?Chapter 853:


    The white-d guard gulped involuntarily. It had been two years since Tonyast conducted an interrogation with her hair tied up, and the memory of the previous subject’s fate lingered. It was a fate worse than any nightmare.


    The white-d guard nodded.


    “Alright, Tonya.”


    Tonya stood casually with her hands in her pockets, leaning against the interrogation table. She half-opened her eyes and asked the ck-d guard, “What happenedst night?”


    The ck-d guard lifted his head and detailed the previous night’s events.


    His tone carried a hint of annoyance when he spoke of Etta’s attempt to bargain.


    Tonya nodded, absentmindedly fiddling with the pen holder on the table. It had been some time since she had been active. She needed to prove to Harlee that she was still as sharp as ever.


    Five minutester, Etta was led in. She looked around at the oppressive setting. Was prison meant to feel this suffocating? But she quickly dismissed the thought as she turned and saw Tonya in the room waiting for her.


    Etta trembled, her steps slowing involuntarily, and just as she halted, the white-d guard hit her. In shock, she turned to the guard.


    “You…”


    “What? Just move. If Tonya gets upset, it’s worse for both of us!” the white-d guard said, dragging Etta forward. The interrogation room was eerily silent, the breathing of the four present the only sound.


    Even Etta, normally so talkative, held her tongue.


    Suddenly, the room’s door mmed shut automatically, causing Etta to jump with fright.


    Fresh content avable now gα?ησv????s


    Her keen eyes caught sight of several small chambers within the room. She looked past Tonya into one.


    From her vantage point, she could see the instruments of torture inside. She was shocked, unable to believe that such ces still existed in the world, where illegitimate interrogation methods were used. Wouldn’t they get caught because of this?


    Etta nced around, thinking she must have been mistaken. She leaned forward for a clearer view, but just then, the door mmed shut.


    Startled by the noise, Etta jumped again, and just as she was about to speak, Tonya interjected, “Etta, are you still nning to remain silent?”


    Etta wanted to retort, but the guards’ words from the previous night suddenly resurfaced in her mind, causing her to lose all her defiance. Shepliantly responded, “I’ll tell you everything. Just spare me this time.”


    Tonya perched on the edge of the table and released a chillingugh at Etta’s deration, thinking to herself how stubborn Etta really was.


    Theughter rang clear, yet to Etta, it sounded like a sinister worm drilling into her brain, causing a buzzing in her head.


    Etta frowned.


    “Tonya, what do you want from me? I’ve already agreed to confess everything. What does yourughter mean?”


    Tonya looked up, and the ck-d guard instantly caught the cue.


    He forcefully pulled Etta into the first small room.
