Chapter 180 A bloody scene that shocked everyone (two in one)
"Your Highness, we have arrived."
When the carriage slowly stopped by the roadside, the housekeeper Keisha whispered to Yvesette in the carriage.
Her Royal Highness seemed a little stunned, and came back to her senses after a few seconds: "Yes, I understand."
She seemed to be thinking about something and looked absent-minded.
It was not until she looked out the window at the emblem of a giant hand grasping thunder that she realized that they had arrived at the headquarters of the Mandated Punishers.
Thinking of this, she slowly stood up, looked at the other people sitting in the car, and smiled slightly: "We're about to see him, why are you all so depressed?"
Inside the carriage, Graya and Morris seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Eleanor, on the other hand, was wearing a beautiful little dress today and was happy that her brother was about to be released from prison.
Afiya, who was accompanying her, licked her fur worriedly, glanced at her own prince, and finally just meowed and said nothing.
Soon, the group got off the carriage and walked up the stairs to the main entrance of the Tower of the Punisher.
After verifying their identities, Yvesette and a few others slowly walked into the headquarters of the Mandated Punishers.
Today is Lynn's second day in prison.
After not seeing him for two days, everyone was running around outside the prison for him.
It's a pity that the opponent this time is the Imperial Parliament. In other words, it is a fight against the entire empire and the ancient nobles who have been entrenched in this big tree for many years.
The resistance is greater than you can imagine.
Even Yvesette felt frustrated and had no way to exert her strength.
Because Lynn was found at the crime scene, no matter which law was followed, the treatment he received was in accordance with procedures and there was nothing wrong with it.
The same is true for the continuous challenges we have faced these days.
This made Yvessite, who always liked to solve problems with force, feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately, everything is about to end.
Thinking of this, Yvesette's eyes turned cold and she took a deep breath.
Then she saw another group of people waiting for them further down the corridor.
Surrounded by many extraordinary guards, the leader was a well-dressed middle-aged man wearing a monocle, who was whispering something with the Fourth Prince Joshua beside him.
Not only the Fourth Prince Joshua, but also the First Princess Hillelina and her entourage were here.
They were all waiting for the outcome of the treatment of Lynn Bartletleon.
After seeing Ivester and the others arrive here, the middle-aged man wearing a monocle in the lead immediately showed a polite and calm expression: "Third Prince, you are here."
But there was no trace of respect in his eyes, and there was even a hint of alienation and disgust.
After all, in Glostin, no noble or commoner would have good intentions towards the princess in front of them.
What's more, there seems to be some old grudges between the two forces.
Seeing this, Yvesette glanced at him coldly and did not answer him.
Blake Cortez.
As the eighth member of the Imperial Parliament, the fact that he and his family attacked Lin En this time has already explained a lot of problems.
Even if we look at the entire Saint Laurent Empire, the Cortes family is a behemoth that controls the economic lifeline, has countless assets, and has invested in several areas including coal, medical care, railways, and education.
Come to think of it, Lynn had caused two major disturbances during his time at the border.
During one of these campaigns, he extorted a huge sum of two million gold coins from the local church and nobles to serve as military expenses for the Duke of Tyreus.
Another time, before leaving, he used public opinion and rumors to arouse the greed of countless chambers of commerce and nobles, who came to Orne City to make a fortune from the disaster. In the end, he set off a riot in the whole city, causing everyone to lose all their money.
Perhaps, the feud between the family and the Cortes family was created at that time.
Congressman Black and the family behind him probably have intricate ties with the large and small chambers of commerce and nobles on the border, and they may even have contributed to the embezzled taxes.
Otherwise, the local church and nobles would not be so confident.
And Lynn's move undoubtedly caused them to suffer a real loss.
That's why revenge came so quickly.
Seeing that Ivester did not answer, Councillor Black was not angry, but said calmly: "Since everyone is here, please move and go with me to Lynn Bartleron's prison for a chat."
"Everyone who is under the Punishment, please lead the way."
"Tia, what are you thinking about?"
In the dark and damp underground prison, seeing that Tia was lagging behind everyone for some reason, Xia slowed down and asked in a low voice beside her.
Obviously, he noticed the worry of his girlfriend.
Not only today, but also after she shut him out the night before yesterday, for some reason, the two of them have never had any chance to be alone.
It was as if she was deliberately avoiding him.
After hearing what Brother Xia said, Tia came back to her senses, her body trembled slightly, then her eyes wandered, and she subconsciously grabbed the fabric at the edge of her robe.
If Lin En, who is well versed in psychology, were here, he would easily be able to infer that this was a sign of a woman's guilty conscience.
"Ah, Brother Xia, I don't have any."
"No, you did." Xia stared at her with a frown, "Speaking of which, you became strange after that night."
"Is there something on your mind?"
He wanted to ask if it was because of Lynn, but he was afraid to hear an answer that would daunt him.
Of course.
Tia answered in her heart.
She was upset about that guy.
Ever since I left the interrogation room and went back, every time I lay down on the bed and tried to fall asleep, the image of that guy lying in my arms, barely breathing, would subconsciously appear in my mind.
Then an indescribable feeling of guilt arose.
