Volume 3: The King of Waste Chapter 376: Fog Region
Xu Shen raised his eyebrows, feeling that the situation in the mental cage before him was very similar to his own situation in reality outside.
They are all trapped somewhere, and the people accompanying them also happen to be people trapped there.
"Why, do you have a solution?"
Xu Shen asked casually.
He came here just to worship the god and wait for time.
"It doesn't matter if I tell you. You're unlucky anyway." The disheveled young man smiled. He was obviously injured all over, with traces of strangulation, but his expression was very free and easy: "I have something on the director. You just need to please the director. He is a gay."
"Director? Key?"
Xu Shen looked at him in confusion: "What is gay?"
"you do not know?"
The young man was a little surprised. Seeing Xu Shen's serious look, he burst into laughter: "You are too naive. Ji refers to his hobby, and it means boyfriend."
"Boyfriend..." Xu Shen was speechless.
"If you want to leave here, you can only sacrifice your looks." The young man said with a smile, "But you don't have to be afraid. This director looks serious on the surface, but he actually has weird habits and likes to be abused. You don't need to make sacrifices, you just need to abuse him as much as you can. The more you abuse him, the happier he will be."
“…”
Xu Shen was speechless. What a mess.
He shook his head, not wanting to pay attention, and closed his eyes to worship the god and visualize it in his mind.
Several days passed.
The guards outside were suddenly transferred away. At the same time, there was a slight tremor in the confinement room. Then, a door opened and a well-dressed middle-aged man in a suit walked out.
When the middle-aged man saw Xu Shen, his eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately walked to the young man and said with a stern face: "Why don't you tell the truth?"
The young man saw his serious look, spitted and sneered: "I told him everything about you, don't pretend in front of me, how can you talk to me, kneel down!"
The middle-aged man was stunned and couldn't help but turn to look at Xu Shen. His expression was a little complicated, but then he seemed relieved, and actually showed a charming feminine smile, and then actually knelt down.
The young man was bound with chains, like a prisoner, but the director knelt before the prisoner and licked his dirty feet.
If the guards saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.
"Honey, don't be angry. I have missed you for a long time. If I hadn't been so busy with mundane affairs and too much official business to deal with, I would have come here a long time ago." The director knelt down and said in a tender and flattering tone.
Xu Shen was a little dumbfounded. Although the young man had greeted him before, he was still shocked by this strange scene.
What made Xu Shen feel even more strange was that the director's face looked somewhat like that god!
Especially the violent male face.
But the male face seemed younger.
If the young man bound by chains in front of him is the original owner in reality, could it be that the god here is playing the role of the director?
Xu Shen was speechless, wondering if the god would be furious if he saw this scene.
"Little slut, stop pretending in front of me. My brother also wants to get out, you think of a way." The young man had not forgotten Xu Shen at this time, and said to the director viciously.
The director turned his head and glanced at Xu Shen, and said charmingly: "No problem, leave it to me. There are more than just you two special experimental subjects here. It's okay if one or two escape occasionally. They won't be tracked down. At most... at most they will be punished . But for you, I'm willing to do anything."
"Bah, you bastard." The young man cursed without any mercy.
The director was not angry at all. Instead, he looked pleased and showed an expression of enjoyment and happiness.
The expression at this moment reminded Xu Shen of the woman's face. The expression at that moment was somewhat similar.
Xu Shen shook his head. He didn’t care about what situation he was in here, as long as he could escape from the real world outside.
He closed his eyes and without wasting any time, continued to worship and visualize the deity.
Perhaps because the director in front of him had a similar expression, Xu Shen found it very easy to visualize.
Time passes.
Only two days had passed outside, but in the world of the Mind Cage, more than five years had passed.
In the past five years, Xu Shen saw that the director often had affairs with young men, and he had also come into contact with the director several times. The other party would occasionally come to him, but Xu Shen was too lazy to pay attention and focused on his meditation.
His arrogant attitude seemed to have angered the director. Not only did he not intend to release Xu Shen, but he wanted to keep him locked up longer and conduct more experiments on him.
"Why are you doing this?"
The director was not there, so the young man said to Xu Shen helplessly, "Just insult him as much as you can, isn't it fun? We can get back at this worthless guy for all the torture we've endured here. Who would have thought that the director who has the final say here would be so ugly in private? His subordinates don't know about it, only we know about it, so why not torture him?"
