Chapter 121 The devil is in the world

Author: Yan Nanshu

When you walk into the cave, the first thing you see is not people.

Instead, the sounds of coughs, whippings, curses, screams, and the clashing sounds of axes and chisels hitting stones were constantly coming to my ears.

Hearing these voices, Chu Qingyu knew that her guess was wrong.

This is not a gathering place for demon cultivators.

These people are not demonic cultivators either.

However, although they are not demonic cultivators, they are even more evil-minded and ruthless than the demonic cultivators.

The missing person, the entrance of the cave guarded by monks, and the ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong knocking sound coming from inside the cave.

Obviously, this is a mine, and it is also a black mine that captures ordinary people who come to mine.

The two guards chased after them, and Chu Qingyu's spell fell, knocking them unconscious easily.

She looked back and saw the head of the Chen family who was following her far behind. An inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, which made the head of the Chen family feel frightened.

Walking along the cave, the belly of the mountain has been hollowed out, making it appear extremely spacious and the sightline is extremely wide.

Even though the torches were still lit during the day, Chu Qingyu could clearly see the scene inside.

Here, she saw the big man and homeless man she had seen before.

The tramp's feet were tied with chains, and he was waving a pickaxe in his hand, cutting into the ore again and again.

The big man stood beside him, holding a whip in his hand.

When he saw a homeless man being lazy, he whipped him away.

Scenes like this happen to everyone here.

There were dozens of people who looked like homeless people, some with shackles on their feet just like him.

Some of them have no restraints on their bodies, but their bodies are thin and withered, their skin is sallow, and they cough a few times from time to time. It is impossible for them to have the ability to resist.

These men wielded picks and chisels, knocking off piece after piece of ore.

Behind them, several shirtless men held whips in their hands, making them dare not rest or be lazy at all.

Seeing Chu Qingyu and others coming in, someone immediately shouted: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

While asking questions, these people had already gathered around, holding whips or waving wooden sticks in their hands, ready to arrest them on the spot.

Chu Qingyu looked at a scar-faced man who was sitting on a large chair not far away from her without moving, looking at her dangerously.

He is also a person who has cultivated himself.

It looks like he should be the person in charge here.

After these big men surrounded them, they also looked at Scarface, seeming to be waiting for his decision.

Scarface waved his hand: "Since you're here, just stay here. Capture these two little bitches alone, and leave the remaining two here to mine."

Chu Qingyu smiled.

Liang Ximan and others who followed her also laughed.

There are only three or two kittens here, let alone her, even Liang Ximan can easily take care of them.

Half a minute later, Chu Qingyu pressed Scarface to the ground: "Tell me, who are you working for and where do the people here come from."

Scar's face was full of horror, but he kept his mouth shut and refused to speak.

Chu Qingyu waved to the homeless man she had met once, and the homeless man walked over tremblingly.

Chu Qingyu asked: "Do you owe them money?"

The homeless man immediately shook his head like a rattle.

Chu Qingyu thought that indeed, not paying back the borrowed money was just an excuse for the people here to be afraid that the matter would spread and make a big fuss when they went to arrest someone.

Chu Qingyu called over another short, thin man who looked extremely weak.

The short and thin man was extremely weak, hanging completely on his breath. Even those who frequently whipped him to urge him to work avoided him when they violently urged him.

Chu Qingyu asked: "How long have you been working here?"

Short and thin man: "It's been half a year."

In half a year, it has already been destroyed like this.

Chu Qingyu asked again: "Has anyone died here?"

The short and thin man glanced at the scarred face, his numb eyes trembled a little, and murmured: "Dead person?"

Chu Qingyu: "Yes, has anyone died here?"

The short and thin man suddenly laughed.

He was laughing, but it was more like crying.

"You should ask, how long can we survive here."

Even though she was mentally prepared, Chu Qingyu's heart still trembled when she heard his words.

"I have been here for half a year, and he is the longest-lived person here."

"Half a year ago, I was caught here."

"The next day after I came here, my brother came to see me and was caught by the same people."

"That day, my brother tried to escape with me, but was found beaten to death."

"I made it through, but my brother didn't treat the wound properly and got infected."

"On the fifth day I came here, I saw with my own eyes a man who was digging and suddenly fell to the ground and could no longer breathe."

"That was the first time I saw someone die in front of my eyes."

"But this is just the beginning."

"Then the second dead man, and then the third."

"Half a month later, my brother still couldn't survive and fell here forever."

"I watched people who came here before me die of exhaustion or illness one by one before my eyes."

"Even if you are sick and coughing up blood, you must continue to work as long as you still have breath."

"We don't support idle people here, and we don't need patients who can't work."

"I sent away one old person after another here, and soon, I became an old person here too."

"Three months ago, I sent away the first person who came late."

"That was a very introverted young man. He would often come to me out of fear to talk about his fears and fears."

"I don't know how to comfort him, because we all have no hope and we all know how to count the days to see how long we can survive."

"I thought he was young and strong and could survive for a while longer."

"But, he was just gone, gone."

Chu Qingyu was silent after hearing this.

After Scarface was defeated, the black workers who stopped to peek over were silent.

The other big men who were working for the tiger also dared not say a word in this extremely depressing atmosphere.

The place was eerily quiet.

The mines here are so dark that torches are needed to illuminate them even during the day.

But the people's hearts here are even darker, so dark that you can't even see the original color.

Chu Qingyu knelt down and looked at Scarface calmly.

"While I am still talking to you calmly, tell me who is the person behind you?"

"You are also a monk, you should know the methods of a monk."

"No matter how tough you are, I have a million ways to get you to talk."

Scarface shrank back in fear. Just when Chu Qingyu thought he was about to compromise, Scarface suddenly showed a look of extreme fear.

Then a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly raised his palm.

Chu Qingyu thought he wanted to counterattack and sneak attack, so she subconsciously defended herself.
