I said in a deep voice: "Then tell me, why did he want to get us down?"
"This..." Tong Xiaoyao was silent for a moment and finally found a reason to convince herself, "Master wanted to open the Nine-Man Prison. Only when the four judges simultaneously believe that the prisoners are extremely evil and that not being sent to the Nine-Man Prison is not enough to punish them severely, will they open the Nine-Man Prison. Yes, my master lied to you just to open the Nine-Man Prison. And..."
Tong Xiaoyao added: "Moreover, unless you are brought to the point where you don't trust each other, the Fourth Judge will not use the Nine-Man Prison. Otherwise, it will be a chance for you to escape punishment."
I found a place to sit down: "Since you think Gu Piaoran is a good person, let's wait and see whose judgment is more correct."
After I finished speaking, I leaned against the wall and closed my eyes to rest. At this time, Ye Jin sent me a voice message: "Zhaozi, do you have any idea?"
"No." I also calmly transmitted my voice, "Gu Piaoran's trick this time is a bit fanciful. I don't understand what his purpose is at all. Let's take it one step at a time!"
Ye Jin sent a voice message again: "Then tell me, do those two girls know something?"
I responded, "I really don't understand it now. From the moment they fell, everything seemed reasonable, but I always felt that something was wrong. If Gu Piaoran really made mistakes so easily, he wouldn't be worthy of being the leader of Rumor Sect. I always felt that he deliberately let them in by mistake."
Ye Jin said, "You mean, he has the ability to open the Nine-Man Cell from the outside and get us out? Is that possible? I believe that old guy is good at playing hide-and-seek, but if he really fights, can he beat those jailers?"
I couldn't help but feel disappointed and said, "I don't know either. Who knows what he is selling..."
While we were communicating, Su Youran and Tong Xiaoyao also began to persuade the others, hoping that they would work together to open the Nine-Man Prison. However, no matter whether they tried to persuade them with reason or emotion, or with coercion or inducement, they only received sneers and sarcasm.
The two girls could only sit in the corner in frustration, waiting for their fate. Although there was still light in the nine-man cell, I couldn't see the flow of time. When the irresistible hunger and thirst came, I realized that several hours had passed.
Although there was ventilation in the nine-man cell, it was still hot and humid. Within just a few hours, everyone was sweating profusely and looked pale, and some people were already showing signs of collapse.
But what's strange is that some people's eyes have begun to turn slightly red, and there is an undisguised fierceness in their eyes.
broken!
I couldn't help but be secretly shocked. I've heard people say before that if people stay in a closed environment for too long, they will become mentally disturbed or even suddenly go crazy.
The people imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison were on the verge of going crazy after just a few hours
Probably not.
Most of the people here are old hands. Their psychological endurance is definitely higher than that of ordinary people. They shouldn't go crazy so quickly.
When I was secretly nervous, I suddenly heard a soft "gurgling" sound coming from nearby. I couldn't help but turn my head to look over. It was Liu Qiang swallowing his saliva.
It is normal for people to swallow their saliva when they are hungry and thirsty, but Liu Qiang's voice made me feel frightened for no reason. That voice was like some kind of signal, constantly challenging my nerves.
"Gulu!" Another person? It's Blood Impermanence!
Xue Wuchang was not only swallowing his saliva, but his eyes were also fixed on Liu Qiang. The most terrifying thing was that the two hands of Xue Wuchang pressed on his knees were actually digging into his flesh tightly, as if he was forcibly suppressing some impulse.
"Gulp!" The third person? It was Su Youran. Su Youran lowered her head deeply, her eyes seemed to be fixed on the ground, but in fact, her eyeballs were moving back and forth. I could clearly see the coldness in the corners of her eyes, and there was murderous intent in her eyes when she glanced at others.
"Gurgle!" When I heard the fourth sound, I couldn't help but shudder - the sound was very close to me, someone was swallowing saliva next to me.
Ye Jin!
The first person I thought of was Ye Jin.
When I slowly turned my head, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingling - Ye Jin's eyeballs were filled with a layer of dark red color, and the black pupils were like crystals soaked in blood, shining and bloody; especially the coldness emanating from his eyes, like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey. The reason he didn't move now was simply that he hadn't chosen the target yet.
I tried to move my body slightly, and Ye Jin's body suddenly tensed up in an instant, and his face suddenly turned towards me, just like a beast waiting to hunt and suddenly shifted its target after being disturbed.
As the violent murderous aura from Ye Jin was coming towards me, my hand, which had already reached for the hilt of the knife, suddenly stopped. I held my breath and avoided Ye Jin's gaze.
Ye Jin forced a smile at me and suddenly turned his head away.
