"Brother Xiaohua, save me!"

One by one, Lingxiao sent out cries for help to Jieyuhua, who was tied to the opposite wall.

He held the cage tightly, his tone earnest, seemingly unconcerned whether the other person could see him.

"I'm so scared." After saying that, he stretched his hand out of the cage again, desperately reaching for it.

However, the other Lingxiao just looked at him indifferently without making a sound, lazily leaning against the innermost side of the cage. If it weren't for the wonderful performance, he might fall asleep in the next second.

Rows of bamboo slips grew out of the spring water. The tips of the bamboo slips were sharpened and they looked quite old. Because they had been soaked in water for a long time, they were covered with black spots. When the flashlight shone on them, you could see the blood streaks in the patterns. They were blackish-red and seemed impossible to wash off.

The iron cage suddenly loosened, and began to sway and creak. Ling Xiao, who had been seeking help, fell into the cage. He crawled forward, crying, begging to be let go.

Looking at those sharp bamboo joints, he cried even harder, tears streaming down his face.

"He's... being too fake. He's eliminated the wrong answer right away. We can just choose another cage." Wu Xie kept staring at the cage that didn't move at all.

“No.” The young man shook his head.

“Brother, even if we don’t know Ling Zi well, he wouldn’t be like this. This two-choice question is so simple, he can’t be wrong.” Wu Xie seemed quite confident.

"The mute wasn't talking about choosing between two options," Hei Xiazi said mysteriously.

"Isn't it a choice between two? There's no third option here either! Are we supposed to exchange Lingzi for Fatty and Xiaohua? Throw one away, save one, and in the end, there will still be one left. What's the difference between that and choosing one of the three to die?" Wu Xie started brainstorming, seriously considering how to save all three of them.

"Now for my favorite part! Let's see which one I'll eat this year! Oh! So many people, I can't wait to devour you all." A voice that was neither male nor female, neither human nor ghost echoed in the empty tomb.

"So who will be the first offering? Which one in the cage? Well... you choose." As soon as the words were spoken, Jieyuhua was pulled by tentacles to a cage.

The person who had initially cried for help crawled forward on his knees when he saw him, grabbing the cage bars and pleading repeatedly, "Brother Xiaohua, choose me to live! I am Ling Xiao!"

"So, will you choose him?" The androgynous voice appeared again, leaving the choice to Jieyuhua.

The sticky feeling made Jieyuhua feel nauseous, and he began to feel uncomfortable both physically and mentally. Unfortunately, he couldn't move, and after struggling a few times, the other guy clung to him even tighter.

"So, you choose him?" the voice asked again, sounding quite patient.

"I won't choose." Xie Yuhua just wanted to chop off these disgusting tentacles. He wouldn't choose either of them.

"Then you really are pathetic." The androgynous voice expressed pity for Ling Xiao, who was still struggling, and then the cage descended a little further.

The tentacle then led the Flower of Understanding to the second cage and asked the same question: "So, shall we choose him?"

"I won't choose." Xie Yuhua was almost suffocating from being choked, but she decisively made her choice. Neither of them were Ling Xiao, so there was no need for her to waste time here.

"How pitiful, it seems you're not very popular." After the androgynous voice paused again, the other cage descended to the same height.

The people inside remained silent, like a stagnant pool of water, without a ripple.

After making her choice, Xie Yuhua was thrown to the ground. The tentacles only released their grip at a low position, so Xie Yuhua didn't suffer any major injuries.

After Xie Yuhua came the fat man. He was also pulled to the front of the cage, but unlike Xie Yuhua, from this height, unless someone was chosen by him, anyone who fell would be riddled with holes.

"Lingzi hates it when people use his face. He'll be furious if he finds out. Although the one inside looks convincing, some things are obvious at a glance. If Lingzi is between those two, I'll wash my hair upside down!"
