He only felt that his eyes were dark, and his eyes were tightly tied with cloth strips. The tightly wrapped cloth strips not only made it impossible for him to see, but also brought a burst of oppression to his eyeballs.
swelling and pain.
He felt very uncomfortable and wanted to cry out, but his mouth was blocked by some kind of ball.
The thing was moderately soft and hard, and there was no particular discomfort when it was put in his mouth. However, it had a plastic-like smell and was always stuck between his teeth and tongue, making it impossible for him to even swallow his saliva. He
The slightly open mouth gradually made his throat dry, making him unable to speak. He could only let out a vague whimper, but saliva seeped out from the corners of his mouth involuntarily, which was very embarrassing.
His hands and feet must have been tied up. He had the feeling that he should be hanging in the air on all fours. However, the straps that bound his limbs were very thick and tight.
They awkwardly hung Albert on his back in the air, stretched his limbs almost straight, and finally caused all the joints of Albert's limbs to become stretched for a long time.
Completely numb.
Even his tiger's tail was hung up on the ceiling, tightened by gravity, as if it would be torn off at any time. During the crazy pulling, he felt severe pain.
Someone grabbed his head and lifted him up. Something sharp penetrated his skull, as if something was injected into the back of his head.
------Then a long time passed.
The surroundings were so silent, and under his own weight, his body almost merged with the ground. Albert estimated that he should be in a cell. He was as soft as a half-melted big cat.
Lying slumped on the sticky and smelly floor, he had been played with and was tired of being played with, so he was temporarily locked up in this place, waiting to be sent to receive the next step of treatment.
He knew that the torture of him by that group of lunatics would not end so simply. This was just the beginning. He had a little time to breathe and still stay awake. He knew that if he didn't escape from this devil's cave now, he would
I'm afraid I won't be able to escape anymore.
Therefore, he tried to move his numb body, hoping to escape from this predicament.
However, it was of no use. His body was hopelessly unresponsive and was tied up in an exaggerated manner. Self-rescue was absolutely impossible, and he could only wait for a miracle to occur.
Albert has never experienced such despair in his life, and he has rarely sincerely confessed in his life. But at this moment, he is confessing to some kind of god that may not exist in the dark, or even someone he does not know.
The gods repent, only for their own stupidity.
If he had never fallen out with the Sphinx team from the beginning and avoided danger to protect himself, he would certainly not have ended up in this situation and suffered such huge humiliation.
(Ruff...)
I don't know why, but at this time, he was thinking of the cat-man boy, who existed like his younger brother in his memory. In the uninhabited wilderness a long time ago, the child was cooking dinner by the campfire.
The smoke rose together with the aroma of the stew, filling Albert's senses. At that moment, Albert, who got up from the simply built wooden bed, suddenly felt that if this kind of life could last forever
It was good to go down. He had the urge to pick up the cat boy and hold him high.
However, that scene was soon replaced by another figure. Luffy disappeared, and the person who turned to look at Albert was Mutt, a young catman who looked very similar to Luffy but had a very different personality.
Mutt was sticking out his tongue at the tiger, making faces and giving him a white eye.
So Albert finally knew that from that time long ago, his life could not go back.
How sad.
Darkness suddenly fell.
Albert, whose hands and feet were tied up and lying in the cell, had his eyes tightly covered by a cloth strip. But the cloth strip could not completely block the light source. Before that, a small amount of light could still penetrate the cloth strip.
Shot into Albert's eyes, so he knew there was a difference between the original darkness in the cell and the complete darkness now.
This sudden complete darkness seemed to indicate what was happening here. But what it was, Albert, who was completely desperate at this moment, did not expect it.
Blah blah blah. With a sound of metal sliding, the cell door seemed to be opened.
"Uh..." Someone sighed lowly. The owner of the voice seemed to be surprised. But it was an expected surprise.
After about ten seconds, the owner of the voice suddenly came to Albert's ear and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay? Can you still move? I will help you untie you now and escape from here."
."
That voice brought greater despair to the young tiger man, because he recognized the owner of the voice.
It's Chanel.
It's really terrible. She actually saw him in such a desolate state.
