Volume 2: The Church of Light Chapter 156 Ingredients
Xu Shen did not stay long and said goodbye to the detective woman. As for the Jiang family's affairs, he was not qualified to take care of them for the time being. If No. 1 could not help him get out, he might be trapped here forever.
Until death.
In the end, the only person Xu Shen could ask for help was a stranger.
"As long as you ask me, I will help you."
A gentle voice came beside her. Maeve sat on the wide armrest of the chair and stared at Xu Shen.
Maeve... Xu Shen's eyes were calm, he believed that Maeve would take action, and at the moment of skinning, the intense pain made him want to beg, even if the worst case scenario happened, he would just be eaten by Maeve.
But if that happened, she would also come into reality, exposed to the others, and eat them as well.
But he never thought of dying together with these people.
He has managed to survive until now with great difficulty, and he just hopes to continue living.
Neither pain nor beating can change this belief.
Even if Maeve would not hurt him and just get rid of the others, this also meant that he would have to flee all the way from the inner city to the outer city, escape to outside the wall, and abandon the human world.
Do you want to give it up?
If the rescue of No. 1 fails, Xu Shen will have no choice but to take this path.
Perhaps sometimes, what makes us humble is not the pain, but the hope that shines like a diamond.
Hope makes unbearable pain bearable.
But in the end, "Hope" just sang a little song and ran away with a smile.
Xu Shen thought of the rules of feeding the market that the old man in the snow-white robe had explained.
Never let your baby eat too much.
Isn’t this also a kind of exploitation of “hope”?
The spiritual beliefs that ordinary people most ardently desire and admire have become tools for exploitation and use. How terrifying is such deep control?
but.
If you can learn it and become the master, how convenient it will be?
There was a slight gleam in Xu Shen's eyes. The only thing he could do now was to wait.
Time passes slowly.
The daily prayers came from above, and during this time, a little light seemed to permeate the entire dark dungeon.
The next day, the old man did not come to deliver food.
Xu Shen thought that it might be his words yesterday that made the old man angry, so he wanted to punish him.
Or maybe it was Action 1.
The fiery hunger made Xu Shen stand up straight.
He walked slowly to the cell.
He did not stop at or approach the cells where the B-level prisoners were held.
These monsters are also hungry and will look for opportunities to attack him at any time.
Xu Shen came to the cells of those C-level prisoners.
Some C-level people saw Xu Shen and retreated slightly, not daring to approach the railing.
They still remember clearly the incident of the C-level monster having its internal organs eaten.
There were also C-level hunters standing in front of the railing, keeping a distance of half a meter, looking at Xu Shen with greedy and fearful eyes, as if they were thinking about how to hunt and eat this delicious food.
It's a pity that the mask was taken away, otherwise he could have hypnotized them and attracted them here...Xu Shen had searched in the torture room before, but didn't find the keys to these cells, otherwise he could have opened the door and gone in directly.
Soon, Xu Shen turned to Xu, whose internal organs had been eaten earlier.
The beast huddled deep inside the cell, looking at Xu Shen with resentment, but didn't dare to get any closer.
Xu Shen saw that there was no chance and could only continue looking for his next target.
"Are you here to bring me food?" An innocent voice came from the cell next door .
It was dark inside and I could only see a vague outline of a woman with a graceful and attractive figure, with curvaceous curves.
Following the sound, the figure slowly walked to the railing. The seductive and hot curves were surprisingly smooth shells, and the long legs were strange limbs like horse hooves.
There were four scarlet eyes on its head, staring at Xu Shen, and its voice was still gentle and sweet: "I'm really hungry."
The railings in front of Xu Shen gradually faded away, and the darkness in front of him seemed to be dispelled. He saw that he was in a clean and comfortable room, like a hotel.
And from the bathroom in front of him, a naked and sexy woman walked out, with gentle and charming eyes.
She walked along as if she had just stepped out of the bath, with water stains running down the soles of her feet onto the blanket under her feet.
Coming in front of Xu Shen, she gently lifted Xu Shen's chin with her slender fingers.
"Let's do something happy..." the woman said softly.
"Eating?"
Xu Shen murmured.
The next moment, the warm scene in front of me suddenly shattered, like countless pieces of glass, invaded by darkness.
From the ruins behind the cage, strange tentacle-like limbs extended out and wrapped around Xu Shen's body. On his neck, there were sharp thorns, like a poisonous snake raising its head, about to stab down fiercely.
Suddenly, a flash of knife flashed, and all the monster's limbs were cut off.
The clean knife quickly swept across the railing and cut open Xu's belly. Xu Shen used swift techniques to pull out a bunch of internal organs.
The beast screamed and retreated, trying to get its organs back, but was cut off by Xu Shen.
Hearing the violent swallowing sounds in the prison corridor, many prisoners swallowed their saliva secretly.
The screaming and swallowing continued for a while, and then gradually stopped.
Xu Shen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and returned to the bloody chair.
"If you dare to hurt us, you will die too." A C-level Xu hid in the cage and growled angrily.
Xu Shen took a look and closed his eyes silently.
He knew that the old man must have other purposes in raising these ruins. Maybe he was like the Light Chasing Society, investing them in the inner city to make money, or maybe he had some other purpose.
But now that it was done, he had to eat.
The old man would not kill him for this, at most he would punish him.
The next day, the seventh day.
The old man came over with a lunch box. As he walked in the aisle, he suddenly noticed black bloodstains on the aisle in front of a cage somewhere. He was stunned.
