Blackstone Code

From birth, people have many questions.

Among the many questions, the most classic one is the question "Who am I?"

Finding self-understanding has always been the ultimate goal pursued by philosophers, but in the current scenario, when Kaosikao asked this question, it lost some of the atmosphere of academic discussion, and more of the atmosphere of strictness.

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 is enough for the nature of our work!”

The major officer walked across from him and stood beside his wife.

He pinched Kosikao's wife's chin and raised her head.

He glanced sideways at Kaosikao's wife, and then looked at Kaosikao again, "I don't know who you are. Judging from the evidence we have collected, there is nothing wrong with your resume. The only thing that is questionable is that you are While studying abroad in Sardoras.”

"It's better you keep that question to yourself and answer me instead of asking me."

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

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

The major officer nodded, "It seems that you are unwilling to cooperate. So I'm sorry, Professor Kaosikao. Maybe you will hate me and everything I have done. At the same time, I also hope you can understand me."

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

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

The crowd watching on the roadside quickly dispersed after seeing the homeowner being escorted out.

At the headquarters of the Secret Bureau, Kaosikao met the old cobbler.

The two looked at each other and then looked away. Kaosikao originally thought that the old cobbler had betrayed him, but now it seems that this matter has nothing to do with the old cobbler. There should be a problem with the higher-level lines.

His guess was actually correct, but it was also a little wrong. Since Pengeo's war machine began to operate slowly and gradually accelerated, this country that was proficient in war began to eliminate internal problems based on past experience.

The first is to track down the spies. If any intelligence is to be sent out, there are only two situations.

First, the radio station broadcasts signals to the outside world, so there will be people constantly patrolling every city and even remote places.

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

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

This method... is a bit stupid to be honest, because as soon as war is about to break out, Pengeo and the allies will cut off communication with other countries.

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

But if this information is transferred to other Pengeo allies, the problems encountered are actually similar.

This information may not have the opportunity to go around the world and go where it wants to go.

If you have a boat to sneak across, maybe it's possible?

But this situation only appears in film and television works. The boat is concealed, but it is difficult for the boat to cross the ocean.

There's nothing wrong with big ships, but big ships can't be concealed.

Penteo's navy is no match for Gefra's navy, but they should have no problem dealing with a stowaway ship.

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

One of them couldn't stand the torture and eventually revealed a lot of information, and a thread was completely pulled out.

The Pengeo people have a strong sense of belonging and honor to their country. When the Secret Service asked the young cobbler apprentice if there had been anything unusual recently, and when he said that someone proposed to make crocodile leather shoes, everything was over!

On the night when the examiner came in, he was arraigned.

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

He remembered...the training he had received.

At this point, what supported Kaosikao to persevere was no longer his tolerance for pain, but his mental strength!

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 blurry.

He shouted in pain, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes. He recalled the appearance of these people, and he had not forgotten these people!

The nosebleed was very fast and a lot. He slowly raised his head and looked at the major officer. After the two looked at each other for a moment, the major officer did not continue to beat him, but asked the medics to treat his fractures.

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

The medical staff cut open Kosko's nose without anesthesia, took out the bone fragments inside, and then sewed them together.

The major officer continued to torture him. The red-hot iron made a sizzling sound the moment it came into contact with the flesh. Under the smell of burnt skin and flesh, there was a faint smell of the protein being destroyed by high temperature and burned.

Kaosikao screamed loudly and struggled, but it made no sense!

"This can all be avoided if you speak up..."

He laughed twice, maybe this was his attitude.

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

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

"You don't have to hide anything."

"We have found your contact person. You don't need to worry that your explanation will lead to the arrest of more of your colleagues. 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 cipher text, and all this will be over."

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

"I will even convince your superiors to award you a Special Contribution Medal..."

Just like what the major officer said, in fact, when they found Kaosikao, there were no other intelligence agents on his line who could continue to arrest him.

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

What the Pengeos wanted was a way to write and decipher ciphertext, as well as a way to decipher telegrams.

By mastering these, they can not only more effectively discover some intelligence that may be carried out of the country from some ordinary things, but they can also forge intelligence and send it out themselves!

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

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

Waterboarding is probably one of the most horrific forms of punishment because it exposes people to death over and over again!

Accidental death often occurs during waterboarding, such as physical damage, lack of energy, or having been tortured and waterboarded for a long time, and suddenly unable to breathe.

The role of the medical soldiers is also reflected here. They need to snatch the executed person back from the hands of death when they are not breathing, that is, at the moment of death!

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

He could feel the impact of the falling water on him. It wasn't very strong, but the spreading chill made him take a deep breath.

Water covered his mouth and nose, and he began to try to breathe.

With every breath he took, a lot of water droplets were sucked into his nose, into his mouth, and even into his lungs.

But the air is almost inhalable!

The less fresh air is available, the more fearful people become. Coupled with blocked vision, restricted 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 holding on for more than forty seconds, the veil on his face was suddenly pulled away, and Kosikao panted greedily.

Every breath brings out some whistles!

The major officer looked at him, and he looked at the major officer. Just by making eye contact, the major officer knew that he had not reached his limit yet.

"Add ten seconds..."

The veil was closed again, and the fear spread layer by layer, filling his whole heart!

This time, it was ten seconds longer than before. Feeling like he was on the verge of death, he walked forward for another ten seconds!

Time and time again, even twice, Kao Si Kao really "died" and stopped breathing.

But the medics quickly rescued him and continued to undergo torture!

He was not released from it until the medical team deemed him no longer fit.

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 emotion.

For several days, they did not continue to interrogate Kaosikao. They also knew very well that if they tortured him to death, they would have to find another guy who could write cipher text.

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

A few days later, Kaosikao was taken into the interrogation room again, but this time, in addition to him and the people from the Secret Bureau, there were also his wife and daughter in the interrogation room.
