Chapter 33: Immortality I
Darkness, all darkness, she couldn't see any light when she couldn't reach out to her fingers.
She was locked up, and many people from other worlds, were locked underground, there were more than ten houses locked up in her, and it seemed to be a broken wooden door with a rotten iron lock, not to mention Su Yao, even she could kick it with one foot, but she knew that this was just a trick, the outside of the broken wooden door was a copper wall and iron wall, and the big iron door outside not only had a special person handle, but also a variety of unimaginable mechanisms from after stepping out of the door, and accidentally triggering the mechanism was a dead end. Unless someone inside took them out, they would be shot dead on the spot if they dared to step out of the wooden door without permission. She had seen a person from another world sneak out and was solved by Mazi Face without hesitation with a thing. She was frightened at the time, and Su Yao told her that the thing in Mazi's hand was called a gun, and it was the fastest weapon in the world that could kill people. It was the first time she had seen a dead person, and she understood what death was. Every day after that, she had nightmares about the dead man, lying in a pool of blood, his eyes still open, and the place he was looking at was the big iron door.
Before that person died, she also thought about how to escape, she wanted to find Biluo Xuanyue, but since that person died in front of her, she pressed this longing deep in her heart. She has no ability, like a chicken to be slaughtered, she can't compare to Su Yao, Su Yao also ran away once when she just woke up, when Mazi was ruthless to kill her, but Su Yao had already thought of a coping strategy, she used only a little magic ability to tamper with the memory of Ma Zi Face, which is the ability of every other world, but Shu Yao could only hold on for a while because of the oppression of the spirit circle, and the qi of the pockmarked face was not completely eliminated by her, so the pockmarked face broke her legs. But Su Yao is Su Yao after all, she connected the broken leg bone by herself in a short time, and she will use a little bit of her magic ability to repair the broken leg every day, and finally her two legs actually recovered.
The underground rooms she was in were each inhabited by two otherworldly people. Previously, all people would be forced to beg on the streets during the day and perform in crowded places at night. Begging is to go to the bustling streets of ordinary human beings to pull people and ask for money, and to sell art is to use the tricks of other worldly people to show people.
But these are all petty fights, the real purpose of these people is to find out the secret that they can live for more than three hundred years, and get the method of immortality in their mouths, but they can't figure out the methods of this, and they can only let them make money for them after countless failures.
These things were all things she knew when she listened to the conversation between Su Yao and those people. She had never seen the outside world, and what did day and night mean? She didn't know, but when she heard this from someone else's mouth, she would connect with what Biluo Xuanyue had said and imagine the difference between day and night.
Originally, she still had the opportunity to go to the ground to beg and perform, and then take a look at what it looked like during the day, but since the incident of Su Yao and the alien escaped, Mazi Face and Dunzi discussed that only these aliens should be allowed to operate underground, and the time for work was also day and night, but where she was locked up underground where she could distinguish between day and night, everything was figured out by herself depending on the situation.
Day after day, she listened to their guards shouting that it was daytime, and she would be taken to the underground black market to beg with the other people who were locked up, but she didn't have to pay for begging, because she wouldn't be like Su Yao's sweet-mouthed drag and ask for money from people walking in the underground black market. The people who can walk in the black market have either done heinous things or committed heinous crimes, and she watched them appear in front of her one by one with broken hands and feet, and her face was fierce, and she didn't dare to open her mouth to ask them for money.
When the guards say that in the evening, they will be taken to another dark place to perform. The people who stayed in this place were the relatives of the people who wandered in the black market, their husbands or sons were so sinful that they had to hide with them, and the people in this place were not able to see the light, and there were no people in the black market who looked at her in comparison. But she doesn't have any magic ability in her body, every night when she performs, she stands next to Shu Yao, watching Shu Yao be supervised by the person who opens a little bit of the binding of the spirit circle, Shu Yao will mention a little magic ability in her body to these poor insects who come and go with them to conjure up all kinds of good-looking patterns, Su Yao's magic will change a lot of shapes that look like children of the same age as them, and when the children are happy, they will drag the adults to give them a little more reward. And she can only beg for money around this group of children.
In this way, she doesn't know anything, and the people who are in charge of disciplining them also grit her teeth with hatred, and not only that, but the other worldly people who are locked up are also looking at her with strange eyes, because she doesn't work but shares meals with them. Mazi looked at her with a belly full of fire, and everyone was hostile to her, and this feeling of insecurity made her often worry that she would be killed by all of them one day, just like killing the escaped otherworldly.
She lived trembling every day, Su Yao saw through her fear, she smiled and came over to comfort her, "Don't worry, the pockmarked face will not attack you now, because we are now the appearance of a child in their eyes to ordinary humans, I am sixty years old, you are forty years old, this is an old man in ordinary humans, but for the growth and development of our alien people, our current appearance is also a young child in the ordinary human world, as long as we don't run away, we will not be in danger of life now, In a few more years, we will grow into ordinary human teenage girls, and then we will be sold to a man named Lao Ma, who is the biggest source of money for Mako,......"
