Section 301 The Secret of the World 6
When Lu Wu opened his eyes, he saw himself lying in the hospital room again.
He turned his head sideways, and saw the painting without surprise. In fact, when the tiger picture hung in the original store, it did look quite pleasing to the eye. But now when Lu Wu sees this tiger picture—maybe it's because he's tired of it, maybe it's just because of his personal mood—he unconsciously thinks of a piece of pork that hasn't been cleaned up, and the one hanging in front of your window.
Kecha Goat apparently didn't care about the effects of light on humans. As a human being, Lu Wu used to live in a world with day and night, and even with modern electric lighting, he would turn off the lights and go to sleep when it was time to go to sleep. But in this cage where he is under house arrest, the light will not be extinguished. A day or two is fine, but as time goes by, the negative effects become more and more obvious. It is said that there are relevant experiments on the earth, which prove that human beings will show a series of problems such as restlessness, restlessness, insomnia, and irritability in a constant light environment for a long time. The facts seem to be this experiment. Although Lu Wu didn't feel anxious yet, but now that he opened his eyes, his first thought was that he had better lie in a real, earthly ward, and everything in the past was just a dream.
It's a pity that the truth always shatters illusions.
He subconsciously reached out to grab it, but grabbed a void. The master is not here, but on the other side of the throne. At the beginning, Lu Wu searched blindly among the gods with the master in order to kill time, but he accidentally found a lot of records of Kecha Goat. As mentioned earlier, these records are stored in a "non-human" way, according to the master, it is highly compressed information, and if it is not for the existence of the master, it is extremely difficult for ordinary humans to decipher, even with the help of machinery.
However, the master found something to do, but Lu Wu still felt that it was difficult to pass the time. He was now beginning to understand why captivity was a punishment. In the past, when I was in the university dormitory, when I heard news or programs such as "XXX sentenced to XX years in prison, immediately executed", some people suggested that this was not a punishment. Because a person, in a safe and secure place, there is food and drink, and there is nothing to do (China still has forced labor in this regard, but some countries do not have it), and it is simply a paradise life in ancient times.
But now, he finally understood what the prisoners were like. Losing one's freedom, even if it is not life-threatening, is never a joyful thing.
He washed up (thankfully, Kaycha Goyat did provide a full range of sanitary baths) and picked up a breakfast. It was breakfast, but he didn't know if it was morning, but it was just the first meal after he woke up. Of course, the so-called breakfast cannot reproduce the steamed buns, fritters, soy milk and the like on the earth, but it is a specialty of this world - the kind of food that resembles compressed biscuits, with only a faint salty taste.
It must be said that the food technology of this world is excellent because it is very nutritious. Lu Wu has eaten for so long, and he feels that everything in his body is healthy, and he has not eaten any unnecessary problems. And normal people only need a small amount of food to meet the needs of the human body - if in terms of nutrition per unit weight or volume, there is no food on the planet that can compare, even compressed biscuits and the like. Of course, its drawbacks are obvious. The designers and makers of those foods apparently didn't think about taste at all – they seemed to think that even the slightest thought in this area would be blasphemous and disrespectful. From beginning to end, even if Lu Wu was now the commander of the legion and had a fairly high authority in terms of purchasing supplies, he had discovered what delicacies could be worth mentioning. Food on the public trade network is indeed divided into grades and prices. But the difference between ordinary food and high-end food is that high-end food is smaller, lighter, and easier to carry around – but it still tastes like a faint saltiness. It's slightly better if you mix it with water or boil it into a paste, but let's be honest, that's the thing.
Of course, this world also has high-end ingredients - Lu Wu had seen some fruits and vegetables that he had never heard of before at the banquet in Grumas (which should be delicious). But in the end, those are just fruits and vegetables, the kind that are eaten directly. Cooking techniques or something, at least Lu Wu hasn't been exposed to it yet. Of course, this may be because this place is a remote border area, so it can't accommodate all kinds of luxuries, or it may be because Lu Wu's actual authority and influence are still very low, and he is not qualified to contact it.
But then again, although the food here is monotonous, it's not impossible to find bright spots. I don't know if it's a personal reason, anyway, Lu Wu thinks that this thing didn't cause anorexia - it stands to reason that eating this kind of thing every day should have made me sick to my stomach when I ate it. At least Lu Wu still feels normal now, even if he is not very hungry, he can eat some, and he has no special disgust.
After eating, he walked out of his "hospital room". The cage--chamber that Kecha Goyat had specially built for him was indeed a ward on Earth, the kind of single person. There is a door in the ward, which can be opened at will, outside between the thrones of Kecha Goat.
