Two muffled footsteps came down the stairs, and the slovenly man held a candle in his hand to illuminate the dim space.
"...to fifty thousand."
"Is there so much oil and water this time?"
"It is said that the buyer is a very well-connected person. He named the little girl... That little girl is so beautiful. Boss Zizi drooled when he saw it. It's a pity that he can't touch it. Someone will come and take her away at dawn tomorrow... "
"This time, the ghost mother took people to go there in person. It is said that they suffered a big loss. Even one of those monsters died."
"Shh! Don't say such things behind your back, be careful not to be overheard."
"What are you afraid of? Apart from those monsters, there is only feed here. Can anyone eavesdrop?"
"Have you forgotten what happened to the person who was talking nonsense behind his back? Don't tell me you want to fill that vacancy."
The other man shivered and stopped talking.
Ye Qingxuan listened silently, and for some reason suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: Very good, she is still here, she has not been sent away yet... She is still alive.
so good…
He closed his eyes and listened quietly to the footsteps approaching slowly.
…
"It's really unlucky, let's feed those monsters." The dwarf holding the lantern cursed a few curse words.
"Who's to blame? Didn't you, an idiot, get the lottery? I've been tricked by you." His companion kicked him: "The people who came to feed those monsters last time couldn't eat for several days. They were so disgusting! "
"Hey, don't be angry."
The dwarf laughed and took out a palm-sized tinfoil bag from his arms. He held it heavily in his hand, making his companion's eyes light up: "Mandala? When did you get this?"
"Those new arrivals from Tianzhu paid filial piety to those good things, which are called 'Krishna'. It is said that they have added seasonings to make them extra strong." The dwarf laughed and said, "Those guys gave away so many at once... such a small package. , enough for us to smoke for a year."
As if he was addicted, the companion with the scar on his face swallowed and said: "Give me some."
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I take it out?"
The dwarf carefully opened the tinfoil bag and looked at the snow-white powder inside. His hands were shaking a little: "Let's have a good time first to build up our courage. When the monsters come out to eat the feed, we will pretend we didn't see it."
"How about feeding that little bastard first?"
Scar glanced at the boy who was hanging in the air behind the fence, and said with regret: "It's a pity, he's so pretty, he could be worth a lot of money if he was sold as a rabbit."
"I'm almost dead. Is this useful? Wait..."
The dwarf glanced at the deep well behind the fence. When he saw the young man above the well, his eyes lit up: "This kid hasn't been searched yet."
Suspended by the iron chain, the boy's body was silent and motionless as if dead. On his chest, there was a big hole in the wallet with green paper sticking out.
That's the color of the money order!
This is the balance payment given by the seller after the delivery, a large-denomination money order issued by the cult, a thick stack, at least forty or fifty thousand pounds!
"Where did this kid steal so much money?"
The dwarf swallowed and couldn't move his eyes away.
"So much money, all money orders?" Scar was also stunned: "Am I crazy?"
"What are you waiting for?" The short man kicked Scar: "Those things will come out in a while, not to mention the money, even the clothes will be eaten up. Take out the money first, and we will tell you how to divide it later."
Scar was stunned for a moment, then quickly took off a bunch of keys from the wall and opened the thick iron fence. He grabbed the iron hook next to him, stepped carefully on the edge of the well, and hooked towards the iron chain hanging on the young man.
"Wait a minute!" The dwarf suddenly grabbed the hook and said, "You are so careless, what if it falls off! I'll do it!"
Scar glared at the dwarf angrily. This guy just didn't trust himself to get the money. But the hook had already been snatched away. He cursed something in a low voice, took two steps back angrily, and let him tinker with it.
"Be careful." He snorted coldly: "Don't fall into the well and become fodder."
The short man chuckled, hooked the iron hook on the chain, pulled the hanging boy over, and reached out to touch his chest; "You are so prosperous, so much money..."
Before he finished speaking, a hand was placed on his wrist. He was stunned for a moment, looked to the side, and found that Scar was still outside the fence, and then froze.
Whose hand does that belong to
At that moment, he saw the boy who was supposed to be dead raise his head, his astonished face reflected in his dark eyes. The darkness was like a whirlpool.
The vortex is full of decisive darkness.
Then, a sudden force pulled him into the fence, leaving him no time to react. The young man grabbed the iron hook with his hand and relied on the strength of pulling to drag the iron chain and jump out of the fence.
Amidst the screams, Scar suddenly turned around, only to see the young man flying toward him and the ever-expanding iron hook.
Bang!
The screaming iron hook hit Scar's head, causing his vision to go dark and he fell to his knees. In the sudden severe pain, he felt the iron chain wrapped around his neck, and he suddenly pressed down and tightened.
It was only then that the door that had been knocked open on the iron fence slowly closed, and then suddenly closed under the push of the young man.
Ye Qingxuan gasped, stepping firmly on the struggling scar under his feet, and slowly tightened the iron chain in his hand. The extremely short chain had just gone around a circle and had already reached its end. Scar was pressed against the fence, almost burying his head inside.
"Help! Help!"
