Chapter 878: Never Judge a Book by Its Cover
Yang Haoran quickly realized Guyi's exceptional learning abilities and talents after activating his ghost eye, which allowed him to see the deceased's life experiences. Based on Guyi's past, he could determine if she truly possessed remarkable abilities.
Yang Haoran's mind flashed through Guyi's entire life like a fast-forwarded movie, and in an instant, he gained a comprehensive understanding of her life.
Guyi's life was very short, as she passed away at the young age of 20. For an ordinary person, dying at 20 is indeed a tragically short life, without having the chance to properly see the world before leaving it, which is undoubtedly regrettable.
However, at this moment, Yang Haoran did not dwell on the brevity of Guyi's life, as his attention was focused elsewhere.
The information obtained through the ghost eye revealed that Guyi was indeed a talented individual. Although she had not achieved any remarkable accomplishments, she had been blessed with exceptional intelligence and learning abilities since childhood. She could quickly immerse herself in any task and learn it proficiently, even if it was something she had never encountered before. In this regard, she had not lied to Yang Haoran.
But what surprised Yang Haoran the most was not her abilities; it was the incident that led to her death.
Guyi died recently, during a time when her city was engulfed in war. The city was conquered, and a large number of soldiers flooded in. However, their objective was not to kill the people but to incorporate the city into their own territory. The ordinary citizens would be accepted if they did not resist, but if they did, the consequence would be death.
Of course, the ordinary people had no intention of resisting. On one hand, they lacked the ability to do so, and on the other, they simply wanted to live their lives peacefully. As long as their safety was guaranteed and they could survive in this chaotic world without starving, it made no difference to them who ruled.
Guyi was just a 20-year-old girl and an ordinary person. She had no reason to resist, but misfortune did not spare her despite her compliance.
The two soldiers were attracted to the petite and adorable Guyi, and even Guyi's mother became a target for their beastly urges. Although Guyi's father fought to the death to stop them, he was unsuccessful and lost his own life in the process.
With no men left in the household, only two defenseless women remained. The soldiers believed they no longer posed a threat, and since wearing their bulletproof vests and carrying guns would interfere with their enjoyment, they discarded their weapons and armor. One soldier pounced on Guyi, while the other attacked her mother.
Although Guyi's mother was attractive, she paled in comparison to Guyi, who was 20 years old and possessed a strong allure for the two soldiers. They argued over who would get to have Guyi, but they quickly reached an agreement.
Perhaps due to pent-up desires or the need to hurry, the two soldiers decided to take turns with Guyi and then exchange partners for a second round, ensuring that neither of them felt shortchanged.
To determine who would go first with Guyi, they played a simple game of rock-paper-scissors in front of Guyi and her mother. Once the result was decided, the two soldiers, half-dressed, pounced on Guyi and her mother.
The mother and daughter fought for their lives, but Guyi's mother failed to break free from the soldier's clutches, perhaps due to panic or the soldier's physical strength. The reference version of this chapter is on M*V*LEMPYR.
Despite her small and petite stature, coupled with her quick reflexes, she managed to successfully dodge the soldier's lunge at the last moment. The soldier, instead of getting angry, became even more excited, with a lecherous grin on his face as he lunged towards her again!
At that moment, Guyi's instinct was to rush towards the door and flee the scene, but upon remembering her mother being violated by that beast, she immediately changed her mind. However, just as she made this decision, the soldier who had lunged at her was already upon her.
With the path in front blocked by the soldier and his physique, it was impossible for the unarmed Guyi to break through his blockade. Helpless, she could only turn around and flee into the kitchen behind her.
As soon as she rushed into the kitchen, the soldier pursued her with a lecherous grin. From behind, she could hear her mother's agonizing cries and the other soldier's urging voice.
"Hurry up! Don't take too long, or I'll be done with this one before you even start. I won't let you off if that happens. You must hand that little girl over to me. As for this old hag beneath me, you can do whatever you want with her!"
The urging voice of the soldier had barely faded when a scream of agony rang out from the kitchen. However, this scream did not come from Guyi, but from the soldier who had chased her into the kitchen.
Hearing the scream, the other soldier was initially puzzled, but soon couldn't resist mocking the screaming soldier.
"In this situation, I can understand your desire to scream, but you're not doing it right. You should scream more passionately, more enjoyably, haha!"
The soldier burst into laughter. The agonizing scream continued in the kitchen, laced with intense fear. The soldier's position prevented him from seeing the situation inside the kitchen, so he had no idea what was happening.
However, as the screams grew more and more agonizing and fearful, he realized that something was amiss. This was not the kind of scream one would make while enjoying themselves. Even the most depraved person would not let out such a blood-curdling scream while in the throes of pleasure.
The soldier knew that something had gone wrong in the kitchen. He tried to get up and enter the kitchen to investigate, but at that moment, a blood-soaked Guyi burst out of the kitchen, a dripping meat cleaver in her hand, charging straight at him!
The soldier was startled. In this situation, he no longer had the urge to release his bestial desires. He scrambled and crawled towards where he had dropped his gun, hoping to use it to subdue Guyi, but before he could reach it, he felt a knife in his back.
The soldier let out a scream of agony as the excruciating pain shot through his nerves. He knew he had to fight back, or he would be hacked to death. In his desperation, he gritted his teeth through the pain and kicked Guyi away with his foot, using the opportunity to lunge towards the gun on the floor.
In a split second, the soldier managed to grab the gun. However, just as he grasped it, a blood-stained meat cleaver came down from above, slicing into his wrist with tremendous force.
Fresh blood sprayed as the sharp cleaver severed the soldier's entire hand. The gun he had dropped to the ground remained out of his reach.
Guyi did not stop there. After cutting off the soldier's hand, she swung the cleaver again and again, hacking the soldier dozens of times as he screamed in agony and terror. Each strike was swift and frenzied. Even after the soldier had clearly lost all signs of life, her cleaver continued its relentless assault.
The soldier's agonizing screams caught the attention of the other soldiers outside. The door was broken down, and the bloody scene inside startled the arriving soldiers, even though they were accustomed to witnessing life and death, and bloodshed.
The soldiers who regained their composure did not hesitate. They immediately opened fire on the frenzied Guyi wielding the cleaver. There were no surprises - Guyi died under the barrage of gunfire from the soldiers.
Yang Haoran could not know what happened after that, as his ghost eye could not see the experiences of the dead after their demise.
Yang Haoran was surprised to discover that this seemingly delicate, cute, and fragile Guyi could be so ferocious when pushed to the limit. It just goes to show that one cannot judge a book by its cover.
However, Yang Haoran approved of Guyi's actions. If he were in her shoes, he would have been even more ruthless than her!
