Chapter 699 – It’s Harder Than You Think.
-Fuck!
“Whoop!!”
-Bwaaak!!
“Hehe!!”
In a pure white room, to the point of psychosis, only the sound of someone crying in pain after being beaten is the only sound that resonates.
‘Why am I doing this…?’
Gu Seong-hyeon, who was dazed by the constant pain, recalled what happened before he was hit.
When he first came to his senses and heard someone’s voice, he realized that his body was bound somewhere.
‘It’s dangerous.’
The thought I immediately heard at that time was that it was dangerous.
After talking about the big deal with Kim Ho-cheol, I went home and was thinking about my future happiness, but then everything changed.
He was frightened by the voice that accompanied the sudden kidnapping, but came to his senses.
‘First, you won’t kill me…’
If they were going to kill him right away, they would have killed him on the spot and dealt with it instead of kidnapping him.
Gu Seong-hyeon, who remembered that he had lost consciousness after getting into the car, became even more convinced when the person who kidnapped him said that only he could ask questions while causing pain.
‘There’s something you want to get from me!’
Having something to ask means you need information, so you don’t have to worry about dying right now.
You can’t kill them until they get what they want, so what they can do is bide their time.
It is difficult to kidnap someone and commit a crime in Korea, which has a level of security recognized globally.
Since they won’t be able to kidnap him for long, he goes out strong, shows his will, and releases information little by little to save time.
Although he was able to calmly organize his thoughts during that short period of time, there was one thing he didn’t know.
-This is a virtual reality world.
He thought he could never risk dying until he got what he wanted, but his thoughts soon changed.
-Bwaaak!!
“Aaaaa!! Now, just a moment!! I will tell you!! “I don’t know what you want, but I’ll tell you anything!!”
He was reaching out because he thought the other person clearly wanted something from him, but it was a complete illusion.
I was planning on taking my time while I screamed out loud, but the violence continued after that.
Every time I got hit, my mind went blank and the pain I felt in my body was truly incredible.
I felt like I could die if things continued like this, so I desperately said I would cooperate with everything.
Unfortunately, the person who kidnapped him was not a very gentle person.
-Fuck!
“Please, please! Let me tell you. Say it… Ahh! Please do it!!”
I clearly said I would talk, but the other person did not ask and instead increased the intensity of the pain.
Before, I felt dazed every time I got hit, but now it’s the opposite.
Every time I get hit, I am forced to wake up and an incredible amount of pain hits my mind.
When he thought that he could die if he was beaten further with this intensity, he became desperate.
“Hmm… Maal… Let me talk…”
He didn’t respond to Seong Seong-hyeon’s request to speak and just kept beating.
After using his fists, he didn’t say a word and just kept punching with increasing intensity.
‘I need to take this opportunity to engrave it properly.’
This is punishment. Punishment for not keeping what I said.
People who have never experienced the crisis of death do not consider death that big of a deal.
Even though I’m afraid, it doesn’t affect me because it’s something that won’t happen to me right now.
So, to help me correct those thoughts, I engraved deeply into my body and mind that if I were really hit, I could die.
“How did you get the idea to say something now?”
“Okay, I’ll tell you…”
I don’t know how much he beat Seong Seong-hyeon. I just keep hitting it until the grass dies.
When the criminal finally stopped the violence and spoke, Seong Seong-hyeon desperately managed to speak out in a situation where it seemed like his mind would be broken by pain.
I can finally escape this pain. He spoke with that thought in mind and gathered his dazed mind.
It was because I thought that if I didn’t answer properly now, I might feel that pain again.
“Then you can answer my questions well.”
“Of course! Please ask anything! Anything!!”
It looks completely different from when he was first kidnapped and resisted.
It seemed like he was begging me to ask him everything, which suited him very well.
“Then first, name and age.”
“His name is Gu Seong-hyeon… He’s 57 years old.”
The first interrogation begins with asking for your name and age. Because all the research has already been completed, and it is a question that can never be lied to.
“What are your family members?”
“I have a father, mother, wife and two sons.”
“You didn’t lie.”
“Yes, that’s right! “I will never lie!”
The next question to ask is about family members. This is known as a form of pressure.
It makes you say things that can be easily researched, like your name and age, and tells you that I know about your family.
“What position do you hold at this company?”
“I hold the position of Vice President at Mejia Corporation!”
“What do you do there?”
“I check the payment documents coming from the departments below, and if it is something that can be resolved on my own, I will make the payment!”
Once he starts to open the door, he answers without telling any lies.
But.
This is just the beginning. I’ll start with questions that the other person can easily answer, and then ask more and more difficult questions.
“Do you know why you were kidnapped?”
“… “I don’t know.”
“You really don’t know? “There must be something to point out, right?”
“I… I really don’t know.”
Something like this. When asked why he was captured, Gu Seong-hyeon lied.
[It’s a lie.]
