Chapter 180: Chapter 178: Unbelievable
In the afternoon, Luna hid nearby, watching two men with a woman leave the big courtyard, thinking that there must be no one inside now.
Seeing the people go far away, she approached the big courtyard, then climbed up the wall along the big locust tree.
Since it was daytime, she could see more clearly. The big black dog inside was chained up.
Landing smoothly, the big black dog barked continuously. She took out half a sweet potato from her pocket and threw it in front of the dog.
The big black dog immediately stopped barking, sniffed it tentatively, and then directly took the sweet potato into the little house.
She pried open the door lock and entered the house smoothly, which was relatively clean and tidy inside, looking quite ordinary, without even a computer.
She suspected this was just an ordinary farmer’s house, but she couldn’t have made a mistake.
Walking further inside, she saw a staircase leading down. After going down, there was a basement door, left ajar, not locked, and there was sound inside!
As expected, there’s more than meets the eye here.
Approaching the gap in the door, she saw a bunk bed, with two people sitting on the lower bunk watching TV!
Two men, seemingly in their forties, dressed respectably, were cracking sunflower seeds while watching a show.
"We’re leaving tonight. I want to stay in a big hotel. This basement makes me uncomfortable all over."
"Uncomfortable after just one night? I don’t think it’s a big deal. If you stay upstairs and get found, you’d be heading to jail."
"Anyway, we’re going abroad soon. What am I scared of?"
From their conversation, Luna gleaned some information: the people here must be criminals.
"Are the women inside really off-limits? Just seeing them makes me drool."
Women? How many?
Luna was startled. Could it be that there are victims inside?
"Turn off the TV, take a nap, we have work to do at night."
...
Luna stood at the door for more than an hour, finally hearing the different snores of the two men.
She then gripped the electric rod, slowly pushed the door open, hesitated for a long time before taking slow steps inside.
In the blind spot she couldn’t see from outside, there was an iron door with a big lock hanging outside.
What was inside, she wasn’t sure.
Thinking carefully, she decided to pick the lock and take a look.
But the sound of picking the lock might wake up the people on the bed, so better take these two out first!
Just about to take action, suddenly a knocking sound came from inside the iron door.
This noise would eventually wake up the people on the bed, so she came up with another idea and hid under the bed to observe secretly.
Covered by a bedsheet, it was hard to discover someone was under the bed from outside.
Sure enough, a pair of feet appeared in her line of sight, then moved towards the iron door, after a few sounds the door opened.
Then, there was the sound of tape being ripped, followed by a girl’s voice.
"Brother Dong, I’ve thought it over, I’m willing to follow you. If I follow you, does that mean I don’t have to repay the loan?"
"That’s right. Follow me abroad, and I’ll ensure you live in luxury."
The reason Brother Dong wanted this girl to be with him was that she resembled his deceased wife.
And he deeply loved his wife, so at first sight of this girl, he was moved, wanting this prey to follow him.
Although the number of these girls couldn’t be changed, if one was said to have died on the way, the people above wouldn’t know.
"Before Brother Xing returns, have something to eat at the table."
"Thank you, Brother Dong."
Hearing this, Luna also understood the general situation. There should be more girls inside the iron door, and only two people outside. She could definitely take them on.
Seeing Brother Dong’s leg appearing by the bed, she seized the opportunity to zap him!
"Ah~!" Brother Dong didn’t even have time to cry out in pain before collapsing to the floor, clearly his leg had gone numb.
Now she didn’t need to hide; she emerged from under the bed, just as the man on the top bunk was still climbing down!
Two zaps later, seeing the woman in front of her screaming, she said, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here to save you." After speaking, Luna didn’t forget to tie up the two men’s hands and finally tied them to the bed frame.
Inside the iron door, four or five pretty young girls had their hands and feet bound, mouths taped, just squatting against the wall.
To be honest, the smell inside was foul, as if someone had dirtied their pants.
Taking out a small knife, she approached a little girl and began to undo the bindings.
The girl outside the door was still in a daze, while the man tied to the bed frame by Luna gradually regained some strength.
Seeing the dazed girl, Brother Dong said, "Be good, untie me. Once we’re abroad, you’ll be a rich lady. Your family is very poor, right? Don’t you want to be rich? Don’t you want to ride in luxury cars every day?"
"..." The girl said nothing, just stared blankly in Luna’s direction, her big eyes blinking, not knowing what she was thinking.
After untieing one of the girls, Luna ripped the tape off the girl’s mouth and reassured her somewhat perfunctorily, "Don’t be afraid, soon you can leave here."
After speaking, she handed the girl a small knife, "Help me untie the others."
With trembling hands, the girl took the small knife, her pupils suddenly dilated, her expression changed to panic, and through her eyes, Luna saw two people.
Quickly turning her head, the two men had already broken free from their bindings!
She stepped back a few paces, then took out the electric rod, sparking it in her hand, danger imminent. The two men wielded batons, which would be tough to handle if they swung them down.
But with her skills, these two men couldn’t touch her.
In less than half a minute, the two men didn’t even get close before being knocked to the ground, as the electric rod could also be used to hit people.
Seeing the men twitching on the ground, Luna couldn’t waste any time, saying to the dazed girl outside the door, "Come in and help me untie them."
"Alright... alright..." The girl seemed frightened, nodding in agreement, but her body didn’t move at all.
Seeing this, Luna didn’t force it, turning to untie the ropes of the others herself.
The freed girl inside the room clutched the small knife tightly and hurriedly helped Luna untie ropes.
At this time, the girl outside finally had some reaction; after repeated struggles, she had made up her mind.
Leaving here, she would be pursued for loan repayment outside, following Brother Dong, she could be a rich lady.
She slowly walked into the room, picked up the baton on the floor, then walked towards the thin figure, her heartbeat quickening with each step.
Perhaps Luna also sensed something was wrong. When she turned back and saw it was the girl, she paid no attention.
Just as she was about to continue untying ropes, a baton swung towards her! At that moment, with the distance too close to react in time, she could only raise her hand to block!
"Ah―――!"
With a scream, Luna fell to the ground, intense pain washing over her, leaving her with no room to retaliate quickly.
And the girl took the opportunity to swing the baton a few more times, breaking her hand alive!
"Ah!!―――"
The girl helping untie the ropes shrieked in terror, looking horrified at the girl swinging the baton.
After swinging the baton a few times, the girl finally stopped, the baton clattering to the ground.
Curled up on the ground, Luna gritted her teeth, sweat covering her forehead; the pain in her body silenced her screams.
She couldn’t understand why this girl would attack her, mainly because it was this girl, she didn’t guard against her initially.
"I’m...sorry..." the girl who had hit her retreated a little in fear, tears filling her big eyes.
Faced with this scene, the other hopeful girls, although tied up and their mouths sealed, widened their eyes, staring in disbelief and despair.
