Rushing upstairs, Victor saw de Gaulle holding a pistol and smashing the iron door of a cell.
"Watson, it's a coincidence that you came here. I found something interesting."
Victor trotted over to check. After pushing open the cell door, there was a half-person-high hole in the wall facing inside, with broken stone bricks still remaining.
"It looks like it was broken open by someone. Was it a prison break? How did he do it?"
As soon as Victor finished speaking, de Gaulle entered the room, squatted at the entrance and looked out.
His hair was blown up by the sea breeze, and he could see the scene outside clearly.
The broken wall happened to be on the cliff side of the prison. Below were steep rocks and raging waves. In theory, one could jump into the sea from here, but there was also a chance that one would be smashed to pieces on the rocks.
"The entrance to the hole was blasted from the outside, maybe a cannonball?"
While holding his chin and thinking, de Gaulle searched for possible clues in the room.
He found a piece of tattered cloth with some blood stains on it, which looked like half of the clothes had been torn off.
Picking it up and observing it carefully, de Gaulle showed an expression of surprise.
"This is a prison uniform, but why is it so small? It's just for children. Has this prison ever held children?"
Hearing this, Victor remembered the list of prisoners he had found.
He took it out and handed it to de Gaulle, telling him that there must be an answer here.
De Gaulle curiously took it and looked through it, and sure enough he found a suspicious name.
"Wade Troy...formerly a third-class private in the Third Regiment of the 27th Brigade of the Serbian Army..."
Under this name, the basic information of the person is recorded, including his height and weight, race and appearance, and what crimes he has committed.
Interestingly, this man was only 1.2 meters tall and was identified as suffering from dwarfism.
From this and the tattered prison uniform just now, de Gaulle immediately determined that the place they were in was the cell where this dwarf had been imprisoned.
"Interesting, I didn't expect to find a certain soldier's room so easily."
Judging from the beds in the room, this room can hold up to four people, and Wade is one of them.
Victor had some questions about this: "Is Saiguo's army selection so relaxed? Even dwarfs can join the army?"
De Gaulle said that he did not know the situation back then, but Secred's army had always had no lower limit, and it was only in the past five years that it slowly began to improve.
"Anyway, we have gained something. We didn't find any bodies. Either they were disposed of after the attack, or the prisoners took advantage of the damage to the prison and escaped."
De Gaulle stared at the entrance of the cave for a long time, and the more he looked, the more he had new ideas.
He looked back at Victor and said, "I'm a little confused now, what is the purpose of those people who attacked the prison?"
When an attack comes from the sea, the first thing Victor thinks of is pirates.
The prison is not a military fortress. There are only a few old cannons on the walls, and their firepower is indeed inferior to the pirates' modified sailing warships.
But why did pirates attack the prison? There was nothing in the prison except prisoners, let alone valuables.
unless……
"This makes sense if you want to rescue someone. Are there pirates in this prison?" Victor speculated.
De Gaulle looked through the roster again and found that there were 300 prisoners in this prison, but not one of them was a pirate.
"Judging from the collapsed wall on this side, the other party was not worried about accidentally injuring one of their own..." De Gaulle returned to the half-height hole again, "It seems that the prisoners in this cell escaped through this hole.
Yes. I guess there is more than one hole in this wall, and there must be damage in other places. I’ll go check out other cells later.”
According to the prisoner roster, there were indeed four prisoners detained in this room, but only Wade was the soldier who was reported.
De Gaulle wanted to stick his head out to see if there was a way to reach the foot of the cliff safely.
However, just as he stretched out his hand from the hole, his arm mysteriously disappeared in mid-air!
De Gaulle's body froze, but there was no expression of pain on his face.
Then, he stepped back and retracted his hand from the hole, intact.
This scene shocked both of them. Victor looked solemnly at De Gaulle's hand, which was not broken as before.
"It's amazing..." De Gaulle murmured, and then he did something that Victor didn't expect at all.
He quickly ducked into the hole and disappeared into the air in an instant. Victor didn't even have time to catch him.
"Fuck! Are you crazy?"
Victor was shocked by de Gaulle's strange and unexpected behavior.
This hole seems to have been cast by some invisible magic. There should be an invisible space hidden inside, but no matter what, you have to understand the situation before taking action. De Gaulle is too bold.
If the covered space is also a cliff, he will immediately fall into the abyss and be doomed.
Thinking of this, Victor immediately made predictions and got a safe prediction.
He thought for a few seconds and then reached out to touch the space in front of him. When he touched the thick ground, he stepped into it.
After stepping inside, Victor discovered that the scene inside was different from what he had imagined.
He still appeared in the prison cell, but the scene in the room was completely different.
The bed boards for prisoners to sleep on were all gone, replaced by rotten and stinky walls as well as hideous shackles and torture instruments.
There were a lot of dried blood on the ground, as well as blood-stained rags, but no people or bodies were seen.
There are some horizontal and vertical lines drawn with blood on the wall, as if to record time. The entire wall is covered with such symbols. If it was written by the prisoner, then he was recording the time when he was tortured.
day.
His pain was integrated into these symbols, and Victor could feel the despair of the people in this room at that time.
Not seeing de Gaulle anywhere, Victor immediately became extremely vigilant. After applying a golden charm and a yang charm to himself, he took out his pistol and walked out of the room.
The corridor outside was the same as in the prison before, except there were a lot more blood stains.
There are still some bloody writings on the walls on both sides——
Let me go……
pain……
The inquisitor is here...
kill him……
Help……
The atmosphere in the whole building was strange. After Victor walked forward for a while, he still didn't find anyone.
The more no one is there, the more palpitating I feel. Those blood-written words keep appearing on both sides like evil curses, as if there are invisible ghosts screaming around me.
Even though Victor's mental body is beyond that of ordinary people, he can still feel the roar of despair.
At this time, there was heavy movement upstairs, as if something heavy was being dragged, accompanied by obvious footsteps.
There was someone up there, but it was definitely not De Gaulle, because with his weight it was impossible to make such heavy footsteps.
Victor was just about to go up the corridor to check, but was grabbed by the shadow that suddenly appeared from the cell next door.
He subconsciously drew his gun, but the muzzle was suppressed by de Gaulle.
"No! It's me! Damn it!"
De Gaulle asked Victor to be careful about misfires.
"Mr. de Gaulle...are you mentally ill?" Victor said dissatisfied.
However, de Gaulle pulled him into the room and told Victor to keep quiet.
"What's wrong?" Victor asked carefully.
De Gaulle looked serious. He closed the cell door, leaving only a gap. Then they passed through this gap and saw something coming down from upstairs.
