This is the feast of the ogres, and no food on the table leaves the category of "human".From head to toe, from the inside to the outside, as long as the meat that can make up the existence of "human beings" is cooked into food in front of you.
Even the platter placed in the center of the long table is the same. Thinly sliced red meat lies quietly on the large plate, and around them, there is a circle of fried fingers.
In fact, these things are not as difficult to accept as you think. If someone tells you that these things are only deliberately made this way, there may be many people who want to try them out of curiosity.
However, this is not the case in this castle. The people here do not have a trying mentality for "meat", and it is enough to try it once.They were very enthusiastic about it. When Carlos signaled that everyone could start, the guests couldn't wait to hold the knife and fork and stuff the meat into their mouths like crazy.
It's hard to accept easily. How could they be so calm and devouring their own kind?
How can you eat them with a satisfied look on your face? ?
Chapter 223 In the basement...?
"Why would someone swallow the flesh of their own kind without any scruples?"
Alice couldn't help but ask herself this, she was forced to watch everything from the sidelines.However, she only watched it for a few minutes, and her stomach felt like a volcano ready to erupt. The nauseating feeling hit her brain, making her rise and fall in torment.
“Just like a good steak! So delicious!”
Alice suddenly heard someone say this. She looked over subconsciously, and then saw the other person biting a piece of thigh.
However, his behavior was not the craziest. What frightened Alice the most was the change in his eyes.Alice could clearly see what the other person looked like after swallowing the meat. Her cloudy eyes were gradually colored with ecstasy, and at the same time, darkness followed, bottomless darkness.
His eyes completely turned into the eyes of a beast. They were the eyes of a demon and definitely not the eyes that humans should have.
"Not only this person, but other people too..." Alice did not dare to look any further. She trembled and retracted her gaze, turning to stare at the carpet.
In this way, she spent a very difficult dinner amidst the sound of chewing and laughter.It wasn't until she regained consciousness that she realized she was holding a mop and bucket, standing in front of what appeared to be the entrance to the basement.
"Why am I here?" Alice looked at the cleaning tools in her hand helplessly.She tried hard to mobilize all her brain cells to recall the previous experience. After recalling the "unforgettable" experience, she remembered the task she was assigned now.
Not long after the dinner ended, Alice pushed the dining cart out of the banquet hall in a daze.The cart became very light, but Alice knew how heavy the original small dining cart was.
People died, were eaten, were eaten in front of her...
Such sentences kept flashing before Alice's eyes. She felt that she was probably crazy. Otherwise, why could she still stand like a normal person?
If it had been before, she would have vomited all over the floor or simply fainted.
Everything has changed, and at some point Alice no longer looks like the naive and ignorant magic apprentice she once was.
Just as she was immersed in the condemnation of her behavior, she was grabbed.The strength of the person holding her was so great that she couldn't help but let out a high-pitched scream.
After screaming, Alice endured the pain and looked back.
It was the big guy she had seen in the kitchen again. Alice didn't know his name yet, but she could tell that he was a "manager".The kitchen is under the control of this man, and he is also the culprit who pushed Alice into the darkness.
Thinking of this, Alice looked at the big man with a bit more resentment in her eyes, but the other person seemed not to realize Alice's strangeness and continued to speak in a calm tone: "Go clean the sheepfold."
After saying that, he pulled Alice towards the kitchen. On the way, he held Alice in the air almost the whole time.After standing up again, before Alice could even complain, two things were immediately stuffed into her arms.
At the same time, the big man said to her again: "Keep the white ones and throw away the black ones."
black?White! ?
what?
Alice had no time to care about her mental problems anymore. She looked helplessly at the tall back of the big man walking away, not knowing how to act for a moment.
"God! Can you send someone over to explain the current situation to me?" Alice looked at the ceiling sadly and shouted silently.
This was Alice's memory. When she recalled this, her shoulders slumped and a look of hesitation appeared on her face.
"Should I leave here right now? Or is it better if I change out of my clothes first?"
Alice tugged at the clothes she was wearing. She felt a strong sense of discomfort while wearing these clothes.
As if this is a murderer's clothes, but in fact, this clothes is like this.
But this gave Alice more reasons to change it. She looked at the clothes on her body for a while, and finally took them off herself with her hands and feet.
When the clothes stained with "unknown stains" were stepped on under her feet, she instantly felt as if the shackles on her body were being taken off, and she even felt that her breathing became much easier.
The problem of taking off the costume was solved, but the really important problem was the basement entrance in front of her.
Judging from the "setting" of this weird castle, there must be nothing good in the basement.
"But what are the black and white ones? That big guy didn't even count them clearly with me..." Alice stood in front of the basement entrance without moving for a long time. Her eyes turned around and looked at the hangings on the wall. key, and take a look at the rusty trap door.
"Ahhhh! I don't care!" Alice rubbed her head irritably and pulled the key from the wall as if to vent her anger.
"I can't go back to the past. If that's the case, I have no choice but to keep moving forward on this road."
Not sure what Alice had figured out, she suddenly inserted the key into the keyhole, then twisted a few times to open the closed trap door.
She jumped down simply, treating the ladder on the side as nothing.
After landing, Alice wanted to take out the staff from behind to cast lighting magic, but when she touched a piece of air, she remembered that she had left the staff under the bed in the guest room.
But she still had a way to get her weapon back, remember Starlight?
