Chapter 1377 (Too Deceptive)
Chapter 1377 (Too Deceptive)
"Yes, our emperor despises spies the most, so this time the execution will take place in the execution ground."
"Execution ground?" Long Aotian curiously asked.
The waiter seemed excited, almost spraying out saliva, "You guys must not know about the execution ground. It's a magnificent place and the most outstanding design in the Voidless Empire, specifically designed for those who don't value their lives. However, the execution ground has been closed for a long time, almost ten years!"
"Thinking about the scenes and atmosphere of those executed in the past, it's unforgettable for a lifetime. Living here is truly a blessing earned through several lifetimes of cultivation."
Looking at the waiter's exaggerated expression, everyone felt a bit confused. What was there to enjoy about a place where people were executed?
Indeed, an execution ground was not a pleasant sight, but a mass execution might be a different story.
"Although there are only four young people this time, it's the first time in many years. Everyone will still go to watch. Tickets will be sold soon. You have to hurry to queue up, or you won't have money to buy scalped tickets. Damn scalpers, I curse them for living a tragic life!"
Everyone sighed inwardly. The curse from this guy was truly malicious.
Chang Qing asked in confusion, "Young man, when will it take place? Where can we buy tickets?"
"They will start selling tickets in the afternoon, and the execution will happen at night. The population of the Voidless Empire is increasing, so it's getting troublesome. In the past, it used to be free to watch. Sigh... even such an excellent empire has its troubles." The waiter smiled and then left the room.
After the waiter left, Chang Qing and the others looked grave.
Time was too tight!
They were going to execute tonight! This empire was too dark!
They were making it difficult for four kids. This wasn't humane! No wonder they allowed different races to live here; it made sense.
"Dean, what do we do? They don't give us any time to prepare! It's going to be executed tonight!" Chang Qing and Chang Hen exchanged glances, seeming to have made a decision.
Since it was at night, there was only one way – raid the execution ground!
They seemed to have made up their minds. Chang Hen calmed down and said, "Tonight! We must rescue the children! Plans have changed; we'll directly raid the execution ground and create a bloody path for the kids!"
"This is the only way!" Chang Qing said solemnly. It was an unfortunate choice, but they had no better options.
Qi Xuewen appeared calm. With their strength, they could definitely confront the Voidless Realm!
They seemed to be worrying too much.
Jiu Ye's face remained heavy, making Long Aotian curious. "Jiu Ye, why do you look so bad?"
Given the circumstances, could his expression be anything but grim?
"Aotian, this matter is not as simple as we imagine. If possible, escape." Jiu Ye gave the most sensible advice. Although Qi Xuewen had treated them well, this was clearly a trap, and they were heading straight into it. It was like lighting a lamp in a toilet.
Long Aotian, being a man of loyalty, couldn't consider running away. Qi Xuewen had saved his family, and the debt needed to be repaid. But Jiu Ye's advice lingered in his mind, indicating that things were not as straightforward as they seemed.
Since they had decided, they went to queue up to buy tickets.
The group thought that queuing up should be fine, so whether they went early or late, it would be the same. However, looking at the seemingly endless line, Chang Qing and Chang Hen felt... it was really long and annoying.
"Should we buy from someone else's hands? How long do we have to wait in this line?" one person suggested.
This suggestion was unanimously accepted, truly a good idea.
Seeing a young man happily coming over after buying a ticket, one of them walked up and said, "Young man, do you want to sell your ticket?"
"No."
"Uh... Is your answer too quick? Do you need to think about it again?"
"No."
"A thousand gold coins."
"Are you crazy? Go take your medicine." The young man walked away, truly arrogant. At least they realised that in the Voidless Empire, not only the empire was arrogant, but even the people living there were also arrogant.
"Offer more. Are we people who lack money? We're buying time with money," Chang Hen said in a low voice. If someone refuses to sell for a thousand gold coins, add some more. If you add a hundred gold coins, maybe the person will be tempted.
"Yes, Master!"
Soon, a child licking a lollipop approached. Judging by his appearance, he seemed easy to fool.
"Little friend, do you want to sell the ticket in your hand?"
"Sell it?" The child innocently said.
Sure enough, hearing the word "sell," everyone was ecstatic. Finally, they encountered someone who liked money.
"Then, little friend, how much do you want for the ticket?"
"Uncle, not for gold coins."
"Huh? Not for gold coins? Then what are you selling it for?"
"Trade. Just use the best thing on your body to trade."
Oh my, this little friend was really cunning.
They decided to directly take out the worst long sword, although it was the worst, it sparkled, obviously a high-end item.
"Little friend, how about this?"
"You dare to bring out such a shabby thing. Goodbye."
Everyone: "..."
"Wait, wait..."
"What about this one?"
"Pretty good."
"And this one?"
"Almost it."
“What about this one?”
The child's eyes lit up, "This one is nice too, I'll trade."
"I'll trade your sister!"
"Wuwuwu... bullying me..." The child, feeling bullied, wiped away tears and ran off.
One person exclaimed, "Who's bullying whom?"
"Exactly, I just don't believe it. Is there really no one here who likes money?"
After an hour of inquiries, the group discovered a problem - people in this empire really didn't seem to like money.
They only wanted to trade, and if possible, were they all actors? Was everything prearranged?
Well, let's just go back to queuing!
However, when they reached the entrance, they were told that the tickets were sold out!
The faces of the group turned extremely gloomy, and they really wanted to raze this place to the ground!
But thinking about the consequences and the lives of the children at stake, they endured it. They vowed never to come back to this accursed place.
"Dean, what do we do now?"
Chang Qing's face was serious, clearly maintaining composure. After a long sigh, he said, "Let's just exchange."
"Dean!"
"Dean!"
"Exchange! We must exchange!"
"Oh, Dean..."
This scene was truly tear-inducing, so touching...
Since the decision was made, they would proceed with the exchange!
