In extreme survival situations, it's common for people to resort to killing each other out of selfishness. However, there is a small group of people whose killings are not for survival purposes. Obviously, Zhao Yi belongs to this dangerous group of people. He kills because he thinks it's fun, which is not a valid reason or no reason at all. Therefore, such people are extremely dangerous. They may be laughing and joking with you one second, and the next second, they may pull out a shotgun and aim it at your head, blowing you up like a watermelon. You never know when you've entered their hunting list.
Unlike the other henchmen, the middle-aged man drinking tea remained calm. He looked at Zhao Yi seriously and asked, "Do you know who I am?"
Zhao Yi replied, "No."
"Let me guess...you're Xiang Wei Shan's brother?"
The middle-aged man nodded. "That's right. Since you've heard of me, you should know what kind of person I am..."
He didn't finish his sentence, but Zhao Yi interrupted him. "Actually, I haven't heard of you."
"And I seriously doubt that you're your father's biological son...If it weren't for Lao Wang sticking his nose in, your father shouldn't have given you such a personal and revengeful name, 'Ji' Ba' [which sounds like 'revenge' in Chinese]."
Zhao Yi's words were serious, not just verbal abuse. If it weren't for Lao Wang's interference, why would his father give his son such an outrageous name?
The faces of the henchmen in the room turned pale, and they gave Zhao Yi sympathetic looks from time to time.
They had served Xiang Ba Bang for so long and knew how cruel he was! As the leader of the Meng Chong Bang, Xiang Ba Bang was most afraid of others making fun of his name. Zhao Yi was asking for death!
"Do you think you're funny?"
Xiang Ba Bang lowered his eyelids slightly, and his tone began to reveal an unshakeable killing intent.
"Well, I'm usually pretty funny."
"Just one word 'handsome' to describe me seems a bit thin."
Zhao Yi sat on Xiang Ba Bang's sofa with great confidence, tapping his legs and opening a bottle of water.
Xiang Ba Bang had been in this eerie world for so many years, and finally climbed to his current position as a local emperor in the underworld game. Usually, he was surrounded by new players who tried their best to curry favor with him. Where could he find such a bold and daring person like Zhao Yi to offend him?
The tattooed man pulled out a gun from behind and aimed it at Zhao Yi's head. His eyes were sharp.
As long as Xiang Ba Bang gave the order, he would crush Zhao Yi's head.
Although players wouldn't die in the guild's headquarters, they had countless ways to torture Zhao Yi until he went crazy!
"You dare to kill the boss's brother and should pay the price for it!"
The tattooed man's face was extremely ferocious, and he still remembered the humiliation Zhao Yi had inflicted on him not long ago.
As an old-timer entering the Hell Game, how could he raise his head in front of his henchmen if he didn't reclaim his dignity after being humiliated by a newcomer?
"I understand. He can kill me, but I can't kill him."
Despite having a gun pointed at his head, Zhao Yi remained calm.
"Because he has a good brother, and I don't."
With narrowed eyes, Zhao Yi coldly said to Xiang Bapang, "Since you understand this truth, you shouldn't have killed my brother!"
Zhao Yi took a sip of water and placed the bottle on the coffee table. Then he made a hand gesture resembling a pistol and aimed it at Xiang Bapang.
"Do you know what I'm thinking?" Zhao Yi asked.
Xiang Bapang replied coldly, "I don't need to know the thoughts of a lunatic, but soon... you will know what I'm thinking..."
Interrupting him, Zhao Yi's expression suddenly turned extremely ferocious and resentful.
"I'm thinking that if I had a hunting rifle right now, I could blow your head to pieces with one shot!"
Seeing Zhao Yi's expression, Xiang Bapang's anger was replaced by delight, feeling like he had gained an advantage and regained his composure.
He dusted off the ash from his clothes, lit a cigarette, and sneered, "Look at you, so pitiful like a reptile, so poor that you can't even afford a gun!"
"I..."
Bang!
Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Yi actually produced a hunting rifle in his hand and pulled the trigger, shattering Xiang Bapang's head into pieces!
Blood splattered all over the floor.
A wisp of smoke rose slowly from the dark barrel of Zhao Yi's gun.
Everyone in the room was stunned, and silence filled the air.
In the guild headquarters, even if a player was burned to ashes, they could still resurrect, but that was not important... What mattered was that a new player with only level three had just used a gun to directly kill a level twenty-two player in his own room!
