The mask is connected to two tubes.
One for incoming water, one for exhaust.
"This is controlled water asphyxiation," Lemont explained, as if discussing a scientific experiment: "We'll precisely control the water amount and temperature. First phase, room-temperature water."
Cold liquid instantly surged into the mask. Milosh instinctively held his breath, but water flooded through every gap in his nose and mouth. At thirty seconds, his lungs began to burn. At forty-five seconds, his body convulsed severely, the restraints digging deep into his flesh.

Milosh coughed violently, water spraying from the edges of the mask.
"Song Heping's location?" Lemont asked.
"Don't... know... cough cough cough—"
Milosh's voice was torn apart by water and coughing.
Second water injection.
This time, the water temperature was lower, close to freezing.
