Lei Ge's eyes were full of hatred. He hated aliens, humans, and the world.

However, compared to these, he hated An Chengdao more.

Because, in his eyes, An Chengdao was the Chosen One.

This hatred was twisted, because he knew that he could not defeat the world, so he vented all the accumulated hatred on the Chosen One.

After all, in the place where he lived, only those who became the Chosen One could cross the class and get rid of the status of a beast.

He might be envious of others for what he could not get, but over time, this envy turned into hatred.

But at this time, he knew very well that he was not An Chengdao's opponent at all, and he could not kill him.

So, he set his sights on the people around An Chengdao.

He bit Zhang Cheng's leg fiercely, and he could bite off a piece of meat even through his pants.

The fire burning in the village made the rats and strange birds in the forest dare not approach, but this was only temporary.

The fire will eventually go out, and at that time, the bloody smell of Zhang Cheng's wound will surely attract rats and strange birds again.

However, his plan failed.

When he moved, An Chengdao reacted in time.

He stretched out his hand and pulled Zhang Cheng away. Lei Ge's teeth almost touched Zhang Cheng's leg, but in the end he only bit his pants.

"You dare to bite me!"

Lu Linhai came back to his senses and was furious. He raised the steel rod in his hand and hit Brother Lei.

Lu Linhai cursed until Zhang Cheng waved his hand. He didn't stop.

Zhang Cheng didn't seem angry about Brother Lei's behavior just now.

"What, you think you are going to die, so you want to drag me down with you?" He looked at Brother Lei on the ground, but this time he did not approach him, but went around behind Brother Lei.

"Don't be afraid, we are not such cruel people"

"We are very kind, especially me. I faint at the sight of blood and violence."

"So, as long as you cooperate with us and tell us everything you know, you still have a chance to survive."

"But——"

When he said this, Zhang Cheng's tone changed.

From the gentle tone at the beginning, he suddenly became low.

"If you don't cooperate, we have ways to make you speak up."

He smiled and looked up at the twisted trees growing around the village.

"I remember people in your village said that if you get pricked by the thorns on these trees, the pricked area will itch terribly."

"Tell me, if we give you a few injections, can you bear it?"

Zhang Cheng gritted his teeth and shivered artificially, then walked to a place where Lei Ge could see him but couldn't reach him, pretending to be scratching his back.

"That feeling, hiss——"

"I want to scratch it but I can't. It feels like countless bugs are crawling around on it, and occasionally they'll bite me."

"Of course, I will help you choose a few good places to pierce. For example, the soles of the feet, the ear canals, the armpits, and by the way, what do you think of the tongue? Or the gums?"

Zhang Cheng paused, he thought about it, and glanced at the inside of Lei Ge's thigh with a sly smile:"That seems to be a good place too."

"......"Lu Linhai was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhang Cheng, and stepped back to Lin Yi's side.

"Is this not cruel?"

Lin Yi shook his head. He knew that Zhang Cheng said this to scare Lei Ge and make him tell what he knew.

It was like a possible hope and an inevitable despair were placed in front of you, asking you to make a choice.

However, Lin Yi knew very well that Lei Ge would not be afraid at all, at least not Zhang Cheng.

The roofless house in the north of the village was the best evidence.

"Hahaha——"

Just as Lin Yi thought, before Zhang Cheng finished speaking, Brother Lei burst into laughter, his laughter full of disdain.

"Don't bother with that."Brother Lei looked at Zhang Cheng and said

"It's actually very simple to torture me. Just cut a few holes on my body with a knife and then hang me on a tree."

"The smell of blood will attract rats and strange birds, and the strange birds will keep pecking at my body, one after another."

"The rat would crawl into my body through my wounds, gnawing and drilling deeper."

"This method will not kill me immediately, but will also allow me to feel my flesh being eaten away bit by bit."

"If I'm unlucky, maybe my hands and feet will be gnawed to the bones but I'm still alive. By then, I can even see my bones being gnawed by these strange things."

Except for Lin Yi and Zhou Kai who had seen the roofless house, everyone else couldn't help but frown.

Compared with the house full of bones, what Zhang Cheng said before was just child's play.

Zhang Cheng seemed a little frustrated, but he quickly relaxed his brows and continued,"Your method sounds too cruel."

"Didn't I just say that we are kind, especially me, who is afraid of blood"

"I really can't do such a cruel thing."

"Not as good as......"Zhang Cheng paused, then slowed down his speech and continued,"Why don't we send you back?""

"How about sending you back to the City of Oracles, back to your hometown that you always long for?"

"Oh, I'm so kind."

"......"Lei Ge's laughter suddenly stopped.

Lin Yi was stunned at first, and couldn't help but admire Zhang Cheng.

Indeed, Lei Ge might not be afraid of them, nor was he afraid of death.

However, he was afraid of something.

That thing was the place where he once lived, the place called"City of Oracles".

He was more afraid of going back than dying here.

"Kill me if you can!" Lei Ge said while gritting his teeth.

"I have no ability." Zhang Cheng shrugged,"Look at me, a student who just graduated from high school, what ability can I have?"

"Besides, I am such a kind person. I am scared just thinking about killing people."

"Kill me! Kill me!"Lei Ge yelled hysterically and even started to hit his head on the ground. An Chengdao frowned and took two or three steps to step on his head to prevent him from hitting his head.

"Now, can you tell me everything you know?"Seeing An Chengdao stepping on Lei Ge's head, Zhang Cheng walked in front of Lei Ge.

"I don’t know, I don’t know anything!" Lei Ge’s body trembled slightly, and even his tone of voice was mixed with fear.

""Still not behaving!" Lu Linhai yelled,"We will send you back immediately!"

Zhang Cheng kept staring into Lei Ge's eyes, and after a moment, he shook his head.

"Forget it. Looking at his appearance, he really doesn't know anything."

"Impossible, he must be lying." Lu Linhai was a little unconvinced.

"He didn't need to lie."Lin Yi shook his head,"When people are facing what they fear the most and cannot overcome this fear, they will not lie."

"Besides, his situation is similar to ours, or even worse than ours."

A beastman at the bottom of society can only know so much.

But when he said this, Lin Yi suddenly realized a problem.

He looked down at Lei Ge and asked,"How did you escape from that city?"
