The former site of the Crystal Palace, Life Canyon.
The underwater human city that was originally stationed here had moved away more than half a month ago. Today is different from the past. Only darkness and silence remain in the once bustling canyon.
Occasionally, the passing plankton emits a faint cold light, illuminating a small piece of coral reef, and you can see the ruins left by humans who once moved here and demolished them.
But amidst the desolation and dilapidation, there is still an obviously man-made object that is functioning.
It was a metal submarine hut.
The motor fan blades at the bottom of the house rotate at a constant speed and emit a balanced current sound, which shows that it still maintains a basic energy supply. The occasional humming sound from inside the hut also shows that there are still people living in it.
However, this metal hut didn’t even have a window. It was more like a special cell than a residence!
Indeed, this is where the "Red Dragon King" Zhu Mei is imprisoned...
If someone could look through the metal wall, they could see two chairs placed back to back under a row of cold lights.
Zhu Mei and Nisha were sitting on the chairs respectively.
Zhu Mei's hands and feet were locked by metal rings, and Nisha's long colorful translucent hair penetrated Zhu Mei's back through her clothes. The weak arcs of electricity that flashed across Zhu Mei's body from time to time were the result of her being forced to discharge. After each discharge, her eyes would become particularly weak.
There was a reason why Lu Ping didn't leave with Zhu Mei. He was worried that Aplodi could sense the real-time location of the Crystal Palace through her.
The original plan was to wait until the Crystal Palace found a new home and figured out how to deal with Queen Scarlet Dragon before picking them up.
But Lu Ping didn't expect that the Crystal Palace, led by Yu Rui, would actually crash into Aplodi's sleeping place! Everything that happened after that was already beyond his control.
Naturally, this undersea metal cell has become a lonely secret room that no one cares about.
At this moment, in the metal cabin, Zhu Mei had just experienced a discharge, her head was weak and she tilted her head back, looking at the ceiling with eyes that revealed she was bored.
She was not in a hurry, because she knew that she had already manipulated Yu Rui earlier and planted a seed of suggestion in her heart by humming a song...
And with Yu Rui's identity and influence, there is a high probability that Crystal Palace will take the initiative to defect to Mr. Aplodi!
This matter is what she cares about most now. As long as there is something to be done about it, she doesn't care how long she is imprisoned.
The undead don’t need to eat anyway.
Perhaps the only regret is that his mouth has been sealed all the time, otherwise he could still chat with little Nisha and relieve his boredom.
Zhu Mei could feel the body temperature coming from behind her without looking back...
Nisha, this little girl, has been sitting behind her unhappily for half a month.
The restraints she was subject to were actually far less tight than her own. Zhu Mei was locked to the chair with metal rings, unable to move at all. However, Nisha could occasionally get up to get the compresses on the shelf not far away. Food, or a glass of water from the tap connected to a seawater filter.
This is enough to show that Nisha "voluntarily" stayed here to control herself!
Of course, based on Zhu Mei's understanding of her, this kind of voluntariness was most likely forced. There is something called a slave chip... Zhu Mei knows very well that once that thing is implanted in the brain, the slightest thought of resistance will cause the chip to warn, and if it is unrepentant, the chip will decisively blow up the host's brain.
Nissa is not immortal, but has extraordinary jellyfish genes... To her, having her brain exploded means instant death, so naturally she doesn't dare to disobey her orders at will.
Obediently obeying the orders, she stayed silent all day long, accompanying herself to jail, and discharged herself every quarter of an hour.
"As long as the Crystal Palace moves to Mr. Aplodi's territory and becomes your possession, you will naturally know that I am trapped here." Zhu Mei thought calmly.
These days, she has been quietly waiting for the seeds she planted to sprout, waiting for changes to come.
However, when the change did come... it was somewhat beyond her expectations.
"Help me...protect me..."
Zhu Mei suddenly heard a call. The call was far away, but it seemed very close, so close that it seemed as if she was right next to her ears.
The call is so urgent!
"Lord Aplodi?"
Zhu Mei's body was shocked!
