Chapter Ninety-Three: Fear of the Unknown
Even the inside wasn't very dirty, but it looked like it had been empty for a long time, covered with a thick layer of dust and large cobwebs, and the three of them were about to finish the prison as they walked.
But there was still not a single prisoner or guard, as if the place was a deserted prison. Seeing such a scene, Yu Qingxuan was the happiest, and she said to Gao Yuan with a happy face:
"Senior Brother Gao, how about it, I said that this prison must be suitable for hiding, you see that this place is empty, and the environment is not very bad, but there is just a damp and moldy smell."
"Why don't we consolidate our cultivation here and stay until the end of these two months, I have just entered the refining realm, and many techniques have not yet been practiced."
Gao Yuan didn't interface immediately, but turned his head to look at Liu Feiyan and said:
"Senior Sister Liu, I think this place is very weird, there is not a single prisoner or guard, this is very unreasonable, it stands to reason that such a large building, how can it be empty."
"Could it be that this demon city doesn't need criminals at all? Anyone who has committed a crime has been eaten by those monsters? So what is the purpose of building such a prison? Isn't it redundant?"
Although Liu Feiyan has a cold temperament, her IQ is extremely high, and she quickly analyzed why this is the case.
"Senior Brother Gao, I think it's very likely that this is the case, maybe this prison existed before this group of demons and ghosts occupied this city."
"And after they occupy it, there will be no more prisoners, you see that even the prefect is an outlier, not to mention that this up and down arrest must be very human."
"I'm afraid that although he has the heart to learn from the mortal people and set up a yamen, but after the case is decided, the whereabouts of these prisoners are estimated to be extremely miserable, and Bacheng was caught and secretly eaten by these officials."
"Or maybe they built this place after all, just to imitate a mortal city, after all, there are still a lot of mortals living in this city"
This place is really terrifying, did they kill the real prefect and occupy the city, or did they build this city in the first place?
When Liu Feiyan said this, she also felt a little embarrassed, many mortals would not even know that the city they lived in was controlled by demons and monsters in their lives.
And although we monks are a little more advanced, after entering this ruin, we will also be swayed by the mysterious voice, aren't we also like mortals, maybe we are just slightly larger ants.
There may be no difference in essence, but when will people not be controlled by others like marionettes, and when will they be able to control their own destiny?
This question was destined to leave no one to answer her..................
And just when Liu Feiyan was a little distracted, she seemed to hear a burst of words, as if someone was calling not far away, and the voice was very weak, and even a little intermittent.
Liu Feiyan didn't know if she had heard it wrong, so she immediately asked:
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Sister Yu, did you two hear it just now, but a faint human voice appeared, as if it was coming from not far from us!"
"No, I didn't hear any human voices, did you hear Senior Sister Liu wrong" Gao Yuan was silent in the words Liu Feiyan said just now, and he was also a little distracted, but he didn't hear any human voices.
And Yu Qingxuan also shook his head, saying that he didn't hear it, which made Liu Feiyan also puzzled, could it be that he really heard it wrong?
At this moment, the voice seemed to be significantly louder than just now, and even Gao Yuan and Liu Feiyan also heard it vaguely, as if to say:
"Come here..... come to me..... ahem... Come here.........."
At this moment, the three of them couldn't help but change color at the same time, it seemed that there was really someone, but this voice didn't sound like a human voice, the voice was ethereal, hoarse, weak, and intermittent.
Yu Qingxuan can be said to be the most timid of the three, and after hearing this, she was trembling, and involuntarily thought of those demons and ghosts. So she said nervously:
"Senior Brother Gao, Senior Sister Liu, I think we should go, this place doesn't look very safe..."
Liu Feiyan felt funny when she saw her appearance, and said in her heart that this is really a flower in a greenhouse, and she was scared like this when she only heard a voice, how can she go far on the road of cultivation.
At that moment, Liu Feiyan didn't care about her, and took the lead in the direction where the voice came from, but she wanted to see the truth and find out what the sound was coming from.
And Gao Yuan was naturally not frightened by this inexplicable voice, and he also followed Liu Feiyan's footsteps forward.
Seeing that only Yu Qingxuan was left, she clenched her silver teeth and stomped her feet fiercely, after all, she didn't dare to wait here by herself, so she hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with the two.
And after the last sentence of the voice, there was no more sound, and it seemed that all the strength had been exhausted, but fortunately, everyone had roughly judged the direction, so that they would not blindly search.
Then the three of them followed suit, constantly checking the cells on both sides, and after a cup of tea, they finally made a discovery, but it was Gao Yuan who was the first to discover something strange.
I saw that one of the cells was not empty, although it was also covered with thick dust and cobwebs, but it was clear that there was a humanoid creature inside.
Why is it a humanoid creature, because Gao Yuan really can't see what this thing is, but that cell is obviously different from other cells.
It could be two sizes of other cells, and in the middle of that cell there was clearly a humanoid on its head, and why was it on it, because there were eight thick chains made of unknown metal.
Piercing through his body, holding him tightly in the middle of the cell, and looking at the human creature, its long hair had been dragged to the ground, and even in many places it was completely knotted.
He couldn't see his face clearly at all, and the beard-like hair on his chin was also dragged to the ground for a long time, and his body was covered by these hairs.
At this moment, Gao Yuan leaned over the circular hole to watch, but suddenly found that the human creature seemed to move, and those thick chains also made a rattling sound.
In this silent prison, a distant echo was formed, and Liu Feiyan and Yu Qingxuan also heard the movement, and they all came over to watch.
Yu Qingxuan spoke first:
"Senior Brother Gao, is this a human or a demon, how can it be locked here, what should we do? Could it be that the voice just now came from here?"
Seeing the real thing at this moment, and obviously this existence that I don't know if it is a human or a demon is trapped here by the thick chains, Yu Qingxuan's courage finally grows.
In fact, people are sometimes like this, fear mostly comes from the unknown, if you see it with your own eyes, most of you will feel that it is nothing more than that, so that you will no longer feel afraid.
