"I'm going to give you two choices. One, your woman and your two children. But my guess is that you'd be reluctant. So… do you see the box under the table?"
Gu Jinglian took half a step back. As expected, there was a box under the table.
He hesitated.
"Don't worry! It's not a bomb in there. If I wanted you dead, I wouldn't have hidden the bomb in this box. Heh."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Jinglian lifted the box and opened it. Inside were two strange-looking torture devices.
One seemed to be an iron balaclava, but within this headgear was hidden an extraordinary mystery.
The iron balaclava was fitted over the head with two electric drills aimed at the temple. If the mechanism was triggered, the drills would drive into the temple until they pierced the skull.
The other, which appeared to be an amputating device used to hold the hand in place. Triggering the mechanism would sever the fingers at the root.
