As a result, neither the compilation of the official book nor Gu Chuan's own conjectures was true.

Living history was in front of him, hitting the wall and hitting the blood. The blood marks on his forehead seemed to tell the grievances.

"I knew it! I knew it! It will be him! It will be him! ”

His face was distorted to the point that it no longer looked like a human, his mouth was open, revealing a mouthful of black yellow teeth, and his voice and body had long lost their vitality with the years, and now he only stood up and shouted angrily.

"How's that dog doing now? I'm going to kill him...... Kill him...... I can't get out, you come and help me kill him, I'll write to you, write to the tower...... Tower...... Tawang, this is my right-hand man, and I can share the wealth of the Yuanta family with you. As long as you kill him, the business shop of the Yuanta family is up to you. ”

The old man called Ta Cheng seemed to be crazy, shook his head, ran up and grabbed Gu Chuan's hand, and was about to tell Gu Chuan about his great cause of revenge, saying that he had long known that person was hateful, saying that he was going to cut that son-in-law with a thousand knives now, saying that that the son-in-law would inevitably be swept out of the house by him in the end and living on the streets, saying that he seemed to be the patriarch of the Yuanta family, and it seemed that the time was still in the period of the Third Dusk War.

He was so excited at this age, like a hungry man who saw in a dream the delicacies of the mountains and the sea.

And this delicacies of the mountains and seas may have been thought about by him a long time ago, and he has been repeatedly recited in these days and nights of long imprisonment, and he has not forgotten it to this day.

Gu Chuan smelled a strong stench and musty smell on his body, and some poor old men held the old man's hand and asked him:

"Is the enemy you are talking about your sister's son-in-law? His original name was Puzhi, but he changed his name to Tazhi after joining the family, is this this person? ”

"Yes, yes! Puzhi is Puzhi! ”

His eyes were desperate for nothing but the flames of hatred. It was like a dry corpse's hand that hurt Gu Chuan's grip.

Gu Chuan said:

"Puzhi, according to my understanding...... Hundreds of solar terms ago, and before I was born, I died. When he died, he was buried with your sister. Before he died, he said that the person he respected most in his life was you. ”

"He's dead......"

Ta Cheng let go of his hand, staggered a few steps and almost fell on the crystal plate, but was quickly held up by the toeless man. This change caused the group of fish under the crystal to quickly swim away.

"Dog thing! Dog stuff! "I should have killed him...... he said in a trembling and suddenly weeping voice, "I should have killed him...... Killed ...... It's all gone, it's all gone! ”

Gu Chuan didn't know the past of this Sunset City, and he wanted to know a little but didn't know where to start, so he could only comfort the old man with a few words, so that he could calm down. The old man shrank his body, and his wrinkled face showed a dazed expression, and all the angry spirit just now had been lost. He told the toeless man to let go of his hand, and he crouched in the corner by himself, and suddenly he didn't say anything, and he didn't say anything.

Gu Chuan saw that he had calmed down, so he asked him eagerly:

"Sir, where is this? Old gentleman...... Old gentleman? ”

Gu Chuan called him twice, but he didn't respond at all, as if he was demented. A large tear rolled out of his dry eyes, sliding down his ugly face.

Then, as if he had forgotten everything that had happened before, he returned to the original question, saying:

"How did you get here? What did you do to get deported here? Is this going to be re-enabled again? ”

Gu Chuan unconsciously turned his head, wanting to ask for advice from the toeless man and His Highness, and saw His Highness looking directly at him, watching him talk.

The moment the eyes of the two met, His Highness hurriedly turned his head.

Then, His Highness opened his mouth and said softly:

"We're on a doctor's mission."

This is not said to Gu Chuan, this is said to the old man.

Gu Chuan didn't understand it for a while, and after a while, he remembered that His Royal Highness had said that her life would be taken care of by two doctors one after another. The former disappeared in the Sixth Twilight War. And the second is Mrs. Okiri.

But the old man immediately understood, and he raised his head:

"You said the doctor...... Who are you? Girl...... Can you let me see you? ”

In the silence of darkness, Her Highness did not say much, except for a slender hand-held lamp, and the flickering light illuminated the outline of half of her face. She was neither nervous nor afraid, and her face was as calm as if she had been ordered to send a messenger.

So Gu Chuan was even more sure that she was lying. Because this person is most likely to show a confused look, not a calm look. Moreover, there is no need for her to deceive this prisoner, but it is necessary to deceive this old man.

His Highness is indeed guessing.

Because this old man called Ta Cheng was imprisoned, it must be related to His Majesty. Assuming that she is the daughter of the crown, but she has been raised by doctors for a long time, then there must be a secret in the meantime.

