Chapter 224: One Thousand And Seventy-nine Times
“Shall we take a look at where they are?” An Yun said, then pressed a button.
Immediately, a projection appeared in the hospital room.
On the huge projection, the scene outside was clearly displayed.
The girl looked up and was immediately attracted by the scene on it.
Some people in the hospital room also quietly looked up at the huge projection, but when they saw what was on it, they were all stunned.
“Do you want to go out and see it with your own eyes?”
An Yun looked at the stunned crowd and invited them enthusiastically.
“This place was specially selected for you by the Star Lord. There are no outsiders.”
Hearing this, Zhu Li slowly raised her head and looked at the hovering projection.
The projection showed lush green grass, blue sky with white clouds, cute houses…
“I want to go outside and see if it’s really like this…” someone said, but their tone was full of sarcasm, as if they just wanted to prove that it was all fake.
An Yun didn’t get angry and said gently, “Sure.”
That person stood up and walked toward the door.
Gradually, more and more people stood up, slowly got off the beds, and walked outside.
Zhu Li saw everyone standing up. She looked at the projection, her eyelids drooping, slowly sat up, still holding the flower in her hand, and walked outside as well.
Lu Xi saw everyone walking outside and felt extremely excited.
This signaled that they had taken the first step. It was a very good sign!
Shi An’an turned around and saw that everyone in the hospital room had come out. She breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wali came over.
“Master.”
Hearing the unfamiliar voice, everyone looked over warily.
They saw a person flying in the air, without using any tools, just flying down from the sky.
“Master!”
Ever since Xi Meng left, Wali had been freed from his helper duties. He had been cultivating recently, and his cultivation level had improved somewhat.
Just now, he heard his master’s telepathic transmission asking him to come over, thinking it was something important, so he hurried over immediately.
Shi An’an saw her disciple’s cultivation level and was delighted in her heart. Her disciple’s cultivation had advanced, and as his master, she was happy for him.
“Mm, your cultivation has improved again. It seems like it won’t be long before you break through to Golden Core.”
Shi An’an was somewhat puzzled. Why, back in the Cultivation World, was everyone’s cultivation growth so slow and difficult?
But ever since coming to the Interstellar Era, whether it was her, Xiu, or Wali, their cultivation levels had all advanced very quickly.
This speed made her feel a bit uneasy.
This question had been in her mind for a long time. Later, one day while cultivating, she asked the Heavenly Dao in her heart.
At that time, she had a sudden realization and understood why their cultivation advanced so quickly.
It was because this world had no cultivators.
Spiritual energy was reviving, and the Heavenly Dao was newly formed. This was the Heavenly Dao’s gift.
Of course, the most important thing was that there weren’t that many people competing for spiritual energy.
In the Cultivation World, as the number of cultivators increased, the spiritual energy was divided more and more, so there was less to absorb.
But here, there were spirit stones in abundance, and no one competing for them. It would be hard not to advance in cultivation.
“I want to introduce you to them. Is that okay?”
Shi An’an asked for Wali’s opinion.
Wali had long known that this place was prepared for the victims from L01 Star.
He knew from his master that these people had weak survival instincts. Hearing his master’s question now, he immediately understood her intention.
Wali nodded. “Of course, I agree, Master.”
Shi An’an looked at Wali and saw that he truly agreed, so she turned to those people.
“Master, let me communicate with them myself.” Wali suddenly said.
Shi An’an thought about it and agreed.
Wali rose into the air and flew in front of these people.
The people from L01 Star looked at Wali warily. Wali looked at everyone, sympathy flashing in his eyes. He had once been like them…
“Hello, I’m Wali, from a garbage star in the N Galaxy.”
Hearing Wali speak, Zhu Li and the others didn’t care where he was from. They just felt some anger in their hearts. These people had just said there wouldn’t be any outsiders here!
Wali naturally sensed their hostility, but he remained composed and continued without pause. “I grew up on a garbage star. From childhood, I didn’t know who my parents were. I lived day to day hungry one meal and full the next, always afraid of others snatching my food.
It was tough, but I felt secure in my heart, because that was the place I grew up.
However, one night six years ago, I was captured by a group of people wearing white uniforms.”
At this point, someone was stunned and looked at Wali with doubt in their eyes.
Wali gave a bitter smile. “That’s right, I was taken to the experimental base on L01 Star, the same place where you were captured.
What I went through was probably similar to what you experienced…
Every day, they experimented on my body, cutting it open and stitching it back, cutting and stitching again…
Day after day, I don’t know how long I was imprisoned, but I remember how many times my body was cut!
One thousand and seventy-nine times!”
Zhu Li looked up at Wali’s body and said coldly, “You’re lying! There’s not a single scar on your body!”
Wali looked at Zhu Li and rolled up his sleeve, revealing smooth skin.
Wali looked at his arm and smiled. “Not anymore. Before, this whole area was covered in scars, but my master healed them all.”
“During the last experiment, I endured it and passed out. Those people thought I was dead and threw me into the black hole.
Oh, that black hole is what they use specifically to dispose of corpse garbage.
On the other side of the black hole are star beasts. Fortunately, those star beasts don’t eat corpses, so I survived.
Until… Master and the others came and rescued me.”
Wali looked at Shi An’an, gratitude shining in his eyes. “We came out to L01 Star, and you probably know what happened next.”
Zhu Li didn’t believe it in her heart, because everything Wali described didn’t seem real.
Wali looked at everyone. He knew some didn’t believe him. After all, encountering his master was such a miraculous stroke of luck that even now, he found it amazing.
“Before meeting Master, I lived every day in hatred. Only hatred kept me going.
After meeting Master, she taught me how to become stronger and let me take revenge myself!”
“Whether you believe it or not doesn’t matter to me. I’m just telling you my story.
Also, finally, I want to say that suicide is just a cowardly choice.
When you were tormented and hurt in the experimental base, you didn’t choose suicide. Why choose it now that you’ve been rescued?
You’ve endured such tragic experiences. I don’t know what harder things in the future you couldn’t overcome.”
