Natural black penetrates into infinite flow

The gloves are large and rough in shape, and they seem to be used by men.

Xia Mingchi understood right away - the young lady had a tryst with her lover.

The Duchess pushed the young lady away suddenly, pointed at her nose and said angrily: "How can a famous lady do such a thing?! You are shameless, I want shame!!!"

Miss Fisher burst into tears, "No, Mother, is this mine...it's...Anne's!"

Annie didn't expect that the young lady would push it to herself, and knelt on the ground with a plop, trembling all over, and her voice was crying.

"Ma'am! This, this is not mine..."

"Oh," the lady wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, then turned around and gave Annie a crisp slap on the face.

Annie was beaten so dizzy that she fell heavily to the ground, her face swelled instantly, and the corners of her mouth were split open.

I really didn't expect that Miss Jiao, who is usually soft and weak, would be so strong and merciless when fighting someone.

"Steal the man yourself, and hide the things with me, let Miss Ben hide it for you!"

"I warned you not to have an affair with Robert the milkman. The mansion has strict rules, but you didn't listen!"

Ms. Fisher was aggressive, she would tell lies, she didn't give Annie a chance to defend herself, she not only spoke clearly, but also arranged a husband for Annie very carefully.

"For your brother... think about it!" The young lady grabbed Anne's hair, domineering.

The last sentence is clearly using Annie's younger brother as a threat to force her to take the blame for herself.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Annie knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

After crying for a while, the little maid should have thought clearly, wiped her face with her hand, and took the pot.

"Yes, it's mine..."

Obviously it was framed, and with the shrewdness of the Duchess, she should be able to see it.

However, the Duchess chose to believe her daughter. She was furious, her voice was harsh, and she pointed at Anne and cursed.

"Leaving such a dishonest thing like you with the young lady is not trying to spoil the young lady?! Pull me down, give me twenty whips, and lock me to the basement of the east side building!"

A few strong servants walked in from the outside, picked Annie up from the ground, and dragged her out like an animal.

Annie cried her heart out, and shouted loudly: "Ma'am, I was wrong! Please forgive me! Miss... I beg you to intercede for me!"

The young lady didn't dare to breathe, and slowly gathered the handkerchief into her hands.

The Duchess said to Xia Mingchi: "The butler is very strict...No one is allowed to visit Annie without my permission!"

Xia Mingchi said, "Yes."

The breeze blows, and the aroma of roses is blown into the room.

Miss Fisher sobbed a few more times, and suddenly began to gasp for breath, her face flushed, and her skin began to appear red rashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.Jin hurriedly supported the young lady, and the duchess got up from the sofa as if she had been electrocuted, and came to her daughter in three steps at a time.

Duchess: "Quick! Go and call Louis! Just say that the lady is sick!"

Louis rushed over quickly, and he injected the young lady with some kind of drug. Miss Fisher returned to normal and rested in the room.

She was weak and needed rest, and the Duchess said nothing more, and the matter passed.

When Xia Mingchi sent the lady back to her room, she made a special inspection and did not see the red-haired doll in the lady's room.Didn't the Duke buy that thing for his daughter?

Day three.

The Duchess asked Xia Mingchi to deliver some food to Annie.

"After all, she grew up with the young lady, so don't expect any accidents," said the Duchess mercifully.

Xia Mingchi asked: "Aren't you considering releasing Annie directly?"

"I can't let it go. She has a problem with her life style, so she absolutely can't stay in the mansion. I'll talk about it after I figure out how to arrange it."

[Task [-]: Deliver food to Annie. 】

A wooden box and an oil lamp appeared before Xia Mingchi's eyes. Inside the wooden box were a few pieces of bread and a bottle of milk.He remembered that Annie was locked in the basement of the east side building, walking towards the wing through the blooming roses.

This building is smaller than the auxiliary building, and Xia Mingchi has never seen anyone enter or leave this building.The door of the building was locked, and even he, the big housekeeper, didn't have a key.

At this time, there were no servants in the huge mansion courtyard, and amidst the fragrance of roses, there were only a few crows calling.The scenery is both beautiful and decadent.

[The basement must be entered from the outside of the building. Only the housekeeper has the key to the door of the basement, and the housekeeper never leaves. 】

Xia Mingchi opened the wooden door and walked down carrying food and oil lamps.

The passage is very narrow, two people will be crowded side by side, and the ceiling is so low that you can reach it with your hands.There are several exhaust fans above, but the outside of the fan blades are blocked by wildly growing rose bushes, the air can circulate, and it is difficult for light to shine in.

The passage was downhill, and there was an oil lamp hanging on the wall at the end, but the lighting range was limited, and the middle part of the corridor could not be seen.

Xia Mingchi first let his eyes get used to the brightness, and walked slowly into the depths.

The floor was sticky, as if something hadn't been wiped clean.

After turning the corner, there was another long corridor. There was a man standing at the other end of the corridor. The man was tall and strong, and he was wearing armor. It should not be Annie.

"Hello!" Xia Mingchi called out.

The other party didn't respond, and didn't move.

This kind of dark and cramped space can easily make people feel claustrophobic and suffocating.

Xia Mingchi slowed down. In addition to hearing his own heartbeat, he could also hear the second person's heavy breathing and painful groans.

That's right, the one at the end of the corridor.

Xia Ming walked in a little later, and finally saw clearly that it wasn't armor or anything like that, but—Iron Maiden.

