Chapter Thirty-Eight: Weird
No matter what kind of mood Lin Xiu and the others had, the group of people had been escorted by the guards for a long time, and everywhere they passed along the way, someone looked at them, and then continued to do other things without expression, and the expressions were more like a group of puppets that had lost their vitality, making this legendary city look more like a dead city.
"Hehe..."A child passed through the middle of the road with laughter, as if he wanted to run to the other side of the street to play, but the place where he passed was exactly in front of the pair of guards escorting Lin Xiu and his party, four or five-year-old children, even if they ran fast, in the eyes of adults, they just looked a little staggering, with the neat pace of the guards, almost the moment they were about to collide, the guards walking in front did not hesitate to reach out and wave their knives, "Huh", "Ah" Tifa exclaimed, covering his mouth with his hand, I couldn't believe the scene that happened in front of me, the guard who walked in front, the moment before colliding with the child, drew his knife and shook it, cleanly, without the slightest hesitation, such a sharp steel knife, of course, accompanied by a piece of raised blood, the child's body was divided into two, and not even a cry was made, and this group of soldiers, like a chicken and a dog, continued to march forward with what they thought was a very rhythmic pace.
Tifa couldn't help but want to rush out, beat the guard to the ground, and asked him if he was so cold-blooded that he was like an animal, but the moment his body wanted to rush forward, his hand was pulled, Tifa's eyes were already foggy with some anger, and he almost gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu knew that he would be angry if he stopped Tifa, but now they had to go to see the high priest, in this game controlled by the apostles, they had too many bodies to help themselves.
"I promise, no matter what kind of mission we accept, I'll help you slaughter him with your own hands, and bear with me a little longer." Lin Xiu said in a consultative tone in Tifa's ear, in a voice that the two of them could hear, the words naturally carried the meaning of pleading, Tifa sniffed and tugged her hand, Lin Xiu seemed to be afraid that she was still not calm, and still held on to it and refused to let go, until Tifa shook her head gently, Lin Xiu let go of her hand with a little relief.
"Don't be distracted, I know you have more things to think about, it's me who is too impulsive." After Tifa withdrew his hand, he also replied to Lin Xiu softly, she knew that Lin Xiu's nature was pure and good, although he was not a rigid kind of saint, but within the scope of his ability, he would still try his best to help, otherwise Ma Lian and her were the best examples, everything was nothing more than the helplessness caused by this game, which made people more numb, and they were just like Xu Ningning said, just struggling to survive, seeing Lin Xiu's almost pleading tone, where would Tifa not understand, His position in his heart, he himself shoulders the points of two people, and in this kind of game of death at any time, any wrong judgment may lead to the loss of the lives of these people around him, although Tifa will still feel sad and depressed for that child, but after a little thought, he can also distinguish what is the priority.
The child's father has been standing on the side of the street watching the scene just happened, when his child was split in two by a knife, he couldn't help crying, covered his mouth with his hands, his eyes were full of helplessness and despair, but, that's all, in the face of the guards, he finally chose to bow his head and be silent, after they walked by, Tan Xiaofan and several other women, couldn't help but look back, the father silently walked to the middle of the street, and merged the body of the child who was divided into two partsThen he knelt on the ground, prayed with strange gestures with his hands, wept silently, and did not even utter a curse to the guards from beginning to end.
"What a fucking shit." Li Jun clenched his fists in a depressed manner, and scolded angrily in a low voice, anyway, the language is not comprehensible, and there is no need to worry too much about how the other party will punish him, and just these miscellaneous soldiers, although the bullets are ineffective, but Li Jun believes that with his foundation in the army, three or five people can still be easily handled, and Lin Xiu may not be able to make a move at that time, but considering the necessity of the task, the bedridden old lady in the family, this kind of man's blood, can only be suppressed in the bottom of his heart.
"It really makes me feel like I want to go to hell when I die, living in such a legendary angel city, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will rebel." Wei Dongxu also vented his indignation, after all, seeing such a scene, no matter who is calm, they can't afford to make any waves, they can face all kinds of death in those escapes, that is because they can't do it, and this child himself is a character in this plot, and for them, there is no need to kill at all.
