Chapter 55: Pretending to be asleep
When Jiang Xiaobai was sober, he was no longer on that huge platform.
He quietly closed his eyes and listened to all the movements around him, the man who beat him with a stick, his hands were very heavy, but he was extremely measured.
There was some noise around, and there was a lot of shouting and crying.
The miserable voice came into Jiang Xiaobai's ears from all directions, making him not have a good impression of this place.
"On the 17th, the people you brought this time are a little worse, and they haven't woken up for so long."
A woman's voice came into Jiang Xiaobai's ears, making Jiang Xiaobai very curious why there were women in such a place.
The sound of heavy military boots falling to the ground came from Jiang Xiaobai's ears.
"Boy, if you still pretend to be dead, I won't wake you up for the rest of your life."
Jiang Xiaobai immediately knew that he had been discovered, and since he had been discovered, there was no point in pretending to be there.
The woman was a little unconvinced, and said, "No. 17, he is obviously still in a coma, where did he wake up?" ”
At this moment, Jiang Xiaobai felt a murderous aura that fell on him.
His body's instinct made him immediately take a defensive posture and prepare for the battle.
The woman sighed lightly and said, "I'm really sober, it seems that he has a lot of thoughts." ”
Jiang Xiaobai saw a man holding a long whip made of unknown material in his hand, aiming it at him.
"I still have the weight to start with, but this little guy has brought me a little surprise, this is interesting, I have fun again."
This is a very strong-looking man, he is more burly than Scarface, and the muscles on his bare arms are very obvious.
It's just that when Jiang Xiaobai looked at this man's legs, he found something unusual.
"One leg?"
Although the man was standing on the ground with two legs, one of his legs was prosthetic.
Even so, this man made Jiang Xiaobai feel extremely dangerous.
The man looked at Jiang Xiaobai, with a hideous smile on his face, and said, "Boy, since you have so much thought, then go and be like them and know what obedience is!" ”
"Smack!"
The long whip in No. 17's hand fell on Jiang Xiaobai's body, and then the clothes on Jiang Xiaobai's back exploded directly, and the place where the long whip fell was already a blur of flesh and blood.
Jiang Xiaobai endured without making any sound, and then staggered out.
The 17th was slightly surprised, and said to the soldiers on the side: "Take him to calm down, let him know what the rules of purgatory are." ”
The soldier was like a wooden man who only knew how to carry out orders, and pushed Jiang Xiaobai very roughly.
Jiang Xiaobai only felt the pain in his back, and he hadn't eaten for two days and two nights, and after being pushed, he didn't stand firm and fell to the ground.
The soldier picked up Jiang Xiaobai, who had fallen to the ground, as if he were carrying a little chicken.
was dragged into a room by the soldiers, and the soldiers threw Jiang Xiaobai into it with force, and then with a "bang", the iron door was directly closed.
It took Jiang Xiaobai a long time to finally sit up from the ground.
The hot feeling on his back finally made Jiang Xiaobai gasp.
"Hiss~"
It was a room without any decoration, and there was nothing in it but the cold walls.
Of course, there are some people who are locked up in this room like Jiang Xiaobai.
These people are of different ages, the oldest is in his twenties, and the youngest is the same age as Jiang Xiaobai.
Jiang Xiaobai tried to move his position, but found that as long as his body moved slightly, the pain in his back would intensify.
Enduring the pain, Jiang Xiaobai finally leaned his shoulder against the wall, allowing him to rest temporarily.
These people looked at Jiang Xiaobai, who had just been thrown in, and their eyes were full of helplessness and despair.
It's completely different from the purgatory life they thought of in the first place.
Slowly, as time passed, someone finally began to talk in a whisper, trying to connect with feelings.
Jiang Xiaobai had a child next to him who was about the same age as him, touched Jiang Xiaobai's arm, and then said in a low voice: "My name is Geng Tianhao, I am from Qianjiang City, what about you?" ”
Qianjiang City?
Jiang Xiaobai had never heard of this place name, and he had never been out of the city since he was a child.
"Why don't you speak, you won't be dumb, will you?"
After Geng Tianhao and Jiang Xiaobai talked a few words, they found that Jiang Xiaobai didn't pay attention to him at all, and then turned his head to talk to another child.
Soon, the conversation began to grow louder.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't get involved, as if he was an outsider.
In another room in this place, Number 17 and the woman in red were standing in front of the screen watching every move in the iron house.
The woman in red said: "I don't know what these city lords think, they will let them come to purgatory to die, you look at this bunch of chicks, how to adapt to the life of purgatory." ”
Purgatory is a cold, earthly hell with no emotions to speak of.
"No. 25, didn't you change from a chick to what you are now?"
No. 17 suddenly popped out of his mouth with such a meaty sentence, but he didn't see any shy expression from the woman in red.
"The old lady came to purgatory at the age of 12, but she is much stronger than them, what, do you want to see if I am a chick?"
The woman in red was about to sit on the man's lap, but when she saw the man, she immediately avoided it.
The woman in red chuckled and said, "Coward, am I that terrible? ”
Man No. 17 didn't respond, he knew that the more he ignored the woman in red, the more crazy she would become, and the best thing to do was to ignore her.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the woman in red to find it boring, so she stopped teasing man No. 17.
Man No. 17 said, "Let's go, it's time to let these raw melons and eggs know what life is like in purgatory." ”
"Are you coming or am I coming?"
The woman in red put her hand on the No. 17 man and said, "Although the old lady is the 25th, she has much more experience than you in this area, of course I came." ”
The woman in red walked out of the door first, and the man followed closely behind and went to the room where Jiang Xiaobai and the others were being held.
Although Jiang Xiaobai did not speak, he kept listening to the conversation of these people.
It turned out that everyone in this room was just like him, bounty hunters who had just arrived in Purgatory.
Many of them thought they were here to train, but they didn't expect it to be treated like this.
"Lao Tzu was already a red second bounty hunter at the age of 15, and I am the best genius in our city."
As soon as this remark came out, it attracted the praise of a group of people.
The 15-year-old Akaji bounty hunter, which can certainly be considered among the geniuses.
"And then?"
While this person was enjoying the praise, the iron door "clanged" and was kicked open.
Seeing the visitor, Jiang Xiaobai immediately felt that something was wrong.
