The wind blew gently, and the slender leaves swayed slightly in the wind.

Clear water flows through the stream and through the door of the mountain hut.

The cottage with closed doors and windows was pitch black, as if no one was living in it. All kinds of debris were placed in scattered, and the table was covered with a thick layer of dust.

The Hunter's Hunter is originally for temporary use for hunters to hunt. Especially in winter, if there is no such a small house, the hunter entering the deep mountains will most likely be frozen to death on the road.

Hunting areas are very common.

However, this one is not very common.

The wooden board under the cabinet was quietly lifted up, revealing a pair of bloodshot eyes.

"Is anyone?" a voice asked.

"No, no one." The owner of the eyes replied.

"Then go and go back quickly." Another voice said.

The wooden board was carefully lifted up completely, revealing a narrow tunnel. A young man dressed in an ordinary civilian crawled out of the tunnel, wearing a thick cotton jacket and carrying a bucket of water in his hand.

He carefully opened the door and walked to the stream to get a bucket of water, then ran back to the room nervously.

After a while, I came out again and fed water. I fed about eight buckets of water in a row, and I was so tired that I was panting. But my eyes were still nervously looking around.

Maybe it was because he was too nervous, and when he was taking the last bucket of water, he was a little unable to lift his breath. The bucket even fell into the stream at one point. Fortunately, he moved quickly and grabbed it back.

Carrying the bucket, he quickly returned to the hunter's hut, and then carefully closed the door again. He also pulled it with a rope tied to the door latch, pretending to be locked from outside.

Carrying the bucket, he quickly returned to the tunnel he had just come out, and then walked step by step deeper.

The tunnel was so dark that he had to walk very carefully, otherwise he might roll down the tunnel with the people and the barrels.

Finally, he finally walked to the end of the tunnel. A space of about fifty square meters appeared in front of him.

It was a dim room, and with the faint light of the oil lamp, you could barely see that it was full of things and people.

Alvin was sitting next to the wall in the innermost corner, covered with a blanket.

Except for a large pool, the rest of the area is filled with bread, vegetables and other daily necessities.

As for the first time, it was Sean and his men.

There was only a space of fifty square meters, which squeezed nearly twenty people, and combined with the mountain of living supplies, the environment seemed extremely harsh.

Well, it not only looks, but is actually extremely bad. Although there are vents here, the air is still very turbid. Perhaps due to the design, there is a bit of water seeping, and there is a musty smell in the air. I don’t know how long it can be eaten for those piled up foods. As for the smell of feces and urine, it can’t be escaped.

Pour the last bucket of water into the pool, and the soldier disguised as a civilian came to Shawn's side with a heavy breath.

"The water is ready."

"I understand." Sean, who was playing chess, didn't even look back and was still focused on the board. His opponent was a thin-looking cavalryman.

Sean was playing chess, and several cavalrymen were watching. Miller was dozing off beside him. The undressed jailer squatted in the corner, dazed.

Alvin sat quietly and closed his eyes. The light was very dark and he couldn't see his face clearly, but his expression seemed a little painful. His eyebrows frowned from time to time.

The entire underground space is quiet.

About ten minutes later, Sean suddenly picked up the chess piece and pushed forward three steps: "General!"

Suddenly, everyone widened their eyes and stretched their necks.

After a moment, the cavalry who was playing chess with him sighed: "I lost."

"Hahahaha! I knew I would definitely win!" Sean said happily: "But I really didn't expect you to be very good at playing chess. No one in the team can beat you! Even I lost five games in a row!"

The thin cavalry scratched his head and smiled, as if he was a little embarrassed to praise Sean.

The soldiers around also laughed.

As he smiled, Sean's smile disappeared, and his originally shiny gaze turned into a lifeless and depressed look.

He looked back at Alvin who was sitting in the corner of the wall.

Alvin was still closing his eyes, but the jailer brother not far from Alvin spoke: "When can we go out?"

"Wait a few more days." Sean replied, "The longer you wait, the safer it will be."

"Why don't you have to stay here for the rest of your life? How many days have we passed? No, we stay here, and we don't even know how many days have passed."

"Then you have to wait." Sean lowered his head and picked his nails.

"Can you let me go first?" said the jailer, with his black eyes open, "She must be the priority to pursue you. And... I think I'm even more unsafe when I'm with you."