No matter what kind of emotions they have in their hearts, the scenery along the way is constantly changing, this street does not need to go around and around, straight to the innermost, Lin Xiu When they entered Atlantis, it was still dawn in the morning, and now it is indeed three poles of the sun, it can be seen that this distance is not close, as they advance, the scenery on both sides of the road is also changing, from the first slum-like houses, the more they go inside, the more magnificent they are, Although it is not as developed as the later generations or the world they experienced, the carving and decoration that contains the dignity of ancient Western times have slowly been revealed.
The innermost is a cylindrical palace dozens of meters high, with a red carpet on the high stone steps, and there are two teams of guards on both sides of it, and at the top, there are two women wearing Rosa's skirts, one holding a flower in her hand, looking at it from a distance, motionless, it looks more like a sculpture, but the undulating chest can still accurately distinguish that they are still alive.
The two sides of the palace are connected to the north and south, winding and undulating, looking from the front, on the left side is like a palace coiled on the top of the mountain, the whole body is white, but there is a giant python lying on it, even if you look at it here, you can clearly distinguish, the eyes of the giant python, carved vividly, seem to be looking at it from any angle, are being watched by it, and on the right side, is a huge cylindrical gladiatorial arena, made of earthy yellow bricks and stones, spiraling, at the top is like a broken bowl, not neat, but it looks even more staggered, and the reason why it can be determined that it is a gladiatorial arena is because even in the early morning, you can hear noisy shouts and boiling cheers, although you can't understand what those people are saying, but in terms of the excitement of the tone, they should be very excited.
A few hundred meters in front of the palace, the marching procession stopped, and the leading guard seemed to be negotiating something with the people guarding in front, and then Lin Xiu and the others noticed that they originally thought it was just two guards standing there, but when they got closer, they found that under their feet, there was a staircase leading to the ground, with a depth of almost 100 meters, looking from above, it was even more eerie and terrifying, anyone who could think at a glance that this was an ancient dungeon.
It didn't matter to Lin Xiu that they waited too much, the guards in front had already finished negotiating, and as soon as the guards in front waved, the team behind them began to march, Yan Xiangwei, who was walking in the rear, was pushed by the guard, and he was really depressed in his heart, he was alive and well, and suddenly told himself that he was dead, and finally struggled with the first two plots, and when he got here, he even had to go into the dungeon, although he was not a first-class citizen in his previous life, but he was also an office worker, and there was no such thing as being a traitor. How can he go to prison after he dies, it is quite uncomfortable to think about, but the guards around him pushed him, he didn't dare to resist, seeing the tragic situation of the child in front of him, he already understood that in this ancient empire, even if the other party pulled out a knife and killed him, no one would stand up and claim justice, so the only thing he could do was to speed up his pace and keep up with the team, and meet the high priest early, so as to end this weird and cruel apostle game.
The scene inside the dungeon is almost as simple as you think about it, under the swaying light of the torches, there is even more of a piercing gloom, coupled with the occasional screams and blood-stained walls, giving this scene a bit more terrifying, the only surviving Meng Shutian, couldn't help but shudder, leaning his body against Zhang Yafeng beside him, this kind of scene, if it weren't for a woman like Xu Ningning who has experienced or has a resolute temperament like Tifa, it is difficult not to feel afraid, Zhang Yafeng put his arm around Meng Shutian next to him, which was a comfort.
As the dungeon deepened, slowly, all kinds of punishments and instruments have appeared on the wall, occasionally see the people in the cell, are draped in heavy iron chains, see Lin Xiu and their group, just raised their heads and looked, there was no begging for mercy or screaming, just numb looking, and then put their heads on the ground, like walking corpses, there are also people tied to the wooden frame, accompanied by the whipping, occasionally screaming one or two, and then maybe it was futile to think that the words of cursing or anything did not shout, If this situation only happens occasionally, it may be understandable, but the scene inside the entire dungeon, the scene on the street outside, is connected, it makes it difficult for people to feel normal, it seems that this Atlantis royal capital feels a kind of depression, a kind of numbness, more like a dead city.
Lin Xiu's eyes flashed in the cell, the fences are all wooden, and now the strength has been completely restored, this kind of fence and shackles, he can easily pull them open, and there are not many guards guarding the dungeon, if you just want to break out of the dungeon from here, with the strength of their current group, it is not too difficult, in the middle of the dungeon, there is a passage that is very substandard, but unfortunately Lin Xiu did not have the opportunity to see what was inside that passage, because the guards in front had already signaled to them, The cell has arrived.
