Qiu Shishi raised one hand and pressed my arm, he slowly raised his head, his deep eyes looked at me, even if the beads of sweat brushed over his eyes, and even seeped into his eyes, they could not make his eyes resolute and collapse, he didn't say anything to me, just looked at me, but I could feel that he was now trying his best to suppress and endure.

I moved my hand to his face in distress, and my heart was flustered.

What to do, will he be okay?

"Actually, it's nothing," Fang Shan casually threw away the needle and clapped his hands, "It's similar to a tranquilizer or something, but the effect will be better than a tranquilizer, no matter how powerful Captain Qiu is, it's just a mortal fetus with the naked eye, and he can't stop the bad luck, and he can't stop these drugs that humans come up with by themselves." ”

I could barely control my hands from shaking, full of thoughts about killing this Fang Shan, but I restrained myself, and took Qiu Shishi into my arms very gently, and then glared at Fang Shan: "You, what do you want to do?" ”

Fang Shan chuckled: "Don't you want to know what is going on in this place secretly, I'll let you take a good look now." ”

I don't know what he did, the wall next to me "boomed".

At Fang Shan's signal, I put my hand on the wall vigilantly, and with a strong push, the wall was pushed open by me, and in front of me was a hall.

It's really big, there are a lot of doctors in white coats, and there are a lot of instruments on the middle table, but those instruments are very miscellaneous, there are modern high-tech things, like smoking utensils, test tubes, machines with all kinds of wires, but there are also magic weapons handed down from the ancestors, compasses, tools for drawing rune paper, and various magic instruments, and there is a cage with a rooster on the ground, which is simply a merger of science and religion.

On both sides of the hall, there are white rooms, the rooms are connected to the hall by transparent glass, so that you can see the situation in the room, and in each room there are two beds, and on the beds lie patients, and they all wear an iron hat on their heads, and the iron hat is connected to the wire, leading to a square machine.

I counted, and there were twelve patients in all.

And on the innermost wall of the hall, there is a Bagua map with a diameter of two meters, and after staring at that gossip map for a long time, I still feel that it is turning, and I don't know if it is really turning, or the sequelae I just left in the octagonal room, because I am still dizzy now.

"Miss Ban, please." Fang Shan said "please", but he threw away the needle and held a gun in his hand, which was aimed at Qiu Shishi.

I glanced at him in annoyance, and after twisting the neck of a dangling living dead to the other side, I wrapped the enemy's arm around my shoulder, and put force on my feet and waist at the same time, and supported the wall with one hand, and it took a lot of effort to lift the enemy poet up...... This guy is too heavy.

The two of us staggered out of the octagonal room and into the hall, and at the same time, one of the doctors also came out, and it was not Dr. Lu.

"You're welcome here." Dr. Lu bowed to us like a gentleman, straightened up and looked around, "I'm honored to introduce you here." ”

"This will be the greatest research in the world!"

As soon as these words fell, the iron caps on the heads of the twelve patients lit up, and they all suddenly convulsed, and then they opened their eyes one by one, and let out a bitter howl, and they struggled in pain, but their hands and feet were bound by iron bars, and there was also a stick fixed to them on their waists, no matter how much they struggled, they could not escape.

But judging by their protruding eyeballs, bulging tendons, and their fingernails cutting their hands into a bloody blur, they are suffering beyond measure.

After a few minutes of this, a tentacle stretched out from the machine next to it, and the tentacle was a bit like a straw, and when it was sprayed out, the patient squirted out from the tip of the tentacle.

No, it's the soul of the patient, but the patient is not dead, it's the living soul!

"This is the living soul," Dr. Lu confirmed my conjecture, "Actually, the strength of a person is not the body, but the soul, and through the stimulation of the soul, a person will become strong, and even more," he said cautiously, "it can also have spiritual power." ”

He looked at the Qiu poet who was supported by me: "I think no one knows better than Captain Qiu, nowadays, there are fewer and fewer capable people, ignorant ordinary human beings because of fear, mutilated countless capable magicians, so that they were invaded by foreign enemies, and almost couldn't even keep their own country, and now many really capable families have declined or even become extinct, everyone believes in those street liars, how ridiculous!" ”

"But it doesn't matter," he added, "as long as our experiments can be successful, we can create batch after batch of capable people, and restore the most glorious era of our sorcerers five hundred years ago!" ”

He fantasized about that and raised his hands excitedly.

