Chapter 28: On death row
Jian Lin walked out violently, and wilted as soon as the cold wind blew outside.
No matter what, it's not a good thing to go to jail, God! Why is she so unlucky!
Probably with the High Priest taking care of him, and with the Raven Guards accompanying him, Rin Yuwei didn't do anything excessive.
But just getting close made Jian Lin unbearable, after all, she still remembered what the Demon Venerable said, and Rin Yuwei was covered in poison.
Fortunately, the journey was not long, from the high priest's mansion on the top of the mountain to the Demon Emperor's Palace halfway up the mountain, it took less than ten minutes.
After landing on the ground, Jian Lin looked at the entrance of the dark death row, his little face wrinkled into a bitter melon, and he didn't know when he would come out.
Rin Yuwei handed her over to the prison guard, and then leaned into the guard's ear, I don't know what she explained, Jian Lin wanted to lean over and eavesdrop, but was discovered by another guard monster, pushed her hard, and scolded loudly, "Be honest!" ”
Jian Lin glared back viciously, and in the end she didn't dare to do anything, she endured it!
Just as the explanation was finished, the monster pushed her hard again, pushing her into death row.
The inside of the death row was dark and damp, the air was full of foul stench and blood, and from time to time there were painful wails and moans, and she looked up, behind the black fence, there were black shadows shaking from time to time, and occasionally a thin and bloody paw stretched out, desperately scratching.
Jian Lin cautiously avoided them, and soon came to the end, and the guards locked her in a cell in the corner, locked the door and left neatly.
Jian Lin held the fence with both hands, looking at the backs of them leaving with torches, his vision fell into darkness, and instead, behind the other cells, a pair of shining eyes appeared.
"It's human...... Flavor. I don't know which neighbor let out a sigh.
As soon as these words came out, there were more eyes shining with ghostly light, Jian Lin's heart sank, and she hurriedly retreated, at this time she actually began to pray that the Demon Emperor's prison would be stronger and protect her from being eaten by other monsters.
It wasn't until she shrank into the corner that Jian Lin relaxed a little, sat down cross-legged, looked out of the prison door vigilantly, and began her prison life like a year.
Soon the night passed, and the sun came out, and the sunlight poured in through the overhead air windows, bringing a little light to the dark death row.
Jian Lin stood up, straightened his arm and slammed it, clasped his fingers on the edge of the thin window, raised his eyes to look outside, and found that it was the dungeon compound, because the perspective was limited, he could only see the guard's feet, back and forth, patrolling dutifully.
Jian Lin stretched out his hand to try if he could pull the fence of the air window, but he hadn't touched it yet, and there was a snapping sound, which felt like an electric shock, which directly knocked Jian Lin back, flew straight back, and slammed into the cell door, and the chain that locked the door made a rattling sound.
This series of changes is very obvious in the quiet death row, Jian Lin doesn't know why it's a little embarrassing, just the kind of embarrassment that the whole class is taking a nap, and you throw the book on the ground with a bang.
She leaned motionless against the cell door, praying that the chains would soon be quiet and that she would minimize her presence.
"Oh, stupid human." It's still the calm voice of last night, mercilessly mocking.
Jian Lin slowly turned his head and followed the sound to look over, because there was light coming in, the death row was no longer dark, and a silhouette could be seen vaguely.
Seeing that the monster had a pair of huge horns, branching like branches, it was hard for Jian Lin not to suspect that the other party was a deer.
Before Jian Lin could see clearly, another voice sounded, which was relatively sharp and harsh, echoing the words of the previous monster, "It's really stupid, but as food, it's not that important." ”
"It's noisy!" Another irritable voice sounded, "You guys are so boring, you're all on death row, we're all food for the Demon Emperor, how can you be qualified to mock a stupid human?" ”
"Brother Child," a sharp voice retorted, "don't be discouraged, have you ever eaten a human?" If you can taste it before you die, it will not be in vain. ”
The irascible monster and the sharp monster quarreled, but the monster who spoke first shut up, and Jian Lin looked at him shaking the big horn on his head, as if he had no interest in the argument.
Retracting her gaze, Jian Lin suddenly became interested in the prison friend opposite, why did those monsters quarrel for a long time, but the monsters closest to her didn't make a sound.
She squinted her eyes and looked closely, and by the slightest light, she could tell that the cell opposite seemed to be empty. No yokai in there?
Jian Lin silently retreated, and in the midst of a quarrel, he boredomically put his hand into the Qiankun bag, ready to find a little snack to eat.
Probably because the high priest took care of him, the group of guards did not search his body, and Jian Lin still had a lot of good things hidden on his body, which was just used to pass the boring prison time.
took out a handful of pine nuts, Jian Lin peeled them off and threw them into his mouth, grinding them finely with the tips of his teeth, unconsciously thinking of the dog man of the Demon Venerable, it was really hateful!
While eating pine nuts, Jian Lin closed his eyes and communicated with the system, wanting to find something to escape from prison in the mall.
Facts have once again proved that dog men are unreliable and rely on themselves for everything.
