Rubbing his hands, the dean accessed his spatial storage and brought out a desk. The desk was filled to the brim with different types of tools neatly laid on it.
The dean looked at the spy, his eyes filled with darkness as he took out a tissue and earned the spy's face.
"Don't worry, just tell us what we need to know and no one would harm you. Even better, we will heal you and let you leave and live as you want," The dean spoke, his voice soft as he took a friendly approach.
"Nope! I won't say a thing. I won't betray my people," The spy spoke, determination written all over his face as he got control over his bearings.
"Then how about we test your determination?" The dean asked with a demonic expression on his face. His smile extended to his ears while showing all of his teeth. His eyes had a malignant glint to them with a devilish aura around him.
Looking at the dean, it seemed as if he had changed completely. His previous fatherly aura was gone, replaced by the aura of a grim reaper. If Ray saw him right now, he would surely say one thing,
"Now that is what you call a celestial. Someone who has killed so much that the aura around himself speaks for it,"
However, it wasn't the same for the spy. The spy was frightened. Frightened of what was to come as he thought,
"What would they do to me? Should I tell them everything? But what of my family if I do?" The spy contemplated as fear started taking root in his heart.
However, his love for his family made him endure it all as the spy steeled himself and got ready to face everything that would be thrown at him.
"I like the look in your eyes and you know what I like the most? The look when I will personally break you. I will torture you so much that you would beg me to kill you. Oh! How fun that would be," The dean muttered, his voice echoing in the spy's fear as the interrogation finally started.
"Now, with the first question. Who do you work for?" The dean asked, smiling as always. However, there was something different as the dean held a scalpel in his hand.
"I won't tell you," The spy spoke resolutely.
"Okay then. Your loss," The dean smiled and moved forward. Approaching the spy, he started to torture him.
Starting from his feet. The dean traced the scalpel and slowly inserted it deep into his big toe. The dean kept on inserting the scalpel until it touched the bone.
Feeling the bone, the dean looked at the spy as he said,
"Here it comes. This is the fun part,"
The spy looked in fear as the scalpel penetrated deeper as it struck the bone. After that, the dean applied more pressure as the scalpel slowly dug inside the bone.
"Arghhhhhhh!!" The spy screamed in pain as the scalpel dug deep into his bone.
With a maniacal smile on his face, the dean pulled the scalpel out. That too, not before twisting it while it was still within the bone. After that, the dean used the same scalpel and started digging the nails out of his toe.
All this time, the spy held on. Even though he screamed with all his might, he endured the pain. He kept on enduring, all while thinking of his family back home.
Seeing the man holding on and still enduring, the dean took it up a notch. Picking up another tool from the table, the dean spoke,
"Looking at you, it seems that you have a very strong will. Let's bump up the difficulty, shall we?" The dean said and went on with the torture.
The spy's screams reverberated in the warehouse while Old Man Abraham sat in a corner with a device in his hands.
Furiously tapping on the screen, Old Man Abraham searched for information regarding the spy.
The old demon stood besides Old Man Abraham as it observed what Old Man Abraham was doing.
"Did you find it?" Old Demon asked,
"I am almost done. And from the information I have gathered, that guy is serving under the command of some native from Earth.
"Who could it be?" Old Demon scratched his chin while contemplating who the traitor would be.
"Don't worry, I have found his weak point. It is said over here that this person had been serving the outworlders for the last five years. However, that is not it. The reason this person is serving the outworlders is that his family is taken hostage by them. Therefore, for their safety, he continues to persist and resist," Old Man Abraham explained as he searched for more info on the spy's family.
"If so, then how do we use this to break him," Old Demon asked.
"Very easy, we put him under an illusion. As for the things he will be while under the influence f the illusion, I will let Prometheus be the judge of it," Old Man Abraham spoke, a smile on his face as he stood up and walked towards the dean.
"Prometheus, I found something," Old Man Abraham whispered in the dean's ear as he told him of the information he had found.
"Oh! So that's how it is. And here I was, wondering over the fact that no matter the amount of torture I inflict on him, he won't break," the dean said in realization as he understood the reason for the man not breaking down.
"Then let's ramp it up a bit," The dean spoke as he continued, "Old Man, do one thing. Use that magic tool and cast an illusion. Put him under that illusion and handle me the control over the illusion,"
"Okay, give me a couple of minutes," Old Man Abraham agreed as he requested some time for preparation.
"You do the preparations while having some more fun with him," The dean spoke as he picked up a peeler and closed in on the spy.
Meanwhile, the spy looked at the dean closing on him. Staying silent, the spy withstood the torture inflicted upon him as only one thought played in his mind,
"Family, all for family," The man thought as he had become numb to the pain he had been feeling.
As for the dean, he used the peeler to slowly peel the spy's skin while also healing the man repeatedly to inflict more pain.
"Prometheus, the illusion is ready," Old Man Abraham said as he handed a pen-shaped object to the dean.
Taking the pen-shaped object, the dean poured his magical energy into it as a strange mist poured out of it. The mist engulfed the whole place as it pulled the spy into an illusion.
Being pulled into the illusion, the spy saw a strange scene playing in front of him.
The spy saw his family standing in front of him,
"Sweetheart, what are you doing here?" He asked, seeing his wife standing in front of him, "Is it a dream?" the man thought as he asked himself.
"My love, please save me. They are going to kill me. I can't take it anymore," The spy's wife sobbed, her expression of fear as she fell to her knees, broken all over with blood leaking out of all her orifices.
Seeing the state his wife was in, the spy rushed forward to embrace her, to feel her, to share her pain. However, he couldn't do so because the moment he reached out to her, she faded into nothingness. Her body faded into light particles as the scenery changed.
In place of his wife, appeared two little girls. Their faces were smeared with blood and mud. Cuts all over their body as blood stained their clothes.
"Dad! Save us, they are very bad. They do so many horrible things, they took us away from mommy. They don't even give us food. Daddy please save us, please feed us, please!!" The girls cried as the scenery kept changing, the girls getting worse and worse as they slowly kept getting weaker and weaker until only bones were left. Their bodies rotted as maggots and fleas appeared on their bodies.
"My lovely angels, daddy will save you. Please don't go," The spy shouted, tears and snot covering his face. His body shook from the sorrow he felt. He felt numb all over as he saw his beloved daughters fading into nothingness.
Seeing all this, his body went limp as he couldn't fathom what was happening to his family.
"Please, I say please leave them alone. I will do anything, just don't hurt them," The spy cried out loud. His frustration was at its peak as he felt his brain shutting off.
Meanwhile,
The dean enjoyed the show as he saw the spy break down from the things he saw in front of him.
"I guess now he won't resist. He will easily give us all the answers we need," Saying that, the dean stood up as he ended the illusion.
