The body was groggy and groggy to lift even a finger, and the stomach and intestines seemed to be extraordinarily active when every cell was tormented by hunger, like a fire burning in the middle, jumping extremely empty and uncomfortable, and the little saliva secreted in the mouth could not even moisten the lips, and it seemed to have a slight bitter taste on the tongue coating - not only did they have no food, but they also had no water for almost two days.

No food or water, nervous, panicked, and then dying in a closed room.

Zhu Zhen smiled bitterly in his heart, he had to say that these kidnappers were clever and grasped the idea that people would not beat and not use ** hostages in the first place, which would only make the feelings in the hearts of the hostages more intense, and lock people up in such a place that is enough to disintegrate people's will, and after a period of time, not to mention the idea of escaping and resisting, I am afraid that even their own will will will be difficult to maintain...... And children are not as resistant as adults, and they are usually more flustered at this time, and they collapse faster, so they only need such a secret room, which is to close five or six people at the same time, and it is estimated that it will not take a few days to make these people obedient, right?

Since they were put in this "cage", the two kidnappers have never shown their faces, their small room, as if forgotten by the world alone, and Bamboo Hoop and Iris are also in the forgotten part, no one will come to rescue them, and even the idea that someone will come to rescue them has become shaken.

Although the two kidnappers never showed up again, they did not let their guard down, and when they felt the spiritual power attack again, Iris was attacked again.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Zheng could judge that they had been kidnapped for almost two days.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Zhen did not dare to lightly reveal the level of his spiritual power - if even he was attacked, then they would never have a chance to escape.

Bamboo Hoop was cautious, hiding his mental power, and there was no way to watch Iris being tortured, all the feelings that had been suppressed in his heart, from the emotions and feelings that he had been trying to forget about Jì for a long time, finally transformed into an extremely cold killing intent like ruin, when he confirmed his safety, Bamboo Hoop would use his soft mental power to appease Iris, although it could not reduce Iris much pain, at least it could prevent Iris from collapsing under these multiple tortures.

And Iris, after becoming familiar with this kind of mental attack, is gradually able to maintain his sanity - this is definitely not a good thing, after suffering it, he has to face other things. Iris had cried at the beginning, but never cried since, he was stronger than Takehoku had imagined, and after clearly recognizing the situation they were in, he actively cooperated with Takeho to keep his mentality.

Calculating this time in his mind, in a relatively safe moment, Bamboo Hoop would whisper to Iris silently, but despite this, Iris Eyes showed his change - from worry to fear to panic and finally to numbness, he tried hard enough to not completely despair, just because Bamboo Hoop was the last support in his heart.

Looking at Iris like this, Bamboo Basket felt even more sad in his heart, under the cover of giving up and resigning his fate, his behavior was extremely calm, and his eyes, which were often drooping, were all filled with darkness.

It's almost there...... In order to ensure the survival of the two of them, it is impossible to continue like this. Bamboo Hoop tilted his head, stuck out his tongue and licked Iris's dry lips, Iris was just a child, he was afraid that the despair in Iris's heart would continue to expand - even so, in fact, it couldn't change anything, even a little, he hoped to give Iris comfort and salvation.

In fact, compared to Iris, in fact, the lack of water in the bamboo basket itself is more severe, and it seems that even the skin is about to crack, and the bamboo basket has an illusion, he is not sure if his skin will explode directly in the next second, turning into a piece of fish scales. Humanity's demand for water is unstoppable even after evolution, and it has been long enough that the dead cannot become goods, so this state will not last long, and it will not develop in a better direction, at least it will not be worse than now.

Bamboo Basket's heart sank, but at that time...... Iris, who has an S-level physique, I'm afraid it will become the focus of the kidnappers' attention, he's a weak chicken with both mental power and physique, heh.

Soon. Soon.

