So now, Black Crow regretted kidnapping this woman. Without him, at least now he could deal with these strong men without any scruples.
After dealing with the strong man, Black Crow kidnapped the woman and took her to find a way out of the pitch-black cage. Aside from the moment he captured her, the woman had no emotions, like a puppet without feelings.
Perhaps she was tired from walking, so the woman suddenly stopped. Seeing this, Black Crow thought she was trying to play some tricks, so he grabbed her by the throat again.
In the pitch-black environment, Hei Ya didn't know what the woman looked like, nor did he know what expression she had at the moment; he could only rely on his professional qualities as a killer to determine her location based on the subtle sounds coming from her.
Although the woman was a little breathless, there was still no emotion in her words. "Don't waste your energy beating around in circles. We can't get out. Even if you kill me in the end, you still can't leave here."
Her words seemed to irritate the already tense Black Crow. He increased the strength of his grip and warned, "Do you really think all these years as a killer were for nothing? Don't wear out my patience. Although I despise bullying a powerless woman, that doesn't mean I'm a good person."
The woman didn't react at all, but simply tilted her head slightly to look at Hei Ya, as if she had no fear of life or death. The dim light of the candle reflected in the woman's dark eyes, causing Hei Ya to hesitate for a moment.
Black Crow let go of his hand and instead grabbed the corner of the woman's clothes tightly. After picking up the lantern, he began to explore the cage.
Black Crow remembered that even though he was blindfolded and carried here, he could still sense the changes in his surroundings. Based on his initial assessment, the exit must have been different from the surroundings here. The exit should have been close to where he was now, so how could he not find a way out even after all the candles had burned out?
"hateful!"
Seeing Hei Ya beating his chest and stamping his feet, the woman couldn't help but chuckle and said, "See, I told you, you can't get out."
Black Crow felt that the woman was provoking him, and once again, he strangled her fate by the throat: "If you don't want to die, tell me everything you know."
Although the vein on the woman's forehead was bulging, her expression remained as if she were smiling, and her tone remained calm. "Let me put it this way, I'm also blind. I've been staying here as long as I can remember. By the way, the person who held the lamp just now wasn't there to lead the way for me."
The woman's calmness left Black Crow somewhat bewildered. It was his first time meeting someone who seemed both instantly clear and incomprehensible. It was like a vast, clear ocean, seemingly bottomless and yet in reality, unfathomable and difficult to grasp. This woman gave him that feeling.
"It's my bad luck. You'd better not try anything tricky and just follow me closely."
Black Crow's attempts were fruitless, and he didn't want to hurt her life for the time being. After calming down his anxious heart, he pulled the woman and continued exploring in the dark.
Black Crow had been imprisoned here for some time, but since he couldn't see the change from dawn to dusk, he himself didn't know how long. However, during this period, his adaptation to darkness had become stronger, so he could still explore in the dark.
But what troubled him most now wasn't the woman, but the strangeness of the surroundings. According to the woman, if she had really lived here since she was a child, then someone would have taken care of her food, clothing, shelter, and transportation. And according to his observation, every once in a while, a deaf-mute person holding a lantern would come to check on him, sometimes bringing him water, food, or burning incense, and sometimes just to take a look.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that there should be people living here. The strange thing is that he feels that they have been wandering around here for a long time. Not only are there no pursuers, but apart from them, there is not even a ghost in sight.
Just as Hei Ya was thinking and groping forward, the clothes in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. A woman shouted, and it seemed that the clothes had fallen somewhere.
Hei Ya looked back and found that the intact place he had just walked through had suddenly had a fault. It seemed that the woman had fallen from there.
Black Crow thought about it for a long time, and finally hammered the floor helplessly, then shouted to the people below: "Are you okay?"
The woman's voice didn't contain any fear, but instead contained a hint of inexplicable surprise: "Ah, why is there a pit here?"
Black Crow scratched his head for a moment, thinking of leaving without a care in the world, but his foot suddenly jumped down uncontrollably. After jumping down, Black Crow found that his feet kept making crunching sounds, as if he was stepping on dead branches. And judging from the distance he fell, this place was not too deep. If he brought one person with him, it should be no problem to climb up.
However, the woman's question made him vaguely realize something: "Didn't you say you lived here? Why are you asking about me?"
In the darkness, he couldn't see the changes in the woman's expression, but from the tone of her voice, there was a hint of helplessness and a touch of humanity compared to before: "I, haven't been here."
Black Crow said that this place gave him a different feeling than other places: "Maybe there's something interesting here. I hope you're not hurt. If you're not hurt, get up and help find some way out."
After the two explored the darkness for a while, Black Crow's expression grew increasingly serious. The woman, like a child finding a new toy, picked through the ground and found a strange little object. Curiously, she walked towards Black Crow's figure and asked, "What is this?"
After feeling around for a while, Black Crow finally found what the woman was holding. He picked it up and threw it back. This was not something a girl would play with. "It's just an ordinary skull."
The woman suddenly realized, "Oh, so this is what a human head looks like. How interesting!"
Hei Ya was stunned, but couldn't help sighing in his heart: What a terrible woman!
After the woman picked up various human bones from the ground and handed them to Black Crow and learned that these were parts of the human body, she seemed to suddenly remember something and laughed: "Oh!"
"What's wrong?"
The woman laughed and said, "I just remembered that this is the Ten Thousand Poison Cave. You live so close to it!"
