Chapter 70: Fear Descends (38)
Yan Yuchen didn't expect Ye Chen to say this, so he couldn't help but ask: "Are you really not a trialist?" She wasn't worried that Yechen wouldn't understand the word "trialist."
Regardless of whether Yechen is a trialist or not, she has been in charge of the supernatural research laboratory for seven years, and there are many trialists in the special team, and it is impossible for Yechen not to know a little about those awakened people who are "gifted".
Yechen smiled and didn't respond to the question, just asked, "How is it, do you feel that my proposal is feasible?" β
Yan Yuchen glanced at Yechen deeply and said, "I need to gather some information." β
Yechen didn't urge, nodded, and said, "Okay, no problem, this matter is not in a hurry." β
Yan Yuchen nodded, lit another cigarette, took a puff, and the cyan smoke exhaled, enveloping her, and after the smoke dissipated, the whole person disappeared.
Yechen looked at where Yan Yuchen was originally standing, and said abruptly: "You are surprised? β
Tang Wu didn't expect that standing behind Yechen would make her perceive her expression, her heart thumped a few times, and she said, "Yes, I didn't expect the A-level awakened to be so powerful." β
Yechen said: "It's just the accumulation of time and resources, and you can become so powerful." β
Tang Wu didn't know if Ye Chen's words were comforting or true, she could only try to make her tone a little lighter, and said, "Really? That's great. β
"Alright, the disturbing creatures are gone, and we'll move on with this operation." Yechen said, turning around and walking towards the storage room next to the hall of Minggui Hotel.
It was a small storage room with some miscellaneous items piled up inside, and after a little cleaning, an iron door appeared on the floor. Yechen pulled the buckle and slammed it hard, and with a piercing squeak, the iron door was opened, and it slammed into the ground with a loud sound that seemed to make the whole building shake.
When the dust cleared, Yechen said, "Let's go, go in." I didn't wait for Tang Wu, and walked down first.
Tang Wu hesitated slightly, but still followed.
Behind the iron gate was a rough stone staircase, more than ten meters deep underground, and Tang Wu finally walked down the last step.
Yechen fumbled around the wall for a while, as if he had pressed a switch, and after a few flashes, the light came on.
"Yes, I didn't expect the lighting system here to work after so long." Yechen said, looking in a good mood.
"...... here," Tang asked as she looked around, "what kind of place is this?" β
They seemed to have come to a dormitory, or a simple workshop, a pharmacy laboratory, or something like that, in short, a few wire beds in the corner, a small car window in the corner, and glassware on the laboratory table in the middle of the room, which made the place look cluttered.
"This is the first station of the 1414 Society." Ye Chen stretched out his hand, caressed the experimental table full of scratches and corrosion marks, and said, "Seven years ago, our group of people set up the 1414 supernatural experiment alarm hotline here, did you see that old-fashioned telephone?" At that time, we took turns as operators, each responsible for twelve hours, receiving calls from the citizens of Ryan City and solving paranormal events for them. β
Looking at Yechen's look of reminiscing about the good life in middle school, Tang Wu said cooperatively: "It's really an unforgettable memory. β
"yes, unforgettable." Yechen walked over to a cabinet, slammed the door open, and said, "Liya, I've come to see you." β
Tang Yu walked over and took a look, there was a skeleton in the cabinet, and the skeleton should be a woman. The girl had been brutally tortured before her death, the bones of her limbs were obviously broken, several ribs were broken, her skull was broken, and there were several holes, as if she had been wedged by nails.
"It's ...... Your friend? Tang asked asked.
"yes, it's my friend, my best friend." Yechen fell into the memory, "We were a combat team at the beginning...... On missions together, against ghosts, she saved me several times, and I saved her with my life. In that turbulent era, we supported each other and struggled to survive. β
"Later...... What happened? β
Yechen looked at the skeleton and said, "Leah, if you want to continue to maintain the peace in Ryan City, then let's work together and persevere; If you want to destroy the city and harness greater power, we can join the Shadow Order together. But why did you betray me and plan to sacrifice me to the evil gods?! β
Silence, deathly silence permeated this small studio, and after a while, Yechen calmed down and said, "Although she betrayed me, she is still my good friend." With that, Yechen turned his head and looked at Tang Wu.