***

As the bamboo basket thought, on the same day, a few hours later, the kidnappers came, casually threw a slice of bread, and then lifted Iris out very gently, locked the electronic door again, and left the bamboo basket alone to lie on the floor weakly and stared at the snow-white ceiling.

Hungry and thirsty, the bamboo basket was in a daze for nearly an hour, as if it had only reacted to what had happened before, and slowly crawled to the side of food and water with his body propped up, like a rusty machine with a programmed process, he ate half a slice of bread stiffly and slowly, drank a sip of water, and then fell to the ground weakly and fell asleep.

――Not sure when food and water will be delivered next time, and ...... I don't know if they'll give Iris enough food and water.

Iris must not have an accident.

The bamboo hoop was attached to the cold floor, there was only one hidden room on this ship, otherwise he would have been separated from Iris in the first place, Iris would definitely be sent back, and the only thing he could do was ......

***

The kidnappers will take Iris out for a while, probably because Iris has completely lost the mind to resist and is lifeless, when he is screwed back to the room, Iris has no scars on his body, but his spirit is getting more and more trance-like, and when he returns to the room, he just stomps on the bamboo hoop, and the two lean against the sloping wall, their expressions are becoming more and more hollow. Every day, the kidnappers gave Bamboo Basket a glass of water and a piece of bread, and Iris didn't seem to have enough to eat outside......

A few days have passed, Zhu Zhen and Iris are both haggard, emaciated, Iris not only lost baby fat, cheeks under the concave cheekbones are prominent, at first glance shocking, has long lost the previous agility and liveliness, only vaguely from the facial features to see the original outline, not ugly but far from beautiful.

The S-rank body recovery ability is much better than that of the bamboo hoop, although Iris is injected with A-grade muscle relaxants, he can maintain ordinary movements, but his spirit is indeed on the edge, and the bamboo hoop is injected with S-grade elixirs, plus the reason for his legs, the condition is much worse than Iris, desperate, no need to deliberately show Xiàn, but also lingering beside the two.

The kidnappers finally let go, they wanted people to be safe, they didn't want people to really go crazy, they didn't pay any attention to the two people leaning against the wall, hung curtains and paintings for this pure white room, arranged simple furnishings, turned on the helium lamp of the door frame of the electronic door, showed the outline of the door, and even placed a pot of beautiful ornamental flowers with bright yellow, so that the depression of the whole room disappeared a lot.

Despite this, the two people lying on the ground reacted slowly and frighteningly.

After the two left, Zhu Zhen's hands were slightly buckled into the floor, and his loose hair covered the corners of his mouth.

***

When Zhu Zhen and Iris were imprisoned and tortured, Chris was already in a hurry, his mouth was full of bubbles, and the anger in his heart could not be calmed down at all - after he received the email titled "Your grandson is in our hands", unprecedented anger swept over, he immediately clicked on the email, the content of the email was empty, the strange Cheng dù of this incident and beyond Chris's expectations, and enough to arouse his doubts.

This email address is his personal and used to contact his family and old friends, and no one else knows it. It's about Iris, I can't afford him not to pay attention to it, Iris is the only bloodline left in the world by his eldest son, he can't be killed, he asked people to check the light brain that sent the letter, and immediately called Winston, if I'm not mistaken, Iris's little guy should be on vacation with Winston and the mermaid, Winston's explanation made Chris suspicious, and immediately contacted Robert who picked up Iris, Robert's loss of contact made Chris realize that this matter was extraordinary, and quickly gathered his men to go to the island, and at the same time informed Winston of this matter.

However, now that six days have passed, only the button transmitter on Iris's body has been found on the beach, they have not found Iris, Robert's fate is uncertain, only a small blurry video has been repaired on his damaged personal terminal, and what is even more terrifying is that they have not received any messages asking for ransom after that, except for the mail on the first day!

This means that the odds of finding Iris have plummeted......

In just a few days, Chris's gray hair has increased a lot, and even his posture has increased a little. A single means at its disposal had been used to strictly control all aircraft and sea travel at the first time, and the island was later garrisoned by the Legion with Winston's approval, in order to detect anything unusual.

