Chapter 181: The Talents of the Special Prison
Mingdu, somewhere buried deep underground, is dedicated to the prison where soul master criminals are held.
Although nominally "criminals" are held in a broad sense, the general sentences eligible for detention here are life guarantees and death sentences.
Ordinary soul masters live a good life as a human being, and they cherish their lives for a rich life, and they rarely commit serious crimes because of ordinary people, so they ......
About half of the people imprisoned here have some relationship with the evil soul master, or are pure evil soul masters themselves.
As for why the evil soul master, who is generally fighting with other soul masters, is an existence that is your death, he was not hacked to death on the spot, but was sent to this military warehouse-level prison for detention......
Of course, because the Sun and Moon Empire also has the need to collect and store living soul masters, many biological experiments are not humane and cannot recruit volunteers, and it is impossible to catch wild soul masters casually, so they have to spend money to ask all kinds of soul masters to catch these guilty evil soul masters in for backup.
Although the Sun Moon Empire and the Evil Soul Master are not clear in many cases, the conditions that are qualified to negotiate are those who are almost impossible to exterminate the evil soul masters, and they never enter the eyes of the big people above when they make a move against the little minions below.
Therefore, the Sun and Moon Empire soul masters who can meet evil soul masters and beat them will occasionally work part-time as bounty hunters, and over time, there are also a lot of ...... in this prison Collection.
"Bang bang."
The sound of gongs and drums sounded in the corridor, different from the usual sound of hitting the rice basin with a spoon, this time the jailer who came down actually brought a gong, and was followed by a colleague holding a bound dossier.
And behind the two, there is also a mysterious person wearing a mask and a white robe, who seems to be a good cultivator.
One of the jailers solemnly struck the gong three times before he pinched the duck's throat and shouted:
"Those who are not dead have their ears pricked up and listened!"
"You guys who should have been locked up to death are blessed with great luck today, there are big people who want to use people to test medicines, and there are still a lot of talents needed, let you pick them up!"
After listening to Zhang Luo, who was the jailer, the prisoners who had been cheered up one by one sat back down dejectedly.
Talents are the same as medicinal materials.
Will someone release the unused herbs after refining the elixir? Obviously not, the alchemists will only collect the remaining medicinal materials and save them for the next refining until the medicinal materials are completely exhausted, and then collect new medicinal materials.
These people are the same, they are just materials used to experiment with the effects of drugs or other strange things, if you are lucky enough not to die once, then wait until the next time, and feeding people to waste and feed them stupidly does not mean the end of suffering, only death is the only way to get out.
What if you are brought out to test the medicine for the big guys? Either this time or the next time, you can only regain your freedom when you swallow your breath and burp your fart; It is better to die than to live, at least in order to maintain their physical condition, the food and other living conditions given in this prison are not considered abuse, who wants to be the person who tries the medicine?
After all, raising mice in the laboratory has to pay attention to scientific breeding, not to mention the scarce number of soul masters......
Seeing that none of these felons rose up to respond, the jailer carrying the gong snorted heavily and scolded: "I don't know how to grasp the opportunity when it comes, I can't catch up with the heat when I grab shit and eat, a bunch of idiots!" ”
In the cells, the murderous gazes of the prisoners, who had nothing to lose but their lives, pierced through the walls, but the jailers were not worried, and even enjoyed themselves.
The entire prison is covered with a lot of magic circles that suppress soul power, and the prisoners can't invoke a trace of soul power at all, and their combat power is not as high as that of ordinary people, even the jailer, the three-ring soul venerable, can use the soul guide in his hand to shield the soul guide suppressed by the magic circle, and he is proud of these guys who were even soul emperors in the past.
"It's all for Lao Tzu, this adult is very kind-hearted, his hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he promises you that if you participate in the drug test and go through a few rounds of the process and don't die, you will be free! Even death row prisoners! ”
Freely!
Tata Open!
When the words "return your freedom" fell, the prisoners who had tacitly pretended to be dead and shook their faces reached a tacit understanding on another level in an instant.
"Daddy! Look at me, Daddy! ”
"Grandpa, what do you think of me?"
"My lord, I'm me, I'm me! I was wronged by that slut when I stepped on a horse! Not only have I never killed anyone, but I have also treated ordinary people! ”
"You believe me, the people in here are the cleanest of me, I used to be a soul emperor, I have been exercising every day all these years, and keeping it can best meet the requirements of that adult!"
