Midnight.

There was silence in the dark room.

Chen Yuan was lying alone on the spring bed, his eyes were hollow, and his heart was like ashes.

Due to Mr. Hong's special instructions, he was only given a symbolic beating, and did not cause any substantial damage.

Chen Yuan's mood has fallen to the bottom.

In addition to despair, it is still despair.

It's already 1 a.m. on June 7, and in just over eight hours, the college entrance examination liberal arts exam will kick off.

In order to return to Linjiang and take the college entrance examination, I have done my best.

"Dad...... Mom, Principal Xu, Teacher Han, Fat, Huo Shao, Senior Sister Ning Xi, Gu Lao, I'm sorry, I failed you. ”

A faint yellow light cast on his face, reflecting two shallow scars on his pale face.

In the past three years, he has paid too much in order to be admitted to university.

From the beginning of the "martial arts waste slag", to the later time travel, rebuilding the ancient martial arts.

Chen Yuan's efforts and sweat are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Along the way, it can be described as a bumpy road.

regained the opportunity to cultivate, and was lucky to get the "champion of civil and martial arts", but he was stuck at the threshold of "spiritual power use".

Later, he met Gu Lao, learned the "Xuanling Luck Sutra", and completely solved the problem of the use of spiritual power, but was jealous of Yun Qingyan and sent someone to take him captive to "Blackwood Town", and one pass was half a month.

After experiencing the failure of the first escape, he endured in every possible way, regardless of life and death, and finally waited for the best opportunity to escape, and did not hesitate to force Mr. Hong to release him by kidnapping the woman, but he did not expect that at the last moment, he still fell short and his hopes were dashed.

"In a few hours, the college entrance examination will begin, even if you can escape from here, there is no point, right?"

Chen Yuan leaned on the pillow, his eyes were a little red, and he reached out and rubbed it vigorously to prevent tears from flowing.

"One-Eyed Hao" sat on a small square stool next to the spring bed, holding a patch of wound medicine in his hand.

Looking at Chen Yuan's state, it's not sticky, it's not sticky.

Chen Yuan turned his head, glanced at him, and said with a wry smile: "'One-eyed Hao' is still at your ease, without desire, happy every day, without so many worries." ”

"One-Eyed Hao" frowned, shook his head vigorously, and was about to argue a few words of "ahhhhhhhh

only heard a soft sound of "ticking" in the dark room, and Mr. Hong's hologram had already appeared in front of Chen Yuan's bed.

"Is the injury better?" said Mr. Hong with a slight smile.

"Thanks to you, I can't die. Chen Yuan replied expressionlessly, and said casually: "Why, the little girl surnamed Su didn't let you kill me?"

"Said," Mr. Hong said bluntly, his expression still unwavering: "Fu Bo did not agree. ”

"Tell Fu Bo that I thank him," Chen Yuan sneered, sat up from the spring bed, looked at Mr. Hong and said, "But I'm a little strange, you all respect her like an ancestor, and you dare not listen to the words of your ancestors?"

"Hehe, you don't have to taunt me. ”

Mr. Hong sneered and said, "Many things are not as you imagined, including our motives for keeping you here, the true identities of Miss Jin'er and Fubo, and of course, the 'organization' behind us. ”

"I'm sorry, I don't care about what you just said. ”

Chen Yuandao, "I'll just ask you, are you willing to let me go, if you don't, kill me as soon as possible, otherwise even if I stay here, it will be impossible to work for you, let alone join the so-called 'organization' in your mouth." ”

"I remember telling you a long time ago that I couldn't have let you go. ”

Mr. Hong said, "As for whether you are willing to come to power and die for me, it doesn't matter anymore. ”

"Through this period of training, your 'ancient martial arts talent' has been confirmed, and your actual combat ability has also been greatly improved, our goal has basically been achieved, and naturally we will not force you to gamble again. ”

"Speaking of which, you still won't let me go......"

Seeing Mr. Hong's lukewarm look, the anger in Chen Yuan's heart instantly exploded, and he roared angrily: "I don't understand, I'm just an ordinary high school student, even if I have practiced ancient martial arts for a few days, it's nothing unusual, why do you keep locking me up...... Could it be that this is also Yun Qingyan's instruction to you?"

"You're wrong. Mr. Hong said: "Yun Qingyan is not worthy of issuing instructions to us at all, even if his father comes forward, he is not qualified enough. ”

"What......" Chen Yuan's pupils shrank, "You weren't sent by Yun Qingyan?"

"To be exact, no, at least I'm not," Mr. Hong said lightly, "At this point, I might as well reveal some 'inside information' to you." ”

He slowly paced in the dark room, and said slowly: "Over the years, my junior brother 'Long Kun' has been doing things for the Yun family, and more than half a month ago, I got Yun Qingyan's order to kidnap a senior high school student from the Municipal No. 3 Middle School. ”

"The student...... That's me. Chen Yuan said coldly.

