Chapter 49, Eighteen Coffins
Chixiang Prison is a penal colony for felons, a hell on earth, but the prisoners who really enter it know that there is an even more terrible place in this hell, death row! The most dangerous place in Chixiang Prison is the place where the natural law of "survival of the fittest" can be implemented the most.
The leaders of the various departments of the iron prison are called the head of the family, and the leaders of the various departments of the female prison are called the head of the capital, and the death prison is ...... But for the grave keeper!
A name that sounds terrifying, an evil term washed out by the rain of blood!
Grave keeper! As the name suggests, they show the fear of outsiders for them, for the entire death row prison.
But today, Di Cheng and others entered the death row because of their own mission, and entered the place where this is a nightmare in the hearts of everyone in Chixiang.
However, this thing that should have been desperate for Di Cheng and them had another meaning.
In anticipation and nervousness, the iron door of the death prison creaked open, Di Cheng looked at it, and he was the first to step forward, and the rest of the people followed.
Passing through the thick wall, there is a high wall in front of you that is exactly similar to the one behind you, and a five-meter-wide passage in the middle.
It's another two-layer iron gate, guarded inside and outside!
In the passage, the soldiers who had been waiting for a long time fastened the chain hinges on them in turn, this was the rule, and it was a rule that everyone had to follow. Whether it was Di Cheng or Gao Sen, they were surprisingly cooperative, looking straight ahead, staring at the red iron gate.
Crunch~~ Ready, the iron door opens! A fishy smell that is not light or heavy, mixed with the smell of blood, feces, and the unique smell of corpse decay.
Di Cheng frowned in unison, especially Ye Wantong, who loved cleanliness, and the environment inside might be worse than imagined.
The little hamster, which had been hidden for a long time, also let out a flurry of panic, crawling uneasily in Di Cheng's hair.
Passing through the heavy iron gate one by one, the long-awaited full picture of the death row was finally displayed in front of everyone's eyes. There is no compound, no earthen house, and the pattern of iron supervision is completely different.
What is presented to everyone's eyes is...... A graveyard!
One after another, earthen bags without tombstones were piled up in the vast compound, some large and some small, some new and some old, and some revealing a few miserable white bones, adding an eerie and terrifying smell to the already unpleasant smelling air.
A large number of prisoners with their hands and feet in chains were "piled up" one by one, either sleeping with their heads bowed or sluggish, and no one made a sound.
However, after careful identification, it can be seen that these cemeteries and the prisoners' settlement area are roughly divided into seven areas, and the prisoners at the outermost part of each area are mentally concentrated, vigilantly looking at the adjacent areas, as if they are guarding against something, as if they are about to pounce on them immediately.
Regarding Di Cheng's arrival, basically no one paid attention to them, and they still "abided by their duties", or slept, or vigilated, and did what they should do.
Di Cheng and the others didn't have time to "say hello" to these prisoners, and their attention was quickly attracted by the objects towering over the various areas.
Coffin??!!
There are a large number of tall coffins standing in the already chilling vast cemetery!
There are a total of eighteen coffins, scattered in different areas, and placed in different positions, some lying and some standing. Each coffin is three meters long and half a meter wide, perhaps because of its age, the coffin has begun to crack, and there are holes in some places, and the red paint has long since fallen off, leaving only mottled red patches.
In addition to these coffins, there were also nearly thirty* wooden crosses erected on the edge of the cemetery, which were drenched in blood and covered with bones, and some of them were hung with half-dead people, who fell on them like dried fish.
The vision is like a picture of the end of the world, desolate, depressed, gloomy, and terrifying.
"This is death row?" Yang Jing's gaze slowly swept over the audience, he was not frightened by the scene in front of him, but was excited, and at this time he was even more eager to find the figure of the so-called "grave keeper". But although he felt more than a dozen prisoners in the crowd whose aura was not much weaker than that of Zhang Xiaoyan and other family heads, he did not find a particularly fearful aura.
"What about Diao Zun? I didn't find him. Di Cheng also noticed this phenomenon, aren't there many terrible grave keepers? Why isn't one? Even the Diao Zun he saw that day disappeared without a trace.
Don't......
