The last person who appeared in Lu Si's memories almost disillusioned the eldest grandson's soul.
The person who has been waiting outside the screen is Liu Xinyan!
At this moment, many thoughts flashed through Changsun's mind.
Previously, Changsun speculated that Liu Xinyan sent Li Dong to inspect Kaicheng District as a signal to attack the nobles of the clan.
If the nobles of the clan are brought down, Liu Xinyan can really be regarded as the dominant family in the court. By then, he may have the ability to accomplish certain things.
But at this time, Liu Xinyan appeared in Lu Si's memory, and he seemed to be ready to surrender to the clan nobles. This moment made the eldest grandson a little confused.
Could it be that Liu Xinyan was a noble member of the clan? ! Could it be that the "murder case of the player" and the "missing person case" were just a play directed and acted by Liu Xinyan and the nobles of the clan? Is it to clean up the tail left by these scandals over the years?
The eldest grandson was caught in a brief conflict, and the current situation was more complicated than he thought.
But before Changsun could delve into all the details in his mind, Lu Si's memories attracted him again.
…
"Lu Si" was knocked unconscious by Wang Laoliu after being taken out of the room. When he woke up again, he found that he had been taken to a strange environment.
"Lu Si" first woke up Gou Sheng beside him, then looked around and found that he was in an iron cage. He looked down at the ground and saw that it was covered with dried blood.
"This is...the Colosseum?!"
At this moment, "Lu Si" and Gou Sheng were in the iron cage fighting arena in Yelin City.
But there was no one else in the stands at this moment, only Prince Linfeng and Yuan Chengde.
"Brother Six, Brother Six...help me..."
Although "Lu Si" didn't know what they were going to do with him, he already knew in his heart that he would inevitably die and would even undergo inhuman torture before his death.
How perverted these people are can be seen from everything that happened in the room before.
Not only did Wang Laoliu's eyes show no sympathy, but he said to "Lu Si" with extreme hatred: "You two are eating the food inside and outside. I treat you like brothers, and this is how you repay me!"
"Lu Si", who is about to die, doesn't have a shred of backbone left.
"Brother Six, Brother Six, I was wrong... Please, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please save me..."
Although Wang Laoliu is not a kind-hearted person, he still feels a little unbearable in his heart after seeing his brother in trouble for so many years.
However, when things have developed to this point, it is no longer something that he, a little detective, can decide.
Yuan Chengde said: "Do you want to live?"
"Lu Si" nodded crazily.
Yuan Chengde smiled and said: "I am not a heartless person. You have worked hard for so many years without any merit. You deserve a chance to survive..."
"Lu Si" crawled to the iron cage on hands and knees, as if grasping a life-saving straw, his eyes full of desire for life.
There is no one who is not afraid of death. Survival is human instinct.
Yuan Chengde is well versed in human nature. At this time, he must fully arouse "Lu Si"'s desire to survive, so that the next step will be interesting.
"But you two already know our secret...how do I know if you two will talk nonsense after we go out..."
"Lu Si" looked stunned and was struggling internally.
Now is the only chance to survive, but it is not easy to regain the trust of these people.
"Sir, as long as you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to cut off my tongue and keep this secret rotten in my stomach forever..."
Yuan Chengde glanced sideways at "Lu Si" with disbelief in his eyes.
"Lu Si" struggled for a moment when he saw this, and finally his heart trembled, and his upper and lower teeth suddenly bit his tongue.
"Ah...wu..."
Although "Lu Si" failed to bite off his tongue, the severe pain and gushing blood left him speechless for a while.
"Okay, okay, haha..."
Linfeng, who was sitting above, saw this scene and clapped his hands excitedly.
But Yuan Chengde pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh, why do you need to hurt yourself like this..."
"Lu Si" was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to speak fluently in the future.
"Why is it so, why is it so? Even if you can't speak, you can always write it. Just cutting off your tongue is not enough..."
"Ha ha……"
Everyone on the stage looked at "Lu Si" in the iron cage like a monkey.
