Chapter 256 Anger
The third level was shrouded in a hazy gray. Even with the light of the spirit lamp, Shen Yao couldn't see her surroundings clearly. She could only rely on luck to find the illusionary gate in the gray fog.
She groped her way in, when suddenly a clump of excrement came flying at her. She dodged it, and several clumps of excrement hit the hem of her clothes from the side.
"Ugh..." Shen Yao felt extremely nauseous. Before she could even vomit, rotten eggs and vegetable leaves were thrown at her from all directions.
She hurriedly formed hand seals and cast a golden spirit shield to intercept the filth, which struck the shield, leaving its surface covered in disgusting dirt.
Laughter echoed from within the gray fog. Just as Shen Yao was about to get angry, she suddenly noticed that the fog had darkened further.
Seeing the change in the fog, her intuition told her not to get angry. She immediately calmed down and silently cast a divine-level calming spell.
As soon as the divine-level mind-clearing technique was cast, the surrounding gray mist dissipated somewhat, and soon the gray mist within the three layers vanished, revealing a blue illusionary portal in the corner.
Shen Yao continuously cast the Divine-level Mind-Cleansing Technique until she reached the Illusionary Gate, then quickly ascended to the fourth floor via the stairs inside.
The fourth floor was filled with all sorts of torture instruments: branding irons, whips, face coverings, hand clamps, burning bronze bulls... These were just the ones she knew; she didn't recognize most of them.
Besides the instruments of torture, there were many cells without doors. She looked through them one by one, and in each cell were familiar faces bound up—the very people who had hurt her in her past life.
Her initial surprise turned to disgust, then to indifference, and her expression became increasingly distorted.
Shen Yao surveyed the area, then walked back to the shelf filled with torture instruments and let out a chilling laugh as she looked at them.
Even the heavens will grant her revenge!
Even if today is a delusion, even if it's an illusion, she still wants to vent her anger!
His eyes, filled with malice, scanned the various instruments of torture, pondering their uses and who they would be most effective at inflicting upon.
She first chose a large pair of serrated scissors. From childhood to adulthood, whenever these ghosts saw her, they would curse her, saying she was a jinx to her father or a burden to her.
They always start their sentences with the phrase, "You're just a girl... a money-loser..."
To conclude with this: "Serves you right for being a woman!"
These scissors are perfect; first, cut off everyone's tongues so they'll stop talking nonsense.
Then cut off those women's breasts, so that they, as women, would still bully other women.
Finally, cut off those men's genitals, dig a hole in them, and make them the women they despise the most.
She thought it that way, and that's what she did.
When the mouth is pried open with a mouth opener and the first tongue is pulled out and cut off, the evil thoughts in one's heart are magnified infinitely.
In the past, she couldn't take revenge herself, so she could only curse those people to die early day and night.
Today they are tied up in their cells, at her mercy.
She cut off each tongue one by one, her movements becoming increasingly swift and brutal. Eventually, she discovered that using her spiritual power to tear their entire tongues out was even more satisfying...
She carried the bucket full of tongues and slowly walked back to the rack, where she changed her knife.
She didn't cut off those women's breasts because when she pointed the scissors at her aunt, she suddenly changed her mind; she didn't want to become a woman who would humiliate women by targeting their female organs.
So she returned to the rack, changed to a specially made sharp knife, and used it to cut her genitals, making it easier to carve a hole.
The thought of the scene made her feel disgusted and she didn't want to watch it at all. In the end, she changed her plan and used the Blazing Beast Bones to ignite many fireballs that burned their genitals.
The screams filled the torture chamber, but she felt little pleasure in her revenge.
She entered a cell, where a long-haired woman with blood all over her mouth stared at her in terror and screamed.
Shen Yao gave a cold laugh, toying with the gleaming knife, and said in a sinister tone, "Cousin...hehehehe..."
She spoke slowly and deliberately, her tone vicious: "When you imprisoned me for three whole months and tortured me day and night, did you ever imagine this day would come?"
The kidnapped woman, her mouth agape and covered in blood, kept shaking her head.
Suddenly, Shen Yao thought of something, left the cell, and returned a short while later, carrying a tongue through a sharp knife.
Her smile was sinister and terrifying, as she brandished the tongue from the knife at the woman: "Cousin, would you like some?"
"Unfortunately, I can't recognize which tongue is yours, so I'll just take one at random."
