Lěng Yè listened to Mǐnběn Jié's explanation, his brows knitted tightly, and his heart filled with doubt and unease. He slowly said, "Things are actually this complicated—there are traitors selling out their loyalty for glory, and deeply hidden undercover agents as well."
Lěng Yè paused for a moment, then asked, "Then, how do you treat these imprisoned people?"
Mǐnběn Jié smiled slightly, his tone carrying a trace of cruelty: "If Mr. Lěng Yè is interested, we can arrange for someone to give a live demonstration. Quite a few people find this sort of thing rather interesting; after all, watching others suffer is quite a stimulating experience. As for the methods, they are varied indeed—for instance, cutting small slits in the skin and stuffing them with flesh-eating worms, or using red-hot branding irons to leave an eternal mark on the face... and there are many more, too numerous to list one by one."
