The smell of the air inside is strong.

Gu Chuan and His Highness stood in front of this crowd that seemed to be sleeping, as if they had known the world for the first time. The characteristic of deformed people can be summed up, that is, the growth of organs that do not originally belong to humans. There is also a rare situation where multiple births in the womb of the original woman are joined together.

"There are many kinds of strange things that have been used, such as a strange thing called steel blue." The old man explained, "This strange thing resembles a slender intestine, but it will take on a deep cyan color. I don't know much about its usefulness, but it is said that if you put steel cyan in front of you, you can move more agilely, just like the resistance of the wind is gone. It is found in the body of animals, and the body surface of animals with a steely blue color will show obvious green tendons. Every few solar terms, you will find that the green tendons are getting longer, and later they became the collection of the citizen family, and when the crown wanted to do experiments, they were requisitioned and tried to sew them into the ...... Inside the womb of a man. ”

Even though it was a treasure of the clan, Gu Chuan remembered that it was written in the history chapter of the encyclopedia that since the victory of the First Dusk War, the order issued by the crown was the greatest iron law of Sunset City. Therefore, there is no need for a reason to expropriate strange objects from citizen families.

He muttered:

"Isn't that crazy?"

The old man suddenly stood still, and glanced at Gu Chuan with a sharp look in his eyes:

"Are you questioning Your Majesty?"

When Gu Chuan heard this, his heart was shocked, and his head turned sharply, and then he realized the fragmentation of this old man—although the old man did not agree with the crown in his tone, he never thought of resisting the crown.

"Sir, I didn't say that Your Majesty is crazy...... I just feel that those who serve His Majesty have failed to do a good job, and they are ashamed of Sunset City. ”

He explained euphemistically.

"That's not bad then."

The old man gave him a suspicious look, then staggered forward.

"There are too few good doctors and good capable people."

He didn't need Gu Chuan's support anymore.

Gu Chuan followed behind him, and he could see that these human bodies were all different deformities, and this deformity was strange. Some people still have dark brown umbilical cords attached to their navels, some people have extra legs or hands, some people have huge bulges on their faces, push their eyes to both sides, and make the bridge of their nose completely disappear, like a huge potato, some people have knees growing in the opposite direction, and some people are ...... His head turned, facing straight behind him, and his neck bulged out of a large lump. Often, the places where these malformed organs occur have abnormal colors, and you can see that there are strange objects in them, or parts of strange objects, that are attached to the skin.

It's like a living fetus that exists somewhere.

Gu Chuan asked the old man. But this old man named Ta Cheng didn't talk about the principle, and he didn't even know how the operation was done at that time, only these belonged to the details.

This made Gu Chuan even more suspicious of the role that this old man played in this past incident.

Every deformed person looks horrible. He was instinctively disgusted, and some of them were so disgusting that he would vomit for two lifetimes, covering his eyes with his hands. But under the cover, he couldn't help but want to take a few more looks, so as to satisfy his curiosity.

And this curiosity satisfied his mind flew away in an ocean of unknown imagination. He muttered in the light:

"Strange things seem to multiply with people."

The lights drifted through the deep darkness. The four men walked alone in the light, and the deformed people who appeared to be alive on display here kept floating into the light from the front, revealing the outline of their own person, and soon disappeared behind the light, and the just clear outline disappeared into the darkness behind.

The old man was stunned, sleepwalked a distance, and suddenly asked:

"Breeding...... Why do you use this word? ”

Gu Chuan said:

"That was my first feeling."

He looked blankly into the distance:

"Perhaps...... Maybe it's a strange thing...... It's in the human body, along the human bloodline, and it's reproducing ......"

The existence of strange things has long exceeded the common sense of Gu Chuan's original world, making him scared and angry. He saw the old man look down, looking at the deformed people who seemed to be still breathing on the ground with a complicated expression that he could not read.

Toeless people are also deformed.

But he didn't speak, and kept hiding behind Gu Chuan, only poking out half of his face, looking at these strange people carefully. When the toeless man saw these freaks for the first time, his confused head buzzed, and he himself trembled in horror for some reason.

