Chapter 42 Feed
Two muffled footsteps descend the stairs, scruffy men clutching candles in their hands, illuminating the dimly lit space.
“...... Fifty thousand. ”
"This time there is so much oil and water?"
"It is said that the buyer is a very big man, and he named the little girl...... That little girl is so beautiful, the boss of the child is drooling when she sees it. It's a pity that you can't touch it. Someone will come and take it away at dawn tomorrow......"
"This time, it was the ghost mother who took people on a personal trip, and it is said that she suffered a big loss, and even those monsters died. ”
"Shhhhh ”
"What are you afraid of, except for those monsters here, there is only fodder left. Can anyone eavesdrop?"
"Have you forgotten what the last person who was talking behind his back was made of? Don't tell me you want to fill that void. ”
The other man shuddered and stopped talking.
Ye Qingxuan listened silently, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief for some reason: Very good, she is still here, and she has not been sent away yet...... She's alive.
That's nice......
He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the footsteps slowly approaching.
-
"It's bad luck, let's feed those monsters. The dwarf holding the wind lamp cursed a few swear words.
"Who is to blame? It's not that you idiot got the lot? His companion kicked him: "The people who came to feed those monsters last time haven't eaten for days, and they're sick to death!"
"Hey, don't be angry. ”
The dwarf laughed, took out a palm-sized tin foil bag from his arms, and grabbed it heavily in his hand, making his companion's eyes light up: "Mandala, when did you get this?"
"The group of newcomers to Tianzhu who are filial piety and good goods are called 'Krishna'. It is said that it is made with condiments, and it is particularly strong. The dwarf laughed: "Those guys sent so many ...... at once Such a small packet is enough for the two of us to smoke for a year. ”
As if he was addicted, his companion with a scar on his face swallowed and spat: "Divide me a little." ”
"Nonsense, otherwise what else would I do with it?"
The dwarf carefully opened the tin foil bag, looked at the snow-white powder inside, and his hands trembled a little: "Cool down first, be strong." When that group of monsters comes out to eat feed, let's just pretend we didn't see it. ”
"Otherwise, feed that little bastard first. ”
Scar glanced at the young man who was hanging in the air behind the fence, and his eyes were regretful: "It's a pity, the eyebrows are beautiful, and it can be worth a lot of money to sell them as rabbits." ”
"I'm dying, do you want to say this? Wait......"
The dwarf glanced at the deep well behind the fence, and when he saw the boy above the deep well, his eyes lit up: "This little ghost has not been searched yet." ”
Hanging from the chains, the boy's body was silent, motionless as if dead. On his chest, a wallet with a large hole in it was exposed, green paper.
That's the color of the money order!
This is the balance payment given by the seller after the delivery is over, and the large-denomination bill of exchange issued by the Order is thickly stacked, at least forty or fifty thousand pounds!
"Where did this kid steal all this money?"
The dwarf swallowed and frothed, unable to take his eyes off.
"So much money, all money orders?" Scar was also stunned: "Am I crazy?"
"What are you waiting for. The dwarf kicked Scar: "After a while, those things will come out, not to mention the money, even the clothes will be eaten up." Take out the money first, and then talk about how it will be divided. ”
Scar was stunned for a moment, and quickly took a bunch of keys from the wall and opened the heavy iron fence. He grabbed the iron hook next to him and carefully stepped on the edge of the deep well, hooking it to the chain from which the boy was hung.
"Wait!" The dwarf suddenly snatched the iron hook: "You are hairy, what if you fall!
Scar glared at the dwarf angrily, this guy just didn't feel comfortable going to get the money himself. But the iron hook had already been snatched away, and he cursed something in a low voice, and took two steps back, leaving him to tinker.
"Be careful. He snorted coldly: "Don't fall into the well and use it as feed." ”
The dwarf laughed, the iron hook hooked the chain, pulled the hanging boy over, and reached out to touch his chest......;
Before he could finish speaking, a hand was placed on his wrist, and he froze for a moment, looked to the side, and found that Scar was still outside the fence, and then froze.
So whose hand does it belong to?
At that moment, he saw the boy who was supposed to be dead raise his head, his stunned face reflected in the dark pupils. The darkness was like a whirlpool.
The whirlpool was filled with resolute darkness.
Then, a sudden force pulled him into the fence, leaving him before he could react. The young man snatched the hook and, with the force of his pull, dragged the chain out of the fence.
In the midst of the screams, Scar suddenly turned his head, only to see the boy flying towards him, and the iron hook that was constantly expanding.
Boom!
The screaming hook smashed into Scar's skull, causing him to fall to his knees. In the sudden pain, he felt the chain wrap around his neck, and he pressed down and tightened.
It was only then that the door on the iron fence that had been knocked open slowly closed, and then slammed shut under the impetus of the teenager.
Ye Qingxuan gasped, stomping on the struggling scar under his feet, and the iron chain in his hand slowly tightened. The extremely short chain had barely come around and was at its end, and the scar was attached to the fence, almost shoving his head in.
"Help, help!"
