The old men felt like they have gotten too relaxed for their own good, they would never have thought to be spied upon in a such a remote retreat, since they already had enough spies around them most of the time."Do you think we should let the kids dabble into torture as tomorrow"s lesson? Oh look at the poor thing already thinking about her lies, how cute, we don"t need a confession little one, we need a test subject, you will do just fine darling" Dustan proposed with a beautiful smile on his face.
No that the old men thought about it, there was almost a serene moment this night when Fae served tea, that almost scared the old men, such efficient behaviour, not to mention using a small errand that consumes so little time to intercept a report and return, they also made sure the listener was more focused on the conversation than on if her report made it or not. This is what you call an impeccable team skills. Debauchery found a target, monitored it, noticed a discrepancy and even set up a trap and executed an extremely daring operation with so little communication that even the old men themselves did not figure out while it was going in front of their own eyes, no wonder the spy did not even react before getting captured.
The next order of business was not to get intelligence from the spy, but they thought of training their students in torture instead of interrogation, an odd thing to think about, but it was also an introduction to interrogation if they squint really hard. Most other groups would think about extracting intelligence from the captive but Debauchery seems to be so sure that the information can be extracted it"s just a matter of using a rare resource of an enemy captive to educate their students even if it was something as despicable as torture.
As for the captive lady was feeling she just fell into the hands of maniacs and she is not going to get out of this unscathed, so she thought about her training and thought about ways to get out of this hairy situation with minimal damage, especially since both the pope and the guild master are here there is a chance she would be taken away buy them for questioning and that is more manageable than these maniacs.
Debauchery tied up the lady and sealed her mana and paralysed her muscles just in case, she was given to Bai to hug and keep an eye on for the night. It was a long night for the lady who kept waiting for the **** to come but only around dawn did she figure out that "hug and keep an eye on" was meant literally and not any metaphor for anything else.
At dawn Debauchery juniors woke up and started their routine, getting the girls ready, work out until sunrise then take a bath before breakfast. After breakfast the old men joined Debauchery in the back yard to watch how will the lesson be conducted. Only Lili was surprised to see the captive who had been restored to her normal conditions and only tied her to a chair. As for the rest of the students it was just another training dummy for some lessons they had not taken yet.
Leader started the lecture "Today"s lesson is interrogation techniques, you must extract the information we need from this spy, if you fail by midday, you will be taught torture, and you will perform it on her, no matter if she confesses or not, you will have to apply torture until you master the techniques, you may start". The captive had a dumbfounded look on her face, she was going to be a training dummy for those children no matter what she does, and even if she told everything she knew to them it might not be the information the adults want. She could lie and be tortured to oblivion and back or she could tell the truth and betray her faith, and so her faith won.
It took a few moments before the kids made any move, and the old men were about to stop the lesson when Yunan took out a chair and sat in front of the woman and asked "are you going to answer our questions truthfully? That way we don"t have to learn torture and you can skip the pain four untrained children can cause, what say you?". "Never" answered the woman with spite, she had a smug smile on her face but that smile disappeared slowly as the she listened to the kids.
Leol and Reina approached as well and took out their own chairs beside Yunan with Reina in the middle. "If that is the case then let us share some truths with you, and them we can start with the torture training right away, so listen to us please". Leol started the conversation and pa.s.sed his turn to Reina "To be honest with you, the only reason you were captured and not killed is those maniacs want to teach 10 year old how to torture and corrupt our minds in the cruelest of ways, everyone here knows who sent you and why, we even know the whole reason behind your religion, but we have to torture you because you think your precious faith is worth more than our sanity".
Yunan followed "let me tell you how this will go on, you will be our training dummy during the days, and a pleasure toy at night, by the time we master our torture techniques you would have been broken a few times and repaired again because you are the only one dumb enough to spy on this group making it impossible for you to get the relief of death or be replaced for a temporary respite."
"Then after all is said and done and you are voluntarily telling us your life story and anything you might think we want to know, that shifty guy over there, will use his memory magic on you, but there is a catch to his magic, anything he reads is deleted, the name of your beloved pet, the name of your most loved, their looks, your faith, your drive, your motives and all the sacred things you keep close to your heart. He will read them and delete them, then you will become an empty soulless husk with no love, no drive, and no faith, you will become a dead tool for these two old men here to spy on those who loved you and cared for you."
"You will happily betray all of what you stand for just to please the same old men you tried to protect all you have against, i feel bad for you, more than i feel about having to endure the trauma of torturing you for the rest of my life." The three kids stood up and said at the same time "thank you for listening" then turned to Balin "since there is no point in asking questions let"s start with the training and be done with it"