The jailer first smiled and scolded: "Give Lao Tzu a daily exercise? I see you're dreaming about jailbreaking! It's really not honest! ”
To be honest, he didn't understand why he wanted to give this group of mortals who were not dead now because they still had some value as a promise to restore their freedom, didn't they just need to try some medicine and just pull them over and get injections?
But after all, it was a big man's business, and it didn't help him to think it out too much, so he simply didn't think about it, which was one of the secrets of keeping his stupid pleasure alive.
"Don't think things are too pretty! As mentioned above, this time I want to give you an experiment to quickly improve the drug that has reached the bottleneck, and maybe it will be improved twice in a row! You are all people who have been soul masters, and you know that this means that most of your cultivation is useless, even if you are lucky enough not to fall into cultivation, it is impossible for you to keep your cultivation to go out and harm people, at most you are allowed to keep two rings of cultivation to taste the taste of being a soul master from time to time! ”
"In addition, the freedom rewarded to you is also limited, and those who survive must also live in a town other than the designated Ming Capital, and wear a lifetime of soul power and foot handburns on their feet to prevent escape, as long as the person does not die, they must report to the local designated authority every week!"
"In addition, your citizen ID card will also leave a criminal record for the rest of your life, and you will not be allowed to enter and leave certain public places."
Citizen ID card? What the hell is this?
The prisoners, who had been squatting for an unknown amount of time, looked at each other through the iron window, they had obviously not heard of this new thing, but they fully understood what the jailer meant.
"Okay, I also made the above meaning clear, now who still wants to sign up for a drug trial, say it and listen."
This time, someone hesitated.
Having been a soul master and experiencing the taste of being a human being, he suddenly told them that even if they were lucky enough to gain limited freedom, they would have to survive as an inferior citizen whose citizenship rights were inferior to ordinary people's rights in the future, and it was difficult for a high-minded person to make a choice.
However, it is clear that there are more people who are clear-headed and can figure out the joints.
No matter how low the cultivation level is, and the freedom to harvest is restricted, isn't it better than being kept as a "human being" as a pig without the slightest cultivation and freedom?
"My lord, I do, I do! Don't talk about the two-ring cultivation, it's okay to abolish my soul power! ”
"This master, I secretly buried some treasures before I was caught, and only I know about that place, if you don't dislike it, you will be my filial piety!"
The jailer pinched the duck's throat and yelled "Get out of my face."
"I, I, I, I don't know if adults have ever been married? I have a beautiful niece who has been beautiful since I was a child, and I can guarantee that she will be your wife...... It's okay to be a concubine! ”
The duck's throat turned even redder, and the jailer's face turned even redder, and he stretched out his foot and kicked the prisoner's railing repeatedly.
"Get out, you step on the horse and get out of the way! You scum still want to get out of prison, waiting for Lao Tzu to recommend you to the next batch of talents, dog thing! ”
It's not necessarily that he is noble, and he is not interested in the twenty-eight-year-old concubine...... The main reason is that he is now having a hot fight with the daughter of the leader, and there are colleagues next to him who are watching and maybe they will make a small report, so he doesn't dare to talk nonsense at this time.
"Look...... Can I? ”
The jailer let out a fire of evil, and the messy prison cleared for a moment, when a weak but peaceful voice came from the cell behind him.
The jailer turned to look, and the man in the cell looked relatively young - it was nothing, soul masters were usually good-looking, but the man obviously had a peaceful temperament that was not in tune with this prison, and he seemed to have no objection to his fate, and he seemed to be still polite even in a desperate situation.
The first impression of the person in front of him was not bad, so the jailer asked his colleague who was holding the file next to him, "What's the matter with him?" ”
The jailer holding the file glanced at the number on the top of the cell, opened the file and looked for a moment before he slowly spoke:
"Zhang Coco...... Tsk, this name is weird enough, it sounds childish, like a female name. ”
The face of the man in the cell remained the same peaceful expression, unchanged.
"The sentence is the death penalty, because the soul master escaped a catastrophe and was sent here, and the case recorded in the original file was...... Hey? ”
With a soft sigh, the jailer continued:
"When you were thirteen years old, your family and your neighbors violently beat each other over a land dispute, and you witnessed your mother being hit in the head with a stick in front of you and died......"
