24 Abusive Institutions (Part I)
The platform carrying Optokun sank into the floor and descended a few meters, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, with only a faint glow visible in the circular space overhead.
The platform had been descending vertically in a transparent pipe that looked like glass, which made Otokun feel as if he was riding in the interior of a landscape elevator, but because there was no light, he couldn't see the surrounding scene clearly.
"By the way, what the hell is this abusive institution?" Although Sofitel had heard it mentioned it a few times, Optoquin still did not understand the true face of the abusive institution.
"For our Shake S family, the abusive mechanism is a very important thing, and it can be said that it is a device that keeps the entire family running!" Sofitel immediately began to explain, "Many of the abilities of the abuse officer need to rely on the support of the abuse agency to be brought into play, and the command center of the entire family is also operated in the abuse agency, and the actions of the abuse officer and the construction of the family must rely on the calculation and instructions of the organization to carry out." In addition, all kinds of special instruments and equipment required by family members are also produced in abusive institutions. In the heyday of our family, entire families even lived within abusive institutions. β
"The whole family lives in it? How big does this organization have to be? Looking at the pitch-black space around him, Otokun asked.
"The size of the whole institution is really huge." Sofitel said, "Master, this institution you are in is divided into seven floors, and it can be said that it is the largest abusive institution in our family. With each lower floor, the volume of the mechanism increases a lot. β
"The first layer of the abusive mechanism is fifteen meters thick and only nine hundred square meters in size, and it is used for receiving orders and defending itself."
"The thickness of the second layer is twenty-three meters, which is about three times the area of the first layer."
"The thickness of the third floor is also 23 meters, but the area is larger, 7,000 square meters."
"The fourth layer after that is thirty-five meters thick; The fifth layer is fifty-five meters thick; The sixth layer is 125 meters thick......"
"The thickness of the last seventh layer...... It's a kilometer. β
"A thousand meters! Isn't that as high as a mountain? "Otokun's mouth was too wide and his jaw was dislocated.
"That's right, master, the scale of the seventh layer is even bigger than an ordinary city!" Sofitel nodded proudly, "Our family lived on the seventh floor in its most glorious days. However, the amount of Ling energy required to make this layer work was astronomical, and there were a total of 256 abusive officers who provided Ling energy to this level, all of which could barely keep the institution running. β
"Then are all these bullies infused to people?" Otokun asked.
"Yes, in addition to regular collaborators, our family's abuse officers will also find suitable candidates from all over the world to bring back to the abuse agency." Sofitel said with a gesture with both hands.
"In fact, the main purpose of this abusive organization is to abuse people."
"The abused person who is brought back to the institution will go through different layers depending on the situation in order to get the maximum amount of bullying extraction. During the family's total victory period, dozens of people lined up every day to enter the abusive institution, and then went down the torture layer by layer, going through more terrible ordeals with each layer of going deeper, until the Ling Neng that could be extracted was taken out and not let go. β
"One layer is more terrible than the other, this is simply eighteen layers of hell!" Otokun complained, "Even though there are only seven floors hereβ"
"Actually, we originally planned to build it on the eighteenth floor, but the family's ability is limited, and the human capacity is also limited...... "Sofitel said seriously.
"Well, why was I born into such a brutal family......" Otokun sighed with his face covered.
"That's right, master, the ancestors of our family were very cold-blooded and brutal individuals. It is precisely by virtue of the brutal ability of the abusive officials that we can survive in those chaotic times. Sofitel continued, "But then when society entered a period of stability, the family's policy changed. The chief abuse officer, who served as the patriarch, began to control the subjects of abuse, deliberately cooperating with the government to warn others by abusing only the guilty. β
"Under the leadership of the thirteenth Chief Abuse Officer, we once gained a huge amount of power through legal cooperation, and at that time, the Shake S family even became the one standing at the top of the world!" Sofitel said with her eyes lit up.
"At that time, our family was obviously only close to ruling the entire continent and then getting the throne of the world, but unfortunately, a third-party force suddenly appeared in the way...... Alas, it's useless to talk about this now. I'll continue to introduce the owner to the abusive agency. β
Although Otokun was also interested in the history of the family, he saw that Sofitel had something important to explain to him, so he didn't rush to interrupt her.
"Now, master, you're about to reach the bottom of the seventh floor of the abusive institution." Sofitel stretched out a hand to the dark space outside, "For the new abuse officer who has just awakened, only by accepting the institution's mark in the ability storage room on the seventh floor can he obtain the support of the entire abuse agency in the future." So the master you need to find your own ability storage room first. β
After descending five minutes in the dark, the platform under Otokun's feet finally stopped.
With the help of the phone's lighting function, Opokun walked cautiously on the wide, open ground on the seventh floor, while constantly observing his surroundings.
But the range of lighting provided by the phone was so limited that he couldn't see a clear view in an underground space the size of several cities.
It was entirely with Sofitel's guidance that Optoquin found his place in this huge space that made people feel empty.
It was the only room that glowed in a dark subterranean space.
Upon entering the room through pedigree verification, Optokun saw five translucent egg-shaped containers, as well as an S-shaped purple circle of light floating in the center of the room.
"This is your storage room, master!" Sofitel said in a loud voice, "The ability storage room of the abusive official Shake S. Otokun!" β
"The containers on the walls are the master's power bits. The abilities that the owner has gained through 'abuse extraction' will be stored in these ability slots. β
Altokun slowly walked over to the translucent egg-shapers, gently stroking their smooth outer walls with his fingers. Of the five containers, two have bright clusters of light floating inside, presumably corresponding to the two abilities he currently has acquired through the Crying Villain.
However, what made Optokun feel a little concerned was that the light in the first container was dim, and there were some gray areas in the inner light cluster, which seemed to be lacking in vitality.
