Chapter 208: Wait for Me in Hell

The world of an individual is actually very small.

Society may seem vast, but the personal world is small.

There might be fifty people in the world who are your soulmates, but you may never meet even one your whole life.

Because humans may only know a thousand people from birth to death, and some may not even know a thousand.

Even if you love making friends, the number will never reach four digits. This is incredibly insignificant compared to the millions or thousands of people in big cities.

For a student, the world they know is only composed of their family and school.

A person’s worldview can be grand, but not everyone believes they have wings to enjoy freedom.

Freedom is a luxury, it confines the canary but also protects it.

Judy Selvicer is trapped in such a narrow world.

Her original family has brought her the greatest pain and pressure.

So, in order to shift this pain, she became the bad person in school.

She envied or was jealous of those who had good families, with happiness shining on their faces. The biggest topics they discussed were luxurious troubles like skipping classes, deciding what to eat for lunch, and how to approach love. She felt out of place in this context, causing her to feel disgust, frustration, anger, and then seek a release.

Until this venting was also blocked and disrupted, she became the subject of ridicule, and the school became one of the sources of mental pressure.

She began to seek other outlets but was constantly restrained by the high-pressure of her family’s education, not daring to indulge in alcohol or nightclubs.

At this moment, someone gently pushed her from behind, and she willingly became a laboratory mouse.

If her fellow students at school knew, they would only find it unbelievable. How could such a proud and assertive woman be so fragile?

Fragile, that’s right. Those who walk on the edge of the cliff find it difficult to turn back. One thought leads to heaven, one thought leads to hell.

People who grew up amidst domestic violence either become perpetrators or victims, but they are equally fragile. They harbor deep destructive impulses under such violence and are easily swayed by words.

So when she realized that she had no place in school, family, or society, intense despair clung to her heart.

Judy didn’t want to go back, didn’t want to return home to be scolded by her mother and confronted by her younger brother.

She also didn’t want to go back, didn’t want to return to school and endure the strange gazes of her classmates, the backbiting and ridicule, and the pitying looks of her professors.

She even willingly became a guinea pig, craving power, accepting curses, but still failed the same.

Even walking the path of evil only leads to a moment of destruction… What else is there to be infatuated with?

She has faced a bleak life for so long, it is time to escape.

Though escape is shameful, it is useful.

The ultimate escape is none other than death.

Let herself die in this place, die in the depths of the earth, die somewhere unknown, let the body decay, let the soul fall, everything returning to nothingness. No longer facing all the pain of the world, the cries, mockery, screams, and insults of those above ground will never be heard again, not disturbing her slumber, embracing the eternal void and tranquility.

Isn’t this… a good thing?

For someone as rotten as myself and a life as rotten as this, don’t I have the right to turn off?

She was persuaded.

Judy wanted to escape. She struggled until now, worked hard until now, but only made the situation worse. She simply wanted to lie flat, forever and ever, without moving or breathing.

Her left hand obediently picked up a stone knife from the workbench and stabbed it into her heart from below the ribs. Even for a Blooded, there was no way to reverse destiny.

However, her wry smile was once again shattered.

Another soul within her body let out a thunderous roar.

It was some dirty words.

She didn’t understand, but…

It’s profanity.

Immediately after, the stone knife in her hand was slapped away by another hand, and the blade grazed her fingertips, causing a sharp pain to shoot through.

The sharp pain made her shoulder tremble.

Because their souls were close, she could perceive the other half of the soul, burning hot and profound.

He coldly sneered in anger, "You also deserve to be called a mentor?"

Gamira, without any sense of honor, replied, "It’s just a title."

Bai Wei said coldly, "Although my impression of you is already bad enough, you managed to surpass my previous level of disgust."

Gamira sneered, "Are you sympathizing with her? Are you trying to say she is innocent? No, no, no, she made her own choices and brewed her own misfortune. I simply gave her options, and now even if she goes back, she won’t have a good outcome, better to…"

"Shut up!"

A golden light flickered in one side of the pupil.

As a former master of the world and an educator, he couldn’t tolerate such a contemptible statement. He couldn’t bear to listen to a single word, it was an insult to his ears.

"What do you mean by her choices… When a person is desperate, even if they know the path leads to the abyss, they can only jump because of their acceptance of the current situation and their desire for change."

"If one chooses to completely escape, there are countless ways to do so. Your inducement is simply exploiting the weak points of people’s hearts. You don’t deserve to call yourself a mentor or an educator. You’re just a not-so-clever fraud, capable of deceiving only inexperienced students."

"The most deserving of death is you, and you will undoubtedly die today."

Bai Wei changed the subject of the conversation and turned to the silent Judy.

"Heaven and hell reside in one thought."

"Your mistake was in encountering the wrong person, and it was them who didn’t give you the right to choose, pushing you step by step to this point."

"You are an unfortunate person, but not someone who deserves death."

"So, don’t mistake the direction your blade should be aimed at."

"Even if the whole world has countless reasons to apologize to you, you shouldn’t despise yourself."

"Judy Selvicer, the mastermind is right in front of you. Isn’t it a pity to choose self-annihilation at this moment? There is a kind of tragedy in this world, known as dying before dawn!"

Judy felt thunderstruck.

Gamira roared, "How noble and righteous you sound! But you’re just trying to use her! You and I are no different!"

Bai Wei didn’t deny it, "Yeah, but I’m a little better than you, at least… when I use her, I can also teach her something."

