025 Cellar
Jiang Rao had a good night's sleep, but when he woke up, he was not in a good condition.
I clearly feel like I've been asleep for a long time, but when I look around, it's still dark and I can't see my fingers.
What's going on?
At her usual level, she has to wake up three poles in the sun, and the sun is shining on her ass.
Could it be that this is a dream, and the real self is still sleeping?
Thinking of this, she lay back down, closed her eyes, and opened them suddenly.
What's this thing behind you? It's hard and cold, my back hurts, and what about my soft and spacious bed?
There was also an indescribable smell in the air.
Finally realizing that something was wrong, his heart jerked, and he got up and groped around, trying to figure out the situation.
I slowly groped my way forward like this, and after half a day, I didn't touch the edge.
This is probably a very spacious place, and with no daylight, it is likely to be underground.
Could it be that Murong Jue sold himself?
Jiang Rao thought that he was not small, but at this time, he also had a little fear.
Face the fear of the unknown.
Who can tell her what really happened?
Pretending to be calm, he had no choice but to call the system.
"What is this place, do you know?"
The system is back this time very fast.
γAcacia Inn, cellar. γ
Jiang Rao was stunned, and sure enough
Immediately, a very terrifying thought exploded uncontrollably in her head.
The cellar of the Acacia Inn?
Could it be that this is a black shop?
Could it be that Murong Jue has already been ...... first?
She didn't dare to think about it.
The male protagonist died before the blackening began.,That's how presumptuous!
[Reminder: The task starts.] γ
Jiang Rao: "......?" β
[Looking for the hidden setting - the destruction of Shark State.] γ
Jiang Rao emo.
It's been a few days since I've been lazy, and I'm going to be a cow and a horse again.
That's it, she sighed softly, and said, "Give me a hint, for example, who brought me here." β
[The host's current points have not reached the open prompt function.] γ
I knew that this was the result.
It is better to rely on the system than on himself, Jiang Rao suddenly found a few dim lights not far ahead, and slowly walked towards the light.
Walking this way, it's dark, but it's enough to see.
Light came through a crack in the door, and even a subtle whimper came through the crack in the door.
Jiang Rao put his head on the door panel and listened attentively, because it was dark all around, and in this invisible situation, other senses would be infinitely magnified, such as hearing.
She heard a strange sound - something seemed to be walking softly, paws rubbing against the ground.
Jiang Rao was startled, paused, and listened carefully.
The sound was like that of a hungry wolf breaking into the camp in winter, and if you listened closely, it seemed to be dragging an iron chain on the ground.
Suddenly, my heart twitched uncontrollably, and my body gradually tensed.
Although he was scared, he couldn't resist his curiosity, Jiang Rao looked through the crack in the door, because the gap was too small, like a leopard in a tube, he could only see a little part.
There were chains, hands and feet, charred walls, and those hideous scratches on the walls.
It must have been someone trapped in chains.
Jiang Rao knew that this might be a clue.
So I had the urge to go over and find out.
But just in case, he groped for an iron rod from the ground at random, and was worried about how to open the door, so he habitually pushed and pulled a few times, and actually let her push it open.
The eyes are facing each other.
The strange sound suddenly stopped. A pair of eyes flashed in the night, looking at her.
"Huh?" She frowned, and realized that there was a man bound by chains in front of her.
He looked to be in his early twenties, his clothes were ragged, his face was so dirty that he couldn't see his original appearance, his hair was scattered, and he had an indescribable stench from his body because he had not been taken care of for a long time.
At this time, he was like a curled sand fox, squatting in the corner and holding the black-haired steamed buns in his hand and gnawing on them, probably hungry, and his eyes looked particularly big on that dry and dark face.
stared at Jiang Rao very cautiously.
His eyes are extremely good-looking, standard Danfeng eyes, the color of the eyes is pale blue, although at this time the inside is already dim, full of sadness, depression, resentment, such emotions, but can also find a trace of the shadow from the subtle light.
The eyes are bright, like a dark river star.
After looking at each other for a long time, Jiang Rao looked away and glanced around.
It was found that the room was not large, with simple tables and chairs, and that the man's hands and feet were bound by iron chains, which were not long or short, just enough for him to move around in this small room.
The middle door was opened, and the candlelight passed through this door, also illuminating the room behind Jiang Rao.
She couldn't help but poke her head out to see what was in the room she had just stayed in.
I don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
In the huge room, the walls are densely covered with human heads.
Some of the heads had become yellowed bones, and some were still dripping with blood and steaming.
The dim candlelight hits it, and it's creepy.
Suddenly he reacted, and the cold and hard thing he was leaning on just now was those skulls.
Jiang Rao was so frightened that he almost called his mother, first shivered coldly, and then closed the door very calmly.
Turning his head again, he looked at the man in front of him, and suddenly felt particularly pleasing to the eye.
The man was not surprised by Jiang Rao's appearance, he didn't look at her again after looking at each other just now, and he took care of the steamed buns in his hand.
