Chapter 93: Life and Sky Lanterns

After locking the door, she approached Li Hua, who was screaming.

The first thing Fang Qing did was to take out the knife she had on her and cut open all the clothes the other party was wearing.

Only the innermost layer was left, to prevent the other party from going into shock immediately.

After she finished, she ignored Li Hua’s current state and walked directly into the bedroom.

Not long after, Fang Qing walked in front of Li Hua, carrying a brat, and threw him about 30 centimeters in front of her.

Fang Qing, on the other hand, pulled over a small stool and sat in front of the brat, facing Li Hua, who couldn’t move.

Holding a sharp small knife, she grabbed the other party’s ear, and with a swift motion, the knife cut through without any obstruction.

The severed ear appeared in her palm.

The brat, who had been sleeping soundly, was woken up by the pain.

He was now whimpering weakly.

Fang Qing found him too noisy, so she shoved the severed ear into his mouth.

At the same time, she picked up half a stick and smashed it directly onto the back of his head. After a few blows, the other party stopped making a fuss.

Fang Qing didn’t know if she had knocked him out or killed him.

Regardless of the outcome, she didn’t care.

Then she cut open the clothes on his arm, revealing a tender, plump, and swollen arm.

Under Li Hua’s murderous gaze, Fang Qing sliced off a thin piece of meat.

She originally wanted to taste it herself, but it seemed the other party was suffering from a high fever.

This directly deterred Fang Qing.

So she put down what was in her hand and ran to the kitchen to search.

In a moment, Fang Qing came back with a dish of soy sauce, and also took out the cloth gag from Li Hua’s mouth.

She picked up the fresh meat slice with tongs she found in the kitchen, dipped it in some soy sauce, and placed it in front of the other party.

“Eat! I worked so hard to get this for you, how dare you not eat?”

As she spoke, she brought the sliced meat to the other party’s mouth.

Seeing that the other party thought closing her lips now would make her helpless.

Fang Qing found it truly laughable.

One sentence was enough to completely control the other party.

“If you open your mouth and cooperate, he might still live. The longer you delay, the greater the chance of him freezing to death, you know.”

Li Hua did not speak. After looking at her son in front of Fang Qing, she closed her eyes and opened her mouth.

Fang Qing threw the frozen meat slice aside.

She picked up the knife in her hand and cut another thinner slice, directly stuffing it into the other party’s mouth.

Li Hua ate cooperatively, but her eyes remained tightly shut.

She said nothing, showing no reaction at all.

Fang Qing played a few times and then lost interest.

She then cut off a large piece of meat, stuffed it into the other party’s mouth, and used the other party’s upper and lower jaws to bite down on the meat.

Then she took a strip of cloth from the side and tightly gagged the other party’s mouth, leaving only the nose exposed.

At this moment, Li Hua’s tightly shut eyes finally opened, wanting to speak.

But she was completely unable to speak at this time, continuously making whimpering sounds.

If one listened quietly, one could still hear some vague words.

Then Li Hua saw Fang Qing laboriously dragging over a solid wood single chair, and tightly securing the unconscious brat’s hands, feet, and body to the chair.

She then saw Fang Qing return to that side and drag another chair towards her.

There was no need to say who that chair was prepared for.

After securing both of them, Fang Qing took out two 500 ml plastic bottles from behind her.

The plastic bottles contained a pale yellow liquid, and she specifically showed them to the bound Li Hua.

“This is oil I specially prepared for you. Guess what it’s for.”

After speaking, she walked directly towards the brat. At this time, a hand-cranked drilling tool had already appeared in her hand.

Li Hua’s whimpering frequency continuously increased, but Fang Qing paid no attention at all.

Or rather, that’s what she wanted.

Then she picked up the phone, which was serving as a light, to allow the other party to see more clearly.

She aimed the hand-cranked drilling tool at the center of the brat’s head and began to drill.

The intense pain woke up the unconscious brat.

But under Fang Qing’s continuous turning, the pain from his brain caused him to faint again.

Fang Qing also had no experience; this was her first time drilling into a human head, and also her first time using this thing.

She felt the sensation was off as she cranked, so she stopped.

She looked and indeed, she had made a hole in the skull.

So she carefully poured the still-liquid corpse oil into it.

During the process, a lot of corpse oil flowed out.

A foul stench filled the surroundings.

Fang Qing didn’t care at all, completing all the preparatory work under Li Hua’s angry gaze.

Then Fang Qing turned her gaze to Li Hua.

After some more time, Fang Qing finally finished all the tasks at hand.

She took Li Hua’s phone and unlocked it with her fingerprint.

She laboriously dragged the two of them, along with the chairs, onto the balcony.

She wrapped a cloth strip around a wooden stick, lit it, and looked at her work, quite satisfied.

Seeing Li Hua, who had fainted, Fang Qing placed the makeshift torch aside for illumination.

She picked up a broom that had been disassembled on the balcony, took the broomstick, and forcefully struck the other party’s wrists and shin bones.

Under Fang Qing’s continuous striking, the pain once again awakened Li Hua.

After seeing the other party awake, Fang Qing threw away the wooden stick and picked up the half-burnt makeshift torch.

Or rather, a burning wooden stick would be more accurate.

She placed the wooden stick on the brat’s head, and the flames began to spread not long after.

Because the brat had corpse oil on him, the flames quickly covered his entire body.

But Li Hua was not so lucky.

Except for her head, all other parts of her body had been specially cleaned by Fang Qing.

After igniting the corpse oil in the other party’s head, Fang Qing casually threw the wooden stick onto the brat’s body.

Then she picked up the other party’s phone and started recording.

This method of ’lighting the sky lamp’ was more cruel than burning a corpse; she wanted Li Hua to feel the pain of flames burning inside her skull alive.

The flames ignited the corpse oil, and heat rapidly transferred to the skull and brain tissue.

The flames roasted the brain inside the skull; the burning sensation was like thousands of needles piercing the scalp, every second was an unbearable torment.

Looking at the other party in this state, her hand holding the video recording couldn’t help but tremble.

It was trembling with excitement.

After recording a video of a few minutes, Fang Qing uploaded it to the Building 6 group chat.

Then she picked up the already packed items and left room 1301.

Not long after Fang Qing left, the owner of 1401 upstairs came to the door of room 1301.

Holding a tool in her hand, she shouted at the door.

“1301, what in the world are you doing? The smell of burning things has drifted into my home!”

She called out a few times with no response.

Soon, the other party picked up something and started smashing the door.

However, the door wasn’t smashed many times before the owner of 1302 on the other side was startled out by his banging.

“Brother! Brother! Stop smashing, stop smashing.”
