Chapter 93 God’s Grace (27)

"They are just a bunch of slave owners."

Altai continued to be indignant: "In order to maintain their supremacy, they continue to squeeze and exploit us. Even the frail and sick old people or young and ignorant children are the targets of their whipping and humiliation. We are simply not human beings, no, not even Worse than animals!"

The anger in his brows and eyes was burning, and Bai Xi and Sicheng felt very uncomfortable hearing this. They could imagine how horrific and inhumane the slavery system in ancient Europe was, and their eyes showed helplessness and sympathy.But in comparison, Xia Lingge and Shen Yu were much calmer.

Xia Lingge pinched the black steamed bun in her hand, broke it into several small pieces like Altai, and put one piece in her mouth, feeling like she was biting into a mixture of sand and stone.

Shen Yu held the back of his head with both hands, shaking the wooden chair and making a creaking sound: "How did they abuse you?"

His tone was full of interest and playfulness, which sounded like a question to Altai's ears. Altai stood up and picked up the torch hanging on the wall, "You will know after you come and take a look."

Dark corridors extended in all directions, and they followed Altai through the narrow caves until they reached another cave dwelling with a faint light.

A strong smell exuding a fishy smell hit his face. The old, weak, sick and disabled people with sallow faces and skinny muscles huddled together in the cave dwellings. Their bodies were only wrapped with tattered coarse cloth strips, and their dry hair fell down to cover half of their faces. Horribly empty.

Altai inserted the torch in his hand into the stone trough, squatted down and whispered softly to the little girl curled up in her mother's arms: "How are you doing? Does your body still hurt?"

The little girl shook her head timidly.

By the light of the fire, Xia Lingge, Si Cheng, Shen Yu and Bai Xi could clearly see the ferocious whip marks on the little girl's body.

"They were beaten by the guys in the temple." Altai explained. "Just because Anna was accidentally pushed into the parade aisle by the crowd during the Festival of Gods, she was whipped more than a dozen times for saying she was 'colliding with the gods.' "

"The little one almost didn't make it."

The girl's mother hugged the girl tighter, and Altai clenched his hands into fists and cast his eyes on the person lying upright not far away.

"And him." Altai said, "How old do you think he is this year?"

When Xia Lingge and the others looked around, they saw that his skin was shriveled and thin, leaving only skin and bones, his eye sockets were sunken, and his hair was white. "He looks like he is in his early forties no matter what."

Altai shook his head with a wry smile: "He is only 21 this year. He was originally a young and strong boy, but because he repeatedly stood up for the elderly and weak compatriots and angered the people in the temple, he was not given food or drink and was hung to a pillar and forced to death. I was screaming for three days. I couldn’t move after I came back.”

Xia Lingge looked at the man who had lost his spirit here, raised his eyes and asked him: "After talking so much, what do you want to express?"

Altai's eyes paused, and he turned back and said: "Don't disturb their rest, let's talk after we go out." Returning to the corridor, he stopped and said to them, "You are all first-class warriors, and I won't beat around the bush when I say something. Now, I hope you can join us to overthrow the fallacy that 'gods dominate the universe' and give the real world and real people a stable and peaceful home."

[Trigger hidden mission: explore the truth of the world]

[Completion Reward: Rebel Clues × 1]

The system's prompt sound echoed in each of their minds. This was the first time in such a long time that the system had released news about the main mission.

"can."

Xia Lingge, Sicheng, Shen Yu and Bai Xi all responded. Altai's face was filled with joy. He was so excited that he wanted to give everyone a hug.

Xia Lingge dodged unceremoniously, and Bai Xi declined politely. Altai could only catch Sicheng and Shen Yu to express his indescribable joy and enthusiasm, "Welcome to join you." He opened his arms, "Don't worry. , We will not be stingy with warriors. It’s just your clothes..." They are still wearing the white robes brought from the temple, which can be said to be hated here. Xia Lingge took off the white robes , but did not submit it to Altai: "Since we are overthrowing God, it may be possible to sneak into the temple in the future. I will keep this white robe myself so that it will not be discovered, so I won't bother you."

After hearing what she said, the others also put away their white robes.

Altai retracted his hand that wanted to take the thing, "Okay then." He smiled, "You have your own ideas, and I respect them. Now, let's talk about this ridiculous world..."

Before the voice could finish, footsteps could be heard not far away.

It was daybreak, and for them it was the time of slavery.

Altai sighed: "You guys rest here first and don't go out. We will communicate after we get through the day."

After saying that, he followed the person who came to report out of the cellar.

The cave became quiet, with only the crackling flames burning. Xia Lingge tore off a few strips of cloth from her neat clothes, put them on the ground, rubbed them with some ashes, and then wrapped them around her body.

"Senior sister, what are you doing?" Sicheng was puzzled.

Xia Lingge replied: "You must look like a certain type of person if you join. If you walk around here dressed neatly, even if you are not a member of the temple, you will inevitably not be ostracized."

Sicheng and Bai Xi thought it made sense, so they imitated her and tore their clothes.

"I say, you are too into the drama." Shen Yu crossed his knees and leaned against the wall lazily and said, "It's just a group of NPCs. Even if they are excluded, won't the game give clues?"

He lowered his peaked cap, turned around and walked out.

"What are you going to do?" Bai Xi asked him.

"Looking for the truth." Shen Yu didn't look back and just raised his hand and waved, "Compared to you speedsters, I still prefer to be straightforward."

Bai Xi pursed her lips and said nothing.

Xia Lingge turned her head and asked her, "Is he so lacking in filming in real life?"

Bai Xi shook his head: "He often walks alone, and I don't know very well."

After she finished speaking, she paused, and Xia Lingge nodded in understanding.

"Senior, where are you going?" Si Cheng asked her.

Xia Lingge took off the torch stuck on the wall and walked deeper into the corridor: "Complete the mission."

"Can you find anything here?" The dark cave dwelling is like an abandoned child, with no light or warmth. What can there be in such a dilapidated and useless place?
Xia Lingge still walked deeper: "No matter how dilapidated it is, it is still a corner of the world, and it is dark, making it easier to bury the truth."

The corridor without someone leading it was like a maze that would never end. Xia Lingge picked up a small stone and gently drew marks on the wall with sharp edges. They bypassed many repeated roads and came to a deep and dark road. In front of the tunnel of the abyss.
