Chapter 2096: Ash Annihilation at Dawn (28)

"Wow!" Hearing that scream, the white bear man shuddered with fright: "What should be, shouldn't it be some kind of inhumane experiment here?"

"Inhumane experiments? Well, that's probably what it looks like technically. Pasiva walked on as if nothing had happened, joking with Elaine: "What's the matter, are you scared? It's not too late to turn back, right? Maybe we'll lock you up and fry you alive like a lab animal?"

"No, it won't...... Elaine whispered.

"Whew. Pasiva sneered, but did not answer. Instead, he asked Elaine a question: "Do you want to bring all the changes of clothes you have brought?"

"Uh, uh...... The White Bear Man replied vaguely.

"That's good. Come along. There are rooms specially prepared for you. Pasiva continued on his way.

Elaine followed the Knights of the Round Table uneasily, making her way through the floor-to-ceiling concrete hallway that was solid and impermeable. There really isn't anything here, except for the industrial wall lamps enclosed with steel wires on one side of the corridor, and the entire corridor is a cold, old concrete structure that feels like an underground prison.

"This was originally an underground bomb shelter. Pasiwa continued walking and said casually, "There was really no shortage of underground facilities like this in Cairo before. It's funny that Africa doesn't have any major wars, but this country is worried all day long. ＂

Elaine did not answer. The musty and damp smell coming from around this underground facility made him uncomfortable, and he felt the urge to vomit. There seemed to be a faint smell of blood and sewers in the air, which irritated the nose of the white bear people.

"It's here. Pasiva stopped in front of a room and pushed open the iron door of the room. There were other similar rooms about ten yards away from the iron gate, and the corridor stretched almost endlessly deeper, and God knows how many of them there were in this underground bomb shelter.

Elaine glanced inside the room, it was really no different from a cell, it should be said that it was worse than a normal cell, there were no beds, no toilets, not even windows, the only ventilation equipment was a small window with an iron barricade on the heavy iron door.

In addition to the small table and chairs on one side of the room, there is a long steel table that resembles an operating table, and there are thick leather straps on it to tie hands and feet. Is this the rhythm of making people lie down, tied up and tortured?

"What, what's this for?" Elaine asked, clenching her fists and a little nervous.

"I want you to lie down and tie you up. Pasiva said coldly, jokingly, "Then put on the virtual somatosensory helmet on the console and feel the pain and fear." ＂

The white bear man shuddered: "What, what?!"

"Dad should have given you the first stage of special training, right?" asked Pasiva with a sneer, "and then you succeeded in controlling the beast consciousness in your body and maintaining your humanity while you became a shark. That's right, right?"

"Uh-huh. The White Bear Man nodded tremblingly.

"Now that the first phase has passed without incident, this is the second phase. To inherit [that], you have to overcome not only the bestiality and madness in yourself, but even the fear in yourself. Without a strong enough spirit, [that] will swallow you up in an instant. ------Let me ask you, what is the thing you are most afraid of in your life?"

"Well, I'm afraid...... I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of ghosts," Elaine recalled, struggling to count her fingers, "I'm afraid of pain." I'm afraid to see blood and internal organs, and so on. Bugs, bugs are also scary, especially spiders and cockroaches. ＂

"Oh my God. You're really afraid of everything...... Pasivara made a long face: "Just tell me what you [are not afraid of], and I'll take those out of the system." ＂

The White Bear Man suddenly stopped talking.

After being stunned for half a second, he played with his fingers and said shyly: "Yes, it's special when my father is here, and I am very relieved." Constantine can also ...... ＂

"What a little kid who knows how to hide behind others...... Pasiva muttered under his breath as he typed something into the console on the table. After setting it up, he said, "It's all set." In the midst of your nightmares, everything terrible will appear randomly. And those things that make you feel at ease------ rest assured, they will never come out. ＂

A delicate expression of helplessness appeared on the white bear man's face.

Pasiva walked over to the long operating table-like platform and took out a metal helmet with a large number of wires attached to it, "Put this on, and you'll experience a horrific nightmare that lasts for eight hours. As long as the time is not up, as long as you are not dying, you will never wake up from the nightmare, and you will never get any salvation.

