Chapter Ninety-Seven: The Cruel Truth
"Wow"
Lin Yuanqing, who was in a coma, was woken up by a basin of cold water, he slowly raised his heavy head, it was cold and dark all around, and a bonfire was lit in the distance.
He found himself on his knees, his hands bound in chains, hanging in the air.
There was a tall black figure standing in front of him, he looked up to see the other person's face, trembling and trying to stand up, but was punched hard in the stomach, and the sharp pain made him fall to his knees again, retching.
The black shadow in front of him grabbed him by the hair and punched him in the face, almost causing him to faint again, but the man did not continue, but looked down at him quietly.
After the hot feeling on his face slowly subsided, Lin Yuanqing looked at the other party weakly, and it took a long time for him to see the other party clearly.
It was an unfamiliar face, expressionless, his eyes were empty and looking at Lin Yuanqing, he didn't seem to like people looking at him, seeing Lin Yuanqing looking at him, the man raised a kick and kicked Lin Yuanqing in the chest, kicking him away, and then he was pulled back to the ground by the chain, coughing up blood.
"Stop, if you continue to fight like this, you'll be killed. The big man grabbed Lin Yuanqing's hair, and when he was about to fight, a man's voice came from not far away.
The big man stopped and smashed his fist, turned and walked away, and then a person came from the source of the sound.
Lin Yuanqing half-squinted at the person who came, and the other party was wearing a short jacket in animal skin, which was the leader of the thieves in the mouth of the villagers.
The man came to Lin Yuanqing, circled around him twice, stood in front of him, opened his mouth and said, "You killed my brothers?"
Lin Yuanqing didn't answer, just tilted his head to look at the man in animal skin, the blood on his forehead flowed down the corner of his eyebrows, staining one of his eyes.
"Quite a temper. The other party smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I admire you a lot, and I am willing to stand up for this group of untouchables, if it were usual, I would definitely not embarrass you, but what, if you kill a few of my brothers, I can't spare you." ”
The man paused for a moment when he said this, squatted down, looked into Lin Yuanqing's eyes, and said, "What's the matter?
Lin Yuanqing lowered his head and still didn't speak.
"Okay, backbone. After the man finished speaking, he clapped his hands twice, and a few torches lit up not far away, Lin Yuanqing looked at the light and saw a large iron cage, which was locked up more than a dozen villagers from Liangxiu Village, all of whom were tied with their hands and feet and fell to the ground, and the old village chief was also among them, all of them showed extreme color, and a few people had yellow liquid flowing out of their trouser legs, but none of them made a sound.
"You!" Lin Yuanqing looked at the man in animal skin clothes fiercely, struggling to stand up, the man reached out and grabbed his neck and lifted him up.
"Shhh The man said calmly, and after saying that, he let go of his hand, and Lin Yuanqing fell to his knees and panted wildly.
"Engong!" The villagers in the cage in the distance heard the sound, and when they saw Lin Yuanqing, they couldn't help shouting, but then when they found that Lin Yuanqing's situation was not better than their own, the shouting stopped abruptly and looked at Lin Yuanqing tremblingly.
"Tsk, untouchables are really untouchables, you stand up for them, but they don't even dare to make a sound. The man said, shaking his head.
"They are not pariahs, but you are a beast. Lin Yuanqing didn't look as excited just now, but spoke in a flat tone.
"Oh, there's a good thing about being a beast, like this. The man waved his hand, and torches lit up one after another around him, and the environment suddenly brightened, Lin Yuanqing knew at this time that he was in a huge cave, and before he had time to look at the surrounding environment, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Opposite him was a neat row of huge iron cages, which were locked up by the monsters that had destroyed the village, their eyes closed and their faces pale, standing in a row as motionless as stone statues.
And next to these cages, there was a gray giant wolf that was sleeping, after the torch was lit, it opened its eyes, seemed to grin dissatisfied, and let out a low roar in its throat, the man raised his hand and pointed at it, the giant wolf actually stopped roaring, and his nostrils spewed out two clouds of white gas, twisted his body, and fell asleep again.
"With these 'corpse people', you can do whatever you want, what's the harm in being a beast?" the man opened his arms, looked at Lin Yuanqing who showed a shocked look, nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly.
"These..." Are these all living people?!" Lin Yuanqing looked at those "corpse people" blankly, and after a while, he lost his voice, it turned out that Lin Yuanqing had noticed something wrong when he fought with the corpse man before, but now after careful observation, he found that these corpses were all ordinary villagers, lacking hideous fangs and thick hair, and they were human beings.
"Exactly. ”
After hearing this, Lin Yuanqing turned his head to look at the village chief, and said in a trembling voice: "The village chief..."
And the village chief was in a daze, and he didn't pay attention to Lin Yuanqing.
"Looks like you don't know yet, right? The hairy boy doesn't know anything, he only knows how to stand out for others, and he doesn't even know how he died when the time comes. The man said smugly.
Lin Yuanqing suddenly felt like a fish in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
"Well, it seems that I have to explain it to you for the old village chief. The man walked to the iron cage with a smile, opened the cage door, picked up the village chief, walked towards Lin Yuanqing, and put the village chief in front of him.
"It's been three or four years since this happened, the villagers of several villages here have been living with plenty of food and clothing, and they are happy, who knows that one day, a group of devils fell from the sky, breaking the quiet life of the villagers, they burned, killed and looted, did all kinds of evil, and brought strange beasts and spirits to abuse their village, and what is even more terrifying is that they will capture some villagers from time to time, and then these villagers will never be seen again, no one will die, no corpse will be seen, but as you can see, they are all here. The man said, pointing to the corpse in the distance.
"However, this group of 'brave villagers' did not accept their fate, and they also sneaked out several times to ask some chivalrous people to save their village, and as a result, these are the chivalrous people. The man looked behind Lin Yuanqing, Lin Yuanqing also turned around with difficulty, and found that there was a row of black shadows standing not far behind him, everyone was holding different weapons, swords, guns, axes and swords, and they all stood there with their eyes closed like corpses, and then the man continued: "Later, these villagers slowly accepted their fate, who knows, a hairy boy came, killed the pig demon and a few demons, and rekindled their hope. ”
Lin Yuanqing had already understood when he heard this, he gasped heavily, gritted his teeth and said, "Devil!"
"You called me a beast just now, why have you become a devil again?" the man sneered, "You know everything you should know, and then you will be given two choices." ”
