In a room with a one-way mirror, Chu Jun and Li Xiu were looking at a person in the room through a one-way mirror.

In that prison-like room, the walls, tables, chairs, beds, and even the sheets and cups were black.

The people inside sat in chairs, staring at the teacups on the table, babbling inside and not knowing what they were saying, and their voices were too small to be heard clearly.

Li Xiu and Chu Jun watched here for more than half an hour, and the man stared at the cup like this for more than half an hour, except for his body shaking strangely like Parkinson's disease, he didn't even stand up.

"Mr. Chu, he has always been like this, except when he eats, drinks and sleeps, he has always been like this." The Hongsha City official who accompanied Chu Jun said with a smile.

"Can we go in and talk to him?" Chu Jun asked.

"Of course, but he's crazy and can't understand people, so I'm afraid it's a little difficult to communicate." As he spoke, the official brought Li Xiu and Chu Jun to the door of the room, and asked people to open the locked door: "Two please." ”

Li Xiu and Chu Jun walked over, but the man ignored it, still sitting at the table and chattering.

"Apa, someone has come to see you." The officer shouted at the man, but the man still didn't respond.

"Mr. Chu, I'm really embarrassed, he's like this, you can ask whatever you want, if you're lucky, maybe he'll say two nonsense words, if you're unlucky, he won't even pay attention." The official said.

Li Xiu and Chu Jun glanced at each other, and Li Xiu walked to the side of the man and looked at his appearance.

That is, he looks like a young man in his twenties, but in his eyes, Li Xiu can't see a trace of the vitality that a young man should have, only emptiness, dead ashes and deep fear.

Li Xiu didn't ask him anything, just squatted down and got closer to listen to what he was talking about.

"Eighty eight million two hundred eighty seven thousand seven hundred seventy four...... Eighteen million two hundred seventy seven thousand seven hundred seventy three ......"

After Li Xiu heard it clearly, he found that he had been counting, counting one by one and counting slowly, according to his speed, it would take more than ten seconds to count such a number, and the interval was not regular.

Obviously, the numbers he counted should not be used for timekeeping.

But what else can it be used for other than timekeeping? What the hell is he counting?

Li Xiu followed his gaze and looked at the cup, which was a pure black cup, there was no pattern on it, and there was nothing for him to count.

"One...... Two...... Three...... Four...... Six ......" Li Xiu didn't ask him anything, but tried to count next to him.

After counting a few counts, the man suddenly turned his head to look at him, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "You counted the wrong ......."

"Where did I count wrong?" Li Xiu asked.

The man didn't answer him, he turned his head to look at the cup and continued to count, his memory was surprisingly good, and he continued to count.

Li Xiu also counted down his own numbers, and increased his voice, his voice had already drowned out the man's voice.

But that person was completely unaffected by him, and still counted by himself, Li Xiu listened for a while, and found that his interference was useless, and the number of people was not bad at all.

"One hundred and seven...... One hundred and nine......" Li Xiu deliberately omitted a number.

"Wrong...... You're wrong......" The man turned his head again, grinning at him, a little mad.

"What happens if you get it wrong?" Li Xiu asked.

But the man ignored him, and counted them again.

"Sir, you may try to ask something else, and perhaps he will be able to answer you." The official said with a smile on the side.

"No need, let's go." Li Xiu stared at the man for a while, then got up and walked out of the room.

"Sir, do you really want to ask anything more?" The official looked at Li Xiu with some confusion and asked.

"No, he's crazy like this, and he can't ask anything." Li Xiu looked at the official and asked, "Did he say anything before?" ”

"Those materials have been handed over to Mr. Chu, and all the words he said are recorded in the eucalyptus, you can check them." The official said.

"Okay, let's go." Li Xiu and Chu Jun left this prison-like place together.

"Why don't you ask more?" Back at their accommodation, Chu Jun saw that there was no one around, and asked with some confusion.

"If I could ask something, those experts in Hongsha City would have asked it a long time ago, and no matter how much I asked, I wouldn't be more professional than those experts." Li Xiu said.

"So what do you think? Do you want to go to the gates of purgatory? I thought it was better not to go, and when I saw this person, I was a little panicked and felt very bad. Chu Jun said.

"No, I'd like to go to the gates of Purgatory." After seeing this person, Li Xiu had already made a decision, he was going to the Gate of Purgatory.

The trial of the Purgatory Gate can be determined to have nothing to do with physical fitness, but with the brain, and such a trial is very beneficial to Li Xiu.

And he vaguely felt that the trial of the Purgatory Gate might have something to do with the number of people.

"In that case, then according to the original plan, tomorrow will arrange for you to go to the Gate of Purgatory, and in three days, the people of our family will go to Hongsha City to complete the transaction, if nothing else, you should be able to come out before then." After Chu Jun finished speaking, he still said with some unease: "I always feel that person is weird, and I have a feeling of unease. ”

"Don't worry, since someone can come out alive, I will definitely be able to come out alive." Li Xiu smiled and comforted Chu Jun.

