Chapter 267: Interrogation 101 (3)
Vex hung from the prison cell wall, her muscular arms and legs restrained by a dozen impossibly thick chains, each seemingly forged to hold a young troll in place. But even these formidable restraints weren’t enough to break her.
The chains had been enchanted to draw any heat her body generated to ensure her body was numb. This ensured that she didn’t make any sudden movements, and the coldness of the room kept her in check.
But even all that wasn’t enough. Vex was even gagged with a bloody cloth stuffed into her mouth. Even her eyes had been covered, so she didn’t know who was responsible for her relentless pain and suffering.
Her open wounds and torn clothes were the proof of DRA’s brutality. They were hell-bent on breaking her for answers and pulled all the stops to make that happen.
Despite using every method of torture the DRA could think of, Vex remained silent. Thankfully, the people seemed to have understood they wouldn’t be able to make her speak and left her alone.
Although Vex didn’t give in, she was still affected by all the torture. Her body ached all over. Every muscle in her body screamed in agony. Moreover, she hadn’t had water or food in over a day. As such, her throat was parched, but there was nothing she could do to ease the pain.
Suddenly, she heard another pair of footsteps approaching the cell. The door creaked open, and a guard stepped inside. She knew it was a guard because of the thudding sound that his heavy boots made on the stone floor.
"Still not talking, huh?" the guard sneered, pulling the gag out of her mouth. "You think you can hold out forever? We’ll see about that."
The man grabbed a bucket of water and threw it over her, the icy liquid shocking her already cold and battered body. She gasped for air and opened her mouth, hoping some water would drop into it.