"Lu Si" looked at Yuan Chengde in disbelief. It turned out that he just wanted to play with himself.
"ah……"
"Lu Si" angrily rushed towards Yuan Chengde, but the iron cage prevented him from even grabbing the corner of Yuan Chengde's clothes.
Yuan Chengde shook his head and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious..."
"Since I promised to give you a chance to live, how could I tease you..."
But "Lu Si" obviously no longer trusts Yuan Chengde, and still yells at Yuan Chengde like crazy.
Yuan Chengde was not annoyed and continued: "Look down at your chest. There is hope for your life..."
"Lu Si" was stunned, lowered his head and saw that there seemed to be a strange black rune on his chest.
"Lu Si" was so horrified that he almost screamed out because the rune was the same as that of the young man who died tragically.
"You must be grateful to Prince Linfeng. Not only did he not hold you accountable for your disobedience, but he instead rewarded you with the talisman leading to glory. As long as you complete it, you will be reborn!"
"Lu Si" looked blankly, not understanding what Yuan Chengde said.
Yuan Chengde explained: "This talisman is called 'Shadow Puppet Show'. What you have on your body is the main formation that symbolizes dominance. Where is the auxiliary formation..."
Yuan Chengde paused deliberately, and then "Lu Si" followed Yuan Chengde's gaze, and at the end of his sight was Gou Sheng slumped on the ground.
Gou Sheng showed no reaction from beginning to end, like a body that had lost its soul.
Lu Si searched along Gou Sheng's exposed skin, and finally found the same strange black rune on his neck.
"He is your shadow puppet!"
"Suck your shadow puppet, and you will, like the princes, experience the power... that attracts countless people in this world!"
"What a glory this is, enough to sublimate your life... At that time, you will no longer be Lu Si, you will be the god who dominates life!"
Yuan Chengde's voice was so alluring that "Lu Si" couldn't help but yearn for it.
If there are gods in the Kyushu Continent, there is no doubt that they must be warriors who stand at the pinnacle of martial arts.
The power of a warrior, which many people dream of, can now be achieved by just sucking shadow puppets. This is enough to make people crazy.
"Lu Si" understands, understands, and wants to understand.
Those who can keep the secret are either dead people or "one's own people", and the shadow puppet show on one's body is an admission ticket, and completing this inhalation is the baptism of membership.
"Lu Si" knew that this "baptism" would inevitably lead to a narrow escape, but now he had no choice.
"Lu Si" looked at Gou Sheng on the ground, his eyes gradually filled with greed.
Gou Sheng seemed to be unconscious, and his eyes were so blank that one could see through them at a glance.
But when "Lu Si" walked slowly in front of Gou Sheng, Gou Sheng's pupils reflected the figure of "Lu Si", and then Gou Sheng seemed to have come back to his senses.
"Lu Si" was shocked when he saw Gou Sheng making some movement, as if he had been caught red-handed during a robbery in the past.
"Lu Si" said with a guilty conscience: "Sheng'er, I have no choice..."
Although Gou Sheng seemed to have regained his soul, he was still slow to react.
Seeing that Gou Sheng didn't respond, "Lu Si" felt a little relieved and prepared to start the baptism.
But at this moment, Linfeng on the stage suddenly said: "Master Yuan, this is a bit boring."
"Lu Si" looked back at the stage. Yuan Chengde seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Yes, yes, I forgot..."
Yuan Chengde turned to "Lu Si" and continued: "As the saying goes, the palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. You have all been my capable men. It is always unfair to focus on one at the expense of the other. He should also have a chance to live, right..."
"Lu Si" didn't understand what Yuan Chengde meant, but the roar of a wild beast came from outside the iron cage.
"This hell dog is also a shadow puppet, but it is the leftover shadow puppet..."
"Lu Si" looked at the hell dog that was tied by an iron chain. The standing body was as tall as a person. Such a hell dog was at least as strong as the peak of the Walker Realm.
The iron cage was opened, and the Hellhound was sent into the iron cage. Although it was tied with an iron chain, its range of activities was still very large.
