Chapter 318 Tears!
Li Ran slammed the lid on and quickly climbed down the stairs, frowning as he climbed down the stairs.
Luo Gong showed a meaningful smile, patted Li Ran on the back and said, "There will be a long time to come, and you will get used to it."
Li Ran's mind was filled with the scene he saw in the tear tank.
That was definitely the most terrifying scene that Li Ran had ever seen in his life.
In the darkness,
he could never close his blood-colored eyes, and his distorted face was trembling and weeping.
Luo Gong then taught Li Ran how to collect tears.
He pushed a small cart over. The cart was full of drop-shaped bottles with a small wooden stopper at the mouth of the bottle.
"Your job today is to fill all these tear bottles." Luo Gong walked to a tear bottle and saw that the tear bottle was pointed at the faucet.
Turning on the faucet, a stream of clear liquid flowed into the tear bottle.
The tear bottle is about the size of a normal can of Coke.
"A tear tank can only hold tears once a day." Luo Gong said.
Li Ran followed him like an apprentice learning from his master. He asked seriously: "Can a child shed so many tears in one day? Will the tears run dry?" Luo Gong accused those who inserted themselves on the female wall
. The jar in the tear tank said: "Those tubes will regularly deliver special nutrient solution, allowing children to have enough tears and keep the body hydrated, and then through a specially processed tearing method, the tears can be quickly collected. This is all It's knowledge, do you understand?"
The so-called special treatment method is to make the eyes never close?
Li Ran recalled in his mind the bloodshot eyes he saw in the tear tank. Through special treatment, those eyes could not be closed.
"Understood." Li Ran nodded, took the tear bottle from the cart, looked at the tear bottles all over the wall and asked curiously: "How long can this child last?"
"Depending on the body's constitution, it can take as little as a few days or as long as a few months. Once it is no longer useful, it will be made into food or fed to pigs." Luo Gong said calmly.
After hearing this, Li Ran was extremely shocked. The children were being kept like domestic animals here.
It's like a chicken in a henhouse that is usually given hormones to encourage it to lay eggs. When the chicken stops laying eggs, it's on the table.
In the other world, people are just domestic animals in the eyes of these weird people!
As for feeding the pigs, Li Ran had already fed them, and they were the bronze snakes and iron dogs under the waterfall.
"Are all the children here?" Li Ran asked.
He glanced around and didn't get the hint from the golden finger on the wall of the tear tank.
"That's not true. Children who enter the tear vat need to be nurtured and purified before they can enter the tear vat. Otherwise, they will not be able to produce such pure tears." Luo Gong said, pointing to the huge bronze bowl and said: "The other children are in the cave behind. Internally, nurturing and purifying the body are all dirty and tiring work. The person in charge has explained it, so you can just do easy work here." "I'll leave this to you.
I'll go work on the conveyor belt. What's wrong with you? Come and ask me if you understand."
"Okay, Luo Gong."
Is there a cave behind the bronze bowl?
It seems that the child to be rescued in the mission should be in that cave.
He opened his palm, and the little butterfly hid in his palm with its wings shrunken.
"Do you also want me to go to the cave at the back?"
Li Ran looked at a passage leading into the cave under the huge bronze bowl. In addition to the stewards, there were also pyrotechnics and laborers coming in and out.
Pyrotechnics carried charcoal in baskets into and out of the boiler room.
Workers carried baskets of herbs on their backs to the conveyor belt. After the herbs were picked on the conveyor belt, they were transported to the bronze bowl.
In addition, there are four mummy guards in the passage, and you need to check the sign when entering or exiting.
"Let's look for opportunities while working first."
He is currently the only one collecting in the tear tank area. If he escapes or leaves directly, he will be discovered immediately.
The work of collecting tears is very simple and an easy job.
If he hadn't moved out and had to cook for the ghost mother-in-law, he might have been assigned to do hard labor.
The filling speed of tear bottles is very fast, it can fill a tear bottle in almost ten seconds.
Li Ran's hands and feet were not slow and his movements were nimble.
498:56:36
"The speed of time loss has begun to double."
The countdown to the bounty has obviously begun to speed up.
