In the dead of night, Layla and Reno arrive at the secret planting site as agreed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rino covered the bandaged wound on his head and said sadly, "Layla, you must have seen that it wasn't the Moon Elf Guards who caused all of this. ”

"Yes. Layla's brows were gloomy, "Otherwise, how could it be as simple as destroying a potato." ”

"Then you must have guessed the truth. ”

Layla bit her lip uneasily and shook her head gently, "Don't say it." ”

However, Reno still told the story that Karan, who could not bear the chronic hunger, had already betrayed her, and she took advantage of Reno's unpreparedness, lifted a stone and injured her, and then dug up the crop and reported the stealing of potatoes to the regent.

It was also the same as giving the light, the light of hope for others, and at the price of which she could leave here with a full stomach. ”

Rino clenched his fists and said resentfully, "Kahlan said that she overheard our conversation yesterday and knew that this bit of food couldn't really keep everyone alive, so she came up with the idea of betraying everyone." Obviously, Leila has taken the biggest risk for everyone, and she has never kept an extra potato for herself, and she has selflessly and justly tried her best to save everyone's lives. But in the face of despair, is human nature still so fragile after all?"

"But......" Layla smiled tiredly, "Kahlan only dug up one potato, and didn't uproot the rest, and she took the plant to denounce the Moon Elf, and didn't bring the Moon Elf to this side herself." ”

Saying that, Layla was a little relieved: "This means that although Kahlan chose to leave, he couldn't bear to completely take away the light of hope that belonged to everyone, but just took away the share that could fill his stomach." ”

Rino was stunned, blinked, and said with a smile: "It's really worthy of Layla, when this kind of thing happens, you can still see the remnants of light in human nature, it's really a defeat to you." But we lost a third of our plants, and the days that followed were even harder. ”

Layla gently smoothed the torn linen skirt, clenched her fists and cheered up: "What was taken away was only the plant, not the land, so the little potato I saved today and didn't eat can be used as a seed." I will cultivate it carefully, and by this time tomorrow, you will see new shoots break through the ground. ”

Reno said with admiration and pity, "Everyone is worried about not having enough to eat tomorrow, but Layla doesn't even pity today's rations, it's really my honor to make such a kind friend as you." ”

Reno took out the cherished potato in his arms, winked and smiled cheerfully, and said, "Take it, put the two potatoes together, there will be more nutrients for growth, right?"

Layla nodded in surprise, "Thank you, Reno!"

Reno scratched his head shyly, turned his face and muttered, "Yes, you don't need to do this, do you?" Hey, I just want to be a good person like you!"

Layla smiled crisply, "Hehe, Reno is the best good person, and he doesn't have to learn from me at all!"

Although the girls in the lower prison were hit hard, everyone worked together and believed, and the yield of potatoes increased a lot compared to before. The share of potato chunks the size of a finger per person per day has also tripled. They have gone through the most difficult years, and Layla believes that they have crossed the line between the present and the land of the dead, and stayed on the side of the survivors.

But Layla only solves the problem of food, and in Hell, food is only the least of them.

As time passed, the other low-level prisons were almost completely empty, and only Layla and her group were left among the girls who were brought in the same batch, and more than ninety percent of the other girls lost their lives here forever because they killed each other, and the few remaining were able to rise to the second, third, or even higher levels.

The lower cell was able to see the movement of the upper floors, and Layla and her friends watched how the guys on the upper floors deceived each other, calculated, and used her lives as their own ladder to climb up. Their credo is that "there can only be one survivor in the end, and the ultimate survivor will be enthroned as a god."

Soon even the second floor fell silent, and the third layer didn't last long. The most wicked of the people ascended to a higher place, and the victims who were trampled under their feet could no longer make any movement. And the girls on the fourth and fifth floors, after breaking through the threshold of falling into madness, and completely cutting and crushing the barrier of "guilt" in their hearts, actually felt refreshed, and even gained all kinds of abilities-

Some girls can drive the undead and drive others around them crazy.

Some girls can change their voice and smile at will, obviously their appearance has not changed, but they can make others have a strong illusion that "she is another person", so as to disturb other people's minds and charm.

Some girls have gained strong physical strength, and they no longer need food, and can directly survive by stealing the life force of others.

Their ability battles will also affect Layla and them at the bottom.

