Cold and wet.
The squeaking sounds of rodents echoed in my ears, sharp and piercing.
Chen Lun opened his eyes with difficulty, and a 90-degree tilted picture appeared in Mo Hu's sight, making him feel extremely unreal and detached.
"Hey man, what do we do with these guys?"
"Heh... According to the priest, they will be sacrificed tonight."
Chen Lun covered his stomach and struggled to get up from the ground.
He held onto the slippery and disgusting wall, enduring the burning hunger in his stomach.
As his vision slowly returned to normal, Chen Lun slowly regained his true feelings.
In the dim environment, he looked intently towards the source of the sound. Beyond the iron bars of the prison, he saw two tall and thin figures in leather coats standing at the door.
These were two men, who were leaning casually against the torches on the corridor wall, leaving behind two shadowy shadows. Chen Lun noticed that both of them had a short sword on their waists.
"Where am I?"
Chen Lun was a little confused.
He vaguely remembered that he was playing a holographic online game called "Mysterious Age". It was the strongest masterpiece of the new generation, without a doubt. Countless players around the world spent their sleeping time in this game.
Efficient use of sleep time has long been a truth recognized by the new generation, and holographic games are one of the main ways. Among them, "Strange Age" is the pioneering work and is undisputedly rated as the most popular game world.
Chen Lun's memory still lingers on the last moment, when he lay down in the sleeping cabin and the door slowly closed and connected to the game world...
"What happened in the end...?"
As he was recalling the past, he suddenly felt a sharp pain at the back of his head. Chen Lun hissed and reached out to touch the back of his head, only to feel a warm and sticky sensation on his palm.
In the dim light of the fire, he saw some blood on his hands that had not completely dried.
Chen Lun cursed inwardly.
"What the hell! I was shot in the head!?"
A scene he had seen in a short video suddenly emerged in his mind. At a barbecue stall, a burly old man swung a beer bottle and smashed it on another man's head. The bottle shattered and the man fell straight down. Everyone in the comment section said good night.
Chen Lun shook his head slightly and stopped thinking about it.
He didn't know what happened to him. Maybe there was a malfunction in the sleeping cabin equipment and he died peacefully in his sleep.
So what now
Am I still in the game? Or...
"Brother Will's team hasn't produced any results in several months. I hope this group of guys can surprise you tonight."
"Hey, I think you're addicted to alcohol, and you've started to have unrealistic fantasies for the reward of 200 copper kro..."
The tall and thin figure couldn't help coughing, as if there was phlegm stuck in his throat. He moistened his throat with saliva, let out a long breath, and said with a sinister smile:
"With that damn thing in our group, it would be useless even if we put in a few hundred lives!"
"What does it matter... Anyway, these guys are orphans adopted by the church since they were young, and it's time for them to dedicate themselves to the church!"
The two guards slowly turned their heads and looked into the prison with their backs to the light.
"It's okay to die. If there is any result and the priest is happy, we can also get money..."
"Hahahahaha..."
Two pairs of cold eyes swept over Chen Lun, who quickly lowered his head and avoided their gazes.
After a while, the footsteps faded away, and Chen Lun only vaguely heard the two guards agreeing to go out for a drink, and someone else would come to take over their shift soon.
But Chen Lun still kept his head down.
If someone looked up at his face from below, they would see that he was in shock.
Just now, when the two guards turned around, Chen Lun caught a glimpse of the pattern on the side of their hats. Under the light of the torch, it was a shining red apple pattern.
"Red Apple Church..."
Chen Lun muttered the name.
How is it possible!
Wasn't the Red Apple Church in "The Secret Age" completely destroyed two years ago? Why did it appear again now!
I traveled back in time!
wrong!
"Quit the game!"
Chen Lun raised his head and muttered to himself.
After waiting for two full minutes, Chen Lun didn't dare to breathe, but nothing happened.
His heart sank when he found that the translucent data frame he remembered did not appear in his sight.
At the same time, he noticed that there were seven or eight other young men and women imprisoned in the prison.
In the dim and damp environment, they huddled together and huddled against the wall. Most of them wore only a thin and tattered linen shirt and were barefoot, like animals to be slaughtered and abandoned here.
Trembling and saying nothing.
Chen Lun stood up tremblingly. He was basically sure of one thing.
He most likely really traveled through time, not just to the past, but also to the game world of "Mysterious Age"!
What awaits him will be the sacrifice from the mouths of the two guards.
"Tonight..."
Chen Lun rubbed his face in frustration, not realizing that his hands, which were leaning against the wall just now, were stained with moss and dirt, making his entire face dirty.
He endured the intense hunger, raised his feet weakly, and walked slowly to the prison door.
The movement was very light and slow, but it attracted the attention of other people in the prison. There was a hint of confusion in their frightened eyes, and they didn't understand what this guy who was locked up with them wanted to do.
Chen Lun stroked the cold iron bars with his hands and then held them tightly.
He looked around and saw that the corridor with torches hanging every few meters was empty.
Chen Lun took a deep breath, then began to exert force with his hands, slightly shaking the prison bars, but they did not move at all. He tried to push the door again, but the iron door was stronger and heavier than the bars.
"Don't waste your energy."
The sudden sound startled Chen Lun, and he looked at a woman in the cell opposite.
In the firelight, the woman's dirty face was expressionless, with a hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.
“No one who was captured here has ever escaped.”
The woman was sitting at the door of her cell, with her head stuck between two iron bars, staring straight at Chen Lun.
"Even if we escape from here, there are still countless guards outside... and even those monsters!"
Having said this, Chen Lun saw extreme anxiety and fear in her eyes.
"They will all die, and die miserably... hehe..."
The woman stretched out her hand from the prison. Her arm was very white, but the moving eyeballs on it ruined the beauty, leaving a twisted and grotesque look of disgust.
"Look! I'm going to die too, just like them, hehehahahaha!"
Chen Lun suddenly felt nauseous and retched, and his head felt like it had been hit by a hammer.
He suddenly felt the world spinning around him, and he fell backwards.
Everyone in the prison cried out in surprise.
At the last moment before he fell into a coma, a voice seemed to ring in Chen Lun's mind:
Witness the mysterious pollution! Sanity value decreased by 1 point!
Attention! When the sanity value is 0, you will enter an instant death state! The current sanity value is 4/5!
