"Oooh. Please let me go."
"Ahhhh, no, no."
"Let me go. let me go. Oooh –"
"Ahhhh –"
Screams and cries of people pleading for mercy sounded in every cell clearly. Listening to it carefully, the trembling and deep terror in them were easily detectable. Yun Che, who had already realized what was going to happen, was about to stand up when Fei Ye grabbed him by the waist and took him into his arms, holding him firmly as a protector. Yun Che subconsciously frowned, but Fei Ye did not tease him with an evil smile like he always did, but stared thoughtfully at those weirdly-dressed people holding machine guns.
"Wah. Mom, dad."
"What are you doing? Don't. Please don't touch my child, please."
"Let go of my son. Let him go…"
Those people not only did not soften their hearts because of their pleas for mercy, but looked like they were immensely enjoying themselves. The one wearing the nose ring suddenly rushed forward and snatched the couple's child away, and the child who was only four or five years old was so scared that he cried. The woman knelt on the ground and grabbed the thigh of the man with the nose ring and begged, and the father also rushed up, trying to retrieve his child.
"Get lost, Lord Devil designates your children to be devil son. This is the supreme honor."
"No –"
As soon as they heard the word devil son, the couple screamed in unison and both rushed forward in an attempt to rescue their child, but the other strangely-dressed people rushed up to separate them.
"Dad – mom –"
"Yi – Yi –"
"Yi –"
The boy was forcibly taken away, and the couple was knocked to the ground by the others, while they were shouting the child's name in desperation. Ignoring the excruciating pain as if their bodies were being taken apart, they tried hard to crawl towards the door.
"Ah –"
"Relax, you guys. As the parents of the devil son, we will also treat you with special kindness."
"Hahahaha –"
Two strangely-dressed men stamped their feet on their back almost at the same time, the couple screaming in pain. The rest of the people got more and more excited. A woman about twenty who was topped with big hair and wearing smoky eyes walked towards Fei Ye and Yun Che, inspecting them from head to toe. Then she stopped in front of them to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth, smiling bizarrely, "I heard that you are also lovers? Don't worry, you will also receive excellent treatment. Haha –"
After the woman finished, she tilted her head and laughed out loud, then turned and left, leaving Fei Ye and Yun Che full of doubts. They also became more cautious. Intuition told them that the situation was even worse than they had imagined.
"Later on, no matter what happens, you have to follow me closely, and you can't walk away. do you understand?"
Without the evilness he usually displayed, as they walked out with the rest of the people, Fei Ye hugged Yun Che and leaned over to whisper in his ear in a voice only the two of them could hear.
"That's for sure, isn't it? You are the one who put me in such situation? If anything happens to me and my child, I will freaking kill you!"
Yun Che glared, not wanting to turn down the protection at all. Since he already knew he was pregnant, he couldn't be reckless anymore.
"Alright. I'm waiting for you to kill me."
Being serious for less than three seconds, Fei Ye once again showed that evil and devilish smile. There was no telling what would happen later, and Yun Che was not in the mood to waste his strength with him. Now they could only take one step at a time.
Around the huge square filled with human skin kites, bonfires were set up ablaze. A lot of benches were placed around. The people who were expelled from the cell were all forced to sit together, Yun Che roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred of them. Each of them had faces muddled by tears, their hearts wretched, and they were so desperate that they couldn't even scream.
Fei Ye took Yun Che to sit at the back of the crowd. The two of them raised their heads to take a closer look. There were many people standing or sitting in other places of the square, and there were at least thousands of them. They were cheering excitedly like madmen, while a huge bonfire was burning in the center of the square, and a high platform was built diagonally opposite, with a huge chair on it, which should be the exclusive throne of the Lord Devil.
"Wah wah – Mom, dad –"
The child's cries suddenly pierced through all the sound into the ears of Fei Ye and Yun Che, the two looking over at where the sound came, only to see that the child they had previously snatched had been stripped naked and was soaked and bathed in the steaming hot water by several women. A normal bath would be fine, but the brush in their hands left blood marks on the boy every time they brushed his skin. The boy screamed for his dad and his mom in pain. Yun Che thought he was already cold-blooded, but seeing the child's misery, he couldn't help but feel sympathy. Finally, he simply turned his gaze away. Now he couldn't even save himself, let alone save others.
"Yi – Yi –"
The boy's parents shouted in pain, and they tried again and again to struggle forward and rescue their boy, but each time they were kicked to the ground by those strangely-dressed people, until they could no longer stand up, and could only reach out their hands in the direction of the child. They shouted the boy's name, blood dripping from their mouths.
"Mind your fetus and stop looking at them."
As if he had guessed what was going to happen next, Fei Ye suddenly leaned close to Yun Che and whispered. But humans were strange. They would like to do exactly what they were told not to do. Yun Che raised his head without thinking.
