The Super Bodyguard of the Beautiful CEO-Chapter 33 - 25: The Ten Terrible Tortures of the Qing Dynasty
Chapter 33: Chapter 25: The Ten Terrible Tortures of the Qing Dynasty
Qi Manlin saw Ghost Shadow move and cry out, and immediately shouted to Lin Mu,
"Alright, he’s better now. You should get lost too!"
"What?" Lin Mu was frustrated. She’s kicking him out instantly, this is totally backstabbing! "Wait!"
"What else?" Qi Manlin asked disdainfully,
"Just now, who was it that said if bro could cure the mute, they’d write their surname backward, right? Did I hear that wrong?"
The two police officers shivered all over after hearing this. This guy’s memory is really not bad, huh! He can remember something from a minute ago?
So these two brothers’ faces became almost as dark as Bao Qingtian, but Qi Manlin just said with a giggle,
"What’s wrong? It’s writing backward, I can testify!"
"Alright then, write his surname backward!" Lin Mu provocatively pointed at the chubby officer next to him and said,
"His last name is Wang, backward is still Wang!" Qi Manlin answered simply,
Lin Mu was instantly dumbfounded. Damn, you’re really good, "Fine, that skinny guy, how about him?"
"Hehe," Qi Manlin flashed a sly smile, "Aww, you’re really unlucky, his last name is Tian!"
Crap, Lin Mu’s brain had a short circuit, and he stared resentfully at the big-busted policewoman giggling behind her hand,
"Alright, I admit defeat! Hmph!"
"Not seeing you off..."
"I’m not leaving, I’m going to watch you interrogate, is that okay?"
"Fine, you’d better hide in the corner, don’t let me see you!"
Qi Manlin gave him a sideways glance, and for some unknown reason, seeing this unlucky guy’s insincere smile made her chest ache with anger, proving that having a big chest indeed has side effects!
"Is it because I’m just too handsome?"
Lin Mu immediately showed his signature insincere smile, making Qi Manlin nearly collapse, hastily covering her pure eyes, that cheeky look, it was simply visual pollution, but in Lin Mu’s self-perception, that look was unbelievably dashing!
Hmm, whatever, Earthlings always have no way to handle this type of person!
Qi Manlin redirected her anger from Lin Mu to Ghost Shadow Assassin, "Speak, name, age, occupation..."
Unexpectedly, Ghost Shadow Assassin didn’t even lift his head, instead, he turned his face away, blatantly disregarding Captain Qi!
"See, I told you he wouldn’t comply!" Lin Mu seized the opportunity to make sarcastic remarks from the side,
"Whether he complies or not, that’s up to me!"
Qi Manlin finally showed her fierce side as the head of the Wancheng Criminal Investigation Team, without this bit of skill, how could she hold the scene!
"Pour some chili water on him!" Qi Manlin shouted sternly,
"Yes!"
The chubby officer went out and immediately returned with a big bowl of red chili water. It seems these officers were used to using unofficial means, they had the tools ready long ago!
The bright red chili water looked truly terrifying, but to Ghost Shadow Assassin, that taste was no worse than cola, he took a big gulp with delight, praising, "Hmm, satisfying!"
The chubby officer quickly took the chili water away upon seeing this, Ghost Shadow Assassin grumbled discontentedly, "Don’t take it away, I still want to drink!"
Lin Mu laughed almost to the point of spitting out, "I say, brother, next time you need to make it clear to the prisoners, this stuff isn’t for free..."
Qi Manlin glared at Lin Mu fiercely and shouted defiantly, "Taliban, go!"
The thin officer came over with a wet towel, and together with the fat policeman, they pinned Ghost Shadow down on the bench, covering Ghost Shadow’s face, nose, and mouth tightly with the wet towel. This created a suffocating illusion, a tactic said to be favored by Taliban forces when torturing prisoners, hence the name!
However, the result clearly disappointed the three policemen. The Ghost Shadow Assassin, after a moment of adjustment, surprisingly started twisting and tangoing as if dancing, prompting Qi Manlin to yank the towel away with frustration, declaring yet another failure!
Lin Mu laughed even more joyfully, his stomach aching from laughter. He knew that as the number one assassin on the Huaxia Assassin List, Ghost Shadow couldn’t possibly let himself be handled so easily by these three small-time cops, or how would he maintain his reputation?
"Bamboo Stake Piercing Bone!"
Damn, they even brought out the Top Ten Tortures of the Qing Dynasty. Next, are they going to scoop out the heart of the prisoner and feed it to the dogs? Lin Mu was intrigued, eagerly pulling up a small stool to watch the police performing illegal methods with excitement!
The fat and thin cops stabbed at Ghost Shadow’s hand with bamboo sticks for half a day, but couldn’t get any reaction! They looked puzzled at the Ghost Shadow Assassin, who showed a face full of enjoyment. Damn, what kind of guy is this? Are these even human hands? Even their own hands hurt from stabbing, yet the prisoner didn’t even furrow an eyebrow. Damn, what a perverse assassin!