The first is that there are many small holes in the rock wall out of thin air, and these small holes are bottomless, as if there are eyes peeping in at the end. And at a certain point every day, the small hole will drip out of the thick black viscous oily liquid, these black oil drip on the ground, it will grow a small colored mushroom, the pattern on the surface of the small mushroom looks extremely ominous, like a hideous and twisted face, exuding a terrible resentment, everyone must sleep to avoid these liquids, find a way to plug the small hole that appears for no reason.

Absolutely no one wants to know what happens when they are touched by these liquids.

When the small hole tosses everyone into a weak breath, a hallucinogenic mist hits right after. Everyone tried desperately to cover their mouths and noses, and even so, their skin was still hallucinated when they were stained with these mists. In the mist, the girls who had died in the cells on the ground floor came to life again, so vivid and real, that they could freely pass through the iron railings and sing and dance on the platform of the Bauhinia Mine.

This is the illusion that Layla sees, and it is roughly a beautiful vision, but others see it but it may not be the same.

Reno danced desperately with the stone in his hand: "Don't come here! I won't be polite to you if I get closer!"

Reno roared into the air and scratched the stones, and her friends around her couldn't stop her. Then she said, "I see, just split you in half, and there will be two of you." Divide you again, and it will split into four you, each of which is the same size as the original you...... Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier, and don't you have to be so embarrassed if you say no sooner?"

Layla desperately hugged her friend from behind: "Reno, don't lose to the illusion! It's all unreal! Close your eyes and don't look at it, don't think about it, and soon they'll disappear!"

Reno sat on the ground, his panic lingering for a long time, before he realized that Layla had regained her composure in her arms.

When no one is around, Layla asks Reno what kind of hallucination is happening in front of your eyes.

Reno looked away uneasily, "I saw the Moon Elf guard who destroyed the potato, and he stabbed me with a spear. ”

The girls, who were tormented by all kinds of mutations, did not have enough physical strength to collect condensate and moss, and the crops failed again. Reno led everyone to work hard to complete the work, but at this time, misfortune happened again.

When Layla found Reno again, Reno fainted again with bruises like last time, and her two companions disappeared again.

Layla nervously asked, "Reno, what the hell is going on?"

Reno covered his aching head and said in horror, "Oil ...... Don't touch the oil!"

Layla's heart jerked, "You mean ......"

"They were dripping with black oil, and immediately they became aggressive devils, and not only knocked me unconscious, but a second before I fainted, I saw them both fall off a cliff and die. ”

Since the ground floor is almost deserted, and the iron windows no longer have to be locked, Layla and her friends have a lot more room to move. The Moon Elf guards rarely come to this underground again. The cliff that Reno is talking about is the cliff where a blind girl falls, and there is no food on the other side of the cliff, and the regent does not seem to plan to have the first trial to select the devil at the bottom.

Hearing Reno's words, Layla was convinced and instructed everyone: "Quick, hide in the cell!" Emily and Bunney, go and see the potatoes, don't let the potatoes get dropped by black oil!"

The girls gritted their teeth and obeyed the order and quickly hid in their cells. All you need to do is plug the small dark hole in the cell to be unharmed, while outside the cell there is a sticky black rain.

After the black rain, the ground was covered with mushrooms of resentment, and in the mist of illusions, there were countless slender figures moving slowly on the mushroom ground, they only had black shadows, their wide open eyes and mouths were pale, and they were wandering towards Layla and her companions.

Layla was so scared that she didn't even have time to wipe away her tears, she just couldn't stop praying.

Come down to save us, children of hell, O merciful and loving God of Light!

We have not lost hope, but we are only breathing!

We are still sinless, but we have long been wrapped in darkness!

After the black rain, I didn't expect the poor potatoes to win another bumper harvest.

This should be the most joyful thing, but for some reason, Layla is in a trance and her mind is very shaken, and she is the only one who can't smile at it.

The potatoes were already one per day, and Reno handed her the one from Layla.

Layla asked uneasily, "Why...... We're coming back again?"

Rino took a full bite nonchalantly, "It shows that Layla's prayer has worked, and the God of Light has not given up on us." ”

"Is that really the case?" Layla looked at the potatoes with a blank look in her eyes, unable to put them in her mouth for some kind of instinct, "but here...... All I could see was the endless cruelty of the dark gods. ”