"That's right, it should be fine if it's you." Chu Jun saw that Li Xiu had made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more.

After resting for one night, early the next morning, the officials who received Li Xiu and Chu Jun yesterday took them into a bus and carried the two of them out of Hongsha City, along a road, towards the deep mountains.

The bus went around and around along the winding mountain road, which was very badly repaired, narrow and broken, with potholes and some puddles in places.

Several times, Li Xiu thought that the bus was going to leave the mountain road, but it only turned a corner.

Fortunately, Li Xiu's psychological quality and physical health are good, otherwise even if he is not stunned, I am afraid that he will have a heart attack.

The bus went down a hill and up another hill, and when the sun was overhead, the bus finally stopped at a col.

The official got out of the car with two people dressed as soldiers, and said to Li Xiu and Chu Jun in the car: "The next road, we can only walk over, and the road has not been repaired to that side." ”

Li Xiu picked up his backpack and got out of the car with Chu Jun, and several people left the road and walked towards the mountain path next to them.

Although the road was not easy to walk, it was nothing for the trialists, and an hour later, several people came to a simple base built near the mountain.

There was a power grid outside the base, and it was guarded by soldiers in full samurai suite, and the officer took out the passes, and the soldiers inside let them in.

Led by officials and an officer in the base, Li Xiu and the others walked through the base and took them to a cave behind the base.

In the deepest part of the cave, a black stone gate was embedded in the mountain rock, the door was black, without any patterns or carvings, if it were not for the seventy-two grooves, it would be difficult to find that it was a door of trials, only to think that it was a smooth rock wall.

"Mr. Chu, this is the gate of purgatory." The official panted and wiped his sweat and said, after such a trip, his fat body was a little unbearable, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

Chu Jun nodded, glanced at Li Xiu, then walked to the stone wall, took out a small bag from his arms, and after opening it, it was full of rubies and sapphires of about three carats, it seemed that the gems that opened the door to purgatory were made by Chu Jun himself.

According to the information provided by the Red Sand City Lord, the gates of Purgatory cannot be opened with the Trial Emblem, only with gems.

Li Xiu didn't say anything, even if these gems were from Hongsha City, they were also exchanged for the Chu family's transaction, and he still owed Chu Jun a favor, no difference.

"Bring someone here." The officer greeted, and some soldiers came with a group of dozens of people at gunpoint to the gates of purgatory.

Seeing that Chu Jun stopped what he was doing and looked at those people, the official said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Chu, there is no limit to the number of people in the trial of the Purgatory Gate, and each person's trial is individual, and there is no influence on each other. ”

This seems to be a plea, but in fact, it can't be tolerated that Chu Jun doesn't agree, everyone is ready, even if Chu Jun doesn't agree, as soon as the door opens, they run inside, Chu Jun can still stop it.

Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu, Li Xiu nodded slightly, and Chu Jun didn't say anything, and continued to put the gem into the groove.

Thirty-six rubies and thirty-six sapphires were set on either side, and all of them were of quite good quality, and all of them exceeded three carats, and the cost of opening a gate to purgatory was considerable.

When all the seventy-two ruby sapphires were set, all the stones lit up on their own, and the two doors were dyed blue and red respectively by the brilliance of the stones.

With a bang, the two doors slowly opened, revealing a gap.

There was no light coming out of that gap, which was a little different from the trial gate that Li Xiu had entered before, it was pitch black inside, and nothing could be seen.

Even if Li Xiu wore a dark mirror on his face, he could still only see a black depth.

"Sir, please." The official made a gesture of invitation to Li Xiu, urging him to hurry up and go in.

If Li Xiu doesn't go in, those people in Hongsha City will naturally not be able to get in.

Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun, and Chu Jun said, "I'm here waiting for you to come out, and we'll go back together." ”

"Okay." Li Xiu nodded slightly and walked towards the darkness inside the door.

After Li Xiu entered the door, the officer asked the soldiers to drive the dozens of people inside, and after a short time, the door slowly closed, and the world inside was completely cut off from the outside with a bang.

In a white room, Li Xian was looking at everything in the room.

This room is about the same size as the rooms in the Dark Labyrinth, and they are all white rooms, except that there is no door in this room.

The whole room was like a big sealed box, and there was nothing but Li Xiu.

Suddenly, a light screen appeared on the wall, and the familiar cold voice sounded at the same time.

"Welcome to the Hellgate Proving Ground, the S-rank trial is about to begin, and the rules are as follows: live until the end of the trial."

There is only one sentence of the rule, live until the end of the trial, and nothing else.

There is no time limit, no rules, and no projects, just to live.

With the countdown to the trial over, the trial has officially begun.

Li Xiu stood in the room and waited for a long time, but nothing happened, and the white room was quiet and scary.

"Is it really okay to just live until the end of the trial?" Li Xiu muttered to himself, but found that he couldn't hear his own voice.

Li Xiu frowned slightly, and tried to kick the white wall, originally just wanted to know if he could make a sound, but after this kick, he found that he didn't feel any pain in his feet at all.

