Bai Chu and Xue Nu walked down the stairs and entered the underground passage. The passage was very low and narrow, about 1.7 meters high. Bai Chu had to lower his head and slightly turn his body to walk in the passage.

There was a torch every ten steps on the wall of the passage. The light of the torch was weak, and from time to time, greasy white fuel oil dripped onto the ground. In order to avoid being contaminated by these unknown liquids, Bai Chu had to be extra careful. The total distance of about 100 meters gave Bai Chu a very depressing feeling.

After walking a few more steps, the snow girl in front of them heard the sound of stepping on water. She slowed down and said, "Bai Chu, there's something sticky under my feet, it seems to be..."

Bai Chu took down a torch from the wall and shone it on the ground - it was blood.

The entire passage was a slight downward slope. It became easier to walk towards the end of the passage, but the blood pool became deeper and deeper, gradually flooding over the surface of the shoes.

At the end of the passage, there was a half-open door, with a faint light coming through the door.

"Bai Chu, you go in front." The Snow Girl squeezed in front of Bai Chu and got behind him, making Bai Chu feel very uncomfortable.

"You are the most cowardly monster I have ever seen." Bai Chu said helplessly.

"I'm not a coward!" The Snow Girl's eyes flickered left and right. "You want to meet your old friend, so of course... I have to let you say hello first."

"Okay, then thank you." Bai Chu walked straight forward and pushed open the half-open door without hesitation.

This was the most shocking and most hellish scene Bai Chu had ever seen.

Walking into the secret room behind the door, Bai Chu felt as if he had entered a livestock slaughterhouse. The strong smell of blood instantly hit him in the face, mixed with an inexplicable stench. The dim candlelight reflected the blood-stained walls.

There were many hooks fixed on the ceiling of the secret room, most of which were empty. Two or three young men with their hands and feet tied behind their backs were hung on the hooks with their shoulders pierced, motionless, and their lives or deaths were uncertain.

Looking past the hanging body, not far from the door, there was a figure with his back to Bai Chu and Xue Nu.

The figure stood in front of a long wooden table, on which was placed the body of a man with his eyes rolled back and a hideous look of death. The figure's hands were still busy, with various tools placed beside him: a saw, an axe, a boning knife, a hammer, a chisel...

In the corner of the secret room, there were two vicious dogs with blood-red eyes tied with iron chains. When they saw Bai Chu and Xue Nu suddenly rushing in, they started roaring like crazy, spitting blood from their mouths. In the pool of blood under their feet, a few human fingers could be vaguely seen.

The barking of the vicious dogs seemed to have awakened something in the blood pool. More than ten headless corpses actually sat up in the blood pool. As they crawled up, they rummaged through the blood pool, took out bloody heads one by one, and held them in their arms. More than ten pairs of eyes opened at the same time and looked at Bai Chu. Bai Chu instantly felt a gust of cold wind passing through his heart.

"You guys, it's not like we haven't fed you, why are you always so restless?" The figure said lightly, throwing two arms to the two mad dogs. "We have guests coming today, you guys eat first, and we'll have more food later."

For some reason, Bai Chu felt as if he had seen this person’s voice and silhouette before, but he couldn’t remember who it was.

Suddenly, Bai Chu felt something was wrong behind him and turned around to look. He saw a corpse with its head in its arms standing stiffly outside the door of the secret room. He slowly closed the door. The frightened and desperate face in the corpse's arms and the empty and turbid bloodshot eyes shocked Bai Chu's brain.

"Bai Chu!" The Snow Girl, who had been speechless for a long time, was the first to react. She rushed to the closed door, slapping and bumping it hard, but she couldn't open it. It didn't even move at all.

"Why is there a headless corpse behind us?" Bai Chu felt a chill on his spine as he looked at the closed door, his mind filled with doubts: "Could it have been following us? Impossible... There is no way that there would be no footsteps in such a deep pool of blood. There must be another entrance here."

However, at this moment, this issue is not so important.

