Chapter 66 - 66. Dead...

WARNING: BLOOD AND GORE AHEAD.

That Day...

After finishing his sparring session for the day, Xuan was ready to head back home.

As usual, he went through the practice hall's huge door and then passed through a huge corridor in front of it to get to the only elevator that led to the topmost floor of the building, since the base was underground only the topmost floor was visible from the surface, a well-thought-out camouflage for a secret base, right?

As the elevator went up, his heartbeat for some unknown reason sped up, maybe it was the instinct, you see, it was basically his auto-equipped warning bells he was born, that is, against danger....

The elevator stopped just a floor above the floor he was at earlier and issued a signal of temporary malfunction.

He got off at the floor, knowing full well what it meant; it was prohibited to enter floors without getting prior permission; still, he had to, he didn't know until when this lift won't move and he had to get out of this hell as fast as he could.

As hard as it gets, that's how you get FLAG.

This floor was not guarded at all because it was impossible for the people who are brought here to escape.

Those people who betrayed the organization, those who are tortured even harsher than that in the 18th layer of hell, are the regulars here.

Xuan was ready to run at his fastest speed to the other end and get to the stairs but luck was really not favoring him that day.

Midway through his run he heard a huge scream, and call it his concise or humanity or curiosity, his legs stopped moving and even though his brain was sending him warning signals, he still followed towards the source of sound...

The rooms in this floor were not soundproof, a reason for it being the fact that the screams and cries of helplessness of one will psychologically affect the rest, even for a bystander it was depressing enough to give them a trauma and to those who will face it, it was morally on a basic level worse than dying.

Just as he reached there and peeked through the glass window into the room, he felt like vomiting.

There hanged a man on a vertical bar, blood seeping out from every cell of his body but still unable to hide the shine of the brand new nails with a silver luster, nailed into every possible inch of his body except the throat and above, it appeared cold, too cold.

It was a miracle that the man was still alive.

Xuan balled his fists, it was too cruel...but that was not it...., it seems he had been given anesthesia and pain killers as he wasn't able to feel the pain but the mental trauma was enough to make him scream and plea for mercy but just as the last nail was struck into the center of the protrusion of ankle, a cold voice from the upper floor's viewing area sounded, "Remove effect of the pain killers and administer S-100."

The 'sinner' fainted almost after he heard the other person speak but was woken up by pressurized cold water from an emergency anti-fire water pipe.

The man in an overall black uniform, who has been torturing the said man like he was a dead animal, without batting an eyelid, seemed to get excited as the shiver that went through him was even visible from the distance Xuan was standing.

The man had a neurotic smile on his face as he explained what 'S-100' was, "xiao Hei, when you joined the oraganisation, I told you that the only rule you have to follow is to not go against the organisation but tch tch tch...the first crime you commit is the biggest taboo, but in a way, I have to thank you~. You see, before the S-100 came out, I had tried it on a rat and had done the same thing I did to you with it but you see, I didn't get enough results. That bloody rat died before I could even inject the whole thing into it...USELESS!!!

But now I'll get enough data, you'll scream for me right. You see, I'm such a good man, I left everything above your throat untouched so that you can tell me how does my new creation feels, it will raise your 'sensitivity to every sensation by a 100%', aren't I a genius, hmm." The man had a smug and proud look on his face. Just after finishing what he had to say, which made 'xiao Hei's' eyes as big as tennis balls and as drops of tears the size of a marble fell down his bulged out eyes, the man injected about 100ml of a pink liquid into his bloodstream.

"ARRRRRrRgggggggGhHHHH", the man shouted and simultaneously his pupils went back, white foam came out of his mouth and his body started spasming non-stop for about 3 minutes, he was groaning from time to time but the sounds were getting weaker by the second and finally he stopped moving.

"Ara~ ara~ he fainted", just when the man in black stopped speaking a huge 'BEEP' resounded throughout the floor.

The cold voice from before came back, "Guan Li, he died."
