"The inhibitor continuously releases electrical signals and chemicals, suppressing the abilities that originally belonged to you."

"Huh?"

Luke seemed to suddenly realize something and subconsciously raised the wound on the right side of his body. After realizing that he only had one arm left, he turned and began to awkwardly touch the back of his neck with his left hand.

Sure enough, he felt a small bulge near the back of his head that was different from a bone.

"Why haven't I noticed this before?"

He couldn't help but have this question and asked it subconsciously.

“Because a small amount of anesthetic is released along with the electrical signals and inhibitors, it can shield your body from the discomfort it feels and make you subconsciously ignore the abnormality in this area.

"After a long time, even if the anesthetic is no longer released, you have become accustomed to the feeling."

At this point, Luke no longer had any doubts, and the only thing left in his heart was a deep and difficult-to-resolve frustration.

Since his father's death, he has become a puppet.

His efforts, his ambitions, his ideals and goals were all a joke.

The funniest thing is that it is the party his father is loyal to who is deceiving himself, and it is the enemy he is pursuing who is revealing the truth to him.

He sat in the chair for a long time without saying a word.

After a moment, it was Lin Qingliu behind him who spoke again.

Unfortunately, the target was not Luke but El and Li Rui.

"There is an iron cage in warehouse No. 2. Put him in it."

"I understand, but how long will it be closed?"

El looked at Luke, who was severely injured both physically and mentally, and still felt a little sympathy for him.

Or maybe it's not sympathy, but he just used the other person for a while and wanted to repay the favor, just like when he saved Zhuang Mian who was attacked on a rainy night. Although the other person only helped him unconsciously, he always had a simple idea of repaying the favor.

“How do I know how long?”

Lin Qingliu spread his hands:

“I haven’t figured out how to deal with him yet. Give him three days of nutritional cream and keep him alive first.

"It will be useful later for fishing for the council or doing something else."

Luke listened in a daze as two men pulled him up from both sides and took him towards the warehouse.

Walking into warehouse No. 2, a corner of the room had been cleared out in advance. The corner of the wall and two sets of iron railings formed a space that was only big enough for one person to lie down.

"Go in!"

The two men threw Luke in and then quickly locked the door.

After placing three tubes of nutrient paste in the cage, no, near the cell, the two men closed the warehouse door and left.

The lights outside faded and darkness enveloped Luke.

Outside the warehouse, the three people, led by El, once again walked into the secret passage.

Lin Qingliu walked in the front carrying the nutrient tank containing Luke's arm, El was in the middle, and Li Rui, as Lin Qingliu's vassal, walked at the end and did not dare to speak.

Instead, the boy started chatting with the doctor at the front:

"Doctor, why is there a cell inside the warehouse?"

Lin Qingliu turned his head with some doubts:

"You really didn't expect that?"

The boy shook his head.

"That was what Guan Wangxiao used at the time."

"…Just pretend I didn't ask."

"But is it really okay to keep him in that place?"

"Don't worry, he is very confused right now, and he needs a place without sound and light to face his inner self."

"But his injury..."

"Then there's even less need to worry."

Lin Qingliu smiled:

"Without strenuous exercise and with adequate nutrition, one can recover quickly. Aren't you an example of this?"

The three of them walked to the place that El had marked in advance. He led Li Rui into the wall, while Lin Qingliu continued forward alone and finally appeared in the basement of his new home.

A large empty room now appeared in this place that was originally filled with rocks and soil.

This is the underground base that Lin Qingliu opened up using his own combination of abilities.

Although it looks a bit simple, there is actually nothing in it.

But it doesn't matter, because soon a batch of guns, a batch of medicines and a small multi-functional machine tool will be delivered here.

Although the electricity connection problem has not been solved yet, Lin Qingliu believes that if he steals a little bit based on his experience, the generous Hope City will not mind.

Carrying the nutrient tank back to the innermost clinic on the first floor, Lin Qingliu took the arm out of the nutrient solution.

He skillfully activated the special vision brought by the [Natural History] pathway, combined his [Space] abilities, and removed a metallic ring that was bound to his ulna and was constantly flashing green light.

He carefully examined this technological-looking object and frowned slightly.

Hope City's technological level seems to be a bit high...

Is this really the river?

It’s hard to say about Lin Qingliu.

He carefully put the thing back into the arm to prevent it from detecting the disappearance of the surrounding vitality and destroying itself.

Then Lin Qingliu placed the jar at the innermost part of the clinic, thinking that professional matters should be done by professionals.

After opening the door, Lin Qingliu saw Fran returning from the jungle in response to his call.

The kitten has been offline. No, after playing in the wild for a while, it can now turn into more than a hundred kinds of common household garbage.

I don’t know if this is something worth bragging about, but it’s still progress.

Lin Qingliu looked at the calico kitten in front of him and sniffed it gently:

"Did you take a shower?"

"Well, how can Fran not take a bath when she comes to visit the great master?"

Lin Qingliu didn't feel anything about the kitten's flattery. After all, he was the one who brought up the cat.

And there is a part of Lin Qingliu's blood that has fallen into a dormant state in Fran's body, so when Lin Qingliu calls, Fran's ears will immediately hear Lin Qingliu's voice.

Isn't this also a kind of summoned beast?

"May I ask what new tasks the master has for Fran?"

"Simple, just monitoring a prisoner. You are familiar with this."

"Don't worry, Fran will definitely complete the task~"

Meanwhile, in a small cell that no one could find.

Luke was trying to calm down the emotions in his heart.

The guilt towards his father, the disappointment in himself and the anger at others' willful manipulation of him took turns to wash away his mind, making it impossible for him to calm down.

I've only been locked up here for a few hours, but it feels like years have passed.

He didn't know how many times he had tried to shake the metal bar of the cage beside him, but since he only had one hand left, he had no strength at all.

Just the second after his shoulder hit the cage, a slight sound of landing was heard.

Something got knocked off?

Luke stuck half of his hand out of the cage and groped in the darkness.
