[Episode 42] #10 Captured hero and brainwashing hypnosis interrogation (1)

After going through such a grand brainwashing affair and taking a short break,

No. 13 used the brainwashing tool he had prepared and again hinted at brainwashing Apple.

Rather than adding new implications, it is a process of re-instilling brainwashing so that it does not wear off.

Common sense developed over 20 years of life,

Because it can be loosened due to temperature differences with the surroundings, etc.

Brainwashing must be repeated periodically in this way... Yes, it was written in Dorothy's manual.

In addition, the child is made to listen to music containing brainwashing sound waves and No. 13's voice every morning, lunch and dinner.

In any case, the human mind is not something that can be easily changed with medicine or tools.

This requires a cumbersome process in many ways.

'… If you keep repeating it, one day… .'

but yet.

No matter how rough it may be,

As time passes, there will come a day when things change irreversibly.

The common sense of a proud hero is completely tainted,

It is common sense and happiness to feel joy in being the plaything of this pathetic villain.

Even if you don't have medicine or tools, the day will come when you will truly think like that and set your life on fire.

"… … "I feel like my hair will fly off before that happens."

Number 13 muttered that as if mocking himself.

No matter how careful I am, I don't have the confidence to live this dangerous life forever.

Because life is so unfortunate,

Surely one day, all of his evil deeds and schemes will be discovered,

I had this horrible feeling that I would literally be torn apart and die.

… … I will never die in my name.

I'm sure I'll die a horrible death.

'So, before I die, I have to live my life doing whatever I want.'

Since this has come to this, let's live our lives doing everything we want to do.

I will throw away all my pride and purpose and live according to my desires.

Let's live a life worthy of a villain,

While brainwashing Apple again, I made up my mind to do so.

* * *

After confirming that the brainwashing was deeply ingrained again using basic brainwashing medicine and some tools prepared by Dorothy,

No. 13 instructed Apple on its next actions.

How do you plan to move in the future, and how do you want people to move accordingly?

Apple is not just a dumb hypnotic doll, but one that follows along with its own thoughts and ideas.

Even if there are no special instructions, they will act for the best on their own.

In any case, I will work with the determination to reform for the best benefit to the villain organization [Abyss] and No. 13.

"Yes, No. 13! We will do our best for No. 13! So please give it a lot of love★"

Even if you say just one thing, everyone will understand,

This brainwashed slave, who is obviously smarter than No. 13 himself, is indeed trustworthy.

"… … "Good, then I'll leave it to you."

After washing Apple's body thoroughly and putting her clothes back on, she massaged her breasts once more over the clothes.

I caught a taxi again and saw Apple off on her way back to the hero base.

Although it was late in the morning, it was still a bit far away from dawn.

'… So what should we do now?'

It would be okay to just sleep in this motel room, but

To begin with, this is a very cheap motel room.

Even when I try to sleep quietly, I can hear faint moaning sounds through the wall, and it feels a little weird to wake up alone in a double room.

'I should have sent Apple in the morning.'

With a strange feeling of regret, No. 13 checked out and returned to the hideout of the villain organization [Abyss].

* * *

That wasn't the only reason why I returned to the hideout instead of sleeping at the motel.

No. 13 returned to the hideout using his usual route on his favorite motorcycle.

Instead of going to his room, he went straight to Dorothy's laboratory.

I called Dorothy through the locked lab door, but there was no answer.

'Of course. 'I'd be sleeping by this time.'

Sometimes, he sleeps all night in the lab, but the lack of an answer probably means he's sleeping soundly in his room right now.

Beep-

Tiddit Tidit Tidit Tidit

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Dorothy didn't tell her, but she opened the door using the password she secretly knew.

If you get caught, you'll be scolded, but it's okay if you don't get caught.

"… "This bastard opens things as he pleases."

"Det?!"

When I open the door and go in,

As soon as it opened, I made eye contact with Dorothy, who was in her underwear, right in front of me.

I guess I was in the middle of changing my clothes.

Aside from the tights pulled up below her knees, she is wearing nothing but dark blue underwear.

Oh my, Dorothy's naked body.

Although she is wearing underwear, Dorothy is naked anyway.

As I have been with Dorothy for a long time, I am not happy at all, but

Yet his eyes did not leave the figure.

Forget even blinking and engrave this scene on your retina.