Thanks to the missing mermaids, the evidence is sufficient, otherwise it would not have been so quickly requested by the Empire. Many parties have sent people to look for it, but so far, there is no news! Chris's anger was suppressed in his heart, and he resolutely used all the power of the Leicester family to synthesize the image of the criminals to be pursued by the whole empire, and anyone who provided clues could get a one-to-one bonus, and finally locked the target on the sea.

Winston took a few of his cronies, his face was as gloomy as ink, and the air pressure on his body even the other S-class officers did not dare to look at him directly, only Xia Fan could say a few words to him, they took a military warship to search the map of the sea area, and there was still no gain-

And Chris is in the capital star, people gradually lose their cool, and finally get angry and admitted to the hospital - start to investigate, Iris will not be innocent and deliberately kidnapped, unless someone instructs, and those who have a conflict of interest with their Lester family, and those who have a conflict of rights with Winston may be the murderer, he is now sick, but to protect Iris, and when Iris is recovered, some are liquidated.

It is necessary to make some people realize that even if the beast is obscure, it must not be provoked.

***

Once again, he was given water and food like a domestic animal, and Iris was sent back indoors, as before, Iris dragged his heavy steps, and shook like a walking corpse to the bamboo hoop, sat down close to the bamboo hoop, and the bamboo hoop held him tightly into his arms, and slowly picked up the bread slices and fed them to Iris's mouth.

The bamboo hoop turned slightly sideways, covering Iris between the walls, and all the hard crooked bread that he had saved before took this opportunity to be swallowed into his stomach like Iris's gobbling up, and the dry and hard bread was like a piece of glass that cut his throat and made him almost want to vomit, but he intuitively knew that he must not vomit, a glass of water was sent, Iris took it, swallowed all the things in his mouth in one gulp, his face turned pale, and after eating these, it took less than a minute, and then, Iris lay down beside the bamboo hoop, picked up his fist, "bumpered" on the wall they were leaning on, the metal and the fist collided, stirring up a little spark, Iris quickly attacked the wall, more than a dozen punches, the wall was dented, the phalanx on his little finger was ground red, gradually oozing blood, his face was still numb, his eyes were not very clear, just continued to fight, before the sound of footsteps outside, finally punched through a big hole in the wall!

The bamboo hoop propped up the hole and climbed up, breaking through the wall of thirty or forty centimeters, the sound of the waves outside became clear, and the sound of the waves was clear together, it was the footsteps that were getting closer and closer outside, the bamboo hoop picked up Iris, placed him with his legs outward and the hole, kissed Iris behind the ear, and the bamboo hoop said softly, "Iris, don't be afraid, believe me." ”

Three to four meters above the sea - it doesn't matter.

Bamboo took a deep breath and hugged Iris's chest, Bamboo Hoop pushed Iris out of the hole, the weight of the child pulled him to hold Iris's arms, cut several wounds in the hole full of sharpness, blood gushed out, Bamboo Hoop body quickly followed, from the hole that was beaten, hugged Iris tightly, and jumped down the endless dark blue sea.

Drifting across the ocean with bare hands is impossible for humans, and for mermaids, it couldn't be simpler.

Iris, we're free. So, it's okay to smile at me again, don't be so dangerous, it's still in a trance, and even the instinctive perception and fear of danger ...... It's all gone.

My Iris, you have suffered.

The scarred fishtail of the illusion in mid-air crossed a graceful arc, plopping into the water, the two kidnappers came in, just saw the feet of the bamboo hoop disappear at the entrance of the hole, and when they chased to see, they only had time to see the white waves, and the green clothes smashed the wall hard, and nodded to the middle-aged man, the search was so strong, they could die, but they couldn't escape!

The middle-aged man nodded, turned to leave, and the green clothes punched the original hole a few times, and he also supported his body and jumped into the water!
