Pain!

An indescribable pain in the lower abdomen!

It seems that something is forcibly being stripped away, and it seems that something is quietly passing, even if time stands still at this moment, it cannot be retained......

No, it doesn't seem to be a pain in the abdomen, it's pain all over the body, through the skin, piercing the flesh, hitting the bone marrow, even if you just want to move in your mind, the pain will increase dozens of times, or even a hundred times, and now you can't even move your fingers in the slightest......

This kind of pain seems to be unforgettable one moment ago, but the next second it is completely replaced by another terrifying emotion, what is the fear of something, can even ignore the pain that the body can not bear!

It must be something precious, something more valuable than life......

Soon, however, another voice that couldn't hear her emotions was trying to correct her intention to protect that thing with her own life—

Only if you live, he can hope to live!

He...... Who is he?

The already vague scene in front of me gradually became more foggy......

Qi Xu raised his hand and tried to wave away the heavy fog in front of him, but he felt that the white mist seemed to give birth to spiritual intelligence, and turned into a giant beast that could not see the head and tail, and rushed towards her with a chilling momentum......

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

With a rapid cough, she woke up from her coma, only to find herself in what appeared to be a basement-like place, and in the dim light of the center, she could see that there were dark windows on the walls, but there was no difference in the light on either side of the window.

As she looked around, she realized that she was in a position similar to that of a hall, as there was a staircase extending upwards on one side of the wall, and on the side of the staircase there were two rooms with doors.

Whether it's the staircase, the door, or the hall, there is a smell of decay, and it is clear that this place has been abandoned for a long time.

Her clothes had also been visibly changed, and although they looked a little faded, they were at least intact and clean.

Before she could think about the previous fall into the water, one of the doors was opened from the inside with a "creak".

"Are you awake?"

Out of the room came a young woman in a jacket, who looked a few years older than her, and her tone and demeanor were casual.

"Hello, what is this place?"

She could sense that the woman had no obvious ill will towards her, but as if she was not surprised, she just glanced at her lightly and took the basin of water and prepared to go around the stairs to the other side...... It should be a washroom.

The young woman spoke Ning Chinese, so she could only roughly understand, so she asked rhetorically in Ning Chinese, which she was not very proficient in.

"Here...... the young woman glanced casually at the top of the stairs, "This is the 'Eighteen Layers of Hell' on Earth!"

Although there was no fear in the woman's tone, Qi Xu couldn't help but get goosebumps in her ears.

She naturally doesn't believe this statement of the woman, which doesn't make sense, if it is really an "eighteen layers of hell", how can it be so quiet now, and there are no "props" in hell around.

After the woman entered the bathroom, a young man came out of the next room, who seemed to be in his thirties, but the stubble on his face and the obviously poor demeanor made him look even in his forties, and his sweater looked like he had been wearing for years, faded, and the neckline had been off.

"New here?"

The man's voice was a little hoarse, sounding like he hadn't drunk water for a long time.

Just in case the man was not ready to answer her question like the young woman just now, Qi Xu looked at him first, and then said.

"Are you residents here?"

In the definition of Ning Chinese, "household" and "tenant" and "owner" are actually universal, and only represent different meanings when applied to different scenarios.

So after hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Hahaha...... Girl, you have it too

Meaning, this is not a residential building, and it is not the tenants who are locked up here, but the ...... Prisoner!"

The man's second opening made it clear to Qi Xu that he was already speaking Nanguo Chinese with the accent of Nanguo Kyoto, and he had obviously heard that she was not from Ningguo, but from Nanguo.

It's just that the "prisoner" made her frown once, and it seemed to be the same as the "eighteen layers of hell" that the young woman said before.

"No fuss, but what did you do to get in?"

As he spoke, the man's eyes inadvertently revealed an inquiring gaze.

Convict?

Qi Xu's heart moved slightly, of course she didn't commit the kind of "thing" in a man's mouth, but in order not to make herself look too abrupt in front of a man, she casually said a reason.

"Since you can hear that I am from the Southland, I must have heard of many people like me who came to Ningguo for one reason or another, but in fact, I don't know how I was recognized, one fell into the lake without paying attention, and then woke up and appeared here......

"It turns out that the water is not very good......

The man touched his chin as if to ponder the truth of her words.

"I'm not very good at ......."

Period Xu hung his head slightly, hiding a trace of imperceptible speculation under his eyes.

