Episode 208 Purgatory
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and although the time was short, many things could happen even in the moment when the white horse passed by.
After two days of recuperation, Ye Qiuxiang's injuries had completely healed, and she was summoned to the rudder's hall early that morning.
When Ye Qiuxiang came to the council hall, she only saw the Heavenly Spider Girl alone.
The Spider Maiden stood in the center of the room, with her back to the door, and said in a deep voice without looking back, "You are here." ”
"Yes, what does the master command?" Ye Qiuxiang seemed to be in good spirits, but there was no expression on her face.
"What's wrong with your injuries?" asked the Spider Girl faintly.
"Thank you for your concern, it's fine. Ye Qiuxiang said.
"That's good. After speaking, the Heavenly Spider Girl turned around and looked at Ye Qiuxiang through the cold mask, and then said again: "Merit should be rewarded, and guilt should be punished, do you know what crimes you committed this time?"
"Tell me about it. ”
"I ...... I mutilated my fellow disciples, I didn't do my job well, I failed to win the divine soldiers, and I deserve death!" Ye Qiuxiang said and fell to her knees, bowing her head and saying nothing.
"Is that all?". The Celestial Spider Girl's tone was already quite grim.
Ye Qiuxiang thought about it, and finally nodded silently.
"Do you want to think about it again?" asked the Spider Girl again, "Is there really none?"
"No more. Ye Qiuxiang raised her head and replied calmly.
"Bastard!" the Celestial Spider Girl suddenly snorted angrily and said, "If it's just to kill your fellow disciples, you actually killed your own master?"
Ye Qiuxiang was shocked when she heard this, and hurriedly retorted: "I didn't kill him, right...... Yes......" She wanted to say that it was Ma Zhongxia's killer, but after thinking about it, Ma Zhong was not only her lover, but also her life-saving benefactor, and she always felt that it was difficult to speak, and she couldn't say these three words anyway, so she had to swallow it back, and her words became messy and confused, and she seemed a little flustered.
"Do you want to say that it was the one who called Ma Zhong to kill?" said the Celestial Spider Girl, "What's the difference between that and what you killed?"
"Yes, the subordinate confessed his sin and was willing to die. Ye Qiuxiang was calm in her heart, and she had already put life and death out of the way at this moment. Death seemed to her to be a relief.
"You want to die? You should know that capital sin is not something that people like you can enjoy. The Celestial Spider Girl said, "You have also made a very serious mistake of principle, that is, you have feelings for a man, do you know the mistake?"
This time, Ye Qiuxiang didn't nod her head, didn't say a word, only bit her lip and remained silent.
"Okay, don't think I really can't discipline you. The Celestial Spider Maiden nodded and said, "Do you know why I want you to take care of your injuries?"
Ye Qiuxiang has always had this question, and she has been worried for a long time, and when she heard this question at this moment, she couldn't help but feel nervous, but she didn't speak.
"That's because I was going to put you in purgatory for death early in the morning! If you are injured, I am afraid that you will die in a day, so in order to let you survive a little longer, and also give you a chance to survive, I will let you recover from your injuries. The Spider Girl told the truth word by word.
When Ye Qiuxiang heard this, it was like a bolt of lightning that struck her head, her body shook suddenly, she raised her head in shock, and looked at the expressionless Sky Spider Girl in a daze, unable to speak for a long time.
Purgatory is a prison, and the reason why it is called death is because there is no one who is imprisoned who does not want to end his life quickly. Although the criminal law inside is not enough to cause death, the physical and mental damage of the condemned person is thousands of times more unbearable than death, and many people cannot support it before the end of the sentence, so they go to Huangquan Road early.
Ye Qiuxiang had thought of many ways to die, and also thought of many ways to be punished, but she never dared to think about what it would be like to enter the "Death Purgatory". At this moment, she was sentenced to enter the human purgatory that even ghosts and gods would be afraid of, and the panic and panic can be imagined.
"No...... Don't send me there, please......" Ye Qiuxiang was extremely panicked, and finally couldn't help but beg for mercy.
"It's too late to know your mistake now, and if you come out alive in a month's time, I will no longer care about it, and I will regain your freedom. The Spider Girl paused before she said, "As for whether you can survive this month, it depends on your creation." After speaking, the five fingers of his right hand shot out silver threads to tie Ye Qiuxiang's upper body firmly, and then ordered his subordinates to come in and take her down.
Ye Qiuxiang knew that there was no room for maneuver, and in the end she didn't say anything, and was forcibly taken away by someone who pushed and shoved.
Not long after, the Heavenly Spider Girl called the female prison officer in charge of the women's prison, the poisonous scorpion, and said to her: "Wait a minute, a woman named Ye Qiuxiang will be sent to the purgatory for death, she is my subordinate, she has followed me for many years, you can give her a little bitterness to taste, don't make trouble, you know?"
"I see, I know what to do. The scorpion said, "We have always been merciful to the sinners in purgatory, and we will never take their lives, you know that." ”
The Spider Girl snorted lightly and said, "Your so-called mercy is only afraid that you will make people die and live, right?" I don't want you to take extra care of her, but she still has use value, no matter what tricks you use, as long as she is conscious, I don't want her to die in prison, do you understand?".
"I completely understand!" the poisonous scorpion smiled coldly and said, "I don't know what crime this person named Ye Qiuxiang has committed?"
"Later, I will send you the details of the charges as is customary, so you don't have to ask more than once. The Celestial Spider Girl said.
"Okay, if there's nothing else to do, I'll take my leave. ”
The Spider Girl nodded, watching the scorpion leave.
Ye Qiuxiang fainted at some point, and when she woke up, she found that she had already been locked on the torture rack. The so-called torture frame is actually a sturdy iron frame fixed in the prison, with two locks on the top and bottom, which lock the hands and feet of the prisoner respectively.
No matter how big the manpower locked in the torture rack is, it is difficult to break free, and those who have a high level of cultivation will correspondingly use more reliable torture racks and chains, in short, according to the level of cultivation of the prisoner, the torture rack is divided into three levels: high, medium and low. Cultivators like Ye Qiuxiang happened to be placed on the intermediate torture rack.
The reason why the inmates were not given medicine was because retaining the skills of the parties would make it more difficult for them to resist, in other words, they would suffer a lot more.
The first person Ye Qiuxiang saw when she opened her eyes was a poisonous scorpion.
The poisonous scorpion was holding a leather whip in his hand at the moment, squinting at the poor beauty in front of him.
"Are you...... Who is it?" Ye Qiuxiang was a little confused, looked at the strange woman in front of her in a daze, and slowly asked.
"I'm a prison officer here, and people call me a scorpion. The poisonous scorpion was a little proud when it came to his title, and seemed to enjoy this analogy, and after a pause, he said coldly: "But in fact, I am not a poisonous scorpion, I am a woman who is thousands of times more poisonous and ruthless than a poisonous scorpion!"
