Actually, the light was colorful, but after staying in the darkness for a long time, one couldn't see the colors anymore.
Chu Song did not remember who had said that to her, but she was lying in the dark.
The smell of rotten soil mixed with blood assaulted her nose. The rough ground scratched her tender skin, but compared to the pain in her lower body, the scratches on her back were nothing.
The pain was like fire, like a saw, trying to split her from between her legs.
It was so painful that Chu Song wanted to get up, but she found that there was a mountain pressing down on her, making it hard for her to breathe.
Her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness. Under the fluorescent light of the rotten grass, she tried her best to open her eyes, but then her eyes almost popped out of their sockets in fear. It wasn't a mountain pressing down on her, but a fat middle-aged man covered in blood.
The man moved up and down on her body. The fat on his face trembled, and greasy sweat dripped down his face. His scarlet eyes were wide open, and he panted heavily. "Haha, half a roasted frog … for a fledgling. This damned place, I finally … made a profit!"
Chu Song was shocked. She wanted to scream, but she couldn't control her mouth. She didn't cry out, but instead, she greedily tore, chewed, and swallowed.
And what she was chewing was the half roasted frog that the fat man had mentioned.
The frog's gray eyes bulged, looking lifelessly at her. Half of the frog's leg was charred, and the other half was still bleeding. Mixed with the man's sweat, the nauseating smell irritated her nose and mouth.
Chu Song was about to go crazy. She struggled with all her might, but her hands and feet were still out of her control. She was still eating, eating in big mouthfuls.
Bite, bite, bite, from the frog's leg, to the frog's body, and then to the frog's head.
"Crack!"
The frog's eyeball was bitten open between her teeth, and the liquid in the eyeball exploded in her mouth.
At the same time, it was as hot as the liquid that shot out from her lower body.
Just as disgusting.
She felt disgusted, extremely disgusted, so disgusted that she wanted to grab a stone and smash the fat head of the man who was panting on her.
And when she found that she could move her hands and feet again, she already did so.
"Smelly whore, you dare …" The man's head was covered in blood, and his eyes were slack from being smashed. However, he fiercely glared at her, his eyes full of viciousness.
Her heart was beating like a drum, and her body was trembling. She had to gather her hands together to barely hold the sharp stone in her hand.
Then, he flipped over and continued to smash the man's body …
At first, the man cursed, then wailed, and in the end, there was only the sound of rocks hitting flesh.
There was also the sound of insects chirping from somewhere.
"Squeak — squeak — squeak —" It matched the rhythm of her beating.
Amidst the buzzing of the insects, she remembered why she was here.
She was originally a little demon that had cultivated into a human form. Every day, she absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, hoping to be reborn as soon as possible.
However, one day, she encountered a human sword cultivator. The sword cultivator did not allow her to say anything and captured her in the name of eliminating demons and protecting the Dao. Then, he put her into a bag and sold her.
From the way that sword cultivator talked and behaved, it was obvious that she was already familiar with this kind of business. A shining magic tool was the price she was selling for.
She did not know how long she had been tossing and turning in the cloth bag. When she came out again, she was already in hell.
A bottomless pit, boundless darkness, white bones and corpses could be seen everywhere, and that old voice that sounded like a nightmare.
"If you want to live, then send others to their deaths. Fight to your heart's content like insects. Only the last one will have the chance to see the light of day again, hahaha!"
She was not the only one in the pit. There were other humans and demons, about a hundred of them.
At first, everyone could still work together and cooperate to survive. However, hunger, suspicion, fear, and boundless despair soon crushed their will, causing them to fall apart.
And from the first time they bled, killing each other uncontrollably occurred.
On the other hand, as a little demon, she was restricted by her weak Innate True Body, so even if she cultivated into a human form, she would still be unable to defeat an ordinary robust man. Not to mention fighting a man, even surviving alone was a problem for her.
She did not know how long she had struggled in the pit. The endless hunger made her digest her reason and dignity. She was attracted by the smell of meat, and then she sold herself in hunger.
