Chapter 155: Self-Help (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
With a pop, Xu Shen suddenly let go.
But at the moment of releasing the mouth, there was a scimitar in his hand, which pierced the abdomen of the ruins.
The surface of the abdomen was full of pimples like a toad, although it was cut open, revealing the internal organs.
Xu Shen immediately reached out and grabbed it and pulled it out fiercely.
The ruin screamed and retreated into the cell, hiding in the darkness, looking in horror at the teenager outside the cell.
Then he saw the boy pick up his organs and devour them.
It looked so hungry that it couldn't tell who was in the cell for a while.
The anomaly here made the other ruins that had not been fed the cells look over, and those strange and playful words were also briefly silent for a moment.
For three to five seconds, only the sounds of chewing and swallowing could be heard.
"He's eating us?" There was a ruin that whispered, with suspicion.
The old man in the snow-white robe abused them, peeled their skin, took their marrow, and they did not feel fear, only anger and pain.
But the scene in front of them made them throb like seeing predators.
Food & Diners.
They used to be diners, but now they are food for teenagers?
Under the gaze of the ruins, Xu Shen wolfed up the internal organs on the ground and ate them clean, and then the young man picked up the scimitar, which was a net knife that peeled off his skin, and at this moment it became a weapon in his hand.
His own combat uniform and sword were all taken away along with the skin, and the only thing he could get in his hand was the torture instrument here.
The flaming hunger was relieved, and Xu Shen wiped the corners of his mouth, scraping off and licking off the remaining blood.
He glanced at the twisted figure in the cage that had previously changed into the form of a little girl, who had shrunk into the deepest part of the cage, clutching his intestines and looking at him in horror.
This ruin is only C-level, and although Xu Shen is restricted by the forbidden ring, his upper body can still briefly burst out with some power to restrain it.
If it were those B-class ruins, Xu Shen would not have taken such a risk.
"If you want to eat, I will eat too...... But he didn't give him food, so I can't blame it. Xu Shen muttered to himself, his eyes were lonely, his hands were folded, like the old man in the snow-white robe, and he prayed softly:
"Pain comes from the flesh, and with a clean mind, there will be no fear of pain......"
After the recitation, Xu Shen dragged his bloody body and slowly returned to the torture room, and sat on the bloodstained chair again.
And in the dark cell, as the sound of swallowing and chewing ended, silence gradually returned.
Next.
Xu Shen heard the sound of prayer coming from above his head again in his drowsiness, from far to near, from blurry to clear, and gradually he opened his eyes and knew that a new day was coming.
Day 2...... Xu Shen silently wrote it down.
The recited Bible floated into his ears, and in the midst of pain and suffering, Xu Shen could only empty his mind, alleviate his physical pain, and gradually listen to the scriptures and listen to the gods.
When the scriptures disappeared, Xu Shen came back to his senses, and immediately looked at the end of the dark cage, waiting for the arrival of the old man.
After a long time, about an hour or so, I heard the sound of slight footsteps.
The old man in the snow-white robe walked down the steps alone, carrying a lunch box in his hand.
He walked through the dark cage, looked left and right, and saw that there was no disorder, and there were fresh blood stains left in front of the cages that he designated to be fed, indicating that Xu Shen did what he taught.
He nodded slightly, smiling in satisfaction.
When he came to the torture room, he saw the boy in the blood-colored chair.
The latter was like a strange blood-colored humanoid shape, sitting on this rugged chair, it looked so harmonious.
He smiled slightly and said, "I forgot yesterday, I'm hungry, this is your meal today, eat slowly." ”
Xu Shen looked at him quietly, and saw that the lunch box was placed on the Xingtai next to him, and as the lunch box was opened, Xu Shen also slowly stood up, and the blood stains on his buttocks and thighs were slightly torn again, and blood penetrated.
But after yesterday's repeated tears, there seemed to be another layer of scabs under the epidermis of his flesh, and the flesh seemed to have become more tenacious.
When he opened the lunch box, Xu Shen saw that there were a few simple side dishes and rice, as well as a large piece of braised pork.
Xu Shen couldn't tell what kind of meat this was, and he couldn't care about it at the moment, so he grabbed it and ate it.
Although he had eaten three meals a day, he was only one meal a day, and he was not full, plus the bleeding consumption of his body, how could he not feel hungry.
Seeing Xu Shen's gobbling appearance, the old man smiled slightly and said intimately: "Bring you some water next time, so as not to choke." ”
Xu Shen didn't speak, and continued to swallow heavily.
Halfway through eating, Xu Shen looked at the old man standing quietly on the side and said, "Do you still want to feed today?" ”
"No, the 'ingredients' haven't been collected, let's go in two days." The old man smiled.
Xu Shen was silent, nodded slightly, and then continued to eat.
"Have you listened to the Bible in the morning?" The old man was like a gentle scholar, talking to Xu Shen and Yan Yuese.
