Chapter 231 088. Children of Ether (Part 1)

The cell is dark and damp. Since this is a remote area where the artificial sun can hardly shine, the temperature inside the prison often reaches below freezing. In this case, the guards of Tianhuan will use a special way to discipline the criminals.

Each cell has a matching bed, but the jailer will take away the blankets and sheets before going to bed every day, leaving the cold bed board, and then order you to clean the floor with a mop. Late at night, the cold air will spread from the ground, catching the prisoner from the cracked and porous bed board. You will hug your shoulders and shiver all over. Your sanity will gradually be wiped out under the torture of the cold. At about the same time, the jailer will I’m shouting to you: Hey, get up and get to work.

At that moment, you were extremely grateful to the jailer. At least in the workshop, you could step on the sewing machine and lean on the lathe, and have the heat supply generated by the machinery. It was better than gradually losing temperature and freezing to death in the cold.

After more than ten days of torture, when the jailer calls you to work again, you will naturally stop resisting and feel relieved.

The cold is much scarier than heavy labor.

That is the fear of death engraved in the genes of life. In fact, when hypothermia first occurs, you will not feel uncomfortable, but will feel very hot, and you will start to take off your clothes unconsciously, and then you will feel dizzy, freezing, heart failure, and finally your heart will stop beating. Little by little, he lost consciousness and finally died completely.

During the whole process, the blood seemed to have solidified and froze in the blood vessels. At first, you kept shivering and rolling, trying to warm yourself, but in the end, your head was so hot that you couldn't even think anymore. The heat dissipated little by little, and you faintly heard someone shouting loudly. I call you, but I can’t make out a single word.

After working in prison for a long time, the cold will speed up the body's metabolism, and the fat in your thighs and buttocks will gradually disappear, and eventually turn into a skinny skeleton. The dark vision and narrow and closed cage will destroy people's emotions, coupled with the long-term high Intense labor caused serious damage to the mind and body. Countless prisoners completely collapsed and went crazy after being punished by Tianhuan jailers.

In a sense, this is indeed a release from prison.

However, what awaits them is not a lunatic asylum, but being sent to the operating table. Their corneas are worth 3 million baht, a pair of kidneys are worth 1 million baht, and their torsos can be sold to the Hojo family's security group to fill in mechanical circuits and transform them into robots. ——Due to being in a cold environment for a long time and the prison's carefully customized diet, their organs remain very healthy and have very little contamination. Prisoners' organs are often sent to the freezers of high-level companies and can be taken at any time.

The Tianhuan jailers are very confident in their own standards and techniques. In the past twenty years, no one has been able to withstand this kind of psychological and physical torture. They will also organize singing and dancing for the prisoners to gradually increase their trust in the prison. You If they wish, the prisoners can even manage themselves, saving them a lot of trouble.

However, facing the new prisoners in Room K-202, this tried-and-tested management and education method failed for the first time.

Tick...tick...

The two jailers stood outside the door, listening to the sound of broken water pipes and seeping water, waiting with their hands behind their backs, waiting for the other to be unable to bear the cold and begging to go out to work.

"It's been four hours." A guard whispered: "He won't freeze to death, will he?"

"No, Beta-level warriors may be more resistant to freezing." The jailer said unconfidently.

It's as if he didn't say it - as long as you are still human, you will not be able to bear it if you stay in such a cold and humid environment for a long time. There was once a proud warrior who was imprisoned, and he withstood the torture through his strong body Torture, but for the cold, I couldn't stand it after only four days.

That kind of damp and cold torture will penetrate directly into the joints. No one can bear the pain. Coupled with the cold plank bed, you will soon start to cry out in pain. People with strong physiques are not machines, let alone What's more, they had been injected with muscle relaxants before entering this prison. Their extraordinary senses should be more intense than the pain ordinary people feel.

There was only silence in response to them.

"You're not really dead, are you?"

The jailer felt a panic in his heart, and then turned on the surveillance camera: in the black and white picture, a tall man was sitting quietly on the bed, his face was calm and composed, and his body was covered with a layer of white frost, but he was not moved at all. The man closed his eyes tightly. , I don’t know what he is thinking, but what is certain is that he is not only alive, but all signals show that he can still maintain the strong vitality of the Beta level.

"...It seems we are worrying too much." A jailer sighed.

"This guy doesn't seem to be an ordinary person." Another person added: "He may not be far from the gamma level. Look at this signal, it's like a furnace."

"Gretwal Nightsong...quasi-gamma level." The jailer curled his lips: "There are really more and more gamma levels recently, don't you think?"

"How can I see it?"

"Underworld Humanity developed some kind of gamma-level biochemical beast. Grand Duke Gurant, who had never taken action, suddenly showed his true form and easily destroyed half of the city. Gretewal and his accomplices were able to block an army head-on. Not to mention, we have seen with our own eyes that he blocked the main gun of the mobile armor... Frost Plate's Li Ozi is even more incredible. It is said that he single-handedly killed Frost Plate's air force. "

"You think too much. There are such gamma-class novae in every era, but after living for more than ten years, they will realize that this planet does not support their life form at all."