Her expression changed, and she suddenly became fierce. She grabbed the woman's chin and forced her tongue into the woman's mouth: "Eat, cousin, eat! You forced me to eat fetal meat like this back then."
The kidnapped woman felt nauseous and vomited, so Shen Yao manually opened and closed her jaw, forcing her to chew.
"Eat it!" Shen Yao roared, "Chew and swallow, just like you usually eat fetal meat!"
The controlled woman was forced to chew on her own.
Shen Yao held her chin firmly, her tone softening: "Yes, that's it, chew properly."
"Eating fetal flesh can make you beautiful, and eating your tongue will do the same."
"Cousin, is it delicious?"
When her cousin ate too slowly, Shen Yao's patience suddenly vanished, and her face turned extremely fierce: "Eat quickly!"
The kidnapped woman was forced to eat her entire tongue. Shen Yao retaliated with a chilling laugh and slapped her face with the flat of a knife: "Since my cousin likes to torture people so much, I'll reward you with a skinning."
"Hehehehehe..."
"Cousin, don't scream so pitifully. I didn't utter a sound when you bullied me back then..."
It was Shen Yao's first time skinning someone, and her technique wasn't very good. The skin was torn and tattered, and the kidnapped "cousin" was covered in blood. She disgustedly threw away the bloody, rotten skin and went to find her grandfather with a knife.
Grandpa is getting old!
He was so old that he couldn't speak, and his face was paralyzed and twitching, so Shen Yao didn't cut off his tongue.
There's really no need for that. If you cut off someone else's tongue, they can at least scream in pain. But if you cut off his tongue, what can he do besides stare blankly and drool?
She untied the shackles binding her maternal grandfather and moved him to her paternal grandfather's cell.
Two old, unrecognizable men, from different regions but both leaders of equally backward families, were tied side by side to a frame, their faces twitching as they faced Shen Yao.
Shen Yao listed their crimes one by one.
"When a child's family suffers misfortune, the father, instead of comforting and protecting them, instigates his other children to divide the family property of the orphan and widow. This is the first crime."
"Preferring sons to daughters and exploiting daughters to be blood bags for their brothers is the second crime."
“Raising children without teaching them, resulting in children who are heartless, immoral, and without any moral compass, is the third sin.”
“Forcing and deceiving a helpless daughter, abandoning a young girl to remarry, and objectifying one’s own daughter, this is the fourth crime.”
"To condone the abuse and mistreatment of left-behind young girls by family members and relatives is the fifth crime..."
The two elderly people had blank stares and seemed dazed. After Shen Yao finished her resentful statement, seeing that they couldn't understand or listen at all, she suddenly felt a huge sense of powerlessness wash over her; everything she had done was in vain...
This is a problem involving two despicable old men, but at its core, it's a societal problem.
It's a vicious cycle in that inferior patriarchal society where power oppresses men, men oppress women, and women aid and abet the oppression of even weaker women...
Shen Yao's evil thoughts vanished in an instant. There was no point in dwelling on the past. She now lived in a world of gender equality. Although this world was divided into high and low, noble and lowly, everyone was the same in terms of gender, which was already very good.
She left the cell, took the blazing beast bone and set it on fire everywhere. The flames spread throughout the torture chamber, burning every cell and completely destroying the instruments of torture on the racks.
A voice echoed from the scorching flames: "You should stay here, slowly torture your enemies, and take revenge for everything they did to you."
"Thank you for your kindness, senior." Shen Yao said with a relieved tone, "But I have already let it go."
Not only did she find peace, she also considered herself exceptionally strong.
Growing up in such a terrible prison, she was not assimilated, did not break down, was extremely disappointed with humanity, did not generalize, did not retaliate against society, had correct values, clear cognition, and independent thinking, which is truly remarkable.
The torture chamber vanished in the flames, and in the empty tower, a portal leading to the fifth floor appeared.
The colors of the illusion portal have changed this time; the lower edge of the blue portal has turned into a dazzling gold.
She touched the golden door frame and felt a very comfortable energy. Her divine-level mind-clearing technique was upgraded by a major grade, directly reaching the early stage of mastery.
After absorbing the energy, she stepped into the illusionary portal without any hesitation. From this moment on, Shen Yao completely severed all ties with her family from her previous life, leaving no further entanglement.
