Chapter 156 Self-rescue (please subscribe for a monthly ticket)

With a pop, Xu Shen suddenly let go.

But the moment he let go, there was a scimitar in his hand, which pierced Xu's abdomen.

The surface of the abdomen was covered with lumps like toads. Even though it was cut open, the internal organs were exposed.

Xu Shen immediately reached out to grab it and pulled it out fiercely.

Naxu shrieked and retreated into the cell, hiding in the darkness and looking at the young man outside the cell in horror.

Then he saw the young man picking up its organs and gnawing on them hungrily.

He looked so hungry that he couldn't tell who was in the cell for a moment.

The changes here made other people who had not been fed into the cells look over, and those strange and playful words were also silenced for a short moment.

For three to five seconds, only the sounds of chewing and swallowing could be heard.

"Is he eating us?" One of them whispered, with surprise and suspicion.

The old man in a snow-white robe abused them, peeled off their skin, and took their marrow. They didn't feel any fear, only anger and pain.

But the scene before them made them feel as if they were seeing a predator.

Food and diners.

They were once diners, but now they have become food in the mouths of teenagers?

Under the gaze of the crowd, Xu Shen voraciously picked up the internal organs on the ground and ate them clean. Then, the young man picked up the scimitar, which was the clean knife that peeled off his skin, and now it became a weapon in his hand.

His combat uniform and sword were all taken away along with the leather bag, and the only thing in his hand was the torture instrument here.

The flaming hunger was relieved, Xu Shen wiped the corners of his mouth, scraping off the remaining blood and licking it off.

He glanced at the twisted figure that had transformed into a little girl in the cage. The latter had shrunk in the deepest part of the cage, clutching her intestines and stomach, looking at him in fear.

This Xu Shen is only C-level. Although Xu Shen is restricted by the forbidden ring, his upper body can still burst out some strength briefly to restrain him.

If it were those B-level ruins, Xu Shen wouldn't take such risks.

"You want to eat, and I want to eat too... But he didn't give me food, so I can't blame him." Xu Shen murmured to himself, with lonely eyes, his hands clasped together, like the old man in snow-white robes, praying softly:

"Pain comes from the physical body. With a clean mind, you will have no fear of pain..."

After the recitation was over, Xu Shen dragged his bloody body slowly back to the execution room and sat on the blood-stained chair again.

In the dark cell, as the sound of swallowing and chewing ended, silence gradually returned.

The next day.

In his drowsiness, Xu Shen once again heard the sound of prayer coming from above his head, from far to near, from blur to clear. Gradually, he opened his eyes and knew that a new day was coming.

The next day...Xu Shen silently wrote it down.

The recited Bible drifted into his ears. Amidst the pain and suffering, Xu Shen could only empty his mind, relieve the physical pain, and gradually became enchanted while listening to the scriptures.

When the scriptures disappeared, Xu Shen came back to his senses and immediately looked at the end of the dark cage, waiting for the arrival of the old man.

It took a long time, about an hour, before I heard the sound of slight footsteps.

The old man in a snow-white robe walked alone along the steps, carrying a lunch box in his hand.

He walked through the dark cage, looked around, and saw that there was no trouble, and there were fresh blood stains left in front of the cages he designated for feeding, indicating that Xu Shen had indeed followed his instructions.

He nodded slightly and showed a satisfied smile.

When he came to the execution room, he saw the young man on the bloody chair.

The latter is like a strange bloody human figure, sitting upright on this rugged chair, looking so harmonious.

He smiled slightly and said, "I forgot yesterday. You must be very hungry. This is your meal for today. Eat it slowly."

Xu Shen looked at him quietly and saw the lunch box placed on the table next to him. As the lunch box was opened, Xu Shen stood up slowly. The blood stains on his buttocks and thighs were slightly torn again, with blood seeping through.

But after yesterday's repeated tearing, there seemed to be another layer of scabs under the skin of his flesh and blood, and his flesh and blood seemed to have become tougher.

Opening the lunch box, Xu Shen saw a few simple side dishes, rice, and a large piece of braised pork inside.

Xu Shen couldn't tell what kind of meat it was, and couldn't care less at the moment, so he just grabbed it and ate it.

Although he had eaten yesterday, among the three meals a day, he only had one meal and was not full yet. Coupled with the blood loss and consumption of his body, how could he not feel hungry?

