When Miao Nan woke up, he found that he was sleeping in a dark space.

The surrounding area was as silent as a tomb.Only the occasional sound of water bubbles shaking lightly knocked on his senses.He opened his eyes in a daze—and found that he was locked vertically in a huge green liquid tank.

He felt as if his nerves had been hammered thousands of times with some kind of tool...if he could still feel the so-called "neuralgia".

Miao Nan lowered his head and found that he was still in the body of "Adam", but only his spirit was still active, and the body below the head seemed to have been pressed the power-off button, and he couldn't move anywhere.

"..." He pursed his lips slightly, trying to get rid of this numb feeling as soon as possible.

Since he was still alive, since his memory hadn't been washed away—then he had to leave this place quickly.He couldn't let those people discover Lin Xingzhu's existence!

But even though Miao Nan tried his best to struggle, he felt like a speck of duckweed floating on the water, without the slightest bit of strength.

After struggling for an unknown amount of time, Miao Nan gave up.

He could only try to keep his eyes wide open, and observe the world outside the liquid tank through the bright and dim green light in the tank.

It's as quiet as hell.Darkness came from all directions, as if to swallow the faint light in front of him.

However, gradually, his vision became clearer.As if he finally got used to the darkness, he saw more things in the depths of the darkness──

Dots of green light flicker like fireflies.They are arranged in several rows in an orderly manner.

If you look closely, it's not a firefly at all.Instead, there are neatly arranged, countless facilities that are the same as the liquid tank that Miao Nan is in.

There is a person sleeping in each huge vat.Miao Nan couldn't see clearly what kind of person was sleeping in the tanks farther away, but the one sleeping in the tank closest to him was a young man—his face was still young, but his hair Dry and whitish, floating in the green liquid like spoiled aquatic plants.

The weirdest thing is that his face is full of peace and happiness.

Several thick black pipes are inserted into each liquid cylinder.These cumbersome, somewhat old-looking pipes are tangled together and do not know where to extend.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Miao Nan's heart felt cold.Although he can no longer be regarded as a pure human being, when he sees such a scene, there will still be human sorrow and anger in his heart.

Da da.

Someone came out from the darkness of the void, holding a lamp in his hand.The opponent's footsteps were very light, but there was a strange shocking force, which made Miao Nan's spirit tense like a string──

The uncontrollable resentment also tightened at this moment.

The man walked up to Miao Nan holding the lamp, and recognized Miao Nan's face by the dim light.

The other party also saw Miao Nan's eyes still open, and the coldness and anger in those eyes.

"Hush." ​​The other party put his finger on his lips and made a silent movement, "You'd better be quiet. If you don't want to become like them."

Miao Nan rolled his eyeballs upwards with difficulty, only to find that there was no similar black tube on his liquid tank.

Miao Nan frowned, and opened his mouth slightly──

What do you want to do?

Miao Nan couldn't complete the mouth shape of this sentence.But the other party seemed to understand and answered his question.

"I didn't want to do anything. You know, you approached me disguised as Adam." The dean put the lantern at his feet, and looked at the bright green liquid tank around him, "Your consciousness It has been transferred to the chip, and the device here may not work for you. But you should be more or less thankful, if I hadn't brought you here with the idea of ​​trying...you might have completely disappeared in this world up."

Miao Nan couldn't understand what he was saying.

However, the dean smiled at him—as if a demon in elegant human skin had torn off his disguise—the dean said:

"I must be curious, what kind of place is this?"

"Describe me to make an official introduction: Welcome to the 'Promised Land', Mr. Miao Nan. In the Promised Land world, any troubles can be left behind, and everyone can achieve their wishes...except you. Because, you have already Not purely human anymore."

Miao Nan: "..."

Miao Nan looked at him with an incredulous look.

"Look at these people around you. How happy and peaceful they are. I let them immerse themselves in an endless dream, so they can have such a happy look." The dean sighed, "Of course, this will Make them pay a little 'trivial' price."

"..."

Although Miao Nan knew that the so-called Paradise World was most likely a cover, he never expected that Paradise was not in the dungeon at all.The Promised Land is only in the dreams of these sleepers.And these "lucky people" who "stay in the Paradise World" are in such a miserable situation.