This feeling made her toss and turn all night long.
She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Normally, at times like this, all I think about is things related to Brother Xia.
It’s all that guy’s fault!
If he hadn't always said some inexplicable weird things, I wouldn't have ended up like this! Brother Xia is suspicious! Thinking of this, Tia hurriedly sorted out her mood, gently lifted the long hair hanging by her ears, and forced a smile: "I'm really fine."
Seeing that Tia was still unwilling to open up, Xia felt annoyed but could not show it.
So he nodded: "If anything happens, just tell me, I will always be behind you."
"Thank you, Brother Xia. I'm very happy."
Having said that, there was actually no ripple in Tia's heart.
That’s not all.
Looking at the prison gate getting closer and closer in the distance, Tia felt a hint of nervousness in her heart.
The words that guy said yesterday are still lingering in my ears.
Brother Xia, are you really that kind of person?
She felt a little confused and subconsciously looked up at Xia.
And the other person happened to be staring at her.
The two people's eyes met in mid-air.
Feeling Brother Xia's concerned eyes and frank expression, Tia felt much more at ease.
At the same time, a feeling of emotion welled up from deep in my heart.
Although he is always popular with women, he will never neglect himself at any time.
really.
That guy must be lying.
How could a proud and upright man like Brother Xia do such a sinister act as he said, hiring someone to kill someone?
Thinking of this, the uneasiness and tension in Tia's heart disappeared.
Then she subconsciously wanted to reach out and gently hold Xia's fingertips, but the sudden feeling of rejection was like a bucket of cold water poured on her head.
I almost forgot.
Apart from that guy, I couldn't have physical contact with any other member of the opposite sex.
What's wrong with me? Did I subconsciously treat Brother Xia as a substitute for that guy?
For a moment, Tia's heart was pounding and her face looked a little ugly.
It's a pity that Xia didn't know what she was thinking at the moment. After noticing her little movements, he thought that she was trying to overcome the repulsion brought by the curse and hold his hand, but ended up failing.
He was suddenly touched.
"It's okay, Tia." Xia smiled warmly, "Don't treat me as a sex-hungry ghost. I'm already very happy to be able to talk with you shoulder to shoulder like now."
He said generously.
However, these words sounded even more harsh to Tia.
Obviously, the reality of the situation is not like this.
Tia clutched the hem of her robe tightly and her pace slowed down a little.
all in all.
Everything started to go wrong after I met that guy.
Therefore, as long as I pay off the guilt in my heart, I can completely cut off all ties with him after that.
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and suppressed the complicated and chaotic emotions in her heart.
Just then, the elderly Punisher who was in charge of leading the way yesterday came forward.
With so many important figures gathered here, he did not dare to neglect them.
"Open the door."
Councillor Black ordered calmly.
"yes."
The old punisher responded and then slowly took out his keys.
At the same time, a sinister look appeared in his eyes.
He was looking forward to seeing what expressions everyone would have when they saw the situation inside when the door was opened.
Especially those who are close to that boy. Thinking of this, the old Punisher quickened his movements.
Having spent many years in the prison for the Substitute Punisher, he had witnessed too many torture scenes and was infected by the prisoners' brutality and murderous intent, causing his personality to become extremely twisted and extreme.
At this moment, the eldest princess, Silina, seemed to sense a hint of malice in him and immediately frowned: "You seemed to be thinking of something bad just now?"
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
The old punisher's movements faltered.
At the same time, Yvesette finally discovered something strange.
"Is this a public prison for thirty people?" She looked cold and took a step forward, a hint of murderous intent looming over her. "Even if he is caught, he shouldn't be locked up here without clear charges."
"What did you do?!"
Even though the entire underground prison is forbidden to allow supernatural phenomena, the powerful and terrifying aura still suppressed the place under the instant outburst of Iviste, a sixth-level demigod.
For a moment, most of the people present felt difficulty breathing and their faces turned pale.
The elderly punishment taker was bleeding from his mouth and nose and collapsed to the ground.
Damn it.
Is this the monster princess that has been rumored in the imperial capital?
With his own strength close to the fifth level, combined with the special features of the Substitute Punisher Prison, he couldn't even withstand a trace of her aura? !
The sinister look in the old punisher's eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a look of panic.
At the same time, everyone finally realized that something was wrong.
Under normal circumstances, the prisoners are locked up in a place like prison, suppressed for a long time, and unable to vent their energy, so there should be noisy sounds everywhere.
This is even a collective prison, so similar noises should be heard.
But at this moment, even though everyone had come so close, there was still no sound from inside.
Apart from the conversation between a few people, it seemed as if you could hear a pin drop.
This is not a good phenomenon.
For a moment, Eleanor, who was following behind Yvesette, turned pale.
"Is my brother going to be okay?"
The brother and sister had just reunited when the other was thrown into prison and his life or death is currently unknown.
This made her feel extremely helpless.
And Afia, who was lying on her shoulder, also had a hint of worry in her eyes and licked the side of the little girl's face.
Graya took a step forward and said in a soothing tone: "Don't worry, your brother is a freak, no matter who gets into trouble, nothing will happen to him."