The old man looked up tremblingly, and then looked at it for a long time.

His Highness kept his head down, and his dense eyelashes cast a long shadow in the dim light, which was extremely cute. And the shadow of the old man crouching on the ground left the light, and melted into the darkness, which could not be analyzed.

"I see...... Girl, and you, you must have suffered a lot...... What are you here for? ”

No one knew what the old man's eyes could see, but his tone did soften.

Gu Chuan looked at His Highness in surprise, and His Highness also looked at Gu Chuan in surprise. The toeless man looked at the two men who were looking at each other in surprise.

His Royal Highness was puzzled, and only said:

"Old gentleman, I heard that when the Yuanta family renovated here, there was a secret passage out of the city, and we wanted to find that secret passage to check it."

The old man stood up in silence. He took two steps, leaned over, and was about to fall to the ground. Gu Chuan hurriedly supported him, and he said again:

"Okay, let's go."

His Royal Highness walked beside Gu Chuan, and the toeless man walked behind.

The crystal floor that seems to cover the whole room beneath your feet is constantly shining in the light of lanterns.

While helping the old man, Gu Chuan was thinking about how to find out some information, so he poked his head to His Highness's side, wanting to whisper to His Highness's ear and ask her to ask questions. Who knew that His Highness had been looking at him, and when he saw his sneaky appearance, he blinked, shook his head, and asked directly:

"What do you want to say to me? Gu Chuan. ”

It's embarrassing.

Gu Chuan originally wanted His Highness to ask the old man his original question. That's not going to work. He asked directly at the old man of the Ta clan:

"I've always wanted to ask what exactly is this area? Can you tell me, old man? And why did you get to such a point? ”

The old man shook his head for a while, as if he hadn't heard anything.

No, it's better to say than not to hear...... It was as if it was a sudden, fleeting, partial memory—at his age, many things were no longer reliably remembered, and even what had just happened could be forgotten in an instant.

After a while, the young man was anxious, curious and tickled, and asked a few more questions. The old man woke up like a dream, asked Gu Chuan to repeat the question, and he replied:

"Didn't the doctor tell you anything?"

Ahead, the crystal floor forked. A wooden staircase appeared in the middle, leading to the lower floor.

They walked down the stairs. It was discovered that the wood was originally embedded in the edge of the crystal. The wooden staircase is also flanked by crystal slabs. There are fish-like things swimming in the board that are not fish.

It turned out that they were standing on top of a large "aquarium", but now, walking down the stairs, to the foot of the "aquarium".

His Royal Highness gave Gu Chuan a patch:

"The doctor was urgently summoned by His Majesty this day, and he ran away without telling us."

The old man looked at them suspiciously, and felt that it didn't matter, so he only bent down and coughed a few times.

"Did I tell you before that His Majesty thinks that the way to permanently possess the power of strange things is to put strange things into his body?"

"Yes."

"This is where this technology comes to life."

The old man said flatly.

In the liquid closed by the crystal, the fish that had been swimming freely seemed to sense their presence, and reached the edge of the crystal in the rippling ripples.

The toeless man leaned on the crystal with his hand raised and let out a cheerful exclamation.

He waved his hand as he walked.

Those "fish" obviously had no eyes, but they came with the hands of the toeless, and the toeless man was so happy that for some reason he laughed heartlessly.

"How did you put a strange thing into your body and achieve it in this crystal box?"

Gu Chuan glanced at the toeless man, then turned his head and asked the old man. The old man asked:

"How many strange things have you seen?"

"I haven't seen much."

"But you should also know that strange things come in all kinds of shapes, right? The reason why people are sure that something is strange is that they have found some kind of ...... The solidity of a certain substance. They are always very difficult to destroy...... "said the old man, "some are very large, they may be larger than a person, some are small, they may be smaller than a little finger...... So the simplest fit into the body, for small objects, isn't it easy to imagine? ”

At that time, His Highness lifted the lamp slightly, and the light turned back and forth on the crystal plate, like a sparkling wave in the water, illuminating the faceless creatures who seemed to be still in the primordial differentiation.

"As long as you want to put something on your body, there is always a way to put it." The old man's gaze was on the swaying fish, "Ear piercing is such a technique that has been passed down for a long time, and it has become the custom of beautiful women in our family, and it is the practice of women who are afraid of pain. There are also people who put strange objects in their mouths. ”

"But these are also inconvenient. The ears can only be connected to the size of a finger, which is easy to tear off, and it is difficult to eat and speak if the mouth hides something, and it has extraordinary and demanding requirements for the function of strange objects. So at the time of the First Twilight War, I don't know who it was, but I only knew that someone came up with a way to peel off the skin and hide the strange object under the skin. ”

Gu Chuan was immediately frightened.

