Chapter 25: Purgatory on Earth
"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"
The sound of dripping water still echoed in the passage, she took a deep breath, silently recited in her heart that she was not afraid of not being afraid, and her carefree footsteps moved lightly, and as she advanced, the sound of dripping water became clearer and clearer.
Carefree felt as if her heartbeat was synchronized with the sound of dripping, and she didn't dare to breathe loudly, just mechanically step by step.
The lights in front of him were getting brighter and brighter, and Wu Wu felt that his heart was about to rise to his throat, maybe there was someone guarding in front of him, and he might start fighting again.
After a while, Sansso-Wu came to a large room, which was very spacious from his luxurious cell, and there was only a large pool in the room, from which the sound of dripping water came.
Seeing that there was no sign of anyone around, he walked boldly in the direction of the pool, and the further he went, the more solemn the atmosphere became, and everywhere he saw was a blood red, which was actually a pool of blood!
A huge pool of blood was completely displayed in front of Wu Wu, the blood pool was full of red blood, the blood was like a pool of stagnant water, and blood was constantly dripping out of a hole in the wall, and the blood was dripping into the blood pool, and the pool surface only fluctuated slightly and immediately returned to calm.
In the center of the pool of blood was a stone bed, on which lay a man with his eyes closed, the man was dressed in a white robe, but because he was soaked in blood, it showed a strange red, which was particularly strange.
As he got closer and closer to the pool of blood, a strong smell of blood hit Sanssoucian, resisting the urge to vomit, Sanssouci covered his nose and opened a pair of eyes in disbelief, approaching the man with his eyes closed.
A one-man passage spanned the pool of blood, and she walked on it without worry, and in a few moments she came to the man.
The man was only about twenty years old, and his white samurai suit had long since lost his original color, and his face was pale, as if he was dead and as if he was just asleep.
Carefree boldly reached out to probe his snort, and the outstretched hand trembled slightly due to the fear in his heart. When I felt a faint to almost almost no snort, I was relieved slightly. I thought: Fortunately, at least it proves that the man is still alive, but who is he? What will be here?
All she answered was the sound of dripping water one after another.
"Tick, tick, tick......."
Looking towards the source of the sound, he saw the hole in the wall that kept dripping blood, and he was very curious about this hole, so he left the stone bed to see what was behind the wall.
Still so cautious, he paused in front of the wall for a long time, and stepped over with hesitation. As soon as she stepped over the wall, she couldn't help but retreat, she bent over, one hand supporting the somewhat damp wall, the other hand covering her mouth, ran to the side and vomited.
At this time, Wuwu's face was even paler than that man, and even his lips were a little pale. Rao is carefree, no matter how strong his heart is, he can't help but be shocked in the face of the scene just now.
On the other side of the wall was a pool of blood, but unlike this one, which was only full of blood, it could be said that it was almost depleted.
At the bottom of the pool lay many corpses, apparently dried of blood. Their faces were hideous, and none of them were fully corpsed. I couldn't tell which body this head belonged to, and I couldn't tell where the hand was supposed to be, just a pool of severed limbs and a head.
The most complete was the corpse on the face, which was clearly divided into five pieces, and there was blood spilling from his skull, apparently not long after he died, and parts of his body were also discarded at random near the skull, judging from the clothes and body shape, it was clear that these parts belonged to the same person.
As soon as I went in just now, I saw such a scene, in the pool of blood that was almost dry, there was a head lying quietly in the center, his eyes were round, and his eyes were full of horror.
Carefree vomited on the wall for a long, long time, but there was always a feeling of nausea in her throat, and the man's deathless expression in her mind never faded, but became clearer and clearer in Carefree's imagination, she seemed to see the man's death, saw him resisting weakly, heard his miserable howl, and felt the unparalleled fear in his heart.
It seems that he feels that the person lying there is himself, and if he is staying here, that person is his fate. The goosebumps on his body never dissipated, and the coldness in his heart was cold to the bone marrow, and despite all his patience, tears still couldn't stop overflowing from his eyes.
Feeling that she had nothing more to vomit, she collapsed in the corner of the wall without worry, her body trembling uncontrollably, a fear from the depths of her soul that made her not even have the strength to stand.
Carefree like a fledgling who has been protected since he was a child has never seen such a scene, this can be described as a human purgatory, no, this is a human purgatory, I'm afraid there will be no such cruel picture in human purgatory!
Carefree gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, suppressed his churning stomach, slowly stood up, and walked towards the purgatory-like pool of blood on earth.
The smell of blood in the air made her resist covering her mouth with one hand, she was afraid that she would vomit it again if she was not careful.
She stumbled a little, and finally crossed the hurdle and faced the purgatory on earth again.
In this pool of blood, she actually saw a few familiar faces, and the contours of those people's faces could vaguely be seen to be the children of the missing people she had visited.
There is no doubt that these people must have disappeared in the city in recent years.
Worry-free's heart is already cold, did he really fall into the thief's den and was arrested by the murderer, what is the situation he is facing now, will his fate be the same as theirs, thinking of this, Worry-free calmed down.
Now is not the time to panic and be scared, how to escape is the most important thing.
She carefully identified the corpses in the pool of blood, the body was no longer visible, and she could only rely on the leader to identify the number. The number of people is actually more than the twelve missing, and when the number reaches twenty, I don't want to count any more, so the rest of the people must be mercenaries who came to accept the mission like themselves!
The most familiar of them was the man with angry eyes, who was apparently the son of the family he had visited the most rear, and who looked so much like his brother that he could be recognized at a glance.
Why are these people going to be drained and thrown here, and who is the man on the stone bed of the blood pool over there?
Carefree is not that you can't guess, but that you don't dare to guess. Yes, he was arrested near the room of the city lord's wife, this matter must have a lot to do with her, and although the man on the stone bed had his eyes closed, from his facial features, the shadows of the city lord and the city lord's wife could be vaguely seen, and it was obvious that it must be their son.
So is the real culprit behind the scenes the family of the city lord? But why did the city lord issue a mercenary mission to investigate this matter thoroughly, could it be that this matter was only the idea of the city lord's wife alone, and the city lord did not know, countless conjectures were formed in the mind of the carefree, but no matter which one it was, it was not something that could be faced by himself.
It's better to go out first, at least I'm still in danger at the moment, worry-free in my heart, and then I began to look for a way out.
After the pool of blood filled with corpses, Carefree found the only passage, and did not dare to hesitate, Carefree immediately ran to that passage.
Because of the purgatory-like scene in the world before, Wuwu didn't want to stay here for a moment at this moment, and he was not afraid of disturbing the people who caught her, but he was eager to leave this place that annoyed her as soon as possible.
No longer worrying about being exposed, fear and depression drove the end of the worry-free passage, and the light in front of him became clearer from the original glimmer, which was a corner, and the sunlight from the exit shone on the stone wall, forming a faint light.
Turning the corner, worry-free is still immersed in the dizziness of the strong sunlight and the joy of escape, danger has quietly come.
