Chapter 526 - 526 The 14 Prisoners of D132 (1)

526 The 14 Prisoners of D132 (1)

D132 had a total of 14 prisoners.

Compared to the hundreds or even thousands of criminals in the other cells in Area D, the number of prisoners here was too small.

It was so small that Xu Qing didn’t need to think too much before the information about all the prisoners appeared in his mind.

At that moment, as the gate of D132’s cell opened and the decaying aura spread out, Xu Qing stood at the gate and calmly watched.

It was pitch-black inside the gate.

Xu Qing pondered for a few breaths before walking over.

He stepped into the dark space behind the cell step by step. He then waved his hand and the cell gate slammed shut.

The sound spread out and entered the ears of all the Pawns who were paying attention, turning into waves in their minds.

It was still dark inside cell D132. Only the sound of footsteps echoed.

That was Xu Qing’s footsteps. He didn’t use the Pawn’s authority to turn on the lights here because compared to the light that revealed everything, Xu Qing felt that the darkness here suited him more.

He liked to move in the dark to begin with.

After he got used to the darkness, he was able to discern his surroundings although it was still dim.

Just like the cell he had carried out the massacre, there was a huge square in the center of D132, surrounded by cages.

Xu Qing walked along the corridor outside the cages, passing by one empty room after another, until he stopped outside the 19th cage.

This cage was occupied.

It was a figure sitting cross-legged with its back facing Xu Qing. It was so tall that its head almost touched the ceiling of the cage.

It was completely naked, but had countless tentacles swaying on its body. Some long, some short, and they draped over its body like threads of clothing.

The giant seemed completely indifferent to Xu Qing’s presence and continued with its meal. The sound of its chewing echoed throughout the room, and its head shook as if it were tearing apart its food.

Outside the cage, Xu Qing stood still and watched with a cold gaze.

Through the shadow, he could clearly see that the thing the giant was eating was its tentacles.

At the same time, he also saw the prisoner’s appearance.

According to the prisoner’s information, it was a cloud beast.

On the way to the county capital, Xu Qing had seen cloud beasts in Yunfeng Province. They didn’t have intelligence and their bodies were above 1000 feet tall. This figure in front of him was much smaller in height and its appearance was slightly different.

Xu Qing retracted his gaze and continued walking. Very soon, after seven to eight cages, he saw the second prisoner.

This was a female prisoner.

She was a human.

Her entire body was covered in dirt and bite wounds.

One could barely make out that she was quite beautiful, and her figure was even more enchanting. At that moment, she was crouching in a corner, holding a straw doll in her hands as though she was coaxing it to sleep.

When Xu Qing passed by, she sensed him. She lifted her left index finger to her lips and shushed him softly.

It was as though she was reminding Xu Qing not to disturb the child’s rest.

The ground of the cage she was in was covered in straws and countless torn dolls.

Xu Qing stared coldly as the information about this woman appeared in his mind. This woman was once a heaven’s chosen from the Great Void Demon Transformation Sect.

In her early years, she had a fortuitous encounter and ate heavenly treasures like the longevity fruit. Originally, there were high hopes placed on her, but it was discovered that she was actually cooking and eating human infants.

This matter caused quite a commotion back then.

She should have been executed, but most of the families of the infants she had killed requested that she suffer a fate worse than death and endure endless torture.

Hence, she was imprisoned here.

At that moment, Xu Qing fixed his gaze on the torn straw dolls scattered on the ground of the cage. Their eyes were wide open, fixed on the woman. Suddenly, they opened their mouths and let out cries, pouncing toward her.

This included the straw doll in the woman’s arms. It crazily bit the woman.

The woman trembled as the straw dolls bit her, but she didn’t resist. Instead, she lifted her head and smiled at Xu Qing. Her smile was strange, as though she was greeting Xu Qing.

Xu Qing watched for a while before retracting his gaze and leaving, walking toward the next prisoner.

Just like that, he walked more than half a circle around the cell and compared the information of the criminals inside one by one. At the same time, he was also observing if there were any problems with them.

Xu Qing wasn’t too curious about why Area D132 was so unlucky. However, since he was the one guarding this cell, he had to control everything here.

Through his observation, the most direct feeling Xu Qing got was that the criminals in Area D132 were even stranger than the ones he had killed previously.

In fact, the seventh prisoner wasn’t even a flesh creature.

It was a millstone that was spinning on its own.

It continued to rotate, emitting a suction force, as though it wanted to absorb and crush all the substances in the cage.

Even Ghost Hand hadn’t introduced this race. According to the prisoner’s information, this was a stone demon.

It was a rare race that was born after the god’s fragmented-face arrived.

Right now, Xu Qing was standing in front of the 237th cage. The creature imprisoned in it was the 13th prisoner he saw in this cell.

The other party didn’t have a body and only had a head. It rolled on the ground of the cage. After noticing Xu Qing, it suddenly stopped and stared at Xu Qing with its red eyes, revealing a happy smile.

“This is too fun. You’re clearly dead but you don’t even know it. How fun. You’ll die in the hands of a straw-hat cultivator next time, but you’re already dead. How can you die again?”

“You died a tragic death. Your body collapsed but your head was still there. The cultivator said that he wanted to bring your head somewhere.”
