The King of Curses
Chapter 124 What to do? The only option is to kill.
Chapter 124 What to do? The only option is to kill.
“you……!”
Shao Jiayu didn’t understand what the girl said, but she was really scared just now.
Yi Qingyan’s expression was still calm, but when the little girl smiled, Shao Jiayu seemed to see a huge shadow rising from behind her, and beneath that shadow was an unfathomable pool and a hell that imprisoned countless suffering souls.
When Shao Jiayu came to her senses, she found herself covered in cold sweat, gasping for breath, and her mind was blank. The feeling of suffocation caused by not being able to breathe for a long time made her desperately breathe in fresh air, like a drowning person who had just been rescued.
At this time, Yi Qingyan had already walked to a deeper place.
……
The smell of blood became stronger, mixed with the smell of corruption and decay.
The area at the back was more like a prison cell than a cubicle. Men like skeletons suffered here, their wills were scattered, they had forgotten how to call for help, and only in their blank eyes could they reveal a bit of human sadness.
Their hands and feet were shackled with iron chains. One of them even had his wrists fixed to the wall behind him with iron nails. If they tried to struggle or escape, the rusty metal would rub directly against the cold metal, causing unbearable pain.
“It’s really cruel.”
“They…are all bad people…”
“Bad guy?”
Because he is a bad guy, he deserves the punishment?
Yi Qingyan didn’t know what these men had done. Maybe they were innocent and were just being targeted by a group of psychopathic women. Or maybe they were really just a bunch of scum.
In fact, it would be meaningless even if she knew it, because she would never make a judgment on this issue.
Although Yi Qingyan has always hated the evil and injustice of human nature, she has never claimed to be the judge of sin.
After all, if sins are divided into “light” and “heavy” in the eyes of people, then according to common sense, one should choose to “kill” or “not kill” based on the severity of the sin.
This is the law governing the operation of human society. The laws of any country throughout history have followed this law. Even the heaven and underworld in myths and legends are like this… Perhaps, this is order.
However, this does not constrain the King of Equality.
As always, she kills when she feels it is time to kill.
In fact, even if the laws in the past could still restrain ordinary people relatively perfectly; but facing the new era, how to deal with the curse masters is another problem.
If a curse master and an ordinary person committed the same crime, would they receive the same punishment? Absolutely not.
In the end, only in my hands can everyone…
Yi Qingyan’s eyes flickered slightly.
……
Finally, the girl reached the end of this vast underground space.
As expected, there was a faint panting sound.
The man curled up inside… no, using the word “man” to describe him seems too gentle. He has been deprived of nutrition for a long time, but cannot die due to some supernatural power. Now he is as thin as a dwarf, and even more like a deformed child.
It was a tragic sight after going through all kinds of torture. It seemed as if one could see from the dry and fresh bloodstains and wounds that the woman who imprisoned him here had a strong hatred and would not stop torturing him until death.
His pupils were gray, like a dying fish thrown onto the shore, having lost most of its vision and becoming turbid, looking at the world sadly.
His life has no meaning at all as he continues to live in this world like this.
Yi Qingyan could tell at a glance that this man was determined to die.
“……I see.”
She flicked her fingers.
……
Shao Jiayu didn’t dare to get close, but just hugged her “boyfriend” tightly in her arms, the boy named Sui Zhiyong. He foolishly let the woman hug him.
She smelled a terrifying ominous odor and didn’t even dare to go and see it in person.
So, when she heard a “rolling” sound, she looked over in confusion and saw a round shadow slowly rolling to the side, she didn’t even realize what was happening.
What followed was a noticeably stronger smell of blood in the air. A splashing shadow was reflected on the wall, shooting out like a small fountain, and blood scattered everywhere like snowflakes in winter.
Large drops of blood splattered onto the walls and the curtains of the guardrails, dyeing the dirty cloth bright red.
The strong feeling of uneasiness was like a devil’s claw grabbing the heart. She could only stand there blankly, looking at the terrible traces that kept spreading on the ground. The dampness spread all the way to her feet. The woman’s ears could hear the sound of water dripping like raindrops, as if it was an auditory hallucination.
