The huge LCD screen shows the picture of Lin Rui being tortured from several angles. Zhao Jianfei sat on the chair and looked at the screen expressionlessly.

"How's he going?" said Michelle, frowning slightly.

"Nope. Not only did he not recruit him, but he even smoked the air conditioner to play Yelena, who interrogated him. Zhao Jianfei sighed and said, "I knew he was a hard bone, but I didn't expect this guy's bones to be so hard." What about the others?"

"Prisoner of war training, this is the most notorious part of mercenary training. How many people do you expect to survive this torture?" said Michelle lightly, "They have only received six months of basic training, and they have not received a higher level of psychological and torture tolerance training at all. Of the more than 30 people, less than five are still dying. ”

Zhao Jianfei shook his head and said, "You know, I've never liked such tests. ”

"No one will like it. Even a person as tough as Quentin would not like to be beaten and tortured. But this is the rule, and when you step into the threshold of our industry, you have to go through this. Michelle sighed, sat down beside Zhao Jianfei, and said calmly, "How long do you think he can last this test?"

"I don't know, maybe a whole day? or more. Zhao Jianfei shook his head and said. "All I know is that I was trained in anti-torture and I only lasted more than 50 hours. I'd rather die twice than go through that torture again. By the way, you've been tested in such extremes. How long have you held it up?"

Michelle was silent for a moment and said, "Six months." And not the so-called test, but the real prisoners of war. In the water prison, his skin was soaked and ulcerated, he was whipped, electrocuted, and fractured in many places, and there was hardly a single intact skin on his body. But the real torture is hunger. Man is iron, rice is steel, and it is the unchanging truth. Even a man with iron can't stand the hunger. ”

Zhao Jianfei was silent, he looked at this middle-aged man who looked handsome because of plastic surgery, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Michelle is a legend of the contemporary mercenary. But God knows how much he suffered to create the legend of Michelle the Silver Wolf. Zhao Jianfei didn't continue the topic, but turned to the big screen and said, "Who are the remaining people?"

The silver wolf said a few names lightly, and to Zhao Jianfei's surprise, Qin Fen was actually among them. He couldn't help frowning, "Qin Fen, that pig's head actually withstood the torture?"

Michelle said lightly, "This kind of torture tests more than just people's tolerance for extreme pain. There is also the real will, in fact, in the end, the only thing that can make people hold on is the will. Invisible and intangible, but it is enough to support the iron will of the whole world. ”

In the torture room, the hunky Ivan ended a new round of beating of Lin Rui. Lin Rui's face was so swollen that it was miserable, but he still looked calm.

"Who are you, what organization do you belong to, and where are the rest?" asked the blonde again.

Lin Rui frowned and smiled bitterly, "I said it, I'm here to travel." ”

"Traveling to the Caucasus Mountains with automatic weapons?" the blonde sneered, "Are you an idiot, or do you think I'm an idiot? stupid enough to believe you!"

Lin Rui hung his head and didn't speak, and let her say anything more, he didn't move. The big Ivan looked at Lin Rui and frowned, "Yelena, it's useless for you to ask like this, he seems to have fainted." ”

"Give him an adrenaline injection, don't let him die!" the blonde woman shook her head.

Ivan nodded, took out a needle and injected Lin Rui, after it was done, he frowned a little and said, "It seems that it is not possible to use violent means, maybe we can try something else?"

Yelena, a blonde beauty, thought for a moment and said, "Turn on all the lights and don't let him rest." In addition, the air conditioner was turned on sufficiently. I'd like to see how long he can hold on. ”

I don't know how long time has passed, and the temperature in the interrogation room where Lin Rui is located has dropped to the lowest point. Lin Rui, who was only wearing a shirt, was still fixed on the metal seat, and the lights around him made him unable to open his eyes at all, but under such a strong light, he couldn't sleep at all. He couldn't remember when he had slept, and his eyes were bloodshot and bloodshot.

Damn the air conditioner, it was turned on to the maximum and blew at him. The only thing Lin Rui could move was his fingers, and he was constantly making fist movements, hoping that the blood would speed up and bring a little heat to his body. He was not beaten again, but the torture was more unbearable than being beaten.

The door to the interrogation room was opened, and both Yelena and Ivan walked in. This time, Yelena actually wore a heavy military coat and sat in front of Lin Rui expressionlessly. She looked at Lin Rui's eyes full of mockery, "How is it? Are you going to speak? Actually, it's very simple, as long as you say who you are, what organization you belong to, and what is the purpose of this military operation in the mountains? We can not pursue other issues, and cooperate with our military intelligence agency, you only need to face more than ten years in prison at most." ”

Lin Rui raised his head and said, "Can we stop playing?" Pretending to be a Chechen or Russian military intelligence agency is not fun at all. ”

"What do you mean?" Yelena frowned.

