Chapter 298: The Cartman in the Passage
"What do you mean?" Amdo heard a hint of danger from the words of the little Taoist priest.
"This should all be in captivity by that man."
"Captivity?" Andor's brows furrowed tightly.
"That's right! Or what do you think this is? ”
"Didn't you say this is a prison? Why is there such a mess? Andor was even more puzzled.
"This is a Vatican prison, which is very different from ordinary prisons."
"How is it different?"
"You'll know if you stay." The little Taoist priest replied a little irresponsibly.
"You ......" the little Taoist priest's answer made Andor snort speechlessly.
"You don't have to envy them, this lunch box is very tasty!" The little Taoist priest shook his head slowly and said with a warning tone.
"It's all at this point, do you think I'll care about whether the food is good or not? Some of them are good to eat! Amdo huffed.
"I'm not saying that the food doesn't taste good. I mean, that person's food wasn't that good. Look at the way he looks, he's been watching you. You don't have to act so careless, you have to have a wavering and struggling expression. The little Taoist priest said suddenly.
"Why? I don't care about him, he likes to watch it or not! I'm all in prison, and I still have to care about other people's feelings! ”
"You're wrong, you think that being in prison is your greatest pain? And that's far from painful. I don't see what he's going to do to you, though. But he can keep so many people in captivity here, he must not be a simple person. If you want to offend him here, he will probably have countless means to clean you up. ”
"How can you clean me up? Is Tiger Bench Chilli Water? Andor snorted a little disdainfully.
"You already have a shapeshifter, how can such a means be useful." The little Taoist priest shook his head slightly. "Don't underestimate that guy, I think he must have hidden his cultivation. Otherwise, the eyes wouldn't be like this. In fact, he doesn't use those troublesome means, he just needs to give you less food every day. Ten days and a half may be nothing, but a year and a half, you will definitely not be able to stand it. Especially if you're in the middle of a metamorphic position. If the source liquid of the Lingtai is not replenished with sufficient energy, you will experience several times of pain that is worse than death every day. ”
"Scare me?" Amdo glared at the little Taoist priest unhappily. But his face had become very unnatural. He had experienced too much pain about the 'water'. It needs to be experienced several times a day. As soon as he thought about his experience in the cyan heaven, Andor broke out in a cold sweat.
"If I show wavering and struggling, will he let me go?" After thinking for a while, Amdo still backed down.
"Not necessarily, he should just be an ordinary clerk in the Brahma prison. But you can make him look good, at least with less trouble. ”
"He's gone, is there anything I can eat?"
"Don't eat his food, my instinct is that his food will be very bad." The little Taoist priest persuaded Amdo again.
"Then what's the use of me pretending to be shaken?"
"Useful, let him know that you are not a very strong-willed person."
"Was my original will strong?"
"Hehe......" The little Taoist priest chuckled twice and did not answer the question.
"Aren't you surprised, why don't you have your food box?" Andor was immersed in the realm of his mind, arguing with the little Taoist. Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice came to my ears. Amdo came back to his senses and found that he had finished his meal. All eyes were on themselves again. The cart man who was standing outside the door and had ignored him since he came also raised his head and looked at himself with blazing eyes and said.
"yes? Why is there no rice for me? "At the prompting of the little Taoist. Whether it is really compromised in the heart, or perfunctory. The tone of Ando's speech had become very tactful.
"Follow me." The man who pushed the cart didn't say much. Turning his head to look at the other people in the room, he said to Amdor. After saying this, he did not stop again. Pushed the cart in front of the door aside, leaving a passage for Andor to go out. As Andor walked out the door with some hesitation, he turned around and locked the door with a clatter.
The sky outside the gate was bright, and even the wind was much warmer than the wind on the grassland. From the outside, it doesn't look like a prison. It's more like a bungalow with a big garden. It's just that this garden is a bit big, and there are a bit more bungalows.
Outside the house, there were no airtight corridors that Amdo remembered as prison cells usually have, and there were no heavily armed guards. The man pushing the cart walked straight through the grass in front of the house. Andor followed him cautiously. Rounding the woods in front of the meadow, the cart man led Andor to a gravel road that led underground.
The light on this road is much darker. At a distance of more than ten meters, there is a wall lamp that is not very bright. On the walls, its faint glow shimmered. The car was on the uneven gravel road, and it was noisy. Andor felt that he had come a long way on this road. But the person pushing the cart in front of him still didn't look like he was going to stop. This gravel road is still stretching straight ahead.
