After answering a few questions from recruiters, Shopkeeper Tian coughed lightly and said:

"Today you will rest here first, and tomorrow morning, the selection will officially begin. ”

With that, the steward opened the curtain and left.

There were only ten recruiters left in the entire room, including Xiang Yuan.

Unfamiliar with each other, the dull and stagnant atmosphere gradually lingered throughout the room.

These recruits from all over the world are almost all servant defectors from various families.

In order to escape the harsh exploitation of his family, he came here, hoping to find a new way for himself through the recruitment of the Demon Mansion.

The panic and nervousness of betrayal keep these people on high vigilance and instinctively wary of strangers.

In the dreary room, it was so quiet that you could hear even a pin dropping.

Shrinking in the corner, Xiang Yuan's eyes were bright, silently staring at the group of "companions" around him.

Several of these people in front of him can be seen at a glance as Lian Jiazi.

The seemingly loose and lazy posture is actually a knot of essence, and once it is shot, it will inevitably be a thunderstorm.

Although the other few don't seem to be practicing martial arts, they have a long breath, and they are obviously not ordinary people.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon......

With a silent sentence in his heart, Xiang Yuan's gaze finally fell on the woman in the green gauze skirt who asked the question before.

......

Listen to the rain on the second floor of the tea shop

The shopkeeper Tian, who was holding a purple gold toad in his hand, sat on the Taishi's chair, holding a thick pile of information and looking at it at a glance.

"Lord Steward, the information of these recruiters is here.

Except for the one named He Qing, everyone else's foundation is quite clean, except for one named Xiang Yuan, whose appearance is different from the appearance when he signed up. ”

Standing on the side of the shopkeeper Tian, the hunchbacked old man who had previously entertained Xiang Yuan said respectfully.

"He Qing said hello from above, so you don't have to check it again.

As for this one called Xiang Yuan......

Anyway, this time it's a trial of a new drug, and it's uncertain whether he can survive it.

When he survives the recruitment, it's not too late to check. Putting down the information in his hand, Shopkeeper Tian rubbed his eyebrows.

The recruitment of the Demon Mansion seems to be another way for those who defected from the family, but in fact it is not as good as these participants think.

These people who have betrayed the family have a big problem with their own loyalty.

The Demon Mansion is subordinate to the imperial court, so it naturally attaches more importance to loyalty.

Therefore, these betrayers who are full of hope in their hearts are actually an alternative consumable for the Demon Mansion.

The hunchbacked old man did not answer, he was only a servant and was not qualified to participate in such discussions.

"Tell me to go down and let the following start preparations, and the selection will officially start tomorrow. ”

Putting down the purple gold toad in his hand, Shopkeeper Tian turned his head to look at the round of silver moon hooks hanging next to the bed, flowing with a faint silver frost object, which was very strange......

......

In the haze, Xiang Yuan, who closed his eyes and recuperated, was woken up.

A muscular man was clutching his right arm, glaring angrily and annoyed at the sneering short-haired woman across from him.

"Sister is in a good mood today, so I'll cut off one of your dog paws, and next time I'll directly abolish your guy!"

The short-haired woman's voice was clear, her eyes were like electricity, and she had a hint of sharp taste.

was scolded loudly by the short-haired woman, and the anger in the eyes of the man with the broken arm was high, but he had no choice but to be inferior to others, so he had to swallow his anger and walked aside, not daring to speak.

"You guys also remember for your sister, mind your mind, and watch out for your dog's paws. ”

The short-haired woman's tone is mean and ruthless, not the slightest bit of feminine weakness, but more powerful and domineering than men, revealing anger.

The ones recruited by the Demon Mansion are really not ordinary goods!

Glancing at the arm of the man with the broken arm, Xiang Yuan smiled in his heart.

This kid obviously saw the short-haired woman asleep and wanted to take the opportunity to rub the oil, but he didn't expect the short-haired woman to hide it deeply.

Stealing chickens and rice did not make a loss, but the woman's arm was unloaded with a palm, and the mouth full of bitter water could only be swallowed in the stomach.

Mixed fish and dragons, good and bad.

The people who can come to participate in the recruitment of the Demon Mansion are not ordinary people, and they have things on hand, so they are naturally a little unruly when they do things.

Especially many of these people are domestic servants of the family, and they are used to following the master's arrogance and arrogance, and if they don't suffer a little, it will be difficult to change for a while.

After a little farce, the room fell into a stagnant silence again.

Except for the man with the broken arm who snorted from time to time because of the pain, the people in the whole room still maintained a silent tacit understanding.

The sky was dark, the door of the room was pushed open again, and the shopkeeper Tian, who had changed into a purple and yellow long dress, held a cup of tea.

"Get up and come with me. With that, Shopkeeper Tian led everyone out of the house.

The crowd followed closely into the courtyard.

In the courtyard of the backyard, there is a tree that shades the Mutong tree in the small half of the yard.

Behind the tree is a lid that looks like a kiln well. The shopkeeper Tian approached the kiln manhole and lifted the cover, and inside was a blue brick passage that led straight down.

"Keep up. ”

Holding the teacup and taking a sip, the shopkeeper Tian beckoned to the crowd to catch up.