"You people from the Styx dimension never know how to leave a way out when you do things. If you lock the door, I won't have to worry about the cockroaches escaping." Bai Chu stepped forward and said, "Turn around and accept my judgment!"

"Only the weak need a way out, and I happen to have the strength to not need one." The figure put down the dissection tools in his hand and slowly turned around. "Originally, I was kind enough to let you live until I finished dealing with this guy, but you seem to be a little ungrateful, so I can only..."

The moment they met, they almost exclaimed at the same time: "Is it you?"

Bai Chu finally recognized the middle-aged man in front of him, whose belly was as fat as if he was three months pregnant, with a conspicuous, greasy, round face and a bald head. He was his life teacher in the Osiris Red Dormitory of Tianhen Duel Academy, Gu Ke.

"I thought it was Su Xing, but it turned out to be you." Gu Ke showed a disappointed expression on his face. "Well, although you are not as attractive to me as Su Xing, you were also on my attention list, so you are considered a smart person..."

Gu Ke licked his lips and said, "I like smart people the most."

Bai Chu sneered and said, "So you are also an undercover agent of the Styx Dimension. I was not very good at seeing you and the prince have such a good relationship before."

“It’s not your fault.” Gu Ke laughed, “I didn’t know him before. It should be said that except for his girlfriend, no one knew that the little prince of the Styx Dimension was an undercover agent in this operation. He was a single-line contact, and I just met that guy not long ago.”

"The locust plague in Wentang County and even the entire Fuhai area is caused by you, right?" Bai Chu's eyes were sharp. "You made a big move locally in order to lure Su Xing out of Zijin City, so that the prince could take action against Qin Zhen and snatch the card of the God of Dimensions."

"Yes, you have been away from Zijin City for a while, right? Maybe the prince and the others have already taken action now, hehehe..." Gu Ke said very frankly.

"Your goal has been achieved, so why are you still staying here? Why are you slaughtering these innocent people?"

"I traveled through mountains and rivers to such a remote place. How can I live with myself if I don't make some money?" Gu Ke said without disguising, "The first thing I did when I came here was to explore the land veins in the south. Finally, I found a rare earth mine in Wentang County. If I mine these things and bring them back to the real world, I can make a fortune.

I brought enough storage equipment, but these ancient people didn't know the value of money. No one was interested in the money on the ground. I offered to recruit miners, but they didn't come. They have been farmers for generations, guarding their own small piece of land. If they stuttered, they were really not interested in money.

So, I found the magistrate of Wentang County and cooperated with him to make some measures to suppress agriculture and deal with these selfish and stupid farmers. If no one was willing to mine for me, who would help me realize my dream of getting rich? Of course, the magistrate was also a well-educated and reasonable person, and he agreed to my request in exchange..."

Bai Chu frowned and asked, "You gave him a lot of silver?"

Gu Ke shook his head. "His family has more money than he can spend in ten lifetimes. He is not interested in money. He is only interested in how to live a hundred years and strengthen his kidneys and body."

Bai Chu's expression suddenly changed.

"What a coincidence! I have a lot of modern organ transplant instruments and solar generators on me, hahahaha." Gu Ke said with great joy. "I just need to steal some strong and healthy men from the mines, take the treasures from them, and give them to the county magistrate. Then my dream of getting rich will come true, right?"

"So you are actually..." Bai Chu said in a grim tone: "You really deserve to die."

"In fact, I have a lot of treasures sealed up and ready to be brought back to the real world. Do you want them?" Gu Ke seemed to be unconcerned about Bai Chu's emotions: "Although you are still young, you are still a modern person with a weak constitution. Think about it, these ancient people who worked all day and were stronger than cows, their livers, hearts, spleens, lungs, and kidneys were much more functional than yours."

"I will use your head to commemorate those you killed."

"It seems you don't appreciate it." Gu Ke's smile gradually froze. "I really don't like your organs, but I said, you are a smart person - I like to drink the brains of smart people the most."
