Chapter 581 [Chapter of the Fatal Game] Thirty-one: Reflection

Chen Yan can clearly feel his current state:

As the "raw material", the loss of control catalyzed by the mermaid mouthpiece has not decreased, but with the evolution of the inspiration organ, the upper limit of the loss of control that it can bear has become higher, so the impact of loss of control on itself has temporarily become very small and almost disappeared.

Without being affected by the loss of control, some key clues from the past emerged in his mind, allowing Chen Yan to make some guesses about his previous state.

'I have become countless, it can also be said that my spirit has become countless. This change does not come from my own loss of control, nor is it the result of my own ability being out of control and enhanced.'

‘After excluding these two situations, there is only one possibility left:

I turned into countless people because I was influenced by the zombie boy in the fungus city in another world.’

'Is it some kind of zombie virus that can cause mental proliferation?'

‘The most likely thing is a zombie virus. Only zombie viruses meet the consequences of [infection and causing cells to rapidly mutate and produce new types of individuals].’

'It's just that this zombie virus is different from the zombie virus I imagined. It doesn't turn people into zombies, but turns people into something else.'

When Chen Yan recalled the past, all his memories were clearly visible.

'The broken pupils are the best proof - after coming into contact with the zombie boy, when I lost control again, my pupils were broken. This is a sign of being infected with this zombie virus.'

'But later on, I didn't become a zombie like him.'

'Before leaving Germ City, the zombie boy told me that I would have abnormalities for a period of time, but the abnormalities would disappear soon - he may be referring to my previous situation where I lost control and lost my mind.'

'Does his warning mean that this virus is controllable?'

'He controlled the reproduction cycle of the virus, so the virus stopped at the key replication node and did not continue to cause deeper infection, so I did not become like a zombie like him.'

Chen Yan realized that he could only speculate on the motivations and processes of the zombie boy's behavior based on his own worldview and knowledge.

But the basic material structure of the world he lives in and the world where the zombie boy lives are likely to be different, and the scientific structure based on the material structure is also likely to be different.

So, using one's own view of knowledge to speculate on the source of a virus-like infection in the world where the zombie boy lives is absurd, and the inferred results are highly unlikely to be true.

'Although there is no way to speculate on the specific process, I can see the result - the abnormality on my body disappeared after a period of time as the zombie boy said.'

'Now when I think back to the past few days of my madness, I can clearly feel the changes in myself - what affected my spirit was not just the virus from the zombie boy, but also the loss of control.

The combination of the two resulted in my various strange behaviors and crazy mental state.’

'I think that the appearance of so many selves must also have the effect of losing control - the appearance of so many selves also has the effect of extraordinary power.'

'Is it possible that extraordinary power acted on the zombie virus, and the two interacted with each other and affected me together, causing the emergence of so many spiritual aspects of me?'

Chen Yan felt that this was the most reliable guess.

But he didn't know anything about zombie viruses, and he couldn't find any corresponding evidence for this speculation.

He thought of the Transcendence Gate fragment next to his desk in the apartment at No. 33 Walker Street. He might be able to let Jack Baldo wear the Evil Eye Ring, use the flames generated by the undead burning to activate the portal fragment again, and then

Go to Fungus City through the coordinates in the portal fragments...

But what's the point?

The technological level of that world was so high, the environment was so dangerous, and natural disasters were raging that it couldn't even be used as a retreat.

In silent thinking, time passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, at 11 o'clock in the evening, high-voltage electricity was really connected to the security door of Cell No. 010. A prisoner who was quietly leaning on the door to peek inside was turned into coke on the spot.

The lightning scares the prisoners, just like the thunder and lightning in the sky scares the beasts in nature. The flickering electric sparks and the buzzing sound of electricity let the prisoners know that this place cannot be touched, so they maintain awe of death.

Stay away from Cell 010.

Chen Yan tried to comfort Frank and the gargoyle with gentle whispers, but he succeeded immediately and did not cause any discomfort to them.

It seems that the effect of whispering is related to the tone.

He knew from this that the strength of his tone was linked to the intensity of inspiration released from his throat.

