24 Hours to Save the World

Chapter 58: Think of yourself as a chess piece

Views:

In the interrogation room, the ball gag in Zhu Shijiu's mouth was finally removed, but the other restraints were still in place.

It was still pitch black in front of him, and he knew that these people didn't want him to see anything. Even though he had fallen into their hands, they still seemed so cautious.

After the restraints on his mouth were untied, Zhu Shijiu first relieved the pain in his cheeks, then smiled at them: "What time is it now? How long have I been unconscious?"

The man on the other side didn't seem to expect that the first thing Zhu Shijiu said after being freed was this - and then, just like the conversation in the fourth week, the man asked: "It seems that you have anticipated what is happening to you now?"

This time, Zhu Shijiu was not as stubborn as he was in Act 4. This time, he came here just to meet these men in black.

"Yes, I expected it. Haven't you investigated me?"

The middle-aged man did not seem to expect Zhu Shijiu to remain so calm in such a critical situation. For a moment, he began to guess what the young man was thinking.

However, no matter how he thought about it, he probably didn't expect that Zhu Shijiu took the initiative to make all this happen. So Zhu Shijiu had already taken the initiative in the conversation from the beginning.

Not to mention that he was familiar with these people's interrogation tactics.

He smiled calmly: "You should have seen the post I posted online."

"Who are you?" The middle-aged man did not fall into passive thoughts at all, and his voice was still steady.

"I'm Zhu Shijiu, an ordinary college student."

"I already know this, but I think you should understand that this is not what I want to know."

"Are you asking about the organization behind me?"

Zhu Shijiu smiled and said, "Sorry, I can't say."

"It doesn't matter if you don't say it. I hope you can be as tough as you are now next time."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong electric current suddenly rushed into Zhu Shijiu's body!

Although he already knew that he would be tortured once he entered this interrogation room, Zhu Shijiu still couldn't help but want to curse these lunatics. All of them were psychopaths!

Under the stimulation of the electric current, he could only scream wildly, feeling the modern human torture method that was more exciting than being cut into pieces. When every cell in his body sent a wail that went straight into his brain, he could not remain silent like a tough guy.

These people maintained the electric current at an optimal state, and Zhu Shijiu did not fall into a coma.

After a while, the current stopped.

Zhu Shijiu began to breathe heavily.

"Oh? I'm not incontinent."

The man's words reminded Zhu Shijiu of his experience during the interrogation in the fourth round. At that time, he shamefully became incontinent after the first electric shock.

Although Zhu Shijiu's willpower is slightly better now than in the fourth round, it is actually not much better. The reason why he did not suffer from incontinence is that he had already cleared out his feces and urine in advance.

It can be said that he really put a lot of thought into making this round of the show a little more decent.

But in the eyes of middle-aged men, this has become a symbol of strong will.

The middle-aged man's joking voice came: "How is it? Did you say it?"

Zhu Shijiu panted and replied: "I will never betray my organization!"

"Is that your answer? Wrong answer."

The middle-aged man waved his hand, and electric current once again rushed into Zhu Shijiu's body.

“Ahh—”

Zhu Shijiu screamed in pain, his voice becoming hoarse.

When the current ended, Zhu Shijiu smelled a burning smell.

He didn't even have the energy to curse.

"Tell me, where did you get the portrait of that man?"

Zhu Shijiu pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "Isn't that man you?"

The air was silent for a moment.

The man sneered and admitted, "Haha, it seems that your information is more detailed than I thought. Logically speaking, given the confidentiality of my identity, you should not be able to know what I look like."

"But I just know, hahahaha..." Zhu Shijiu laughed arrogantly, as if he was sure that they could not guess the reason.

When Zhu Shijiu laughed wildly, the third electric shock began.

"… "

ID card-56彡⑦④彡6⑦5

Zhu Shijiu was numb from being called so many times.

When the current stopped, the man's deep voice became much colder, and he said something that cheered up the dying Zhu Shijiu.

—"The woman named Du Fei has been tortured to death by us."

Here it comes.

Zhu Shijiu pretended to be sad and angry, recalling the emotions he felt after hearing the news of Li Hua's death in the fourth week, and naturally displayed perfect acting skills comparable to that of an Oscar winner.

"Grass!"

Zhu Shijiu tried his best to break free, cursing wildly: “How could you do this?! She is just an ordinary person! I haven’t been able to recruit her into the organization in full accordance with the organization’s orders... You actually killed her - I’m going to kill you! You sons of bitches - ahhhh -”

After he finished cursing, another strong electric current came, making Zhu Shijiu look even more miserable.

Under the surveillance of the park, Zhu Shijiu's intimate gesture of putting clothes on Du Fei was not just a pretense. He had already expected that he would fall into the hands of these men in black, and he had also expected that those men in black would definitely be able to see his intimate behavior towards Du Fei under the surveillance, so there would not be any flaws in his performance now.

In the fourth episode, he and Li Hua were roommates, but in this episode, he and Du Fei were just strangers with a shallow relationship. He needed to find a suitable outlet for his emotions and disguise himself as having admiration for Du Fei.

He also thought that if the man asked him about Du Fei, he could also talk a lot of things to perfunctorily answer the question. He knew Du Fei's dreams, hobbies, daily routine, and favorite foods... He also knew what Du Fei's deceased grandfather had said, and how he taught her archery when she was a child...

What he had not encountered in this round, he had already understood through several rounds, and he believed that he could play the role of a young boy with unrequited love.

In this round, he also treated himself as a pawn. If he regretted it during the interrogation, he could only blame himself for making the plan for this round in the previous round.

After the current stopped, the man made a rough judgment and roughly believed that the grief Zhu Shijiu was now expressing was genuine.

So, he said the same words as in the fourth round.

"Well, guess whether she told us everything."

Same routine as in the fourth week.

Torture his body first, then break his psychological defenses.

Zhu Shijiu lowered his head, looking desperate, but in his heart he was calm as if he had expected it.

—Sometimes he can convey the information he wants to convey without having to say it himself, and naturally let the other party know the false information he wants the other party to know.

"You... already knew?" Zhu Shijiu raised his head, his expression collapsed, as if his defenses had been broken both physically and mentally.

"Know what?"

Zhu Shijiu's collapsed expression was lifeless, and his tone was filled with a dark sense of despair: "Of course I know that the world will end tomorrow."

This kind of state can never be acted out by someone who has not truly experienced the end of the world.

After the person you love dies, do you give up and start leaking information

The middle-aged man looked at the half of Zhu Shijiu's face under the eye mask, frowned, and was half-believing and half-doubting.

"The world will end tomorrow? Did the organization behind you tell you that?"

"No, I know it myself..." Zhu Shijiu seemed determined to die, "If you really get something out of Du Fei, then you should know why I know it."

The middle-aged man thought of the scene in which Zhu Shijiu won 120 lottery tickets in a row when he was reading his information, and also thought of the absurd words that Du Fei confessed in the interrogation room.

What Zhu Shijiu, whose eyes were covered, could not see was that the middle-aged man's brows were furrowed so tightly that water seemed to come out of his brows.

But he heard the man's extremely confused tone, full of doubt.

"You mean... you can predict the future?"

—He said what Zhu Shijiu wanted to hear.
