From the end of the world

Chapter 465 Human Ranch
In Liu Shuying's previous narration, there was a doubt that could not be ignored, that is, how did such a young Da Wuchang become enemies with Shan Liangyi?

Shan Liangyi was killed by the old boxing god a long time ago, and Liu Shuying only debuted four years ago. In the past four years, Shan Liangyi has been dormant. It may be because he has not grown enough to debut in this life, or it may be because he is afraid of the old boxing god and dare not show up. In the information I have, there is no sign of Liu Shuying and the Great Impermanence who is suspected to be Shan Liangyi.

Even if we leave out the shadow of the willow tree, the Great Impermanence suspected to be Shan Liangyi has not shown a single trace. Now in the demon hunter world, the only Great Impermanence recognized by everyone except Luoshan is Taoyuan Township Master, Xuanming, and Xu Gou. Not many people know that Shan Liangyi has been reincarnated in this era.

So, what if Liu Shuying had contact with Shan Liangyi not in the past but in the future and they formed a hatred for each other?

I think this is a direction that deserves considerable attention.

But looking at Liu Shuying's expression, I know that he will never admit that he is a time traveler or a reborn person. In many fantasy stories with similar themes, the protagonist with future memories will also try every means to conceal his information in this regard. Although I don't think Liu Shuying has to hide it, since he just doesn't want to say it, I can only turn the arrow around for the time being.

"I heard you've been out in the Arctic...are you looking for something there?" I asked.

"I can't say that." Liu Shuying refused quite bluntly.

"Didn't you just say that you would answer me to the best of your ability?" I asked.

"Because this is personal privacy. Just like I can't answer why there is an irreconcilable relationship between me and Shan Liangyi, I can't answer your question either," he said.

In that case, I don't think he would answer me what kind of breakthrough he had made in the Arctic and what kind of insurmountable difficulties he had encountered.

The matter concerns the divine seal, if I can get the answer so easily, it would be strange. Even if he is willing to tell me, whether I am willing to trust the information is another matter. It seems that I can only observe and test him slowly in the future, which is why I agreed to cooperate with him.

The more I observed, the more confused I became. Gua Tianshi and Lu Chan both judged without hesitation that Liu Shuying and I were of the same type of person, but it was difficult for me to resonate with this. How exactly were he and I similar?

It is easy to see the faults of others but difficult to see one’s own faults. “Oneself” is the most difficult to see clearly… Perhaps this is another verification of this statement?

It didn't take long before we arrived at our destination.

The setting sun had completely sunk on the other side of the horizon, and the sky turned black. We were now deep in a large wasteland, and in the distance there was a large group of buildings that looked like a huge monster crawling in the darkness. That was the Luoshan branch base that we were targeting.

The building complex is surrounded by a high wall with barbed wire on top. A bird landed on it and the barbed wire burst into a violent electric light, turning the bird into charcoal. It was obviously powered by high voltage electricity. The only way to the inside is a black iron gate, which exudes a cold and oppressive feeling.

Whether it's the location of the building complex or the first impression it gives, this branch base is like a large prison. It's very difficult to enter it, and it's probably even more difficult to leave it. Needless to say, obstacles of this level are no different from non-existent to us.

Liu Shuying frowned slightly and said, "Okay, what should we do now... To be honest, it's beyond my expectation that it went this smoothly. I originally planned to spend some time searching the suspect list one by one, but now my plan has been disrupted..."

"Why, can't we just go in and investigate?" I asked, "Or do you think that if we alert the people inside, the traitor hiding in this branch base will report the information and destroy the clues related to Taoyuan Township in his hands?"

"That won't happen. According to the information I have, there are no people at the Great Perfection level in this branch base. As for those demon hunters who are still in the level of Formation, Destruction, Emptiness, etc., as long as we think about it, we can make them all blind." Liu Shuying said, "The problem is that the Lord of Taoyuan will not do that."

"You mean, the Lord of Taoyuan Village, who is far away, might be aware of our investigation?" I asked.

