Chapter 67 Gear Copper Nail



【My mind instantly ran away from home.】

【Come in with your mouth open, kneel down with your mouth open.】

[Too, too strong, is this the world of the bosses? ]

[I said that he is the player who has made the fastest progress in this game. No one should disagree, right? ]

[I finally understand why among all the people who have entered the Divine Domain over the past decade, only he can continuously break records. What kind of player is this with weird logic?]

[I finally figured out the logic of coming to the botanical garden, but now I am confused again. What exactly are these space gears and meshing gears? What form do they take?]

[Sister, listen to me. Now take the two pieces of paper money closest to you and spread them flat on the table. Stick the edges together. Insert a pen or toothpick into the hole in the middle to fix it. If you turn one, will the other move with it? Now the circular closed space where the player is is stuck to the edge of one of the paper money. More than two hundred pieces are stuck in a circle. The other empty paper money is the meshing gear. It turns, sucking the passing players up, continues to turn, returns to the starting point, and spits out the players. Isn't this a space conversion? ]

[I seem to understand but I also seem not to understand... What about the different directions? Why do you have to enter the center of the circle from south to north to leave? Why will you die if you enter in the opposite direction? ]

[When you turn the empty ghost coin, whichever direction you apply force, will the ghost coin revolve in the direction you apply force? Will it rotate in the opposite direction? ]

【Oh shit, I suddenly got enlightened! 】

[The world view of this game is roughly like this model. The space gear can only rotate from south to north. If you move in the direction you want, you will enter the next space. If you move in the opposite direction, it is wrong and you will be torn apart by space. It is that simple.]

【Looking at the expressions of the other two players, I was sure that the abnormal one was not me. 】

[Ji Congyang's expression probably means he has given up on understanding, hahahaha. ]

[Qiao Yan is a bit better. As long as he has a strong imagination of space, it is easy to figure it out. ]

[However, the inference is not 100% certain before verification. We must let a person enter the center of the circle to see whether it successfully leaves or is torn apart in the end to know whether it is true or false. If an accident happens, it would be unfair for the person who went in to verify to die first. ]

[This is really a difficult question. I just don’t know who they will let in as the guinea pigs. ]

[Ji Congyang? He should be the weakest among the three. ]

[He and Qiao Yan have known each other for so many years and have been friends for so long. Unless it is a dead end, one of them will not push the other out, okay? ]

[But if Shi Yu were to experiment on herself and something goes wrong, wouldn’t that be more than she gains… Damn it!!]

The surrounding scene disappears and reappears.

The machines were running, and the roar of modern large-scale equipment hit people's ears like thunder, shaking the glass, the table, and the thin and dry air.

The selected grass leaves are crushed by a machine, soaked to extract liquid, filtered and separated, and the sticky residue flows into the dehydrator along the channel.

The technician in full work clothes checked the machine values one by one. When he walked to the wall near the window, his vision suddenly blurred and there was a person in front of him.

He was stunned for a moment, then took two steps forward and asked, "How did you get in?"

This is the workshop of Baohua Pharmaceutical Factory.

The pharmaceutical factory must always maintain an absolutely clean environment, even if it is only the initial processing of raw materials, and has not yet reached the disinfection and sterilization process, and the strict requirements are not as strict as those in the subsequent places that require complete sterility, but people who come here on weekdays must also wear a full set of work clothes. It is impossible to let people in in casual clothes.

Leaders inspecting? That doesn't seem likely, and he didn't receive any notice.

So where did this person come from?

The technician who had just started working was in a state of confusion and he instantly imagined seven or eight possibilities, including but not limited to the children of factory executives getting into trouble, spies sent by a rival factory, and antisocial personalities intent on causing trouble.

He couldn't figure it out, so he said sternly: "I asked you where you came in from?!"

The mashed medicine juice was scalded by the high temperature, leaking out wisps of white water vapor.

Shi Yu leaned against the wall. Even the mask he wore could not block out the smell of the medicine in the air. The humming sound of the machine pierced into his mind like needles, and there seemed to be faint human voices.

He couldn't hear clearly, nor could he distinguish anything. His sight was unfocused on a spot on the ground, but the scenery in front of him seemed to be filtered with noise. He tried to chase it, but the distance kept getting farther and farther.

And then disappeared completely.

The technician touched him: "Hey..."

Shi Yu's body lost its support and he fell down exhausted.

The technician subconsciously raised his hand and was stunned for half a second: "You, don't mess with me, I will really leave this here and ignore it!"

He didn't react and fell into his arms. A lock of hair fell on his cheek, hanging down in curls. His skin was abnormally pale, and only his fingers were slightly curled up as if he was unconsciously grasping something.

But soon, those unconscious movements disappeared, and my consciousness sank into a bottomless quagmire. I couldn't struggle out, and my body slid down weakly.

The technician picked him up when he fell to the ground. But he was not a professional and did not know what to do at this time, so he could only send him to the infirmary.

Fortunately, they are engaged in pharmaceutical production here.

Not long after the two men left, two more people appeared in the inner room.

"What the hell is this place? Why does the air smell so bitter? Look, we're not dead!"

This is Ji Congyang's voice.

"Pharmaceutical factory."

This is Qiao Yan's voice.

"Speaking of which, where is my idol? Didn't he come here a few minutes earlier than us? How come he disappeared all of a sudden? Didn't they say that the exits of the space are all at the same point... Wait, what are you talking about?" Ji Congyang was shocked. "Pharmaceutical factory?"

It’s nothing for them, but if Shi Yu was sent here, wouldn’t it be the end of his life?

"35.6°C, the body temperature is low and the heart rate is also low."

