Cave Refuge-Chapter 255 - 251 Interrogation 1_2

But when the cylindrical object got close to them, they instinctively reached out and grabbed it.

The moment they grasped it, a blinding light and deafening noise suddenly burst from a hole within the cylindrical object.

They were inside a closed space within the mountain, and the impact of the shock grenade was at least three times more powerful than outside.

The first thing that hit them was the intense light which momentarily blinded them. The deafening explosion that followed seemed to rupture their eardrums, leaving them feeling dazed and disoriented.

The hand that caught the shock grenade went numb and lost all feeling because of the vibrations caused by the shockwave.

Not only were the three of them mentally confused at this time, but they had also lost their sense of sight, hearing, and the sense of touch in one hand.

Though they were aware that detonating the bomb at close range would optimize its effect.

But Dong Tianyu didn’t expect that exploding a shock grenade manipulated by the Art of Controlling Objects would be so effective. Even a Martial Artist in the Inner Breath Realm, after withstanding a close-range explosion of a shock grenade, became temporarily incapacitated, weak as a chicken that anyone could slaughter.

However, just to be safe, Dong Tianyu made a newly purchased submachine gun fly into the mountain with the Art of Controlling Objects, and then directed four bullets directly at their limbs.

Only when Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense confirmed that the three men’s tendons and bones had been shattered, did he leisurely walk into the cave mansion.

While they were still unconscious, he searched them, collecting all their weapons and hidden explosives into his Storage Space.

Then, he casually took a chair out from the Storage Space and sat in front of the wounded Martial Artists whose limbs had been shattered.

Dong Tianyu looked at the three men who were regaining consciousness due to the intense pain from their severed limbs, and asked them smilingly, "Can you tell me why you came here?"

Having reached the Inner Breath Realm, they instinctively controlled their Inner Breath to close up the wounds in their limbs which were still bleeding.

Upon hearing Dong Tianyu’s question, they raised their heads to see him sitting on the chair. At this moment, they knew they had failed this time.

However, in response to Dong Tianyu’s question, the third and the second said nothing, instead, they looked at the eldest with their eyes.

Dong Tianyu seeing this, understood who the boss among the three was, so he slightly adjusted his chair, and directed his words at the eldest, "I wouldn’t deceive you, and you could have guessed the outcome.

Your fate is already sealed. If you answer my questions honestly, I can ensure your demise is comfortable. If you choose to hide anything, I will just have to put in more effort, which is inconsequential for me."

Dong Tianyu’s words first sealed their fate of certain death, proving to them that he wouldn’t lie to them.

Then he used his words to apply pressure, indicating that he would definitely get the answers he wanted from them.

Dong Tianyu was basically telling them not to struggle, and to confess everything honestly, so they can die more peacefully.

Seeing that the eldest didn’t say anything, Dong Tianyu stood up, grabbed his hair, and brutally pulled him to the other end of the cave.

After letting go, Dong Tianyu rubbed his hands together, broke off the hair stuck in his hand, then casually took out another chair and a packet of tissues.

Dong Tianyu sat down, pulled out a piece of tissue, and silently sat there, meticulously wiping his palms.

The eldest, who was now the leader, had decided no matter what Dong Tianyu asked, he wouldn’t answer. But unexpectedly, after Dong Tianyu pulled him over, he didn’t ask anything. He just sat there quietly, wiping his hands as if he had dirtied them when he grabbed the leader’s hair just now.

After a while, Dong Tianyu abruptly stood up and moved closer to the other man. Just as the ring leader thought Dong Tianyu was finally about to ask a question, Dong Tianyu simply grabbed his chin with one hand, applied a little force, and instantly dislocated it. To prevent the man from forcing his jaw back into place with brute strength, Dong Tianyu quickly gagged him before leaving.

As Dong Tianyu walked towards the metal door, the two men lying on the ground noticed he was alone."

Before they could think twice, Dong Tianyu did not explain further. Instead, he grabbed the trousers of the second in command and roughly dragged him to a secluded corner inside the cavern, away from the other two.

He took out a chair just like before and silently sat in front of the man. This time, Dong Tianyu directly dislodged the man’s jaw and, like before, gagged him.

Yet again, he asked no questions. After silently waiting for a moment, Dong Tianyu walked back to the metal door where the third man was lying alone."

This time, Dong Tianyu did not remain silent as he sat in his chair. Instead, he spoke to the third man on the ground. "The first two have already confessed. They were smart enough not to wait for me to get rough with them. Even so, they tried to be clever and only gave me half truths. I hope you are smarter. Don’t try to deceive me. I want the truth." 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Let me tell you, for the first round of questioning, as long as you open your mouth, no matter what you say, I won’t hit you."

But who decided there should only be one round of questioning? Unless you share everything you know, I will continue questioning you in turns.

A piece of advice for you, don’t act like the other two and only give me half truths. It’s obvious from their statements that I gathered a lot of information even without questioning you."

Hence, if you tell me everything you know and I don’t hear anything I haven’t heard from the other two, I will save myself the trouble and skip you in the next round of questioning. What do you think of my offer?"

Of course, you have the right to refuse. If you do, you will be the first to experience physical torture in the next round of questioning."

Or you can be like the other two and tell me half the truth. I can let you pass without a beating."

However, since the next round means physical aggression, the next time I come over, no matter what you say, you’ll learn why it’s called ’physical torture’."

Each word Dong Tianyu uttered seemed to be exerting pressure on him."

Dong Tianyu first told them that their ultimate fate would be death, proving he would not lie to them, and then separated them to create a chain of paranoia."

Next, he dislocated the jaws of the first two men, preventing any communication, all the while remaining silent."

Lastly, he uses words to pressure the remaining man because, in this place, he hasn’t heard any cries of anguish from the others, making him believe Dong Tianyu’s claim that they confessed."

For this reason, the third man was considering what to confess rather than refusing to answer any questions."

Seeing the third man falling silent, Dong Tianyu kindly reminded him, "If you’re not sure what to confess, let me give you a clue. Regardless of what you plan to hide, the reasons for coming here and who informed you about this place are two questions you must answer."

As Dong Tianyu finished speaking, the third man remained silent. Without urging him, after about three minutes, Dong Tianyu stood up and said, "Seems like you need a bit of ’persuasion’ to start talking."

Every time it’s the same; every captive thinks they can emulate those tough guys in movies who can endure torture and stick it out until the end."

But what they forget is that while movie scripts are based on life, they are often glorified. Most people simply can’t imitate these heroic figures, and your persistence only prolongs your needless pain. It’s a lesson to show you how resilient those fictitious characters are."