The wind blowing around me has no warmth at all. It's cool and cool, and it also has the eerie atmosphere unique to the underground space. Ann took his own steps, and walked more than two thousand steps. The sconces and the straight gravel path have finally changed a little. Not far ahead, there was an intersection on the gravel road.
In what looked like a small square, there were more lights on the walls, and the light was brighter.
The man pushing the cart, at that intersection, stopped. He didn't look back, as if he had always been sure that Amdo would be behind him. When he stopped, he spoke softly. "You're going to have to make a choice here." He spoke in a much more indifferent voice than he had been at the door of the room. In the faint voice, there was also a hint of imperceptible coldness.
"This is the place where you can go to four camps, where you can freely choose where you want to go." The man who had been facing away from Andor, the man pushing the cart, spoke without the slightest emotion.
"Did you bring me here on purpose to make this choice?" Amdo asked, a little confused.
"It's my job." The man pushing the cart replied indifferently. "You don't have to think about the direction you're coming from. That's the guard, and there will definitely be no new arrivals. This direction is the dining camp, which manages all the chores in the Land of Heavenly Spirits. "The hand of the person pushing the cart, leaving the handrail of the cart. He pointed in the direction of his left.
"Don't pick this." As soon as his words fell, the little Taoist priest hurriedly said.
Amdo was puzzled. He didn't answer the question of whether to choose or not, but questioned the little Taoist priest: "He said that this is the land of heavenly spirits. ”
"Hmph, if he says this is heaven, will you believe it?" The little Taoist priest said angrily.
When Amdo and the little Taoist priest were communicating, the small square leading to the four directions fell into silence. The man pushing the cart did not say anything more, what was in the other two directions. It looks like he was waiting, and Andor was lost in thought.
"Ask him where the other two directions are going?" After Amdo and the little Taoist priest exchanged for a while, the little Taoist priest proposed to Amdo.
"Looking at him like that, he doesn't seem to want to say it?"
"Well, of course he wasn't happy to say it. I think he should have seen some of the secrets of your position. In the future, if you are under his hands, I am afraid it will be very troublesome! The little Taoist priest sighed softly.
"Then what if he doesn't say it?" The words of the little Taoist priest made Amdo nervous for a while.
"No, you ask."
"What about the other two places?" After hesitating for a while, Amdo still asked softly according to the little Taoist priest's proposal.
"Two other places?" Amdo's question made the cart man stunned for a moment. The small square fell silent again. Just when Amdo was getting more and more worried, the man spoke again, "You came out of my dining room. There are some things that I shouldn't have said too much. But I'm still going to be kind enough to advise you. The cart man's indifferent voice regained some warmth and persuaded Amdor.
"Those two roads are places where there is no life for nine deaths. I've sent so many people there, and I've never seen a single person come back alive. The cart man sighed softly, as if sad.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, let him say what the other two places are." The little Taoist priest urged Amdo.
"So dangerous, huh?" Andor exclaimed. He didn't follow the words of the little Taoist priest to urge the person who pushed the cart.
"Staying at the camp will at least keep you alive." In the voice of the cart man, he suddenly said with regret. "This is the Corner Camp." He pointed in the direction of He, and said suddenly, just opposite the pathway. "That's a hunting camp." Then he pointed in the opposite direction to the restaurant camp and said.
"It's not a place for people." He let out a long sigh of relief. As if he had said something that he shouldn't have said, he shook his head vigorously. I no longer care about how Amdo behind him chooses. So he picked up the cart and walked to the left passage.
"Pick a hunting camp. It's really hard to mix in the corner camp! The little Taoist priest said softly.
"Where's the hunting camp?" Amdo was still not at ease.
"It's not easy to mix, but at least it's not as easy to die as the corner camp!"
"I'm going over here!" Listening to the words of the little Taoist priest, and glancing at the cart man who was about to disappear into the passage on the other side, Andor shouted.
The sound of Andor's footsteps faded away. Only a slowly blurred figure remained, swaying in the light of the wall.
The cart man who had been moving forward suddenly stopped. Holding the handle of the car fiercely with both hands, the face that was already very vicissitudes of life was about to be wrinkled together. "Do you think you'll be able to escape from my hands?" The cart man murmured. With both hands off the handles of the car, he slowly turned around, looked at Andor who was gradually blurred, and said hatefully.
