"Indeed, but you are wrong; I am not from Purgatory. I am Asura's man." Ghost Dao curled his lips into a slight smile.
In any organization, it is possible for spies from other factions to appear.
Even within the Reverse Dragon Group, such situations are unavoidable.
Not to mention the Dragon Team.
Ghost Dao is one of Asura's, infiltrating the Dragon Team.
For the task at hand, he had finally exposed his true identity.
Hei Die was dumbfounded, as she had never dreamed that Ghost Dao could also be one of Asura's.
Ghost Dao walked up to Piao Yu, grabbed her hair, and jerked her drooping head up.
Piao Yu came to her senses.
"Captain..." Piao Yu saw Hei Die, speaking weakly, "Captain, I'm sorry, I... I failed to complete the task..."
"Ghost Dao, you beast, let her go!" Seeing her team member tortured like this, Hei Die gritted her silver teeth.
Ghost Dao looked indifferently at Hei Die and said, "Hei Die, I could let her go if you hand over the task items to me!"
"Captain, forget about me, you must never give it to him. You must... complete the task... Hmm!" Before Piao Yu could finish speaking, Ghost Dao yanked her head down forcefully by her hair.
Piao Yu let out a muffled groan.
The hooks that held her hands together caused blood to flow out even faster.
Piao Yu really wanted to scream because of the pain, but she knew she must not.
Because she did not want the captain to fail the mission because of her.
"Hei Die, I know the mission takes precedence in your heart, but you wouldn't want to see your dear sister being tortured by me, would you?" Ghost Dao said with a cold gaze.
"I've said it before, the task item I have here is a decoy!" Hei Die shivered with anger.
"Heh, do you think I'd believe that?" Ghost Dao chuckled lightly.
He had already verified that the box on Piao Yu was indeed empty.
So, he was sure, the real task item was in Hei Die's possession.
The reason Hei Die was attacked immediately after returning to the cement factory was actually because he had informed Black Butterfly and the others.
"Believe it or not, what I said is true; maybe the task items both of us carry are fake!"
"It seems that without some real pressure, you won't speak up." Ghost Dao shook his head.
Then he drew the shorter of the two swords strapped to his waist.
"Hei Die, you should know what I use this knife for, right?" Ghost Dao asked mockingly.
Ghost Dao had joined the Organization even before Hei Die.
So, Hei Die never imagined that Ghost Dao could be a spy planted by Asura within the Dragon Team.
She was also very familiar with Ghost Dao's two swords.
One is called Robbery.
The other is called Calamity.
The short one is called Calamity.
The long one is called Robbery.
The long knife is meant for killing.
The short knife is specifically used for torture during interrogation.
Short Blade Robbery is slender, slightly curved, with an extremely sharp tip.
Ghost Dao slowly squatted down, Short Blade Robbery lightly sliding over Piao Yu's foot which had its shoes removed.
"No, don't!" Hei Die's face changed drastically.
Swoosh!
Ghost Dao gently drew the blade across the top of Piao Yu's foot, immediately producing a bloody mark with blood gushing out.
"Ah!"
Piao Yu let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Robbery, a blade crafted from a special material, gives wounds that not only fail to heal but also doubles the sensation of pain.
Liang Bing knew the effects of Robbery.
But knowing was one thing.
How much pain it caused when actually slicing through flesh, she did not know.
Now, she understood.
As a Dragon Group Soldier, her ability to endure pain certainly far surpassed that of Ordinary People.
Yet Piao Yu merely had her skin lacerated by Robbery and found herself screaming in agony.
Liang Bing watched, her eyes almost splitting open, but could do nothing.
Because, she truly did not know where the mission item was.
Could it be that she and Piao Yu were just decoys?
Was the real mission item actually being escorted by someone else?
Of course, it's also possible that the mission item was in Piao Yu's possession all along.
Piao Yu claimed it wasn't with her, possibly so Ghost Dao wouldn't then turn to torment Liang Bing.
Because if Ghost Dao confirmed the item was with Piao Yu, he wouldn't continue to torment her.
Instead, he would torture Liang Bing.
As long-time comrades, Ghost Dao was very familiar with their personalities.
They were both willing to sacrifice flesh and blood for each other.
Seeing Liang Bing's unyielding silence, Ghost Dao let out a long sigh.
He clicked his tongue in admiration, "Such a beautiful foot, I really don't have the heart to destroy it...".
Especially since he had always harbored special feelings for Piao Yu.
But to obtain the mission item, he had no choice but to proceed.
The next moment, the Short Blade plunged into the top of Piao Yu's foot.
"Ah!"
Piao Yu twisted in pain, and as her body writhed, the four iron hooks inflicted even more damage upon her.
Yet the hurt caused by the hooks was nothing compared to the pain of the blade stabbing into her foot.
"Ghost Dao, what, what are you trying to do! Let her go!" Liang Bing shouted.
Ghost Dao turned to look at Liang Bing, speaking indifferently, "Nothing much, I just haven't practiced the Bone Stripping Blade Technique for quite some time, and today seems like a good day to do so."
Liang Bing's face turned deathly pale upon hearing this.
Even Piao Yu's expression showed unmistakable fear.
The Bone Stripping Blade Technique was the most brutal method of torture and interrogation used by Ghost Dao.
It involved using Robbery to strip a person's flesh cleanly off their bones.
Once, the Dragon Team captured a foreign spy.
They tried countless methods without success, but once Ghost Dao was involved, it only took an hour before the spy confessed.
Being skinned alive, what kind of agony did that entail?
Additionally, with Robbery's pain amplification effect, it was truly horrifying.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, Robbery actually has another effect—it can stimulate a person's nerves, preventing them from losing consciousness no matter what," Ghost Dao said with a devilish grin.
Ordinary People would fall unconscious after experiencing immense pain.
But Robbery managed to keep its victim fully conscious.
Imagine, watching helplessly as someone strips the flesh off your bones, unable to faint even if you wished, what would that feel like?
It's a dual torment of both the body and the spirit.
That foreign spy indeed had an incredibly high tolerance for pain.
No kind of pain-inflicting torture worked on him.
But when he saw Ghost Dao methodically peeling the flesh from his shin, he finally mentally collapsed and chose to submit.
