Chapter 455: Prisoner Imprisonment
Listening to the somewhat creepy gasp, Bai Junqian and the three of them continued to walk forward.
I saw that the doors of the small rooms on both sides were made of steel plates, and Lingxi stretched out his hand to touch it, and in an instant it was a spirit, and a cold breath spread rapidly from his fingertips.
On closer inspection, there was no window in the door of these small rooms, only a small hole, the size of a thumb.
The lights and candles in the walkway were also very faint, and the light of the fire was a little weak in the humid air. There is only one candle every ten meters, and the walkway is dim, which adds to the sense of unease.
Lingxi vigilantly approached the nearest door and looked through the small hole in the door.
At this moment, the wheezing sound in the small room seemed to disappear suddenly, and the world inside the hole was pitch black, as if there was nothing.
So Lingxi took a few more steps, found another door, and looked inside. The candlelight here was faint, and by the dim light, Bai Junqian suddenly caught a glimpse of a silver light flashing through the pores, and the light blinked quickly, and when he looked closely, it was actually a human eye! But it was like a wolf's hungry eyes, full of ferocity and greed.
Lingxi was slightly startled, stepped back, and retreated into Bai Junqian's arms before calming down. There was another strange sound coming out of the door, as if the throat was blocked by some foreign object, and the sound of hard friction mixed with the rolling of saliva was extremely dull.
Bai Junqian also walked through several small rooms in a row, and what he saw was the same as Bai Lingxi, and some could hear them moving inside the door.
Bai Junqian pondered for a while, and said, "The living creatures in this gate, I don't know if they are human or non-human, in short, they are very similar. I just don't know why I'm locked up here?"
At this moment, the small hole in the door closest to Lingxi suddenly stretched out a long and sharp claw, hooking Lingxi's clothes, Lingxi was shocked, and hurriedly retreated, and in a hurry, he directly cut off the claw with a sword.
The creature let out a scream and retreated into the room, but Lingxi could clearly hear its smug chuckle inside.
The laughter was hoarse and low, like a finger claw scratching at a worn drum skin.
The voice didn't laugh, but when it did, the whole aisle became noisy. Laughter, cries, babbling, babbling, like the screams of wild beasts, screams of pain, and so on.
Bai Junqian shouted badly, and sure enough, the guards in the distance were immediately alarmed, so the three of them had to quickly retreat to the end of the trail to hide.
The pawn hurried with torches, the fire was dazzling, and he shouted at the small chambers: "What are you laughing at, what are you making trouble, what are you talking about!"
The group gasped loudly for a moment, refusing to be quiet, and the pawn carried a bucket of water in his hand and poured it into the rooms, and suddenly the group screamed in pain, hissed, and obediently calmed down, and the air was filled with a sour smell.
Lingxi covered his nose in shock, looked at Bai Junqian and said: "The liquid that is spilled is actually green alum oil, and if it is touched, it will burn and erode the skin and flesh, which is extremely painful and cruel. What kind of criminal law, so ruthless, can pour alum oil on these living creatures?" Lingxi couldn't understand at all.
At this time, the guard had already gone away, so the three of them searched in again, and after a little regret, they stopped staying one by one, all the way forward, the more they walked, the more frightened they became, and the stone steps extended to the ground, and there was no end in sight, they didn't expect this space to be so big!
The three of them continued to walk, and the steps under their feet turned along the stone wall, and then snaked downward. The light of the fire was like a beast looming above them, and a huge shadow appeared on their faces.
From time to time, a strange sound was heard, and Lingxi's eyebrows and eyes trembled in the place illuminated by the firelight, and then before and after, the nose and mouth hidden in the dark would be exposed to the light again, only for a moment, and then the whole face would be darkened again, becoming a black silhouette.
And so on and so forth.
The footsteps were dull and long, like ticking time.
Originally, because the trail was too narrow, Lingxi and Bai Junqian, who did not hold hands anymore. At this time, the atmosphere was gloomy, Lingxi subconsciously grabbed Bai Junqian's wrist, and he stopped abruptly and turned around as he walked in front. The candle flame was very dim, and the path seemed more and more secluded, but Bai Junqian's eyes were clear.
Bai Junqian watched Lingxi stare at him for a long time, and then his eyebrows curled up slightly, laughed, and spread his palms.
Lingxi was confused for a moment before letting go of his wrist and taking his hand instead.
Immediately, her hand was tightly grasped by him, and her fingers were interlocked, which was very reassuring.
"It's a long time coming. Nanfeng's face was hidden in deep shadows, and his voice was low, with a kind of emotionless coldness. This sentence is even more meaningful, difficult to understand.
I don't know how many jumping paths and small rooms have been crossed, and finally a huge circular pit finally appeared in front of me.
"Wait. Bai Junqian stopped Lingxi and Bai Junqian, and threw a stone from his hand, and the small stone was quickly drowned in the darkness, and it sounded for a while, and the sound was crisp and unfamiliar.
The three of them stepped forward quickly, and their eyes were immediately opened—as if they had seen purgatory on earth!
Layer after layer of space stretches down from the pit, and I don't know how deep it is. The further down they went, the wider they became, and each floor was arranged as they had just seen: paths, small chambers, pawns patrolling back and forth, countless living creatures imprisoned in the chambers...... The endless darkness underground, illuminated by layers of candle flames, is still eerie and not like hell, and the gusts of bloody wind are disgusting.
The three of them finally believed that there was really a huge prison under this Liutong Manor, which was deep underground, and there were no more layers there.
They remembered what the man had told them about the "seven layers of hell" beneath the Liutong Manor in Jinlai City, which had been passed down by word of mouth, and now it seemed to be true.
It's just that this hell is not only seven layers, but also ....... Lingxi was shocked in his heart: Could it be that the so-called 'living creatures' seen in those small chambers are all human beings?
Why did they grow such sharp claws, and what made them like this? It is impossible for them to fall into the Demon Path, at least not to think that they are so terrifying and like beasts, and no one has the senses to think about them.
Who could have built such a large underground prison on such a large scale? Is it enough to have a mere Liutong manor?
Nanfeng was also a little surprised after seeing this, and thought for a while and said to himself: "Liutong Manor is a special news, and it seems to have a close relationship with the imperial court...... Could it be that all the people in this hell are secret prisoners in the Ying Kingdom's court?"
When Lingxi heard this, he only felt as if he was facing a huge and hidden mystery, and now it seemed that he had to find out, and after a battle of thoughts, he finally came up with a plan.
Lurking on the side at the moment, a pawn soon came to patrol. Behind him were a few people, whispering something.
When they had dispersed, they struck quickly, remembering the leading pawn, and changed into his clothes, and then knocked out two more pawns in succession, so that all three of them were above the pawns, and then they walked towards the circular pit in the middle.
On the edge of the twisted giant pit, there is an elevator, and it is driven by a spirit stone, which is much more convenient than manpower, and can also reduce unnecessary trouble.
This elevator, vertically downward, I don't know where it leads, Lingxi They didn't dare to make a rash move, watching those many pawns take the elevator back and forth between the layers of "hell".