Xu Shen shook his head and said, "It's boring."
He didn't care at all about suffering and being trapped here.
When the young man heard Xu Shen say this, he was speechless and stopped talking to Xu Shen.
Outside, when Xu Shen returned to the temple, he would also talk to the original owner about the affairs of the parliament.
As the two of them got to know each other better, and since they were both in trouble, their relationship became closer, and Xu Shen also learned many secrets that only monarchs knew.
In addition to the spiritual secret of becoming a god, there is also the search for a gap in the world. It is said that it will lead to another world, which hides the secret of becoming a god.
But so far no one has any news about this, it has always been a legend. Perhaps the person who found the gap has left and left nothing behind.
In addition, Xu Shen also knew the abilities of some other monarchs of the same era as the original owner. They were all strange and powerful, unimaginable. After listening, Xu Shen understood why the prison master's ability was considered the last among the monarchs.
The ability of the prison lord is to control the souls of the dead, and by absorbing the souls of the dead he can strengthen himself, with no limit!
Therefore, for the prison master, the longer he lives, the stronger he becomes.
In order to collect more ghosts and create more ghosts, the prison lord started several wars, including one of the seven major families in the inner city, which clashed with each other and perished because of his secret manipulation.
Then it was replaced by the Qin family and the Jiang family.
After hearing the stories of these monarchs, Xu Shen realized that many of the things he had done were already very kind.
In order to become stronger, some monarchs have resorted to all means.
Civilians? Just let the Fog People reproduce, as many as you want. If you slightly increase the fertility benefits, you can immediately produce a large number of them.
In the eyes of these monarchs, life is no different from pork.
For a monarch, this is a thought that arises naturally after seeing through the essence of things. It is extremely normal. Those who do not have such thoughts are abnormal because they have not seen through them.
Time is long.
Half a month has passed outside, and my mind has been imprisoned for more than 40 years.
Over the past 40 years, many experiments have been conducted on Xu Shen, but most of the time he was imprisoned here.
What puzzled Xu Shen was that neither he nor the young man had aged here and still maintained their original appearance. The director had not aged either. After he asked the young man, he learned that they were special experimental subjects.
The ultimate goal of the experiments used on them is eternal life!
Today, they are all semi-experiments.
Although they cannot achieve immortality, they age a thousand times slower than ordinary people .
And the director was obviously also half experimenter, or in other words, half beneficiary.
The director must have enjoyed the semi-finished products that were successfully tested on them, which is how he managed to stay young forever.
After 40 years, Xu Shen still hasn't figured out what kind of world this fourth level cage is like, or what the situation is outside. It's mainly because he doesn't care. Even if something incredible happens here, Xu Shen will think it's a loophole in the construction. Not everything has to be compared with reality. Perhaps comparing with reality is a projection caused by his own subconscious mind, or it may be a coincidence.
Xu Shen just wanted to finish the visualization as soon as possible and leave here. He didn't want to keep Maeve waiting for long.
She must be very lonely outside alone...Xu Shen thought to himself.
"Who is the Sea Lord you are talking about?"
Inside the cage, the young man asked Xu Shen curiously.
Xu Shen was stunned and looked at him.
The young man said, "I see you calling this name occasionally. Is he your friend?"
Xu Shen thought of his previous actions and felt relieved immediately.
Everything he saw here before was consistent with reality, except for the few Xu in his body. So he tried to call them, but they did not appear.
It can be seen that there is no ruins in this world.
Then the sea dukes in this world...maybe they are just imaginary existences of "themselves" in this world.
Ruins do not exist, but kings and gods exist.
"Friends." Xu Shen replied to the young man.
The young man smiled and said, "I really envy you for having a few friends whose names I still remember after such a long time."
"Maybe these friends are just my guesses." Xu Shen said inexplicably, and then he came to his senses. He has been here for more than 40 years and almost regarded this place as his real world.
He couldn't help but frown. He would have to stay there for another two thousand years. Would his consciousness be confused by then?
Realizing this, Xu Shen found that in addition to visualization, he also had to find a way to stay awake and make sure to distinguish between reality and the cage.
Time flies.
In reality, half a year has passed.
Inside the temple, Xu Shen and the original owner were talking like friends, discussing each other's ideals and regrets.
