Chapter 118: The Brain Knows Time
Li Xiu looked at the information that Chu Jun had brought over, and the situation was even worse than the legend.
In addition to the first training of 1,000 people, in fact, the Red Sand City Lord also organized several Purgatory Gate trials, but as a result, even though he already knew some information, he was still wiped out, and none of them came out alive.
The information that is known now is provided by the only one who survived.
The trial at the Purgatory Gate was strange, and although there were thousands of people inside, the man who came out alive said that he saw only himself, in a room, and no one else.
It was a white room, and there was nothing in it, only the light screen to indicate the start of the S-class trial, and then the light screen disappeared, leaving him alone in the room.
The rules of the trial are also very simple, just stay in the room and wait for the trial to end.
He didn't know how long he had been in the room, and since there was no time counting, he didn't know how much time had passed.
Just like the rumors from the outside world, after that person came out, there seemed to be something wrong with his spirit, he spoke invertedly and dementedly, and the above information was sorted out by the doctor in his incoherent words.
The man said it was two or three days, then months, then years, and even more exaggeratedly, he himself had been in the room for hundreds of years.
These were all regarded as his nonsense, after all, it was only three days from the time he entered to the time he came out.
The psychiatric doctor judged that it may have been because he did not have a timekeeping tool, so he had a delusion.
There is also a speculation that in that room, there is something that affects the spirit, it may be some kind of gas, it may be some kind of spiritual hypnosis or something, anyway, there can't be nothing in that room, there must be something.
In the next few trials, the Red Sand City Lord specially found some people who were resistant to drugs or mental hypnosis to enter, but the results were not ideal, and still no one could come out.
"What do you think?" Chu Jun asked after waiting for Li Xiu to finish reading the information.
"There are a lot of magical things in the proving ground, and no one can say for sure if they haven't experienced it personally." Li Xiu thought for a while and said, "Since someone can come out alive, it means that there must be a way to pass." ”
"I think so too, but with such a little bit of information, if you really want to get in, the chances of getting out alive are not high, do you want to give it a try? If you'd like to try it, I've got in touch with you. You have three days, and within three days after you enter, that batch of magic suits will not be delivered to Red Sand City, and if you don't come out after three days, then you can only complete the transaction as agreed. Chu Jun didn't dare to make up his mind for Li Xiu.
After all, it was a trial where thousands of people could come out alive, and Chu Jun himself didn't dare to go in, only Li Xiu himself was qualified to decide whether to go or not.
"The person who came out alive, how is his physical fitness?" Li Xiu thought for a while and asked.
"Ordinary people, not real trialists, and there is nothing special about him, I don't know why he was able to come out alive." Chu Jun replied.
"Can I see him before the trial?" Li Xiu asked.
"There should be no problem, I'll arrange it." Chu Jun said.
"Okay, then let's make a decision after meeting that person." Li Xiu still decided to take a look.
Since physical fitness is not the key to determining whether he can survive or not, Li Xiu thinks that he can give it a try.
But whether he wanted to try it or not would have to wait until he met that person before he could decide.
"Okay, I'll arrange it, and I'll let you know when there's news." Chu Jun thought for a while and said, "Actually, I don't quite understand, why do you want to go to such a testing ground, it's too dangerous. ”
"I just want to see what kind of contract there will be in such a proving ground." Li Xiu said with a smile.
Li Xiu originally planned to go to the Haitian Trial Ground after arranging the things at hand.
Now that there is a chance to go to the Gate of Purgatory, the Haitian Proving Ground can only be released first.
In the next few days, in addition to occasionally instructing Ye Xiyuan, Li Xiu entered the Brave Proving Ground every day and constantly selected attribute rewards.
At the beginning, it was just a low-level attribute reward, Li Xiu couldn't feel any reaction from his body, and his physical fitness didn't continue to increase, and then after the B-level attribute reward, he still didn't feel anything, indicating that his physical enhancement had reached the limit, and he had to become a real trialist before he could continue to strengthen.
