What a horrifying machine. I know it's fictional but considering real life atrocities, I wouldn't be terribly surprised the CIA would have one being researched in Area 51. And the CCP too would certainly bid a hefty amount for such an interesting toolkit.
...shit. Now that I think about it, out real world is a dystopia of sorts isn't it?
Anyway, this doesn't look good for either of them. I can't tell whether Fukurou is bullshitting Hal about his fears though; the man is clearly impossible to read.
Hal meanwhile is a genius though with a calm head, possibly the most calm headed individual in the manga outside of possibly Suteguma (he was something else). I wonder if he can outlast the Pain's harmful effects...
This gamble is just brutal even by the things shown yet. Getting reminders of the metal bull fire trap gamble and that's not a good thing.
