Shui Sou stared at the ring with his cloudy eyes. He looked reluctant to part with it. After a while, he said, "The Soft Body Forging Technique is a technique that people developed to resist the high pressure in the deep sea. It is a secret technique of the Oceanids. It takes a lot of time and energy to complete the initial bone forging, but your body is very strong, and my time is limited, so I will use external forces to help you complete the process. You will know how good it is when you practice it. Okay, our fate ends here."
Luo Kai paused and asked, "Sir, you … you are not going to teach me anymore?"
Shui Sou sighed and said, "I've done what I can. The new warden of South Tooth Island Prison is a member of the Three-Eyed Race. The Three-Eyed Race has always prided themselves on being benevolent and righteous. You shouldn't have to worry about your life in the prison. If you're lucky enough to escape, find a place to live."
Luo Kai lowered his head and said sincerely, "Thank you!"
Although he did not know the benefits of Shui Sou teaching him, he could hear the sincerity in Shui Sou's voice. He was touched. This old man was the first good person he had met in this world.
"Oh, right. Remember to destroy the animal skin when you are familiar with it. Don't tell anyone that I taught you. I have a lot of enemies out there. I don't want anyone to trouble you."
Luo Kai nodded. He had just heard Shui Sou Gang mention a new race. What was this "Three Eyed Race"?
He hesitated and asked, "Sir, you … are you one of the Oceanids mentioned in the book?
Can they really survive in the water?
And what is the Three-Eyed Race? "
Shui Sou laughed and said, "I am not one of the Oceanids. In fact, the Oceanids and the Three-Eyed Race are just a result of human genetic evolution to adapt to this world. Strictly speaking, they are a branch of the human race.
In order to adapt to the environment of the ocean, the Oceanids have evolved gills on the sides of their ears to filter out oxygen from the water. The Three-Eyed Race, on the other hand, have pineal glands on their foreheads. This allows them to sense and think faster and have higher intelligence. With higher intelligence, they can learn more with less effort. That is why they are called the higher race. "
"Alright, you can go back now. Don't come looking for me again." Shui Sou returned to his desk and sat down.
Luo Kai silently took a few steps back. Looking at the dark surroundings, he couldn't help but ask, "Sir, are you going to stay here forever?"
Shui Sou waved his hand. "This old man is a loner and doesn't like to interact with others. This place might be unbearable for you, but it's the best place for me to live in seclusion. Let's go."
At this time, the big grey rat had returned. It skillfully climbed onto Shui Sou's bird nest-like hair and squeaked at Luo Kai.
Luo Kai was reluctant to leave. He wanted to come here every night to chat and read, but Shui Sou clearly did not like to be disturbed.
…
The next day, Luo Kai was woken up from his sleep. The scarred jailer's ugly face appeared in front of him. He fiercely tied Luo Kai's hands and feet with heavy shackles and yelled, "Get up! Come with me!"
Luo Kai dragged his sore body and stood up with great effort. He followed the scarred jailer out of the cell.
There were still a few fat prison guards standing at the door. They woke up the remaining five prisoners, put on heavy shackles, and drove them out one by one.
Due to the lack of exercise and the heavy shackles, the prisoners were dragging their feet. As they passed through the long dark corridor, a ray of sunlight shone on the door. The five of them looked excited. They tried their best to drag the shackles and ran. They ignored the jailers' whips. No one knew better than them how precious the sunlight was.
Bathed in the sunlight, Luo Kai felt a little dizzy. He sat down on the ground and wished that time would stop. A whip came down on him. The burning pain reminded him of his current status. The jailers scolded him angrily and whipped the five of them again.
They were chased all the way to a small square. There was already a group of prisoners in prison uniforms standing there. These prisoners were obviously new. It was easy to distinguish between the old prisoners and the new ones. The old prisoners were sallow and skinny, and their clothes were shabby. The new prisoners were tall, short, fat, and skinny, and their skin color was normal.
The five of them were driven to join the group of new prisoners. When they heard the continuous screams coming from the stone house in front of them, they were somewhat frightened. The new prisoners were even more panicked. One of the fat men was so frightened that he wet his pants. The prison guard at the side immediately became angry. He fiercely whipped the fat man, cursing his bad luck as he dragged him out.
Soon, it was Luo Kai and the others' turn. This was a torture chamber full of dark red bloodstains. A prison guard smiled sinisterly as he picked up a hot soldering iron and looked at them.
In front of Luo Kai was the old prisoner with a face full of wrinkles. When it was his turn, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile and said, "Sir, this is …"
"Hehe, I'm going to mark you!"
The scar-faced jailer took the red iron and pursed his lips. The long, slanted scar on his face trembled slightly. It was a horrifying sight.
"Ah … haha!
This old man's skin is quite tender! "
The miserable screams of the prisoners in the torture room mixed with the evil laughter of the jailers. It was as if they had fallen into hell.
…
Luo Kai began to dream again. He dreamed that he was escorted to the execution ground by a group of soldiers in black armor. His parents were crying and pleading for him at the execution ground. Finally, accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, he found himself lying peacefully on the big bed at home. His wife was lying quietly on his chest. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, his wife's charming face gently lifted up. Then, she suddenly aged rapidly. In a short while, she became a skeleton. Her mouth, which only had gums left, opened and closed gently …
He suddenly sat up. The dazzling sunlight made him dizzy. His whole body was soaked in sweat. Waves of burning pain came from his chest, reminding him that he had woken up from the nightmare.
After a long time, Luo Kai looked down. There was a burn mark on his chest made by the jailers with a hot iron. He could barely make out a series of numbers, "9527."
They were on the other side of the torture room. Many prisoners were lying haphazardly on the floor. They had all fainted from the pain caused by the hot iron. Screams could be heard from time to time in the torture room. The four prisoners on death row sat beside Luo Yang. They were silently observing their surroundings. A series of numbers had been burned into their chests by the hot iron.
They were on a small island. There was only one building on the island. It was the prison that looked like an ancient European castle. They could see that there were many huge cannons on top of the castle. There were also many armed guards patrolling the tower. It didn't look like a prison, but more like a fortress.
