Spotted by the hero's villain's mother

The iron door that had not been pushed for a long time made a harsh sound.

Ju Yao slowly squatted down and looked at the dying blood woman.

Even the warm light of the candle could not warm the woman's pale or even blue face.

The woman was not unconscious, she seemed to have had a lot of effort to lift her heavy eyelids.

It was the same blue eyes as Xiu Rui and Helen.

The age of the other party seems to be not very old among the blood clan, but the expression conveys the meaning of old age. It is a flower that was strangled to death when it was in full bloom, and it withered and decayed, which is regrettable.

"Human?" Her voice was duller than the friction when the cell door was pushed open. She hadn't spoken for a long time, hoarse and tired.

"Yes..." Ju Yao looked at her worriedly, "Are you locked up here?"

The other party avoided this answer, just moved his lips, and struggled to speak: "Why are you here? Has the blood race been captured?"

When she said this, there was fear and guilt in her eyes.

"No, this is Christophe in the Black Forest, you should know where it is."

The woman nodded with difficulty, "I know...is it Mr. Lengsi...as the leader of the blood clan?"

"Yes." The woman lowered her eyes and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?" She asked again, "How did humans step into Frost...Maybe this is Snow..."

"This story is very complicated," Ju Yao showed a friendly smile, trying to make the other party lower his vigilance, "My name is Ju Yao, and I came here by accident, how about you?"

The woman's dry lips moved slightly, and she said to herself, "She won't let humans enter her castle, and you... you won't be what she likes... If you break in secretly, it will be dangerous if you are discovered."

Her hair was unmanaged, like dry grass, messy and dull.

Ju Yao asked, "Dangerous? Were you arrested? Did Leng Si lock you up here?"

The woman's eyes were empty and she couldn't answer a series of questions. She stared at the front without saying anything.

"...you go away, this place is very dangerous." After a while, the decayed flower made a sound.

"Why is it dangerous?" Ju Yao sat next to the woman, looked at the wall like her, bent her knees and hugged her legs, "I came here only when I encountered danger."

She seemed to be talking about an extremely relaxed and joyful thing, "One day, a mean and shameless villain planned to drive me to the old aristocratic district. But I, who is smart and powerful, have already seen through this little plot. Came to the Black Forest. After hearing the terrible legend of Christophe and the Black Forest, I was still firm and brave and did not choose to escape like the driver, and resolutely broke into the castle and became a knight to save the princess."

Juyao pointed at herself, and finished a story about a legendary experience that praised herself.

The woman was silent for a while, wondering if she suspected that the ins and outs of Ju Yao's arrival in Christophe were embellishing and exaggerating.

"The knight who saved the princess?" The woman shook her head, "There is no princess here, you came to the wrong place."

Ju Yao shook her head following the woman's frequency, and she stretched out her hand holding a small lamp, which was so cold that it was as stiff as ice, "This is an analogy, you see, although I don't look like a knight, there is an infinite power hidden under my small body." the power of."

The words of this young human who was so cold that his teeth were chattering and he was not used to the cold temperature were like ridiculous lies.

The woman didn't taunt, but said calmly: "Don't worry about me, there is no princess here, and I don't need the rescue of knights."

Ju Yao withdrew his hand tremblingly, and the light trembled accordingly.

"You don't admit that you are a princess who needs to be rescued, but I will not change my position as a knight." Ju Yao emphasized.

The woman wanted to laugh a little, but when the corners of her mouth moved, she felt uncomfortable.

She stayed here for too long without any movement. If this human named Juyao hadn't woken her up yesterday, she might have died in her deep sleep.

"Knight?" The woman seemed to be stepping on a knife when she spoke, but she insisted on finishing, "You are more like cheese, hard cheese after freezing."

"..."

Only then does Ju Yao know that this "princess" with a very low desire to survive is not an ordinary poisonous tongue.

It took the woman a long time to force a smile, and then she felt that she had put in a lot of effort to just smile, and found it funny, so she laughed out loud.

This kind of crazy look to outsiders made the woman's tense nerves relax, "Sorry."

"It's okay, I will laugh alone from time to time."

The woman looked at Juyao, who was tightly wrapped in heavy clothes, she was so weak, but her whole body exuded energy and vitality.

"My name is Iman."

Ju Yao said it again, "My name is Ju Yao."

Iman, who chatted with Juyao for a while, stretched out her hands to straighten her hair. Even though such a move could not change anything, her legs slowly flattened, no longer curled up in fear, but the withered appearance seemed to have changed. Beautiful flowers in poor soil, "How long have you been here?"

"About three or four days? Including the few days I left before, it will add up to seven or eight days."

Iman's dying feeling gradually disappeared, "Human beings have been in the Black Forest for a long time, and they will never be able to leave the Black Forest."

"why?"

"The Black Forest is an illusion created by Lord Lengsi, and it is integrated with Lord Lengsi's private mansion. Do you feel that the temperature in the Black Forest makes you very comfortable, not because of the abnormal temperature of the Black Forest, but because this is not a real place "Iman said for a while, gasping for breath, "This basement is real, cold, and this is the real temperature it should have."

"The longer you stay in the Black Forest, the lower your judgment and discrimination ability will become. As time goes by, you will no longer be able to find a way out." Iman's voice became softer and softer, but he spoke more fluently, " The reason why I can leave the Black Forest during the day is because the influence of illusions during the day is less than that at night, as long as you walk in one direction, you can always get out, but not at night."

