Chapter 36:

Walking to the two destroyed iron gates, Ye Peitian's footsteps paused for a moment, but then he took Chu Qianxun's hand and slowly walked into the dim and extremely narrow aisle.
The caged railings on their sides followed them forward and backward.
"In Goose City, at night, I also stay in such a place." Ye Peitian's voice rang in the empty promenade.
"There are a lot of interesting people closed there. There is a man from the plant department. When the guard is not there, he will stick out thin vines from the gap between the railings and bloom a few beautiful flowers. Amusing the opposite of me A little girl reached for it."
"A few times, he also delivered flowers to my door, but I had a bad temper at that time and didn't pay attention to him."
He tried to say something that sounded interesting, as if he wanted to tell Chu Qianxun that his life was not just a messy past.
"There is also a young boy whose eyes are invisible, but his ability is very special, he can perceive the dynamics of everyone within a certain range. If the defense is close, he will tell us early. God's love seems to use the research and development of his Ability, created today's canine man."
"Later, I heard that they escaped, and I don't know if they are still alive in this world."
Ye Peitian rarely said so much, and Chu Qianxun listened all the way along the way.
They unknowingly walked to the end of the corridor, where the beds of two adjacent cells leaned against each other through a thin wall.
Ye Peitian turned his face, his eyes fell on the two beds that were separated by the wall. This place really made him familiar and terrified.
In those nights when he was about to fall into madness, a man's voice often appeared on the clammy wall beside the bed. In fact, most of the time he did not hear clearly what the person was saying.
Sometimes that person is talking about the past of some golden age, or saying that they will always be able to escape one day, and how to get revenge and how to live a better life after escape.
When Ye Peitian leaned against the wall and curled up in the boundless darkness, the man would knock on the wall, leaned against the wall, and comforted him softly, swearing to him that everyone would escape one day.
"When we escape, I will have a good meal, grab a pheasant and roast it deliciously. It's best to go somewhere to get some wine. That's like being alive."
His voice is often passed this way.
Ye Peitian still doesn't know what that man looks like, only that his name is Ah Xiao.
Because it didn't take long, the next door became quiet. I heard that Xiao Xiao was sent to other research bases.
Ye Peitian and Chu Qianxun finally passed through the too dark corridor and opened the exit door.
The sun is shining outside, the blue sky and white clouds. The warm winter sun spread on Ye Peitian’s face, and he stretched out his finger to block the too bright sunshine.
Through the silver veil, the world he saw was no longer dim, with trees lined with trees and grass, and a free-flying eagle hovering high in the sky.
Ye Peitian's heart was pressed against a heavy and huge stone for many years, and the obscure stone was heavily blocked in his chest, pressing him almost out of breath.
Originally, he thought he would endure in silence for the rest of his life, and it was impossible to turn these things out and tell others.
But when he tried to break the stone and pour out the blood-stained shards, he realized that it didn't seem to be that difficult. The first sentence was said, and then he went on naturally.
When those things were taken out from the bottom of my heart little by little, the feeling of depression that had been stuck in my heart for a long time began to dissolve.
Ye Peitian turned his face, there was a person next to him, looking at him in the sun.
"I'm sorry." He suddenly felt a little sorry. "All you hear is bad."
"I would like to listen to your story. I'm just a little sorry that I didn't appear in your past earlier." Chu Qianxun raised his hand and gently touched his firm cheek, "But in your future, we can go together. "
The heavy door behind him closed with a creak, shutting the dark corridor behind the two forever.
In that building where many semi-demonized humans live.
A woman in a headscarf is pushing a trailer of food, and is distributing food to the semi-demonized people with limited mobility. She was the same woman who had persuaded Kong Haobo and others not to enter by the well earlier.
"Miss Danqin. Thank you, you are such a gentle and good person." The man with a tumor-like monster on his back sat on a chair and said. The heavy monster dragged his body and made his movements very inconvenient.
"Don't say that, these are what I should do." Dan Qin lowered his head, took the empty bowl in the man's hand, and used a clean damp cloth to clean the food on his face and neck.
"If there are more kind people like you in this world, we won't become what we are now. Today there are some outsiders. I persuaded them, but they still insisted on going down."
"Really?" Dan Qin sighed, she put away the towels and pushed the dining car, and walked down the door, "We can't stop the people who are looking for death. We can only hope that they will not find those two."
She made a bowl of batter, placed it in front of the woman crawling on the ground next door, and walked to the next room. Some people thanked her in gratitude, and some people were already confused and would only be angry. Scream. She seems to be very used to it, taking care of all the people briskly and tenderly.
