"You seem to be very proud?" he stopped laughing, and heard the sound of a scarlet voice. There is no doubt that this little girl still doesn't know what happened to Lu Dao. She probably thought it was just the wind blowing the door shut.

"You can't escape this time. Hassel easily restrained his excitement and took a breath, "Although you killed the guards outside, this door is specially made to close automatically, and once closed, the inside cannot be opened. ”

Scarlet outside didn't speak, but Hassel could imagine that the other party was studying the iron gate at the moment.

"If you want to pry the door open, then you are welcome to try it. Hassel tried to calm himself down, and now it was finally his turn to enjoy the victory. "But I suggest you don't have to do it in vain. After dawn, the door will open from the outside. Rest assured, I won't send you to the ghouls again when the time comes—I'm going to see your body cremated with my own eyes. ”

Scarlet didn't answer, and after a long time, she was still silent.

"If you want to open this sarcophagus, kill me. Hassel said proudly. "That's in vain. But forget it, you won't believe me, so take your time. I'd love to wait. ”

"You set this trap and are waiting for me?" I don't know what Lu Dao is for, and there is no panic in Scarlet's voice.

"That's right. I want you to know that in this world, the real strength is never in the arm. Hassel replied. "Dear niece, you really should have done it right last night, instead of saying something like 'I'm not going to kill you like this.'" Don't be sad, I will remember you for the rest of my life, remember this lesson. No matter what the enemy is in the future, I will kill him as soon as possible, instead of trying to make him live a few more days and torture him. ”

He couldn't hear Scarlet's answer. Scarlet should be carefully looking for the gap in the sarcophagus, looking for a place where the lid can be pried up. But Hassel knew it was in vain. Except for the air holes, this sarcophagus was hermetically sealed - this was something he had already confirmed himself.

"You still have the last night, please do whatever you want. Hassel continued. "But to be honest, I really want to know where your skills come from? Last time you were just an ordinary stupid girl. ”

"Why did you kill my father?" Scarlet didn't answer, but asked rhetorically in a voice full of cold murderous intent.

"Well...... Let's make a deal. I answer your questions, and you answer my questions, how?"

"Hmph. Scarlet let out a cold snort, but she didn't explicitly refuse.

"You were sent to that cemetery and fell into the hands of ghouls...... I'm guessing they wanted to bring you back to eat, and you found some ancient magic gear or something in their lair. With this thing, you finally escaped. ”

"What a ridiculous idea! There is nothing so simple in this world...... But it doesn't matter to you, I didn't fall into the hands of ghouls, but I met a being far more terrifying than a ghoul!" Hassel guessed it might have been fear. Now it's your turn to answer. ”

"Your father's business...... Actually, I'm sorry too. Hassel replied. Others may call him hypocritical, but he knows that it is not a lie. "Honestly, I like him. No one hates a bold and enthusiastic friend. Especially that friend is a bit stupid. ”

"Then why are you doing this kind of thing?!"

"That's because in order to get to a higher position, you have to make sacrifices. Hassel replied coldly, and it was only when he said this that his greedy and barren heart was truly revealed. In his heart, there is nothing but desire and the pursuit of power. Compared to this, everything is insignificant, and everything can be sacrificed in exchange. "There are too many prejudices in this world, the nobles discriminate against the commoners, and the commoners discriminate against each other. The same person, as a noble child, becoming a knight is only the starting point, but as a commoner, becoming a knight is the end. I am not willing to accept such a fate, I want to get a position that matches my ability, I want to know what I can do, I want to know what my limit is! Since no one can push me from behind, then I can only get a chance by doing things that others can't do!"

His voice was high-pitched and high-pitched, as if he were now in a silent and uninhabited field, vowing to the night sky. "I don't hate your father, but he exists like an ant compared to my target. In order to step up the ladder, there must be stepping stones. I made a plan at the beginning, and then everything was done according to my original plan, and it was as simple as that. As for your brother, your mother, all I can say is that from the moment you take the first step, there is no turning back. I had to do this in order to prevent future troubles. But I still haven't done it to get you out. This mistake almost turned into a big problem, but fortunately it is not too late to make up for it today. ”

"Is that all?" replied from outside the sarcophagus. Then she let out a low voice, but Hassel couldn't tell if she was crying or laughing.

After a long time, Scarlet finally stopped.

"But I really want to know what happened to you that made you suddenly have the power you have now. ”

"You won't understand. Scarlet said. "You don't know what I have encountered and what I have sacrificed! But in the case of my father, perhaps you are right. My father was a bit stupid, that's why he fell for your plot. But, Hassel, you should also be aware, you should have known that you would be punished for your evil deeds!"