"Ugh..." After the ball was pulled out of his mouth, the young tiger man began to murmur: "Things are not what you imagined------"
"I know." Chanel was busy untying the ropes on Albert's hands and feet, but accidentally touched Albert's tiger butt, and the big cat suddenly twitched all over.
"Sorry." The girl knew that the tiger man youth was very sensitive at this moment, and she immediately retracted her hand: "I know you feel ashamed, but all this is completely unnecessary. You were just calculated."
"I was... plotted??"
"The guy you met in the military base in Angola is one of Seth's right-hand men. No one knows his real name. People only call him [Hunter]. Hunters are the only remaining masters in the world.
A level stealth expert, he can sneak up behind the other party without anyone being able to detect it."
"this------"
"You had no chance of winning from the beginning, so it was natural for you to be captured." Chanel continued: "You lost the moment he approached you from behind. He injected an anesthetic into your back to control your mind.
With your body, you can only let him slaughter you."
"But......"
Albert seemed to have figured out something, and suddenly asked sullenly: "So... you have seen all this? You have been secretly observing everything I have suffered from the beginning, but you have not
Rescue me?"
Facing Albert's question, Chanel was stunned for a moment.
"Sorry, I can't find a chance to make a move." She replied: "Even I can't confront Seth's men head-on."
"So you have been following here, observing in secret, watching me being... uh... tortured?"
"What are you talking about?" Chanel just untied the cloth that blindfolded Albert and asked with a confused expression: "I spent a long time to find the way to this secret base. I found this place.
When you came here, you were already like this."
"You..." Tiger rolled his eyes at the girl, but did not see any falsehood in her eyes. So he hummed a little annoyed: "Forget it!"
In fact, Chanel had already made a guess when she saw that Albert's lower body was naked and sticky. But she pretended not to see it, took off her black cloak and stuffed it to Albert: "All your equipment is here."
Where did it go? Before retrieving the equipment, let’s use this to hide our shame.”
Albert didn't say anything, eager to do something quickly. He wrapped his lower body with a cloak. Although it was as strange as wearing a skirt, it could barely cover his shame.
Albert, who was completely weak, tried to get up from the ground. His hands and feet were still very numb, and his whole body was extremely weak.
Chanel then directly supported Albert with her shoulders, allowing the tiger to stand up. Although Albert himself was not tall, he was an orc after all. The petite figure of the dark elf girl was not at all comparable to Albert's figure.
There was no way to compare. Even if Albert was forcibly carried, the two of them would not be able to move around smoothly.
Albert felt that his lower body was shaking, and he felt like he was about to collapse at any time. He knew that his physical condition was extremely bad.
"That's enough." He held his arm against the wall and stopped moving: "You don't have to force me to go with you. It's better for you to escape from here alone."
"What are you talking about? You can only escape now. When the [third phase] they say starts, you will never be able to escape again!" Chanel still tried her best to carry the heavy tiger: "They will start to attack."
Injecting drugs into your body will transform you into a monster. Once you become like that, everything will become irreversible!"
"Even so... Wu!" The abdominal pain was eating away at Albert. His originally paralyzed body gradually recovered, but the pain became even more unbearable. He stepped on the air, and the whole tiger fell forward, together with
Chanel, who was trying to support him, also fell to the ground.
"Woo!" The girl climbed up awkwardly, her forehead being hit a little painfully. She looked at Albert who fell to the ground like a ball of mud and couldn't get up, and couldn't help but sigh.
"Get up, please." Chanel whispered: "The interruption of the power system can only last ten minutes. This is our only chance to escape."
Albert struggled to get up from the ground, but after struggling a few times, he fell down with a plop. His internal organs felt like they were being mauled, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Boom, boom, boom, boom! The surrounding lights were turned on one after another, and the power began to be restored. It was already difficult for Chanel to leave Albert in such a collapsed state, and now it would be even more difficult.
"Damn it." The girl frowned, grabbed the shoulder of the tiger on the ground and dragged it: "As of now, we can only ------"
She picked up the big tiger and walked towards a vent-like entrance deep in the prison. Before the pursuers arrived, she stuffed Albert into the vent and jumped in herself.
The downward-sloping vent led the two of them down all the way, towards the almost endless depth of the ground.
