Lin Li took Jerry and Martin and walked out of the scroll.
In the steel jungle, the trees were particularly eye-catching, and Drewby had already set up a hammock between two trees, lying on it and continuing to read the newspaper he had not finished reading.
Beside the bed were figures who were either unconscious or with missing limbs, and some even had only the red crystal stone left representing death.
"Are you sure there are no fish that slipped through the net, Drewby?" Lin Li asked while dragging the bald Yasheng over.
Drewby nodded.
Jerry was much faster than Lin Li. He trotted all the way, climbed a tree, and then jumped onto Drewby's belly. He waved broadly to Drewby with a smile that seemed like a reunion after a long absence.
Drewby nodded in greeting, and then both sides stretched out a hand and shook it together.
"Drewby, if Jerry proposes that he wants to run away with you, you must not agree." Seeing the dog and the mouse communicating silently with their expressions, Lin Li said with a smile.
"Jerry doesn't really want to leave." Drewby said slowly to Lin Li, and then looked at Jerry:
"Jerry, if you want to leave, Lin Li will call his friend Yu Nian, cry and hold your thigh, begging you not to leave. But if you really make up your mind to leave, Lin Li will bless you, but will be sad. ."
"Hey, hey, hey! Drewbi, don't interpret what's on your mind and say it out loud. I agree with the second half of the sentence, but there is no such thing as the first half!" Lin Li's head was full of black lines.
Jerry raised his eyebrows when he heard this, ran to Lin Li, stretched out his calf, and looked at Lin Li expectantly.
This gesture means "My legs are here, cry, beg, don't be embarrassed, I'm looking forward to it."
"Ha." Lin Li sneered.
Then Jerry ate a heavy chestnut from Lin Li, and his body sank into the soil.
"Martin, please go to sleep first." Lin Li tied up the awakened people in the capital and said to the sleepy Martin. Lin Li took Jerry straight to the prison.
Although Martin was very curious about Drubi, his body was already set up so that he could no longer support it. Hearing this, he nodded, and his whole body shrank into a green ball, with a faint sound of breathing coming from it.
As for whether these prisoners would wake up temporarily, it didn't matter. Drewbi was still outside, and Lin Li was reassured.
Yu Nian heard footsteps outside the prison door, and he looked forward to it.
After letting Jerry operate the prison system and opening the prison door, Lin Li smiled brightly.
"In Yu Nian, although you have lost your lifelong happiness and twenty years of life, you are saved!"
Yu Nian: "?"
I understand, I was used as a sacrifice by Brother Lin in a cult ritual.
"If Yang Shou is gone, it will be gone. Regarding happiness, Brother Lin, can you bargain with the Evil God? At least leave some for me." Yu Nian said with a mournful face.
"It's a deal, who will bargain with you?" Lin Li smiled and opened Yu Nian's shackles, and then asked: "Where are the thousands of residents in the city? Are they still alive?"
"Most of us are alive because we have no ability to resist. The awakened people in these capitals did not kill us all. They just captured us and imprisoned us in a corner of the city. We should still be there now."
Yu Nian stood up, moved his body and wrists, and said.
"That's good." Lin Li nodded. The number of residents in Dawn City is also related to his reward for a reward mission. Although it is somewhat dispensable now, it is still life after all. "Then you can wait a moment. Let them out."
"Have all those guys really been eliminated?" Yu Nian hesitated for a while and then asked in disbelief.
Because it had only been an hour since Brother Lin started shouting outside. The number and strength of those awakened ones was so large that Yu Nian had witnessed it with his own eyes - the awakening team of Dawn City, which he thought he had, could defeat the entire army in one encounter. Overturned.
How is this done?
"The fact that I can walk here leisurely doesn't mean a lot." Lin Li shrugged, and then asked, "Do you know where Tom was sliced and studied?"
Yu Nian pointed downward.
"Tom has gone to hell?" Lin Li raised his eyebrows.
Upon hearing this, Jerry took out a black and white photo of Tom from behind, hugged it in front of him, and began to cry silently.
"Is the banquet ready? I want to sit at the children's table." Lin Li asked immediately.
"I want it too! I want braised pig's trotters too!" Jerry threw away Tom's photo and raised his hand to emphasize.
"No... Brother Lin, I can't keep up with the brain circuits of you and Brother Mouse. Brother Cat is in the dark room of the underground prison here. During this time, he should have been tortured by the awakened ones of the capital's spiritual system... "
Speaking of the awakened one, Yu Nian showed a little fear, and he had obviously suffered a lot at the hands of the other party.
"Go and release the residents. By the way, tell them that the crisis has been resolved. Jerry and I are going to find Tom."
"knew!"
After giving Yu Nian's instructions, Lin Li went downstairs and found the hidden prison basement.
Lin Li pushed open the darkroom door.
Under the dim light, a blue and white British shorthair cat lay paralyzed on a metal bed, lifeless.
