Chapter 142 Outsiders

In this... such a strange silence, the first thought that came to Derrick Berg when he came back to his senses was to save people.

However, the two guards who sandwiched him didn't respond at all, it seemed that everything just now was just his hallucination.

"There are people calling for help." The young Derrick reminded the two Dawn Knights.

Walking on his left, the tall knight in silver full-body armor responded calmly:

"Don't be fooled."

"That's just the normal behavior of some transcendent beings who are on the verge of losing control."

Yeah? Maybe he just didn't want to give up and turned into a monster out of control, that's why he screamed for help... Derrick thought sadly.

With the change of his mood, the illusory rumble in his ear became more and more obvious.

He walked a few steps forward in silence, and the Dawn Knight pointed to a door on the left and said:

"You are staying here during this time, and we will deliver food and medicine on time."

While speaking, he took out an iron black vial.

This kind of bottle is woven from the straw-like things left by black-faced grass, the staple food of the City of Silver. When it encounters liquid, it will produce a film, so as to achieve the effect of waterproof and sealing.

Derrick took the bottle of potion, and Gulu drank it, only to feel a burst of coolness slide down the esophagus and enter the stomach pouch.

His whole body quickly became quiet, the shaking scene in front of him returned to stability, and the auditory hallucinations in his ears gradually weakened.

bang!

With the sound of the iron door being closed and locked, Derrick entered the room that belonged to him.

The first thing he saw was a candle flickering with a dim yellow light, and then he clearly identified the low bed, chairs and square table.

Other than that, there is nothing else, but the surrounding walls, including the door, are engraved with complex and mysterious symbols and signs, which seem to form a complete seal.

Derrick's emotions were also suppressed by the potion, he sat down without any curiosity, and lay down on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly heard a violent knock on the door, but it didn't come from outside his room.

but from next door.

Derrick rolled over and sat up, listening carefully, and heard thin, sharp moaning and weeping amidst the sound of collisions.

His fine hair suddenly stood up, and he stood up abruptly, posing in a very defensive posture.

At this moment, the sound of thud thud thump spread to the metal wall separating the two rooms, smashing out one after another slowly shrinking bumps.

Derrick was about to pray for the Holy Light when his eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that the space he was in had been moved to the outside world, and it happened that lightning flashed across.

The sound of smashing the wall next door disappeared, and the bottom of the round tower returned to silence.

This is not absolute silence, but the silence where slight footsteps can be heard far away and reverberate for a long time.

Derrick was guessing what happened to the Extraordinary next door, but someone knocked on the metal wall on the other side.

Tuk tuk tuk!

It was as if someone had bent their fingers and tapped lightly.

"Who?" Derrick asked in a slightly frightened voice, raising his voice.

The knocking sound stopped immediately, and after a few seconds, a deep but rather old voice came indistinctly:

"It turned out to be a young guy."

"You are?" Seeing that the other party could communicate rationally, Derrick leaned closer to the wall and put his ear against the cold metal.

The old voice laughed and said:

"The person next to you almost lost control several times, and finally couldn't save it today."

He's completely out of control? Derrick asked through the metal wall:

"Then he's turned into a monster now?"

"No, it's not a monster, it's a dead body. He has been solved by the item sealed here." The old voice sighed, "I have been here for forty-two years, well, those guards told me that I have seen too many Too many things like that."

Derrick asked in surprise:

"You have been here for forty-two years?"

Normally speaking, loss of control can be divided into three stages. The first is the occurrence of precursors, such as auditory and visual hallucinations. The second is that the body and mind have become somewhat out of control, and they will show scary or weird states from time to time. The third is complete collapse. , transformed into a terrifying monster.

Among them, the transition from the second stage to the third stage is quite fast. Maybe just after discovering it, you will witness a seemingly normal Beyonder turning into a monster in the depths of darkness.

That is to say, after the Extraordinary in the second stage is sent to the bottom of the round tower, they will either undergo treatment with potions, rituals, etc., slowly stabilize, and leave here within a year and a half, or they will soon enter the round tower. Out of control, cleaned and purified, it is impossible for anyone to be locked here for forty-two years.

As for the Extraordinary in the first stage, it may only take a few days or ten days to eliminate the precursors and leave with a cure.

The old voice suddenly laughed and said:

"Yeah, I didn't expect that I would stay here for forty-two years."

"I didn't have any signs of losing control, but they thought I was quite dangerous and could turn into a monster at any time."

