Chapter 9: The Darkness in the Depths of the Pit
Faith did not suffer the miserable treatment she imagined, neither savage beatings nor rude bondage, and her beloved weapon, Willow Leaf Baiyun, was also given to her after being played with by the black-haired woman for a while...... Not even the dust bullets inside were unloaded.
Weiss raised her eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Are the terrorists of the White Fang so arrogant? Maybe after I escape, I can spread the word to the outside world about your gentlemanly spirit of treating hostages kindly!"
Yingluo smiled: "I've said it many times, we are not the white fangs in your mouth, let alone terrorists, we are just here to find one thing." โ
Weiss clasped her hands to her chest: "Any civilized person knows that you have to get the master's permission before visiting the door, but you obviously didn't do it, uninvited, and probably only the unqualified bandits of the White Fang would do that!"
"Why do you always think we're White Fangs?" asked Yingluo.
"Because except for White Fang, no one or organization dares to be an enemy of the Xue Ni family!" Faith raised her chin and said proudly, "Normal people don't kill themselves, and you White Fang are obviously a bunch of crazy people. โ
"It seems that you have a deep prejudice against White Fang!" Yingluo shrugged, "Are you sure you haven't offended them?"
"Of course, all the actions of our family are permitted by the law, and it is your white fangs who have been keeping an eye on our Xue Ni family's property......!" I grew up with these news, and even several of my relatives were killed by White Fang! I don't know what the Xue Ni family owes to the White Fang, but I only know that White Fang owes the Xue Ni family a lot! It's really a half-orc who has not fully evolved, and there is nothing left in his mind except violence and destruction!"
"Orcs?" Eiro repeated.
"That's right, orcs, or Furners! White Fang is a terrorist organization that flouts the law and does evil everywhere under the slogan of fighting for the rights of the Furner people!"
"So, we're not white fangs. The elevator stopped, Yingluo opened the gate, and said with a smile: "It's already the bottom, please, princess, you definitely don't want to stay alone in the narrow elevator." โ
"I said, don't call me princess!" Vich said unhappily, but still walked out of the elevator, but she quickly pinched her nose and said dissatisfiedly: "What a smell, the air filter on this floor must have been broken for a long time!"
The bottom of the mine is dark and damp, and the ground is covered with large and small puddles, which are seeping groundwater, which should be pumped out as soon as possible, and keeping a dry environment is not only good for the miners' health, but also increases the life of the machinery, but for now, this level not only has no air filtration, but also no water pump.
"I'll fire the foreman on this floor when I go back!" said with a pinching of her nose and a slug in her voice, "He's already seriously violated the mine's safety regulations!"
"Don't worry about your shoes, Your Highness Princess!" Ying Luo pointed to the front and said, "Let's take a look at this, I think I probably found the reason why White Fang hated your family!"
"What?" Vess walked over with a shallow foot, looked at Yingluo's fingers, and immediately opened her mouth wide in surprise, and even the hand pinching her nose unconsciously put down, completely forgetting the disgusting stench.
Her dark blue eyes were full of shock, and her face was full of puzzlement: "How is it possible, how can this be? This is not in accordance with the regulations, it is against the law, Xue Ni family...... The Xue Ni family will not ...... Won't ......"
In front of Yingluo's eyes, there was a group of scrawny laborers, both men and women, wearing tattered clothes, which could cover their shriveled and dirty bodies, handcuffs and shackles restrained their limbs, and many of their wrists and ankles were drenched in blood, and even festered and rotten, but they still waved the pickaxe in their hands, hitting the rock wall like a machine, peeling off beautiful dust crystals.
These people have some animal characteristics on their bodies, either a second pair of ears on their heads, or tails behind them, I don't know how long they have been working here, but judging by those numb eyes, it must have been a long time!
"White Fang is the organization that saves the Furner people, but the Xue Ni family is enslaving the Furner people, it's not surprising that they will find trouble with your family!" Yingluo asked, "This is your family's mine, don't you know?"
Weiss replied dumbly: "I'm not an adult, I'm not a core member of the company, and it's the first time I've come to the bottom...... Wait, wait, it's not like this is the time, why would my mine use the Furner people...... To be a slave is to break the law!"