A few days later, Chu Jun brought good news, it had been agreed that Li Xiu could go to the Purgatory Gate Trial, and he could also meet the person who came out of the Purgatory Gate alive.
Chu Jun asked Li Xiu to pack his things, and they would leave for Hongsha City tomorrow.
Li Xiu also had nothing to clean up, as long as he brought the ghost-faced demon costume over to prevent the Red Sand City Lord from turning his face and denying it at that time.
Before going, Li Xiu planned to go around the gem street again to see if he could find the Demon Spirit Gem again.
Gem Street is a little more crowded than the last time Li Xiu came, and many gem shops have reopened, but the signboards seem to have changed, and most of the old shops before are gone.
Li Xiu looked slowly from shop to store, but unfortunately he looked at many gems, and he didn't find the one that made him hungry.
Li Xiu was not disappointed, after all, the Demon Spirit Gem was hard to find, and the difficulty of obtaining it might be even greater than that of the Demon Spirit Ring.
Li Xiu walked into a gem store again, and saw the boss sitting at the counter looking at his mobile phone, so he looked at the front of the counter by himself.
Mu Yu has been coming to Chongshan City for several days, and he has not found a chance to enter the City Lord's Mansion to get close to Li Xiu, and he heard that Li Xiu has a hobby of visiting gem shops, so he opened a shop in Chongshan City, intending to wait for the rabbit.
When Li Xiu entered the store, Mu Yu already knew who he was.
He was not impatient at all, and took the opportunity to look at Li Xiu and found that he was not carrying a magic costume.
However, for him, it doesn't matter if Li Xiu is carrying a magic costume, he will not give Li Xiu a chance to use the magic costume.
When Li Xiu looked over one counter after another and was about to walk in front of him, a dagger appeared out of thin air in Mu Yu's palm and wiped it towards Li Xiu's neck.
His shot was so fast, so fast that it was almost invisible, and the dagger flashed with a strange green light, like a flash of green cold lightning.
Mu Yu was very sure that even a D-level trialist like him would not be able to dodge this knife, not to mention that the other party was just a magic costume master who was not wearing a magic costume.
Don't say that the other party is defenseless, even if he is defenseless, at such a close distance, he can't dodge it, his knife is not only fast, but the wooden forest dagger is highly poisonous, and he will die if he touches it.
There is no need to cut the throat, just a small wound is enough to kill.
This is his symbiosis contract, coupled with the S-rank flash skill, he once assassinated the C-level trialist, and the trialist can only watch as Kinomori cuts his throat.
Li Xiu saw a flash of green cold lightning and realized the danger, but his body didn't have time to react at all, and he didn't have time to retreat, it was too fast, Li Xiu only had time to lower his head slightly.
With this bow, the position drawn by Kinomori was not his neck, but his forehead.
This doesn't matter in Mu Yu's opinion, if he scratches his forehead, he will also die.
Just when Mu Yu thought he had succeeded, he suddenly saw Li Xiu with his head down, and a black light shot out of the hole in his left eye.
While!
The green cold electricity that Mu Zhisen turned into was hit by the black light, and Mu Yu only felt that the palm holding Mu Zhimori was numb.
Meng clenched the handle of the knife hard, Mu Yu stood up, and Mu Zhisen slashed at Li Xiu's chest again, incredibly fast.
While!
Li Xiu had an extra red thin sword in his hand, which actually blocked the path of the wood forest.
The dagger and the thin sword struck, and the fire lotus sword in Li Xiu's hand flew out of his hand, and the huge force made Li Xiu's body take several steps back uncontrollably, and the hand holding the sword trembled, feeling that he couldn't use his strength anymore.
The ghost of Mu Yu generally turned out of the counter, and the wood in his hand once again turned into cold electricity and stabbed Li Xiu's heart.
