The Voyeur

After the two finished dressing, Chizuru did a twirl and spin before landing in a spider lunge. She was impressed by how stretchy the material was. She wasn't sure she could believe that it was as durable as they said so she looked at Shion and asked her to hit her. Shion smiled and gave her a quick hit to the gut. She felt nothing and wasn't thrown back. Chizuru was thoroughly impressed.

Chizuru began dancing around a little bit while Shion just stared at her smiling. "I feel super sexy in this thing too. The way it clings to my body shows off all my curves. Why doesn't the military use this stuff?"

Shion replied with a smirk, "The military refuses to use any kind of nanites. The suit is a woven type of nanite that can adapt and change to the shape of the user. That is the reason they absorb shock too. Anyways, I have another part of the suit." Shion pulled out two kabuki style fox masks from a separate cabinet.

The two put them on and it was like the mask was part of their faces. Chizuru began to panic as she felt the mask adhere to her face on its own, her vision remained unchanged and it felt as though the fox mask had melted onto her face. Shion saw Chizuru begin to claw at the mask and called out to her, "It's the nanites. Don't panic. You can still remove it. Just act like you are grabbing under your chin."

Chizuru followed Shion's instructions and removed the mask. She took a few deep breaths and put the mask back on and was able to stay calm this time. After strapping their weapons on, and loading a couple packs, Shion led Chizuru to the ladder that led to Lavender Books.

Shion climbed up first and Chizuru followed. When they reached the hatch. Shion began to tap in morse code "open the door. It's Shion". Minutes later the hatch was opened from the inside of the bookstore basement. The Librarian had moved from behind his counter and helped Shion and Chizuru up.

Silently he pointed his chin up and raised his eyebrows. Shion beemed him a picture of Dr. Tanaka. He nodded his head quickly while pointing to the red lit hallway. The librarian beemed an announcement "All but those with Doctor Tanaka go to the staff dressing rooms."

Employees in various states of undress began heading towards the staff break room while some clients were directed toward the storefront. Shion and Chizuru headed to the only door that was still closed. After a little knock, the two opened the door to find the Dr. looking up at the mirrored ceiling, tied to a chair with miss bunny pouring molten wax across his bare legs. The man appeared to be gaining some kind of sick satisfaction from watching his own face writhing in pain.

Shion beemed Ms. Bunny, "Sorry Sayaka, but we will be taking over from here. I promise it won't be bad for business. After all, dead men tell no tales."

Sayaka beemed back, "Get rid of this fucking psycho. He put three of my girls in the hospital with his fucking drugs. I'll get rid of his shit just get rid of him."

Ms. Bunny began walking slowly towards the door before laying a hand on Shion's chest and kissing her masked face while running her other hand down her side and grabbing Shion's waist. Before Chizuru even had a chance to get jealous, Ms. Bunny kissed her too before aggressively grabbing her ass and leaving with one final spanking. She winked at the two before locking the door behind her.

Shion straddled the Dr.'s lap and simultaneously beemed Chizuru "Take the pouch off my back and spread the stuff in there out on the table."

Next she beemed the Dr. "Kazuma, Kazuma, Kazuma, I hear you have been a naughty boy."

He vehemently shook his head yes.

Shion continued, "Do you know what happens to naughty little boys like you?"

He shook his head no.

Before Shion continued the loud music that normally made conversation impossible suddenly shut off. Shion leaned in and whispered directly into his ear, "The Devil makes them pay for their sins."

With Shion's signature line the man went pale and started to sweat almost instantly. Especially among high ranking people Shion's interrogations were well known and respected for their brutality and efficacy, so everyone knew her famous catchphrase.

Out loud Shion spoke "You see, we found your little pets in the tunnels, and just so you know we put them down. But I would be lying if I said it didn't piss me off. So just because I don't like you, shall we begin?"

Shion beemed Chizuru, "Give me the extractor device. The thing that looks like salad tongs."

