Chapter 7 Cannon Fodder or Assist
The decoration here looks even scarier than the training room in the underground auction house. The various instruments with spikes make people's hair stand on end just by looking at them.
Not to mention, the wounds they brought appeared on the young man in front of him. His gentle chestnut short hair also revealed a grayish color. The strong smell of blood filled his nose, almost making people think that they had encountered a murder scene.
Although it’s not that bad now.
"Well... now that you're back, can the punishment be over now?"
Shen Jiaxu said this with a hint of sarcasm, and raised his head to reveal eyes that matched his hair color. His pupils, which were usually gentle and kind, were now filled with extreme madness, their pupils almost shrinking to a tiny dot.
With such an expression, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the god of death who has returned from hell. Lilith almost knelt down to the original owner.
Shen Jiaxu was the original owner's childhood sweetheart and the female protagonist's fiancé since childhood. Since childhood, the original owner treated Shen Jiaxu as her own property, not allowing him to talk to others or smile at others.
If they disagreed, the original owner would lock him up and punish him. Of course, it was not the ambiguous whipping in the training room, but inhumane torture.
Just like this time, Shen Jiaxu just smiled at the welcoming lady at the opening ceremony, and the original owner seemed to have found an opportunity and locked him up in the underground interrogation room.
Originally Shen Jiaxu had a gentle and considerate personality, but under the torture of the original owner day after day, he had become twisted and sickly.
He hated Lilith, who had caused him so much pain. After the original owner lost her noble status, he locked her up in the basement and tortured her with the same methods, even giving her a drug that made her stupid. He watched coldly as the original owner fought with the poor for food in the trash can...
The crazy rabbit, the vicious leopard, the brooding wolf, the arrogant cat and the yandere fox, each of her five husbands is more terrifying than the other. Why don't she try to kill herself and see if she can return to her original world?
"Shen Jiaxu is here... You lied to me and said he went to the exchange meeting."
When Lilith turned around, she saw Qi Hanxing who had come down after hearing the noise. Her beautiful green eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Liar liar liar!"
The fishing cat's spirit body suddenly grew enormous, and its markings suddenly appeared in front of Lilith. The dangerous aura of the beast made her realize that something was wrong.
But she soon realized that Qi Hanxing was holding a laptop. She calmly ignored him and squatted down so that her line of sight could be parallel to Shen Jiaxu's.
"Who was the doctor who treated the wound before?"
"Oh, what do you want to do? We've never given doctors permission. Every time we got sick or injured, we got through it on our own!"
The green-eyed boy suppressed his anger. After all, this world has tied all the authority of the Sentinels to the Guides. Once married, whether going to school, working or seeing a doctor, he needs the Guide's permission.
The original owner always used these conditions to threaten her husband, especially Shen Jiaxu. If he didn't have some medical knowledge, he would have been tortured to death by the original owner.
This time too, Shen Jiaxu strained his lips, thinking it was just another false gesture from Lilith.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but my injuries aren't life-threatening. Speaking of which, isn't it time to replace the whip in the interrogation room? A rusty weapon will only cause a dull pain when struck."
But just as he finished speaking, Lilith's expression changed immediately.
"Rusty? Damn it, your wound will get infected. Is there tetanus in this world? You need a shot!"
Fortunately, there was a "medical" icon on her optical brain, and the family doctor received the instruction immediately.
She immediately untied the chains, and Shen Jiaxu, who had lost his support, fell on her body uncontrollably. The smell of blood became more pungent. Lilith raised her hands, not knowing how to touch them without hurting the hideous wounds.
"Does it hurt?"
Lilith said this with certainty, her fingertips lightly touching the bloody white flesh, and the skin under her hand tightened in an instant.
"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."
She lifted Shen Jiaxu's chin and stared into those chestnut eyes.
Anyway, let's comfort her first. She doesn't want to be beaten like this and then drugged to make her stupid.
Until now, touching such a terrible wound, Lilith finally felt the reality of traveling through time.
She traveled through time and space to become a wicked guide who did all kinds of evil and hurt her own sentinels wantonly. Each of these sentinels had their own reasons for wanting to kill her. Before she had the ability to help herself, it was better for her not to cause any more trouble.
Shen Jiaxu turned his head away from the azure eyes. His weak breath blew Lilith's hair. The long golden curls that were originally annoying revealed a strange light fragrance.
The neck was very close, so close that he could show his fangs and bite it down, which would definitely kill the life. At such a close distance, even the optical brain would not be able to react. At that time, all the pain would be over.
But, but why should he die with her? She doesn't deserve it. Shen Jiaxu's eyelashes trembled, covering his pupils that were filled with murderous intent. One day, he would make Lilith experience the same pain as himself, and make her kneel in front of him and beg for mercy.
The head on her shoulders suddenly felt heavy. Shen Jiaxu must have fainted. Lilith helped him up, not realizing she had once again walked on the edge of death.
Qi Hanxing, who was standing by, saw that Lilith had really called a doctor, and her expression improved a little. However, seeing that she was almost crushed, she curled her lips and hung Shen Jiaxu on her arm.
"Wait, he still has a wound on his abdomen, be gentle..."
"The Sentinels aren't as fragile as you think. Even without a doctor, their wounds will eventually heal. Isn't it because you know this that you torture us so recklessly?"
Lilith was given a strange look by Qi Hanxing. The indifference and coldness in his eyes were strangely disjointed from his face, which made her stop in her tracks.
This world is different. The strength of the Sentinels seems to have become a conventional concept. They are required to pay as a matter of course and are willing to be bound. The Empire covets the power of the Sentinels, but is afraid that they will lose control.
Therefore, the guides became the supreme beings. They controlled all the joys and sorrows of the sentinels, and controlled their freedom, life and death.
Lilith's five husbands actually chose to fight back only now, which shows that they have great patience.
They are the swords hanging over her head all the time. She must find a way to escape from this dangerous situation.
Divorce is impossible. As long as she divorces, they will find an opportunity to kill her.
Lilith suddenly thought of the heroine whom she had always ignored.
"If I prevent the heroine and hero from meeting, I'll become cannon fodder. So if I deliberately provide them with opportunities to get along, wouldn't that be an assist?"
"You're not going to kill me again, are you?"