Something was wrong with Ye Jin - he was preparing to hunt, and his target was Sea Hooker Lao Chen. The other party seemed to have sensed Ye Jin's killing intent, and had already quietly reached out to the hook beside him.
After a short while, I saw a layer of white fur on Ye Jin's face. At first, I thought the fur on his face was just an illusion caused by the reflection of the firelight, but not long after, a few shallow lines appeared on the fur. At first glance, it looked like someone had peeled off the leather of some beast and pasted it on Ye Jin's face.
"Gulp!" I don't know who swallowed.
That faint sound was like a signal to Ye Jin. Ye Jin immediately roared and pounced towards Lao Chen.
Ye Jin seemed to be unable to see the sharp iron hook in Lao Chen's hand. He allowed his vital parts to be exposed to the opponent's hook, but stretched out his hands to pinch Lao Chen's neck.
"Be careful—" It was too late for me to stop Ye Jin, so I drew out the Rakshasa in a hurry, held the long sword in my right hand, and slapped the handle with my left hand. The three-foot-long sword immediately flew out of my hand and flew straight towards Lao Chen.
At this moment, the long hook in Lao Chen's hand was about to touch Ye Jin's head, but Luosha shot through Ye Jin's armpit at the critical moment, pierced through Lao Chen's chest, and knocked him back two steps.
Ye Jin also put his hands on Lao Chen's shoulders at the same time, tilted his head sharply, and bit Lao Chen's neck hard.
Old Chen, eyes wide open, instinctively wanted to push Ye Jin away, but his hand fell to his side powerlessly before it even touched Ye Jin. Ye Jin's throat made a series of "gurgling" sounds as if he was swallowing human blood.
"Ye Jin..." When I was at a loss as to what to do, the sound of swallowing human blood rang out simultaneously from all directions around me. When I turned around to look, I couldn't help but gasp.
Xue Wuchang held down Lao Chen's men and ripped open their throats. Su Youran and Tong Xiaoyao, the two girls, also held down one of their men and drank blood crazily. The entire nine-man prison instantly turned into a hell where wild beasts fought for food. No matter where you looked, it was chilling.
After a short moment, Lao Chen turned into a dried corpse with eyes wide open. Ye Jin let go of the corpse and walked back to his original position. This time, he did not sit behind me, but blocked me with his body.
I called out tentatively, "Ye Jin, are you okay?"
Ye Jin said hoarsely: "I'm fine. Don't move behind me, trust me..."
"Hehe..." The corpse of Lao Chen lying on the ground suddenly sneered, and climbed up with his hands, moving his body to sit under the wall. "He blocked you because he was afraid that others would steal his food. Can't you see? When they are hungry again, they will eat people. There are only eleven people here. The more people eat, the less they have, but the more ghosts eat, the more they have. Human flesh can satisfy hunger, but ghosts can't! Wild animals have the habit of storing food. He is not a human, but a wild animal, so he has to prepare some food first. You are the food he has stored."
"Shut up!" Ye Jin deliberately suppressed his voice, but I could still hear the hoarseness in his throat like a beast.
I couldn't help but look at Ye Jin, and I couldn't help but be surprised again. The hair on Ye Jin's face became thicker, and at first glance it looked like he was wearing a layer of animal skin.
Ye Jin, he...
I couldn't help but shudder.
I know Ye Jin has many secrets, but I have never tried to find out. But now I instinctively feel that his secrets can no longer be suppressed, and it seems that they can burst out at any time and anywhere.
Old Chen chuckled and said, "You don't let me say it because you're afraid that I'll expose your true colors, right? Wu Zhao, if you don't believe me, just wait and see. Ye Jin will soon have to eat someone else, and he will definitely be the last one to eat someone else."
"Shut up!" Ye Jin roared again, and Lao Chen also closed his mouth with a sneer.
Not long after, I noticed that Ye Jin's body was trembling slightly. One hand was tightly grasping the machete, and the blue veins on the back of his hand were bulging, as if he could no longer suppress the urge to suddenly attack and hurt someone.
I hurriedly asked, "Ye Jin, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't touch me and don't care about me!" Ye Jin turned his head and roared, his eyes were bloodshot, dark blue blood vessels burst out from his forehead, and a hint of murderous intent slowly emerged from his eyes.
Old Chen laughed and said, "He's going to start killing people! Who do you think he's going to kill?"
Just as I was concentrating on protecting Ye Jin, Xue Wuchang suddenly appeared in front of us silently and reached out to grab Ye Jin's head.
"You dare?" I didn't wait for Xue Wuchang's palm to get close to me before I punched him in the face. As our fists and palms collided in mid-air, we each took two steps back. (To be continued)
