Section 230 The Demon Cave (II)
Nanna felt something in a daze, and it seemed as if she heard someone talking, but she couldn't hear what was being said.
She tried hard to open her eyes, but their eyelids still felt heavy, and when she finally opened them, she saw a blurry ghost.
It wasn't until a warm feeling enveloped her that she felt a lot more comfortable.
The consciousness has recovered slightly, but the discomfort of the body is also clearer, but fortunately, the warm feeling just now is still there, which can relieve all kinds of discomfort during the onset of drug addiction.
Nanna finally remembered what had happened, because of the onset of drug addiction and the fact that several people who had broken into her room still refused to leave, she fainted in a hurry.
It all started at least a month ago, when there was another roommate in the room, Lota, who had escaped.
Rota's escape encouraged Nanna, who had been trying to get rid of her addiction since a month ago, and in considerable perseverance would have offered the ambergris cream instead of using it, but secretly destroying it.
In the middle of every night, Nanna had to endure torment, wrestling with the withdrawal reaction.
No one but herself knows how she struggled to get over in the middle of the night, when the drug addiction came up, and suppressed the desire to smell again and again.
The biggest reason why Lota was able to escape was that she successfully quit the addiction of ambergris cream, and she had not taken it again for at least three months and regained her basic physical strength, otherwise even if she could escape the control of the club, once the drug addiction attacked, she would either come back obediently, or look for the ambergris cream in hunger and thirst and expose her whereabouts.
Before Lotta, it was not that no one had tried to escape directly, and a very small number of people had fled into the wild, but the pursuit team sent by the clubhouse would also track them down.
And without recovering from drug addiction, it is impossible to escape from the search team, and the elves who escaped are suppressed by the forbidden ring. and drug addiction attack, can't run far at all, and even when drug addiction occurs, desperate to find a supply of ambergris cream, it is even more self-throwing to expose the traces. Either they were caught by the search team, or they were captured by thugs like the Axe Gang.
It's not like this hasn't happened before. On one occasion, the Axe mob took an elf who had escaped from the clubhouse before Evgeny could do so, resulting in a fight between Evgeny and Leonid, the leader of the Axe Gang.
In the end, no one pleased, both were defeated, and the poor elf just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den, and the **** who couldn't bear the mob committed suicide.
After this incident, Yevgeny and his gang repeatedly used it as an example to scare other people under their control, so that there were almost no people who dared to escape. Until Lota managed to escape.
Lota's success gives Nanna the courage to try to secretly quit her addiction and prepare to escape.
"You, you. Nanna opened her somewhat parched lips and vaguely heard her roommate Hurley's voice, asking her to drink some water and passing the container to her mouth.
She took a few sips and was in good spirits. The scene in his eyes also became clear, and he found that he was no longer on the ground. Instead, it was placed on a bed, and there was a milky white glow flickering on its body, which was the effect of purification.
"The purification technique can't relieve her addiction, but it can help her temporarily relieve the discomfort of the onset of drug addiction. Jackson said helplessly, magic is not omnipotent, and the addiction of ambergris cream is not something that ordinary purification techniques can resolve. And the most troublesome thing about drugs is addiction.
"Miss Nanna, if you're better, can we have a good talk?" Rand said sincerely.
Seeing that the other party did not speak, but his eyes were finally calm, Rand continued: "If we were not mistaken just now. You just had a very strong withdrawal reaction, according to Mr. Jackson, the withdrawal reaction usually occurs after a long period of absoris use, but after a period of abstinence, you were stimulated by the rosemary in Shelly's hand, and you couldn't control the onset of addiction, right?"
"What do you want?" Nanna shrank a little into the bed and said in a low voice, "Are you going to tell Yevgeny? ”
Rand and Jackson glanced at each other, and Rand said, "Miss Nanna, you don't have to be afraid, Hurley and her brother did offend Lev, but they actually came here to help me, because I heard that someone here uses ambergris to control you, is that so? Don't worry, as long as you are willing to tell the truth, I can help you like Brother Hurley, and I can help you move to Asturias to get rid of drug addiction and live again." ”
"Don't try to lie to me, how could you have saved me from here. Nanna shook her head.
"Miss Nanna, if you really don't have a little hope, then why do you insist on recovering from addiction and trying to escape?" ”
Nanna's chest heaved and she looked at Rand with a pair of eyes, who calmly met her gaze.
Gradually, Nanna's panicked, suspicious eyes slowly calmed down, and she finally spoke.
"Yes, this is a devil's cave, Yevgeny controls us with ambergris ointment, ostensibly a club that integrates catering and services, but secretly forces us to sell our bodies, earn a lot of money for him, and at the same time win over relationships. ”
Rand let out a sigh of relief, the answer was not unexpected, after all, he had heard that it was the case before he came in, and he just wanted to confirm it.
"If that's the case, I promise you, in addition to getting you out, I'll use my connections to report this place to the Sleepless City Council. ”
"No, the member of the municipal committee has been shielding him. Nanna shook her head.
Rand said: "Then I will expose this matter to Asturias proper, in short, you can rest assured, I promise you, I will destroy this demon cave." But I have another question, the handmaidens we saw when we came in seemed to be both elves and humans, and I am not surprised that Yevgeny and they were able to control the indigenous people here, but why did you fall into his hands, did you all have to ask for help when you were in trouble like Hurley, so you were controlled?"
For this point, it is also the confusion of other people, including the one who knows something about Van Saiti.