But only Lin Mu knew that for a master who had trained in Shaolin Internal Martial Arts, his inner strength was enough to deal with three ordinary policemen. Although Ghost Shadow’s True Qi had been scattered by Lin Mu, his cultivation of inner strength remained. It’s like the Body-Protecting Divine Skill of an enlightened monk; it had become part of his body, something ordinary people could never defeat!
In the end, even Qi Manlin joined in, and the three small cops were drenched in sweat. Qi Manlin, more so, her pretty face covered in fine beads of sweat, and her forehead glistening with fragrant sweat.
"Sigh, big brother better take on the task personally!" Lin Mu sighed, "Otherwise, if you tire yourself out without breaking the prisoner, you’ll end up exhausting yourselves instead. If you exhaust yourselves, it’s fine, but it might bring bad luck to me too. If the old man thinks I caused your injury and sends me to Thailand for a sex change in anger, it’d be a disaster..."
Qi Manlin no longer tried to stop him. She knew she was simply not on the same level as Ghost Shadow! To deal with a freak like Ghost Shadow, only someone even more inhuman like Lin Mu would suffice!
Lin Mu coldly stared into Ghost Shadow Assassin’s eyes as if he could see through to his inner world, but he saw not a trace of fear, "Oh, I almost forgot. As a high-level Outer Sect Cultivation Disciple of the Buddhist Family, you can escape the shackles of the physical body, so this bit of pain is hardly a threat to you, yes?"
Ghost Shadow still didn’t speak, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes, precisely what Lin Mu had anticipated.
"Don’t think I dare not kill you. Of course, I know you’re not afraid of death, but have you ever tried that half-dead feeling?" Lin Mu’s lips curled into a wicked smile, but quickly turned to an extremely cold visage, "You’re wrong, I’m not like those stupid policemen. You can’t withstand me. I have a hundred ways to make you talk, don’t believe it? You can try!"
Upon hearing Lin Mu call them stupid policemen, Qi Manlin was about to erupt in anger but suddenly noticed the fiendish and even cruel expression flashing across Lin Mu’s face. She couldn’t help but feel a chill, and the curse at the tip of her tongue was swallowed back down.
Lin Mu suddenly had a hiltless dagger in his hand, despite everyone being searched entering and leaving the police station. No one knew how this guy had smuggled it in!
Before Qi Manlin could stop him, Lin Mu had already swung his right hand. Psst, a gash appeared on the chest of the Ghost Shadow Assassin. Arrows of blood shot far out, almost hitting the wall opposite, but the Ghost Shadow Assassin remained unfazed, even showing a trace of an imperceptible smile. Damn, does that feel fun?
However, Lin Mu didn’t stop. Psst, another cut, just inches from the first. The two wounds lay parallel, and before Ghost Shadow could react, Lin Mu, under the astonished gazes of the three little cops, grabbed the skin between the two wounds and forcefully ripped off a piece of flesh. In that moment, Qi Manlin’s face turned ashen, and the other two cops couldn’t help but close their eyes in discomfort.
The Ghost Shadow Assassin could no longer endure. The excruciating pain of the tearing flesh tortured him intensely, despite his iron-like physique being unable to withstand such inhuman brutality!
"Ju-just this move... Is it... only this..."
Even amidst the meat-grinding agony, Ghost Shadow couldn’t resist a tough facade, albeit one not very convincing. After all, this isn’t something flesh and blood could withstand!
"Yes! There’s more! I told you, I have a hundred ways to make you talk. This is just the most comfortable one. There are even more exciting ones, do you want to hear?"
Ghost Shadow’s face was pained and distorted, yet he stubbornly nodded.
"Good, you have guts!" Lin Mu’s face showed a merciless smirk, "This is the first cut. Later, I will cut your skin open bit by bit, then sprinkle salt on the wounds. Oh, and put some ants on it. As for your feet, I thought of letting you experience the feeling of a shredder..."
For the first time in history, Ghost Shadow’s body trembled in fright, while Qi Manlin and the other three policemen couldn’t stop shuddering in their hearts.
"Don’t be anxious, there’s more. When I was in Africa, I invented a new way of killing called potato slicing. It’s actually your balls, cut into slices and fed to cats, very fun... Hehe..."
Ghost Shadow’s expression finally changed. As a top assassin, he had heard of many cruel tortures, but what frightened him more was that this guy was like a devil. When speaking of these tortures, he didn’t blink, so Ghost Shadow knew, this guy meant what he said, and was a hundred times more cruel than any opponent he’d encountered!
Even the two cops beside him clamped their legs tightly after hearing about potato slicing. Lin Mu couldn’t be said to be like a devil anymore; he was clearly a real devil!
After such a confrontation lasting half a minute, the coldness in Lin Mu’s eyes grew ever deeper, as if water could be squeezed from his gaze. Ghost Shadow suddenly thought of something, "Could you be? The one from the North African Grassland..."
"Correct!" Lin Mu nodded affirmatively, signaling with his eyes that he should speak no more!
Finally, Ghost Shadow lowered his unyielding head, panting heavily as he admitted defeat, "I confess... I’ll confess everything..."