"Listen." Xu Shen nodded, "It makes sense." ”
The old man's eyes lit up slightly, and he smiled: "It seems that you are very perceptive, and you are worthy of being the Jiang family's ghost moon general, but unfortunately, the Jiang family has declined, otherwise you will not have a chance to receive the blessing of my lord." ”
Xu Shen was silent.
The old man talked a few more words about the scriptures in the morning, and when he saw that Xu Shen had indeed answered, he knew that Xu Shen was not lying, but had really listened to the teachings, and immediately turned around and left with satisfaction.
After the old man left, Xu Shen returned to the chair after eating.
His face was hidden in the darkness, the brass lamps on the walls faintly lit, and the only whispers of ruins and the occasional strange sound were left in the dark cage beneath the church.
Time passes in waiting.
Xu Shen couldn't tell the time, and could only judge by the prayers that came from the top of his head every day, and it was a new day.
Day after day.
Day 5......
Xu Shen listened to the prayer silently, and raised the ruins again yesterday, but the other ruins were already vigilant and would not approach him easily.
There are still ruins that are still tempting Xu Shen, but they are B-level ruins, and Xu Shen is not in danger.
The old man only came once a day to deliver one meal.
For several days in a row, Xu Shen was often hungry, and he was getting hungrier and hungrier.
In the midst of hunger and cold, Xu Shen found that listening to the scriptures became the most relaxing time for him every day, and it became a daily expectation.
Because at the end of the prayer, the old man would bring him food.
Today's prayer ended again, and Xu Shen looked at the end of the cage.
Not long after, the old man appeared again with a lunch box.
Seeing that the flesh and blood on Xu Shen's body were no longer bleeding, and the epidermis was gradually healing and scabbing over, forming a blood-colored flesh film, the old man smiled slightly and said: "After a while, you will be able to regenerate a new epidermis, although you are not a person with the ability to reconstruct the system, but the regeneration rate brought by the ruin power is far from being comparable to that of a very human." ”
Xu Shen heard the tone of his words, and seemed to be sincerely happy for himself.
He smiled as well, but only he knew the meaning of the smile.
"Is anyone coming for me?" Xu Shen was not in a hurry to eat this time, but stared at the old man.
The smile on the old man's face suddenly faded, and he said, "Do you still want to leave?" I didn't tell you before, actually...... The forces behind the Light Chaser in the inner city are our Moonlight Religion. ”
Xu Shen was stunned, and the glimmer in his eyes froze at this moment.
"Chasing the Light will ...... It is our moonshine religion that we are after. The old man said indifferently: "Otherwise, how could we investigate your information so easily?" If there were really other big people in the inner city to support you, they would have come to pick you up a long time ago. ”
"Oh, yes."
He suddenly thought of something, and looked at Xu Shen with a smile: "You are from the bottom city, you don't know the pattern of the inner city, many cats and dogs in the inner city are big people in your eyes, but...... In the inner city, we Moonlight Religion are the real big guys. ”
Xu Shen's eyes flashed with a deep light, thinking of the eyes of the Wood King shaking his head at him before leaving, and thinking of the information secretly transmitted by the other party, could it be that these were just to stabilize him and prevent him from resisting and making trouble and implicating the Wood King?
The bottom of his heart was sinking continuously, as if sinking into the cold and piercing depths of the sea.
"If you had shown your mask to prove your identity, I might not have brought you here, but alas, it's too late."
The old man shook his head slightly, and then said: "I hope I don't hear you mention this kind of thing again, this is a blasphemy against my lord Moon God, you have listened to the teachings for five days, and you still want to turn your back on my lord, it is really foolish......"
With that, he shook his head and turned to leave.
As the old man's back completely disappeared, Xu Shen stood in the dark, and the faint light of the surrounding copper lamps seemed to become dim at this moment, and boundless darkness surged in.
Like standing in the middle of a lake in the dark, there is an abyss at your feet.
Only the whispering ruins around talked.
Long.
Long.
Xu Shen's eyes returned to Mu Ran, and he picked up the lunch box and ate it.
The food was already cold, but he still ate fast.
When he finished eating, he returned to his chair.
Xu Shen slowly closed his eyes, calling for the secret world in his mind.
Soon, his soul seemed to fly out of his body, beyond the dark church, over the clouds, and into the brilliant and magnificent spiritual world.
27 brilliant balls of light, suspended like stars.
Xu Shen swept his eyes and saw that the detective's home was online, and the No. 7 wolf was also online.
"Number 10."
When the detective saw Xu Shen, he immediately greeted with a smile: "Why haven't you come for so long, I have heard some news about the Jiang family that you asked me to pay attention to last time." ”
Jiang Jia...... Sister Li...... Xu Shen was silent for a moment, and then said: "I'll talk about this next time, I have something to find No. 1." ”
"Looking for No. 1?"
