Chapter 211: The Mysterious Prisoner
"It's okay, you can take me over and see. No, just turn back. Di Renjie replied softly.
"It's good that adults don't blame." Lin nodded respectfully. He looked to the left twice, stood there for a moment, and then looked to the right, as if listening for movement. After hesitating, he led Di Renjie to the path on the right.
The path on the right winds around, and after the two of them walked for dozens of meters, a glowing stone appeared.
Lin stepped on the stone first, and Di Renjie followed closely behind.
Just in the blink of an eye, the stones flew upward, and Di Renjie saw himself appear on a flat ground.
At the very front of the open flat land was a large iron cage poured with iron railings.
In the three-meter-high empty stone cave, it was dark, and the only light source was the lantern in Di Renjie's hand. Maybe it was the faint light in Di Renjie's hand that stimulated the people in the cage, and he heard the sound of crawling hands and feet.
Lin still had a straight face, leading the way in front, and Di Renjie followed behind. The two of them were still several meters away from the iron cage, and suddenly heard the people in the cage shouting excitedly.
"Da! Da! Da! Da-da-da-da! ”
"Master Luban! IQ 250! Worship! Extreme worship! ”
"Whew! The ultimate monster is here! ”
"Actually... I'm the final boss! ”
Lin walked up to this point and stopped.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I seem to have gone wrong." Lin touched his head embarrassedly.
"Well, it's fine." Di Renjie heard the prisoner's voice like a child.
But he wondered how a child could be locked up here by the empress. But hearing the words that came out of the prisoner's mouth was more like incoherent madness.
However, Di Renjie thought about it, if he was locked up here for a few years, he would probably go crazy, so he didn't think much about it.
"My lord, please go back with the little one." After Lin said something embarrassed, he quickly turned around and walked back.
Di Renjie nodded, then turned around, and the fire of the lantern in his hand gradually became farther and farther away from the dark cage.
I heard only the sound of a violent Cessosiso in the cage, followed by the sound of a child slamming the railing with his hand.
"Whew!! Come back!!! ”
"You bad woman!! Let me out!! ”
The childish voice of a child, roaring loudly! It was a little unbearable to hear.
Di Renjie stopped slightly, looked back at the cage in the distance behind him, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
He lifted the lantern in his hand and shone it in the direction of the dark cage.
He vaguely saw a child lying on the railing, covered with tears. It's just that the little kid doesn't look like a human, but more like a marionette.
The child's head was pressed against the railing, as if he were desperately squeezing out, and his big eyes were full of longing and pain. That kind of desire is moving in people's hearts, and Di Renjie is naturally no exception.
"My lord, let's go." Lin saw that Di Renjie had not moved for a long time, and reminded him in a low voice.
"yes, okay." Di Renjie nodded hesitantly, put the lantern back, and continued to walk back.
Then he heard the little child behind him, and began to laugh wildly, and then slammed his head against the iron cage.
"Hahaha! Disastrous! ”
"It's amazing! Disaster is coming! ”
"If you don't touch the plastic villain, you won't die, why don't you understand?"
When Di Renjie heard the last sentence, his hands shook unconsciously. He continued to walk back with heavy steps, but with a single turn, he stepped on the glowing stone and followed Lin back to the path at the fork in the road.
"Don't touch the plastic... Villains don't die? Di Renjie muttered in a low voice, and he only felt as if he had heard these words there. There was a familiar strangeness that he couldn't tell why.
"Are you alright, sir?" Lin heard Di Renjie's chatter, so he stopped and waited for Di Renjie.
"Hmm... It's okay. Di Renjie poked the lantern in his hand to the ground, the wet ground was full of green moss, no wonder he just walked all the way, only to feel that his feet were slipping.
"Lin, who was locked up in that room just now?" Di Renjie was very curious about the prisoner just now.
"Back to the adults, the little ones don't know. I only know that this person was escorted back from the Dongfeng Battlefield by General Su and Her Majesty the Empress seven years ago. But His Majesty has never visited this man since he put him in prison. Lin recalled carefully and said seriously.
His gray coarse linen clothes, his pale face with a hint of haggardness.
His knuckles bent slightly, gently caressing the stone wall beside him, and his footsteps never stopped, leading Di Renjie back to the intersection. Now you only need to go to the path on the left to get to General Su's cell.
"You said that the kid just now was escorted back from the Dongfeng Battlefield?" Di Renjie was shocked, could it be that the little kid just now had something to do with the battle for the Dongfeng Altar many years ago?
But why did the empress imprison the child? Maybe General Su will know about this.
"Hey, my lord, that guy said it was a child, it was better to say it was a puppeteer! It's not a real person. Lin's tone was slightly amused.
"Puppeteers? How do you know? Di Renjie heard the puppet for the first time and felt very strange. And just now in the cell, it was too dark, and he didn't see it clearly at all. Why can't Lin's eyes see, but can he conclude that he is a puppeteer?
"My eyes are blind, but my ears are good! I listened to the little boy walking around the cell, his feet on the ground, his hands touching the stone wall, the sound of his snorting, it was very hard. Is it like the sound of a man's flesh falling to the ground?
And the child's shrill cry was simply mechanical. A person's throat is always soft and smooth, and the words that come out are always soft. It's not like a machine, it's cold, it's emotionless! ”
When Lin said this, he closed his eyes and shook his head gently. It seemed that he could still hear the puppet's voice in the cell.
"According to you, that guy is indeed a puppeteer. I didn't expect you to be so good at hearing and distinguishing people! ”
Di Renjie was very surprised by the sensitivity of Lin's ears, but at the same time, he was curious, what should he look like in Lin's heart?
"Really? Do you want to know what adults look like in the eyes of a small person? Lin was rarely praised, and the interest came, and the words became more.
"Tell me about it?" Di Renjie held the lantern in his hand, pursed his lips and smiled. He raised his eyes and glanced at the deep and long fork in the road, estimating that he would have to walk for a while past General Su's cell.
"Adults feel special. Although he didn't speak, he had a strong sense of oppression, which made people have to be careful.
This strong sense of oppression has only been felt by another mysterious prisoner except for adults. ”
Lin frowned, his expression very serious.
