In the metal room, everything was cold.
Floor, air, body.
How many corpses were there? 30? 40? Or more … the room was full of corpses.
They were quite young, probably between the ages of seven to eleven.
There was only one left.
The only one who could still stand was holding a silver fork that was used to eat. Blood was still dripping from the fork … It was a suffocating feeling.
All of a sudden, a metal door in the room that couldn't be opened suddenly opened, and a strong light shone in.
In front of the strong light, there were several tall figures. The light elongated their shadows, like the tentacles of the devil, and suddenly stretched into the room.
"Are you the kid who survived in this room … 1 hour and 7 minutes, before the oxygen ran out. Not bad. You can enter the next round of the room. The next round will be shorter. Try your best to recover your strength, or you may become a failure … just like these losers who fell at your feet. "
Clang —!
That was the sound of the silver fork falling to the ground.
…
…
She suddenly opened her eyes and took a deep breath. She greedily inhaled all the oxygen in the world directly into her body.
She was alive.
…
When Nero woke up, the lobby of the club was still quiet.
She immediately sat up cross-legged and looked around.
"Hey, beautiful sister. And … the righteous brother. "
She greeted the servant girl who was reading a book not far away — of course, You Ye also politely nodded in response.
"Congratulations on waking up, Miss Nero." You Ye smiled slightly, got up and walked to Nero, "I have helped you connect your arm, and your nerves have also recovered to their original state. There shouldn't be anything missing. Of course, if Miss Nero still feels uncomfortable, I can continue to adjust it. "
Nero pressed her palm on the original position of the broken shoulder, and then slightly swung her arm twice. She looked quite happy, "This technique is much better than the clubhouse, and there is no feeling of awkwardness at all. You really helped me a lot. I thought I would have to eat with one hand in the future. "
Miss Maid smiled, and then returned the box used to carry the soul to Nero.
"The cost of retreat and treatment have been deducted." Miss Maid said softly, "Of course there's more … Do you need me to recommend something of equal value to you?"
Nero shook the box, "It's really expensive … There's only one left. But forget it, there seems to be a lot of places nearby where I can earn 'money'. "
"Then, I hope you can earn more." Miss Maid smiled.
"Of course." Nero also smiled, then stood up and stretched her neck and limbs, "Ah, I'm a little hungry. Can I have a meal here? Speaking of which, I really miss your culinary skills. "
"If you don't mind, please wait for a moment." The servant girl nodded.
Entertaining guests was one of the duties of a maid.
"It's okay. I don't have anywhere to go now anyway. I've always been very patient." Nero sat down at once, stretched and said, "Speaking of which, can I take a shower while I'm at it? If there's one left, it should be okay to borrow the bathroom here, right? "
"You're really a generous guest." You Ye said indifferently, "But if it's just a shower, it's too much … Well, just take it as a gift for this transaction."
"Okay!" Nero stood up directly.
But at this moment.
"Why …"
It was Momo's voice.
The voice made Nero and You Ye look at Momo at the same time — He didn't leave during this time. Why didn't he leave? Was he waiting for Nero to wake up or waiting for something else? Even he himself didn't know.
He really couldn't think of the reason why he stayed … It was just that he wasn't expelled by Miss Maid. But … why?
"Mr. Momo, what's the matter?" You Ye asked softly. "Oh, the tea is cold. I'm sorry, I'll change it for you right away."
"No!!"
Momo moved his eyes away, clenching his fists … Even though he had seen the terrifying power of this beautiful servant girl, even though he was more frightened now, "Why can we discuss these things so easily? Don't tell me … don't tell me this is really just … just a currency? "
You Ye stroked her cheek, tilting her head and following Momo's sight, looking at the box on the table, "Mr. Momo is talking about the soul."
Momo nodded silently.
You Ye said, "But last time, didn't I tell Mr. Momo about the transaction rules here?"
"I know!"
Momo became a bit excited, "But I still can't believe it! Even though I saw it with my own eyes, I still can't believe it! Why … why would the senior's shop make such things! Why … the senior … he is so kind and benevolent while Miss You Ye is so noble! Why … why would he do such a cruel thing?! "
"Thank you very much, Mr. Momo." Miss Maid said softly, "I'm glad to hear your praise for my master. But … what you see is the real appearance of this shop, there's no falsehood. Anyone who comes here can get what they want by paying the corresponding price. We trade all kinds of precious things, and all the time, people use … souls the most. "
"You … Senior, why do you collect souls …" Momo suddenly felt cold.
Even though the weather in the shop was different from the outside, the coldness came from the bottom of his heart.
"It's about the secret of the shop, I'm sorry I can't answer your question." Miss Maid said calmly, "Of course, if Mr. Momo really wants to know, you can pay the corresponding price."
"Oh! I want to know! I want to know! Here! "At this time, Nero opened the box containing the soul very quickly.
"Miss Nero, you are naughty." Miss Maid smiled at this time.
"What a scary look." Nero shrunk her neck and closed the box obediently.
But at this moment, she suddenly heard the bell at the entrance of the lobby — it wasn't that a guest came in, but Momo directly rushed out with his head lowered.
You Ye looked at it indifferently.
"Righteous brother, don't you want to have a meal with me to celebrate my escape from death? Hey ~ ~ ~ "
Nero shouted a few words, then looked at You Ye and shrugged, "It seems that he really left … But then again, beautiful sister, isn't she a bit too strict?"
