1497 Ask What He Knows

The prison was still extremely quiet. Apart from the breath that sounded after more than a minute, no other sound could be heard.

This claustrophobic environment would undoubtedly cause extremely powerful mental torture to people. If anyone with a slightly weaker mind was here, they would feel like they were going crazy in less than a day. In less than three days, their mind might be on the verge of collapse.

According to the latest research report of the Milky Way, anyone, even the martial artist with the strongest mind, would be forcefully imprisoned in such an environment for more than ten days and their mental state would be the most completely damaged. It was basically impossible for them to return to normal in the future.

Chu Nan had been locked here for seven days.

However, on the surface, he did not change from the first day he was locked in. His expression was still calm, and there was no panic in his eyes. Even his clothes were meticulous, and his hair was not disheveled at all. His entire body was still neat and tidy. Even all the facilities in the room were arranged neatly, and the bedding on the bed was very clean and flat. There was no mess.

From this perspective, he did not seem to be affected by being imprisoned at all. His life every day was also very stable and regular. Apart from eating and excreting normally, he would also choose a fixed time to shower every day and spend a certain amount of time washing himself clean from head to toe.

Although this prison was closed and tight, the facilities inside were not bad. There was everything to eat and wear, but there was nothing to entertain.

In a room outside the prison, a huge virtual screen was displaying the image in the prison. On the screen, Chu Nan was taking a shower. It was as if he did not know that his every move was being closely monitored. Even if there was no cover in the prison, he was still bathing very calmly and did not look embarrassed at all.

“How many days do you think… he can last like this?” In the room, an old man in the traditional clothes of the Declan royal family suddenly asked.

The others in the room looked at each other. An old man with a long face and sparse hair who looked to be more than 70 shook his head and replied, “I can’t observe him for the time being. From the monitoring situation these few days, he doesn’t show any signs of being claustrophobic. All his actions are normal, so I can’t determine how long he can last for now.”

“Heh, Professor Fenebach, what’s there to not see?” Another chubby middle-aged man with an oily face who looked to be in his fifties pushed the decorative glasses on the bridge of his nose and his tone was filled with mockery, “Although this guy still seems to be normal, I’m certain that his current mental state is actually on the verge of collapse.”

If anyone familiar with the psychological specialization of the Declan Empire were here, they would definitely be shocked.

This was because Professor Fenebach who had spoken previously was the most famous psychological master in the current Declan Empire. Not only would the Declan Empire, but even the professional psychology departments of many countries in the Milky Way would record the psychological textbooks he had compiled.

The fatty who mocked him was not simple either. He was the new generation of psychological masters who had risen to fame in the Declan Empire in the past few years and had the title of “Psychological Magician”. His name was Cleveland.

Compared to Professor Fenebach, his reputation in academia was still much inferior, but in the hearts of ordinary citizens, his reputation was much greater. He could almost be called a celebrity.

“What makes you so sure?” the old man in the traditional clothes of the Declan royal family asked with a frown.

When facing Professor Fenebach, Cleveland could still put on a mocking and disdainful expression, but when facing this old man, he immediately appeared respectful.

“Your Highness, according to my research, people who are forcefully locked in a confinement environment will usually show two symptoms. The first is that they will be easily angry and vexed from the beginning. As their emotions reach their peak, they will quickly slide down and in the end, they will become very silent and quiet. The other is that they will appear very calm at the beginning, but in the end, they will instantly have a mental breakdown. Their performance will be extremely extreme and can even be called hysterical. They are very similar to the traditional ‘lunatic’. This Chu Nan’s performance a few days ago completely matches the characteristics of the second person, so I determine that he will erupt at any time because of a mental breakdown. It’s best to be careful of his sudden counterattack under such circumstances.”

The old man nodded, turned to Professor Fenebach on the right, and asked, “What do you think?”

Professor Fenebach’s attitude towards the old man was more calm and was far inferior to Cleveland’s servile attitude. When he heard this, he looked at Chu Nan’s actions on the virtual screen for a while before answering, “I don’t agree with Cleveland’s judgment. I don’t see any signs of collapse in Chu Nan’s actions so far. I don’t think he’ll collapse easily.”

At this point, he suddenly bowed to the old man.

“Prince Felwood, I hope to study him more deeply when the time comes. If I can study him well for a period of time, I believe I can obtain very precious information for my psychological research.”

“Don’t even think about this. If he can pass it peacefully this time, he probably won’t have time to give you any research in the future. If not, there’s even less chance.” The old man waved his hand, “I’ve already told you the reason why I asked you to come this time in advance. Now, answer me, what method can I use to make him tell me everything he knows honestly?”

“There are many ways.” Cleveland immediately replied, “The current method of confinement is actually not very good, because this might cause him to have a mental breakdown. The confidence we obtain from him after this will also seem chaotic and incomplete. We can completely try…”

Cleveland spoke eloquently for more than ten minutes before stopping.

After hearing this, the old man nodded and did not say anything. He turned to Professor Fenebach and asked, “What do you think?”

Professor Fenebach frowned and looked at Chu Nan on the virtual screen. He turned around and asked, “Have you tried directly using drugs to stimulate it?”

Beside him, Cleveland sneered bluntly.

“Heh, Professor Fenebach, what His Highness needs is to break through his psychological defense and obtain the complete information in his brain. Do you actually suggest directly using drug stimulation? Don’t tell me you don’t know that drug stimulation will cause unpredictable damage to the brain. If you really do this and such an outcome happens, won’t all your previous efforts be in vain? I feel that…”

“I’m not asking you now.” The old man interrupted Cleveland expressionlessly.

Cleveland’s words were stuck in his throat. His already rosy face flushed even redder, but he did not dare to refute the old man at all. He could only hold it in and lower his head.

“It’s certain that the drug stimulation has no effect on him.” The old man did not explain much and only continued to ask, “Is there no other way other than the drug stimulation?”

“If the drug stimulation doesn’t work, I’m afraid we can only use more primitive methods.” Professor Fenebach frowned even more, “Clearly, the pain won’t affect him much. Is there anyone or anything he’s especially concerned about? It should be more effective to start with these.”

The old man also frowned. “Apart from these?”

“These won’t do?” Professor Fenebach frowned. He thought for a moment and asked, “Can you let me talk to him in person? He’s not old after all. I should be able to break through his psychological defense and try to make him reveal useful information.”

“No, you’re not qualified to come into contact with the things he knows.” The old man shook his head and rejected bluntly.

Professor Fenebach and Cleveland looked surprised.

The two of them looked at Chu Nan on the virtual screen and were surprised.

What had this young kid done? He actually knew something that the royal family of the empire valued so much?

“If I can’t talk to him in person, I can’t accurately determine his psychological condition, so I can’t give an accurate answer,” Professor Fenebach said helplessly, “This young man’s mind is very firm. I’m afraid ordinary methods won’t be effective.”

The old man also frowned and turned to look at Chu Nan on the virtual screen. He thought for a moment and looked at Cleveland.

“Repeat the methods you just mentioned.”

Cleveland was immediately overjoyed.
