Three Realms Sanatorium

There is a gap in the receiving door visually.

Looking at the world beyond the door, Gu Shi instinctively felt a little uncomfortable.

There was an extremely familiar aura exuding there, and he could even feel that mysterious, indescribable power calling him, eager to come back.

Gu Shi frowned.

The bonfire closest to them was not too big, surrounded by five people.They were all very thin, so thin that they seemed to be unable to withstand a little wind, and their clothes had only a little cloth to cover their bodies.

He saw a little girl about seven or eight years old, her mouth was black and blue from the cold, staring intently at the fire.

Gu Shi looked at the figures around the fire: "Those people... don't look very good."

They sat hunched over the edge of the fire, almost still.

Gu Shi raised his eyes to look at Di Ting.

Di Ting listened for a while, then shook his head: "They didn't think about anything."

This is not normal.

A waking human being should have an active mind all the time.Even if you empty your mind and be in a daze, you will inevitably subconsciously describe what you see in your mind.

Gu Shi frowned even tighter.

Xie Jiusi looked down at the humans closest to them, and squeezed Gu Shi's hand: "Let's go."

Gu Shi took a deep breath and stepped into the gap.

When you step on the ground, you can hear the cracking sound of dry soil, and the rough sand and broken rock are even a little harsh.

The moment Gu Shi stepped through the reception door, the whole world hummed silently for a moment.

There is a warm force completely different from this lifeless world, rushing into his body.

In the pitch blackness where it was difficult to see, Gu Shi was surrounded by a thin layer of orange-red fire.

Gu Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the world was clearly visible in his eyes.

The fire of the candle shade hangs high in the sky, and the soil is still expanding a little bit.

There is no life in the land.The sound of water flow comes from people taking water in the distance, and apart from the little movement of taking water, the huge ocean has no tides and does not flow.

There is no wind.

There is no trace of birds, beasts, insects or fish.

The place they are in is an isolated island that is not particularly large.

In the distance, there are a few bungalows showing a little light, and there are human activities inside, which are also silent.

On the high mountain farther away, there is a group of palaces - there are several extremely conspicuous, tyrannical auras that do not belong to humans dormant there.

Bungalows surround the palace complex, and scattered bonfires surround the outermost circle of the isolated island.

Throughout the ocean, there are still many isolated islands like this.

The only thing that can be heard nearby is the breathing and heartbeat of the silent people in front of the fire.

Xie Jiusi felt that the rushing force was arching the hand he was holding with Gu Shi, and wanted to push his hand away so that he could bond with Gu Shi more comprehensively.

Xie Jiusi remained calm and clenched his hands even tighter.

Gu Shi didn't notice anything.

He just looked down at himself who seemed to be turned into a light bulb.

The people gathered in front of the fire turned a blind eye to the newcomers and Gu Shi's abnormalities.

They either stared at the fire, or closed their eyes, if they were not still breathing, it was almost doubtful whether these were wax figures.

Gu Shi looked at Di Ting again.

Ting Ting still shook his head.

Gu Shi thought about talking to these people, adjusted his expression, exhaled silently, and spewed out a ball of fire with a "huh".

Gu Shi was so frightened that he almost took off on the spot.

Xie Jiusi pulled Gu Shi back: "It takes too much power at once, just get used to it."

Gu Shi breathed lightly, and even the rhythm of his speech became slow and cautious: "How long will it take to get used to it?"

"I don't know." Xie Jiusi recalled the time when the phoenix appeared in the past, "Maybe a hundred years or so."

Gu Shi:?

Forget it.

Gu Shi gave up his plan to continue asking.

Xie Jiusi's eyes flicked over the few humans who were indifferent to their appearance, let go of his thoughts, and discovered the palace complex on the high mountain.

"It's a group of big monsters." Di Ting also saw it, "The owner of the magic circle that was hidden here before is not here, otherwise there should be chaos."

Xie Jiusi looked up at Lianhuo hanging high in the sky.

Di Ting was vigilant, and said in a small voice: "Don't startle the snake first, shall we?"

Although Xie Jiusi is awesome all by himself, he and Gu Shi are still very weak!

Gu Shi, the little chick, can't control the flames even when he's breathing heavily, he's far from being able to fight!

If it gets scratched by a stray bullet and turns into a pond fish, it will still hurt, okay?

Xie Jiusi took a quick look and said, "Hurry up and pick him up."

"Okay, okay, let's plan a little bit..." Di Ting began to mutter.

Gu Shi was a little swollen from the force of rushing back, and was still very hot.

He withdrew the hand held by Xie Jiusi, sweat profusely in his palm.

Gu Shi was not in the mood to listen to Di Ting's muttering, he cared more about those people in front of the fire than Di Ting's muttering.

Gu Shi sorted out his probably ugly expression, and walked over.

Listening to him, Xie Jiusi paused for a while, and Xie Jiusi also looked at him.

Gu Shi waved his hand to them, signaling to leave him alone.

He knelt down in front of the little girl.

The girl who had been staring at the fire finally had some reaction. She rolled her eyes and glanced at Gu Shi.

Gu Shi was thinking about how to say hello when he heard the ringing of the bell.

The sound came from a bungalow in the distance.

Obviously the distance is quite far, but because the surrounding environment is really quiet, and the sound is blessed by magic, so that it can be heard clearly from such a long distance.

And the moment the voice sounded, the five people who were motionless just now moved like wax figures.

Their eyes were blind, they stood up like walking corpses, hunched over and walked slowly towards the direction of the bungalow.

