Chapter 520 Fall
“It’s time to increase the voltage!”

A man in a white coat not far away shouted a reminder.

Following his reminder, Xiao Kun felt his heart pounding.

Ever since he put on this metal electric shock helmet, he has lost count of how many times he has been shocked. It seems as if his heartbeat rises and falls with the voltage.

Xiao Kun didn't understand. They all had the same skin color and spoke the same language, so why were the experimenters over there so cruel? They shocked their former compatriots time and time again without any bottom line, and they didn't seem to feel any psychological pressure at all.

Perhaps, this is what they are pursuing by leaving their homes and careers behind? The recognition of those ambitious aliens? The not-so-high salary? The so-called freedom?

Unfortunately, a plastic ball had been stuffed in his mouth, so Xiao Kun couldn't utter a word and could only wait silently for the next electric shock.

"Om..."

A slight sound of motor operation was heard, and the electric current instantly spread into the helmet along the wires, and flowed into Xiao Kun's head along dozens of metal needles fixed on the acupuncture points in the helmet.

In an instant, the intense pain made Xiao Kun tense up. His bound hands kept scratching the bed, the plastic ball in his mouth kept colliding with his teeth, and his legs were stretched straight, trying to mobilize all his body's strength to resist the more intense electric shock.

Damn! Damn! Damn!

I was so stupid! I just wanted to escape, but I didn't expect to suffer such a torture, and I have to suffer it every day!
If I had known this would be the result, I would not have memorized the drawings of the electromagnetic wave sensing helmet that came with the "Electromagnetic Golden Body Technique".

Isn't your Xi'an University known as the world's number one in science and technology? Is it because my drawings are not standard, or is it because your manufacturing level is not good enough? Why does this helmet only have the effect of electric shock torture, and has no induction to electromagnetic waves and biomagnetic fields at all!
Also, under this kind of voltage and current infusion, who can calm down and sense the electromagnetic waves around them and experience the changes in their own biomagnetic field?

I've tried my best just to endure the pain, okay?

What kind of extraordinary martial arts is this? What kind of extraordinary martial arts is most likely to be practiced in reality? It would be a miracle if this "Electromagnetic Golden Body Technique" could be practiced!

The whole day's electric shock torture finally ended. Xiao Kun felt like cotton pulled out of the water, wet and limp, being dragged from the laboratory back to the cell.

His jaw was forcefully pried open again, a funnel was inserted, and a large bag of something with the wrong color was poured down his throat.

Looking at the ceiling light on the top of the cell that was on 24 hours a day, Xiao Kun felt filled with despair and just wanted to die as soon as possible.

Go fucking escape, fucking keep it secret, fucking the game world, fucking the players! I don't want to play anymore! I don't want to live anymore! It's been more than two years! When will this hellish torture end?
Unfortunately, the cell was surrounded by soft walls, and even banging his head against the wall became a luxury, not to mention that after suffering a whole day of torture, he really had no strength left.

The best resistance he could offer now was to pee and shit all over himself, so as to put more pressure on the staff the next day to use the high-pressure water guns.

After a whole day of torture, Xiao Kun's spirit was exhausted. He covered his eyes with his hands and fell asleep soon. He logged into the game.

An infinite sense of power surged in his heart. The martial arts strength of the Xiantian realm, coupled with the physical cultivation level of the third level of Qi Refining, this extremely strong physique finally allowed Xiao Kun to regain a little confidence and barely repaired some of the psychological trauma.

But this is far from enough! I need more venting! More rage! More squandering!

Xiao Kun ran directly to the food street behind the copy square and started spending money lavishly to buy various spiritual foods to satisfy his appetite. Fortunately, the garrison bureau would send him spiritual stones every day to help relieve the pressure. Even if he ate one portion and threw one portion away, it would be enough to fill his stomach.

A lot of players choose to be spirit chefs. On the one hand, the academy's food supply is too little on weekdays, forcing everyone to be self-reliant. They can only fill their stomachs by relying on the corpses of monsters brought back from dungeons and auction houses.

Secondly, a spiritual chef has relatively the lowest cost. After all, if something like alchemy or making tools fails, all the things will be gone and very few can be salvaged. If a spiritual chef fails, the worst that can happen is that the food won't taste good, the spirituality of the spiritual materials won't be fully stimulated, and the effect won't be the best. At worst, you can just eat it yourself to avoid waste.

As a poor fellow captured by foreign forces, Xiao Kun certainly didn't care about all this. He just kept eating as much as he could to make up for the damage to his heart, until he couldn't eat any more.

He also spent some spiritual food to find a tiger-headed half-demon player who was equally strong, and had several fierce fights with him. Both of them were bruised and battered. Xiao Kun finally felt better and survived the darkness before dawn.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Among the six people who were kidnapped, only two were rescued, one dead and one alive. Four people, including Xiao Kun, were not found. One of them was a woman who was completely tortured to insanity last year. She hasn't played the game online for almost half a year, and it's unknown whether she is alive or dead.