Hearing this, the fourth prince Joshua, who was walking beside Councillor Black, suddenly smiled and said, "That may not be the case."
Eleanor immediately looked at him with tearful eyes.
She felt both fear and hatred for this guy, and she stood up at this moment, as if she wanted to curse his brother.
Sensing her inner thoughts, the fourth prince Joshua smiled faintly and shook his head: "It seems that you don't understand the nature of this place."
After saying this, he turned into a riddle man and said no more.
The eldest princess, Silina, hesitated for a moment and explained, "The Substitute Punisher Prison is an extremely special place. It can be considered a high-sequence seal in its entirety."
"If you are in this prison and your rank does not exceed the upper limit of what it can bear, then all your supernatural abilities will be forbidden invisibly."
In other words, if there was no simple and crude way of cracking it like Ivester, even a fifth-level legend would be trapped here and would become a mortal.
If this was the case for a fifth-level legend, what about Lin En? In other words, if something unspeakable really happened inside, and Lin En lost all his extraordinary abilities to rely on, the only way he could go was to fight with his physical body.
But in everyone's impression, he became a superhuman again and took the path of "holy knowledge", a research-type superhuman like Melanie.
In addition to being able to improve thinking and memory, it does not seem to have the ability to strengthen the body at low levels.
In addition, when entering prison, all the extraordinary items and sealed objects on his body were confiscated.
So right now, things seem to be getting a little bad.
Seeing this, a hint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince Joshua.
Although no one knows who did this, it was undoubtedly helping him solve a major problem.
Since that night, Joshua would dream every night of the young man ignoring the majesty of the emperor and killing Eunice in public, and then he would be suddenly awakened.
The whole thing seemed to have become a nightmare in his heart that could not be shaken off.
And at this moment, there was a hope that he could see Lin En die in prison. How could he not be excited? As for defeating more than 30 people with bare hands, it was too far-fetched and unrealistic.
Not only him, but others also held pessimistic thoughts.
If it were possible to use supernatural powers to strengthen the body, it would be possible.
But this is the Prison of the Made Punisher.
Apart from the fact that nothing actually happened during the prayer, everyone didn't know what to do.
Eleanor was about to cry, and gently reached out and grabbed Yvesette's sleeve.
Graya and others behind her also looked ready for battle and seemed very nervous.
As for Tia, who was at the end of the crowd, she subconsciously stood on tiptoe, and her slender little hands unconsciously clenched into a ball, as if she wanted to see clearly what was happening inside the moment the door was opened.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the elderly Punisher.
He lay on the ground trembling, clenching his teeth, as if unwilling to say anything.
Seeing this, a hint of madness and coldness appeared in Yvesette's eyes.
Wisps of red light bloomed in the palm of my hand.
"Your Highness, please be patient."
At this moment, Councillor Black, who had been silent from the beginning, suddenly spoke.
In an instant, Yvesette glared at him with fierce and brutal eyes, like a lioness protecting her cubs.
"Choosing to stand up at this time, can I understand that the Cortes family is standing with the mastermind behind this incident?"
She asked in a cold voice.
It was as if as long as the other party answered with a "yes", he would take action immediately.
Councilman Black's expression remained calm: "If the Cortes family wanted revenge, they would not use such an unpresentable trick."
"Besides, no matter how things turn out, what was supposed to happen has already happened overnight."
"In that case, why not ask him to open the door first?"
"After this, someone will thoroughly investigate whether his actions were in compliance with regulations and whether the Mandated Punisher was bribed, and give everyone justice."
“.”
Yvesette took a deep breath and suppressed the anxiety and murderous intent in her heart.
She couldn't imagine what would happen to her if something really happened to Lin En.
It's all my fault.
Why did he let the Made Punisher take him away as he wished?
If I had been more resolute at the time, would this have happened?
For a moment, the atmosphere became cold and silent.
Just like that, under the gaze of everyone, the old Punisher trembled to his feet and took out the key with sweat on his forehead.
“Click!”
As the numerous blockades were lifted, the prison door was slowly opened.
The first thing that came was a pungent smell of blood that seemed to be real.
“?!”
Everyone was shocked.
What kind of cruel thing happened to make the smell of blood so strong? !
Tears instantly fell from Eleanor's eyes.
However, the next second, a shocking reversal appeared in front of everyone.
At this moment, the walls and the ground of the entire prison were covered with blood, a large part of which had dried up with the passage of time.
But that’s not the point.
As far as the eye can see, countless corpses are in twisted and horrible postures, dumped on the ground like garbage, forming a small hill.
At the top of the sea of blood and corpses, a shirtless young man sat against the wall, his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling, not knowing what he was thinking.
He came to his senses when he heard a noise at the door.
And when he saw the huge group of people who had appeared in front of him without him noticing, and were now looking at him with shocked and complicated eyes, he couldn't help but be stunned for a few seconds, and then subconsciously raised his hand to say hello.
"Morning."
(ps: the big one is coming!) I would like to recommend a new book written by a good brother. After my own appreciation, I think it has reached 90% of the level of this book. It is worth reading.
Please give me a monthly ticket!!! (End of this chapter)
