174: Chapter 174 The Two's Perverse Pleasures

Ye Qingqing took on a serious expression, but she didn't let anything show on her face.

She merely smiled and hooked her arm through Huo Sixian's.

"Shall we go take a look at the basement?"

Huo Sixian understood Ye Qingqing's meaning, and they went to the basement together.

Even though it was a basement, it was very bright.

A glass pane had been installed in the basement ceiling, directly connecting to the light from the beach courtyard, forming a lightwell.

At this, Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, nothing strange had appeared.

But soon, Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing could no longer smile.

Because as the two continued deeper into the basement, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed.

The Ah Huang motion-sensor lights on the ceiling flickered on.

As the lights came on, a very disturbing scene unfolded before their eyes.

In this basement, there was also a cage, filled with various iron chains and all sorts of torture devices.

Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing could even smell a faint, lingering scent of blood.

Besides the cage, there were several iron gates in this basement.

It was just like an ancient prison; Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian even saw prison tools that usually only appeared in tv series.

There were even red-hot iron plates, those finger-clamping contraptions... in short, every kind of torture tool could be seen here.

"Let's leave first," Ye Qingqing said, turning her head toward Huo Sixian.

At this moment, Huo Sixian's expression wasn't very good either, even without Xiao Mei's explanation.

The two of them could tell what this basement was used for.

The faint smell of blood wafting from here was also very unsettling.

At the same time, Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing understood why no Ability User who left the Official Base ever returned.

After seeing the attitude toward Ability Users in this Viper Base, the possibility of returning to the Official Base was slim.

Both Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing showed expressions of confusion on their faces.

The two had questions in their hearts, but they kept them to themselves because this place was not a good place to talk.

From the moment they entered until now, not a single person had asked for their names; they had been brought straight in after their Superpower was tested.

It was as if their names weren't important.

One could even say that no one cared about names at all.

When Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing reached the third floor and carefully observed the surroundings, confirming there was no surveillance, they finally drew all the curtains and lay down on the bed together.

At the same time, the moment they lay down, Ye Qingqing took two human-sized dolls out of her space and placed them on the bed to disguise them as the two of them.

Only then did Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing enter the space.

The moment Ye Qingqing entered the space, Ah Huang seemed to sense it.

He immediately ran down from the mountain to the front of Ye Qingqing.

However, because the place was truly a bit large...

By the time Ah Huang ran down from the mountain, he was already panting heavily.

Despite this, Ah Huang still kept trying to nuzzle against Ye Qingqing.

Huo Sixian crouched down and handed Ah Huang a bowl of water.

Ah Huang looked at Huo Sixian, wanting to grumble a few curses in his heart, but as if suddenly remembering something, he swallowed the words he wanted to bark out.

He drank the water Huo Sixian handed over.

Huo Sixian patted Ah Huang's head with satisfaction.

"Drink slowly, no one is fighting you for it."

After drinking the water, Ah Huang whimpered and whined, exposing his belly and pawing at Ye Qingqing's hand, wanting her to pet him.

Ye Qingqing smiled helplessly, coaxing Ah Huang while speaking to Huo Sixian.

"This base is wrong. Everything about it is wrong."

Listening to Ye Qingqing's words, Huo Sixian nodded.

"Yeah, they never asked for our names, and the people here only seem to care about my Superpower."

Ye Qingqing nodded in agreement. "I wonder how Lu Huan and the others are doing."

Both Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing knew clearly that in this base, ordinary people had no status, and women without a Superpower were slaves.

Moreover, they were slaves under a patriarchy.

As for the men, Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian had actually seen some just now, though they hadn't seen them very clearly.

If Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian weren't mistaken, those men without a Superpower were likely being used for hard labor.

And it was the lowest level of hard labor at that.

"We can't stay in this base for long. Furthermore, the person in power here must have a conspiracy we don't know about, it's just that we don't know the specifics yet."

A layer of worry flashed across Huo Sixian's brow. All of this was too abnormal, as if Ability Users like them were being pushed into a place from which they could never leave once they entered.

Ye Qingqing and Huo Sixian didn't stay in the space for long; they went out after having a meal.

Ah Huang gave Ye Qingqing one last reluctant look, whimpering as he wanted to go out with her.

But he was heartlessly rejected by Ye Qingqing, and in the end, Ah Huang could only watch eagerly as Ye Qingqing disappeared from the space.

Ah Huang lay dejectedly on the ground, his expression full of loneliness.

Seeing this, Ye Qingqing couldn't help but feel a surge of guilt, as if she had done something terrible to Ah Huang.

After leaving the space, Ye Qingqing put the two dolls on the bed back into her space.

Suddenly, the two of them caught an unusual fragrance.

That scent was like something that would make one addicted.

Amidst the floral fragrance, a faint, metallic scent wafted through.

Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing instantly realized something was wrong, and it seemed this scent hadn't just started drifting in.

It was as if this scent had been in the room all along.

Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing closed their eyes tightly and lay on the bed, waiting for the next move here.

However, Huo Sixian was constantly using his Superpower to isolate the air around Ye Qingqing and himself.

At the same time, he continuously funneled air from the space to their noses.

Originally, Ye Qingqing was wondering what to do, but she hadn't expected Huo Sixian's Space Ability to be so heaven-defying that even this would work.

Soon, the two of them sensed the room door being opened.

Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing kept their eyes tightly shut, and even their breathing became much steadier.

Xiao Mei's voice from earlier that day sounded in Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing's ears.

"This SSS-rank Ability User really is different; his breathing is still so steady."

Responding to Xiao Mei was another male voice.

That male voice sounded very aged.

"They didn't even take off their clothes or wash up; the taste of these two is quite strange."

"Jie jie jie~"

Huo Sixian and Ye Qingqing almost jumped out of bed when they heard this.

Xiao Mei covered her mouth and giggled. "Who knows? Maybe this is just their peculiar taste."

"But I'm more concerned about whether the Master is satisfied with these two."