According to Lu Wu's current understanding, the so-called divine throne should be Kecha Goat's private secret room - the kind that does not welcome outsiders. Everywhere there are remnants of the records left by Kecha Goat. Of course, at the beginning, the master was put in a cage and directly became super myopic, so he couldn't feel it. But once Kecha Goat himself was not there, and Lu Wu was holding him around, he found a lot of all kinds of information left by Kecha Koat. These include observation diaries, lab notes, research experiences, and other messy stuff.
Masters don't need to sleep, so when Lu Wu was sleeping, he stayed between the divine seats to interpret the message left by Kaicha Goat.
"Master!" Lu Wu shouted, and the master's response rang on the phone speaker. "Partner, what's wrong?"
Master Pingyi's mobile phone is still in that cage, the cage is leaning against the small raised edge of a wall, and when Lu Wu went to sleep yesterday, the master was placed in this position. His current sensing range is very weak, he can only sense a limited distance of two or three meters, and at the same time, he has also lost that telepathic ability. If it weren't for the fact that he relied on a smartphone on Earth, naturally equipped with speakers and microphones, he would be a deaf, blind and mute man now. No wonder it was enough for Kecha Goyat to keep him in a cage and no more disposition.
"Didn't you say that today is that special day?"
"Yes, today, I guess something will happen......" replied the master. "But partner, I found something more interesting. ”
"What?"
"The method of the living sacrifice...... The kid seemed to want to be more deeply involved in the world. The master said.
"A living sacrifice......?"
"Well, as you understand it, it is to offer a living creature to God at the altar. The master replied. "It is said to be a sacrifice, but in fact it is not flesh and blood that is sacrificed—God cannot come down to drink blood and eat flesh—but the life force of the sacrifice. In general, the sacrifice is killed to make it easier for the god to absorb the life force...... It is not an ordinary one-stroke killing, but a serious injury, such as cutting the throat or cutting a large blood vessel, so that the sacrifice slowly loses blood and dies slowly, so that it is an effective sacrifice...... Partner, do you remember the growth days?"
Lu Wu immediately remembered the giant lizard that could fly, the giant beast with steel plates installed under its skin. By the way, it seemed ...... at the time In Lu Wu's impression, it seemed to be an altar or something.
"Yes, the altar...... Very large, directly sacrificing the life force, without the need for someone to preside. That's a very interesting innovation...... It's also an innovation that doesn't make much sense. The master said. "Now that I think about it, it seems to have some special significance. ”
"What is the special significance?" Since confirming that it was impossible for him to embark on the path of becoming a god (this point, the master had repeatedly confirmed and emphasized), Lu Wu was no longer interested in these things. "Still, did you find the clue we wanted?"
Their original purpose was to pass the time, but it soon turned into a search for the city's secrets—or at the very least, a way out of the throne.
"There's a clue. The master said. "I found the map. ”
"What map?"
"A map of the entire underground city. The master said. "A cleverly designed city that makes the most of all the natural conditions...... That kid was very talented at that. ”
"You mean, if we get out of here, we'll find a way out, right?"
That being said, but in fact, Lu Wu didn't particularly care about escaping. Because it was very obvious that Kaicha Goyat didn't mean to hurt them, otherwise Lu Wu wouldn't be so alive now. Or, at least so far, Lu Wu still couldn't figure out why Kecha Goyat would keep the two of them here. Perhaps even Kecha Goyat himself doesn't know what to do with them.
"But how do you get out of here?"
"You can brute-force it. The master said. "I guess the door in this kind of place can't be very strong......"
"But it's not something we can break, right?" To be honest, after using the magic ring for a long time, you can truly understand how fragile an ordinary human is. Ordinary human beings nowadays, even if they are young men like Lu Wu, can only carry a weight of 100 kilograms, run for 100 meters and 10 seconds, and fight for a speed of 40 or 50 yards. Of course, it's unfair to say that humans evolved brains rather than muscular minions. But in fact, as a weak and useless human being, even if the gate of this place is not strong, it is not something that Lu Wu can destroy.
"If you have a magic ring, you can try it, but we don't have it, so we'll have to find a way to open the door......" said the master. "I'm going to keep looking at the material...... Don't worry, partner, we don't have to use our final plan just yet. ”
Yes, they had a final plan, or rather, they were given one last chance because of Kecha Goat's mistakes.
That was the hospital bed where Lu Wu slept.
Kecha Goyat is a perfect replica of a hospital bed on Earth, as is known to modern earthlings, this type of bed is an X-shaped scissor mechanism that is driven by a manual hydraulic piston.
