61: Chapter 61 Dazai's Pain
The terrifying aura that had been pressing down on everyone's heads like a dark cloud suddenly dissipated with extreme speed, as if it had never appeared at all.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but heave a long sigh of relief.
Just at this moment, Qin Xiaogan was intently scrutinizing everyone present.
【Reincarnation】
Within Qin Xiaogan's eyes, a compass resembling annual rings could be seen, slowly and silently rotating.
Stared at fixedly by Qin Xiaogan's torch-like gaze, everyone felt their hearts involuntarily tremble violently.
As if they had been completely seen through by Qin Xiaogan, an intense sense of discomfort instantly spread.
Qin Xiaogan's eyes narrowed.
He suddenly realized that, in his eyes, everyone's bodies were suddenly becoming indistinct.
Soon, strings of soul information began to emerge from within their illusory bodies.
This information contained everything about them, even though it was clearly just a small string of characters.
Yet, Qin Xiaogan only needed to take a single glance to understand their past and present lives.
Even the time, place, and people involved were all crystal clear.
Qin Xiaogan's expression remained unchanged, yet his brows arched slightly in an inadvertent gesture.
If combined with the "Avici Trait," would that mean he could not only see through others' reincarnations but also change them?
Thinking of this, Qin Xiaogan's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems he must improve his strength as soon as possible and use the "Avici Trait" early.
Whether it is to change others or to uncover the truth of that year, this ability will be of great use.
However, before that.
Qin Xiaogan's deep eyes suddenly turned toward the Grand Chancellor at Wu Yishui's feet.
The Grand Chancellor felt a chill in his heart from being watched by Qin Xiaogan's eyes.
The compass in Qin Xiaogan's eyes rotated slowly, flashing with an eerie light from time to time.
Qin Xiaogan's gaze became somewhat unfocused, and he was in a trance for a moment.
Subsequently, he parted his lips slightly and said slowly, "What a miserable dog."
As soon as these words were spoken.
Within the Grand Chancellor's eyes, a look of extreme pain flashed instantly, mixed with endless sorrow.
His entire body was trembling violently and uncontrollably, as if he was trying his best to restrain some emotion that was about to burst forth.
Wu Yishui looked down at the Grand Chancellor with great worry.
Immediately, she slowly crouched down, just about to reach out her hand to stroke him gently.
Just at this moment, the Grand Chancellor suddenly let out a piercing howl, instantly shaking off Wu Yishui's jade-white hand with great force.
Wu Yishui's expression changed abruptly; enduring the waves of sharp pain coming from her wrist, she said with deep concern.
"Why did he suddenly become like this?"
Huo Wushuang, watching from the side, snorted coldly, "What a stupid dog, you dare to hurt your master?"
Hearing this, the Marquis of Champions' expression darkened.
He becomes a lovesick fool the moment he sees Wu Yishui.
You damn fool, look closely at who this dog is.
After hearing what Huo Wushuang said, the Grand Chancellor slowly raised his dog head with an indifferent expression, his eyes staring fixedly at Huo Wushuang like sharp swords.
Fixed by the Grand Chancellor's stare, Huo Wushuang felt a chill run through his heart, a coldness surging from deep within.
Just as he was about to say something.
The Marquis of Champions swiftly raised his hand and struck the back of his head hard with extreme urgency.
"Slap!"
Accompanied by a very crisp sound.
Huo Wushuang couldn't help but cover the back of his head in pain.
Subsequently, the Marquis of Champions solemnly clasped his hands in a salute toward the Grand Chancellor and said sincerely,
"My child is truly foolish and dull; he unintentionally offended Lord Big Face. I hope you will be generous and forgive him."
Huo Wushuang, standing to the side, gritted his teeth, feeling extremely displeased.
Since when did his Huo family need to look at a dog's expression?
The Grand Chancellor did not bicker with Huo Wushuang.
His black eyes stared fixedly at Qin Xiaogan, as if wanting to see through him.
Qin Xiaogan looked at those pitch-black dog eyes, chuckled, and said slowly, "I will give you two choices."
"Be obedient and be a good dog."
"Disobedient, and be a dead dog."
As soon as these words were spoken.
The Grand Chancellor's eyes flickered violently for an instant, the light swaying unsteadily like a candle in the wind, as if he were undergoing an extremely intense struggle deep within his heart.
He did not trust humans at all, and even less did he want to become a plaything in human hands once again.
Because, ever since the Grand Chancellor was very small, he had lived in fear and pain.
His master was a short-tempered and cold person who often took his frustrations out on the Grand Chancellor due to life's dissatisfactions.
He would often come home dead drunk and then vent all his grievances on the Grand Chancellor.
He would use a thick, hard wooden stick to beat the Grand Chancellor fiercely, each strike leaving the Grand Chancellor's skin torn and flesh mangled, dripping with blood.
The Grand Chancellor would wail in pain, but this only made the master crazier, striking even harder.
Sometimes, the master would hang the Grand Chancellor up, leaving his limbs suspended in the air, and then torture him in various cruel ways.
For example, burning his body with cigarette butts, or cutting his skin with sharp objects.
The Grand Chancellor's body was covered in scars, both new and old; there was not a single intact spot.
He lived in extreme fear every day, not even daring to sleep, because he didn't know when the master would suddenly go crazy and hurt him again.
He had also tried to run away, but each time he was caught back by the master, and what awaited him was even more inhumane abuse.
Once, because the master had been slighted outside, he came home, tied the Grand Chancellor to a pillar, and used a red-hot iron block to burn the Grand Chancellor's eyes.
The Grand Chancellor's eyes were burned blind; he let out desperate screams in endless pain, but this could not evoke even a shred of pity from the master.
As time passed, the Grand Chancellor's body became weaker and weaker, and he could barely stand.
But the master still did not stop his abuse of him, as if the Grand Chancellor were merely a tool for him to vent on.
Days passed one by one like this; the scars on the Grand Chancellor's body grew more numerous, and his spirit became increasingly withered.
He began to become extremely timid, and even the slightest sound would make him tremble with fear.
Finally, one day, the master became completely tired of the Grand Chancellor; he took the Grand Chancellor to a very far place, then threw him away like trash and left.
The Grand Chancellor lay on the cold ground, watching the master's departing back, his heart filled with pain and despair.
He did not know where he should go, nor did he know why he was living.
The Grand Chancellor used his last ounce of strength, struggled to crawl to a dark corner, and then lay there quietly.
His breathing became weaker and weaker, and his life was slipping away bit by bit.
Just when he thought he could finally find release.
A magnificent voice sounded beside his ears.
【Global Awakening, Second Stage Initiated】
Subsequently, his body instantly and without warning burst apart directly; the scene of the explosion was shocking.
Immediately after, his soul, carrying a monstrous agony that seemed capable of drowning everything, rushed toward the high sky like a swift bolt of lightning, as if wanting to vent this endless pain into the world.
He swore to make everyone personally feel the indescribable agony he had once experienced, to let them also experience this heart-wrenching pain.
Thus, the terrifying Big Face descended into the world.