The other two were also in a state of chronic depression. After finding a player who studied psychology, we learned that the three of them all suffered from mental illnesses to varying degrees, especially depression, and all had obvious self-destructive tendencies.

That's why the garrison bureau gave each of them 800 spirit stones every day, allowing them to spend them as they pleased. They also held psychological consultations, relaxation massages and other activities from time to time to ensure the mental health of the three as much as possible.

I have to say, the effect is really good. By spending and venting in the game every day, Xiao Kun has barely survived and is still alive today.

Come to think of it, no matter how severe a person’s depression is, when he knows that the lottery he bought has won a small goal, the symptoms will be much better.

After venting his anger, Xiao Kun practiced a few more cycles of meditation and did two rounds of boxing, then came to the Garrison Bureau's research institute once again.

The research institute no longer has its previous simple appearance. Transparent glass separates the dust-free rooms of various sizes. Inside the rooms are completely incomprehensible high-tech machines. A man in protective clothing and with a mana shield open is busy in the machine, making something.

The Extraordinary Martial Arts Research Department led by Xiao Kun is located in a small corner of the research institute. There are not many machines and not many people.

It was still Team Leader Zhao, with the same gentle smile and soft concern as before: "Are you all right? No matter what, persistence is victory! We have made a breakthrough! We have launched thirty-six quantum satellites! If we launch another seventy-two, we will be able to completely cover the entire world and even monitor all electromagnetic signals! As long as we find your traces in these signals, we can rescue the three of you!"

Similar promises have been made many times, but each time the waiting turns into disappointment.

As expected, a long-haired man next to him immediately exploded: "Can you please not tell such lies next time? Didn't you say last time that our country's supercomputer AI has the ability to crack all Internet blockades and that as long as our information is uploaded to the Internet, they can find us? It's been a few months now, right? Have they rescued us?"

"The other party must be a confidential unit. They just don't use network electronic devices to record information. Don't worry, the Garrison Bureau has been looking for you. We will not give up, and we hope you don't give up either! One day, we will make them pay the price!"

Seeing that everyone was in a bad mood, Team Leader Zhao changed the subject: "This is not good news, so let me tell you some really good news! You must have failed in practicing the Electromagnetic Golden Body Technique in reality, right?"

"I shouldn't have listened to you! In the past, they just opened my head, gave me anesthesia, and sewed me back together, but what about now?" Another female companion also shouted, "Now they give me electric shocks every day! They made me lose control of my bowels and bladder! No matter how I beg them, no matter how much I beg them, they won't stop! They just keep on giving me electric shocks!"

Seeing that she had completely broken down, the psychologist player next to her immediately stepped forward, hugged her, comforted her softly, and carefully soothed her emotions.

After a while, everyone seemed to have calmed down a bit, and Team Leader Zhao said the second half of the sentence: "I know that everyone has had a hard time these days, but in reality, with the continuous optimization of the Garrison Bureau, someone has already fully mastered this "Electromagnetic Golden Body Technique"!"

"He really sensed the flow of electromagnetic waves and was able to sense and control his own biomagnetic field to a certain extent! According to our experts' tests, his cell activity has increased by more than 30% compared to a week ago! When he bursts out with all his strength, he can even make some electronic devices near his body inoperable!"

"How did he learn it?" the poor long-haired man asked immediately, impatiently: "My cell has an electronic lock! I've really seen it! It's the kind that swipes a card!"

"That's a long story. In fact, among the more than 2,000 people who underwent the test, he was the only one who succeeded. The others were in the same situation as you. Of course, we are still very humane here. The current and voltage are not that high, and the shock will not last too long. Once they can't hold on any longer, they can take off their helmets by themselves."

"So, you are still studying the reasons?" Xiao Kun calmed down a little, but his face still looked unhappy.

"Yes, but the reason should not be difficult to research. It is definitely faster than launching a satellite!" Team Leader Zhao seemed to be still using the procrastination tactic: "Believe me! Believe in the Garrison Bureau, we will definitely help you and rescue you!"

The most terrifying thing in the world is not despair, but giving you hope and then destroying it. Fortunately, Xiao Kun has long been accustomed to it.

Since ancient times, the only way to achieve hardship is death. Now I am not afraid of death anymore. I will just keep on trying. If I can really master such extraordinary martial arts, I will kill all the researchers in the base immediately! No one will be spared!
After another round of psychological therapy and a nice massage from a professional masseur, Xiao Kun finally felt better. He felt that his patience was countless times better than before.

After receiving the spirit stones and leaving the researcher, Xiao Kun went to the food street to eat a lot. Then he returned to his cave and prepared to meditate for a few weeks to promote digestion.

