Chapter 372: A Dungeon
Zhang Yi and I couldn't answer Leng Yue's words, and we both looked at the boy wearing the golden mask.
The boy snapped his fingers at us again, as if to tell us to follow him, and then turned and walked away again, but he walked slowly, as if waiting for us.
Even if we want to turn back now, we can't go back, because outside the gate, there are already bronze armor and swords waiting on tall stone horses.
After exchanging eye contacts, the three of us nodded in unison, and then followed the boy down the dark path.
Where we are, it should be a huge mansion. The yard was full of dead wood, and it looked lifeless and very depressing
Zhang Yi asked in a low voice, "Where is he taking us?" ”
I shook my head in disbelief and motioned for him not to talk more.
The boy led us around the garden area full of dead trees and into a long corridor; Walking through the promenade, we came to the door of a building.
The building was only one storey, and it looked a little rudimentary, with a brick-paved exterior that looked very sturdy, and had only one door, but no windows.
"What is this place?" I felt the cold air of the building, and I felt a strong sense of unease in my heart.
The boy glanced back at us, but didn't answer, not knowing if he couldn't speak, or if he didn't understand what we were saying.
After a few moments, he turned around and walked to the door, raising his hand to nudge.
Listening to the sound of "click", the door slowly opened.
The boy stood in the doorway, hooked his finger at us again, and walked inside.
There is no lighting in the building, and it looks very oppressive in the dark.
Zhang Yi raised his leg and was about to follow, I hurriedly grabbed Zhang Yi, frowned at him and shook his head, signaling not to act rashly first. I don't like being led by the nose like this.
The boy had been acting very strangely, and we had no idea who he was, so we couldn't accept the result of letting him lead us.
However, at this moment, I suddenly felt the building shake silently, and then I felt that everything around me became a little trance.
Faintly, I heard a voice saying to me: Go in, go in......
I walked forward, my mind went blank, and when I came back to my senses, I found myself in the building.
Zhang Yi and Leng Yue followed behind me, looking at me suspiciously, as if they didn't understand my behavior.
In their opinion, I was the one who didn't let me in, and I was the one who walked in first.
I shook my head vigorously, and I was busy beckoning Leng Yue and Zhang Yi out, but I didn't expect that before I could react, I only heard a "clang", and the door closed by itself.
Leng Yue's face changed, and she hurriedly went to pull the two doors, but she couldn't open them no matter what. He tried to bang it a few more times, but the door only slammed into it.
I raised my flashlight and looked up, and saw that there was a stone staircase in the center of the room leading to the ground, and on either side of the stone staircase stood two stone statues of samurai, both holding swords in both hands, and wearing cold and warm golden masks on their faces.
The boy stood on the stone steps, turned his head to look at the three of us, raised his hand and hooked his finger at us, and then continued down.
After a short period of thought, I decided to follow the boy down to see where he was going to take us.
The stone steps turned downward, not too deep, and we only followed down about a dozen floors before we saw an iron fence blocking the way.
The boy raised his hand to push the door, and in the sound of "rattling", the iron fence door slowly opened, and there were still stone steps behind the door.
So, we continued to descend a dozen more stone steps, and once again saw an iron fence gate.
Zhang Yi whispered with some uneasiness: "How do I think this place is a bit like a prison?" ”
Not only him, but I also felt this way, and immediately became alert, and hurriedly raised my hand to signal Leng Yue and Zhang Yi to stop.
I whispered to them, "I'll go down and see for myself, and you go up and wait for me, and if something happens, you can take care of them." ”
Leng Yue shook her head and said lightly: "I'll go." ”
I smiled at him, shook my head in refusal, and walked down without saying a word.
The boy didn't go fast, I quickly caught up, turned my head to look back, and found that Zhang Yi's flashlight and the green light of Leng Yue's eyes were gone, it seems that they have obeyed my arrangement and temporarily returned to the top to wait for my news.
The boy stopped suddenly, looked back at me, looked behind me again, and after a slight pause, said nothing, and continued on his way.
After passing through several more iron fence gates, I came to this place that was sealed off by layers, and found that it was indeed a prison cell, as Zhang Yi had guessed.
The cells were next to each other, separated by iron bars, just a dozen meters in front of me.
The place where I am currently located is a relatively independent space, with only a few things furnished, and it seems a little empty.
As soon as I saw the things hanging on the walls around me and the settings around me, my heart sank because I realized that they were all torture instruments.
The boy turned around and waved his hand for me to step aside, then snapped his fingers in the direction of the dungeon. Almost at the same time, flames burned in the lampstands on the walls on both sides of the dungeon, illuminating the place very clearly.
As the flames burned, I saw a faint gray smoke emerge and begin to fill the dungeon.
I was worried that the smoke was poisonous, so I quickly pulled out a mask from my backpack and put it on.
In fact, wearing a gas mask is the first choice in this case, but our main equipment has been lost, and now we can only make do with masks, hoping to be able to cope.
The gray smoke had a faint fragrance, and after smelling it, I only felt warm and a little dizzy.
A few moments later, I heard footsteps coming from the end of the dungeon.
When I looked up, I found that there were people in every cell in the dungeon......
No, it's not human, they are all monsters, some are human-headed beast bodies, some are beast-headed human bodies, and some are even more deformed to the point of being unbelievable, just like what I saw in the mural.
Could it be that the transformed sacrifices depicted in the frescoes were not thrown into the furnace and burned to death, but were imprisoned in this dungeon?
As I was thinking, I noticed that as the footsteps approached, two tall figures appeared at the end of the dungeon, slowly approaching me with an indiscernible monster.
Oh my God, there was a kobold between those two people, and under the dog's head was a human body, which looked very terrifying.
I quickly calmed down, after all, it wasn't the first time I'd seen something so ugly, I had already seen a stone statue of a creature like this in the Ghost Domain Stone Forest.
The two men approached, ignored me and the boy, and threw the monster, which was no longer alive, to a nearby stone platform.
