In the dungeon where you couldn't even see your fingers, rustling sobs could be heard continuously, and the air was filled with a damp smell, with a smell similar to that of cheese.

Li Shanren, who had been lying on the cold iron plate all night, opened his eyes with some discomfort and sat up with his palms on the ground.

"It seems I haven't gone to the junction. Where is this place? Why can't I see anything?"

Li Shanren first rubbed the back of his head, then stretched out his hands to grope around. Soon, he touched the steel-like floor, as well as the iron railings erected half a meter away, and there were also iron railings not far above his head. An iron plate blocked him from standing up.

"Am I... locked in a cage?"

Li Shanren's face darkened, and then he thought of something again, and his hands kept groping around his body.

"The stargazing stick is gone, and the money bag is gone too! Damn it, there is only a little change in it, do you want to take all this away?!"

Fortunately, most of the money was left in the hotel, otherwise it would have been siphoned off.

Compared with the loss of the stargazing stick, Li Shanren still cared more about his small money.

The stargazing wand is a magic wand from the borderland. The magic pyroxene inlaid on the top determines that it can only use the magic of the borderland and is incompatible with the magic of this world. Therefore, even if someone else takes it away, it can only be used as a magic wand. An ordinary walking stick.

Moreover, the stargazing staff was only the most basic entry-level staff. Li Shanren had long planned to replace it. It was not too distressing to have it taken away. It just left him without a tool for casting spells.

It just means that he can no longer cast magic...

It just makes his 18 points of intelligence and only two magic spells useless...

It's just that he is trapped here with nothing to do...

"Don't feel sorry for me! The stargazing staff is very important! I only have this staff. Without it, what difference would I make to an ordinary person?!"

Li Shanren grabbed the iron railing and shook it desperately, but unfortunately the iron cage was motionless and as solid as a rock, which his poor "7" points of strength could not shake.

At this time, the disadvantages of choosing the mage path are revealed. Without the staff, you are nothing. If you take the warrior path, you might be able to try bending iron railings with your bare hands.

Gan!

Li Shanren was helpless and furious for a while, reflecting his humble efforts and struggles to regain freedom, and finally slumped on the railing with a look of despair.

I was so careless. I was really so careless. I was caught like this. I am still not suitable for living in a different world...

Li Shanren sighed with dull eyes, ready to resign himself to his fate, hoping that the person or people who captured him would give him a good time.

Then... wait for him to come back with severe revenge next time.

This is the confidence and narrow-mindedness of being a player.

Li Shanren thought wildly for a while. When he calmed down slightly, the intermittent sobbing around him finally caught his attention.

Is there anyone else here? Could it be that......

Li Shanren frowned and shouted tentatively: "Alice? Alice, are you here? Do you still remember me? Alice?"

After being separated for so many days, he wasn't sure if Alice still remembered him. After all, the little girl didn't even know his name.

The space here didn't seem to be big. Although Li Shanren didn't shout with all his strength, his voice still echoed quickly, suppressing the cries, and even made them disappear one after another, as if they had never existed.

The surroundings gradually became quiet as the echoes of the shouts dispersed, and there was no longer any sound, or rather...they did not dare to make any sound.

"Squeak..."

There was a heartbreaking sound of pushing the door open, and Li Shanren squinted his eyes. A rectangular gap suddenly appeared in front of him, and dim yellow light seeped in from there, slightly illuminating the extremely dark dungeon.

A tall and thin figure walked in slowly, holding an oil lamp in his hand.

The man slowly came to Li Shanren's iron cage, raised the oil lamp, and illuminated the iron cage, which also reflected his wrinkled face and bald head.

It's the bald old man.

"woke up?"

The bald old man looked down at Li Shanren, who was slumped on the edge of the railing. Under the firelight, the old man's bark-like face looked particularly ferocious, like an evil ghost crawling out of hell.

Looking at the bald old man with a cold breath, Li Shanren couldn't help but feel a little fear in his heart. As a timid player who doesn't even dare to play horror games, facing the current scene, he will inevitably have some fear, especially Now that the stargazing stick is not in his hand, he doesn't even have the ability to resist.

"who are you?"

Li Shanren asked calmly. He turned his head slightly and looked to the left. Under the light of the oil lamp, he could vaguely see the iron cage extending all the way over there. There was basically a thin figure in the cage. Squirming slightly.

"Why are so many people arrested?"

"I should be the one to ask you first."

The bald old man squatted down expressionlessly, staring at Li Shanren's face with his bloodshot eyes.

"Who are you? What's the purpose of breaking in here? And... why do you look so similar to a beggar who died here a few days ago? You'd better answer these questions Answered clearly one by one."

As the bald old man asked questions, a powerful pressure gradually came, forcing Li Shanren to break out in cold sweat, as if there was a ferocious tiger squatting in front of him.

Did I die here a few days ago? !

Hearing this, Li Shanren was slightly shocked, but there was no obvious emotion on his face.

"I'm just an enthusiastic magician investigating the case of missing children. As for the beggar you mentioned who looks like me, I don't know what you are talking about? Does he have anything to do with me?"

He answered without changing his expression, turned his gaze, and glanced at the iron cage on his left. Under the dim yellow light, he could vaguely see a small figure wearing an ice blue dress lying there, completely naked. movement.

Could that be Alice?

Li Shanren's heart tightened.

"What are you looking at?"

The bald old man narrowed his eyes and moved the oil lamp slightly over, illuminating the iron cage.

The little figure in the iron cage seems to be a girl. Her face cannot be seen clearly, but it is obvious that she has beautiful silver-gray curly hair.

"That girl hasn't eaten for many days and should be dying now."

The bald old man glanced over there and said without emotion, then looked back at Li Shanren with indifferent eyes.

"You seem to care about her?"

"You know her?"

"She is the one who... was sent here by a beggar who looks very similar to you. It seems that both of you know her... Is this really such a coincidence?"

"So, you were lying just now. What is your relationship with that beggar?"

Facing the series of words just now, Li Shanren only caught the message "that girl is dying" and heard nothing else.

At this time, he was so distraught that he did not expect that his so-called "goodwill" at that time actually pushed Alice into the abyss of death. The girl he had only known for a day but who was inexplicably dependent on him was walking toward death. All because of his one thought at that time.