Well, the beef burgers here are pretty good, but the bread isn't fluffy enough, is that because they lack yeast? I saw some Spirit Plant players growing Spirit Wheat, but I've never seen this yeast produce anything.

Come to think of it, it seems that vegetables are indeed more expensive than meat in the food court. But it is understandable. Spiritual vegetables take time to grow, and meat is mostly produced by dungeons. Many of those monsters weigh over a ton. There are people dungeoning every day, and more and more people can pass the dungeons stably, so it is normal that the price of meat is lower than that of vegetables.

Fortunately, I like to eat meat! Although the color of the pork from the southwest corner is not quite right, a little too red, it smells good. I will buy some to try tomorrow.

……

The time for cultivation drifts away in my thoughts.

Suddenly, Xiao Kun seemed to hear a faint sound!
No, the caves are all single rooms! There is also a soundproof formation. It was very quiet before. What's going on with this sound? Why does it feel a little familiar?
The voice became louder, clearer, and easier to recognize. This is the voice of Team Leader Zhao and Doctor Zhou! But haven't they already entered the Intermediate College? The cave is not here, why can I hear their voices?

Looking out the window, the formation was functioning normally, with the water shimmering in the setting sun, but no human figures were visible.

Although he was a little skeptical, Xiao Kun still held his breath and listened to these words patiently:

Doctor Zhou: "Tell me, do you find it interesting to lie to them every day?"

Captain Zhao: "This is not a question of whether it is interesting or not, this is a question of making a contribution to the country!"

Doctor Zhou: "Isn't it just that they are being used for experiments? How is that different from making contributions?"

Captain Zhao: "Of course there is a difference! Would a normal person be willing to let someone open your skull and expose your brain to the air? Would a normal person write out a blueprint and ask someone to make something to shock him?"

Doctor Zhou: "It's all forced anyway, so what's the point of labeling them as foreign forces? You arrested them for research, can they still resist?"

Captain Zhao: "You're a psychologist, but people have limits to their psychological endurance, right? Didn't that woman go crazy after exceeding her limit? She couldn't even log into the game, and she was talking to herself like crazy all day long."

Captain Zhao: "But what about the others? If they knew that we, the Garrison Bureau, had captured them, would they have been able to hold on until now? I'm afraid they would have gone crazy a long time ago! It's because of me and us that we let them vent in the game, comforted them, and gave them hope that they would foolishly persist! Only then would they truly listen to us, maintain the will to survive, and conduct those cruel experiments!"

……

Xiao Kun could no longer hear the rest of the words. He just felt his head was buzzing. Tears flowed down unconsciously and landed directly on his chest, causing his strong and solid body to tremble uncontrollably.

All of this is fake! The one who kidnapped me was not a foreign force! It was the Garrison Bureau itself! This is a complete conspiracy of the Garrison Bureau!
I was wondering why there was a researcher with the same skin color as me who could speak Mandarin! It turned out that he was doing something for the Garrison Bureau and called me specifically!

Think about it, security drones are so advanced now. Back then, it was claimed that there were five drones per square kilometer, plus cameras everywhere. How could they be kidnapped directly by foreign forces, or even taken abroad?
It turns out that everything is fake! It's all a play put on by the Garrison Bureau! They just want us to become guinea pigs and be studied by them willingly!
The sadness and anger in my heart can no longer be suppressed!

The sun sank into the horizon, darkness enveloped the earth, and an invisible black aura also enveloped Cai Kun, wrapping him up completely, as if turning him into a shadow.

Now, Cai Kun had no thoughts in his mind. He only wanted to destroy, kill, and vent his endless anger.

Walking out of the cave silently, the darkness became the best protective color. Cai Kun saw a lone half-demon player with his red eyes. It seemed that he was planning to return to the dormitory.

Naturally, he couldn't go back to the dormitory. Cai Kun felt that the anger in his body had turned into fuel and burned fiercely, making him stronger and faster than ever before.

"kill!"

Without any nonsense, Cai Kun flew over and broke the half-demon player's neck in a flash.

Yes! That's it! That's the feeling! I just want to kill to my heart's content today!
Not far away, two players, a man and a woman, were sitting under a tree. I don’t know what they were talking about, but laughter could be heard from time to time.

Why can you guys be in love happily? Why can you guys enjoy such happiness? Why can I only be treated as a guinea pig and suffer torture every day?
"Go to hell! All of you go to hell!"

The force was unexpectedly great. A big hole appeared on the male player's chest. His heart was caught in his hand and crushed. The entire head of the female player shrank into her chest cavity and she fell straight down.

Too weak! Really too weak! Did the Garrison sacrifice us to protect these weaklings?
Why shouldn't they be the guinea pigs?
There were three more targets, talking and laughing, showing off the magic weapons in their hands from time to time, chatting with saliva flying.

"All the happy people should die!"

