"Yes, I admit it."

"You brutally broke her head, but fortunately Hu Cong rescued her in time, so you don't have to worry about your life, is there such a thing?" The old judge's words became more and more harsh, as if as soon as Li Yi answered "no", he would immediately jump up and beat him.

"Yes, I admit it."

Hearing his confession, the jury and the judge were satisfied, but the crowd of onlookers became angry and cried out loudly to punish this vicious thug, a thug who was going to attack even Kent's daughter, and who must have hidden a murderous evil spirit under his poor and thin appearance!

"Burn him! Burn him! People started shouting rhythmically.

"In view of the crimes committed by this person, the court will give a verdict: gouge out his eyes and expel him forever!"

"Smack!" The gavel slammed down again, and before Li Yi could make any move, several jailers covered his head with a burlap bag and escorted him back.

The trial is over.

Fate played a cruel joke on Li Yi, the cruelty of dictatorship can kill people even if it is a corner, maybe Mani will not know that someone will lose his eyes because of her, and this trial report will not be placed on Kent's breakfast table for him to see, but this huge system is still operating with ruthless rules, it is a meat grinder for the weak.

Li Yi is just one of the victims.

The execution was carried out in a special cell, equipped with doctors, to prevent the prisoners from dying of excessive blood loss, but the prison is not a hospital after all, and there will be no nurses with sweet voices to help the prisoners bandage.

Li Yi was pushed into the cell, and the first thing he saw was a thick iron pillar stained with blood, pointed at the top and bottom. The lower end is welded on the ground paved with steel plates, and the four-dimensional rock wall is arc-shaped, giving people a depressing and gloomy feeling, and a cold breath seeps out from the cracks in the rock, which makes people's hearts cold.

At the top of the pillar was a rusty brass ring to hold the head, two in the middle and two at the bottom, and at the top was an iron funnel with an open cowhide pouch at the bottom, which was a tool for torturing the prisoner with poisonous insects, but fortunately he did not have to be subjected to such punishment.

The executioner was a jailer with thick hands and feet, his eyebrows were a little bald, his face was glinted with oil, and he was adjusting the execution tools with a skillful technique, which was very good from the point of view of the executioner.

There are many kinds of tools, such as a slender scimitar that can easily cut into the ribs and cut the heart, and a short-handled ox tongue knife is used to remove the kneecap, like the tongue of a cow, and a clump of thatch is gently rolled into the mouth. There are also instruments of torture that are purely designed to inflict physical pain, and human beings have never lacked cruel intelligence, and are particularly adept at torturing their own kind.

The tool for gouging out the eyes is a spoon with sharp edges, there are many kinds of such spoons, probably because of the different sizes of people's eyes, the jailer used several spoons to compare Li Yi's eyes to see which one was more suitable for him.

Li Yi suddenly smiled, "Please, it's not dessert, just take them out." ”

"The right knife will make you suffer less." The jailer said earnestly, and he bowed his head, was silent for a while, then picked a spoon and roasted it on the fire.

At this time, another jailer holding a soldering iron suddenly poked down on his shoulder, and suddenly a foul smell of burnt flesh rose, and a sharp pain hit, Li Yi let out a muffled scream, and at the same time, his eyes went black, and he felt two hot streams of blood crawl down his cheeks like insects.

The execution was surprisingly fast, and the organs that people had used to see the world all their lives were lost in a short instant.

It was pitch black all around, and the darkness was chilling and desperate. Like a deep pool. The cold, watery darkness oppressed the breathless, and even in the middle of the night there was a faint light, which was the stars, the faint light from the distant lights, but the blindness of the darkness was pure, clean black.

Li Yi was taken back to his cell, where he would recuperate from his wounds, and then he would be ruthlessly banished, if nothing else, he would die in a distant foreign land, not even for long, and there was still the imprint of a criminal on his shoulders, just like humans naturally hate filthy poisonous insects, and it was almost impossible for him to be rescued by well-wishers.

Just as he was thinking about how to go in the future, suddenly, the black world in front of him lit up with a faintly glowing white star.

"What is this?" Li Yi tried hard to widen his eyes to observe the white luminous body, but it hurt the wound.

It is delicate, shaped like a boiled rice cake, constantly squirming, and stretching out two short tentacles to explore the world, this is simply a small creature!

He was stunned, and it wasn't long before he saw another one on the rock wall above, which looked stronger and larger, and the white light of its whole body had turned slightly blue, and it was shaped like a myriaped.

"Didn't I lose my eyes? Why can you see them?" Li Yi touched the thick bandage wrapped around his face suspiciously, "Are these lifeforms rumored spirits?" Or am I dazzled? ”

He tried to communicate with them, and it was rumored that the seekers were able to gain recognition by communicating with the spirits, thus concluding a contract.

When the road ahead was dark, Li Yi unexpectedly found that he was inexplicably able to communicate with the spirit, and even he didn't know whether to be happy or sad, could it be that the explorer could only feel the existence of the spirit when he was blind?

