The Protectorate of Xuan Kingdom. .
Different from any institution in the Xuan Kingdom Empire, this place is not a courtyard or a mansion, but like a village accidentally surrounded by a city. At the south entrance of the village, there is a tilted stone tablet, but the words "Protect the Country" on it are very eye-catching. Behind the stone monument is a street, but the houses on the left and right are of all kinds and eclectic.
People who protect the National Assembly live here. Unlike other institutions in the empire, they don't have as many daily chores. There is almost no need for the entire Protectorate to move. This makes the daily life of the Protectorate seem full of fireworks. Without the stone monument at the south entrance, it really looks like an ordinary living area. Only those who know the Protectorate know what kind of world is behind that stone monument.
When Su Tang was brought here, he was a little surprised by the appearance of the Protectorate.
She is not Lu Ping. She doesn't know what's going on outside the window and just studies her body-locking customization. She spent three years in Zhaofeng Academy as a normal student. Who among the colleges under the jurisdiction of the Xuanjun Empire does not know about the Protectorate, the strongest organization in the Xuan Kingdom? In the eyes of the young people, the big figures in charge of the major centers have noble status and profound backgrounds. They are too far away from them. It is difficult for them to reach such heights with just their passion and hard work. But the Protectorate is different. If you have the strength, you have the opportunity to join the Protectorate. In the eyes of teenagers, what the Protectorate does is much cooler than those politicians. The Protectorate has always been the place they most yearn for.
If they were allowed to see that the real Protectorate is just like this, I'm afraid they would be very disappointed, right?
Su Tang, who was brought into the Protectorate, did not panic. Instead, he thought of his friends from the Wind-Zhaing Academy in the past. He must have never imagined that the Protectorate was not as dazzling and brilliant as they thought.
A sharp pain suddenly came from her scalp. The inspector of the Hospital Supervisory Committee who was escorting her behind her tore Su Tang's hair and turned her face forward.
A tall man in black robe stood condescendingly in front, glancing at Su Tang up and down with a look of disgust. The power flowing out of his eyes seemed to strip the person naked.
"Three Souls Penetrating? Why did you bring such garbage?" he said impatiently.
"This is what the Yard Supervisory Committee and Lord Xing have communicated." The people who sent Su Tang over were from the Yard Supervisory Committee, not the Protectorate. At this time, they stopped outside the stone monument and spoke respectfully to the people in front of them.
They actually don't know who the man in front of them is, but they can't afford to offend anyone in the Protectorate, and they always know this. They just said what they were told to say.
When the tall man heard the words "Master Xing", although his face was still impatient, he no longer had any objections.
"Give it to me." He said, raising his hand and snatching it away from Su Tang. Left without saying a word.
Su Tang's hands and feet were shackled. These were not ordinary instruments of torture, but props that limited the power of her soul. Otherwise, with her divine power, no mortal object could imprison her. Su Tang, whose soul power was restricted, was completely unable to keep up with the man's wide and fast pace, and was soon dragged to the ground, completely dragged along.
She was dragged through an entire street like this. Many people saw it, but they didn't take it seriously at all. No one even came up to gossip about it, as if this was a normal occurrence every day.
At the end of the street, a hole suddenly appeared on the bare ground, oozing with cold air and bottomless. The tall man threw Su Tang casually.
"From the Hospital Supervisory Committee." He shouted, not knowing who he was referring to, and left without looking back. After a few seconds, a muffled sound came from the depths of the black hole.
I was in severe pain all over my body, but it was nothing compared to the torture I had endured these days. In order to obtain the so-called stolen secrets, the Hospital Supervisory Committee has exhausted all means. Don't say that Su Tang didn't know, even if she knew, she would never say anything. What did everything she suffered compared to Lu Ping before?
The ground is deep, cold and damp. The hole above became very far away, like a small window, which reminded Su Tang of his days in the organization.
She is not an experimental subject who is treated as strictly as Lu Ping. She is relatively free and even needs to do a lot of chores on weekdays. But the final residence was no different from the road, with only a tiny air hole that allowed them to see the sky outside.
She yearned for the outside world as much as Lu Ping, and cherished it as much as Lu Ping did after she came out.
At any time, as long as she is alive, she will not give up.
After glancing at the hole above, she began to feel around. The shackles on her hands and feet limited the power she could use. She raised her hands and tried to feel around. But someone grabbed her ankle and was dragged away again in the blink of an eye. This time, she fell into complete darkness.
She found a force of soul sweeping over her body, and seemed to sense it.
"You've worked hard. What do the hospital supervisors want to know from you?" A voice came from the darkness. It was the one holding her ankle. The voice sounded quite gentle.
Su Tang didn't answer. It seemed that the man just said it casually and didn't mean to know anything. He just continued to drag Su Tang, walking in this darkness. I don't know what he was capable of, but he was walking smoothly in this darkness.
After a while, he stopped and the sound of heavy metal scraping against the ground was heard. Then Su Tang was dragged a few more steps and finally let go.
"It doesn't seem necessary." The voice muttered to itself, and then got closer to Su Tang.
"Pray." He said, his voice was low and kind, and he sounded like he cared about Su Tang.
"What are you praying for?" Su Tang couldn't help but ask.
"Pray to leave soon, even if you die, you will be much happier." The voice said.
"I want to live." Facing the boundless darkness, Su Tang said firmly.
"You will change your mind." The voice said and backed away, and the sound of heavy metal friction sounded again, presumably because the cell door was being closed.
It was dark and silent, but Su Tang was not alone. She had no idea how big a space she was in or what was around her.
"Is anyone there?" she asked.
no respond.
She stood up with difficulty, dragged the heavy chain forward a few steps, and then touched the cold stone wall. Touching the stone wall, she walked around. It was a very small cell, five steps long and five steps wide, with no one but her.
Su Tang sat in the corner, feeling very calm.
As she said, she wanted to live.
This should be the prison of the Protectorate, right? It is said to be a place where the most powerful and vicious people are imprisoned. Is my strength enough to qualify for this?
Probably not. There is nothing I can do if I am locked up in the Supervisory Committee, so why would I need the Protectorate Council to take care of me?
But she was taken away from the Academy Supervisory Committee, sent to the Protectorate, and even sent to this prison.
Why?
The moment she was handed over to the Protectorate Council by the Hospital Supervisory Committee, she was already thinking about it.
She has no ability to escape, so the only thing that can strengthen her guard is external force. Who would be the external force that would make even the Xuanjun Academy Supervisory Committee feel pressured for her? The answer is simply too simple.
Lu Ping is here.
In the darkness, Su Tang smiled.