He didn't expect that Li Xiu would still be a trialist with a contract, but that didn't matter, Li Xiu had already lost his center of gravity, and it was impossible to block this thorn again.
While!
A knife with a strong red fluorescence blocked Mu Yu's dagger, and a warrior demon spirit wrapped in dark red armor blocked in front of Li Xiu.
"Demon Spirit ......" Mu Yu was startled in his heart, and hurriedly flew back, but he only took a step back, and saw the katana in the hand of the Demon Spirit Warrior slashing with a strong blood-red fluorescence.
Mu Yu raised his sword to block it, but he saw that a bend of blood moon-like sword light was cut out of the katana.
"Gifted skills!" Mu Yu was shocked in his heart, but there was no room to retreat.
Mu Zhisen collided with the blood-colored crescent sword light, and was directly cut off by the blood-colored crescent knife light, and even one of his arms was cut off together.
Mu Yu endured the pain, and the skill imprint on the fingers of his other hand appeared, and he jumped up, and it collided with the roof like a cannonball, and wanted to escape.
Peng!
Mu Yu heard a gunshot, and then he felt a pain in the crook of his leg, and when he landed, the leg couldn't use his strength, and he fell down from the big hole he had knocked open.
A transparent blue greatsword rested around his neck.
"Radiant Demon Spirit!" Mu Yu saw clearly the owner of the transparent blue sword, and suddenly let out a shocked sound.
Pemba!
The demigod fired two shots in an instant, breaking the bones of Mu Yu's other leg and one arm, and then was taken back by Li Xiu.
Looking at Mu Yu, who had lost his ability to move, Li Xiu stood behind the Jedi and asked with a smile, "What's your name?" ”
Mu Yu never thought that a magician was not only a trialist who already had a contract, but also a glorious demon.
"Kill if you want to, don't talk nonsense." Mu Yu's hands and legs are useless, and he can't even commit suicide.
"I don't like to kill." Li Xiu took out the phone and called Ah Bandit, and after a while, Ah Bandit drove over and brought Mu Yu back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Mu Yu was locked in a cell, and the wounds on his body had been temporarily treated to ensure that he would not die of excessive bleeding in a short period of time.
Li Xiu looked at Mu Yu in the cell and said in a surging voice, "It's the wife of the Red Sand City Lord who asked you to kill me, right?" ”
"Don't waste your efforts, if you want to torture me, hurry up." Mu Yu lay on the ground and said with his eyes closed.
"Do you have family?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.
"My family is in Hongsha City, you try to see if you can arrest them and threaten me, you have the ability to arrest them, I will say whatever you want to know." Mu Yu said with a sneer.
"I heard that the Red Sand City Lord is a violent and extremely suspicious person, you said that if I heal your injuries and then let you go, what do you think the Red Sand City Lord will think?" Li Xiu said unhurriedly.
Mu Yu's face changed suddenly: "You can try it, maybe it will be useful." ”
"Okay, let's do it. Bandit, I'll hand him over to you, heal his wounds, and send him back to Red Sand City. After Li Xiu finished speaking, he got up and prepared to leave.
"Your path is still too shallow, my arm has been scrapped, how can the city lord be instigated by you." Mu Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Then I don't know, anyway, you're just a tool, I don't care about your life or death, if the Red Sand City Lord really trusts you so much, then congratulations on picking up a small life." But you'd better pray that the Red Sand City Lord won't think that broken arm of yours is a bitter ploy, I think he should still have this amount of belly, right? Li Xiu said.
"I can kill myself." Mu Yu gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, that's another story, the person who assassinated me didn't die, but he didn't go back to Hongsha City, and he was reused here in Chongshan City, such a script, the Hongsha City Lord shouldn't believe it, right?" Li Xiu said and turned around and walked out of the cell.