Mmm, hmm, hmm.

I see

Dorothy was the type that looked skinny when she wore it.

Until now, I thought she was a stocky woman with no lust whatsoever.

When I took it off, it felt surprisingly good.

However, the only thing that was a little disappointing was that the underwear was a comfortable type of spandex material that emphasized mobility.

Do you usually dress like that? I was expecting a more feminine feel.

After all, is it a luxury to want something like that from Dorothy?

"Aren't you going out?"

Only after Dorothy said that did he realize that he was observing Dorothy's half-naked appearance with interest.

Dorothy is also Dorothy.

If you act so calmly while showing off your underwear, it seems like you're saying it's okay to keep looking.

"Quick and get out!"

"huh!"

At Dorothy's urging, No. 13 immediately turned around and came out of the laboratory.

Whirring――

Cough!

Just before the door to the lab closed, an empty can flew in as if out of frustration and hit the back of No. 13's head, making a loud noise.

* * *

"A person is changing clothes, and you open the door on your own and just watch? "I really can't believe it."

"I stayed up all night and I'm sleepy. "Her head isn't working."

"Don't come to my lab in that state of mind. Seriously, don't come. There are a lot of things here that you shouldn't touch. And how do you know the password? "I guess they've never taught me?"

"There is a way to know everything."

"Why are you talking so proudly? Don't know. "I didn't teach you because I didn't want you to know."

Dorothy was irritated and ticked as if she was very angry.

In response to his irritation, No. 13 condescendingly apologizes and asks for forgiveness.

Unlike the boss, who once gets angry can last for several days,

In Dorothy's case, she tends to forget it quickly after she gets angry for a moment, so she will be fine.

If it doesn't work out, you should at least buy him a gift later as an apology.

If you're giving her a gift, buy her some sluttier underwear.

It's not that the style is bad, but I was disappointed because the underwear from before was shabby and had nothing to do with it.

"But Dorothy, what are you doing at this hour, not sleeping?"

"I'm usually awake right now, idiot."

"How many hours do you sleep?"

"Two hours on average. Sometimes three hours."

"Then I will die young."

"Because I have insomnia."

I felt like I knew the cause of the deep dark circles around Dorothy's eyes.

Number 13 walked into the lab without specifically asking for Dorothy's permission.

Inside today… Rather, there is a hero club from the 7th division that was caught yesterday.

A slender body sitting on a strange chair that resembles an operating table.

There were strange tubes sticking out of its body here and there, and something that looked like a heavy helmet was on its head.

The helmet covers the head, ears, and eyes, but the nose and mouth are the only ones not covered.

At least there was a similar type of respirator attached to the one I saw in the infirmary.

Sweet-like gas is periodically exhaled from the respiratory tract and seeps through the club's mouth and nose.

Perhaps out of mercy, he was wearing what looked like a thin surgical gown,

The surgical gown, barely a scrap of cloth that covered the front of her upper body, was wrinkled and disheveled, leaving one breast and nipple exposed.

"Time after the start of the brainwashing surgery... "Now it's time for it to come to an end."

"Something is really serious."

It was exactly what Dorothy had in mind when she said she was preparing a massive brainwashing device.

Strange devices that emit strange lights here and there in the lab are also contributing to that atmosphere.

Wow...

If you think about having your head massaged while surrounded by these mechanical devices... I really feel like I'm being remodeled from the ground up.

"What kind of hint are you giving me now?"

"I will put the hint in the last step. "For now, we're just getting them used to the brainwashing itself."

In addition, even with a device of this size, it seems that a curriculum lasting several weeks is needed to properly establish brainwashing.

"I'm not sure about that either. So far, the only full-fledged awakened test subjects I have touched are you and Apple. "I really need to use this body to do many things."

"Right--huh? for a moment."

Is something strange?

Something was clearly strange, but Dorothy calmly moved on to the next story, so I missed the moment to question her.

… You probably heard it wrong.

I don't really have any memories of being used as Dorothy's test subject.

Sometimes, when I wake up, I feel like I have an unknown wound or scar.

In any case, it was never used as Dorothy's test subject.

"So, what should I do? "Now we have to decide on the direction of what kind of hints to inject."

As Dorothy said this, she held out several pieces of paper.

Samples and predictions about how this hero's head will be handled in the future, various "directions",

And there were comments about it from Dorothy and her staff.