When she came out of a room with a cart, she saw Chu Qianxun and Ye Peitian appearing at the top of the stairs.
"Why someone is here again?" Dan Qin stopped and gave them a helpless look. "Go back, outsider, there is nothing you want here."
Seeing so many half-demonized but not dead humans, Chu Qianxun was almost shocked by the situation before him. She didn't even know whether to call these creatures monsters or humans.
A species whose half of the body was completely out of reach of humans, arched its body in front of her and crawled over.
Then a young child with long silver horns on his forehead rushed out of the room and almost ran into Chu Qianxun.
"This... these are?" Chu Qianxun avoided him, a little bit unable to believe his eyes.
"God's love is trying to create a fighter machine that has the power of a monster to fight, and can communicate and control like a human. The ones abandoned here are only in their eyes..." Ye Peitian glanced at the child, and finally did not Say three words for failure.
Danqin, who was pushing the dining car, walked past them, picked up the child, put it on a chair, carried a bowl of food, and spooned the batter into his mouth.
"They are humans just like us." Dan Qin said, "They can no longer return to human society, they can only stay here to live. I hope you leave and don't disturb their peace anymore."
The little boy handed a flower in his hand to Danqin, "Sister Danqin, I just went to play with Sister Huahua, she gave me this."
Chu Qianxun looked at the scene in front of him, feeling unsure how to feel, "Who are you? Why are you here."
Dan Qin lowered his eyebrows, "I used to be a nurse here, and everyone else has left. I just want to stay and take care of their lives."
Ye Peitian suddenly said: "I want to find a person here, his name has a Xiao character. Everyone calls him A Xiao."
Dan Qin paused in his hand holding the spoon, and a trace of panic was clearly revealed on his face.
"You know where he is." Ye Peitian used affirmative sentences.
"No, he is dead." Dan Qin lowered his head, "A Xiao is no longer here."
...
In the underground space, the members of the Creation Team walked in the basement with huge space and complicated structure.
"So there is still such a large space here."
"Team Liu, how did you know?"
"Be careful and don't talk nonsense." Liu Hezheng, who was walking in the forefront of the team, was rarely nervous.
"Don't be so nervous, Team Liu. This research institute is just in ruins. We searched for a day and we didn't encounter a powerful monster except for those inhuman and ghost monsters."
"With our team's configuration, the eighth-tier old hole, the seventh-tier small wind. Tsk tsk, wherever you put it, it is a powerful team. No matter whether it is a man or a devil, there is nothing to be afraid of. I just I wonder why the president sent us to do such a small thing."
As the group was talking, a little girl's pale face suddenly appeared in the shadows ahead.
Looking closely, under that face was a body covered with black feathers. Those black wings almost merged with the darkness, so that they could not distinguish the boundaries, and the face seemed like a mask suspended in mid-air. .
Liu Hezheng raised an arm and made a warning gesture. At that moment, the team members cooperated and quickly opened the formation, and the defensive fighters holding shields gathered in front of them.
The little girl slowly spread her black wings, and her black feathers gradually faded. Under her innocent face, everything seemed to disappear, leaving only an endless dark void.
Kong Haobo's arrow of flame shot through the air, but it seemed to have been swallowed by darkness, and disappeared silently. The layered black curtains, like the gentle waves on the sea, surging up from all directions.
When Kong Haobo reacted, he was no longer in the dark basement.
There is only boundless darkness around, the earth is dry and cracked, and no grass grows. A few solitary red strange rocks stand abruptly on the vast expanse of land. In the distant night sky, a huge red eye hung high.
The companions around him didn't know where he went, only he was alone.
This may be an attack from the Spirit Department, Kong Haobo thought so.
But unless the opponent's rank is much higher than his own, or his own spirit has a flaw, he shouldn't enter such a strange world that has real touch and cannot be cracked without warning.
"It's not a mental attack, it's a spatial ability superimposed on mental power. It belongs to Xiaoyan's world." A voice came from behind Kong Haobo.
Kong Haobo turned around abruptly, and sitting on a towering rock not far behind him was a young and beautiful man. His facial features were very beautiful, his skin was radiant and fair, and his white blond hair was shining in the darkness. .
He bent one foot, put his cheek in one hand, and looked at Kong Haobo from a height with a smile.
"Xiaoyan's ability has nothing to do with her ranks. Only those who are truly strong in spirit can break this space. The flowers that grow up in the greenhouse protected by you like you, without my guidance, probably can only Stay here forever."
"Who are you?" Kong Haobo pulled out his sword and tightened his guard.
