Chapter 24: The Black Moon
Headache, good headache!
Shabai, who woke up from a coma, involuntarily rubbed his forehead, which was so painful that it seemed to be about to crack. It was as if he had finally woken up from a long dream, slowly opening his eyelids, which were still a little heavy.
Surrounded by silver-white walls, he was lying on a white hospital bed, with an infusion needle inserted in his right wrist, and a bottle of white liquid hanging at the head of the bed was still dripping into his body.
A man's voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "Mr. Sha, you are awake." ”
Sha Bai looked up for a moment, there was no one in the room, and the sound came from a loudspeaker hanging on the wall.
"Who are you, where is this?" Sha Bai heard his voice a little hoarse.
"Mr. Sha, you are now at the testing base of the Black Moon Society. I'm the voice machine qì person number 37. The person in charge answers your questions. The voice coming from the wall seemed very mechanical, without any emotion, as if it was a machine talking.
"What are you doing, why did you get me here?"
"Mr. Sha, we took you out of that prison in Hechuan Province and brought you to this training base in order for you to take part in an entrance test to join the Black Moon Society. The Black Moon Society is a global organization dedicated to global environmental protection. ”
"Initiation test?" Sha Bai asked.
"Yes, Black Moon will be looking for spiritual cultivators all over the world to be candidates for membership. You are a spiritual practitioner and have what it takes to be a candidate, so you have been accepted for the entrance test. ”
Sha Bai was silent for a moment, "How did you get me out of that prison, and how can I go back?"
A voice sounded from the corner, "Mr. Sha, the Black Moon Society has thousands of members around the world, and many of them are very influential figures in the real world. Some problems that are impossible to solve in the eyes of ordinary people can be easily handled by the Black Moon Society. It's not that hard to get you out of that prison.
If you can pass the guò entrance test and join us, we can make you quietly return to that little prison as if you never left there. Of course, if you can't or don't want to live with your old identity anymore, we can also give you a new identity to return to society. ”
Sha Bai didn't say anything for a long time, and then asked, "What happens if I decide not to take your entrance test?"
"If you decide not to take the test, you'll be eliminated outright. "The voice was calm.
"Eliminate me?" Sha Bai asked.
"Yes, that's how you can understand it. There was still no emotion in that voice.
Sha Bai gasped, "That is to be sure to join? Can you tell me, what do you do? What does it mean to join you?"
"First of all, you don't necessarily have to join us yet, you are only a candidate member now, and you can only become a full member if you pass the guò test.
The Black Moon Society is committed to global environmental protection, and as for the specific business, you can learn about it slowly after joining the club. Once you become a full member, you will perform several tasks for the Black Moon Society each year. If the task is completed, there will be a reward. There are various rewards, such as cash, diamonds, gold, spirit stones, and so on. ”
"Spirit stone?" Sha Bai was taken aback. He knows the rarity and rarity of spirit stones, this Black Moon will actually have spirit stones?
"Yes, Spirit Stone. That machine-like voice actually seemed to have a hint of pride. "The Black Moon Society has the ability to provide spirit stones to members to help them improve their spiritual cultivation realm. Now there are almost no spiritual resources to be found in the outside world, and you should know this as a spiritual cultivator. For spiritual cultivators, joining the Black Moon Society is definitely the right choice. You were asked to take the test in a passive state. In fact, there were a lot of people who took the test and came to us on their own initiative. ”
Sha Bai took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He sorted out his thoughts for a moment, and then asked, "You guys, how did you find out that I was a spiritual power cultivator?"
The voice paused, seeming to be stuck, before saying, "I'm sorry Mr. Sha, but the answer to this question is not recorded in my system, so I can't answer you." ”
"May I think about it?" Sha Bai asked, bowing his head and being silent for a moment.
"Yes, but you only have thirty minutes to think about it. After more than thirty minutes, the elimination of your program will start automatically. Another thing to remind you is that if you decide not to join, not only will you be eliminated, but your relatives and friends in human society, their quality of life will also be affected. ”
"Are you threatening me?" said Sha Bai angrily.
"Yes. This is a threat. The voice was unusually calm, and there seemed to be no sign of shame. "Before you start thinking about it, there's another thing to remind you. Based on our past experience, there will be candidates who will use those thirty minutes to find a way to escape. But you can't escape from this secret room you're in. Moreover, drastic acts of vandalism to the structure of the chamber may trigger an early elimination procedure for you. There have been some candidates who have died before because of this, and I hope you don't make this mistake. ”
After saying this, the sound on the wall stopped abruptly.
Sha Bai got up from the bed, ripped off the needle in his hand, and began to study the room carefully.
After a few minutes, he gave up on the idea of escaping.
It's really unlikely, the room has no windows, and the walls, floor, and ceiling seem to be made of some kind of alloy. Sha Bai tried to punch the wall, but there was no response, and there was no dent at all. This surprised him a little, with his current punch power, even if it was a concrete wall, he could make a hole.
And, deep down, that threat to relatives and friends has actually crushed Shabai.
