My Endless Life.

Chapter 171 'Factory'

"Where are we going now?"

In the wind and sand, Ronnie followed behind Youqi and asked him.

Beside him, all the people in the cave followed him out. They walked straight and firmly in one direction, just like pilgrims heading to a certain place.

But the problem was that Youqi didn't tell Ronnie where they were going next.

There was no other way but for Ronnie to ask.

Although there is no time here, he felt that he had been walking for a long time, as if he had been walking for almost a day.

"Where to leave."

You Qi said in a deep voice, he walked forward step by step, and explained to everyone without turning his head:

"I said I would find a way to take you away, but the time was not right before. Now..."

As Youqi spoke, he tilted his head slightly, glanced at Ronnie from the corner of his eye, and continued:
“—It’s time.”

"Just because of this little golden-haired kid?"

The only woman in the team, Ainowei, who was slightly shorter than Ronnie, pointed at Ronnie with her thumb.

You Qi nodded: "That's him, he is the final link."

"So who is this kid? Is he from one of the four noble families?"

Berg inquired.

You Qi shook his head: "No, on the contrary, he is the one who changed the four major families... and even the royal family."

"Me?" Ronnie pointed at himself, his face full of shock.

He used to think that he was the protagonist, although it was just a child's fantasy at that time.

But after all these years of growth and his experiences in the past year after being chosen by the relic, Ronnie realized that he was not the protagonist.

Because he couldn't protect his best friend, he couldn't become stronger than anyone else.

Apart from the contract with a special relic, Ronnie has no other advantages.

So he didn't think that the person Youqi was talking about was himself.

"You have met my father, right?" You Qi suddenly asked.

Yuqi is Diya's brother. When he asked this question, Ronnie immediately thought of the old man who told Li Qi about the "prophecy".

I thought of the 'man of prophecy' they mentioned.

Thinking of this, Ronnie was silent for a long time and asked, "Am I really the one who predicted it?"

"Of course, since you're here, you have blond hair, and your name is Ronnie, it must be you."

Youqi stopped and turned to look at Ronnie: "Or rather, you should pray that you are indeed the one predicted. Otherwise, we will really be trapped here and unable to get out."

"why?"

Ronnie didn't understand.

You Qi smiled, stomped the ground, and said, "Because of this."

Rumble——!
As soon as You Qi finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently.

The gray sand in front of everyone gradually spread out to both sides, and a huge crystal slowly emerged from the ground.

At the same time, the sky, which was originally as dark as dusk, gradually became transparent, and the "real" scene appeared before everyone's eyes.

During the time he spent with Youqi, Ronnie also understood where everyone was.

This is among Youqi's relics.

Youqi's relic is a special and top-grade relic, and its name is just like the one that Savage Berg mentioned to Ronnie before.

It’s called [Underworld].

It is a separate special space that can accommodate other creatures.

You Qi can choose who can enter this space, or she can choose to block someone's memory and make him forget everything he experienced outside except his own name.

In this space, there is no need to worry about death, nor will you feel tired or hungry. It is as if the human body's state is locked at the moment of entering the space.

It is also because of this that people who enter here have survived until now without food and water.

As for the criteria that Youqi chose to enter here, there was only one.

'Someone who can make a contract with the original relic'.

Except for Youqi, the remaining five people, including Inovi and Savage Berg, are all qualified to contract with the original relics.

But only Ronnie has successfully contracted with the original relic, and he is the most likely candidate to get everyone out of the prison.

The reason is that before, You Qi had asked these people to try, but they failed to awaken the crystal hidden here.

Except Ronnie.

"This is... the original relic?"

Berg stared at the rising giant crystal, his eyes gleaming with a scorching light.

You Qi glanced at him and said:

"Yes, but obviously you are not qualified to contract it. Only he can."

Yuki pointed at Ronnie.

Ronnie didn't answer, but another skinny guy suddenly asked:
"I don't care about anything else. All I care about is when will you return our memories to us?"

"Not now." You Qi said calmly: "Because, among you there may be people from the four great noble families, and I am worried about you." You Qi spoke bluntly.

He chose to seal these people's memories in the outside world because there might be people from the four noble families among them.

These four noble families also have ideas about the original relics, so Youqi would never hand over the original relics to them.

Perhaps the four great nobles and the royal family did act for the future of mankind in the beginning.