"It's interesting. Dare to pretend garlic in front of me, you are also the first one! The man pushing the cart kept looking at Andor's vague figure. As if he really saw something from it, he suddenly said coldly. "Are you sure it's better to go in this direction?" Although he chose this direction, Amdo was still very uneasy and asked the little Taoist priest repeatedly.
"It's hard to talk about." The little Taoist priest replied lightly.
"Then you're still letting me choose here?" Andor immediately stopped, and asked loudly in the Mind Domain.
"If you don't choose here, where can you choose? It's not good, but it's certainly not as bad as the other two. ”
"You just say that there is no good place here." The words of the little Taoist priest made Ando very depressed for a while, and then he hated the authentic way.
"It can't be so arbitrary. It also comes to mind, what do you think of this? The little Taoist priest shook his head and replied.
"What do you think? Do you want me to look backwards? ”
"Haha, it's okay! If you can get out of here successfully, I am afraid that things will go much smoother in the future. ”
Amdo didn't know how he could go well, and he didn't understand why the little Taoist priest was so happy. Unless he's gloating over himself. Amdo didn't have the slightest feeling of wanting to be happy. The gravel road here is getting wider and wider. The lights on the walls are also getting brighter and denser. When he reached three different forks in the road, directly opposite the road, Andor had to stop.
The three forks are almost identical gravel roads, and they are no different from the road surface when they came. It's just that the intersection in the middle and on the right is guarded. "Which way do we go now?" Amdo had to ask the little Taoist.
"Wouldn't you have known if you had just asked?"
"Oh, too." Although Andor applauded the little Taoist's suggestion, he still hesitated a little when he saw the people guarding the intersection in the middle and on the right. Although guarding the middle intersection was an old man with some flowery hair. But when Andor looked at him casually leaning his legs against the wall, he thought that he must not be an old man of good talk.
On the right, the young-looking guard on the right stood at the intersection with a serious face. He must be a very responsible person. Amdo thought silently, and involuntarily walked towards the intersection on the right.
"Stop!" It's just Amdo's footsteps, and it's still a few meters away from that intersection. It was stopped by the young defender with a serious face.
Amdo was visibly stunned and stopped. "I want to ask, is this a hunting camp?" Andor asked softly, looking at the young guard as reverently as he could.
"Your cards." The young guard, with a serious face, turned his head in the direction of Andor fourteen or fifteen degrees. Staring at him with a wary face, he asked loudly.
"What card?" Amdo looked dazed.
"If you don't have cards, don't come here." The vigilance in the eyes of the young guardian instantly turned into an indifferent threat. On Andor's body, after glancing from head to toe. Then he turned his head back to its original position, and paid no more attention to Andor.
"But ......," Amdo wanted to ask something more. But when he saw the young guard, he spoke again. The indifference in the eyes slowly turned into an impatient anger. Andor decisively turned and left. "Yichen, what should I do?" Amdo said with some distress.
"You can try that old man."
"He doesn't like to deal with people like that, does he?" Andor glanced up at the old man with one leg still on the wall. Even more uneasy authentic.
"And do you have a better way?"
"Oh, then I'll try it." Reluctantly, Andor walked towards the middle intersection.
"It's finally my turn!" Andor was still more than ten meters away from the intersection in the middle this time, and suddenly a voice reached his ears. This startled Andor and immediately stopped. A little panicked, looking ahead.
"Come here! Ask me anything! I promise to give you a satisfactory answer! At this moment, Andor saw the voice of the voice, which came from the position of the old man at the middle intersection. His legs on the wall were down. The body also turned in the direction of Amdor, and he was looking at Amdo with blazing eyes.
"This ......, what's going on?" Amdo asked the little Taoist priest eagerly.
"It's fine. Wouldn't it be nice to have someone answer your question? The little Taoist priest said with relief.
"But is he too zealous?"
"Zealous, what are you afraid of? I don't think it's right, you just don't listen. ”
"Oh......"
"What questions do you have for me, young man? When you walked over there, I knew you must be new, right? The old man raised his hand, pointed to the gravel road from which Amdo had come, and said in a loud voice. It's your luck to be here. You must cherish it. The old man sighed softly. Andor couldn't see why he sighed when he said he wanted to cherish it. Is it the other way around? If you think so, it's understandable.
"Come here, young man. I have something to say to you. The old man beckoned to Andor and said in a soft tone.
