I swished my hand back and looked at the black mist in front of me by the faint light of the candle!

"Hell ——!"

I screamed and scratched it with one paw!

There was another swish, and the claws almost scratched the wind, and nothing was scratched!

But! There's someone in front of me! Because my hand was caught!

"Whoa, whoop——!!"

I screamed and scratched with my other hand, but it didn't hit anyone until both of my hands were under control.

It's a terrible feeling, there is no one in front of you! It's a dark shadow! Did I really get caught by the Shadow?!

The next second, I was let go, and then I looked to the side very vigilantly.

After a long time, just when I thought it was all a hallucination, someone suddenly spoke to me.

"Where did the ring come from?"

The super low and deep voice is like a male voice coming from the abyss. It's both steady and low, in fact, it's very similar to Lethe's tone when he's angry.

So, obviously, I shrank back a few times in a bit of fear, leaning against the wooden fence gate.

"Are you...... Be...... Who is it? ”

No one answered me, and there was silence all around.

It wasn't until a long time later, when I thought again that the sounds I had just heard were hallucinations, and the voices reappeared.

"Where did the ring come from?"

It was an extremely low and cold voice, silent as if it hadn't spoken for hundreds of years, and a little hoarse.

But this time I heard clearly, the one who was grabbing my hand was looking at my ring? He's talking to me?

"What are you going to do!?"

I immediately grabbed my own hand and hid it behind me!

Of course I know this ring is a good baby! I also know that there are not necessarily no living people here! In case it is a prisoner of extreme sin who is super bad! What if you snatch my precious ring?!

No answer! Still no answer! It's like I'm really talking to the air!

After a while, I asked, "Yes...... Anyone? ”

In the empty damp dungeon, there is no way to see the appearance of a living person.

Also, my ears weren't bad anymore, I didn't hear anyone's breathing, or the sound of their hearts beating.

You know, in such an empty and cold place, my own heartbeat and breathing are so loud! If you don't have a heartbeat or breath, what is it if it's not a ghost?!

However, after a long time, there was another answer as usual.

"Hmm."

Living!!!

I started trying to talk to him and dissuade him from trying to steal my stuff.

"Are you alive? Do you want my ring? I bought it for a dollar at the fairy auction house, and broken things are worthless. ”

There was no reply, only a feeling that something moved, and then, I reached forward and gestured, and the candle shone a long, long shadow.

There are shadows! Let go of a heart...... However, I still haven't lifted my vigilance, after all, the guard just now said that they were sentenced to death for tens of thousands of years!

That's not a sin like stealing fruit! I wonder what the most terrible and terrible sin is! Kill without blinking?!

After a while, there was a response.

"Haha, I think back then, the treasure that several worlds wanted to break their heads has now fallen to such a point!"

Treasure? Providence? My ring?

Before I could react, the whole house rumbled for a while!

At this moment, I realized that the person sitting in front of me was holding iron chains thicker than my wrists, and it seemed that the iron chain that had just been put on my hand was the same chain......

But...... Why does the person with the iron chain in his hand move without making a sound at all?

The next night, I guess a night. Anyway, for a long, long time, no one spoke to me.

I had a candle flame and I could see a little bit clearly, but I didn't dare to go there.

With thick wrists and bent chains, it looks like this guy must be very powerful! What if I eat it?

So I stayed where I was all night, and to be honest, I felt more scared than when I saw Lethe! He's too dangerous!

"You're here...... How long has it been closed......? ”

Gap, and then reply.

“…… For a long time. ”

I've come to understand that this guy either hasn't spoken for a long, long time, or he's a slow creature with super slow reactions, like koala sloth spiders.

"You...... What mistakes were made? ”

“……”

"Are you an immortal or ...... Demon? ”

“……”

No one paid attention to me, and in the end, there was nothing at all.

Until the candle I had placed next to me suddenly flew up and landed in the man's hand with a click.

It was dark on my side, and then I saw the candle flame burning there, reflecting an old shadow.

I don't know where the beard has grown, it hangs down all the way, and even extends to the soles of the feet, and the hair is like this, and it is a hairy man who is alive.

And he had no clothes on his body, and I could see the upper half of his body clearly, and it was dirty and black, and I couldn't see his face clearly, and I couldn't find his face in his hair and beard.

And, at my distance, I didn't dare lean in to take a closer look.

After that, I heard the crackling of the candle flame and he seemed to raise a hand and put it on the candle flame.

It was too close, and when the candle burned upward, it burned his hand along the way, but it didn't seem to react at all, so the fire burned like this.

"Hey-" I cried weakly, "you're going to get hurt." ”

There was a sizzling sound, like roasting meat, and the candle might have burned his hand, but it hadn't been removed.

"Wen ...... Warm. ”

When he said this, he seemed to be emotional, but he seemed to have no emotion.

I moved to that side with a slight tremble, and then asked, "Big brother, you don't eat people, do you?" ”

There is no answer, so I think this person should not eat people.

Even if it's a death row inmate, it seems a bit silly.

I moved slowly, step by step, and finally felt that the soles of my feet didn't seem to step on the bones or anything, and I breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally I mustered up the courage to reach out, grab one of his fingers, and lift it up a little.

"That...... If you're cold, I don't mind if you sit with me...... But if you keep touching the candle, it will turn into barbecue. ”

Really, I already smell a mushy smell, with a little smell of burning fat, and this man's hands will definitely be edible after a little more roasting!

He didn't answer, he didn't move his hand, and he put it wherever he could.

Looks like this guy isn't dangerous, right?

My super strong brain has even started to make up for it, this person is actually not bad, is he? Otherwise, I would have come to eat me a long time ago!

Ahem - it's also possible that I don't have much ability, just like Lechuan said, I have his smell on me, and many animals don't actually come near me, isn't this the same?

"Sit...... Together? ”

He repeated my words, his voice still hoarse, and a little weird in tone.

Well, it should be because I haven't spoken for a long time.

I think this person should be a certain age, maybe in his sixties? But look at this gray beard and hair...... Some people believe it when they say they are 100 years old.

"yes, maybe it's a little warmer to sit together, this place is damp, and I'm pretty cold. However, the candle flame cannot be touched, and if you touch it, it will burn. ”

I tentatively looked down at the hand that wasn't moving at all.

It's dirty, no...... It's not dirty, it's black.

Black hands, but not badly shaped, looking strong, except that a little bit of it was bleeding.

No wonder it was chained with such thick chains, it used to be a very strong guy, I think, maybe like Hercules?

"Uh, you're burned." I frowned: "It's bleeding, do you want to deal with it?" ”

He still didn't answer, and it was as if I had been barabalaing at an air anyway.

To be honest, I may be idle, or I may be afraid, so I am looking for something to do.

I have already concluded in my heart that this guy is a fool, maybe he has been locked up for too long, he can't speak, and he doesn't know anyone, so ...... It's kind of pathetic.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that it is possible, no matter what mistake is made, it is a bit too cruel to lock people up to stupidity!

Unexpectedly, he answered my words.

"Hurt." The hand moved, clenched into a fist, and made a quack sound: "It makes me feel like I'm alive." ”