The jailers were trained by the Tianhuan regular supernatural system and understood these issues very well.

"For example, you know that dinosaurs became extinct, not because they were directly killed by meteorites, but because the ecology on which dinosaurs depended for survival was destroyed, ferns became extinct - herbivorous dinosaurs that ate ferns became extinct - predatory dinosaurs that ate herbivorous dinosaurs became extinct."

The jailer lit a cigarette. Since Gretwal Nightsong was not dead, there was no need to pay attention to him. His companion asked curiously, "What are dinosaurs?"

"Don't worry about it - anyway, that's what the Gamma class is like. The energy and environment of the Azure Star are not enough to support their survival. Therefore, the Gamma class that can truly be called active and can exert the power of the Gamma class is very rare and precious. Most of them are just lucky ones who have been promoted by chance. Without a country, they will only starve to death on the ground."

"It's so sad - these people are the same. It is obviously the kindness of His Majesty the King of the Ring that allows the untouchables of the Sky Ring to survive. , but they still shamelessly want more. "

"Who said it wasn't."

He blew a smoke ring and said sarcastically:

"So, they are doomed to fail. The Red Army thinks that they can challenge the army just because they have mastered the power of the Gamma level? They really look down on the 20mm depleted uranium armor-piercing bullet. "

"Let's go, since he's fine, how about we go back and have a drink?"

"You kid is hiding illegal liquor again, right? Iron mea..."

The two people's laughter and scolding gradually faded away, but the tall man in the cell frowned more and more.

Cold, damp, dark.

None of these can defeat him.

But in the dark, he felt a strange palpitation.

Close your eyes, the world is quiet with only the sound of dripping water and frost condensing, and even your strong heartbeat is gradually swallowed by silence. However, his consciousness is clearer than ever before.

"... (whisper)"

Gradually, a faint call came from his heart, which seemed to be some kind and gentle voice. Finally, under the association of the brain, it was interpreted into a sound that was almost like music.

It was an indescribable melody, just like the gentle itch of the wind brushing across the skin, or the body being wrapped in a hot spring, and the steam slowly baptizing. His consciousness became higher and higher, as if he was flying towards the sky, but people can't fly. Only when their feet stand on the ground can they feel alive.

"...Wake up..."

As his consciousness gradually soared, he seemed to see the red and black sky of Esha, and above it, the "blue sky" that only existed in legends and history books. The strong palpitations finally turned into an eager call, not in any language, but the meaning was directly imprinted in the heart.

The strange echo finally expressed a complete meaning in the beautiful dark blue sky:

"Wake up, jury member."

At that moment, his consciousness instantly sank back to the ground, and in the dark world in front of him, a low and hoarse male voice suddenly sounded as clear and sonorous as a knife hitting:

"Black Whale, you still don't understand your "quality", which really disappoints me."

For some reason, whenever Gretwal Nightsong heard the male voice, he would unconsciously think of a creature he had never seen and did not exist on the blue planet: sharks.

"You're here again."

Gretwal opened his eyes, and a pale and distorted figure seemed to be reflected in his blue eyes.

"I've said it many times-I'm not a black whale, do you want me to call you a white shark?"

Gretwal spoke without any tone, but no one seemed to feel that he had any malice.

"You don't understand, you don't understand anything."

White Shark opened his arms, as if he was telling something passionately:

"Your talent, your race, your surname, your destiny - you must be killed by me, but not now. Only when you are fully awakened and realize the qualities of being a [Black Knight], you will be qualified to fight me."

"I am not interested in guessing riddles." Gretwal said to the pale figure: "I don't want to kill anyone, unless you hurt others."

"That's it! That's it!"

White Shark said excitedly, but Then he denied it hysterically:

"No! No! It's not like that! It's not enough!"

"You must have a passionate love and a sense of fearlessness. You must put your life in the most important place and then abandon it! In this way, this is the greatest sacrifice."

"That is a necessary sacrifice. If you want to succeed, you must pay a certain price - yes, that is a sacrifice, idiot, not protection, but sacrifice!"

The tone of the white shark is sometimes crazy and sometimes lost, like a shark stranded on the beach. He tried to pray to himself and roared.

Gretewal had no idea what he was.

If the white shark is a madman, then what is he who can see the white shark?

"Why are you pestering me?"

Although he asked this question many times, the white shark would tell him the same answer every time without getting tired of it:

"For sacrifice, Black Whale, you don't understand, quality is sacrifice, sacrifice is quality! We all have to sacrifice, only by sacrificing can we live, can we live soberly!"

Very bizarre thoughts, right?

Gretewal continued to ask:

"Who are you?"

White Shark replied proudly: "【White Knight】, the 【White Knight】 of the jury."