And these horribly ugly deformed people, in the dimness, gave him extraordinary confusion and fear.

Gu Chuan noticed this, thought of the origin of the toeless man, and asked the old man again:

"Is there a mutation among these people that has no nails?"

Maybe the Toeless Man was one of those strange creatures, he thought.

Who knew that the old man turned his head and showed a confused expression:

"No nails...... There is no such deformity. Have you ever seen this deformity? …… I haven't seen ......."

The lights were dim, and the old man never noticed the heresy of the toeless man.

Gu Chuan raised the hand of the toeless man to show the old man:

"Well, you see my friend doesn't have nails on his hands. Doesn't this have anything to do with strange things? ”

The toeless man was a little nervous, he didn't know why Gu Chuan asked like this, but he still obeyed this friend's wishes. Friend is a special new word...... The Toeless Man had a gut feeling that the old man was by no means his friend.

The old man looked at it in detail and fell into deep thought:

"Then I remembered...... The first time I came to the dungeon, I had seen people without nails like this...... I don't know where they came from, maybe they were early transcendents...... Maybe not. ”

The old man also did not know the origin of the toeless man.

He continued to walk forward indifferently, leading the three of them to a possible exit.

"They don't look like they're dead, can they still stand up?"

Gu Chuan asked again.

"Absolutely." The old man said, "You have seen them move, too. ”

"What?"

The old man replied slowly, squinting:

"Because they're the prisoners."

Gu Chuan's hair stood on end all of a sudden, and His Royal Highness also looked sideways slightly, remembering the prisoner he had knocked down.

"The so-called prisoners are deformed people in armor. Their intelligence is mostly low and they can only understand very superficial orders.

"And what are these prisoners sleeping here doing now?"

"They're sleeping."

The old man led the three of them forward, and His Highness seemed to realize something, and lifted the lamp a little. So the light illuminated the sneaky and changing shadows on the distant walls. If you look closely, it is not the shadow of any animal, but the smoke that is wafting from all around.

"Sleeping...... Don't they have to eat? Don't you have to sleep? ”

"His Majesty used a special strange thing, sandalwood incense, this kind of thing can save their lives, as long as they smell it for a long time, it will make them fall into a state of sleep, and at the same time, they will not excrete, and they do not need to eat, just like turtle breath, the pulse will drop to a very low level...... Life is longer......"

The old man's words were chattering, and no one at the scene could understand the exact meaning.

"The incense of sandalwood put them to sleep...... What if I kick them now? ”

"It's fine when you're asleep, but it hurts when you're awake."

After hearing this, Gu Chuan said:

"And what if I cut them in two?"

The old man calmly walked forward:

"It's dead, and it's going to rot in a few days. No one can disobey the principles of heaven. ”

Then, the old man tilted his head slightly and added:

"Let's go forward, we'll be passing through the incense room soon."

"The secret passage to the outside is also close, isn't it?"

"Yes."

Open the small door on one side of the incense room, and there is a narrow swirling corridor. Gu Chuan walked forward for a distance, and he felt a burst of living air, instead of the terrifyingly silent air in the incense room just now.

His Highness carried the lantern forward, only to see a burst of brilliance in front of him.

It turned out to be a color-changing stone wall. There is also a small door in the color-changing stone wall.

"Forward is a pathway."

The old man said.

"From there, it's time to leave the dungeon. You go there and check it out, the road is slippery outside, I don't dare to accompany it...... Hope to make the doctors above satisfied. ”

After speaking, the old man lost his mind and was about to walk back.

This made Gu Chuan very puzzled:

"Wait!"

The old man stood in the aisle and turned his head:

"Anything else?"

"You know that there is an escape passage underground, and you know how to escape, and you have a reason to escape...... You're the patriarch of the Round Tower family, why don't you go out? ”

Gu Chuan asked from afar.

A lot of dust fell from the ceiling from the voice of a person who had not been seen for a long time, and it fell on the young man who was about to go out and the old man who was about to walk back.

The old man named Ta Cheng straightened his waist, and when he heard this, he turned around again, looked at Gu Chuan, and showed the big ugly scar on his face.

