"Where am I?"
When Xiao Yi woke up, he found himself in a dark and damp cell-like place. His head was still dizzy and he felt very uncomfortable.
"Isn't this true?"
Xiao Yi was in shock, with that terrible experience in his mind. He still couldn't accept what happened and wondered if it was a nightmare.
There were several men and women with dull eyes and haggard faces in the cell. They huddled aside and paid no attention to Xiao Yi's existence.
"Who are you?" Xiao Yi looked at these people wearing similar clothes and thought to himself that they were not from the same place.
These people ignored Xiao Yi. They had no energy at all, as if they were hollowed-out bodies.
Xiao Yi wanted to move, but found that he could not walk a few steps, so he looked down and was shocked to find that his hands and feet were penetrated by chains.
It felt strange, as if these chains had locked up the strength in Xiao Yi's body, making it impossible for Xiao Yi to exert any strength.
"What the hell?" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and tried hard to shake his hands and feet, but he couldn't break free of these chains.
The bearded man next to him sighed and kindly reminded: "Forget it, don't waste your efforts. This is a soul-locking chain, specially designed to lock souls. You can't escape."
Others looked at Xiao Yi with sympathetic eyes, and their numb expressions seemed to tell Xiao Yi that it was really useless. We once refused to accept our fate like you, but look at us now.
"What, do I really only have my soul left, what about my body?" Xiao Yi was very scared. He could clearly see his hands and feet, but there was no feeling of flesh and blood at all.
Uncle Beard smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You must have been deceived by someone you trusted just like us. You lost your body and your soul traveled here in a daze."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi felt a chill in his heart, remembering the strange experience before, it turned out that it was really not a dream.
"My soul really traveled to a new world?" Xiao Yi panicked. What about traveling and losing his original body? He traveled over without any mental preparation.
The worst thing is that after he traveled through time, he didn't get a good opportunity at all. Instead of entering a new body with talents, his soul was imprisoned.
Yes, because of a deception and conspiracy, not only Xiao Yi, but also many people like him traveled here and are now in trouble.
"I don't want to be an unlucky time traveler, I want to go back, I want to get back everything I lost." Xiao Yi yelled, he didn't want to accept his fate, he still wanted to struggle. But the soul-locking chain locked him tightly, and he couldn't go there. Everything he did was in vain.
The bearded uncle shook his head and sighed: "If it were so easy, we would have run away long ago. Who wants to stay in this hellish place?"
At this time, a person seemed to be stimulated, suddenly lost control of his emotions, and cried loudly: "I want to go home, I want to go home, I still have my family waiting for me, my child has just been born, they can't live without them." Me, what should I do, what should my family do?”
After hearing this, everyone felt sad, and some even shed tears silently. Go home? Who wouldn't? But can you go back?
Xiao Yi stopped messing around. He felt the aura of helplessness and despair in everyone, which made his heart sink. He realized that he might not be able to go back.
Suddenly, Xiao Yi's mind went blank. The images of several relatives and friends were blurred in his mind. Some memories seemed to be lost and he could not recall them.
"How could it be, my memory, what's wrong with me?" Xiao Yi was frightened. He looked at the people around him, hoping to get an answer.
Uncle Beard smiled bitterly: "Give up. After we cross over, our souls will not belong to us, and our previous memories will slowly disappear. We will soon forget how we crossed over, and we will not remember who harmed us." It’s like this.”
"What! Are these bastards going to take away our precious memories?" Xiao Yi felt a surge of anger and unwillingness in his heart. He did not accept such an ending.
But so what if you don't accept it. Look at the people around you. Who was not indignant when they first traveled here? Who didn't hold on to the last glimmer of hope and struggled with all their strength, but in the end they were not at the bottom of despair.
No, Xiao Yi thought of the hateful faces and proud expressions of that couple.
Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, hatred welling up. He said he didn't want it to end like this.
"I want to go back. I just got a promotion and a raise. I still have a great life. I don't want to stay here." Xiao Yi wanted to call on everyone to cheer up and find a solution together. Maybe there is hope if we unite.
But no one responded, and everyone looked frustrated.
Uncle Beard winked at Xiao Yi and told Xiao Yi to stop talking.
Suddenly there was a hint of coolness in the darkness, and a masked man in black appeared silently like a ghost, exuding a bone-chilling aura. He held a whip with a faint light in his hand.
"Who is this person?" Before Xiao Yi could understand, he heard other people kneeling on the ground and pleading: "The person in charge is none of our business. He wants to rebel."
