The night wind was biting cold, and the mine still lay in a lifeless, oppressive silence.
Lin Ye stood on the edge of a cliff, looking down at the dark hell that had once dragged him into despair. In front of the ruined mine entrance, torches flickered dimly, and black-armored overseers patrolled back and forth. The air still carried the heavy scent of blood and a suffocating atmosphere.
The familiar and nauseating scenes surged into his mind, one after another.
At that moment, the system's cold voice sounded:
[Detected that the host has returned to the initial area. Do you wish to activate the “Revenge Mission”?]15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksi1HPYtC8
[Mission Level: High Risk]15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEGW9lWVPO
[Objective: Eliminate the main overseers of the mine (3/3)]15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QrMTVlntF
[Reward: Evolution Points ×? (Depends on target strength)]
Lin Ye’s eyes sharpened like blades as he coldly responded:
“Activate.”
[The Past is Changed]
He silently sneaked in through an abandoned tunnel, moving like a ghost past the patrol points.
The layout of the mine hadn’t changed much; it still had an orderly, oppressive feel to it—15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItjlEgkqxM
Groups of slave laborers carried heavy ores, stumbling along;15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWw4URHTII
The whip cracks of the guards rang like thunder, stained with blood;15Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pJ7SYLSBM
Occasionally, those who could no longer continue were dragged away, their fate unknown.
Lin Ye silently watched, seeing several familiar faces—those who had once beaten, insulted, and oppressed him. They were still high and mighty, sneering at humanity.
Killing intent surged from the depths of his heart, dark as ink.
“I will make sure none of you remain.”
[Unexpected Encounter]
Just as he was about to strike, a hunched figure stumbled past a corner, causing Lin Ye to freeze in shock.
—It was Wang Bo.
He had secretly left Lin Ye some dry rations when he was at his most hungry and weak, and had covered his reflection with sand and gravel before the patrol arrived.
Now, his face was weathered, his back bent under the weight of the ores, his limbs trembling. Though it was only a few short steps, he walked as if crossing thousands of mountains and rivers.
The strength in Lin Ye’s fingers, which had been tightly clenched, slowly relaxed.
He stepped back into the shadows, suppressing his killing intent.
“There’s no rush.”
“Since I’m back, I’ll settle this score, piece by piece.”
