Chapter XXXVIII

I didn't understand what was going on until I was chained by the mountain monkeys. At first, I didn't believe that it was a reality that I had fallen into the clutches of the devil. I even feel like I'm dreaming.

The mountain monkey walked so fast that I couldn't keep up for a moment and fell to the ground. Ignoring them, they continued to walk deeper into the cavern, chains clutched so tightly that I was dragging them almost on the ground. I barely stood up and followed their footsteps, and if I walked slowly, the rope would be strangled around my neck, and I would have difficulty breathing.

The cave went deeper and deeper, dark and gloomy, and it was impossible to know where it leads. Just now, Zhong Xiu said that when they catch prisoners, they will torture them with various punishments. My heart has been sinking, usually I feel like I have an injection, and if the leather whip and shackles and high heels are all up, how much sin I will have to suffer. Looking into the depths of the Hessian cavern, my heart twitched hard.

Just then, walk to the end of the cave. It was supposed to be a grotto chamber, with a boxy sink in the middle of the ground, on which many thick iron chains hung from it. The mountain monkeys slowly surrounded me, and I took a few steps backwards, and I had reached the cave wall, and there was no way to retreat. A huge mountain monkey came up to me and suddenly bared its teeth at me. Its pale face, its eyes were bloodshot, and its sharp teeth were exposed, which frightened me and made my hands and feet weak.

The mountain monkey grabbed my clothes and tore them down with a "hiss". My clothes and pants were quickly stripped and striped bare. I covered my lower body, hunched my body, and surrounded by mountain monkeys standing like watching an exhibition, and I really felt endless shame.

The mountain monkeys pushed me to the edge of the trough, and I didn't know where to pull the mechanism, and the chains "creaked" down. They chained my hands to chains, and with a sharp pull, I was lifted up in a crucifixion posture in the air.

The mountain monkey in control of the mechanism let go of his hand suddenly, and I fell straight out of the air, falling into the trough. In an instant, the cold water invaded my whole body, and I instantly got goosebumps. The water was too cold, estimated to be close to freezing, and every inch of skin on the body was bitten by the ice water. My face turned pale from the cold, my lips felt purple, and my whole body began to slowly lose consciousness.

The mountain monkeys gathered around the sink and watched, chattering to each other in a language I had never heard before. Looking at their eyes, it seemed that I was still unsatisfied, I was so cold that I was almost unconscious, and suddenly I had a chilling feeling, what else do they want to do?

After a short time, my eyes became more and more blurry, and I could no longer feel the cold, only numbness and sleepiness. Now I just want to get a good night's sleep, it seems that I have a kind of illusion, I am not trapped in the cold water, but in the warm bathtub, tired after a day, I come home from work to take a hot shower, lie in the bathtub, very comfortable.

Just when I was about to fall asleep in a daze, the figure in front of me shook, and I slammed into a slur, I couldn't sleep! As soon as consciousness returned, the cold around the body suddenly enveloped again.

It was difficult to open his eyes and see the mountain monkeys busy in and out of the cave.

They brought a lot of firewood and set up a pile on the ground. Then a large pot was set up on top of the firewood, and it was filled with a pot of water. The firewood burned, and the heat wafted through the cave and blew in my face, making me even more uncomfortable. The exposed head felt warm, and the body soaked in the water was still suffering from the cold.

Seeing them so busy, I suddenly thought of a possibility, and I was terrified. They're not meant to be boiled in a hot pan with me, are they? I remember that the Japanese had a live experiment like this, where they first froze people in a low temperature below zero for a few hours, and then they were almost popsicles and then they were put out and soaked in hot water. The stimulation of one cold and one hot, even the iron plate can't stand it. The subjects were all rotten in their flesh and skin, their limbs fell off, and they wailed for a long time before they died.

The more I thought about it, the cooler my heart became, and I made up my mind that if the mountain monkeys really tortured me for a while, I would have to find a way to kill myself. Don't take it as a joke, this was my most urgent thought at the time, anyway, I don't want to die in pain.

Just as I was thinking, the "crunch" chain sounded, and I was pulled out of the water again, hanging naked in the air. The water on his body was dripping down. The mountain monkey manipulated the chains, and I moved sideways through the air, slowly reaching the top of the cauldron. The hot water in the pot boiled, spewing out hot steam.

The heat and the cold on my body were unspeakably uncomfortable, and I struggled desperately in the air, earning the chains to ring. Looking at the boiling water below, my whole spirit collapsed. Don't look at the usual rhetoric about life and death, but if you really have to be in the moment of life and death, that kind of feeling is really indescribable.

The mountain monkey slowly spun the chain, and my position became lower and lower, and the heat was billowing under my feet.

When half a meter was about to enter the pot, suddenly there was a chaotic sound of footsteps outside the cave. I couldn't see anything because my back was to the entrance of the cave, but I heard footsteps approaching, and I had entered the grotto.

