Chapter 33: Past Grievances

Lu Xiong pounced regardless of it, but as everyone knows, now Chen Ran's strength is much higher than him. Although both of them were imprisoned by the Stygian Iron Chain, Chen Ran still had the advantage, not to mention that Lu Xiong had been devastated in the Abyss Prison for many days, and his body was covered with scars.

Chen Ran raised his hand to punch it, but because he was restrained all over his body, his movements looked like a robot, which looked weird. Lu Xiong is the same, neither of them can move flexibly, so they collide with each other. Fist to fist, Lu Xiong was shocked back a few steps.

"I'm going to kill you!" Lu Xiong pounced, Chen Ran shook his head secretly, those prison guards had just stopped him, but now they didn't care at all, it seemed that they were deliberately letting the people in the Tianzi cell fight each other.

There was no way, Chen Ran and Lu Xiong started a hand-to-hand fight. Although Lu Xiong was knocked down again and again, he would always get back up and attack like crazy, regardless of the pain.

Chen Ran was also punched a few times, and what he didn't expect was that in addition to moving his hands and feet, Lu Xiong finally moved his mouth and directly tore it with his teeth.

Chen Ran couldn't stand it anymore, and the last blow knocked him unconscious. At this time, Chen Ran himself was already out of breath, he sat down, and finally had time to look around.

There were stone beds and chairs in the cells, but that was all. There was no fluorite lighting inside the cell, so it was a little dark, but the outside was very bright. In this underground, there is no distinction between day and night, and if you don't deliberately calculate the time, I'm afraid you don't know how long the time has passed.

Chen Ran came outside, and from his own area, he could see the women's area next door. The female prisoners were smuggled and fed the poultry. Looking into the distance, you can see the men's prison area in the distance, where people are working. In addition to farming, some people are still striking iron, woodcarving, and it seems that they are doing all kinds of work.

The only thing that the women's and men's wards have in common is that they are guarded by guards. And in the area where Chen Ran was, except for two watchers at the door, there were no prison guards to interfere with them.

Outside of the three areas, there are a number of stone houses standing side by side, where the prison guards live.

After a while, smoke rose from the women's prison area, as if they were cooking. After a while, several female prisoners came out of a special stone house with food, which was presumably the kitchen.

The prison guards opened the iron door, and the female prisoners went to the place where the guards lived, presumably to deliver food. After the delivery, the female prisoner began to deliver food to the area where Chen Ran was located. The guards opened the iron door for them to enter, and the food was delivered to every cell with prisoners, and they left after the food was placed, and whether to eat or not was your own business.

Chen Ran looked at Lu Xiong, who was still asleep in his cell, and then looked at the food, there was meat, vegetables and soup, which was a little worse than what the prison guards ate, but it was rich enough.

He didn't eat it immediately, but continued to look around. The female prisoners sent food to the men's quarter, and from a distance, it was certainly worse than their own. And as soon as they put the food at the door and left, the male prisoners frantically looted it, and the prison guards did not stop them.

"It's a big difference. Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh.

"yes. A voice suddenly came from behind, and Chen Ran turned around sharply to find that it was the thin old man.

"Old man, how long have you been locked up here?" Chen Ran couldn't help but ask.

The old man stroked the goat's white beard and said, "Ten years, or twenty years, I can't remember ......."

Chen Ran sighed, but it was rare for someone to speak, so he hurriedly asked: "Then you must know a lot of things about the Abyss Prison, right?"

The old man replied, "As you can see, the Abyss Prison is just that, and all I know is actually superficial. There are three divisions, namely the Tianzi area, the earth area and the herringbone area. In the Tianzi area, we are imprisoned by a few Tianzi prisoners, the female prisoners in the Dizi area, and the male prisoners in the human area, these are ordinary people. But unlike us, we were tried and put in the Abyss Prison, and those people were not judged. ”

Chen Ran was shocked: "There are so many people in the Dizi District and the Renzi District, are they all innocent?"

The old man shook his head and said, "Not exactly. There are many people who have been sentenced to death, and people outside think they are dead, but in fact these people are secretly sent to the Abyss Prison. These people are all locked up in the herringbone area. There are also some people in the entire Dizi and Herringbone districts, who are orphans without fathers and mothers, or some slaves who have no freedom, and they are considered to have been forcibly captured. ”

"This ......" Chen Ran didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

The old man smiled: "You must have a lot of questions in your heart, don't worry, it's already here anyway, don't think about going out, there is time to understand slowly." By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Chenran, what about you?"

