From birth, people have many questions.

Among the many questions, the most classic one is the question of "who am I".

Finding self-awareness has always been the ultimate goal pursued by philosophers, but in the current situation, when Kausikao asks this question, it lacks the atmosphere of academic discussion, and instead has a more serious flavor.

The major officer looked at him, "You are a professor at the university, you should understand the laws of the empire better than others."

"Sometimes just having doubts about the nature of our work is enough!"

The major came across from him and stood beside his wife.

He pinched Kosko's wife's jaw and lifted her head.

He squinted at Kausikao's wife, and then turned his gaze back to Kausikao, "I don't know who you are. From the evidence we have collected, there is nothing wrong with your resume. The only doubtful thing is that you While Sedoras was studying abroad."

"You'd better keep that question to yourself, and answer me instead of asking me."

"At least in this way, you and your family can retain the most basic decency."

After a long silence, Kaosikao pushed his glasses, "I am not anyone, I am Kaosikao."

The major officer nodded, "It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate, so I'm sorry, Professor Kausikao, maybe you will hate me and everything I have done in the future, and I hope you can understand me."

"Because everything I do is for His Majesty the Emperor, for the Empire!"

The major officer took a deep breath and looked at the others, "Take them all away, seal up the house, and search every inch of this place!"

The crowd of onlookers on the side of the road dispersed quickly after seeing the homeowner being escorted out.

At the headquarters of the Bureau of Secrets, Kausikao met the old cobbler.

The two looked at each other, and then looked away. Kausko thought that the old cobbler had betrayed him, but now it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the old cobbler, it should be a problem with the upper line.

His guess was not wrong, but it was also a little wrong. Ever since Penteio's war machine began to run slowly and then gradually accelerated, this country that is proficient in war began to clean up internal problems based on past experience.

The first is to check out the spies. Any intelligence that wants to be sent out is nothing more than two situations.

First, radio stations broadcast signals to the outside world, so every city and even remote places will be constantly inspected by people.

Once they find that an unofficial telegram is working, they will search the source of the telegram, and then arrest or kill it.

The second situation is to send information out of the country through entrainment and other methods.

This approach is... a bit stupid to be honest, because once the war is ready to break out, Penteo and the allies will cut off communication with other countries.

Even if it is not cut off, those who try to go to the territory of hostile forces will be highly monitored.

But if the information is forwarded to other Penteio allies, the problems encountered are actually similar.

This intelligence may not have the opportunity to go around the world and go where it is going.

If you have a boat to smuggle people, maybe there is a little possibility?

But this kind of situation will only appear in film and television works. Small boats are concealed, but it is difficult for small boats to cross the ocean.

There is no problem with big ships, but big ships cannot be concealed.

Penteo's navy is no match for Gefra's navy, but they shouldn't have a problem dealing with a stowaway.

The problem this time was the last link. They wanted to send out the information, but they failed and exposed two agents.

One of them couldn't stand the torture to extract a confession, and finally revealed a lot of information, so a thread was completely pulled out.

People in Penteo have a strong sense of belonging and honor to the country. When the Bureau of Secrets asked the young leather craftsman apprentice if there was anything unusual recently, and when he said that someone proposed to make crocodile leather shoes, everything was over!

He was interrogated the night Kausikao came in.

When the major officer's fist severely broke the bridge of his nose, some old memories of the blockade began to emerge.

He remembered... all the training he'd had.

At this point, what supports Kausikao to persevere is not the tolerance of pain, but the strength of spirit!

Those who had been blurred in his memory, his parents, his brothers and sisters, his mentor, all the people he knew, at this moment, their appearance became clear and no longer blurred.

He yelled in pain, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He recalled the appearance of these people, and he did not forget them!

Nosebleeds flowed quickly and profusely. He slowly raised his head and looked at the major officer. After the two looked at each other for a while, the major officer did not continue to beat him, but asked the medical soldiers to treat his fracture.

Nasal bone fractures are actually very dangerous. Ordinary fractures are slightly better. If it is a comminuted fracture caused by a heavy external force, bone fragments may be embedded in subsequent blows or affect the brain tissue, causing irreparable injuries.