To figure it out as soon as possible, what's going on? Jiang Rao took the initiative to talk to him.
"You're not from this island, are you?"
For some reason, Jiang Rou felt that he was not an ordinary person, and it could be seen from his calm and breezy appearance that there should often be people like himself who were thrown here.
So ask questions like "What the hell is this place?" and "Who are you?" How can I get out? "Such a question, the other party will definitely ignore it.
So he skips the prelude directly and tests the identity of the other party, what if it comes to the point?
Sure enough, after hearing Jiang Rao's question, the man stopped nibbling on steamed buns.
Xu didn't speak for a long time, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"None of the people who came here were from the island."
What do you mean? Specifically for outsiders?
Jiang Rao saw that he was willing to talk to him, and asked very cautiously, "It seems that you know a lot about this?" I've been here for a while, right? β
The other party lowered his head, and the eyelash curtain cast a shadow on his face, trembling slightly, and the shadow also moved.
did not answer Jiang Rao's question, but continued to eat steamed buns slowly.
There are no waves in the eyes, no sadness or joy, indifferent to an almost perverted level.
But it was by no means the sluggishness after being locked up for a long time, it could be seen that his consciousness was still very clear, and that kind of indifference, as if innate, was revealed from his bones.
Jiang Rao became more and more curious about him, and couldn't help but wonder what kind of story was behind him?
But I also know that you can't rush it, you need to be tempting.
She slowly moved closer to him, noticing the heavy chains on his hands and feet again.
With an idea, he said, "Do you want to go out?" I can find a way to help you get the chains open. β
This should have been the most wanted thing to hear by any trapped person, but the other party's face was not moved, and he was finally willing to raise his eyes.
Then he said, "It's useless, it's not ordinary chains that trap me." β
Seeing that he was so sure, it was hard for Jiang Rao not to believe it. After all, there were still a few fresh heads hanging on the walls of the room behind him, oozing with blood.
It can be seen that he is not the first person to be thrown here, and those people in front must be like him now, seeing this indifferent man like water, and also thinking about helping him untie the chains, and then escape together.
And finally?
Failed, of course.
Seeing that the side knock seemed to be useful to him, Jiang Rao didn't bother to sell it anymore, so he asked him directly.
"Friend, you know what I want to ask, right? Where is this, exactly? Is there an export? β
He had just taken a closer look, and found that the room was completely enclosed, with no doors or windows, not even crevices.
The man in front of him sighed.
"This is a secret cellar of the Acacia Inn, the innkeeper, you should have seen it, her name is Eleven Niang, and she is a descendant of the Shark Emperor. A hundred years ago, the outside world was obsessed with eating shark human flesh, so as to obtain a shortcut to cultivation, so they encircled and suppressed Sharkzhou. You must have heard it when you were a kid, right? β
Suddenly being named, Jiang Rao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, although he hadn't heard of this when he was a child, he had to pretend to have heard it.
The man responded, and continued, "Shark Prefecture was destroyed overnight, and the Shark people were almost extinct. Only a few remnants survived. Although they can't seek revenge from the outside world, the moon of revenge against the clan is always in their hearts. β
Jiang Rao came to his senses.
That's why they hate outsiders so indiscriminately, and the mood of ordinary civilians is quite stable, after all, they didn't participate in that war, and many of them are the descendants of those remnants.
Living and working in peace and contentment, who wants to keep hatred in their hearts all the time?
But as a shark queen, they are born with a sense of fate, so they dare not slack off at any time.
Even after nearly a hundred years, I know that there is no hope of seeking revenge, but compared to ordinary mermaids, that disgust and hatred are not so easy to dissipate.
Therefore, anyone who comes here, whether it is ordinary people or immortal cultivators, whether it is intentional or unintentional, the final result is basically impossible to escape being thrown here.
Suddenly, Jiang Rao found a problem, that is, his own enjoyment, and his head was still on his body.
It stands to reason that if you are thrown here, you will definitely be the same as those people on the wall.
But here she stands unharmed.
"Oh no!!"
She exclaimed, this panic did not want to fake, and it actually caused a subtle change on the man's face.
It could be seen from his eyes that he was confused at the moment.
Surprised, what are you doing?
Jiang Rao suddenly wailed: "It's over, he didn't come here with me, he must have been taken by that eleven mother, maybe it's ...... now Lost. β
Man: "........."
Jiang Rao was convinced of this, after all, Murong Jue's face was really good-looking, such a handsome man, no one would kill him without doing anything.
Whatever you say, you have to play it first.
If you're tired of playing, it's never too late to kill.
And after he was thrown here, he was not immediately hung on the wall, presumably it must have been that eleven niang who was lazy, so she forgot about it for the time being.
She was a little sad to hear Murong Jue.
This exaggerated wail and sorrow came down, and the man in front of him finally couldn't help but take the initiative to ask for the first time.
"Who is he?"
Jiang Rao sighed again: "A friend." β