Ju Yao swallowed, "But the last time I walked during the day, I couldn't get out."

Iman said: "You are weak, if you don't leave, you can't leave. In the morning, you can leave as soon as you can, don't stay here, otherwise, you can't leave alone."

Ju Yao supported her chin with one hand, cooperating with her that the person imprisoned now is her.

"how about you?"

"Me?" Yiman sighed, "There are prisons everywhere, so where can I escape to?"

It's just going from one end of the cage to the other.

"Since there are cages everywhere, you should look around even more." Ju Yao was holding the candle lamp, the candle was about to burn out, "There is no place to be unrestrained."

Iman stared blankly ahead, "I'm fine here, just myself, with no joy or pain, dying quietly, with no regrets, and will not bring regrets to anyone."

Ju Yao slowly moved to the position in front of Iman, looked into Iman's green eyes, "But, you are in pain, and you also have regrets."

Iman moved his lips, "No."

"You don't feel that you are so good now. Before I came, you just fell asleep, but you didn't leave this world. After you wake up, you will still have emotions."

Yiman was not afraid of someone poking her heart, but she still lowered her head, "Then... I really still... don't stay in this world."

Ju Yao was taken aback, and quickly changed her words, "Oh no, what I mean is, look, what does it mean that God sent me to save you? It means that the other world doesn't want you, but this world needs you."

"You...save me?" Iman was dubious, "But I am not a princess, and you are not a knight."

Ju Yao didn't want to get entangled in this wrong analogy, and pointed to herself, "You see me who is both wise and brave, talented and beautiful, doesn't it give me the pursuit and yearning for the beauty of the world?"

Iman said honestly, "I think if you stay with me, you will die sooner than me."

Ju Yao couldn't hear the truth.

"Then you think about me, let's go out and talk, anyway, you are not locked up." Ju Yao continued to induce.

Iman was unmoved, "Since I'm locked up here, I can't escape because I don't have shackles."

This kind of idealist view will only remind Ju Yao of boring philosophy books read by beauties.

"Then do you have the heart to watch me die of cold here?"

"But you have no chains, and you are not locked up."

Ju Yao clutched her heart in pain, imitating the other party, "Since I'm here, I can't leave just because I don't have shackles."

Yiman thinks that Juyao is not very smart, and she also thinks that Juyao understands everything. She can't see through this strange but friendly human being.

"You are not me, I have no face to face this world." Iman was disappointed, "You have a bright future, if you survive. All that is left to me in this world is endless gloom, regret and torture."

Juyao put the little lamp on the ground, and carefully held Yiman's face, "How could it be, you are so beautiful, how could you be ashamed to face it?"

Even without a mirror, Iman can still imagine his own decay, "You don't understand, this is my retribution."

Ju Yao put down her hand, "Retribution refers to the corresponding consequences of what you have done, if you think that this is your punishment for your mistakes, you should feel endless constraints and pain here. "

The candlelight reflected in Juyao's eyes, as if she was dizzy with warmth.

"But I think you are here more for relief, you are escaping, so this is not retribution, you take this as your safe haven, a place to hide."

Iman buried her head, her blond hair concealing her expression at the moment.

"...Is it...is it...yes." She said intermittently.

The cell door was open, the shackles were not put on, and the basement could be entered at any time. So, isn't she imprisoned?

Is she choosing to escape?

"Did you really do something wrong?" Ju Yao asked.

"Yes." Yiman raised his head slowly and saw Juyao's outstretched hand.

"Then I'll take you away."

Iman stared at this hand, showing hesitation, hesitated for a moment, then retracted his body like an electric shock, and hugged himself into a ball again, "I'd better stay here."

"why?"

"I shouldn't be in contact with humans, nor should I leave without authorization, and you will be implicated if you are with me."

Ju Yao asked cautiously, "Did Leng Si lock you up here?"

Iman hugged himself tighter, "...Yes."

Ju Yao's voice trembled slightly, "Why are you locked up here by her?"

All kinds of rumors heard before rushed into Ju Yao's mind one after another.

Yiman didn't answer, and she heard Juyao continue to ask, "Could it be like the rumors say that you can't love it? Cruel prison?"

"...everything is my fault."

"That's why you love Leng Si too much?"

Yiman was not in the mood to find out whether Juyao's words were a joke, at least now she was empty-minded, and when it came to Leng Si, the revived vitality of Juyao was gradually annihilated just now, like a candle that was about to burn out in a candle lamp.

The light is getting weaker and weaker.

"Love is the real bondage." Iman's voice was barely audible.

This made Juyao think of the low-level emotions that beauties often criticize, but she said: "But you don't have love now, and you are still trapped in it, and you can't escape."

Iman fell into a deeper silence.

Before the candlelight completely disappeared, Juyao got up with the lamp, "I'm leaving, won't you come with me?"

There was only a muffled voice in front of him.

"I'm still fit to stay here."

Juyao walked out of the cell and gently closed the door.

She looked at Yiman, who was bound by the surrounding darkness and could not break free.

"Then let me ask one last question, is Lengs the owner of the castle?"

"It's Lord Lance."

Juyao's breathing slowed down, "Does she live in a castle?"

"This is where Prince Lengs sleeps."
