Chapter 11 Imprisonment
I slowly opened the door and first stretched my head out and looked around.
Very good, that little brat Edgar is not here.
Todd tightened his monk's wardrobe, stepped on the stone slab carefully, and walked forward in the direction of the sound.
It is clear that this behavior of exploring the unknown may have serious consequences, but the curiosity that has long been in late stages of cancer prompted him to give up all risks and survive instincts, and go to the most dangerous place.
He raised his chest and asked Master Miris for the candle, and with the light, Todd carefully chose his place to stay, while thinking self-deprecatingly.
I remember there was a famous psychological test in my previous life. In a closed room, there was a bright red button with a note posted on it, saying "Don't press", and then observe the performance of people entering the room. Some people will ignore the button from beginning to end, some people will think about it and press the button, and some people will press it without thinking.
Todd remembers clearly how he answered that test in his previous life.
Not only did he press the button, he would also try a variety of tricks such as "short trial", "fast three consecutive fights", "pressing and not letting go" to observe what would happen... It was nothing more than the psychological counselor at that time who would laugh at him for "that he owed someone a bad hand".
Pass through the monk gathering area and pass through the main hall corridor.
When I arrived at the "short head" at the end of the cross structure of the cross of the Monastery of San Sidro, I walked through a cemetery and walked down the underground passage that Huggins had taken him through on the first day. The screams of the man in my ears became louder and louder.
After swallowing deeply, Todd approached the wall of the passage, protecting the faint flame of the candle with one hand, and leaning forward with the other, moving deeper and deeper.
Finally, we came to the metal door with four strange "proverbs" engraved.
Todd slowly pushed open a gap and drilled into the gap between the door panels.
The torches in the dark lobby were lit by someone. The swaying fire lights combined with the flickering statues of gods, coupled with the wailings from time to time, made Todd's heart thump and thump.
Maybe it's still time to go back now, and he immediately denied this idea as soon as it arose.
If he returns to bed without knowing anything, tossing and turning, unable to sleep all night will be more unbearable than death.
The steps under his body continued. Todd came to the end of the hall, groped through the fire and found an inconspicuous wooden door on the back of the statue. He tried to push it with his hands, but without any obstacles, the door opened.
A gust of wind blew from behind the door, almost extinguishing the candle's flame.
Todd hurriedly used his body as a barrier to block the wind direction. He felt relieved as the flames rose again.
The screams were heard more clearly, and some meaningless and messy words accompanied by pleading and roaring were becoming more strange and shocking after the echoes underground.
Then follow a long corridor to a loft and carefully descend along a long spiral wood ladder.
Todd finally came to a place similar to a cave, turned a few turns and walked sideways through the narrow cracks of rocks. Everything in front of him surprised him and covered his mouth.
In the wide cave, a man about two meters tall was locked by four huge iron chains. His eyes were blood red, and his blood vessels were bulging. His hands and feet looked twice as big as ordinary people.
Each palm hit the hard stone wall, bringing up a bunch of stone chips, leaving handprints; each foot stepped on the compact ground, crushing pieces of rock and soil, and stepping out deep pits.
The giant's face was twisted, salivating from his mouth, sometimes roaring in anger, sometimes begging loudly.
"It hurts... it hurts! Let me go, please! Let me go! The body is about to... crack!"
This TM is not a human at all, right?
Todd took advantage of the candlelight and saw the giant's face clearly, and suddenly realized that the other party's face seemed familiar.
"You are...Jerry..."
Todd murmured.
The young man who looks like a bamboo pole, always smiles silly, and is harmless...
An anxious voice came from the other end of the cave.
"Damn it! Todd! Get out of that!"
The giant, who was angry by the sudden fire and shouting, opened his mouth to Todd. His hands and feet were straightened into a thread and the iron nails connected to the mountain wall, made a sharp and cracking sound due to the huge twisting force.
He was so scared by the scene in front of him that Todd's body kept retreating backwards, and the candlestick fell to the ground.
Kara!
The iron chain that could no longer bear the strength broke from the middle, and the giant's big hand slapped Todd's head, and it seemed that the head would collapse.
"Edgar!"
A shout rang out not far away, and Todd suddenly realized that it was Huggins's voice.
The next second.
A afterimage passed by in the air.
The scenery in front of him was moving forward at high speed, and Todd's body was pulled back quickly by someone, barely avoiding the giant's attack.
When he turned around, Edgar hugged himself and looked at the giant's next move with a nervous look on his face.
Jerry's attack failed and became even more angry. He stepped forward with his right foot, clenched his left fist, and hit the two again.
Edgar moved his steps, pulling Todd at a speed like a gust of wind, and took a step back and dodged the attack again.
The giant's fist hit the rock wall. After a deafening loud bang, the hard stone wall was knocked into a depression.
But on the other hand, the two of them had retreated to the dead corner of the cave and had no choice but to retreat.
It was at this moment.
A figure moved in from the side and stood among the two and the giant.
Huggins, wearing a leather top, looked at the giant in front of him intently, breathed a deep breath, and said behind him: "Edgar, I will hold him back later, and you wait for Todd to leave first!"
The man slowly unbuttoned the hidden buttons of his gloves, and under the monk's surprise gaze, black gas emerged from his scorched palms.
A short body moved forward, and Huggins took the initiative to approach the giant's chest, grabbed the other's right arm with his left hand and grabbed the other's left arm with his right hand.
The black gas instantly penetrated into Jerry's skin, and the place where he touched began to turn yellow and black, causing him to roar in pain.
Todd took advantage of the giant's slowing movements and used his ability to see both sides in the fight.
Huggins' arms and palms were flowing continuously.
The inside of Jerry's body was already in chaos, the blood flow was like a flood discharge dam, the lymphatic tissue was swollen into a ball, and the heart was beating like a piston pump that was about to explode.
Feeling the pull behind him, Todd moved his footsteps back, but his natural curiosity drove him to continue observing.
Motionallying Edgar to stop, Todd suddenly lay on the ground, looked down from bottom to top, and finally discovered the strange thing in the giant's lower abdomen.
Above Jerry's kidneys, next to the renal fascia, which is commonly known as the adrenal glands, is surrounded by a parasite that looks like a leech!
