Chapter 379 The Terrifying Castle Owner (39)

Chen Yuan was stunned for two seconds: "Are you...Tan Qing?"

Tan Qing nodded and asked her sharply

"Did something happen that I'm not aware of?"

Chen Yuan handed over the diary: "There was a bug in the game just now. The foreman's consciousness took over your body. I didn't recognize it at first and almost got exposed."

Tan Qing had just returned to this body, his mind was in a mess and he had no strength.

"Sorry, I almost got you in trouble."

He smiled apologetically, his lips a little pale.

"There's nothing to be sorry about. We are teammates, and we should stand together through thick and thin."

Being able to leave here alive together is naturally the best outcome.

Tan Qing's eyes were touched, his heart suddenly softened, and he hummed softly.

"We're teammates."

Worried that Tan Qing's body couldn't take it, Shen Yuan asked him to have a good rest while he fiddled with the iron door on the ground.

She grabbed the door handle and pushed it down hard, but it was no use; the door was locked tightly.

When the foreman brought Shen Yuan here, he found an excuse to send the others away, giving Shen Yuan room to perform.

She kicked and lashed out, making herself sweat and gasp.

Tan Qing's voice came from behind: "How about...you try this key?"

This bunch of keys was brought by the foreman. Shen Yuan tried them one by one, but unfortunately none of them matched.

"Unfortunately, I found the place but not the key."

After resting for a while, Tan Qing's body stabilized.

He squatted down and observed the structure of the iron gate without raising his head.

"Although we don't know what's inside, it's definitely related to the mission. We only have two nights left, so we need to be more cautious."

"maybe...."

He paused, his voice lowered.

"Once you open it, hordes of dead bodies will pour out."

"That's also possible."

Ding-a-ling!

The sharp ringing of a bell echoed faintly in the confinement room, making people feel creepy.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Yuan moved closer.

Tan Qing's face was heavy: "The executioner is back."

—

"Executioner! Executioner!"

"Oh! The executioner is back!"

The workers cheered one after another, and the discarded shovels and iron blades were scattered all over the ground.

Chen Yuan, Wen Yan, Wang Jianguo and others hid in the crowd, staring at a light curtain that suddenly appeared in the air.

The light curtain slowly fell onto the circular platform in the center, and then a strong and handsome figure gradually appeared.

Walking down the stairs, the sound of footsteps was mixed with the rustling of the man's windbreaker fabric. A whip made of deer tail was wrapped around his slender finger bones and was very tough.

The cheers of the crowd gradually faded away until they fell silent, and no one dared to speak anymore.

The last ray of light dissipated, and the man's true appearance finally appeared.

Under the dazzling white light of the cemetery, the man's pupils were almost a light amber color, blending with the color of snow, and were extremely cold and without any human aura.

His eyes were unbridled, cold and indifferent, as if they were not in the same dimension. He was like a god high above, looking down upon the densely packed workers gathered on the ground, and his gaze was as cold as snow.

He got off the platform and saw Tan Qing standing in the front. However, the chief executioner didn't even glance at him, but instead looked at Fu Qi in the crowd.

His eyes fell on the bruises on Fu Qi's bare arms, the executioner frowned, and his voice seemed to be tempered by ice.

"Promising."

Everyone trembled and knelt down in unison, except Fu Qi who did not kneel and stood straight.

The chief executioner was not annoyed at all by the unruly behavior and turned his eyes away coldly.

He walked up to Tan Qing.

"Thank you."

Wu Wen's voice vibrated out from his chest, his tone was slow and measured, and he carried a powerful aura, controlling and suppressing.

During the time he was away from the cemetery, he handed over all affairs to the foreman. Just one glance at each other and he could tell that there was an outsider hiding under the body.

Tan Qing nodded, feeling at ease.

"It's my job."

"Since I've been away, there seem to be a lot more unfamiliar faces in the cemetery."

Wen Yan's nerves were tense, and she subconsciously hugged Chen Yuan's arm tightly.

The atmosphere around him seemed frozen, and no one knew what the moody executioner was thinking at the moment.

The executioner curled the corners of his lips again, melting the ice in the room.

"Good."

Chen Yuan and Wen Yan exchanged a glance, and Wen Yan approached her quietly and asked softly

"Yuanyuan, what's this executioner up to? I feel like he's discovered us."

Chen Yuan patted Wen Yan on the back to comfort him.

"So what if you find out? Don't panic."

The butler said that the executioner was not a bad person, at least not to them.

Although the butler was annoying, he wouldn't lie about the rules of the game.

Of course, two days later, Shen Yuan would be slapped in the face by his own words.

The chief executioner saw the little movements between the two and glanced at Fu Qi out of the corner of his eye.

The latter's gaze was also on Shen Yuan.

Oh, that's rare.

He waved his hand wearily: "Go away and go back to your work."

As soon as he finished speaking, a female worker suddenly rushed out from the crowd and knelt down in front of the executioner.

Everyone's attention was drawn over there.

"Is she crazy?"

"What does this female worker want to do? She's so brave. Isn't she afraid of the executioner's anger?"

"Tsk tsk, let's just listen to what she has to say."

The female worker knelt at the feet of the executioner, raised her head with red eyes, and complained word by word as if she had suffered a great injustice.

"Respected Chief Executioner, I want to report!"

? !!

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

Everyone was whispering and the atmosphere was completely boiling.

"Report? What report? Could it be that a male worker did something to her?"

"Oh my god, she's so brave. She actually told the executioner about this. That male worker is doomed."

"Oh? You want to report it?"

The executioner spoke in a deep voice, his sharp eyes cast on the female worker's trembling body.

The female worker was shaking violently, her fists clenched, her nails digging deep into her flesh, and she was constantly preparing herself mentally.

Finally, she exhaled heavily and said loudly

"I want to report female worker 0723 in the Corpse Worm Zone! While working, she used her beauty to seduce the foreman, seeking convenience, and slacking off every day! Not only that, she and the foreman have repeatedly committed inappropriate acts in hidden areas of the cemetery. I and several other female workers witnessed it firsthand! This is egregious. I implore the Chief Executioner to severely punish them!"

Shen Yuan, who was at the center of the conversation, suddenly looked up and glared at the female worker not far away.

What? !

When she looked up, she realized that everyone around her was staring at her, with expressions of gloating and anticipation.

"She must be 0723, she looks like a foxy girl."

"Hehe, you know what, even in work clothes you can tell she has a pretty good figure."

"I just saw her and the foreman sneaking towards the skin-scraping area. I think they're having an affair."

"Both of them are finished now. They deserve it."

"How did the executioner deal with the female worker who had an affair? I think it was the Trojan Horse punishment. What a pity."

"Such a pretty face, it's too cruel to impose the Trojan Horse punishment on her. It won't be too late to punish her after she sleeps with me."

This was followed by a burst of obscene laughter.

The executioner looked at Chen Yuan with a smile.

"0723, is what she said true?"

"Report to the Executioner! This is simply alarmist!"