The medical department did not give Kosko anesthesia, cut his nose, took out the bone fragments inside, and then sewed it up.

The major officer continued to torture him. The moment the red-hot iron touched the flesh, there was a sizzling sound. Under the smell of burnt flesh, there was a faint stench of egg whites destroyed by high temperature.

Kausikao screamed and struggled loudly, it didn't make any sense!

"If you said it, these could all be avoided..."

He laughed twice, maybe this was his attitude.

What followed was even more horrific torture. They also gave Kausko electric shocks. The terrible pain and uncontrollable shaking of his body made him unable to even cry out!

For him at this moment, it was like he was in hell!

"You don't have to hide anything."

"Your contact person has been found out by us, you don't need to worry about your confession will bring more of your colleagues into the net, you just need to tell us what information you want to send out, and..."

The major licked his lips, "...the method of writing and deciphering the ciphertext, all this will be over."

"You are still from Pengjieao, living a happy life with your wife and daughter, no one will know what you have done!"

"I'll even convince my superiors to award you a special service medal..."

As the major officer said, in fact, when they caught Kausikao, there were no other intelligence personnel on his line who could continue to arrest him.

At least from the information they have received so far, this kind of deep-diving intelligence personnel often have a single-line connection from the bottom to the top, just to avoid unnecessary losses.

What the Penteos wanted was a way of writing and deciphering ciphertext, and a deciphering code for telegrams.

After mastering this, they can not only more effectively find out some information carried out of the country from some things that may be very common, but also can forge information and send it out!

Once the war starts, every minute and every second needs to be fought for!

Kausikao remained silent, and after a lot of trouble, they waterboarded him.

Waterboarding has the potential to be one of the scariest forms of punishment because it brings death into contact over and over again!

In the process of waterboarding, accidental death often occurs, such as physical damage, or lack of energy, or after long-term torture and waterboarding, there are many cases where people suddenly lose their breath.

The role of the medical soldiers is also reflected here. They need to **** them back from the hands of the **** of death when the executed are not breathing, that is, they have just died!

Kosko was lying on the platform, with pure cotton veils covering his face layer by layer, and the gurgling water from the kettle fell on his forehead.

He could feel the impact of the falling water on himself, it wasn't very strong, but the ever-spreading coolness made him take a deep breath.

Water covered his nose and mouth, and he tried to breathe.

With every breath, many drops of water would be sucked into his nasal cavity, mouth, and even his lungs.

But the air can hardly absorb anything!

The less fresh air you can get, the more panic you will feel. Coupled with blocked vision, limited body, and weakened perception of the outside world to the limit, fear will be magnified layer by layer in people's hearts.

He panted heavily but still got nothing. After persisting for more than forty seconds, the veil on his face was taken off at once, and Kosko panted greedily.

With every breath, a few whistles can be brought out!

The major officer looked at him, and he looked at the major officer, just eye contact, and the major officer knew that he hadn't reached his limit yet.

"Add ten seconds..."

The veil was covered again, and that fear spread layer by layer, covering his whole heart!

This time, it was ten seconds longer than before, and he walked forward another ten seconds in the feeling of dying!

Again and again ~lightnovelpub.net~ There were even two times when Kausikao really "died", he just couldn't breathe.

But the medical soldiers quickly rescued him and continued to be tortured!

He was not released from it until the medical class decided that his condition was no longer suitable.

When he entered the interrogation room, he walked in by himself.

When he came out, he came out in a wheelchair.

As he passed through the cells in the prison area, pairs of numb eyes stared at him, without any emotional fluctuations.

For several days in a row, they did not continue to interrogate Kausikao, and they knew very well that if they tortured him to death, they would have to find another guy who could write ciphertext.

The daily meals are good, fresh veal steaks, fresh vegetables, and even wine.

A few days later, Kausikao was brought into the interrogation room again, but this time, besides him and the people from the Secret Service, there were also his wife and daughter in the interrogation room.