Gu Chuan stood on the edge of the small door of the color-changing stone wall, and his eyebrows revealed the unique delicate air of a young man. The dark eyes wrapped in soft eyelids reveal a shallow understanding of the world. The old man realized that this man must have done something great, but he was still a young man in this world.

"Offended Your Majesty, for the Round Tower Family, I am the best to die...... No one will ever see me again, and I can't have a place in Sunset City anymore. ”

"You can leave Sunset City."

"...... leaving Sunset City?" The old man's body trembled, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment, "Because it is an era of peace, you will have such thoughts...... Only Sunset City is the only peaceful ...... And only Sunset City can give people life...... Otherwise, why don't you get along with those backward and ignorant border people? ”

The leader of the Round Pagoda family was full of disdain for the border people, and Gu Chuan's face was not good-looking.

But he has one last question:

"What did you offend?"

The old man began to stagger back, gradually falling into the darkness of the hallway. His lifespan has been timed by death, and it could disappear at any moment.

At the last moment before disappearing, he said:

"I went against His Majesty's wishes, maybe the same as the people around you wanted to get you out of the dungeon."

He had already guessed that Gu Chuan was a prisoner.

Gu Chuan was taken aback, but he thought about the mess on his body, and it was common for his identity and His Highness's identity to be guessed by this old man, but he wanted to ask again, but the old man had disappeared at the end of the darkness and was no longer seen.

At that time, the toeless man patted Gu Chuan's shoulder and asked him:

"What's wrong?"

When he turned his head to look at the toeless man, he was biased against His Highness, who was standing quietly on the side. His Highness held a lantern in his hand, without saying a word, and there was a bright and quiet fire in his eyes that reflected the light.

Her eyes were earnestly gazed, but with a strange fear, as if people were gazing at the boundless, bottomless sea in the distance.

"Are you afraid to take me with you again?"

Gu Chuan suddenly asked at that time.

His Highness shook his head and said:

"Afraid ......? I'm not afraid, I'm thinking about what you're going to do when you get out? ”

Gu Chuan laughed, he remembered what His Highness said to him when they met:

"Then you won't know how far you can go until you get out."

"That'...... Let's go? ”

His Highness shrank his head and whispered.

"Well, let's go."

Gu Chuan took one last look at this strange dungeon, he knew that there were definitely many mysteries here, but maybe he would never know about it again.

Then he sped away without looking back.

It's a long way out, a few rooms and another crevice. And the way back was short. Ta Cheng is clear about this.

However, Ta Cheng is an old man over 100 years old, and he often gets tired when he walks, so he rests against the wall for a while, thinking back to the past, so that he can forget his gender, which consumes a lot of time. Then he walked in a little longer, and went into the incense room, and when he smelled the fragrance, he suddenly thought:

"Why don't I smell the incense and fall asleep?"

It's a good idea. He had forgotten why he didn't want to fall asleep in the first place, but stayed on top of the living box.

It may be that he thought that in addition to the deformed children in the living box, there would also be a miracle called the crown that his wife liked.

Except for the prisoners, His Majesty's original experiment was a success. Only then did he die again.

But when he thought about it, he felt that he didn't think so.

"I'm not waiting for the second one, and the second won't be the first. Yes, everything is unique...... Every favorite thing is unique to a person......"

He sat down beside the deformed child, sniffed deeply at the strange air in the room, and prepared to fall asleep forever.

But at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the depths of the darkness.

He barely raised his head, and in a drowsy state, he saw the silhouettes of three people emerging from the dark shadows.

And all three of them wore ribbons on their bodies.

The ribbon theory is a signature decoration designed for the future bureaucracy that exists only in his drafts. At that time, he did not know what kind of bureaucratic system would form in the council.

Although Ta Cheng was born into a family of architects, his only hobby in life was design.

"It's been a long, long time out there, maybe it's already in use...... Does this mean that His Majesty forgave me in the end? ”

As soon as he thought of this, the face of one of the three men appeared straight in front of him, and with his head down, he pinched his chin and brushed his hair away, so that he was forced to raise his head and look at the other side.

"Looks like finding a ...... Interesting ancients. ”

The man in the black ribbon said in amazement.
