Chapter 39 Dungeon

The new year has started, the weather is still very cold, the mountains in the suburbs of Beijing are still covered with snow, and occasionally there will be heavy snowfall.

Compared with the capital, the southwest is much warmer. The snow on the top of the mountain has melted. Most of the trees on the mountain have spring all year round. Even in winter, the top of the mountain is still green.

Some plum trees halfway up the mountain have already bloomed. Looking from a distance, the white plum blossoms here and there look like unmelted snow.

When Qi Yue woke up, her eyes were dim, the surroundings were very humid, and there was a damp musty smell in the air. Her head still hurt, her limbs were sore and weak, and her memory was a little confused. Where is she now?

After trying to slow down for a while, Qi Yue remembered something. Shen Jinyu had just killed Duan Cang before he fell into coma, and then A Ruo appeared and said that because she helped the villain go dark, the system collapsed and everyone was going to be dead. What happened to her It was very painful, she even vomited blood, and finally she lost consciousness.

As far as the eye can see, there is a row of iron railings, some straw on the ground, cockroaches walking inside, rats making "chichiji" noises in the corners, the air is moist and cold, and Qi Yue is still wearing Changlin's disciple uniform. , thin and dirty.

Qi Yue turned over with difficulty. As soon as she moved, her hands made a "squeaking" sound of metal collision. Her hands and feet were very heavy. She looked down and found that her hands and feet were shackled. She sat against the wall. After getting up, I took a general look at the place I was in. It should be a dungeon, and it had not been used for a long time. There was a thick layer of dust on the tables, chairs and benches outside the prison.

How could she be imprisoned in the dungeon? Did Shen Jinyu fail? He had obviously killed Duan Cang, and he was so strong and had people from the court helping him, so he shouldn't have failed.

Qi Yue couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Aruo, Aruo, what happened when I was unconscious?"

After waiting for a long time, A Ruo's voice could not be heard in his mind. Qi Yue called a few more times, but A Ruo still had no sound.

Qi Yue recalled the words A Ruo's horrified voice shouted before he fell into coma, "It's over", "The system can't hold on anymore", "Everyone is going to be doomed", "Host, you've caused a big trouble", and he had a bad feeling in his heart. The system She was asked to prevent Shen Jinyu from turning black, but instead of stopping her, she even helped Shen Jinyu kill people. If she had any disobedient thoughts, she would have to die in pain as punishment. If she did such a disobedient thing, the system would probably punish her She did it badly.

Qi Yue asked tentatively again: "Aruo? Aruo, are you still there?"

Still quiet.

Qi Yue: "I want to help Shen Jinyu go dark and kill all these people so that he can become a complete super villain!"

Deadly quiet.

It's over, it's really over now. Qi Yue's heart sank to the bottom. Even though she shouted, there was no movement from the system, no punishment, no reminder, no sound at all. The system was really broken for her!

The system is broken, so how can she get home?!

"You...what are you talking about?" Suddenly, a weak voice came from the silence. Qi Yue was startled. She looked around nervously, but she didn't see a single hair.

"Who? Who's talking?"

"I'm next to you," the voice raised its pitch helplessly, and several "dang-dang" knocks came from the cell on Qi Yue's right.

Qi Yue crawled over in the direction of the sound. There were no walls between the cells, but iron pillars as thick as wrists served as partitions. Qi Yue climbed to the iron pillars and looked carefully. Sure enough, he saw a black figure in the corner. people.

"There is actually someone, eh, who are you? Where is this?" Qi Yue asked.

The figure moved his body and said resentfully, "How do I know where this is? I'm just a thief. I passed by and saw this village abandoned for a long time. I came to have a rest, but I saw a group of people lighting a fire and resting inside. I originally wanted to steal something secretly.

The thing ran away, but when it was discovered, he was beaten and thrown here." The thief groaned and touched his still painful wound and asked:

"Who are you? Why are you here? Looking at what you were talking to yourself there just now, you are not crazy, are you?"

"You're the one who's crazy? Your whole family is crazy." Qi Yue rolled her eyes at him and didn't intend to pay attention to him anymore. This person, like her, knew nothing. She wanted to turn around and crawl back, but suddenly remembered something and asked, "

Hey, you said this is an abandoned village, do you remember the faces and clothes of the people who were lighting fires and resting inside?"

The thief thought about it carefully and said, "Those people were all wearing black linen clothes. Only one of them looked particularly handsome, but he was in a mess. His hair was messy and his white clothes were dirty. He seemed to be injured. The men even changed him."

Where’s the medicine?”

"Men in black?" Qi Yue remembered that those in the court wore black clothes, and the men in white were particularly handsome. Could it be Shen Jinyu? No, why did Shen Jinyu lock her in this place with her hands and feet shackled.

No, it can't be Shen Jinyu. While denying this conclusion, Qi Yue couldn't help but doubt, what if it was him? Who else would take him away except him? And if she hadn't been there when the final blow was made

Even if she yelled to kill them all, Shen Jinyu probably wouldn't lose her mind all of a sudden and turn completely black. Could it be that her revenge failed and Shen Jinyu was hunted down instead? Is it her fault?

Qi Yue was a little unconfident. Shen Jinyu had long known the truth about her parents' murder but didn't tell her. Shen Jinyu actually didn't trust her. During this period, she deliberately approached her to vent his anger. Shen Jinyu probably had suspicions in her heart. She did it.

So much, in the end, I couldn't go back home, and I was hated by the villain, so all my hard work was in vain.

Qi Yue sighed heavily, feeling very uncomfortable. She was locked up now. If Shen Jinyu came to interrogate her, what should she say? To be honest, if she told her that she had come from time-travel, she would probably be beaten to death as a lunatic.

Just as she was worried, a series of footsteps suddenly came from deep in the dungeon. Qi Yue's heart suddenly tightened. She held her breath and stared at the dark corridor ahead. The "tapping" footsteps became increasingly louder and louder.

Nearby, a tall white figure walked out of the darkness. Qi Yue stared at that figure. Behind him, wax fires lit up one by one, and the dim dungeon gradually became brighter.

When the last candle was lit, the face of the figure in white became clear.

"Duan Mufeng?" Qi Yue was shocked, "Why is it you?"

The man in black behind Duan Mufeng wiped the dust off the chair, lifted the chair and placed it behind Duan Mufeng. Duan Mufeng sat down, crossed one leg, and said with a half-smile, "If it's not me, who do you think it is? Is this your Shen Jinyu?"

?”

Qi Yue frowned and looked at him without answering.
