turned extending her delicate hand to
caress Shia's face affectionately are
you afraid then confess honestly do you
understand xiaoi seemed to be instantly
galvanized pleadingly looking at Aunt
ran shaking her head with a pitifully
small motion she attempted to speak but
her jaw quivered uncontrollably her
teeth clashing don't not be afraid they
are all enemies traitors who deserve
punishment you are not one of them are
you Aunt ruan's voice was gently
reassured uring guon tion and her
companions felt a chill run down their
spines beginning to regret not having
dealt with shiai sooner wishing they had
not followed her murder is merely a
matter of striking the head to the
ground the most brutal Act is that of
Torment Doan's heart turned cold as she
realized a troubling truth Aunt Ruan was
undoubtedly no stranger to this place in
fact she must have held a position
within the Hall of punishment which was
established by AC she recognized gu Anon
implying that she was likely one of AC's
subordinates just how extensive was AC's
influence now it made sense if he could
establish such a cruel and bloody place
as the Hall of punishment what was so
surprising about having hidden followers
yet Aunt ran was clearly able to come
and go freely here suggesting she had
witnessed her fair share of tortures
however her demeanor was oddly peculiar
it was apparent she harbored some
aversion to the existence of the hall
the no it seemed she merely harbored a
simple disain for the human race for
those capable of devising such cruel
punishments but what difference did that
make from lifting a bowl to dine and
then setting it down to curse in that
moment Ganon felt that anunt ran was not
a figure deserving of respect ant ran
led the group down a passageway which
culminated in a pitch black door to be
precise it was not a door but rather an
entrance appearing as a wall due to the
overwhelming Darkness within upon
reaching the threshold the group
instinctively halted inside The Echoes
of anguished cries reverberated as
standing at the entrance they could
discern the faint sounds giu tontion
needed not to enter to know that this
was a place where prisoners were
detained and subjected to torturous
interrogation shiai could no longer move
her body desperately attempting to sink
downwards and even Aunt ran struggled to
support her she shook her head violently
managing to utter a few words I doubt I
will sigh and ran sighed lightly silly
girl Youk come this far you must confess
once inside overwhelmed by fear Shia's
beautiful eyes roll back as She fainted
let us proceed you all should take a
look inside oh not be afraid Miss goo is
the Beloved of Lord Acy though this is a
place of punishment it is nothing to be
concerned about Aunt ran flashed them a
gentle smile and stepped inside Udan
glanced at the timer which indicated
only half an hour remained having come
this far with xiaoi being taken inside
they had no choice but to follow in
order to complete their mission since
the beginning of the game they had lost
count of how many beings both human and
monster they had slain to speak frankly
their hands were stained with blood the
lives extinguished by them likely
outnumbering the fruits consumed by ant
ran aside from the initial discomfort
who among them truly feared witnessing
and execution now as they stepped into
the Hall of punishment an overwhelming
sense of unease enveloped them the
atmosphere was too dark a foul stinch
mingled with the sharp metallic scent of
blood within there were two paths a
staircase leading down on the left and a
narrow passage on the right just as L
Zing had speculated earlier the Hall of
punishment indeed harbored a basement
they chose the right path suspecting
that the conditions within the basement
would be even more brutal blood soaked
and clandestine certainly not a place
