Chapter 42: Garbage Should Be Cleared
Lou Mingxiao's teeth were almost broken, and he tried to stand up with trembling arms, but it was useless to just stand up. The man stepped on his head insultingly and knocked him to the ground again.
Step hard, step out of anger!
"Go to hell, go to die!"
Lou Mingxiao's mouth and nose were full of blood at this time, but his pupils were almost dilated, but his eyes were still stubbornly fixed on Xu Shanshan.
But even after witnessing his miserable condition, Xu Shanshan's expression remained cold. She seemed to have already fallen into the abyss of hell. She knew... no one could save her and the baby in her belly.
A smileless curve appeared on his lips.
Death is sometimes not the most terrifying thing. Living a life worse than death is the most despairing thing.
"I won, I won! Throw her into the pot and cook her. When she's cooked, we'll cut open her belly. I think she and Mr. Lou must have a child..."
"Let's get started, hurry up! We can't wait!"
These prisoners were shouting and screaming like crazy. This was a dark and gloomy place underground with no one to supervise them.
They can unleash the evil in their hearts and indulge in depravity without any regard, condemnation or regulations.
Someone jumped onto the stone pot, holding a knife and preparing to cut the rope, but heard a call to stop.
"Wait, I want to challenge too."
Different from the roughness of male voices, this is a gentle female voice that they haven't heard in many years.
Everyone turned around in shock and saw a very young woman walking into the venue. She did not shout when she spoke, but the strange thing was that her voice seemed to have some kind of penetrating power, and could be clearly heard by everyone in such a noisy occasion.
She stood there calmly, in her coarse prison uniform, yet she managed to look so noble and pure that no one could match her.
"I'm here to challenge you..." She looked at the prisoner who was stepping on Lou Mingxiao, and then slowly turned her gaze to the remaining dozens of challengers beside her: "With them, and the bet is myself."
woman? !
What a different woman!
Their first intuitive surprise was her gender, and then when they realized what she was talking about, they all looked ridiculous and wanted to laugh.
I really don’t know if she is stupid or has no idea what this place is. How dare she speak so arrogantly?
Her appearance interrupted the originally lively "liveliness", but no one felt angry, because they could watch another unique and "lively" drama next.
"You said you were going to challenge the rest of us?"
After loosening his feet, the man with draped hair and who looked like a traitor looked Xu Shanshan up and down with ill intent.
"Isn't it you who set the rule? If I want to take Xu Shanshan away, I have to defeat all of you?" Xu Shanshan smiled warmly, and her temper seemed extremely good: "I accept it."
He was stunned.
The others also looked at him as if he were an idiot.
"It's already a big deal that you can defeat your grandfather once, but you still want to defeat all of us? Do you know...how many people there are?"
Except for the remaining dozens of people who stood up, the faces of those who were watching the fun and making a fuss suddenly changed, becoming hideous and evil, and they slowly surged closer. It was obvious that everyone here was in the same group and were birds of a feather.
"Go, run..."
A weak and anxious voice came from above the stone pot. It was Xu Shanshan shouting with her last bit of strength.
Even if she died, she would not want to see a kind stranger suffer humiliation and pain for her. She did not want anyone to save her, as she could not repay any favor.
Xu Shanshan suddenly called out, "Sister Shanshan."
She was suddenly startled, her eyes were a little numb and dull, but when she heard this familiar yet long-unheard name, she instinctively turned her neck to look over.
She could only remember one person who called her that: Xu Shuishui.
The younger generations call her Sister Shan.
She only has a domineering and willful sister who has called her Sister Shanshan since she was a child and does not allow others to call her that.
"... Shanshan?"
She blinked hard, trying to clear away the mist that was blocking her eyes, and get a closer look at the woman who stood up for her.
But she couldn't see through that hazy feeling.
It can't be Shanshan's. There is no way she would appear on Black Island. Her master is a fortune teller. The Xu family's affairs have nothing to do with her, and she is also protected by someone.
She bit her lower lip and tried hard to tell herself that this was impossible, that she had heard wrong, guessed wrong, and her mind was confused.
After Xu Shanshan confirmed that the person who was tortured and looked completely different from the smiling Xu Shanshan in his memory was exactly the real person, he said nothing more.
"You call her Sister Shanshan? What is your relationship?"
She did not avoid anyone when she shouted, so those who originally thought she was just a "saint" with a not very good brain suddenly felt that her original purpose was clearly to save people.
"Knowing this is meaningless to you. What you should consider now is... escape."
When the word "escape" came out, her aura changed instantly.
All her harmlessness, kindness, good temper and smiling like a "Madonna" were gone.
Anyone who looks at her for a second now will feel a chill as if their soul is frozen.
"It's too troublesome to challenge them one by one. I'm afraid that with so many people, I'll just have to kill them... Oh, no, the challenge won't end until dark, so it's more appropriate to use the army's method of slaughtering them."
She was still smiling, but now her smile had a completely different meaning in the eyes of everyone.
Someone's heart suddenly tensed up, and he said in a stern voice: "What are you talking about, you little bitch? Who do you think you are? Even if you are the best master in the world, you dare not speak so arrogantly in front of so many of us! What gives you the right?"
Xu Shanshan stomped her feet lightly, and the windless air lifted her clothes and hair. The air spread out like a whirlwind, and rays of light spread out from under her feet.
They seemed to have life, stretching, depicting, interweaving, combining, and changing. Finally, a huge formation completely enveloped the huge area.
Everyone took a deep breath.
He looked around blankly, then stared at his feet in a daze.
A transparent film rose from the edge of the formation. It looked transparent, but when someone touched it, they found that they couldn't get through it... They were trapped? !
Trapped in this unknown formation.
Someone screamed in fear: "What is this? Why can't we get out?"
"Magic! This woman knows magic!" Someone was so scared that he fell to the ground.
All the prisoners exploded in panic, saying, "Open it quickly, or we will kill you!"
Xu Shanshan looked puzzled, and she smiled strangely: "Why are you suddenly in a hurry to get out?"
Didn’t they love to admire other people’s fear, terror, pain and despair before?
She claimed that she was not a good person, and she just believed that evil people would be punished by evil people, and things would change. Now it was time for them to experience... what it meant to cry out to the heavens and the earth for help but get no response.