"Twenty-two years later, you already have the Four Rings to cultivate...... This progress is not very good, you resigned from your position in the local research institute and returned to your hometown, taking advantage of the opportunity to reunite the family of the enemy who killed your mother during the holiday period, and broke in, and stabbed the whole family of the enemy who had not cultivated himself...... The pictures left on file are bloody enough. ”
"After leaving the savings you have saved over the years to your family, you ran to turn yourself in...... Hey, I remembered, it seemed to be a lot of trouble back then, and even Ming Du talked about it because of this, but I didn't expect to see you here today. ”
"Should I praise you for being a man, or are you killing your whole family too extreme after all?"
Zhang Keke finally showed a wry smile on his face, shook his head and said, "Say whatever you want...... I just want to taste freedom again. If I can't resist and die, then I deserve it, and now I may be able to catch up with my mother's son in my life......"
"Well, it's been almost thirty years since then, and according to this time, maybe she can be a young lady from a big family in her life, which is not a bad thing."
"So...... How about you give me a chance? ”
The two jailers looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at the mysterious man in a white robe and mask behind them.
The latter pinched his chin and nodded slowly.
…………
When the blindfolded and soul-bound criminals who were about to gamble their lives were unblindfolded and wearing soul restraints and suppressed to a very low level of soul power, they found themselves in a brightly lit but apparently underground research institute.
On the other side in front of them, there were several soul beasts that had been restrained, and it seemed that their cultivation was not too high.
"Your Excellency, the first batch of experimental talents has been brought in, and all preparations are in place."
Everyone in the institute was wearing a uniform mask and a white coat to hide their physical features, and the researcher who had been reminded and was obviously of a high status nodded when he heard this, stretched out his hand and asked:
"What about the personnel information sheet? Let me see. ”
"Here, please take a look."
Taking the memo, Huo Yuhao flipped through the contents of it, and when he saw the handwritten remarks after the first name, the corners of his eyebrows under the mask furrowed slightly.
"Zhang Keke, White, Yellow, Yellow and Purple Four-Ring Soul Sect."
"Notes: It is recommended that this person be placed in the first round of Experiment A."
Huo Yuhao couldn't help but feel a little surprised by this specially written note, this prisoner couldn't have reached some PY deal with Teacher Yu who was arranged to pick people, right?
Teacher Yu is not such a person, and he is not short of money to that extent, not to mention what kind of oil and water can a soul sect that has taken the white ring for ten years? Unlikely......
After carefully reading the information recorded in the file below, Huo Yuhao was relieved, he didn't expect that the prison that had been blown up to the sky by the Red Dust Hall Master still contained criminal criminals who seemed to be less heinous......
Huo Yuhao decided to take Mr. Yu's suggestion and give this Mr. Zhang a chance.
He subjectively has no desire to use people as disposable consumables, but if this gentleman is really bad, then it is no wonder that he is not in good shape.
"Zhang Keke!"
"I'm ......"
"Get out of the queue and stand in this green circle on the ground."
Zhang Keke stepped forward nervously under the sympathetic eyes of the other inmates, and stood in the area with the green circle.
"Is there anything I need to do?"
"You can do whatever you want, don't ask too much, because if you disturb the ritual without permission, you will be disabled or even killed, and you will bear the consequences." Huo Yuhao spoke in a flat tone.
Rite?
All the inmates who had just been brought out looked at each other, didn't they mean that they had been arrested and brought to test the medicine?
Then I saw the soul beasts that were tied to the opposite side...... Isn't this some kind of unspeakable living sacrifice ritual that transcends species?
Never mind...... Anyway, the survival rate of the first round of the drug trial was pitifully low, and it made no difference how those adults arranged it.
"Zhang Keke, your cultivation before you were imprisoned was exactly level 50, and you didn't have a soul ring attached, right?"
"Yes."
"That's right, save a pill, and then don't open your mouth no matter what happens, until I ask you, and you will answer in the affirmative."
Zhang Keke just wanted to answer "understood", but turned his head to think of the researcher's previous advice, and nodded again and again.
Huo Yuhao didn't say much at home, and after a ten-year soul beast was pulled to the predetermined area, he slowly opened his mouth to chant the freshly baked spell that Electrolux had improved after flipping through Shrek's books.
Zhang Keke listened to the syllables of unknown meaning with a pale face, as if listening to the words of the devil, and he couldn't help but wonder if he could be released alive after seeing them.
After a while, Huo Yuhao stopped chanting the incantation and said to the ten-year soul beast in the language of the Douluo Continent instead:
"Are you willing to become Zhang Keke's soul, eternal and faithful to be one with his body and mind?"
"If you speak, I'll agree, and if you don't, I'll acquiesce."
