From time to time, a cool wind blew in the empty dungeon, and the closer you got to the place where the Fire City Lord Salamander was located, the more obvious the chill became. In fact, everyone felt this unusual magnetic field, but they were afraid of being regarded as a hallucination caused by timidity and did not want to say it.

Except for a part of the cavalry regiment soldiers who were left on the platform outside the entrance of the dungeon to be treated, the rest of the people all arrived at the square in front of the palace. Under Ouyang Xiaoleng's order, everyone got down from the sand camel beast one after another and observed everything around them.

The white light illuminated the entire square and the Red Palace, which seemed to be the source of the chill they had just felt. As long as you stand in this square for a while, your body and mind will be occupied by all kinds of emotions, pain, fear, sadness, inexplicable feelings of grievance, resentment...... These negative emotions are tangled together to form a huge vortex, constantly pulling everyone in the royal army standing here, trying to lead them to the abyss from which they will never recover.

"I really don't like this place!" Ling Yu hugged his shoulders and said.

He had long felt that this was no longer the dungeon he was familiar with, although it used to be full of drunken gold and bright lights, but at the same time, those also made the small city that existed underground like a fire, and now it was as cold as a tomb.

"Me too!" For the first time, the thousand riders did not recklessly, but did not hide the fear that came from their hearts.

Ouyang Hongye sent a team of warriors to check the situation around the Chi Yu Palace, and it was learned that all the entrances to the entire palace had been sealed and could not be opened. They had to stay in the square for the time being to find other ways to enter the palace, but apparently none of them liked to stay here longer, even for a moment.

Because the longer I stay here, the chill around my body becomes more and more intense, and I can even see the white haze exhaling from my mouth. There were some translucent shadows faintly emerging in the breath, at first they had only vague outlines, but gradually they became clearer. It can be seen that there are men and women, old and young, with their hands handcuffed and their ankles held together by iron cables.

Ling Yu soon saw a few familiar figures among these people, and immediately shouted in shock: "They are all residents of the dungeon!" ”

"What happened to them? Are they undead, or are they just our hallucinations? Mochizuki responded, and then when his gaze swept over the crowd, he suddenly spotted a familiar figure. Wasn't the goat demon old sheep with horns on his head and a mustache on his chin who had lived in a hotel room with him, and he couldn't help but run over and call him, "Old sheep! ”

The old sheep's face was sallow, his eyes were dull, and his body was scarred, obviously suffering great pain and suffering. His mind was already in a trance, and he slowly came back to his senses in Mochizuki's shout, slowly raised his head and looked at him with those hollow eyes like a dry well, and let out a slight cry for help from his throat.

"It's you, Brother Sycamore, save me, save me......" His voice sounded so painful, in stark contrast to his expressionless face.

"Old sheep, tell me what's wrong?" Mochizuki asked, taking his arm by the arm.

The strange thing is that the shadow that seemed vague just now has a sense of reality and even temperature, and the moment he comes into contact with the old sheep, with the old sheep as the center, the sense of reality expands outward, and the whole square seems to suddenly have vitality.

The others felt the same way as Mochizuki, and Lingyu began to look for his companions in Elysium in the crowd, and in the distance he saw the proprietress of Elysium, Sturgeon, and several girls being handcuffed together. Although the sturgeon girl is old and a little obese, she has always paid attention to dressing up on weekdays, and in his impression, she has always worn dresses with extremely elaborate styles and materials, heavy makeup and meticulous combing of her hair, but now her hair is messy and half-covered on her face, and her dress is dirty and tattered.

The girls were not much better, disheveled, like flowers that had been destroyed by a storm, and had lost their charm and vitality. When they saw Lingyu, it was like seeing a savior, and their eyes lit up, and at the same time, they stretched out their tightly cuffed hands in his direction.

"Lingyu, save us!" The girls shouted in unison.

"What the hell is going on?" Lingyu asked as she tried to break the handcuffs for them.

"The lord of the city, the salamander, was instructed by the mysterious man who lived in the hotel in the east of the city to trick the whole city into this square, and then he captured us all. They are going to execute all of us in batches, saying that they will slaughter the city, and not a single one of them will be left! My sturgeon girl has been running a style shop in the dungeon for so long, and she has lived to this age, but I didn't expect it to end up like this. The sturgeon girl choked up and responded.

"Where's the cold anger?" Lingyu asked her.

"Coldly hated her...... I don't know who accused her of helping you hide a key criminal, and she has been ......" At the mention of cold anger, the sturgeon girl cried even more sadly. In fact, she treated her very ordinarily before her death, but now she thinks that she is about to follow in her footsteps, so she is sad.

"How so! Could it be that the salamander is crazy? Such a cruel thing as slaughtering the city can be done! Ling Yu roared angrily and hatefully.

At this moment, the bell suddenly rang in the square, and a wail followed.

"It's going to start again, it's going to start again!" Everyone was repeating this sentence over and over again.