The ability shown by the black moon made Sha Bai a little frightened, after all, being able to get a person out of prison quietly is definitely not something that ordinary forces can do.
Looking back now, my case, the over-defense of the non-routine verdict, and the inexplicable transfer to prison may all have been secretly arranged by Black Moon. The other party is scheming, and undoubtedly has great energy.
Sha Bai thought that before he figured out how strong Black Moon was, he must not put his relatives and friends in danger in ignorance. Agree to take the test first. After figuring out the details of the other party, slowly find another opportunity to break away from the other party's control.
Moreover, the name Black Moon instantly reminded Sha Bai of what Ku Linfei said to Tan Fei at the airport,
"You Black Moon, you know how to rob!"
This Black Moon has gathered so many spiritual cultivators, and it is likely to be the same organization as the Black Moon that Lin Fei mentioned! Lin Fei's matter seems to have suddenly revealed a clue!
Sha Bai raised his head and said to the wall, "Think about it, I'll take the test!"
The voice from the corner came again: "Okay, Mr. Sha. Welcome to the test!First of all, take this pill. ”
There were a few rattling sounds, and on the wall opposite the window, a small plate suddenly stretched out, and on the plate was a small pale green pill, the size of a finger's belly, and next to it was a glass of water.
Sha Bai looked at the pill and hesitated, "What is this?"
A voice rang out from the wall, "Mr. Sha, don't worry, this pill is an antidote. Later, the space in this room will be filled with some kind of gas, and if you take the pill, the gas will not cause you damage. If you don't take the pills, these gases will get rid of you. ”
Sha Bai smiled bitterly, Black Moon's actions can be described as leaky. In this case, no matter whether what the other party said is true or not, you can only take the pill first. He reached for the pill and swallowed it with his head up.
After swallowing the pill, there was another rattle on the opposite wall, and a black screen suddenly protruded from the wall.
The screen flickered a few times, and a black semicircular moon began to appear, and the half-moon emitted an eerie black metallic luster. The luster was not dazzling, but it was full of a strange sense of power, which was breathtaking.
"Welcome, testers!" Suddenly a loud noise came from the loudspeaker on the wall, this time changing to a voice that seemed to be playing a pre-recorded sound.
"Next, you're going to take part in the Black Moon Initiation Test. The test will take place in an enclosed space.
The space is full of aura, and we will also distribute spirit stones to each participant. In short, this test is an excellent opportunity for spiritual power cultivators to cultivate and improve! Each of you must work hard to cultivate during the one-year test and use every qiē method to improve your spiritual power realm! That is, you must use the spiritual power in the environment and the spirit stones distributed to cultivate, and you can also hunt other candidates and snatch other people's spirit stones to cultivate! There are no rules and restrictions!"
"In the test space, there is a strange plant called "Moon Lingzhi". At the end of the one-year test, candidates who hold the Moon Lingzhi will be selected as a member by the Black Moon, and will be rewarded, each Lingzhi will be rewarded with ten spirit stones! Holding two will reward twenty spirit stones, and so on!"
"At the end of the test, those who do not have Ganoderma lucidum in their hands will be considered a failure!
"Each test subject is given a standard set of equipment before departure. The equipment includes a map of the testing space, a picture of the "Moon Reishi", five spirit stones, a small amount of food and water, and a dispensing weapon and a mask.
Masks are meant to conceal their identities and can be worn by anyone who does not want to reveal their true identity to other candidates in this testing environment. The weapon options will appear on the screen later, and candidates can choose their own options.
Now that the test rules have been introduced, good luck to everyone!"
As soon as the words on the wall fell, pictures of some weapons appeared on the screen.
There are many types of weapons, all of which are common cold weapons, such as swords, guns, swords, crossbows, armor shields, etc., and there are buttons under each weapon for selection.
Sha Bai stared at the weapons for a moment, then pressed the select button under one of the armors.
Sha Bai has always practiced boxing, and his fist is his weapon. Swords, guns, swords, halberds and other blades, Sha Bai practiced relatively little, so he simply chose an armor. The armor was seen on the screen, which looked like a metal vest, which could only cover the upper body, and there was no protection from the arms and waist down. The armor is black and gives off a faint metallic sheen, and the defense should be good.
After learning the "Bitter Bamboo Forest" from Gray Shadow, after more than half a year of practice, Sha Bai can already transform sword qi from his fingertips, and he also has a certain amount of power.
After Sha Bai pressed the button on the selection screen, a voice came from the wall again, "Mr. Sha Bai, you have chosen the armor, and the equipment will be issued to you after entering the testing area." After an hour, the entire tester will depart for the testing area. Now, get back to bed and get ready. ”
Dozens of minutes later, there was a burst of smoke from the corner.
At first, Sha Bai, who was lying on the bed, tried to hold his breath, but after holding on for nearly ten minutes, he couldn't help but start to gasp, and the smoke he inhaled immediately made him start to feel drowsy, and finally slowly fell asleep.
