Chapter 1447: Chapter 1442: Such a Terrifying Knife

"What? You... you really didn’t run into any trouble?"

"What trouble? I’m fine."

"No way, how could there be no trouble?"

"Are you cursing me? I’ve been awake the whole time, and it’s the truth. Plus, I didn’t encounter anything. Maybe all those rules are fake, we might not have to follow them."

"You’re crazy!" Hearing Tang Ye’s words, the girl screamed as if she had seen a ghost; it was so loud that Tang Ye felt that many people had woken up, but he didn’t dare to open his eyes.

Suddenly, he thought of a problem: during the prohibition period, if anyone who opens their eyes violates the rules, and those who are awakened by nightmares during the prohibited period realize that nothing happens when they violate the rules, they will see that these regulations are a lie. But if they realize this, the internet shouldn’t be so clean!

It seems that it is due to his own individual reasoning, that personal power is overwhelmingly strong, able to trample all rules and laws, similar to those powerful new humans; even rules and laws have to bend around them because they cannot be constrained anymore.

Likewise, Tang Ye’s strength forces them to come up with specific measures aimed at him, the things that scare ordinary people cannot threaten him, so they have to opt for more troublesome solutions.

But Tang Ye doesn’t plan to correct them, instead he responds to the girl, "I’m not crazy. I’ve been up since the prohibition started and even woke others up, a passerby who also stays in the same hotel as me. He violated the rule during the prohibition period and nothing happened either." While saying this, Tang Ye glanced towards the hotel; the man had started to sleep, and nothing strange occurred.

Upon hearing Tang Ye’s words, the girl froze. At first, Tang Ye thought that she couldn’t believe the rules were a lie, but as soon as she spoke, Tang Ye knew he had overthought it.

"You encouraged others to violate the rules? You... you devil! You are committing a crime! I’m going to call the police! I must call the police to arrest you!"

The girl’s voice sharpened, and Tang Ye saw many people around them stirring; they were all awake and could hear their conversation.

"A crime? Is this a crime?"

"It’s explicitly stated by the state, inciting others to break the rules is equivalent to directly depriving others of their lives! This is murder! Don’t tell me you’re illiterate, not knowing even this!"

"I..." Tang Ye was suddenly at a loss for words. He knew that the abnormal nights would lead the governments to enact corresponding legal regulations, but he wasn’t a lawyer. Having lived in China before the Apocalypse, he didn’t know how many Chapters and articles of the law were there, how could he possibly pay attention to those hundreds of legal documents here?

However, from the girl’s tone, he could tell it was a commonly known criminal act, just like before the Apocalypse, even those who didn’t study law at least knew that murder was a crime.

"Uh... I think I need to tell you, I broke the rules, but nothing happened to me. You say that people who violate the rules will, but I want to ask, have you actually seen someone die from breaking the rule?"

"I have! How could I have not seen it?"

Following Tang Ye’s words, the girl affirmed almost without thinking, which surprised him.

"You’ve actually seen it."

"Of course! We..."

The girl was about to share her experience but was silenced by Tang Ye since he noticed something was wrong.

"This is not a good place to talk, let’s go somewhere else."

"What?"

Tang Ye didn’t give her a chance to object, and directly grabbed her clothes and walked towards a secluded area; the girl tried to resist, repeatedly trying to break the grip Tang Ye had on her collar, but no matter how hard she tried, his grip was like a steel clamp, unmoveable. His movement made her feel as if a huge mountain was moving, evoking an overwhelming sense of insignificance.

Her resistance meant nothing to Tang Ye, and he smoothly pulled her to a place where others couldn’t overhear them. Maybe it was his habit, but he really didn’t like others eavesdropping on his conversations, especially when it’s blatantly done!

"Tell me, how did you see someone die from breaking the rules?"

"You hurt me! Don’t you know you should be gentler with girls? You’re not even as good as my boyfriend, really..."

After being put down by Tang Ye, the girl started to rant, her voice initially loud but within a second, it became as thin as the whine of a mosquito. On her pale neck, a blood-red knife appeared unknowingly, its blade flashing a chilling light.

She felt the air around her grow several degrees colder, as if she was encountering a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, countless rotting bodies swelling with flesh—a horrific sight glaring at her!

She couldn’t understand how this knife had appeared in this man’s hand, like a magician performing a trick, suddenly pulling out something from nowhere that couldn’t possibly have been hidden.

This knife was very long, almost as tall as her, the blade a blood-red like human blood, as if it was cast from flesh, each inch of the blade seemed to breathe!

"What a terrifying knife..."

"Stop talking nonsense, quickly tell me, how did you see someone die from breaking the rules?" Tang Ye withdrew the knife, and the girl couldn’t help but shrink her neck, unable to hide her terror in her eyes.

"I... Why are you interested in this, you... Don’t... I’ll tell, I’ll tell..."

Seeing the girl still hesitating, Tang Ye made a motion as if to draw the knife again, frightening her into quickly shutting her mouth and then she started explaining her and her boyfriend’s background. But just as she started, her boyfriend ran over from a distance; he seemed extremely worried about his girlfriend, even violating the rules to come over.
