Chapter 388 The Life of the Remnant Soul Is Also Life
All the killing machines seemed to be controlled by invisible hands, which was really scary.
One after another, the monsters were electrocuted to death, bled, skinned, and cut.
The meat and bones were separated, packed into boxes one after another, and neatly stored in warehouses one after another.
The boxes were stacked one on top of the other, as if they were one urn after another.
After slaughtering a monster beast, a new cage will appear out of thin air at the very beginning, with an ordinary animal randomly placed in it.
Then, a fragment of a human soul is injected into the animal's body.
Now, a naked question faced Li Ge.
Why were he and Yao Wenmao the only ones who didn't turn into animals?
The answer seems simple.
Only his and Yao Wenmao's souls are complete.
The souls of other people have all been cut off.
"What is the Shensheng Biological Group doing..."
Li Ge murmured to himself, guessing the intentions of the Bioscientific Group.
Is cutting up human souls just to quickly produce monsters?
In this day and age, where are the monsters?
At this moment, Yao Wenmao suddenly floated over in panic from a distance.
"It's not good! Mr. Li! It's not good!"
"What happened?"
"Those who came with us... seem to be starting to become stupid!"
…
In front of Li Ge, in rows of cages, animals that had just retained human reason and thinking lowered their heads and desperately ate the food in the troughs.
Rows of heads in front of them poked their heads out of the cages, all with their heads lowered, showing no trace of human dignity.
And they really don't think of themselves as human beings anymore.
Li Ge just tried to interrupt their eating process, but they were growled and threatened.
They have lost their human thinking.
"What on earth is this?" Yao Wenmao, I couldn't hold it any longer and reached out to touch the sticky liquid in the stone trough.
"Stop!" Li Ge grabbed Yao Wenmao, "Have you decided what kind of beast you want to become?"
Li Ge guessed that the reason why these people lost their minds was probably because of the strange food in the stone trough.
That kind of thing is very likely to directly affect the soul. If Yao Wenmao reaches out to touch it directly, it is simply a model of committing suicide.
And it's both stupid and pretentious.
"How could they eat these things without warning?"
Li Ge asked Yao Wenmao coldly.
The characteristics of these green liquids were so obvious that even after being in the Hungry Ghost Realm for a moment, I was able to identify their source! How could those workers who had been working at Hungry Ghost Road for a long time not recognize them?
If they were recognized, why would they join the eating team without any grudges and lose their human reason and thinking?
"I...I don't know, they suddenly looked very greedy..."
"Looking very greedy?"
——In other words, this liquid is extremely attractive to animals in cages.
"By the way! Where is Jiang Haicheng's remaining soul?"
"Could he be possessed by these beasts too?"
"Don't tell me that Jiang Haicheng's remnant soul returned to his heart like an arrow, just to come here and become a beast!"
…
Li Ge sat there, looking at the clattering pipes and the caged animals immersed in eating, and sighed helplessly.
Li Ge needs to think carefully about the current situation.
Nowadays the space is small and quite eerie.
Li Ge guessed that he was probably still in the dimensional space, and that he was in a deeper space than the hungry ghost.
If this is the case, this space must be of the same nature as the hungry ghost realm, one of the six realms.
As for which one it is?
Li Ge looked around, seeing all kinds of animals, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
——Do you still need to think about it? It must be the way of animals.
The Divine Creature Group uses animal channels to quickly cultivate monsters for slaughter.
If you just raise ordinary monsters, there would be no problem.
It's just... they used human soul fragments.
"In other words, in addition to natural evolution, there is another way for animals to quickly evolve into monsters."
"That means...a monster contains human soul fragments?"
Li Ge murmured to himself, trying to sort out the logic.
"Is there anything special about the human soul?"
"The human soul..."
Suddenly, Li Ge suddenly stood up from the ground.
"By the way, after those monster beasts were slaughtered, where did the human soul fragments in the monster beasts go?"
Li Ge saw with his own eyes the fur, bones, flesh and blood of those monster beasts, as well as various special parts such as scales, being packaged.
But only the soul is missing.
"There must be an exit here."
"Where did those souls go?"
Li Ge patrolled the warehouse, enduring the smell of blood lingering in his nose, trying to find some clues.
"kill……"
Vaguely, Li Ge seemed to hear a distant and vague voice.
Li Ge looked up and saw several dark vents scattered on the wall at the top of the warehouse.
Listening together, those sounds seemed to be coming from the exhaust vents.
"Could it be...that this is it?"
