Chapter 24: The Burning Sky (1)
Ji Chuan pushed open another door, and the passages here seemed endless, and even the doors that carried it were endless. Himekawa felt as if he was walking through a labyrinth, no matter how long he walked ahead, he was just going in circles in circles.
When I opened the door, I saw a mark carved on the opposite wall, which I had carved with a light blade not long ago. Ji Chuan knew he was back to square one. It's a labyrinth, and it's a silent labyrinth.
The walls looked dilapidated, but they were unexpectedly tough, and Himekawa tried to cut through the walls directly with the light blade condensed by his black god, but no matter how hard he tried, he only left a few small nicks on the walls.
Ji Chuan leaned his back against the wall, thinking about why, this looked very incredible, obviously he kept moving forward, how could he still come back to this place? I didn't have a left turn or right to get back to the original point.
It's weird, why is this happening? And this thing can't be blasted open with the black god, it's quite nerve-wracking.
Speaking of which, I am also very afraid of this kind of sealed environment, and I will remember those bad memories when I was a child. Ji Chuan frowned, trying to cut off this thought that suddenly came to mind. But I can't help but think about it.
It was also a basement, a huge underground laboratory, belonging to the Ristuben family, surrounded by pipes flowing with energy sources, and huge machinery running, carrying pieces of experimental materials. And in the middle of the laboratory, there are countless culture tanks, and in each of them, there is a child of a few years old.
The man, always standing at the top, meticulous in a suit and leather shoes, with a scarf lined with rose gold thread, holding a glass of aged wine, condescendingly looked at the experimental culture tank below, and gave all kinds of orders.
Everything is that abominable source nuclear program. That's a plan that shouldn't have happened! It was a gift from the devil. A gift that corrodes people's hearts. Ji Chuan has never understood why anyone is keen on this, it is tantamount to making a deal with the devil, and what he gets is indeed from the devil's malice. The Transformers, the First Generation, the Humans with great power? It sounds very majestic, very domineering, very chic, like a savior, which can put an end to the multipolar situation of the galaxy. It is up to them to unify this galaxy. But only the real person knows how much pain it takes to become a reformer. The pain of the heart being dissected, the pain that goes all the way to the depths of the bone marrow. This is definitely not something that an adult can bear. What's more, the people in this underground laboratory are just children!
The bad memories are like a flood that bursts the embankment, fiercely rushing into Ji Chuan, and those memories that were buried by him back then have now broken through the ground and drilled back into his mind. Accompanied by the desperate sore spot of the year. He didn't understand why these memories were pouring out all of a sudden, but now he had to hold his head and bear the pain of the memories. Pain into the bone marrow.
This is the Black God! There is always a huge price to pay for merging with it, and how many people can't bear the unimaginable pain when they fuse with it and fall into the culture tank.
After a lot of experiments, the man found that the child was the most compatible with the black god, so he sent the child into the cultivation tank and let them hug the demon, kiss each other, and accept the demon's gift. But how can a child endure that? Ji Chuan looked at how many children at that time, they were tortured beyond recognition, and the huge energy of the black god destroyed them from the inside out. At the end of the day, those lab questions can't be considered personal. But Rao was like this, and the man still didn't stop fusing with the black god.
How scared he was at that time, he didn't want to see that scene, so he kept dodging, trying to get away from the man's field of vision. He didn't want to be sacrificed, by an ignorant madman to a devil called power.
Until...... Tiny Ankania was sent into the tank. It was nightmarish*, and that day the sky was dim, without a trace of light, gloomy and terrible.
When he learned that Ankania had been sent to the culture tank, Himekawa couldn't remember how he ended up in the sin-ridden underground laboratory.
The shivering boy curled up in the tank, surrounded by pipes that carried energy sources that broke through his skin and protruded into his body.
The pale blue energy source was running and flowing, and the man was still standing on the heights, watching it all. Until...... Until the woman in the long dress pounced on the culture tank. He really changed his face.
That's Himekawa's mother.
The man hurriedly asked people to go up to stop the woman, but it was not what Ji Chuan thought, worried about his wife, but worried that the woman would recklessly sabotage his experiment!
In the end, it was not stopped, and a huge explosion swept through everyone present. The woman disappeared with Ankania without a trace.
A blinding light pierced the lab. Ji Chuan couldn't control himself anymore, and at that moment, Ji Chuan, who was carried away by anger, jumped directly onto the experimental field, and the blazing light became a dazzling blade of light in his hand, piercing those people fiercely and nailing them to the ground. That was the first time he had killed someone. He couldn't remember many of the details himself, except that the underground lab was abandoned because he had almost demolished it.
Then he left the family. Changed his name to the first two words of his mother's name as a way to remember his mother. Ankania was fine, his mother saved him and took the embrace of death with herself instead of him. Now he is living a good life.
Suddenly woke up, Ji Chuan, who was soaked in sweat all over his body, came back to his senses, and in just a few minutes, he was actually caught in his own memories. But now is not the time to look back on the past, and we still have to find a way to get out.
After thinking about it, he decided to break in again, if he returned here again, it would be that he really deserved to stay here.
Without any hesitation, Ji Chuan directly opened the door and broke out, behind the door was a straight passage, pitch black, without any light source.
This time, it did not illuminate the way forward with light, as in the past. He allowed himself to run in the dark, running by feeling.
