Chapter 86: The Fox Fairy's Tail

  The girl's words made me pause for a moment.

  "Heh heh, what are you talking about?" I dryly replied.

  But before I could respond, the woman continued in a light and airy voice:

  "......Those with power can decide whether others live or die, right?"

  An ethereal and elusive voice, listening to it makes my heart tremble with each beat. For some reason, I suddenly thought of Zhang Guohua, who had sent someone to clean me up and lock me in the well. A kind of inexplicable resonance arose in my heart.

  This woman seems to be quite distrustful of JC and the government, could she also be a person with background locked up here?

  I couldn't help but grit my teeth and said:

  "Hmm... I don't quite understand what you mean. Anyway, first tell me if there's a way out, and once I'm out, I'll think of a way to come back and rescue you. Since you don't want others to rescue you, I'll think of a way to rescue you by myself?"

  "...You have a lot of resentment..." The woman said something that left me bewildered, "...you're very similar to me...both of us were locked up here...wanting revenge but lacking the ability...right?"

  The girl's words were like a stone thrown into my heart sea, instantly stirring up huge waves in my heart sea.

  "I... can see through other people's minds."

  See through other people's minds?

  Is this woman joking?

  If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I would have doubted that this woman was joking with me at the time. But now is not the time for jokes. What's going on? Is this woman out of her mind?

  "This is no time for joking." I frowned and patted the shoulder of the woman in front of me, urging her to calm down.

  "...Tell me, Wang Yisheng, don't you want those who should have gone to hell but are now getting away scot-free to pay the price...?"

  The girl's words were like sharp arrows piercing into my chest, and this time, I was really shocked.

  "Hey, what are you talking about?"

  "...I'm asking you, what are you now, Wang Yisheng?...Your sister was raped, and you were thrown into a well. What are you now? Like a human being?"

  The woman's soft voice rose, with endless sarcasm and venom in her tone, every sentence piercing my heart. But the question is... how did she know about me being raped by Smoke? I never mentioned it to her! What's this woman's background anyway?

  It has come to this point, even I, a materialist who never believed in ghosts and gods, was thoroughly shocked.

  "This world is unfair, Wang Yisheng... Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, pampered by others... While some are born with nothing, having to rely on themselves to struggle and shed blood and tears... Some are born beautiful and charming, while others are ugly and can't show their face to the world... Some are born with great talent, while others live a life of mediocrity... The fate of each person is already determined at birth."

  In the pitch-black darkness, this woman spoke a lot of words that seemed to be complaints about the world, her tone was full of sorrow, yet it sounded like she was sighing.

  I stood there, dazed, listening to the woman's words, but my mind was flooded with memories of my life over the years. Since I was a child, I only had a mother, and we lived in poverty, struggling to make ends meet. Sometimes, just to earn enough money to support our family, I had to endure the cold gaze of others. The wealthy heirs only needed to ask their parents for some pocket money to buy mobile phones, luxury watches, and flaunt their wealth, and they would be surrounded by a group of girls who admired them with envy. Meanwhile, I could only sit quietly in the corner, watching the world's joys and sorrows with indifference, knowing the gap between myself and others. I knew that I was from a different world than everyone else.

  Even my own sister was raped and murdered, but I couldn't avenge her! Because I'm just the lowest of the low, the most insignificant person, with no power, no family background, nothing at all.

  This era is no longer like before. A person with nothing can't possibly compete with those who have already gained benefits and set the rules of the game in this world.

  "Don't you want to dig out the eyeballs of those who looked down on you?... Don't you want to beat into disability those who made you kneel?... Those who eat public food, high and above, thinking they can be safe for a lifetime, don't you want to make their whole family die cleanly?"

  In the darkness, I couldn't see the woman's figure, but I knew that this woman was absolutely not ordinary.

  I swallowed hard, but couldn't say a word.

  Crazy.

  Sheer madness.

  This woman's words were too crazy and ruthless.

  "What's the point of saying that... anyone would think that..." I swallowed hard and said. "But what's the use of such unrealistic thoughts?"

  "...Others just think about it...I can make you do it..." The woman's voice echoed faintly, reverberating endlessly in the cave.

  "I can make others listen to you... let you... be the king of this world..."

  "Do you... want to?"

  The girl's words made me feel like I was dreaming, or had I already died or was I just hallucinating?

  "Stop joking, who are you?" I took a few steps back, my heart racing. But just then, from the corridor outside came the sound of rapid footsteps, kicking and trampling, as if someone was coming in.

  "Damn it, I thought someone was gone for good! Turns out there's a passage here! You hid well!" A loud voice suddenly came from behind, and then I saw two phone lights shining over, piercing my eyes so that I couldn't open them. I quickly turned around and covered my eyes with both hands.

  In the light of the mobile phone, I saw a man with thick eyebrows and another man surnamed Zhuang walking in from the entrance of the passage, using their mobile phones as flashlights. Each of them was holding two bricks in their hands.

  As I saw the two people walking in from the entrance of the passage, my heart which had originally calmed down started racing again.

  Damn it! I didn't expect these two men would personally come down to the bottom of the well to confirm whether I'm dead or alive!

  Seeing the two people walking into the cave, I was emotionally flustered. The injuries they had inflicted on me earlier were already unbearable, and if they attacked me again, I was afraid I would be finished.

  I took two steps back, but the thick-eyebrowed man was approaching me step by step with a sinister smile, until his phone's flashlight landed on something behind me, and he suddenly stopped.

  "Who is there?"

  It can be imagined that the rough eyebrow man was shocked only after seeing the woman behind me. I stumbled back a step, and followed the rough eyebrow man's line of sight to look back. Originally, it would have been better not to look, but after taking a glance, my heart was greatly shaken.

  The light illuminated a figure of a woman, covered in mud and dust. The woman had her head down, making it impossible to see her face or determine her age. However, her body proportions were perfect, with curves that were both subtle and striking, like those of a model. What was even more astonishing was her wild tangle of black hair, which cascaded down her back like a waterfall, reaching all the way to the ground, where it flowed like a small stream.

  The woman's hands and feet were all wrapped in iron chains, her two hands were hung up, and the iron chains on her two feet were connected to the deep hole wall behind, it was unknown whether they were inserted into the wall.

  If that was all, it would be fine, but what made my heart surge with emotion was that behind this woman's back, there were six white fox tails, fanned out and nailed to the rock wall behind her with six thick steel nails!

  There is still one more watch at night