Standing in front of the blue brick passage of the black hole, you can feel a cool breeze swishing out.

But since they have already made up their minds to participate in the recruitment, they are naturally ready to participate.

Not daring to slack off, a group of people hurriedly followed the steps of the shopkeeper Tian and entered the blue brick passage.

The passage is down, and there is no ventilation, and the air can't help but carry the slightest smell of damp and moldy.

The width and height of the passage are not very spacious, and it will feel a little crowded when two people walk side by side.

A man like Xiang Yuan, who is 1.9 meters tall, will touch the top of the passage as long as he tiptoes slightly.

In the narrow and crowded passage, everyone didn't make extra sounds, just silently followed behind the shopkeeper Tian, and in the dead atmosphere, in addition to the sound of breathing, there was only the sound of rustling footsteps.

Xiang Yuan walked in the middle and rear of the group, and there was only a short, slightly chubby man behind him.

The passage was dark, except for the faint oil lamps that appeared on the walls from time to time, there were almost no lighting facilities in the entire blue brick passage, Xiang Yuan could only vaguely look at the backs of the people in front of him, and followed step by step.

After walking a few hundred meters in the blue brick passage, a bright light shone on Xiang Yuan's face.

In the rectangular underground space of thousands of square sizes, a line of people dressed in gray cloth and holding cloth towels on their faces hurriedly walked.

Their hands are densely packed with liquids of different colors in transparent containers.

On either side of the underground space, there are ten smaller rooms, and these people with glass containers come and go, looking very hurried.

"This is where this recruitment and selection will be.

The selection of my Demon Mansion is actually very simple, it is just a few injections of medicinal liquid. ”

Putting the teacup in his hand on the table next to him, the shopkeeper Tian put his hands into his sleeves and looked at the recruiters in front of him: "This time, the recruitment level is B."

In other words, you have to endure two injections of the liquid medicine, and if you can survive the final injection, you will be able to officially join my Demon Mansion. ”

Hearing this, two or three of the ten recruiters looked shocked.

"Steward, what exactly is the liquid you are talking about, can you explain it to us?"

Taking a step forward, a man in his mid-thirties with a slender face stepped forward and asked anxiously.

When the others heard the man's question, they also turned their eyes to the shopkeeper Tian.

They are all servants of the family, almost all of them have been injected with demon blood, and they all know very well in their hearts that the medicinal liquid in the mouth of the shopkeeper Tian is likely to be an unfinished demon blood substance.

And this so-called recruitment and selection is probably using them as test subjects for this kind of unfinished demon blood substance.

"These potions are the core secrets of my Demon Mansion, and you are not considered to be from the Demon Mansion, so I can't tell you. Shaking his head, Shopkeeper Tian's eyes were flat, and he had already expected the questions of the recruiters.

And yesterday, I asked the shopkeeper Tian what level of assessment the woman in the green skirt was, and at the moment her pink fists were clenched, her eyes swayed, and she seemed to be still making a choice.

"It's not a selection, it's just experimenting with us! I'm not participating!"

After a brief silence, a man suddenly shouted, and with a chaotic turn, he was about to flee down the brick passage behind him.

However, at the moment when the man turned around, a fierce wind suddenly turned into a dark shadow, slashing over everyone's heads!

Poof! into the back of the fleeing man's head.

With a muffled grunt, the man collapsed, half of the teacup lid on the back of his head sinking deep into the skull's brain.

What a terrifying force!

Witnessing Tian's display cabinet with a casual blow, Xiang Yuan's expression changed slightly.

The skull is one of the hardest bones in the human body, and from such a distance, it can still drive the brittle teacup lid into the human skull.

The fact that this inconspicuous pipe is terrible!

"Does anyone else want to go?"

Shaking his hand, a touch of coldness surged in the eyes of the shopkeeper Tian, and the people who were swept by his gaze felt a chill on their backs, and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to make eye contact with him.

After a simple killing of chickens and monkeys, the remaining nine recruiters all extinguished the idea of escaping in their hearts.

The selection began, and the nine recruits were taken to separate rooms on either side of the hall.

The separate rooms on either side of the hall are not very large, less than twenty square meters.

In the simple room, apart from an iron bed that binds people's hands, feet, and limbs, there is only a table full of various reagents and needles.

"Please lie down. ”

The gray cloth clothes that entered the room with Xiang Yuan signaled Xiang Yuan to lie on the iron bed.

Looking at the restraint belts that still had some slight mottled bloodstains, Xiang Yuan could almost imagine in his mind those other recruits who had gone through the selection on this iron bed.

Did I put in some kind of human tissue......

With a tangled expression, Xiang Yuan didn't expect that the recruitment of the Demon Mansion would be like this.

It's like the man who was killed by the shopkeeper Tian shouted, this is simply an experiment on them.

However, although he regrets it in his heart at this moment, he has already made a decision against Xiang Yuan.

After all, even if he can escape from here, the demon poison in his body will also kill him.

If he can survive this so-called recruitment, he may still have a chance to live!

After all, he still has equipment in his body.

Maybe it will really survive this selection that everyone has heard of.
