Chapter 321: Secret Room
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A moment later, a high-pitched male voice sounded excitedly.
He Lie followed the sound and was led into a dark fake cave by his subordinates. He walked around and arrived at a cramped corner.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards who led the way pointed at a secret door that was five to six feet tall in front of them and said, “Commander, when I knocked on this wall just now, I realized that the backwas hollow, so I tried to open it. ‘
It was pitch-black behind the secret door, and a cold, musty smell a.s.saulted his nose.
No one had entered the secret room yet. They were only waiting for He Lie.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards quickly brought over an oil lamp. He glanced at He Lie and walked in first with the oil lamp.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards walked down a narrow stone staircase.
Amidst the flickering yellow flames, one could see that the stone walls on both sides of the pa.s.sageway were covered in spiderwebs and dust.
The deeper they went, the damper and colder the air became. There was also a faint fishy smell.
“Commander, there seems to be the smell of blood.” The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guards’ nose twitched as they quickened their pace and rushed down the stone steps.
After walking down more than twenty stone steps, they came to a dark secret room. The roof of the secret room wasn’t high, and it was so oppressive that it seemed to touch the tops of their heads. The surrounding walls were mottled, and the smell of blood in the air became stronger.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard held the oil lamp and looked around.
The floor of the secret chamber was covered with tattered straw mats. On the straw mats were children in their teens. There were boys and girls, some were beggars in tattered clothes, and some were civilian children in rough clothes. There were at least a hundred of them, and most of them had their eyes closed and were unconscious.
A few of the children were even injured. There were bloodstains on their wrists and legs.
“Found them!” The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard raised his voice and shouted, “The missing children are all here.”
Even though the Embroidered Uniform Guards had seen many big scenes and had killed many people, they were still touched at this moment.
So many children had almost died in this dark place without knowing why.
Behind them, the other Embroidered Uniform Guards also entered the dark secret chamber through the stone steps.
Thinking that he also had a younger sister-in-law of about the same age at home, the square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard felt a little angry, as if he had experienced it himself. He strode forward...
THUMP!
A dull collision sounded.
The people behind watched helplessly as the square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard was sent flying out of thin air. He staggered back and fell to the ground.
It was as if someone invisible had whipped him and sent him flying.
The scene in front of them was too bizarre. The others were stunned.
The square-faced Embroidered Uniform Guard covered his forehead in pain and said in surprise, “l, I think I hit something..
There was clearly nothing in front! The other Embroidered Uniform Guards were shocked and looked at each other, dumbfounded.
Soon, someone boldly stepped forward and waved his scabbard in the air. “Dong, dong” sounds rose and fell.
“I think there’s a wall up ahead,” a voice said with uncertainty, unable to hide its shock “An invisible wall.”
“Commander, is this a ghost wall?!”
Another person immediately retorted, “That’s not how it works!”
The Embroidered Uniform Guards didn’t idle either. They raised their hands and kicked the air around them. They were certain that they couldn’t move forward anymore.
They were only 10 feet away from the children in front of them, but they seemed to be blocking an invisible wall.
Such a situation was simply unprecedented. He had only heard of it in rural ghost stories.
“Gao Yuan, report the situation here to the Emperor immediately,” He Lie ordered decisively, his brows deeply furrowed.
After the Embroidered Uniform Guard called Gao Yuan responded, he hurriedly stepped on the stone steps and returned the way he came.
Right on the heels of that, another tall and thin Embroidered Uniform Guard shouted from the east wall, “Commander, look here.”
He Lie quickly walked over and looked in the direction his subordinate pointed.
On the mottled walls, dark brown patterns were drawn. These patterns were extremely strange, exuding an indescribable sense of evil.
The tall and thin Embroidered Uniform Guard frowned and said, “Commander,
I think these patterns are drawn in blood.”
Everyone knew that the Embroidered Uniform Guards were good at torture.
There were decades of bloodstains on the cells and criminal detention in the
Imperial Edict Prison, and the smell of blood and rot couldn’t be eliminated..