"Because there's no need to deceive." You Ye said softly, "This gentleman seems to have some misunderstandings, it's better to correct them as soon as possible."
"I'm going to take a bath." Nero yawned and stood up.
"Take care." You Ye bowed elegantly to Nero.
…
…
He didn't know why he rushed out like this … Momo lowered his head and rushed forward, only feeling like a deserter.
He ran across several streets in a single breath. With the special characteristics of cultivators, this kind of exercise only made his body heat up slightly. The wind that blew in on this cold day turned into a cool breeze because of this.
Momo exhaled, white mist exhaled from his mouth and nose. The street wasn't deserted at this moment.
This seemed to be … the place where Nero fought with the two powerful warriors.
Now that the thick fog had dispersed, the street was blocked. There seemed to be cordons in front and behind. At the same time, there were traffic police guarding here.
Some reporters were interviewing here but were blocked by the traffic police … At the same time, some nearby residents also walked out of their houses.
Momo heard some conversations in the crowd.
The public did not know much about the accident. It seemed that a family of three had been involved in a car accident, and no one was spared … However, from afar, the car that had been involved in the accident had been covered by a huge black tent by the traffic police. It was impossible to see the damage done to it.
At the same time, Momo saw two men who gave him a different feeling from ordinary policemen and traffic police … Momo sensed some familiar smell from them.
They were also wearing a small badge on their bodies … He remembered that Captain Ling Feng from the Administration also had a similar accessory on his body.
"Are they from the Administration … involved in this matter?"
Momo glanced at the crowd for a while before leaving the crowd swiftly.
He heard from his master, Changhe Taoist, that the Administration not only dealt with the Taoist and Monster World but also dealt with the aftermath. For example, they dealt with some crazy Monster Clan who destroyed the society or arrested some Taoist who had fallen into the devil's path who killed indiscriminately.
'I don't know if this matter will be traced back to the senior …' Momo thought subconsciously.
But soon he patted his cheeks with both hands, mocking himself, "Why am I still thinking about him now …"
…
Those who fainted in the thick fog had gradually woken up. Momo didn't care about how to deal with this matter.
Anyway, with the support of the State Administration, there should be a way to deal with this kind of thing, right?
Tsingtao Beer.
He bought it on the way back … Actually, Momo seldom drank.
At this moment, he had returned to the empty room of another guesthouse where Zhan Er was placed. He sat in the corner of the room with several empty cans beside him.
"Leave tomorrow … I really don't know when you'll wake up." Momo looked at Zhan Er with heavy eyelids, "Sometimes I really envy you, you don't need to worry about anything."
He felt sleepy.
Suddenly, Momo was awakened from his sleep by some noises … It was the sound of a can hitting against the foot of the bed due to the wind outside.
Momo opened his eyes, feeling a bit dazed — but he soon sobered up completely.
Because he saw a long shadow under the moonlight, which was reflected on the floor of the room … Momo abruptly looked towards the balcony outside the sliding glass door.
A figure was standing here under the dim light of the night.
"It's you!" Momo's drunkenness was instantly sobered up.
The person who had suddenly appeared here was the mysterious man with the bronze mask whom he had met not long ago in the ancient well of the Song Family ancestral mansion!
Just like that day, the man was still wearing a simple bronze mask, standing with hands clasped behind his back.
Momo immediately grabbed the black wooden sword beside him. He felt ashamed of his vigilance and became nervous … How did the mysterious man find him twice?
However, when Momo's palm was about to reach the wooden sword, the mysterious man flicked his finger, and the wooden sword on the wall was bounced away by a gust of wind.
Momo was both shocked and angry. However, the mysterious man with the bronze mask had already made another move. A yellow talisman was caught between his fingers and he threw it out.
That yellow talisman turned into a beam of golden light, binding Momo tightly like a rope — Momo directly fell to the ground.
"Although I don't know what happened to you, you're like a stray dog now."
The man with the bronze mask walked slowly into the room, walking towards Zhan Er who was beside the bed.
"Stop! What do you want to do! "
"I'm just taking back some necessary things." The man with the bronze mask said indifferently, "You think it's his lucky chance to get the imperial edict. But for me, it's the same no matter who gets it … as long as he can take it out smoothly. "
"Who the hell are you! What's your purpose? "
Momo knelt down on the ground and then stood up. He tried to use all his power to break free from the binding — but he couldn't break free from the golden light!
The mysterious man looked at Momo, "You're very excellent, you should have more room for development. It's just this world that binds you. Soon … soon you'll see a suitable era for you. "
"What?" Momo gave a start.
In fact, Momo didn't feel any killing intent from this mysterious man at the bottom of the well or this time.
Otherwise, he could have killed him without waiting for him to notice, instead of tying him up like he was doing now.
"That man doesn't seem to be here." The mysterious man said in a low voice, "So this time, no one will stop me … I've dodged a calamity."
Momo couldn't break free, but he still dashed towards the mysterious man in the most simple and violent way.
"You seem to be stimulated by something today?" The mysterious man said indifferently, "But you'd better not vent your anger on others."
The man with the bronze mask hit Momo's chest with his palm, sending him flying and crashing against the wall.
Momo spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted after falling to the ground.
"The things we have prepared are more or less complete. We're just short of …"
