505 Chapter 505

The servant opened the elevator and, with a practiced movement, pulled out a box with the man inside.

Kyon felt himself being carried to the side. The barely audible splashing of water came from there. Apparently, someone was taking a bath. Nearby, near the wall, something was swinging on a chain… Six items. Six living people! Their weak heartbeats indicated that they were in the deepest sleep, or even in a coma. He also caught a distinct smell of blood and the scent of a woman, which sent goosebumps running down his skin.

The servant took the pot-bellied man out of the coffin, brought him to the six hanging ones and hung him on a hook by the chin next to the rest, the last in a row. Then there was a terrible crack of cut flesh… Then there was the sickening sound of blood gushing from the throat. It collected in puddles under the feet of the victims and flowed down the gutters into the bath that the empress took.
