Chapter 354: The Coalition Government’s Response
After weighing the pros and cons, the assassin inside the door finally did not rush out to chase and kill Du Fei and Qian Feiyan, but waited for Duke Leto to arrive with excitement.
Just as Du Fei thought, Duke Leto's life was the most coveted achievement for the assassins, and they would not let it go easily as long as there was a glimmer of opportunity.
However, this was just Du Fei's lie.
The assassin waited in the room, but what finally came was not Duke Leto, but a team of soldiers trained by Duncan.
They carefully lurked outside the room, then kicked the door open, rushed in like wolves and tigers, and captured the assassin who was still waiting for Duke Leto on the spot.
Although the assassin mastered the sound, her sound was not as good as that of the Virgin Helen, and could only be used on a single person, leaving no room for use when she was arrested.
She tried to bite the poison sac to commit suicide, but the elite of the Atreides family came to arrest her. They were experienced and discovered her plot at the first time, and took off her dentures with the poison sac in time.
Since then, the assassination attempt has completely failed.
The cruel interrogation began.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Snap! Snap! Snap!
The two-meter-long whip with barbs, dipped in chili water, can tear a piece of flesh from a person with each lash, and can also bring intense pain that makes people almost faint.
The interrogators of Atreides did not rush to ask questions, but started a fierce whipping.
Du Fei is the Mentat of Atreides, and Qian Feiyan is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the United Government. These two people are more important than each other, and the assassin almost succeeded.
From any angle, the interrogators believed that the assassin needed to pay the price for this.
The whipping was just the beginning.
The assassin came from the Sisterhood. Good self-discipline gave her an impressive figure, but the interrogators did not have the slightest pity for her.
She was naked and hung on the chain, without a single piece of good flesh on her body, and even the proud mountains on her chest were sunken - the barbs on the whip took away her flesh and blood, and even if the wound was healed in the future, it would leave a shocking and ugly scar where the scar once existed.
The interrogator pushed a small cart carrying various bottles and cans to the assassin's side. He scooped a spoonful of translucent orange-yellow liquid from a can and sprinkled it evenly on the assassin's bloody body.
This is a medicine with a hemostatic effect, which is effective and can accelerate the body's self-healing, but it will cause the wound to itch so intensely that the patient can peel off his own skin.
"Ah!"
"Let me go! Please!"
"Ah!!!"
The assassin, who had been silent during the whipping just now, was defeated by the intense itching that enveloped her whole body. She screamed and twisted wildly on the chain, like an eel that was held down by the head and tail and immersed in boiling oil.
The interrogator was indifferent and poured two more spoonfuls of liquid on her.
"Ah!!!"
The assassin struggled desperately, the iron chain was pulled and made a clanging sound, and the smell of blood mixed with the smell of medicine spread in the air, making the already dimly lit interrogation room even more gloomy and terrifying.
"The Virgin Helen sent me here!"
"I have six companions!"
"Let me go! I'll tell you where they are!"
The interrogators didn't ask a single question, and the assassin confessed.
Although the members of the sisterhood are strong-willed and some have received special training to resist torture, few can persist in the face of real pain and torture.
"Tell us everything you know." The interrogator spoke, staring at the struggling assassin expressionlessly, with a strong murderous intent in his voice, "If we are satisfied, we will give you a quick death!"
This assassin sneaked into the residence of the Atreides family and attempted to assassinate important figures of the Atreides family. This is a heinous crime, so no matter what the result of the interrogation is, she cannot leave this interrogation room alive.
But if the information she provides satisfies the interrogators, she can suffer less while she is alive.
"I will tell you! I will tell you everything! Ah!"
The assassin told the whole story like pouring beans, and when she said that she was a formal Bene Gesserit, the interrogators were all shocked.
Not just any member who serves the sisterhood can be called a Bene Gesserit, otherwise the nanny who cleans up the kitchen waste for the sisterhood can also be considered a Bene Gesserit.
A formal Bene Gesserit needs to receive formal education at the Sisterhood School, a process that consumes a lot of resources including, but not limited to, spices, and eventually enables the Bene Gesserit to master many professional knowledge such as speech, polygraph, fighting, politics, psychology, etc.
These knowledge give the Bene Gesserit a superior status, especially speech and polygraph.
Therefore, although most Bene Gesserit do not have noble titles, any Bene Gesserit who reveals his identity will be treated as a guest of honor by the major families in the galaxy and receive high courtesy and preferential treatment.
Bene Gesserit enjoys the privileges brought by birth, while also abiding by the rules of the Sisterhood.
They have excellent psychological qualities and will never act recklessly out of their own will.
A formal Bene Gesserit attempts to assassinate an important member of the Atreides Family, which means that the Sisterhood has declared a full-scale war against the Atreides Family!
The Sisterhood has the same transcendent status as the Space Guild, and possesses special abilities such as sound and speech. Their participation in the war between Atreides and the royal family is bound to bring considerable resistance and trouble to Atreides.
The interrogators could not immediately confirm the authenticity of the information, they had to verify it, and the verification method was more cruel punishment.
The scene in the interrogation room became more and more tragic.
It was not until half a day later that the soldiers of the Atreides family destroyed several bases of the Sisterhood of Arrakis according to the information provided by the assassin, and captured several Bene Gesserit.
The information was verified to be true, and the news was quickly passed to the Atreides senior leaders headed by Duke Leto.
The United Government was very concerned about the assassination of Qian Feiyan, and put a lot of pressure on the Atreides family. Duke Leto did not dare to neglect it, so the United Government almost received the information of the Atreides family at the same time.
"Bene Gesserit? Sisterhood?"
"Rebellion against them!"
Craven looked at the information in his hand, he snorted coldly, and a cruel expression appeared on his face.
It was their turn to be on duty this month, and such a thing happened.
The top diplomat of the coalition government was assassinated, and the assassination attempt was successful. If Qian Feiyan had not been bound to the time restart device, they would have to hold a funeral for Qian Feiyan now.
"I didn't intend to get involved in the affairs of the Dune universe. I just wanted to do scientific research and production." Kraven narrowed his eyes, and the anger in his heart rose little by little with his words, "The enemy is so arrogant that he killed my diplomats"
