Whenever Chen Mo interrogated enemies, he liked using this kind of numb-itch torture.
That was because some people were not actually afraid of pain. Pain only lasted for an instant and had a threshold.

Therefore, virtually no one could endure this punishment. Even Chen Mo himself felt that he would not last more than a few minutes.
Seeing the terror on Mark's face and the increasingly distorted expression, Chen Mo could tell what kind of numb-itch torment he was suffering. The sensation grew from mild to severe, seeping from the skin into his bones before becoming like a million ants gnawing at them.
This numb-itch torture was probably more effective than threatening someone with death. Chen Mo had previously used this method to obtain information from the minds of different enemies, and it had worked exceptionally well.
Although he was using it on an Ability User this time, he hoped the man before him could break the record and last five minutes. Perhaps an Ability User would give him a new breakthrough.
Huh?! He had lasted quite a while—more than a minute already! That put him ahead of nearly eighty percent of the people Chen Mo had used this on. Previously, eighty percent
