Volume 2 The Executioner Chapter 82 Human Pig (Part 2)
This "person" is now naked, and a maid is kneeling beside this "person" and wiping his body.
To be honest - Ogata had no idea what words to use to describe the terrifying creature in front of him.
If the creature in front of us is an object, its chest is still rising and falling rhythmically, proving that it is alive and not a lifeless dead object.
But if it is a person...it doesn't really look like a person...
There are so many scars on his face that it is hard to see what his face originally looks like.
But Ogata could barely judge from her resilient skin that this "person" was not very old, probably around 20 years old.
Because her eyes were blinded, she couldn't see clearly.
So after sensing that someone seemed to be looking at her, she slowly turned her head and focused her eyes, which could not see anything, on Ogata.
He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
However - her mouth kept opening and closing, but Ogata couldn't hear a single word from her.
"Well……!"
Until this moment, Ogata, who had been suppressing the discomfort, could no longer resist the strong feeling of nausea that kept rising from his stomach.
He raised his hand to cover his mouth, then fled out of the room in a panic as if he was escaping.
After escaping from the room, Ogata held onto the nearest wall and began to vomit frantically.
Kuranaga and Tobisaru seemed to have expected Ogata's reaction, and they silently followed Ogata out of the room.
When Cang Yong left the room, he did not forget to instruct the maids in the room who were responsible for taking care of these poor women to continue working well.
When Tobisaur closed the paper sliding door of the room again, Kuranaga slowly walked to Ogata's side and patted him on the back gently, so that Ogata, who was vomiting violently, would feel better.
"My Lord... I'm sorry..."
After vomiting out everything in his stomach in one breath, Ogata wiped his mouth and apologized to Kuranaga beside him.
"I made your floor dirty..."
"It's okay." Cangyong said softly, "The floor is dirty, we can ask the servants to clean it later."
"… Elder, are those people covered by the quilts… also… those poor ?"
Kuranaga nodded.
After a moment of silence, Cang Yong sighed softly.
"I've always felt very embarrassed about how to take care of these poor girls..."
"I don't know if I should continue to entrust the maids to take care of them personally as I do now."
"Or... send them on their way and let them be freed as soon as possible..."
"There were 23 of these poor women at the beginning."
"But now... there are only the 18 people left in the room."
"After being adopted by me and brought back home, the other five committed suicide one after another using the same method."
"The same... method," Ogata asked doubtfully.
"I deliberately choked on the water while drinking it and choked myself to death."
"They have no hands or feet, no tongue or teeth."
"The eyes were gouged out and the ears were made deaf."
"They are unable to move, and cannot tell outsiders what they are thinking. The only way they can commit suicide is to deliberately choke on water when drinking, and choke themselves to death..."
"I have always felt that... if these surviving girls could speak, they would probably beg me to kill them quickly so that they could be freed soon..."
Having said this, Cangyong raised his head, closed his eyes, and sighed.
"What should I do...?"
…
…
Hirose Domain, Sakakibara Sword Hall——
At this time, the Sakakibara Sword Hall no longer had the cheerful atmosphere it had before.
The air was filled with tension and panic.
All the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Hall were kneeling respectfully on one side of the dojo.
On the other side of the dojo - that is, opposite them, there was a large group of people kneeling.
These people were all without exception - they had grim expressions and swords on their waists.
A pale young man sat casually in front of these stern-looking people.
The pale-faced young man was picking the dust between his fingernails carelessly, as if he was waiting for something.
At this moment - an old figure flashed in from outside the dojo.
This old figure was none other than the master of Sakakibara Sword Gymnasium - Sakakibara Hanbei.
Hanbei, holding a cup of steaming hot tea, slowly walked towards the pale young man.
" My lord , please have some tea."
This pale-faced young man was none other than the lord of Hirose Domain, Matsudaira Gennai.
About an incense stick of time ago, Matsudaira Gennai suddenly led a large number of people into Sakakibara Sword Hall.
After meeting the masters and disciples of Sakakibara Sword Hall led by Hanbei, Matsudaira Gennai said directly to Hanbei and others without any greetings or courtesy: I want to drink tea, go and prepare it for me.
Hanbei and others naturally did not dare to neglect the sudden arrival of Matsudaira Gennai.
The tables and counters filled with food and drinks were quickly moved away to make room for Songpingyuan and others to sit down.
Hanbei immediately rushed to the inner room of the sword hall and prepared the best tea of their sword hall for Matsudaira Gennai.
Normally, Hanbei would occasionally invite his disciples who were practicing sword to drink tea, so some tea leaves and various tools for making tea were stored in the inner room of the sword hall.
After preparing the tea as quickly , Hanbei hurriedly brought it out for Matsudaira Gennai to enjoy.
Looking at the cup of tea brought out by Hanbei, Matsudaira Gennai said in a calm tone:
"I thought I would be able to drink tea immediately after arriving at this shabby sword hall, but after all this time - I still have to wait."
The word "Pokenkan" sounded particularly harsh to Hanbei.
But Hanbei still suppressed his inner discomfort and put on a flattering smile.
Matsudaira Gennai's words not only made Hanbei unhappy, but also made him feel panicked.
I don't know what Matsudaira Gennai meant by what he just said.
Are you unhappy with his slowness?
Or does it mean nothing else?
Just when Hanbei was feeling uneasy about what Matsudaira Gennai had just said, Matsudaira Gennai took the tea from Hanbei's hand and handed it to a young man next to him.
The young man immediately respectfully took the tea handed to him by Matsudaira Gennai and took a sip.
After taking a sip and waiting for a while to confirm that the tea was not poisonous, the young man said respectfully to Matsudaira Gennai:
"My Lord, the tea is not poisonous."
"Hmm." After responding softly, Matsudaira Gennai picked up the teacup and began to pour tea into his mouth in small sips.
