38: Li Shilan's nightmare has ended.

After two more days, Ai Yue decided to find the enemies from her previous life to alleviate the recurring nightmares.

Ai Yue wanted to go alone, but the meticulous Li Shilan noticed something was amiss. After being questioned closely, Ai Yue had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Yueyue, take the two of us. I want to kill those beasts with my own hands." Li Shilan said, blocking the departing Ai Yue.

Li Shilan and Ai Guosheng looked at Ai Yue with extreme seriousness. Ai Yue knew they had made up their minds, so she stopped trying to dissuade them. She picked up Dàwáng and said, "Alright, our family will go seek revenge! But when you see the enemies, don't get emotional. It's best to kill them with the least possible cost..."

Fearing accidents, Ai Yue discussed every possible scenario thoroughly with her parents before the three, now fully equipped, set off.

Near Jinhua Residential Area, Ai Yue stored the hummer. The three people and one cat carefully climbed the tallest building in the vicinity.

On the rooftop, Ai Yue used a Hubble telescope to carefully observe the surrounding situation.

Nothing unusual!

No suspicious people were found either!

Not until an hour later did three men emerge from behind a building, pushing a young married woman with sinister smiles, heading toward a nearby office building.

Ai Yue's gaze sharpened. She recognized one of the men as the person who had chased her in her previous life.

"Found them. Let's go!" Ai Yue put away the telescope and signaled her parents to follow. The two didn't ask anything, knowing their precious daughter had found the target.

Gripping the pistols in their hands, they followed closely behind Ai Yue, running toward the office building.

Ai Yue and the two others hid in a concealed spot near the office building, finding that both the front and back doors were guarded. Fearing they might alert the enemy, the three hugged the base of the office building's wall and circled it. Seeing an open window on the second floor, Ai Yue retrieved the flying tiger claws she had bought from an outdoor supplies store from her spatial storage. With a single swing of her arm, the flying tiger claws firmly grasped the window frame.

Ai Yue tugged hard. After confirming it was secure, she pulled on the rope, jumped once, then jumped again, and flew through the window. Upon landing, she immediately raised her gun in caution, finding that this floor was empty.

Ai Yue returned to the second-floor window and signaled the two to climb up. The long period of training hadn't been for nothing; Ai Guosheng and his wife climbed up with ease.

After putting away the flying tiger claws, Ai Yue quietly led the way, searching floor by floor. Anyone they encountered whom she hadn't seen in her previous life was knocked unconscious. If they were villains she recognized from her past, Ai Yue and the two others ruthlessly slit their throats.

They continued climbing until they reached the seventh floor, the top floor. Before the Apocalypse, this floor housed an E-commerce company, but now it served as the villains' lair.

Ai Yue and the two others easily dealt with the guards at the door. No one had discovered them since they entered. Ai Yue silently complained that this faction's vigilance was quite low.

Pushing the door open, Ai Yue and the two others could no longer smile. What was this place? It was simply an abyss of depravity. They saw a group of disgusting brutes taking turns humiliating a Little Girl. The Little Girl's eyes were hollow, and she let the people on her body do as they pleased, like a withered corpse.

Despite such horrific inhumanity, many people nearby were holding women, fondling them, yet watching the live scene with great relish, even commenting and occasionally letting out hateful sounds of loud laughter.

Seeing this scene, murderous bloodlust flashed in the eyes of Ai Yue and the two others.

Since they were no longer human, there was no need for them to remain in the world.

Conveniently, everyone they were looking for was here. They could all go to hell together!

The three walked in and turned around to shut the door tight. Seeing people enter, the beasts finally reacted, frantically grabbing weapons like machetes and wooden sticks nearby. The few closest to the door saw only three people, two of whom were beautiful women, and they couldn't help but relax. Just as they were about to crack a few jokes, Ai Yue moved toward them with extreme speed, slitting the throat of every single one.

Ai Guosheng and Li Shilan were equally fierce, killing everyone they saw. Hot blood sprayed onto them, but they didn't care; they wanted this scalding blood to cleanse this filthy space.

The leader realized that their large group couldn't defeat the three opponents. Panicked, he quickly shouted, "Three ladies, let's talk this out! Whatever you want, I'll give it to you—everything! Just please spare us!"

Ai Yue and the two others disdained talking to him and kept moving. The men filling the room were like lambs waiting to be slaughtered, completely unable to resist.

The leader watched the three people, who resembled Death Gods, mercilessly harvesting their lives.

Knowing they wouldn't spare him, he glared, raised the machete in his hand, and charged toward Li Shilan while shouting.

Li Shilan, whose eyes were red with killing intent, saw the man who had killed her in her previous life hacking toward her. Enemies meeting again made her furious.

Li Shilan let out a roar and plunged her knife into the man's heart. The machete the leader held high above his head instantly froze in mid-air.

He looked down at the military knife piercing his heart, then slowly looked up at Li Shilan. His eyes wide with unwillingness, he died.

Li Shilan looked at the "nightmare" dead in her hands. She squeezed her eyes shut tightly, then snapped them open, forcefully pulling back her knife. The man's corpse slammed onto the floor with a "Peng" sound, kicking up a roomful of dust.

Li Shilan's nightmare had dispersed.

A quarter of an hour later.

Ai Yue took off her own clothes and covered the body of the Little Girl, who was lying naked and numb on the table. The Little Girl seemed to have lost all perception of the outside world, maintaining her slumped position on the table from the moment Ai Yue and the others entered, killed, and finished.

Seeing her like this, Ai Yue's eyes felt sore. She couldn't help but bend down and hug her, whispering softly, "It's alright. Everything is over. The big bad wolf was killed by your elder sister and can never hurt you again."

The Little Girl's numb eyeballs shifted, and a line of clear tears streamed down from the corner of her eye.

After a long while, she whispered, "Sister, please kill me."

Ai Yue raised her head, looked at her steadily, and said word by word, "Death settles everything, but while you are alive, there is always hope. Life is tough, but there must still be something you cherish. Life is yours; you have the right to decide your own fate. I will leave you a knife. If you want to live, use it to protect yourself well. If you want to die, use it to end yourself."

Ai Yue placed the blood-stained military knife from her hand into the Little Girl's hand and gripped it tightly, as if giving the Little Girl the courage to live.

Just then, a seductive woman who had been hiding in the corner suddenly rushed out with a cry of "Ah!" and began punching and kicking Ai Guosheng. "Why did you kill them? They're dead, what about me? Will you support me? Ah..."

Ai Guosheng was momentarily careless, and the woman scratched his hand.

Ai Guosheng saw her as pitiful, so he only blocked her without striking back, making him look somewhat flustered for a moment.

Ai Yue couldn't bear to watch. She let go of the Little Girl's hand, quickly walked over, grabbed the woman's hair, dragged her back about a meter, and then fiercely slapped her across the face.

Just as Ai Yue was fiercely teaching the woman a lesson, the Little Girl lying on the table tightened her grip on the knife and murmured, "Something I cherish? Mom..."