The detective was a little surprised, could it be that what he was going to say, Xu Shen already knew? He's going to find No. 1 to deal with it directly?
"Then you can just stare at his secret call, and he will sense it if he is free." The detective woman said.
Xu Shen nodded slightly, staring at the dark red spirit of No. 1.
He called softly, feeling as if his thoughts were slowly touching the secrets of the other party.
It didn't take long for a dark red spirit to emerge.
Number 1 is online.
Xu Shen stared at his spiritual secrets in the way of No. 1 last time, and the spiritual secret light balls of the two suddenly changed slightly, moving out of the circle surrounded by 27 spiritual secrets, and gathered together to form a secret isolation circle, which could have private chats.
"10th, have something to do with me?" Number 1's voice was still majestic and calm, and there was some surprise that Number 10 would be looking for him.
"I need your favor." Xu Shen said in a deep voice.
No. 1 raised his eyebrows slightly, could it be the Jiang family's business?
He had heard about the relationship between No. 10 and the Jiang family from the detective woman, could it be that the other party was ready to make a move now?
But with his judgment of the Jiang family, it was not the best time for them to intervene.
However, if No. 10 insisted that he make a move, he would only be able to make one shot.
It's just that this time, he and No. 10 no longer owe each other.
"Can you help me get someone out of the Moonlight Religion?" Xu Shen said in a deep voice.
"Moonlight Religion?" No. 1 was surprised, how did it get involved in this religion, he said: "Who to fish, how to fish?" ”
Xu Shen was silent for a moment, and said, "Count it as one of my cultivated subordinates, if you can, I hope you can let him come out of the Moonlight Religion openly, he is now imprisoned as a criminal." ”
No. 1 raised an eyebrow, just a subordinate? Could it be a very important cronie?
However, this is a rare opportunity to investigate some of the identity information of the 10th from the identity of the person who rescued it.
If you know their identity...... No. 1's eyes narrowed slightly.
He said: "No problem, it's just that I have some holidays with the Moonlight Religion, and you have also seen my mission, if you can cut off the head of the Pope of the Moonlight Religion, it will be a quick thing!" Now that this Moonlight Religion has imprisoned your subordinates, and they are also our enemies, it would be easy if they were simply looted, but to get him out openly, I need to use a lot of connections......"
"Can it be done?" Xu Shen stared at him, "If it can be solved, the reward for the last mission will be written off." ”
No. 1 was waiting for this sentence and smiled: "Yes!" ”
The king's kindness is not easy to repay, if the 10th asks him to intervene in the affairs of the Jiang family, it will be the most headache.
As for rescuing a subordinate, it only takes a turn of personal relationships.
And you don't need to call on too high-level connections.
He also expected that the 10th looking for him might not be just a simple robbery, after all, if it was a simple robbery, the other party could also do it.
Walking out openly means that he must be cleared of his crimes, and there is a gold medal for his protection.
No. 10 can't do this, and asking him for help also means that No. 10 is indeed just the king of the bottom city?
Although the previous detectives, including him, also deduced that the other party was the king of the bottom city based on the clue information on the 10th, no one knew if this was an illusion revealed by the other party.
Just as he pretended...
But now that such an important favor can be used, it is enough to prove that it is difficult for the other party's hand to reach the inner city.
Is it really the queen ......? Number 1 squinted slightly.
The queen is female, and number 10 has a male voice, but the voice can be faked.
"How long?"
Xu Shen asked.
No. 1 came back to his senses and pondered, "I want to find out the situation first, which church he is being held in, what does it look like, and what is it called?" ”
"I don't know exactly which church it is." Xu Shen said: "His original identity is the leader of the Termite City Light Chasing Society, named Xu Shen, who was arrested six days ago, can you follow this investigation?" ”
It's termite city again...... No. 1's eyes flashed, and his heart became more convinced of No. 10's identity, and he couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of person actually made No. 10 ask him to take action at the risk of revealing his identity?
"With these clues, it's almost over, and I'll send someone to investigate immediately." Number 1 said.
"I hope you will soon be there." Xu Shen said in a deep voice: "You should know the means of the Moonlight Religion, to feed the ruins with people, I am worried that something will happen when it is late." ”
No. 1's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, these things were more or less heard of among the top forces in the inner city, but the king of the bottom city may not be clear.
After all, it can be regarded as the secret of the moonlight religion.
Generally, there are at least bishops in such "bazaars", and the bishop of the moonlight religion is the king, and there is a king to take care of him, and it is difficult for ordinary kings to infiltrate and probe.
The number 10......
No. 1's eyes flickered slightly, no matter what, first investigate the person who is going to be saved, maybe he can investigate clues and clues from the other party.
The two didn't talk much more, and after a brief goodbye, the dark red ball of light on No. 1 dimmed and went offline to run errands.
