I have a city in another world

Chapter 6558: The Envy of the Evil Prisoners

In the prisoner-of-war camp outside the city, there were a large number of evil prisoners with collars around their necks.

The torture instruments they wore were of a more restrictive version, with long thin silk threads piercing into the body's meridians.

There are more than 300 of them in total, controlling every part of the body and providing all-round monitoring of the captives.

Once any violation is detected by the system monitoring inside the torture device, the punishment mode will be activated immediately.

Inside the prisoner-of-war camps, it was common to see prisoners screaming, collapsing to the ground and twitching and wailing.

Such situations occur because of violating the rules, which will result in different degrees of punishment.

Once you experience punishment like this, you never want to experience it again.

Under the intimidation of the confinement collars, the evil prisoners all became obedient and followed the instructions.

Under the supervision of the Scourge Skeleton, the evil monks kept picking up stones and cleared out a flat area.

When encountering large rocks or collapsed buildings, a group of evil monks are needed to cooperate.

While shouting slogans, he relied on his physical strength to slowly move it to another place.

Since they could not use their magic power and could not drive away the evil monsters, many evil prisoners were exhausted and out of breath.

Such work has never been done by evil monks. It is clearly something that only lowly mortals do.

They knew in their hearts that this was done intentionally by the gathering place, which would only consume the prisoners' physical strength, grind away their spirits, and make them as sensible and obedient as livestock.

Although he was very unwilling, he could only obey the manipulation and did not dare to raise any thoughts of resistance.

Once you enter a prisoner-of-war camp, you have no choice but to obey orders and endure the hardship.

At the same time, I prayed secretly, hoping to save my life and regain my freedom one day.

Not long after, the evil prisoners learned another thing: it turned out that there were actually quite a few evil monks who surrendered inside this gathering place.

The gathering place received them and arranged various jobs for them, without having to participate in any punitive physical labor.

The evil prisoners secretly despised these traitors. They only surrendered, but those guys were traitors. The two were completely different concepts.

When one day they return to the Haoyue Realm, the situations of both parties will be completely different.

The act of surrendering after a fierce battle can be considered excusable, just to preserve a useful body.

Once you’re out of the dark realm, there’s no need to worry too much and just think of it as a nightmare.

However, an act of treason cannot be easily exposed, and the sect's elders will definitely pursue it to the end.

By that time, these foolish guys with weak wills will definitely pay a heavy price.

But not long after, the prisoners learned another piece of news.

It is said that the evil monks who joined the gathering place received a lot of benefits, not because they were weak-willed, but because the benefits given by the enemy were too many and too good.

Many evil prisoners scoffed at such statements, believing that they were just deceiving fools.

What benefits can you really get by choosing to surrender to the gathering place?
Even if there are real benefits, the biggest challenge is how to take them away.

When the dark realm dissipates, the evil monks will return collectively, and they will not be able to take their flesh and blood bodies or any belongings with them.

The evil monks whose spirits have descended will eventually have to return to the Haoyue Realm instead of staying in this world.

If we force ourselves to stay, the consequences will be disastrous.

Before the dark realm shrinks and disappears, the flesh and blood bodies of the evil monks will collectively lose control, and they will remain in the dark realm and unable to go out.

Even if one is in the outside world, the evil body will automatically return to the dark realm, and the cultivator's soul will not be able to control it at all.

If the evil monk insists on staying, he can only choose to leave his body and look for a suitable target to possess.

This process is full of dangers and lacks resources for cultivation. If one is unable to effectively nourish and recover and continue to improve one's realm, the body that one has taken over will sooner or later wither and decay, and one's own soul will also languish and dissipate.

It is like a plant that was forcibly transplanted from its original fertile soil into the desert. Only those who have experienced it personally know the pain and are in despair every moment.

Unless they have no choice, the evil monks will never stay in this world and will return even if it means taking risks.

Once the evil monks who have betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy return to the Haoyue Realm, their fate will inevitably be extremely miserable.

This idea is reasonable and it is indeed the case. It is a consequence that those who surrender must bear.

But not long after, new news came, which shocked the evil prisoners.

During the conversation, a traitor revealed an important piece of information, which answered everyone's doubts.

It turns out that these traitors were promised that they could merge their souls with their evil bodies and break free from the control of the dark realm.

After completing this step, the traitor will have a perfect body and will be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort in his practice.

When the war is over, they can follow the gathering place and leave this energy-scarce world together.

After hearing the news, the evil prisoners were deeply shocked. Some thought it was a lie, some were extremely envious, and some were eager to try it out.

The prisoners who thought it was a lie were not affected by emotions, but they thought the promise of the gathering place was difficult to fulfill.

The body of the evil monk is a strange object created by the gods and is bound to the dark realm.

What kind of means are needed to forcibly deprive it of its power and then merge it with the cultivator's soul?
This matter is extremely difficult, to an unimaginable degree.

The practitioners in the Haoyue Realm have long been conducting research on this matter, and they all want to obtain the perfect physique of the evil body.

But similar attempts have all ended in failure and produced no results at all.

The promises made by the gathering place will inevitably make people wonder whether they are deliberately deceiving those traitors?

Regarding this matter, the evil prisoners debated secretly.

How can the gathering place accomplish what the Haoyue Realm cannot do? Are their methods more powerful, and can they even fight against the gods?
You know what, it’s really true.

In a battle that ended earlier, the gathering place displayed divine means and defeated the sect’s elder council, forcing them to flee in panic.

This incident is enough to prove that the strength possessed by the gathering place may be far beyond that of the Haoyue Realm.

The reason why it had never been cracked in the past was that those who attempted it were all ordinary cultivators whose knowledge and cultivation were only average.

The gathering place is different. With such powerful means, their strength and knowledge must be extraordinary.

It seems reasonable that the code could be cracked successfully.

If this is true, the traitors' worries will be relieved, so it is no wonder that they choose to join the gathering place.

Those traitors are not stupid. They must have seen the benefits, otherwise they would never have done that.

The more the evil prisoners thought about it, the more they felt that this was the way it should be. Their original ridicule and hatred gradually turned into envy and jealousy.

They don't care about their faction identity, they only care about things related to cultivation. If the gathering place can really provide various welfare benefits as promised, most of the evil monks will join without hesitation.

Before long, the guarding staff were frequently harassed as prisoners continued to express their desire to join the gathering.

The staff responded in unison that they had not received any notification yet and were unable to accept these prisoners.

Some prisoners were unwilling to ask why other prisoners were able to join them. Was the gathering place treating them differently?

In fact, raising such a question requires taking certain risks. How can the authority of the gathering place be questioned by a group of captives and prisoners?

However, in order to join the gathering place, the evil monks have to grit their teeth and bear the risks.

The staff was good-tempered and did not punish the person who asked the question. Instead, they answered the question.

The prisoners who joined the gathering place were the first group to surrender voluntarily and had passed the tests of the gathering place.

The group of prisoners in the POW camp are of a completely different nature. They are captured after being defeated and are not qualified to join.

If you must join, you can only wait until the war breaks out again and then do research based on how the prisoners perform.
