Chapter Eighty-Three: Clichés
"The process of making the masked man is cruel, isn't it?" In the dark stone room, the woman, that is, Wenzi, was tied to a pillar with a thin but very firm tie, her hair was messy, and there was a big black bag on her forehead, and her eyes were swollen into a slit......
Ah Li's cold voice echoed, but she didn't react at all, as if she didn't hear, only breathing heavily.
Her severed arm had already had a thick layer of blood crusts, and she looked extremely miserable. Si An stood aside, but his face was surprisingly fierce, and when he saw that the woman didn't react, he kicked the wound hard!
He is always gentle and polite to people and things on weekdays, but he is sincere to his friends with his occasional poisonous tongue, but when he encounters something related to the case, he will become violent and irritable, like a large torpedo that hits at one point, and the lethality is quite large.
For him, no murder and no real murderer was a big failure for his entire career, and it was a rebel of the beliefs he had always adhered to, which was unforgivable. This case was hastily ended last time, and it was already very good to be able to endure it until now.
"Speak! Why, you don't have the courage to kill so many people and don't have the courage to speak?! ”
After a long time, I heard Wenzi snort: "Cruel? It's just the rule of the jungle, damn it, you can't escape any of them. She never felt that there was anything wrong with what she had done, and she never regretted that she had fallen into such a situation. The only thing she regretted was that she had lent half of the masked man to Fu Lu, otherwise, she would not have fallen to this point...... The Holy Maiden is still waiting for more masked people......
Only this only belief is enough to support her today.
Si An kicked again angrily, for this kind of vicious and unrepentant murderer, he has always made no distinction between men and women, after all, she has never distinguished between old and young when she started, right?
Ah Li chuckled: "You go to the left side of the door to tamper with other people's lives, the method is extremely cruel, and you still have the face to cover up with the rules of survival?" After a pause, he walked up to her and bent down, and twisted the necklace that was bare and bloodstained and turned dark red with his white fingers: "The saint you are loyal to seems to have never come to greet you."
The light and fluttering voice hit Wenzi's heart like a heavy hammer! The pupils hidden behind his hair shrank fiercely, but he still pretended to be calm and argued: "I'm just a sinner, of course I don't have the right to bother the saint!"
Having said that, she couldn't help but be disappointed.
It was as if there had been no movement over there since she was tied in, as if the whole world had forgotten about her......
The glimpse of the downstairs that day flashed in my mind, and my heart was astringent. But it is self-blame.
If she tried harder, wouldn't she......
Yuan Yanzhi pulled Ah Li's hand back, silently rubbed back and forth on his clothes, and said, "Let's go." He naturally has the means to ask the answer, and today's is just to determine how loyal this person is to the so-called saint in her heart.
Luckily, as he expected.
That's a lot easier.
Si An didn't object to Yuan Yanzhi's words, his words were always so convincing, making people trust unconditionally for no reason. He glared at the silent Fumiko and walked behind.
This place was actually a small tomb, but no one was buried in it, and it was probably abandoned. When they were looking for a stronghold in Chang'an, they did not hesitate to take it for themselves. Well, it's still Yuan Zhenzhi's head.
"Master." Chang'an has been waiting on it for a long time with a few cages covered with black cloth, and it is stumbling inside, I don't know what it is. Ah Li reached out curiously, but was suddenly caught by Yuan Yi: "Don't be naughty."
“???” What's that? It's like coaxing a child......
The next moment, Yuan Yizhi suddenly lifted the black cloth under Ah Li's blazing gaze, and the things inside suddenly saw the light, and suddenly became restless, chirping and running back and forth in the cage, and even the cage was constantly shaking! Ah Li was shocked when she saw the gray: it was a few unusually fat mice!
There was a rancid smell peculiar to the ground all over his body, which was ...... Rats that grew up eating dead human flesh! Living in graves all year round, feeding on dead corpses, with sharp teeth and fast gnawing!
Yuan Yanzhi didn't explain, but just instructed Chang'an: "Find some big funnels."
"Yes."
After Chang'an turned to leave, Ah Li tilted her head and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Yuan Yizhi didn't answer, just kissed her forehead and said, "Ah Li has worked hard recently, so let's rest well in the past few days."
……
At night, Ah Li tossed and turned in bed and couldn't sleep, although it was early in the morning, she was in good spirits, and her eyes were bright and scary in the dark.
There was no one around.
Yuan Zhen's reputation is to let her rest well, and she didn't let her go out with her, mysteriously......
And in that tomb, since the night has been screaming, terrible, like a demon crying! The place that should have been pitch black was now shining with a faint light, and the pungent smell filled the entire stone room, and there was a large funnel around Fumiko, and the sound of water ticking back and forth, like a quiet lullaby, but the pain made her awake all the time.