Some kind of European torture tool, made in the shape of a figurine, with barbs inside.Shut people in, and then close the door, and the barbs will penetrate into the body, piercing into thousands of holes.

Moreover, this kind of thing has excellent sealing performance, and usually blood will not leak out of it.Therefore, opening the skin of the Iron Maiden, in addition to reaping a rotten body, there is also blood pouring down.

Xia Mingchi had read relevant information on the Internet before. It is said that people who use torture tools usually think it is troublesome to clean up afterward. They will install holes and meat grinders below to let the corpses leak down. After being broken, they are directly discharged into the river.

Tick, tick.

The sound of liquid dripping was amplified in the metal cavity, it should be blood.Usually, blood will flow profusely after being pierced, but this intermittent sound can only indicate that the blood is draining quickly.

Too cruel.

From the tone of the duchess, it should be that she wants to let Anne go, and taking the blame for the lady won't end up like this, right?Didn't it say twenty lashes at that time?

Xia Mingchi stretched out his hand and placed it on the iron maid/female's face.

Not Annie, not Annie, not Annie.

He said three times silently in his heart, unwilling to see the cruel scene.

The iron sheet on the face was opened, and it turned out to be a middle-aged man with gray hair, closed eyes, and pale lips.

"It hurts..." As if realizing that someone was coming, the man spat out the last word with all his strength, and blood gushed out of his mouth.

[He is Robert the dairyman. 】

Robert?Isn't he the "husband" Miss found for Annie? !

But judging from his age, he could be Anne's father.The flamboyant girl had an affair with the old man, and the lies that the young lady lied about in a panic were really ridiculous.

"Help...Miss..." A faint call for help came from the side, and Xia Mingchi noticed that there was another room on the side of the corridor.In the corner between the room and the Iron Maiden, a few bags of sand for flood control were thrown randomly.

【Annie was locked up here after she was beaten. 】

Xia Mingchi took off the key from his waist, tried one by one, and successfully opened the iron door.

Straw mats were spread messily on the cold and damp floor, and Annie lay face down on the straw mats, her body shrouded in a cloud of black mist.

The girl's back was beaten to pieces, and the broken clothes even stuck to the wound.

Huge rats squeaked as they ran past the girl's feet.

However, what made Xia Mingchi even more incomprehensible was that there were several bouquets of roses scattered beside the girl, as well as some food crumbs.

Has anyone visited her?Didn't it mean that no one should come near? Could it be a young lady?

The black mist passed through Annie's wound and slowly penetrated into her body.After the black mist completely disappeared, the girl raised her head abruptly, her brown pupils gradually disappeared and completely merged with the whites of her eyes.

"Annie?" Xia Mingchi put down the things in his hands and called her softly.

Annie opened her mouth, bared her fangs, and rushed towards Xia Mingchi.Xia Mingchi maintained the vigilance he had when he was a cat, and jumped to the other side to avoid the attack.

"Boom!" Annie's head hit the wall and her head was bleeding, but the girl didn't respond to pain at all.

The task is to deliver food to Annie, now that the food has been delivered, you should be able to leave, right?

Xia Mingchi went to touch the iron door, but found that it couldn't be opened at all.

[Do not leave until the mission is over. 】

not complete? ? ?

【Annie wants to return to her original state and eat what you gave her. 】

Restoring it to its original state...it's a bit difficult.

Annie staggered and turned around, like a zombie, she rushed towards Xia Mingchi again.

Xia Mingchi splashed the milk at Annie's eyes, and gave the girl half a bottle back.

"I wasted food! What a crime!" Xia Mingchi was annoyed.

In fact, he can fight, but the dirty things are attached to the little maid, and Annie's situation is very pitiful, Xia Mingchi really can't do it.

What's more, the black mist is afraid that physical attacks cannot solve it.

Xia Mingchi thought about the smoke on his body, and the warning from the little match head - smoking is harmful to health.

While Annie was wiping her eyes, he found a cigarette and a match, and after lighting it, the white smoke tied Annie up like a strip of white satin, and then floated in from her nostrils.

Black mist flew out from the wound on the girl's back and left through the observation window on the door.

Xia Mingchi turned his head, only to find that there were many people on the observation window—big heads, like a funnel, with thinning hair and almost lost teeth.

"Ah?!" The man came back to his senses, and let go of the fence on the observation window.

Xia Mingchi heard the sound of landing, it seemed that the other party was short in stature, and he couldn't see the room without holding on to the fence.

Then there was a series of running sounds, the frequency was very fast.

Xia Mingchi couldn't care less about chasing him out, the task was to deliver food, try not to cause complications.

He lifted Annie up from the ground, and the little maid's eyes turned back to brown pupils, and her fangs were gone.

"Why are you here..." Annie supported the cold ground with her arms and raised her head.Her lips were dry and her voice was quite hoarse.

"I'm here to bring you food."

Xia Mingchi took out the bread and milk.

When Annie heard that there was something to eat, she forced herself to sit up, took the bread and bit it into mouthfuls, choking on the milk while drinking.

"Slow down." Xia Mingchi said, took off his coat and put it on Annie.

The basement was too cold, and Annie was seriously injured again.

Annie said while eating: "Thank you for sending me food and flowers every day."

"me?"

Xia Mingchi pointed to himself and asked again.

"you sure?"
