Chapter 471 Taste
Did you do it on purpose, or accidentally, or did it on purpose but accidentally?

Li Sheng's eyelids twitched. Too lazy to care whether Joker was settling a personal score, he grabbed the young man's blond hair and asked, "Are you a VIP or SVIP? Where is Epstein? How many armed forces are on the island? What's this so-called big day?"

"I'm a VIP. Epstein should be in the forest on the north side of the island. I don't know about the armed forces, but there are definitely private military companies involved."

The blond youth, whose gag had been removed, hesitated before answering the last question, and said with difficulty, "Even if I answer, you will still kill me in the end, right?"

Hey, this kid's not stupid.

The three players exchanged glances, and Joker immediately pressed the electric shock button, causing the blond youth to scream and roll on the ground, but he endured it without saying a word.

"Do you have any bottled water here?" Joker scratched his head. "Let's just use waterboarding."

"May not be useful,"

Li Sheng shook his head. "This guy has a lot of experience with sadomasochism and being sadistic. He's done the suffocation play countless times. We don't have much time."

"Shall we use this?" The Oracle raised the rusty scalpel. This item was originally named [Skin Carcass Scalpel], of perfect quality. After being weakened by the system, it became [Playing House Series: Little Doctor's Scalpel].

"No need, spiritual energy is worth saving."

Li Sheng cracked his knuckles. "Let's stick to the old KGB methods."

After saying that, he removed the camera from the tripod, and inadvertently glanced at the large number of photos and videos of torture and even murder stored in the camera's DCIM folder. He raised an eyebrow.
He didn't say anything, but simply unplugged the camera with the step-down transformer, peeled off the rubber insulation of the wire, and inserted the wire directly into the blond youth's genitals.

Intelligence agencies around the world employ a wide variety of interrogation methods, including physical torture, psychological pressure, drug-induced hypnosis, and manipulation.

In the early 2000s, the CIA hired two former Air Force psychologists with no practical experience to develop a process called EIT (Enhanced Interrogation Technique).

Institutionalize methods including beatings, sleep deprivation, simulated waterboarding, and confinement, and apply them to terrorists.

However, after many years of use, retrospective analysis proved that these methods were no more efficient than bribery and persuasion, and that obtaining evidence was more difficult. They were simply torture for the sake of torture, and there was also the risk of violating the law.

In order to avoid being arrested and imprisoned, the CIA and the US military have been trying to cover up the truth and prove that EIT technology is effective.

In contrast, the KGB's decades-old techniques are much simpler and more practical, emphasizing the suddenness of physical torture in an attempt to break through psychological defenses as quickly as possible.

It's sizzling!

The electric shocks in front were far more terrifying than those behind; the blond youth instantly lost consciousness.

Li Sheng gave him no time to breathe, took a rusty knife from the oracle, cut off the blond youth's left eyelid and right ear, stuffed the eyelids and ears into the youth's mouth as he woke up in pain, and forced him to chew and swallow them.

His psychological defenses crumbled instantly, and the blond youth fell into a complete daze. Even without the gag, he lost the ability to shout for help. He answered whatever was asked.

When the blond youth arrived on the island by yacht, he saw a group of SVIPs and VIPs dressed in black robes walking into the forest on the north side of the island with Epstein.

The group of people wore Satanic skull masks on their faces.

In the 1960s, American writer Anton Ravi founded the Church of Satan in San Francisco. It opposed traditional Christian doctrines, promoted materialism and worldly desires, and attracted a large number of people from the arts and literature circles.

One of the most famous is the Spanish artist Salvador Dalí (the one with the two upward-sweeping mustache), who created the artwork "The Silence of the Lambs"—a skull pattern composed of seven women, which was also used in the poster for the movie of the same name.

Satanism itself was not a tightly organized group; after Anton Ravi's death in 97, it split into several factions. Some of these factions began to worship the evil god Moro and practiced human sacrifice.

Those black-robed SVIPs probably went to the forest with Epstein to worship an evil god.

"You people, once you've become rich enough, ordinary sensory stimulation isn't enough for you anymore, so you have to come up with these inhumane things, right?"