Chizuru handed it to Shion.

Shion responded, "Thank you. Consider this a fitting punishment for the man who likes to watch the misery of others. For this I will take half your sight. Chizuru, hold his head still and make him look up. I want to make sure he sees this."

Chizuru did what Shion asked. She had taken part in these types of interrogations before so she knew what was coming was going to be gruesome. She didn't feel remorseful or sympathetic to the man because judging by his reaction he was in fact responsible for the sewer people, and anyone who got pleasure out of making others suffer deserved that fate themselves.

As Shion came close to Dr. Tanaka's eye with the extractor, Chizuru had to muster a lot of strength to keep the man still and looking up. With one swift squelch and a pop, Shion had expertly removed the eye from its socket, the Dr. screamed and wailed and then abruptly stopped. Shion put the intact eye that was still connected to the nerve on the table. The man's body slumped forward when Chizuru let go of his head. Shion snapped her fingers and got no response.

"Geez," Shion exclaimed, "All I did was just take the eyeball out, I didn't even squash it or anything and this man is already trying to kick the bucket. Pitiful!" Shion picked up the glass of some kind of alcohol with ice cubes in it and dumped it aggressively onto Dr. Tanaka's face which woke him instantly. The man began wailing again and Shion slapped him.

"You shut the hell up and calm down. If you don't, I'll start taking your teeth and nails next. Now that you suffered for your crime, I have something to show you and a lot of questions for you. Chizuru beem this gentleman the photo of him and the other guys and some of the Project Adam pics."

"We've already guessed that one of the men in the photos is you. Which is it?"

Sobbing with snot dripping out of his nose, "Second from the right."

"Great, thank you for your cooperation, now who are the other four men in the photo? I will only ask once and if I have to again, I'll take a molar."

"If I tell you they'll kill me."

"Oh Dr. I think there has been a misunderstanding here. You are already a dead man. But you can choose to die quickly or to suffer for several days. The choice is yours. Now answer the question. If you don't answer in five seconds, I will start pulling." Shion grabbed the pliers on the table and began walking towards Dr. Tanaka. Before she even put the pliers in his mouth Dr. Tanaka started screaming. Chizuru smacked him across the face and he went quiet again.

"Dr. Your five seconds are up. time to pay the price." Shion forced the pliers into his mouth and clamped down on one of his back teeth; she didn't pull it out but cracked it into several pieces instead. The man cried and coughed as blood filled his mouth.

Shion moved on, "Ok, tooth doesn't work? Why don't I start with something a little closer to your heart then. I'll get the clippers. Did you know that some of the worst pain a human can endure is direct stimulation of a nerve? I'm guessing not. Most people don't. Allow me to demonstrate."

Shion took the clippers, opened them, and gently rubbed against the Dr.'s exposed optic nerve. The sound of his screeches were indescribable. After giving him a minute to calm down, Shion continued to question Dr. Tanaka.

"Are you ready to talk now? Who are the men and how are they related to the cult of Nietzsche?"

The Dr. hung his head. "I can tell you this. The man in the middle is Klaus Hofferman, he is the founder of the cult. He was one of the most brilliant genetic engineers of all time but he believed that the use of human DNA alone to advance man was not enough, but that genetic expression was more important, and could be altered by psychological factors. Klaus was killed shortly after the cult began. The other two are Tojo, and Feist chemical engineers. The man on the far left is Kaizen Yamashita, the developer of the neurolink. At first we just wanted to improve genetic expression, but the methods began to grow more and more radical with the start of Project Adam. I just wanted to watch people lose their minds and kill themselves, but the mind control, memory manipulation, and drug-induced psychosis, was all them. Plus they wanted to...." Suddenly Tanaka began seizing and choking, then he went limp.

Chizuru did a quick pulse check, "He's dead."

"They must have got him somehow. Oh well, at least we know where to go next. Feist, that little bastard from the 10th floor has some explaining to do. Let's get going."