The forced women here are elves and terrans. Among them, it seems that most of the human races are the original inhabitant human race of the Jade Continent, and it is unlikely that they are the human race of the Azure Continent, of course, it is not ruled out that there are no smugglers at all, because after all, there are still stowaways from various countries who can come by boat.
It's not tourists who come like Rand or others or people who come to join relatives, like on a boat on a truth or dare together, and that's where the mother and daughter come to join their relatives.
If you have relatives and friends here or come through the Gate of All Worlds, you will have something to rely on or have whereabouts to check. If Yevgeny and his party were not fools, they would generally not touch such people, otherwise there would be too many disappearances, and sooner or later they would be in trouble.
Therefore, the vast majority of the Terran women he controls should be aboriginal women, and there is no danger in missing more.
But the elves in the hands are strange, Yevgeny and his accomplices are all elves, so ruthless that they are willing to mutilate and exploit their own people, and not to say, the key is which are so many sources. It is unlikely that it will be all in the city that never sleeps, because since Yevgeny has done it so many times, Van Saiti is vigilant, and he would rather borrow money from Lev than ask him for help, because he is afraid that he will calculate Hurley.
As a result, even if they lure the new elves into their targets, there are only a limited number of them.
Nanna's words cleared everyone's doubts, "The people who are controlled by Yevgeny. There are a few elves who come to this area without knowing his details, but many more. Just like me, a prisoner of war. ”
Rand couldn't have imagined that the answer would be like this, and he lost his voice: "Prisoner of war?"
"Yes, prisoners of war. Nanna smiled wryly and tore open her shoulder, revealing a mark that resembled a family coat of arms, "I was before I fell into this cave. He is a fighter of the Northeast United Resistance Army. ”
Nanna told the crowd and uncovered a corner of Yevgeny's cave.
The main source of Yevgeny's elven maids was not to lure the newcomers in the vicinity, but to be prisoners of war.
On the Emerald Continent, the north is now dominated by elven guerrillas and centaurs fighting fiercely. And in the east and south, in addition to the war between centaurs and elves, there are also conflicts between elves and elves.
Yevgeny had at least one or more tribes of centaurs and several elven armies, and he was very close, and he secretly helped them in some gray trade.
In addition to the ambergris ointment, he can buy some prisoners of war, of course he will not buy centaur prisoners of war, he buys elven prisoners of war.
In the war between the Centaur tribe and the elves, if the elves lose, they will also have captives, and the centaurs and orcs will treat these captives very brutally, especially women, who will almost be tortured by **** for several months, and then die tragically.
And after Yevgeny became acquainted with these centaur tribes, he was in a position to pay for some of the female elf captives who were seriously injured. He was able to buy something similar in the hands of other elven troops who had won the civil war, and here, he was initially willing to contribute money to help his clansmen, but over time, the elven troops who sold him captives also knew that he was not a good thing, but the interests of the two sides were combined, and they were bought and sold many times, and the hearts of these elves were also corroded like Yevgeny, and they relied on the blood and tears of their people to gain benefits.
After Yevgeny obtained female elven prisoners of war from these sources, he would use items such as magic forbidden rings to suppress them, and then force or trick them into addiction to ambergris.
When Nanna and the others become addicted, Yevgeny will control them to sell themselves, earn money for him, and win over and dredge up relationships, and even the city councilor Ke Muxian was dragged into the water, because here in the city that never sleeps, only Yevgeny has a large number of elven maids who betray him. Not even the Axe Gang could do it, because the Centaur tribe in the war generally did not sell their captives to Leonid.
Even if it was sold, Leonid would not be able to operate, and the elves that had fallen into his hands a long time ago were all broken and died like the aforementioned fugitive slaves.
Only Yevgeny succeeded, controlling the tribesmen who fell into his hands, and at the same time carefully packaging them as a "long-term investment".
"Sin. Jackson was also shocked, he had come here to hear about Yevgeny's sins like Rand, but he still didn't get to the point of sin.
"See, Rand, it's all the sins of ambergris. Jackson said excitedly.
Rand smiled bitterly, he didn't want to discuss this with Jackson now, and pointed to Guidena and said, "Let's discuss what to do now, right? The best thing we can do now is to leave now while Evgeny doesn't know about our situation, Hurley has to go, and this Nanna girl, save them, and then I will fulfill my promise and expose this matter to the mainland." ”
"The roots, Rand, the root of all this is brought about by the ambergris trade, do you know what your current behavior is, it is like stabbing someone and then selling it, but you still refuse to admit that all these evils are brought by us using ambergris. "Jackson hasn't given up yet.
Rand made a booing gesture and said helplessly: "Mr. Jackson, I understand your current mood very well, and I don't know how to answer you." However, I think the most important thing for us at the moment is to decide what to do next, otherwise we will be in danger even ourselves. ”
"If you really want to help us, please save the suffering sisters here, including the Terrans controlled by Yevgeny. Nanna said weakly.
"Rescue them all, we don't have the skills. Huo Qiu smiled bitterly.
"No, maybe there's a chance. Rand said, "Didn't you say that there would be an important reception in three days?"
"Three more days here?" Huo Qiu was startled, "This is too risky, isn't it?"
"Please. Nanna said.
Rand touched his chin and suddenly reached for Nanna's leg, startling the poor elf.
Rand's fingers touched the forbidden ring slightly before retracting it, and Rand said: "Three days later is an opportunity, if we can secretly help you remove the forbidden ring and restore some strength, the possibility of success will be greater." If you can really escape, follow me to the city council, even if there is Komuxian to protect Yevgeny, but I don't believe that all the city councilors have been bought, and my identity and that of Huo Qiu should also be able to play a role.