And in the white room, the nurse doing the experiment also took a red silk thread to touch the living soul held by the tentacles, whenever the red silk thread touched the living soul, I could faintly see that there was a thin energy into the living soul, which was not a pleasure, just watch the living soul make a more painful sound than in the body.

The pain from the soul is definitely greater than that of the body.

Those living souls were fixed in tentacles and could not escape, but their bodies were twisted and deformed in the struggle, elongated and expanded, and could explode like over-inflated balloons at any time.

When I saw this, I subconsciously hugged the Qiu poet, he wouldn't want to smoke our souls too, but the Qiu poet already has spiritual power, and he is still very powerful.

Sensing my fear, the poet slowly raised his head, he was very weak, and he had to rely on me to stand, because I had no strength, and from time to time I almost threw him down.

Listening to his uncomfortable panting, I was angry that I was useless, if we had reversed the roles, he would have been able to protect me well, but now, I can't even hold up his body.

He slapped my hand with difficulty, and then looked at Doctor Lu, his side face dripping with cold sweat still looked calm: "Your so-called stimulation of these souls is to instill energy into them, I want to know, where did you get these energies?" ”

Even if they had the ability to directly extract spiritual energy into the air, these spiritual energy could not be directly poured into the living soul.

Look at those red lines, coiled and extended, and finally they all lead to one place, which is the gossip.

Hearing this, Dr. Lu put away his impassioned expression, slowly lowered his hand, and looked at him questioningly, as well as at me.

Qiu Shishi took a step forward, and the person staggered, I held him and swayed, and finally stabilized, he didn't care at all, when he was drunk, he sneered: "What, I'm like this now, you're also afraid?" ”

He sarcastically said, "You have deceived us into coming to this place, not to stimulate our souls and increase our strength, but to increase our strength, right?" Don't even dare to let us know, how can you take our power? ”

"Hehehehe, worthy of Captain Qiu, the first person in the special department, I finally saw it today."

It wasn't Dr. Lu who spoke, the voice sounded younger than Dr. Lu, but it felt older than Dr. Lu, and when Dr. Lu heard this, his face immediately became aggressive, and he stepped aside.

Not only him, but the nurses and doctors in the hall all stepped back to both sides, gradually revealing the innermost one, the man in black sitting in a black chair under the gossip.

He was wearing a black hooded coat that covered the upper half of his face, and his exposed mouth and chin looked quite familiar, and not only that, but the sound he had just made was familiar to me.

I know this person?

"You, who are you?"

"Second Miss, don't you know me?"

The man in black spoke in a familiar voice, and he slowly raised his head until his entire face was exposed to me.

"Cow Ke? Are you a cow? "My sister Ban Zhi's assistant?

"I'm glad that the second lady remembers me." He put his index finger and middle finger together, and gestured in front of his forehead to greet me.

"Why you? What about my sister, how is she? ”

"The eldest lady mentioned the conflict between the two of you to me, but I didn't expect the second lady to care so much about the eldest miss? Don't worry, the eldest lady is fine now, you should care more about yourself. Don't you want to know what the energy that stimulates these living souls is, look carefully at the second miss, you must not cry your nose. ”

He clapped his hands twice, and the wall with the Bagua map behind him separated from the middle of the Bagua map and shrank to both sides, revealing the world behind the wall little by little.

It's a blood-red world!

Behind that wall was a square room with a floor much lower than this hall, and in the horizontal plane that did not exceed this hall, it was filled with red liquid, viscous and bloody, and one had to think of the red liquid in half a room...... Blood!

On top of this pool of blood, there is a crystal coffin floating, although I can see a person lying in the crystal coffin, but the distance is too far for me to see who the person lying there is.

But I saw that there were several people hanging on the red liquid, and one of them was Zhao Xing.

They were wearing hospital gowns with their hands tied, but the back of the gown was already soaked red, and it was clear that there was a wound on their back, and the blood flowed to their bare feet, and then drip down on the crystal coffin, bounce and ripple, and finally roll into a pool of blood.

Zhao Xing's eyes were closed at this time, his face was bloodless, and he didn't know if he was still alive.

"Surprised? If you want to gain, you have to give. Niu Ke held one hand, like a mentor sitting on a high platform to give a speech to everyone, and behind him, pools of blood, coffins, and tied people formed a screen and became his background.

"Pay?" I muttered.

"Survival of the fittest." I'm afraid that I don't understand, at the suggestion of Niu Ke, Dr. Lu explained to me, he intended to show himself in front of Niu Ke, and his expression was much more excited, "Not everyone can withstand the stimulation of the soul, those who can't hold it are stupid, and those who survive it may not be obedient, just right, energy needs to be supplied, and those who are not qualified and disobedient can be used as nourishment and continue to maintain this experiment." ”

He's as simple as recycling water.

