Dr. Moreau was previously the head of the scientific research department under Misha, but since the appearance of the clone Norton and his rapid rise to power, his power has been increasingly lost. So what Dr. Moreau thinks about day and night is "let that damn monster roll back to hell", so he has also made several useful scientific research results and regained Misha's trust.
Dr. Moreau's main research direction is still on gene complementation mutations like the rat-man, so he must collect a large amount of experimental materials to conduct experiments, and it is best to use living subjects.
Therefore, a considerable area in Dr. Moreau's laboratory was used to imprison and feed these experimental materials. Under such needs, the Isabella simply merged the ship's confinement room with Dr. Moreau's confinement room. It was called the punishment storage area to the outside world, but the staff on the ship called it the Black Prison.
This black prison is divided into three floors and eight areas. The first two floors are used for breeding and imprisoning creatures that do not pose a threat, while the third floor is heavily guarded and is used to imprison extremely dangerous and extremely lethal enemies or creatures.
The deepest part of the third floor is Area 8, also known as Black Area 8, where the most dangerous and important criminals are imprisoned! The area of this area is only about 100 square meters. During its construction, nearly 2,000 tons of alloy were consumed to cast this area into a giant hollow cube.
The central area of this cube, which is more than 100 square meters, is the divided prison cell, and the surrounding walls are made of solid alloy that is two or three meters thick, making it almost impossible to escape from the walls.
Even if the prisoners inside escape from the cell, they need to leave through the only passage, and this passage is guarded by two major checkpoints. The first checkpoint is called the Iron Forest, which is six rows of fences made of alloy steel. Each fence is as thick as an arm and can withstand the frontal attack of an awakened strongman. There is high-voltage current between the railings, and there are twenty jailers armed to the teeth closely supervising.
The most crucial thing is the second level! This level is called the Wall of Sighs, also known as the Nightmare of Hell. It was built after the clone Norton proposed the concept. After it was built, anyone who saw it with their own eyes would shake their heads and sigh, thinking that if they were prisoners, they would not be able to pass this level and could only shake their heads and sigh in vain.
Iron Fang passed through the Wall of Sighs, then ordered the jailer to open the door, asked him to open the six rows of alloy steel fences, and then walked in. At this time, a jailer seemed to want to follow him, but just after he followed Iron Fang for a few steps, he was grabbed by the neck by Iron Fang, lifted up, and then tore off one of his arms, and threw him far away. He hit the wall next to him with a bleeding head, screamed and rolled, and was unable to stand up for a long time.
Iron Fang looked around at this time and said coldly:
"If anyone else wants to treat me like a thief, feel free to come forward and try again."
Faced with such brutal and cruel behavior, the other jailers did not dare to look at them and could only look down at the ground in silence.
Iron Fang continued to snort coldly, walked slowly forward, and came to a prison cell.
His gaze rested on the prisoner in the cell.
The prisoner was none other than Du Yuqi.
After seeing Du Yuqi, Iron Fang took out a small round ball from his arms, pressed it, and a faint light curtain formed around his body. This thing was a combination of magic and alchemy. When pressed, it could cause limited interference to the surroundings and cause some errors in possible monitoring methods.
After making preparations, Iron Fang spoke:
"Huh? You seem to be in much better condition than I thought."
All of Du Yuqi's equipment had been searched away. He was now wearing a loose blue and white prison uniform. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, seemingly deep in thought about something. He only raised his head when he heard Iron Fang speak.
"Oh, then what do you think I should be like? Crying and screaming, banging my head on the ground?"
After saying this, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed across Du Yuqi's eyes:
"On the contrary, you, for some reason, always give me a sense of déjà vu, and I think you seem to be paying attention to me, so... who are you?"
Iron Fang was silent for a few seconds, and then said in a calm tone:
"According to your personality, since you asked this question, you must have the answer in your heart. For you who have the answer, is it really important who I am?"
Although Iron Fang said this, he still raised his hands and slowly took off his iron mask, revealing a face that Du Yuqi was very familiar with.
The gazes between the two men were like swords and guns. Although there was a thick steel fence between them, the collision still produced a large number of sparks.
Du Yuqi looked at this face and couldn't help but lose control of his emotions. He could still remain calm on the surface, but his tightly clenched fists began to tremble violently. He took a deep breath and couldn't help but look up to the sky to calm himself down. After a while, he said:
"If it's really you...Brother Yu, why! And who are you?!"
Zhao Qiuyu said calmly:
"Zhao Qiuyu is dead. I am not Zhao Qiuyu."
Du Yuqi sneered and said:
"You are not Zhao Qiuyu, how could you know so much about what happened between us?"
Zhao Qiuyu said calmly:
"I got this body back, so I naturally accepted his memories from his previous life."
Du Yuqi stared at Zhao Qiuyu, with a trace of deep sadness in his eyes:
"Who are you, then?"
Zhao Qiuyu said coldly:
"My name is Taimat, the Spreader of Despair, the Dark Knight Taimat! I died in the Black Earth War hundreds of years ago, and my body was completely destroyed. But I, who possess the power of Ozma, will not truly die. I will only enter a dormant state, waiting for the opportunity to be resurrected. However, a weak and naive personality that I suppressed deep in my sea of consciousness emerged. He would have been killed instantly, but this personality was noticed by Ozma and was sent to carry out the Seed Plan."
"Seed plan?" Du Yuqi was extremely shocked, but he still caught this key word and couldn't help but blurt it out.
Zhao Qiuyu sneered, but did not respond:
"This weak and naive personality was sent to Earth as a seed, and then grew up little by little. Because he originated from me, he was able to see the mutated Terra Stone with you at that time, and then was sent back to Arad."
"Because my power cannot reach the earth, this idiot had a chance to escape my control, but he died foolishly for some insignificant feelings. But it doesn't matter. His mission has been completed. Just like no one cares where a piece of used toilet paper is thrown away, no one cares about his death. The only use of him to me is this body that can allow me to return to the world."
Du Yuqi didn't have any special expression on his face, but his fists were clenched tightly. It was obvious that he was trying hard to control himself. Then he said word by word:
"But I saw with my own eyes that Zhao Qiuyu was killed by a kunai piercing his forehead!"
Zhao Qiuyu sneered:
"Such an injury would be a terrible and fatal injury to others, but for me who possesses a trace of Ozma's power, it is not a big problem. Do you know Ozma's nickname?"
Du Yuqi certainly knew Ozma's nickname - the Resurrectionist! In that case, Zhao Qiuyu's injury from being pierced in the head by a kunai was really not a big deal. Although he looked very angry, he also keenly noticed one thing, that is, Zhao Qiuyu/Iron Fang/Tymat did not even have any respect for the Apostle Ozma in his words.
Du Yuqi was silent for a while and said:
"Tell me, you are not someone who likes to do useless things. What exactly do you want to talk to me about? Or to be more direct, what information do you hope to get from me?"
Zhao Qiuyu smiled and said:
"You are really confident. Yes, if I needed something from you, I would have taken it myself when I led the team to capture you. What I want to obtain is indeed very important news, and only you can tell me this news."
