Chapter 18: The Dungeon

We managed to enter the underground passage of the dungeon, but sadly, the entrance was crushed by a dozen tons or more of ruins, and it was a pure dream to return the same way.

However, I was not too worried, because before coming down from the entrance, I had reached out and tried it, and there was a slight fluctuation of air flow in the dark passage, indicating that this underground space was not completely enclosed, and there must be an exit that An An didn't know.

Speaking of An An, my old face couldn't help but turn red, and I shamelessly insulted her in the chaos caused by the ruins of the landslide. But I really didn't know it was her, I thought it was Yuan Meng who was pressing on me, this is definitely a "beautiful" misunderstanding.

But this is not easy to say, the so-called more and more depicted, the darker it becomes, this is the way to go. It's just as if it didn't happen, anyway, my skin is as thick as a city wall.

Yuan Meng had already turned on all the flashlights at this time and handed me one.

Not knowing when we would be able to get out of the dungeon, we had to conserve electricity and only turn on a flashlight.

The back road is blocked, and you can only move forward. The road to the dungeon is at your feet.

It is a dark tunnel made entirely of square bricks, reinforced with sturdy stone bars overhead, so there is no need to worry about collapse. In front of us, there is a downward winding staircase, which can be walked down one step at a time.

It may be that this place is relatively closed, there is no wind, and the 400-year-old dust seal is to leave a thin layer of dust on the stone steps, and we walk along the stone steps, slowly walking down the depths of the ground.

This downward underpass is very similar to the modern corridor, straight up and down a few meters, there will be a horizontal turn, and then straight down, such a structure, to minimize the possibility of collapse, and there are boulders on both sides to reinforce, not to mention hundreds of years, even after a thousand years, there is no trouble.

Stairs lead to the dungeon, where Elizabeth. Against the backdrop of the Countess Bathory's torture of thousands of people, anyone walking through this dark and eerie passage will feel creepy.

Originally, I was about to encounter something unusual in this evil place, but after walking for a while, it was obvious that I was overthinking, except for the air was a little stagnant and mildew, there was nothing unusual here.

If there is anything unusual here, it is the color of the dark passage we walked, whether it is the stone steps or the two walls, all black, neither the true color, nor as if it has been stained by smoke and fire, I don't know why, I always feel that this suspicious pitch black is like a very dry bloodstain, because this color is too absorbent, the German-made flashlight, the electric light has a range of tens of meters, but here five meters away, nothing can be seen clearly.

I couldn't resist my curiosity, I reached out and touched the wall next to me, the wall was rough, but there was a very fine layer of dust on it, my heart moved, I damn, isn't this the evidence that blood is coagulated and oxidized into powder!

The astonishment, the real consternation, made my heart surge, and I thought to myself, how many people's blood must be needed to dye this place this strange color!

Thinking to myself, I was already completely creepy, and finally realized how bloody and terrifying the legendary "Bloody Countess" was.

When I told what I found, Yuan Meng and An An were also shocked, and went to the wall next to them to touch them twice, and then the two of them chatted puzzled.

"Doesn't the Bloody Countess smell bad when she gets so much blood here?" Yuan Meng said.

"Maybe her fetish is very different!" An An replied.

I'll go! What are the two sisters talking about? I can't help but slap my head! The two beauties didn't understand the point of the matter at all, so I let out a long sigh and decided to ignore them.

When we go down to the sixth turning point of the dark path, the dark path finally comes to an end, or rather, the dark path becomes suddenly clear.

At the end of the stone steps, there is a wide passage where two cars can walk side by side, and the oval arc above the head is three meters above the ground, which makes people feel oppressive at all. But standing here, I don't know what makes people feel unusually eerie, maybe it's a piercing wind, and the three of us feel the skin tighten for a while at the same time.

I shone my flashlight a few times, and the passage was not too long, and there seemed to be a dark iron gate at the end of it.

An An said that there was something wonderful for us to show right away. I asked what it was, An An smiled and said nothing, as if she had forgotten all about my recent indecent behavior, and I was a little stunned when I saw this, and I was embarrassed to open my mouth to ask again.

We walked along the wide passageway, which was so quiet that the footsteps of the three of us were so noisy that we breathed harshly with each other.

It didn't take long for huge cells to appear on the left and right sides of the passage, usually split in two by an iron fence with thick egg lines, forming two inner and outer cells.

The outside room is usually extremely messy, the remains of tables and chairs are everywhere, as if they have been trampled by a herd of bison, and the cells are mostly filled with all kinds of strange-shaped utensils, although Yuan Meng and I have never seen them, let alone know what they are for. But from their terrible shapes, we have already guessed that it is Elizabeth. Various instruments of torture used by Bathory to torture the maid.

An An pointed to the torture instrument in the first cell we saw and said, "You see, that is the 'cradle of Judah'. Countess Bathory is very fond of this game. ”

Since Yuan Meng and I had never heard of this thing, An An briefly explained the use of this terrible "cradle".

