"Tsk tsk, look at this pitiful appearance. Why are you so stubborn?”Cha looked at Chihaya's miserable state and sneered. She did not expect Chihaya to be able to endure such torture for so long. Even she, who came from that kind of place, did not dare to try divination. Just thinking about it made her shudder. If it weren't for her strong mental fortitude, she would probably have nightmares at night when she saw those people who had been tortured by Divination.
Chihaya completely ignored the mockery in her ears and immersed herself in her own world. Cha had never liked Chihaya's good looks. Seeing that Chihaya did not even look at her, as if she did not exist, he was so angry that his actions became heavier. Chihaya's manicured nails easily drew red marks on her face, almost causing her to bleed.
Fortunately, she held back at the last moment. She looked at the scar on Chihaya's face with lingering fear and heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that it was not deep. Cha had just sneaked over to take a look without Shi knowing. If she accidentally hurt someone and Shi found out, she would suffer. However, it was also because of this that her malice towards Chihaya increased instead of decreasing. She constantly hoped that Chihaya would hand over the inheritance as soon as possible so that she would not have to worry about her temper and could abuse Chihaya as she pleased.
"Hmph, consider yourself lucky." Cha retracted his hand and looked at Chihaya unwillingly before leaving angrily.
The surroundings fell into dead silence again. Chihaya lowered her head and emptied her thoughts. The medicine that Shen had used on her woke her up. No matter how exhausted her body was, she could not fall asleep. Even if she closed her eyes, she would only be facing a dark void. She might as well open her eyes. At least there was something to divert her attention.
Chihaya stared at the ground in a daze in the dim basement. Chihaya couldn't see the sky outside, nor did she have anything that showed the time. She had no way of knowing how long she had been in the basement. It seemed like a long time had passed, but it also seemed like it hadn't. The broken bones on her body had completely healed. She didn't know if she had thought that everything before was just an illusion.
While she was counting the time in boredom, Shi came to the basement again. He looked very satisfied when he saw Chihaya recovering well. He slowly put on his coat and gloves in front of Chihaya. The first thing he said made Chihaya understand what time it was."It seems like yesterday's torture didn't work on you. Let's change the way we play today.”
After preparing everything, Shi took out a small thorny ball from the cabinet. Chihaya was confused at first about what such a small thing could do, but her subsequent actions and the changes in the spike ball made her realize that she had underestimated these seemingly insignificant things. It was unknown how Shi did it, but the thorny ball slowly unfolded. At a speed visible to the naked eye, it turned from a ball into a slender vine in his hand.
Under Shi's control, the vine curled up and floated in the air. Following his will, it floated towards Chihaya, who was still a little surprised. Starting from the bottom of his feet, it coiled around his neck. As the vines tightened, the thorns pierced through the thin fabric and pierced into Chihaya's soft skin.
Blood flowed out of the wound and quickly dyed his clothes red. The barbs were deeply embedded in his skin. Except for a few places, they covered his entire body. Therefore, with countless wounds, the amount of blood that flowed out was considerable. In just a moment, Chihaya was covered in blood. The ground below her was also covered in blood, and it was a dazzling red.
Shi just stood there and watched as blood flowed out of Chihaya's body. The air was filled with the smell of blood. He grabbed one end of the vine in his hand. Once the blood flow slowed down, he would pull it with force. As a result, Chihaya's self-healing ability was not strong to begin with. In addition to Shi's occasional pulling, the barbs brushed past the wound and formed a long and thin wound.
The healing speed could not keep up with the speed at which the wound was formed. The old wound had not healed yet, and a new wound was added, and it was even a wound that was drawn on the original foundation. It was as if he was tearing open a wound that had yet to heal, and blood kept flowing out. After a period of continuous bleeding, Chihaya's face, which had regained some color after a night, turned as pale as paper again.
The ground under her feet was also covered in blood, and her body was still bleeding. Blood flowed down her calf to her fair feet, then slid to the ground, splashing a little blood. A faint dripping sound rang in their ears. Chihaya closed her eyes and felt the exhaustion caused by the excessive loss of blood in her body. Shi looked at the blood, and his eyes lit up.
After the pain of his broken bones yesterday, Shi felt that using other tools would not have much effect on his body. Therefore, the main purpose of using the method of bleeding this time was not to make her feel pain, but to let her experience the feeling of losing life force caused by the loss of blood. This slow process of losing blood and the feeling of gradually losing strength must have tested one's will.