In her confusion, Judy felt the control of her body return to her. A pair of hands went around her shoulders and gently grasped her hands. Then, blood flowed, transforming into a longsword held in her fingers and palm.

"Listen…"

She felt the weight pressing on her shoulders and gradually relaxing the muscles. It taught her the most suitable posture for holding a sword.

No one had ever taught her like this before. She had always practiced diligently on her own, but now she realized that her sword posture was incorrect.

The voice continued to correct her movements without stopping.

"Being a good child is certainly nice, but when you truly encounter something that harms you, it is not necessary to obediently comply."

"All the hurt is an attempt to wear down your edges. If you’re unwilling, learn to tightly grip your weapon and say no to those who harm you."

"He wants you dead, so you must stay alive… because in life, good things can always happen."

"Judy Selvicer, this is the first lesson I’m teaching you, and perhaps it will also be the last."

"Remember, this lesson is called… rebellion!"

Her arm was lifted, the long sword aimed at the Hundred-eyed Demon. Suddenly, a golden light flowed along the blade, shining brightly like the brilliance of dawn.

It was beautiful.

The beauty of this golden color made her feel familiar.

Bai Wei let go of the control and handed the sword over to her, but didn’t further coerce her.

"Whether to swing the sword or not, I leave the decision in your hands. This is something only you are qualified to decide."

"Once you decide, don’t regret it, because from now on, you won’t have the option to escape anymore."

"It’s a choice between struggling against your miserable life, seeking revenge, and forgiving your weak self, resting in peace."

"Choose for yourself."

He had taught everything he needed to, but the decision was not in his hands. Bai Wei stepped back half a step and waited.

Looking at the sword in her hand.

Judy asked, "If I don’t want to die, does that mean I can only fight?"

Bai Wei answered, "Yes."

Judy asked again, "What if things become even worse in the future, what should I do?"

Bai Wei laughed heartily and said, "Could it possibly get worse than it is now?"

Judy was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter.

She laughed until tears flowed from her eyes.

"Yes, it couldn’t be any more terrifying than it is now."

Holding the sword, she moved forward.

Gamira angrily shouted, "I am your guide, you can’t…"

There was no response, only the blade.

The body of the Hundred-eyed Demon stirred. It wasn’t that it couldn’t move, but it was adapting. Stimulated by the desire to survive, its body was compelled, unleashing a tremendous power that shook the entire underground chamber.

Accompanied by a dazzling purple light, violent magic and air currents mixed with smoke and dust, covering nearly half of the field of view.

The dark depths of the abyss suddenly became intensely dark for a moment, then extremely bright the next.

Among the shifting colors, there was only a gentle push forward of a golden hue.

A faint golden flame burned on Judy’s body, warm enough to dispel the alluring purple magic and the crimson curse of decay.

She gripped the sword and thrust it into the arm of the Hundred-eyed Demon.

Her body was weak, but she had never felt so agile and full of strength.

It was as if she was running on the path of liberation, with every bit of resistance causing her to unleash even stronger resilience.

This sword cut through Hundred-eyed Demon’s half-arm like a bamboo, with the sword light less than three meters away from the demon’s head, close to its chest.

She raised the sharp blade, seeing reflections of madness and despair in the opponent’s eyes.

How hideous.

She thought to herself.

I can’t believe I was deceived by him…

Or was I like this before?

If I am destined to be deceived, I at least hope to be deceived by someone better. If a lie is repeated a hundred times and concealed for a lifetime, it is no longer a lie.

"Wait for me in hell."

The sword blade cleaved through the head, instantly splitting it into two.

"…When I get to hell, I’ll kill you again!"

She grasped the sword handle, thrust it in deeper, and then pulled it out, creating a blood-colored arc with blood splattering onto her black stockings.

"Phew~"

Bai Wei couldn’t help but whistle, blood raining down, a picturesque sight of a beautiful woman.

At the moment when Judy swung the sword, her inner essence had already undergone an irreversible change.

The obedient daughter of the past no longer existed, even if her future life was not smooth sailing, she had the courage to face it and overcome it.

That’s the charm of education, isn’t it?

By speaking the right words at the right time, in the right place, to the right person, the path of life can be rewritten.

"How does it feel to be rebellious?"

"…Terrific."

She stretched lazily and then fell back onto her back.

Her spiritual power was completely depleted, and after a brief surge, she once again fell into a weak slumber.

Bai Wei took over the body once again, glanced at the dead demon’s corpse, then set the entire studio on fire, burning away all traces.

While burning, he discovered a well-hidden hidden door, behind which was a graveyard with two stone coffins.

On the stone coffins lay a diary, after a quick glance, Bai Wei threw the diary into the flames, also igniting the tomb chamber.

Even the most despicable people have their pitiful side… Scarlet Curse can indeed awaken the dead, but only as a projection of the Chaotic Witch’s consciousness.

Certainly, even the original ancient deity cannot bring someone back to life. Complete resurrection is a miracle that no one can achieve. As for the method of crossing time lines, it is not resurrection, but a shortcut.

"Next, it’s time to return to the surface… " Bai Wei looked up at the long road leading upwards, "There are still three hours until dawn in Yingzhou, hopefully I can make it."

Within three hours, conquering an ancient abyss is simply going against the flow, probably not too difficult.

At dusk, Bai Wei climbed the steps and walked out of the basement, stretching lazily towards the evening sun.
