Chapter 223

"Hmm?"

Su Yang examined it carefully and found that this hand bone was surprisingly clean.

No tissue or bloodstains were left behind.

It was like a part from a "cadaver teacher" that had been cleaned.

"What is this place for?" Su Yang couldn't help but wonder.

"Su Yang!"

At this moment, Qin Weiyang called out.

He looked up, his pupils suddenly contracting.

He saw that the ground of the narrow passage was full of bones, including many skulls the size of a bowl.

The walls were covered with dark red bloodstains, which were particularly shocking under the illumination of the firelight!

"Are they all human bones?" Su Yang felt a shock in his heart.

"Look ahead!" Qin Weiyang shouted.

Following this path piled with bones forward, they saw a huge cross stuck in the middle of the road.

On it was tied a naked man, his limbs nailed to it, blood dripping down.

There was a container beside his feet, seemingly specifically used to collect blood.

At this time, it was almost full, and this person's life was also coming to an end.

Hearing the sound, he seemed to have a flash of clarity before death and begged, "Save... save me."

Su Yang remained unmoved and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"Fei Bohan... I'm a senior, I don't know why I'm here either."

A senior student?

Su Yang walked over, grabbed his chin, and lifted it to look—

He saw a hollow eye socket come into view, the pale, thin face like a candle in the wind.

His eyes had been gouged out?!

"It's the 'Butcher', it dragged me here... please save me and get me out."

Su Yang turned his head to look at Qin Weiyang and saw the shock and suspicion in her eyes.

So he asked, "The Butcher you're talking about, wouldn't that be the ghost story legend of Luoshui Middle School?"

"Yes, that's it," Fei Bohan said weakly.

At this time, Su Yang noticed a blood-red pentagram pattern on the top of the cross.

Just as Ruan Ziliang said, those who have been wronged only need to draw the pattern with their own blood to summon the Butcher.

Originally, Su Yang was half-believing, but now it seemed that there really were supernatural objects in the Death Game!

"The legend is true..." Qin Weiyang's expression changed slightly.

There was actually a hidden space under the stage, and it was covered with bones.

Judging from the degree of decay, this place had been here for many years.

The accumulated smell of blood was difficult to cover even with wooden boards.

To prevent this person from acting it out himself, Su Yang continued to ask, "Tell me, what kind of heinous things have you done?"

Fei Bohan was silent for a long time, seemingly unwilling to mention too much about this matter.

"Slap slap!"

Su Yang patted his face, "Wake up, it's not time for you to sleep yet."

"I... I just poured water into the toilet when my roommate was using it," Fei Bohan said in a low voice.

"Bullying again..." Su Yang shook his head.

Quality education really needs to be strengthened.

These little brats don't do anything proper all day, only thinking about how to bully their classmates.

Su Yang's gaze fell on the bones beside his feet, and he continued to ask, "So all the corpses here are students?"

"Hmm... I think so."

"In that case, the Butcher is doing all good deeds."

"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I won't dare to do it again next time," Fei Bohan's voice was filled with sobbing, full of regret.

In this dark underground, with his eyes gouged out and his body nailed to a cross, he was left to bleed out.

If nothing unexpected happened, the flesh and blood on his body would also decay and dissolve over time.

This... was the Butcher's means of punishing bad students.

"Where is the Butcher?" Su Yang asked.

"It only appears when someone summons it," Fei Bohan explained.

"You clearly understand it so well, yet you were bent on bullying your classmates?" Su Yang said with a half-smile.

As soon as these words were spoken, Fei Bohan suddenly closed his mouth.

Looking at him shedding tears, Su Yang's heart remained calm.

Bullying classmates is indeed not a crime punishable by death, but he did not have the right to forgive on behalf of the victims.

In his view, everyone should pay for their own actions.

"There are so many corpses here, which means many people have disappeared in the past; didn't the school authorities investigate?" Su Yang threw the hand bone aside.

"Luoshui Middle School is an exception; there is a fixed 'disappearance' quota every year," Fei Bohan said.

"You mean... the school authorities tacitly agreed that these missing students were dragged away by the Butcher?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"I don't know..."

"What about the students' parents? Don't they come to the school to make trouble?"

"Don't ask me anymore, I really don't know, please save me and get me out..." Fei Bohan begged.

Su Yang walked to the other end of the cross and looked at Fei Bohan's back.

He didn't find any tattoos.

"There must be specific conditions for the appearance of tattoos, but he is already in a near-death state, so he shouldn't be able to hide it," Su Yang speculated in his heart.

Since treasure hunters have tattoos as "signals."

Correspondingly, Guardians should also have them.

Looking at it this way, the possibility of Fei Bohan being a "player" was almost zero.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a stone door descended, slamming shut the path back.

Qin Weiyang's expression changed drastically as she tried to block it, but her strength was futile in front of it.

She could only watch helplessly as the stone door fell.

"Thud!"

Accompanied by a loud noise, it was completely blocked.

Fei Bohan took a look, and a look of relief appeared on his face, "Now no one can get out."

Qin Weiyang pointed her knife at his neck and said coldly, "How do you open the door?"

"I don't know," Fei Bohan's mouth curled up slightly.

"You..." Qin Weiyang saw his arrogant posture and felt a ruthlessness in her heart.

"I saw it a long time ago; you never intended to save me at all," Fei Bohan looked up at the top and said indifferently:

"Compared to bullying classmates, standing by and watching someone die is equally hateful."

"You are the same kind of people as me."

"Just right, let's all die together, we'll have company on the road to the Yellow Springs."

After saying this, Fei Bohan laughed sinisterly, his laughter mixed with relief and hatred.

"Looking for death!" Qin Weiyang was furious in her heart, and with a wave of her hand, she ended his life.

Fei Bohan's head tilted, and he died completely with a smile on his lips.

He was already near death; even if Su Yang had rescued him immediately, he wouldn't have lasted ten minutes.

He knew this himself; his words just now were merely a deathbed confession.

It was probably to make himself suffer less torture in hell after death.

This was the intention behind nailing him to the cross.

"Is there a way forward?" Qin Weiyang asked.

"Both the front and back are blocked by stone doors," Su Yang shook his head.

"If we can't find a way to open the door, after a while, we will all die of oxygen deprivation," Qin Weiyang said with a solemn expression.

"Keep only two lights, extinguish the other torches," Su Yang said.

The two took down the extra torches on the wall in unison and stepped on them to extinguish them.

Burning consumes oxygen; the only way now is to buy more time to find another way out.

"Since the Butcher lives here, there must be a way out," Su Yang said in a deep voice.

At this moment, Qin Weiyang's ears moved, and she turned to look in the direction they came from.

"There's movement outside!"