"Oh, you came to me on purpose, but you don't even know who I am? Didn't your president Gu Zhengqing tell you?" The man raised his eyebrows, with a forgiving smile, and looked at the man in his hand. A logbook, "Look, it's so detailed, it's clear how to find this basement."
Kong Haobo recognized that it was the notebook their captain Liu Hezheng had been carrying with him, "Who are you? Where are my companions? What have you done to them?"
"Did you know that there is often a queen-like existence in the defiler's lair. It can induce the demonization of the human beings in captivity, making human beings the same defiler as them?" The man answered the question.
He tore up the notebook and scattered the pieces of paper in the air.
Then one day, God’s love discovered that there are similar supernatural beings in human beings. That person is me. They imprisoned me and used me to put each one of them together. The human body is demonized, creating a powerful war weapon."
Therefore, because God love once imprisoned this man, was it able to refine a semi-demonized soldier? Kong Haobo was taken aback.
"Since you want this power so much, I will let you get it."
The man laughed and turned his white and slender fingers. There was a wound on his white wrist. The black liquid flowed out from it. It spread over the pale skin and stained the entire palm of his hand, the black one. The blood kept dripping on the ground.
The earth surging and cracking, echoing the drilling of countless black semi-gelatinous liquids, those liquids continued to gush out of the ground like tentacles, lifting a human with his hands and feet in the air.
It is the captain of Kong Haobo's team, Liu Hezheng.
At this moment, Liu Hezheng looked dull, his eyes wide open, his mouth open, countless black liquid was pouring into his mouth, and he could only make a clucking sound of unknown meaning.
His back and limbs began to grow sharp demon bodies, which was a sign that he had begun to demonize.
"Stop it! What did you do to him!" Kong Haobo's eyes were cracking, his sword lit up with soaring flames, and the huge flame sword light struck the enemy on the opposite side.
"So what are you doing so angry?" The man jumped from the rock, avoiding the attack, "Isn't he just trying to find this power? I'll let him taste the taste of being forced to demonize."
His face cooled, "This is just the pain we all have experienced."
Kong Haobo quickly rushed forward, swung his sword to cut off the gelatinous tentacles, and caught Liu Hezheng who had fallen from the air.
"Kill...Kill me, Lao Kong, I...Do not bear it, pain...Quickly. Kill me." Liu Hezheng's expression was distorted, his forehead burst out, his bones were creaking and changing, and his skin was cracking. With the outflow of blood, his body, regardless of his pain, is constantly growing sharp scales belonging to monsters.
"Uncle Liu, hold on, Uncle Liu!" Kong Haobo called him desperately.
But soon, the companion in his hand stopped struggling and fell soft.
"It's useless to die so soon. It seems that without the treatment of holy blood, most people still can't survive this level." The man squatted on another stone, looking at the dead person with a little regret. .
Kong Haobo raised his scarlet eyes and looked at him fiercely.
...
Chu Qianxun heard a huge roar from the ground, and pillars of fire pierced the ground, connecting the sky and burning in the sky.
"It's Kong Haobo's ability!" She looked out the window.
Not far from this building, the ground was blasted away by flames, exposing a basement with a cavernous sky beneath the ground, in which crimson flames burst out, and fierce fighting was clearly taking place.
The building was affected by the fighting, the glass broke, the walls cracked, the roof collapsed, and the ground shook violently.
The half-devil who lived in this building with limited mobility, several people were overwhelmed by the collapsed walls or furniture.
The boy with long silver horns on his head jumped from the chair and used his horns to pry a collapsed wall, trying to drag a girl out from underneath.
Dan Qin ignored the vibration of the corridor and rushed forward to help. She is not a supernatural person, she can only use her weak shoulders to prop up the heavy wall.
"Quickly, pull the flowers out." She can only pin her hopes on the young child.
Even the relatives of these children in the village were not willing to approach them, Dan Qin didn't expect the two ambitious outsiders to come to help.
But one arm quickly supported the wall on her shoulders, slowly supporting the heavy wall.
"I hold on, you drag people out."
Chu Qianxun used the term human. If these humans who have undergone some changes in appearance cannot be called humans, then the saints who live in their bodies cannot be called humans either.
Ye Peitian pressed his hands on the ground, and soon the shaking of the entire staircase stopped and stabilized.
"I'll take a look, Chihiro, you stay and help."
Chu Qianxun nodded, and Ye Peitian's figure quickly disappeared from the window.
Helping to move those people with limited mobility but unusually large bodies to a safe place in the yard, even Chu Qianxun was exhausted and panting.
