After Beating the Game, I Became the Villain BOSS

Chapter 380: Chapter 264: Equal Punishment (Part 2)

"When I think about it now, it might be better if he were alive, because every day of his remaining life would be lived in the constant shadow of fear, always afraid, eternally afraid, until he finally meets his own death."

Su Mo couldn’t help but chuckle softly, "According to what you’re saying, it seems like no matter what, you win."

Qi Ling: "That’s right, I never lose."

Su Mo looked at her with interest and said slowly, "I’ve been thinking just now about how to teach a cocky little brat like you a lesson."

"I originally thought about making you pay in blood, but on closer thought, I didn’t actually suffer any loss."

"The lab was blown to smithereens, but you paid me back the money, which is more than enough to buy new equipment."

"The experimental data was destroyed, but you had backed it up in advance and already returned it to Future, so no progress was lost."

"As for breaking windows or collapsing walls, those aren’t really major issues."

"So, when you add it all up, except for wasting my time these past few days, it seems you don’t really owe me anything." fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Beating you up, you don’t feel pain, so beating you would be pointless."

"Killing you, now that seems too extreme, not necessary."

"So, I’ve made a decision."

"Hmm?" Qi Ling raised an eyebrow playfully, waiting for Su Mo’s answer.

Su Mo looked into her eyes and revealed a mysterious smile.

"I decided to make you cry."

Qi Ling was stunned upon hearing this, and after a while, she regained her composure, looking rather puzzled, "Huh?"

Su Mo: "You heard me, I said I want to make you cry."

"You made Future cry once, I’ll make you cry once; it’s only fair, right?"

The corners of Qi Ling’s lips twitched continuously, and finally, unable to hold it back, she let out a hearty laugh, "Ahahaha! Ahahahaha!"

"Mo Mo, you’re really... hahahaha... always surprising me with unexpected things. It’s really fun being with you."

Su Mo said with a smile, "Funny, right? Don’t worry, there’s one more thing—you need to apologize to me."

Qi Ling: "Oh? And why is that?"

Su Mo: "Do you really need to ask? I’m a perpetually single guy, and you played me for a fool. My first ever date turned out to be a sham, even my first kiss was tricked away by you, a bad woman. Do you have any idea how big a psychological shadow this has left on me?"

"I spent an entire day being toyed by you. I didn’t even ask for emotional distress compensation, just an apology, which is already a huge concession."

Qi Ling’s lips trembled slightly, her smile turning a bit stiff: "You think everything between us was fake?"

Su Mo countered: "Wasn’t it? Weren’t you calculating me the whole time?"

Bitterness and resentment filled Qi Ling’s eyes as she deliberately laughed loudly, "Yes! That’s right! It was all fake!"

"Just playing a game with you, that day was really boring, I didn’t have fun at all, every time I smiled at you was forced acting! Does that satisfy you?!"

After she finished speaking, she exerted her strength to hit Su Mo, but her hands were tightly bound, only managing to shake the chair, gritting her teeth, looking at him, her heavy breathing echoing around.

Su Mo said calmly, "Apologize, and cry after that, or you can cry while apologizing."

Qi Ling bowed her head and chuckled, saying in a low voice, "You’ve said so much, let me be frank with you too."

"Since escaping from Venus Eden Garden, I’ve done many things, except for two—crying and apologizing."

"The day Xiaoqi died was the day my tears dried up, I’ll never cry again."

"What I’ve done, I’ve done, I won’t apologize for it."

Su Mo clapped his hands, "Alright, if you really apologized while crying, I would actually find that not like you. This type of thing is only fun when forced."

Qi Ling looked at him coldly, challenging, "So what do you want to do? Hit me? Scold me? Humiliate me? Do whatever you want! There’s no one else here, do whatever you please!"

Su Mo looked towards Dongdong and the others, smiling, "Hey, you all heard it, ’do whatever you want,’ she said it herself, I’ve never heard such a strange request, gotta meet it."

After saying that, he took out a communicator, "Bring that thing in."

The warehouse door opened, and Chu Nanyi drove in a forklift carrying a peculiar giant iron tank.

He poked his head out and said to Qi Ling with a sigh, "Sis, getting caught by our captain, you’re in for some real trouble."

Qi Ling couldn’t understand what the giant iron tank was for, frowning as she looked at it.

Su Mo cut the ropes binding Qi Ling, grabbing her collar, and dragged her onto a platform.

The platform was above the iron tank. From a height, its top opened to a door, inside devoid of any light, like an entrance to a dark abyss.

Facing that deep darkness, Qi Ling involuntarily lost focus, her pupils dilating unconsciously.

Su Mo: "Does this big iron tank remind you of something? I bet, you instantly thought of—"

"Black prison."

This word immediately awakened buried memories deep within her heart and the extreme fear from childhood.

An indescribable feeling enveloped Qi Ling, as if countless ants were crawling all over her body, silently gnawing at her marrow.

She involuntarily turned her face away, trying to shift her gaze, but her jaw was forcefully grasped by Su Mo from behind, compelling her to face the abyss-like black entrance head-on.

Su Mo’s deep voice came slowly, "This iron tank, though different from the black prison in Venus Eden Garden, seems more advanced to me."

"Once this whole tank is closed, it’s completely sealed, not a speck of light escapes, you’re in absolute darkness."

"Inside the tank is a liquid, a Vitality Liquid developed by Future, which provides direct oxygen to your lungs and sustains essential nutrients for life."

"Moreover, in this Vitality Liquid, a diluted degree of central nervous system inhibitory drugs have been mixed, causing bodily paralysis while preserving conscious awareness."

Gripping Qi Ling’s jaw, Su Mo whispered a sinister laugh into her ear, "You’re so clever, you should know what happens if you fall in."

"With the Vitality Liquid’s nutritional supply, you won’t die, but neither can you move."

"You’ll live eternally in that absolute darkness, devoid of sound, blind, with your body completely devoid of sensation, unable to even bite your tongue to end your life, living in solitude until the end of your life."

"I heard Miyata Junren say Venus Eden Garden’s black prison holds for a maximum of three days. This, your dedicated black prison, is for a lifetime."

Qi Ling’s pupils dilated, her face expressionless but her body completely stiff. Careful listening would reveal disordered breathing and a pounding heartbeat.

Su Mo released Qi Ling and said indifferently, "I gave you the chance, but you refuse to acknowledge your mistake, don’t blame me for being heartless. Be dignified, jump down yourself."

Qi Ling was silently quiet.

Suddenly, she pushed Su Mo away and turned to flee.

Su Mo was prepared, grabbed the back of her collar, and yanked her back.

Qi Ling struggled frantically, punching, kicking, headbutting, and finally biting the hand gripping Su Mo, utterly devoid of her previous haughty demeanor.

Su Mo was as merciless, gripping Qi Ling’s collar and shoving her off the platform.

Qi Ling dangled mid-air from Su Mo’s hold, desperately tiptoeing on the platform’s edge, barely maintaining her footing.

"Huff... huff..." Her breathing was entirely chaotic, clinging tightly to Su Mo’s wrist as if holding onto the last life-saving straw.

An endless darkness...

Despairing solitude...

The childhood shadow buried in her memory washed over, and the immense pressure almost crushed her.

Her amber pupils reflected Su Mo’s face, devoid of emotion, only coldness, chilling coldness.

"Apologize."
