Chapter 65, Heartbreaking

The ghost guy sat on the ground gasping for breath, and when he heard Farke's words, he smiled and said, "Devil grass... Have you seen it? That's just its nickname. ”

Farke shrugged: "Who cares about the name of the grass?" ”

“.... You've found this stronghold, and Scar is gone... I can't go back to the organization... The answers you want to know are in that door..."

The ghost guy pointed to a large wooden door in the back with his eyes.

The door looked thick and sturdy, and there were neither handles nor keyholes in the bare panel.

The ghost guy was about to speak, but Falk jumped out to stop him.

"You don't have to say it, I know! It's a trap, right? Cracking is my forte, don't say it, it's my show time! ”

Falke rubbed his hands together excitedly and pulled a mess of knickknacks out of his pocket.

He pressed against the door and began to search up and down.

But a minute passed, two minutes passed, and after half an hour, Klose finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Kane!"

He simply said the name, and the latter walked to the door with heavy steps.

Throw your fist, punch out.

After two simple movements, the heavy wooden door was blasted into a pile of sawdust by Kane.

Falck was sweating and stood beside him dumbfounded.

Ward waved his hand excitedly and walked over: "Hey! This is my favorite way to open the door~ Miracle of power! ”

Falke lowered his head and pouted, "Rude." ”

When the wooden door collapsed, the crowd stepped over the debris and entered the room where the secret was hidden.

This room was completely unexpected, because it was big enough! Spacious enough! There are enough people!

Yes, there were a lot of people, and they were all standing still, not affected by the movement that Kane had just made.

Several large machines "smack" and dump piles of pressed finished pills onto the conveyor belt.

The men were all standing in front of the conveyor belt, expressionless as they removed the pills, packed them, and threw them in the basket at their feet.

"These people...."

Klose walked over to the man closest to him and looked into the other's face.

"This is!?"

He was astonished to find that the man was blind! And it should be artificially blinded.

"Hey!"

Klose shouted again in the other's ear, but there was still no response.

"Blind and deaf?!"

After coming to this conclusion, Klose unconsciously set his eyes on Celemon.

"No need to try... They can't see, they can't hear, they can't speak. ”

At the door, the ghost's voice sounded at the right time.

"It's so rare~ Where did you find so many Celestials?"

Ward's words drew a big roll of the eye from Celem.

"Where did you get it? Hehehe... No, no, no, they were all normal people. ”

The ghost laughed, and the laughter felt like a saw blade sawing at your eardrums.

Klose seemed to think of something, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Could it be.... You deliberately made them like this in order to prevent them from escaping and leaking information?! ”

"Shhhh

Klose's speculation caused everyone to gasp.

Is this all artificial? Gouge out your eyes, cut out your tongue, pierce your eardrums .... These words are chilling just to say.

If that's the case... Then this method can no longer be described only by the word "cruel"! It's madness!

Instead of answering, the ghost man pouted and shrugged.

"This is the rule of the organization, and it is said that it is still the rule set by the big boss himself.... The big guys need them to keep secrets. ”

Klose ignored his words, and swept over the faces of the people who were doing the mechanical movements repeatedly.

"Could it be.... The eldest son of the old Bill family is also among these people? ”

"Ahh ...”

Klose's words caused Pyricite to cover her face, and the little girl was already frightened by the scene before her.

The Salle goalkeeper gently hugged the female companion in his arms and comforted him, and Ward was already clenching his fists and trembling all over.

The ghost guy chuckled and said, "Don't worry, the old Bill's family is more useful than these people, so he saved his eyes and ears." ”

The ghost guy pointed to a completely enclosed hut not far away and said, "He knows alchemy, so he is in charge of some more high-end and sophisticated work." ”

Falke stared blankly at the assembly line hall with more than 20 people, and suddenly said, "You... In mass production just that kind of pill!? ”

The ghost guy was noncommittal, he really didn't seem ready to go back to that organization.

"As you can see, the big boss needs these devil potions, as for whether he is going to make a lot of money or keep it for himself... It doesn't matter anymore. ”

Klose suddenly remembered something and asked, "If you spread the legend of the pumpkin ghost so that the townspeople would not go out at night, why did you do that?" And we see you seem to be looking for something in the pumpkin field! ”

The ghost guy moved a bench and sat down for himself, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

"This brings us to the 'devil's grass' just mentioned, whose original name was 'Naouga', is a companion grass that grows specifically in pumpkin fields... I don't know why, not only is there a lot of devil grass here in Pumpkin Town, but these people don't have the habit of weeding, which is why we chose this place. ”

I see! Just because of these associated grasses in the pumpkin fields of this town, dozens of normal people here can only live in the haze without five senses all their lives.

Klose looked at the victims of these mechanical movements, and a boundless anger suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Kane! Ruined here! ”

With Klose's order, Kane headed for a tornado that raged by! The machine and the conveyor belt were broken into pieces in three or two clicks.

