Chapter 14: "Maruko"
"That's it!" Li Haoxuan's eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.
It is true that the person has found it, but it is a little ...... with Li Haoxuan's imagination It's not the same...... The man who had spoken to him lay quietly in the place where the yellowed weeds had been piled up, but his condition was not optimistic, and now he had his hands and feet cut off and his eyes stabbed.
When he heard the sound of footsteps that would wake him up from sleep, the man hid in the weeds and shivered.
"It's called no need to tie up!" Li Haoxuan was a little overwhelmed by this picture, and remembered the last words of the man - "You don't need to tie it up soon." Li Haoxuan couldn't help but tremble.
"I'll be playing with you in a while, new here." The girl smiled apologetically at Li Haoxuan, the smile that gave people a breeze, but in Li Haoxuan's eyes, it was a devil's smile.
"Can Grandpa Housekeeper bring me what I made?"
"Yes! Miss. β
The old housekeeper stepped forward and opened the plate in his hand, and what caught his eye was a plate of meatballs that he knew was very delicious just by smelling the taste, which made Li Haoxuan, who had not eaten for a day, drool, but after hearing what the girl said, Li Haoxuan suddenly lost his appetite.
"Ace, I made this for you! Your arm is really hard to clean, I have to remove it all and make it into balls, be sure to eat it while it's hot! β
"Woo-woo-" Hearing this, the man named Ace squirmed his body that had turned into a human stick, and kept trying to burrow into the depths of the haystack.
"Don't you want to eat? Well......" The little girl's voice was not as gentle as before.
Ace, who was squirming, also stopped squirming, as if he was struggling with something inside.
"I'll eatβ" Ace seemed to have made up his mind, and spit out these two words faintly in a hoarse voice.
The little girl smiled brightly: "That's right! Ah, open your mouth, I'll feed you. The little girl took out a silver spoon and fed Ace one bite at a time, eating the balls.
Ace's face did not change, but the trembling body showed that his heart was not at peace.
Finally, Ace ate all the food on his plate.
The little girl smiled brightly and said, "So...... Goodbye Ace, goodbye new toys, and be sure to let me know if you're hungry! β
Ace was lying on the ground alone, his eyes blank, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you okay?" Li Haoxuan said tentatively.
"You can give it a try."
"I don't want it!"
"Do you think you'll get away? Those demons won't spare anyone, no one will! Ace said excitedly.
"Who the hell are those people, and you ......"
"Those people? Those are no longer people at all! To say that I would rather face the abyss of the dead than these demons. β
"What are the ...... that we're trying to protect? What monsters? They...... If they knew this, they would have died. β
"That...... Who are you? What the hell are those people...... Monster? Li Haoxuan repeated.
"Me? As you can see! I'm a waster now, and I was an adventurer in the Irish Empire with my own companions...... And now. Saying this, Ace's tears fell big and dripping.
"As for those monsters, they are the beasts that my partners and I sacrificed our lives to protect when we faced the undead natural disaster."
"What the hell is going on? Why are you here again? β
"The ungrateful people in the royal capital, when the undead natural disaster came, sent us adventurers and most of the ordinary soldiers to the battlefield, and none of the high-level combat forces came out, and after sacrificing an unknown number of people, we finally forced the first wave of the undead natural disaster back."
"And what greeted us was not the welcome of the royal capital, but the big fireball of the high-level mage, the high-level leaders of the royal capital did not want to let people know that the high-level people were greedy for life and afraid of death, and they did not even go up to the battlefield, they probably thought that if the people who survived this time returned to the royal capital, it would definitely cause a lot of criticism to the high-level of the royal capital!"
"So...... They sent high-level mages to unleash mid-level fire magic, and those brutes didn't dare to strike when facing their enemies, but they could be so ruthless when facing their own people. β
And I have a fire-based magic talent, I have a certain immunity to fire, but also because I am far away from the attack range and only suffered some serious injuries, but what I waited for was not the treatment but their eradication, because I was also a more famous adventurer in the royal capital, so I was sold to a slave trader, and finally was selected by the pervert to be brought here, it is said that the pervert just now was my fan who was a little reluctant to kill me and let me live for four days, if others estimate that the first day will have to be finished.
"Even so, it is estimated that I will die tomorrow, and it is estimated that you will not live long by then, but remember what I said, although I can't let you escape, but at least I can let you live a little longer, remember not to give up, live for a while longer, there is a little more possibility of being rescued, you have to believe that there are miracles in the world."
"Remember that pervert if you ask if you're hungry? You must not say that you are hungry, even if you are hungry, or he will cut off your limbs and do the same as today. β
"Didn't you also say don't give up? Why say like you're about to die. β
"Because tomorrow they will be even more cruel, and I have asked that pervert to drugged what I just did, so that I can leave this world quietly, and that is probably her last mercy."
"Remember what I said?"
"Hmmm! I remembered. Li Haoxuan nodded solemnly.
"If you feel like you can't hold on anymore, be sure to hold on until the next person comes here, and tell the next person who comes here that if a miracle does happen one day, then the family will definitely have the judgment they deserve, and ...... Actually, you're the 49th person here. Ace barely managed to squeeze out a smile and left the world.
Looking at Ace with an ugly smile, his body slowly became cold, and Li Haoxuan's heart was very complicated: "It turns out that the other world is so dangerous?" Or is it that human beings have this kind of perversion no matter what world they are in, but there is no law here to let them vent. β
In the dark basement, it was not clear how day and night could be distinguished, and Li Haoxuan didn't know how long it had been, but at this moment he was already drowsy, always on guard against the arrival of those perverts.
"Let's goβlet's goβ" The footsteps came from far and near, and the faint light was getting closer and closer, but this time Li Haoxuan lost his first curiosity, and the frequency of his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and the brighter and brighter lights and louder and louder footsteps were like Li Haoxuan's talisman.