"Won't you get sick and die?"

"It's an easy operation, and if you put three inches of mud on the surface, it won't be fatal." The old man said.

His Royal Highness explained to Gu Chuan that the three-inch mud was a deformable clay-like strange thing, a bit like the plasticine that Gu Chuan knew. At first, the three inches of mud were a complete piece. However, one of the characteristics of the three-inch mud is that it can be divided by physical methods, so unconsciously, the twelve families in the inner city more or less retain a part.

The undead of the past walked in a trance in the dim light, among the fish in the crystal chest. As an example, he continued:

"The face, chin, neck, shoulders, limbs, hands and feet, upper and lower abdomen, flanks, and fatty areas are all possible locations. The process of hiding is simple, the tools are scissors and stitching. For the human body that needs to be practiced, first choose the place where the strange object is hidden, and then you can prepare for the knife. In the case of the back, for example, the skin is usually cut along a bone in the back, and then the skin is torn to both sides. But it is generally not peeled off, but the skin is spread like the wings of a bird...... There's fat between the skin, and the fat you may not know looks a bit like yellow or white lumps...... Hehe...... The fat is under the skin, and it needs to be scraped off with a small blade, and when it is scraped, there will be juice sprayed on the person's face. Anyone who is in pain by that time will die of pain and struggle. But the victim must not move, because if you move, the blade may cut your muscles and cut off your muscles and flesh! That's it, it's over...... So, in order to prevent people from moving, I still remember...... At first, the doctors' practice was to tie people up, but later, at the request of the families, a new method emerged, which was to bury people in a heavy jar so that people would not move. Jars come in a variety of styles, each with its head exposed. The difference lies in the area of skin exposed. Jars are cumbersome to make...... Fortunately, it wasn't long before someone extracted a liquid from the plant that could make people feel like they were asleep......

Gu Chuan shuddered and said:

"Is it anesthetic......

"Anesthesia? Anesthesia is a good word, and it's a bit like getting drunk with numbness...... After anesthesia, the person will no longer scream, he will feel comfortable, as if he has ascended to a fairyland...... This anesthesia was later sold well as a commodity...... "said the old man, "and after scraping off the fat, you could put the strange object in it." Strange things are also different. Some strange objects have a sharp metal appearance, and if they are thrown directly into it, they will kill people, so it is necessary to use a bubble sac-like material taken out of the body of the black grass carp to package the strange objects, so that the strange objects will not pierce the bones or intestines, and then apply three inches of mud to save their lives, and then use needles and threads to sew the skin back together, and the operation is considered complete. After surgery, this area will generally look like a hollow sac, swollen and large, but it will leave an opening, just like the pores of acne after swelling, which cannot be picked or squeezed. This pore is to take out the three inches of mud again...... Three-inch mud is very precious and can be reused and cannot be left in one place. The few days when I pulled out the three-inch mud must have been the most painful, as if a finger-thick tube had been inserted into my arm. ”

The old man chattered, and Gu Chuan was terrified when he heard it.

The more he followed the old man's words, the more he felt chills all over his body, and he knew that there must have been countless experiments that had been experienced and then died painfully by accident. All kinds of inflammation can make people suffer.

And, without a trace, he glanced at the old man.

Isn't it all this guy...... Experienced first-hand ...... There may be similar lumps left on the body. This kind of imagination made Gu Chuan's scalp tingle.

But Gu Chuan was still puzzled:

"It's still going to die, right? It's too dangerous...... Why do you have to get the strange thing into your body, just to never lose it? Isn't life more important than strange things? ”

At that time, Gu Chuan didn't understand the power of strange things.

The old man did not refute, but said:

"Yes, young man, you are right. At that time, people also thought the same way, life is always the most important. As a result, they are constantly improving the operation in order to completely reduce the mortality rate. ”

He spoke blandly, then turned his gaze to the vast crystal chest. They were already very close to the end of the crystal chest.

"Some people don't want to go down this path, so they take another path...... For example, here you are seeing right now. Look closely at the bottom of the box. ”

This is something that Gu Chuan didn't pay attention to. Previously, they had been standing on top of the crystal chest, unable to see the bottom.

They stopped.

Gu Chuan stepped forward, leaned against the edge of the crystal box, and looked down.

He saw a layer of coral-like underneath the crystal chest. The corals are graceful, and their brilliant colors are like flowers on the ground, showing many branches, like trees open at the bottom of the water.

These things are also like trees that open at the bottom of the water, but unfortunately have no color, only white.

It took a while for Gu Chuan to understand that these pale were all human skin.