“W-What are you doing?!”
Shao Jiayu screamed. Her face was pale and she was obviously in great mental shock.
Although she had luckily become a beginner curse-master and had encountered certain things, seeing a living person being beheaded was still beyond her psychological endurance as she was just an ordinary college student some time ago.
“Don’t you believe that he is a bad guy?”
Yi Qingyan turned around.
She tilted her head, as if puzzled by the woman’s overreaction.
After a long time, Shao Jiayu, with a pale face, stammered and answered.
“But…but I won’t kill him…”
She stared at the high school girl in front of her again. She couldn’t see a knife or any other killing tools in her hand. She was completely unarmed.
“Why and how did you do it…”
If Shao Jiayu had been more attentive, she might have noticed that although Yi Qingyan used the method of chopping off the head, which would cause blood to gush out of the arteries, according to common sense, after using this method of killing with the strongest visual stimulation, the killer’s entire body should be covered in blood…
However, the girl today is not stained with blood or dust.
Something tiny, yet solid and huge, invisible, covered her body, creating an inviolable territory.
That is an “alien space” that is beyond the reach of human beings today. Even though it is very close, you cannot reach it with your hands, like a natural chasm.
“He was determined to die, and I allowed it.”
“This, this is too cruel…”
cruel?
Yi Qingyan glanced at the other person strangely.
For an ordinary person, chopping off an entire head would require a lot of strength and sharp tools, otherwise there would not have been a specialized profession of executioner in ancient times; but for Yi Qingyan, the human body structure was not an obstacle at all, so she made such a choice.
She was used to treating curse masters as opponents, and their abilities were rich and varied. Parts of the body that were fatal to ordinary people might not necessarily be fatal to them.
If the opponent has a body that may not die even if the heart is dug out, other attacks that cause additional wounds will only add to the pain.
Yi Qingyan showed her will to everyone: she had no hatred or personal grudges against the people she killed, and she did not want them to suffer. She was determined to make the pain only appear in the moment before the victim died.
The most convenient method is to separate their thinking organs from their bodies.
No matter how evil the other party had done, she would kill him with one blow. Only when it was necessary, such as when she wanted to get an answer or seek information, would she choose not to kill him at the first opportunity.
This is respect for life itself, and more importantly, it is her control over her own desires.
We must not allow killing using “Infernal Hell” to become a pleasure, as this will become a disaster for the world.
Yi Qingyan suppressed her thoughts and walked towards the door.
“W-what do you want to do?!”
Shao Jiayu was stunned with shock, but the next second, the man’s head fell down not far from her. This time it was too close and the blood sprayed directly on her body.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!”
Shao Jiayu screamed, and she and her boyfriend in her arms were covered in blood.
Yi Qingyan just took a step forward and passed by the other person.
Wherever the footsteps passed, the heads of the imprisoned people flew up one by one, and the blood rain that fell from the sky fell on the faces of the remaining men who were confused due to mental manipulation. Most of the people in the cages suffered more than just physical torture. The people who cast the curse had the ability to interfere with people’s hearts, so they would naturally not be lenient towards those who were being retaliated against.
Under the withered body, there is only an empty or turbid soul. Even if they can escape and be taken care of by chance, they can only spend the rest of their lives in a mental hospital.
If the deceived young men still have a chance of waking up, the remaining men who have been truly punished are beyond cure. They have already turned into idiots, more like pieces of meat with residual consciousness than human beings.
Yi Qingyan gave them the final freedom.
But to others, everything before their eyes looked like a scene from hell.
“Ah… ah ah…”
Driven by her survival instinct, Shao Jiayu subconsciously stepped back, trying to escape the large pool of blood in front of her, but she completely forgot that there was a pool of slippery and wet blood under her feet. Her feet slipped and she sat down on the ground.
She screamed again, and scattered the falling blood from her head, this time covering his entire body without any mercy.
……
Yi Qingyan walked out of the basement and headed upstairs at a leisurely pace.
The hot and noisy atmosphere indicated that the celebration above was not over yet, but when she reached the first floor, she heard Guo Cui’e’s suppressed growl of gloom and anger.
