Chen Jian had a long dream.

At first he felt a lot of pain, and his whole body was immersed in a sea of fire like water, and he watched his body disintegrate in the flames, melt, and then settle into the fiery red water, scorching bubbles gushing out from the bottom, bursting in an orderly manner in front of his eyes, and splashing orange liquid at the same time. He looked down and found that his body had been swallowed, and only a head that was floating in the middle of nowhere.

Mental paralysis, the pain gradually dissipated, he calmly looked around, the flames did not know when to transform into a calm lake, the blooming lotus flowers were floating lightly, the flawless water surface reflected them like a silver mirror, the lotus bewitching posture, the stamens seemed to turn into a human mouth, echoing each other and sobbing, soon, Chen Jian was drowned in endless tears, he trembled and raised his hands - he grew hands - covered his cheeks, hot tears flowed from his fingers to the back of his hands, and finally fell into the lake, causing magnificent ripples.

As if the soul was being pulled by some kind of tug, he gradually broke away from his body and stood on the opposite side of his body, and the familiar face made him wonder if this was himself.

Just as he was obsessed with finding the answer, his feet were empty, as if he had stepped into an abyss.

He snapped his eyes open, his vision once again covered in a blur of blood-red.

"Yo! You're finally awake. ”

The familiar tone reached his ears, and Chen Jian twisted his neck to see the madman who was gobbling up.

"Where is this?"

"On the hill. The madman replied vaguely.

"What about spiders?"

"I don't know, it's gone when I wake up. The madman shook his head, "Don't think about it so much, Purgatory is full of such strange things, and it's lucky that they didn't capture them." ”

"When you get caught by a spider, you're going to be eaten by them?"

"yes, they're eating fast!" the madman spread his index finger, mimicking a spider's leg.

"What happens when you eat it?"

"When the spider excretes it, and sees the spider's big ass, it all comes out in an uproar!" the madman covered his nose and made a gesture that he didn't want to smell the stench, "and then those dirty things will come together like a meat mud like yours, and everything will be in vain." ”

"In vain? Is it in vain to become a human being?"

"That's right. The madman nodded.

Chen Jian saw that his face changed, and he seemed to remember the unbearable past.

After so many days, Chen Jian probably figured out the survival mode of purgatory - when the prisoner first entered purgatory, he was a mass of flesh with only consciousness and devouring ability, as long as he continued to devour plants and animals, he could gradually recover his body, but at the same time, the pain on his body would also increase gradually, and once he unfortunately died, he would change back to the form of flesh mud. In purgatory, the conditions for death are quite harsh, with burning, dismemberment...... All of these are not considered "death", only when they are digested by animals or some exotic plants, they are "death".

The madman ate a hare that he had hunted out of nowhere, and the blood, rabbit fur, and fine bones were stuffed between his teeth, and he tore off the hare's leg and asked Chen Jian if he would eat it.

"I don't need to-" Chen Jian didn't want to become a human so soon, he had to figure out what the benefits of recovering his human body were, "How long does it take to become a person of your level?"

"Me?" the madman picked up the rabbit and drank the blood with his head up, "who knows, I've long lost track of time." ”

"Tell me about it. ”

The madman lamented pompously, "You have just arrived in purgatory, and you can sense time with tiredness, but look around," he waved his hand, as if it were his country, "There is no day or night here, there is no change of seasons, and the surroundings are like solidification." In another ten days and half a month, you won't even be able to calculate a moment. ”

Chen Jian completely understands the madman. In fact, he couldn't be sure how long "one second" was now.

"Then tell me, what's the good of being human? You have to endure constant pain, and you may be attacked by monsters like you did before. ”

Chen Jian was actually asking the madman why he wanted to recover his body in disguise, and he didn't know if the madman was aware of his intentions, and immediately gushed after hearing the question: "Of course there are benefits! You can enjoy these delicious foods!" He broke open the rabbit's chest cavity and sucked its organs contentedly.

"And you can go wherever you want, unlike you, who can only crawl around on the ground slowly. The madman got up to speak, and suddenly stood up, "Go!"

He couldn't help but say, and continued to advance towards the Fengfeng Country with Chen Jian.

*

This is a long and hopeless journey, Chen Jian always feels that the madman is going in the wrong direction, but he doesn't know where the Fengfeng Country is, so he has to let the madman roam around as he pleases.

I can't count how long they've been gone. A month, two months, or even half a year is possible, just like the madman said, Chen Jian is completely lost, and the passage of time becomes insignificant.

Chen Jian often thinks that whether in his previous life or in the world, people regarded time as the most valuable treasure, but now he has become a "sinner", and when he reaches purgatory, time has become the most worthless waste.

They have always walked up and down the mountain, seeing many strange and strange flowers and trees, and encountering countless strange creatures - some of them are docile and approachable, while others are fierce and sinister, making them dangerous.

Chen Jian gradually understood why he wanted to restore his body.

Although the fleshy body can avoid the attention of some wild beasts, once it is discovered by the astute creatures, he can only suffer from torture, and at this time, it is the madman who comes to his aid to save him from the pain of flesh and skin.

The pressure is constantly accumulating and releasing with the journey, and Chen Jian occasionally eats with the madman.

Gradually, he grew arms and four fingers on the left and right, legs as short as rabbits, and a face full of holes. At first he was quite disgusted with the face, complaining that he shouldn't eat the weird food, but over time, he got used to the feeling of air on his face, and even felt a little chill in the heat of purgatory.

He was now the size of a two-born baby, and the punishment to be experienced had increased, and now in addition to the skinning punishment, the car crack had also entered his body.

Experiencing your first car crack is quite a scary thing. The limbs and head were irresistibly pulled towards the five, and the body seemed to become an infinitely elongated noodle, and with a loud snap, the brain and torso shattered at the same time, which was definitely a pain that I will never forget. As the number of cracks increased, the pain remained, but he no longer panicked, and waited as calmly as possible for the torture to come.

The presence of the madman also greatly alleviated his fears.

In this way, the two "depended on each other" and finally reached a peak. As far as the eye can see, a huge figure appears in front of the clouds.

"We're coming!" the madman cheered, and Chen Jian couldn't help but shed tears.

Little did he know at this time that a long and desperate life in prison had just begun.
