Snap... Snap...

The cold drops of water hitting his face made Moon slowly open his eyes.

The familiar ceiling... no, it should be the cave ceiling...

Another drop of cold water hit my cheek hard, as if mocking or ridiculing me.

After many twists and turns, she still couldn't escape from the clutches of that woman.

I wanted to get up, but found myself weak all over. This was a sign of excessive blood energy being drawn.

This is still the same cell.

The cell where the woman would lock herself up whenever she was unhappy.

After walking to the rock wall with great effort, Moon stretched out his hand and stroked it inch by inch... This rock wall was where he was imprisoned. He met a team of adventurers who were actually human traffickers. They tricked him into removing the barrier of the cave and wanted to sell him to Batoria...

It was because of that time that he witnessed one of the cruelest methods of a woman. It was also because of that time that the woman, in order to punish him for his disobedience, only gave him a dagger and then threw him into the valley forest to join the purgatory-like atonement game.

Obviously, this place has been reinforced again.

The strength of that woman's barrier... Moon tried once, but failed to open it despite all his efforts. He was also discovered by the woman, who locked him in another cell in the cave, where he stayed with the rotting corpses for three days and three nights.

Thinking of this, Moonton felt that he could not stay here any longer and wait for death, so he dragged his tired body and moved slowly towards the cell door.

The cell door hadn't changed at all, it was still the same style as before, but it had been reinforced in light of the Moon from a few years ago.

Moon was delighted.

Judging from her reaction when she saw that woman, she didn't know where she went or what she did after leaving here...

In this case, naturally, I don't know that I have joined the Thieves Guild...

Opening such a lock is effortless.

Pulling out a few strands of his hair and rolling them into a strand, Moon began to pick the lock.

A few minutes later, there was a snap and the cell door opened.

......

Moon arrived at the main room of the cave with ease.

It was exactly the same as when I left. The luxurious rose-red lined coffin was still lying there.

Walking behind the main seat, the core of the barrier of the entire cave was still in the same place.

But Moon was not happy about it.

Breaking the barrier is just the simplest step to escape from here.

Taking the letter opener, Moon destroyed the core magic circle of the barrier just like he did many years ago.

It was as if something was broken, which made Moon feel much more relieved.

Without stopping for long, Moon walked straight out of the cave.

The eerie red and green moonlight shone at the entrance of the cave, on Moon's face, and illuminated the scene below the mountain.

Long time no see......

It was not until he stepped out of the mountains that Moon knew exactly where this place was located.

At this time, Moon had recovered a lot of strength. He jumped down the stone steps at the entrance of the cave one by one, and finally landed steadily on the ground.

What comes into view is not only the dense forest entrance, but also rows of wooden racks on the open ground...

This is no ordinary wooden rack, but the rack of torture for that woman...

By the moonlight, Moon could barely see the shelves full of corpses...

In the past, these wooden shelves were never empty and were replaced every once in a while.

When he got closer, Moon took a deep breath.

I saw a dead body hanging on the shelf closest to me...

His face was covered in blood and it was impossible to tell what he looked like in his previous life, but Moon recognized him from his tattered shorts.

"Yvette..."

Moon couldn't help but whisper the name of the deceased.

One of Yvette's legs was gone, leaving only a few pieces of what were either rags or strips of meat dangling in the wind.

Next to her, on the left and right, were the bodies of Elliot and Runya...

In the team, except for Leander who was dead, the remaining three people are here...

In the moonlight, their pale faces still retained the expressions they had just died.

Compared to this calmness and relief, somehow, Moon actually hoped that their expressions would be a little more emotional...even if it was just a little painful...

Dying peacefully like this would only add a heavy psychological burden to myself...

As he watched, Moon couldn't bear it any longer, so he squatted down and started retching on the ground.

They were so lively and cheerful yesterday... Why? Why are they so quiet now?

"Uh......"

Suddenly, Moon, who was kneeling on the ground, heard a weak whimper. She raised her head suddenly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

It was also a wooden frame, with a person hanging on it.

Moon immediately got up and walked over there.

"Well...it's you..."

Melissa's words were slurred, and she looked down at Moon with half-lidded eyes.

"Melissa...Miss."

But Melissa's breathing was extremely weak at the moment, with a pool of dried blood under her body. She was breathing more than she was exhaling, and was about to stop.

"I remember you...you were the one, kid..."

“I’m sorry…that day…there was nothing we could do…”

"Forgive me..."

Melissa's already weak breath became even more ethereal after saying so much in one breath...

"I don't blame you..."

Moon said, looking at a charred body next to Melissa.

Melissa seemed to notice where Moon was looking, and continued:

"He obviously...shouldn't have participated..."

"It's me again... who harmed him..."

After hearing Melissa's words, Moon finally recognized that the charred body was that of his former master, the head of the Azrael Chamber of Commerce, Nagash...

"Fortunately... you weren't hurt... This way, you'll have... a chance..."

Melissa spoke intermittently, with a hint of a smile on her lips, as if she was still feeling thankful for something.

"Let's go... Let's go... The person you want to see... Maybe, maybe we can meet again..."

"me......"

The woman stopped talking halfway and stopped breathing.

Melissa had already bled to death, and the words she just said were nothing more than a last gasp of energy.

Want to meet someone...

Moon's mind had long been numb. He turned around and stared at the bodies of several people. Then he walked into the forest aimlessly and disappeared into the darkness.
