Ding!
[Portal] was used successfully. Congratulations to the player for entering the eighteenth level of Avici Hell. [Portal] consumption is x1, and the current remaining number of uses is 5.
When the system prompt sounded, Baili Xin was just pushing open the door of the teleportation array and walking away.
The teleportation array can only teleport to 5 levels at most, and it cannot reach the maximum of 5 levels twice. He started from the 6th level and it took him three teleports to reach the 18th level of hell.
Including the two times used previously, there are only five uses left for [Portal].
In the hell he had experienced before, all he saw was purgatory and all he heard were screams.
However, when he saw the scene of hell this time, Baili Xin was stunned.
There was no expected brutal punishment, and compared to other levels of hell, it was too quiet here.
At first glance, everything is blank.
Pure white came into view. The sky of the Eighteen Layers of Hell was connected to the ground, and they were all the same color. It was impossible to tell which was the sky and which was the ground.
Your feet are stepping on pure white, with no reflections and no footprints.
The moment the portal behind him disappeared, the place completely turned into a white maze.
In the white space, there are many small square boxes densely packed together.
The box is about the size of a shoe box, and at first glance I have no idea what it is used for.
The voice of the escape system sounded in my mind: Baili Xinda, those boxes are prisons.
The souls that enter the eighteen levels of hell are punished in these small boxes.
If you are curious, you can open one of them to see what punishment they are suffering. The box is enchanted and the criminals will never be able to escape.
Baili Xin: There is something I want to say but I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
Escape System: What
Baili Xin: If the criminal cannot escape, how did the saint escape
Escape System: … Good question!
Neither will it!
Ding!
Every time the system issues a task, the voice of the escape system becomes unusually formal.
Discover the exploration mission [Search for the Heartless Saint]. Players are asked to find the prison where the Heartless Saint is imprisoned among many prisons, and look for clues inside to find the escaped villain, the Heartless Saint.
The difficulty of this task is level A. After completing the task, you will get 10,000 points as a task reward. If you fail, you will be punished by the system, and the punishment method is: beheading.
Friendly tip: The mission in this copy is a mandatory mission and must be accepted after exploration.
The task has been accepted and the task deadline is until the end of this copy.
Baili Xin opened the taskbar and found that there was an extra task on the taskbar.
He didn't say much and turned his attention back to the boxes.
Looking closely, Baili Xin discovered that the name of the offender and the length of his punishment were written on the outside of each box.
That's what the box closest to him said.
Offender: Zhang San
Cause of sin: He trafficked women and children, and should have been sent to the Nine Oil Pots Hell. However, he trafficked women and children many times, and did not repent in front of the King of Hell. He had evil thoughts in his heart and was difficult to convert. He was not worthy of reincarnation, so he was sent to the Eighteen Purgatory and could never be reborn.
Years of life: No chance of reincarnation forever.
The prison looks like an iron box with a heavy lid on top.
Baili Xin opened the lid, and the scene inside was exposed under his eyes.
Inside the box, the criminal's body was as big as a grain of rice or bean.
Without the physical punishment that one might imagine, the prisoner's life at this moment is quite pleasant.
Baili Xin can see him, but he cannot see Baili Xin.
A warm home presented in the prison. There are not only prisoners in the home, but also a woman and two children.
A girl and a boy.
The family of four had dinner together under the moonlight, talking and laughing, it was a warm and romantic scene.
Baili Xin could even listen to their conversation.
Wife: "Honey, the babies are going to kindergarten soon, we have to choose a better one for them."
The criminal looked at his child tenderly: "Well, I've found out. The neighborhood next door can directly go to the city kindergarten, and can directly go to the city's key primary school and junior high school."
Wife: "But the tuition is not low, right?"
The prisoner said: "It doesn't matter. For the sake of the children, I will work harder and earn money. The children are the fruits of our family's labor and our future. I am willing to give them all the good things."
The wife smiled and said, "Ah, look at them, how cute they are, still so young, and filled with all our love. Just imagine how painful it would be for us if they were lost one day."
The criminal was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands in panic: "No, keep an eye on them, they won't get lost."
The wife smiled and said, "It's just a joke, don't panic."
Criminal: “This is not something you can joke about.”
The time in the box flows much faster than outside. Based on the speaking speed, Baili Xin roughly judged that the time in the box flows about 100 times faster than outside.
The days go by.
Suddenly one day, the prisoner got separated while taking the children out to play, and then the two children disappeared.
The pain lasted only two days, and his wife disappeared.