Before Shen Huan taught her about the new criminal's submission to the old criminal, the old prisoner would involuntarily give birth to a sense of superiority, and then lose his original judgment and confide in more information that showed his superiority, isn't it the characteristics revealed by this man's current demeanor......

"Come on, for the sake of us all from the South, I won't hide it from you, the person I obey is a figure with a face in the South, and in that position it is naturally inevitable to fight over interests, there must always be some people who help do some secret and vital things in a place that everyone can't see, as for what it is, it's inconvenient to tell you, in short, it's a glorious and valuable thing for our side, but it is extremely resistant to the eyes of the opponent, the best situation is that we retire successfully, and our luck is not very good, Just like those of us who have been caught in the so-called handle, but can't be convicted exactly, will be locked up in this hellish place, of course...... There's worse, you know......

This "worse situation" naturally refers to being caught, convicted on the spot, and even having a hard time speaking, and not even having the opportunity to leave a last word.

Qi Xu pretended to be sensible and nodded, looking at him intently.

"And what is this place, is it really ...... Hell?"

She kept an eye on the young woman's movements, realized that the woman had washed up and was ready to come out, so she continued with the woman's answer.

The man also noticed the young woman coming out of the bathroom and smiled knowingly.

"Looks like she told you...... It's not really hell, but it's pretty much ......."

He sighed and continued.

"We are now in a seven-story basement, three of the upper six floors are used for the same purpose as our seven floors, one is a psychedelic layer used to isolate and prevent us from escaping, one is a factory floor that disguises an underground workshop, and the top underground floor is empty, used to confuse the people searching above to mistakenly think that this is a deserted place, there are no less than dozens of underground buildings like this in Ningguo, which are distributed in different places in Ningguo, and now we have two rooms left on the seventh floor in addition to me and Sister Ling, you can pick one by yourself for a while, If there are a lot of people, I'm afraid you'll have to share a room with three or two people!"

Listening to the man's words, Qi Xu felt that eighty percent was true, but the amount of information here was a bit large, the seven-story underground building, and so many were built, even if each person was full, then a basement building would be closed for sixteen people, just like the man said, there are not a few people who are actually locked up, and these people are not obvious criminals, listening to the man's tone, it seems to be more like ...... Spy?

"Ah Lou, what to do with her so much, if she is the same as the short-lived ghost in front, you will say it in vain!"

The woman known as "Sister Suzu" muttered at Ah Lou and turned back to her room.

"Don't mind, Sister Ling is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, she is actually quite easy to get along with......

Ah Lou smiled and watched Sister Ling go back to her room, her eyes always followed, and she didn't retract her gaze until she was completely out of sight.

Period Xu involuntarily raised his eyebrows, and quickly replaced it with a thick worry and timidity. Z.br>

"Hearing you say that, this place must be terrifying, haven't you ever thought about escaping......

She looked obviously frightened by Sister Ling's "short-lived ghost" just now.

"Run? Impossible!" Ah Lou shook his head with some sarcasm on his face and said, "I told you, the third basement floor is a psychedelic layer? This means that no one can cross the third floor completely consciously, and those above don't want to break in, and those below don't want to escape!"

Psychedelic?

In order to reassure Ah Lou that she had been completely distracted by his words, she continued to feign surprise and gasp, but in order to make Ah Lou feel that she was not the kind of useless wastewood, she pursed her lips tentatively.

"Before I came to Ningguo, I had heard that there were some perverted methods of interrogating criminals abroad, some of them seemed to be designed to confuse people's minds, and some of them had a mental breakdown and became vegetative before the trial was completed......

"Harm,That's a more direct means.,It's not new at all.,It's much more perverted than that.,Let's just say the psychedelic layer above us.,Although I haven't tried to challenge.,But I've had a tough mind before.,It's said that as soon as you open the door to the third basement floor, you'll be disturbed by the sound that people's hearing can't detect.,The better ones can continue to move forward against the noise.,The weak mind will fall into a fantasy halfway.,But just standing up to the noise is not over.,And then there will be a strange taste., It is said that some people can't resist these illusions and bite their tongues on the spot to kill themselves......

Hearing this, Qi Xu shuddered cooperatively.

"And the man who was still mentally strong at the beginning, although he withstood the stimulation of various illusions, suddenly retreated and turned back when he was still a few steps away from the door to the second basement floor, do you know why?"
