"Was it you who orchestrated this, Li Hun? Come out here. Stop pretending. You're not dead at all. There's no need to scare us like this. If you're a man, let's talk openly and honestly."
The four men stared intently at the distance ahead; they had a premonition that Li Hun would definitely come out.
Ultimately, fueled by resentment and unable to contain himself, Li Hun did indeed emerge.
"I'm out. Let's talk. What do you want to talk about?"
Standing in the darkness were Zhang San and his group of four; at the point of light stood Li Hun. There seemed to be nothing amiss, yet the person lying on the ground bore Li Hun's face—two identical faces appearing in the same space.
Even knowing that Li Hun in front of them was human, Zhang San and the others still couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts.
"Li Hun, what exactly do you want to do?"
Li Hun quickly came to an answer as to what he needed to do.
"What will I do? Of course, it's an eye for an eye. You broke my leg back then, and now I'll break yours. Only when your legs are broken too will I be satisfied."
That's what he said, but that's not what he really thought. Li Hun had already made up his mind.
The broken leg happened two years ago. Two years later, he wanted their lives. After all, two years had passed, and he needed to collect some interest. He gave them his lives, and then they would be even.
"Bullshit, Li Hun, what right do you have to talk about retribution? If anyone should repay, it's you repaying us."
Upon hearing this, Zhang San was the first to stand up and spit.
Although Zhao Zhao and the others didn't do it as obviously as Zhang San, their expressions were the same. They really couldn't understand how Li Hun could have the nerve to say such a thing.
"Li Hun, all these years you've been spreading rumors that we forced Li Su, and that you broke your leg to save her. What, have you forgotten why we broke your leg in the first place? You don't actually think you're a savior who saved Li Su, do you?"
These words were spoken by Zhao Zhao, who was so enraged that he forgot about the strange surroundings.
Furthermore, even if they hadn't forgotten, the appearance of the living Li Hun was enough to prove that their ghost wall was Li Hun's doing. With people right in front of them, what was there to be afraid of?
Awakened by Zhao Zhao's words, Li Hun's expression became even more unpleasant than when he was facing Long Tian.
Just like Zhao Zhao said, as the story spread, he almost forgot how he broke his leg. Over the past two years, he had brainwashed himself into believing that he broke his leg while saving Li Su.
This is why he felt at ease watching Li's mother torment Li Su day after day, but when someone pointed it out, he felt much worse.
"What, Li Hun, you remembered?"
Li Hun made no attempt to conceal it; his expression changed in an instant, which Zhang San and the others saw clearly.
Although they went a bit too far in breaking Li Hun's leg, they didn't regret it. If they hadn't intervened, all their children would have been implicated by Li Hun.
They also had to thank Li Su, because if it weren't for Li Su, they would really have no descendants.
"I remember now."
Looking at the four men, Zhang San and his companions, who seemed completely unconcerned, Li Hun almost forgot that they had leverage over him.
Since they have something on us, these four people are even less likely to live well now.
The tone shifted, and Li Hun appeared somewhat sinister.
"So what if you remember? You'll still have to pay with your lives to break my leg."
He spoke without any pretense, his face half-hidden in darkness and half-lit, making Li Hun look particularly eerie.
Zhang San and the others remained on guard. The next second, Zhang San was sent flying right before Zhao Zhao and the others' eyes, landing precisely in the corner of the wall.
The figure that had been lying on the ground was gone. Combined with what Li Hun had just said, Zhao Zhao and the others panicked.
"Li Hun, release Brother Zhang San right now! Are you out of your mind? If you don't release Brother Zhang San, don't blame us for being ruthless and exposing what happened back then. Back then, it was your mother who came to each and every household begging us to let you go. But if you don't live to see the end, don't blame us for not giving you a chance."
Hearing Zhao Zhao's words, Li Hun's heart grew even colder, filled with malice and murderous intent. He stared fiercely at Zhao Zhao, then suddenly burst into laughter, as if he'd heard a hilarious joke.
"You won't let me go? Haven't you figured out the situation yet? As long as I don't let you go, do you think you can get out of here?"
Can we go out?
The question lingered in Zhao Zhao's mind. Looking around, they saw only impenetrable darkness, not even a breeze; the only light was from Li Hun.
Can they really get out?
He asked himself the question, but couldn't answer it. Yet, he already knew the answer in his heart, and a hint of dejection gradually appeared on his face.
Li Hun became excited. "Be defeated, be decadent, be broken, come and join me in this revenge."
A sudden chill, seemingly from nowhere, snapped Zhao Zhao and the others back to reality. They realized why they had felt trapped inside.
We can get out, we definitely can. It was Li Hun who did it. If we catch Li Hun, we can definitely get out.
The moment the thought crossed their minds, Zhao Zhao and the others found themselves unable to move. Their heads were forced up, and they could only watch helplessly as Zhang San lay sprawled on the ground, stones and bricks falling from the wall.
No~
The silent worry was deafening. They wanted to close their eyes, not wanting to witness the tragedy unfold before them, but Li Hun wouldn't listen.
He insisted that Zhao Zhao and the others watch Zhang San's leg be broken, just like he had done to Zhang San back then, when they had also watched his leg be broken.
The next second, Zhang San's leg was indeed broken. The expected pain didn't occur. Zhang San turned his head to look...
You read that right, his leg was indeed smashed. How could it not hurt?
Another stone came down, and this time Zhang San saw it with his own eyes. The flesh on his leg shrank back again, looking frightening, but it didn't hurt at all.
Turning around to look at Zhao Zhao and the others, they instantly stared at each other, bewildered. Zhang San's leg was broken, so why wasn't he crying out in pain?
He didn't scream, and his face was still flushed, as if the stone behind him hadn't hit Zhang San's leg.
A painful groan came from Li Hun beside him. Li Hun was clutching his previously injured leg, his face pale with pain, and cold sweat dripping down his face.
Suddenly, Leng Qian and Zhang San's eyes met, one calm, the other in pain. In that instant, Li Hun seemed to understand something.
"Aren't you in pain?"
Zhang San shook his head innocently.
"It doesn't hurt, why should I feel pain?"
Why the pain? Looking further ahead, Li Hun was certain he hadn't misread it; the stone had indeed fallen and hit Zhang San's leg.
The flesh was a blur, and the sound of bones breaking could be heard, but Zhang San seemed to feel nothing at all. On the contrary, the pain from the depths of his memory returned to him.
Was it Zhang San who was hit, but he who is in pain?
Unable to contain his speculations, and unable to bear the pain any longer, he waved his hand and the stone vanished. Only the lingering pain in his leg told Li Hun...
It wasn't my imagination just now; it hurt others, but he was the one who felt pain.
Keeping a close eye on Zhang San, Li Hun planned to take action himself. Everything around him was under his control; even if he made a move, no one would notice.
However, worry appeared in Li Hun's eyes; she feared that what had just happened would repeat itself.
It's Zhang San's neck that's being cut; what can he do about the pain? And to make matters worse, what if he accidentally dies along with him?