"Retribution? What is that? I've seen wicked people who do all kinds of evil die, and I've seen good people who have always done good die on the streets. I have seen incompetent people with power and power, and I have also seen people with wisdom and courage fall on the battlefield with regret. If you're going to make me believe in retribution, then try it. You want to hurt me, unless it's a miracle! With that, he burst into a big laugh.

I don't need to open this sarcophagus. Scarlet replied. "I saw that there were a couple of ventilation holes on it. ”

"Even if you have a thin enough arrow, it's useless," Hassel certainly knew the details of the sarcophagus, "and the holes are oblique, and even if you shoot an arrow at the hole/eye, you won't be able to hit me." ”

Scarlet didn't answer, she seemed to be doing something serious, or something. But Hassel knew that it was completely futile. Scarlet couldn't have opened this sarcophagus by her own strength.

Something cold was flowing on him. Hassel was in a hurry in surprise, and it took him a long time to figure out that it was the water that was flowing in. I don't know where the water came from flowed into the sarcophagus along the vents, wetting his body.

"You...... You...... What did you do?" he shouted a little angrily.

"I just fetched a bucket of water from the door and brought it in. Scarlet replied outside the sarcophagus. "You must know that there is a well outside the road, very close. And this bucket is hung directly on the well. ”

"How did you get out of here?" the door ...... That door...... How can it be?

"When I came in, I picked the lock with my sword. Scarlet replied in a very casual tone. Although he couldn't see her face, Hassel could imagine the look on the other person's face. "The door was blown shut by the wind. ”

"How...... How...... Probably ......"

"By the way, I just calculated, the sarcophagus is actually not very large, plus your body, about fifteen buckets of water will be filled. Hassel," Scarlet said coldly. "Let's take a gamble. Let you see if your retribution will come. If your guards arrive within the time it takes me to get fifteen buckets of water, I may be forced to leave. Instead, this sarcophagus becomes a place where you bury your bones. ”

After saying this, it was quiet outside again, and Scarlet should have left to fetch the second bucket of water.

Hassel was immersed in the water, stunned for a while, and then suddenly, he realized what was going to happen. He began to pound the sarcophagus vigorously and shouted loudly.

But unfortunately, this sarcophagus is really very strong, and the house itself is a very solid warehouse. As with all large, sturdy buildings, his shouts were quickly absorbed by the vast space of the warehouse. His voice couldn't be separated from the building, let alone be heard.

The second bucket of water was quickly poured into the sarcophagus.

"Come on, who's going to pay attention......" Hassel cursed his stupidity with all his might, cursing the subordinate who had come up with this bad idea. But there was no regret medicine in any world, and the third bucket of water was quickly poured into the sarcophagus. Now, if he lay still, the water could already fill half of his body.

He continued to shout until his mouth was dry. He then began praying, praying to the gods of the Star Field, hoping that the patrol would arrive in time to detect his crisis and save him. It really took a miracle, and in order not to scare away the prey, the patrols only visited once every two or three hours. These are specially explained and strictly enforced.

His prayers were not exchanged for salvation, but for the fourth, fifth, and sixth buckets of water. He could no longer lie down, and had to rely on his elbows to prop up half of his body to get himself out of the water.

He felt a strong crisis, but there was nothing he could do about it at the moment. This sarcophagus can't be opened by one person, and it's the same for Scarlet or for him. And even if you open it, it's pointless.,Scarlet waits outside.。

"Wait a minute, Scarlet, let's make a deal...... his mind raced, trying to buy himself a little time, if not a little time.

No one answered outside the sarcophagus, only the water kept flowing in.

To say that this period of time is not long, the miracle he prayed for did not happen, and the entire sarcophagus has been basically filled with water. As the sarcophagus gradually filled with water, Hassel was forced to lift his face out of the water, seeking air in a position extremely close to the vent.

For the first time, he felt so helpless. Although he does not hesitate to kill others, when it is his turn to become a lamb under the butcher's knife, he shows a strong instinct for survival, and will do whatever it takes to survive. It was a paradox, for reason had told him that he had fallen into the hands of an enemy who could not forgive him. Objectively speaking, when you fall into such a bad state, it is the right thing to do with dignity, because no matter what you do, it is useless. But the truth is completely the opposite, as Scarlet continues to pour water into the sarcophagus, Hassel repeatedly pleads, cries, prays, curses, and threats. In short, he has done everything that can be done with words, no matter how humiliating, undignified, or ridiculous he has said. Of course, these words did not have any effect, and the water in the sarcophagus was still increasing.

Now, no matter how hard he tried, only half of his head was left exposed. He was submerged in water from the ear down, and the rest was just a bucket of water. By the time the last bucket of water is poured into the sarcophagus, there will be no breathing gaps. He's going to drown here.

Death was already hovering over his head. For the first time, he felt the horror of death so really, and now closely.
