Although I was a little depressed after being tricked by the wives, I accepted it calmly after learning about these unspeakable secrets and this unknown and terrifying side of myself. Later, they told me some related reasons. Specifically, because I have been busy with too many things in the past month and have met too many big men on the island, they secretly discussed and decided to find a suitable time to carry out this prisoner mission.
Also, because of my current state, I was becoming increasingly out of control, and they had no way of reminding me, so locking me up here was actually an indirect help to me. After all, if I had known in advance that something was going to happen to me, I would have been locked up here. Yunwen also understood my thoughts and did for me what I wanted to do most.
After saying this, the three of them stayed with me in this dirty dungeon. I was naturally still a little depressed, so apart from comforting me, they often just sat outside quietly, just accompanying me like that, without saying a word.
The reason why this dungeon can imprison the sirens is not only because of a recorded mysterious spell, but also because this metal is made from the same heavenly material as the Golden Que Sword. It must have been made by the Shurong tribe, but was later transported to this dungeon to suppress and imprison those evil things. So not only will it suppress me and reduce the evil in me, but it can also ensure that when I go berserk, I will not be able to break through the entire cell.
"Listen to me." After a long time, I spoke again.
Although what they did was right, they still felt indebted to me for conspiring with me to get to this place. Now, listening to me speak, they all wanted to kneel down to listen to my orders, and they were looking at me with such attention.
"The city cannot be without a master for a day. Although the hyena people have now learned to roast tree melons, potatoes, fish, etc. in every household and do not need us to prepare food and distribute lunch boxes, many important matters in the city still depend on us. After all, the hyena people do not have much wisdom and cannot manage their own tribe. So Yunwen, Lingshang, you two should go back soon to avoid being delayed. As for Su Yuexi, you should also go back to Bauhinia Cave. It is time for you to go back to avoid being held accountable by your adoptive father." I said.
"I'm sorry, Zhou Bo, I have discussed this with my sisters in advance. Can you see if it's feasible? If not, we will just follow your orders." Yunwen said.
I looked at her, and at this moment I could still remember the violence I had committed against her when I was a little out of control. I immediately walked forward and waved at her. She came closer and I tried to touch her neck with my hand. She knew what I meant and pulled down her collar, revealing her horribly bruised skin. I touched that piece of flesh with a painful feeling and accidentally hurt her.
I quickly retracted my hand, condemning myself in my heart, but she held my hand and gently placed it on her painful area again, enduring the pain and letting me touch it, even though I would hurt her again if I went crazy again.
Seeing that she still believes in me even after all this, why can't I trust her?
"If you have any plans, just tell me directly. Even if you want to be the Lord of Long Zhou now, I will give it to you. I have no distrust in you." I said.
She shook her head and said, "What are you talking about? You're making me sound like someone who will do anything for power, but I'm not. I have to clarify this. Zhou Bo, my arrangement is this: although I have to bring you here, I won't treat you differently because of this. So after the three of us finish our respective tasks and can come to accompany you, we'll try to come and not let you be alone. As for staying together at night, we've discussed it and plan to take turns, one person per night."
"Don't worry, Zhou Lang. We don't treat you as a prisoner. We just have to do it. As for food, clothing, housing and transportation, we will not leave you behind and will take good care of you. As for that strange disease, we will also seek ancient methods to cure it as soon as possible." Ling Shang stepped forward and said.
I also stretched out my right hand to her, and she hurriedly squatted in front of the prison door and clenched it tightly. I glanced at Su Yuexi, and Yunwen understood what I meant, so she called Su Yuexi over. The three pretty wives also gathered together, and three pairs of eyes looked at me affectionately.
"Okay, let's follow your arrangements. As for the black substance in my body, I will work with you to find a way, and we will try our best to get it out. During this period of time, I will rest and recuperate, and also experience what life is like as a prisoner." I said.
The girls all laughed at this. Ling Chang said, "If everyone had to live a life as a prisoner like you, wouldn't everyone be looking forward to coming in soon?"
I also laughed, and the laughter relieved the embarrassment and gloom of everyone.
In fact, the worst thing about a place like a dungeon is the environment and the smell, because this is a long-term problem. Of course, if it were other prisoners, they would have to face various problems such as poor food, extremely poor treatment, and no dignity. I can avoid this. After all, I am not a real prisoner. It is just a method set up to restrain my inner demons.
Fortunately, the environment and smell can be fully changed. With Su Yuexi here, these problems are not a big problem. She uses witchcraft to make the silt and smelly dust in the dungeon float away. From this, I also saw for the first time that the floor here is paved with stone slabs. As for the sacrificial pool next to it, it is difficult to move the water, so Su Yuexi used the second trick.
Manipulating witchcraft, the two knight armor statues on the first floor now had something to do. Their controller went to the utility room, found two buckets, came to the dungeon, and transported the pool water out bucket by bucket. According to Su Yuexi, they wanted them to transport the water to the underground river under the tunnel.
There were some rotten corpses and bones in the pond, which were also transported out and buried. After all, they were hyena people, and they were all family members. Digging them up and burying them would allow their souls to rest in peace.
These chores were basically all done by the knight statues. After a while, although they were slow in efficiency, they worked steadily. Slowly, wave after wave, all the water in the pool was scooped out. Afterwards, the two statues took the mop and washed and mopped the floor. They probably mopped it twenty times. I never expected that the exquisite knight wrist armor would be used to wash and wring out mop water and do hard labor one day.
I think the craftsman who made these two sets of armor must be extremely depressed. Where is the glory of the knight?
Basically the bottom of the pool was clean, without the filth, and a lot of crystal stones were exposed underneath. The next step was to find new river water to fill it up, thus turning it into a new spring water pool, and the stench here basically disappeared.
Besides, my treatment cannot be bad. Even if I stay in the cell, they are my wives after all. How can they treat me badly? Although this place cannot be said to be spotless, it is at least clean and tidy. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a special bedroom. Yunwen went to other rooms to find sheets and quilts, washed them in the sink, and soaked the flowers and leaves in water. Su Yuexi instantly dispersed all the water molecules, and the quilts sent in were basically clean and fragrant.
This way I can sleep well even if I sleep on the floor in the cell.
"Then we'll leave. Yuexi will stay here with you tonight, and Sister Lingshang and I will go back. After we finish our work tomorrow, we will come to see you. If we can make it in time, we will bring some dishes to cook for you. If we can't make it in time, I will ask Feiyi to pack the food and send it to you. Is that okay?" Yunwen asked.
“That must be possible,” I said.
"Then Zhou Lang, you should have a good rest and don't worry too much. Tomorrow I will bring the little foxes over to keep you company and relieve your boredom." Ling Shang also said.
"It's okay, go ahead and get busy," I said.
They looked at each other and were about to go out, but before they left, I suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "That's right."
I took out the black stone particles I had brought from my pocket and wanted to give them to study at home, but when I took them out, I found that my hands were covered with black ink. This thing had actually faded.
Su Yuexi took it from me and touched it gently, only to see that the black stone had turned into a dead black insect with black blood flowing out...
"The Rat King's blind insect." Su Yuexi explained.