"Tom?" Lin Li asked tentatively as he looked at the grim scene.
As slow as an old man, Tom on the iron bed did not move at all for the first time.
It wasn't until Lin Li shouted the second time that Tom mechanically turned his head, revealing his decadent face - heavy black eyelids and a mouth full of stubble, which was exactly the same as when he was rejected by the little female cat.
It seemed that there was no hope of life.
"Are you okay?" Lin Li was a little worried after seeing this scene.
Was the defense really breached?
"Woooooooo..." After seeing clearly that the person coming was Lin Li, Tom sobbed and hugged Lin Li's thigh.
"Don't cry, don't cry. It's okay now." Lin Li had no choice but to hold Tom in his arms and stroke his back.
Jerry's eyes were also full of worry. Underneath the worry was anger towards those awakened people - you are finished.
If it really doesn't work, I can only try to see if I can ask my second cousin to provide psychological counseling to Tom.
Jerry, who was still thinking this, suddenly sniffed and smelled a scent. He followed the smell and came to the corner of the room, where there was a small 'hillside' covered with cloth.
So Jerry pulled his hand, and the cloth on it was pulled off, revealing what was inside...
Snacks, toys, drinks, female cat dolls, massagers and other play items.
Jerry: "..."
I can smell the aroma because some of the snacks inside are freshly opened! Apparently someone had eaten it not long ago, no, a cat had eaten it.
No, no, it’s not a cat, it’s a dog!
Jerry narrowed his eyes.
“Oh ho ho—!!!”
Lin Li, who was comforting the sobbing Tom, covered his ears because of the classic Tom howl. Tom in his arms flew into the sky like a monkey, and his head smashed through the ceiling.
The whole cat was hanging on it.
Upstairs, Yu Nian, who had not yet left, looked at Tom's head that suddenly popped up from the ground.
"?" Is this reasonable?
"Cat...Brother Cat, are you okay?" Yu Nian didn't know what to say.
Tom shook his head in embarrassment. He used a little force with his hands to pull himself out of the ceiling and fell back to the ground. During the fall, he still had the thought to turn his head to aim, adjust his position, and sit on Jerry's body. .
But then, Tom screamed again and went to the sky, because in Jerry's hand, he held a roll of tape covered with hair - now Tom's butt was bald.
"boom--"
Upstairs, another hole was made, and Tom and Yu Nian looked at each other again.
Yu Nian: "???"
After Tom disappeared again, Yu Nian lay on the ground and talked to Lin Li downstairs through the hole made by Tom: "Brother Lin, what happened?"
Lin Li stood in the corner of the room that Jerry had just found with him. The corner of his mouth twitched. Then he turned to look at Tom, whose stubble and dark circles had disappeared. He was full of energy and was chasing Jerry angrily. He took a deep breath.
Damn Tom, are you pretending to be pitiful?
Lin Li had already imagined the scene just now:
Tom, who was eating snacks and drinking drinks in the dark room and enjoying the wonderful life of house arrest, instinctively felt that he was getting closer, so he quickly piled these things in the corner, took a cloth to cover them, and then lay on the bed and acted out. He looked so miserable!
After hearing Yu Nian's conversation, Lin Li raised his head with a smile: "Yu Nian, get ready, you have to do something for nothing in seven days."
"Ah? What should we do?" Yu Nian was confused.
"Tom's first seven."
Yu Nian, Tom: "..."
Yu Nian left silently, and he understood that this was no longer a dispute that he could get involved in.
…
With a heavy head on his head and tears of grievance on his face, Tom was dragged out of prison by Lin Li in despair.
Tom, who was originally listless and hopeless, showed the same reaction as Jerry when he saw Drewby in the hammock - he immediately stepped forward excitedly and shook hands with Drewby.
But Tom was more familiar. He took out two cigars and lit one for Drubi. Then he got into the hammock, and a cat and a dog lay crowded together.
Jerry could bear it when he saw this? He jumped up without hesitation.
The bed for three people seemed a bit crowded, and Drewbi sighed, but Lin Li ignored them and counted the prisoners and trophies.
The dragon man was roasted to death by his own fire, the translucent man knocked himself to death, Banzhong was killed by his own trap, the giant was left with only a thin skin, the sand man was reforested...
After collecting all their human crystals, Lin Li was left with only Yasheng, Split Man, Mu Chun, Jin Xin, and an awakened person that Lin Li had never seen before, a total of five people.
It's only been less than an hour. I'm dead and disabled.
"Tom, lend me a goose feather."
After taking the goose feather, Lin Li began to scratch the soles of Yasheng's feet.
"Hey hey hey hey -" Accompanied by extremely high-pitched laughter - the helium was still taking effect, and Yasheng opened his eyes.
Lin Li's smiling faces came into view.
He must have fallen asleep, so Yasheng silently closed his eyes.