"What are the 'big bosses' who secretly fund you?"

"Heh," Dr. Lu sneered disdainfully, "just tell them that this method can make them immortal, and more people will succeed them." ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, hugged Qiu Shishi tightly, and let his head lean on my shoulder, although his big tall man snuggled in my "delicate" arms is very eye-catching, but if it can make him comfortable, why bother so much.

Then I looked at them: "What about us, why did you try everything to deceive us?" ”

"If you want to make a panacea, you can't do without a main herb." Niu Ke's eyes looked at me with interest, "You are the master, medicine, and material that I have worked so hard to cultivate!" ”

I laughed: "I was raised by you?" You're not going to tell me you're my father, are you? ”

Niu Ke smiled meaningfully, clapped his palms again, and then, the crystal coffin suspended in the pool of blood slowly tilted and erected.

As if he was about to fall unconscious, Qiu Shishi suddenly clenched my arm, the force seemed to break my hand, he even stood up slightly, and his tense body could burst out at any time, but in the end, he compromised and continued to lean on my shoulder, just put his hands around my waist and hugged me very tightly.

His reaction made me even more curious about who was lying in this crystal coffin, which made him react so much.

I stared at the crystal coffin that stood up, although I didn't want to admit it, but the people in the crystal coffin had an inexplicable attraction to me, and a faint voice was calling me closer.

My heart was pounding, and it seemed to jump out of my chest, and I couldn't help but step forward, and if it weren't for the weight of the poet that almost made me fall and woke me up, I might have walked over it.

"Who the hell is this?"

Hearing my depressed question, Niu Ke chuckled lowly: "This, isn't that you?" ”

What the?

When I didn't know why, the lid of the crystal coffin was like a virtual brilliance, disappearing into invisibility in the blink of an eye, lying in the coffin and now like a standing person, completely exposed, let me see the truth.

My feet went limp, and I fell to the ground with the poet, but I couldn't feel anything, and my eyes were still staring at the person in the crystal coffin...... Even if there are many gnawing marks on my face, I can recognize it, this is ...... I?

No, how could it be, how could I be lying in that crystal coffin?

Moreover, if that is me, then what am I sitting here with the poet at this time?

"You seem surprised?" Niu Ke pretended to be surprised and raised his eyebrows, "Didn't Master Qiu tell you?" ”

I looked at him in a daze: Tell me what?

"Miss Ban, you are dead, just on July 16 of this year, you are already dead!"

He's dead? I'm already dead? How is this possible!

Raising a hand, I looked at my palm, which was no different from a normal person, and I couldn't believe that I was dead.

In order to confirm my thoughts, I held the face of the poet with both hands, so that he could look up at me, but when they looked at each other, I could already see in his eyes without asking anything.

My hand slid down his face, and the whole person fell backwards limply, and he hugged him in turn: "Ban Lan! ”

When my mind went blank and I couldn't think of anything, Niu Ke's finger on the other side tapped on his leg: "It's almost time, it's time to start." ”

Dr. Lu bowed respectfully to him: "Yes, master. ”

When he turned to our side, he pushed the glasses that reflected the cold glow, and under a command, Fang Shan buckled Qiu Shishi's shoulder, he had a lot of strength, and he was able to drag Qiu Shishi, a big man, up, Qiu Shishi was weak at this time, and he couldn't resist.

Although I was in a mess, I still wanted to snatch him back when I saw that the poet was about to be dragged away, but a doctor came, and in the same way as Fang Shan, he detained me and dragged me up.

Although the poet and I were separated, we were taken together to Niu Ke, or the bloody room behind Niu Ke.

When I got closer, I found that Niu Ke had many red threads connected to him, and the other end of those red threads was soaked in a pool of blood.

In the same way, when he saw me getting closer and closer to him, his eyes burst with a kind of greedy joy: "Hahaha, it's done, it's going to be done right away." ”

I didn't react to his words, I looked at the corpse in my crystal coffin fixedly, my eyes lingering on the exposed skin on my face and neck, "I" was so well preserved, even the place where it was gnawed, I could clearly see the flesh in the wound, both disgusting and inexplicably familiar, but I couldn't remember at all what I had been so bitten by.

