Chapter 69:

I-I'm innocent

So What If I'm a Girl


'Should I silence him?'Her gaze as cold as she thought about what she should do to the young man who was following behind her.

Lan Du walked up to the third floor, she wore the mask and knocked on the door.

The door opened and the man she had searched for walked out

"hm?Who are you"He stared at Lan Du with a confused expression, he also saw a young man behind her who gave him a small wave.

Lan Du didn't say anything, she grabbed him by the throat and pushed him into the room.The young man followed in closely, not minding her actions.

Lan Du smiled coldly behind her mask as she said slowly in cute voice

"I'm here for you life, how would you like to be dissected?Legs first or arms, maybe your eyes and ears, the choice is yours"

The young man's eyes lit up when he heard her

'He's interesting, the organisation would be pleased if I can pull him in'

The man was terrified

"W-what do you want, I-I'll give you anything, money, woman-"He pleaded

Lan Du giggled and her grip intensified

"Ah, don't be so easy, it takes the fun out of it"Lan Du said in an adorable tone

The man felt shivers run down his spine, Lan Du's words sounded so sweet, yet the words itself are scarier than anything he has ever seen.

The young man rubbed his chin as he watched, he nodded his head and was about to leave when Lan Du grabbed him by the collar.Her smile widened as she tossed them both to a corner of the room.She closed the door and curtains before switching on the lights so the room wasn't completely dark.

"Old man, someone paid me to kill you, so make your request, who knows, if I'm happy, I might even let you live with an entire limb still attached"Lan Du said as she sat down on the bed.

She then glanced at the young man

"As for you...you wouldn't leave when I asked you nicely, I'll deal with you later"She took out a small dagger and slid her finger across it.

"P-Please, don't kill me!"The man shouted, he no longer had his arrogance from when Lan Du first met him.She smirked and tapped the blade of the dagger.

"Why should I?Someone like, I heard from my employer, you wanted to marry your daughter off for your own benefit, cheated on your wife, tried to persuade you daughter's boyfriend to treat them harshly, stole from the company you worked for, kept profits to yourself and also threatened the workers that are beneath your status"Lan Du said as she took out some pieces of paper and tossed it at him.

"Everything you have done is written here"She said slowlySweat began to roll down the side of his face

Lan Du laughed

"You better stay sensible fro now on, I'll tell the truth, I never came to kill you, but a threat is only useful when a little...leverage is used"Lan Du chuckled and grabbed the young man who still had his fake smile.

She viciously stomped on the man's legs

"AH!"The man screamed as he held his leg closely, Lan Du smirked beneath her mask and kicked his stomach before leaving.She then turned to the young man who was still smiling.

"You like to smile right?Don't worry, when I'm done with you, you won't stop smiling"Lan Du said gleefully, though the young man didn't know what she was going to do, he had a bad feeling.

Lan Du didn't look back as she pulled the young man out the building with her.

'Next time I see their father...if he still has that pretentious look, I'll need to use those files'

Lan Du then stared at the young man in her hands, he was no longer smiling, rather, he had a vicious glare in his eyes.

"Oh, not gonna keep up that fake smile anymore?"Lan Du said in amusement

The young man smirked

"Lad, you're talented in many ways, if you join me in the organisation, you will receive many benefits"He said in a tempting manner.

His words however never reached Lan Du's ears, she merely pulled him closer and struck the back of his neck.His consciousness faded, but the last thing he saw before his eyes closed was Lan Du's terrifying expression, her gaze was cold but her smile was full of enjoyment and...sadism.

'I...messed up'

An hour later....

'W-Where am I' His eyelids trembled as he slowly opened his eyes, however, when he looked around, he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

"Oh, you're up, you sure took your sweet time, if you hadn't woken up in the next five minutes, I would have ripped off a finger to get you up"

He then heard someone speak, he turned his head and saw Lan Du, she no longer had her mask on, she wore a smile that would scare any average person.

The young man remained calm as he calmed his heart

Just as he was about to say something, he felt his clothes feel strangely tight, he looked down and found himself tied to a large pole.

