Chapter 7: The Calmest Dying
"Chu Cheng, although you are out of self-defense, it is always an indisputable fact that you hurt others. According to village rules, all villagers who commit gross negligence are subject to confinement, ranging from two to five days. The exact length of time is decided by the village management. ”
Brian led Chu Cheng into a prison-like metal facility, drank off the escorted members of the law enforcement team, and then spoke.
When Chu Cheng heard this, his black jade-like eyes calmly looked directly into Brian's eyes, and then nodded.
Chu Cheng's calmness made Brian a little stunned, and he subconsciously avoided his gaze and said, "Chu Cheng, over there, the village chief, I will help you intercede." On your mother's side, I will also help you take care of it, don't worry. ”
"Then please Uncle Brian." Chu Cheng's tone was still calm.
Brian nodded, pushing open the iron door of the confinement chamber, and a smell of rancid blood suddenly wafted out.
Chu Cheng saw that inside the iron gate, it was a small space no more than one meter five high, and only one square meter inside.
Despite the strong smell of blood, the walls of the confinement chamber were made up of an ivory-white metal with a texture like warm jade, and there was not the slightest trace of blood in sight.
Chu Cheng knew that this milky white metal was called a "construct", a material derived from ancient civilizations, and it was extremely strong.
"Chu Cheng, you must hold on. I'll find a way to get you out, I promise! Brian patted Chu Cheng's shoulder hard and said with a full sense of anger.
"Uncle Brian, I believe in you." Chu Cheng showed a calm smile, and then said slowly, "Otherwise...... I have at least ten ways to kill you and escape from here. ”
"Chu Cheng, you ......" Brian was stunned, he naturally didn't believe Chu Cheng's words, but he still shivered inexplicably.
"I'm kidding, Uncle Brian." Who knew that Chu Cheng suddenly showed a "shy" smile in the next moment, "A child like me, since he has arrived here, he is not at your disposal." ”
"......," Brian looked pained.
"Don't tell my mother about this, I'll explain it to her myself when I come out of here." Chu Cheng finally explained, and then bent down and walked into the confinement room.
"Boom!" The iron door behind him closed heavily, and darkness suddenly squeezed in from all directions, overwhelmingly drowning Chu Cheng.
However, in the next second, the ring on Chu Cheng's hand suddenly lit up with a faint light, and the shimmer pierced the darkness, reflecting the confinement room in a hazy light.
Chu Cheng is not worried about his mother.
Although her mother is an outsider, in the past ten years, she has been showing kindness to the villagers, and her reputation in the village is extremely high, even the village chief and others dare not harm for no reason.
What's more, there's Brian......
Chu Cheng knew that Brian's feelings for his mother were real, and if someone really wanted to harm his mother, he would try his best to protect his mother.
But Chu Cheng also knew that Brian would not rescue him, and would not even send someone to bring him food and water.
Because just when Brian left, Chu Cheng felt a trace of imperceptible malice from him......
It's just a hint, but it's enough to tell.
Just now, Brian had a murderous intent.
He wanted to get rid of himself by the hand of the village chief and lock himself up in a confinement cell.
"Do you think you can be with your mother if you get rid of me? Uncle Brian, you're naïve. Chu Cheng shook his head helplessly.
It's so quiet in the confinement room, it's suffocatingly quiet!
Chu Cheng sat cross-legged, feeling the darkness squeezing in from all directions with his skin.
At this moment, Chu Cheng seemed to be floating in the boundless, pitch-black void, and the only thing that could make him clearly feel that he was alive was his own heartbeat and breathing.
Recalling the bits and pieces of his previous life, Chu Cheng's heart became more and more calm, and he was immersed in meditation.
The second day of confinement......
The biting cold in the confinement room made Chu Cheng's meditative state gradually difficult to maintain.
After sitting in the dark for more than ten hours, Chu Cheng felt that his body was as tired as lead, and the numbness and itching from his limbs were like poisonous insects.
Chu Chengmao stood up with his waist bent and stretched his body in the small space before sitting back on the ground.
"Sure enough, there was no one to deliver the food, and it seems that my judgment of Brian was right." Chu Cheng muttered in a low voice, and there was a lightness in his tone that seemed to be an outsider.
Soon, Chu Cheng re-entered the state of meditation, but the object of his meditation this time was no longer the experience of his previous life, but some questions that had been bothering him for a long time.
What is the meaning of the emergence and disappearance of Wei?
Where did the luck that sheltered him come from?
Is this universe through which his soul pierces the universe in the coffin of Azathoth?
Countless thoughts were born and died in Chu Cheng's mind, and it was not until his limbs lost sensation again that Chu Cheng had to withdraw from the meditation state.
"I've been locked up here for more than twenty-four hours, right?" Chu Cheng moved his dry throat, and found that his voice was a little hoarse.
If ordinary people are locked up in such a place, not to mention the problems of food, cold and water, the dark and confined environment alone can drive their spirits to the brink of collapse.
But it is obvious that Chu Cheng is not a normal person!
At this moment, he is like a bystander, a doctor conducting an interesting experiment, actually meditating while consciously recording the changes in his body.
Fifty hours passed, the pain in Chu Cheng's limbs had reached the point of a knife, and a hot anger began to entrench in his chest, Chu Cheng's spirit became more and more difficult to concentrate, and all kinds of chaotic thoughts began to appear uncontrollably in his mind.
Seventy hours passed, Chu Cheng's body temperature began to drop continuously, and an indescribable violence rushed to his mind along his limbs, as if he wanted to push Chu Cheng's mind into the bottomless abyss.
But even so, Chu Cheng is still like an old monk who has settled down, sticking to a little clarity in his heart, and still recording it in his heart.
Finally, after a hundred hours, Chu Cheng's body reached its limit, his heartbeat gradually became weak, his organ function began to fail, his brain fell into shock due to lack of oxygen, and his thinking and consciousness quickly blurred.
"Sure enough, is my body still unable to hold up first? From this point of view, my spirit is still very strong. ”
Chu Cheng leaned weakly against the wall of the confinement room, and the faint light from the ring reflected his facial expression a little ...... Crazy!
At this moment, the ring suddenly burst into brilliant brilliance!
At this moment, Chu Cheng has fallen into a dying state before death. However, when he felt the change in the ring, he showed a fanatical smile like a return to the light.
Chu Cheng knew that he had won the bet!
