Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Water Prison (Today's Update)
*Today's temporary update, on the one hand, is to make up for Christmas's leave, and on the other hand, I feel that the update rhythm of the dungeon should not be delayed too long. In recent days, [probably] the speed of updates will be slightly increased if possible. *
After leaving a deserted Jinluan hall with a question mark on their faces, Xiao Yao and Shen Jie finally heard some movement outside the door of another classroom.
Xiao Yao pressed his ear to the classroom door, and only faint whipped and wailing could be heard. He tried to turn the handle, but this time the door was locked.
Are they being held here and tortured?
Xiao Yao turned around and exchanged glances with Shen Jie, but did not say the idea.
"You carry me up, and I'll see what's going on inside from the high window." Shen Jie made a decision immediately.
"Shall I resist you?"
Before Xiao Yao could react, Shen Jie stood up and grabbed Xiao Yao's shoulders with both hands.
"What are you going to do?" Xiao Yao felt that Shen Jie's posture was like she was about to be hugged in the next second, and swallowed a mouthful of water.
"Squat!" Shen Jie's hands pressed Xiao Yao down.
Xiao Yao wanted to say, "It's not appropriate", but he opened his mouth but didn't say anything, and squatted down honestly facing the classroom door.
Shen Jie stepped on Xiao Yao's left shoulder, then his right shoulder.
The pressure of 100 catties instantly pressed on the shoulders under the soles of the two shoes, and the huge pressure made Xiao Yao, who usually couldn't bear it, secretly said bad in his heart, and reached out to grab the girl's ankle, but Shen Jie stumbled, and the two of them fell back together.
"What are you doing?" The two of them fell to the ground, each rubbing their heads and bodies, and asked in unison.
"You're young, your waist won't be worse than my cousin, right?" Shen Jie said angrily: "I don't weigh much!" β
"How can you ride like that?"
"How are you going to ride it?"
Xiao Yao squatted down again, directing Shen Jie to straddle his left leg over his shoulder, and then his right leg.
"Sit tight, get up!"
Xiao Yao hugged Shen Jie's two calves with both hands, trying to keep her balance and stand up, but fortunately she was indeed not heavy.
Shen Jie's hands clutched Xiao Yao's hair tightly - at this time, she had already begun to regret it.
"Tap, it hurts." Xiao Yao said this, but his attention was all attracted by the heat behind his neck.
In all fairness, he didn't deliberately want to take advantage of Shen Jie, but it wasn't until this that he realized that the situation was a little delicate.
He inexplicably thought of the old man who rode on the protagonist's neck in "One Thousand and One Nights" and refused to come down, and then thought of the maid mentioned by Wang Xiaobo in "My Yin and Yang Worlds".
As the saying goes, "princes and generals are all out of this"......
"Prison?" Shen Jie observed through the window and muttered to herself.
"What prison? Isn't it going to jail just to think about it? Xiao Yao retorted nervously.
"Who put you in jail?" Shen Jie patted Xiao Yao's head and made a "bang" sound: "This is a prison, or the kind of prison illuminated by torches, with iron cages and wooden frames hanging on the walls, and it makes me sick to watch." β
"Do you see anyone? Where does the sound come from? β
"The rooms were empty, but there was a room in the innermost room, and there was an unclothed man who was handcuffed to a thin pillar. But the beaters are not visible. β
"No clothes? What does it look like? β
"I can't see clearly."
"Male or female?"
"I can't see clearly."
"No, what kind of eyes do you have?" Xiao Yao couldn't cry or laugh.
"It's just a few torches that are very dark, and it's nice that I can see that it's a person." Shen Jie said angrily.
"Tell me what you can see."
"This beaten man...... ...... with strong abs."
"Abs? That's fine, it's not the person we're looking for. β
"You two! What are you doing? β
βοΌοΌβ Suddenly, a voice startled Xiao Yao.
He turned his head to look, stunned.
"Zhou Qi? I've found you! Xiao Yao shouted.
"She's Zhou Qi?" Shen Jie asked as she leaned against the wall.
I saw Zhou Qi wearing light makeup, his hair coiled behind his head, wearing a regular suit and skirt, black stockings and high heels, looking a round bigger than before, obviously only of medium stature, but in front of Xiao Yao, he had a condescending momentum.
"I'll take a look at my student ID." Zhou Qi stretched out his hand, and there was no understanding of Xiao Yao in his tone.
