Chapter 372 The Terrifying Castle Owner (32)
As for what the secret between the two was, Chen Yuan had no idea for the time being. Now, Tan Qing had become the foreman, and he should have no memory of what happened before, just like her, otherwise he would have come to find her long ago.
Whatever it is, the truth will come out in the future.
The most important thing now is to deal with the coming night.
They need to survive in Anhe Castle for three days.
[Attention! Various NPCs will appear in Anhe Castle. The Chief Executioner will not harm you. Do not make any noise after 10 PM, do not wear red pajamas to bed, and do not use mirrors to reflect your bed. The paper figures among you have not yet been caught, so remember to protect yourself.]
Remembering the housekeeper's instructions, Chen Yuan took off her yellow and red pajamas and changed into a pair of white long-sleeved trousers.
There was a small dressing mirror on the bedside table. Shen Yuan took it down and threw it into the cabinet, feeling a little relieved.
Before going to bed, she specifically asked Yan Cui for some information about the executioner.
She seemed to be very afraid of this legendary executioner. As she spoke, she looked around vigilantly, afraid that others would overhear her.
From her, Chen Yuan learned that the chief executioner was a position higher than the foreman, and his methods of punishing people were more vicious than those of the foreman.
The Pipa Song, The Bone Comb, The Cold Bench, A King in a Trap, Fear of the Five Punishments, etc., are enough to scare people just by hearing their names.
Fearing that Chen Yuan would go and seduce the chief executioner, Yan Cui even explained to her what each type of punishment meant.
The Pipa Xing (Pipa Xing) involved passing a sharp iron chain through the prisoner's scapula, hanging him on the wall, and allowing the wound to fester and rot until he confessed.
Bone-penetrating comb, this type of punishment is usually used on female workers and male workers with dirty hands and feet. First, the prisoner's delicate hands are washed clean, and then a nail comb is used to comb the arms. The sharp nails will scratch the tender skin, and blood will be seen in a moment. Then layer by layer of flesh will be peeled off until the white bones are exposed.
The cold bench is a punishment specially used for male criminals who commit adultery. They have to take off all their clothes and lie on it. There is a pile of solid ice under the iron bench. Water is continuously poured between the prisoner's thighs until the water droplets freeze into ice, sticking the prisoner to the bench. After the punishment is over, the prisoner's reproductive organs lose their original function.
Jun Ru Jing put the prisoner into a large jar, and then lit firewood under the jar to heat it. The temperature became higher and higher, and the prisoner became more and more uncomfortable. If he refused to confess, he would be burned to death in the jar.
The Five Punishments are considered the least painful form of punishment, including beheading, foot amputation, hand cutting, eye gouging, and ear cutting. This punishment is similar to quartering, but there are subtle differences.
After listening to Yan Cui's words, Chen Yuan became even more curious about the executioner.
This person is definitely not a good person as he can create so many terrible punishments, but why did the butler say that he would not harm them?
Chen Yuan was thinking about it and was about to ask something else when Yan Cui in the next bed had already fallen asleep, with a long and steady breathing sound coming from her nose.
She looked at the old clock on the wall and it pointed to ten o'clock.
After ten o'clock, no sound can be made.
Chen Yuan snuggled into the quilt and closed her eyes.
Naturally, she couldn't sleep under such high tension, but everything she might encounter was unknown. Apart from forcing herself to sleep, she didn't know what to do.
After closing my eyes, my senses became extra sensitive, and even the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside the window was particularly clear and obvious.
What was strange was that the corridor outside the dormitory door was so quiet that even footsteps could not be heard.
Ten o'clock is actually not late, and most people would not choose to sleep at this time, but why is there no sound outside at all?
There is only one possibility, that is, everyone in this cemetery has fallen asleep.
Shen Yuan couldn't help but shiver and wrapped the quilt tighter.
Sleep, sleep.
She repeated these two words silently in her heart.
Perhaps it was a psychological effect, but after more than ten minutes, Chen Yuan actually felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
Darkness gradually enveloped the entire castle, making it airtight, and everything fell into silence.
In the nest of bones, densely packed corpses crawled up one after another, roaring and screaming, and rushed towards the dormitory with purpose.
It was like a swarm of locusts approaching, leaving blood everywhere they went.
The turbulent and violent roar can scare people to death.
But the workers sleeping in the dormitory heard nothing. They lay stiffly on the bed like wooden men, unconscious.
Suddenly, the quilt under Shen Yuan moved, and a furry head popped out from it.
The little bat flew out from the quilt, gave Chen Yuan an ambiguous look, and then flew out through the hole in the window.
Passing through the cold dormitory corridor, with leaves whistling in the wind, the little bat finally stopped at the door of a dilapidated utility room.
Still flying in from the window, his eyes fell on the figure on the bed.
This person was not asleep. He curled up in fear, shaking all over, as if he heard the sound of a tide of corpses rushing towards him.
The little bat looked at him coldly, his icy eyes revealing deep mockery and contempt.
Growing up in a forest of corpses and bones, being bullied inhumanely every day, yet he is still so timid.
I really don't want to admit that this guy is the same person he was five hundred years ago.
Fu Qi bit his lower lip tightly, his sharp teeth bit through the lip flesh, and bright red blood oozed out.
“Get…get away!”
“No…no…”
He repeated it over and over again, hugging his knees and closing his eyes tightly.
Here they come again.
Every night, those corpses would get up and rush into the dormitory like crazy.
It banged against the door frame and scratched the wall with its sharp claws, making sharp and piercing noises that made it difficult for him to fall asleep.
As long as he let go of his hand covering his nose, he could smell the disgusting and rich smell of blood. As long as he closed his eyes, those rotten and hideous faces would appear in front of him.
But why? Why was he the only one who had to go through this?
Why did they wake up the next day as if nothing had happened and they didn't notice anything?
Fu Qi was so frightened that he didn't notice that a black bat suddenly appeared in the room. His cold and sarcastic eyes gradually turned into pity and sadness.
…
Tick! Tick!
The wet liquid on the ceiling condensed into small droplets and dripped onto the back of the white hand.
The cold and sticky feeling was like saliva. Shen Yuan frowned and opened his eyes.
Large pools of bright red blood gathered on the ceiling, dripping onto her.
Shen Yuan took a deep breath and lifted the quilt.
Her white long-sleeved shirt and trousers were stained red with blood, emitting a disgusting smell.
Oh no!
Red pajamas!