"Lu Si" took Gou Sheng and hid in the corner of the iron cage. The hell dog opened its mouth ferociously and bit at the two of them. Even when the iron chain was stretched straight, it still could not restrain its ferocity.
Yuan Chengde continued: "Gou Sheng, if you want to survive, then suck your shadow puppet. By then your strength will be enough for you to turn against Lu Si..."
"Baptism always involves sacrifice, it just depends on who you sacrifice..."
"Of course, if you two have a deep love for each other as brothers, you can also choose to become the food of the Hell Dog together... This chain may not last long, so you should make a decision early..."
After saying that, Yuan Chengde loosened the chain a little more, and the Hell Dog immediately got a little closer to Lu Si and the other two.
"Okay, okay, this is the best!"
Lin Feng in the stands could not help clapping his hands again.
Even the eldest grandson could not help but frown at Yuan Chengde's sinister nature.
Yuan Chengde used their desire for life to inspire the deepest evil in their hearts.
If "Lu Si" wants to live, he must drink the dog's leftovers, because only in this way can he kill the hell dog.
If Gou Sheng wants to live, he can only suck the hell dog. And after that, he will kill "Lu Si", because the shadow play auxiliary formation on his body is a reminder.
"Lu Si" in the iron cage was tortured to the point of going crazy. He just wanted to live, why was it so difficult...
"Sheng'er...yes...sorry..."
"Lu Si" couldn't bear it anymore and was ready to attack Gou Sheng.
But after turning around, the moment "Lu Si" and Gou Sheng looked at each other, he was stunned.
At this time, Gou Sheng's eyes were clear, as if he had turned back into the rational and cheerful big boy.
"Si'er, let's do it... Cui'er is dead, and I have nothing to worry about in this world... Now you are my only 'relative' in this world..."
Gou Sheng's whisper floated into "Lu Si"'s ears, but thunder rang out in his mind.
"Lu Si", who was originally determined, hesitated at this moment.
All the things the two of them had gotten along with over the years came to mind, and it seemed that apart from Brother Tian, the only "relative" I had left was like a dog...
At this moment, friendship seems to have defeated the darkness of human nature.
But the hell dog on the side can't be defeated by emotion.
Gou Sheng saw the hell dog getting closer and closer to the two of them, but "Lu Si" seemed to gradually let go of his desire to live.
Gou Sheng was so anxious that he shouted: "Hurry up and do it. If you don't do it, I won't be polite..."
But at this time, such threats could not shake "Lv Si" at all.
Gou Sheng had no choice but to stand up tremblingly and walked towards the hell dog.
The hell dog seemed to feel Gou Sheng's suppression of him, and actually wanted to avoid Gou Sheng.
Everyone in the stands suddenly became excited when they saw Gou Sheng finally making a move.
"Let's take action, let's start taking action..."
Dancing excitedly in the wind.
Just when Gou Sheng was about to start sucking the Hell Dog, an accident happened.
It turned out that the hell dog was not afraid of Gou Sheng at all, but was just deliberately showing weakness to lure it into its attack range.
I saw the hell dog suddenly changed its direction and opened its bloody mouth at the dog. If this mouthful continues, Gou Sheng may lose half of his body.
"ah……"
The next second, screams sounded.
But what shocked everyone was that the scream did not come from Gou Sheng's mouth, but from "Lu Si".
"Lu Si" collapsed to the ground, and his lower body had become the food of the hell dog.
At the last moment, "Lu Si" knocked Gou Sheng down and used his lower body to save Gou Sheng's life.
“Wonderful and wonderful!”
The blood in the iron cage not only did not cause Linfeng any discomfort, but instead made him more excited.
"Si'er!"
Gou Sheng couldn't believe it, and at this moment, the hell dog also followed the smell of blood and killed "Lu Si".
When Gou Sheng saw this, his eyes suddenly turned red. His originally thin body burst out with power that did not belong to him at this moment.
Gou Sheng jumped up and took advantage of the hell dog's back to jump on its back.
"ah!"
Gou Sheng triggered the shadow play on his chest, and instantly a dark energy began to burn the Hell Dog's body.
