Under the escort of the patrol team, Jack staggered towards the black hell.
The warmth from Demeter’s nectar of Gods had all but faded. His hands and legs were getting stiff from the cold. His eyes were fixated on the approaching black hell and his spirit was ready for the fight ahead.
“Survive… since someone managed to escape ten years ago, why can’t I do it ten years later?”
“Mom, Amber, Brent, Mr. Ward, wait for me, I’m coming home!”
“Madam Hughes, Quinns, your schemes will come to naught. I will stand in front of you once again.”
…
Alarm bells kept ringing in his head. As he approached the black hell, it was as if Jack was being swallowed by the shadows of the city. It looked like the clear skies turned gloomy with ominous clouds above him.
Clunk…
The huge gate doors slowly raised mechanically. The gates were close to a meter thick! The high walls and the thick door were clearly not to block the wind. It was to prevent the people within the black hell from escaping.
“Demeter, it’s so unexpected that you have a catch! Whose prisoner is this?” Someone joked.
Jack saw a 1.7m beautiful blond wearing animal skin robe walking slowly out of the black hell. She smiled radiantly and very charming.
“Alice, I’m sorry, I don’t know who sent him. But at this forsaken place, apart from us are only the prisoners.”
Demeter went over to hug her and grinned. The blond Alice dodged Demeter and walked to Jack as if she had seen a rare treasure and was full of curiosity.
Jack stood in place and looked uneasily at Alice.
After a while.
Alice used her slim finger and pointed on Jack’s chest and gently glide it downwards. She remarked with praise, “Oh my god! Is he a gift to me? He is so delicate and yummy. I’ve not seen such a man for a long time!”
Jack was speechless and unconsciously took a step back.
Alice was stunned and turned to look at Demeter, “Demeter, can you send him to my room and let me spend a night with him before he goes into the prison?”
“Obviously not!” Demeter shook his head and teased, “I, on the other hand, can!”
“You’re too old.” Alice rolled her eyes and waved her hand in disappointment, “Okay then, send him to the black hell.”
Under the patrol team’s escort, Jack walked slowly towards the black hell.
As they passed Alice, she shook her head and sighed, “Sigh… such tender meat, will soon be ravaged. What a waste.”
Jack frowned deeply and was furious.
Alice turned and said, “Take care of yourself, I hope to spend a beautiful night with you one day.”
He was furious for several seconds before composing himself and continued on his path. A forsaken place, a forsaken black hell. He couldn’t hope for the rules here to protect him. The words “man-eat-man” should be enough to describe this place!
They walked through a path that led to the prison. Under the escort of Demeter and the patrol team, they walked into a dark alley.
