After the male protagonist

Keriya: "These are the consequences of your choices. Why should I let an irrelevant person like me solve this matter for you?"

The old woman didn't jump when she heard this, she looked at the light source aside, and her voice became steady: "Different choices usually lead to different consequences, if A Fang and I hadn't participated in this project at that time, maybe we We will live happily together, and A Fang may have left the town...or maybe, both A Fang and I will become contracted beasts of these outsiders." She looked at Keriya, her gaze was the same, but it made her feel Keriya frowned, "You have entered the lair of that group of people now, do you think you can leave here safely by yourself?"

The old woman has never been a kind person all her life, so naturally she will not make much change just because she is going to die.

The old woman said: "By the way, I heard that they have arrested another outsider in the past two days. I don't know if you recognize him. He is a young man in his 20s with black hair."

She looked at the slight fluctuation on Keriya's face: "People are quite simple. They believe what others say, and they don't know how to run away if they are stupid. The name... I can't remember the name clearly, it seems to be Gass. What, do you know?"

At this point, it is already a naked threat.

Perhaps it was also one of the bargaining chips for the old lady to negotiate with Keria.

The one who got caught could be Gus, but what did that matter to him.

Keria sneered in his heart. The reason why he didn't leave but came here was because those people provoked him again and again. What does it have to do with him being caught?

If he died, wouldn't he just lose a burden?

Keriya thought so in his heart, but replied involuntarily: "I can take Ah Fang away." He didn't like the old woman in front of him, but her grandson was different, "It's just that with my character, you don't Think I'll treat him kindly."

The old woman breathed a sigh of relief: "That's enough, that's enough."

……

It is not easy to expand underground, but it has formed a large scale in more than ten years.

Keriya and the old woman barely reached a "consensus", and now Ah Fang led the way in front of him, and Keriya walked behind with his head slightly lowered.

The place they are going now is the "prison" where people are locked up, and Keriya needs to make sure that the unlucky guy who was caught is Gus.

Keriya lowered her head slightly, her pale yellow hair was dyed another color in the dim light. They only met one person on the way. Although that person was wondering what they were going to do so late, there were not many people. What to ask, after all, Keriya and the others are really calm.

This place is a bit complicated beyond Klia's expectation. If A Fang hadn't been leading the way now, he might have to spend a lot of effort to find the place.

Passing through a narrow "door", the eyes become empty.

There is not even a guard in front of this "door", because there is no one inside the door.

Under the dim light, it can be seen that there are only a dozen cages inside. The cages are about as tall as a person, narrow and cramped.

Keriya saw at a glance that this was used to lock people up.

The outsiders caught in this town should be locked up in this place.

Now the dozen or so cages are empty.

Keriya frowned, looked at A Fang who brought him over: "No one?"

Keriya's question was subconscious. He didn't know if the person who was regarded as a contracted beast still had his own consciousness, and he didn't know if A Fang would answer him.

A Fang didn't answer, turned around and left, Klia stood there for a while, and followed.

After a few more minutes, they met no one else on the road, and A Fang stopped in front of a door with Keriya.

Keria looked around and asked, "Here?" He didn't know what he wanted to ask.

A Fang didn't answer.

There were other passages on the road they walked before, but there are dead ends on the left and right, and only the door in front of them is the only passage.

This door is not locked.

Keriya became more and more vigilant, not only to beware of A Fang behind him, but also to be careful of possible dangers inside the door.

Until he opened the door big enough for people to pass through.

The space inside the door is not small, it is in the shape of a semicircle, and there seems to be a small pool in the middle of the circle.

There are many cages placed against the wall, and there are spirit beasts in the cages, it is not known whether they are dead or alive.If someone came in rashly, they would probably be scared to death when they saw these things. Keriya stood outside the door for a while without hearing any noise.

If these spirit beasts had self-awareness, then there should be a commotion at this time.

Keriya entered the door only to notice that there were other people in the room.

There was a person lying behind the door. If you listened carefully, you could hear the person's snoring, as if he was asleep.

Also, it is already night, there is no entertainment here, and it is uncomfortable to stay underground for a long time, and there seems to be no other way except to sleep.

There is only one person inside the door.

What Keriya didn't know was that this place was usually locked, and no one else guarded it.

There will be someone guarding it now because some outsiders suddenly broke into this small town, which made the people here a little vigilant.

However, there is really not much vigilance.

The longer the emperor has been in power, the less he will take other people seriously.

The person on duty today is not so conscientious. He spends most of the day sleeping.

