Yuzo wasn't the kind of person who would dig a hole and bury the corpses of his killed enemies when he had nothing to do, so he bent down to pick up the brass key that had fallen to the ground and was about to be stained with Rush's blood, and inserted it into the small hole in the lock.

Unexpectedly, there are no things like some anti-theft realm techniques that ninjas often use on this door, maybe Rush feels that it is difficult to see ninjas in places where this kind of bird doesn't, or maybe it's just lazy.

With a few turns of the key, the door opened with a click.

Behind the door led directly to the ground, and some dim oil lamps hung on either side of the door emitting an orange glow. The stone steps down are rough, and the signs of wear and tear are not serious, and they should be underground vaults that have been made in recent years.

Although the ventilation system seemed to look good, the rain still smelled some strange smells.

It's a stench, should it be? But there are some differences, in short, it's not a good smell. I don't know how this guy Rush can stand this smell, maybe it's because he's used to it?

Descending the stone steps, it is about ten meters deep underground. Two more fence gates appeared in the middle, which were directly kicked by Yuzang, and there was a clear and piercing sound of metal deformation in the narrow staircase passage.

At the end of the stone steps, Yuzo saw what the underground chamber looked like. It appears to have been excavated from a large block of stone, with the walls and floor as a single unit, with only a few holes for ventilation with metal fences.

It's a lot brighter here.

Yuzo heard some voices, and he could vaguely tell that it was a woman's moans and cries of pain. Now that it was clearer, Yuzo heard the man's voice mixed in with it.

Well...

At this time, I don't know who is in such a mood to do this kind of thing here? Didn't he know that Rush was dead, and that there weren't a few of his companions dead? Or have you gone crazy and vented at the end?

Judging the location based on the sound, Yuzo walked over quickly.

In a room with a thick wooden door tightly closed, the sound was constantly coming through the walls and wood. The man inside was still intoxicated with the pleasure of being filthy and ugly, unaware of the approaching person outside.

Then, the wooden door was kicked in two by Yuzang.

The shattered planks flew inside and landed on the ground. In a room of about dozens of square meters, a naked man on a large bed turned around when he heard the sound, shivered after seeing the broken door, rolled off the bed and knelt on the ground and shouted subconsciously: "Boss, it's not me..."

At this time, Yuzo happened to walk in.

Seeing the unfamiliar face walking in, the face of this man, who was about thirty years old and in the prime of life, suddenly settled down.

"Who are you? Is it new? If you dare to break the door, I'm going to teach you a lesson today! When he saw Yuzo, he directly regarded him as a newcomer to the group, so he wanted to kill people. What he was doing now, if Rush had known, he would not have survived for one night.

He wasn't one of the three people he had previously consulted with Rush, but a caretaker who was often ordered to stay underground. As for the woman who put it on, it was Rush's confinement, and this was Rush's room as well.

As a hungry ghost, he has coveted this woman in Rush for a long time, but he usually hides it well. But today, my brain suddenly got hot and I did this kind of thing. When I do it, I feel a lot of pleasure, and I feel like I've got the whole world. And now that the matter is at risk of being revealed, various emotions such as remorse, anxiety, and fear come to my heart, and the murderous intent that follows is difficult to suppress.

Anyway, there are often people under his command who die in private fights, and when Rush asks, he will say that this guy will take the initiative to provoke himself.

He didn't know that Rush was getting cold by this time.

Seeing this without even wearing clothes, when he picked up a weapon from the side of the bed and rushed over, Yuzo only thought it was funny.

Bending down to avoid the long knife in the man's hand, Yuzo came behind him and slammed the katana into the back of his head with its sheath. This blow was enough to shatter his cerebellum, and before he could collapse, he stopped breathing and heartbeat and other vital activities.

I don't know if there are any other Rush's subordinates in this underground, and Yuzo plans to search carefully.

Turning his head to look at the woman on the bed.

To be honest, this is a pretty woman, but it should be after a good dress-up, not a haggard face and blank eyes after a long period of torture. The body that was supposed to be fair was covered with bruises, redness and swelling at this time, with countless new injuries and old wounds.

Unfastening her black cloak, Yuzo helped her cover herself.

Yuzang's movements seemed to finally make her more conscious, her eyelids with tears lifted, and she looked at Yuzang and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."

"It's a gesture." Yuzang said lightly.

"By the way, do you know where Rush's money is?" It suddenly occurred to me that this woman might know about this, so that he would not waste time searching.

