"Finally woke up."
Ye Qiao opened her eyes, and heard a nightmare-like voice.
He turned his head, and the doctor was looking down at him. The chains on his feet jingled with his movements, and when he realized that his abilities were being restricted, Ye Qiao closed his eyes and calmed down. In the next moment, countless fragmentary images flooded into his mind—
There are large areas of blood in the White Deer Mansion, those who begged and knelt on the ground and kowtowed for mercy. He remembered that he broke into the small hall with the head in his hand, and even made a move on Xu Yinian...
Ye Qiao's eyes opened wider and wider, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, she knelt on the ground and let out a scream.
As if the excitement wasn't enough, the doctor leaned down and said to him with a smile, "Guess how many people you killed?"
Before he could say the number, the person kneeling on the ground suddenly raised his head and grabbed his wrist. The veins on the back of Ye Qiao's hands popped out, her voice trembled uncontrollably: "How is Xu Yinian?"
"Did you say your good friend?" The doctor deliberately paused for a moment, "Killed by your own hands."
"...you're lying." Ye Qiao stared at him, not letting go of the slightest change in his face, "He's not dead."
The doctor took out his mobile phone and called up one of the videos.
It's the surveillance video of the White Deer Mansion.
Ye Qiao snatched the phone and saw that she was covered in black flames, as he approached, all the flames of unknown color rushed towards Xu Yinian—bang! bang bang! The flames from the explosion created an astonishing wave of air, and Xu Yinian's body was blown to pieces.
With a bang, the phone fell to the ground.
"Impossible..." Ye Qing murmured, "I can't kill him, he can escape."
"Feng Kui grabbed his feet, didn't you see that?"
"... No, that's not the case, it's not him who died... What do you want to do?!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he threw himself at the doctor regardless, but the latter took a step back lightly. The chains rang wildly because of Ye Qiao's struggle. He was stuck in place and couldn't move forward an inch. I killed him! You kill me! You should have killed me five years ago...!" At the end, Ye Qiao started to vomit.
He was in a coma for a day and a night without eating, and couldn't vomit anything. Seeing him lying on the ground and retching, the doctor laughed instead: "Instead of asking me, you should ask yourself. I'm just a little irritated Come on, you actually killed so many people... You are jealous, jealous that they can be normal people. You have not taken off your contact lenses for so many years, and you feel that you are out of place from the bottom of your heart."
"...Kill me." Ye Qiao trembled all over.
"Why didn't you tell Xu Yinian your identity? Are you worried that he will find out that you are far away from you? You are really shameless." The doctor squatted down in front of him, cupping Ye Qiao's face with almost transparent white hands. Different from the vicious words, the doctor's face is very clear and beautiful, his eyes are bent like a little moon, "I will always only dare to use one ability, because I am afraid that I will be different. I gave you such a powerful power, but you want to hide it, Live like a mouse."
Seeing Ye Qiao lost his mind, the doctor's arm gently hugged his shoulder.
He is a snow demon, and his body temperature is lower than most monsters. When ordinary people touch his limbs, it's like touching ice, but Ye Qiao remains motionless, numbly letting him hug her.
"They think you're a monster, but I'm not. You're my perfect creation."
"I've been waiting for you to come back."
"After killing so many people, the Demon Elimination Bureau can no longer accommodate you." He tilted his head slightly, staring intently at Ye Qiao's dark purple eyes.
"Stay with me forever."
"Go forward." The prison guards waved their batons and kept driving away a group of prisoners. Occasionally, some disobedient prisoners clashed with the prison guards. After warnings to no avail, one of the prison guards turned into lava-like boiling liquid and slapped him. thrown in the prisoner's face.
Half of the prisoner's face melted quickly, and he covered his face and rolled on the ground, howling. The prison guards in the Black Tower are all monsters, and they are not surprised to see such scenes. The beating prison guard kicked the prisoner: "There is no one here to send you to the infirmary. If you don't want to die, get up by yourself - let me go!" Go forward! If you make trouble again, it will be your fate!"