Doctor Lu next to him was still responding to Niu Ke's words: "Yes, this body and soul, we have been feeding for so many months, and we will definitely be able to achieve the desired effect." As for Qiu Shishi, he is definitely the best adjunct, I heard that he is the supreme yang physique, since ancient times, yin and yang fusion, there is no more perfect match than them. ”

Is this completely treating us as "dishes", deciding how to cook us as if no one else was around?

Niu Ke nodded approvingly: "Let's do it, it's dawn in a while, I'm afraid the effect won't be so good." ”

"Yes!"

Doctor Lu waved his hand at Fang Shan and the doctor who was pressing me, and Qiu Shishi and I were pressed to either side of Niu Ke, facing the blood all over the room behind him.

Fang Shan also smiled and said goodbye to Qiu Shishi: "Goodbye Captain Qiu, when I go back, I will definitely let you give you a meritorious medal." ”

Qiu Shishi's weak eyelids opened slightly, and he looked at the ground blankly: "This meritorious medal...... Or I'll pick it up myself! ”

His eyes snapped open, and with a shock of his arm, Fang Shan's clamp was broken, and he kicked it away with a single kick, then grabbed Ox by the neck and lifted him from the chair.

At the same time, I was twisted behind my back, and pulled out a knife that I had hidden on my waist, only half the length of my palm, plus the handle was exactly the size of my entire palm, and the doctor who suppressed me was stuck behind me, and I was frightened by the sudden action of the Qiu poet, so I thrust it behind me!

A knife in the doctor's abdomen will not be fatal, but ...... The doctor reacted and tried to reintrain me, and as I resisted, he fell limply.

Oh, the knife is drugged.

From Qiu Shishi's shot to subduing Niu Ke, but in just a blink of an eye, Dr. Lu's reaction was fast enough, but he was still a step slower, he was just about to make a move, Qiu Shiren had already pinched Niu Ke's neck and lifted him to the top of the blood pool, and Dr. Lu hurried closer, and he threw Niu Ke into the blood pool.

Dr. Lu stopped and looked at us in disbelief: "Why can you ......?"

The situation was completely reversed, and Qiu Shishi's eyes were even more disdainful than the other party's and glanced at Fang Shan, who was getting up from the ground: "With such a bad spy, you also want to deceive me?" ”

He was as arrogant as ever.

I also pointed the knife at the person who tried to get close to me, and said coldly, "You were too careful, but you were too careful. ”

Qiu Shiren and Yan Bin both received phone calls one after another, and there were tasks for them to perform, and normal people would think that there were people above them, and they didn't want these two capable people to intervene in the Sunset Mental Hospital, so they thought that there must be something wrong with this mental hospital.

So their purpose is not to prevent us from coming, but to insist that we come, and thinking about it this way, it is not difficult to guess that their target is me and Qiu Shi.

They also planned very well, whether it was the photo that I left at the beginning, or the "Kang book" in my dream that I was specially reminded that he was from a mental hospital, all of them guided me to think in this direction.

And the effect of those two phone calls is not only that, they know very well that it is useless to ask Qiu Shishi with his duties, but it may inspire him to come, but it is very useful to deal with Yan Bin, who is full of responsibility, Yan Bin will definitely send another person to lead the way, and Fang Shan can naturally join us.

But even if I had guessed this and was prepared, I didn't have any smug emotions - my corpse, right behind me!

Now, what this sunset psychiatric hospital is doing in the shadows has almost figured it out.

Earlier, the poet Qiu told me that every time the merits and sins that flew to me, someone was using me to get energy, and I didn't know what their means were, but now I know it.

Through soul inhalation, it is obtained from the body.

It's not something to be pleasant to do.

"Sure enough, I underestimated you, you." Niu Ke, who was held up above the pool of blood by the neck, could still smile and squeeze words from his throat, "Hehe...... Ahem, but do you think, do you think, that you can win? ”

He was not afraid that he would be thrown into a pool of blood, and raised his arm.

"Xiu Xiu" two sound of breaking water, I saw two corpse nails flying out of the blood pool, flying to a high place and losing their strength, and falling into the blood pool one after another, this is clearly two corpses The corpse nails were ejected, that is to say, there are two ghosts under this pool......

Sure enough, as soon as I thought of this, two figures came out of the pool of blood almost in no particular order, even if one of their faces seemed to be painted with smoky makeup, I could recognize them, they were Gu Youcheng and Da Song, their appearance at this time, I really wanted to vomit in my dreams.

But it wasn't surprising to see them here at this time, after all, it was something that I had guessed a long time ago.