This is the only time that Shu Yao didn't lie to her after she woke up, and she didn't know what was wrong, so she was sure that Shu Yao's words didn't lie to her, and she also let down a little guard against Shu Yao.
Today, she woke up early again, and Su Yao and her squeezed together on a broken straw mat to sleep, and Su Yao's snoring woke her up. It's autumn now, the autumn is cold, and the people who are guarding them outside have also removed their short-sleeved shorts and replaced them with long clothes and trousers.
Although it is said to be a group for warmth, only Shu Yao is warmer. Sleeping in the middle of the night, Su Yao would squeeze her into the innermost corner of the wall every time, Shu Yao monopolized a whole mat, she could only sleep against the wall, and she couldn't completely fall asleep due to the stimulation of the cold wall.
"Bang-" was the sound of pulling the main gate, and the old-fashioned electric light above her head lit up.
"It's daytime, get up, all for Lao Tzu to get up, are they all pigs? Will sleep......" Asako cursed as she walked through their room to open the rotten wooden door, and walked towards another room to open the door.
Today, as in the past countless times when the lights were on, their group of people who were locked up had to start work again.
She struggled to sit up, removed the legs that Su Yao had put on top of her, stepped over Su Yao, walked from the tattered mat to the ground, put on the pair of open-toed rag shoes next to the mat, walked to the opposite wall, squatted down, picked up a stone hidden under the rags and garbage, and drew a horizontal line under the corner of the wall as before.
"You're really capable, I've already told you, it's useless for you to write and draw like this, even if you carve a hole in this wall, we won't be able to get out." Su Yao also got up, she wiped her face with her hand, exhaled a cool breath, and sneered at her who was squatting on the ground.
She ignored her, but she knew that what Su Yao said was right, and indeed she felt that she was quite bored, carving the time and remembering the day, what was the point? Every day is the same, but if she doesn't do something, she is uncomfortable.
When she had drawn the horizontal line, she put the stone beside her, squatted down and lifted the heel of her rag shoes and put them on, and picked up the stone again in her hand.
"You dead girl, cheap girl, I'm talking to you, why don't you ignore me." Su Yao rubbed her wrist that was a little numb from sleep, shook off her black hand and walked down from the mat, she took a step, the rags and pants on her body also floated up with her steps, her legs were injured by pockmarks because of running away a month ago, although it is almost good now, there is no problem with her movements, but her legs still have a lot of scabbed rotten skin scars, one by one on her calves looks hideous and terrifying, Su Yao saw her legs, and became even more angry, She put on her rotten shoes and walked over to her angrily.
When she saw that the situation was not right, she threw the stone she had just pinched in her hand upwards and caught it steadily.
Shu Yao stopped her steps, glaring at her with a fierce look in her eyes, but she didn't dare to come towards her. But he scolded loudly: "Okay, you dead girl, cheap girl, you will come to this trick, you are afraid that people outside will kill you, but you dare to bully me easily...... Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? Cheap girl, you ...... You wait for me, one day I go out, I will let Daddy skin you first, and then divide the group of people who are holding me...... I'm going to kill everyone here...... Woowoo...... Woohoo......"
Su Yao scolded and scolded and cried again.
She knew that Su Yao's wake-up anger had disappeared, so she put the stones under the original rotten cloth and buried them. She looked up at the corner of the wall that had been carved with thirty scratches, and smiled bitterly.
She had been counting the days since the day she woke up, and in the past day, she had carved a mark on the wall, and it would have been thirty days since today.
She was very afraid of people outside before, afraid that they would kill her, but since the last time Su Yao took the initiative to tell her that she would not be killed casually, her courage has also increased, no matter how scared she is, she wants to leave here, this is the only thought she has after knowing that she is locked up. But ideas are ideas, and practice is another matter. This place is heavily guarded, and even Shu Yao can't escape, so how can she escape? She also doesn't have the ability to spell, and the only way for her to escape is to have strength, and she has the ability that Shu Yao said that people in other worlds will have. But ability doesn't mean that there is one, she has been looking for a way to have ability, but she has never known how to get it.
As time passed, she became more and more anxious, but she found that Su Yao was more anxious than her. After getting along with Su Yao for a long time, she gradually discovered that Shu Yao actually has weaknesses. Su Yao has the ability and her brain is not bad, but her weakness is that her temper is good and bad, and when she is good, she will tell her a lot of things outside, so that she knows a lot of things that she has never seen. But when it's not good, he will lose his temper at her, and sometimes he will beat her.