“I heard from you that there are people watching in the basement…”
“Yes, yes, I asked the new sister to…”
“But the door to the basement has been opened! All the seals on it have been broken–“
The atmosphere was as gloomy as before a storm, and the sound of Yi Qingyan’s footsteps on the floor was like the rolling thunder in the clouds.
When she is determined to kill someone openly, she will not hide her tracks.
Then, at the moment when the warm atmosphere froze, all the sounds in the bar seemed to be taken away, and it became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
In this situation, only Yi Qingyan’s footsteps could be heard clearly, and everyone’s eyes turned to her at the same time.
Yi Qingyan bathed in their gaze; the women had different expressions, some were surprised, some were panicked, some were confused… She felt all kinds of emotions.
“I saw the basement and discovered the secrets you wanted to hide.”
The girl’s tone was calm.
“Why do you do this?”
Guo Cui’e looked gloomy.
She was thinking about how to solve the current situation. The woman did not realize how terrifying the girl in front of her was, but she at least knew that her brother was an extremely powerful spell-forbidden master and she was no match for him.
If what happened in the basement were to be exposed, they would be in big trouble.
So, murder to silence the witness…?
The timing was too bad. Even if they did this, as close siblings, the man who noticed something was wrong would definitely come to them immediately. So they had to escape immediately and flee from this city.
Guo Cui’e was frantically thinking about a solution, but her deputy was not nervous at all. Instead, she smiled and said:
“Little sister, you are a girl like us.”
“so……?”
“So, you should understand our idea. Why not join us now? The sisters will teach you how to do it, and you can manipulate and play with those stupid men at will.”
“You want me to do evil like you guys?”
“This is not about doing evil, but about getting compensation.”
Yi Qingyan blinked.
“Are you sure that all the men you have imprisoned, punished, and mentally interfered with have committed crimes?”
“No, it’s not that simple…”
The woman in professional attire became serious. She thought she was stating a truth, a correct concept, and the high school girl in front of her was the best “missionary target”.
“——All men in this world have original sin.”
“…”
Yi Qingyan was confused, she tilted her head as if to ask “What are you talking about?”
“Don’t you understand? The status of us women has been oppressed throughout history, and it has not been properly improved until modern times, so compensation is needed. Now we finally have the power to resist this order…”
……
This was the first time that King Pingdeng had encountered such a person;
And in the future, she will encounter it more than once.
Different from those they had killed with their own hands before, what they talked about before they died was not their personal past, but often for the “group”, for “concepts”, and for “values” – at least that’s what they thought.
History, oppression… ah, what difficult words.
Yi Qingyan didn’t think what the woman said was wrong, just as she would never affirm that anyone’s values were correct.
She just didn’t give a shit.
Gender, nationality, class, religion… People in the world will always have various identities, backgrounds composed of complex historical factors and completely different positions, which will make the struggle continue endlessly and make things always get worse and worse.
Yi Qingyan doesn’t understand it now, but when she grows up to be an adult, she may not understand it.
But whether she understood or not, her approach has never changed.
Just looking forward to the answer at this moment.
Just answer the current confusion.
Just kill the evil ones in front of you.
“Is this the reason why you do evil? This is really…”
It was a little fresh and a little unexpected, but it was precisely because of this that Yi Qingyan felt emotional.
With just such an empty excuse, he could actually think that he was on the side of justice, convince himself to do evil, and even attract a group of people of the same kind…
Yes, human nature is so fragile.
“People’s hearts are full of confusion.”
The world is filled with injustice, and the people here are like living in a burning house, with no peace in their lifetime.
How to do?
what to do……
Yi Qingyan lowered her eyes and hid her face in the shadows.
She is clearly a young girl, but if a painter could depict her silhouette at that moment, the painting would surely remind people of the statues of gods worshipped in temples, looking at the troubled people and showing compassion with their heads bowed.
–what to do?
Only killing.
……
“puff!”
The woman standing among more than 20 sisters never thought that she would die so easily. When heads flew off, there was still a trace of passion on her face.
“…”
After a moment of silence.
“Ahhhh——!”
A shrill scream tore through the silent night and made the sign of the Red Dust Bar outside even redder.
