Asking for Fei Ye’s Help to Fight Back

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the monthly bonfire party in the devil's den. I am your Lord Devil, Satan, the supreme being of the demons. We will rule the world. My people, please cheer for the grand ceremony of the devil's den!"

"Whoo! Yeah! Whoo!…"

"Lord Devil! Lord Devil! Lord Devil!"

The dwarf stood on a high platform holding a microphone and spoke loudly. The "smart" looking gangsters below him cheered excitedly, and scene looked unprecedentedly lively. If you ignored the scared prisoners who were as pale as a sheet, this would be undoubtedly a lively carnival.

"Well, before the party starts, let's have some sideshows and welcome our special guests."

"What are you doing…no…"

"No… let go of me…"

"Ahhh…"

When the dwarf finished his words, a dozen gangsters came towards the prisoners. Everyone started screaming, and some stood up and attempted to run, but they were immediately caught back. Those who were so frightened that their legs could not support them could only watch the gangsters walk into them and select some from them. When one of them stood in front of Yun Che, Fei Ye took him in his arms, and another guy leaned in the first guy's ear and whispered something, and then he smiled maliciously at them and just walked away.

"No, no… please don't…"

"Ahhhh…"

"Ha, ha…you'll get what you deserve, you'll burn in hell …"

About ten people were picked out, among whom was the mad man sharing the same cell with Yun Che. He wasn't crying and begging for mercy like the others, but was cursing them loudly with blood and tears. They were brought to the square, where a huge iron cage was already placed, and inside it was a zombie roaring constantly, probably level-2 who was unable to use superfunctions, yearning for fresh flesh and blood out of instinct.

"You really can't detoxify me without using your superfunction?"

Yun Che asked Fei Ye through his gritted teeth. It was pretty obvious what they wanted to do. He had never thought himself as a soft-hearted person, and he had not much mercy, but at this moment, he wanted to do good, he wanted to raze this place to the ground and destroy all those brutal bastards!

"Maybe I can, but I don't know."

Because he had never tried before. For a killer, detoxification was the least needed, so he had never studied it.

"Shit!"

Yun Che clenched his fists. He had never felt so suffocated before, not even in his previous life. Even when he had been dying, he had used willpower against tremendous pain to break through the effect of the inhibitor and had dragged everyone to hell with him. But now, was there really nothing he could do but watch it?

"Fei Ye, I don't care if you are a killer or you are very used to this kind of thing, because I could never get used to it. Now we have only one way out, and I need your help."

No, he couldn't just watch and did nothing. The screams from the square were too sharp and shrill; anyone with a bit of humanity couldn't just stand aside. Yun Che, who had made up his mind, suddenly leaned into Fei Ye's arms and whispered in his ear in a voice that no one else could hear, "Don't talk or ask questions. Listen to me. According to my observations, your superfunctions can't be used probably because of the horn in that dwarf's hand. We must get the horn, and only you and I can do this."

As long as Fei Ye could recover his superfunctions, Yun Che could be detoxified, and then…he would write his name upside down if he didn't raze this place to the ground!

Fei ye wrapped his arm around his shoulders, and casually glanced at the horn held by the dwarf on the high platform. "In our current state, I guess we will be stopped before we get close to the high platform."

He had already observed and noticed that those gangsters could use their superfunctions. He believed that he could dodge bullets with his skill, but superfunctions were of too many forms and he was not sure that he could dodge them. Moreover, he had to take care of Yun Che, which would hold him back, undoubtedly multiplying the difficulty.

"I know, but since those people said they would entertain us specially, they will definitely let me participate in some of their perverted games. Then we will have a chance to get close to the high platform. With your skill, you should be able to rush to take the horn before they react, I suppose?"

Looking up at Fei Ye, Yun Che couldn't explain why, but he just believed that Fei Ye would be able to do it.

"Tsk tsk…I'm flattered. Are you not afraid that I might just take you away directly when my superfunctions are back, turning a blind eye to whatever happens those people? As you said, I am a killer, so I am used to such bloodiness."

Obviously, Fei Ye hadn't expected that he would have thought so highly of him, and his mouth curled into a devilish kind of smile again. Yun Che raised his head to meet his gaze and said clearly and firmly, "No, you won't!"

Don't ask him why, but instinct told him that Fei Ye was different from those people.

"Eh?"

It seemed that no one had ever said anything like that to him so firmly. Fei Ye was startled. Complicated emotions flashed through his eyes quickly, and calmed down almost in a blink of an eye. "No, I won't. They are too vulgar and therefore shouldn't continue to live."

He tightened his clasp, and a flash of killing intent flashed past. This was the first time Yun Che saw killing intent on him. He hadn't seen it even when he had said about how to torture him.