"Hehe, old man, if you don't come to deliver food, this little monster will eat all your food."
A B-level Xu in a cell said with a smile.
The old man glanced at the bloodstain, raised his eyebrows slightly, and went straight to the torture room. Seeing Xu Shen on the bloody chair, he asked, "Did you eat Xu?"
Xu Shen also knew that he couldn't hide it. These C-level ruins all had strong intelligence, not to mention the other B-level ruins.
"I'm hungry." Xu Shen said calmly, ready to accept punishment.
The old man looked Xu Shen up and down, then suddenly smiled and asked, "How does it taste?"
Xu Shen stared at him and said, "Not bad."
Not as delicious as after being processed by its "mother".
"It seems you have a good appetite."
The old man smiled, opened the lunch box, and said, "But don't eat these food anymore. They are ingredients of some big shots. If they are spoiled, the taste will be affected."
Xu Shen was slightly stunned.
...Ingredients?
Would any big shot eat these foods?
Xu Shen's eyes changed slightly and he became even more silent.
He eats food to survive, but why do those big shots eat food?
Just... enjoyment?
Xu Shen didn't say anything. He stood up and walked to the lunch box and started eating.
With only one meal a day, he was starving.
The old man watched him eat quietly. After Xu Shen finished eating, he put away the lunch box and turned to leave.
After the old man left, Xu Shen sat back on the bloody chair, rested for a while, and then entered the mysterious spiritual world.
No. 1 was not online, so Xu Shen called again.
Soon, the dark red light ball No. 1 lit up.
Xu Shen immediately sent a private message to inquire about the situation.
"We have already found their location. They are in the Moonlight Church of Moria. They should be imprisoned down there and become Shixu people." No. 1 said, "The situation is a little tricky. The other party seems to be a hidden chess piece buried by the Jiang family in the bottom city. Fortunately, the Jiang family is also in a precarious situation now. If it were in the past, it would be really difficult to rescue them."
Xu Shen understood what he meant. If the Moonlight Religion had tortured the Jiang family to this extent during the Jiang family's heyday, they would naturally deny it even if they were beaten to death. If they were let go, they would have offended the Jiang family.
"How long will it take?" Xu Shen asked in a low voice.
No. 1 groaned and said, "Two days, three at most."
"OK."
Xu Shen agreed that he could still hold on for three days.
No. 1 glanced at Xu Shen, and when he investigated the information of the rescued person, he realized that No. 10 was ultimately helping the Jiang family.
It seems that No. 10 has a very close relationship with the Jiang family. However, it is not worth it to use his favor to rescue a Ghost Moon warrior of the Jiang family.
The other party is just in the second state.
Using his one move to exchange for the life of a second state is a huge loss.
However, if No. 10 insisted on doing this, he didn't care, as it would save him trouble.
The two of them said goodbye briefly and logged off.
Xu Shen also returned to the dark torture chamber again.
After being slightly nourished by the Xu flesh, Xu Shen was able to mobilize a little more Xu force. Now his skin and flesh had completely scabbed over and would no longer tear repeatedly.
The capillaries outside the flesh and blood are covered with thick blood scabs, like rough and dry epidermis.
But the whole person still looks a little ferocious.
The next day.
After the prayer, the old man brought food again.
"You've been eating the same meal for several days in a row. It must be a bit exhausting. I'll give you another meal in the evening. Don't eat out anymore." The old man said with a smile, and seemed to be very gentle to Xu Shen.
But Xu Shen will no longer be fooled by his appearance.
After finishing his meal, Xu Shen sat back in his chair to rest.
A few hours later, the old man came again as expected.
While eating, the old man also chatted with him about some topics, telling him about some festivals and interesting activities in the inner city.
Xu Shen just listened silently.
The next day.
After the prayer, the old man came with a lunch box. He looked a little strange. He glanced at Xu Shen and said, "It seems like someone is trying to rescue you."
After putting down the lunch box, Xu Shen was about to get up. He paused slightly when he heard this, but still walked towards the lunch box.
"It seems that you are very important to the Jiang family."
The old man looked at Xu Shen meaningfully.
The Jiang family probably doesn’t know about this... Xu Shen thought to himself, it was obvious that No. 1 was exerting his strength.
"The Jiang family is on the verge of death, yet there are other kings willing to wade into this muddy water. This dying tiger still has some strength left." The old man shook his head slightly.
Xu Shen didn't say anything.
The old man said a few more words casually, and then left after Xu Shen finished eating.
Dinner was served an hour late.
This time he didn't say much, but just showed a bit of regret.
Seeing his reaction, Xu Shen was secretly happy and saw hope.
The next day.
That is the third day mentioned on the 1st.
The sound of prayers in the church disappeared. Xu Shen waited for a long time but did not hear anything.
Until a sound of footsteps came, not just one person.
Xu Shen saw the old man walking in carrying a woman in a moon-white robe, and he was also holding some other things in his hands.
"You can go now."
The old man glanced at Xu Shen, his face no longer showing the gentle kindness he had when they were together before, but instead looked a little cold. He said indifferently: "You are no longer qualified to listen to the teachings of our Lord."
Xu Shen's eyes lit up and he asked, "Who came forward to help me?"
"There are too many people who have spoken up for you. I didn't expect that the Jiang family can mobilize so many connections now, and there seems to be a king behind them..." The old man had a cold expression and didn't want to say more. He winked at the woman beside him.
The woman in the moon-white robe understood, came to Xu Shen, and said: "I will help you heal. It may be a little painful later, please bear with it for a while."
