That was the darkest moment in Xiao Yunting's life. After witnessing the bloodbath with his own eyes, Ye Lan did not ask any questions even though he was confused.
It was not until this time that she realized that it was an important node for Xiao Yunting to contact the hunter area.
The man lying on the ground raised his lips and said meaningfully, "Do you really want to know?"
Ye Lan stared at him without saying a word.
Seeing that she wasn't whetting his curiosity, the other person felt bored. However, thinking about what he was about to say, the smile on his lips widened uncontrollably. Finally, he said, "Do you know how I got out? The instructions given at the time were that I could only emerge when Xiao Yunting was forced into a desperate situation and wanted to commit suicide. At that time, I was really looking forward to it. What kind of pain would someone with such strong willpower like Xiao Yunting have to go through to make him give up on life..."
Along with the man's joking tone, the memory of the bloody battle slowly unfolded before Ye Lan.
After three days and three nights of fighting, all the brothers around him were defeated. Xiao Yunting almost became a bloody man, watching his brothers fall one after another, while those enemies who had clearly lay down stood up again without any warning.
The strange ability beyond his comprehension left him helpless, and for the first time he felt an absurd sense of fear.
He will die here.
He brought everyone out, and before they had a single good day to live out their days, they were all buried on this street.
When the last brother was stabbed in the chest by a sharp knife, he held the other's hand tightly, "No..."
He was a fifteen-year-old boy who once saved him in a bar in the Black Triangle, preventing him from being beaten to death by local gangsters.
Later, when he became the boss, the young man came to him and said with a smile, "I have always been good at judging people. You will definitely be a big shot in the future and will be able to take me to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks. So I will definitely not suffer any loss if I follow you."
But in the end, the boy failed to get what he wanted.
He had let these people down.
When he picked up the knife again, he had already lost his mind. He killed and hacked everyone he saw. He didn't know how much time had passed before the surroundings gradually became quiet and the ground was covered with thick blood that could not be dissolved.
He sat among the corpses, feeling his hands and feet stiff, his limbs cold, and his physical skills declining bit by bit.
He was exhausted and at his wit's end, but he had no strength left in his body and could only lie in a pool of blood and wait for death.
At this time, a car appeared at the end of the street.
The backseat window slid down, revealing a face hidden in the shadows. The man seemed to glance out, then said with satisfaction, "The second round of testing is over. Take the man away."
After receiving the order, several bodyguards carried Xiao Yunting through a sea of blood and corpses and put him in the second car, which sped away.
When he woke up again, Xiao Yunting was in an iron cage, surrounded by reinforced metal bars. The chains that handcuffed his hands and feet gave him a cold touch, which was both familiar and unfamiliar.
By the way, this was the environment he lived in before he was six years old.
Then, the moment the door was pushed open, he looked up and saw a familiar figure.
"You haven't let me down yet. I'm glad you've overcome so many difficulties. It's worth my strong recommendation of you to the organization. Now, you can begin the third round of testing."
After the other party finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the house, followed by two people carrying a corpse, opening the cage and throwing it in.
Xiao Yunting was too weak and was knocked to the side by the corpse.
"I only gave you a few sips of water. You must be very hungry now." The other party smiled like a kind elder and coaxed, "Eat."
eat.
This word made Xiao Yunting, who was extremely hungry, drool automatically. Then he looked down at the corpse and was stunned.
"Eat it, or you'll have none left." The man continued to coax her, his tone gentle yet cruel. "This will quench your thirst while the corpse is still wet and the blood inside hasn't coagulated. You'll be eating only this for a long time, so it's best to get used to it sooner rather than later."
He spoke as if he was being treated to a simple meal.
But this is clearly... a corpse.
Xiao Yunting opened his mouth to speak, wanting to ask the other party why, but his weak physical condition prevented him from uttering a single syllable.
"Look, if you don't eat, you won't have the energy to talk. Do you want to choose to die here, or come out alive and ask me questions? I believe you can make the judgment."
The devil's whispers seemed to be telling him to open a hidden door, erasing his humanity and turning him into a beast, a wild animal.
But, do I want to die?
He was unwilling to accept it.
He has endured so much hardship and so many years, and he has survived it all. Now he doesn't want to give up.
So he ripped open the corpse's neck and bit it.
The time that followed was chaotic.
He only felt dizzy from vomiting at first, but gradually got used to it and blocked his senses, like an unconscious machine that could only repeat mechanical eating.
One day, the man came to see him again.
"Congratulations, you've completed the third level of the test." The other party stood in front of the cage and applauded him, the smile on his face showing genuine joy.
"Why?" Xiao Yunting finally had the strength to ask him, but the light in his eyes had long been extinguished, turning into a pool of still water.
"Well, before I answer your question, I need to tell you something." The other person looked at him with a smile and said, "When you were eating earlier, the food was covering your face. I'm sure you didn't see who they were, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Yunting guessed what the other party wanted to do.
But he has already eaten it, and showing him his face now will not stimulate him.
That's what he originally thought.
But when more than a dozen skeletons were neatly laid out in front of him and the black cloths on their faces were removed, Xiao Yunting saw the familiar faces that had fought side by side with him, and then he realized that there is no worst in this world, only worse.
"No, no..."
That's not the case.
He hugged his head tightly, and the memories of eating in the past month came flooding back, like a pair of big hands that severely restricted his breathing and his internal organs, causing him to lie in the cage and retch again.
While vomiting, tears couldn't stop flowing down.
Later, he couldn't vomit anymore, so he lay in the cage, staring at the ceiling as if he was back in the pool of blood in the black street.
He suddenly wondered why he hadn't died there. At least, he wouldn't have to face all this disgusting shit.
The desire to die is strong.
The second personality appeared.
When he was first born, the cage was deliberately opened, and he released the most violent side of his heart. He cut the people who imprisoned him into pieces and slaughtered all the living people in the house.
Later, he spent another two months figuring out the black market in the Hunter District, and with a butcher knife, he conquered the ungoverned area and became the king of this area.
When the Xiao family came looking for him, he cunningly chose to fall asleep, releasing his master personality Xiao Yunting.
At this point, the Hunter District had a mysterious leader at the helm, and the Xiao family also successfully found the child of the third branch. They thought it was just an illegitimate child, but half a year later he became the head of the family and almost destroyed the entire Xiao family.