Sean raised his head, not looking at the jailer, and said in a plain tone: "First, we took you with you not for your safety, but for avoiding you being caught by her, and then betray us. Second, staying here and killing you, you can only choose the same thing. If you leave you out of the option."

"Then can I go out and take a shower? I haven't taken a shower for a long time and I feel like I'm covered in lice."

"Bathing is not included in the option. I can't even take a shower. Do you actually want to take a shower?"

The jailer brother was helpless and kept scratching his messy hair, turning his head to look at Alvin and said, "What about him? I think he might need a doctor. The wound is inflamed. If he just keeps it, he might die here."

"He will not die. If there were indeed a Lich who followed him, the Lich would definitely not allow him to die. In short, no one is allowed to leave here except to carry water until we eat all our food."

In the corner, Alvin frowned slightly and frowned again. The beads of sweat on his forehead were visible to the naked eye in such a dim light.

Time passes by bit by bit.

There is no day and night in this place, as if everything is still. Boring, boring, boring, and boring have become the main color. Everyone keeps repeating some boring actions.

At the beginning, they could play some small games and chat, but everyone was left in a daze. At the beginning, the chessboard everyone was rushing to ask for was thrown aside, and even the pieces seemed to be missing.

The water in the pool has been rotated several times, and the food is decreasing bit by bit.

During this period, Alvin was almost in a coma and did not wake up until the fourteenth day.

Why do you know it is the 14th day?

Because someone secretly went up to see the light every day and recorded the time.

"I prepared this place more than a month ago. I hid here, and as long as we didn't go out, she would never find us anyway. The food here supports us for two months. When we go out in two months, she must have relaxed her vigilance. There are not many people in Kapu, but the place is not small, and they are all mountainous. We secretly climbed the mountains and walked towards Baicheng, and she wouldn't have found us."

"You knew you were going to escape?" Alvin asked weakly.

"That's right. I always feel that she will kill me at any time, so I made some preparations in advance."

"I don't feel smart."

"She can't be smart. How smart can a girl who has been locked in prison since she was a child?"

"Since she is not smart, why does the demon choose her as the devil?"

"You have to ask the devil." After thinking about it, Sean said again: "Maybe her personality is bad enough, right? I think this may be one of the reasons. Her capricious personality, irritability, willfulness. When she holds your power of life and death, you will feel that the whole world is dark. Maybe this time, pursuing your two partners...what are they called?"

"George and Matthew."

"Yes, it's them. Maybe she won't complete the mission this time to pursue them, and she may not have killed me, but one day she will have killed me for some other reason. I am on the verge of death every day. That kind of fear is far beyond what the previous lord gave me. I have seen the hypocrisy of heaven long ago, the era of the reign of the Holy See. But to be honest, this is the first time I have seen the evil of the demon. If I have to choose one of two, hypocrisy is more pleasing."

"Why have to choose one of two? Isn't there a third party?"

"You talk about you? Hehehehe." Sean laughed: "You must be able to come to us first. The Knights of the Silver Moon have never been to Kap, so there is no Knights of the Silver Moon in the options of those who live in Kap. Besides... can you really protect those who believe in you?"

"Who can protect those who believe in them? Demon? Or Angel?" Sean asked back.

"Okay, I can't." Sean spread his hands helplessly: "I have a say in this regard. At first I believed in the Holy See, and then I found that they always lie, so I hate them. Then I believed in the devil and almost lost my life. Now I believe in you, I don't know when I can go out with you. Obviously, it's useless to regret going back to the new paradise now, because the whole continent is already in chaos and nowhere is safe. This is a bad era, terrible."

Sean and Alvin looked at each other silently.

After a while, Sean continued, "Sometimes I think, it would be great if any of you are willing to give in. If two parties are willing to give in, then the situation will at least go back to the past. Everyone will live a peaceful and comfortable life."

"But there will be no justice."

"Yes, but at least we can survive. Maybe you should let everyone choose one, be righteous or live. At the earliest, when Lich King Grey defeated the Angels Legion at the Salted Fish Harbor, everyone supported him. But that's because everyone thought he could really win. Now he is no longer here, and his son Richie doesn't seem to end the war soon."

Alvin stopped talking.

I kept waiting, waiting. Three days later, a "hunter" opened the wooden board at the entrance of the tunnel.
Chapter completed!
