Liu Kexin once again gave Excellency Ape a kind and sympathetic look. Excellency Ape became extremely angry and even began to get upset. “Don’t look at me with that kind of pity in your eyes. Everyone in the world is more pitiful than me because I can eat them if I want to!”
Liu Kexin shook her head and said calmly, “No, I am not really pitying you or sympathizing with you. I just feel sad for you… How pitiful it must be for a man like you to want to kill your own parents who are of the same blood?”
There was a fierce look in Excellency Ape’s eyes and he let out a roar, which almost broke the eardrums of Liu Kexin and the two other people who were hiding at this time. Excellency Ape jumped directly in front of Liu Kexin, grabbed her neck and opened his mouth, exposing his extremely sharp teeth. It was as if he wanted to swallow Liu Kexin.
Liu Kexin’s heart almost stopped beating. The breath of Excellency Ape was fetid and smelt like the breath of wild animals. It was as if he was not a human at this time. His mouth was wide open. She was afraid that this person would swallow her instantly.
Time seemed to come to a standstill. Excellency Ape did not do anything to Liu Kexin. He threw Liu Kexin to the ground and roared at the sky. One of his two subordinates suddenly felt a terrible magnetic force propelling him toward Excellency Ape. Excellency Ape threw the man on to the ground and then jumped on him. Like a wild animal, he opened his mouth and bit the man’s throat directly. The man under his body struggled desperately, twitched and made a gurgling sound.
The man’s throat had been bitten by Excellency Ape and then Excellency Ape started to suck his blood, until all his blood was drained and his body became a mere husk. Excellency Ape stood up, kicked the man’s body away, and his expression was back to normal.
Liu Kexin was afraid. She felt what she just saw was not something that happened between humans, but a crazy beast that killed a man. When faced with this beast, ordinary human beings could not put up any resistance at all.
The other subordinate was shaking with fear. It was not the first time that he had seen Excellency Ape eating people. Before that, they had companions who were eaten by Excellency Ape. Now, he was the only one alive among those people who came with Excellency Ape.
Liu Kexin began to cry.
Excellency Ape had vented his anger, so he was not as irascible as he had been before. He sat back in his original position and took a look at Liu Kexin. He asked curiously, “He is not your companion or your friend, and he even tied you up. Why are you crying for him?”
Liu Kexin wiped her tears and said, “I made you angry. If you wanted to kill me, you should kill me, but you killed him instead. It is my fault.”
Excellency Ape laughed at her. “You little girl really have a heart of gold and you are extremely naive.”
“You will not understand all this. You are a cold-blooded beast.” Liu Kexin suddenly looked at Excellency Ape and said, “You need me to make a deal with Xiao Bing, right? Is that why you spared my life?”
Excellency Ape snorted. “So what? It does not matter whether you are killed or not. I will keep you alive for a while, but don’t make me angry.”
Liu Kexin wiped away her tears, raised her chin stubbornly and said, “If you want me to live, you have to promise me something, or I will commit suicide. No matter how you watch me all the time, you can’t stop a person who wants to commit suicide.”
Excellency Ape looked at Liu Kexin gloomily and said, “Tell me.”
Liu Kexin suddenly pointed to Excellency Ape’s remaining companion and said, “No matter what happens in the future, you cannot kill him. As long as he lives, I will live. If he dies, I will die too.”
Excellency Ape’s subordinate looked at Liu Kexin in surprise. In his opinion, Liu Kexin had been kidnapped by him and the other person who had just been killed by Excellency Ape. Liu Kexin should hate him. Why did she put forward such a request?
Excellency Ape obviously could not understand why Liu Kexin was trying to protect her enemy. His eyes shone with a fierce light. He hesitated a little and asked, “Give me a reason.”
“I don’t want anyone else to be sacrificed because of me.”
“I don’t want people dying in front of me like that again.”
“No matter who he is, he is a life in my eyes.”
Excellency Ape gasped heavily. He put his arms on his chest, leaned on the thick trunk and said casually, “I promise.”
Liu Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, then she stood up, and Excellency Ape immediately asked, “What are you doing?”
“I am not going to run away… I am going to bury him so that he will be at peace.”
Excellency Ape opened his eyes and looked at Liu Kexin curiously. The dried out corpse had been kicked more than ten meters away by Excellency Ape. Excellency Ape was not afraid that Liu Kexin would run away. In fact, Liu Kexin was so frail that even if she ran more than 100 meters, Excellency Ape could catch up with her easily.
