Huo Long leaned back and said in a hoarse voice: "Most of the other people who were captured in the mountains threw a tantrum. But she was different. The woman's appearance looked good, but her brain seemed to not be working quite well. She did not respond when people talked to her, did not cry out when being beaten, did not resist whatever people ordered her to do. Within only a few months, she prematurely gave birth to a baby."

Gu Yun's hand holding the knife tightened slightly...somehow, when he heard this, he suddenly felt a kind of terror. The intuition that had never been wrong for so many years seemed to be stirring the string in his heart.

"They all said that women who had just given birth are not clean. For a period, nobody would touch her nor care about her, but for fear that she would run away, we chained her feet in the room, giving her some food every day, yet she did not die...

"After a while, one of my little brothers with his brain soaked in water, missing that woman's beauty, he snuck away to go see her. When he came back, he had told me in horror that there was only one baby left at her side, the other one was gone."

Shen Yi almost forgot he was interrogating, he blurted out: "Which one was missing?"

"Who the hell knows, they were all half-dead babies, bare-boned, only as large as a mouse." As expected, Huo Long was immediately alert. "Why are you asking about this?"

Shen Yi paused, then strongly whipped the lash in his hand at the side, saying coldly: "If you cannot answer anything, then what would be the damn point of speaking of it? There is nothing strange about missing one little Man brat, I am telling you to confess everything from start to end. What are you waiting for? Beating around the bush like this."

Huo Long was not angry, but instead, his expression turned tense: "... No, it is not surprising for the child to die, the lives of these brats were cheap, whether one lived or died was nothing much. But curiously, my brother said, he did not see where the corpse was. The woman was locked in the room, she basically could not get out. She couldn't have buried it in the ground, but she had not thrown it out, nor did she keep it in the room, the child just... just vanished into thin air.

"At that time, the few brothers guarding said they saw firelight in the woman's room in the middle of the night. At first, they assumed she was cooking food in secret, but later, it was said that there were many crows circling over her room during that time..."

Shen Yi felt goosebumps raise up, he unconsciously looked at Gu Yun.
