Old World - Surface
A large-scale quicksand suddenly appeared in a certain sand area, and three "monks" wrapped in scarlet robes stepped out from the center.
A conical mask with thorns embedded in it was worn on their heads.
Their backs were covered with iron hooks and chains, and the other ends of the chains were connected to giant stone tablets, on which were engraved their memorable painful experiences.
Their palms were evenly torn open and fixed with iron nails. The blood vessels and nerves arranged in the palms formed a geometric shape. It was obviously just a two-dimensional picture, but a blood and flesh cube could be seen from the palms.
Although the three people have similar looks, the one walking in front is obviously different.
Judging from her figure, she should be a woman. The surface of the stone tablet dragged behind her is wrapped with thorns, and there is a painful experience engraved in red letters, representing the painful miracle caused by her.
Sea of thorns
Under her guidance, the three of them dragged the stone tablet and soon arrived at the location where the Duke was sitting in the sedan chair.
They also didn't expect that the source of the induction would point to this old-world merchant. The monks' torn faces hidden under their masks began to tremble.
The woman in the lead took the initiative to step forward and stopped in front of the sedan chair.
Out of respect,
She held the cone-shaped mask with both hands and forcibly removed it!
Kaka~The sound of flesh being pulled and bones rubbing against each other was heard.
The thorn barbs inside the mask completely tore the head apart, and the spilled blood was absorbed by the monk's robe and recycled.
The head of the bloody lake immediately began to regenerate super quickly. This is an innate ability of the monks.
The result is a woman with long thorny hair and a completely torn scalp.
The eyes are dark, like a demon.
"I have seen the Duke."
"The miracle worker from the Monastery of Pain has come here in person? What's the matter?"
"The monastery sensed the 'acceptance of pain' occurring on the surface. Someone accepted the pain called thorns. We came here specially to greet them, but we didn't expect to find them here with you, Duke.
No wonder a section of the 'thorn chain' lost in the monastery several years ago has never been found."
The Duke didn't say much, but just threw a bag of heavy ancient coins to the other party.
“This can be considered as compensation. After all, I just picked up a piece of chain by chance when I passed by your monastery, and I was in a hurry at the time, so I didn’t return it.
This price is enough to buy ten identical chains. Take the money and leave."
Faced with the Duke's order to expel him, the monk had no intention of leaving, nor did he pick up the money bag on the ground.
"The one chosen by the chain is a member of our house. We are not here to track down the chain, but to accept new members. I hope the Duke can let me meet this acceptor."
These words made the fat on the Duke's face twitch slightly, but considering that he was the one who stole someone else's things after all, he did not get angry immediately.
“He is making an important bet, and this kid is not a life on our side. After the bet is over, he will return to the host planet as a human.
In my opinion, he is not suitable for going to the monastery, but will ruin his future. "
"You don't need to worry about this, Duke. Our goal is just to meet this person. Since he is in the middle of a gambling game, we are willing to wait until it is over."
The Duke knew very well what these monks meant by "meeting once".
By then, they would probably put mental pressure on him and induce him in various ways... Even if Yi Chen could hold on and choose to refuse, they would use the name of the monastery to peel off the chains directly from his body, killing him or crippling him.
"Don't you understand what I'm saying? I'm in a good mood today, so I'm being very polite.
I give you three seconds to disappear from the surface!"
The fat, thick palm slapped down heavily, and a terrifying airflow spread out directly.
Except for the female monk in front of him who did not move, the other two monks were blown away dozens of meters.
However, this group of monks still had no intention of leaving, and the leading female monk continued to speak:
"He is an individual who has accepted the needle chain in human flesh without receiving any training from the monastery. He has already received the attention of the high priest. We are here to represent the will of the high priest and the monastery, and we must..."
"Time's up."
The Duke paid no attention to these words; her patience was exhausted.
Golden liquid seeped out from his belly, forming a golden balance in front of him.
A special area has enveloped the monk in front of him.
Cannot be defied, cannot be resisted, cannot be left behind.
"Forced Transaction"
The safe in the dark of the castle has been opened.
A heavy bag of treasure filled with holy grails, jewels, and coins from old times was thrown directly onto one end of the scale.
Correspondingly, the other end must provide items of equal value to achieve balance.
The two monks at the end disintegrated directly, including the stone tablet they were dragging. All of them were dismantled into usable materials, which were compressed through the structure and piled on the other end of the scale.
But this is far from enough.
The female monk at the front was also dismantled.
When the scale was completely balanced, only half of the monk's head was left on the ground... and the iron chain growing from the cut surface of the brain was trying to drag the head away.
Bang!
The Duke took out a gold coin and flicked it lightly, causing it to fall on the scales in exchange for the last half of the head.
"Hey~ It's been a long time since we've conducted a forced transaction. Can't you even estimate the price accurately? There's a deviation of more than 1%. It's really embarrassing."
The transaction is completed.
The treasures on the scale used to exchange the three monks were instantly drawn into a special space channel.
Deep in the old world, an unknown distance away, in an area called the Monastery, a three-minute "jewel rain" fell.
In the deepest part of the monastery, a pair of eyes pierced by endless needles opened, and living words that could be seen with the naked eye uttered from their mouths.
"The new recipient is actually related to the Duke."
She didn't send anyone, nor did she go to investigate in person, she just closed her eyes and ignored it.
…
Montenegro Orphanage
Yi Chen was completely sound asleep and was not disturbed by any night shift teachers.
He had a dream.
I dreamed that my kneecap was gouged out and I was crawling on a road full of thorns.
There are countless such "sufferers" beside him.
Many people died on the road and were devoured by the animated thorns as nutrients.
When he climbed to the gate of a dark monastery, chains shot out from the inside, pierced through his body and lifted him into the air.
Deep in darkness,
A mysterious man in black leather clothes and covered with spikes floated out. Using a method similar to acupuncture, various parts of his body were examined, and he finally showed a satisfied expression.
When the mysterious man slowly opened his cave-like mouth, the flesh and blood relief inside his mouth looked like a picture of hell.
A special sharp needle was slowly rolled out from the tongue, pinched in the hand and slapped into the top of Yi Chen's head.
The severe pain and inexplicable sourness caused the dream to collapse instantly, and Yi Chen suddenly sat up from the bed.
It was just daybreak and the clock hands stopped at 6:00.
Yi Chen tried to move his body, but he heard the sound of chains being dragged behind him, clang clang clang~
Turning my head,
The iron chains made of plant matter in the body actually overflowed by themselves while he was sleeping, and formed a butterfly pattern on the bed, which was quite meaningful.
Yi Chen even realized that his own sensitivity seemed to have increased in the dream just now.
"Are you awake?" came a voice from the bed next door.
"Lorian, you woke up early too?"
“What do you mean by waking up early? I haven’t slept at all.
Sleeping can be left to another part of the body. You have to make good use of your time. Once you leave this gambling game, you will not have the chance to read for a while."
"Didn't the night teacher come to your house?"
"An inspection of that level can be concealed with a little visual illusion. By the way, your physique seems to be very special. It's getting more and more interesting."
Having said that, Yue Hen pulled out a silver hairpin and clipped it to the page, then closed the book.
Xinyue raised her left eye and stared at Yi Chen.
"Now that we have verified the feasibility of fast clearance, shall we continue today?"
"Can."
