"It's certainly a very interesting place... You'll like it there, madam."
Lu Ye tightened the knife he was holding to the woman's neck.
His gaze was utterly cold in the glint of the blade.
Chapter 169 Revenge
Ten minutes later.
There is a clearing in the forest a few hundred meters behind the villa.
There was a large building on the open space that looked like a warehouse.
"We've arrived, madam."
Lu Ye kicked Arya's mother hard, sending her sprawling to the ground.
Her frail body had been severely impacted, and her face was covered in wet mud. The woman coughed incessantly.
"By the way, the guards you hired at such a high price are really not up to par. They pretend to be more serious than anyone else, but they are quite good at slacking off. We haven't run into anyone along the way."
"How...how could you do this?" Arya's mother, regaining her composure, was on the verge of tears. "Arya saved you, we didn't do anything to wrong you, why are you doing this to me...?"
"You're right. They've been treating us to good food and drink, they're such great people, but that only applies to the time before."
Lu Ye pointed to the door of the large warehouse in front of him.
The woman looked in that direction and suddenly her eyes widened in horror.
She discovered that the lock on the door had been broken at some point.
Lu Ye dragged the woman's hair along, like dragging a dead dog.
Although he doesn't usually hit women, it has to be a woman.
I kicked the door open, and a stench hit me, followed by a hellish scene.
Several naked human bodies hung from hooks on the roof, some intact, others mutilated. Blood dripped from them like rain-soaked eaves, pooling on the ground into dark pools. Not far away were various instruments of torture, their blood long since congealed and covered in a thick layer of mold. Scattered pieces of flesh were being happily gnawed on by rats.
Deeper inside this large house, there were piles of iron cages, each containing not animals, but living, breathing humans.
No, to be precise, they can no longer be considered "alive and breathing".
Their bodies were emaciated from prolonged hunger, and covered with all sorts of horrible sores, oozing blood and pus, like tumors.
These people have been tortured to the point of being unrecognizable.
“I think it’s called Al-Labo disease?” Lu Ye said. “I asked about it before, and according to them, the lady of the house here seems to have a hobby of having people take large amounts of drugs and writing about it in her diary.”
"No, it wasn't me... I don't know anything!" The woman's face paled.
"Don't get excited, madam. And what is this book?"
Lu Ye picked up the diary that the woman had been clutching tightly and flipped through it.
After flipping through just a few pages, Lu Ye closed the diary.
The content inside is simply unreadable.
The appalling content in this book is sufficient proof of what women have done.
"I have always been inclined to assume the worst about others, but I never expected, nor believed, that they could be so cruel."
Lu Ye remained expressionless, running his fingers along the blade of Bai Lei's sword, sensing the miasma on it that seemed to be drawing life from him.
“Madam, I’ve killed people before, directly or indirectly. People have died because of me, and most of them were strangers,” Lu Ye said with a sigh. “From then on, I started to think about whether one day I would be killed by someone else, and then I came to the answer… I will probably be killed, because a murderer must be prepared to be killed. In other words, we are both murderers, madam, but the only difference is that I know very well why I kill…”
"No, don't kill me... I didn't do it, I didn't do it, I'll do anything, please let me go."
The woman didn't listen to Lu Ye at all.
She clung to Lu Ye's leg, taking off her clothes to expose her skin, and desperately begging for mercy.
She only realized that the young man in front of her, who looked quite young, was the one who would kill her.
But he didn't know that if he killed himself, would he be hunted down by the capital's police force forever?
That's right, that's how country people are; they don't consider the consequences of their actions.
This kind of low-ability animal is worthless!
But now, in order to survive, they have no choice but to beg for mercy.
Lu Ye suddenly sheathed his knife: "Don't worry, Madam, I won't kill you... There are only two kinds of people in this world: those who have killed and those who haven't. In a sense, we are all killers. And before you tried to harm me, I did receive a lot of help from you. In the end, I wasn't harmed like these people..."
The woman felt a surge of joy.
So, does this mean my life is safe?
But before she could be happy for long, Lu Ye leaned close to her ear, whispering something like a devil's.
"That's right, I won't kill you, because... I don't have the right."
……
"Wow!"
Looking at the abundance of delicacies before him, Iyeas's eyes were filled with shock.
Even Sha You, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but swallow.
The aromas emanating from the various delicacies are enough to whet one's appetite.
Moreover, having grown up in the village, this was the first time they had ever seen such delicious food.
"Hehe, don't worry about it, enjoy it to your heart's content." Arya said, forking up some food and putting it in her mouth first. "Mmm, so sweet."
"Then, then we won't stand on ceremony!"
Seeing how much Arya was enjoying her meal, Ieyas's appetite was whetted.
Under Arya's hospitality, he and Shayou soon began to enjoy a hearty meal.
But Violet remained still.
"What's wrong? Is the food not to your liking?"
"No...it's just that he didn't come back."
After Violet finished speaking, she looked at the note she was holding in her hand.
The only sentence on it was: Do not eat dinner, and do not touch the utensils.
"Oh right, that Lu Ye hasn't come yet, and Mom hasn't come back either. It's been taking way too long."
“Brother Lu Ye must be somewhere right now, fighting evil and upholding justice,” Iyeas said, munching on a chicken leg. “Just like the protagonists in the storybooks in the village, I know he has a kind heart.”
"Haha, the empire is missing out on passionate young people like you!" the host said admiringly.
"Combating evil and maintaining order is too exaggerated. Maybe they just went out for a walk and haven't come back yet?" Sha You said.
Just then, the door was pushed open.
It is Lu Ye.
"Brother Lu Ye, you've come at the perfect time! The dishes today are especially delicious...!"
Iyeas couldn't continue speaking halfway through his sentence.
Because Lu Ye was holding a knife in his right hand, and blood was flowing from the knife.
In his left hand, he was also carrying a cloth bag dripping with blood.
"I'm sorry," Lu Ye smiled, "because the guards at the gate wanted to kill me, so I fought back a little... I didn't expect them to be so weak."
"What... what exactly happened?"
Arya's father was furious.
"Oh, you'll see when you look at this."
Lu Ye threw the cloth bag in his hand away.
The bag landed precisely on the dining table with a dull thud, revealing a few strands of golden hair peeking out from the opening.
The male homeowner seemed to sense something, and his fingers trembled as he opened it.
Arya curiously came closer and then let out a scream.
Because inside the bag was her mother's head!
Upon seeing his wife's misfortune, the husband's expression turned extremely ferocious.
"Don't you have any compassion at all? Guards!!!"
In fact, he didn't need to shout; the guards had already surrounded Lu Ye.
"Brother Lu Ye... what exactly happened?"
Iyeas and Shayou were both dumbfounded.
Because of the angle, they couldn't see what was inside the bag.
“Compassion? I really don’t understand what you’re talking about!” Lu Ye slowly raised his knife.
"Charge them!"
"Drink it all!!"
The guards swarmed forward.
Lu Ye swung his blade, and Violet instantly sprang up from her chair to assist him.
The hall was in complete chaos.
Iyeas and Sayu had no idea what was going on.
On one side is Lu Ye, who saved them from the clutches of the dangerous species.
On one side are the kind-hearted Arya and her family.
For a moment, they had no idea who to help and could only stand there dumbfounded.
But the battle ended quickly.
These guards are nothing but a bunch of good-looking but useless fellows.