Su Yao has the gas to get up, she likes to smash things when she comes together every day, likes to find faults, and after finding faults, she beats her for no reason. Although Shu Yao's magic ability is restrained by the spirit ring, her fist and foot skills are very good. Su Yao fought, but she had never touched these things, and every time Su Yao got up and was uncomfortable, she would be pressed into the corner and beaten hard, and she would let go of her when she was comfortable. What about her? When she was beaten, she always wanted to resist, but she didn't understand anything, and her physical strength was also very poor, neither in strength nor skill could beat Su Yao, and she was always beaten passively at first, but after a few fights, she found that she could remember Shu Yao's actions. Sometimes she was able to catch Su Yao's tricks, which made her happy. She told herself that it didn't matter, take your time, it didn't matter if she didn't have magic ability, as long as she was improving, she would always have a great day, she would always have a day to escape. Realizing this, she was no longer anxious, but began to carefully study Su Yao's fighting routine.
Therefore, since she found out that Su Yao has this problem, she has been irritating her intentionally or unintentionally, although Su Yao was injured by the pockmarked face and her legs and feet are inconvenient, but her movements are very flexible, as long as she sees the opportunity, she will press her in the corner, easily restrain her, and fight with her.
However, her learning ability is also very strong, she can learn a lot from the action of being beaten by her when Shu Yao beats her, and the next time she comes back, she will return it to her, and after a few fights, she has completely figured out Su Yao's routines, and she has mastered the trick of defeating Su Yao.
Su Yao has suffered a lot of losses several times in a row, and she knows how powerful she is, but Su Yao just can't change her temper tantrum, as long as she feels uncomfortable, she will get angry at her, and every time she wakes up, she will always have nothing to do, she has no interest in Su Yao after learning Su Yao's fighting skills, and she will no longer deliberately provoke her, but she doesn't take Su Yao anymore, and Su Yao still has to make trouble to defeat her, but Shu Yao also knows that her tricks have been learned by her, she can't beat her now, she can only scold her and cry at the same time.
"What are the ghosts howling about? Did you bully her? Mazi turned back from a row of people who were locked up, opened their room, and sure enough, seeing Su Yao crying again, he asked with an annoyed face.
"No, I want to cry myself, and it has nothing to do with her." When Su Yao heard Mazi's question, she quickly wiped away her tears and said casually.
"There's no best, I don't see anyone fighting and making trouble, you guys take care of your own hands, whoever has a conflict will pull you all out and bury you, understand?"
"Got it."
Luo Sheng and Shu Yao lowered their heads to show obedience.
"If you know, hurry up, I'm going to take you to do something big today." Thinking of what he had to do today, Mazi finally felt a little happier in his heart.
"What's the big deal?" Su Yao ran over and leaned a dark face towards Mazi's face.
Mazi's face was full of disgust, and he pushed Su Yao away, "It stinks, how long have you not taken a bath, like crawling out of the garbage heap......"
Su Yao was counted down by the pockmarked face, her face was blushing, she is sixty years old this year, she already knows what etiquette, righteousness and shame are, she has not taken a bath since she was caught here, her body is dirty and smelly, and the food she eats is also leftover from the dog's food, where can she be clean.
"Hehe......" Shu Yao was a little at a loss there, but she sneered, these people arrested them, made money for them and often didn't give them food, and if they wanted to eat, they also shared a meal with the dog outside the door, and the toilet was solved in the corner of the concrete floor, except for the fixed daily performing and begging to go out, the rest of the time was trapped in this house to fend for themselves, and they still wanted to take a bath and dream, right?
"What are you laughing at? How? Do you think I've done you wrong? Seeing that her sallow face was full of disdain, he raised his hand and gave her a slap.
She covered her face and didn't speak, what's wrong with her? She was about to leave this hellish place, how could she provoke him? Alas...... Sure enough, she was still too calm, and she couldn't hold back just after learning a little skill from Shu Yao.
This slap hit her in the face, but it woke up Su Yao's shyness, and Su Yao also noticed that both of them were out of shape, and quickly pulled her to nod and apologize.
"Dare to contradict me, you are looking for death," Mazi slapped her in the face and was still angry, seeing her and Shu Yao angry, where could she receive their apologies. He kicked her and Shu Yao twice more.
"Fat dunzi, where are you dead, hurry up and come out for me, pull this dead girl out for me and bury ......" Mazi kicked them in the face and shouted at the door again.
Outside the wooden door, the pier ran in panting, looking at the underground and not knowing what was going on.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... "She and Shu Yao were kicked to the ground. Su Yao has an otherworldly magic ability to protect her body, and she can still sit up slowly after being kicked down. But she was just an ordinary person with no magic ability, and the two feet of the pockmarked face made a mouthful of blood gush out of her chest, and she couldn't control it and sprayed directly onto one of the legs of Su Yao, who was trying to struggle to stand up.
Her blood spurted onto Su Yao's rotten legs, but the blood was absorbed by the rotten skin. Su Yao's legs became even smoother and whiter, as if they had never been injured.
It happened in an instant, she and Su Yao looked at the leg that had become shiny, and couldn't react What was going on?
