Tang Haofei's destination was not far, just in the firewood room of the courtyard.
Hmm, just three steps to the left after leaving...
So, as Wen Yu was piecing everything together, he had already arrived at the destination.
Upon reaching, Tang Yi and Tang Er's expressions immediately turned serious. The two exchanged glances, and Tang Er walked up to the firewood room door and pulled it open with force.
Wen Yu immediately stood on his toes to look inside, but all he could see were some small pieces of firewood. It wasn’t until Tang Er stepped in and fumbled around on the ground for a moment that he quickly pulled out an iron chain.
“Creak~~~”
With a strong pull from Tang Er, an ear-piercing friction sound arose, and a wooden board was opened, revealing a dark pit below.
“Let’s go.”
After Tang Er finished speaking, he was the first to step in, followed closely by Tang Yi and Wen Yu.
...
Torches were lit on both sides of the pit, providing a fair amount of light, but not for long. As soon as they stepped into the pit, Wen Yu quickly spotted the iron bars at the end.
There was no light behind the bars, but with Wen Yu's eyesight, he could faintly make out a figure quietly sitting on the ground.
The figure resembled Tang Haofei... hmm, or rather it was indeed Tang Haofei. At this moment, the person behind the bars had his head bowed, looking as if he were sleeping on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Wen Yu immediately squinted his eyes and looked at the two serious-faced Tang Haofei in front of him.
“So, how should I refer to that guy? Tang San?”
Upon hearing this, Tang Yi nodded: “That’s Tang San!”
Then, Tang Yi took a torch from his side and led the way toward the iron bars.
...
Only when they approached did Wen Yu get a detailed look at Tang San’s appearance.
Hmm, his hair was disheveled, and he was completely naked, looking like an uncivilized wild man. A strong aura of killing intent and savagery surrounded him, making him seem like a powder keg ready to explode!
“Suppress!”
“Suppress!”
The word “suppress” rang out almost simultaneously as the power of true words surged from the mouths of Tang Yi and Tang Er. The power then struck directly against the iron bars in front of them.
The bars flickered with a faint light before returning to their dull gray appearance, but the power of true words had already been applied. After completing this, Tang Yi and Tang Er both let out a sigh of relief in unison. Tang Yi then turned his head to look at Wen Yu, his face full of bitterness as he said,
“To be honest, we all underestimated the cost of power. I initially thought that the appearance of Tang Er was the ultimate manifestation of the cost of power, but I never expected this thing to appear…”
As Tang Haofei spoke, he gently tapped on the iron bars in front of him, producing a crisp sound, like a starting gun on an athletics track. The next moment, Wen Yu felt the scene in front of him blur, and suddenly, a big face of Tang Haofei appeared right in front of him!
“Roar... Roar!!!”
A beast-like roar rang out, and a fierce sonic boom blew against the bars, causing them to emit a series of unbearable noises. At this moment, Tang San behind the bars was drooling, his eyes wide, as he opened his mouth wide, emitting a foul stench that made Wen Yu frown in disgust.
This no longer resembled a person at all.
...
After ten minutes, perhaps he got tired of roaring, Tang San finally settled down, and the poor iron bars were no longer subjected to torture. During this process, Tang Yi and Tang Er had cast nearly a hundred true words!
It was a massive project, and Wen Yu could even imagine what kind of life these two guys had lived in this heart resonance world.
Every day, at least one person was on lookout around the cellar, replenishing the power of the true word seals.
Once Tang San became quiet, Tang Yi spoke again.
“When we were in the Heavenly Palace, I died five times in a row, and Tang Er appeared. During the battle with the source extraction device, Tang Er died six times in a row, and then you sealed him.”
