Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 385: Don’t stop
Carefully climbing over the wall, Iasia walked silently into the back garden of the villa and found an entrance covered by shrubs according to the prompts on the map.
There is a lot of dirt on the entrance cover. You can clean it with a gentle sweep. When you open it, you will see that the passage is a staircase going straight down.
Taking out the prepared magic lamp, Ias tiptoed into the underground of the villa.
This staircase has the words "Safety Passage" written from bottom to top, which is used for emergency escape.
For Ias, this is an excellent way to infiltrate.
Seeing a light at the end of the passage, Ias leaned against the wall, pricking up her ears to be wary of anyone approaching. She opened the obtained intelligence map and wrote down the personnel distribution and patrol range on it.
When infiltrating, Ias planned not to kill anyone and avoid exposing her whereabouts to the greatest extent, but her success fell short.
When returning, Ias also wanted to return as quietly as possible along the original route.
The later others find out that the slave is missing, the more favorable her actions will be.
As long as Huck can be successfully rescued and escaped from Xidelatra, it will be a victory for Ias.
Determining the target again, Ias took a deep breath, stuffed the intelligence map into her gauntlet, and continued sneaking in.
The Chaoyang Chamber of Commerce's slave auction house is roughly divided into three parts.
The first part is the luxurious villa above, used to cover the slave auction house and entertain guests.
The second part is the first underground floor where the auction actually takes place. It is large enough to accommodate a thousand people for bidding at the same time, and can be reached directly through the special passage of the villa.
The third part is the second underground level with complex functions, which is used to imprison various slaves, take care of their daily life, provide them with various educations, and enhance their value
Except for slaves who have just been captured and slaves who are judged to be auctioned off at once, most slaves will receive certain education from the auction house so that they can sell for a good price among dignitaries.
Ias and Huck were sent here and basically did not experience any education.
In Ias' memory, there are only memories of staying in a dark cage.
For the auction house, Ias itself is an excellent commodity and can be sold quickly. There is no need to do too much training, which is a waste of money and time. It only needs to be given the minimum water and food. That's it.
Unfortunately, slaves who cannot be sold cannot always receive that kind of education and enjoy the same preferential treatment as ordinary people.
After being trained and educated, if the slave is still not sold after two or three times, the auction house will determine that the slave is not as valuable as imagined, and will only provide life and water to the slave and hide it in the snow.
What is incredible is that slaves who are treated like this will subconsciously think that if they continue to sink like this, they will only be thrown into a corner and die, or sold to some worthless people and live a miserable life.
So, after being treated indifferently for a period of time, the slaves who have been trained will actually try their best to show their charm to the people who come to the auction, and try to get the people present to buy them.
Most of these purchased slaves will become loyal slaves and serve their masters wholeheartedly.
Some people even choose this kind of slaves to buy.
They will shout out the lowest price at the last second when no one bids and the auction hammer is about to fall. Auctioning this kind of slave comes from the spiritual "If it weren't for me, she would spend her life in a cage." The satisfaction of "living a lifetime" is like a poison, numbing their nerves and making them endlessly happy.
Even if some people are slaves, they still enjoy this feeling.
Ias didn't know the operating mechanism and rules of the auction house, nor did she know what the notes written on the map were. She only knew that Huck was at the place where slaves were kept, and she could find Huck there.
It’s just that this auction house has two places for slaves, one for slaves who have not been educated and trained, and one for slaves who have been trained.
Through the dim passage, the place where Ias was heading was the room where these trained slaves were placed.
The reason why she chose that place was purely because it was close to where she came in.
By going down the stairs, Ias carefully avoided everyone on patrol.
As the intelligence dealer said, the place is really lax. Inspectors often end their inspections with a yawn and return to the same place, easily avoiding their sight.
This made it easy for Ias to reach her destination.
It was a slightly worn wooden door. Behind the door was the place where her brother was. Ias stood in front of the door and was filled with emotion.
It was finally time to meet her brother, but she still didn't open the door.
She didn't know what was happening to her brother now. When she saw her sister, he would complain that she didn't come to save him earlier.
Perhaps, after staying in the cage for a long time, Huck had already lost hope of escaping and became unwilling to leave the cage.
When the time comes, how can I convince him to follow in my footsteps and leave this auction house?
No matter what, if you stop moving forward because of fear, there will be no results.
Even if it had been a moment earlier, Ias wanted to see her brother, so she would show up here against Yang Yu's order.
A moment earlier, perhaps, a moment earlier could have prevented Huck from falling, so she stood here.
Ias will never allow herself to stop moving forward because of the fear in her heart.
Grabbing the wrist of her left hand with her right hand, Ias took a firm step forward and pushed open the door of the room. Cages covered by black cloth came into view.
The dim light in the room made Ias dizzy. The memory of being locked up in a cage as a slave revived in her head at this moment. The scenery here was no different from that then.
The creaking sound of the door closing brought Ias's consciousness back to the present from the painful memories. She could no longer control her legs and quickly walked between the cages. Cover the part and look for the petite figure in your memory.
"Huck! Huck, where are you?
It's me, your sister, Ias, I'm here to save you!
Huck, where are you? ”
Passing through one cage after another, no one responded to Ias.
And she did not find the petite figure in her memory in the cage.
Most of the cages are empty, and most of the cages containing slaves are strong men.
Suddenly, Ias noticed something strange.
She stopped walking between the cages, turned around and looked at the cage behind her, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
Ias’ intuition told her that the person in the cage was not a slave at all.
