Chapter 643 Punishment Room

"Professor Chu, when did you enter Huangquan City?" Zhou Wen asked directly.

If this Chu He is really Professor Chu He from Imperial College, then the Professor Chu He who went to Zhuolu is likely to be a fake.

But the counterfeit goods have not been found for so long, which means that Professor Chu He should have come to the desert very early, so no one will see him again, otherwise the counterfeit goods should have been found long ago.

Inferring like this, Professor Chu He should have entered Huangquan City very early, otherwise he would definitely contact the outside world, and someone in the outside world should know that he was in the desert, not Zhuolu.

The fact is that no one knew about this situation, even Chu He's family thought he was in Zhuolu, which was very wrong.

If someone hadn't deliberately cut off Professor Chu He's connection with the outside world, it would be that he entered Yellow Spring City very early, so no one knew that he was here.

But with the three iron laws of Huangquan City, how did Professor Chu He survive?

"What time?" Professor Chu He looked at him strangely and said, "It's today, didn't you encounter a big sandstorm today?"

"Today? Then you didn't contact your family before you came in?" Zhou Wen asked in disbelief.

"There is no signal at all in the desert, how can I contact my family? About half a month ago, I went to a city outside to contact my family once. At that time, I was very excited to tell them that I had made a major discovery and soon I will go back to reunite with them, but I didn't expect..." Chu He's face was full of sadness.

This time Zhou Wen was completely stunned. Chu He had contacted his family half a month ago, so why didn't his family mention this matter? His family never mentioned what Chu He came to Taklama to do.

Now Zhou Wen can't wait to go back immediately and ask Chu He's family to find out what is going on.

In Zhou Wen's view, this is no accident. There are two professors Chu He appearing in different places. Someone must be controlling everything behind the scenes.

"Who is doing these things? If Chu He of the Zhuolu expedition team is fake, then what is the fake Chu He trying to do in the expedition team? Will the disappearance of the old principal be related to him?" Zhou Wen thought of this, thinking Instead, it came alive.

If someone really took the old principal, then the old principal might still be alive.

Liu Yun was a little anxious. Zhou Wen asked for a long time, but he didn't ask any serious questions. He had to ask himself: "Professor Chu, you came earlier than us, do you know what's going on here? It just appeared above. What the hell is that dimensional creature?"

"That is the city lord of Huangquan, and the copper bell on it will ring every hour, just like the clock at home, when the bell rings seven times a day, he will appear, throw the dice, and take a life... "Chu He said with trembling body.

"Wait, when you say the bell rings seven times a day, that means you've been here for more than a day, right?" Zhou Wen discovered the problem in Chu He's words.

Chu He said with a wry smile: "I also heard what others said. You saw it just now. The City Lord of Huangquan really appeared and took his life. Maybe it will be my turn tomorrow. But my worries are unnecessary. , I don't know if I can survive today, and I'm still worried about what to do tomorrow."

Liu Yun was suddenly disappointed. He originally thought he could find someone who understood and inquired about some information about Huangquan City, but who knew that Chu He actually entered Huangquan City on the same day as them, just a little earlier than them.

Taking a closer look at Chu He's feet, he found that he still had one hundred and thirty-two steps left, which was even less than Zhou Wen and the others.

"Professor Chu, have you heard anything about Huangquan City and City Lord Huangquan?" Liu Yun continued to ask unwillingly.

To Liu Yun's surprise, Chu He knew a lot more than he thought.

According to the news that Chu He heard, the three iron laws of Huangquan City must not be violated, or they will die immediately.

And the distance of a slate is a number, whether it is moving forward or backward, or repeatedly traversing left and right, it will be counted.

Once the number goes to zero, it means death is coming.

Chu He saw with his own eyes that a person blew himself up and died because the number was zero, exactly the same as the middle-aged man who just died.

It is said that there is only one way to leave Huangquan City alive, and that is to walk to the end of the long street, step on the stone steps, reach the Huangquan shrine, ring the bronze bell above, and then be able to leave Huangquan City.

"It's impossible. From here to the stone steps, there are at least two or three thousand stone slabs. We can't even reach the stone steps with such a few steps, let alone ring the copper bell when we walk on the stone steps. "Liu Yun said with a frown.

"It's not impossible to increase the number of steps. Just wait until the next hour, the gates on both sides of the long street will open, and then there will be a chance to get the number of steps." Chu He pointed to the closed gates next to them. said the building.

"Do those shops sell step counts? What are we going to buy? Is it money or dimensional crystals?" Liu Yun asked, looking at the shops on both sides of the long street.

"No, those are not shops, but torture chambers. You can be tortured in the torture chamber in exchange for the number of steps. The penalty in each torture chamber is different, and with different penalties, you can get a different number of steps..." Chu When He spoke, there was fear in his eyes.

Zhou Wen and Liu Yun were both dumbfounded. According to Chu He, there were various punishments such as branding, burning, and sword punishment in those torture chambers.

Being scorched on the chest with a red-hot iron block and scorching the flesh, this punishment can be exchanged for five steps.

There are also ten fingers with acupuncture, you can exchange for ten steps; scraping a piece of meat with a knife, you can get one step.

Although the various punishments do not require human life, they are heart-stopping to hear.

"So, as long as we can endure the pain, we can get enough steps to walk up the stone steps?" Liu Yun said.

"It's not entirely like this. Each punishment only has a step reward when it is punished for the first time." Chu He said.

Zhou Wen immediately went to count how many torture chambers there were on both sides of the street. According to the information Chu He had inquired, one torture chamber could only get about ten steps.

"Two hundred and thirty-nine torture chambers. If each torture chamber can get ten steps, then you can get more than 2,000 steps. With so many steps, can you walk up the stone steps?" Zhou Wen estimated in his heart, feeling It should be similar, but this is only an estimate and may not be accurate.

"Little Junior Brother, we seem to have made a mistake..." Liu Yun's face was a little ugly, and he also thought of the same problem as Zhou Wen.

The number of steps is very tense, I am afraid that all the torture chambers must be visited before it is possible to ascend the Huangquan Throne.

But they have come all the way, and they have missed a lot of torture chambers. If they walk back and walk back, they will waste a lot of steps, making the number of steps that are not many become even fewer.