But after so many years, the four great noble families and the royal family have long since degenerated.

This can be seen from their methods.

After hearing what You Qi said, the thin young man was silent for a moment, then he looked up and looked You Qi in the eye and said:
"Aren't you also from one of the four great noble families? Although I have forgotten many things, I remember that the Underworld is one of the heirlooms of the Yu family, one of the four great noble families."

The names of the nobles in this world are very simple, all of which use a single character as their surname.

For example, the family that is in charge of the guard team that maintains order in the city has the surname "Wei", which means guard.

The family that controls the basic things in the city such as clothing, food, housing and transportation is called "wealth", which means controlling human wealth.

There is also the family "Jiang" who makes relics, and the family "Yu" who is in charge of the prison.

The four nobles, like the royal family, were named with a single surname, which was something few people in the outside world knew.

The outside world only knows that there are these four noble families, but never knows what they are called.

Yuki... or should I say Yuki Yu, grinned after hearing the words of the skinny young man:

"I am no longer a member of the Four Great Nobles, ever since my father left the family."

You Qi and the thin young man's eyes met. The thin young man knew the surnames of the four major families, which meant that he was indeed a member of the four major nobles.

This means that You Qi's approach was correct, and it was right to block their memories of the outside world.

You Qi opened her mouth slightly and was about to say something to the skinny young man when she suddenly heard Ronnie's nervous voice:
"Everyone...I don't want to disturb you..."

Ronnie pointed outside.

Relic [Underworld] After the original relic appeared, the surrounding sky became transparent, allowing them to see everything that happened in reality.

What appeared before Ronnie at this moment was an absurd and weird scene.

On the underworld side, there are layers of "women" locked in glass boxes.

These women have large abdomens and tubes connected to their chests, which continuously transport some fluid to somewhere.

Just like... cows on a pasture.

They had no hair on their heads, dull eyes, and held tubes that delivered nutrient solution in their mouths, eating the solution mechanically.

Seeing this scene, the only woman in the scene, Ainowei, suddenly turned pale.

Because she knew that the women here were all imprisoned in prison.

If she had not been pulled into the underworld by Youqi, she would probably have been one of them.

But the most shocking thing is not this side, but the other side.

On the transparent side, everyone could see a "giant" passing by.

Their bodies seemed slightly ethereal, their faces were blue as if they were dead, and they wandered back and forth mechanically.

Ronnie's finger was pointing back and forth between the group of women encased in glass and the wandering green-faced ghost.

At this moment, he felt as if he was dreaming.

After all, he had never seen such a huge 'person' in real life!
.........

Li Qi was exploring the prison.

Coming out of the warehouse and getting rid of two wandering 'ghosts', Li Qi's right hand fingers flexibly flipped the silk thread and looked at the corridor in front.

It is called a prison, but in fact it is more like a large research institute.

Li Qi didn't see anything like a prison cell along the way. Instead, he saw a lot of locked doors that required special keys to open.

The nature of the door is similar to that of a ghost, both real and unreal.

But when Li Qi put his hand on it, he encountered obstacles. He weaved the silk thread with his right hand and shaped it into a key to insert it into the keyhole, but he was unable to touch the lock core inside.

After this happened to several doors in a row, Li Qi got angry and used violence to break into a door at the end of the corridor.

The thread passed through the door, breaking it into eight pieces.

Li Qi, who has already killed several jailers, no longer cares whether he will be exposed. He just wants to find out the secret of this prison as soon as possible.

The door opened and Li Qi walked in. All the jailers inside looked over.

They were holding strange machines in their hands, which could affect entities, and they were "moving" something through these machines.

Li Qi looked at what they had in their hands.

It turned out to be a disassembled human limb.

Looking into the distance along the disassembled human limbs, Li Qi could see the assembly line that processed these things.

At one end of the assembly line is a small passage that is only as wide as a thumb, but very long and connects to the distant wall.

Inside the passage, there were naked people the size of fingers, lying on it as if dead. After passing through a certain "machine", their bodies suddenly grew larger, and the passage also grew larger, transporting them to the next machine.

When they passed through a machine again, their bodies had been disassembled into different parts, while retaining basic vitality.

The jailers were now processing these parts, sorting them into different categories and placing them in a box, then throwing the box into a passage leading to an unknown place.

This scene looks like slaughtering a pig...