Before Ling Yu could understand what was about to start, he saw a team of demons under the salamander come over pushing a cart. On board the car were all kinds of torture instruments, including long whips, guillotines, and clubs...... The torture instruments were all wet, and they looked like they had just been washed.

"We will be dragged out one by one, and they will be killed by the torture instrument of their choice." A girl who had just released the handcuffs and chains on her feet with the help of Lingyu said to him.

"Don't be afraid that there is an army from me and Wang Cheng, and they will never let them touch a single hair of you!" Lingyu comforted the sturgeon and the girls around her.

"Where is the army of the royal city? Why didn't we see them! The sturgeon asked with suspicion in her eyes.

"Isn't it right there...... Ling Yu turned around and pointed, but found that Ouyang Xiaoleng and the others were not seen behind him except for the other city residents who were locked, and he suddenly shouted strangely, "No, they obviously came with me, and they were still there just now." ”

He pondered in his mind the possibility that they would suddenly disappear, could it be that they had left themselves behind? Or maybe they've already entered the Red Palace? But in any case, this is only a blink of an eye. Could it be that everything in front of him was an illusion? But seeing the eager faces of the inhabitants to be rescued, he had to believe that they were real, and that he could let them escape the catastrophe in front of him.

Mochizuki also encountered the same situation as Lingyu, he had just used the Moon Shadow Knife to help Lao Yang break the chains and handcuffs, and he was told by Lao Yang that the dungeon city lord was carrying out a terrifying plan to slaughter the city with Qingyun. He wanted to report all this to Ouyang Hongye and Ouyang Xiaoleng immediately, so that he could discuss countermeasures with them, but who knew that he couldn't even find a companion. He firmly believed that it was impossible for Ouyang Hongye to abandon him, so he wondered even more why this was happening.

The little demons had already appeared in the square with carts full of torture instruments, and he had no choice but to take them all down first. After all, a few little demons were not his opponents for Mochizuki, and as soon as the Moon Shadow Knife came out, he killed them in three strokes and five divided by two.

Then he began to work with Lao Yang to untie the inhabitants of the city one by one, and prepared to arrange for them to escape outside the dungeon, after all, there were still wounded cavalry soldiers stationed on the platform at the exit, and they could also protect the unarmed inhabitants for a while.

He instructed the residents to line up and leave the square in order and watched them walk away, and then prepared to look around to find out where Ouyang Hongye and they were. As the inhabitants slowly dispersed, the empty square fell into a deathly silence again, and the cold chill slowly became obvious again, and he couldn't help but shiver.

And after this shiver, the world before him returned to the scene he had seen before he saw the old sheep. Standing beside him was still Ouyang Hongye, and with a strange look on his face, Mochizuki guessed that the expression on his face at this moment must be similar to his.

"Where did you go just now?" Mochizuki grumbled with some displeasure.

"I want to ask you! As soon as you turn around, you're all gone! Then I saw that the square was actually the inhabitants of the dungeon, and according to them, they were tricked here by the city lord Salamander, in order to kill them all! Ouyang Hongye shook his head and said.

"Slaughter the city, that's what they said, and say it's all the devil who lives in the East Side Hotel, that is, Qingyun's order." Lingyu also joined in.

"I single-handedly killed the demons pushing carts full of torture equipment, and then let all the inhabitants of the city go." Qianqi recounted his experience with a blank face.

"What about Xia Qiu and Xiao Leng?" Ouyang Hongye suddenly reacted, only the two of them hadn't spoken yet.

"What you see is the same as what I saw, I met Qingqing, do you still remember Qingqing in Huaichun Pavilion? She was the one who told us about the Seongdong Hotel, and she later helped us when we were being chased by Qingyun's men. Xia Qiu was already stunned by the words of the others, and only came back to his senses when he heard Ouyang Hongye call him.

"I also see the green ......"

As soon as Ouyang Xiaoleng's words came out, he felt that he was sucked into the extremely cold whirlpool again, and the square in front of him was full of dungeon residents who had been captured by salamanders, they were still handcuffed and their feet were chained. One by one, their faces were filled with fear, waiting for the death that was about to befall their heads, as if they had replayed the scene they had just seen.

He thought to himself that these people had just been let go by himself, and why had they all been arrested so quickly, so he asked, "Why did you come back again?" ”

The resident closest to him replied: "We have been pressed here for many days, and we have watched others be executed one after another, and no one has come to save us." ”

"yes!" The other chimed in.

"Help us!" The others followed and began to call for help from him.

Ouyang Xiaoleng didn't understand what was going on, he had never encountered such a situation. If so, why do hallucinations repeat themselves over and over again? If it's not a hallucination, why does it appear out of thin air? And when it appeared, his companions were gone.

Whatever it is. Are they going to rescue these inhabitants again and again? Or see them killed by the goblins and see what happens after that? He felt himself gradually lost, and so did Xia and Qiu.
