Chapter 66: Singing in the middle of the night

"Click, click."

The candles on the walls around me were flickering, and I looked at the flickering candlelight and closed my eyes a little tiredly.

I was tired from climbing the ladder before, but now I was leaning on the edge of this cold pillar, and it didn't take long for me to feel confused, and I soon fell asleep.

"Gold thread, red satin, wedding dress, crested hairpin, agate bracelet, worn by the bride."

In a daze, I vaguely heard a very soft voice, faintly sounding, this voice was far and near, although the tone was good, but it revealed an indescribable weirdness.

"Break the green silk, strip off the black pupils, cut off the limbs to become a demon, hehehehe."

What had been a soft singing voice suddenly became bright, and a terrible laugh came to my ears.

I closed my eyes and felt chaotic.

"Heheha, heheha!"

The laughter was high and low, and finally I was awakened by the laughter, and when I opened my eyes, I found that I was in total darkness.

It immediately occurred to me that the candle on this wall must have burned to the end.

So, he began to shout loudly: "Someone! ”

As soon as he shouted, he felt that something was wrong again, and changed his words: "Is there a demon slave guarding underneath?" Come up, the candles are out! ”

shouted three or five times in a row, but there was no movement underneath.

I don't know if the demon slaves deliberately ignored me, or if they really didn't hear it.

"My body is rotting, let me die sooner, hehehe!"

The singing was still the same, and this time I heard it clearly.

"You're down there, aren't you? Come on! The candles here are really extinguished. I shouted.

If the demons and monsters were standing directly in front of me, I might not be so frightened, but in the darkness, I couldn't see anything, which made my heart panic.

"Heheha."

The laughter was so close that I got goosebumps all over my body, and in the darkness, I sat still and didn't dare to move, so I could only raise my hand to cover my ears and not dare to say anything more.

In the midst of this fear, I don't know how long it took, I tried to slowly lower my hand.

The surroundings became extremely quiet, and the previous singing was as if it had never existed.

However, I didn't dare to close my eyes again, and the strange song seemed to echo faintly in my ears, so I sat on the ground all night with my eyes open.

The next day, if it weren't for the sound of footsteps coming up from below, I wouldn't have known that it would have been dawn, because it was still dark in the building, because there were no windows upstairs.

The demon slave who delivered breakfast had a candle in his hand, and as soon as I heard the movement, I immediately shouted at him: "There are ghosts here, there are ghosts!" ”

"Tsk, this master, don't talk nonsense, where is this, this is the golden cage of Jiuxiao, where did the ghost come from? Those evil spirits are all waiting in the savage purgatory. "This demon slave is still the demon slave with some black skin yesterday, and it can be seen that he should be the head of the group of demon slaves below.

"Excuse me, what do you call it?" I deliberately wanted to please him, so I simply took off the jade earrings on my ears and handed them to him.

"Hehehe, the slave's name is Lao Hei, and he is the steward of those demon slaves." His eyes, when he saw the jade earrings I handed out, were all glowing.

I heard Qingcen say before that demon slaves and slaves can't get enough to eat, but you can take something valuable and go to the dining hall in private to exchange for some food.

Therefore, even in the demon capital, this "silver" is still very important.

Money can make the devil grind, and this applies as well.

"Old Black, can you light all the walls with new candles? The original ones were burned out. I raised my hand and pointed to the wall, the bare candle stand.

Lao Hei glanced at it and nodded: "But isn't it?" It's all burned out, oops, it's the minions who didn't notice, Master Luo, the minions will let the demon slaves below give you new candles. ”

Lao Hei said, roared in the direction of the staircase, ordered to go down, and then put a food box on the ground, opened the lid of the food box, and I was stunned, there was only a bowl of rice in it, and nothing else.

"Master Luo, eat quickly, don't be hungry." Black grinned at me.

I noticed that the corners of his mouth were actually covered with fat, as if he had just eaten some big fish and meat.

But the food of the demon slave is the worst in Yae, in the words of the fat monk, there is no meat at all, and the demon slave on the nine heavens should be about the same.

Looking at the old black in front of me, and then at the rice in the huge food box, I immediately understood that he should have taken advantage of his position to steal my food.

I knew I would have to stay here for a long time, so I didn't say anything, but put my hand out of the cage and brought the porcelain bowl in.

This meal is not much, I ate it in three bites, and I didn't have a grain of rice left, but my stomach still felt empty and hungry.

"Master Luo, the slave will retreat first." As he spoke, he stood up, and a few demon slaves came up and reinserted the candles on the candle stand on the wall.

"Old Black!" Seeing that Lao Hei was about to go downstairs, I stopped him.

Lao Hei turned his head sideways and looked at me: "Master Luo, what else do you have to order?" ”

"Here, here, really, there are no ghosts?" I looked around.

Lao Hei listened to my question and laughed.

His laughter was extremely obscene.

"Master Luo, the slave said that those sneaky ninth-rate things are all in the Savage Purgatory, what kind of place is this? This is Jiuxiao! Lao Hei sneered on his face, as if I had said something extremely ridiculous.

"But, last night, I heard someone singing." The corners of my mouth quivered, and the strange song still echoed in my ears.

"Master Luo, you, you're tired, I heard it wrong, we were all downstairs guarding you yesterday." Old Black sneered.

"So, I called you, did you hear me?" I asked.

Lao Hei was stunned, his cunning eyes rolled, and then he shook his head.

Obviously, they should have heard it, but they didn't want to talk to me, so they didn't come up to check it out.

"Master Luo, you have a good rest, the slave retires." As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, his men followed him downstairs, leaving me alone.

My gaze kept sweeping around, outside the iron cage, there were white walls on all sides, and I couldn't see anything weird, and above?

I looked up at the top of the cage because the top of the cage was so far away from me that I couldn't see it clearly.

I just vaguely saw a black thing, squinted for a long time, but didn't see clearly, and finally gave up, sat on the ground and rested on the edge of the cage.

At noon, when the demon slave came to deliver lunch, Long Xuanling also came, and when I saw Long Xuanling, I was like seeing a life-saving straw, and I quickly stood up.
