I Will Teach You How to Hunt Gods

Chapter 621 172

He understood the meaning of the figure, firstly to refrain from saying anything unnecessary in its presence, and secondly not to mention anything about Yun You's eyes.

Shen Ye had no ability to resist, as those words had already become rules. Even if he tore his mouth open and ripped his soul into pieces, he would not be able to refuse and resist the command.

So in the end, he could only nod obediently.

And at the moment he nodded, the world and figure before him vanished.

He was back at the noisy Great Colosseum, standing once more in front of Yun You.

Facing Yun You's puzzled expression, he paused, and eventually could only shake his head with a bitter smile.

"Sorry."

"It's nothing, please go ahead, help me find relief."

This time, it was Yun You's turn to remain silent.

She could clearly see that Shen Ye was certainly being coerced by something, which was why he couldn't speak.

But what could she do? Facing those High Tier Apprentice Death Gods and the "War Master" in the Great Colosseum, she certainly couldn't deal with the entity threatening and warning Shen Ye.

So after pondering, she could only sigh lightly and nod.

Then, she gently waved her finger, tapping a stone in mid-air, piercing Shen Ye's head.

By now, she didn't hate Shen Ye as much, but she still had no hesitation when killing him.

"I don't blame you, but I must kill you... if you want to be a good person, try harder in your next life."

She said silently.

Listening to Yun You's final "eulogy," Shen Ye peacefully closed his eyes and left this world.

Tier Four Apprentice Death God, Shen Ye, one of the perpetrators of the slaughter tragedy, deceased.

At the age of 42.

This time, Yun You acted quickly, activating the [Eating] Ability at the moment Shen Ye drew his last breath, instantly digesting the remains of the Apprentice Death God.

Thus, as the victory announcement slowly rang, when those Great Colosseum staff came to collect the corpse, they were only met with a few incomplete fragments of bone.

Clearly, these corpse collectors were somewhat unhappy, feeling that Yun You had robbed them of their benefits. After all, the remains could be turned into currency in the Great Colosseum, and the bodies of the powerful were worth a fortune; losing them like this undoubtedly harmed their interests.

They quietly reported the matter, even claiming Yun You had used some special method to hide the remains, but in the end, the War Master from Supreme Heaven delivered the verdict once more—Yun You was innocent, her methods were legitimate.

So the corpse collectors could only leave ashamedly.

And through absorbing Shen Ye's remains, Yun You's Physical Strength also recovered to 70%.

At the same time, she gained part of Shen Ye's memories.

Shen Ye, real name Shen Aqi, born in 2037 in Z District of Nest City No. 3 Lower City.

As we all know, Nest City's district numbers are generally determined by the city's level of development. The more advanced districts, such as areas like A, B, C, are more prosperous and wealthy, whereas the opposite is poorer.

And the Z District where Shen Ye lived was the poorest and one of the most chaotic among all numbered districts.

Precisely for this reason, the steward who harmed Tian En back then directly abandoned Tian En in Z District, because in this hellish place, even for a normal person, sudden death could happen at any time, let alone for a small baby.

The root of Z District's chaos is the endless exploitation by Middle Upper City, as well as the numerous gangs present there.

Although Nest City No. 3 has countless gangs and Cartel Groups, the gangs in Z District are notoriously the most brutal, despicable, and shameless.

Human trafficking, manufacturing and selling prohibited drugs, and organ theft are considered normal industries here, plain and ordinary, nothing strange.

Its real pillar industry is called "film production."

But make no mistake, the films here are not those regular movies or TV shows people see on television; rather, they are special... tailored for Upper City People with peculiar tastes... able to immerse someone, allowing them to tangibly experience the protagonist's senses in "super films."

Upper City People always have to maintain a formality, and things that don't align with mainstream moral standards can't be done publicly, though if done secretly, they might leave some leverage for political rivals to exploit.

But after all, they are human, and as long as they are human, there will always be some shady desires and beastly instincts.

Thus, eventually, the super film industry emerged as the time demands.

The gangs in Lower City captured prohibited scenes through special equipment, attracting the Upper City aristocrats to purchase them, satisfying their desires with peculiar footage and experiences.

And generally speaking, one of these films could sell for tens of thousands of Yabi, exceeding the annual total income of most Lower City civilian families; some rare films could even fetch millions on the Ethernet, and be sold multiple times.

In other words, the profit from these is far more outrageous than selling prohibited drugs; it's truly thousands-fold earnings. Some Cartel Clans who entered the industry early, after making a windfall, transformed overnight into old aristocrats in Upper City, with assets no less than those "old aristocrats."

Hence, most gangs and Cartel Clans in Z District are involved in this business.

At first glance, it seems selling DVDs wouldn't have too much impact, just filming some special movies...

But there's one problem—whether commoners or nobles, their brain pleasure thresholds will keep rising.

Plots that took them to heaven, after watching for a week, became dull, and watching similar films later felt boring.

And once nobles found it boring, they wouldn't spend heavily to purchase.

So eventually, these gangs and Cartel Clans could only continuously lower the standard of their films, using unimaginable methods to torture the civilians they caught to make films.

In the 30s and 40s, the chaos and cruelty of Z District were so extreme that even monsters from Death Domain called them big brother.

When the super film industry reached its peak, Z District and neighboring areas developed a saying, "six hours to redress."

What does it mean? It means someone who was perfectly healthy entering Z District in the morning at six o'clock, if unaccompanied or unarmed, within an hour, they would be bound into the gang's basement, transformed within two hours, shot in three, edited in four, marketed in five...

By the sixth hour, their image would appear on multiple underground platforms and websites, becoming the day's "hot sale."

But by this time, they were literally "redressed," even if they were thrown before their parents, those parents wouldn't recognize their appearance.

In his childhood, Shen Ye grew up in such an extremely chaotic and lawless environment.

Luckily, his parents were among the few normal individuals in Z District.

The couple worked for Z District enterprises; though the pay was low, with the enterprises distributing "Protective Talismans," usually gangs wouldn't reach their hands towards people like them.

But Shen Ye clearly remembered, none of his childhood playmates could play with him for a month.

Those poor children were often caught by gangs from other districts, then kept in the neighborhood, so every time Shen Ye just got to know them, not even familiar with their names, they became protagonists in super films.

Therefore, from young, Shen Ye hated those gangs, as well as super films, and the upper-class masters who bought films.

However, back then his hatred was merely the irritation of "friends being taken away," not yet elevated to hostility and resentment level.

He couldn't personally experience the despair of those children.

But very soon... he could understand that feeling.

In 2050, the tenth corporate war broke out, an unprecedented financial crisis hit Nest City No. 3, and the enterprise employing Shen Ye's parents also went bankrupt in the war.

Without enterprise protection, Mortals faced gangs like sheep without shepherd dogs, easily overpowered.

So Shen Ye remembered that day.

January 17, 2051.

On that day, Shen Ye and his parents also became the... protagonists of a super film.