Since the system is controlling all of his brain waves, if he lies to me, he will inevitably be caught.
When people lie in extreme situations, they react more strongly than when they lie about something random.
“You lied.”
“Oh, no…”
“Shut up.”
-Bwaaak!!
“Khaaaaa!!”
I lied. Then, the other person will now be punished for lying.
And the punishment must be much more severe than the punishment received in the first place to kill the spirit.
‘You have to make sure they never adapt.’
I feel like I have no choice but to get used to pain after experiencing it to some extent.
Of course, I could control the intensity of the pain because the system can control Gu Seong-hyeon’s brain waves, but I didn’t want to do that.
-Fuck! Baaaaa!!
“Ahhhhh!
Why do that when I can make it even more painful myself? I haven’t even used 10% of my original power yet.
So, they start to harass you with increasing intensity. From now on, don’t even think about the word lie.
———————
How much would it take to punish Seong Seong-hyeon for his lies?
The guy’s body was now nothing but a disgrace.
“Buy… Buy…”
At first, the blows were just simple bruises, but gradually they hit with enough force to break bones.
He may have wanted to lose his mind from the pain of his bones being shattered, but that couldn’t be allowed.
He had no choice but to suffer all the pain with a lively spirit until he broke every bone in his arms that were tied to the chair.
“How is it? Do you feel like lying again?”
“Hani… Hanini…”
Perhaps because I continued to feel extreme pain without losing consciousness, I developed some linguistic deficiencies.
I didn’t hit anyone in the face, but only aimed at my arms, but after seeing that I couldn’t pronounce it properly, I asked the system.
‘Treat everyone.’
[I understand.]
Ask the system to treat Seong Seong-hyeon’s entire body. This is the good thing about virtual reality.
In reality, you would have to use potions to keep your life alive, but there is no need for that here.
Here, the only thing that actually feels pain is his mind, and his real body is fine, so he can be tormented as many times as he wants.
“Ah…!”
Gu Seong-hyeon, who had been struggling while wincing from the pain of breaking his bones, was amazed when his entire body felt refreshed and his arm, which had been in so much pain, became fine.
‘Is this… Something that humans can do…’
The two arms that had been in so much pain returned to normal. As a test, I wiggled my fingers and found that they moved well without any worries.
Gu Seong-hyeon, who felt something unbelievable, something that was nothing short of a miracle, fell into even greater fear.
Because if he could heal his body like this, he could feel the same pain when he lied again.
“Let’s start again, if you lie again… I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.”
“Never! I will never lie! “I will answer all your questions sincerely!!”
After all, no human being can escape from the fear of death.
No, he could quietly feel the fear of death, but he could never escape the endless swamp of pain.
————————-
Afterward, I asked Gu Seong-hyeon several questions. A trivial story, such as what kind of executive he holds in the company and what he plans to do in the future.
Now that we’ve finished talking, it’s time to ask him the question we asked earlier.
“So do you know why you were kidnapped today?”
“Oh, I know…”
“Hoo? Why do you think you were kidnapped?”
“Gulp…!”
When Ko Seong-hyeon heard the same question as before, he opened his mouth, feeling his whole body tremble.
“It’s because I… Backed out CEO Yoo Jong-hoo.”
“That’s all?”
“Not only that, they tried to take advantage of the company’s weaknesses and swallow it up.”
“Do you understand?”
“Whoa…”
When Gu Seong-hyeon, who gave the correct answer, was finally sighing with relief that it might not be correct.
“Why did you do that when you knew?”
“!!!!”
He got shivers all over his body at that single word, “Why did you do it when you knew?” And shouted as best as he could.
“Lord, I have committed a deadly sin!! If you wish, I will go straight to President Yu Jong-hu, kneel before him, and confess all my sins!!!”
I struggle desperately to somehow survive. After seeing that, I took out an item from the store.
“Do you want to live?”
“… “I want to live.”
“Then make a contract with me.”
“What… Ah…?”
When I used the item I took out from the store, Gu Seong-hyeon’s eyes lost focus.
[Dreamy Fragrance]
-Anyone who absorbs this scent will do as you say. (The more mentally unstable the opponent, the more effective it is.)
Since men cannot be brainwashed, this was the method I used to worry about over and over again.
It is possible to make a target submit through pain. But brainwashing is something else.
It was something I had prepared in advance because I thought it would take a long time to completely destroy my mind and change it to what I wanted.
‘I tried it once, so next time I’ll try it without using items.’
Since I had never experienced it before, there was a risk of failure, so I had no choice but to borrow the power of the item.
Because once a person’s spirit is broken, it may never be restored.
So, I decided that next time I would definitely take a useless person from the world and brainwash him.
‘Then let’s start brainwashing.’
It wasn’t that difficult to brainwash Seong Seong-hyeon, whose mind had completely succumbed to the pain I gave him.
I soon left the virtual reality, having engraved the things I should never do in the mind of a completely blank person.
