"Ah..."
Heart-rending screams rang through Ice Prefecture.
They mingled with the Lei Zis' excited roars.
The five heavy trucks revved harder and harder.
Bones cracked as the Awakened's limbs were pulled apart.
The six people in the barrels were so terrified they forgot the scalding water, shutting their eyes, unable to keep watching.
"Ah... Mom... save me!"
The brave fellow's underwear turned yellow.
Liquid kept streaming out.
"He... the shit's being pulled out of him."
Hi Dog waved a hand in disgust and shouted at the drivers, "Hurry up! He stinks! Bring on the next one!"
"Rrrip..."
The five heavy trucks pulled at once.
The brave fellow's body was torn into five pieces.
Blood splattered across the ground.
Used to bloodshed, the Lei Zis were all pumped up with excitement.
They kept shouting, "Next!"
"Next!"
"Whoosh!"
The young man named Matsushita was dragged out.
"No... no... I don't want to die!"
"Let me go! I'll give you money!"
"I'm willing to join you!"
The young man who had been the most defiant completely broke down after seeing his companion's severed limbs.
He kept rolling on the ground.
But the Lei Zis weren't about to indulge him.
One stepped forward and struck him twice with a club.
"I'll talk... I'll tell you every-"
"Bam!"
A large foot slammed into his face.
Half of Matsushita's teeth flew out, and blood filled his mouth.
False Eye glanced guiltily at the other Lei Zis.
"I finally get to be the bookmaker, and you're spilling already? I'll lose even my underwear. Be good and hold out a little longer. I'll give you ten thousand as your share after you die, okay?" False Eye crouched and soothed him quietly. "It won't hurt. It'll be over in a second."
Matsushita wanted to cry but had no tears.