Some people will have a nervous breakdown and become crazy during this training, and some people will be so scared that they will not dare to dream again in this life. This is the most rigorous exercise of willpower, and even the few elites of the Knights of Great Britain can survive it.

And you, do you have the courage to challenge this [Endless Nightmare Mode]?"

Elaine swallowed.

"I won't force you, if you think you can't do it, you can just turn around and run away. Pasiva sneered, "But the ugly things come first, and I think it's better not to try this." You coward probably won't last even ten minutes, and in an instant you'll be scared crazy, scared into incontinence, crying and begging us to stop the system. Do you know why I would ask you to prepare a change of clothes and plenty of clean gauze?"

Elaine shook her head.

"To allow you to use gauze as a diaper, of course. ＂

Elaine's face suddenly turned red: "You want, you want to wear that kind of thing?!"

"Absolutely. It is not uncommon for knights who come here to train to be frightened and incontinent. Even in the virtual world, excessive mental stimulation can affect your physical body in the real world. The Knight of the Round Table looked at Elaine with a mocking face: "How many times do you have to be incontinent before you finish training?" ＂

The white bearman's face turned even redder. He now finally knew what was going on with the sewer-like smell that was vaguely permeating the underground training center, and what was going on with the heart-rending screams that came from time to time. Pasiva said that this place was like an execution ground, a place for inhumane experiments, and strictly speaking, it was not wrong at all. It's just that the people who come here to receive [abuse] are voluntary. These people are deliberately trying to accept self-abuse in order to make themselves stronger.

Are the knights of Great Britain all insane?

Or are these people supermen with iron wills?

"I, I don't know...... The white bear man hesitated: "This, is this really necessary, is it necessary?

"Are you underestimating us?" Hearing Elaine say this, Pasiva became angry for a moment: "Do you know? Sitting in a high-voltage chair for up to an hour was tortured by electric shocks, lying on a needle pad full of sharp needles and for an entire night of pain, avoiding vital parts, piercing the body with a sharp stake and hanging upside down to meet and survive the terrifying nightmare.

In order to attain great strength far beyond mortals, it is necessary to first endure great suffering that far exceeds mortals, and to have a tenacious spirit that is far beyond mortals. If you can't even do such a small thing, why do you think you can continue to get stronger??"

"Well, it's scary...... ＂

"It's much better now that you're able to get a similar effect just by exercising with equipment, without risking your life to meet nightmares and be tested. Pasiva added: "If I am to judge, your generation is incredibly weak compared to your predecessors. Relying on this broken machine to evade dangerous training, thinking that this way you can become stronger. A group of weak people who are afraid of death should be knights, quit the group. ＂

Although it sounded really scary, Elaine vaguely felt that the other party's words were right------ at least, a large part of the content, was right.

"It's up to you. Pasiva urged, "Decide quickly." I'm so busy that I can't afford to leave work and wait here all day. Dad has already said that if you decide not to do this cultivation, then there will be no more cultivation in the future. You can leave on your own, and he won't teach you anything. You will never be entitled to inherit [that] power. It's hilarious that Dad would take a fancy to a naïve imp like you and think you have a chance to inherit [that]? It seems to me that you will not be qualified to inherit [that] for another thousand years. ＂

The White Bear Man was silent. He thought about it for a long time, struggled for a long time, and then finally spoke: "I, I do it." ＂

"Are you sure?" continued to threaten Paseva, "you will be frightened by the illusions created by this machine again and will be incontinent, and you will be disgraced to the point of no return? You will be frightened crazy, you will become crazy or stupid, your brain will burn out, and you will never return to normal??? Do you really want to continue knowing that the stakes are so great?"

"Uh-huh...... Elaine replied in a low voice, "How do I begin?"

"Think for yourself. The Knight of the Round Table continued to walk out the door with a wicked smile: "Then you can begin." The door locks automatically when closed and is impossible to open in less than eight hours. The virtual somatosensory helmet starts on its own after wearing it, and it is impossible to actively stop the simulation unless your vital signs reach a very dangerous state. ＂

"Leather, what's the belt for?" Elaine asked, looking at the belt on the table.

"Tie you up. Pasiva replied indifferently, "Tie your hands and feet with a belt." ＂

"Huh?!"