"We can't waste time like this anymore. We have to find a way to escape and go to the cave behind."
Li Ran looked around, collecting tear bottles and observing the movements of the soup house.
He noticed that above the bronze bowl, the brewed soup would be put into oak barrels, and then carried on the backs of laborers to the inside of the cave. He did not know where they were transported.
He didn't dare to ask any more questions.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Li Ran couldn't find a chance to leave.
After a while, Li Ran felt that it was about half an hour, but an hour of his life time had been lost.
497:58:32
Li Ran felt that he had done nothing and his life was gone in one hour.
Every hour, the rate of loss doubles.
No amount of time is enough.
"How are you doing? Are you getting used to it?"
At this time, Luo Gong came to express his condolences behind Li Ran who was collecting tears.
"It's okay, I'm not tired." Li Ran replied. He felt that Luo Gong seemed to be looking for something to do with him. His face was hesitant to speak, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Luo Gong, do you want to see me for something?" Li Ran asked.
"That's it." Luo Gong glanced around, as if he was very wary, and then said in Li Ran's ear: "You are a popular person around Granny Gui. You must be able to speak well around her."
Li Ran suddenly realized that he was asked to do something.
Just because he said something to the manager that he would have to cook for the ghost lady, why did he become a famous person around the ghost lady?
No wonder he saw Luo Gong and several other hard workers whispering there before, looking at him from time to time, feeling that they were talking about themselves.
"Luo Gong, you said, as long as I can help, I will definitely help." Li Ran said, patting his chest.
Anyway, he withdrew as soon as he was done with his business, so he could draw a big pie first.
When Luo Gong heard this, his brows were filled with joy, and his three eyes turned into crescent moons. He rubbed his hands and said, "Tell the ghost lady, for the sake of hard work without credit, can you increase my daily salary?" A little, can you raise 90 hours to 100 hours?"
Li Ran was slightly stunned: "100 hours?"
"What, is it too high?" Luo Gong asked, he said with a hunched back: "Look at my back, it's already gone It's been bent. If you don't straighten it, you may not be able to work in the future." "
It's not high. I'll go to my mother-in-law and apply for a daily salary of 120 hours a day." Li Ran said.
"Ah, is it true?" Luo Gong said flattered.
The reason why Li Ran was stunned just now was because he was surprised to learn that Luo Gong's daily salary was only 90 hours.
Doesn’t life time double for every hour lost?
9 hours, the life time lost would be 511.
In 24 hours, the amount of divine time lost is simply immeasurable.
Before coming to Ming Tang House, Li Ran was also wondering how high the daily wages of strange laborers in the other world would be to withstand the doubling of time in the other world.
But now, Li Ran suddenly felt that the passage of life and time in the other world was not exactly what Chu Yuhao told him.
Otherwise, the 90 life time will be gone in six and a half hours.
This is not enough for one day.
But he couldn't ask Luo Gong openly. Other weirdos knew it, but he didn't understand it. This made him look like a retard.
"Of course it's true." Li Ran assured, patting his chest, but then sighed.
Luo Gong frowned and asked: "Big Red Man, what's wrong?"
Li Ran said: "I have also become a good cook recently, so the ghost lady valued me and arranged a good job in the soup house for me. In fact, before that I'm as distressed as Luo Gong. My daily salary is less than Luo Gong. It's not enough. Thanks to the ghost lady, I have a chance to breathe." When Luo Gong heard this, he felt a sense of sympathy for each other: "No, who is not
? We are living life in a hurry. Even if we break into the watch world to reset the time every once in a while, we still don't have enough time." After
hearing this, Li Ran's eyes lit up.
Finally he found out.
It is true that the time in the inner world will gradually double, but the elapsed time can be reset by entering the outer world.
"The people in charge are very strict. We can only do this when we secretly go to the latrine. If we are discovered, we will have to be whipped. The whip will hurt more than the last. If we take a few more blows, no one will be able to do it." I can't stand it," Luo Gong said with a bitter look on his face.