This new row of prisoners is basically all monsters. Even after entering the black tower, they are still not very safe. Seeing that the prison guards are tough, the restless team gradually calmed down.
Xu Yinian was dressed in a prison uniform, and followed the monsters in the same clothes with his head bowed. Xia Ziheng was behind him, separated from him by two prisoners. At the end of the line, Chen Ran quietly looked around while walking.
The moment the task application was approved, all three of them were surprised.
A few days ago, the General Bureau of Demon Elimination released a new round of missions. Among the difficult missions related to the White Deer Mansion and the Black Tower, there was only one two-star level—infiltrate into the Black Tower, collect as much as possible the real situation inside the Black Tower, Provide more information for follow-up.
Due to the separation of powers between the two realms, the Demon Elimination Bureau cannot search the Black Tower without any evidence, so it can only use this method to investigate secretly. Two-star missions belong to the category that all monster extermination masters who have passed the graduation assessment can apply for. When he saw the mission announcement issued in the early morning, Xu Yinian, who had been exhausted for several days after returning home, sat up energetically in the middle of the night and sat up in the "Unknown Dangerous" and "Ask Ye Qiao for clarification" without hesitation in choosing the latter.
He posted the mission announcement to the group, and called Xia Ziheng at the same time: [Are you ready to be broken by Brother Xia Yan? ]
Xia Ziheng sent a series of tearful emojis: [Chong Chong! The next task! ]
Xu Yinian: [Where is Chen Ran? Come to work, neither Xia Ziheng nor I know how to write a job application. ]
Chen Ran: [... Are you two pigs? ]
Chen Ran: [Wait a minute, I'll write a group application. ]
Rao was discussing in the group until two or three o'clock in the morning. When Chen Ran submitted the application, they were actually a little bit uncertain.
After the White Deer Mansion incident, all tasks related to the Black Tower were directly raised to the highest level, except for the only two-star. But unexpectedly, they successfully received the task.
"Maybe because this is just an investigation mission, and has nothing to do with the core things." Chen Ran said.
"Never mind him, just take it on." Xu Yinian was more concerned about other things, "How do we get into the Black Tower?"
"The Demon Elimination Bureau will forge our identities, and we will replace the original three criminals."
Xia Ziheng realized slowly: "...going to jail?"
"No. 4988." The prison guard called Xu Yinian's number plate, "Your cell is here."
Xu Yinian was about to go in, but the prison guard blocked his way with a baton. Xu Yinian raised his head, and the prison guard grinned: "Human? Rare, what crime did you commit?"
Xu Yinian thought for a moment, and made sure that he had forgotten the crime on the file: "I don't remember."
The prison guard looked at him a few more times, and finally sneered: "Get lost."
Xu Yinian obediently rolled into the cell, he was on the 49th floor, luckily, Chen Ran and Xia Ziheng were on the same floor as him. The structure of the Black Tower is just like its name. The entire prison is in the shape of a spire, with a total of 200 floors. Almost as soon as Xu Yinian entered the cell, there was the sound of locks being locked behind him.
He raised his eyes and looked around his new residence for the next period of time.
This cell is not big, only big enough for two beds and a wooden table, and the bathroom is built in the corner. There was a man sitting on one of the beds. The young man turned his back to him and lifted up his prison uniform, with bruises all over his body.
"New cellmate? Give me some medicine." The man threw the ointment over without looking back. Xu Yinian caught it steadily, and he took a step forward, and found that most of the opponent's back had whip wounds, as well as bite marks, pinch marks, and even cigarette butt burns.
Xu Yinian took the medicine and slowly rubbed it on his back. During the process of applying the medicine, the young man hissed in pain, and Xu Yinian couldn't help asking, "How did you do it?"
"How can it be done? Isn't it just being raped, those perverts on the high floors."
The young man turned his head while talking, and saw Xu Yinian's appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "How could you..."
In the middle of the conversation, something flashed in the young man's eyes, and the unfinished words stopped abruptly, and he said naturally: "You are quite good-looking."
