Chapter 21 - Collapse, Pain, and Coma
"Go out and guard outside. No one is allowed to come in without my order."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
The Third Hokage didn't want anyone else to know about the Spirit Transformation Technique, not even his direct Anbu.
After the two Anbu left, the Sandai came to the bed and finally opened the "first aid kit".
Li Yao turned his head and saw part of the things in the box. His eyes instantly became bloodshot and an unprecedented fear enveloped his whole body.
"You know what? Ninjas have a lot of endurance."
"If this were your original body, these little things would be nothing more than a tickle to you, not worth mentioning."
As the Third Generation spoke, he picked up a thin needle, glanced at the trembling Li Yao, and then smiled: "Fortunately, you just took over this body. This body has not been through battle and has a low tolerance for pain. You will definitely feel extreme pain."
"No…no no…don't."
Li Yao subconsciously clenched his fists, shaking his head tremblingly while trying to dodge backwards. His bloodshot eyes were wide open as he stared in horror at the needle growing on the hand of the Third Generation.
Although the third generation hadn't made a move yet, Li Yao's mind couldn't help but imagine all the possible ways the long needle could be used.
He felt his nails stinging him.
"Hokage-sama, I will tell you everything. Please don't torture me. I really will tell you everything."
"Please, please..."
Li Yao was like a lamb to be slaughtered. He looked at the Third Generation with terrified and pleading eyes, and instinctively begged the Third Generation to let him go over and over again.
"Very realistic acting!"
"But it's no use."
Although the third generation could not sense any element of acting from Li Yao at this time, that kind of physical instinctive reaction was difficult to act out.
But it was impossible to make him believe Li Yao's words.
In this world where all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques are rampant, there is a kind of memory-sealing ninjutsu that can hide a spy perfectly. The spy himself does not even know that he is a spy, and naturally there is no trace of performance.
Who knows if Li Yao in front of him has also sealed the relevant memories, causing him to always insist that he is just a civilian, not a ninja?
If this is the case, no one can remove the seal on Li Yao's memory when chakra cannot invade Li Yao's chakra.
The third generation could only torture Li Yao painfully, so that Li Yao would break through the memory seal in his mind under the instinct of survival, and then he would perform the memory exploration technique.
This was a common method used by the ninja world to remove memory seals before the ninjutsu of invading and unlocking memories was developed.
It is a proven method that works, so the relevant torture tools are kept in the Anbu.
"I didn't act, I really didn't act!" Li Yao was crying loudly at this moment. He really didn't act.
The third generation didn't feel anything, and said with a double meaning, "Only real pain can make you remember everything."
The third generation easily pried open Li Yao's clenched fist, held his thumb, and gently touched Li Yao's thumb with a long, pointed needle in his right hand.
Li Yao's whole body trembled even more violently in an instant, and the bed made a shaking sound like the sound of a high-speed machine gun firing.
His left arm was shaking the most, but his thumb was so steady under the grip of the Third Generation that it didn't seem like his hand, yet his senses were the most sensitive.
"I...you...spicy...pen, I'm telling you it's true, don't you understand?!"
"Wo... Nima, you Sarutobi monkey, buy yourself a bag of shit."
Seeing that the Third Generation had no intention of letting him go, Li Yao finally lost his temper.
He cursed three generations of people in Mandarin. He had no scruples anymore and just wanted to vent the fear in his heart.
Perhaps it was Li Yao's sudden outburst and the incomprehensible Mandarin that made the third generation a little confused for a moment. He paused, then looked at Li Yao with a frown. He had no idea what this person was saying.
However, from Li Yao's facial expression and hateful eyes, the third generation knew that the words he couldn't understand were definitely not good words.
The third generation smiled and didn't care. It was good that the defense was broken. It was necessary to have this kind of collapse so that the body and mind's self-survival instinct could break through the memory seal in the mind.
"Feel this extreme pain!"
The third-generation needle slowly inserted into the gap between Li Yao's thumb.
"hiss..."
Li Yao, who was cursing wildly, suddenly shut up. An unimaginable pain surged from a small point between his fingernails to his whole body in an instant.
Li Yao took a deep breath and his whole body stopped shaking violently due to the intense pain at this moment.
At this moment, the intense pain overwhelmed the psychological and physical fear.
After just a moment.
"ah!"
The miserable screams echoed throughout the entire interrogation room. The Explosion Squad standing guard outside the door could not help but tremble all over when they heard the screams that seemed to pierce their hearts. Even though they had a strong tolerance for pain and could even gouge out their eyes without changing their expressions, they could not help but tremble all over.
In the interrogation room, the third generation did not stop. He held the long, sharp needle and slowly and forcefully inserted it deep into Li Yao's fingernails.
At this moment, Li Yao's body seemed to have just recovered from the severe pain.
He shook with greater and wilder motions than before.
He bounced up and down, twisted left and right wildly, and screamed in pain.
He was tied tightly to the bed with bandages, twisting his body wildly like a fish suffocating on the shore, but there was no sign of relief.
At this moment, Li Yao's mind was completely blank due to the pain. There was only pain and no other thoughts.
For Li Yao, who screams in pain every time he gets an injection, he is very sensitive to pain from a psychological perspective.
If the pain level of a long needle inserted between the fingernails is one for other people, then the pain level that Li Yao can feel now is ten.
If we add to this the psychological effect that Li Yao himself is very sensitive to pain.
The pain level he felt at this moment was fifteen.
While an adult would be in so much pain that tears and snot would run down their cheeks and veins would pop out all over their body, the pain Li Yao felt was fifteen times greater.
Li Yao was in so much pain that he had completely lost the ability to think.
On the bed, Li Yao's body was now covered with bulging veins like a centenarian.
This shows how much pain he was in at that moment.
In the end, before the third generation could completely penetrate Li Yao's thumb with the long needle, Li Yao fainted from the pain.
Li Yao fell unconscious, and without pulling out the three-generation long needle, he immediately formed seals with his hands.
"Illusion, the art of darkness."
The familiar routine was performed again, and the illusion chakra of the Darkness Technique quickly penetrated into Li Yao's body.
After a few seconds, the third generation frowned and put down his hand.
"Still not working?"
As expected, even though he passed out from the pain, his consciousness was still tightly integrated with the chakra inside Li Yao's body. The third generation illusion chakra was instinctively rejected by Li Yao's consciousness, and the illusion was not successfully performed.
"This man has a strong spiritual will!"
The third generation came to a conclusion instantly, then he pulled out the long needle from the crack of Li Yao's thumb, wiped the remaining blood on it with a cloth, and put it back into the first aid kit.
After taking a look at Li Yao, whose veins remained visible even after he was unconscious, the third generation turned and walked out of the interrogation room without torturing Li Yao any further.
Li Yao had been hungry for a day and a night. Once the pain level was too high, his body would produce a protective mechanism and fall into a coma, which was in conflict with the purpose of the third generation's torture.
Moreover, the third generation was also afraid that if the torture was too severe, Li Yao would not be able to bear the pain and die directly, and then it would be too late for him to regret.
Come back tomorrow night.
After leaving the interrogation room, the third generation ordered the Explosion Team to take good care of Li Yao, provide him with enough food and drink, and make sure that Li Yao would be alive and well tomorrow night.
Only Li Yao, who is healthy and strong, can feel the pain most clearly and break through the memory seal in his mind on this basis.
It would take three generations to obtain the perfect spiritualization technique he wanted.
