Xuan's Protector.
Different from any other organization in the Xuan Empire, this wasn't a courtyard or a mansion, but a village that was accidentally surrounded by a city. At the south entrance of the village, there was a slanted stone tablet, and the words "Protector" were very eye-catching. Behind the stone tablet was a street, and the houses on the left and right were of all shapes and sizes.
The people of the Protector lived here. Different from the other organizations in the empire, they didn't have as many daily chores. There was almost no need for the entire Protectorate Nation to move. This made the Protectorate Nation's daily life seem to be filled with smoke and fire. If it weren't for the stone monument at the southern entrance, it would look just like an ordinary residential area. Only those who understood the Protector would know what kind of world was behind the stone tablet.
When Su Tang was first brought here, she was a little surprised to see the appearance of the Protector.
She wasn't Lu Ping, who didn't care about the outside world and only focused on studying the Ecstasy Lock on her body. For the past three years in Zhai Feng Academy, she had lived her life as a normal student. In the colleges under the jurisdiction of the Xuan Army Empire, who wouldn't know about the strongest organization in the Xuan Empire, the Protector? In the eyes of the youths, those big shots who were in charge of the major centers had noble identities and deep backgrounds. They were too far away from them, and it would be difficult to reach such heights with just passion and hard work. But the Protector was different. With strength, one would have the opportunity to enter the Protector, and the things the Protector did were much cooler than those politicians in the eyes of the youths. The Protector had always been the place that they yearned for the most.
If they saw that the real Protector was only like this, they would probably be very disappointed, right?
Su Tang, who was brought into the Protector, didn't panic. Instead, she thought of her friends from Zhenfeng College. They definitely wouldn't have thought that the Protector wasn't as dazzling and glorious as they thought.
A sharp pain suddenly came from her scalp. The supervisor who was escorting her pulled Su Tang's hair and lifted her face to the front.
A tall man in black robe stood in front of her and looked at Su Tang with disgust and disgust. His gaze was so powerful that it seemed like he wanted to strip her naked.
"Three Spirits Connected? What's with this piece of trash? "he said impatiently.
"This is what the Council Supervisory Board has communicated with Lord Xing." The people who escorted Su Tang here were all from the Academy Supervisory Board, not the Protector of the Nation. At this time, they stopped outside the stone tablet and spoke respectfully to the person in front of them.
They didn't know who the man in front of them was, but they knew that they couldn't afford to offend anyone from the Protector Nation. They only did what they were told and said what they had to say.
When the tall man heard the three words "Lord Xing", although his face was still filled with impatience, he no longer had any objections.
"Give it to me." As he spoke, he raised his hand and snatched Su Tang away. He left without saying a word.
Su Tang's hands and feet were shackled. These weren't ordinary tools of torture, but tools that restricted her soul power. Otherwise, with her Blood Force's godly power, no ordinary object would be able to restrain her. Su Tang, whose Spirit Force was restricted, could not keep up with the man's wide and fast steps. Soon, he was dragged to the ground and was completely dragged.
She was dragged through an entire street. Many people saw this, but they didn't care at all. No one came up to gossip, as if this was a daily occurrence.
At the end of the street, a hole suddenly appeared on the bare ground. It was so deep that one couldn't see the bottom. The tall man casually threw Su Tang over.
"The Council Supervisory Board," he shouted. No one knew who he was talking to, but he left without looking back. After a few seconds, a muffled sound came from the depths of the black hole.
His entire body was in pain, but compared to the torture he had suffered these days, it was nothing. In order to obtain the so-called Thief's secret, the Council Supervisory Board had used all methods. But even if Su Tang knew, she wouldn't say anything. Compared to the Lu Ping of the past, what did everything she had suffered count for?
The underground was very deep, cold, and damp. The hole above seemed very far away, like a small window. This reminded Su Tang of the days when she was in the organization.
She wasn't like Lu Ping, who was strictly treated as a test subject. She had a lot more freedom and even had to do a lot of chores. But in the end, her residence was the same as Lu Ping's. There was only a small air hole that allowed them to see the sky outside.
She yearned for the outside world just like Lu Ping. After coming out, she cherished it just like Lu Ping.
At any time, as long as she was still alive, she wouldn't give up.
After glancing at the hole above, she started to feel around. The shackles on her hands and feet limited the Spirit Force she could use. She raised her hands and tried to feel around. But her ankle was suddenly grabbed, and she was dragged away in the blink of an eye. This time, she fell into complete darkness.
She felt a wave of Spirit Force sweep over her body. It seemed to have sensed something.
"You've put in a lot of effort. What does the Council Supervisory Board want to know from you?" A voice came from the darkness. It was the one who had grabbed her ankle. The voice sounded quite friendly.
Su Tang didn't answer. It seemed that the person was just casually saying it and didn't have any intention of knowing anything. He continued to drag Su Tang in the darkness. She didn't know what ability he had, but he seemed to be walking on flat ground in the darkness.
After a while, he stopped. There was a heavy sound of metal rubbing against the ground. Then, Su Tang was dragged a few more steps before he was finally released.
"It doesn't seem necessary," the voice muttered to himself before getting closer to Su Tang.
"Pray," he said. His voice was very low and very kind. It sounded like he was very concerned about Su Tang.
"Pray for what?" Su Tang couldn't help but ask.
"Pray to leave quickly. Even if you die, you'll be much happier," the voice said.
"I want to live." Facing the boundless darkness, Su Tang's tone was firm.
"You'll change your mind." The voice retreated after saying this. There was a heavy sound of metal rubbing against each other again. The cell door must have been closed.
Darkness, silence, but not loneliness. Su Tang didn't know. She had no idea how big she was or what was around her.
"Is anyone there?" she asked.
There was no response.
She stood up with difficulty. Dragging the heavy chains, she moved a few steps forward and touched the cold stone wall. Touching the stone wall, she walked in a circle. It was five steps long and five steps wide. It was a very narrow cell. There was nothing else except for her.
Su Tang sat in the corner. She was very calm.
Just like she said, she wanted to live.
This should be the prison of the Protector, right? It was said to be the place where the most powerful and vicious people were imprisoned. Was she qualified to be imprisoned here with her strength?
Probably not. There was nothing she could do when she was locked up in the Council Supervisory Committee. Why would she need the Protector to watch over her?
But she was taken away from the Council Supervisory Committee and sent to the Protector. She was even sent to this prison.
Why?
The moment she was handed over to the Protector by the Council Supervisory Committee, she had already been thinking about it.
She didn't have the ability to escape. The only thing that would be guarded against was an external force. What kind of external force would cause the Black Army Academy to feel pressured just for her? The answer was too simple.
Lu Ping was here.
In the darkness, Su Tang smiled.