Unlike the first time she sold an artifact for such a high price, this time she only exchanged half a roasted frog. It was extremely cheap.
Although the price had changed to half a roasted frog and the life of a fat man, it was still extremely cheap.
Her hands that had gone limp finally stopped. She looked at the bloody face below her, looked at the blood stains all over her body, and couldn't help but pour stomach acid into her throat.
The strong feeling of vomiting made her regret in her heart. She regretted not starving to death in a clean way. It was better than living such a dirty life.
But even as she thought so, she still covered her mouth tightly with her hands, not letting the frog meat that she had just swallowed into her stomach spit out. She was not willing to spit out even a little bit.
After swallowing the vomit in her throat back into her stomach with difficulty, she smiled.
She confirmed that no matter how lowly and lowly she was, she still wanted to live.
And she also found a weapon that could allow her to survive even in this hell.
Therefore, she used a stone to cut off two pieces of the man's thighs. Then she stood up, and a pair of butterfly wings spread out on her crisscrossed back. She shook off the blood stains on the wings, and her wings were still pure and bright, like a forest elf in the quiet night …
She had already sold herself cheaply once, so selling herself a few more times wouldn't make her even more cheaply.
The second one was the same as the first one. The dark and desperate extreme environment made him transform into a primitive beast. He relied on her body to vent the fear in his heart, but he forgot that in this bottomless hell, even the weakest woman could be a predator.
The third one was so cautious that she almost failed, until she pretended to be frightened and knelt down to beg for mercy. She lowered her head, but when she knelt down, she "inadvertently" showed off her beautiful curves. The man's breathing gradually became heavy and rapid, and then he untied his belt.
The fourth one was a young demon boy, who should be younger than her. When he looked at her body, he only dared to sneak a glance, and his face turned red. Under her guidance, he completed the adult ceremony. After that, he also seemed to become a man, hugging her and calling her sister. He patted his chest and swore that he would escape with his sister. Using his strength, she managed to get rid of a few threats. However, not long after, he lost both his legs in a fight and turned back into a childish boy. He cried for his sister and begged her to let him escape with her. She was afraid that his crying would attract other people, so she used the simplest method to stop him from crying.
Again and again, she seduced, used, instigated, betrayed … She became numb and more and more skilled. The dark pit of ten thousand corpses became her second metamorphosis chrysalis, making her sublimate in blood. She abandoned the useless shame, morality, and pity in her heart, and absorbed cruelty, cunning, and viciousness from the endless flesh and blood of the corpses to fill the void in her heart.
Finally, the day of breaking out of the cocoon came.
That day, the long-awaited light shone into the dark cave, but there was no seven-colored light. It was pale and cold, and the more it shone on her body, the colder it became.
The old voice sounded again, but she could no longer hear it. Her ears were filled with the noise of insects, and it had never stopped since the first time she fell into depravity …
- = - =
"Stop shouting, all of you stop shouting!" Chu Song covered his ears and cried, as if he had experienced a thousand tribulations in hell in an instant.
Zhao Ya sneered, but she was numb like a stone statue that had been eroded.
Between crying and laughing, a strange sorrow spread out and infected all the demons present.
"Young Master, she's not Gu Xuanren?" Han Fu finally couldn't endure this strange atmosphere any longer, and she asked. The various signs and layers of inferences had ceaselessly magnified Zhao Ya's suspicions, but when conclusive evidence was placed on the table, the outcome exceeded her expectations, and she couldn't help but look at Gongzi Ling to seek an answer.
"I didn't say so." Gongzi Ling was not surprised and answered matter-of-factly.
"But you just said …" Han Fu stopped abruptly.
Gongzi Ling said, "You noticed? From the beginning to the end, I've only talked about who the demon who killed your husband is. "
Qin Feng did not expect such a change and asked, "What do you mean? Sister Ya killed Tie Shan, but she's not Gu Xuanren?"