Derrick frowned slightly, and asked curiously:

"What happened forty-two years ago?"

At that time, neither of his parents was born.

The old voice said silently for a moment:

"I used to be the captain of an exploration team."

"We found a ruined city half a month away from the City of Silver. Heh, this is calculated at our speed."

"That city is similar to our Silver City. There are obvious traces of giants' rule, and they believe in the creator of everything, the all-knowing and all-powerful God."

"Unfortunately, they were destroyed, and they were destroyed not knowing how many years ago."

Derrick is no stranger to similar things, so he immediately guessed:

"You encountered some weird things there, so you are considered to be out of control at any time?"

"Almost." The old voice snorted, "After we explored the core area, we found that the city was trying to change its beliefs and created some gods that they imagined could save them. However, this was of no use. Even the statues of the gods were destroyed and scattered all over the ground."

Having said that, his tone suddenly became serious:

"Nevertheless, we met a man there."

"This is the first living person that we have met in Silver City that does not belong to our city-state for more than two thousand years!"

"Outside of the City of Silver, in the depths of the endless darkness, there are really still people alive!"

Derrick subconsciously asked:

"You brought him back to Silver City?"

The old voice said after two seconds:

"Don't you feel the vibration?"

"We in the City of Silver worked hard to explore the surroundings, just to find human beings like us, and we finally found it 42 years ago!"

This is indeed quite shocking news, but, but I often see Miss "Justice", Mr. "The Hanged Man" and the others. I often hear about the Loen Kingdom and the seven righteous gods. There are still people outside the City of Silver. And the city-state, and the kingdom, isn't it a very obvious fact? Derrick scratched his head, pretending to be shocked in an inexperienced tone:

"I, I didn't notice that just now."

"It's really unbelievable, besides the residents of Silver City, there are other people!"

"..." The old voice was silent for a while before saying, "Has the education in Silver City become so bad?"

Before Derrick could speak, he sighed and said to himself:

"We were wary of inviting that person to come to the City of Silver as a guest. After thinking about it, he agreed."

"We monitored and escorted him back along the road, but when we approached the City of Silver, he suddenly disappeared..."

"We searched all around, but couldn't find him, and after returning to Silver City, my team members, one by one, went crazy and lost control, all! All!"

"The six-member council suspects that we are all polluted by something. It suspects that that person is not a human being at all, but an evil spirit, or a monster. Therefore, they locked me here and came to check my status every once in a while. But they never told me what the problem was or let me out."

Derrick exhaled heavily and said:

"Do you remember what that man looked like?"

"...He looks very ordinary, without any special features, and his clothes are similar to ours. I can't remember his appearance at all except remembering that he is a male... However, the elders should be able to use extraordinary means to directly recover from my vague memory. I saw him in my memory." The old voice recalled for dozens of seconds, and said with a little pain.

Derrick asked casually:

"Then did he say what his name is? Did he communicate with you about his origin?"

The old voice said "hmm":

"He told us his name was..."

He paused and said:

"Amon."

…………

Sunday morning, factory area.

In the previous two days, Klein and Mike "visited" many places in the East District under the guidance of the old Kohler.

Mike has thus seen five or six people crowded into a room, and this is not the worst situation.

In the poorest places in the Eastern District, an ordinary bedroom can even sleep ten people. The precise division of ownership, such as the floor floor, the right to use during the day, and the right to use at night, amazed the reporter.

Moreover, poverty does not discriminate between men and women, places where people of different sexes are inevitably crowded together, certain things that are enough to go to court abound, and both men and women are constantly under threat of violence .

"... Dirty, crowded, stench, that's the most intuitive impression... I suspect that each of them has serious parasites in their bodies... In the most run-down neighborhoods, because the houses were built a long time ago, there is no dedicated access Sewers, feces, urine, vomit, etc. are all over the place. There is only one public toilet in one house, or one public toilet in one street..."

"They are so busy every day that they are extremely exhausted, but they can barely fill their stomachs and have no savings. As long as they are unemployed for a few days, they will fall into the abyss from which they cannot save themselves... I think that as long as they are given a little hope, they will not even be afraid Death..." Mike wrote in his investigative manuscript.

In addition, the homeless men who were driven away in the middle of the night and wandered the streets like living corpses, the girls who stood numbly on the street or in bars, and those alcoholics who indulged in alcoholism, did not hesitate to violence, and did not want to think about the future at all, are all given to them. The reporter was extremely impressed.

He became more and more silent.
