The Spirit World

Chapter 109: Pain

People escaped one after another...

Sharp screams broke the sighing silence, like a scream hoarse in the throat. Even if no one knew what those people who escaped saw, it must have been something terrifying. There was even a member of the sheep tribe who wanted to come back here, but he was hit to the ground by something. Blood and some things separated from his body and fell straight to the ground, and were pulled away in an instant, disappearing without a trace.

The entire "corpse", the objects that were smashed down, and even the blood disappeared without a trace.

"kurun" the sound of Jack swallowing saliva rang in his ears, he looked at the sheep sister in disbelief, the sheep sister shook her head to express helplessness, then looked at the cow brother, the cow brother was used to it, eating the thing hidden in the corner of his mouth, looking at him as if he was a fool, because he had told him such things a long time ago.

Sister Yang looked even weaker, and even began to breathe lightly. Her body could no longer hold on. She said that it was all because of her eyes. Those glass-bead-like eyes needed to be healed every once in a while. Now, it would only make her body more and more itchy, and might even fester in the near future.

The sheep sister is called Amieme, a name she gave herself. She said she would rather be a real sheep than a member of the sheep clan. Jack said that the beast clan and animals are not the same creatures, and it is better to have a good life to live than to be those lambs to be slaughtered.

Amieme looked at him, leaning her body, revealing the wound on her shoulder, with red streaks that had turned into scars on her beautiful white skin.

"We are now lambs to be slaughtered. Our beautiful lives are ultimately a joke in this world full of dangers."

Jack didn't know how to answer her, so he turned his head away angrily and stopped talking. Meeme sighed. The only good thing about it was that she could lean against the wall behind her to relieve her pain.

Jack had no way of understanding Amie's pain. He was attracted to this strange girl from the sheep tribe only because she answered his question immediately and, of course, because of her cute appearance. Although, her eyes did give him a bad feeling. He couldn't be blamed for this.

Brother Niu’s name is Raman. Just like he said, he has no father and no mother. He is always happy instead of sad. He is optimistic but cowardly. He has been here for a long time and has never thought about running away or living.

"Daman, you really don't want to go out?" Jack looked at him, somewhat puzzled. His mind was already full of thoughts of going out, but there was no way to escape at all.

The fear of the unknown was a little difficult for him to bear. No, it should be that it was a little difficult for everyone here to bear.

Jack already understood that this was not a multiple choice question, but a dead end question.

"Oh! Are you still thinking about going out?"

This was his answer. Jack should have known it a long time ago. He scolded himself for being too talkative and asked Amie again.

"Ah, mee, do you want to leave?"

Ah Meemie glanced at him weakly, then leaned against the wall again without speaking to him.

"Escape? How can I escape? It's a dead end after all. When I can't stand this strange disease anymore, I will escape. It's better to go and see that horrible monster than to die from this disease."

"Put a monster at the escape hole, and trap everyone in a hole. Escape means death, but not escaping may give you some chances of survival. I have heard of this kind of thing." The chief steward stroked his beard and thought. Jack looked at him happily and said, "The chief steward is well-informed and must have known the origin of this thing a long time ago."

Chang Yufeng lowered his head in confusion. He didn't quite understand why the demons Jack mentioned wanted to "torture" their "prey" in this way.

"This is a spell that uses living people as sacrifices." The chief steward said: "The place where you are should be a closed altar, not offering sacrifices to the sky or the earth, only to the devil."

"Yes, this is an altar." Jack's ears moved slightly, and the wound on his ear had already healed.

"How did you escape? Didn't they say there was only one exit?" Chang Yufeng was very confused, but he also knew that he must have escaped. This was an obvious fact. He was just curious about what else the little rabbit man didn't explain.

"And Dada, didn't you say Dada saved you?"

"It was indeed Senior Dada who saved me. However, he had not arrived at that time, and the three of us escaped on our own." Jack was very excited. After all, this was something he should be proud of for the rest of his life.

"Oh? How did you do it, Young Master Jack?" The chief steward seemed to have some idea in his mind. He squinted his eyes and looked at Jack, with a kind of respect for Jack's amazing ability at such a young age.

Chang Yufeng was even more confused now. He didn't know how to escape from the so-called altar. After all, an unarmed person could not possibly deal with such an unknown thing without brute force. There was also a possibility that the people imprisoned in the altar were only the old, weak, and disabled. It would only take some stronger monsters to achieve such an effect. It would be better if they were some terrifying and bizarre-looking monsters. It would be easier to produce the phenomenon Jack mentioned, and they could even be manipulated by the kidnappers.

However, there is another message in what Jack said, that is the devil. If that is really the devil's altar, then everything needs to be reconsidered.

There is no definitive conclusion on what that horrible thing is, but it can be said that Jack did not encounter that thing, otherwise, he would definitely say directly what that thing is.

"We defeated the guards. We escaped through the main gate."

"Ah?" Chang Yufeng had thought of everything, but he had never thought of such a method.

How is this possible?
Chang Yufeng was expecting Jack to continue speaking, while the chief steward looked at this seemingly weak rabbit boy with great interest.

"You must have missed some details and didn't tell us. Didn't you say those guards were very powerful?" Chang Yufeng continued to ask.

"Yes, very powerful."

"Then how did you defeat them? You were so weak that you couldn't even stand it anymore."

"Well, but we did defeat them." Jack looked at Chang Yufeng proudly, and then, he began to tell about his wonderful journey.

"We defeated them that day." He rubbed his itchy ears. There were some spots on his ears mixed with wounds, making them look very mottled.

[South side of Yuzhao Mountain on June 2026, , Principality]

For three whole months, Jack had been living like this: one meal a day, and apart from screams, he could only hear sighs and silent cries every day.

The people in the same group as Jack are getting weaker and weaker. They are tied up with chains. They can’t get any help from heaven or earth. They can’t stop themselves from committing suicide. Every day is filled with endless loneliness and despair, despair with no way out. If they want to be free, they can only...

escape,

Escape is indeed a dead end.

There is no end.

The endgame is to try to escape, and then,
death.

Jack was glad that he was placed next to Daman and Amiemee so he wouldn't be too lonely and could talk to them.

But their hunger did not give them the strength to say much, and disease began to spread in the altar. The light in the altar was very bright, which was completely opposite to all the despair.

The cries of despair, the screams of miserability, and the coughs caused by illness came one after another and never ceased to be heard.

There was even sunlight shining in, shining on the wounds that had festered due to the chains sticking too tightly to the skin, making everyone feel even more miserable.

This pain mixed with despair makes this place,

Furthermore,
bright.

Jack knew that he had to escape, even if it meant death, he had to try.

There is no other way to choose.

Even if it's a dead end.
