Chapter 166: A Sudden Surprise
Looking down from the utility room in the kitchen, there didn't seem to be anything unusual about the basement.
Torches wrapped in tarpaulin hung from the damp rock walls on either side, and the torches were not burning, and they looked like they had been idle for some time. There is an arched wooden door at the bottom of the underground passage, and the wooden door is open, and it is from here that Elle must have broken into the basement.
After confirming that there was no danger from Quinn, Leonard decided to go to the basement to get a look. After the three of them confirmed their formation, they cautiously walked down the stairs.
The stairs were a little slippery, and moss grew in some places. Leonard noticed that the moss on the edge of the stone staircase was worn onto the treads of the next staircase, and it looked like someone should have been in and out of the basement recently.
Before they reached the archway, they heard Er's playful teasing from inside, before they had even set foot in the basement.
"Wow, how the hell did you do that? It looks like a meat ball!"
"Shut up!"
"Don't be so stingy!
"I've said it's all shut up!"
"It's so unfriendly! What's the big deal, isn't it just that you can soak yourself in a strange liquid after unloading your hands and feet and nailing them to the side!
"Are you laughing at me!?
"How could it be! I really admire you!"
- No, no, no, you're just mocking people, aren't you?
After entering the basement, Leonard could see the environment inside at a glance. This basement is only about fifteen square meters, and the square space is unobstructed.
As Leonard thought, Elle was indeed seriously mocking the person who spoke. The man was about thirty years old, handsome, pale, and a bit of an old-fashioned aristocratic man.
However, he was now immersed in a petri dish filled with an unknown green liquid, his torso was horribly corroded except for his head, and his limbs were nailed to the walls of the basement to the left and right and in front of him by thick nails. It's not a misdescription, it's a fact, in short, he's been made a human being.
It's no wonder that he was embarrassed and impatient in the face of El's honest praise.
This handsome man saw a few people entering the basement at a glance, and he actually showed a happy expression as if he was in a desperate situation.
"You're in a group, aren't you? Please, get this idiot away!"
The first thing he prayed for was not to get him out of trouble, but to keep Elle away from him!
"Do you mean this strange scepter?" said Elle, who was unaware, with a look of unusually agreeing with her, "yes, I think he's an idiot, too!"
"Look at it! stupid!" Quinn rolled his eyes in anger, "He's talking about you!"
"How is that possible!" said El, looking back at the man.
The latter nodded with a gloomy face, "Is there anyone here who is more stupid than you?"
Elle smiled dangerously, "If you say bad things about others behind your back, even if you die, you can't blame others, right?"
"No! I'm actually in person...... Ahh——!!!h
Elle manipulated the lightning chain to nimbly burrow into the petri dish, and brutally whipped the man who was left with only his body, and the latter screamed and wailed, looking like life was worse than death.
"Who's stupid!?" said El, her cheeks flushed with anger.
The man is obedient now, and he said, "Ah!!I, it'——! I'm stupid!"
But Elle was still not satisfied, "No! Who the hell is stupid?!"
"Ahh
"Hey, that's enough!" stopped Quinn, "he'll be done with this if he keeps going like this!"
As soon as Quinn spoke, the man was blessed with a heart, and shouted, "Eagle Scepter! Eagle Scepter is a fool!"
Elle then retracted the lightning chain with satisfaction, and turned triumphantly and shouted, "Did you hear that!
This time, it was Quinn's turn to speak in a gloomy tone, "Oh?
As soon as he finished speaking, a deathly white mist rose from the crystalline scepter.
"That's enough!" the Lolita couldn't stand it anymore, "You're not done yet!"
- Ah! Lolita is finally sensible!, Vivien thought to herself like an old mother.
"If I kill him, I won't have to play—"
- What a fool I was expecting from her!—Vivien clutched her forehead in a headache.
After a bit of noise, things were finally back on track. Obviously, this person is not a normal human being, this is also natural, and there are few normal human beings in this world who can still be energetic after being made into a human being, and even recognize Quinn's true identity.
There's no need to torture (are you sure you don't?), this man spits out information like a bean from a bamboo tube.
"That bitch of Verlight chopped off all my limbs, nailed them to the walls with peculiar spikes, and soaked my body with corrosive potions, so that I would be tormented by this day and night!
"No, she's not human!" Lolita kindly reminded.
- Is that the point?, Vivien couldn't help but wipe the sweat off her forehead.
Her focus was much more reliable than Lolita's, and she asked, "Why would Verlittle do this?"
"Because I also have the inheritance of the Christian family!" the man complained angrily, "Villerett is worried that I am a threat to her position, and has been deliberately suppressing me all along!
The group looked at each other, and Vivien looked at Leonard, who held his chin and asked, "Are you Bob?"
"That's right!" replied the man who was said to be named Bob.
"Do you know where Villewlet is?" Leonard asked, incredulously, "and the core of the Scourge of the Dead, do you know it?"
"How could that* man tell me such a secret message. Bob's mood fluctuated at the mention of Willett, "But does she think she'll be able to hide it from me? I'm also a descendant of the Christian family! I can always guess the location of the core of the Scourge through some specific information network that she can't control." ”
When it comes to the Christian family, this guy who is still soaked in a jar becomes proud and reserved again.
He said to Leonard, "You're Claire's personal disciple Leonard, right? How about I make a deal with you? Before I can be corrupted to the pulp by this damn liquid, you let me out, and I'll take you to the Scourge Core to find Villette, how about it?"
Leonard looked at each other with Vivien and Lolita, and the three of them looked at each other in the surprise of surprise.
Was it really that simple? Or was it a trap? The three of them couldn't make up their minds.
"Wait, we'll have to report back to the teachers. ”
Thinking of Charlotte and Claire's instructions, Vivien cautiously pulled out the communication badge, intending to report the situation to Charlotte.
