Chapter 703 Falling into the Abyss
……
Yue Ji's consciousness sank again into the Stone Wings.
The severity of his physical condition had reached a new level, and the Stone Wings were only enough to barely keep him alive.
In the ocean of consciousness, Yue Ji was held up by countless people.
The moon in the sky shed tears of blood and looked down at everything on the ground with its terrifying eyes. On the planet of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the ocean of blood was boiling. As more and more mountains of corpses formed, the entire sea of blood covered people's calves.
Waves of sounds that were enough to drive Yue Ji crazy reached his ears.
"Let him die!"
"Let him die!!"
"Let him die!!!"
The continuous sound came into Yue Ji's ears. The sound was both unfamiliar and very familiar.
The blood moon shed tears, and the scarlet moonlight was cast in the space of consciousness like liquid metal. Tens of thousands of phantoms emerged from the void, their faces constantly changing, sometimes twisted into the claws of alien beasts, and sometimes pieced together the broken faces of Wang Ye and Pan Ting.
In the end, they all turned into Yue Ji's own reflection. Those voices came from all directions, like the rising tide filling the ear canal, mixed with despair, anger and crazy roars.
They looked like strangers, like people who had died in that dark area, and like Wang Ye and Pan Ting.
It also sounds like my own voice.
Invisible chains suddenly entangled Yue Ji's limbs, and then slowly sent Yue Ji down.
The leading phantom swung out his leather boots and kicked him hard in the chest. Yue Ji's consciousness fell into the abyss like a kite with a broken string, but was suddenly pulled by a rope when it was about to hit the bottom.
"Be gentle, don't let him die." A hoarse voice was wrapped in the noise of electricity, and a translucent hand grasped the glowing rope. He slowly lowered Yue Ji's consciousness downwards, and this action aroused the dissatisfaction of another person.
"Come on, he is already the happiest among so many Yue Ji. Do we need to be so cautious with such a happy Yue Ji? Come on, how many Yue Ji are better than him?"
"That being said, we are all suffering, so there is no need to torment each other. We also cannot allow survivor bias to affect the future."
"But at least he is happy. In those trillions of moons, he is at least in the top 5%. Never mind... let the program start and see if he still intends to continue."
"But in the end, he will still die here at the end."
"What if? After all, the half-formed Yue Ji refused and returned to the original world at the cost of his life, but ah..."
"But it's better to leave the pain to the essence here. At least this way of dying is not painful, right?"
The last person remained silent, just silently shook his head. After the few people left the giant pit, the crowd below caught the unconscious Yue Ji with expressionless faces, as if they were performing a predestined ritual, and Yue Ji's fate, in this cold handover, was heading towards an unknown abyss.
Above, the face under the hood was hidden in the shadows, and the expression could not be seen clearly. Only a faint sigh dissipated in the thick ink-like air. Several people walked away on the cracked ground at the edge of the pit.
Why fall?
Why escape?
"It's another Yue Ji. Are you here because your body is unstable?" A doubtful voice came from the darkness.
"It seems so. It looks like this is a test to hone his spirit." Another voice said with some certainty.
"Hush, that person is coming."
The sound suddenly became tense and rapid, and was responded by an indistinct hum, and then everything fell silent again.
"Ow."
In the darkness, the moonlight from the blood moon trickled down from above the pit, winding into strange patterns on the ground.
Yue Ji suddenly woke up from his coma, his body shaking uncontrollably, but he found himself lying on a rusty, poor quality steel plate. Every slight movement made the steel plate creak under the weight.
Not far in front of me, a blurry human figure was looming in the moonlight, with a strange halo around the edge of the figure, as if it would disappear into the air at any time.
"you're awake."
There was no emotion in the low tone, like an echo coming from the bottom of the abyss, and every word hit Yue Ji's heart.
However, due to the negative effects of the annihilation of flesh and blood, Yue Ji could only hear vague sounds and could not hear what the other party was saying at all.
Seeing this, the man pressed his hand on Yue Ji's chest, and then suddenly exerted force. In an instant, the piercing pain swept through Yue Ji's body like a tide, making him unable to help but let out a heart-wrenching groan of pain.
"Uhhhhh!!!"
He gasped for air, and the shadow continued to ask: "It seems that your condition is not very good either."
Yue Ji quickly recovered, but in the end he just asked in a hoarse voice.
"Why don't you just...ahh...kill me."
"You are not afraid of death, you even welcome it. Your punishment should be even more cruel. The pain you have suffered so far is too little, but your body can't bear it anymore."
"Torture?"
Yue Ji turned his head, and dark red blood dripped down his jaw onto the dead leaves, leaving spider-web-like patterns. The shadow leaned forward, and his pupils reflected the dark color in the other's eyes.
"Yes, but not to torture your current body, but your soul."
"I've got nothing to lose."
Yue Ji's voice was as light as a piece of glass about to break. Hearing Yue Ji's words, the figure suddenly laughed.
"That's not necessarily true."
"Where am I?"
"You're going home. We learned the true meaning of despair here, and you will too... The reason this place is a hell on earth is because of... hope." The black shadow turned and looked at the bottomless pit in the distance. There was a cold and hard ripple in his voice. Yue Ji looked at the figure, but there was no sense of reality.
“This is the first wave of screening. If you still want to go back to that damn place and enjoy the most painful death, you have to come here. We are not trying to harm you.
You will train your spirit here, and at the same time, you will cultivate your original body, at least, to let you have a brief moment of enlightenment. "
Hearing this, Yue Ji asked.
"You mean, use greater pain to cover up the injuries on my body so that I can move?"
“Yes, but not entirely. You are just suffering from premature despair here. If you really go back, then the situation will be better.
but. "
The shadow's voice suddenly stopped, as if he had swallowed a piece of broken ice.
“But one day, you will come back here, and the essential pain will help you end everything. You will become a part of all the moon silence, but don’t worry, this is much easier than the original world.
You are so lucky, so lucky that you were not screened in advance, but at this time..."