The mountain monkeys chirped, and I hung in the air and swayed gently.

At this time, I heard that among the mountain monkeys, someone actually said: "Your name is Liu Yang?" ”

I was already confused, and I barely let out a "hmm". At this moment, the chain "creaked" and I was lowered from the air.

I fell to the ground, and the ground was cold and cold, but it was much better than that tank of cold water. I slowly opened my eyes and saw a man standing in the midst of a group of mountain monkeys.

This man doesn't look like a human, and if he were the only one who appeared, I would never treat him as a person. But mixed with a group of even less human-like mountain monkeys, his human-like index increased dramatically.

He was unclothed, naked, and as white as a mountain monkey. This whiteness is extremely sickly, as if all the blood has been drained raw, and it presents a miserable white. There was not a single spot of variegated spots around his body, he was completely white, with a white face, white hair, white hands and feet, and even his eyes were white, and he could not see jet-black eyeballs. Especially the long white hair, shawl down, like the white-haired girl in the play.

This white hair is certainly terrifying, but with this person, it sets off an unusual temperament, just like a master of the world who retreats and cultivates in the novel.

He pointed at me with his long pointed nails and asked in some jerky Chinese, "Your name is Liu Yang?" ”

I nodded in horror.

"Did it scare you?" He smiled slightly: "I won't bite you." I'm asking you a question, and you have to answer it honestly. ”

He spoke not quickly, slowly, but there was a coercion in his voice, as cold as a huge stone. I've been completely depressed by the steam hot pot in the cold water sink, and I don't dare to shake any cleverness, so I can answer whatever people ask.

He said, "Do you know Li Yang? ”

I didn't expect him to ask this question. My eyes widened, and the horror in my heart was indescribable. A monster living in the mountains of Xing'an Mountains actually knows Li Yang, what the hell is going on?

I didn't hesitate, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

The man's expression was a little sad: "I saw him in a dream. "He chirped a few times at the mountain monkeys, who came up to me, wiped me with rags, and threw me clothes.

The man turned and walked out of the cave and disappeared into the darkness.

I put on my clothes, my body was still cold, and my spirit was very weak. Escorted by mountain monkeys, he came to the depths of a cave, and there was a wooden cover on the ground that had been cut into a whole trunk of bent wood, in the shape of a nine-square grid, and through this cover, there was a dark and deep staircase below, and I don't know where it leads.

Two mountain monkeys lifted the wooden lid and pushed me down. I took a few steps down the stairs suspiciously, only to hear a crunch and the wooden lid slammed shut over my head. I walked back and saw three or four mountain monkeys standing guard outside, and when they saw me approaching the wooden cover, they all bared their teeth in anger. I had to scratch my scalp and go down the dark staircase.

It's very empty, and occasionally you can hear drops of water dripping softly out of nowhere, making bursts of echoes.

I cautiously descended to the end of the stairs and saw a hole the size of a basketball court. There are several wires in the cave, many dim light bulbs are lit, and an old-fashioned gramophone is playing an out-of-tune tune. The turntable and turntable are also too old, and the sound effect is very poor, basically similar to noise. But if you listen closely, the tune is a bit like a Japanese folk tune that Chung Xiu once hummed.

On a stone chair sat the long-haired man with snow-white body. Seeing me coming, he slowly walked over from his chair.

I looked at him a little scared and couldn't help but take a step back. He stopped, stood not far away, seemed to perceive my emotions, and was very understanding and did not come.

"I won't hurt you." He said.

"Who the hell are you?" I asked.

The long-haired man said, "I am the only one in our clan who still retains a high level of intelligence. ”

I was stunned: "You mean mountain monkeys?" ”

"You call us mountain monkeys?" The man realized: "It's really more appropriate, we are monkeys in the mountains." There was a hint of pathos in his voice.

Changfa said: "You just call me Liu Xiaojun, this is my name very early." ”

"And who are you?" I asked.

Liu Xiaojun paced back and forth, walked twice, and said, "We are survivors of the Japanese live experiment. ”

"Huh?" Although I had vaguely guessed this conclusion, I was still very surprised to hear him say it now.

Liu Xiaojun said: "When the Japanese were defeated and evacuated, they killed all the prisoners in the base. I watched as they drove the bones of our compatriots in trucks into tunnels outside the mountain, paving the way with the corpses. ”

I could hold my breath, he was right, I had seen visions in that tunnel.

"And how did you survive?" I asked.

Liu Xiaojun looked sad: "Escape from prison." At that time, more than 100 brothers and sisters were contacted, but the escape failed, more than half of them died, and only about 20 escaped. The reason why these two dozen people were able to escape from the birth was because they had just been tested by the Japanese and became immortal. ”