"None? New to the new arrival? β
Looking at Zhou Qi's eyebrows, dress, and demeanor, Xiao Yao suddenly realized that the person in front of him was not Zhou Qi, but the same kind of robot named Seckel that he met yesterday.
Yesterday, the head was cut off by an axe and I didn't recognize it, but now that I think about it, isn't that Zhou Qi's face?
What does Zhou Qi have to do with this place?
By the way, the Zhou Qi I met at the cash cabinet KTV is actually a Sekel?
"What should I do?" Shen Jie hooked Xiao Yao's little fingertip and asked in a low voice.
"If you haven't signed up yet, please follow me through the procedures." The possibility of rejection seems to be completely absent from this Szckel request.
"Anyway, we can't follow her train of thought, we were on the road last time." Xiao Yao replied to Shen Jie while following her.
Shen Jie nodded.
Xiao Yao didn't have time to put the second half of the sentence down, "But you can't be rough, this guy is okay if he is hit in the head by an axe." As she spoke, Shen Jie suddenly kicked the upper section of "Ha", hitting the back of "Zhou Qi's" head.
It's all over the calf! Xiao Yao secretly complained in his heart.
Normally, if a normal person suffers from this, he will definitely fall.
It's a pity that Seckel is not a normal person.
"Run!" Xiao Yao took Shen Jie's hand, but Shen Jie had already fallen.
Then, Xiao Yao's eyes darkened.
Alas, it's still the same old thing.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
A mouthful of cold water chokes on my throat, mud and sand spurt out of my nose, and the fishy aftertaste instantly restores my brain.
"Are you awake?"
The voice came from the person holding him behind him.
"You stand up by yourself, I really don't have the strength." It's Shen Jie.
Xiao Yao hurriedly found his legs and let them enter the role.
In order to support the unconscious Xiao Yao not to drown, Shen Jie kept trying to hold him and keep his face above the horizontal line.
It made her look a little embarrassed, a few strands of wet hair stuck to her forehead, and the makeup on her face was spent.
Xiao Yao was grateful and distressed in his heartβhuh? Wait, she actually has makeup? Xiao Yao didn't see it at all.
The girl was submerged in the murky water from the chest downβin fact, the filth was perhaps more imaginary, for the room was dark and the visibility was not great.
Then, Xiao Yao felt a burst of pain from the wound in his right arm.
"Where are we?"
"Supervisor...... Prison bar. Shen Jie replied with chattering teeth.
Ah, yes.
The prison was lit with torches, and the iron cages were one by one, and the walls were hung with iron cuffs and wooden crosses...... And the water that flooded your waist?
Not far away, the sound of whipping and screaming came from the neighboring house.
Xiao Yao finally remembered what had happened: "You're too reckless, aren'......?" β
Shen Jie opened her mouth to grab the white, but she didn't say anything after all.
"How long have I passed out?"
"No...... I know," Shen Jie continued to tremble her teeth: "...... Should...... A few hours, right? β
Have you been supporting me for the past few hours? Xiao Yao was a little emotional, and a little incredible.
"That's right!" He shouted, "Father didn't give us a teleportation scroll......"
"Put it in your trouser pocket, it's already soaked," Shen Jie interrupted him: "Do you think I can't think of it?" β
"Why don't you memorize it!"
Shen Jie's eyes widened, and she looked like she was about to explode in anger, but in the end she just said coldly: "Yes, it's all my fault." β
"I'm sorry." Xiao Yao finally noticed that the girl's face had turned a little pale from the cold, and her lips were purple.
It is said that it is summer in the magic capital at this time, and even if the temperature difference between day and night is large, it will not reach the level of hypothermia.
But in this world, there is no reason to speak.
"You wear my coat...... Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie's soaking wet black sports vest attached to his body, and Asa Sidi made this suggestion.
"What's the use of wearing wet clothes......"
"Then what ...... now" Xiao Yao's question was halfway asked, and then he ate the word "what to do" back into his stomach.
If you ask a girl about everything, what do you want me to do?
He tried to "walk" through the water to the door of the water dungeon and inspect the door, only to realize that his left foot was locked by something.
"Is this water going up all the time?" Xiao Yao found another, more serious problem.
"......" Shen Jie was speechless.
Well, let's assume that the water level will not rise, in that case, at least you won't freeze to death until dawn. Prison should at least take care of the food. Would it? Bar......
"Hmm......" Shen Jie's demeanor was already a little confused.