"Do you all think he should have dodged that shot?" Zhao Yi smiled, as he collected the gun amidst the shocked and wary gazes of the crowd.
He had done what he needed to do.
Zhao Yi knew that it would be difficult for him to walk out of this room on his own today.
But before these people killed him, he decided to do something first.
He knew that he couldn't cause any harm to Xiang Bapang under the opponent's vigilance.
So, once again, he used rhetoric and acting skills to divert Xiang Bapang's attention, creating the illusion that he didn't have a gun. Finally, he unexpectedly revealed the firearm and shot Xiang Bapang.
Perhaps Xiang Bapang had high power levels, but clearly, he hadn't exchanged for any powerful bloodline or enhanced physique-type relics, so his body was not strong enough to withstand the hunting rifle given to Zhao Yi by Yang Linlin.
His head was crushed by Zhao Yi's shot.
In the next moment, the tattooed man who had regained his senses also shot Zhao Yi in the head!
...
Death was not unfamiliar to Zhao Yi.
Shortly after losing consciousness, he found himself in a familiar dark prison cell.
Inside, over a thousand horrifying monsters of strange shapes were tightly bound by iron chains to bronze pillars, madly roaring at Zhao Yi!
Zhao Yi was a frequent visitor here.
He did not fear these terrifying creatures; on the contrary, these monsters were actually afraid of him.
Because they were the ones that Zhao Yi had captured from the outside world and locked up here.
—From the bodies of the patients that Zhao Yi had obtained.
In their eyes, Zhao Yi had no form.
He was an unknown secret.
An unreadable truth.
"Master of this unknown edge! Anger, jealousy, paranoia, tyranny, bloodthirstiness… Zhao Yi can clearly call out the names of the monsters he has locked here. As long as he passes by, those angry roaring monsters will bury their heads and play dead.
As Zhao Yi was patrolling his world, the gray sky suddenly opened up, emitting a bright light.
Zhao Yi looked up.
"So quickly resurrected?"
He sighed.
...
Once again opening his eyes, Zhao Yi found himself tied to an electric chair.
The bright light made Zhao Yi feel somewhat uncomfortable.
A group of ferocious people surrounded him, looking at him with mockery and cruelty.
Xiang Babang had already cleaned the blood off his body and put on a clean and tidy suit, his face so gloomy it seemed like water could drip from it!
To be honest, the shot Zhao Yi just took didn't harm his body, but it caused him immense mental damage!
This little brother was just thinking, how could a level 22 old player like himself be headshot by a newbie who was only level three in his own room? What a disgrace! How embarrassing would it be if this got out?
Xiang Babang couldn't accept it!
He decided not to waste words with Zhao Yi anymore and went straight to torture!
First, let Zhao Yi experience extreme pain, make him cry and beg hoarsely, find back his dignity, and then, after Zhao Yi voluntarily left the guild's headquarters, they would figure out a way to get rid of Zhao Yi!
"Do you know what this is?"
Xiang Babang raised his right hand, holding the controller, and asked fiercely.
"Ah, the electric chair… well, for ordinary people, this is indeed an extremely intolerable punishment, but for me… obviously not very effective."
Zhao Yi still had that chilling smile on his face, and seeing this smile, Xiang Babang suddenly became enraged, his neck veins exposed, the air of elegance on him disappeared, replaced by madness!
He pressed the electric shock button in his hand, and the strong current on the electric chair pierced through Zhao Yi's body in an instant!
Crackle!
Zhao Yi convulsed violently, his hair exploded into a mess, his skin burst into sparks under the strong current, quickly turning white. In just a few seconds, everyone could smell the scent of flesh in the air…
Zhao Yi buried his head and lay still.
After about a minute, Zhao Yi's injuries began to heal, and he gradually regained consciousness.
"How does it feel?"
Xiang Babang grinned.
Zhao Yi replied:
"Not bad. A strong electric shock can bring immense pain to a person in a short time, but if you can adapt to it… it's actually quite comfortable."
"Do you want a few more?"
Xiang Babang's smile froze.
The others felt their breath catch.
Comfortable?
This Zhao Yi… does he have a masochistic tendency?
Damn!
What the… what's going on here?
The confused crowd looked at Xiang Babang, hoping he would come up with something.
Xiang Babang stared at Zhao Yi, his eyes bloodshot.
