Conditioning

It was hours later when Harvey and the group of failed experiments exited the dark room. Their clothes stuck to their bodies due to sweat and a few of them could be seen huffing and puffing. But despite their sorry state, none of them express any emotion.

Harvey was one of those struggling to breathe right now. This is the only method for him to avoid revealing his maintained cognition. There is no time to waste so whilst being carried by two Hydra personnel he recalled his experience in the dark room.

After the lights were put out, Harvey vaguely felt something being let down. It blocked his vision and made it impossible for him to observe the others. It was followed by a whirring sound in his ears that built up to a mental force that intruded itself into his mind.

It numbed his senses, followed by a feeling of dullness which ultimately induced in him the feeling that nothing in life matters anymore which caused them to relax.

The second whirring then arrived and its mental force easily pierced through their unguarded minds. For a moment, screams and cries sounded. Their memories are being destroyed, defiled, and grounded to dust in preparation for the final stage of conditioning.

Whirl~, whirl~, whirl~... fuosh~

Those were the sounds that entered the participant's ears before they all fainted without exception. Unfortunately, they are inside Hydra and not some circus. Despite their circumstances, the person behind the machine carries on planting information after information inside their brains. This created a vicious cycle of the participants fainting from pain and waking up from the pain.

Harvey lost count of how much he passed out at that time. What he did remember, however, was being so mad he swore an oath to destroy Hydra in his heart. Not only for the pain they inflicted on him but also for others.
