98 – The Double Take
The veteran’s technique was on a different level.
“I’m not asking you to say anything. It’s foolish to expect a young guy like you to know a lot in the first place. How much do you need to know? What I want is not grandiose, but there are things like that. I want to talk or share. Oh. You must be hungry after being caught. Would you like a bite of this boiled corn (кукуруза)? It looks like it’s having a hard time picking it up and eating it, but I separate the eggs myself and feed it. 』
『We mean it. I know quite a bit about you Things like your name, age, family ties. Oh, no threats. What would you do if we recognized your family? Of course, the anti-terror unit has threatened me with a terrorist family. But don’t worry, we’re not that barbaric. Well, depending on your answer, you could end up falling back to the counterterrorism unit. 』
『You can also do normal torture. For example, comparing the information we get with the information you blow out of your mouth. Things like sticking skewers into your body and being burned with electricity if you think that’s wrong. But if you go on like this, you’ll fall into mannerism. We’re not torture technicians, we’re just people who need information anyway. Uh? Let’s go easy and easy. It wouldn’t be pleasant for you either to sit here and listen to my questions after a few cycles of torture. 』
“All you have to do is answer the simple questions. That’s right, I’ll start with questions that a low-level guy like you can answer. All you have to do is tell me in detail about your daily life from a week ago to today. 』
First of all, I coaxed the guy who looked like a newcomer with fear and appeasement.
『I know guys like you well. Those who are dominated by the desire to rise to the top, who are immersed in the ideas instilled by the group, who have a heavy mouth, and who have accumulated experience in such a subject and can endure it. 』
『Swine pigs like you, no matter how nice and conciliatory you are, will only think of stabbing people in the back. It is a family lie that comes out of their mouths, and they are a people who cannot be appeased with sweet honey and pleasant words! 』
『I will not ask you any questions. Instead, as I said before, I will play with you. First, let me give you a taste of the KGB legacy that your superiors so ignored. 』
『Precious teeth may be pulled out in the process of grinding the face, so please tidy it up with this chisel and needle. 』
The guys who seemed to have had a bit of time were tortured without fail.
『You idiot Slav-Nazi bastard. 』
“I won’t ask you anything. 』
『You won’t change your face like that, and you won’t cut your body like that. 』
“Apart from a slight beating, you will get out safely. 』
“Look carefully and listen. Look closely at how your underlings become idiots because of you! 』
They put a bluff to break the spirit of the Ukrainians who provoked them.
And, as if this terrible trick had worked, answers began to appear.
『Okay, let’s see. You were trying to kill some mafia bastards trying to reach Ukraine? 』
『In the process, you kidnapped some of the businessmen who called your stomach and threatened you? 』
“That was the basic plan, but I tried to have some fun with it. Yes, what can it be 』
“Oh, this is some good information. Tried to sabotage the Russian state-run mana energy lab? 』
And you tried to disguise yourself as a Chinese act? Okay. What kind of equipment are you holding?They said it was all Chinese trash. hahahaha. No matter how much I tried to disguise it, it’s like that, can I just use that trash? The grenade doesn’t explode properly, and the gun gets stuck after a few shots. Isn’t that why he was so easily caught by the counter-terrorist unit? 』
『By the way, how did you get information about the institute? There’s no way trash like you could ever know. Oh Japan? 』
『There are people who praise Hitler in Japan? Didn’t you despise the yellow race, calling them monkeys? 』
『Japan has a history of being recognized as an honorary Aryan by Hitler and forming an alliance and fighting, so you can admit it? hahahaha! 』
But the answer ends there.
I didn’t think to come out about witchcraft. I don’t know if it was a curse that would kill me if I confessed it, or if I was being used unknowingly, but the letter ‘master’ of the witchcraft didn’t come out either.
Even if you torture and coax them again because you don’t know, the answer that always comes out is ‘I don’t know’.
After thinking for a while, the middle-aged man decided to use the time-honored method that had been used since the KGB.
The magical method that some call fabrication and the KGB called creation.
* * *
Viktor heard the recorded sound coming through the receiver.
” Ugh… Ugh… Our Azov battalion… Working with a group of honorary Aryans in Japan…』
『Sabotage the Russian state-run Mana Energy Research Institute… Acquire data…』
” Japan… With the help of a shaman… Use human sacrifice to activate magic…』
『I tried to commit a terrorist act…』
The voice that groaned and spoke was weak and small, but it was no problem for Viktor, who was a strong warrior, to hear.