Danqin looked at the place where the fire was shining into the sky, deeply tightened her eyebrows, folded her hands and prayed on the waste grass, "Almighty God, please forgive them and give them merciful redemption. They just can't forget the hatred in their hearts, so much so that Can't find the way home."
"I said you believe in gods so much. Have you ever seen him appear or show miracles for the gods you worship?" Chu Qianxun sat on the ground and asked, "You see that we are half tired, and we haven't seen it. He does a favor."
"Although God does not easily come to the world, I know that he must exist. He exists in my heart and in the world." Dan Qin looked at Chu Qianxun, and she was very grateful to this girl who helped everyone. There are more words, "With the existence of God, I have the direction to pray and know how to atone for the sins I have committed."
"What is your sin? Who is that Xiao Xiao?"
Dan Qin lowered his eyelashes, "A Xiao, he has completely changed, he is no longer the same A Xiao."
...
In the cracked ground, the gelatinous black tentacles tightly bound Kong Haobo, who was scarred.
"Good job, in the end I was able to break the boundaries of Xiaoyan's domain," the man still sat on a rock in the ruins, seemingly distracted, "but it's too late, your companions fell into my hands. . What can you do by yourself?"
Kong Haobo gritted his teeth and struggled desperately to prevent the black blood climbing up his neck from getting into his mouth.
Xiaoyan with a human face and a bird body appeared behind the man and supported his back with her wings.
"Don't worry, Xiaoyan, my body can hold on for a while." The man patted the girl's wings and whispered.
But he quickly raised his head and saw Ye Peitian who appeared not far away.
"Lin Fei, run away. You are not this person's opponent." Kong Haobo choked blood out of his mouth and yelled barely, his throat was quickly pinched by the black tentacles, and he fell into a coma.
The man sitting on the ground stood up and looked at Ye Peitian for a long time, showing a pleasant smile.
"It's Pei Tian, ​​I've been waiting for you. Pei Tian." His face was excited, his chest was slightly rising and falling, "With your joining, we can finally avenge those enemies! Let all people in this world have a taste. Our pain."
Ye Peitian looked at him as well, and slowly shouted out his name, "A Xiao."
"Yes, it's me," A Xiao took two steps forward, reaching out to Ye Peitian, "Pei Tian, ​​with your holy blood, we can work together to create a large number of semi-demonized people. Then, together to the whole The world seeks justice."
Ye Peitian frowned, "What is the difference between you and those of them?"
"Pei Tian, ​​what are you talking about? Have you forgotten the humiliation we have suffered, the revenge we vowed to avenge?" A Xiao's neck moved, and raised his hand to look at his pale fingers, "We They should peel off the skins of those people and soak them all in rotten water, so that they can't live and die."
Ye Peitian looked at the friend in front of him, and saw the former self in those crazy eyes.
He slowly said: "God love, I will destroy it with my own hands. But I can't be like them, hurt other innocent people in a way I hated."
Ah Xiao laughed, his smile even seemed gentle, as if he was just talking about his ideals with his friends.
"You are wrong. We should let everyone in this world taste the taste of being tortured. Why can they live so happily? And we are just like this? Let everyone sink into it together. Hell, we can't be so painful, right, Pei Tian?"
Ye Peitian looked down at his hand, that hand was once stained with blood, "A Xiao, I used to hate this world crazily like you, and wanted to kill everyone. But I finally found out, killing It cannot really calm the hatred in my heart. The more enemies I kill, the bigger the void in my heart."
"In the killing, the only thing I get is more pain and numbness, and I will never be able to free myself from the pain."
Ah Xiao's excited face slowly cooled down, "You have changed. I always thought you would be the partner who understands me best."
Ye Peitian closed his mouth, he knew that they could not convince each other.
He couldn't help thinking back to the night when he was imprisoned in Goose City. This friend often comforted him across the wall, joking with him, and telling him what kind of life he would live after he was free.
But after so many years of inhuman torture, the boy who had good intentions may no longer exist.
"Ah Xiao, we have suffered years of suffering before we have gained freedom. If you impose the hatred on people all over the world, then you will find that you will never get happiness and freedom. I am locked in that dark and cannot escape."
"Huh?" Ah Xiao raised her brows, and pointed her chest with her fingers. "What did you say? Happiness? Freedom? Are people like us still worthy of happiness? I don't even feel that I'm alive, for me. Only the endless blood of the enemy can make me feel a little alive."
"You have changed, Pei Tian. You are no longer who you were before, and I am very disappointed in you." He lowered his face, his eyes showing sullen eyes, "Why on earth? Let you say such a thing?"
