C14 Discovered
Taking advantage of the other's absence, Xin Rou and I immediately went to the inn. We stood outside the inn, looking at the flickering red lanterns, looking left and right, but no one was around, so we slipped in.
We didn't go to the back kitchen immediately because we didn't know if the big man was there. If he was, then we would have bumped into a hole in the wall, so it would be better to go upstairs and investigate.
When I went upstairs, I went straight to the room I used to stay in. The door had been repaired, and sure enough, there was no one inside.
As I sat in my room listening carefully to my surroundings, I noticed that it was very quiet. It was only then that I noticed that something was wrong with my gentle expression.
"Xin Rou, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine …" She looked at him from beginning to end and noticed that one of his hands was tightly holding onto that arm. She quickly asked, "What happened to your arm?"
"It's fine. I don't know why, but ever since I entered this inn, my arm started to feel a little uncomfortable. It seems that the deeper I go, the more painful it becomes." Her heart ached and her lips paled.
"Could it be that the problem with your arm is related to this Lady Boss?" Otherwise, how could he explain that he would feel uncomfortable the moment he entered the inn?
"I don't know …" She had never thought that it would be related to the Lady Boss.
"Dong, dong, dong!" Suddenly, heavy footsteps came from downstairs. I knew it was the big man's footsteps, but I didn't know if he had just come back or was just going out.
No, I have to go down and have a look. After thinking about it, I decided to act. Looking at her pale face, I gently said, "Xin Rou, you stay here for now. I'll go down and ask around.
"But …" Xin Rou wanted to say something but I interrupted her. "Don't worry, I will definitely return safely."
After saying this, he quietly left the room. If he could see from the corridor that the tower lord had not attacked, then it could mean that there was no one downstairs and that the big man's footsteps must have come from when he left.
Bowing carefully, I head downstairs and take a look at my surroundings. At this moment, I can be said to be on high alert. After walking down the stairs, I stand in the main hall.
This time, if the black cat pounced again, he would f * cking kill it!
After confirming that there was no one around, I quickened my pace and opened the door to the kitchen area. There was a straight corridor, and on my left hand side was a room, and on my right hand side was another room. However, it was obvious that the room on my left hand side was much larger.
Just as I was about to go forward to investigate, I saw a flying bird colliding into the invisible air. The instant the collision occurred, I could clearly see a faint red light screen appear in the air, and the flying bird that was hit fell down to the ground and struggled for a bit. After which, it died and its body disappeared.
In that instant, I stopped walking and could not help but feel glad that I walked a little slower before seeing the flying bird die.
What kind of secret could there be in a courtyard with a barrier placed over it?
But there was no time for me to think any further, so I immediately turned and walked to the door of the smaller room on the right. After seeing the boundary of the courtyard, I was a little afraid of the door in front of me.
As a precaution, he walked into the main hall and picked up a pair of chopsticks before returning to the door. As a precaution, he walked into the main hall and picked up a pair of chopsticks before returning to the door.
Just as I stepped into the room, before I took a few steps, I suddenly caught sight of something from all directions. My feet suddenly trembled, my legs went soft, and goosebumps appeared all over my body. There was, unexpectedly, a head on the cutting board.
I did my best to overcome my fear and continued to hypnotize myself. It wasn't so terrible, but it wasn't until my legs regained their senses that I began to slowly walk forward. I had been out of sight, but now that I took a few steps closer, I saw more.
Inside the human head was a plate, on the plate were two balls, in the middle of the black ball were two white dots, weren't those the eyes of the people being gouged out, and on the table beside, there were a lot of things connected, they were all from the human body, like ordinary dishes being sorted and placed one by one, it was too terrifying, he couldn't help but subconsciously swallow his saliva.
On one side of the kitchen door, there were several large buckets. On the other side, there was a pile of black stuff. Taking a closer look, it was actually hair. Raising my head, I see a bunch of intestines hanging in midair. At this moment, I can't hold it in any longer and puke. With a wow, I finally spit it out.
Even though the slaughterhouse that I grew up in is filled with blood and has a pungent smell, it is simply impossible for it to be similar to this tiny kitchen. You can imagine, a person who is similar to your kind has appeared in front of you like this, and even some scenes that you normally wouldn't be able to see appeared in front of your eyes. I, who wasn't particularly bold in the first place, was finally completely terrified.
He felt uncomfortable all over and immediately closed the door after leaving the room. There was nothing left in the kitchen except human flesh.
There were only two rooms in total. Since there was no kitchen, it should be here.
The height of each jar was about the length of an adult's arm, and the lid was very tight. And in the center of all the vats, there was a vat that was completely different from the others, the first vat was half the size of the others, and on the black and gray vats, there were actually many red lines. The lines were complex and complicated, finally gathering at the center of the vat.
As soon as I saw that the mouth jar was different from the others, I knew that the mouth jar must have been sealed with some sort of demonic technique by the Lady Boss to prevent people from easily opening it.
I crouched down and slowly reached out to open the lid of the nearest cylinder. The moment I opened it, I heard the sound of water flowing, and my open hand froze. It had already been so long, if I didn't hurry they would have to come back.
Indeed, the sound of the flowing water became louder, and a full tank of water began to spin rapidly like a whirlpool. In the center of the whirlpool was a mass of blood-red liquid, floating in the middle, motionless, no matter how the whirlpool spun it.
Could it be that this was the heart blood that the Lady Boss spoke of earlier? With so many vats in her mouth, how many people did she kill …?
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he stared at the vat in the middle. Could it be that this vat was sealing the Mountain Immortal?
When I thought of my purpose for the day, I couldn't sit still any longer. I came to the front of the middle vat and took out my chopstick to carefully probe the lid of the vat. I didn't expect that the chopstick would turn into powder an inch at a time before I even touched it.
It seems that I won't be able to open this vat with my power, but I'm not willing to leave just like that. There's a way to revive her, and since I can't take away the guarding immortal, I'll just take away the blood in my heart.
With that thought, he immediately took action. He opened the jar to fish out the blood from his heart, and the blood from his heart formed a circle in his hand. He stood there without dispersing and prepared to leave, when at that moment, the door was broken open and a red figure appeared in front of him.
Not good, I immediately lay down. The height of the vat is just enough to stop me. As long as this woman doesn't come in, I might be able to escape.
Listening to the door, he realized that there was no movement at all. He couldn't help but wonder if he could escape by a fluke, right? The next second, a cold voice sounded out, and I knew that my thoughts had been dashed.
"Brat, come out, I know you're inside, not to mention that Long Da (by the name of the big man) has already gone upstairs. Long Da is a country bumpkin, if by any chance he makes a move, then he'll be …"
"Alright, I'll come out!" The other party was interrupted by me before he could finish his words.
"What do you want?" At this moment, I wasn't the least bit afraid as I looked at him and asked.
"Not much …" The woman smiled warmly, and in the next moment, her expression turned grim.
"I just want your life!"