Gongzi Ling said, "Why do you think the one who killed Tie Shan is Gu Xuanren? It's because Tie Shan left a message before he died. He used a container to cover the insects and hinted at the word 'gu', which made us think it was Gu Xuanren who killed him. But what if the message was not left by Tie Shan?"
Qin Feng was stunned, obviously stumped by the question. He frowned and did not speak.
Gongzi Ling said, "Or rather, if Gu Xuanren really killed Tie Shan, there's a problem that's hard to explain. Tie Shan died in the middle of the night and his body was found in the morning. There was plenty of time, so why didn't Gu Xuanren take away the Gu in Tie Shan's body at that time? Why did he take the risk of being exposed?"
"Maybe he alerted someone when he killed Tie Shan and made him leave in a hurry, or maybe he had other plans?" Qin Feng said, but they were all baseless guesses. He finally gave up thinking. "Then if Sister Ya is not Gu Xuanren, why did she kill Tie Shan?"
"Yes, why? I've been thinking about this, but I'm not sure until this moment. " Gongzi Ling looked at Zhao Ya with his sharp eyes and said something shocking, "Zhao Ya killed Tie Shan to help us deal with Gu Xuanren."
Han Fu widened his eyes and said, "She killed my husband to help us? What … what's the meaning of this? "
Gongzi Ling said, "Gu Xuanren is determined to get the Parasite in Tie Shan's body because it's a double-edged sword to him. If it falls into his hands, it'll be an important bargaining chip, but if it falls into our hands, it'll be the biggest threat to him. The mutual devouring characteristic of the Gu discovered by Chu Song is proof. With the Parasite in our hands, we can use the mutual devouring characteristic of the Gu to discover Gu Xuanren's body in the villa. Only by killing Tie Shan can we have the chance to get the Parasite! Besides, killing Tie Shan but faking it as Gu Xuanren's death reminds us that Gu Xuanren is already in the villa. The clues left at the scene led us to the Encyclopedic Insect Encyclopedia and found out what kind of Gu poison we were poisoned with. Leaving the Parasite in Tie Shan's body as bait narrowed the range of possible Gu Xuanren's body to a few demons. We were able to launch a counterattack and didn't lose all our memories without knowing anything. All of this started from Tie Shan's death! "
"Impossible, that's impossible! If she did this, it means she already knew that there was a Parasite in my husband's body. But I didn't even know that my husband was once a Gu slave. If Sister Ya is not Gu Xuanren, how could she know? "Han Fu shook her head in disbelief. At first, she was told that Zhao Ya killed Tie Shan. Although she was also heartbroken, it gave her a reason to forgive Zhao Ya. She thought that Zhao Ya had no choice but to be possessed by Gu Xuanren.
That way, she, who had already lost her husband, would not lose a good sister who had climbed out of the pit of ten thousand corpses with her. But when she finally accepted it, an even crueler truth was thrown at her. Zhao Ya did not kill Tie Shan involuntarily, but out of her own will.
Qin Feng also objected, "That doesn't make sense. Sister Ya is the manager of the villa. It's only right for her to deal with Gu Xuanren with us. Since she knows about Gu Xuanren's existence and has information that we don't know, she could have just told us. Why did she have to use such an extreme method? "
Gongzi Ling sighed and said, "Your question and Han Fu's actually have the same answer. I only confirmed the truth after seeing Chu Song's reaction …"
"Don't say it!" At that moment, a scream interrupted Gongzi Ling's words. It was Chu Song.
Chu Song seemed to have recovered some of his sanity from his fear, but he was still emotional. He looked at Zhao Ya with teary eyes, then at Gongzi Ling. There was sympathy and pleading in his eyes. "I beg you, don't say it!"
Gongzi Ling let out a long sigh and remained silent.
"Don't abuse your sympathy. You've already said so much. Do you still need to say the last sentence?" Zhao Ya finally spoke. She smiled and mocked, "I know everything, but I'm not willing to say it because I was once Gu Xuanren's Gu slave, just like Tie Shan!"
