Under the guidance of the handprints, the efficacy of the concoction poured into the monster's body was further guided. The previously aggressive monster became increasingly quiet at this moment. Its eyes were half-open and half-closed, as if it would fall asleep at any time.

But its body gradually became brighter, as if a bright light lit up in its abdomen, illuminating its flesh and blood with crystal clear light.

Bones, blood vessels, muscle lines, etc. are all clearly visible.

One after another, golden symbols emerged on its translucent skin. Each symbol was mysterious, obscure, and extremely complex.

These symbols are intertwined to make this monster look like a finely crafted work of art.

"Did it succeed?"

Qingzhu was also completely attracted, staring at the monster in the cage without blinking.

Soon, she got the answer.

A burst of black energy suddenly emerged from the monster's abdomen for no apparent reason. The black energy quickly wrapped around the symbols. The symbols quickly collapsed, and the illuminated body quickly dimmed and returned to normal.

Wow!!

The monster's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the scarlet pupils were quickly infected with violence.

Ouch!!

There was a deafening roar.

The monster's body suddenly swelled again, and another layer of the cage was instantly shattered. It twisted its head and struggled violently. The few abandoned people holding forks at it could not control it for a moment.

Especially the fork stuck in its neck showed signs of breaking under its twisting.

The strange thing is that, facing this monster that once again arose, the abandoned people surrounding them did not panic at all. There was only a burst of boos from the crowd, and some people even silently closed their eyes.

The monster's mother already realized what was about to happen and burst out crying "Wow".

Suddenly two abandoned people walked out of the crowd, one on the left and the other on the right, grabbed the woman, and even dragged her away, no matter how hard she kicked her legs and struggled, they were indifferent.

The monster's roar became more and more intrusive, and its struggle became even more fierce.

Ada no longer performed the mudra, he lowered his head with a complicated expression, and waved his hand. Several abandoned people who had been waiting next to him with spears immediately surrounded the violently shaking cage, holding up their spears and sliding them along the gaps in the cage.

They all stabbed in.

Qingzhu was right, this monster looked very much like the legendary Qiongqi, but it was far less powerful. Several spears were thrust into it, immediately poking out several bloody holes in its body.

It's just that this monster's vitality is so strong. One of the spears was pierced through its eye socket. When it was pulled out, a series of sticky plasma came out from the spearhead. It still didn't die all at once. It struggled violently and roared, as if it didn't know fear.

Likewise, the cage sways left and right, making a "clang" sound.

The abandoned people who were holding spears withdrew their spears indifferently, and then stabbed them again.

Several spears kept piercing the monster's body, and the sound of the spearhead tearing flesh could not be heard. The abandoned people watching around had already begun to leave one after another. They came here only to care about the two people who were locked in the cage.

Children, however, do not have the bad taste of watching beheadings at the food market.

Under the constant assassination, the monster in the cage could no longer hold back no matter how strong it was. At first, it was still roaring and struggling, but it was already lying there motionless. It whined twice from time to time, and blood flowed out, just waiting for it.

When the vitality was completely cut off, the body had been stabbed with wooden spears to the point where its original appearance was no longer visible.

Ada greeted the abandoned people and tried to get the monster's body out of the cage. The abandoned people shook their heads and sighed one after another as they walked past me. My eyes were still on the bloody monster corpse, digesting what I had seen tonight.

smell.

"Everyone has a cage in their heart, which is the most invisible thing in human nature. Even I don't know what is in the cage in my heart.

Someone has opened the cage on us and allowed us to become our truest self.

This may be something that many people envy, right?

But only by truly experiencing it can you realize how vicious a curse it is.

When you open the cage, you may not even be able to face your own appearance.

This is the source of sorrow and suffering for our people that has lasted for thousands of years."

An old voice suddenly sounded behind me.

The language spoken by the other party is very obscure, definitely Chinese, but not vernacular. The tone is a bit close to the accent of the Heluo area, but more primitive.

This is... Yayan!!

In short, it is ancient Mandarin!!

Yayan has been around since the Xia Dynasty, with the pronunciation in the Heluo area as the standard pronunciation, and it lasted until the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties, but it was different in every dynasty.

Yao once taught me the pronunciation of Yayan in the Shang Dynasty. The pronunciation of the Yayan spoken by the person behind me is more ancient and the syllables are more vague. It should be the Yayan of the pre-Shang Dynasty, that is, the Yayan of the Xia Dynasty.

Word.

None of us noticed that someone was coming quietly behind us, so we all turned around in shock.

An old man with a cane was standing behind us.

His dress was incompatible with the abandoned people here. He was not naked. He was wearing a white robe. The fabric was probably collected from those who had been in trouble. His silver hair was disheveled and his face was wrinkled, as if he was young.

He contracted smallpox, leaving pockmarks all over his face. He was extremely ugly, except for his bright eyes.

He didn't seem to notice our fear and vigilance. He looked at the cage and the corpse of the monster that Ada and the others had taken away, and said to himself: "The curse of the past will open the cage in our hearts and let us become our true self. But for this

A blank piece of paper is of little use to a child, so the curse will not occur before the age of twelve, which is our happiest time.

The age of twelve is a watershed in our lives, the dividing line between happiness and pain.

No one knows what is in their hearts. For the sake of safety and the continuation of the ethnic group, today's scene happened. We must confirm who is harmless.

We can only kill those children who have demons in their inner cages and cannot control them at all.

This is the 279th child I have seen killed in my life.

You may not believe it, but he... is actually a good boy.

Compared to the one who survived, I actually like him more.

The one who survived had a powerful father, who always brought more prey to his family every time he hunted. Relying on his father, he was unreasonable, often bullying other children, and had no respect for his elders, but who

It is also conceivable that such a bully actually has a sheep in his inner cage, and his essence is a weak sheep.

As for the one who died, his father died in the war early, and his mother could not allocate more food. He was thin, timid, and usually submissive. No matter what he was asked to do, he would try his best to do it best.

, and never caused trouble to others, but who knew that there was actually a devil in his inner cage. It turned out that behind his humility and patience, there was a Qiongqi, a Qiongqi who hated good people and good things, and only liked bad people and bad things.

…

It's a pity that he can't control such power. He has sunk into it and can't wake up at all..."