While communicating happily with the system, the system suddenly changed its tone and said hesitantly, "Host, I don't know if I should remind you, but there is a youkai sitting across from you right now." ”
Jian Lin was stunned for a moment, but still didn't open his eyes, "What do you mean?" ”
"That's literally," the system said again, "don't be intimidated when you open your eyes." ”
Jian Lin opened her eyes suspiciously, facing a pair of golden eyes that shimmered with a ghostly light, even though she was reminded by the system, she was still so frightened that her heart stopped, and she ducked backwards, only to hit the hard wall, slammed, and buzzed her brain.
Jian Lin covered the back of her head, raised her head strongly, and said to the little demon standing in front of her, "This friend, don't scare stupid humans, stupid humans may be scared to death." ”
I saw that the little demon on the opposite side was about the same height as Jian Lin sitting, with dirty white long hair, golden eyes, a three-petal mouth, and pointed ears, and it turned out to be a little kitten.
Of course, Jian Lin strictly followed the principle that demons should not be disguised, and did not dare to disrespect that little demon by virtue of his appearance, after all, the monsters that can be locked up in the Demon Emperor's death row are definitely not simple monsters.
The little demon stuck out his tongue and licked the tip of his nose, and asked curiously, "Stupid human, what are you eating?" ”
The voice is immature and cute, which is very consistent with the appearance of the little demon.
"Pine nuts," Jian Lin spread out his palms and said to the little demon in a friendly manner, "Do you want to eat?" ”
The little demon nodded solemnly, stretched out the nails on his paws, carefully pinched one of them, threw them into his mouth and chewed them directly, crunchy like chewing cat food.
"No, no, no," Jian Lin pinched one of them, peeled them off with his fingernails along the gaps, and handed the white pine nuts to the little demon, "Don't eat the outer shell, eat this." ”
The little demon stretched out his nails and pinched them, threw them into his mouth again, as if he had eaten something magical, with a happy look in his eyes, and then stretched out the meat pad, as a matter of course, he said that he still wanted to.
Jian Lin shrugged indifferently, he was idle anyway, and it was not difficult to peel some pine nuts.
Seeing that the little demon was eating happily, Jian Lin smiled and accosted her, "What's your name?" How did you get in? ”
"My name is Xiao Li, the dawn of dawn, and that's my name because I was born at dawn," Xiao Li replied unguardedly, "I live on the opposite side, and I heard you eating and walked in directly." ”
Jian Lin glanced back, between the fence and the fence, it was only about three fingers wide, how did this come in?
Xiao Li had a good temper, she stood up to cover up for Jian Lin, only to see her raise her chin, squeeze it out easily along the gap, and then squeeze it back easily.
Jian Lin was dumbfounded, the cat is really made of water, this is okay! She thought that Xiao Li would use some spells or something, but it turned out to be a hard squeeze.
After eating a handful of pine nuts, Jian Lin peeled his fingers and had a headache, and took out a handful of candied fruit from the Qiankun bag, "Xiao Li, you taste this." ”
Xiao Li took it, first put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it, and threw it directly into her mouth, the sweet and sour taste made her stunned, her hair stood on end, and then she munched happily, obviously in love with this taste.
Jian Lin took the opportunity to ask, "Xiao Li, why are you on death row?" ”
"Because my mother came in, I can only come in with me," Xiao Li is a very simple little demon, and said without reservation, "Later, my mother was pulled out and never came back, it is said that she was skinned to make a coat for the demon emperor, and I was the only one left in the cell." ”
Ah, I never expected to hear such a tragic story, but the little demon who told the story was very calm.
Jian Lin didn't know what to say to comfort her, after thinking about it, she took out a pack of precious jerky from the Qiankun bag, which she pickled and made in Izumo Pavilion herself, she only took out one or two to satisfy her hunger, and this time she generously gave it all to Xiao Li.
Xiao Li hugged the big bag, wagged his tail happily, and said excitedly, "Stupid human, you are very powerful, you have a lot of delicious food." ”
Jian Lin couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Xiao Li's hairy head, "Call me Sister Apoi, don't call me a stupid human." ”
Xiao Li immediately changed his words sweetly, "Sister Apoi." ”
"That's good!" Jian Lin laughed, patted his chest and said, "Sister has a lot of delicious food here, as long as you are obedient, my sister will give it to you." ”
In this way, Jian Lin picked up a little cutie on death row, Xiao Li went back with food at first, and after two or three days, she slept next to Jian Lin with all her heart, and even exposed her belly defenselessly.
In the past two or three days, Jian Lin found that Xiao Li had a good relationship with other prison friends, often went out to visit the door, and also distributed the dried meat that Jian Lin gave her to the demons, which was really a well-behaved, sensible and generous little monster.
Thanks to Xiaoli's blessing, Jian Lin got rid of the title of "stupid human", and all the demons called her Miss Ngapoi.
Jian Lin nodded with satisfaction, with Xiao Li accompanying her, the days of squatting in prison were finally not so difficult, and she was not in a hurry to go out.
She wanted to see what the Demon Venerable would do.
Another three days passed, and after serious calculations, it had been half a month since she was arrested, and the Demon Venerable finally appeared.
Jian Lin was meditating and cultivating, and in a trance, she smelled a familiar breath, her eyes did not open, and she said lightly, "Young Master, you are here......"