Although it was impossible to tell whether what the other party said was true or false, at least what Xu Shen said was half true and half false.
In addition, the two would occasionally exchange secret techniques.
In the cage, Xu Shen, in addition to meditation, also took time to exercise and practice secret skills.
Dielang and Haiyuesheng have both cultivated to the limit, but Xu Shen is trying to break this limit. The person who created the secret technique can develop to this extent, standing on the shoulders of his predecessors, so why can't he achieve higher levels?
Xu Shen constantly improved the secret technique of Xu Silk that he had researched on his own, and occasionally he would ask Hei Xue for advice. Gradually, Xu Silk merged into the air and turned into a gray thing.
Like a thick fog.
Anyone who steps into the fog will be lost and immersed in it. If Xu Shen is willing, he can even let the fog strangle him.
At first it was a rope, the thicker it was, the easier it was to control. Later it was compressed step by step into a thread, making it more difficult to control. However, Xu Shen's own mental strength was also improving, so he was able to control it.
Now it has melted from silk into mist, close to water. They are unconnected but extremely hazy existences that accompany each other. It is more difficult to control, which also means that Xu Shen's mental strength has improved.
As his spiritual power improved, Xu Shen discovered that Mo Wei's clothing had also improved. Holding a kitchen knife given by his "mother" and wearing armor, he looked like a black-armored god of war.
However, this level of progress is still a long way from becoming a demigod.
After all, this can be achieved through hard work, while becoming a demigod requires chance and extremely long tempering.
When the original owner saw Xu Shen using the secret technique of overlapping waves, he was obviously stunned and asked what the relationship between Xu Shen and Wan Zhu was.
Xu Shen had heard the original owner mention this name before. He was the monarch of the parliament, from the same period as the original owner, several hundred years ago.
The title of Ten Thousand Lords is also due to an extremely exaggerated reason. It is rumored that the Ten Thousand Lords possess ten thousand kinds of abilities!
That’s right, not two or three kinds, but ten thousand kinds!
Everyone knows that everyone has only one ability, not two. Even if it exhibits different characteristics, it is still just one ability, but with different effects at the same time.
But Wanzhu dared to give him such a name and there were such rumors. Even if he really only had one ability, this ability had ten thousand characteristics, which was terrifying enough.
It is hard to imagine what kind of ability has such an exaggerated coverage.
Xu Shen did not know Wan Zhu. After listening to the original owner's explanation, he realized that this secret technique of overlapping waves was the secret technique used by the family founded by Wan Zhu.
The family founded by Lord Wan is also in the inner city, but it is not one of the seven major families. It is a wealthy family that lives in seclusion and usually keeps a low profile. After all, any wealth and power are meaningless to a family like the monarch's.
As long as they want it, they can get it.
The secret art of stacking waves was given by Nan Ning. The original owner's words made Xu Shen feel confused.
Could it be that Nan Ning is the descendant of Wanzhu?
The old man in the tuxedo seemed extraordinary. Could he be the king? Only the monarch could be the housekeeper.
Thinking of this, Xu Shen suddenly realized something. He didn't expect that he would accidentally learn about Nan Ning's background.
When Xu Shen was demonstrating his secret skills, the original owner also shared with Xu Shen several sets of secret skills he had mastered, including swordsmanship, boxing, and hand-to-hand combat.
The original owner explained to Xu Shen that although secret skills are much inferior to abilities, at certain times, abilities may not be applicable, and even abilities may be prohibited in some places. At this time, strength and weakness are reflected by secret skills.
Of course, now they have magical weapons, which make them even more powerful, and their secret skills are inferior, but still useful.
Xu Shen naturally understood the importance of secret techniques, and learned from them by communicating with the original owner.
Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye.
Five hundred long years have passed in the prison of the mind.
After five hundred years of imprisonment and experimentation, even though Xu Shen had been visualizing the statue of God, he still felt like he was going crazy.
After all, he only lived for less than 30 years.
But now he has stayed here for five hundred years in one go.
The director still hasn't aged, and the same goes for Xu Shen and the young man. The guard outside the confinement room who looks like Mo Chengfeng hasn't aged either. Xu Shen was not forced to do experiments again. It seems that something went wrong with the last experiment. Currently, there is a problem with the investor of the experiment, so the experiment has been suspended. However, the laboratory is still being maintained due to the director's habit.
