Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

"God's Chosen One?" Lu Linhai looked puzzled, looking down at the poor man in the machine.

"How do you know he is God's Chosen One?" Lu Linhai looked very carefully, but the more he looked, the more he felt that locking people in the machine was extremely cruel.

The outer wall of the machine not only completely blocked the sunlight outside, but also the high temperature generated when the machine was running made the people inside extremely uncomfortable.

"Crystal." Lin Yi frowned and said.

When Zhang Cheng proposed this conjecture, he was also observing the inside of the machine.

Looking around, Lin Yi noticed something that made him particularly concerned: "There are no crystals for storing energy in this machine."

The densely packed circuits in the machine, the uniquely shaped parts, and the person trapped inside almost occupied the entire internal space of the machine.

But after looking around, they still did not find the crystals for storing energy in the machine.

If there were no crystals, why could this machine emit energy beams?

Zhang Cheng noticed this point, so he proposed the conjecture that "God's Chosen One is a battery".

"At first I thought that this machine was equipped with crystals that store energy, so it can float and emit energy beams." Zhang Cheng continued.

"Just like my drone."

"But now it seems that it is not the crystals that store energy that keep this machine running, but the energy itself, that is, this person."

"I also thought that this machine relies on extracting nutrients from this person's body to keep the machine running." Zhang Cheng glanced at the person in the machine.

"But look at him now, he is extremely weak."

"Maybe it's because of the explosion just now, but how much nutrients can a person who is locked in a machine with all his facial features sewn up have? I'm afraid it won't be long before the machine drains him completely."

"But if he is the Chosen One, then things may be different."

Lin Yi and the others don't know much about the Chosen One, they only know that the Chosen One has special abilities.

"Gorilla, pull off a few of the wires connected to his body." Zhang Cheng pointed at a few of the wires and said, "Just these few."

"Ah?" Lu Linhai hesitated, "This is not good... This person is already very pitiful."

"Then kill him first, and then pull it off." Zhou Kai said casually.

"Let me do it." An Chengdao clenched the butcher knife in his hand. He knew where to attack to kill this person immediately.

"Ah?" Lu Linhai asked, "Do you really want to kill him?"

Lin Yi sighed: "Experiencing such inhuman treatment, death is the best relief for him."

"Besides, do you think he can be saved in his current state?"

With his limbs lost, his eyes, ears and mouth sewn up, and the explosion just now, this person's life has come to an end.

Zhang Cheng did not object. Anyway, judging from the current state of this person, he might not be able to speak.

Can use people as batteries, perhaps, when he was installed in this machine, he could no longer speak.

An Chengdao raised his hand and the knife fell, the speed was frightening.

The man in the machine seemed to feel something scratching his body, or he knew he was going to die, and a smile appeared on his face.

The smile on his face reminded Lin Yi of the boy in the meat ball before.

"Can we pull it now?" Zhang Cheng looked at Lu Linhai.

Lu Linhai nodded and pulled off a few lines along the position of Zhang Cheng's fingers.

I thought it would be very strenuous, but it turned out to be extremely easy.

The top of the pulled line was like a needle, and as the line left the man's body, bright red blood dripped from the line.

"This thing... is used to suck blood?!" Lin Yi saw the needle-like line and understood it instantly.

"It's his blood that keeps this machine running!"

"Not only blood, but also bone marrow." Zhang Cheng pointed to the thickest line in the man's spine.

"Actually, I've always found the Chosen Ones very strange." Zhang Cheng looked at the Chosen Ones in the team, that is, Lin Yi and the others.

"How did the Chosen Ones appear? What kind of people can become the Chosen Ones? What kind of energy does the Chosen Ones consume when using their abilities?"

"But now it seems that the reason you have special abilities may be because of different genes."

"In other words, who can become the Chosen One is actually known from the moment of birth?" Lu Linhai asked.

"No, if who is the Chosen One can be known from the moment of birth, then why does the Oracle City send babies to different cities?" Lin Yi questioned.

"Is it because this gene needs to be activated?" Zhou Kai guessed.

Zhou Kai's words reminded Lin Yi of An Chengdao's past.

When An Chengdao's ability appeared, it was when his life and death were at stake.

Combined with his own situation, it seems to be the same.

So, danger is the way to activate this gene?

"Wait a minute, there's one more thing I don't understand!" Lu Linhai interrupted their thinking.

"Didn't the guy surnamed Lei say that after becoming the Chosen One, one can become one of the so-called 'real humans' in the Oracle City?" Lin Hai asked.

"If the Chosen One can become a 'real human', what about this person who became a battery?"

"Or is it that the Chosen Ones can become 'real humans', which is just a scam?"

"Although I don't know anything about the Chosen Ones for the time being, I can explain this point." Zhang Cheng said.

"The guy surnamed Lei should not have lied, but what he said was not entirely true. After all, that guy's status in the Oracle City is worse than that of the beastman."

According to Zhang Cheng's guess, Brother Lei only knew part of it.

After all, his status was low, and he had very little access to the truth.

"The identity of the Chosen Ones is equivalent to a stepping stone." Zhang Cheng explained.

"Only those who become the Chosen Ones can get rid of the identity of the beastman and become the so-called 'real humans' in the Oracle City."

"But whether the stepping stone in your hand can knock on the door to becoming a human being is not certain."

"Ah? I have become the Chosen Ones, do I still need to subdivide it?" Lu Linhai asked.

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps... whether the Chosen One can be accepted depends on what abilities he possesses."

Zhang Cheng nodded: "I think so too."

The world of adults is very realistic, and even more so in today's world.

If the abilities of a Chosen One cannot bring direct benefits, then this Chosen One is likely to be judged as useless.

This kind of Chosen One is equivalent to chicken ribs, which are tasteless to eat and a pity to discard.

So, in order to squeeze out the last bit of value of these Chosen Ones, they became batteries in these machines.

"If..." Zhou Yun frowned and looked down at the metal gloves on his hands.

"If the Chosen Ones are batteries, then...will the energy stored in these crystals also be extracted from the bodies of the Chosen Ones?"