[ How is it. Is it what you want? ]
“Yes. Thank you.”
[If you’re grateful, give me some of your own alcohol. ]
“Yes, I got some good quality vodka the other day, I’ll send it to my subordinates.”
hehehe, yes. Don’t send a small one, send a box of hot. ]
“Okay.”
After the call, Viktor tapped his desk and thought.
‘Japan, Japan.’
Japan.
A country full of warriors and shamans.
‘There were many high-level military personnel in Japan.’
It wouldn’t have been difficult to block or avoid Viktor’s attack if it was a famous soldier.
In the first place, the attack Viktor fired was not an attack against unmanned people, but a ranged attack to deal with shamans or wizards.
‘It’s a Japanazi thing. It seems to fit, but…’
After thinking for a while, Viktor came to a conclusion.
‘We’re not on good terms because of Sakhalin, so a warning would be fine.’
It’s not a friendly country, it’s a country where friction always arises because of territorial disputes.
In addition, when Russia was in trouble, they were the first ones to escape rather than help, and these days, their noses have risen, and it was very annoying to try to see their liver.
“I’ll have to get the words out first.”

The world was rapidly moving to the right.
From noble mtl dot com
NationalismThe colors of the righteous are getting stronger, the number of people who yearn for the ‘Glorious Age’ of the past and want to return to that time is increasing, and there are overflowing people who want to show off their strength by expressing force.
China shouted that it should lead the world order by demonstrating the power of China everywhere, and the United States increased defense spending, saying that the United States should continue to play a role in coordinating the world as it did in the past, and European countries reduced their investment in NATO forces. Money was poured into self-reliant national defense. Britain, in particular, was pouring money into its navy and air force, as if to bring back the glory of Rule Britannia.
And so is Japan.
The economic recession that came after the bubble economy.
Usually the leadership who wants nationalization.
People are increasingly dissatisfied with the rising taxes and economic recession.
Powerful people who have been given strong powers in a blessed environment.
All of this was pushing Japan to the right.
Originally, when life becomes difficult, nationalism becomes stronger and radical claims gain strength.
And once it starts gaining strength, those who raise their voices jump on the bandwagon and become mainstream opinions. And when it becomes mainstream opinion, it becomes the opinion that dominates the whole.
A return to a great empire.
A return to the Taisho period, which was the most splendid and romantic.
A reenactment of the golden age when the divided Japanese united as one and accomplished miracles.
Japan’s right wing shouted that the forces accelerating the right shift should return to the brilliant era.
Their purposes were different.
Those in power wanted more power and prestige.
Like the ancestors who led the imperial era, I wanted to leave my name in the history books and be recorded as a great man who revived Japan, which was now in decline. And in the process, he wanted to live like an aristocrat by gaining wealth and power.
Wealthy people wanted more money.
I wanted riches beyond imagination, like my ancestors, who bathed in gold, had maids and attendants, and lived in mansions so huge that they could not walk around even if they spent a whole day. I wanted to be able to live a dream-like life again, where everything can be achieved with a single word, where delicacies from the mountains and seas come up every day, and when I live with other peerless beauties every day.
People wanted their lives to be better.
Increasing taxes and harsh environment to live in.
After paying the rent in a small, poorly soundproofed room, there was nothing left over, and when payday approached, I had no money, so I bought a 60 yen nametake and wanted to get out of the habit of eating.
Those with power wanted to show their strength.
Like the great warriors of the past, he wanted to show off his strength, and he wanted to raise the name of his family and school by establishing martial arts.
Perhaps this is a very natural phenomenon, triggered by instincts when survival is threatened.
Originally, living things express their desires when their lives are threatened.
Craving.
I want to live richly.
I want to live with pretty and handsome people.
I want to eat something more delicious.
A very natural desire of human nature.
Perhaps saying that it is turning right may be the same as saying that such a desire is getting stronger.
Then, it would be natural for those who want desire to be dominated by desire.
“Shinjunim, Shinjunim…”
Reese prayed.
“I’m taking good care of you, as you commanded….”
There was a slime in front of Rise who was praying with her hands together reverently. As if the slime was doing well for Lyse who was praying, he gurgled his divine power.
Behind Rise, her fox’s tail swayed slightly, and Narumi, dressed in the kind of clothes her lady-in-waiting would wear, was grooming the tail with a fine comb.
“Please come back and make me happy.”
