Chapter 80: Chapter 80: Vacher’s End
In the dilapidated house weathered by time, Vacher sat alone in the deep shadows of a corner, clutching a glass jar filled with clear liquid as if guarding his most precious treasure.
He gazed at the transparent liquid in the jar, his eyes filled with affection, as if looking at his beloved.
"Vigneire, I promise you, no matter the cost, I will find a way to bring you back to life."
As he spoke, the scene from ten years ago resurfaced in his mind—Vigneire gradually dissolving in the water, eventually fading into nothingness.
It was an accident that occurred during their joint exploration of the ruins, but it became a pain he could never let go of in his life.
If it weren't for his suggestion, they would never have ventured into those ruins, and Vigneire would not have encountered that disaster.
This regret and pain were like cold steel needles, constantly piercing his heart.
Only in doing experiments of dissolving and restoring could his soul find solace and peace.
Just then, the door was suddenly kicked open, the sound echoing through the empty house.
Vacher turned his head and saw a cold figure appearing in the doorway under the faint glow of the setting sun.
He was stunned, never expecting that Lin Yide would find him in this hidden place.
After a brief moment of shock, Vacher reacted quickly, prying open the lid of the glass jar in his hand.
A thought flashed through his mind—if he could dissolve Lin Yide in front of him, then Vigneire might have a chance to be restored.
But if he were caught and sent to trial, then Vigneire would have absolutely no hope of being restored.
Facing the primordial sea water splashed by Vacher, Lin Yide did not panic in the slightest.
He saw the ice-type Vision at his waist bloom with dazzling light, and a pure white ice shield stood in front of him.
The moment the primordial sea water touched the ice shield, it quickly solidified, unable to advance even an inch.
This was Lin Yide's elemental skill—Extreme Cold Ice Shield, which could not only form an ice shield to protect himself, but also imbue his weapon with the power of ice.
Seeing this scene, the last hope in Vacher's heart was shattered.
He understood that his strength was far inferior to the man in front of him, but he was still unwilling to give up.
He roared and charged towards Lin Yide, trying to make a final struggle.
However, the result was so cruel.
Lin Yide casually waved his arm, and a slap heavily struck Vacher's face.
Vacher only felt a sweetness in his mouth, and blood spurted out, stars dancing before his eyes, and the whole world became blurred.
Lin Yide effortlessly grabbed Vacher by the chest and dragged him out step by step.
As they passed the door, Lindsay was standing there, with a bit of curiosity and a "watching the show" mentality.
Lin Yide stopped and turned to Lindsay, saying, "Haven't you always wanted to join the West Factory?
If you can accept the scene that follows, then from now on, you are an official agent of the West Factory."
Hearing this, Lindsay's face showed hesitation.
Although she longed to be a member of the West Factory, she still felt some fear and unease in the face of the cruel scene that might appear.
Lin Yide didn't give her much time to think.
He dragged Vacher forward and soon arrived at Elsa's door, gently knocking on it.
After a while, Elsa's door slowly opened.
When she saw Lin Yide carrying the incapacitated Vacher, she was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to her senses, obviously understanding everything.
Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Vacher, her tone filled with a mixture of anger and sadness, "Marcel, why is it you? Eva used to make snacks for you by hand, she trusted you so much!"
Vacher lowered his head, speechless, acknowledging his crime.
Lin Yide didn't say much, dragged Vacher into the room, and then asked Elsa for a rope, skillfully tying Vacher backwards on a chair.
Vacher was now like a lamb to be slaughtered, completely unable to move.
"Mrs. Elsa, you can do it yourself, or you can let me do it," Lin Yide said coldly.
Hate flashed in Elsa's eyes, and she almost squeezed out a few words from between her teeth: "I'll do it myself."
In the next hour, under Lin Yide's guidance, Elsa inflicted incredibly cruel punishments on Vacher.
The room was filled with a strong atmosphere of blood and violence, like a living hell.
"Mrs. Elsa, I'm really sorry, but our actions must stop here," Lin Yide stopped Elsa from further retaliation, "Because there are twenty-three other mothers who have had the same experience as you, and they are also waiting to seek revenge on him."
Hearing this, Elsa's movements stopped abruptly.
The pleasure of revenge quickly dissipated at that moment, replaced by endless pain and sadness in her heart.
Although her actions had just vented her resentment to a certain extent, it was only superficial comfort.
She understood that no matter how she retaliated, the lively and lovely Eva would never come back.
This inner trauma would accompany her for the rest of her life, and every time she thought of it, her heart would be cut like a knife.
Lin Yide simply bandaged Vacher's wounds, who was in agony, and then mercilessly picked him up and continued to the next house.
Lindsay witnessed the entire cruel execution process.
She finally understood the difference of the West Factory, what it maintained was never the justice of the law, but the justice in the hearts of ordinary people!
This "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth" approach, although it had a great impact on her past values, she quickly accepted it.
Because doing so is fair!
And fairness is the best interpretation of justice, the greatest comfort to the victims, and allows the perpetrators to receive their due punishment.
Justice should protect the victims, not the perpetrators!
After figuring this out, Lindsay quickly caught up with Lin Yide, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to say, "Baron Yide, can I carry out the execution next time?"
Lin Yide was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but quickly came back to his senses, and he shook his head.
Lindsay asked unwillingly, "Why not?"
Lin Yide explained softly, "Execution is not a simple punishment, but a job that requires skill.
Our goal is to inflict the greatest mental pain on the prisoner while inflicting the least physical harm.
A novice like you may inadvertently cause excessive damage, even leading to the death of the prisoner."
Lindsay was speechless, she did not expect that there was such profound knowledge behind the punishment.
This made her interested, and her eyes flashed with a desire and curiosity for the unknown.
Lin Yide was speechless when he saw her like this.
Clearly, she was a sunny and cheerful girl in appearance, but she had to go all the way to the dark side.
"Lindsay, has your father found a stepmother for you yet?" he couldn't help asking.
Lindsay replied without thinking, "Yes, I even asked someone to help me introduce one.
Do you know?
My female classmates were more anxious than me when they heard that I was looking for a stepmother, and they rushed to my house.
I really don't know why they are suddenly so enthusiastic."
"Is there a possibility that they all want to be your stepmother?"
"Ah?!!!"