Ward angrily joined in, as if this was the only way to make him feel better.

It wasn't until the machine was destroyed and they could no longer touch the pills in their hands that they straightened up one by one.

They don't know what's going on, they can only tremble like helpless chicks...

"Who are you....?"

At that moment, a faint voice came from the closed room.

The wooden door, which had been sealed, was opened, and a man poked out half of his head and looked out.

It turned out that Kane had just smashed the machine and broke the lock with him.

Klose took a few deep breaths to calm himself. He said to the man, "Don't be afraid, we have come to save you, and you are free now." ”

The man seemed incredulous. But when he looked at the ruined machines around him, and the ghosts leaning against the wall to breathe, he felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Are you really here to save us? It's not going to kill me, is it? ”

Klose sadly discovers that these people seem to have been imprisoned for too long! They have all somewhat forgotten what free air smells like. In the face of sudden freedom, it seems to be timid.

Klose smiled, trying to keep his tone as calm as he could.

"It's true, you're free! Oh yes, I want to ask if any of you have a son of the old Bills? ”

When the man heard the name Old Bill, the expression on his face changed significantly.

He excitedly held out a finger and pointed it at himself.

"I... I am! My name is Ian, and they all call my father Old Bill! I also have a younger brother named Little Bill! ”

Klose clapped his hands and pointed at him, "It's you!" We stayed in your room, and thanks to your family, we didn't end up on the streets. ”

At this moment, the man finally let go of his worries and completely moved his body out of the door.

Klose saw that he was wearing an apron, his hands were black and he didn't know what was stained, and his unkempt hair was tangled together and he didn't know how long it hadn't been washed.

But just by looking at his appearance, he is really seven or eight points similar to that family.

Ian was a little overwhelmed by the excitement, and he stood there not knowing what to say. In the end, it was Klose who reminded him that there were people like you in that room?

Ian reacted then, and he turned around and went into the room, where he soon brought out four more men dressed like him.

The expressions of these people are surprisingly consistent, that is, confused, confused, and overwhelmed.

Klose watched their reactions and suddenly remembered a scene from the movie "The Shawshank Redemption".

Those who have been in prison for too long have been unable to adapt to the world outside the walls.

And these people in front of him are so similar to those prisoners in the movie!

Suddenly, an idea popped up at Klose, and he asked, "You all know alchemy?" ”

The other four didn't answer, just looked around in a daze. Only Ian nodded and said, "Yes sir!" It is also because we know alchemy that we have avoided the doom of being gouged out and our tongues cut. ”

Klose asked again, "So you can make half-finished herbs into various pills?" ”

"Yes, sir, most herbs are fine, even if they are scarce, let's study them for a while and figure out how to use them."

Klose nodded: "These companions of yours, do they still have families?" Do they have a place to go? ”

Ian shook his head silently, "As far as I know, sir..... Most of the people who have been captured here will usually choose to kill their families in order to make sure they have no worries...."

Klose gritted his teeth and cursed, "Brute." ”

But he followed closely to Ian.

The latter seemed to sense what he wanted to ask, so he forced a smile and said, "I am different from them, my alchemy is even more powerful!" I said that if they dared to do something to my family, I would rather die than choose to work for them. ”

Klose walked over, reached out and patted Ian on the shoulder, saying only two words: "Go home." ”

By the time Klose and the others came out of the warehouse, they found that it was completely dawn.

The old Bill family and many villagers rushed to hear the news.

This mysterious pharmaceutical factory, hidden under the town, can be regarded as completely exposed to people's sight.

Some of the rescued deaf, dumb and blind were taken away by their families, while many more were unclaimed.

That's a bit of a headache! Because it is no longer possible for them to live like normal people, and if they are left alone, it is no different from killing them.

Klose counted, there are 10 such people, and how to deal with them has become the biggest headache now.

"Anyway... Let's take it back to Bill's house first. ”

....

Pumpkin Town, the mayor's house.

"What!? That underground pharmaceutical factory was destroyed? Damn it.... These abominable mercenaries..."

Mayor Blicek swung his fat fist in the air as if he were beating up the Kloses.

"Uh... Mayor Mare... If we can't get the 'devil's elixir' for this quarter, that one adult won't give up..."

"I know! I know! You don't need to remind me! ”

Mayor Blicek shook his fist and roared at his men.

"How many of my guards are there now?"

He asked suddenly.

"Huh? ... Probably... About thirty people. ”

Blicek slapped himself on the head with his fat hand, and instantly gave up the idea of killing people.

The reason is very simple, even that terrible Scarface and ghost guy couldn't stop those mercenaries, so what can these thirty or so waste people under his command who can only drink and fart?

"Prepare pen and paper... I'm going to write a letter to that adult! We should not bear the burden of such an outcome! Let's just say.... It's the ghosts who have defected! Hey, hey, hey~"