"w-what, where is this place"

The room they were in was dark with no sunlight from the outside.Only a single lightbulb in teh centre of teh room, lighting up the room.

"Now, who are you and why were you following me"Lan Du asked

The young man smirked

"Did you think I'd say anything just because you tied me up"Lan Du sighed, she took out a pair of scissors and a metal slab.She then began sharpening the scissors on the metal slab as she mumbled.

"Did it really have to come to this?Whatever, just cut off his manhood and sell him to an off planet brothel"

The moment the words left her mouth, the young man camped his legs together like an iron vice in which nothing can escape.

"d-don't think your w-words w-will scare me"He stuttered but kept up a strong front

Lan Du laughed and tossed the scissors aside

"Honestly, looking at your manhood would only hurt my eyes, you're no fun, that reaction was too boring"Lan Du walked towards him and lifted his chin.

"hm, no hidden communication devices, well, let's see if there are any under your skin"Lan Du said in a serious manner as she took out her dual daggers and placed on gently on the surface of his arm.

"Don't worry, my dagger skills are high enough to the point where I'll only remove the skin, it won't damage the muscles beneath"Lan Du said with a sadistic smile as the dagger dug into his arm.

"eep!"He screamed the moment the dagger touched him, Lan Du didn't stop and the blade slowly dig beneath his skin.

She then gently flicked the tip, the skin came off in a small patch when she did so.

"Did you know, if you remove enough of the surface of a human body, when anything touches that part, it will feel as if you're set on fire"Lan Du said with a gentle and sweet smile.

The young man took a deep gulp, though he didn't feel pain, he saw that part of his arm was now red and a small trace of blood

"R-release me"He said indignantly

Lan Du smiled even further as she pressed her finger onto that red spot

"AH!"The moment her finger touched it, it was if if she was burning his arm as the nerves shrieked at the touch.

The immense pain caused tears to roll down his eyes as sweat dampened his shirt.

"S-Stop!"He shouted

Lan Du removed her ginger

"Willing to talk now?"She asked

"I-I will not betray my organisation!"He said was sweating and his face was pale, but his voice seemed strangely calm

"Oh, then that only means that my torture methods are too gentle"Lan Du placed her dagger back into her bag and took out something else.

"Let me ask you...how much would a human need to bleed to die?"Lan Du asked slowly

The young man's weary eyes stared at her

"Around 2 and a half to four I believe"He replied

Lan Du giggled and in her hand was a piece of paper

"How much can a human bleed from a paper cut?"Lan Du then asked


The young man shook his head after a moment of hesitation

"Well, we're about to find out..."Lan Du snickered and walked closer

....

Time passed as if it was slowed for the young man, every second would be like hours of torture as Lan Du sliced his arms with the paper.She was strangely accurate and could leave wounds that would cause a bleeding so small that normal people would ignore.

However, as time passed, they slowly stacked and the pain too, began overlapping one another.He gritted his teeth, not because of the pain, but the unbearable feeling as the blood oozed out slowly.

"How, there should be a few hundred cuts on an arm already, it surprises me how much effort it takes to make these"Lan Du said in fascination as if this was a learning experience.

The young man clicked his tongue

"D-Don't think you'll get anything out of me this way"He said in a resolute manner

Lan Du giggled further

"Well, we'll see how long you can last"She grabbed his left hand and clenched her hands tightly.The force of her grips were strong enough to bend metal, much less his hand.

*Crack"

"Oh, broken already"Lan Du said in amusement as she gripped it even tighter than before.

The young man couldn't contain the pain and let out a painful scream.

"Oh, don't scream so loud, no one will come to help you even if you scream your lungs out"Lan Du said sweetly as she grabbed his other hand.

"Now, let's break the other one, I have OCD so I prefer balancing things, one hand broken and the other one not?That isn't good for me"She said as she clenched his right hand tightly.

The young man now realised now cruel the person he was up against is, he just saw talent in her so he wanted to approach her but never did he think he'd be tortured to this point.