"Yes. If the clues this branch base can provide us are not enough to support us to track down the Lord of Taoyuan Township, it should not trigger his vigilance, and vice versa. But isn't our goal such clues?" Liu Shuying said, "If we search with an unclear mindset, it would be another matter. Now we know clearly that there is a ghost here, and under the condition that we are being tracked by two great impermanence at the same time, it is hard to imagine that the Lord of Taoyuan Township would have no sense. "The other party is a person who was able to develop Taoyuan Township under Luo Shan's rule, and it is even very likely that he is Shan Liangyi himself... If he was caught so easily, Fa Zheng would have joined forces with several other great impermanence to kill him.

"When Xuanming was still in Luoshan, he teamed up with Gua Tianshi, Fa Zheng, and Jian Feixian to hunt down the Taoyuan Township Lord, but they never caught the other party's true form.

"The reason why I only cooperated with you this time and did not call on more Great Impermanence is because if there were too many participants, I'm afraid that the Taoyuan Township Master, who is somewhere unknown, would have sensed the murderous intent during the discussion at Luoshan headquarters."

It turns out that Xuanming also doesn't like the Lord of Taoyuan.

"Just standing here doing nothing is not a solution. Let's first take a look at the situation inside the branch base from the outside. This level should not trigger the Taoyuan Village Lord's vigilance, right?" I said.

Willow Shadow nodded, and focused his gaze on that spot. I also focused my attention a little, trying to sense it.

There is a barrier outside the branch base to prevent detection. If you force your perception to penetrate it, your mind will destroy the barrier itself, causing the bad result of alerting the enemy. However, I am no longer the me of the Great Perfection stage, and I will no longer be helpless against this barrier.

Now, I have a high level of understanding of "space" that cannot be described in human language. Looking down from this level, this level of anti-detection barrier is like a circle drawn on paper. My perception directly transcends the barrier. In just a moment, I have scanned the situation inside the branch base clearly.

Then I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, while Liu Shuying nodded and said thoughtfully: "So that's what those extreme transcendentalists want to do?

"No, this is just an experimental environment in the exploratory stage. There are many extreme and chaotic parts. That's why it's so undignified... Fa Zheng will definitely be furious when he sees these things."

My perception can not only scan the internal situation, but also vaguely perceive the psychological activities of countless people in it, and combine the clues and obscure causal changes to try to infer what changes may have occurred in the past.

The countless incidents that occurred in this branch base can be summed up in one word: "hell on earth."

A large number of ordinary people were kidnapped here and treated worse than animals. The description of it as a flesh factory seems lukewarm.

In the eyes of extreme transcendentalists, the flesh, bones and blood of mortals have their value in processing and utilization, and even the soul can provide energy. In most cases, mana is the power of the soul, which is a power that everyone has. The difference between mortals and demon hunters is whether they can actively use it.

As long as mortals are given excessive perceptual and emotional stimulation, their souls will become unstable. Many people become extremely depressed after experiencing great changes in their lives, because the strength of their souls is greatly lost in the process. Demon hunters can collect this "emotional energy" through props and rituals.

It is much easier to make a person miserable and desperate than to make him happy and hopeful. The people abducted inside are trapped in a cruel situation where they can neither live nor die. The extraordinary people in this branch base seem to classify the abductees into different levels. People of low levels can die quickly, while people of high levels will continue to grow flesh and blood tissues under the effect of healing spells, and then be harvested continuously.

It seems that some of those transcendental demon hunters who despise mortal science are actually seriously studying science, especially brain science and genetic science.

Listening to their conversation, it seems that they have only been learning these scientific knowledge for a short time, with the shortest being only two or three weeks and the longest being less than half a year. However, now they seem to be top experts in related disciplines, and have even developed a lot of new technologies in their spare time that are shocking enough to shock the world.

These new technologies of brain science and genetic science were not spread to the outside world, but were "imaginatively" applied in this hell on earth, creating more flesh and blood and terror.

In addition, it can be seen that some of the demon hunters in the management seem to be learning knowledge in social sciences. Although they have not made as fast progress in this area as in science knowledge, they have obviously mastered some of it and viciously put it into practice on the victims.