Suddenly, the family of four was left alone.
The prisoner hid in the dark room and wailed in pain. He missed his lovely children and gentle wife.
Loneliness, solitude, despair, pain, resentment, countless complex feelings constantly impacted his brain.
The once vigorous and capable man became unkempt, and the surrounding room gradually disappeared, turning into a blank space.
In the blank space, he was like a walking corpse, with dull eyes, full of sorrow and despair.
Box, suddenly a majestic hollow voice sounded from afar.
"The 38471038th soul punishment has ended. The virtual wife and children are ready. The 38471039th punishment is about to begin."
In response to this voice, the criminal wailed heartbreakingly: "No!! Please, I know I'm wrong, don't let me go through the pain of losing my son and wife again, just kill me, please, just give me a quick death!"
The spiritual punishment that strikes directly into the heart is far more painful than the physical punishment.
The physical pain is just pain, but the mental trauma can make people fall into endless despair. Some mental injuries are far more painful and terrible than death.
There is nothing to say about this kind of unrepentant evil behavior. All we can say is that they deserve it and it is totally undeserving.
Is his current pain a true reflection of how many families he once lived with
Punishment more than 30 million times? Punishment 100 million times would not be too much.
Baili Xin closed the lid indifferently and continued searching in the boxes.
The Holy Prison should be between these boxes.
He walked for a long time without looking at Sheng's name, but accidentally discovered another familiar name.
Huang Xiaolian
Baili Xin's heart moved slightly and he stopped in front of the box with this name written on it.
Huang Xiaolian, the same name as the evil chairman in the previous campus copy.
It shouldn't be a coincidence, right? After all, in this eighteen levels of hell, it's not unlucky to have two scumbags connected to this name, right
Baili Xin opened the lid and saw a classroom.
Dozens of boys and girls in sailor-style school uniforms surrounded a □□ and beat and kicked her.
He looked old and his body was as dry as a stick. Although he was in poor condition, Baili Xin still recognized him. This was Huang Xiaolian.
He knelt on the ground in fear, with a chain around his neck and his legs and feet on the ground like a dog. His body, in tattered school uniform, was covered with red marks and large words written in oil pen.
—"Bitch, bark twice for everyone to hear."
One of them set up a camera and his tone was completely sarcastic.
The iron chains clanked, and Huang Xiaolian was forced to raise his neck, screaming out in humiliation and shame.
Baili Xin looked at the prisoner tag outside again.
Offender: Huang Xiaolian
Cause of sin: Defiled the sacred profession of a teacher, violated and insulted students, and maliciously killed many. Heaven cannot tolerate this! This is a heinous crime! Sentenced to be thrown into the eighteen levels of hell for eternal soul punishment, and never be able to be reborn!
Huang Xiaolian's screams suddenly came from inside the box. Baili Xin leaned over to take a look and saw Huang Xiaolian lying on the ground in pain, covering his face.
Thick white smoke was sizzling from his face, accompanied by a pungent smell.
Baili Xin glanced to the side and saw a student holding an empty glass bottle with a cold look in his eyes.
To give someone a taste of their own medicine, when Huang Xiaolian was doing evil, I wonder if he ever thought that one day he would suffer such punishment.
The punishment continues.
Baili Xin closed the lid, turned around and walked towards the depths without any reluctance.
As he walked, he began to scan the words on the box at a glance.
He walked for about a few minutes and suddenly stopped in front of a box.
The name on the box is special: Wu Xin Sheng
The voice of the escape system sounded again in my mind.
Ding! Congratulations to the player for finding the prison where [Wu Xin Sheng] is imprisoned. The progress of [Searching for Wu Xin Sheng] mission has been completed to 30.
Tips: Please observe the prison as much as possible and look for clues. These clues will become important hints to help you find Wu Xin Sheng.
__________________________
Studio.
Seeing the yellow dog trapped in the eighteen levels of hell forever, he finally felt relieved.
Who is the yellow dog
It was Huang Xiaolian, the big bad guy in Xin Shen’s last campus copy. He relied on his status to hurt students in various ways and killed many of them.
Damn, there really are such disgusting teachers in the world. Damn, I’m going to fight them.
Relax a little, the law of justice is vast and nothing can escape it, isn't retribution here
And the dealer just now was also punished well.
But is this kind of punishment really more painful? Why do I feel that this kind of punishment is not painful at all, not as scary as the sixth-level copper pillar hell? The copper pillar hell is to put the person on the iron pillar and roast him. Hiss, it looks so painful.