The masked man in black looked at Xiao Yi coldly, with a cold light like a sharp blade in his eyes, coupled with the sinister aura, Xiao Yi couldn't bear it and his body trembled.
"You're new here. You don't know the rules. Let me teach you." After the masked man in black said coldly, he began to wave the whip in his hand and hit Xiao Yi.
There was only a snap sound, and the whip hit Xiao Yi's body hard. In an instant, a sharp pain like a thousand cuts struck him, and the pain made Xiao Yi scream heart-breakingly.
This is no ordinary whip, it is a soul whip, specifically targeting the soul.
Xiao Yi could not bear the pain caused by the soul whip, and his expression was twisted in pain. He knelt on the ground, as if admitting his mistake, as if surrendering.
The masked man in black was very disdainful: "You can't stand it after just one whip. Even you want to rebel." After saying that, the masked man in black exerted his strength again and waved the whip in his hand, making a sharp roar.
One whip, two whips, three whips, the whips are like a violent storm.
Xiao Yi huddled up and endured the whipping, feeling extremely painful.
The man in black mask swung his whip and taunted: "Who do you think you are? Do you think your life still belongs to you?"
It hurt, it hurt, Xiao Yi had no body, so he was not beaten black and blue, and his skin was not torn to pieces, but every whipping was like a severe pain like a thousand cuts. After being whipped more than a dozen times, he was so painful. I almost lost my mind.
The man in black fought for a while, then stopped, turned around and left, as if he was too lazy to take another look. Before leaving, he warned: "This time is a lesson to improve your memory."
"What the hell, pitiful, pathetic." The man in black said this not only to Xiao Yi, but also to everyone present.
Everyone around looked at Xiao Yi with sympathetic eyes. Due to the murderous aura of the masked man in black, no one dared to help Xiao Yi.
However, unexpectedly, Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and stood up again. Although he was shaky and his body was shaking, he was puffing up his chest little by little, and the fighting spirit in his eyes did not weaken at all.
Now the masked man in black showed a little interest: "I can't tell, you are still a tough guy."
The killing power of the soul whip was too strong, and Xiao Yi was seriously injured. He soon couldn't hold on anymore and fell to the ground.
Some people were anxious for Xiao Yi and secretly scolded him for being an idiot. Didn't he hide away just now while he was lying on the ground pretending to be dead?
The masked man in black looked at Xiao Yi's eyes, which showed that although he was weak but still unwilling to give in, he couldn't help but admired: "Okay, your fighting spirit is commendable, but it's a pity that ants can never control their own destiny. No matter how stubborn you are, you can't change it. Your end."
Everyone heard that the masked man in black compared themselves to ants. Although they were not angry, they dared not speak out.
At this time, the masked man in black glanced around coldly and said sternly: "Listen carefully, your life is in my hands. If you want to die, I will help you now. If you want to live, you must be as obedient as a dog." .”
Everyone lowered their heads in fear, not daring to make eye contact with the masked man in black.
"Boy, you have strong bones, right? That's good!" After the man in black finished speaking, he glanced at the people around him coldly, and then gave a stern order: "This kid just wanted to call on you to unite to resist, then you guys put this kid to the ground Fight to death."
"What?" Everyone panicked and looked at the seriously injured Xiao Yi. Everyone couldn't bear it and hesitated for a moment.
Now the masked man in black was dissatisfied: "Are you going to disobey my order? Although the soul-locking chain has locked your souls, making you unable to break free. But if you give me some strength, I believe you still have it."
Everyone felt the murderous intent released by the masked man in black, and suddenly became frightened. Five of them quickly expressed their loyalty and rushed over to punch and kick Xiao Yi one by one.
Xiao Yi was injured more and more and almost fainted.
The people Xiao Yi originally wanted to unite with, ended up beating Xiao Yi in turn. The man in the black mask was murderous and heart-wrenching, just to destroy Xiao Yi's will.
This is the cruelty of the weak eating the strong, and the weak are trampled on at will like grass.
Seeing that the beating was almost done, the masked man in black signaled to stop and expressed satisfaction to those who took action.
So the masked man in black threw five soul stones as a reward. This thing can strengthen the soul power and prevent the soul from falling apart in a short time.
However, the man in black didn't hand it over or divide one piece among each person. Instead, he threw it on the ground very unkindly.
When those who took action saw the soul stone, they immediately rushed over and snatched it away.
"Wait a minute, this is mine!" Those few people were a step too slow to grab the soul stone, and then went to grab the soul stone from others.
One person snatched two soul stones and tried to hide them secretly, but was discovered and was besieged by others.