So in the final analysis, it’s still a question of intensity of inspiration.

The cell area was still chaotic, and there was silence in Cell 010. The various sounds from the prisoners gradually turned into meaningless white noise. After warning Klein in a whisper not to kill him, Chen Yan fell asleep like this.

past.

…

…

At 5:30 the next morning, the instructor's whistle woke Chen Yan up on time, and the cell area had become no different from before - although a small number of prisoners were missing, the remaining ones seemed not to remember at all.

With the presence of those people, their positions were filled step by step, and the entire roll call team became a standard rectangular matrix again.

Chen Yan saw a large bonfire in the center of the cell area last night, but today there were no obvious signs of fire in the center of the cell area.

After taking a closer look, he saw some burn marks on the floor, but these marks were already quite faint and had obviously been treated with special means.

'This prison was originally designed to hold extraordinary people, so they must have some special means of dealing with funeral arrangements.'

He looked at the prisoners around him with more or less blank eyes, and thought, maybe this is the result of drinking sheep whip soup?

'Ordinary sheep whip soup does not have this effect of erasing memory. They must have specially treated this kind of thing or added some ingredients to achieve this effect.'

The task assigned to Chen Yan today was to repair the building that collapsed last night in the ventilation area.

Most of the prisoners have been assigned this task. It seems that the prisoners accidentally destroyed a certain building in order to escape from prison last night?

When Chen Yan came to the release area, he realized the truth of the matter.

The release area is actually a large battlefield surrounded by spiked wire fences. According to the prison system, prisoners have at least 5 hours of release time every day.

But since the current warden took office, he has found a lot of outsourced work for the prison, so the prisoners have to stay in the workroom 12 hours a day and no longer have time to rest in the release area.

This warden made a fortune, and the outsourcing system drained the energy of the prisoners, resulting in a significant reduction in fights within the prison, and the fights between the prisoners' self-established hills almost completely calmed down.

When the prisoners did not cause trouble, the work intensity of the prison guards decreased. The warden took advantage of this situation and reduced the number of prison guards, thus saving another amount of money.

If the prisoners do not cause trouble, they do not need to maintain the facilities that protect their personal rights, thus saving maintenance costs——

Take the ventilation area for example. There are two basketball courts in the entire area, covering an area of ​​almost more than 800 square meters, and several sports equipment. Although the money to control and maintain this area is not much, it is not a small amount accumulated over many years.

When Chen Yan came here, he only saw that the wild grass had grown more than two meters high.

The prisoners cursed the warden in a low voice for not being a good person. The endless slurs from various ethnic groups opened Chen Yan's eyes, and he felt that something unexpected was yet to come——

In today's work mission, the collapsed building was not due to the prisoners' carnival last night, but due to the collapse of the ground surface.

Chen Yan stood around the collapse area and saw that the sand under the collapse area was faintly soaked in muddy water. The muddy water was stinky. Isn't this exactly what he smelled in the sewer last night?!

So, what caused the collapse was the fight between the Sun Knights and Baglay last night!

Chen Yan looked deep into the collapse area and saw that the sand there had obvious traces of being processed. It should be that the prison management staff had processed the mermaid skeletons so that no more curses would occur.

And with such a large landslide area and collapsed buildings, if we want to clean it all, we will probably need an excavator - the rental fee will be a lot of money.

The prisoners have perfectly replaced the machines. The most important thing is that they do not have to pay corresponding labor fees. Even though most of them have not done such physical work and are not very efficient, the most indispensable thing in the prison is time, and the warden has enough for them.

of patience.

According to the supervisor, the prisoners need to clean up the debris of the collapsed building near the collapse area, fill the entire collapse area with stones, wood and plastic debris accumulated before the prison, and cover it with a layer of cement.

This is quite a large amount of work.

Although the prisoners complained in their hearts, no one dared to be lazy, because there are many ways to punish people in prison, and often no violence is needed to make people experience despair - Chen Yan heard that this is how the solitary room exists.

After starting work, a familiar figure gradually approached Chen Yan and came to his side.

It's William the Great.