"Luo Gong, leave this matter to me. I will definitely mention it to the ghost woman." Li Ran patted Luo Gong on the shoulder and said, suddenly holding his stomach and saying: "By the way, Luo Gong, I just came to the soup kitchen. I don't know where the latrine is. I want to go to a latrine. You can look after it for me." "
Go ahead, I understand." Luo Gong winked and pointed to the four guards at the passage under the bronze bowl. "Where are the guards? A side door can lead to Haiya, you can just go to Haiya to solve it, and wear this to secretly reset the time."
Luo Gong thrust a small lens the size of a quail egg into Li Ran's hand.
"Thanks, Luo Gong, I'll be right back."
Li Ran put the small mirror away and walked towards the passage leading to the inside of the cave.
When they arrived at the guard station, the four mummy guards immediately became alert, but when they saw that Li Ran was going to the toilet on the edge of the cliff, they relaxed their vigilance.
Through the small passage, we came to a cave on the edge of the cliff. From the cave, we could see the endless sea of blood.
In the surface world, the ghost soup house and the soup house in the sea cliff do not exist.
If he needs to reset time, he must find a place where both the inner and outer worlds exist, and there are shadows.
Because the life time of monsters in the inner world is negative, they cannot enter the outside world. Therefore, the monsters need to enter the outside world through mirrors and sunlight to reach the outside world, thereby resetting time.
When a weirdo enters the surface world, it will be like what Li Ran saw in the hotel room. There is a weird outline under the penetrating sunlight.
Because Li Ran has not become a monster in the other world, he only needs to find a shadow in the outer world and then enter the inner world to reset time.
Li Ran looked up at a raised boulder above the cliff.
There is a shadow under the boulder.
Li Ran jumped up high and jumped to the shadow under the boulder.
In an instant, he returned from the inner world to the outer world.
The sea in front of me is blue and sparkling. A group of seagulls are circling on the sea, and the cries from time to time are unexpectedly sweet.
Countdown life time: 497:25:36
In addition to the shadows under this protruding boulder, there are also some in other places, but they don't occupy a large area.
Li Ran took a deep breath of the air outside the world, feeling inexplicably sweet.
He did not dare to stay in the outer world for too long, so he immediately jumped off the raised boulder. When his body fell, he directly entered the inner world, and then returned to the cave on the cliff.
This cave does not exist in the outer world and can only be seen in the inner world.
"It turns out that the strange things in the real world use this method to suppress the doubling of lost time."
Li Ran glanced at the life time countdown and returned to the normal countdown speed.
Leap strike stealth attack!
Activate the stealth skill directly in the cave.
Because there are no shadows in the caves in the world, if you use the shadow bird skill, you will be easily discovered at a glance.
Only stealth can guarantee safety.
It is impossible to go back to work.
He must find a way to break through the four mummy guards.
The skill of Leap Sneak Attack is good if it can remain invisible while moving at high speed and not be captured by dynamic vision.
Arriving at the guard, Li Ran jumped directly over the heads of the four guards.
The four mummy guards didn't notice anything at all.
Enter the passage and continue walking inside.
Many workers in the passage were carrying baskets and large vats from the depths of the cave to the soup house one after another.
The baskets are filled with herbs, and the large tanks are divided into two types.
One is a black vat used to transport combustible rock crystals in the boiler room, and a light-colored clean vat is used to hold children.
While Li Ran was collecting tears, he overheard the steward's conversation.
Only when a child dies can a new child enter the tear tank, and it must be alive, healthy, and clean. For this reason, when those children are imprisoned, they not only need to be cultivated with special nutrient solution, but also need to have their intestines cleaned and Purify yourself.
Li Ran didn't know the specific training method, but he understood that it must be very cruel.
Continuing to dive in, the geology inside the cave has undergone some changes, and many strange green plants have appeared on the rock walls. These green plants appear very bright and bright in the blood-colored cave.
"Is that a firefly?"
Li Ran noticed that there were small bugs flying in the green plants with flickering lights, and there was a light similar to fireflies on their buttocks, emitting a faint blue light.
Blue fireflies?
Continuing to sneak in, Li Ran found more and more blue fireflies like this. They kept flying among the green plants as if they were working diligently on the green plants.
