Chapter 66 The Deadly Sketch (Additional Chapter)
"Yeah." Li Xiu put his hand on his forehead and said with difficulty: "There is something wrong with these statues. If you forcefully memorize their shapes, the memorizer will Will be hurt on the spiritual level, and the appearance of the statue will be quickly forgotten."
"So evil?" Xie Shen said, "These statues must be dedicated to some evil god. ?”
“There is no need to be superstitious.”
Li Xiudao: “Everything that exists in the material world can be summarized from a scientific perspective.”
"The same goes for these statues."
"Before you see the real evil god, there is no need to connect all unexplainable things with mysticism."
"Actually, I do I thought of a way." Seeing that Li Xiu couldn't remember the shape of the statue, Zhugefu suggested from the side: "The personal terminal we are wearing has a camera function. So why bother to remember it? Just take a picture. That’s all!”
As he spoke, Zhugefu pointed the terminal on his wrist at the statue nearby
The next second.
But when he heard a roar coming from Zhugefu's wrist, his personal terminal exploded in response.
The explosion caused blood to ooze from Zhugefu's wrists.
But due to the curse, Zhugefu not only did not feel any pain after the injury, but also showed an expression of enjoyment.
He even forgot to deal with the wound on his wrist.
Xie Shen saw him and hurriedly used his spiritual power to stop the bleeding.
After a long time.
Zhuge Fu, who came back from the enjoyment, showed an expression of disbelief: "Are these statues too evil? I just took a picture and they blew up my terminal. .”
“This is really.”
In fact, it’s not just Zhuge Fu.
Xie Shen and Li Xiu also felt a little weird about the scene before them.
In the end, Li Xiu came up with another way.
He took out a pen and paper from the backpack behind him, forced himself to look at the statues and said: "Since I can't write down the shape of the statues, and I can't take photos, I'll try to draw it on paper. Try.”
After saying that, he started drawing on the paper.
“You are really not good at this.”
Seeing that Li Xiu knew nothing about painting, Zhugefu hurriedly snatched the pen and paper from Li Xiu’s hand and showed it as if he wanted to take credit: “Did you see this? It’s called sketching!”
I have to say.
Zhugefu does have certain painting skills.
With just a few strokes, the rough outline of the statue has been drawn.
Then, just add more details.
"How about it? Is my technique okay?" Zhugefu boasted and continued to add another stroke to the drawing paper.
And during the whole process of painting, nothing abnormal happened.
This made Zhugefu bolder.
He dropped the paper like flying paper, and within a short time, he had completed nearly 50% of the sketch of the statue.
I don’t know why.
As the sketch of the statue was gradually taking shape, Zhugefu suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood like Li Xiu did.
When he tilted his head, he was about to fall to the bottom of the tower.
Seeing this, Xie Shen reached out and grabbed him back.
He looked at Li Xiudao: "What is going on? Even the sketch of the statue can make people faint?"
Li Xiu did not rush to make a judgment. He just looked at Zhuge Fu quietly.
The latter slowed down.
After regaining consciousness, he said with lingering fear: "These statues are really amazing."
"I didn't know what happened just now."
"I was drawing, and suddenly something in my heart I felt an inexplicable fear."
"Then I fainted."
Zhu Gefu continued: "But I don't think you will faint, Xie Shen. , after all, you are a monk.”
"You should be able to withstand the side effects of sketching that statue."
"Okay, let me try." With half curiosity and half vigilance, Xie Shen took the hand from Zhuge Fu paper and brushes.
He glanced at the statue not far away and tried to draw a stroke on the paper.
“Something’s wrong”
With just one stroke, Xie Shen felt a chill spreading from his heart to his limbs.
The hairs all over his body stood on end.
His instinct was telling him: If he continued to draw, he would definitely die suddenly on the spot.
Xie Shen was frightened.
He finally broke through to the foundation building stage, and naturally he was not willing to die here for no reason, so the movements in his hands stopped abruptly at this moment.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Xie Shen stop writing, Li Xiu asked him hurriedly.
Xie Shen replied: "When I first started writing, I had the same feeling as Zhuge Fu."
He described: "That is, there is an inexplicable feeling of fear in my heart."