Under Yechen's cold gaze, Tang Wu didn't know what to say, so she had to say sneeringly: "Really? It's really ......" she couldn't say what it was.
Yechen retracted her gaze and said, "Because she taught me how to survive the trialists. β
Tang Wu thought that Ye Chen's words were ironic, and she didn't know what to say for a while, and in a trance, she seemed to have fallen into a dream, everything around her became illusory, and her brain was very clear. Tang Wu looked left and right, it was still this studio, it was still so chaotic, but there was a lot of life, it seemed that someone was living here, and there was no dead and silent feeling just now.
Yechen, wearing a cheap solid-color T-shirt and shabby jeans, stood in front of the cabinet, in the cabinet, a girl with long blond hair was tied back, her limbs were unnaturally twisted, and the marketing was skinny, only a pair of eyes, black and bright as stars in the sky, and the calm contained thunderous power.
"Why?!" Yechen, who still looked very immature, asked, his tone full of irrepressible anger.
"Didn't I say that?" The girl who was tied behind her back said in a calm tone, "According to my speculation, if I sacrifice you to the 'Gate' and get the blessing of the 'Gate', I have a seventy percent chance of becoming the first awakened person to be promoted to A-rank." So I did what I planned, but it failed. β
"Liar!" Immature Yechen didn't believe the girl's statement at all, "You're lying to me again!" β
"No, I didn't lie to you, that's what I thought."
In a trance, it seemed that she had skipped a paragraph, Tang Wu condensed again, and saw that the immature Yechen was holding a nail and a hammer in her hand, she suppressed her anger and said, "Liya, do you remember, this is what you taught me." β
The girl who was tied behind her back, that is, Lia, had obviously been tortured, and not a single piece of skin on her body was intact, either covered with whip marks or burned to black coal.
Liya struggled, glanced at the spike in Yechen's hand, and said, "Of course I remember, we designed to frame Zhixing, who has the incorruptible body of Vajra, and drove nine nails into his skull, imprisoning his soul in the iron nail forever. β
"Good." The immature Yechen said in a slightly trembling voice, "Now I will use the same method against you, as the price you paid for betraying me. β
Leah curled the corners of her mouth, as if smiling, and said calmly: "Very good, let's do it!" β
The immature Yechen pursed her lips tightly, stepped forward, and stood an iron nail full ten centimeters long on top of Liya's head, holding a hammer and hammering it hard.
"Ahh Leah howled miserably, a cursed iron nail capable of nailing souls for eternity, and she cried out loudly, "Good! Very good! Remember! The trialists are despicable and shameless! β
As a powerful Awakened One, even though her skull was pierced by an iron nail, Ria still had a clear consciousness.
Under the second nail, Lia shouted again in a hoarse voice, "Remember! Staying alive is the ultimate winner! β
The third nail was nailed: "Remember! In order to achieve the goal, you must do whatever it takes! β
The fourth nail was nailed: "Remember! Any trace of weakness and goodness, tyranny and evil, will become your fatal flaw! β
Under the fifth iron nail, Liya was already on the verge of dying, she looked at Yechen gently, and said weakly: "Chen, don't believe anyone in the future." β
Hearing this, the immature Yechen threw down the hammer and nails, and in a panic pulled out the five iron nails nailed to the top of Liya's head, threw herself into Liya's arms, and said with a crying voice: "Liya, Liya, I have forgiven you...... You...... Hate me? β
Leah smiled relievedly and said, "Since it is over, I am willing to lose the bet." β
"Since you are over, you are willing to gamble and lose." Tang Wu muttered this sentence.
This sentence is circulated among the trialists of the seventh space, which means: whether it is active or passive, willing or unwilling, since you have entered the seventh space and become a trialist, killing each other and struggling to survive in one task world after another, then no matter whether you get great strength or endure endless pain, whether you wantonly kill or be brutally killed, you have no regrets.
Since you are down, you are willing to gamble and lose, this sentence is said by many trialists, but in fact, if you really lose, especially when you lose your life, who can be willing? Who doesn't have grievances? Now it seems that this girl named Liya is one of the few people who is really willing to gamble and lose.
