    Chapter 481 – Top Ten Torture Methods


    Shirley patted Irving, her patience almost running out. She urged, “If you have any ideas, just speak up.


    Don’t you try to fool me!’


    Irving smiled awkwardly, “The impostor of Mr. Quintin is indeed very cautious. He only contacts me


    through text messages, and we can’t pin his location through his phone number.


    So unless he is willing to show up, we can’t find him. At present, you’re the only person who can lure


    him to show up.”


    ‘I’m afraid you think too highly of me…” Shirley added dejectedly, ‘Ever since he stood me up, I could


    no longer contact him.


    If he really cared about me, he wouldn’t have left without bidding farewell to me.” ‘I believe that the


    impostor must have his own reason…”


    ‘So what do you want me to do exactly?” ‘It’s very simple. Ms. Wilson,e with me.” Irving beckoned


    Shirley with his finger.


    In the night, they walked around in the huge and mysterious Crimson Pawnshop. After taking a lot of


    turns, they finally stopped at the most remote courtyard.


    Maybe no one entered this courtyard in the past hundreds of years. The front door was covered with


    spider webs, emitting a rotten and sinful smell.


    ‘Irving, what are you trying to do?” Shirley pursed her lips and subconsciously stepped backward. ‘Ms.


    Wilson, don’t be afraid…’


    Irving brushed off the dust on his robe and said in a rxed tone, “This is the ce for water torture,


    one of the top ten torture methods used in Crimson Pawnshop.


    No one was punished here in the past four years, so it looks rather dpidated. There used to be


    peopleing and going. It was very lively.”


    “Kaff kaff, top ten torture methods? Peopleing and going?” Shirley was so surprised that she


    almost choked on her own saliva. ‘


    Are you sure you are not filming a movie? What ten torture methods? I have only heard of the ones


    used in ancient times!”


    “The ancient ones were not as gruesome as those used in Crimson Pawnshop. Since they are


    inhumane, I will not exin them to you one by one.


    Let’s talk about this water torture…” Irving said, “Water torture is the lightest punishment among the top


    ten.


    The punished are tied in the water prison and suffer all kinds of torture. The water only reaches the


    waist of the punished in the beginning.


    Later, every half an hour, other things will be put into the water. Whates first are snakes,


    centipedes, mudfish, and so on.


    Next is hot water. And thenes hot oil, and finally… sulfuric acid!’ “Ugh, shut up. Who came up with


    those ideas? It’s too brutal!”


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Shirley could not bring herself to imagine the scene. The thought of snakes in the water caused her to


    have goosebumps, not to mention hot oil or sulfuric acid.


    Moreover, snakes would run around indiscriminately in the hot water. It was enough to imagine how


    terrifying the punishment would be!


    “Ms. Wilson, you are too kind. As I said, water torture is the lightest of the top ten punishments. And


    these punishments were fully created by the boss.”


    “Larry created them?’ Shirley couldn’t help but sigh again, “Does he have a special taste in torturing?”


    “The boss’ original goal was to intimidate those who were disobedient. Whether it was customers or


    employees of Crimson Pawnshop, whoever did not abide by the rules would face punishments.


    Under the threat of the top ten torture methods, almost no one dared to make a mistake. So very few


    people were really punished.”


    Irving was honest about this. “I understand this. In ancient times, if the rulers wanted to assure their


    governing, they applied extremely strict punishment systems.


    I think Larry should have read history books about ancient punishments. Otherwise, normal people


    shouldn’t havee up with such perverted methods.”


    Shirley was very reasonable. She did not agree to use Larry’s method for punishment, but she also


    understood that Larry had no better choice.


    Larry came from a small fishing vige and got his current position step by step. It was impossible for


    him to seed without using some special methods.


    “But why did you bring me here? Is someone to be punished here?’ Shirley asked Irving in confusion.


    “Yes, it’s you who will be punished!”


    Irving smiled, took out the key, and opened the door of the water prison. He bowed slightly and made


    an inviting gesture. “Ms. Wilson, please!”


    What? Shirley swallowed her saliva and felt terrified. The prison cell was not big, around the size of a


    bedroom with a height of about 6.5 feet, which was enough topletely drown people.


    The walls of the prison cell were smooth with many different sizes of holes. Maybe snakes, centipedes,


    hot oil, sulfuric acid, and other things were put in through the holes.


    As no one came in here for a long time, it emitted a rotten smell as if from a dead mouse or even a


    corpse.


    Shirley couldn’t stand it. She felt like wanting to vomit every breath she took!


    “Don’t be nervous. I am thinking that you will stay in the prison cell for the time being and assume a


    torture posture.


    Then I will take some photos and send them to the impostor of Mr. Quintin and tell him that the real


    boss hase back and that he needs toe to save you.


    He also knows how terrible the water torture is. I believe that as long as he sees the photos, he will


    rush to save you!


    ‘In this way, you can not only let him appear but also test whether he truly loves you or not. Isn’t it a


    good idea?”


    Irving felt that he was extremely smart toe up with such a perfect method. “It sounds like … a good


    method!”


    Shirley rubbed her chin, lost in deep thought. She also wanted to know who this impostor was and


    whether he really loved her.


    “It’s a good idea, right? Then let’s strike while the iron is hot. It will be dawn soon…” Irving excitedly


    tested the various switches of the water prison, eager to try them.


    However, Shirley was a little upset. She stood in front of the prison cell and hesitated. “Will this really


    work? He is so cunning and cautious.


    He will note, right?” ‘It doesn’t matter if he doesn’te. At least it proves that he doesn’t love


    you.


    It also proves that I was blind as I couldn’t see his true self.” “Then I hope he won’te!” Shirley


    whispered.


    She really hoped that he wouldn’te. If he came to save her at the expense of himself, she would


    feel guilty for the rest of her life.


    ‘Whether hees or not, he will decide for himself. You just have to cooperate to put up a show. I


    think he will arrive in half an hour because in less than half an hour,


    snakes and centipedes will be released in the cell. How can he bear to let you suffer that?’ ‘Alright. Do


    it!”


    Shirley nodded and gritted her teeth as she got into the cell. The water had reached the ankles now,


    and more water kept running in through the holes.


    Her hands were pressed against the wall of the prison cell by iron chains, and she looked extremely


    haggard and pitiful.


    ‘Very good. Maintain this posture, squeeze out some tears, and call for help…” Irving held his phone


    and instructed Shirley for him to film a video.


    Soon, a ten-second video was sessfully shot and sent to the impostor of Mr. Quintin.
