Every inch of Guhan's body was filled with desire, and every cell on his skin was calling out to Guhan.
These damned mosquitoes seemed to be able to burrow into Guhan's body through his skin, then fly up along the nerves in his body step by step, and finally gather in Guhan's brain.
Gu Han only felt that his mind had been filled with mosquitoes, as though he had fallen into an endless hell. He wished he could peel off his skin and hollow out his brain in order to alleviate this endless itch.
What was even more frightening was that his hands and feet had been tied up. A normal person only needed to scratch or even caress to relieve the itch, but Guhan had no way to deal with it. He could only endure this huge torture.
When the itch reached its limit, Guhan could not help but want to scratch himself.
However, when he wanted to scratch himself, he found that his limbs had been firmly locked by mechanical tentacles, and it was impossible for him to touch other parts of his body.
If he could not scratch himself, then a normal person could only hope that he would faint. As long as he fainted, he would not have to endure such intense itch.
In reality, the human body had a self-protection mechanism. When faced with mental pain that could not be endured, the human body would automatically faint, so that it would not collapse from the torture.
At this moment, Guhan was already in a daze. If he followed his instincts, Guhan should be able to easily fall asleep.
However, at the same time, Guhan was very clear that he must not fall asleep.
Because once he fainted, this test would be declared over, and all the tickling he had endured before would be meaningless.
However, this torture was still within the range of Guhan's endurance. After all, Guhan was a fierce person who could leave deep wounds on three Sword Ladies in one night.
The pain caused by the Sword Ladies was actually comparable to the pain caused by the mosquitoes. Guhan gritted his teeth and was able to endure it.
However, it was clear that Yan Hong's side was unable to endure it. The woman's voice could pass through three or four layers of walls, but now, it was only as small as a fly. At the same time, her eyes were so squinted that she could not open them, and it was obvious that she was about to faint.
"Enough!
It's not like she can make it to the Twelve Palaces, so I'll just let her stay here and suffer less, "Guhan thought. He didn't want to wake Yan Hong up.
However, he did not expect that after more than ten seconds, the scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered once again exploded in Gu Han's ears.
"Get out!
Get out!
Get out of here!
You are not allowed to come in! "
Yan Hong, who was still in a semi-conscious state, suddenly began to scream as if her mental power had exploded. She kept shouting in horror, "Get out … Don't come in!"
"Enough, don't you think it's a little too late to call me out?
Besides, I definitely won't go out. "
Guhan instinctively thought that Yan Hong was calling him out. This made Guhan, who was already in a bad mood after being bitten by mosquitoes, even more unhappy.
"No … I'm not asking you to get out …" Yan Hong looked like she was about to cry. "I'm asking the mosquitoes to get out."
"The hole under our feet that the mosquitoes flew in has been closed again. Even if the mosquitoes want to leave this glass cabinet, they can't do it. What's the point of screaming like that?" Guhan couldn't help but roll his eyes at Yan Hong. Wasn't this person a little too naive?
It wasn't even twenty minutes yet, how could the mosquitoes be recalled?
"I'm not asking the mosquitoes to leave this cabinet … I'm saying … I'm saying …" Yan Hong suddenly stopped, unable to say what she wanted to say for a long time.
Instead, her whole face turned red, and a shy expression appeared on her face.
"Wait!
This woman can't mean that! "Guhan suddenly thought of a possibility.
"Did the mosquitoes crawl into the cabinet?" Guhan asked.
"…" Yan Hong didn't say anything, but her silence only confirmed Guhan's question.
Obviously, the deeper part of her body had been invaded by the mosquitoes.
"What should I do?"
Anyway, the matter had already been guessed by Gu Han, so Yin Hong didn't care about the question of embarrassment. She desperately asked Gu Han, "Those damn mosquitoes bit me a few times inside, I'm now … I'm now … I'm now …"
How was Yan Hong now?
Yan Hong not only itched on the outside, but also on the inside of her body … The skin there was more delicate than the skin outside, so the itch was naturally more than ten times stronger than the skin outside.
Yan Hong only felt that there was a raging flame burning inside her body, and this flame was constantly roasting the inside of her body, roasting out the moisture in her body bit by bit, and then dripping outside, forming a small pool of water that was neither too big nor too small.
"Bear with it!" Guhan said lightly.