He kicked a few more times, but still didn't feel any pain, but when he took off his white shoes, he found that his feet were already a little red and swollen.

"This trial deprives the senses of hearing and touch." Li Xiu sniffed his arm again and found that he couldn't smell it either.

I licked my arm, and my sense of taste was gone.

"Only the sight remains." Li Xiu thought to himself in his heart.

Try to summon the Demon Spirit, but you can't summon it, try to pull out the deed, but you can't pull it out, just like the ordinary Proving Ground, you can't use the deed and the demon spirit here.

I tried to use skills again, and the skills can be used, no different from ordinary proving grounds.

Li Xiu sat in the center of the room, quietly observing the room with his eyes, the room was all white, there were no patterns or gaps, and he couldn't see any changes.

In such an environment, it is easy to feel mentally exhausted and make people want to sleep.

Li Xiu didn't sleep, he had been silently counting in his heart, from the moment the trial began, he was counting, from the beginning, to now counting more than a thousand counts.

There was nothing, nothing could be done, and he didn't know when the trial would end, so Li Xiu just sat there and kept counting.

Time passed minute by minute, and Li Xiu's counting was still a little different from that madman, and each of his counts corresponded to one second.

Later, because the numbers were too long, each of his numbers corresponded to a few seconds, which was equivalent to timekeeping.

In Li Xiu's timekeeping, he had been here for six hours, but strangely found that he didn't feel a little hungry.

"It's been six hours, and I don't feel hungry yet, is my brain's time running out, or is my body no longer feeling?" Li Xiu stood up, walked to a white wall, and used blood boiling to punch the wall.

The wall didn't react at all, and Li Xiu didn't feel anything, but his fingers were already covered with blood, and his finger bones seemed to be broken.

Li Xiu didn't stop bleeding, and then walked slowly around the room, knocking on the walls of the room as he went.

But there was no sense of touch or hearing, and even if there was an empty behind the wall, he couldn't tell it that way.

"Is it possible that this room has an exit, but it can't be found because only the vision is left?" Li Xiu glanced down at the wound on his hand, and the speed of healing of the wound seemed to be the same as outside.

Because of the relationship between the demon spirit hatchlings in his body, his wounds will heal quickly.

But the speed of healing Li Xiu is probably still clear, the healing speed here is about the same as when he was outside, which proves that the speed of time flow in this has not changed, and it is not the kind of time and space dislocation in the legendary heaven and earth for a year.

After Li Xiu marked the location, he slammed his fist on the wall again, he wanted to try to see if there was a way out of this room.

Every time he smashed it, he was injured, although his body could heal quickly, and there was no longer pain, but Li Xiu knew very well that healing these wounds required energy.

Either his energy is consumed, or the energy of the demon spirit hatchlings is consumed, in short, energy needs to be consumed.

And he doesn't feel anything now, even if the blood in his body runs dry, he won't feel anything until he dies.

Now Li Xiu was very suspicious that those who had entered the trial, there must be someone like him who tried to hit the wall with his body, hoping to find an exit that might exist.

But he didn't feel anything, maybe he didn't know he was dead.

Li Xiu didn't dare to let himself bleed too much, it would make his body unable to hold on, he marked some points, he only needed to test those points, it was impossible to try all the positions in the entire room.

A long time passed, and Li Xiu finally tried all the marking points, but no wall could be pierced by him, and there was not even a trace left.

"Looks like you can't get out of this room." Li Xiu sat down again.

He didn't have much hope, the trial rules only said that he would live until the end of the trial, but he didn't say that he would find a way out, and the possibility of being able to get out was not high.

But if you can pass the trial by waiting like this, how did those people die?

Could it be that they have been here for so long that they have all gone crazy and committed suicide?

Although it is true that there is also this possibility, it is possible for a person to be locked up in such a place, if he really stays in such a place for a hundred years, and does not go out, and does not know when the trial will end, and commits suicide in despair.

"Is it really going to take a hundred years?" In Li Xiu's timekeeping, twenty-four hours have passed, and if the trial is not over after three days, I'm afraid there will really be a problem.

Whether it's hundreds of years of physical experience, or only the brain's senses, it's not an easy thing to bear.

Li Xiu found that although he didn't feel anything, he could feel sleepy, and he wanted to sleep.

Li Xiuqiang supported himself not to fall asleep, and continued to time in his heart.

One day...... Two days...... Three days...... Four days......

By the time it was the fourth day, he already knew that Chu Jun's description was not wrong, and that there might really be a problem with the cognitive time of his brain, and it was very likely that he would really have to stay here for decades or even hundreds of years before he could complete the trial.

Fifteen days later, Li Xiu still didn't die, which made him sure that the time experienced by the body and the time experienced by the brain were definitely different.

Even if the human body does not feel, it is impossible to sustain fifteen days without water, and there must be something wrong with the brain's judgment of time.

"What went wrong?" Li Xiu frowned and thought.