One blow crushed my head, two blows broke my neck, and the third blow was blocked by a magic weapon, but it doesn't matter! You must die here today! How can a mere flame compare to the rage in my heart? Die for me!

Oh no! We've wasted too much time here! We've been seen! A lot of people are surrounding us! Run!

Hahaha, it turns out that this black energy can be put away! What else is there to say! Just go back to the cave! I will go out and kill later!

Huh? Why are they all running north? Are they ignoring me? Let me climb up the tree and take a look...

That direction, that figure, is Lao Qi! Do you know the truth too? It's good to know, it's good to know! Let's kill together!

What the hell are you going back to? Aren't there four people who are alone over there? They are all half-demons, complete novices, all of them should die!
Aren't you going to study me? Why can't I study you? Are you still crying? I just want to see how your tail grows, can't you satisfy my curiosity? You have to make me tear your tail off!
Haha, your ears are interesting too, let me tear them off! And your eyes, who are you showing them to? Dig them out quickly!
Hahaha, your legs are weak and you can't run anymore? With this kind of mentality, are you qualified to play games? You have claws but you don't resist. Even if you die, it will be in vain!
As night falls, the killing is silent until a huge fireball rises, dispelling the darkness and allowing the light to return.

Is this the teacher? That’s how it feels. Come on! Come and kill me! Kill me if you can! I don’t want to live anymore! It’s okay to take someone with me!

Ah! What a fast sword! My body didn't fall? It turns out that the head is still there after being separated from the body...

"Hahaha"……

Xiao Kun suddenly woke up from his sleep and looked around with vigilance.

It was still the cell where the lights were never turned off, the lingering stench, the weakness that made it difficult to even sit up, and the pain that remained in the body that made people want to die...

I am still a prisoner, a guinea pig waiting to be experimented on.

But what happened in the game just now? Why did I become like that? Are those conversations real or fake?
Xiao Kun is a science student with higher education. He has always been very logical in doing things and is emotionally stable and calm. He didn't feel it in the game before, but now that he came out, he felt something was wrong.

The first thing that was wrong was the conversation. It was obviously impossible to hear such a conversation in the closed cave. Even if the conversation was real, why would those two people specially run to my cave and tell me what happened?
Second, that indiscriminate desire to kill is totally wrong! I know what it feels like to hate someone to the extreme and want to kill everyone, but it's definitely not this kind of indiscriminate killing of anyone you see!

Even if the conversation was true and he wanted revenge, he would not kill the players who could be resurrected. Instead, he should break into the research institute, kill those researchers, and destroy as much scientific research equipment as possible to hinder their research.

You can even go directly to Team Leader Zhao and Doctor Zhou and kill them both. There is no point in killing those passers-by. For the Garrison Bureau, it doesn't even count as a slight injury!
Third, my strength growth is not right. I fight every day, how can I not know what my strength is? I don't have the kind of strange strength that can hammer a person's head into the chest!

Obviously, the black energy wrapped around me is not right! I seem to have heard of some legends about black shadows causing chaos before, maybe this is it.

To sum up, the conversation I heard was most likely fake.

It was indeed foreign forces who captured him, and it was indeed foreign forces who studied him. Perhaps it was really like what Team Leader Zhao said, that complete network physical isolation was implemented here, so no matter how powerful the supercomputer AI was, it would not be able to detect him.

Although there is more than 80% chance that the conversation is fake, I still want to verify it!
Let’s start with the people. There must be a difference between pretending to be a foreigner and a real foreigner! I have to find the difference!
After completely escaping from the madness, Xiao Kun regained his sanity and took advantage of the time when his character was resurrected to do a series of tests. The results were pretty good. Although he was unable to confirm whether those white-skinned researchers were fake, he was able to determine through the light and the vortex in the toilet that he was in the southern hemisphere.

As we all know, my country currently has no territory in the Southern Hemisphere, and the Garrison Bureau should not be so generous as to send people to the Southern Hemisphere for experiments.

After enduring another day of electric shock tests, Xiao Kun's resurrection cooldown finally ended, and he was eligible to enter the game again.

Standing on the resurrection platform, feeling the breeze blowing, there were no crazy thoughts in my mind.

Sure enough, I was controlled by something!

What the hell is that? Are the people of the Immortal Lotus Sect not going to care? They can chop off my head, but not these ghosts?
The madness was gone, but the appetite was still there, so Xiao Kun walked towards the food street again.

Suddenly, many human figures appeared in the sky, and then a huge dragon shadow covered the sky. The enormous pressure made Xiao Kun lie on the ground, and he could only look at the sky by turning his head.

What's going on? What happened again?

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the entire ground tremble. Dark shadows grew out of the ground, rapidly floated toward the sky, and fell into the claws of the giant winged dragon that obscured the sky.

Light exploded from the claws, and countless black shadows disappeared.
