There was another person trapped in a cage.
The cage was not big and looked pitch black, so it was probably not made of iron. But under the firelight, it felt hard.
The person in the cage had his hands burned by chains, and his body kept shaking, making miserable noises.
When I got closer, I saw that there were countless red insects in the cage.
Those insects almost wrapped up the man, and their long mouthparts pierced into his flesh and blood, continuously sucking the blood from his body.
I think that man has been locked in the cage for a long time. His body has become skinny and his eyes are dark and lifeless.
Perhaps noticing the approach of the blood-red man, the man struggled to stand up from the cage, but after spending a long time's effort, he still fell down inside the cage.
I don't know how that man survived. I even saw red worms drilling into his skin and flesh.
Perhaps, the person in the cage is just a shell at this moment, and his stomach may be full of those red worms.
When I think about this, I find it extremely terrifying.
The tingling sensation in my head continued, and my nerves felt like they were cut by a knife, causing a dull pain.
The two men who had been tortured to death were already overwhelmed, with deathly looks on their faces, and it seemed they could not hold on for much longer.
The two blood-red figures next to me stayed here only for a short while.
One of the blood-red people sneered and said to me with a crooked mouth, "Boy, come here and wait for death. We will torture you to death. Unless you destroy your own soul, you will suffer unspeakably."
After saying that, two blood-red men dragged me to the side.
When I got there, I was shocked to find a huge pot in front of me.
There was boiling hot oil in the big pot, and blazing firewood was piled under the pot.
My heart suddenly lifted up and was beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of my throat.
I already knew what these two blood-red guys wanted to do, they wanted to fry me.
how so
I felt a wave of fear in my heart.
"Where is this place? Why are you doing this to me?"
I screamed in fear and tried to break free from the blood-red men on both sides.
But they didn't give me a chance at all.
I don't know when, the blood-red man on my left had a red-hot iron rod in his hand. The tip of the iron rod was pointed and already burning red.
But the blood-red man was not afraid of the red heat of the iron rod and just grabbed it directly.
Seeing that I was resisting, the blood-red man directly stabbed the iron rod into my lower abdomen.
"Ah!" I screamed in pain.
When the red-hot iron rod pierced into the flesh, it made a sizzling sound like oil. That sound terrified me.
Because of the pain, a lot of cold sweat instantly seeped out of my forehead and back.
I know that at this moment, my intestines have probably been pierced and roasted to half-cookedness.
I screamed and grimaced, my face was distorted and deformed, and the stabbing pain in my head became more and more intense.
"Hey, kid, how about it, isn't it fun?"
The blood-red man on the right said this coldly with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
I found that at this time, my tongue seemed to be curled and the sounds I made became unclear.
My body was shaking as if it were exposed to severe cold.
But it's so hot here, there's not a bit of chill at all.
I didn't say a word, my body just huddled on the ground, like
A tiny insect with a body.
The two blood-red men were still talking and occasionally looked at me.
After listening for a long time, I finally realized that they were simply insulting me.
Although I was very angry, I had no strength left in my body and had become a lamb to be slaughtered.
The blood-red man on the right stopped talking and suddenly asked me: "Boy, I'm afraid you don't want to be tortured either? If you don't want to endure the torture, like those two people, I can give you a chance to die. As long as you destroy your soul, you will become a dead person and will never suffer this pain again."
Let me destroy my own soul
What do these two guys mean.
For a moment, I lay on the ground in a daze, thinking about what they said.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the blood-red man on the right raised his foot and kicked me hard on the back.
His feet were bare, but they were extremely hard, and when he kicked me, my back made a "crunching" sound. I knew my spine must have been broken.
Along with the pain, there was a tingling sensation inside my head.
My mouth was twitching, but my tongue feels much better.
I asked them in a trembling voice: "Who are you? What do you want to do?"
The two blood-red men looked at each other, and then laughed creepily together.
"Why, kid, do you still want to suffer?" The blood-red man on the left said darkly.
I naturally don't want to suffer, but why am I here
I haven't figured out where this place is yet.
I gritted my teeth, said nothing, and circulated the good energy in my body.
I didn't expect that just as the Yin De Qi was rising from my body, ghost Qi came out from the blood-red bodies on both sides. As soon as I raised my hand, the rich ghost Qi hit me hard.
The ghostly energy was dark black in color, extremely cold and powerful, and it directly consumed all the good energy in my body.
