Chapter 1 Hell
“Hey”
“Alive! Finally alive!”
…
Drowsily, Xie Shen heard There was cheering in his ears, so he opened his eyes suddenly.
He looked around and found himself in a dark room.
There was another skinny man in the room, with a crazy expression on his face, staring at Xie Shen like a demon.
What's going on?
Am I already dead?
Xie Shen remembers it very clearly: after he traveled from the earth to the realm of cultivation, he practiced hard all the way on thin ice until he reached the Great Consummation of the Nascent Soul Stage.
Then, when trying to break through the bottleneck, he unfortunately suffered a disaster and died.
No bones were left when he died, and the tragedy is still vivid in his mind.
But now, why is it inexplicably alive again?
…
“You’re awake”
in the room.
Seeing Xie Shen wake up, the scrawny man put away the madness on his face.
He forced a smile and said kindly: "Brother, I resurrected you, do you still remember your name?"
"I don't remember, I feel like it now I have a terrible headache." Out of caution, Xie Shen did not rush to respond directly, but asked: "Where is this place? You just said you resurrected me, so you said I was dead before?"
"Don't you know how you died?" The skinny man looked thoughtful and said, "Then do you still know where you lived before and who you knew?"
There is something wrong with this man.
Seeing that the skinny man only asked questions about himself and was unwilling to reveal any information, Xie Shen suddenly became wary.
He did not respond to the other party's question, but secretly mobilized the spiritual power in his body, trying to forcibly subdue the other party with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
But.
At the moment when he tried to use the spiritual power in his body, Xie Shen discovered that after his resurrection from the dead, his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation had also disappeared.
He is now no different from a mortal.
"Hey! Why didn't you speak?" Seeing Xie Shen was silent, the skinny man spoke again: "I'm asking you: what is your name and where do you live? Tell me so I can help you verify your identity. , and then register."
"Register?" Xie Shen was startled when he heard this.
But the skinny man said again: "Well, all the resurrected people must be registered, and then the space station will arrange a job for you, as well as a place to live, food and water."
A space station?
Xie Shen captured two useful pieces of information from the other party's words.
First: He is currently suspected to be in a place called a 'space station'. Most of the places that can be called 'space stations' are deep sea, outer space, polar regions and other extreme environments that are not suitable for human survival. .
Second: The space station is suspected of being militarized, which shows that the humans there are most likely to have encountered some kind of disaster.
Of course.
The above inferences must be based on the premise that the other party did not lie.
After having some concerns in his mind, Xie Shen smiled and said with a hint of apology in his tone: "I'm so sorry, my head really hurts. Can you let me rest first and give me some water to drink? Wait until I recover." Is it okay to cooperate with you? "
"You"
Seeing that Xie Shen was still unwilling to reveal any information about himself, the skinny man changed his previous friendly attitude.
He became more and more flustered and irritable, and finally couldn't help shouting at Xie Shen: "Can't you just cooperate? Why don't you cooperate?"
The skinny one The man seemed to be afraid of something: while he roared lowly, his eyes kept looking around the room.
Something is wrong.
Realizing that something was wrong, Xie Shen subconsciously took two steps back.
As expected.
The next second, several mechanical arms were seen stretching out from the ceiling of the room, pressing the skinny man to the ground.
“I was wrong, I was wrong! Don’t shock me!”
After being pushed to the ground by the mechanical hand, the skinny man immediately began to tremble and convulse. No matter how he begged for mercy, it was of no avail.
It was obvious that he was suffering from electric shock.
In order to avoid being affected by Chi Yu, Xie Shen hurriedly huddled in the corner of the room and observed everything around him with great concentration. Lean less.
As the burning smell came out, the skinny man was no longer human.
It looked like he was dead.
After this person died, a burst of electronic synthesized sound sounded from the room:
[Deng Bin, the resurrected person, was born at 9:13 on August 1, 2035. His birthplace is Southeast Asia, Chinese. 】
The resurrected?
What does it mean?
The sudden sound shocked Xie Shen's whole body.
He looked around hurriedly, and finally fixed his gaze on the ground with weird geometric patterns painted on it.
Under Xie Shen’s gaze, the surface of the weird geometric pattern began to emit a faint light.
A few seconds later, a human figure appeared above the geometric pattern, and gradually turned from virtual to real.
This man is skinny.
Judging from his appearance, it was Deng Bin who had just been electrocuted to death by a robotic arm.
Such an incredible scene made Xie Shen feel inexplicably shocked:
Is this
some kind of magic that can resurrect people out of thin air without any cost?
So, he was resurrected by this spell?
After witnessing the whole process of Deng Bin being resurrected, Xie Shen soon realized something again - if he guessed correctly, there are roughly two conditions for the execution of this resurrection technique:
First, it is necessary Draw that weird geometric pattern on the ground.
Second, it is necessary to accurately tell the details of the resurrected person.
Perhaps because of this, Deng Bin kept asking for Xie Shen's identity information.
As for why Dun Bin was electrocuted alive by the robot
in the room.
Xie Shen asked the resurrected Deng Bin: "The reason why you were shocked just now was because you failed to find out my identity, right?"
"Yeah"
It was obviously not the first time that Dunbin was electrocuted to death by a robotic hand.
After being resurrected, he did not show any fear. Instead, he grinned and said: "According to the regulations, as long as I don't ask for your identity, I will be electrocuted to death by the robot in the tower."
< br>
Then he changed the topic and said: "Then after that, it will be your turn."
"It's my turn?" Xie Shen frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Dunbin stopped responding and just looked up above his head.
Following his gaze, those mechanical arms stretched out from the ceiling of the room again, and easily imprisoned Xie Shen on the wall.
——Although Xie Shen was reborn as a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, after his resurrection from the dead, he had long lost his previous cultivation, and no matter how many methods he had, he could not use them at this moment.
"Brother, don't blame me." Seeing that Xie Shen had been restrained, Deng Bin began to slowly approach him: "Everyone in the tower came here like this."
"I'll tell you later. You don’t have to hold on even if I torture you.”
“If I ask you, just tell me what you need to say.”
“Whether it’s your parents, relatives, friends, or yourself. That’s all I need to say about my experience.”
“Do you understand?”
After hearing this, Xie Shen finally understood Deng Bin's purpose.
He suddenly said: "I understand. So you want to torture me to find out the names of my relatives and friends, and then resurrect them to this place?"
"Yes. . ”
Deng Bin seemed to be looking forward to it, and Xie Shenhui showed a look of despair.
He explained patiently: "The purpose of this place is to resurrect and torture people. Like electrocution, burning, that's a daily routine, and then wait for you to die and then resurrect you. , and then torture again, never ending.”
This.
Not to mention experiencing it all personally.
Xie Shen felt a chill in his heart just after listening to it.
So where exactly is this place?
Hell?
Or is it a terrifying laboratory built by some crazy human forces?
We have to find a way to escape.