His heart jumped, and his eyes quickly turned to the coffins that were scattered and stored, could it be that the grave keepers lived there?
They live in coffins ?!
A chill came out of my heart, ordinary people could scream when they saw the coffin, and they actually ......
Isn't it seven? How could there be eighteen of them here, and with the strength of a few of them, they could naturally feel that there were people among them, and they were living people.
"You guessed it right, the grave keeper does live in a coffin." Ye Wantong walked up, her charming face was full of vigilance, Rao is she is the master of the women's prison, and her strength is not bad, but being in such a terrifying and powerless realm still makes her dare not relax in the slightest. "There are no houses, no beds, except that the land is the grave, and only the coffin is a relatively comfortable place. And living in a coffin is also to think of yourself as a dead person, and no longer care about other things, and the name of the grave keeper comes from here. β
"Why are there eighteen coffins?" Yang Jing asked.
"Not all of the seven grave guards of the death prison are combat-type powerhouses, just like the nine-headed monk Xue Ying, in terms of combat effectiveness alone, he can barely reach the point of being the main guard of the iron prison family, and what really makes him supreme prestige is the three super thugs under him. In addition, there are still extremely strong beings in this death row who are slightly weaker than the grave guards, so the prison provides eighteen coffins for the death row and selects eighteen of the strongest people to live in. β
"Nine-headed monk, Xue Ying!" Di Cheng, Yang Jing, Gao Sen, and You Ling narrowed their eyes at the same time.
This guy is really on death row, and he is still one of the grave keepers! Hey, that's interesting.
"What do these crosses mean?" Gao Sen pushed his eyes on the bridge of his nose and looked at the people above with great interest.
"This is a punishment frame, and it is a torture tool for the major grave keepers to enforce the family law. For those who offend them or commit crimes, they are often gagged and tied to them, and they die little by little in the sun and wind and rain. β
"Sunburning?? These grave keepers are a good idea. Gao Sen chuckled softly, as if a friend was talking about family life, not about cruel criminal law!
"In fact, the most cruel is still the Chixiang high-level, if it weren't for them, where would there be so many crosses?" Ye Wantong sneered, her eyes full of resentment. After living in this Chixiang Prison for so many years, she clearly saw the cruelty and even cruelty of the prison's management.
Are these prisoners bloody and ruthless by nature? Some people may be like that, but not the vast majority. But it is the management method of Chixiang Prison that has created this terrible beast full of prisons.
"What are you doing in coffins in broad daylight? Do you really think of yourself as a dead man? Yang Jing rubbed his hands, and his smile gradually showed a frenzy. Brother Cheng, do you want me to wake them up? We came all the way here, how could no one greet us! β
Da Han scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Is there anything to eat in the coffin?" I'm hungry again. β
Di Cheng squinted slightly, to be honest, he also had the urge to fight against the grave keeper, but after all, he was on a mission, and he couldn't cause trouble casually. Moreover, this large cemetery and its prisoners are clearly divided into their own spheres of influence, like packs of vicious wolves, if they easily set foot in them, they will not be encircled. Although Gao Sen and You Ling agreed to cooperate temporarily, Di Cheng would not be naΓ―ve to regard each other as real comrades-in-arms.
Ye Wantong also said just now that there are three super thugs under the nine-headed monk, and Di Cheng has no concept of "super thugs", but since he can put his master on the throne of the grave keeper, his strength is definitely not bad.
Shaking his head slightly, Di Cheng said: "Observe and observe first, and when the grave keeper appears and Xue Ying also leaves the coffin, we will discuss and determine the countermeasures." Two, what about my proposal? β
"Reasonable." You Ling replied simply, but her long narrow eyes still swept through her hair on those coffins.
But when Di Cheng looked at Gao Sen and wanted to hear his opinion, Gao Sen suddenly sighed softly, and his eyes were fixed on the corner of the wall next to him. There was a child with a stuffed doll in his arms looking at them with a grin, but ...... The little face, which had always been white and red, was sickly white, the blood stains dried up on the clothes, and the empty eyes were obviously resentful and cold.
"Tooth tooth? You're hurt! Di Cheng was stunned, and a solemn look flashed in his eyes.