Liu Kexin went to the corpse. She squatted down. First, she closed the eyes of the dead man, so that he could die in peace. Then she looked around for tools to dig the soil. She found an iron bar not far away. Then she began to dig.
However, although she was smart enough to dig in soft ground, based on her strength, it was still tough for her. Within two minutes, she started breathing heavily. Her head was covered with sweat. The pit on the ground could barely house a mouse…
However, Liu Kexin did not give up at all. After a two minute rest, she continued to dig. After resting three or four times intermittently, she did not even manage to dig half of the pit.
The remaining subordinate wanted to help. He glanced at Excellency Ape uneasily. Excellency Ape’s head moved and gave him a look, which meant that he could go over. The man rushed to Liu Kexin, grabbed the tool in Liu Kexin’s hand and said, “Let me do it.”
Liu Kexin glanced at him, then passed the tool to him and stood aside.
While the man dug the pit with the iron bar, he said, “My name is Lin Mu and I am from Singapore.”
Liu Kexin said, “Hmm.”
“Thank you… Thank you for speaking up for me.”
Liu Kexin said, “Hmm.”
Lin Mu continued to say, “But I still want to remind you not to provoke Excellency Ape, or you will not know how you will end up.”
Liu Kexin suddenly asked, “That man is so bad that he even killed his own people. Why are you still with him?”
Lin Mu coughed and signaled Liu Kexin with his eyes. Liu Kexin said, “I am not afraid. He said he will use me to threaten Xiao Bing. He will not kill me.”
Lin Mu remained silent, because he did not know what to say.
Liu Kexin continued to speak, “Is he your leader? He even killed his subordinates. Why do you still follow him? If I were you, I would find a chance to run away, go to a place where no one knows me and find a job, so that I can live in peace.”
Although Liu Kexin stood far away, Excellency Ape could hear her clearly. Excellency Ape did not get angry, but looked at Liu Kexin with interest. He was listening carefully to what Liu Kexin was saying.
As Lin Mu dug the ground, he said coldly, “Do you think people like us still have a chance to live peacefully?”
Liu Kexin asked, “Why not?”
“I don’t know how many people I have killed.”
Hearing this, Liu Kexin stopped talking and Lin Mu finished digging the deep pit. He lifted the body of his companion who had been talking with him before, and threw it into the pit, saying, “Come on. Let’s bury him together.”
Liu Kexin looked at the corpse, sighed and said sympathetically, “I am sorry that you died for me. I promise that I will pray for you at this time of the year and burn more paper money for you.”
After that, she began to cover the corpse with earth, together with Lin Mu. Because there were no tools, she used her hands, not caring whether she would hurt her fingernails or dirty her hands.
When the body was buried, Liu Kexin went to look for a piece of wood and put it on the grave. Then she went back to the shade next to Excellency Ape and laid down.
Liu Kexin closed her eyes, but her mind was in a mess. Although she had seen the dead in the hospital, the scene that just took place was too bloody. She was a simple and kind-hearted girl. Suddenly, a person was killed in front of her in such a cruel way, and he died because of her. Her heart was racing and she felt guilty, As long as she closed her eyes, the images of the man being killed would flash in her mind.
While Liu Kexin was making blind and disorderly conjectures, suddenly she heard Excellency Ape say, “I don’t understand you. Are you girls all so naive? If I let the dead man choose one of two, one is to spare your life, the other is to spare his life, he will certainly kill you. But you blame yourself for his death, dig a pit for him, fill in his grave, and even shed tears for him now.”
Liu Kexin looked at Excellency Ape and said, “People like you don’t know what emotion is.”
Excellency Ape’s eyes sparkled, but there was no anger. He just sneered coldly, “You are not afraid to provoke me. What if I accidentally kill you?”
“You are going to threaten my Brother Bing. You will not kill me.”
Excellency Ape said with a smile, “You are not afraid that after I kill Mr. Dragon, you will be of no value and then I will kill you?”
“My Brother Bing is an upright man. He will not be beaten by you, and he will save me.”
Excellency Ape looked at Liu Kexin and asked, “You have so much confidence in him?”
“Yes, I have confidence in him.”
“Well.” A terrifying light flashed in Excellency Ape’s eyes. “In a few days, you will see how we kill him…”