"Do you know what your problem is?" Lin Rui said with difficulty, "You guys are too self-righteous. Especially this big guy next to you. Obviously wanted to pretend to be a Russian military intelligence officer, but he was wearing a pair of military boots of the British Royal Air Service Corps on his feet. I can understand how proud this dude is of his old troops, but that's obviously a bit too much. If you really want to show off your identity in this way, you might as well be more representative in your red beret. ”

The big guy Ivan was stunned for a moment, and then looked down at his military boots. The upper of the shoe has the abbreviation of the word SAS. And SAS is the British Special Air Service Regiment, one of the most elite special forces in the world.

Lin Rui said sarcastically, "Although I haven't learned any anti-interrogation skills, I have at least learned weapons and equipment courses." I have studied most of the weapons and equipment in the world. All I can say is that your methods of posing as military intelligence agencies are really clumsy. Not only did his boots reveal the truth, but his Russian was so bad that he couldn't understand me a lot of the time. So I deliberately pretended to faint, only to find out that two people claiming to be Russian military intelligence agencies were actually communicating in English. This is really the most bloody scene. ”

Yelena and Ivan looked at each other, their faces a little unnatural. Their scam was actually discovered by this rookie mercenary, which was really unexpected.

Lin Rui smiled with difficulty, "But don't be sad, man, although you are not a clever liar, at least you are a qualified thug." Especially the punch that hit me in the gastric plexus almost turned my internal organs out. But when I was sick to my stomach, I suddenly realized that the food I had eaten before had not been digested. So judging by the time the food was digested, I wasn't in a coma for a few days at all, as you say. ”

He paused and said, "So I should still be in this military base in the mountains of the Caucasus." You either belong to a militia in Chechnya, or you are mercenaries from Morningstar. It's either a complete hoax or another boring assessment by Morningstar. According to my guess, the latter is the majority. Because Morningstar Military Security Company has always had the practice of hiring retired soldiers. And this first-class thug of the Royal Special Air Service Regiment is not something that the militia can afford. In order to make sure Ivan could understand, he said these words in English.

Ivan looked at Lin Rui coldly and suddenly smiled. He smiled and shook his head, "Yelena, it looks like we're in trouble. This interrogation can't go any further, what do you say?"

The blonde beauty Yelena was silent for a while, glanced at Lin Rui with some resentment, and turned to leave.

The door to the interrogation room opened again, and Shokishi walked in, still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose made him look like a real scholar. He looked at Lin Rui and smiled slightly, "I really didn't expect that we would meet so soon." ”

"I didn't expect that either. Lin Rui said lightly, "You knocked me out?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, but that's part of the mission. "Shogishi said calmly. "It was supposed to be a test of the mercenaries' physical limits and will. However, due to their mistakes, and your cleverness. The test had to end early in such a way. ”

"Now that it's over, can you put me down. Then find me a doctor?" Lin Rui said with a wry smile.

"I'm afraid not, I know, you don't have a good opinion of me. As soon as I let you go, you're going to punch me in the face. Jiang An smiled slightly, "To be honest, do you think so in your heart?"

"Do you have to know me so well?" Lin Rui shook his head.

"It's my job to understand others and estimate threats. Shogishi shrugged.

"I'd love to know, what kind of bullshit test is it that you have to beat me like this?" Lin Rui looked at him and said.

Jiang An said lightly, "This is some kind of emergency assessment." The main thing is to test how reliable you are in the captured state. You should know that many of the things we do will never see the light of day. Many of our customers are also reluctant to see themselves exposed. Therefore, whether a mercenary is reliable and whether he can withstand torture to extract confessions is a very important criterion.

"Looks like I've messed up this assessment. Lin Rui sneered.

"In fact, you're good enough. Not only did you endure the torture for a long time, but you also discovered the flaws of the other party through your own observations. This is enough to prove your calmness and composure. Most people are beaten like that, and few people pay attention to each other's boots. You're an exception. "After I'm gone, they'll take good care of you." By the way, congratulations on getting an unimaginably high score as a rookie student in this comprehensive assessment. ”

"How tall?" Lin Rui said with a wry smile.

"The various numbers I have collected in this assessment are enough to show that you have a chance to become a real elite player. "Shogan said slowly
