When he was caught by those prosecutors and threw himself into Yulin District Prison, Luo Yuan once thought that he would soon be put on the execution platform and executed by the judge.

However, after half a month in Yulin District Prison, her fate suddenly turned into an unknown direction.

.

"You see, these are all death row prisoners who meet the requirements." The supervisor in charge of guarding them said to the man beside him in a flattering tone that he had never seen before.

The man dressed up in formal clothes and dressed in particular. His eyes fell on the prisoners in the room, with unconcealed pickiness. Even if he was polite, his whole body was filled with a sense of superior arrogance.

He said, "That's all?" He seemed to look down on them.

Luo Yuan didn't know what they were here to do. She was just asked to change into clean clothes like everyone else in the morning and was rushed into the cage to wait.

The supervisor who bent over slightly wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled apologized: "You know, last month was just the month of execution, and that group of death row prisoners had been dealt with. This group only came in in the past half month, so the number of people was a little smaller."

The two people outside talked as if no one was around and the death row prisoners in the cage could hear clearly that these death row prisoners were both men and women, and were arrested for murder, robbery, rape and other crimes, including many brave and intelligent people.

Most of them will be executed soon, and the longest time will be the only one who can live until next year's execution month. But the men outside let them see hope, and he seemed to want to choose among them what the death row inmates should do. No matter what he wants to do, it must be better than waiting for death in this prison.

"I don't know what this gentleman wants to do. How about choosing me? I'm willing to do anything." A man in the cage soon stepped forward and said.

He approached the side of the cage, and the man in formal clothes outside frowned slightly as he approached, pretending to take out a handkerchief and cover his nose, without any intention of talking. The supervisor standing beside him seemed to have received some signal, and changed his servitude and instantly turned back to his usual arrogant attitude, stretched the electric shock stick in his hand into the cage, and waved it hard to beat the man to the ground.

"Who promised you to speak! Shut up! Let me lie on the ground!"

Seeing this, the other prisoners who were ready to move retreated one after another, unwilling to let themselves be vented as angry as the unlucky man. Luo Yuan also retreated. She stood at the end of the crowd, like a shadow from beginning to end, without saying anything, staying quietly in the corner, cowardly and mediocre.

In the more than 20 years of life in this world, she has always been like this, working plainly and down-to-earth, looking very easy to talk, easily bullied, and is an ordinary woman who can be seen everywhere.

She dared not recommend herself, nor did she dare to think about the identity of the man outside, and what she was going to do. She just hoped to end soon and go back to prison. But-

A black cat suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

The black cat walked leisurely past her, and its long tail swept her feet. Luo Yuan widened his eyes slightly, not sure why a black cat suddenly appeared here, and it was silent, as if it appeared out of thin air.

"That woman there." The voice of the man in formal wear pierced Luo Yuan's ears with penetration.

Luo Yuan felt the crowd blocking in front of him dispersed, and suddenly lit up his head with a beat. The man in formal wear pointed at her from a distance, "That woman, come and take a look."

Out of the corner of her eyes, the black cat suddenly disappeared, as if it was her illusion.

Luo Yuan walked to the front of the cage under the scolding of the supervisor, looked at the two men outside, and lowered his head slightly crampedly.

The man in formal wear looked at her and asked, "What crime did she commit?"

The supervisor immediately picked up the book he carried with him and quickly replied: "She was committed murder."

The man in formal wear was a little surprised, and seemed to not believe that such a thin woman who looked honest could still kill people, "Just her, kill people?"

The regulator added: "Yes, she killed three people, a well-known university professor, a business owner, and a well-known actor. All three of them were cut off by her hands and feet, and many knives were cut off. She was a vicious murderer."

"No, then she's the only one."

Luo Yuan was taken out by the regulator alone. Then, she saw that the men in formal wear chose three people, including her four, two men and two women. They were taken to wash again, put on new clothes, and then taken out of prison.

Seeing the gate of Yulin District Prison, the gray-white walls and bright red roadblocks, Luo Yuan felt like he was a different life. She never thought she could come out alive, and all this was too unreal.

They were loaded with high-end and spacious cars that I had never taken before, and gradually moved away from the Yulin District Prison and drove onto a road. The bustling high-rise buildings and crisscrossing lanes were in chaos and order, and all the people living here followed the rules. On this most crowded and congested street, this car had the privilege and passed through the central area without any obstacles because of any traffic lights.

The car drove for a long time, but no one in the car spoke, and there was a suffocating silence. Finally, another female prisoner sitting next to Luo Yuan couldn't help but speak: "Where are we going?"

In addition to the man in formal wear just now, there was another man who looked quite young. He also dressed up in formal wear, smiling as if he had a good temper. He heard this question, he looked around the four uneasy prisoners and laughed: "For you, it's a great thing."

A male prisoner's eyes lit up and asked, "What's the good thing?"

At first, the man in formal clothes interrupted their conversation impatiently: "Shut up, it's so noisy."

The smiling man spread his hands innocently, shut up his mouth and stopped talking, and no one else dared to ask again, but he felt expectant in his heart. Since it was not a bad thing or a good thing, what kind of good thing was it? Only Luo Yuan still felt uneasy, but she didn't dare to speak out, and sat honestly in her position waiting for everything that happened next.