After thinking for a moment, Li Xiu said: "What if you use the spiritual power in your body? Try it. With the blessing of spiritual power, the fear is still there."
Use spiritual power?
This is a good idea.
After being reminded by Li Xiu, Xie Shen decisively activated his spiritual power and tried to draw a stroke on the drawing paper.
Effective!
With the blessing of spiritual power, the inexplicable chill no longer appears.
It's just
Xie Shen said with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It still doesn't work. After receiving the blessing of spiritual power, I really don't feel fear anymore, but doing so will quickly consume the spiritual power in my body. , simply can’t hold on for long.”
"So how fast is it exactly?" Li Xiu asked: "Can you complete the sketch of this statue before you run out of spiritual power?"
"It's probably unlikely." Xie Shen estimated Said: "When I draw about 75% at most, I probably won't be able to hold on anymore."
"Then you'd better stop drawing."
Li Xiu snatched the pen and paper from Xie Shen's hand, Said: "You must retain part of your spiritual power, and then find a way to get out of this tower."
"After all, whether it is the sketch of the statue we are drawing now, or the black statue we got in the bunker before, Chip.”
“You have to be responsible for taking these out in the end.”
“So you can’t die.”
“But I don’t care.”
“I can definitely take my life. Complete the sketch of the statue."
Li Xiu said and started drawing on the paper.
He made only one move.
The next second, he saw two lines of blood and tears overflowing from the corners of his eyes.
Zhugefu saw it and reminded him quickly: "Li Xiu, your eyes."
"I know." Li Xiu said expressionlessly: "Didn't I just say, I I plan to risk my life to complete this painting."
As he spoke, he added another stroke to the paper.
Affected by the unknown force, blood began to leak out of Li Xiu's ears and nostrils.
His whole body was shaky, as if he would fall down at any time.
Zhugefu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to continue to persuade him.
But as soon as the words came to his lips, he sighed unconsciously, and all the words he wanted to say were swallowed back in his stomach.
In this way, Li Xiu consumed his life and drew little by little on the paper. As time went by, more and more blood began to flow from his seven orifices.
In the end, he could no longer hold on, and he fell straight to the bottom of the tower.
At this point, the statue sketch is nearly 70% complete.
“Li Xiu!”
Zhugefu instinctively wanted to reach out and grab it, but he ended up catching nothing because his movements were too slow.
He turned around and looked at Xie Shen and said, "Why don't you catch him?"
"That's not necessary." It's just his body."
"Is he dead?"
Zhugefu was silent.
His eyes were moist, as if he was preparing to cry.
In grief, a familiar voice suddenly came from the headset.
The voice shouted: "Hello? Zhugefu? Can you hear it?"
"This" Zhugefu said with a strange expression when he heard this: "Li Xiu? You survived so quickly ?”
“Hmm.”
In the headset.
Li Xiu said calmly: "I am in the space station. I have priority to be resurrected. I can be resurrected as soon as possible after death."
"It's a privilege, right?" Zhuge Fu wanted to cry but couldn't. He didn't come out. He wanted to laugh but couldn't find a reason, so he simply complained: "To be honest, I was really a little hurt when you died just now." Heart."
Li Xiu said silently: "With the resurrection technique, you are sad."
"Okay, no more nonsense."
" I’m talking to you just to say: hurry up and imitate me to complete the sketch of the statue.”
"Then if you die, I will ask someone to resurrect you as soon as possible."
"Whether it is the first time or not, it doesn't matter to me." Zhugefu is an underground man, his name, It's not even on the resurrection list in Tower Prison.
He has nothing to be afraid of.
Zhugefu picked up the pen and paper that Li Xiu had left on the ground and said, "Then I'll give it a try. To be honest, I really want to see what secrets are hidden in the statues in this tower prison. , How can he be so evil?"
After that, he continued to work on Li Xiu's unfinished painting.
Same as Li Xiu.
Not even a few minutes after Zhuge Fu drew on the paper, two lines of blood and tears oozed from the corners of his eyes.
Then his ears and nose.
Even his seven orifices began to ooze blood.
In the end, Zhugefu could no longer hold on and fell straight to the bottom of the tower like Li Xiu.
