Ye Zhou finally managed to save enough money to open a large supermarket, but when he was about to showcase his skills, he realized that he might have a mental illness.
——Every morning the su...
Ye Zhou was uneasy because he didn't wait for Cao'er to come back. He wanted to find Sarah, but what was more important at the moment was Cao'er's safety and the news she had found out. Because there were no street lights in the town, it was impossible to illuminate the entire town by relying on the firelight from the houses.
Even with a telescope, Ye Zhou could only see Cao'er when she just left the house.
Ye Zhou saw that all the residents in the town took to the streets at the same time.
I saw Cao'er running out of the house, and then being taken to an alley by the old woman. The two talked for a while, and then Cao'er followed the old woman obediently.
Ye Zhou, who could only see but not hear, just remembered now that he actually forgot to let Cao'er wear the micro camera!
He cursed himself for being stupid and felt anxious.
"Let's go in now." Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming. He frowned and never put down the telescope in his hand. Although Ye Zhou was tired after standing from day to night, his spirit was always highly tense.
It would be better for him to do it himself.
At least you won't be so nervous.
Zou Ming disagreed: "Let's see, Cao'er should know her limits. She has a gun and won't be held hostage easily."
Ye Zhou pursed his lips and raised his arm again.
But before that, Cao'er followed the old woman to a corner and entered a corner that could not be seen by the telescope.
Ye Zhou couldn't help but say, "Wait until daybreak. If we don't see Cao'er coming out at daybreak, we'll go in and catch the dwarf."
Although Ye Zhou felt that torture was not very "civilized".
But once the safety of those around him is threatened, Ye Zhou's bottom line will be infinitely lowered.
Zou Ming nodded and did not try to persuade him any further. After all, he knew what kind of person Ye Zhou was.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait too long. Just when the morning light was about to rise, Ye Zhou saw a beam of light suddenly light up in the window of a house. The beam flashed three times, telling Ye Zhou and them where Cao'er was and asking them to come directly into the house.
This was the secret code they agreed upon on the way here.
"Let's go before the rooster crows." Ye Zhou quickly packed up.
He had to see the grass to feel at ease.
Zou Ming packed his things in silence. He didn't let Ye Zhou take anything. Ye Zhou couldn't snatch it away, so he could only let Zou Ming carry it.
Fortunately, the city wall is low and there are no soldiers guarding the city. After all, it is not a war period, and the city defense is almost non-existent. Moreover, given the size of this town, there would probably be no city defense measures if there really was a war.
Everyone in the town is still resting. In an era without electricity and entertainment, people worked from sunrise to sunset no matter where they were.
Kerosene lamps also burn oil, and before the industrial age, all kinds of oil were very expensive.
Ye Zhou and Zou Ming easily climbed over the wall and sneaked in.
There was no night watchman or patrol, and there was no fire in the town. They soon found the house where Cao'er sent the signal.
Although it was still unclear what had happened, Ye Zhou roughly knew why Cao'er followed the old woman obediently.
Because she is not a "prey", but a new teammate recruited by the hunters.
Ye Zhou was about to knock on the door gently, but as soon as he raised his hand, the door opened from the inside out.
Cao'er was holding a kerosene lamp and half of her head stuck out. After seeing Ye Zhou's face clearly, she left and opened all the doors. After Ye Zhou and Zou Ming went in, Cao'er leaned outside the door and looked around. She closed the door only after making sure that no one noticed.
After closing the door, she still felt uneasy, so she pushed the cabinet she had pushed in earlier against the door.
After making sure it was safe, Cao'er put the kerosene lamp on the table. It was the first time she had seen a kerosene lamp, but she lost interest in it after just two minutes of curiosity. If she hadn't been worried that the flashlight was too bright, Cao'er wouldn't have used the kerosene lamp.
Ye Zhou sat down on the chair, feeling relieved.
Zou Ming took out water and bread from his backpack.
Because he was worried about Sarah and Cao'er, Ye Zhou didn't eat anything at night. Now that he saw people and felt relieved, Ye Zhou suddenly felt hungry. However, he was not in a hurry to eat. He waited for Cao'er to come over and tell them what she had discovered.
Cao'er sat across from Ye Zhou and Zou Ming. After thinking carefully, she said, "It seems that the people here are all human traffickers. They trick relatives and fellow villagers to come here, feed them some medicine, and then someone will take those people away when they fall asleep. But they didn't tell me where they would take them."
"I'm afraid they're taking him to do hard labor?" Cao'er racked her brains and could only think of this one destination, but she was puzzled and said, "But there are children here. I'm afraid the children can't do hard labor."
Soon, Cao'er slapped her forehead and said, "I was stupid. There is no shortage of children being bought and sold everywhere."
Ye Zhou shook his head. He combined Sarah's identity with the information Cao'er had obtained and quickly came to a conclusion.