When dusk was about to go, the car slowly drove into a forest, and the clear and smell of rotten wood rushed into his nose along the slightly open car window. Luo Yuan looked out the window silently, a little uncertain whether this was still in the Yulin District where she had lived for more than 20 years. The Yulin District has been fully developed and there should be no such large area of ​​forest.

The wide and clean long mountain road has a gate tower every distance, spanning the road. The car drove too fast, and Luo Yu'an couldn't see clearly the appearance of those gate towers. He only saw red lanterns hanging on the left and right of each gate tower. The two red lights that lit up in the dusk seemed to gradually awakening monster eyes.

The car finally stopped in front of a gatehouse. Luo Yuan and the others got out of the car and looked up at the gatehouse in front of him. The raised three-story eaves were supported by red painted stone pillars. Many strange patterns without specific shapes were carved on the stone pillars. The interlaced and complex patterns made people feel dizzy after looking at them for a long time. In a trance, the red mottled marks eroded by wind and rain seemed to be bloodstains, and were slowly flowing down the pillars.

Two men in formal attire who seemed arrogant and frivolous in the car got out of the car. When they saw two old men waiting with red lanterns by the door, they hurriedly bowed and bowed like a pair of grandchildren.

They were two old ladies with gray hair and white dresses. They looked different, but their similar outfits were the same expression. At first glance, they looked exactly the same. One of the old ladies waved to Luo Yu'an and the other four, then turned around and led the way in front, and walked into the gatehouse.

As for the two men who sent them over, they said nothing, with awe and awe-inspiring expressions. They quickly returned to the car and turned around and drove away, like deliverymen who had completed the task.

In a strange place, strange people. At this moment of nighttime, the four death row prisoners looked at the car that was leaving and the guide in front of them. Hesitated but had no choice but to walk into the gatehouse with the two old ladies, as if they had taken the initiative to send themselves into the monster's huge mouth.

The buildings that appeared inside the gatehouse shocked the four of them again.

Nowadays, bustling tall buildings have been built in most places outside. Buildings like this, built of wood tiles, seem to be in the style of hundreds of years ago or earlier, and are a relic from centuries ago. They have long disappeared into the daily lives of ordinary people. Even in various TV and films, they have never seen such a large, luxurious and exquisite ancient house.

Being in it, they just feel that they have traveled through time and space, and even the world is in chaos, and the fear and doubts in their hearts are constantly superimposed.

One after another, the shadows of gloomy trees, the silent corridors and courtyards. The shadows were like the old man leading the way in front brought them into the interior of the maze ancient house and to an extremely strange courtyard.

The entire courtyard is like a moustache, with four rooms in four directions. A slightly smaller building is built in the center of the courtyard. Unlike the ancient buildings I saw along the way, Luo Yu'an felt that the building in the middle of the moustache is more like an enlarged shrine - she and her sister had seen this type of shrine in a custom hall, and it is said to be a shrine of the highest specification.

"You, live in these four rooms separately." An old lady said.

She stood there, looking at them with slightly cloudy eyes, her emotions-free look that looked like a dead object made people feel uncomfortable from the bottom of her heart.

The four of them were frightened by this strange place, and unconsciously did what she said, and under her gaze, they obediently entered the four rooms in the Sifang yard.

Luo Yu'an entered the room on his right hand. The room was empty and there was nothing. The ground was smooth and clean, the walls were painted with red paint, and the beams were covered with wood. Because the light was not good, it was impossible to see what was carved.

The sound of footsteps sounded in the corridor outside the door. It was the two old ladies who walked around the corridor and closed the four doors one by one. The slight bang of the door closing made Luo Yuan feel unreasonably jumped.

It was completely dark, and there was no clear view of anything in the house. Only a little light was faintly through the window edge. Luo Yuan couldn't help but look out the crack at the door and saw two red lights exiting the yard. They were two old ladies carrying lanterns and leaving the small door where they came in. It should have been locked. She heard the sound of the lock. When she entered the yard just now, she noticed that the lock on the small door had two locks, both of which were thick and heavy.

Luo Yuan hugged herself tightly in the darkness. She looked around the empty dark room and felt something quietly appearing from the darkness. It might be a pair of hands, suddenly holding her feet, maybe strands of hair, and suddenly fell from the beam of the room to her. Luo Yuan couldn't control her imagination and couldn't help but shrink herself into a ball.

After not knowing how long it took, she heard the sound of opening the door. One of the four people opened the door, which should be a man. The footsteps of his walking in the corridor were very dull, and even if he was deliberately lightened, it was still very loud.

The man went to knock on the door next to him and whispered, "Open the door and come out!"

"Hey! Come out quickly. What the hell is this? You are not really going to just shrank in the house for a night, right? You all come out and talk about what to do!"

Luo Yuan saw the man's blurry black shadow standing in front of a door next door through the crack of the door, pursing her lips. She knew that this was the tallest man among the four.

In such a strange environment, it is indeed more secure to be with others, but... this man was imprisoned because he raped and killed more than a dozen women. The man failed to knock on the door and walked towards her cursingly. Luo Yuan quickly raised his hand and pressed his door tightly.

At this moment, a red light lit up in the deep darkness - in the shrine-like room in the center.
