NOVPUBYue Ran shot them a disgusted look, then her eyes glimmered with a strange glow. "It's really interesting to see if you can still say the same later."
All the men shared a wild laugh. None of them believed her words; after all, what else could a weak and delicate woman do?
However, it was always interesting to see how a woman would act so aggressively at first, then watch her sink into the dust before their very eyes!
Yue Ran turned her hands several times. The ropes that bound her hands came easily undone with several light movements.
She then stood up, patting the dust off her dress, and smiled brightly at the men that were inching closer to her with every step they took.
"Since you've made me unhappy, don't blame me for entertaining you people instead." Yue Ran ran her hands through her long, black hair, which was a little untidy. "I hope you guys will be as happy when you find yourselves in my place."
Those kidnappers all thought that Yue Ran only had the ability to untie knots but was still weak and couldn't beat them off anyway. They were confident that she could not fight off all six grown men with that small and delicate body of hers.
But the next moment made them instantly change their minds.
The surroundings suddenly turned cold and dead.
The air was thick and oppressive. It smelled of smoke and burned meat.
There was a palpable sense of despair. 𝑛𝑜𝑣𝑝𝑢𝘣.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Everything was bathed in a red glow.
The ground they stepped on darkened, and streams of blood came seeping from the walls and ceiling and down to the ground.
The smell was strong; it was fresh.
"Are you a human or a monster?"
The six men panicked at the sudden change in environment. They trembled and huddled together in fear. The air of death was seeping into their very skins.
They have never believed in supernatural powers or events—things that go beyond scientific understanding and the laws of nature.
But who could explain how Yue Ran could change their terrain with just a snap of her fingers? No illusion could do such a realistic thing!
They were certain that none of them had consumed or injected drugs prior to Yue Ran's kidnapping, so hallucinations were ruled out.
Nothing about this was realistic!
Everything around them felt terrible!
Yue Ran rolled her eyes at their similar reactions.
If they were so easily scared now, what would happen to them later, when more surprises were waiting to greet them?
Thankfully, Yue Ran's soul was tempered in the cultivation world while she played as an immortal cultivator. Even if her body was that of a mortal, her soul was still that of a cultivator's. And thus, utilizing spiritual power was not much of a hassle, especially in the lower worlds.
But it was still such a waste to squander such power on insignificant beings.
If Ruan Ruan had not told her that the four men would arrive late, Yue Ran would not have wasted her powers on teaching these six kidnappers a lesson.
She would never let herself be touched by any of them!
What goes around eventually comes around.
What the kidnappers did in the past will be paid back at this moment in time and forever more, haunting them even in death.
"I hate them!"
"I'm so sad…"
"I want revenge!"
"I resent…"
Dark and gloomy shadows appeared all around Yue Ran like a black sea. Chatter filled her surroundings, bringing despair, dread, and death along with their presences.
For a moment, it felt as if all the negativity and evil in the world filled the area.
Pandora's box has been opened.
"Do you want revenge?" Yue Ran asked.
She couldn't help but sigh inwardly at how much she was sacrificing for this task. Her beautiful dress would get dirty again after this.
Yue Ran is a person who loves cleanliness. If it weren't for the Lord God, who so suddenly threw her into this world, she would have never allowed herself to stay in such a messy environment!
Silence descended on the area. But it was only a moment before the shadows' roars and shrieks reached a crescendo.
"Want!"
"I want my revenge!"
"Let them suffer!"
"We resent!"
"We hate!"
"We want our revenge!"
Even with all the pent-up anger that these souls carry, they still dared not get close to Yue Ran for fear of offending her.
"You can haunt them from now on."
With a wave of her hand, the shadows attached themselves to the six men. Words of gratitude flowed into her ears as she let out a soft yawn.
Those wronged souls finally had a chance to get their revenge.
They were satisfied, feeling so pleased when they saw the horror in these six men's eyes.
"You—you, aren't you all dead?!"
Those wronged souls were the innocent lives killed by the kidnappers. They would rather give up the opportunity of being reincarnated to get one chance at taking their rightful revenge on the six.
"Help!"
"Forgive me, forgive me!"
"I'm sorry!"
But those six men's cries fell on deaf ears.
The six men had never experienced such aggrievedness in their entire lives, and they were helpless about it. There was nothing they could do to prevent the horrors that they were currently facing.
Yue Ran let out another yawn, feeling a little bored while she waited for the ghosts to have their fill before she'd drag one of the six men away to do her bidding.
Shrieks of laughter and screams of horror filled the building in the moonless night. Cries and howls echoed in every crevice of the building.
Half an hour had passed, and Yue Ran casually dragged a man, who was bawling his eyes out, out of the infinite darkness.
Her eyes were only filled with disgust as she stared at the man that she had tugged along.
He should've thought twice before doing evil. What these men did to those innocent mortals was way worse than what they were currently experiencing right now.
Yue Ran searched his pocket and found a pocket knife in it. She took the man's hand and slashed across his palm.
Fresh blood immediately gushed out from the open wound.
Yue Ran ignored the exclamation coming from the man and splashed the blood on her dress, her skin, and her face. She also ripped the ends of her dress with her own hands and used the pocket knife to slash out a few parts of her baby pink dress before staining it with more blood.
The man dared not let out a word of protest all throughout. He was afraid that Yue Ran would once again push him into the pitch-black hellhole full of ghosts.
At least the girl in front of him still looked human, and he didn't have to go through the mental torture inflicted on those innocent lives he killed.
And whether Yue Ran is a human or not, he didn't even know it himself, nor did he want to know more.
He only wished to get out of here alive!
But he didn't know that even if Yue Ran had let them go, those ghosts wouldn't.
Sure, these men could go out alive after this experience, but they will forever be haunted by the ghosts of the pasts for the rest of their lives.