"Ah…"
As the child was washed clean and covered in blood, those peopled pulled him out of the bath tub, and four strangely-dressed people went up and grabbed his hands and feet respectively, making him floating with his face down. Another man picked up a sharp knife and slid it across the boy's neck, blood immediately shotting out and dripping right into a large wooden barrel placed below. The boy convulsed and died.
"Oh…"
Yun Che thought this was already extremely cruel, but they obviously underestimated those people. After the boy's blood ran out, the man who had previously cut his throat with a knife picked up another sharp iron rod about two meters long and thick as a finger, stuck it in his mouth and directly penetrated his entire body, and finally put him on a special huge barbecue grill to roast. Seeing this, Yun Che could no longer help himself but retch. The perverted cruelty of these people far exceeded his imagination. How could people become so brutal in doomsday?
Yun Che, who believed that he had already understood the cruelty of the doomsday, couldn't help but start to re-examine the doomsday again. How many more things like this were there in the country? He was never someone compassionate, nor was he a good person, and he had killed countless people. Even so, he could not accept such bloody, cruel and inhumane killings.
"I told you not to look, but you wouldn't listen to me. If you give birth to a little pervert in the future, you can't blame it on me."
Fei Ye patted his back and smoothed his breath while muttering in a low voice. He seemed to have forgotten that his mission was to kill Yun Che, so if Yun Che really gave birth to a child safely, wouldn't his mission be considered a failure?
"Oh… shit… If you didn't poison me, I would have exterminated them in a minute."
It was so cruel. They were fucking monsters.
"Alright, alright. It's my fault, okay? You should be mentally prepared, as there might be more disgusting things coming…"
"Lord Devil!"
"Lord Devil!"
"Lord Devil!"
Before Fei Ye could finish, a chorus of cries suddenly sounded in the square. The two of them looked up and saw a short, dark dwarf wearing the kind of cape often seen in Western vampire movies walking over, holding a glass container containing a horn of some beast. He was surrounded by at least twenty or thirty people, all wearing capes and a pair of underwear, as if they were playing Superman. However, there was no denying that they could never be the Superman who saved the world.
[Divine beast qilin. Master, where the hell are you? How come there is the aura of a qilin?]
Suddenly, Heiyu spoke. Yun Che who was watching the dwarf was started, and soon lowered his eyes again, pretending that nothing unusual had happened.
[What qilin? There is no … No, there is a person soaking the horn of some beast in a glass container and holding it in his hand. That couldn't be a qilin's horn, could it?
As he communicated with Heiyu, Yun Che again looked up at the dwarf, only this time he focused on the horn rather than the man. At first, he thought it was the horn of a rhinoceros or some rare bovine, but with a closer look, he realized that the horn was huge, about half a meter long, and its thickest part was comparable to the arm of an adult. It was milky white, and how could a normal bovine's horn be milky white?
[That's not possible. Qilin was the highest-level divine beast and no one can lay their hand on its horn, unless it cut off its horn by itself.]
Heiyu was obviously unwilling to believe that the qilin's horn would appear alone, so Yun Che briefly described the appearance of the horn again. For a long time, Heiyu remained in silence. Just when he thought that Heiyu had unilaterally cut off the contact, he spoke again.
[If it is really as you described, then it can be qilin's horn. As I said earlier, qilin is one of the highest-level divine beasts, symbolizing light and justice. In the outside world, the only divine beast that will appear is the Space guardian beast who hides itself at the bottom of the sea. So this horn should belong to him. Though I had no idea why how his horn is here, it is certain that it must have been chopped off by himself. I think it is most possible that he chopped off his horn in order to suppress something. Unfortunately, the qilin's horn is now in the hand of others, which means that whatever he was willing to hurt himself to suppress has escaped, which is most likely to be the zombie virus.]
[What?!]
Yun Che stared in disbelief. Fearing that others might notice his abnormality, he hurriedly lowered his head again. If Heiyu was right, then the doomsday came because someone found and took the qilin's horn? And the reason why they couldn't use their superfunction was also because of the qilin's horn? The more Yun Che thought about it, the more he felt angry, and he wanted to immedicably rush to the bottom of the sea to find the so-called qilin and ask for clarification.
[Master, you have to get the qilin's horn. It might make huge difference in the future.]
Though he was not certain what specific effect it would have, he was sure it definitely would be useful.
[I would like to, but the problem is that I am now completely restrained, so how am I supposed to take it? I will be considered lucky if I can save my own life. Damn it, it is all because of that pervert Fei Ye.]
Yun Che didn't want to be resentful like a coward, but how could he not be? His powerful strength was constrained, and he was taken to this disgusting place, and the most freaking depressing thing was that he was actually sure that he was pregnant. At this time, it had undoubtedly made things worse.
"What's wrong? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
As if sensing his resentment, Fei Ye asked with concern. Now they were no longer killer and prey, but a bit like close partners. However, Yun Che knew it was not the case at all, and the reason why Fei Ye was good to his was probably because he feared that others would ruin his artwork.
