Chapter 825: I Can't Live, But I Can't Die Either
"Prisoners of the past to serve as guards for the present?" Wen Wen was naturally a little surprised when he heard such a secret for the first time, but he was only surprised, because this so-called Dark Reef had nothing to do with him at all, "This is quite a new approach, but this ...... How can there be any guarantee that the prisoners who act as guards will not find a way to escape? β
"Hey, hey, hey...... Human boy, how much do you think a man enjoys when he almost dies countless times, and then one day suddenly he becomes a guy who can control the lives of other people? Slark sneered and said, "Although there have been occasional prisoners acting as guards trying to escape from the Dark Reef before, there has never been such a thing since the Celestial Order took over...... Do you know why? β
"Why?"
"Because although the Cangyang Order did not directly send personnel to the Dark Reef, the reason why the Dark Reef is called the Dark Reef is because its location is too dangerous, and the deep trench cannot see the bottom at all. {Sui}{Dream} Ρ{suimΠ΅ng[lΔ}," Slark said, reaching out and tugging at his tattered hood, "And what the Order of the Oceans has done is to seal the exit of the trench with countless outrageously powerful guards, and kill all creatures that come out of it." β
"This ......," Wen Wen was stunned for a moment, and whispered, "This is really a simple and straightforward way...... On the one hand, he has changed from being ruled by life and death to being a ruler who covers the sky with one hand, and on the other hand, he is defeated and killed by attacking the defense line, no matter what, the former is more cost-effective. β
"So, since the fish-man knights of the Order of the Ocean blocked the entrance and exit of the Dark Reef, no...... I think no one had escaped from the Dark Reef before that. Speaking of this, Slark seemed to suddenly realize that he seemed to be a little off-topic, and after coughing dryly, he whispered, "Let's go back to this friend of mine, the guard I told you earlier was actually a criminal in the Dark Reef just like him many years ago, so what he said to my friend was actually a lie." β
"Your friend did what he said?" Gentle asked.
"My friend would like to." Slark had a fierce look on his face, "That damn guard told this friend of mine that he was going to release my friend from his cell and make my friend do what he said earlier...... And when my friend was released, ready to escape from that grim death row, a group of guards suddenly appeared and subdued him in an instant. β
"He was deceived." Gently sighed softly, "The guard didn't want to let him go at all, after all...... It's just teasing him. β
"They're not kidding this friend of mine." Slark's face was full of resentment, and his tone seemed to have a monstrous hatred, "They beat him half to death, and then cursed his body with dark magic, and watched him endure unimaginable pain in the great water pressure and cold darkness, and they didn't give him a chance to kill himself at all, as long as they had time, these damn guards would ...... me This friend of mine threw himself into the electric eel's nest to withstand the high voltage that could cause cardiac arrest, and then when he couldn't hold on anymore and was about to die, he was pulled out and tortured in a new way. β
Although Slark's narrative is far from being colorful, the emotion in it is indelible, and everyone present, including Gentle, has a sense of despair that they can empathize with, that is, a ...... The feeling of despair that you can't live, but you can't die either.
"But at that time, the guard guarding my friend probably didn't expect that one day in the future, he would be cut open by this friend of mine, and then slowly crushed in front of him." A cruel smile appeared on Slark's face, "You don't know, don't talk about this friend of mine, where did I have a very bad nightmare, in that terrible dream, I was alone in a cell with a glass wall, oh my God...... It's just me and a small castle inside, and all the guards can see me at a glance, hey, hey, you know, the Dark Reef is thousands of times worse than this nightmare of mine! β
"And then? Your friend became a guard, didn't he? At this moment, Diagara, who was gentle beside her, suddenly asked softly, "Or else...... How could he seek revenge on the guard who had deceived him? β
"Become a guard? Hey, hey, hey...... Of course not, he didn't want to do such a boring thing. Slark chuckled, "It's been a long time since then, just when this friend of mine has almost given up on his plans to escape, an unintentional opportunity, mind you, a completely unintentional one!" Let him secretly hear an extremely important thing, and this important thing ...... It directly changed his fate! β..
Hearing this, even Wen Wen couldn't stand the words of this salesman in front of him, but he had no choice but to ask the other party, so he could only listen quietly, striving to leave a good impression.
"What's important?"
"In the Dark Reef, there are twelve notorious super criminals, these twelve people have been in the Dark Reef for a long time, probably longer than some guardsββββ you must know that the longest people living in there are those guards, if they can live longer than them, then they can become guards, but these twelve notorious criminals have no choice to act as guards, because they are tired of that place, they want to escape, they want to escape from the strict lockdown of the Cangyang Order!"
"Judging by the results so far, it seems that they have failed." Gentle whispered, "Lord Slark...... Probably not one of the twelve, right? β
"Me? Hey, hey, of course I'm not, those guys are called the Twelve Villains of the Dark Reef, but in the end they're just twelve fools. Slark sneered and said, "They waited for the opportunity to make the escape plan perfect, and all the people who found clues were killed by them, but somehow, their 'perfect' prison escape plan was still ...... by me I mean, this friend of mine stumbled upon it, and most importantly, the twelve idiots didn't find out at all, that my friend had found out about their plan to escape! β