Her pupils shrank instantly, and the blood network on both sides of her cheeks squirmed crazily.
"Master Aplodi needs help... No, I have to help you." Her originally calm and bored expression suddenly became irritable, and her body twisted on the chair.
However, the metal buckle was extremely strong, and she had just experienced a discharge and was as weak as an ordinary person!
Struggle to no avail...
As time went by, Zhu Mei's strength began to recover, and her twisting became more and more powerful, but at the same time, Nisha's long hair began to shine again.
"Nisha! Stop! Don't make me discharge again!" Zhu Mei really couldn't bear it this time.
Although her mouth was blocked by a metal gag, just as humming a song could seduce Yu Rui... This psychic suggestion ability inherited from Aplodi does not actually require clear articulation!
She could actually control Nisha long ago and make her stop discharging her.
However, Zhu Mei still has the memory of the past after all, and does not want Nisha to be killed by the chip because of this... If Nisha's life conflicts with Lord Aplodi's order, then she will not hesitate, but After all, it was only about her freedom before, and her feelings for Nisha made her choose to go to jail.
But it's different now...
Lord Aplodi, we need help!
Zhu Mei hit the chair hard with her back, making an indistinct sound from her nasal cavity.
As these sounds continued to enter the eardrums, the eyes of the jellyfish gene girl on the other chair gradually widened, showing an expression of struggle.
There is a projected clock on the wall, and the quarter-hour interval is approaching. It is said that the next discharge will be carried out immediately, but the pupils of this girl with colorful long hair are like a big earthquake, and there is obviously a color called conflict spreading rapidly.
"Yeah, I can't treat Sister Mei like this...how can I restrict her freedom..."
"But the chip warned me, what should I do? The next discharge must be carried out immediately... But, but... I can't do it..."
"I really can't do it!"
"Chip, don't force me anymore... Please, I don't want to die yet..."
"Can you give me a little more time to think about it..."
Nisha began to shake her head repeatedly, tears quickly accumulated in her eyes, and then fell uncontrollably.
She was shaking violently, as if sifting chaff. She lowered her head like an ostrich, her shoulders twitching and whimpering.
However, the numbers on the clock moved ruthlessly and did not depend on her will.
A quarter of an hour, just one second passed.
Pfft.
There was a muffled sound, like a firecracker exploding in a watermelon, and Nisha's long, radiant hair suddenly lit up, and then all the light disappeared.
A faint pink color smudged out bit by bit from the roots of the tentacle hair that had returned to transparency.
The girl with the extraordinary jellyfish gene had lost all her strength. Her whole body was like soft boiled noodles, and she slowly slid under the chair.
And on the other chair.
The corners of Zhu Mei's eyes twitched, but her face was expressionless. She just took a deep breath and silently accumulated the strength to recover.
After a few minutes...a strong look suddenly burst out in her eyes.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The metal rings exploded one after another, and she actually got off the chair and stood up!
With another wave of his hand, the metal house was torn open!
Without looking back, the red figure sprang out from the mouth. As soon as it touched the sea water, it quickly transformed into a dark red dragon.
The huge body shook its head and tail, lowered its head and sprinted away in the direction of the mysterious call heard in its heart.
but……
I just broke out two hundred meters.
The red dragon suddenly stopped, and she looked down at her body in disbelief.
The blood network covering the whole body actually began to wither at this time.
Like snowflakes in the sun, or like vines that have lost their moisture, the capillaries that make up the blood network continue to collapse, become thinner, flatten, and eventually disappear without a trace.
"Why did Aplodi's control over me suddenly fail?" The red dragon's eyes widened.
The next moment, her face was twisted in pain.
The huge body turned around in an instant and looked towards the Canyon of Life!
There……
A twisted and deformed metal house that had completely lost power and was plunged into darkness was surrounded by sparse bubbles in the cold sea water.
After a while, the last bubble disappeared.
"What did I do..." The red dragon floated in the sea as if it had been cramped. Two drops of tears the same color as its scales slowly seeped out from the corners of its huge eyes.