(Ghost Firefly: After the monsters in this world die, the souls will turn into little bugs like this, and they still need to work day and night.)
Damn!
Not even sparing the soul after death!
No wonder there are people who can't stand the weirdness and end up in the sea of misery.
But is the sea of suffering the liberation?
Following the intensive work, the ghostly fireflies came to another cave with a strange light.
The strange light is because there are countless ghost fireflies working in the dense vegetation in the cave, and the ghost light of the dead lights up the entire cave.
However, there are four more guards guarding the entrance of the cave, and the labor monsters who enter and exit need to show a sign.
With the help of invisibility, Li Ran once again floated into the dim light cave from the heads of the four guards.
After entering it, Li Ran seemed to be in a magical world.
The floor of the cave is a calm lake. Countless blue fluorescences are reflected in the lake. The cave is surrounded by strange and illuminated herbs. Being in it feels like being in a magical world.
Li Ran summoned the possessed soul of Xiao Yu and flew forward invisible in the air.
If he were walking on the ground, even if he was invisible, his footsteps would create ripples in the lake water.
Li Ran noticed that there were strange one-eyed boatmen with huge heads and bandages transporting a glass container filled with a faint blue liquid to the shore. Then, the one-eyed boatman would transfer the blue liquid in the glass container. They were poured into a large light-colored vat with the children inside, sealed, and then transported by laborers to the tear tank wall of the soup house.
"So the so-called cultivation is to use glassware, is it similar to soaking in formalin?"
There is an underground lake in the cave, and you can punt a boat in the lake. You can imagine the hugeness of the cave.
"Daddy, there are so many children here."
Xiao Yusu's voice sounded in Li Ran's mind.
Li Ran also noticed that among the strangely glowing plant vines on the rock wall, there would be a glass container filled with a faint blue liquid, with all kinds of children soaked in the liquid.
A vine glowing with blue light will be connected to the back of the children's heads, and the children will seem to be asleep, as if soaked in amniotic fluid.
"These are children stolen by bad guys." Li Ran said.
"Ah, then they are so pitiful." Xiao Yusu said, tears streaming from his eyes.
The little dark witch was originally transformed from the wronged souls of countless abandoned babies, so she can clearly sense the resentment in these children's hearts, which is sadness, helplessness, and despair.
Li Ran didn't know what to say. He had been looking for the ramen shop owner's child through hidden hints.
He can't save all the children here.
There are too many such children in the entire cave. They are like fruits growing out of dense vegetation, hanging on vines, or sitting quietly at the bottom of the water.
"Are you here?"
At this time, the little butterfly in Li Ran's hand moved.
Li Ran immediately opened his hand, and the little strange butterfly slowly flew forward, dragging its golden tail and flickering its wings.
Looking back, there is a quiet and beautiful scene like a dream.
The little butterfly's awareness of crisis is still very high. When it flaps its wings and flies forward, it means it has entered a low-risk area.
Li Ran flew forward for a while, and suddenly the little butterfly stopped and landed slowly on the calm lake.
"In the water?"
He looked away, across the water.
The lake water is beautiful and magical under the blue fluorescence, and it is crystal clear.
He could see the bottom of the lake at a glance.
Between two glass vessels filled with blue liquid, the toe bones of a corpse were exposed in the mud covered by vegetation.
Sure enough, it was still a corpse.
The little butterfly hunts for treasures, and all the treasures come from corpses.
This time is no exception.
Divine feeling!
He wasn't sure if there was anything scary in the lake.
Use a mind scan in advance to ensure safety.
After confirming that there was no danger in this area, Li Ran quietly sneaked into the bottom of the lake.
He dived into the bottom of the lake, swam to the center of two blue glass vessels, pulled out the body by the toe bones exposed in the mud.
It was a human corpse, the clothes were almost in tatters, and there was a special small backpack.
Judging from the shape of the corpse, it looked like a female.
There are actually female human players who have been here?
Li Ran was shocked.
It turns out that besides him, there are also humans who have visited the Mingtang House and penetrated to such a deep place.
"But why did you die here?"