What's even more terrifying is that her body is scratched everywhere with blood marks at the moment! Beside her were several large rats in thin chains, their paws covered with blood, their beaks bound in specific cages, staring at her with their teeth creaking and seeking.
At least in the eyes of Chang'an and other imps next to him, it is very terrifying.
Yuan Yanzhi played with the chains in his hands, and felt that he seemed to be more merciful than before, otherwise he would have given her rat punishment a long time ago.
The woman always has a natural fear of mice, and just now, in addition to the pain on her body one after another, there is also the fear in her heart that was magnified countless times when those big rats rushed over fiercely and abnormally.
Under the torture of wakefulness and lethargy, her consciousness was already slowly blurred.
"Don't be delusional...... I won't say...... I don't say ...... if I die."
Yuan Yanzhi raised his head and sighed, if it weren't for this woman, he would have fallen asleep with his soft body in his arms tonight...... A thin voice suddenly came from behind, and before he could turn around, Chang'an on the other side had already stood up with a smile: "Master."
Yuan Yanzhi's back froze suddenly, and his hand clenched the thin chain tightly, and he was a little at a loss.
The reason why he didn't let Ah Li follow was because he didn't want her to see his cruel appearance, who would have thought that she would still follow...... The neck and shoulders suddenly hugged a pair of slender arms, probably because of walking at night, and with a little coolness, Yuan Yan subconsciously held it, wanting to dispel it.
A soft kiss fell from her ear, and Ah Li, who listened, said, "Are you tired?" Let's go back to sleep. I can't sleep without you. ”
This sentence really pleased him fiercely, and a smile was dyed on his face, but he still didn't forget his purpose: "I'll ask ...... first"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ah Li: "Don't ask yet, I'll find a way tomorrow, I can't hurt myself because of her, what should I do if I feel distressed?"
Ah Li's mouth is really sweet tonight.
Looking at the few funnels over there and Wenzi, whose spirit was gradually in a trance, Ah Li's eyes moved, she didn't speak, and pulled Yuan Yanzhi away without saying anything. Before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Chang'an: "Just don't let people run away, don't bother too much."
"Yes."
Yuan Yizhi dragged Ah Li to take a bath together, but when Ah Li was halfway through the bath, Ah Li had already fallen asleep, leaving him to smile helplessly, and endured the torment to take her out of the water step by step and take care of her back to the bed.
After tossing all night, I finally fell asleep with the person I was thinking about.
……
Ah Li played with the strange puppet in her hand under the gaze of Si An and Fu Baiman, and was silent for a long time. Fu Baiman couldn't help but speak first, and his voice was still a little hoarse: "You keep this thing...... What are you going to do? ”
Ah Li smiled and said, "This is something I accidentally found when I was looking for Fu Lu before, and then I put it in the cabinet and forgot about it." After a pause, she continued, "I thought of a good idea!" Seeing a few people with puzzled faces, she didn't explain, and said mysteriously: "You'll know tomorrow!"
“……”
So what did you find useful in such a long time? Several people glanced at her with disgust, and they dispersed, Ah Li pouted, hum, when the time comes, you will be surprised and kneel and call Dad!
The woman spent these days in the stone room, Chang'an poured some water from time to time to make her reluctantly, coupled with the stimulation of the white light around her, she was already dying, her brain was empty, as if she couldn't think of anything.
In a trance, there seemed to be a voice in my ears.
"Wake up...... Wake up......" The vision was blurred, and a small shadow came into view. She barely bothered to brace herself up, her throat moved, and it was a long time before she heard a thin voice: "Holy ...... Saint? ”
"Hmm. Don't be afraid, the rats are gone. I'll need to find the remaining Masked Men before I can get you out......"
It turned out that the saint had not forgotten her! The Holy Maiden wants to save her...... It turned out that it was because of herself that the saint did not find the masked man...... She's so stupid that she has to bother the saint to do it herself......
"They're ......"
When she thought that the saint was still thinking about herself, she felt a burst of satisfaction in her heart, as if her strength had returned.
What she didn't notice was that the little puppet disappeared as she looked down.
Stone outside.
Yuan Yanzhi slapped the sawdust in his hand expressionlessly. And Si An and Fu Baiman looked at Ah Li with strange expressions.
"I didn't expect it...... You've got this skill......"
Ah Li raised her head proudly: "Hmph! There's so much you didn't expect! ”
After the torture of the past few days, Na Wenzi was already in a trance, how could he recognize the voice of the so-called saint, remove the mouse, and easily fall for it by saying a few good words.
This is actually a few big funnels that Yuan Yanzhi found reminded her: In a state of extreme trance, what people say is the truest thing in the depths of their memory, so she calculated it and used the little puppet to easily set out the words.
"Get ready! It's going to be a tough battle! ”
There were a few owls flying by outside, and their calls were strange, making the night even more terrifying......