"You must be in a lot of pain… what are you pretending for?"
"If it hurts, scream out!"
"Don't hold back!"
Zhao Yi lowered his gaze and looked at the controller in his hand, saying, "Can I have this thing?"
Xiang Babang smirked and replied, "What's wrong? Afraid now after acting tough earlier?"
Zhao Yi retorted, "No, I actually enjoyed the product experience just now. If you don't comply, I can do it myself."
Xiang Babang raised an eyebrow and said, "??"
The group of people stared at Zhao Yi with disbelief, unable to utter a word for a while. This guy... must be a bit crazy!
Seeing their silence, Zhao Yi continued, "Actually, just playing with an electric chair can get boring. You guys should spice it up a bit!"
"For example, boiling frogs in warm water, braising beef with bronze bull, grilling quail eggs alive... But do you know the most extreme one?"
Everyone looked at him blankly and shook their heads.
Zhao Yi suddenly shook the electric chair, took a few steps forward, and startled Xiang Babang! He swiftly pulled out his own soul weapon, a large electric rod, and aimed it at Zhao Yi, tensing up all over!
In the past, he would have considered this behavior shameful. A level 22 veteran player, being on high alert when facing a rookie!
But now, after being completely overwhelmed by Zhao Yi earlier, he was worried that Zhao Yi might pull another trick and kill him while he was off guard!
If something like that happened again, it would truly be humiliating!
However, this time, it was evident that Zhao Yi had neither the intention nor the ability to harm him again.
Looking at Xiang Babang, who was on high alert, Zhao Yi excitedly said, "The most extreme method is skinning, as told to me by a former patient!"
"You prepare a pot of mercury, then use a knife to make a cross on top of my head, and pour the mercury into my scalp. The weight of the mercury will gradually separate my skin layers and muscle tissues, all the way down... Finally, a complete human skin is created!"
"Usually at this point, I shouldn't be dead yet. I can jump out from inside my own skin... and dance for everyone's entertainment!"
As Zhao Yi spoke, he became increasingly excited, his gestures becoming more animated!
The onlookers watched Zhao Yi with saliva flying everywhere, but felt a chill running down their spines, instinctively moving away from him...
Is this guy really human?
Watching him like this, Xiang Babang sat down heavily on the chair behind him, with a troubled expression, lighting a cigarette.
This was probably the first time he had been so troubled by how to torture someone.
They couldn't kill Zhao Yi in the guild's safe zone, nor could they drag him out of the guild's territory.
So, torture and threats were their only means to make a player quickly apologize.
But now... this method simply didn't work on Zhao Yi at all!
This guy... is probably not just a masochist, but also a deeply twisted lunatic and pervert!
After a long while, Xiang Babang put out his cigarette butt.
Before he could say anything, a crisp knocking sound suddenly came from the door.
One of his subordinates, under Xiang Babang's gaze, opened the door.
A stunning and enchanting figure appeared.
Fiery red lips, eyes brimming with charm.
"Zhao Yi, come with me."
"Lazy as ever," Lui Ruohan drawled.
Zhao Yi jerked the electric chair, struggling to turn his body. Despite being tied up, he managed to slither like a snail towards the door using his glutes' exquisite force. Those vicious thugs dared not stop him.
Their eyes gazed at Lui Ruohan with not just lust but also an indelible fear.
"On my turf, you don't take someone without notifying me, got it?"
Xiang Bapang had been in a terrible mood, and Zhao Yi's intrusion had only made things worse for him. Now, Lui Ruohan came and ignored him completely, intending to take Zhao Yi away. This almost felt like she was throwing his face on the ground and stomping on it. How could he, someone who was used to being arrogant and overbearing, stand for this?
Zhao Yi shuffled out of the room, and Lui Ruohan lightly flicked her finger. All the ropes on Zhao Yi's body fell off!
Only then did Lui Ruohan lift her head and glance at Xiang Bapang, a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes.
"Who are you?"
Those three short words caused the air to freeze.
Xiang Bapang clenched his fists tightly, his veins bulging on his forehead. He tried to maintain his composure despite his outrage.
He wanted to charge out and kill Lui Ruohan directly.
However, he knew... he was no match for Lui Ruohan!
Their strengths... were too far apart!
This woman, who looked seductive to the bone, was one of the top fighters in the entire Bone Zone!
Even if he was furious... he had to hold back!