This town is a town that provides fresh blood for vampires.
The people living in this town are the minions controlled by the vampires.
They deceive their relatives and friends just to enjoy life in this town. If they compromise once, there will be a second, third, and countless times thereafter.
Life here should be more than a little better than other places, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people abandoning their conscience and bottom line and doing this even though they know they are harming others.
"Let's put other things aside for now." Ye Zhou was no longer in a hurry to do business.
Compared to doing business, there is something else he needs to do urgently.
"Sarah is here." Ye Zhou said to Cao'er, "We have to find her."
Cao'er was stunned for two seconds, and she asked curiously, "Didn't my sister go back to her dimension? She came here quietly? Then why should we go to find her? Shouldn't she come to find us?"
Ye Zhou could only patiently explain to Cao'er everything about Sarah in this plane.
Cao'er looked at Ye Zhou in disbelief. She opened her mouth slightly and asked in a trembling voice, "Sister, her hands and feet are all broken?"
Cao'er was confused after hearing this. She couldn't believe that Sarah would be so weak, and she didn't want to believe that Sarah would be bullied.
In her impression, Sarah has always been strong, no one can bully her, she can do whatever she wants, and she is the person Cao'er longs to be.
But now the immortal told her that Sarah was being bullied and abused, and even had her limbs broken so that she could only crawl on the ground.
"My sister..." Cao'er's voice was difficult, "Where might she be imprisoned?"
Cao'er stood up excitedly. She felt that the time had come for her to repay Sarah. Ever since Sarah came to the supermarket, she had always had the best relationship with her and was willing to take care of her, teach her and take care of her.
She always felt that she had no chance to repay Sarah. Sarah was too powerful, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not reach Sarah's level.
But now, she has this opportunity.
But Cao'er couldn't be happy. She sniffed, and although she didn't cry, she looked almost the same as if she had cried.
"I saw her in the alley behind the castle." Ye Zhou tapped his fingers on the table. "Zou Ming and I can't stay here forever. We have to come in through the city gate tomorrow."
Ye Zhou: "Zou Ming and I will create another identity then."
The possibility of two men being treated as prey was already low, and if they were outsiders with no relatives in this town, the possibility of them being plundered was even greater.
There are many old and weak people living here. Perhaps it is because they cannot find jobs to support themselves if they leave here, so they are willing to become ghosts.
Without a way out, they will of course become more devoted and combine their own interests with those of the vampires.
Cao'er nodded, but she was still a little nervous and said, "The dwarf told me that the duchess who ruled this town lived in the castle. She also warned me that no matter what happened or for what reason, I must not go near the three alleys next to the castle. Only servants who serve the duke in the castle can walk in those three alleys."
"Normally there are people in the castle watching to see if anyone breaks into the alley."
"If they did, they would arrest them."
Cao'er whispered, "She didn't tell me what she was going to do with it, but since it's a leech monster, she must have kept it to suck blood."
Ye Zhou: “…”
Yes, to this day, Cao'er still doesn't know about vampires, he only knows about leech monsters.
Although both of them are blood-sucking, the difference between the two is too great.
"Then let's go at night." Ye Zhou, "This town has been peaceful for a long time, they will be alert and want to rest late at night."
Ye Zhou didn't believe that any dangerous place was the safest. If he went there during the day, not to mention the servants who were monitoring the surrounding areas in the castle, even the residents passing by would be able to discover him.
It is still safer at night. Even if they are seen, the other party will definitely not be able to see their faces clearly.
Ye Zhou said softly, "Tomorrow night, the sooner the better."
"We'll get out of here as soon as we find Sarah."
Otherwise, they disappeared as soon as they arrived in Sarah, and any fool could guess that there was a connection between them.
Cao'er asked cautiously, "Fairy, can my sister's legs and feet be healed?"
Ye Zhou: "Of course, otherwise the Sarah you knew before wouldn't be healthy."
"We're leaving." Ye Zhou stood up. "Be careful. We'll come find you tomorrow night."
They had to be there before daybreak.
·
In the dark cellar, Sarah lay flat on the ground. Her eyes had not yet fully grown and most of her ears had been cut off.
She could hear nothing and see nothing. Her cut stomach and chest were slowly rising and falling. Her internal organs fell to the other side of her body, connected with difficulty by her intestines.
Her world was shrouded in endless darkness.
In this windowless cellar, she was like a breathing corpse.
Just before she lost her hearing, she heard her so-called brother say to her: "Stop struggling."
"Why can't you just die?"
"Aren't you ashamed of your bastard identity?"
Sarah opened her mouth with difficulty, her tongue half sticking out, and she wanted to shout for help.
But it could only make a "woooo" sound.
Who will...
Who will save her...
She's willing to do anything.
