Originally, Ren Shuhan wasn’t going to pity opponents in his plan.
In theory, someone like Yu Xi, a top-tier assassin, wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake—completely cornering oneself without understanding the enemy’s background. Also, Ren Shuhan had thought that Yu Xi’s hatred for Jiang Qingyue had reached a point of obsession…
But regardless, he was here.
This way, he didn’t have to keep pretending, he could just go all out!
Although Ren Shuhan hadn’t used a whip much before, he was proficient in almost all weapons. He chose the whip this time for two reasons: first, because he felt it matched his wife’s appearance and attire better… and second, because it was suitable for suppressing assassins.
Like a snake eating a bird, but there were also birds that could eat snakes. Generally, people thought that the whip was completely restrained by the assassin’s blade, but with enough strength, the whip could also overpower the blade.
Ren Shuhan swung the whip and knocked Yu Xi to the ground!
Audience:
“What what what?”
“I bet on the right person! I’m rich!! I told you the little milky maiden1A way to say that he’s cute and tender I guess could do it!!!”
Yu Xi instantly realized that his previous clumsy techniques were all fake!
The whip, like a predatory snake, accurately bypassed Yu Xi’s blade and struck him heavily around the waist. The force of the blow made Yu Xi even suspect that he had been cut in half at the waist. Moreover, the whip was long enough that when it wound around his arms for the second time, it dealt another heavy blow to the previous wound.
“Do you surrender?” Ren Shuhan lifted his foot to step on Yu Xi’s face, coldly saying, “Apologize to me.”
Watching the live broadcast, Jiang Qingyue: “…”
This… this… It feels strange to hear myself say such things >///>
And he seems really angry, Jiang Qingyue’s heart softened even more, deciding to comfort him well after finishing the match.
Yu Xi didn’t speak, holding his breath, his hands clenched tightly around the knife, behind his back, quietly trying to cut the whip, but soon, the second whip was swung, first knocking him away, then slamming him against the air wall of the barrier, and finally landing on his arms.
“Ah—”
Yu Xi couldn’t help but scream.
This time the pain made him think he was going to die, his mind went blank.
Hands are the most important thing for an assassin, and Yu Xi now suspected that his tendons were torn. The mental despair was more tormenting than the physical pain.
Ren Shuhan still said the same two words, “Apologize.”
Yu Xi still refused to speak.
Ren Shuhan pressed his right foot on his shoulder, the end of the whip passing under his arm, his left hand winding the whip around his hand, suddenly tightening it.
Yu Xi screamed again, “Ah ah!!!”
His voice was already hoarse, like a dying beast.
The live stream fell silent, no one knew what to say.
No one would have thought that beneath this little beauty’s surface lay such a devil…
In the midst of sweetness, there were indeed cases of cruelty, but usually there were special circumstances.
When there was deep enmity between the two sides, there was always one person who made a mistake, but now the audience didn’t know what the problem was between the two, so they wouldn’t immediately conclude who the villain was and take sides. After all, news always twists and turns, and who can explain private grudges clearly?
“Apologize,” Ren Shuhan said expressionlessly, even smiling a little, “Otherwise, I’ll break your hands.”
Yu Xi finally softened, tears streaming down his face, blurting out, “I’m sorry…”
“Sorry for what?” Ren Shuhan asked with a smile, “Be more specific.”
“I’m sorry…” Yu Xi choked, “for watching you kill and not… stopping you…”
The audience:
“What the heck?”
“Yu Xi has some backbone!”
Ren Shuhan sneered.
“It should be you forcing me to kill, right?” He guessed it right away, this must be following the plot, “Forcing someone who can’t even bear to kill animals to mudrer others, do you know how painful it is for me?”
Jiang Qingyue watched the live broadcast, his expression somewhat stunned.
He loves me even more than I imagined—realizing this, Jiang Qingyue suddenly made up his mind to completely unlock Ren Shuhan’s memories.
Because Ren Shuhan, who was abusing Yu Xi like this, couldn’t forget the things from his past life, otherwise it wouldn’t be fair.
Yu Xi’s breath was weak: “I didn’t force you… it’s just your… fate.”
“Oh? Is it?” Ren Shuhan remained calm on the surface, but his heart was as cold as the Arctic, “If you didn’t agree, would I have to endure such pain? What about the innocent people who died? Have you thought about that?”
“They’re just… it’s their fates.” Yu Xi’s eyes half-closed, then he suddenly smiled, “If it weren’t for me, you people wouldn’t even exist, and now you blame me for bringing trouble to you all?”
Ren Shuhan closed his eyes, silent for a moment.
“I see you’re not in pain anymore, don’t know how to confess.”
With that, he opened his eyes again and tightened the whip in his hand.
The whip tightened around Yu Xi’s arms and chest, making several sounds of bones breaking.
Yu Xi couldn’t even scream.
