There were only a few dozen steps. Nie Li's steps were light and heavy. Boss Gao and Old Qi looked at Nie Li's awkward body and realized that he was a cripple. They didn't pay much attention to this before, but now it seemed that it wasn't easy for him to have such strength.
The dark dungeon was filled with a muddy smell. Nie Li wiped his nose with his hand. There was a small fire stick every few meters on the wall, illuminating a small area. In the corner, there was a spider web with a huge spider hanging motionlessly.
Nie Li walked to the center of the dungeon. There were a few tables in the middle with a few people sitting around them. "Damn, there are so many delicate little girls. We can only look, but we can't touch them." A person said.
"Just think about it. The young master has ordered that if anyone dares to touch these girls, they will be chopped up and fed to the dogs." Another person echoed. "If you really want to, go to the Red Jade District."
"Forget it. The Red Jade District is not a place we can enter. We don't have money." That person complained again. They were only guards, so the money they received was pitiful. It was enough to go to the Red Jade District to drink some wine. "Speaking of which, why is the food delivery so slow today?"
"Sirs, the food has been delivered." Nie Li heard them speak and shouted loudly. He then took a wooden box and placed it on the table. Everyone rushed forward and took out the food inside. They grabbed chopsticks and stabbed at the food in front of them.
"Brat, do you not want to live anymore? Why is the food delivery so late today?" The grumbling guard vented all his resentment on Nie Li. He held a steamed bun in one hand and a drumstick in the other. The food that he spoke with spewed out the residue of the food.
"Sirs, please calm down. Something happened today, so we were delayed." Nie Li bowed, looking very humble. However, his eyes that weren't being looked at were emitting traces of cold light.
"I'll spare you. When we finish eating, hurry up and get lost! Seeing you makes me unhappy. " The guard's mouth didn't stop. Especially when he looked at Nie Li's face, he felt even more unhappy. This kind of guy was so good looking, but wasn't he just an errand boy?
"Okay." Nie Li's fingers tightly gripped his dagger. These people's martial arts were all at the Blood Transformation and Houtian realm. If he acted rashly, it wouldn't be easy to deal with them. Furthermore, he didn't want to alert them, so he could only continue to smile.
"Look at him, isn't he like a dog? No matter how you beat or scold him, he'll come as soon as you call him." Seeing Nie Li's smile, the others laughed loudly.
Boss Gao and Old Qi felt bad. They had experienced Nie Li's temperament in the morning. That kind of arrogance and overbearingness in his bones. They didn't expect him to be so humble at this moment. They wondered if the person in front of them was Nie Li.
However, they were more worried that Nie Li wouldn't be able to hold himself back and would go on a killing spree. Nie Li's blade technique made them believe that it wasn't impossible for Nie Li to kill these people. With his drooping hair, no one could see his face.
"Sirs, you must be joking." The coldness in Nie Li's eyes intensified. After eating and drinking, the effects of the knockout powder began to kick in. Everyone began to yawn. They all looked tired and fell asleep with their heads resting on their arms.
"Move." Nie Li directly found the keys on these people and began to search each room in the dungeon. These women looked at Nie Li and shivered. After being in the dungeon for so long, their eyes had lost their spirit.
"Nie Li, I'm here." Chun Mei's voice sounded. Nie Li found Chun Mei hiding in the corner and opened the door with the key. Chun Mei also stood up and tightly hugged Nie Li's waist. Nie Li vaguely heard the sound of sobbing.
"It's all right." Nie Li gently stroked Chun Mei's hair, trying to calm her down. Even if her temperament was cold, she was still a weak woman. It was already not easy for her to endure all the fear and grievances until now.
Boss Gao and Old Qi stood at the door, looking at the two people hugging each other. Boss Gao looked at Old Qi with comforting eyes, but the latter didn't seem to be jealous or dissatisfied. His eyes were full of happiness and joy, and the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden.
Boss Gao always thought that when Old Qi said that he liked Chun Mei, it was just a simple good impression. He didn't expect Old Qi to value Chun Mei so much. Whether it was before or this time, he risked his life to save her twice, showing his determination and heart.
However, she would never see that in her eyes and heart, there was already someone stronger than them. If it was someone else, Boss Gao might feel that it was not worth it for Old Qi, but for Nie Li, they couldn't find a reason. He was strong, handsome, and resourceful. In order to save Chun Mei, he dared to risk his life.
Seeing that Chun Mei's emotions had calmed down, Nie Li pulled Chun Mei's wrist and was about to leave. However, Chun Mei's body seemed to be nailed to the ground, standing motionless.
"Nie Li, can you take them with you?" Chun Mei glanced at the women in the other cells and looked at Nie Li with a hopeful gaze. She had only been here for a day, and she was already suffering and afraid. How long have these people been here?
When the other women heard Chun Mei begging Nie Li to take them away, their lifeless eyes lit up. They looked at Nie Li with pleading eyes. They wanted to go home and see their parents.