Xu Yinian was also looking at him. The young man was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a beautiful appearance and a pair of fox-like eyes that were particularly attractive. The two looked at each other for a moment, and the young man's red and swollen lips pulled slightly: "For the sake of applying the medicine for me, let me remind you."
"The prisoners in the Black Tower eat on the 100th floor. There are newcomers here today, and everyone will pay attention to you. If the prisoners sitting on the long table talk to you, don't fight with them."
As the young man said, during dinner time, all the prisoners gathered on the 100th floor.
There are almost no other colors to be seen in the black tower. The ceiling and floor of the hundredth floor are all paved with black bricks, which are illuminated by the lights with a cold and depressing luster. The weather became hot, and as the prisoners filed in, the smell of sweat and food mixed together, and even the night wind from the window could not blow away.
The prison guards led the newcomers all the way forward, and the old prisoners sitting on the small table looked up at them. These small tables are placed very close together, barely enough for one person to pass between the tables, and simple meals are placed on them. The eyes of most of the old prisoners are hostile, as if examining a group of ignorant lambs.
"Sit down here," the prison guard ordered.
Xu Yinian sat on one of the small tables. There were several long tables not far away, and several prisoners sat at the tables in twos and threes. The area was not only spacious, but the food on the table was obviously much more abundant. He felt strange and looked over there a few more times.
It was also at this moment that one of the prisoners looked over at him.
The prisoner's eyes and hair were gray, his body was strong and strong, and there was an evil look in his brows. He said something to the person next to him, and pointed at Xu Yinian without hesitation.
Two prisoners stood up from another table and walked up to Xu Yinian. One of them directly stretched out his hand and knocked his food to the ground, two or three drops of oil and water splashed onto Xu Yinian's lap. The prisoner smiled at him and said, "Brother Xiao said he invited you to dinner."
Whispers came from around, but the prison guards turned a blind eye uncharacteristically. Xu Yinian looked sideways, the gray-haired prisoner was looking at him unscrupulously, he had to lower his head under the eaves, Xu Yinian deleted all the bad words in his mind, took a deep breath and stood up.
"Sit here." Jiang Xiao signaled him to sit next to him.
Xu Yinian put on a dirty face, pretending not to hear, and sat opposite him. Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and a prisoner who brought Xu Yinian grabbed him by the collar, yanked him off his seat, and pushed him to the place next to Jiang Xiao.
Xu Yinian's fingertips flashed, and then went out immediately. He looked back at the prisoner's appearance, and made sure that he could recognize the prisoner when it turned into ashes.
wait.
When I find Ye Qiao, the first thing I will do is beat up the three of you.
He sat silently in his new position. The prisoner who pulled his collar just now acted a little more rudely, and red strangle marks soon appeared on his snow-white neck.
Jiang Xiao's eyes stopped on his face: "From now on, you will sit at the same table with me."
All eyes from all directions focused on Xu Yinian, and the two prisoners who brought him over smiled. Even if he didn't want to cause trouble, he couldn't pretend anymore, Xu Yinian asked forcefully, "Why? I know you very well?"
"Why else, for your beauty."
As soon as this was said, the prisoners at the other tables burst into laughter. Seeing that he hadn't moved, Jiang Xiao picked a chopstick of food from the table on a whim: "Come on, open your mouth."
Xu Yinian remained expressionless, even when the food was brought to his mouth. Jiang Xiao dropped his chopsticks with a snap, and said with a sneer, "You don't like eating, do you? Then eat something else. It doesn't matter if you can't open your mouth, as long as you can open it elsewhere."
Jiang Xiao's dropped chopsticks flicked on the table, just hitting Xu Yinian in the face. Xu Yinian could clearly hear the sound of the string in his head being overwhelmed and broken.
He licked his lips, and suddenly said: "The dog feeds you, will you eat?"
Before Jiang Xiao could react, Xu Yinian's fingers burst out with a burst of lightning, and he punched Jiang Xiao in the face: "Idiot, let me open your eyes today—"
"I fight more beautifully."