At the same time, after this dark energy burned the life source of the hell dog, it was stained with scarlet and turned into dark red.
The runes on Gou Sheng's body gradually extended to the hell dog like tentacles, like a guide, guiding the dark red energy into Gou Sheng's body.
Seeing this scene, the eldest grandson finally understood what the shadow puppetry of the clan nobles actually represented.
…
The horror of evil thoughts is known to the whole world. If everyone can use it to practice, then the sea of underworld will not become a restricted area in life.
The reason why the eldest grandson can absorb evil thoughts is because of the evil spirits in his body. As for why the evil spirits appear in his body, the eldest grandson himself does not know.
There are still people on the mainland who can control evil thoughts to practice cultivation, and that is the surviving clan.
The survivors can practice evil thoughts because they have mysterious techniques passed down from ancient times.
But even with this technique, it is not without barriers to become a survivor.
Those who can become survivors are often warriors with advanced realms.
From this point, Changsun can guess that the essence of the survivors' practice of evil thoughts should be to use the high-energy characteristics of evil thoughts to stimulate the growth of realm and force, and at the same time use their own advanced realm to suppress the characteristics of evil thoughts that destroy themselves.
However, this method of cultivation also has a fatal drawback, that is, as more evil thoughts are absorbed, its destructive characteristics become more and more difficult to suppress, and in the end it will even affect the spirit and behavior of the warrior.
This is the reason why the survivors are so cruel.
As for the battle at the Kaicheng District garbage dump, Changsun had always been doubtful.
Regardless of whether it is Boss Yu or Wang Laoliu, they are not considered to be at a high level. Except for the accident of the eldest grandson, it stands to reason that as long as a warrior of this level dares to indulge in evil thoughts, the only ending is to be wiped out in ashes.
And what surprised the eldest grandson even more was that not only were they able to absorb evil thoughts, but when they did not absorb evil thoughts, they were actually able to remain sober as normal people, instead of being as ferocious as the survivors.
It wasn't until he saw Gou Sheng sucking up shadow puppets that the eldest grandson truly understood how the nobles of the clan did all this...
It's just that this process is several times more evil and cruel than the survivors...
"They use the shadow puppet's life source to neutralize the destructive properties of evil thoughts..."
In this way, the evil thoughts filtered by the shadow puppets become relatively pure and safe energy.
The price...is a living life...
Changsun could not imagine how heartbreaking this move was...
…
But even though the evil thoughts have been neutralized by the hell dog's life source, this energy is not something Gou Sheng can easily absorb.
After the energy entered Gou Sheng's body, it began to destroy his body crazily. At this time, Gou Sheng's pain was no less than that of the hell dog beneath him.
But Gou Sheng tightly clamped the violent hell dog under him and allowed the energy to rage inside his body.
"Si'er, suck me quickly!"
Gou Sheng squeezed out these words through clenched teeth.
"Lu Si" was stunned when he saw this scene, and even forgot about the pain in his lower body.
Gou Sheng almost couldn't hold on any longer. Seeing "Lu Si" still dazed, he endured the pain and crawled towards "Lu Si".
"Si'er, you must live on, live on for me!"
Gou Sheng's resolute look before his death is still firmly imprinted in Lu Si's mind.
Gou Sheng grabbed "Lu Si"'s body and forced the shadow puppet show.
As if influenced by the auxiliary formation, the shadow play on "Lu Si" started to run automatically.
At this time, Hell Dog, Gou Sheng and "Lu Si" seemed to have become one through the connection of shadow puppets.
"What a miracle!"
Linfeng looked at everything happening in the iron cage in surprise.
And in the moment when he exclaimed, Gou Sheng completed the sacrifice to "Lu Si", and only the lower body of the hell dog was left. At this time, he and "Lu Si" actually formed a half-human, half-dog whole.
Changsun looked at Lu Si next to him in shock. It turned out that this was the reason why he looked like this.
While everyone was shocked, "Lu Si" stood up, broke through the iron cage, and escaped into the darkness...