The "cradle of Judah" is one and a half meters high, and the top of an iron rod with a black body is an unusually sharp pyramid with a triangular iron cone, and the method used is very simple: the tortured maid is hung on a rope, and a sharp pyramid-shaped "chair" is placed underneath, and then the hanging maid is lowered downward, so that the sharp edge of the triangle iron is inserted into the anus of the tortured maid. Door or shade. Dao, sometimes put a weight on the tortured maid to add weight.

The tremendous pressure will make the tortured maid miserable and scream wildly! And Elizabeth. The Countess of Bathory would sit in a soft chair in the outer room and enjoy the "fun" game while sipping wine.

The whole process of cruel torture will be very long, because the injured part is not easy to kill, the consciousness of the poor maid will be unusually clear, usually they will die because of the iron chair piercing, and when they breathe, the miserable howl will stop!

After listening to An An, Yuan Meng's cold sweat and I came down.

I don't need to say it, as for Yuan Meng, although there was a lot of torture in the Tang Dynasty, she had never seen the torture tools with her own eyes, where was there such an intuitive stimulation now.

An An glanced at Yuan Meng and me, smiled lightly and said, "There are more 'exciting' things ahead!" ”

After walking less than ten steps, sure enough, this time on the right-hand side, a cell appeared.

I saw two thick iron chains hanging from the top of the dungeon, and a saw, which was shocking in terms of length and size, was still in the innermost part of the dungeon. Due to severe corrosion, the black saw has been dilapidated.

An An said, "This is sawing!" ”

Yuan Mengzhi and I have heard of this slightly.

An An pointed to the huge iron chain in the cell and said, "The maid will be held in chains and hung upside down so that most of the blood will rush to the head." This is the most important thing in the whole abuse process! Because the blood in the head could be given enough oxygen, the terrible consequence of this was that before the hacksaw cut the maid's navel, they were still awake and would not die of too rapid blood loss. The time can last for a few hours. Sometimes people are completely cut in half, while most people are cut only to the abdomen to prolong their death. ”

After listening to An An, Yuan Meng and I rushed to a burst of inexplicable nausea at the same time, we didn't expect that people could be cruel to such a point, such perverted torture and killing is inhumane to the most heinous criminals, let alone innocent maids. And what's even more perverted is that all this is just to satisfy the leisure entertainment of a noble lady.

While Yuan Meng and I breathed a long sigh of relief, we couldn't help but be angry!

A short distance forward, a larger cell appeared on the left side of the side, the door was open. The three of us walked in very well together.

There were no big torture instruments here, and there were some gadgets scattered on the ground. But their use is much more perverted.

I randomly picked up a 30-centimeter piece of iron, which consisted of four metal blades, which slowly opened when I turned the screw at the top.

An An told me, "This thing is called a torture pear, and the executioner stuffs the torture instrument into the body or anus of the tortured maid. door, carry out torture. However, such torture instruments rarely cause death, and are often used in conjunction with other forms of abuse. Take this thing, for example," she said, bending down to pick up an iron hook from the ground.

The thing resembled a large clamp with two long metal tines on top and bottom. "Normally, at the time of execution, the executioner will heat the torture instrument. The four 'claws' on the torture instrument will slowly tear the tortured maid's chamber off, making it painful. Hence this iron frame is called milk. Pliers. An An added nonchalantly.

Milk. When the forceps are applied, the torture device is locked in the breast of the victim. On the room, sometimes blood would splash on the countess who were watching from the sidelines. If the woman does not die, she will be treated more "kindly".

An An pointed to a small thing that Yuan Meng found and said to me, "If the poor maid is still alive, the next thing may be the knee separator!" ”

The torture instrument in front of Yuan Meng was two wooden planks connected by two huge screws, with nails on them. There were six spikes on the planks, and the instruments were still a pair, for I found another identical one in front of an iron chair covered with barbs of steel.

Now I don't need An An to say, I already know how these two torture instruments are used together.

In the torment of pears and milk. The maid who survived the torture of the tongs would be chained to a barbed iron chair, made to stretch her legs, and then put a knee separator over her knees. The executioner began to tighten the nails continuously, slowly crushing the knees of the tortured girl.

The helpless maid naturally struggled violently during the torture, and the barbs of the iron chair under her would mercilessly pierce the skin of her back and buttocks......

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, a chill arose, I threw aside the torture pear in my hand, and said to An An and Yuan Meng, "Let's go, I don't want to look at these things anymore." ”

An An said indifferently, "Is this leaving?" There are also brain-splitting devices, punishment shoes, broken wheels, cat's claws, cult sharp forks, and other fun things that I haven't seen! ”

"No need!" I said coldly, and at the same time a little annoyed by An An's indifference.

Yuan Meng looked at her as if thoughtful.

Indifferent An An looked at us who were already suspicious, and suddenly smiled strangely.
