Chapter 98

Chapter 98

The cruelty of human nature is bottomless, so you must never venture to test it.

Yuan Luoyi knew this clearly. She had died a painful death many times before. When she fell asleep, those fragments of memories would resurface, making her relive the agonies over and over again.

Burned alive, buried alive, beheaded, drowned, fallen to death...

People wanted to kill her for various reasons: money, status, beauty, jealousy, the list goes on.

If she had to rank them, Yuan Luoyi felt that being strangled to death was the most excruciating.

After suffocating, all her internal organs ached, as if countless knives had pierced through her body. The process of death was excruciatingly slow, and worse still, she remained conscious throughout.

She struggled desperately, her fingers clawing bloody marks on the ground, hot tears streaming down her cheeks, her eyes fixed on the door, where she could have seen her Brother.

It was impossible to say she didn't hate them. She also wanted these people to pay the price.

So whenever her Brothers killed, Yuan Luoyi never stopped them.

After repeated time travels, she went from being terrified and trembling, to becoming calm, even accustomed to the stench of blood.

The instinct for killing was lured out by the fresh blood.

Now, Yuan Luoyi stared at Zhang Xunyin in the cage.

How could she slander her Second and Third Brothers like that?

She should pay the price for this...

Yuan Si stood beside Yuan Luoyi, elegantly offering a dagger. It was exquisitely small and delicate, the handle intricately carved with beautiful patterns, and the blade glinted with a chilling sharpness, incredibly keen.

It was an invitation. She took the dagger, plunging towards the darkness, no longer a strange shade of gray, but the same color as her Brothers.

Yuan Si's voice was bewitchingly seductive: "We will never betray you, nor will we ever harm you. But they are too filthy. Why become like them when you belong with us?"

The dagger drew closer.

"We will protect each other..."

"She is our common enemy. Please kill her for us."

The allure of the dagger suddenly intensified. Yuan Luoyi unconsciously reached out her hand, her fingers caressing the uneven carvings on the handle.

It felt cold to the touch, and Yuan Luoyi's gaze gradually grew colder as well.

Her fingers traced the patterns on the handle downward. She was about to pick up the dagger.

"I was too poor. I just wanted to survive. Is that wrong?"

"Besides, I only spread a few rumors. You weren't really harmed!"

"If it's really that bad, I'll give you all the money I received! Just let me go!"

The believers grew restless. Zhang Xunyin's self-justification angered them. A few of them, their expressions filled with rage, stood up and began arguing.

"She's not even remorseful for what she did. She only regrets getting caught by us!"

"Master! Please let me execute this arrogant, ignorant criminal!"

"Only death can redeem her sins! Only then can justice prevail in this world! We must send her to hell!"

Zhang Xunyin stuck her hand out of the cage, pointing her index finger at the believers while trembling with anger and grief: "You are the real criminals!"

"My parents and younger brother had nothing to do with this, but you killed them!"

"I'm just an ordinary person... Why did this have to happen to me..."

A few mocking laughs rang out in the hall as the believers looked on coldly at Zhang Xunyin's tear-stained face.

This girl, due to her foolishness, did not understand repentance. And because she did not understand repentance, she deserved to die.

Yuan Si's attention was not on Zhang Xunyin, but entirely focused on observing his sister, trying to glimpse into her inner world and find an opportunity to exploit...

Hearing such words, anyone would be enraged.

His sister lowered her head, her brow furrowed tightly, her small hands gripping the armrests. Clearly, she too despised Zhang Xunyin.

She was still struggling. If she simply embraced the darkness and killed that woman, she wouldn't have to suffer like this.

Yuan Si placed his hand on Yuan Luoyi's shoulder, tightening his grip slightly as he continued to tempt her: "Look, she has already killed people, yet she still claims to be an ordinary person."

"Those on the outside will all protect her and see her as a hero. We can only carry out justice in our own way."

"And when she dies, you will feel liberated, for you are one of us."

*Slap!*

Yuan Si clapped his hands together, and all the believers turned to look at him in reverence, absolutely obedient to the deity's instructions.

"Show your loyalty!"

The believers immediately became excited, having been waiting for this command.