"So let's do it, let's destroy them all, deal?"

"Deal."

The two reached an agreement with their eyes. In the meanwhile, the brutal and bloody game on the square was still going on. The selected prisoners were pushed into the cage one by one, leaving them fighting with the zombie with their bare hands. If they could kill the zombie, not only could they survive, but they could also leave the devil's den. But the zombie and all had already scared the wits out of those people; some of them were eaten by the zombie that fell on them before they could react, let alone killing it with bare hands. Watching the zombie tearing off their flesh made those gangsters more and more excited, and their deafening cheering soared into the night sky.

The brutal game lasted for nearly an hour, and then several even more cruel and bloody games were staged in turn. It was too disgusting, and Yun Che had been forcing his head down without looking up, his nails sinking into the palms of his hands. The number of prisoners kept decreasing, at least one third fewer than the beginning.

A few hours later, the dwarf claimed that they were going to share with them the meat of the devil's child, and then he brought a plate of roasted human meat to them and forced them to eat it. Those who refused to eat would be immediately thrown to feed the zombies. And particularly, the husband and wife, they were forced to eat a lot. And when it was brought to Yun Che, he reflexively wanted to break the plate, but Fei Ye grabbed the plate before him, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. Then he pretended to stuff the meat into Yun Che's mouth in the blind spot of those people, and motioned him to pretend to be chewing. Yun Che didn't know how he'd done this trick, but for the sake of their plan, he had to endure it, and wriggle his cheeks as if he had been chewing. Because the expression on his face was too grave, he easily fooled those people.

"It's scorched. Tastes horrible."

After those people left, Fei Ye whispered coldly, and Yun Che raised his head abruptly, "Did you really eat it?"

Shit, how could he? But what Fei Ye replied him then silenced Mu Yun's complaint.

"If I don't eat it, how do you think we can fool them so easily? Don't forget that you are pregnant; mind your prenatal education."

So, did he eat it to cover for him?

Yun Che couldn't help but stare. Was he really just simply afraid of others destroying his artwork? Although there were countless things like exchanging children and eating them in the doomsday, especially in the later period when food was in severe shortage. But under such a circumstance as watching the boy being tortured, roasted and divided as food, he did not believe anyone could really eat it easily, even Fei Ye; those gangsters who were no longer human beings were excluded, of course.

"It looks like our turn."

"What?"

Yun Che followed his gaze and saw that the dwarf picked up the microphone again. Based on previous experience, there would definitely be games more brutal waiting for them every time he spoke.

"…It's late, and it's time for our bonfire party to come to the climax. Let's welcome our most special guests!"

After a long meaningless prologue, the dwarf raised his left hand, and immediately, the whole square was burst into cheers. On the contrary, the prisoners were once again caught in terrible fear, because a few gangsters were coming towards way. Fei Ye's premonition turned out to be right. This time they selected people in pairs, including Fei Ye and Yun Che who had claimed to be lovers.

"Let's express our gratitude to the five pairs of guests with the warmest cheers and applause."

"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"

"Shhhh…"

As the other eight people begged for mercy, the dwarf shouted again, and the others cheered more vigorously, just like pumped with adrenalin. Yun Che and the others were pushed to the square. The bare-chested bearded guy they had seen during the day sized them up maliciously, and then ordered someone to pull out a level-2 zombie.

"The next game is called 'Run, My Love'. You will be chased by the zombie, and the one of the two of you who survived can leave right away."

The rule was very simple: one lived while the other died. But it was very cruel because apart from the fake couple—Fei Ye ang Yun Che, there were a father and son, the son at most ten years old, sallow and emaciated yet with dark and bright eyes; there were the couple whose son had been tortured and killed; the others were a mother and daughter, and a young couple less that twenty although very haggard-looking. The demons were simply testing these people in a cruel way using their desire for living, forcing them to become as inhumane as they were.

"Then what if we kill the zombie? Can both of us leave?"

At a time like this, no one except Fei Ye could ask such a question. The others were holding each other and shivering in terror, crying and begging for mercy.

Obviously, the bearded man hadn't expected anyone to be so calm. He did a double take before he sneered, "try to survive first."

Obviously, he didn't think they could kill the zombie with bare hands.

"We can't leave out any possibility, can we? What if we really kill that zombie?"

Not only did Fei Ye not be frightened by him, but also, he wore his symbolic devilish smile with Yun Che in his arms. At the same time, the two of them were quietly evaluating the possibility of their plan. They were now standing right opposite the high platform. If they were to approach the platform, they must first participate in the game and wait until they were cornered by the zombie to the high platform. They got only one chance. If they failed, they were dead.
