Huan Meng Lie Ren

Chapter 316 Punishment and Ideals

The plump assistant smiled, saying to the slender one, "I'll take this girl home first. You keep an eye out for a while."

Their mission was to prevent ordinary people from being harmed nearby, so escorting Bai Xiaomi home was not considered shirking their duties.

With that said, he carried Bai Xiaomi and walked towards the house she had pointed to.

Held in his arms, Bai Xiaomi's eyes were bloodshot as if about to bleed, and her two front teeth gradually grew longer.

After being locked up for so long, she was finally going to taste fresh blood!

As soon as she passed that corner, she would bite. If she only ate one person, Wen Wen wouldn't know, would he?

...

Inside the containment facility, Wen Wen, who had been monitoring Bai Xiaomi's actions through the chain, let out a cold snort.

He could see Bai Xiaomi's every move through the chain. If Bai Xiaomi violated the rules Wen Wen had set beforehand, the chain would automatically alert Wen Wen and could even enact punishment.

"Even after being locked up for so long, she's still incorrigible. It seems that to make these monsters obedient, education alone is not enough; it must be combined with violence."

He cupped his right hand as if grasping something and yanked backward. The sound of chains colliding appeared out of nowhere, and several semi-transparent chains could be faintly seen in Wen Wen's palm.

This time, Wen Wen intended to teach Bai Xiaomi a profound lesson, making her afraid to disobey his orders.

As Wen Wen pulled the chain, just as Bai Xiaomi was about to bite, black semi-transparent chains suddenly appeared on her neck and limbs.

These chains tightly constricted her body, even digging in about two centimeters deep!

Bai Xiaomi screamed, her cries as piercing as a pig being slaughtered. She struggled violently in the plump assistant's arms, her immense strength causing even the assistant to be unable to hold her.

After falling to the ground, her limbs twisted in a bizarre manner, clearly enduring inhuman pain.

"I won't dare again, please let me go, spare me, I'll never do it again!"

Screaming and begging, the soul-piercing pain was a hundred times more intense than when Wen Wen had previously sent the chain into her body. Blood and sweat even seeped from the roots of her fur.

Listening to Bai Xiaomi's heart-wrenching cries, the plump assistant was at a loss. The slender assistant also cast a displeased glance at his companion.

"I let you have the good deed of taking the little萝莉 home, and you're bullying her?"

The situation became very awkward, but after only ten seconds of screaming, Bai Xiaomi quieted down.

Her pain had lasted only ten seconds, but it felt extremely long. At the same time, Wen Wen's cold voice echoed in her long ears.

"Execute the task I gave you. Next time you dare to disobey, the time will be doubled."

She shivered, no longer daring to covet the flesh and blood of the assistant, and finally got up from the ground.

Seeing her get up, the plump assistant breathed a sigh of relief. He would have felt guilty if something had happened to the little girl.

"Uncle, I'm sorry, I have to hit you now."

The plump assistant looked at the little girl, who had been screaming moments ago, with confusion and asked, "Why..."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Xiaomi kicked him in the stomach, and the intense pain forced him to his knees, unable to move.

The slender assistant tried to come to his aid, but Bai Xiaomi stomped her foot on the ground, and she leaped up like a fish leaping out of water, hitting the assistant on the head and knocking him unconscious.

The two assistants, caught off guard, were easily incapacitated. Then, without hesitation, she jumped into the fairytale town.

...

Jiao Xinlei sat on a chair, wearing heavy shackles forged from fine iron, sitting before a dining table. A faceless maid was feeding her food mouthful by mouthful. Sudan Novel Network

"This is the fifth day. How much longer will you keep me locked up?"

"Soon, very soon. In two more days, this town will be transformed into the appearance I desire," said a man wearing a black cloak that concealed his face, sitting at the other end of the long dining table with his chin propped on his hands.

"You keep talking about the appearance you desire. What exactly is it?" Jiao Xinlei asked, frowning.

After observing for a few days, she noticed that the man opposite her didn't seem particularly frenzied. The monsters in this town were also surprisingly docile, completely different from the monsters she had encountered.

The monsters here seemed to be attempting to create order, rather than simply slaughtering humans.

With such a large number of monsters and humans coexisting, she hadn't witnessed a single act of violence. In Jiao Xinlei's experience, this was almost an impossible scenario.

"The experiment is actually halfway done now, so I don't mind telling you..."

The man's eyes lit up, shining just like Heng An's. He said in a light tone, "I want to create a world where monsters and humans can live together harmoniously!"

"That's impossible!" Jiao Xinlei immediately retorted.

"Are you a child? No, you're even more naive than those children." Jiao Xinlei turned her face away, indicating that she had finished eating.

This man's idea was simply wishful thinking. Humans and monsters were fundamentally incompatible.

Harmonious coexistence?

This was a naive dream that not even elementary school students would utter, no different from a fairytale.

But looking at the man's eyes, Jiao Xinlei knew he was being serious, so serious that he treated it as an ideal.

And his eyes were the eyes of someone who truly possessed lofty ideals and was willing to act on them!

The man was not surprised by Jiao Xinlei's reaction, as he knew everyone would react like this upon hearing his idea. However, he still explained earnestly, "The conflict between humans and monsters has been ongoing for thousands of years without ordinary people's knowledge, and there has never been a sign of it stopping."

"Don't you think this never-ending slaughter is a foolish act?"

"Whether monsters or humans, all are intelligent beings. Since they possess intelligence, they can communicate!"

Jiao Xinlei sneered, "Killing is the instinct of monsters. Even if communication is possible, monsters' ultimate goal will still be to kill and enslave humans."

The man countered, "In this town, have you seen monsters harm anyone?"

"It's just that I haven't seen it. In the dark corners where I cannot see, slaughter must be happening."

Jiao Xinlei said with certainty. Before being captured by this man, she had seen the future of this town. Without external intervention, death was the ultimate fate of all living beings in the town.

The man fell silent for a moment. After seeing the 'princess' kill someone so easily, he lacked the confidence to refute Jiao Xinlei's words.

So he could only give a bitter dry laugh. Everyone who had heard of his 'ideal,' whether monster or human, had responded with derision.

But he had to make this happen. If he couldn't, he would have no place in this world until his death!