The scene was chaotic for a while. The people who had just beaten Xiao Yi were now beating each other, wrestling on the ground, scratching and biting, just for a glimmer of hope to survive.
The man in black wanted to see such a scene, sneered, and then left.
Uncle Beard saw those people still trying to grab the Soul Stone, and some of them even became red-eyed like mad dogs. Uncle Beard felt sad in his heart.
Xiao Yi was still lying on the ground, seriously injured and very weak.
No one dared to get close to Xiao Yi for fear of being dragged down by Xiao Yi.
After waiting for a long time, Xiao Yi felt better and slowly climbed up. His eyes were full of frustration. Compared with the pain, his dignity was trampled on, which made it even more difficult for him to accept.
At this time, Xiao Yi noticed everyone's panic and finally understood why these people became like that and why they were so desperate.
However, Xiao Yi was still unwilling to give up. He felt that if everyone had come together and snatched the soul whip from the masked man in black, they might really have a chance to fight back.
"Are you annoyed or not? What are you going to do to stop it?" Many people looked at Xiao Yi with resentful eyes, fearing that Xiao Yi would do something stupid.
Because the masked man in black said that he would not be so lucky next time. If one person rebels, everyone will be guilty.
When the time comes, don't blame the man in black mask for being ruthless, but blame the newcomer for not knowing the rules.
Xiao Yi sat leaning against a wall. He was clearly out of breath and extremely weak, but he still tried to squeeze out a few words: "Don't be stupid. Do you think that by being obedient, you can change anything? Living to survive is worse than death. .”
Upon hearing this, several of them went crazy and wanted to come over and beat Xiao Yi, but they were stopped by Uncle Beard. They were all from the same world, and everyone was a victim. In this situation, there was no need to hurt each other.
"Get out of the way, let us wake up this kid so that he can recognize the reality and let him accept it." Several people shouted, as if they were eager to draw a clear line with Xiao Yi immediately.
Seeing that these people were going to shout and kill him, Xiao Yi's heart went cold. He smiled bitterly and said: "Those bastards not only took away our bodies, imprisoned our souls, and deprived us of our memories, they dominated He has threatened our life and death, and now he wants to stir up conflicts among us, are we really just going to let them be played like this?"
After hearing this, the few people who were shouting to beat Xiao Yi immediately fell silent, lowered their raised fists, and stood motionless. The atmosphere gradually became depressed.
Everyone looked at each other, seeing their pitiful appearance in the eyes of others, and suddenly felt the urge to cry.
With Uncle Beard's efforts to comfort him, the others finally let Xiao Yi go.
Then the bearded uncle patted Xiao Yi on the shoulder and told Xiao Yi not to take it seriously. After all, newcomers will make mistakes more or less.
Hearing the words of comfort, Xiao Yi felt even more uncomfortable. He didn't mention anything about unity or overcoming difficulties together.
However, Xiao Yi was still unwilling to give in. He was still thinking about how to leave here, and he was still thinking about going home, because there were still too many concerns and too many beautiful things in the original world.
Xiao Yi was worried when he thought that that bastard had replaced his identity and lived with the people he valued, and might even do things that hurt others.
"I want to go home. For the sake of my love and the people who love me, I must go back. I want revenge, and I will never make it easier for the people who harmed me." Xiao Yi's eyes were full of hatred, and he also had a desire to go home. Obsession.
Uncle Beard shook his head. He admired Xiao Yi's spirit, but he still reminded Xiao Yi friendly that there are two bad situations they have to face now. The first is that they are firmly locked by the soul-locking chain and cannot live without it. here.
The second is that as time goes by, they will only remember what happened after the time travel, and the previous memories will continue to disappear. By then, they will not remember many things. How could they have the fighting spirit to return home for the love in their hearts?
Xiao Yi thought for a while, then looked at the bearded uncle seriously, and said firmly: "We will slowly lose the memories of the past, but the things we remember now may not disappear. Then I will tell you my experience, You tell me your experience. We remember each other's things. No matter what, we must remember the person who tricked us into traveling through time. Even if it's impossible, we have to give it a try. I will never forget the pair of people who harmed me. Dog men and women.”
This method is good. Why didn't I think of it before? Everyone cheered up and suddenly felt that Xiao Yi's arrival did bring some changes.
Uncle Beard also agreed with this method, and then he looked at Xiao Yi's eyes full of fighting spirit. Uncle Beard seemed to see that he had been so unwilling to accept his fate, as if he saw a ray of light in the darkness.
Unknowingly, the bearded uncle was infected by Xiao Yi's fighting spirit. He nodded and began to listen to Xiao Yi's story attentively.
