Chapter 6: Bloodshed
There were a few heavy metal grinding sounds, and an iron door covered with rust was slowly opened.
"You follow me, follow closely!" The leader yelled at the child behind him.
It was the end of winter, Ye Yu squinted his eyes, stretched out his hand to cover the gentle sunshine, and looked up at the sky. In the boundless sky, an eagle is spreading its wings and flying high. Intentionally or unintentionally, Ye Yu pulled his thin shirt and followed into the passage.
The passage behind the iron gate, like the corridor of the tomb, was dark and cold. Walking inside, everything is vague except for the "clicking" footsteps of the children. The walls that can be reached all around give people an unusually oppressive feeling. Mixed with the fear of the unknown, Ye Yu could clearly feel the trembling of many figures in front of him.
Silently following behind, if Ye Yu is not bad as expected, this passage is the entrance to the field of life and death. According to the books, this long and dark passageway, known as the 'Road of Life and Death' in ancient times, was used by slaves participating in gladiatorial battles. All the slaves who participated in the gladiatorial fight had to pass through it, and just like the Yellow Springs Road of Hell (the Earth of the Great Yan Dynasty has a theory of hell, but there is no heaven), the vast majority of slaves reached the end of the passage, but never came out again.
"Follow closer, faster!" The leader's cold roar suddenly sounded in the corridor. The sound waves are infinitely amplified and extended by the reflection of the smooth walls around them, and the disgusting echo lingers in the corridor for a long time.
There is not only one passage in the corridor, at the dark fork in the road, there are two passages, which lead to both sides, the same pitch black and deep, I don't know where it leads.
Finally, there was a glimmer of light ahead. The children were forced to quicken their pace, and when they got closer, they saw two blazing torches, one on the left and one on the right, and in front of them was a large heavy stone door.
"Knock knock!" The leader slammed into a circular bulge in the center of the stone door. After a while, only to hear the sound of "boom", the stone gate rose towards the lu, and it turned out to be a stone gate equipped with brackets. Ye Yu stared at the stone gate, everything looked so primitive.
"Fuck, it's useless!" "Get up for Lao Tzu!" "People in the shadows are shit!" With the opening of the stone door, a noisy curse came instantly. Suddenly, as if the sky had collapsed, a torrent-like shout instantly hit Ye Yu's eardrums.
"It seems that the sound insulation of this stone door is really good!" Ye Yu shook his head, it was the first time he had heard so many people cheering.
"Oh, brother, I didn't scold you just now! You know, I've put most of my money on your dark squad! A strong man in half soft armor hurriedly came over and apologized.
"Understood!" The leader smiled awkwardly.
"Looks like you're about to play!" The man said with a bitter face.
"This thing, there are wins and losses, don't worry too much!" The leader patted the strong man on the shoulder and smiled bitterly and comforted.
Ye Yu glanced around, and saw that the surrounding space was very large, and there was a wide stone gate in front of him. On both sides are openwork stone fences. The light shines through the stone fence and the stone chamber is very bright, and the people in the stone chamber can clearly see everything that happens in the field of life and death through the stone fence. The huge shouts of the audience outside the venue also reached the ears of everyone present through the stone fence.
In front of the stone fence, many strong men in soft armor were nervously looking at the field, and some of them were smiling happily. Some people have gloomy faces and curse a few words from time to time.
The leader and the strong man seemed to be talking speculatively. The children couldn't resist their curiosity and began to wander around.
"Hey, bastard! Don't move that thing! ”
"Hey, hey, hey, you see there are two little girls in this team! Although he has lost a little weight, he still looks smart! A strong man laughed lewdly.
"Black boy, come here, don't block the master's view!" "Grandma's, I've bought you and won! I'll fight hard when I play, if I lose! I won't collect your corpses! ”
When the black boy heard this, he hurriedly moved inward from the side of the fence.
Ye Yu frowned and set his eyes on the life and death field. Suddenly, there was a "bump", and a figure instantly hit the stone railing.
"Help!" A teenager stretched his arms inward desperately, a look of horror on his face. Suddenly, a figure flashed in an instant. The cold light flashed in his hand, and a clear sound of a dagger cutting through the trachea came. A ray of blood instantly appeared on the young man's neck, and a stream of warm blood spurted out instantly. ,
Like a fountain, the pillar of blood that flew out under air pressure passed through the stone fence and splashed onto the black boy's shirt, and a girl who was closer to him was also sprayed.
"Ahh This sudden scene completely shook the nerves of the children. The black boy was so frightened that he peed his pants and collapsed to the ground on the spot. And the other children were so frightened that their legs trembled. The two girls were so frightened that they hugged their heads and cried.
The leader couldn't help but frown as he watched this scene. Once these children are selected, they are not trained in any way. Only after they have experienced the life and death scene will they be eligible to officially join the organization. And this bloody scene is the process they have to go through. They have to overcome it on their own, overcome their fears, overcome their cowardice, and bring out their own blood. This is also one of the ways of the organization to select talents, a person who is afraid of blood and death, even if he is talented and strong, he is only a weakling. Obviously, he was not satisfied with the performance of these children.
Ye Yu looked at this scene coldly, although he had been tested several times, but looking at the scene in front of him, his heart still stirred up a lot of waves. The creepy voice still echoes in the eardrums. Gradually, when the wave subsided, a bloodthirsty desire suddenly rose in his heart. Looking at the gradually dimming eyes of the young man with his throat cut, looking at the evil smile on the face of the young man with his throat cut. The bloodthirsty desire in Ye Yu's heart became more and more intense.
"What's wrong with me!" Ye Yu pounded his head vigorously. Between morality and reason, his former character and concepts are being brutally tempered.
Looking at Ye Yu, who was holding his head and looking in pain, the leader almost fainted. That was his last hope!
"That kid is so ruthless!" "Is that the 'Smiling Tiger'? Even though it's just a little kid, it's really kind! "Alas, I knew that I would have won the film department? My 100 gold coins! The group of strong men were talking about the scene just now.
Suddenly, the leading strong man shouted, "It's over!" Brothers, it's time to work! With a "squeak", the heavy stone gate was slowly pulled up.