Keriya walked past him, making a little noise deliberately, but it didn't wake him up.

The pool in the middle is circular, and there is a circle of raised things around the edge.

When Kria got closer, he realized that he seemed to have seen the same scene somewhere—in the ruins of the ghost knight.

After realizing this, Klia was not surprised.

When he got closer, he found a person lying in the pool. His whole body was submerged in the liquid, only his head was leaning against the edge, with his back facing the direction of the door.

If you stand at the door and look here, you won't find anyone in the pool.

"Yes……"

Hearing this unfamiliar voice, Keriya was startled, subconsciously made a defensive movement, and looked in the direction of the sound.

A Fang said, "Is...he...?"

The voice sounded extremely dry, and it took a lot of effort for A Fang just to pronounce these three words.

A Fang even felt that saying these three words was more difficult than fighting Keriya.

This is the first time A Fang has spoken.

Keriya was surprised for a while, didn't ask anything else, just answered A Fang's question: "...Yes."

The unlucky guy who was soaked in an unknown liquid was none other than Gass.

The unlucky guy has just left school, and although he has been with Keriya for a long time, he can't be as vigilant to everyone as Keriya. Speaking of which, he is still a young man with a pure heart.

Defensiveness is there, but it is not enough.

Gass described the appearance of Keriya and Eswe, and got positive news from an old man who handed him a cup of tea and he drank it.

After waking up, I can't help him.

Keria waited for a while but did not wait for A Fang to speak again, and it was impossible for him to reveal his information on his own initiative, so he turned to move Gus's body.

Fortunately, Gus is still alive.

Gass was wet from the neck down, and Klia was a little disgusted. He supported Gass's head and patted it lightly, but Gass didn't wake up.

Keriya asked A Fang: "Do you have any clothes?" His clothes were left on the ground.

A Fang didn't answer.

This small town can be regarded as isolated from the world, and there are not many clothes that can be worn on the upper body, and it is not comfortable to wear.

The clothes on A Fang's body are old, because he can be regarded as a "dead person" now, and his whole body is like a walking corpse. He doesn't care about clothes anymore, he doesn't know how long he has been wearing them.

Now, after listening to Keriya's questioning, facing the other party's gaze, he felt ashamed for a long time.

Although it was only for a moment, it was indeed a vivid feeling that he hadn't felt for a long time.

Keria had already turned his gaze away, the three of them were not the only ones present, his target was the one who fell asleep behind the door.

The man's clothes were still not very good, but they were much better than A Fang's.

Just in case, Keria knocked the man unconscious, then took off his shirt and pants, and put them on for Gus.

Keria's actions were a bit rough, Gus was treated like this, and he didn't wake up the whole time.

Keriya asked, "Is he all right?"

A Fang shook his head and didn't speak.

Keriya didn't ask any more.

The man's clothes looked too short on Gus's body, Klia realized now that Guss was not much shorter than him, and when Gus was on his shoulders, his feet dragged the ground.

Gus clasped his hands in front of Keria, and was pinched by Keria's left hand. Keria left with his right hand empty, carrying Gus on his back. Fortunately, three days later, he has almost recovered.

Keriya didn't have the slightest sympathy, and let Gass's bare feet rub against the ground as he walked.

Keriya had already memorized the way when she came, but it was still A Fang who walked ahead when leaving here.

They left surprisingly well.

When he got to the exit, Keria heard the sound of rain. He stopped and listened.

On a rainy night, it's hard to be seen doing something.

A Fang didn't stop walking, he lifted the door panel above his head and climbed up.

Without the obstruction of the door panel, the sound of the rain became clearer, and at the same time, the voice of people also reached Keriya's ears.

"Who?"

There are two people guarding the exit, they are more vigilant than the man underground.

The light in the room shone on A Fang's face, and the two of them saw his face clearly, and their bodies relaxed accordingly.

"It's so late, what are you doing up there instead of staying below?"

The small town is that big, and the people in the town know each other well.

The speaker knew that A Fang couldn't answer his question, so he thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he said again: "Is that old woman down there dying?"

Even if this person said such words, A Fang had no other reaction, he just stopped outside the exit.

Keriya didn't go out right away, he wanted to hear something more from those two people.

But that's all the two of them were talking about over and over again.

Until Kriya comes out of the ground.

The two people's gazes were on A Fang, and suddenly they saw someone appearing behind A Fang out of the corner of their eyes, they were both startled, and then they saw Keriya's face clearly.

"This, is this an outsider?"
