Chapter 64: Move with the Wind (5)
Speaking of places like the Sky Prison, there really is no sunlight. The further down the stairs you go, the more you can feel the gloom and terror coming from inside. It is still daytime outside, but it is very dark inside. Although torches are lit along the walls, Yinyin is still afraid. She just stands at the door and hears all kinds of screams coming towards her, which makes Yinyin feel terrified. The bottomless depths seem even more terrifying. Yinyin walks carefully, holding on to the wall, and is frightened from time to time by the screams coming from the depths. It turns out that the Sky Prison is such a scary place. It is more appropriate to call it a dungeon than a sky prison. Just as Yinyin walked step by step in panic, Zhou Yan, who was walking in front, stretched out his right hand to her...
"Give me your hand."
There was no coercion or command, he just wanted to lead the way for Yin Yin. It was the first time for Yin Yin to come to such a place. No, Yin Yin had been to the sky prison before, but that kind of sky prison was completely . Realizing Zhou Yan's intentions, Yin Yin stretched out her hand after a little hesitation. After Zhou Yan held her hand, Zhou Yan's questions were transmitted to Yin Yin through his palm, which made Yin Yin feel much more at ease. She was worried before, but was calmed down in an instant.
"This is a specially built prison to prevent those extremely vicious people from escaping or outsiders from invading. Most of the people imprisoned here are those who have committed unforgivable crimes. So even if you see something, I hope you can stay calm."
Zhou Yan, who was leading Yin Yin forward, suddenly spoke. This was the reason why he didn't want Yin Yin to come. As Yin Yin had been in the Heavenly Prison before, she still couldn't accept what was going to happen next, so he explained it to Yin Yin before that.
"Uh-huh--"
The voice was trembling slightly and the screams were incessant. Even without Zhou Yan's explanation, Yin Yin could roughly imagine the scene that followed.
The further down they went, the more obvious the miserable screams became. On the first floor deep underground, there were many people imprisoned in cells. They watched Zhou Yan and Yin Yin walk by the cells in silence. Their eyes were completely lifeless, as if they were waiting for the end of their lives. Seeing their lifeless eyes, how could Yin Yin not be shaken? But looking at Zhou Yan walking in front of her, he was so indifferent. Yin Yin could only follow helplessly... On the second floor, it was completely different from the first floor. The people imprisoned in the cells were all covered with scars. Some people who were bloody but in a coma were trembling and twitching, as if they were struggling before death...
“Hmm—”
The cruel and bloody scene made Yin Yin's stomach churn. She felt a strong urge to vomit. Yin Yin immediately covered her mouth with her right hand to prevent herself from losing control. She stopped and Zhou Yan turned his head...
"Are you okay?"
Yin Yin's face turned slightly blue, and she didn't . However, this seemed to be within Zhou Yan's expectations, so he didn't react much, but still showed concern.
“Hmm—”
She wanted to vomit but couldn't. Hearing Zhou Yan's voice, Yin Yin couldn't help wondering, seeing those people struggling to death, why Zhou Yan could remain so calm, was he used to it? Unconsciously, Yin Yin looked at Zhou Yan with contempt. Zhou Yan certainly noticed that he didn't think it was wrong to give corresponding punishment to those who deserved it, but Yin Yin's eyes shook his long-held thoughts.
"I've said that they all deserved their punishment and were extremely vicious. The crimes they committed cannot be compared to what is happening right now. If you feel pity for them because of what you see, then how do you feel about the people who died tragically at their hands? Life for life is just a corresponding punishment for the crimes they committed. If we don't do this, time will lose its balance and more people will commit crimes."
Yinyin could more or less understand Zhou Yan's words, but when she really faced it, how would she understand it?
"...I advise you not to go down there. The lower level is for interrogation. Ma Feng is in the water dungeon at the bottom. I'm afraid you'll collapse before you see him."
Yin Yin was already overwhelmed by the scene before her. It was not difficult to imagine what would happen to her if she saw the scene of direct interrogation. From the entrance to the third floor, Yin Yin could almost clearly hear those miserable screams. Could she still hold on?
He suppressed his inner turmoil and put on a strong appearance. With this reaction, Zhou Yan knew what Yin Yin was thinking without her saying anything. Yin Yin's reactions and attitudes were beyond his expectations one after another, which made him wonder what was changing Yin Yin. He could not imagine that Yin Yin would suddenly want to know these things. Even if it was because of amnesia, he could not accept or even believe it. Could it be that someone was inducing Yin Yin to behave like this on purpose?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan was stunned, as if he suddenly realized something. If Yin Yin herself had said so, she shouldn't have suddenly asked about this matter again. But if someone else had instigated her from behind, it would be different. He could already guess who it was, but what was the purpose? Did they want Yin Yin to turn against him? Zhou Yan didn't want to believe such a simple reason. He had never thought of making Yin Yin hate him, so he spared Ma Feng's life. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had overlooked something, and what he had overlooked would definitely create a gap between him and Yin Yin.