"Wait a minute." Mu Yu suddenly struggled to climb in front of the iron fence that he remembered, stared at Li Xiu and said, "If I say it, can you guarantee the safety of my family?" ”
"No, I can only guarantee that you will be a dead person in this world in the future, a person who died to assassinate me, whether there is a chance to rescue your relatives in the future, it depends on whether you are worth the risk I have to take, think about it." After Li Xiu finished speaking, he left directly.
A bandit called a doctor and began to treat Mu Yu.
Mu Yu was silent for a long time, and it was not until after the doctor left and when the bandit was about to leave that Mu Yu suddenly said, "Can I trust him?" ”
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
"You should ask yourself, if you don't believe in the Red Sand City Lord, does it matter if he can believe it?" A bandit said.
Mu Yu was slightly stunned, and after a while, he smiled miserably: "Yes, if the city lord is credible, why should I be here, what do you want to know?" ”
Mu Yu knows very well that he is the personal guard of the Red Sand City Lord, and he will know something about the Red Sand City Lord intentionally or unintentionally.
If something goes wrong with him, with the character of the Red Sand City Lord, he will never let his family go.
"Didn't he just say that what kind of value you have, what kind of treatment you can get." A bandit said vigorously.
When Li Xiu was packing up his things, A Bandit came over: "There is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?" ”
"I want to hear the good news first." Li Xiu stopped, sat on the bed and looked at the bandit and said.
"The good news is that I learned something about the Hellgate from Mu Yu, the Trialist who assassinated you, and it may be helpful for you on this trip." A bandit said.
"Where's the bad news?" Li Xiu asked again.
"The bad news is that I learned something about the Hellgate from Mu Yu's mouth, which may not be good for you." The bandit replied.
"Isn't that just news?" Li Xiu was a little speechless.
"Well, you can say that, so you can say." The bandit nodded seriously.
According to Mu Yu's confession, the information about the Purgatory Gate given by the Red Sand City Lord was basically no problem, only slightly biased.
In fact, the Red Sand City Lord later conducted a large-scale experiment to find more people to enter the Purgatory Gate.
More than 2,000 people in a deep mountain village were secretly captured by the Red Sand City Lord, and all of them, regardless of men, women, and children, were sent to the gate of purgatory.
That time, another person finally came out alive, and it was a child with cerebral palsy, very low intelligence, not yet ten years old.
"The Red Sand City Lord is really ruthless, he won't even let go of such a child." Li Xiu sighed.
"In his opinion, such children are the most worthless and should die the most." A bandit said indifferently.
"And then? Are they sure that the Hellgate is affecting the brains of those trialists, causing them to have a mental problem? Li Xiu said.
"No, they came to another conclusion, maybe those who entered the gates of purgatory really lived in it for hundreds of years." The bandit uttered a shocking answer.
"Why is there such a conclusion?" Li Xiu asked puzzled.
"The child's illness gets worse over time, but it's a very slow process. When he entered, he was still able to move like a normal person, but his intelligence was relatively low, his eyes were crooked, and his speech function was somewhat affected. If it is a normal situation, it may take a few years, more than ten years or even decades before his physical function will be affected, and he will gradually lose the ability to control his body, and it will become more and more serious. ”
"The child had only been in for three days, and when he came out, he was almost completely paralyzed. After some expert research in Hongsha City, his brain was not affected by external factors, but was naturally affected to this extent. So they reasoned that it was likely that when they were inside, the time for the brain to recognize it might have been decades or even hundreds of years. ”
"Time for brain cognition?" Li Xiu didn't quite understand Ah Bandit's description.
In other words, their bodies may have only passed three days, but their brains feel like decades or hundreds of years have passed. A person who has been trapped in a room where nothing has it for decades or hundreds of years is a person who goes crazy. The bandit said.
"But madness doesn't mean death, so why only two people survived?" Li Xiu still had some doubts.
"Then I don't know, that's all Mu Yu knows, I think it should be credible." A bandit said.
"Then I'll wait until I've seen the man who survived." Li Xiu became more and more interested in the Gate of Purgatory.