He then saw a gleeful enjoyment in Lan Du's glistening eyes.

'H-He's enjoying this?'

Soon, a feeling he never thought he would experience began to rise...Fear

Lan Du's actions were cruel but bearable for him, however, she was enjoying the process of torturing him completely!If this was the type of person he was dealing with, he would rather die!

But realising it now was too late, he could only slowly accept the torture

"Still not gonna speak?"Lan Du

The young man shook his head but his face has practically lost life.His eyes were dull and he seemed to have given up on resisting.

Lan Du frowned and kicked him in the stomach

"Pwa"

He coughed and his head turned down

"Passed out already?"She walked to the side and grabbed the bucket filled with water, she then walked over as she dumped the water all over the young man.

"Until you spit out everything I want to know, you can forget about fainting"Lan Du said in a sadistic manner, her smile was wide and the young man woke up when the water poured over him.

*Cough* *Cough*

The young man took in a deep breath, the Lan Du in his eyes now was like a true demon, one who won't let go of their prey until they get what they want.

"I have been trained to not say a word, your actions are useless"He coughed and spoke out weakly

However, his words didn't create the effect he wanted, rather, Lan Du was now smirking even more than she was before.His pupils shrunk as Lan Du clenched his throat.

"Alright, since you won't speak, I'm make it so you'll never speak again"She took out a needle and jabbed it into his throat.

"I've studied the human body since I was five, disabling your vocal function is as easier than killing you right now"She said with a smile.

The young man felt the sharp needle poke into his throat, he wanted to shout but realised not a sound was made.His eyes were widened in shock as no sound came out.

"What?You like staying quiet so I gave you the chance for permanent silence, aren't I kind?"Lan Du chuckled and pulled the needle out.

The young man opened his mouth but still, no sound came out.Blood dripped down the side of his throat but he couldn't do anything.Lan Du took out a bandaid and stuck it on the tiny hole she made.

"Can't have you dying out like this, after all, I still haven't had my fun yet"She then took out a phone

"Found this thing in your pocket, it should have some contacts that may be useful"Lan Du smiled and scrolled through the contact list.

On the list, there are 2 contacts.

[Captain]

[Headquarters]

Lan Du lifted her brow

"Oh, you actually have contacts with your headquarters, now that's interesting, but lets see your captain first, I'm sure he's dying to know how you're doing"Lan Du put on her mask and winked at the young man.

The young man shivered

Lan Du clicked the contact and it soon started to ring

[Hm, little three, what's up, did you find a good candidate yet?]

Lan Du glanced at the young man

"Apologies, but it seems little three has met trouble, I'm trying to heal up his injuries, but whoever harmed him is vicious, they even disabled his ability to speak"Lan Du sighed and said bitterly

Little Three's eyes were wide in shock

'Captain, you mustn't believe him!'

Despite how much he wanted to shout out the words, nothin came out

[What, little three is hurt!Where are you?I'll come right away, whoever you are, you better give me an explanation]

Lan Du gasped

"I-I found him in an abandoned warehouse, I work nearby and I raise a cat here so I come here often to feed it when I found this young man tied here, his body is covered in bruises and cuts, I-I'm innocent"Lan DU stuttered and said worringly

The man on the other end calmed down slightly

[Is that so...I'll come over, send me the location]

Lan Du nodded

"Alright, but come quick, he won't hold on for long, I've patched up most the injuries but some are too severe for me"Lan Du said hurriedly

She then heard the sound of running on the other end of the phone

"Alright, I'm coming right away"

Lan Du tapped the phone and sent the phone's location over, she then hung up and turned to the young man

"Lets get you patched up shall we?"She smiled and knocked him out before untying him.

She then used her bandages to wrap up the bruises.She also applied medicine onto the cut wounds and then wrapped it up as well.She then laid him down beside the pole as she took out a water bottle and placed it next to him.

The process took her nearly an hour but after she was done, she smiled and sat down not too far away.