In the eyes of the three non-human beings present, at the several bonfires far away from the bungalow, the originally frozen figures were like the five people in front of them, staggering towards the common goal.

As a result, the sound that fell into my ears was accompanied by the sound of many footsteps.

From where they were to their destination, at such a slow pace, it took them about an hour.

But still no one spoke.

Gu Shi's scalp tingled as he looked at the crowd walking silently in the darkness.

At this moment, Truth Listening finally heard some voices.

"They're going to eat."

Listening to the ringing of the bell, Gu Shi looked at the crowd who went to the direction of the bungalow like a conditioned reflex as soon as the bell rang, and a bad idea flashed in his mind.

With a livid face, he looked at Di Ting: "Listen, what are those people in the bungalows thinking?"

He listened attentively, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Some people are complaining, why do they always have to cook for these people, anyway, they will be resurrected after starving to death."

"There are people who think that if it wasn't for a lot of trial and error, they wouldn't be cooking here."

"I think in my heart, but I dare not say it out loud. Someone who spoke casually was tortured to death more than a dozen times before."

Hearing this, Ti heard a bit of disgust on his face.

Gu Shi's face turned pale.

Obviously, these people who were driven to the edge of the island have lost the most basic concept of being human.

They were treated as cattle and sheep and as test subjects.

Gu Shi no longer listened to Di Ting's narration, and appeared in a bungalow a few kilometers away, grabbing the middle-aged man who was ringing the bell impatiently, holding his collar, and He brought it back.

Under the gaze of the three non-human beings, the few people who were cooking in the bungalow commotioned for a moment, and quickly restored order.

Someone soon took over the job of ringing the bell.

No one questioned, and no one thought it was wrong, and everything seemed to be taken for granted as if it had been rehearsed many, many times.

Only the middle-aged man who was caught by Gu Shi was fighting with despair on his face.

But even so, he still didn't dare to make a sound easily.

It doesn't look like a human being at all, but a dog that has been frightened and completely tamed.

Gu Shi's face became even uglier.

He never thought that this would be the case—he naively thought that at most it was a group of humans and monsters messing around in the new world.

Looking at the monsters and spirit beasts that Gu Shi has come into contact with, most of the former are weak, while most of the latter are friendly.

Gu Shi raised his heart, and his thoughts were occupied by fear.

He instinctively didn't dare to think deeply about the meaning of "being tortured to death more than a dozen times" that Di heard.

Xie Jiusi and Di Ting have lived a long time, and Di Ting has to face the dead souls covered in sin every now and then, and is not as naive as Gu Shi.

In the past, the appearance of human beings directly increased the speed of the accumulation of turbidity in this world. No one knew better than the two of them how bad people could be.

Di Ting returned to work and began interrogation.

"What's going on with these people on the periphery?"

The middle-aged man seemed to realize that they were not monsters here, and finally dared to speak: "...I, I don't know."

"Lies." Di Ting stared at the man kneeling on the ground indifferently, and repeated what was in his mind, "They are your tribute to the 'New World'."

The man's breath stopped.

"Where do they come from?"

"……I have no idea."

"Lie." Di Ting still denied him, "They were deceived, abducted, and forced to come here for your 'new world'."

The man's face was like gold paper, and sweat was dripping from his forehead.

Humans do not possess great power.

Except for the families who cooperated with several big monsters and spirit beasts at the beginning, they were always sheltered and lived in the palace on the high mountain, the status of those who participated later was not as good as them.

Human beings are the bottom of the food chain in this place, and this bottom is divided into three, six, and nine grades.

At first, there were demonic cannibalism and killing.

In order to prevent themselves from being eaten, they tried to get the same kind to feed these monsters.

Later, some demons thought it was interesting to see human beings killing each other, so they drove some human beings who had not signed contracts with them out of the palace and asked them to fight among themselves.

The winner drives the loser farther away, and worries about the monsters who can slaughter them like cattle and sheep.

So they tricked more of the same kind to share the monster's attention.

They were marked when they stepped into this dead world, and they were easy to find wherever they fled.

Rather than thinking about running away, it is better to trick one more person.

With one more person, the possibility of surviving will increase.

Gradually, there were the most peripheral and bottom human beings.

"With the new reincarnation, demons will no longer eat people..." the middle-aged man said tremblingly.

They began to study how many times a human can die, and why the number of deaths can vary between different people.

They began to study why human beings who reproduce very quickly cannot give birth to the next generation in this new world after having a new reincarnation.

Life is worse than death, much more terrifying than death.

Those monsters, in order to prevent the surrounding people from starving to death and consuming the ability of reincarnation, they built houses and distributed meals regularly.

When Gu Shi heard about the new reincarnation, his mind went blank.

The things he didn't want to think deeply were laid out in front of him nakedly.

It is because of his strength.

It is because of the inheritance of Nirvana.

Xie Jiusi smelled a trace of hot blood, and suddenly turned to look at Gu Shi.

Gu Shi clenched his hands into fists, unconsciously scratching his palms, and at some point he had been scratched to pieces.

Blood flowed from the palm of his hand, but he didn't feel it.

Xie Jiusi immediately raised his hand to cover Gu Shi's eyes, and made a trick to prevent Gu Shi from continuing to listen, which blocked Gu Shi's mind and made him unable to catch anything.

"No more." Xie Jiusi said.

With a blank face, Gu Shi raised his hand to hold Xie Jiusi's palm.

He can't beat those monsters.

Gu Shi had never hated his own weakness so much.

"Xie Jiusi, Xie Jiusi..."

The blood was sticky, the wound irritated to the touch, and the chill and pain were piercing.

"Kill them! You kill them for me!"
