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, come 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 relaxed tone, “This is the place 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 dilapidated. There used to be people coming and going. It was very lively.”

“Kaff kaff, top ten torture methods? People coming 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 explain 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. What comes first are snakes, centipedes, mudfish, and so on.

Next is hot water. And then comes hot oil, and finally… sulfuric acid!’ “Ugh, shut up. Who came up with those ideas? It’s too brutal!”

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.