"If we take these people away, the movement will be too big. Moreover, the mastermind behind this has not appeared yet. If we take them away rashly, it will be even more dangerous." Although Nie Li was sure that the mastermind behind this was Zhang Junshi, since Zhang Junshi dared to do this, it was obvious that he had nothing to fear. If no one took him down and he took these women away, they would still be brought back later.
"How can you be so ruthless? How long have these girls been locked up here? Have you considered their feelings? Have you considered their families? " The impatient Old Qi couldn't help it. Part of it was because of kindness, and part of it was because he wanted to show off in front of Chun Mei. A desire for attention made him not think too much.
However, Boss Gao didn't agree. He knew Nie Li's concerns. No one knew who the mastermind behind this was. Furthermore, since the other party had such excellent equipment and trained guards, it was obviously a big shot. If they rashly rescued these women, they probably wouldn't have a good ending.
"My purpose of coming here is to save Chun Mei. I won't think about anything else." Nie Li pulled Chun Mei up. He didn't care about what Old Qi said, nor did he look into the eyes of others.
He didn't dare to look into those eyes. Those were eyes of despair, eyes of extreme despair, because he had just extinguished their last flame of hope. But what could he do? Take so many people away and save them next time?
They could only be lambs to be slaughtered. They were only tools for Zhang Junshi to become stronger. Nie Li didn't want to be entangled too much. He only came here to save Chun Mei. He didn't want to think about those eyes.
It was so similar to him in the past. It was better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. There must always be a kind of disappointment in the bottom of your heart. This way, you won't have high expectations. Only by being strong can you save yourself.
Nie Li looked at the dark dungeon. There was no trace of sunlight here. In the darkness and fear, people's hearts would eventually change. Their hearts yearned for the sun, like spiders in the corner, waiting for the warmth of early spring.
Chun Mei glanced at Nie Li and found that there was no trace of emotion in his eyes. She knew that Nie Li wouldn't save these people. At that moment, she suddenly discovered that this person was different from what she thought. His heart could be more ruthless.
Looking at Chun Mei's pitiful eyes, Nie Li's heart softened for a moment. "Nie Li, if you don't save them, I will." Old Qi couldn't stand it anymore. He didn't think that a person could be so ruthless.
"Old Qi." Boss Gao hurriedly tried to persuade him. "Boss Gao, he can ignore these people, but I can't. These are human lives." Old Qi righteously said.
"Okay, then you save them. Chun Mei, let's go. " Nie Li glanced at Old Qi. This kind of hot-bloodedness, he didn't seem to have it. However, hot-bloodedness that buried one's life was nothing but stupidity.
Chun Mei didn't speak, but grabbed Nie Li's hand. No matter what choice Nie Li made, since she chose him, she would always follow him.
"I'm just a little late. How many good shows have I missed?" A brisk voice sounded from outside. Nie Li immediately knew who it was. It was a hot-blooded youth just like Old Qi.
"Who are you?" Old Qi turned around and found that it was a handsome man. Except for his face, there was nothing special about him. He looked like an ordinary person and didn't have the momentum and temperament of Nie Li.
"I'm Mo Xiaotou, a friend of Young Hero Nie." Mo Xiaotou cupped his hands and said. He glanced at Nie Li and Chun Mei in the cell. The smile on the corner of his mouth became thicker and more realistic.
"Since he's a friend, I guess he's not a good person." Old Qi glanced at Mo Xiaotou. He was prejudiced against Nie Li. Naturally, he didn't have a good impression of his friend, because he felt that the appearance of this person would only tilt the balance to Nie Li's side.
"It's not a bad thing that you have your own kindness. But if you rashly let these out, can you protect all of them?" Mo Xiaotou didn't say anything nice to Old Qi and went straight to the point.
Lao Qi was taken aback by the question. What would he do if he rescued these people? How could he protect so many people by himself? They would still be caught and brought back later.
"And you know what? These people have to be counted every day. Once one of them is missing, they will be caught. So your so-called heroic actions will only put more women in danger. "Little Head Mo's mouth didn't stop, and his words made Old Qi's face turn red.
"Then what should we do? Watch them suffer here? But we only want to be gentle. "Old Qi was implying something. Everyone knew that he was talking about Nie Li.
"Young Hero Nie and I have been tracking this matter. We will soon catch the mastermind behind this. If we alert the enemy because of this matter, our efforts will be in vain. These women will still die." Mo Xiaotou was obviously on Nie Li's side.
"I don't care what you say. I'm going to take Chun Mei away now. You deal with the rest. As for whether to save them or not, I don't care. I don't care whether these people are killed or not. But if you want to kill them, cut the tongue of the guy who spoke rudely just now. "Nie Li didn't have the patience to listen to their nonsense.
He pulled Chun Mei out of the cell directly, broke through the long tunnel, went outside, picked up Chun Mei and left directly.
At this time in the dungeon, the three people were speechless. They didn't expect Nie Li to do this.