However, the woman did not answer as he wished, she seemed to be distracted after saying the three words just now, her eyes looked at the stone wall roof above her head without the slightest focus, and there was no response even if Yuzang called a few more words.

“...”

At this time, Yuzang suddenly had a feeling that he should give this woman a knife. Maybe after she died, she would be able to get the so-called liberation?

After watching quietly for a while, Yuzang still didn't start, and he lit a cigarette.

After taking a few deep breaths, he waited a while, and even reached out and slapped her face twice, to make sure that the woman showed no signs of improvement, he glanced at the room and turned to walk.

Rush's money, anyway, wasn't in the room where women were imprisoned.

At this moment, Yuzo began to feel that there was no longer the anticipation and excitement he had had for the possessions that Rush had gathered. It's obviously because of that woman's influence...

To be honest, Yuzo just felt sorry.

This Rush seems to be one of Orochimaru's subordinates, claiming to be the king of this place, and then kidnapping the population and sending it to Orochimaru for human experimentation. Although Orochimaru may prefer to use ninjas as experimental subjects, there are as many ninjas in the entire ninja world, and it is impossible for him to catch enough ninjas for experimentation. So it is natural to use ordinary people

Maybe Yuzang could have been earlier, and the man didn't succeed just now, maybe she wouldn't have completely collapsed.

But Yuzo won't dwell too much on this...

I'm just really sorry.

While patrolling around, Yuzang was a little out of energy. It's also a natural reaction to a bad mood, and there's not much to say. But at some point, Yuzo noticed that the smell was even more pronounced.

Searching for this smell, Yuzo came to a large door. There was no lock on the door, it was just shut, and with its own weight, it was difficult to push open this huge stone door without seven or eight people.

But Yuzo only needs his hands.

The sound of rocks grinding sounded, and at the same time, Yuzo clearly sensed that there were many sounds inside, and a not-so-good feeling rose.

Sure enough, after pushing open the door, there were countless cages more than one person high. This is also the place where Rush and these people held the captured "tribute".

That stench is also the smell that has accumulated over the years when the people who have been locked up here have excreted in their cages. Although Rush also forced these people to clean up themselves, first, these people could not do their best, and second, over time, the smell had already melted into the environment and could not be removed in a short time.

Naturally, the cages are not full, and there are hundreds of cages that now look like more than twenty people.

These people are men and women, elderly and children.

Yuzo saw a solitary cage covered with a dirty rag, on which lay a child, very small, about five or six years old, motionless.

These people clearly saw that it was Yuzo who came in, not the people they had seen before, and they all shouted in weak voices, with their hands stretched out of their cages: "Help... Help me..."

Anyway, maybe it was because Rush gave them too little food and water, and these people were very weak, and their voices were weak and indistinct.

Drawing his katana, the shiny blade made the men stop their movements in fear and shrink towards the inside of the cage.

As he walked, Yuzo waved the weapon in his hand and broke the locks on the cage one by one.

"Those guys are almost dead, and you're free now."

Someone stumbled out of the cage and fled outside. There are also people who hesitate and have some doubts about Yuzang, and they stay in the cage cautiously and dare not act rashly.

After splitting open the cage where everyone was locked, Yuzo didn't care if these people were running or what.

He opened the door of a cage.

On the thick cloth that could no longer be seen in its original color, the child was covered in stains and lay quietly. Yuzo couldn't even tell his gender, and his face was so dirty that he couldn't see it clearly.

He reached out and sniffed.

A scrawny man with little cover from his body panted past the cage and stopped when he saw Yuzo's behavior.

He sighed in a vague voice: "Benefactor, thank you for saving us." But this kid was a few moments ago... He got sick half a month ago and was very serious. Those sub-demons just found some medicine and didn't know what kind of medicine it was for him, and the result was..."

"Do you know his house?"

"I don't know, we are not actually people from the same place, and we all know each other in the minority." After the man finished speaking, he saw that Yuzang was silent, and slowly left the smelly place on tiptoe.

...

Half an hour later, Yuzo sat down on a rock, in front of a small bulging grave bag. At the moment, he was holding a wooden plaque and was going to write something.

But in the end, I had to insert a blank plank in front of this small mound of earth.

Not far away there is another large burial mound.

It belonged to the woman from before, and when Yuzo saw her again, she used the long knife that had fallen to the ground to slit her own neck

After questioning, no one knew who she was.

In the end, Yuzo could only insert a blank plank like the small one.