In the deep well, the short man grabbed the edge hard and climbed up with difficulty, but something pulled him and he was about to be pulled down.
"Shut up!"
Ye Qingxuan aimed the iron hook at his fingers that were holding on to the edge of the well, and the short man's face instantly turned pale.
He pulled hard on Scar's chains and suppressed the burly man. No matter how hard he struggled and tore himself, he would never relax.
He gritted his teeth, slowly regained his strength, raised his head and asked the dwarf:
"Where is this?"
The dwarf's lips trembled and he was speechless. Ye Qingxuan's eyes turned cold, and the iron hook suddenly hit one of his fingers, causing him to almost fall into the well and scream.
"Say, where is this?!"
"I say! I say! This is an abandoned sewer well at the bottom of the Avalon sewers. The ghost mother discovered this place and used it as a pasture... Invisible ghosts are raised here and will not be discovered."
The dwarf screamed in reply: "Pull me up! Pull me up quickly! The time is almost up!"
"Ghost mother?" Ye Qingxuan was stunned for a moment: "The legendary woman who raised demons?"
"Yes, it's her! It's her... She has the runes to control those monsters, and those monsters obey him!" The dwarf was about to cry, "Please, pull me up!"
"Why do you want to arrest Bai Xi?" Ye Qingxuan asked coldly.
"I heard that an Easterner offered a large sum of money to capture her... The shaman refused to help, so the ghost mother took the job. I told her, really, I told her everything I knew!"
The dwarf cried: "Hurry up and give me a hand... They, they..."
The sound of boiling water drowned out his screams.
In the deep well, the originally foul-smelling stagnant water began to roll strangely, as if countless piranhas smelled the smell of blood and started to seduce crazily.
The boiling stagnant water was rising, and a dozen vague things emerged from the sewage. They look like melted human figures, climbing up as the water rises.
From the deepest part of the well, there was the sound of the tide.
The tide is rising…
That is the "invisible ghost" that Bai Xi once said, one of the thousands of offspring raised by the natural disaster "Dark Earth Mother".
Many people think that they are the souls of the dead, but they are just living monsters that feed on blood, and their appearance will change into that of the blood provider. Sometimes they will hide in the cemetery and eat the corpse. After leaving the tomb, they will be regarded as the soul of the deceased and enjoy respectful worship...or they will devour the finder before doing so.
Some people are afraid of their power, which is like being possessed by evil spirits, but according to church books, they have the terrifying ability to become "atomization".
When they are frantic or angry, their bodies will spread into thick fog, and the living creatures shrouded in the smoke will feel the fear of dying, and become food in their abnormal madness.
There are people raising monsters like this that regard humans as food
Soon, a piece of white rolling in the boiling sewage stung his eyes.
They were broken pale bones, and maybe half a head, and those broken bones were rolling in the turbid current, like. But he finally understood how they raised these monsters.
"You feed them with living people?" Ye Qingxuan looked up at the dwarf.
"They are all dead! They are all dead!!"
"Me too?"
Ye Qingxuan asked back, which made him stunned. His fearful expression froze, and then slowly turned ferocious: "Little bastard, let me up quickly..."
Ye Qingxuan looked at him coldly and remained silent.
Under his grip, the suffocated Scar finally stopped struggling, his body went limp and he fell into shock. He took two steps back, picked up the wind lantern on the ground, and prepared to leave.
The expression of the dwarf who had been cursing changed.
The turbid current is rising slowly, and invisible ghosts are surging in the water.
"Come on!"
He screamed toward the door, "The kid's gone!"
Ye Qingxuan's expression also changed. He held the iron hook and stared at the dwarf's forehead. His hands were tight and indulgent, but in the end he still had not made up his mind.
The roar of the dwarf caused footsteps in the distance, and a faint voice shouted: "What are you doing? It's so loud!"
"They're coming out soon!" The short man held the invisible ghost pulling at his feet with all his strength, almost crying: "Save me! Save me quickly!"
Ye Qingxuan was silent, as if he didn't hear anything.
He just looked around silently, searching for things around him. Finally, he picked up the tinfoil bag that fell on the ground and twisted the white powder protruding from the corners.
Mandala, a famous forbidden medicine, is a powder extracted from plants in Tianzhu. It was originally used as an analgesic by the military. During the war against Asgard, it was discovered that this substance has huge addictive properties. The hallucinogenic feeling produced after taking it will make people feel addicted again and again. Immersing yourself in it has become taboo ever since.
Just based on the feel, there must be something added inside, right? Styrax? Or white orange leaves
No matter what is added, it seems to be useless.
He sighed and heard the heavy footsteps getting closer. The short man's expression became excited, he stared at Ye Qingxuan bitterly, and his voice became louder and louder.
Ye Qingxuan stood at the bottom of the stairs, quietly listening to the footsteps behind the door, slowly approaching, slowly approaching... until finally, the door opened.
The moment the sharp friction sound was heard, the young man under the stairs became violent.
He moved forward, galloping forward, stepping on the moss-covered steps, and rushed upward!
In an instant, he walked from the light into the darkness. Before the man who pushed the door could see the room clearly, a burning lantern came towards him!
Bang!
