After dawn, the scar-faced jailer opened the door with a ferocious look. "Eat, you son of a bitch!"
Luo Kai suppressed the hatred in his heart, walked forward and silently swallowed the food. Today's food was two pieces of moldy bread and a bowl of porridge. Although it was not good, it was much better than before.
The scar-faced jailer stood at the door, his expression changing rapidly. He pulled out the pistol from his waist and then put it down, wondering if he should kill Luo Kai directly and then frame him for attacking the jailer.
Before these prisoners were sent to prison, he had received a hint from the old warden to find a way to kill them indirectly. However, the new warden had said that he would spare these prisoners. He could not starve them to death by ordinary means. If he killed them directly, the new warden would be angry. Therefore, after hesitating for a long time, he gave up the idea and turned to leave.
Luo Kai did not know that he had just walked around the edge of death. After eating, he went back to the corner and curled up. Today, he did not feel sleepy at all. He was already dead, but somehow, he had become someone in the future. The key was that except for the language, the memory of this body was very vague. What was the ferocious beast that was not afraid of guns and cannons? Also, why did the Sea Race and the Titan Race sound like myths … In the history books, it was said that human beings had lost an important energy source before the Catastrophe, which led to a fault in civilization. What was the missing energy source?
His mind was full of questions, so he could not sleep. He could only hope that he could find Shui Sou to answer his questions when it was dark. Then he thought about who Shui Sou was. He did not look like a prisoner, but he was willing to be imprisoned underground …
When the sky was completely dark, Luo Kai came to the underground space again. The old man named Shui Sou was sitting in front of the desk, reading a thick book under the dim candlelight.
Luo Kai was thinking about what to say, but Shui Sou was not in the mood to answer any of his questions. He raised his head and said directly, "My time is limited. I only have three days to teach you the physical skills. Under normal circumstances, practicing the" Soft Body Forging Technique "must be accompanied by a kind of pine bone fish oil from the deep sea. This kind of fish oil can greatly increase the flexibility of bones and muscles, and make practicing twice the result with half the effort. However, you have a good physique, so you can practice even without pine bone fish oil. You just have to suffer more physical pain. Your body is stiff now, so I have to loosen your bones first."
Shui Sou stood up, reached out his skinny arms, and grabbed Luo Kai's arms directly.
"Ah!"
Along with Luo Kai's scream, a series of cracking sounds came from his hand and arm bones. Shui Sou's withered fingers were like a pair of pliers. The power penetrated his muscles and reached his bone marrow. The pain almost made him faint.
Luo Kai's blood-curdling screams continued as he fell limp to the ground. This was not just some physical pain, it was simply taking his life!
Shui Sou did not care about Luo Kai's screams. He indifferently pinched from Luo Kai's arm to his chest. Wherever his fingers went, there was a continuous cracking sound until he reached Luo Kai's spine. Luo Kai had already fainted from the intense pain.
After an unknown period of time, when Luo Kai woke up, he was already in a prison cell. His clothes were soaked in sweat, and his muscles and bones were numb, making him feel as if he was in heaven, while everything last night was like hell.
He tried hard to stand up, but found that his body was like noodles, and even his bones were sore. It was not until the afternoon that the soreness gradually subsided that he could barely sit up.
At night, Luo Kai hesitated whether or not he should go to Shui Sou's place tonight. Last night was too painful, and he felt as if all his bones were crushed by Shui Sou.
Under the dim moonlight, he carefully studied the posture on the animal parchment. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became. The posture on the parchment was unimaginable. The human body was like plasticine, and it could be folded and stretched at will. This was simply terrifying. After all, humans had bones. Originally, he understood that this body technique was similar to yoga, and it was a method to cultivate one's body. But now, it seemed that it was not as simple as it seemed.
This kind of physical technique should be a combination of many physical training methods from his previous life and improved upon them, making the effect more obvious. After last night's practice, Song Gu felt that he had become a little different. It was as if he could control every part of his body more flexibly.
Just like that, he hesitated until late at night before crawling into the tunnel and crawling towards Shui Sou's place.
Seeing Luo Kai's figure appear, Shui Sou had a faint smile on his face, "What, are you planning to give up?
If you can't even endure this little pain, then you should leave. "
Luo Kai hurriedly shook his head, "No, I can endure it."
Tonight was destined to be a night of pain. Luo Kai felt as if he was a dough that had not been kneaded, and he was being pulled back and forth.
For the entire night, his howls echoed in the underground space. One moment, he had fainted from the pain, but the next moment, he was awakened by the pain. In the end, his entire body was like a puddle of softened plasticine. The moment he lost consciousness, an inexplicable question appeared in his mind. It was said that the human brain had a self-protection mechanism. Once the pain reached a certain threshold, the consciousness would automatically be cut off. It was similar to a trip. Then, was he in a state of near trip the entire night?
When he woke up in the morning, Luo Kai wondered if he was still alive. When he pinched himself, he realized that his fingers were bent upwards. Not only his fingers, but even his arms and legs were bent unnaturally. It was as if his bones did not exist. This made him extremely frightened. What did that old man do to him?!
A few hours later, his bones gradually became firm again. Only then did he feel at ease.
On the third night, Luo Kai dragged his sore body to the underground space. Shui Sou was holding a ruler and drawing a blueprint in front of his desk. Compared to the day before, the wrinkles on his face had deepened. His originally skinny body had become even more haggard. It was as if he had aged many years.
Luo Kai walked forward and looked at the blueprint on the desk. It was a drawing of an eggshell. It was somewhat similar to a submarine, but unlike a submarine, it was not completely sealed. The cockpit and the ferocious looking cannon were directly exposed.
Shui Sou did not care that Luo Kai was watching from the side. He frowned, as if he was not satisfied with the blueprint. After a while, he raised his head and asked Luo Kai, "By the way, I still don't know your name."
"I … I am Luo Kai." Luo Kai did not know the name of this body, so he could only say the name of his previous life.
"Oh, then where do you live? Do you have any relatives?"
Luo Kai hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.
"Alright, I said before that I need you to do me a small favor. If you leave this place and have time, go to Shangjing City in Higashimogami Province. There is a Cloud Radish Manor in the city. Help me pass this ring to a person called Yun Ye."
Shui Sou took out a simple and crude ring and handed it over. Luo Kai reached out and took it. The ring looked like it was made of iron wire. It looked unremarkable.
