Starting with the frog, he has ruled for eternity.

Chapter 54 Gua? Blood Jade

"Escape? You can't escape! Don't even think about it! I've been here for quite a while, coming and going, and I've seen countless people come in and out, but I've never seen anyone manage to escape!" the kid said confidently, while giving the frog a careful look.

"You toad, you're really strange! No one else thought of escaping after they came in, but you did..." He shook his head. "After coming in, I only saw people being carried away by those ghost soldiers."

"Take it away?" Fang Yuan was taken aback.

"Yes, they take them away. Those ghost soldiers never talk to each other, and I don't know where they're being taken, but I don't think it'll be a good end. I've never seen anyone who's been taken away ever come back."

Fang Yuan remained silent.

The word "lifted" is used in a strange way, somewhat like the way chickens are slaughtered in the countryside, where they are grabbed by the wings and lifted up.

Looking at the prison again, Fang Yuan was increasingly reminded of a chicken coop.

They were treated like chickens waiting to be slaughtered.

Fang Yuan stopped talking, but the child wouldn't calm down.

"Hey, Toad, what should I call you? How did you get in here?"

"Gu Yue Fang Zheng, just call me Fang Zheng." Fang Yuan casually made up a name and looked at the child again, "And you? What's your name? How did you get in?" Fang Yuan stared at him.

"Me? I'm Xiaobai. I was captured from outside by the ghost soldiers. I used to live in the east of Yinyang City."

"The eastern part of Hidden Sun City!?" Fang Yuan was taken aback. "Isn't that the old, deserted district?"

"Is there no one left!?" Xiaobai was taken aback for a moment, but then waved her hand dismissively, "Yeah, it's been so long, it's normal that there's no one left."

"How long?" Fang Yuan frowned and shook his head uneasily.

Of course, the most important thing is the frog's damn static visual...

As long as he remains still, the other person will gradually begin to blur out of his sight.

"How long? How would I know? There's no sun here, how would I know the days? Anyway, people like you who have been captured here have been here at least thirty or forty times, if not fifty or sixty."

"Oh, this is the first time I've caught a toad like you," the child said in a low voice.

Fang Yuan gasped.

Fifty or sixty times?

So many?

You should know that there were quite a few corpses in that Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Although Fang Yuan didn't count them in detail, there were still quite a few. Adding the two together, heaven knows how many there were.

"Yeah, usually it's about ten people each time. It's quite rare that they only arrested the two of you this time."

Xiaobai added another sentence.

"About ten..." Chen Tieshan suddenly interrupted, still a little dizzy and not quite clear-headed, "Me...and those disciples...and the Lu family's...second young master..."

If you include those people, there are exactly ten or so!

Could it be that Zuixianlou and this prison are connected?

Suddenly, in the prison corridor, the gaunt figure of a ghostly soldier patrolled past.

Seeing this, Fang Yuan dared not speak. Chen Tieshan was so frightened that his eyes widened, and cold sweat instantly poured down his face as he looked around.

"Ignore them. They won't listen to us. As long as you don't try to escape the cage, even if you throw your poop in their faces, they won't react." The child was quite bold, showing no fear of the ghostly figures.

He seemed to get more and more excited as he talked.

"So, do you know any other interesting things? Tell us about them!"

"No..." Fang Yuan had no intention of talking to the child. He didn't want to die, especially not to wait to die in this chicken coop.

"I don't see that many people in the prison. How often do they remove people? And how many are removed at once?"

Fang Yuan glanced at the gaunt ghost and saw that the child spoke to the ghost without the ghost reacting, so he felt relieved and continued to question the child.

"How long...?" The child shook his head. "How would I know? I haven't kept track. Anyway, about once I take a nap, I see two or three people disappear."

If this child only sleeps once a day, then that means three or four children can be kidnapped each day...

Why does this look so much like three meals a day?

Fang Yuan subconsciously recalled the image of Prince Liang, with his enormous appetite, and then looked at this place that resembled a chicken coop…

Could it be that everything caught here is considered food?

"You toad, you're so boring. You just want me to talk about things. You should at least tell me something interesting, or I won't tell you anything." The child pouted unhappily when Fang Yuanguang asked him.

"...I want to escape," Fang Yuan replied in a low voice. "Then tell me what else you know? I can tell you some stories in exchange."

"Let me think, I know a lot..." the child began counting on his fingers, "For example..."

……

"Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang! Is Little Frog really beyond saving?!" Lu Nan looked at Lord Zhang with a worried expression.

Lord Zhang remained silent upon hearing this.

He didn't even see the so-called frog, nor did he look at Director Chen.

The problem is, all the witnesses unanimously said that Director Chen arrived at the east side of the city, but the city gates were not open. How could Director Chen have flown out of his city out of thin air?

Zhang Zhengnan asked himself if he truly possessed the ability, but that didn't mean Director Chen did. Besides, even if he wanted to fly out of the city, it would take him half a day to climb the city wall.

How could the guards on the city wall not see them?

But if it hadn't flown out...

That means there's nothing but the strange silence that hasn't been heard from at all.

"..." Thinking of this, Lord Zhang could only shake his head and look at Lu's mother with a slightly solemn expression.

"Currently, for all missing persons cases like this, I have reviewed all the files in the city, starting from fifty or sixty years ago, but there are very few."

"The chances of finding it are extremely slim."

"And what you described—the gaunt figure, the pitch-black ghost hand, the leech with human eyes, and the Drunken Immortal Pavilion—is utterly unheard of. If any similar records appear in the files, I can certainly recall a few..."

"Now that things have come to this..." Lord Zhang couldn't help but sigh deeply.

He had never heard of such a thing before, so how could he possibly find and rescue the person?

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do about this."

He could only give a weak reply.

Lu's mother nodded silently, patted Nan Nan's shoulder, and pulled Nan Nan into her arms.

Who could have imagined that something like this would suddenly happen?

But why?

For the past few decades, they had lived peacefully in Lujiacheng. How come in such a short period of time, first Lujiacheng disappeared without a trace, and then an accident also happened in Yinyang City?

How could this happen?!

Lu's mother couldn't help but sigh.

What worried Lu's mother and Lord Zhang even more was...

What exactly is going on with that strange situation?

Why did you come to Hidden Sun City?

"You mean, you've seen these ghost soldiers using blood jade as currency for transactions?!"