“I’ll give you another chance to think before you speak,” Ren Shuhan looked at him, as if he was looking at a stone on the roadside.
Just in the moment when he closed his eyes, all his original memories suddenly rushed back.
The password lock for sealing memories had always been in Jiang Qingyue’s mind, but because he didn’t care, Jiang Qingyue had previously said that the memories could be restored once they returned to the original world, and hadn’t opened it for him. Now, it suddenly returned to him, and Ren Shuhan guessed that Jiang Qingyue must have wanted to interfere with him torturing Yu Xi. After all, with his memories back, he wouldn’t need to coax Yu Xi anymore.
Because he remembered that in the original world, he had never quarreled with Yu Xi, and had even politely bid him farewell when he left.
But in contrast, he had hurt Jiang Qingyue!
Ren Shuhan couldn’t help but laugh.
Qingyue had always been like this, this time he should also hope that he remembered Yu Xi’s original goodness, so he could show mercy… but he was wrong.
Now Ren Shuhan’s hatred for Yu Xi had indeed decreased, but he felt more disdain.
“What I said, what’s wrong?” Yu Xi’s voice floated weakly in the air.
“I don’t know, let me remind you,” Ren Shuhan said sympathetically, “You said you gave them life, but have you asked them their own thoughts? Do you consider this puppet-like existence, this doomed fate, to be your gift to them?”
The audience finally started to understand a bit.
Although people from the main world couldn’t run out of a book, this kind of unheard-of thing, similar ethical issues were commonplace in the world of Sweet Murder Game.
The bio-humans created to serve humans in their daily life, some of whom were beloved one day, thinking they were family or lovers of humans, only to be abandoned the next day, dismembered and thrown into the second-hand market. Some had suffered various forms of violence since birth, but were implanted with genes that prevented resistance, and could only be slaughtered at will.
But these were only visible to the residents of the main world.
Invisible, far away, were the residents of the inner world, who could not resist at all.
They weren’t even like bio-humans who knew from the beginning that they weren’t human, but were just human playthings.
For the sake of making movies, reality shows, the creatures created, some dead actors could only live for two seconds, some soldiers could only live through one battle, born with vivid memories, still dreaming of reuniting with their families after the war, but didn’t know they would be useless after the war, destined to die. And there were even actors in adult films, who spent their lives escaping in fear, being abused in the pornography industry, being watched by people throughout their lives without realizing it.
Their human rights issues couldn’t even be brought up for discussion in many occasions, because they were invisible, deliberately mentioning them was like talking about women’s rights in the old days, saying it would only provoke laughter.
So soon, the barrage surged with a tide of debate, but surprisingly no one guessed Jiang Qingyue’s true identity:
“They said they were forced to kill… but haven’t seen any news of death recently? Should they be killing bio-humans, so isn’t the little beauty also a bio-human?”
“It must be a bio-human actor, I knew this kind of beauty couldn’t be real! I’m calm now, but also jealous, why doesn’t my bio-human at home have this level of looks?”
“Torturing bio-humans : ) Yu Xi is doomed!”
“No wonder the combat power is so overpowered, but honestly, it’s just a bio-human, shouldn’t give him permission to participate in games, it’s already strange enough for him to show up, who’s the owner? Why doesn’t the owner take care of their bio-human properly?”
“What era is it that says bio-humans can’t even play games? If it’s a bio-human participating in the competition, the game has a balance system to limit it, so everyone stop discriminating, and don’t expect too much. I’ve played a few games with my bio-wife, it’s like scraping…”
“Not all bio-humans are the same (Goodbye).”
“I know, Little Beauty’s owner must be the master of chaos!!!”
Jiang Qingyue watched the live broadcast and suddenly felt a bit hot in his face.
Calling a certain someone “master” was something he had actually done before, and the consequence was that he couldn’t get out of bed for several days…
Using Ren Shuhan’s body, he secretly liked the comment “Little Beauty’s owner is the master of chaos”, which was discovered by other viewers, triggering a frenzy of cries demanding to “bring the dog in to kill2Basically he’s showing off and they want him to be “punished”“.
On the other hand, Ren Shuhan was losing patience. He tightened the whip to its maximum.
If Yu Xi didn’t confess soon, he planned to kill him directly.
But Yu Xi couldn’t hold on as long as he had hoped. Before Ren Shuhan could kill him, he confessed directly, only seeking a quick death: “I’m sorry… I was wrong… I shouldn’t have forced you to kill, to fall into darkness… and even forced you to kill him, I was wrong, just kill me…”
After regaining his memories, Ren Shuhan felt a bit of pain, but also felt indifferent. Before completely breaking his neck with the whip, he said only one sentence.
“Since you think people should just accept their fate, should live according to the rules, then I’ll kill you according to the rules of this world.”
so there’s human players, bio-humans who are “made” and can be owned, and bio-human actors who are meant to “populate” the worlds/books… dang this game world is kinda terrible