In the deep well, the dwarf clung to the edge and struggled to climb up, but something tugged at him and dragged him down.
"Shut up!"
Ye Qingxuan aimed an iron hook at his finger that was holding on the edge of the well, so the dwarf's face turned pale instantly.
He tugged at Scar's chains with all his might, holding the burly man down, and no matter how much he struggled and tore himself, he would never let go.
He gritted his teeth, slowly retracted his strength, and looked up and asked the dwarf:
"Where is this?"
The elf's lips trembled, unable to speak. Ye Qingxuan's pupils were cold, and the iron hook slammed on one of his fingers, causing him to almost fall into the well, screaming in shock.
"Say, where is this?!"
"I said, I said! This is an abandoned well at the bottom of the Avalon sewers. The ghost mother found this place and used it as a ranch...... The invisible ghost is kept here and will not be discovered. ”
The dwarf screamed and replied, "Pull me up, pull me up, the time is almost up!"
"Ghost mother?" Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment: "The woman who raised demons in the legend?"
"That's right, it's her! it's her...... She has runes to control those monsters, and those monsters listen to him!" The dwarf was about to cry, "Please, pull me up!"
"Why do you want to catch Bai Xi?" Ye Qingxuan asked coldly.
"I heard that an Oriental man had paid a large sum of money to arrest her...... The shaman refused to help, so the ghost mother robbed the job. I said, really, I said everything I knew!"
The dwarf cried, "Pull me along...... They, they ......"
The sound of boiling water drowned out his screams.
In the deep well, the original foul-smelling stagnant water rolled strangely, like countless piranhas smelling blood and making a crazy commotion.
The boiling stagnant water was rising, and in the sewage, a dozen vague shapes of something emerged. They looked like melted humanoids, climbing upwards as the water level rose.
In the deepest part of the well, the sound of the tide was heard.
The tide is rising......
That is the 'invisible ghost' that Bai Xi once said, one of the thousands of heirs raised by the natural disaster 'Mother Darkness'.
Many people think that they are dead souls, but they are just living monsters that feed on blood for a living, and their appearance will change into that of a blood provider. Sometimes they hide in the cemetery, eat the corpses, and after leaving the tomb, they are worshiped as the spirits of the dead...... Or devour the discoverer before that happens.
Some people fear their demon-like powers, but in church books, they have the terrifying ability to become 'fogged'.
When they are frantic or angry, their bodies will spread into a thick fog, and the living creatures shrouded in the smoke will feel the fear of dying, and in their madness, they will become food.
Such a monster that uses humans as food is actually being raised?
Soon, in the boiling sewage, a tumbling white stung his eyes.
It was shattered pale bones, and perhaps half a skull, and the broken bones were tumbling in the turbid current, like. But he finally understood how they raised these monsters.
"You take live people to feed them?" Ye Qingxuan looked up at the short man.
"All dead! all dead!!"
"Me too?"
Ye Qingxuan asked rhetorically, which made him stunned, his panicked expression was stunned, and then slowly became hideous: "Little bastard, let me go up......"
Ye Qingxuan looked at him coldly and was silent.
Under his clamps, the suffocating Scar finally stopped struggling, and his body went limp, falling into shock. He took two steps back, picked up the wind lantern on the ground, and prepared to leave.
The expression of the dwarf who had been cursing changed.
The turbidity current is slowly rising, and the invisible ghosts in the water are surging.
"Come on!"
He screamed towards the door, "That little ghost ran away!"
Ye Qingxuan's expression also changed, he held the iron hook, stared at the head of the short man, his hand was clenched and indulgent, but in the end, he still didn't make up his mind.
The roar of the dwarf drew footsteps in the distance, and a faint voice shouted, "What are you doing?
"They're coming out!" the dwarf pulled at his feet, almost crying, "Help me!"
Ye Qingxuan was silent, as if he hadn't heard anything.
He just looked around in silence, looking for things around him, and finally picked up the tin foil bag that had fallen to the ground, and twisted the white powder that peeked out of the corners.
Mandala, the famous forbidden medicine, is a powder extracted from the plants of Tianzhu. Originally used as an analgesic for the army, it was discovered during the war against Asgard that it was extremely addictive, and the psychedelic sensation caused by taking it made people immerse itself again and again, and it has been taboo ever since.
It's just that according to the feel, I'm afraid there is something added to it, right? Su Hexiang? Or white orange leaves?
No matter what you add, it looks like it's useless.
He sighed, and heard the heavy footsteps getting closer. The dwarf's expression became excited, and he stared at Ye Qingxuan resentfully, his voice becoming more and more high-pitched.
Ye Qingxuan stood at the bottom of the stairs, quietly listening to the footsteps behind the door, slowly approaching, slowly approaching...... Until finally, the door was pushed open.
The moment the sharp friction sounded, the teenager under the stairs burst out.
He rushed forward, galloping, stepping on the mossy staircase, rushing upwards!
In an instant, he walked from the light into the darkness, and before the man who pushed the door into the room could see the room clearly, a burning wind lamp smashed into his face!
Boom!