Weiss took a few steps forward, grabbed the arm of a Furner man, and asked loudly, "What's your name and why are you here?"
But the Furner man only glanced at Weiss with numb eyes, and opened his mouth to utter a few meaningless syllables.
"Damn!" Vess let go of the other man, and the man waved his pickaxe again and continued his "work", and Vess asked several people in succession, but they all responded in the same way.
"Bastard, where is the maรฎtre d'hon, come out at once and explain to me what the hell is going on!" Vess shouted angrily, her body trembling, but no one responded.
Bang Dang!
With a kick, Vess kicked over the box containing the dust crystals, and the beautiful dust crystals splashed onto the filthy inside, making a crisp sound.
The Furner laborers turned their heads in unison, without complaining or reprimanding, just silently picked up the box and picked up the scattered dust crystals one by one, the wounds on their wrists dripped blood, mixed with the dust crystals, and were neatly stacked, just this small box was worth tens of thousands of lithium coins. But looking at the blood stained on it, the originally beautiful dust crystal became extremely ugly, so that Weiss couldn't help but want to cry, she seemed to have been pulled out of the bone fish, sat on the dirty ground, and muttered: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this......"
Suddenly, the bell rang all around, and the Furner laborers put down the pickaxe in their hands and walked in the same direction, where there was a huge iron pipe sticking out from the rock wall, more than ten meters high from the ground, and when the crowd gathered, the front end of the iron pipe opened, squeezing out a large stream of black viscous paste, and pouring the Furner people below with their heads and faces.
The Furner laborers didn't pay any attention to this, but opened their mouths numbly and swallowed heavily, as if this was their food. But the paste didn't last long and soon stopped. The Furner people seemed to be accustomed to hard labor, and they picked up the food from the ground and stuffed it into their mouths, swallowing even the dirt into their stomachs.
Hiluda analyzed the information carried by the paste, frowned and said, "It is some nutritional paste that can sustain the basic needs of life. But it contains a psychotropic drug that will make people gradually lose the ability to think, and they should be affected by the drug when they become what they are now. โ
Weiss hurriedly asked, "What about ...... As long as they stop taking their medication, will they be able to return to normal?"
Hiluda glanced at her, shook her head, and said, "Unfortunately, the drug has caused irreversible damage to their brains, and even if they stop taking the medicine, they won't be able to recover." โ
Weishy's face darkened, and she suddenly gritted her teeth and said, "You are here to save them, I will help you break the guards, at least ...... At least so that they can go back to their hometown......"
"And then?" Yingluo suddenly asked, "Waiting to be caught by you again?"
Weiss clenched her fists, "IโI'll convince my father to stop doing this!"
"It is impossible to make greedy capitalists give up cheap labor, just like making mankind give up air!"
"I will not allow you to slander my father, he ...... He's not what you think he is!"
"No, he's what I think he is, not what you think he is. He may have been a kind father, a good businessman, and a successful entrepreneur, but he was definitely not a qualified person. With a wave of his hand, the Furner coolies fell to the ground.
Surprised, Weiss widened her eyes and asked, "What did you do?"
"It's nothing, it's just for them to sleep. Yingluo said: "I still have some things to do, it will take about fifteen minutes, you can take advantage of this time to think of a good reason!"
"What reason?"
"A reason for me not to destroy the Xue Ni family!" Ying Luo said coldly: "I don't like what you do, I don't like it at all!"
The terrifying momentum made Weiss tremble, but she still held on and did not retreat, maintaining the glory of the family with a trembling voice: "With your white fangs, you also want to destroy the Xue Ni family, don't dream!"
"It's not White Fang, it's me!" Ying Luo leaned into Weis's ear and said, "You can not believe it, but I have killed many big people, and there are not a few who are more powerful than your Xue Ni family, and in the end I survived, and they have long since disappeared! Think about it carefully, you only have fifteen minutes!" After saying that, Ying Luo walked forward, leaving Weiss in a cold sweat standing still.
Xiluda walked over, patted Weiss on the shoulder, soothed the other party's heart with the small universe, and said earnestly: "She's really angry, she's not joking! Believe me, destroying the Xue Ni family is not a difficult task for her, the only thing you can do is to seize this last chance!"