Seeing Xu Shen devouring his food, the old man smiled slightly and said thoughtfully: "I'll bring you some water next time to avoid choking."

Xu Shen said nothing and continued to swallow.

Halfway through the meal, Xu Shen looked at the old man standing quietly beside him and said, "Are we going to feed him again today?"

"No, the 'ingredients' haven't been collected yet. It'll take two days." The old man said with a smile.

Xu Shen was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and then continued eating.

"Have you listened to the Bible in the morning?" The old man, like a gentle scholar, was talking to Xu Shen with a pleasant look.

"I heard it." Xu Shen nodded, "It makes sense."

The old man's eyes brightened slightly, and he smiled: "It seems that you are very savvy, and you are worthy of being the Jiang family's Guiyue general. It's a pity that the Jiang family has declined, otherwise you would not have the chance to be blessed by my lord."

Xu Shen was silent.

The old man chatted a few more words about the scriptures in the morning. When he saw that Xu Shen had indeed answered the question and knew that Xu Shen had not lied and had really listened to the teaching, he immediately turned around and left with satisfaction.

After the old man left, Xu Shen returned to his chair after eating.

His face was hidden in the darkness, and the copper lamp on the wall had a faint light. In the dark cage under the church, only the whispers of the ruins and the occasional strange sounds were left.

Time passes while waiting.

Xu Shen couldn't tell the time. He could only judge by the prayers coming from his head every day. It was another new day.

One day, another day.

The fifth day...

Xu Shen listened to the prayer silently. He raised Xu Shen again yesterday, but other Xu Shen were already on guard and would not approach him easily again.

There are other ruins that still tempt Xu Shen, but they are B-level ruins and Xu Shen is not in danger.

The old man only comes once a day to deliver one meal.

For several days in a row, Xu Shen was constantly hungry and getting hungrier.

In the midst of hunger and coldness, Xu Shen found that listening to scriptures had become the most relaxing time for him every day, and had actually become his daily expectation.

Because after the prayer, the old man would bring him food.

Today's prayer ended again, and Xu Shen looked towards the end of the cage.

Not long after, the old man appeared again carrying a lunch box.

Seeing that the flesh and blood on Xu Shen's body was no longer bleeding, and the epidermis was gradually healing and scabbing, forming a blood-colored flesh film, the old man smiled slightly and said: "After a while, you will be able to grow a new epidermis. Although

I am not a person with reconstruction ability, but the regeneration rate brought by the ruin force is far beyond what anyone can compare to."

Xu Shen heard the tone in his words and seemed to be sincerely happy for himself.

He also showed a smile, but only he knew the meaning of the smile.

"Is anyone looking for me?" Xu Shen was not in a hurry to eat this time, but stared at the old man.

The smile on the old man's face suddenly faded and he said: "Are you still thinking of leaving? I didn't tell you before, in fact... the force behind the Light Chasing Society in the inner city is our Moonlight Religion."

Xu Shen was startled, and the glimmer in his eyes solidified at this moment.

"The Light Chasing Society... is pursuing our Moonlight Religion." The old man said calmly: "Otherwise, how could we have investigated your information so easily? If there were other big figures in the inner city supporting you, they would have come to pick you up long ago.

.”

"Oh, right."

He suddenly thought of something and looked at Xu Shen with a smile: "You are from the inner city and don't understand the layout of the inner city. Many cats and dogs in the inner city are big shots in your eyes, but... in the inner city,

Our Moonlight Religion is the real big shot."

Xu Shen's eyes flashed with a deep light. He thought of the way Mu Wang shook his head at him before leaving, and thought of the message secretly sent by the other party. Could it be said that these were just to stabilize him and prevent him from resisting and making trouble, which would implicate Mu Wang?

His heart was sinking, as if he were sinking to the icy depths of the sea.

"If you had shown your mask to prove your identity, I might not have brought you here, but unfortunately, it's too late."

The old man shook his head slightly, and then said: "I hope I won't hear you mention this kind of thing again. This is blasphemy to my Lord Moon God. You have listened to the teachings for five days and still want to abandon my Lord. You are really stupid.

…”

With that said, he shook his head and turned to leave.

As the old man's back disappeared completely, Xu Shen stood in the darkness. The dim light of the surrounding copper lamps seemed to dim at this moment, and boundless darkness came in.

It's like standing in the middle of a lake in darkness, with an abyss at your feet.

There were only whispers from the beasts around.

for a long time.