The arcane spirit who had sneaked into the fortress with Alice had been impatient for a long time.As soon as she received Alice's request for help, Starlight crawled out from under the bed covered in dust, and found a way to sneak to Alice's side.
"Starlight, you are so awesome!" When Alice saw Starlight standing in front of her, she couldn't help but hug this little guy.
It felt good to hold the starlight, and a warm current flowed through Alice's heart, as if it was the first ray of sunshine when spring came.
Starlight blinked in confusion, then stretched out her hands to hug her master without saying a word.
The two hugged each other for a few minutes, then separated and turned to working on the lighting magic.
Several light balls appeared out of thin air according to Alice and Starlight's thoughts. The light balls surrounded them and used their own light to illuminate the way forward.
Chapter 225 Prisoners
The existence of starlight is like a large bottle of tranquilizer to Alice. She no longer feels panic, but fearlessly explores forward like a warrior who hears the war cry.
"Listen, Starlight. There may be something very scary ahead. When that happens, you must stay behind me!"
Alice held Starlight's hand, and while she was talking without looking back, she kept sweeping the ground in front of her with the staff in her hand.
This is a trick Ivan Bell once taught her. It is said that it can prevent snake attacks in the forest, and it can also avoid stepping on things that should not be stepped on in a dim environment.
While Alice kept reminding Starlight of the dangers ahead, Starlight played with the light ball in his hand with great interest.But although she was a little distracted, she still listened to what she needed to hear.
"Xingguang understands, but..."
"What's wrong? What does Starlight want to say?"
Alice, who noticed the other party's inner hesitation, stopped very considerately, squatted down and gently encouraged her to say whatever she wanted to say.
Starlight was convinced, and she asked: "But why is the master so scared? The fluctuations here are very strange!"
"This one……"
Alice was speechless for a moment. She knew very clearly that she should not convey the information that "people in the castle are eating the same kind" to others, especially Starlight.
Alice didn't want Starlight to go through what she had gone through, after all, that experience was like a hodgepodge in the cafeteria of hell.
The bottom line is all human malice.
So after thinking for a moment, she told Starlight: "There is a very scary monster here, and it will eat everything it sees. Including you and me, tell me, will you be afraid of me?"
When she left, she removed Starlight's hand from her chest and held it in her own hand.
However, this vague statement was obviously not recognized by Starlight. The little guy who had just reached Alice's waist pouted and showed a dissatisfied look.
"Master is lying! Starlight can feel that Master lies to me again!"
"This, this...how could I lie to you? It's just that it's too stuffy here, so you think there's something wrong with my heart, right?"
Alice stood up, she squeezed Starlight's hand and smiled slightly.
Starlight looked at Alice. After a few minutes, she muttered, "Okay." as if giving up, and then continued to follow Alice step by step.
The passage connecting the basement entrance to the main area was unexpectedly long, so long that Alice's feet were a little sore from walking.
Of course, this may also be because she had been standing for a long time.
As she walked, Alice suddenly found that the front half of her foot did not touch the ground again.Looking down carefully, she found that the road ahead had an obvious slope, and she stepped on the junction of the downhill road and the flat ground.
Few people would create such a road in their basement. This was the first time Alice and Starlight faced this kind of road design.
"Be careful, it's a downhill road ahead." Alice said, stretching out one foot to step on the downhill road.She tightened her grip on Xingguang, and then pulled him to her side little by little.
After walking all the way downhill, Alice exhaled and muttered to herself: "Relax, relax" while picking up another key on the key ring to open the door in front of her.
The door opened with a creak, and then a rustling sound came from the darkness.Alice thought it was the sound of a mouse, but when she waved her staff to let the light ball float away from where the sound came from, she was shocked by what she saw.
This basement was converted into a prison, and the prison was divided into two areas.The first thing Alice saw was the cell on the left. The "prisoners" in the cell were now huddled together, shivering in the corner.
There were more of them than the "prisoners" in the cells on the right, but they looked much worse than their neighbors next door.The bad here just refers to the actions shown when seeing the arrival of Alice and Starlight. The people on the right are very scared, while the people on the left stare at Alice boldly and fearlessly.
Alice was more interested in talking to the person on the right than the "prisoner" on the left, and she did so.
"Who are you? Why are you locked up here?"
In order to show her friendliness and harmlessness, Alice squatted in front of the bars of the cell and looked at them.
The five people in the cell looked at each other, and then a young man approached Alice.After the man was exposed to the light, Alice immediately noticed the scars on his hands.
Looking at the barbed wire wrapped around the railing in front of her, Alice understood the origin of these wounds.
"You don't look like one of them, how did you get here?"
The young man asked, and Alice, who heard him, came back to her senses and began to tell her identity.
"I came here to look for missing refugees. Are you the ones who are missing?"
The young man nodded. He clearly lowered his guard, and when he spoke again, his tone was no longer so stiff and cold.
"This is the symbol of the empire. The people of the motherland have not given up on us after all..." After saying a few words, the young man held the badge that Alice had thrown into the cage and cried silently.
Alice didn't immediately ask what happened to them, or why the people in the next cage were like that.She waited quietly for the person in front of her to stop choking, and stuffed a clean handkerchief through the gap between the two railings.
"Thank you, thank you..." The young man took the handkerchief in a hoarse voice. He wiped his face hastily, then raised his head and looked at Alice.
There was a bright light in his eyes, which was the light of hope.
"You're here to save us, right?"
Alice hummed in response.
"But you can't save us all, at least not right now. Did you see that group of people too?"
