Chapter 645: Punishment
"If we keep going like this, I'm afraid we won't have enough steps to reach the Yellow Springs Throne. If we go back, the number of steps will also be reduced." Liuyun said.
Zhou Wen shook his head and said, "Even if we walked from the first torture chamber, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to reach the Yellow Springs Throne."
"Why? Are the steps still not enough?" Liuyun asked in confusion.
"I don't know if the number of steps is enough. I only know that in just one day, I had to endure 239 kinds of punishment. One punishment alone is really nothing to our body, but can we bear the accumulation of 239 kinds of punishment? Anyway, I can't bear it. Among the people I know, I'm afraid there is only one person who can walk this street and survive all the punishments. Unfortunately, he is not here." Zhou Wen said.
"Although it is indeed difficult, we have to give it a try anyway. We can't just sit and wait for death, right?" Liuyun said.
"Then you can try it first later." Zhou Wen said, pointing to the shop next to him.
"I'll try." Liuyun also knew that at this point, he had to try every possible way, otherwise there would be no way to survive.
"Should we go back first?" Liu Yun said, looking at the way he came. However, he quickly decided against it: "Let's try going into the torture chamber next door first."
There was still some time before the next hour bell rang, and the two could only stand there and wait.
Zhou Wen took out his phone and looked at it. The download was still not complete. This game was obviously quite large.
Zhou Wen took the opportunity to practice the avoidance of the gods. He would summon the Jade Infant for a few breaths each time, and when he was about to explode, he would switch him back. After practicing this repeatedly, the Jade Infant's body became more and more transparent, and later, it became as clear as crystal.
Zhou Wen vaguely felt that Yuying was about to break through.
"I wonder what the soul of a perfect body would be like?" Zhou Wen placed all his hopes on Yuying. The gods' avoidance was not enough to fight against the forbidden power here. If they could be promoted to a perfect body, perhaps they still had hope of survival.
As for being tortured in the torture chamber, Zhou Wen did not hold out much hope. His physique was already very strong, but he might not be able to withstand so much punishment in such a short time. Unless Li Xuan was here, Zhou Wen did not want to try it at all.
An hour passed quickly. When Yuying was resting, Zhou Wen chatted with Chu He and consciously asked about some of Chu He's past.
Chu He was trapped here and was already afraid. Chatting with people was also a way to relieve psychological pressure, so he talked a lot.
Chu He remembered the past events very clearly. He didn't seem to have any problems and didn't have any amnesia.
Ding! Ding! Ding...
The bell rang again, this time it rang eight times. After the bell stopped, the doors of the torture chambers on both sides of the long street that were originally closed were opened.
Zhou Wen looked at the torture room nearby, and saw a strange torture device inside, which looked like a wooden horse. On the back of the wooden horse, there was a long sharp spike, just like a unicorn's horn, but it grew on the back instead of the head.
Next to the torture device, there was a sign that read "Twenty Steps of Trojan Horse Punishment".
"Big Brother, you can gain twenty steps by being tortured once here. The reward is very high. Do you want to try it?" Zhou Wen said to Liuyun on the side.
Liuyun took one look at the torture device, his face turned green, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Fuck you, why not try this? Thousands of cuts, one step for each piece of flesh scraped. The more pieces you scrape, the more steps you can get. This is a punishment that can be repeated, maybe there's a chance to get more steps."
"Can you bear it?" Zhou Wen looked at the torture chamber, where there was an iron shackle hanging on the beam, and a dagger-sized knife was placed next to it.
You can probably understand it at a glance. They are going to handcuff your hands and hang you up, and then use a knife to scrape your flesh.
"As a man, there is nothing you can't endure to survive. Let me do it." Liuyun knew that if he wanted to survive now, he had to fight.
Without much hesitation, Liu Yun followed Chu He's instructions and shouted towards the torture chamber, "I want to be tortured with a thousand cuts."
As soon as the voice fell, the body disappeared beside Zhou Wen, as if it had teleported. Zhou Wen looked over and saw that his hands were already handcuffed and hanging in the air of the torture chamber.
The knife was picked up by a white ghost-like creature and slashed at Liuyun's thigh.
The small knife was like sawing meat, cutting back and forth bit by bit, and sliced a piece of meat from Liuyun's thigh.
You know what, the White Ghost's knife skills are really top-notch. The meat he slices is as thin as a cicada's wing, almost transparent, comparable to that of a top chef.
Zhou Wen probably understood why the knife cut the meat so thinly. It was not because they were afraid of killing the person, but because if the cut was too thick, it would not be possible to cut into thousands of pieces, so it naturally could not be considered as a thousand cuts.
Even with just one cut like this, Liuyun's face turned pale with pain. The wound was not a big deal, as not much flesh was cut off, but it was really painful.
Liuyun gritted his teeth and said nothing. He continued cutting with the knife, slowly cutting off another piece of meat.
When Zhou Wen looked at Liuyun again, his forehead was covered in cold sweat.
Chu He was also terrified watching from the side. Such a bloody and cruel punishment made people feel creepy just by looking at it.
The knife cut into the flesh again and again, but Liuyun didn't even grunt. He was truly a model of a true man of iron and blood. Even Zhou Wen had to admire him. Liuyun was truly a tough guy.
What surprised Zhou Wen was that Liuyun's wound did not bleed much. Every time the knife cut off a piece of flesh, the wound would shrink automatically without heavy bleeding.
"Senior Brother, I didn't realize you had practiced such a powerful self-healing technique." Zhou Wen exclaimed.
"Self-healing bullshit, it's the power in this torture chamber that's stopping me from bleeding. It's afraid that I'll die before I'm cut into pieces." Liuyun cursed.
He was not really such a violent person, he just wanted to vent his pain by cursing.
After twenty-three shavings in a row, Tiexue Ru Liuyun finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly: "I give up the torture."
With a clang, the iron handcuffs opened by themselves and Liuyun's body fell down. However, when he fell, he had returned to the stone slab where he was originally.
Sure enough, the number on his slate increased by twenty-three.
"You see, this is very simple. Twenty-three have been added at once. If we try a few more torture chambers, we will have no problem reaching the Yellow Springs Throne." Liuyun said with a pale face.
Not to mention Zhou Wen, even Chu He could see that this was just Liuyun comforting himself.