"…" Yan Hong was so painful that she was about to cry. "Is there no other better way?"
"Actually, you should be happy!" Guhan licked his dry lips. "This way, you won't pass out."
Thanks to Yan Hong, Guhan felt that his attention and imagination had been completely diverted to another place, and Guhan probably wouldn't pass out.
…
After the mosquito invasion, both Guhan and Yan Hong clearly felt that time was much better than before. Although this brought Yan Hong a great sense of shame, this sense of shame collided with the huge itch, which made Yan Hong feel that time was not so difficult to bear.
This also made Yan Hong feel a little glad about such a shameful thing … and this little joy made Yan Hong feel even more ashamed.
If the rest of the time passed like this, Yan Hong felt that she could continue to hold on until all the time was over.
But about ten minutes after the test began, an unforeseen event happened.
In an instant, the four mechanical tentacles that bound Guhan's hands and feet loosened, then quickly returned to the bottom of the glass cabinet, and freedom was returned to Guhan.
Logically speaking, this should be a good thing, after all, no one would want their hands and feet to be tied up.
But in fact, when Guhan regained his freedom, Guhan's heart skipped a beat. He knew that a more terrifying test was coming.
The moment Guhan fell on the glass cabinet, his hands were freed, and he instinctively wanted to scratch his itchy chest, but before he could move, his hands were stopped by Guhan, because Guhan knew that he could not do that.
Previously, both Guhan and Yan Hong's hands and feet were bound by the mechanical tentacles. Although this greatly restricted Guhan's and Yan Hong's freedom, it also gave Guhan and Yan Hong a benefit.
That was, Guhan and Yan Hong could not move their hands and feet freely, even if they wanted to scratch themselves, it was impossible.
On the contrary, they could constantly struggle with their hands and feet to offset part of the itch.
Compared to the benefits they gained, losing a bit of meaningless freedom was not a big deal.
But when freedom returned to Guhan's hands, Guhan deeply realized how wonderful those mechanical tentacles were.
Previously, because he was bound by the mechanical tentacles, he was destined to be unable to use his hands, so Guhan did not think about scratching himself.
But once he regained his freedom, when the Gu Han could scratch his itch, this problem would become even more serious.
When one's body itched unbearably, when one knew that a gentle scratch could relieve the great pain, could one still resist the urge to scratch himself?
As long as he scratched himself gently, all the itchiness would be suppressed, and he would obtain a great sense of satisfaction. He would feel as if he was floating in the air.
When his limbs were bound, this temptation was not obvious enough, but once his limbs were freed, the temptation to scratch himself instantly slapped at Guhan like a turbulent wave.
However, Guhan's mind was very clear. The attendant from Red Rabbit Palace had said it clearly.
He would not allow himself to take the initiative to touch any part of his body. Once he touched any part of his body, the challenge would immediately be declared a failure, and all his previous efforts would come to an end.
Therefore, at this moment, Guhan understood that freeing his hands and feet was not a good thing. Instead, it was an even greater test.
Previously, Guhan only had to endure the torture of the itch, but now, Guhan had to endure the test of the desire to scratch himself from the depths of his heart.
This was equivalent to enduring two tests at the same time. One came from the outside world, and the other came from his heart.
It was obvious that the desire that came from the depths of his heart was harder to endure than the torture from the outside world. This was a common principle since ancient times.
Humans were very strange creatures. Their hands were clearly under their control, but most of the time, their hands were not under their control at all.
Since ancient times, it was very difficult for humans to use their rationality to control their hands. Most of the time, it was their own desires that controlled them.
It was just like how you knew that drug addiction and gambling would ruin your family, but you would still throw yourself into it without a care for your own safety.
If you wanted to quit drugs, you had to go to a forced detoxification center. If you wanted to study well, you had to be taught by your parents. You had to force yourself to finish your winter vacation homework in the last few days of the winter vacation … Humans always clamored for absolute freedom, but when absolute freedom was given to everyone, it would probably be the end of the world.
The Red Rabbit Palace's test was no longer just a test of one's ability to endure torture. It was a test of one's ability to control one's nature.
This was a test that even a so-called sage would find difficult to endure.
"No wonder countless people are stuck at the Red Rabbit Palace, unable to pass. I'm afraid even Sage Confucius wouldn't be able to resist this temptation!" Guhan thought as he endured the double test.
