Chapter 592 The Price of the Abyss
Gu Mingshi opened the box. Almost as soon as the box was opened, a black, sticky solid spilled out, flowing to the ground like asphalt.
And the box is still secreting.
Gu Mingshi used a wooden stick to peel off the black flames, revealing an obsidian-like object as big as a fist.
"Is this the Heart of Black Flame you are talking about?" Jiang You asked.
Gu Mingshi nodded.
"But what's the use of this thing of mine? I'm not interested in locking up prisoners." Jiang You waved his hand, "Captain, Da Zhuang, drag him out, lock him up and sell him to the high priest. This time, all of a sudden, the relationship between us The debt should be settled in full."
"Meow!"
A huge head poked its way in from the window, hooking its claws on Gu Mingshi and about to drag him out.
Gu Mingshi saw this and said quickly.
"You broke into Four Seasons Valley for the sake of fire, right?"
Seeing that Jiang You didn't deny it, he continued.
"If I say that Black Flame and Fire come from the same place, do you think this is valuable enough?!"
"What you can get by selling me to Dawn Tower is nothing more than crystal cores, but the value of Black Flame cannot be measured by crystal cores at all. You will definitely regret it if you send me back!"
He struggled and screamed.
He grabbed the armrests of the sofa with both hands to prevent himself from being dragged out easily.
Jiang You turned his head suddenly, his eyes piercing the opponent like sharp swords, "What did you say?"
“The high priest is very confident in the Black Flame Prison and has always felt that I can’t escape in this life, so he never avoids me when he talks, which also lets me know a lot of things that I shouldn’t know.
This heart of black flame comes from the abyss! "
“The reason why the high priest was able to create the Tower of Dawn that is comparable to the other two bases without any background knowledge is just because he obtained the Heart of Black Flame!
The reason why he disdains fire is because he has the heart of black flames.
The power of the four high priests of Dawn Tower and the eight tower masters all come from the Heart of Black Flame! "
"He made an exchange with the Abyss and has obtained the power he dreamed of, so of course he doesn't care about the unknown fire!"
Gu Mingshi finished a long sentence in one breath, and Jiang You raised his hand.
"Da Zhuang, get out."
The ferocious cat left without feeling satisfied.
"You just said that the heart of black flames comes from the abyss like fire?" Jiang You stared at the man in front of him seriously.
"Correct!"
Gu Mingshi nodded, "What Lan Yin brought out from the laboratory was not only fire, but also the Heart of Black Flame!
It was precisely because of the isolation effect of the Heart of Black Flame that she did not mutate!
But the first person who rushed to contact Lan Yin secretly hid the Heart of Black Flame in her hand, and those who rushed behind only noticed the sealed box she was holding.
So the Heart of Black Flame was taken away like this. As for why it fell into the hands of the high priest later, I don’t know. "
Jiang You stretched out his hand and said, "Show me the box."
Gu Mingshi closed the wooden box with his backhand and put it into the space. "When we negotiate the terms, the box will be yours."
Jiang You, "How can I believe that you are telling the truth?"
Gu Mingshi was silent and was about to speak when Yue Yue suddenly spoke, "I can prove it."
"Jiuyue, you don't have to be like this." Gu Mingshi looked at her.
Jiuyue shook her head at him, "Since I said I would help you, I will do what I said."
She stood up from the sofa, took a deep look at Jiang You, and repeated again, "I can prove it."
She unbuttoned her shirt, took off her clothes and pants, and turned her naked back to Jiang You.
There were deep cracks all over her back, from her tailbone to her shoulders.
It's like cracked land, deep and shallow, crisscrossed.
These cracks are very deep, and clear muscle tissue can be seen in the wounds, and even bones can be seen in some places.
But the strange thing is that there is not a drop of blood in these wounds.
"Isn't it weird?" September smiled lowly, "Are you wondering why there is no blood in these wounds?"
Jiang You, "What does this have to do with Black Flame?"
"Of course it does matter!"
Jiuyue turned around suddenly, not caring about her naked body at all, and said sternly, "The high priest, the four high priests, the owner of the eighth building, everyone has this thing on their backs!"
Gu Mingshi put some clothes on her and helped her sit on the sofa.
September, "This is the curse of the abyss. The high priest used the black flame as a medium to trade with the abyss and obtained a very mysterious power.
But all power comes at a price!
And this thing in us is part of the price. "
She fell into memories and remembered many things from the past.
"After the apocalypse broke out, the number of friends we walked out of the orphanage became fewer and fewer. Maybe we have awakened a special ability that can predict danger at certain times.
But his ability was not stable at first, and he had to rest for a long time after each use before he could use it again.
His ability has helped us avoid many dangers. Without him, everyone might have died long ago.
But even if you survive, you will still face a life-and-death crisis at any time..."
"We were so hungry that we ate dirt, paper, weeds, rats and cockroaches in the sewers...
Just when we thought our days would go on like this forever, he suddenly disappeared for a few days. When he came back, he happily told us that he had found strength for us, powerful strength..."
"We were very confused at the time, how can one person help others obtain superpowers? As far as I know, superpowers are all awakened by oneself...
But later, he really did it...
......"
September stretched out her hand, her weak, boneless fingers were slender and white, but each nail was glowing with a faint black color.
Jiang You didn't think that was the color of manicure.
She continued, "Since you have a relationship with the high priest, you must have met Suzaku. Suzaku is almost inseparable from the high priest.
His fingernails are the same as mine.
The four high priests and the eight building masters are all the same.
The cracks on our backs and the color of our fingernails are all evidence of being fused with the power of the abyss. "
"From the day we gain power, the more frequently we use our powers, the more closely our bodies will integrate with the black flames, until they finally completely turn into black flames.
When we have used the power of the abyss, we must return ourselves to it.
At first, there were only one or two cracks on my back, but now they have started to spread over my shoulders...
Lord Wu was the first person to turn into black flames. I watched him melt into a puddle of black water in front of me. "
Jiang You asked her, "Everything in this world has a price. Isn't that normal? You can't expect pie to fall from the sky. Maybe I can find strength for you. You should be happy."
How many survivors without superpowers can survive to this day?
Just now, you said that the high priest helped you gain power. What was it? "
September, "Everyone has different abilities. For example, Suzaku, her ability is shadow. She can hide in anyone's shadow without being discovered. When she becomes a shadow, she is invincible. Because no weapon can Hurt the shadow.”
"What about you?" Jiang You asked, "What is your ability?"