Although Amdo was full of vigilance at this time, he had to ask the old man. Slowly leaned over a few steps.
"Do you know what this place is?" Looking at Amdo who came over, the old man looked at him seriously and asked.
"It's a hunting camp, right?" Andor whispered back.
"Oh, the food delivery guy told you, right? Who brought you food? ”
Amdo shook his head slightly.
"You don't know? It's normal not to know. Those guys have a bad stomach, and they dare to say their names easily! The old man let out a long sigh, as if thinking of a sad past. You're lucky to have met me here. I don't know why you're here, though. But if you don't go to the dining room, it's also a blessing for your young man. ”
The old man's words made Amdo very confused. Although the little Taoist priest said something like this. But Andor couldn't imagine how terrible that place really was.
"It's a tough road, but it's still a road. When you get there, ......alas," the old man sighed, not finishing the sentence. "Now that you're here, let's do it. Strive to come to this road as soon as possible. The old man raised his hand and pointed to the gravel road behind him. You're new and have no guide. Now I'm going to go over there and make a buddy. The old man pointed to the gravel road on the far left and whispered to Andor.
"Although our hunting camp is very cruel, as long as you can survive, at least there will be a human being. Go ahead, whether you can find someone to partner with you depends on your own ability. The old man waved his hand at Andor, his eyes blurred again. Little by little, my feet leaned towards the wall next to me.
"Is that the end of it?" Amdo looked at the old man who completely ignored him, and asked the little Taoist priest with some puzzlement. "What does he mean by that?"
"Maybe I just want to help you, right?" The little Taoist priest also replied uncertainly.
"Shall we go over there then?" Amdo asked, looking worriedly at the gravel road on the left.
"Is there any other way, can we go?" The little Taoist priest also asked.
"Oh." Andor shook his head slightly. Although the pace was slow, I still walked to the left.
The fork on the left is the farthest fork from the big gravel road in the middle when Amdo came over. The road leading in this direction is far less clean than the gravel road that came from it. Even the lights on the walls were much dimmer. Maybe more than a thousand meters, Amdo is not very sure. But there were at least a few hundred steps to the brightly lit fork on the left.
The noise came one after another. In an instant, it washed away the gloomy and lonely feeling that Amdo had walked all the way. The bustling shouting was mixed with a jubble, some language that Amdo had never heard at all. From the fork in the road not far away, all the brains came over. The sound of swearing, of course, can never be absent in such a place.
Getting closer, all kinds of weird, fragrant, sour, and stinky smells wafted out. What kind of place is this? Amdo's heart was filled with curiosity.
This remote fork in the road is finally approaching. The passage that connects this direction has also come to an end. Turn 90 degrees to the right, and a brightly lit corridor unfolds in front of Amdo's eyes endlessly. This strong shock made Andor stand dumbfounded at once.
In his head, there were many kinds of predictions. But in this case, he didn't dare to think about it. This ......, all this is outrageous, right? Didn't you say that you were in a prison called Brahman's Prison? But in front of such a situation, where is the smell of prison!
It's a busy supermarket! Yes, that's right! When Andor saw this scene, he only thought of this one word. On both sides of the brightly lit passage, stalls of various styles are placed. There are stalls that are so small that they only occupy the land of the cone. There are also porches that are so big that they look like big shopping malls. But there are more shops of a few square meters on the side of the road.
There is not much difference between the shop and what Amdo usually sees. The difference is that they put things on the bunk. Firearms, ammunition and even mechs, these things are on the stalls here. It didn't surprise Andor too much. After all, when you are at Xihan Airport, as long as you apply for a license, you can sell your combat mecha in a grand manner.
Amdo was surprised by the number of shops on the side of the road. They are all filled with sealed transparent display cases. The contents of the cabinet are also varied, but they are nothing more than horns, teeth, and bone marrow. There are also a lot of meat that should have been processed and looked clean.
If this is a food market on a normal planet. Amdo wouldn't be surprised at all. But this is not a normal market after all. Isn't this a prison? Amdo once again raised this question to the little Taoist.
"yes!" The little Taoist priest also sighed softly. He also doesn't seem to fully understand the phenomenon. "I've long heard that the hunting camp in the Van Prison is very prosperous. I didn't expect it to be a picture! ”
By this time, Andor had already walked to a shop. It doesn't look big, but there are a lot of people around.