The technician was at a loss: "Why is this happening?"

"I should ask you this question." The doctor put the thermometer back into his chest pocket. "Didn't you bring him here? What happened to him before? Why did he suddenly faint?"

Technician: “How should I know that?”

"Has he ever been in a similar situation before?"

"How should I know?"

“What about hidden medical history?”

"have no idea."

The doctor looked at him as if he was a scumbag, "If you hadn't done something, how could you happen to be next to him and send him here? You don't know anything, but you still want to say that he fell into the factory from the sky?"

Technician: “…”

In his opinion, the other party seemed to have fallen from the sky!

The technician was so wronged that he was deformed. Before he could organize his words to refute, the doctor waved his hand and said, "I can't tell what's wrong with him for now. I can only say that his current condition is very dangerous but not that dangerous because his condition is indeed improving. We can only observe it first. If you are worried, you can call an ambulance just in case."

The technician said angrily: "It will be fine after it is restored."

The doctor didn't force it, turned around and left the lounge, leaving the space for them.

The technician wanted to leave, after all, he still had work to do, and it was not a big deal for such a sudden disaster to happen at his post. When he stood up, he looked down at the other person and felt that the unconscious person was wearing a mask, which really affected his breathing, so he took it off out of humanitarianism.

He was so angry that he couldn't hold it back. He didn't care whether the other party could hear him or not, and he complained in a low voice: "Don't think you're fine now. I'll settle with you when you wake up..."

Before she could finish the words "suddenly appeared in the factory", the hand that fell on the other person's ear due to taking off the mask brought out the ironing temperature of the healthy person's blood.

The other party seemed to have suddenly touched something burning. Even though he was unconscious, he instinctively moved to the side, and his breathing suddenly became disordered.

His body was shaking all the time, and a single word whimpered out very lightly between his lips and teeth.

"What?"

The technician didn't hear clearly for a moment, so he leaned over and asked: "What did you just say?"

"Does it hurt?"

“…”

"Does it hurt?"

“…”

The voice suddenly became heavier, with a hint of madness: "I'm asking you a question!!"

After a long period of no response, the voice laughed: "It doesn't hurt, right? Looks like we can continue."

A hand fell on his face. Because of the darkness, he could only rely on his sense of touch to stroke his cheek, and finally stopped on his eyelids. The force of his fingertips gradually deepened: "I'll be gentler this time."

He really doesn't feel any pain.

Perhaps he had been cold for too long; most of his senses had almost disappeared, leaving only the cold that cut into his blood and bones, and the sudden heat did not make him feel the slightest bit of warmth.

He wanted to move away, but unfortunately he had no strength to do so; he wanted to speak, but when he tried to open his mouth his throat became hoarse and he lost his voice completely.

In the darkness, I could hear people whispering in my ears. They seemed to be saying something, and the voices were deep as if painted with messy colors.

The hand on my face came up and then withdrew, the voice in my ear sounded and then gradually disappeared, only the bitter taste in my breath remained forever, my whole body was protesting instinctively, and my throat was filled with nausea.

I don't know how many different methods of mixing were used to make it so that no matter how long he stayed in there, he would not be able to achieve the state of being in a room of orchids without noticing its fragrance.

The shoulder blade was torn apart by something and pressed hard into something.

The other party had said that they had prepared 199 copper nails for him, and this was the 173rd.

When all the copper nails are used up, he will die.

When he regained consciousness, his vision was still dark, but he knew he was no longer in the same place. He didn't know who had moved him here.

He still had no strength to move, and no matter where he looked in the darkness he saw the same scene, so he simply closed his eyes and went to sleep.

...until I was woken up by something.

"Meow."

The voices of newly born kittens are all soft, with a natural coquettish tone. The soft body of the little animal curled up on his drooping wrist, and when it sensed the movement, it cried again.

He was confused for a moment as to why a cat would sneak into the dungeon. Could it be that the guards of the temple were so bad? He didn't intend to pay attention to it and closed his eyes again.

But the cat kept meowing, from the initial tentativeness, to the later arrogance of being quiet, and then to the listlessness, the tune changed like eighteen bends in the mountain road.

He listened to a few sentences and summarized them into one theme:

——It is hungry and comes here to look for food. It wants to eat.

But where can we get food in this dungeon, especially cat food?

Finally, the cat was probably too hungry to have any strength left and finally quieted down. After a long while, when the air was in dead silence for a while, it suddenly called out again: "Meow."

“…”

He was silent for a few seconds: "Why aren't you dead yet?"

"!"

Cat: “Meow?”

Aren't you dumb?

Cat: "Meow!"

Why don't you talk to me? If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you didn't hear me. But you kept yelling and yelling. Now I'm starving!

Cat: "Meow meow meow!!"

It’s all your fault!

“…”

Probably because it hadn't heard him respond for a while, its tail wagged: "Meow?"

Why does this house smell like medicine? If the smell wasn't so strong, I wouldn't have chased in when I couldn't find the way out, and now I wouldn't be stuck. Did you just come out of the medicine pool?

It moved closer, its paw pads hitting the bronze chain on the ground, causing the metal to rattle and pierce through the other end of the human body, pulling out flesh and blood.

But it didn't see it because it was too dark. The slight tearing sound made it instinctively uneasy, so it called out again: "Meow?"

What’s wrong with you?

"What's wrong?"

The technician tried to ask for a long time, but he still couldn't hear clearly what the other party said.

A thin layer of sweat oozed from the other person's forehead, and his long eyelashes became wet and trembled, until a tear suddenly fell.

He was stunned, and suddenly he couldn't say the words "I'll settle the matter with you for trespassing into the factory when I come back".