Just as Shi had expected, Chihaya was not affected by the pain caused by the barbs. This pain was much lighter than yesterday's broken bones. It was as if he had been bitten by a few insects. What she felt the most was the various symptoms brought about by the loss of blood. The excessive loss of blood made her a little dizzy, and her body felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar. It was bone-chilling. However, the effects of the medicine were still there. No matter how powerless she was, she could not make herself faint. She could clearly feel the loss of her vitality. She did not feel good at all.
Although Shi did not like to be stained with blood, he liked to see others stained with blood on his hands. The bright red color and the thick smell of blood that filled his nose stimulated the sadistic pleasure in his heart. Only in this way could he clearly see the pain of others. It was much more pleasant than losing a hand or a foot without seeing blood.
In the past, because of his talent, he was not tortured by those humans like Tu. It could be said that he was lucky to have been taken away by a strange old man. He was locked in a laboratory with snow-white walls all day long, and he was always faced with bottles and jars, as well as all kinds of medicines. The only person he came into contact with was wearing a white coat all day long. Even he was not spared.
What he had to do every day was to learn and master the ingredients of those medicines, as well as the profound knowledge of how to mix them and what effects they had. If it wasn't for his good memory, he wouldn't even be able to eat. That person had said that if one could not remember and master what he taught that day, there would be no food to eat.
What he remembered the most were the snow-white walls and the monotonous daily life. When Cha appeared, he no longer needed to learn anything from that person. He could even develop new medicines on his own. When he was tired of his boring life, his partner led the others to rebel and encouraged him to join them.
It was from that day onwards that he discovered his hidden nature. Seeing the blood and corpses on the ground, he was not calm, but not disgusted or afraid. Instead, he was trembling with excitement. Shi suddenly had an impulse. He wanted to see more, more blood. He wanted to see the terrified and distorted expressions of others. Just thinking about it made him excited.
After escaping from that place, they hid their identities and joined an organization to work for them. Shi, who had discovered his special interest, chose to be behind-the-scenes. Cha would go to the front of the scene, while he would spend his free time making potions. If he encountered a difficult target, he would hand it over to him to execute the punishment. With him around, no one could hold on for too long. Their cooperation was very good.
He recalled how he had personally killed the old man who had taught him medicine. At that time, the ground was covered in blood, and the old man's broken body made him frown in displeasure. That was the first time he had done it himself, so he couldn't help but be a little heavy-handed, causing blood to splatter everywhere. He seemed to recall the sticky feeling on his body back then and had goosebumps all over his body. It was as if he was feeling it again at this moment.
He then looked down at his clothes. They were very clean and there was not a trace of blood. His feet were also far enough away from the puddle of blood. After confirming that he did not touch anything that made him uncomfortable, his furrowed brows relaxed. He subconsciously tightened his grip, and the barbs went deeper.
Chihaya felt like she was suffocating. The vines wrapped around her body were too tight, and the sharp barbs almost pierced her bones. Unfortunately, after a long time, she was extremely numb to pain. Her eyes were a little unfocused, and her lips were unbelievably white. For some reason, she felt like she was going to die. She had lost so much blood that she could not bleed out anymore.
Her head was dizzy, and she couldn't feel the rest of her body. Chihaya closed her eyes weakly, and her breathing became weaker and weaker. She thought that if she died now, Zero would definitely know. Then, Little Yan would also know. They would be sad for her. But she couldn't go back. She was very tired and wanted to sleep.
When she returned to her senses, she realized that Chihaya was almost on her last breath. She was a little annoyed that she had been distracted by her past memories. At the same time, she quickly took out the medicine she had prepared earlier and fed it to him. He would not allow this girl to die so early. It was only the second day, and there were still so many things that had not been used.
Furthermore, Chihaya was too stubborn and didn't say a word. He did not forget that his main goal was not to torture the other party, but to make the other party hand over the inheritance. She didn't get the item, and her interest wasn't satisfied. Shi wouldn't let her die just like that. Fortunately, she was still breathing, so he could still save her.
The muddle-headed Chihaya felt a cool water flow into her mouth. She subconsciously swallowed it and then realized her situation. She felt a little regretful that she didn't die. She was already prepared, but she was pulled back from the gates of hell by Shi. If that was the case, who knew how long he would have to endure the torture. The corners of his lips twitched, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
"Death is an impossible wish for you. Unless you hand over the thing, you can continue to hold on.”Shi could tell that Chihaya was determined to die, so he coldly reminded her of the fact that she was not in control of her own life. Then, he ignored her reaction and allowed the vines to tie her up before leaving again. He felt that it was time to think about how to pry Chihaya's mouth open faster.