So powerful? I was shocked.
At the same time, I have realized that these two blood-red people are not humans, but ghosts.
They are extremely powerful ghosts, and their strength is estimated to be stronger than that of the Ghost King. I don't have the strength to resist them at all.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, the voice of the blood-red man on the right became fierce, and he asked sternly: "Boy, are you going to destroy your soul or not? If not, let's start."
As he spoke, the blood-red man on the right looked at the cauldron of boiling oil next to him.
That pot was prepared for me.
The stabbing pain in my head grew stronger and stronger, as if my spirit and soul were about to collapse.
I suddenly remembered everything that happened before.
I entered the City of the Dead first, and then the evil ghost Ma Sanpo shook the three-colored bell.
I can’t remember what happened after that.
Could it be that the evil ghost Ma Sanpo's sneak attack was successful, and I have been killed by him and turned into a ghost
I looked down at my hands and my aching belly, and realized that this was my physical body.
In other words, the person who appears here is me, but what is going on
How come I am here
I slowly closed my eyes and thought about this question.
Suddenly, I thought of the illusion.
Could it be that I was brought into an illusion? My body seemed real, but it only appeared in my consciousness.
In fact, these are all fake.
Are they all fake
My eyes focused on the "spirit", trying to see this place clearly.
But even if I focused my "spiritual" eyes, everything I saw was bloody, and I couldn't tell where this place was.
What is the place
And those two blood-red figures disappeared before my eyes.
The big iron pot and other things also disappeared.
Even the wound left by the stab wound on my lower abdomen disappeared.
What is going on
However, when I was thinking about these things, the "spirit" in my eyes seemed to be blocked by something.
Then, I was back in the blood-red space.
The two blood-red men were still standing in front of me, saying something fiercely to me.
In a trance, I already understood that this was an illusion.
My consciousness has been trapped in the illusion.
Thinking about the three-colored bell that appeared in the hand of the evil ghost Ma Sanpo, I suddenly realized and thought that it was most likely the three-colored bell that was the reason.
But I don’t know how to get rid of this illusion.
The blood-red man on the right stared at me maliciously and said angrily, "Boy, have you thought it through? Do we want to fry you or do you want to destroy your own soul?"
I pretended not to understand what he meant and asked, "How do I destroy my soul?"
The blood-red man on the right thought I had communicated with him, so he said coldly: "It's very simple. You are a ghost-catching Taoist priest. You can drive your soul out of your body. As long as your soul leaves your body and recites the spell I taught you, your soul will shatter on its own."
Then, the blood-red man on the right uttered a string of spells in a dry voice.
But that string of spells was not a magic spell, but a string of ghost spells.
When that string of ghost curses came out of the blood-red man's mouth, the soul in my body began to tremble slightly.
I firmly believe what the blood-red man said, that as long as one recites the ghost spell, one can destroy one's soul.
But why would I do that? If I did that, wouldn’t I be a fool
In the distance, the two tortured people were on the verge of death.
The man who was hooked by the iron hook had closed his eyes and a faint ghostly aura appeared on his body.
The blood-red man swinging the whip said to the hanging man, "Drive your soul out. After it comes out, recite the ghost spell and you will be free."
The man slowly raised his eyes, looked at the blood-red man holding the whip, and then he recited the ghost curse.
As the ghost curse continued to be recited, a rare smile appeared on the man's face.
The moment his soul left his body, it shattered and turned into white mist.
That person has completely become a fool, an unconscious fool.
In the distance, the man in the cage was bitten by the red bugs and his skin and flesh were torn. He could not hold on any longer and shouted loudly: "I am willing to destroy my soul, I am willing..."
The blood-red man guarding the cage sneered and taught the man the ghost spell.
Soon the ghost curse was chanted by the person in the cage.
The man's soul left his body and shattered in an instant.
Soon, his body slid into the cage and was annihilated by the red bugs.
Seeing me staring at the two people, the blood-red man on my left snorted coldly and said lightly: "See clearly, they have destroyed their souls because they could not bear the torture. This is their fate. Now that their fate is over, they can no longer feel pain!"
The blood-red man on the right also added fuel to the fire, saying, "Boy, you'd better be smart, otherwise, you will be tortured endlessly and unable to die. But you can choose not to be tortured and destroy your own soul. This is the best outcome for you."
I listened to what these two blood-red men said and laughed out loud with disdain.