"Don't sleep! Can't fall asleep right now! β
Xiao Yao reached out and grabbed Shen Jie's shoulder.
The boy hugged the girl tightly in his arms, without a trace of the evil thought of eating tofu in his heart, he just wanted to share his body temperature with the other party, and more.
"I'm sorry......" Xiao Yao said, "I'm really sorry." β
The girl seemed to nod, but she didn't. In the dark, Xiao Yao could only hear her breathing.
"You talk to me too, don't fall asleep." Xiao Yao reminded.
In fact, even he could feel that his body temperature was passing rapidly.
He felt cold, his hands and feet shook involuntarily, and it was difficult to say how awake he was.
"I ...... too I'm sorry......" Shen Jie finally spoke again.
"Huh?" Xiao Yao said.
"The first paragraph...... Time, that's right...... You," Shen Jie said, "Do you have to be told by others?" β
"It's okay, it doesn't matter, anyway," Xiao Yao actually mattered, but pretended to be free and easy: "Anyway, you will be my wife sooner or later, what am I anxious about?" β
The girl leaned her head on Xiao Yao's chest and smiled weakly: "We're all going to die here together, and it's still oily." β
"It would be nice if I could die with you." Xiao Yao blurted out, and he didn't know how true or false this was.
"I just don't like people like you." Shen Jie said quietly.
"What?" Xiao Yao was stunned.
"Nothing." Shen Jie closed her eyes.
"We won't die," Xiao Yao cheered her up: "We will go out from here and live to be in our thirties...... watched Shen Tianyun grow from a small baby to a big girl day by day, and then ......"
"Tianyun, Shen Tianyun......" Shen Jie chewed on the name in her mouth, as if there was some magic in it: "If we die here, history will be changed, and there will be no more Shen Tianyun, right?" β
"W-"
ββ¦β¦ You're right, we're not going to die. Shen Jie's voice suddenly raised a little.
"Huh......?"
"Here it is...... The world of the rational type is also the world of the spirit, right? Shen Jie's eyes became bright: "In that case, why should we be dominated by other people's cognition and will? β
"That's right!" Xiao Yao shouted.
"We will live, and the daughter of the Shen family will not die in this kind of place." Shen Jie announced: "We will get out of here, get your classmates out, and then, and then ......"
Before Xiao Yao could finish hearing her say "then" something, the girl in her arms broke free.
He heard the sound of the anklets breaking, and then saw Shen Jie walking towards the door of the water prison.
"Be careful......" Xiao Yao tried his shackles, but he still didn't move.
βAyοΌAyοΌThou art weοΌ we art thou.β Another voice sounded in the air out of thin air, it was obviously not Shen Jie's voice.
Xiao Yao felt that her English was quite the tone of an ancient English nobleman, and then the owner of the voice revealed her true body: a translucent phantom, draped in a blood-red robe, wearing a crown covered with twelve colored gems and inlaid with a golden cross, and a colorful rose that was red on the outside and white on the inside of her hand was tightly attached to her chin.
"This is ......," Xiao Yao muttered.
Shen Jie raised her head and saw a layer of light on the phantom's body, illuminating this dim water prison.
A small badge appeared in her palm, hovering in the palm of her hand out of thin air. On the front of the badge is a portrait that is indistinguishable from the translucent phantom, underneath which is inscribed "Mary Tudor".
"Mary...... What? Shen Jie grabbed the badge and flipped her over. On the back of the coat of arms, there is a white marble carving, the "back" chess piece in chess, and the queen sculpture on the chess piece is vivid, like a real person, with a strong Renaissance color.
"My blood and pride are all in the crown." Shen Jie said.
"What did you say?" Xiao Yao shouted loudly.
The reason why it needs to be shouted loudly is because the whole water prison is shaking and rumbling.
The phantom in the blood-red robe spoke in ancient English that Xiao Yao didn't understand, and at the same time lit a flame, causing the wooden door of the water prison to burn, but Xiao Yao didn't feel the burning, only a burst of warmth.
Then, his shackles began to loosen, and the wooden door collapsed.
The phantom and flames disappeared, and he saw Shen Jie crawling to the "shore" by herself, her wide-legged pants filled with water flowing like a waterfall. The water flowed into her father's shoes, spilled out again, and fell to the surface. Under the firelight, the soaked white shoes and socks reflected a glittering light.
"Wait for me! Feed! β