The exhaust hole is only about ten centimeters in diameter, and when you look inside, you can't see any light.
However, if you listen carefully, you can indeed hear the sound of air flowing.
But...the shouting of killing was not heard again.
——What you just heard may just be the wind.
Li Ge speculated secretly.
However, now that he has found a way out, Li Ge wants to take a look anyway.
…
In a space, countless faint flames floated in the air out of thin air, illuminating the entire dim space so that it could barely be seen clearly.
However, such a space is not quiet.
Cries of death and screams were intertwined all the time.
When Li Ge got closer, he felt that these sounds were really harsh.
When I finally came out of the long passage, I was shocked by the scene in front of me.
Countless mutilated people... or rather souls, they bit each other selflessly, but they didn't know why.
In the distance, various ancient and huge instruments operate out of thin air.
The big stick that keeps beating, the cauldron that is burning and boiling below, the guillotine that appears out of thin air and then falls quickly...
These things are controlled by no one, but they never stop.
All the remaining souls fight their own way.
Except when a remnant soul was defeated, the others swarmed up like wild dogs, tore up the immobile remnant soul and threw it onto the nearest torture device.
Li Ge looked at all this with a numb expression.
"Oh. Hell."
Unexpected and reasonable.
...Okay, actually it’s not that unexpected.
"It's just... did this ancestor use the Six Paths casually, or did he have a long-term plan?"
"He took the souls of so many people and cut them into pieces. He actually threw so many of them into the hell realm and let them kill each other?"
"Is it possible that you are raising gu?"
At this moment, Li Ge saw a very special soul among these crazy remnant souls.
The soul also lacked arms and legs, but it did not attack everything around it crazily.
On the contrary, he was avoiding carefully, ensuring that there was enough distance between himself and other souls to avoid being attacked.
"This person is..."
"Jiang Haicheng?!"
Li Ge's eyes widened and he quickly drifted over.
"Jiang Haicheng!"
Jiang Haicheng was so frightened that he trembled. He turned around and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Li Ge.
"It turns out to be Mr. Li."
"Do you know where your remaining soul is?" Li Ge asked.
Jiang Haicheng nodded: "I'm back."
"what happened?"
Jiang Haicheng smiled bitterly.
"As you can see. I'm locked up in hell."
"I can't leave here with my ability. I have to inject some information into my cut-off soul. I just hope they can find a way after they get out."
"The soul has been cut into seventeen or eighteen pieces, and only this one has come back."
"Then..." Li Ge suddenly thought of what Jiang Haicheng said before.
——Seventeen people have died for you.
"He said seventeen people died for me, but they all ended up being your soul pieces?!"
"This... I didn't teach him." Jiang Haicheng scratched his head, "There will always be some mistakes in the memory of the soul piece. Maybe it was his own thought..."
Li Ge's facial muscles began to twitch uncontrollably.
He clenched his fists, resisting the urge to hit someone with his itchy hands.
"So, you caused such a big thing just to let me save you?! How did you know that I would come to save you?!"
Jiang Haicheng smiled sheepishly: "Xuanmen disciples always have some special methods."
"What's more, it's not just for me." Jiang Haicheng explained with a guilty conscience, "I discovered the shocking conspiracy of the Shensheng Biological Group, that's why I was imprisoned here."
"If I die, I don't know how many people will be unlucky!"
…
Amidst the sounds of fighting, Li Ge and Jiang Haicheng found a relatively secluded place and sat down quietly.
Li Ge wanted to hear what Jiang Haicheng wanted to say.
However, Li Ge heard an appalling statement.
"The Shensheng Biological Group has cooperated with our spiritual practice community for a long time. In fact, this matter is not a secret."
"However, the world of cultivation is actually already a pile of ruins, and before the arrival of the era of great evolution, no one can really cultivate anything."
"So, before the era of great evolution, our group of disciples were just memorizing the unrealistic books left by our ancestors and talking on paper. In fact, the most important thing is to work together as a group to make money... Like the Jiang family where I am. I still rely on the real estate business to make a living.”
"Who knew that when the era of great evolution comes, all those things will become real."
"But so what if it's true? Those things often take hundreds of thousands of years to practice. The time we spend practicing is nothing!"
"So... the Shensheng Biological Group said there is a way to speed up our practice, and we were also moved."
"So the cooperation started like this?" Li Ge interjected and asked.
"Yes." Jiang Haicheng nodded, "In the era of great evolution, who doesn't want to have more chips?"
"In today's world...the only bargaining chip is strength."
