Chapter 203 A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye
The circus stage is at its climax.
"The reason we do this is very simple. There is a saying in the human world: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."
"We will retaliate in kind to humans as they have treated us."
Miss Rabbit held a microphone, her figure swaying alone under the lights. Every movement exuded ultimate elegance, but her eyes gradually became hazy and crazed.
"Next comes the main event of this trial!"
"This time, we need to select two lucky audience members to come up on stage and perform together."
The animals below cheered loudly, each stretching out its claws.
Miss Rabbit simply picked two audience members at random: a tiger and a donkey.
Then it bent down, opened one of the iron cages, and tied up the struggling little boy inside.
Miss Rabbit quickly got into character, and after the two audience members were seated, she bowed and asked them a question.
"Hello, which cut of meat would you two prefer?"
"Hmm, the stomach, then."
Miss Rabbit took a pot of boiling water and poured it on the little boy's belly.
The little boy let out a heart-wrenching scream and struggled rapidly.
After the soil has been thoroughly watered and matured, the harvested crops are then placed on a plate.
It was placed on the table, where seasonings that had already been prepared were also laid out.
The two audience members, their mouths watering, eagerly dipped their food in the sauce and began to enjoy it.
Miss Rabbit smiled without saying a word.
There's a dish in the human world called "Live Donkey," and the preparation method is quite similar to this.
The cruelty of this dish lies in the fact that the donkey suffers pain while being butchered, while the diners eat it without a care in the world.
The little boy had already fainted due to severe bleeding.
The dish was almost completely devoured by the two animal spectators before they reluctantly left the stage.
As I stepped off the stage, the staff brought over a square table with a hole cut in the middle.
Four more audience members were selected to come on stage.
Four animals sat around a table, with a hole in the middle just big enough for a human child's head to stick out.
A very cute little girl was led out of her cage. She seemed to have already foreseen her future and had given up struggling.
The little girl's head protruded from the small hole and was secured with a metal band, which was very tight.
Miss Rabbit gently tapped the skull with her small hammer, and the skull fell off, exposing the human brain completely to the animals.
The four animals were so excited that they frantically tried to reach for the red and white human brain with spoons.
A scream from under the table marked the beginning of the horrific ordeal of eating raw human brains.
The iron cages of Xiao Luzhi and Xiao Jiangqi were placed close together, and their expressions were far from the composure expected of eight or nine-year-old children.
The other children were pale with fright. The vomit on the ground was mixed with urine, and a foul smell wafted over.
Some even sobbed softly, begging the animals in front of them to spare them.
On the judges' panel, several more names on the score sheets were marked with large red crosses.
They no longer have any value for viewing.
Xiao Jiangqi was even annoyed. He picked at his ear, and even when blood splattered on him, he remained completely unfazed.
In his view, kneeling and begging for mercy was the most useless thing to do.
This is something a weak creature would do when facing a powerful and unshakeable being; what he disliked most was this ear-piercing crying.
Trying to gain the sympathy of these cold-blooded animals by feigning weakness is a huge mistake.
Just like school bullying, the more you resist, the more the perpetrators will bully you.
Because they despise you from the bottom of their hearts; you are the weakest one.
Only a loser would cry in this situation, hoping for a pipe dream like someone to save them.
Although Xiao Jiangqi couldn't expect a teenager to do anything clever.
Some animals simply thought Xiao Jiangqi was special, so they ordered the staff to do things.
They banged on his cage with an electric baton as a warning.
Xiao Jiangqi bared his teeth, gripping the edge of the iron cage, and glared fiercely at the animals watching the show below.
"Wow, this doesn't hurt at all. Looks like we made the right choice. You're very resilient to torture."
Aren't they just like the cruel humans of the past?
This is destined to be a vicious cycle.
As long as humans continue to abuse animals, endless resentment will grow, and animals will in turn try every means to torment humans.
The only ones who suffer are the innocent humans who did nothing wrong and are caught in the crossfire.
Humans may have compassion, but when they harm animals, do they ever consider that the animals are innocent?
Instead of punishing the humans who deserved their fate, those animals tormented them even more.
It's ironic that in the end, these animals are ultimately just human beings.
What's the difference between someone who amplifies malice when faced with weakness and a cruel human being?
Xiao Jiangqi thought sarcastically.
In fact, the person with the most votes can still receive preferential treatment.
He hadn't used it before, but now he wanted to use this one-time opportunity.
Xiao Jiangqi shook the iron cage vigorously, making a piercing noise.
"Hey, I need to use the restroom, please take me to the bathroom!"
His words carried a rather condescending tone.
Surprisingly, the staff actually opened the cage and took him there.
This was naturally with Miss Rabbit's consent.
Xiao Lu's eyes were vacant, and he remained seated in the same position without changing his posture. Even after Xiao Jiangqi left, his eyes did not change at all.
Even before the circus performance began, his spirit had already drifted to every corner of the audience.
On this trip, Lu Hui happened to catch a familiar scent that resonated deep within his soul.
Xiao Jiangqi's ankles were shackled with incredibly heavy chains, which made a rattling sound with every step he took.
After walking around the various rooms in the back, and then a short distance further, you finally reach the restroom at the end of the corridor.
"Just behave yourself, don't think about anything else, and go inside."
The staff member let out a cold laugh, looking at him as if he were already dead.
"pat-"
The door was gently closed, and Xiao Jiangqi locked it from the inside.
His little hand somehow produced a thin, long wire, which he bent in half and inserted into the keyhole.
After fiddling with it for a while, the lock was finally opened.
Xiao Jiangqi raised his head, put one foot on the toilet seat, and the other foot on the water tank.
He braced himself with both feet and, once he was steady, tiptoed towards the ventilation duct.
Unfortunately, he wasn't tall enough and could only barely reach the edge.
Doing this makes it easy to lose balance, and Xiao Jiangqi almost fell.
It would be nice to have a ladder.
Helpless, Xiao Jiangqi had no choice but to reopen the bathroom door.
The staff were unaware of what was happening inside, since Xiao Jiangqi was so young and still in shackles, he probably couldn't do anything.
Fortunately, there was a small storage room in the bathroom, and there happened to be a ladder inside.
Xiao Jiangqi, with his small body, struggled a little to drag the ladder, which was bigger than himself.
His eyes glanced around and inadvertently met his own gaze in the mirror.
There was also a lighter on the washstand.
"Maybe it will be useful," Xiao Jiangqi thought, accepting whatever was offered, and put the lighter in his pocket.
Then he continued carrying the ladder towards the bathroom.
"Bang, bang, bang," the staff member seemed to think that a lot of time had passed, and he also heard other sounds.
So, he impatiently started kicking the door.
"Are you done yet?!"
Xiao Jiangqi's childish voice came through, "I didn't bring any toilet paper, I need some to wipe my bottom."
The staff continued kicking the door relentlessly, regardless of the consequences.
Fortunately, the quality of this course is exceptionally good, which can buy us some time.
Xiao Jiangqi ripped off the door of the ventilation duct. He didn't dare to crawl in rashly, so he cautiously stretched out a finger to explore.
The passageway was filled with countless transparent threads, as sharp as knives, that could easily cut bloody gashes into the skin.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Jiangqi's hand touched the beginning of the tunnel, a drop of blood seeped from his fingertip.
The sound of keys turning came from outside the door. Xiao Jiangqi lit a lighter and used the flame to clear the way.
The transparent threads were burned off one by one, and he proceeded unimpeded.
"Someone come quick! This little brat has crawled into the ventilation duct!"