"My name is Yu Wei, and the one who has been digging is Meng Ran, who used to be the guard of the City Lord's Mansion, and I don't know what happened, and then I was locked up here. It's been four or five years, and it was quite normal at first, but now you can see that he is in a trance all day long, hungry and eats something, and when he has nothing to do, he digs there and doesn't pay attention to anyone when he talks to him. The Lu Xiong who came a few days ago seems to have had a holiday with you. I advise you to give up your grudges quickly, and live here together in the future, if you fight all day long and make the prison guards unhappy, you will be the unlucky ones in the end. ”

After Yu Wei finished speaking, he was about to go back to his cell for dinner, and Chen Ran hurriedly stopped him: "Mr. Yu, it is said outside that the Abyss Prison is a terrifying place, but looking at the current situation, it seems that it is not as mysterious as it is said outside. ”

"Huh. Yu Wei couldn't help laughing twice: "A few of us didn't suffer anything, but if you look at the prisoners in the Dizi area and the herringbone area, they work day and night, and they can only rest when they are tired, and they continue to work after resting." And in the abyss prison, the most terrifying thing is not death, but loneliness. There are a lot of people who can't stand this kind of life, and end up going crazy, and then ......"

"And then what's wrong?" Chen Ran hurriedly asked.

Yu Wei glanced at the dark and deep passage behind him, and said softly: "You see that passage, it's calm now, but it won't be long before a sound comes out, it will be creepy to hear at first, but it's good to get used to it." And some disobedient prisoners, and crazy people, will be taken into that passage, and I don't know what happened in the end, but they never came out, so they must be dead. Also, it's not like we people in the Tianzi District don't have to do nothing, and it won't be long before you understand. ”

Chen Ran watched Yu Wei return to the cell, then glanced at Meng Ran, who was still digging, and called out curiously.

Meng Ran really didn't answer, and Chen Ran had no choice but to go back to his cell stupidly.

While eating food, Lu Xiong woke up, and he immediately wanted to fight again.

Chen Ran said angrily: "Are you enough? You have been bullying me from beginning to end, and you want to kill me, where have I offended you?"

Lu Xiong suddenly quieted down, his eyes blurred, as if he was reminiscing.

"I'm not reconciled, why are you always close to someone, and I'm always alienated!" Lu Xiong suddenly roared.

Chen Ran's fragmentary memories also seemed to begin to reassemble and become clear.

Two young men in tattered clothes begged from passers-by together, a little fat and a little thin. They didn't beg for much, they were beaten more often.

"Don't you have long eyes, hurry up and get out of the way, the smell of your body will be disgusting, and it will affect Lao Tzu's mood!"

After a punch and kick, the little fat man always protected the little thin man, and he was beaten to the point that his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and he did not let the little thin man suffer a little injury.

Although the two lived poorly, they relied on each other and were happy.

However, by chance, a noble family took a fancy to the little thin man and decided to adopt him.

The two had a disagreement for the first time, and the little fat man was reluctant, but the little thin man didn't want to miss the opportunity to change the environment. In fact, no one is right or wrong, you can't ask the little thin man to continue to live a poor life, and you can't blame the little fat man for his reluctance.

The little fat man pulled the little thin man hard, not wanting him to leave, and was finally beaten and driven away by the guards of the noble family.

The two lived different lives, it seemed that the little thin man had turned over, but in fact he didn't have a good time in the aristocratic family, others just regarded him as a slave, and the aristocratic young master often bullied him. But compared to begging every day, at least he can eat and sleep well in the aristocratic house, and he doesn't have to eat and sleep in the open, so the little thin man is willing to endure unfair treatment.

As for the little fat man, he would often come to visit the nobleman's house, and he would be severely beaten every time, but he was relieved to see that the little thin man was safe.

But in the experience of being beaten again and again, the little fat man's heart gradually changed, until he saw the scene of the little thin man being bullied by the noble young master, which made his heart completely distorted.

At night, he sneaked into the nobleman's house, drugged the kitchen, fascinated the nobleman's family down the mountain, and then killed the noble young master and old lady in the coma. And this scene happened to be seen in the eyes of the little thin man who had not eaten and was naturally not in a coma.

The little fat man wants to take the little thin man and leave, but the little thin man is unwilling to be in the company of a murderer. At this time, the little fat man's jealous and twisted mind rebelled. Originally, he was paranoid and wanted to protect the little thin man, but at this moment, he was paranoid and wanted to kill him!

The Thin Man fled for his life, while the Fat Man kept chasing, and coincidentally, they were discovered by a member of the Assassin League and taken to the City of Eternal Night for training......

The little thin man is Chen Ran, and the little fat man is Lu Xiong. During training, Lu Xiong found an opportunity to poison Chen Ran. He wants to cut off the past, seeing Chen Ran, it will always make him think of the poor and painful time in the past, he doesn't want to be beaten again, so he kills Chen Ran, only he can bully others, and others can no longer bully him.

In the Tianzi area of the Abyss Prison, the two were in memory, and Lu Xiong suddenly roared angrily: "I'm going to kill you!"
