Chapter 374: 374: An Eye for an Eye
He didn’t understand…
What did Bai Youwei mean by what she said? Had she found the solution to passing the level? If not, why would she mention a reward when they were evidently severely injured? How could it be possible…T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.co/m
Perhaps she was just trying to test him.
Like before, trying to trick him into revealing information!
But if she really could pass through the level, he would gladly accept. After all, collecting precious data from her death would be great, but losing such a unique sample too soon would be a waste.
In the end, there are still so many… so many games that are expecting her arrival…
The Inspector laughed and left the dining room.
Bai Youwei, Zhu Shu, and Yu Yaqing headed towards the torture chamber.
In the chamber, it was considerably warm with braziers set all around, each one with a branding iron in it. One of them stood extinguished, effectively blocking the exit of the underground cells.
The Gardener was lying quietly on the ground wearing a white shirt.
The chamber was reset to its original state.
Except for the woman on the torture instrument…
There was no sign of Su Man, and they didn’t dare to wonder about her current whereabouts.
After surveying the room, Bai Youwei pointed to the saw, instructing Zhu Shu and Yu Yaqing to unhitch it.
“Where should we saw?” Yu Yaqing asked her, “The neck?”
“No, it’d be too quick,” replied Bai Youwei with a cold, calm voice. “I want to see him suffer.”
Zhu Shu looked at the both of them, hesitatingly asked, “Will it work this time?”
“Yes,” Bai Youwei responded with an unfazed expression, nodding her head. “Cheng Xi only got a small cut, and she was bleeding so much that the white cloth used for bandaging turned entirely red. There were blood stains all over her room… This tells us her wound wasn’t healing.”
She paused for a moment, then looked at her two companions, “What happens when a torture instrument that prevents wounds from healing meets a body that has self-healing abilities?”
Zhu Shu, holding one end of the saw, locked her eyes on the man lying on the floor and asked, “Was it purposely designed this way? Making us fear these torture instruments, too terrified to think about using them on him… If we had realized this sooner…”
She thought of Su Man, tears welling in her eyes as she looked away.
Yu Yaqing, clutching the other end of the saw, stepped up beside the Gardener and slowly spoke:
“Instruments of torture symbolize oppressive violence, a violence that seeks to subjugate females as much as males. Perhaps this is what the game wants us to learn: only by overcoming our innermost fears, resisting it, and defeating it, can we truly call it escape! I refuse to believe that the only way to pass this test requires us to be the last one standing! Even if that is the real way to survive, I’ll never compromise!”
Bai Youwei observed Yu Yaqing, then Zhu Shu.
They both nodded back at her, determination in their eyes.
Bai Youwei lowered her gaze, finally looking at the man on the floor, muttering under her breath, “Then… let’s begin. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.”
Women are not naturally soft, they can accomplish anything once they overcome their innermost fears.
The sawblade descended
The Gardener woke up in shock.
Like the last time, he screamed in pain, struggling violently! In a short time, he had transformed into a massive beast!
And blood was gushing out of his stomach!
“Aaargh!!!”
He howled, launching himself at Bai Youwei!
Boom!
The familiar lavender glow emerged once again! His limbs twitched spasmodically while his entire body felt as if his blood was boiling. He collapsed to the floor with a thud!
And the sawblade fell yet again, relentless!
Unable to accept this outcome, he looked at Bai Youwei in agony, “Why…you…”
On Bai Youwei’s cool face, a faint smirk finally emerged, “Because I had a good night’s sleep and am all charged up again”
Blood splattered around her, blooming like a flower.