The effects are different, one causes physical pain, the other causes heart-wrenching pain.
For example, the trafficker used the trafficking of women and children as a means to make a fortune, and he did not repent in the end. Even if he was asked to be boiled in oil, he would only beg because of the pain in his body. To put it bluntly, he succumbed to the pain.
But this kind of punishment hurts him inside. He trafficked women and children, and he suffered this disgusting pain. The feeling of inner tearing and contradiction. Under the constant impact of contradictions and confrontations, the mental torture is far more painful than physical torture.
So that's it. After your analysis, I seem to understand it. You still understand it.
Hey, I study psychology.
Hiss, okay.
____________________________
Baili Xin was not in a hurry to open the lid, but walked around outside to observe.
In one corner, he found a faint red color. The box was black, and the red color covered it, so it was almost invisible without a magnifying glass.
Fortunately, he has a quadruple scope.
Baili Xin lowered his head, squatted in the red corner, and tried to touch it with his hand.
The hands were immediately stained with a light red.
He put his finger under his nose and smelled it. Instead of smelling the stench of blood, he smelled a light sweet smell.
It smells like flowers and I seem to have smelled it somewhere before.
Baili Xin pondered for a moment in his mind, and found a similar taste in the fragments of memory.
He had smelled this scent before in the sea of red spider lilies.
However, there is some overlapping of flavors, and this flavor should be mixed with something else.
As for what was mixed in, Baili Xin didn't have a definite answer yet.
Taking a plastic evidence bag from his backpack, Baili Xin used a dagger to scrape off a little of the red powder and put it into the plastic bag.
After putting the things safely in the backpack, Baili Xin continued his search.
From the outside, the Holy Prison is no different from any other prison, with no visible gaps or loopholes.
On the outside of the box was a sticker with the Holy Crime.
Offender: Heartless Saint
Causes of sin: Killing gods, tampering with the book of life and death, and reversing the Yin and Yang realm.
No chance of rebirth forever!
Baili Xin stared at Nie Yin for a few seconds.
It feels like if you pick any one of these evil causes, you can get the surprise package of the Eighteen Levels of Hell directly.
After finding no useful clues outside, Baili Xin finally lifted the lid.
There are no punishments and no scenes.
It was pitch black inside.
The impenetrable thick darkness was like a ferocious beast that seemed to be able to swallow up everything in the next second.
Baili Xin stared at the darkness and thought to himself, is it because there is no crime committed inside that it has returned to darkness, or is it because of the punishment from Wuxin Saint that this is the darkness
-"whee."
Just as he was thinking, there seemed to be a sound coming from the dark box.
Baili Xin's eyes suddenly became stern and he looked at the darkness warily.
-"so lonely."
As if to provoke Baili Xin, a voice came from the box.
This time it is much clearer than before.
— “Who are you and why are you watching outside?”
Baili Xin's head buzzed and his eyes became colder.
The other prisoners cannot see what is happening outside, but this voice in this prison can see them.
And the saint is no longer here.
Since the system has issued such a task, it proves that the Saint is no longer here. Since the Saint is no longer here, whose voice does this belong to
Baili Xin asked cautiously: "Who are you?"
—"If you come in, you'll know who it is, right?"
Baili Xin: "...Are you stupid?"
—"I know you. Your name is Baili Xin. I know your secrets and your troubles."
—"You don't belong to this world. You want to go to the 999th floor. You want to be saved."
Baili Xin's heart was beating violently, but the more it did so, the calmer his expression became.
He responded with silence.
The voice sounded again.
—“The prophet knows everything in this world and beyond, and can answer all the doubts in your heart.”
— "I want you to come in."
Baili Xin held his breath, looking at the darkness in front of him, and suddenly laughed: "I don't believe you know everything, unless you answer a question right now."
—"What's the question? Tell me."
Baili Xin: "Can you explain the wave-particle duality of light? Or some anchor point principle of spaceship space jumps will also be fine."
—“…”
Shit, never heard of it!
Baili Xin: "Oh, I see."
"You are not a prophet. You just saw the most pressing thoughts in your heart, but you only saw the tip of the iceberg."
"So you can't answer things that are beyond your understanding."
"You are a peeping Tom. Ha, these days, anyone can call himself a 'prophet'."
"Who are you?"
The voice didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, the voice finally said one sentence.
— "The Holy Rupture."
—"The Saint gave up and will stay here forever, but he himself escaped."
— "Hate him."
— "Help get him back."