Not only did he lose his freedom, but he also lost his clear consciousness──Miao Nan couldn't tell which of the two was more important, but he felt that it might be better than a dream to let him watch all this happen soberly. more painful.

"I've tried my best." The man in front of Miao Nan said, "I've won for them...the maximum happiness. You know, from the very beginning, many people didn't even have a dream."

Miao Nan sneered in his heart: So, everyone should thank you, right?

The dean pretended not to see Miao Nan's emotions.He stretched out his hand, and lightly tapped the wall of the vat beside Miao Nan with his white knuckles.

"Let's talk about you. The intruder of Paradise World." The dean said indifferently, "When you were caught, did you want to kill with a kinetic energy gun?"

Miao Nan: "..."

Dean: "I forgot, you can't speak. But it doesn't matter, I already know."

"You're protecting your companion, aren't you?"

Not being able to contact Miao Nan made Lin Xingzhu feel something was wrong.

Miao Nan was in Adam's team, and the daily tasks were quite heavy.But as long as Lin Xingzhu sent him a letter, the other party would find time to reply within an hour.On the contrary, Lin Xingzhu kept in touch with Miao Nan at this speed.

But this time, Miao Nan had been out of contact for twelve hours.

Lin Xingzhu: "..."

In fact, even if Miao Nan was caught, he and Ji Yuncheng would not be exposed so quickly.Because he had already treated every conversation between himself and Miao Nan specially.Even if someone intercepted Miao Nan's communication equipment, they would not be able to read the information in it.

Besides, Lin Xingzhu has been carefully cleaning up any possible leaks.

In the research institute, Lin Xingzhu's vigilance has already been raised a lot.

But what he was afraid of--

"Miao Nan may have gone to Paradise World."

In the evening, Lin Xingzhui called Ji Yuncheng and Zhou Renyu to a secluded corner and said softly.

Ji Yuncheng was fine, but Zhou Renyu's face turned pale immediately, and he almost couldn't help shouting in a low voice: "What? Didn't you say that you can make a decision before moving? Why did he go to that place?"

Lin Xingzhu: "He told me before that with Adam's identity, he might be able to get close to the dean in Paradise World... At that time, Miao Nan said that he didn't have a chance yet. But now..."

Can't tell now.

Zhou Renyu took a deep breath.It's a little strange that since he joined the dungeon, he has been thinking about the Paradise World, and he looks like he will be happy to ascend to heaven after entering the Paradise World, but the most emotion on his face now is panic: the jealousy of not being caught first, There is no envy either.

...It's not like the reaction of a person who yearns for a paradise world at all.

"If Paradise World is really a personal fairyland as rumored, then as long as Miao Nan doesn't reveal his identity, there shouldn't be too much danger." Lin Xingzhu said after consideration.

"But I'm afraid that it is a false paradise and a real hell." Zhou Renyu said earnestly, and he raised his hand to stroke the broken hair on his forehead. It seemed that this topic brought him an unprecedented experience. A sense of oppression, "I haven't told you all this time, that's because I don't have evidence... But in my vague childhood memory, I should have accompanied my parents into the paradise world. But I didn't keep much good The meeting. The deepest memory is only the endless darkness. I sometimes dream that I am dying, but my parents stand in front of me, as indifferent as two statues..."

"Wait, have you been there?" Ji Yuncheng asked, "Then how did you get out?"

"...I vaguely remember that I was kicked out." Zhou Renyu said, "I made an agreement with someone who couldn't see the face clearly. After I left there, I couldn't mention what I saw there to anyone, nor could I Going back again. So I was inexplicably put on the list of the Gully Base, and became a homeless person on the ground. Fortunately, someone in the Hurricane Camp is an acquaintance with my parents, so I settled down there.”

"This is unbelievable. Do they regret letting you, a child with no merit, enter the 'paradise'?" Lin Xingzhu asked.

"It's unscientific to think about it-if the quota control of Paradise World is so strict, then those who enter mean that they have to be separated from all their relatives and friends. If the quota control is not so strict, then why would I? Are you living outside?" Zhou Renyu questioned, "There must be something wrong here."

The so-called "Paradise World" seems to be more than just a desert oasis, and not just a castle in the air.

Now, it seems to be a place with a glamorous appearance but a hidden murderous intention inside.

The three fell silent for a moment.

What can they do?Do you want to enter the "Paradise World" immediately to rescue Miao Nan?