At this point, the statue sketch is nearly 85% complete.
The moment Zhugefu died suddenly, Xie Shen hurriedly gave a reminder: "Li Xiu, Zhugefu is dead."
"Received." Li Xiu, who had been resurrected to the space station, He hurriedly responded: "We are already arranging people to resurrect him."
"Furthermore," Li Xiu continued: "After Zhuge Fu dies, don't rush to paint that painting."
“Don’t we still have three transformers, Mag and the others, in our team?”
"I will convince them to risk their lives to continue completing the sketch of the statue."
"Then, you only need to watch from the side."
Li Xiu finally stressed: "No matter what "How about, you can't die, you have to take the chip and the sketch of the statue out with me."
"Yes, I understand." Xie Shen followed Li Xiu's instructions quietly. He crouched in place.
About an hour passed like this.
finally.
Mag and the other three transformers finally climbed down along the glass pipe.
I don’t know what kind of promise Li Xiu made.
After the three of them saw Xie Shen, they simply said hello.
Then he took the pen and paper on his own initiative and continued the unfinished painting with a look of death on his face.
During this period, Xie Shen discovered:
The higher the degree of completion of the statue sketch, the greater the harm to the painter.
This is a rule.
For example, at the beginning: Zhugefu drew about 50% of the painting in one go, before he could even vomit blood at the mouth.
The difficulty increases after that.
Li Xiu risked his life to paint, only pushed the completion level to about 70%, and died suddenly on the spot.
The difficulty has been further increased.
When Zhugefu took his life to draw, he only improved the completion level of the sketch from 70% to about 85%.
When they arrived at Mag and the other three modified humans, the speed slowed down again.
The first reformer risked his life to draw, and only improved the completion level of the sketch from 85% to about 90%.
After the death of the second modified person, the sketch completion rate increased from 90% to 92%.
Obviously, the speed has become slower visibly to the naked eye.
Finally there is Mag.
As the ‘most ruthless reformer’ in the space station.
With amazing willpower, he abruptly pushed the completion rate of the statue sketch from 93% to about 99%.
Finally, Mag, who reached his limit, died suddenly and his body fell straight to the bottom of the tower.
At this point, only the last stroke of the statue sketch is left.
In the space station.
After learning the specific situation, Li Xiu said to Xie Shen: "As for the last step, let's not rush to finish it. You can just take the chip and the sketch and find a way to return to the surface. As long as you If you can get to the surface, I can take you back to the space station alive."
Hearing this, Xie Shen instinctively glanced at the bottom of the tower.
He said a little unwillingly: "It's a pity that we can't continue to the bottom of the tower. Only a small part of the white mist was injected into the statue, and more was transported all the way to the bottom of the tower, so it is obvious that that There is definitely a big secret hidden under the tower."
"Be safe," Li Xiu said calmly. "Let's not talk about the statue sketch for now. The value of that thing is still open to question."
"But the chip in your hand"
"That chip is too important, so important that it must not be If something goes wrong.”
“So it’s wise to retreat.”
"As for the bottom of the tower prison, we will find a way to explore it later."
"Yes." Xie Shen also knew that the safest way to do it was to accept it as soon as it was ready.
He listened to Li Xiu's suggestion and kept moving around on the glass pipe of Yuta Prison.
Compared with Li Xiu and Zhuge Fu, Xie Shen was much faster on his own. In just a short while, he had already seen the top of the underground part of the tower prison.
Xie Shen stood on the glass pipe, silently activating the spiritual power in his body to bless his body.
Immediately afterwards, he jumped up suddenly and used his 'virtualization' ability in mid-air.
With the characteristic of 'virtualization' that can ignore all obstacles, Xie Shen easily passed through the top of the underground part of the tower prison.
After passing through the top, he directly entered a sealed metal room.
But in the room:
A young woman in her early twenties was holding various torture instruments and desperately torturing another woman who was tied to the wall by a mechanical hand.
The tortured woman is howling.
Seeing Xie Shen suddenly burst into it, Dangjie showed an incredulous expression and said in shock: "Are you...are you from the outside? There are actually living people outside the tower prison?"