"Yes, because of your existence, it seriously threatens Yun Qingyan's plan to seize the 'Linjiang City College Entrance Examination Martial Arts Champion', so I asked Long Kun to secretly detain you in a place where no one can find you, and wait until after the college entrance examination to release you, at that time...... Yun Qingyan has firmly sat on the throne of the 'champion of the city's martial arts', even if you return to Linjiang, there is no conclusive evidence, it is difficult to set off any storms. ”

When Mr. Hong said this, he turned his head to see Chen Yuan's reaction.

I saw him sitting upright on the spring bed, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

After a pause, he continued: "Long Kun got the order to lead people to ambush you on the road, and during the battle, he found that your ancient martial arts talent was good, so he brought you to me, hoping to borrow my hand to temper you, and by the way, tap more talents and potentials." When you really grow up, we will recommend you to our teacher, that is, the 'leader', in exchange for the two of us for the opportunity to return to the 'organization'. ”

"Whether or not you can successfully enter the 'organization' is related to the fate of me, Long Kun and many others, so during this time, while recording your cultivation progress through the monitor, I also sent you to the stage to gamble with others, stimulating your fighting spirit and ability. All we do is to make you honestly stay here and use us. ”

"Hehe, you're honest. Chen Yuan sneered.

"Of course, since I choose to cooperate with you, I must be as honest as possible. Mr. Hong said with a smile.

"Cooperation?" Chen Yuan sneered, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested." ”

Mr. Hong glanced at him and said with a light smile: "You don't even know what 'organization' is, and of course you're not interested in cooperation, but I believe that when you have the opportunity to see the strength of 'organization', you will naturally have a new understanding of what I said today." ”

"Bunch of nonsense, get down to business. Chen Yuan said impatiently.

Mr. Hong didn't mind at all, and said to himself: "Joining the 'organization' is of great benefit to you personally and to your family. ”

"I know you have a lot of grievances in your heart, but I still have to advise you to give up the useless struggle this morning, especially the kidnapping of Miss Jin'er, if it happens again, let alone me and Long Kun, even if it is Fu Bo's old man, he will not be able to protect you. ”

"It's just right to be dead," Chen Yuan said, "It's better to be locked up in such a dark ghost place by you." ”

"You think about it, tomorrow morning, I'll ...... again"

As Mr. Hong said this, the hologram suddenly shuddered violently, and then began to become blurry.

"What kind of moth is the surname Hong?"

Chen Yuan frowned slightly, and raised his eyes to look.

I saw that in the remaining images, Mr. Hong's face was wearing an extremely frightened look.

“...... What's the situation, seeing a ghost?"

Chen Yuan's eyes widened, and at this moment, with a "click", Mr. Hong's hologram shattered into countless points of light, and then disappeared completely.

Almost at the same time, a heart-rending shout suddenly came from outside the iron gate.

"Ah...... It's a demon beast, the monster tide is coming, run!"

"Miss Jin'er is still in the bedroom, send someone to take Miss Jin'er first!"

"Damn it...... When did these brutes appear, the escort team copied the guys and went out to see ......!"

"Demon Beast Tide ......?"

Chen Yuan was stunned on the spot.

As a champion of liberal arts, he naturally knows very well what these three words mean.

"Demon Beast Tide" refers to the destruction of otherworldly monsters scattered in the wilderness, gathered in one place under some unknown command, and launched a devastating attack on a city or town inhabited by humans.

The number of times is more or less, the time is longer or shorter, the scale is large or small, and the destructive power is also different.

Chen Yuan once learned from an extracurricular book that the largest "monster tide" in history occurred in the United States of America in North America.

December 24, 2325, Western Christmas night.

Millions of otherworldly monsters swept through California in the United States of America like a tidal wave.

Overnight, all of California was shrouded in a boundless fear of killing and death.

In the sky, there are thousands of strange birds, covering the sky and the sun, and in the face of strange birds, the fighter group of the American military is like paper paste, and all of them are destroyed in one shot.

In the ocean, swarms of huge strange fish attacked the Gulf of California, tearing a large number of warships to pieces, and also triggered a large tsunami, and coastal residents were either killed in the sea or devoured by strange fish, causing heavy casualties.

On the ground, monsters of all sizes invaded hundreds of human towns, selected people to devour, and killed wildly, directly causing millions of people to die, and California was almost razed to the ground.

Chen Yuan remembered that it was after that tragic "Demon Beast Tide" that human beings began to really pay attention to the construction and reinforcement of the "Base City".

Various countries have successively issued bills to more than double the height of the walls of the base city on the original basis, and the number of troops and "new warriors" stationed in the base city has also increased several times more than before.

A hundred years ago, there was also a small-scale "monster tide" in "Blackwood Town".

At that time, thousands of demon beasts in the "Blackwood Mountain" swarmed and attacked the towns around a main road in Linjiang City, resulting in the death of tens of thousands of people and turning the once prosperous towns into barren land.

Growing up in a slum area, Chen Yuan heard from his parents and neighbors about the terrible past of the "monster tide" since he was a child.

Now hearing the movement outside the iron gate, my heart couldn't help but pinch up, my eyes sank, and I said secretly: "No, I haven't escaped yet, I can't die here, absolutely not!"
