Chapter 469
In the underground passage of Chiba Island, oil lamps were lit on the wall, and the flames swayed in the breeze. Because of the wind, the passage in one direction originally had a strong stench, but now all the underground passages are dark, cold, wet and smelly.
Because at the end of that smelly passage is an altar, on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, blood will flow into a river, and flesh and bones will turn into mud.
After a long time, it naturally smells bad.
Regular cleaning has become the most uncomfortable thing for the errand boys. Unfortunately, the errand boys are all ordinary people with low magical talent. Characters who can only run errands, do odd jobs, and hit wherever the superiors tell them belong to the lowest class.
"You're moving too slowly, hurry up, hurry up." The empty underground altar echoed with the supervisor's scolding voice, "Why are you dawdling? Do you want to stay? How about I help you?"
The supervisor sits down On the cliff platform above the sacrificial pit, I sat on a chair and drank tea with relish. I didn't mind the smell at all.
The entire sacrificial pit is about half the size of a football field. The ground at the bottom of the pit is full of rune tunnels, as thick as small ditches. It is actually quite convenient to clean. Several people hold the water pipe and directly boil the water to rinse.
I am afraid that the supervisor on duty has a psychological problem and deliberately makes things difficult for the lower-level workers.
For example, it is clear that three people are needed to clean the sacrifice pit each time, but when the supervisor is in a bad mood that day, he only chooses one person to complete the work of three people within the limited time.
If you fail to complete it, you may be on the list for the next sacrifice on the first or fifteenth day of the lunar month.
In order to avoid this kind of fate, the pawns often find the supervisor to promise benefits when they fail to complete the task, or let him take whatever he asks for, and do whatever they want.
But if the supervisor intends to kill the other party, then there is nothing to say.
"Liu Feng," the supervisor crossed his legs, sipping some fragrant tea, and leisurely called a person's name, "the holy coffin has not been manually cleaned for a long time. I will give you a favor today. You Wash it. Wash it carefully and make it clean."
The handsome young man who was washing the water in the pit raised his eyes in shock, then nodded:
"Oh, okay."
As he said that, he carried the water pipe to a row of sarcophagi on the high platform of the altar, adjusted the angle and concentrated on washing the first sarcophagus.
"Hey, Liu Feng," the supervisor's sullen voice came from the platform above the sacrifice pit, "You can't understand human language or why? What is manual cleaning? Zhou Lin, you guys teach me Teach him what manual cleaning is."
Everyone will understand this immediately. Liu Feng will be sacrificed at some point if he gets in the eyes of the supervisor or other small bosses.
It is others who are facing death, and the others are secretly grateful and happy to obey orders.
"Xiao Jianfeng," Liu Feng asked in a loud voice before the two men came forward, "I think I have never offended you. You have made trouble for me again and again. Does Sister La know?"
He is not stupid, the holy coffin and Like the sacrificial pit, it used to be flushed directly with water pipes.
Ordinary people are not allowed to touch it. If they do, they are destined to it and have to go in and lie down. There will be stone thorns at the bottom of the coffin, and everyone knows the purpose of hanging a long stone slab that meets the specifications.
This is how the rune tunnel under the steps got bloody.
Don't say that he knows this allusion. Even if he doesn't, he has heard of the ignorant and dark custom of driving piles.
Let him jump in and clean it manually. His sinister intentions are self-evident.
“Hey,” the overseer sneered disdainfully, “You don’t need to bring out Sister La to scare me, boy, I just let you clean the holy coffin manually. And you despise the holy coffin for fear that it will dirty your hands. If the superiors hear it, let alone you, Sister La will be buried with you.
Go and wash it quickly. If the matter gets too big, Sister La will not be able to save you.”
He said it as if nothing would happen if he obeyed, but Liu Feng knew that the supervisor had evil intentions, and he would definitely die if he jumped in. Seeing the two cheap colleagues approaching, he immediately pointed the water pipe in his arms towards them and turned the water on them. Suddenly there was a commotion below, but the superior supervisor did not panic and watched the three of them chasing each other leisurely.
He looked around, occasionally looking around him in confusion.
I don’t know why, but I always feel like someone is watching me around. I touched my forehead, nothing happened. He stood up and went to both sides of the door to take a look. There were long red runes drawn on each side where the couplets were posted, and there was nothing unusual.
This rune is a gatekeeper talisman distributed by the superiors. Without a higher-level token, you cannot get in or get out at all.
No abnormality was found, maybe it was my own illusion.
But he didn't dare to let down his guard. Outsiders couldn't get in, but insiders could come in and out as long as they held a token. For example, the airborne captain Ala, that witch was recognized as someone who was in Cao's camp and had a heart for Han, but there was someone above her to protect her.
The witch is as warm as the spring breeze to outsiders, and as cold as the cold winter to her own people.
If she finds out that she wants to kill the people around her, it is very likely that she will die later. In fact, he didn't want to provoke these crazy ladies, but he didn't dare to disobey orders from above.
"Sister La? I just asked him to clean the holy trough, there is no other meaning."
At this sensitive moment, you cannot say the word "coffin" to avoid irritating some people. people.
In addition, even if he had other meanings, it was the meaning conveyed from above. If she has any objections, she can go to the higher-ups to reason with her. What’s the point of embarrassing these little minions?
He didn't know anything, he was just the leader of the errand team...
As soon as the thought fell, his mind suddenly went blank.
The next moment, the supervisor jumped off the cliff platform and landed in the stone trough. There was a sound of piercing flesh instantly in the trough, and a long stone slab crashed down from mid-air...
Soon, bright red liquid flowed out of the newly cleaned tunnel.
This scene happened so suddenly that the two people who besieged Liu Feng were so frightened that they stood still. When he came back to his senses, he discovered that Liu Feng was missing and the supervisor was also missing. Then he realized that the person who had just fallen into the stone trough was the supervisor.
Thinking of this, the two people suddenly turned pale and were at a loss.
If the supervisor died tragically in front of the two people, the superiors would be furious, and the two of them would be angered. The two of them were trembling all over. After looking at each other blankly, they gritted their teeth and ran to the door in unison.
When they found that they could run out of the door smoothly, the two were ecstatic and began to carefully choose the passage to leave...
At this time, Liu Feng was also confused and had not figured it out yet. What was going on? His eyes suddenly lit up, causing him to instinctively raise his hand to block it. After being underground for a long time, he had not been to the ground to receive sunlight for a long time, and he was a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly exposed to light, it is particularly dazzling.
"Who is it?" He asked softly with his eyes slightly closed, "What do you want to do? Let me state in advance that I am also an ordinary person who was kidnapped underground. I do manual labor every day and I don't know anything."
< br>It's not that he doesn't want to cooperate, it's mainly because Master Xuan doesn't live up to expectations.
Either he can't escape or he can't die, and it will be over if he is surrendered. If he is just an ordinary person who knows nothing, he will die. But now that he has an acquaintance in the evil master camp, it would be a pity to implicate her.
He is already inside a place that Master Xuan cannot penetrate, so how can he give up halfway?
“You don’t know the whereabouts of the butcher?” a female voice asked calmly, “Stop pretending, drink medicine quickly to restore your physical strength. I need your help with something.”