Lee Sung sighed. He had previously completed a deathmatch mission called "Baekje Black Heaven" and killed many South Korean cult members.

The problem is that South Korea can at least be explained by poor governance and the entanglement of politics and religion. Unlike the United States, which is rotten from the top down, bound by inhumane practices and glorifying decadence and debauchery.

Skulls piled high, bones piled like a forest. The entire Lion Camel Ridge was a cannibalistic place.

"What do we do now?" Joker put down the blond youth, who looked like a mangled corpse. "Should I go with you?"

“No,” the oracle shook his head. “The scalpel can only maintain one body at a time. There are too many surveillance cameras on the island; it will be detected.”

"You stay here for now. We'll go to the underground auction house to find the player you met. There's less than half an hour until the mission starts, so we should still have time."

Li Sheng slipped into the security guard's bodysuit and casually tossed the walkie-talkie to Joker, saying, "Contact via walkie-talkie."

He and the Oracle boarded the Security Guard spaceship again. As soon as they stepped out of the villa, a bodyguard stopped them and asked suspiciously, "Wait, why did you linger upstairs for so long?"

The oracle remained calm and composed. "Mr. Walter invited me to play a game with him. Is there a problem?"

"you?"

The four bodyguards were all stunned. The blond youth, Walter, was a complete scoundrel, but his aesthetic sense was still relatively normal.

The security guard, Bob, was burly and overweight, with a full head of fat and even a thick beard. He didn't fit Walter's taste at all.

"After eating too much delicacies, it's inevitable to crave something from a roadside stall."

The oracle shrugged and said, "Besides, fashion sense is cyclical. Maybe my looks will be fashionable in a few years?"

this.
The four bodyguards exchanged glances, unable to find any reason to refute them—they had indeed seen many wealthy people with eccentricities, such as those with hundreds of millions in assets who liked to steal from supermarkets, or those whose wives were as beautiful as angels who liked to seduce Filipino maids with thick waists.

You get numb to it after seeing it so many times.

"Oh, yes."

The oracle turned and reminded them, "Mr. Walter is in high spirits right now. Let me tell you, for whatever reason, do not disturb him for the next eight hours."

After giving their instructions, the two players stepped onto the tree-lined path and quickly ran towards the west side of the island.

Just then, a system notification sounded.

[A VIP has died; the current player's ability unlock progress has increased by 2%]

Ok?
The Oracle frowned. "Have the other players on the island started making their move? No, it was Joker who killed Welt."

Upon completion of the first-stage mission objective, "Escape from the SVIP Cell," the system reward will be increased by 10% based on the current ability unlock progress.

For players, this translates to a slight increase in their maximum spiritual power.

Considering that Li Sheng and the Oracle spawn at different points than the Joker, the players' ability unlocking progress is separate.

The reward for killing Walter was divided into three parts and distributed among Li Sheng and the other two.

The good news is that weakened versions of item skills such as the [Batwing Heavy Armor Motorcycle] and [Riding the Tide and Surging Waves] have been unlocked, and the [3D Warehouse] has also had its storage space increased.

The bad news is
"Hello? Can you hear me?"

Joker's voice came through the walkie-talkie, "I'm on the roof now. It seems like someone over at the gazebo has already discovered your escape."

In the pavilion, in the underground prison, a supervisor looked at the empty SVIP cell and roared at his subordinates with a livid face: "Are you saying that Bob suddenly had a change of heart and ran away with two SVIP slaves?"

"That must be it." The security captain, sweating profusely and unsure how to explain, quickly added, "The island's docks are still under our control; he can't escape this island. I suggest sounding the air raid sirens and conducting a full-scale island-wide search."

"Idiot, tonight is a big night. If you make a scene and disturb the SVIPs, are you going to take responsibility?"

The supervisor reprimanded him sternly, took a deep breath, picked up the walkie-talkie, and said, "Connect me to yacht number 003. Yes, bring over Dr. Henry Lee, the criminal investigation expert on the yacht."

A mouse escaped.