Baili Xin: "Why should I help you?"
— "If you want to save Hades, you have to help. I just saw that you like that bastard."
—"I don't like Hades at all, but I hate the abandoned Saint even more."
—"We are one, his evil side, the evil deeds he committed in the past, but now he has cruelly thrown them away in order to be reborn."
—"I am unwilling to accept this. Why should I suffer in this dark cage while he can be reborn?!"
—“I hate it so much, I hate it so much!”
Baili Xin frowned and interrupted the voice's complaint, "Please explain it clearly, what will happen to Hades?"
—"Hahaha, he wants to create the most perfect demon baby and put the saint's soul into the demon baby to complete its rebirth. The demon baby gathers the most extreme evil thoughts and becomes the nemesis of Hades."
—"He wants revenge on Hades and wants to replace him!"
— "If you don't help, you will watch your good man die at the hands of the demon baby."
—"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now we two are comrades in the same trench."
Baili Xin's voice became more serious: "When Sheng was still in the cage, the Demon Baby Project had already begun."
"And who's the one helping Saint outside?"
— “Well… I don’t know either.”
Baili Xin: "You don't know either?"
— "Because Sheng was suddenly rescued, he shared memories with Sheng and knew a man in black."
Black clothes
Baili Xin: "Since you said we are comrades in the same trench, you should at least show some sincerity. Tell me what Sheng's weaknesses are and where to find him. You should know something."
—"Haha, you are really smart in business."
Baili Xin: "Same here. If I hadn't noticed your tricks, I would have been fooled by you. You're not good at all, so stop talking about this bullshit of morality and justice."
—"Hahaha, does your Pluto know your true face? I suddenly admire you a little bit. I'm curious about how your Pluto will face you after your disguise is peeled off layer by layer."
Baili Xin's eyes flashed with disdain, "Of course I love you more, what else?"
—"Okay, okay, okay. It's better than that saint who talks about morality. I like you. As a symbol of sincerity for cooperation, I will show you a way forward."
—"Sheng's weakness is Meng Po. He will go to find Meng Po when he goes back. After finding Meng Po, you can find Sheng."
— "Although the man in black didn't show his face, I heard his voice. It was a man's voice, and it was a bit deep."
— "He has a strange smell, fragrant."
Baili Xin: "The scent of the red spider lily?"
—"Hiss, I wonder what the sea of flowers on the other shore smells like, maybe. Now that you mention it, it does smell like a flower."
Baili Xin silently memorized all these clues in his mind, "Okay, remember, we will catch Sheng, but we can't guarantee that we will send him here intact."
"If he really dares to threaten Dijia's life," the young man's usually gentle voice suddenly turned cold, "he will be killed in a moment."
—"Hahaha, scared to death?"
— "Well, that would still be a relief, but I'm afraid not. Do you know why he went to hell for committing such a serious mistake as killing a god?"
— "Because he has already become a semi-saint. His body is incorruptible and his soul is immortal."
— "You can't kill him, but you can seal him."
Baili Xin pursed his lips, and after a moment, he said: "Can you tell me what this darkness means to you?"
— "This is ignorance and shutdown."
—"He has always been looking towards the light, wanting to save all living beings and become a Buddha right away. His consciousness was enlightened early, and no major events in the world escaped his eyes. He has the ability to foresee and change the world that no one else has."
— "But this darkness will block his power and turn him into a blind man."
—"It was a torture for him to lose control and foreknowledge of everything."
—"What's more, in this darkness, time flows very slowly. A quarter of an hour outside seems like several years in the darkness."
— “He’s going crazy.”
— "Suddenly one day, a man appeared, claiming to be his follower, and discussed with him how to escape."
—"Oh, so naive. I thought the so-called saint escaped intact, but I didn't expect that the saint would forcibly cut this sin apart. How ridiculous. If he made a mistake, it's a mistake. Will his mistake disappear if it is cut apart? In the end, it's all because of his evil thoughts. But he is a coward who dares to do it but not to take responsibility. He just walked away. Trash!"
Baili Xin: "..."
What happened that I suddenly don’t dare to answer the call
Why does this statement suddenly sound like an accusation against a heartless person
Suddenly I felt very gay.
—"That useless idiot! He could have pursued a career, but he insisted on diving into the women's den!"
—"What's so good about that girl? What kind of taste does he have? He can easily find a hundred or eighty girls prettier than her!"
— "He is really blind."
Baili Xin: "..."
I dare not say anything. I dare not say anything. I really dare not say a word.