"Bang!" Yasheng felt the burning pain on his cheek. He was sure it was not a dream. He opened his eyes helplessly and looked at Lin Li who was holding the split hand of his teammate.
He looked around and saw his teammates or their human crystals, as well as the trio of animals leisurely reading newspapers. Naturally, Yasheng knew how desperate the current reality was.
At the same time, he also discovered an even more desperate change - when he woke up, his head suddenly turned into the Mediterranean Sea!
Where is your hair! Who the hell did this!
Scholars can be killed, but not humiliated!
"Have you ever thought about this result?" Lin Li asked.
"No." Yasheng shook his head and said sincerely.
"Legacy for those who confess, severity for those who resist. Are all of you here - counting these crystals?"
"Yes." Yasheng told the truth.
"Since you all said that Dawn City is so remote, why did a group of people come here to fight for me?" Lin Li asked.
"If there is suddenly a person in the world who is completely unpredictable and controllable. There has never been such an existence in a hundred years. As a person who controls the world, he will naturally want to study the mystery and background of this person. This is very reasonable, isn't it? ?
Like me now, I still don't know what your ability is, and I'm still very curious. Yasheng replied.
"So your superiors plan to capture me alive and take me back to the capital for study?"
"Um."
"Did you draw any conclusions from your research on Tom here?"
"This monster is lazy, longs for the days of eating and sleeping, has no ambition, and likes to be a licking dog..." Yasheng fainted before he could finish his words.
——Behind him, Tom was holding a wooden stick and was furious.
How can you speak ill of a cat behind its back? Tom was very confident, because what Yasheng said was simply not worthy of the name - he was not a World of Warcraft!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and Tom began to pull at Yasheng's remaining hair.
"The research is very thorough." Lin Li sighed, then sent Tom away and used goose feathers to wake Yasheng up again.
Yasheng just had a very scary dream. In the dream, he met a dog named Drupy, who wiped out his entire team. Then he was arrested and interrogated afterwards. The most terrifying thing is that his hair Became the Mediterranean...
Yasheng, who was thinking this way, saw Lin Li's smiling face as soon as he opened his eyes.
——The same smiling face as in the previous dream.
"..."
Yasheng looked around again. Nothing in the scene had changed. No, there was still a change. His head turned into a Yin-Yang Mediterranean head - only half of it was left.
Damn it, it was not a dream just now.
"Continuing with the question just now, although you have studied Tom's character very thoroughly, what about his abilities and their sources?" Lin Li asked.
“Without a clue, I just feel... it’s not a product that our world should have, and it goes against all the principles and knowledge we know.
The real owner of the giant ball under Dawn City is Lin Li, right? We are also unable to study or even destroy it. Wan Zhong thinks that after bringing it back to the capital, there may be a way. Yasheng shook his head.
"That's it." Lin Li nodded, not surprised by the answer.
"What's your strength?" Lin Li asked again.
"7S."
"...I can't tell." Lin Li looked Yasheng up and down, full of doubts, "Really? You didn't lie to me? Is there really 7S?"
Ya's face turned red with anger, and regardless of his current status as a prisoner, he was furious: "I was completely incapacitated by a balloon, don't you think I'm aggrieved! I should be the top strong man wherever I go, it's you This dog is really not a human!”
"Drewby is not a human in the first place, he is just a harmless puppy." Lin Li pointed at Drewby.
Drewbi, who was reading the newspaper, nodded when he heard this: "Woof woof."
Very cooperative.
Feeling that he had been humiliated again, Yasheng fell into silence again.
You are a harmless puppy, what am I? A cute and kind paramecium?
"Are there many people of your level in the capital?" Lin Li asked.
"Not many. Although we are not the top, we can still be considered to have extremely strong combat capabilities." Ya Sheng shook his head, "Do you really think that the awakened ones with S-level potential are cabbages? They are your dogs¥# %#@”
"Where is the capital?" Ignoring Yasheng's complaints, Lin Li asked some of the questions he had asked Xinglie before and compared the answers.
…
"Okay, the question I want to ask now is about the details of the plan between you and the Gray Beast. Before you answer this question, let me remind you that the last Xing Lie who answered this question seems to have been remotely killed by the Lord of your capital city. died."
Lin Li reminded him thoughtfully and described the circumstances of Xing Lie's death.
Yasheng, who was about to open his mouth, was stuck as if he had swallowed a mouthful of flies.
"Why aren't you talking?" Lin Li asked.
How dare you say this!
"Xinglie was planted with this hint, and I'm afraid we were also planted. Therefore, if I told him, it would probably end in the same way, and he would commit suicide." Yasheng said cryptically.
"It's okay." Lin Li waved his hand, "Xing Lie used his ability to self-destruct.
But you... you don't have any abilities now. As long as I hold down your limbs, there is nothing you can do to die. Don't worry. "
Yasheng felt like he was being murdered.
