Chapter 268 The Cat and the Torture Room
The second warehouse is the "suppression chamber".
Looking around, they are all torture instruments.
Bundled wooden stakes, short gallows, guillotines, nail stools, torture chairs, rope sawing tables, weak electric cages—
The light and dark candlelight swayed among the falling wall lamps, and the shabby wooden table was filled with shocking "tools" such as whips, soldering irons, thorns, chains, and concentrated acid.
The ground emits a damp dusty smell, mixed with the fishy smell of dry blood, constantly stimulating the visitor's sense of smell.
When Xia Lianxing entered the first stage of the journey, he frowned.
She had never seen such a harsh environment. She suddenly came into contact with such an uncomfortable atmosphere and found it difficult for her to calm down the fluctuations in her heart.
Dang, click—
It seemed as if I heard someone entering, and a slight but harsh sound of shackles colliding in a corner of the Ankang Cang came from.
Xia Lianxingcao's ears moved slightly and walked forward silently.
All the Miaoxian Pavilion thugs here gathered in the first warehouse in the battle just now. Under the cover of spiritual consciousness, theoretically, there should be no more enemies here that have not been cleared.
You can notice while walking that the internal structure of this warehouse is one by one—
Every time you take two steps forward, you can see new cages and torture instruments in the partition walls on both sides, which are used for detention or imprisonment "preparation goods".
However, at this time, all of these cages were empty.
I don’t know whether it was due to the demise of the Hidden Gate or something else, but I can clearly feel that the development of Miaoxian Pavilion is like a stagnation period compared to the original one, and at least it can be regarded as a huge obstacle.
After turning a small corner, Xia Lianxing finally saw that at the end of the warehouse, there was a spiritual wood high gallows about three people tall.
And on it, a delicate young girl was hanging.
The girl looked less than fifteen years old and was only one meter and four meters tall. Her hands were tied together by a thorny rope, and she was hung on a wooden gallows like a death row;
Her feet and waist were completely tightened by cold shackles, and she was delusional when she wanted to move;
The simple and simple white dress on her body had been beaten and beaten to pieces under the fierce whip.
You can see through the white and soft skin that penetrates the hole. Such a weak body is covered with a lot of bruises and blood marks, which makes Xia Lianxing breathe in shock.
"Hiss..."
What kind of demon is the one who imposed a terrible punishment on such a minor girl?
She doesn't understand and it's hard to imagine.
"What's your name?"
Xia Lianxing calmed down his surging mood and walked towards her quickly.
“…”
However, what made her hesitate was that the girl did not answer her anything, but just looked at her with a long-awaited numb look, and even had no emotions such as "treat", "fear", and "survival"-
No emotion.
This scene made Xia Lianxing feel stagnant, and a feeling of familiarity surged into his heart—
"The ultimate pain will cause people to lose their will to ‘live’."
The master's words echoed in his ears, and at this moment, she realized:
Compared to these real existences who have fallen into pain and struggled with pain, how lucky they are to be in their own situation.
He can be rescued by the head of Fanxin in times of danger, selected by his master to become a spiritual envoy, and can enjoy the top environment, have sisters in life, have guidance from his master during practice, and can also grow up healthily under his care...
How lucky is this little girl who has just lost her family affection in front of her, who seems to be extremely desperate about the world.
A compassion arose, and at this moment she finally realized the feeling of the master's feelings when saving the other sisters.
——
"I'll let you go now."
Xia Lianxing trembled slightly, held the spirit sword in his hand tightly, and said firmly:
"I'll take you away."
After saying that, in the little girl's eyes that finally reacted, she raised her arm hard towards the Lingmu gallows-
Click!!
A purple sword light hit the girl's rope, waist shackles, and shackles with great accuracy. With three harsh sounds of gold and iron, the girl who lost her restraint fell straight downwards.
At the same time, the cat's figure flashed like a phantom. The next moment, the little girl covered in bruises was held in her arms with one hand.
"Um."
Feeling the long-lost feeling of restraint, the little girl's throat made a slight sound.
She looked at the beautiful and cute sister in front of her, who was faintly exuding sharp sword intent, and finally, she stopped at Xia Lianxing's cat ears.
"Safe, I won't hurt you. You..."
Xia Lianxing tried to say something to make the little girl not nervous, but just as she learned her master's movements and reached out to rub the other person's head, a very familiar touch suddenly came from her palms.
"?"
She was slightly stunned, and then gently pushed the girl's hair away with her fingers-
“!!!”
I saw a pure white soft cat ears appearing in front of her.
"this……?!"
Seeing this, Xia Lianxing immediately opened his pink eyes wide and quickly checked the other side of the girl's ear...
Sure enough, when she saw the iconic soft cat ears and lowered her head and sniffed the soft smell of the other person's body, she was finally sure-
The young girl in front of her was a member of the lower race, the "White Cat Clan", who was the same as the ancient black cat lineage.
Being able to meet the nearby tribe here has to make huge waves stir up in Xia Lianxing's heart.
Just like seeing relatives, a sense of intimacy will grow from the bottom of your heart.
She knew that many years ago, since the Black Cat lineage was massacred and destroyed by vicious humans on the sunny coast, the weak White Cat clan leader learned this tragic lesson and directly transferred all the few White Cat tribes, and lived in seclusion on a small island in the depths of the East China Sea where the environment was extremely harsh.
There are few people there, and it rains all year round. Even sirens and birds are rare, and they will not be directly found by spies from Miaoxian Pavilion and Demon Slaying Alliance.
However, even if you want to be self-contained and make up your mind to never return to life in the inland, it is not so easy to do.
At least, some necessities of life, food seeds, clothes and fabrics, etc. still need to be allowed to regularly let a certain tribe member risk hide his identity, return to the inland to buy and bring it back to maintain it. After all, in today's fast-moving world, it is very difficult to truly leave society.
It is conceivable that the girl in front of her can be caught and taken here to commit abuse, and will be sold as a "preparation commodity". Most of the time it was exposed on the way back and forth, it was like this.
——
"How are you?"
“…”
"It doesn't matter if the injuries on your body are hurt?"
“…”
"I'll take you out right away."
“…”
While Xia Lianxing was carefully looking at the little girl and checking her wounds, the little girl was also observing her.
After a short while, when the girl finally confirmed that she would not be hurt, she carefully stretched out her hand with a tentative nature, pointed at Xia Lianxing's cat ear, and pointed in an extremely weak voice:
"The sister of the Black Cat Clan."
“Hey?!”
After hearing this, Xia Lianxing was more convinced that he had guessed before, so he said softly:
"Yeah! Kid, do you recognize your sister? Can you tell your name? I will protect you to go to a safe place."
"Um."
This time, the little girl nodded seriously.
Seeing her responding to her, Xia Lianxing felt happy.
After about a few breaths, I saw the little girl seemingly trying hard to organize the language, and hesitated and thought about it. Only then did she timidly reveal her identity after making up her mind:
"I am the patriarch of the White Cat lineage, Yuan Xiaobu."