Fate played tricks on people like a naughty child, Li Yi gradually felt the emotion of the young creature, it was a faint, vague whisper, it seemed that it was not yet highly intelligent, equivalent to a one- or two-year-old baby, and the older spirit ignored him and wandered around on its own.

"Great, sure enough, there is a creature like a spirit, I don't know why, although I lost my eyes, I became an explorer, but, in case they find out that I have such a terrible potential, they will definitely get rid of me at any cost, but I don't even know how to learn the knowledge of spirit, but as long as I leave here, even if it is exile, then I will not be in danger of life, and even accumulate strength and have my own power!" Li Yi thought carefully, and the joy of becoming an explorer diluted the sadness of losing his eyes, but he clearly realized that he was still fragile at this time, and the reason why he was able to survive was only that he was too weak, and there was no threat to the weak.

"It's a blessing to have survived, but now that I'm an explorer again, what more could I ask for? I'm not good at revenge, but I won't let it go if I have the chance. He slept peacefully.

A few days later, the bandage in front of him was lifted, Li Yi touched the thick blood scab, and was escorted out of the city by the jailers, because he was not a particularly dangerous prisoner, and he did not look treacherous and cunning, all of them were only guarded by two jailers.

"Out of this road to the north is the city-state of Klendia, to the south is the Seredun River, of course you blind man can't get by, find a quiet place to live well, don't think too much, don't resent it, after all, if you commit a crime, you should be punished, this is your eyes, the law of mercy will give this back to you, I hope you will do more good deeds to make up for your mistakes, if you still want to return to West Asia, then you must make corresponding contributions." A jailer said.

The other handed him a wax-sealed brass bottle containing Li Yi's eyes.

"Don't come back unless ****!"

Li Yi smiled and waved goodbye to them, not looking like a prisoner about to be exiled, "You will see me again." He thought silently.

With not a copper coin on him, and without the food and water necessary for a traveler, there was nothing worse than this, and he hobbled along the road north to the city-state of Clendia, where he could only beg for a living.

However, to his delight, there were many bright and dark points of light in the black world in front of him, and those were spirits, and it was hard to imagine that they lived around humans in such a way

Living independently, feeling the joy of this life, Li Yi was suddenly full of hope.

"No one can destroy me!" He said loudly.

Some of the spirits scattered everywhere are weak and some are slightly stronger, and a strange power can be felt from them, which is the wild power of nature, Li Yi found that most of the spirits are white, they are young and weak, and some of the slightly larger ones are glowing with blue light, and their movements are more agile, and some can even fly through the grass.

"White seems to be the lowest spirit, with the lowest intelligence, with little self-consciousness and only instinctive action. And blue is the next stage of the evolution of the white spirit, which already has ordinary mobility, but these don't know what the blue advancement looks like. He analyzed.

When walking alone, the road is very long, and he has also heard of the city-state of Clendia, the archon of the city is Feld, who is said to be a fat man with a great sense of humor, and will celebrate with the inhabitants of the city-state on some grand festivals, and it would be best if he passes through a small town on the way, even if he does not, he can find water and non-poisonous berries through communication with the spirit, and he has already become familiar with the skills of communicating with the spirit, although he cannot speak in words, but he can still convey kindness and kindness. His physical afflictions were sympathetic to them, and the indifferent inhabitants of the city-state were nothing more than empty shells compared to these spirits.

I don't know how much time has passed, and I don't know if it's late afternoon or evening, or late at night? Anyway, he had no concept of time for a long time.

Li Yi sat down weakly against the tree, he was sure that he was lost, the avenue had long come to an end, the soft soil under his feet and the slippery moss on the stones told him from time to time that this was a damp and dense jungle, although he was lost, his heart was more relieved, and he felt more and more secure, after all, it was human beings who had hurt him since he was a child.

As the number of spirits increased, he became farther and farther away from human settlements, and sometimes blue spirits flew through the sky, they had a complete structure similar to the wings of birds, and the blue light fluttered around them like ribbons, which was extremely beautiful.

He also found that the body temperature of the spirits was different, and some of the spirits were burning. Hot hands, like a burning flame, some cold and biting, some illusory without feeling the temperature, the only thing they have in common is that they can't touch the entity, and the fingers pass through the spirit body gently, as if reaching into the water.

Under their leadership, Li Yi found a bush and touched it with his hand, a string of bead-like fruits accompanied by a sweet fragrance, it should be raspberries, the sound of the water came from the cliff not far away, he suddenly wanted to cry, this suffering teenager really had a companion after tasting the coldness of the world.

He slept deeply by the stream, his pale cheeks a hint of blood, and he was dreaming at some point, but it was a rare moment of relaxation.

"Grandpa, why did you find me a second spirit so quickly? My Cauchy Spirit hasn't reached the green level yet! There was a question in the jungle.

"Boom!" A huge tortoiseshell squeezed through the bushes and came out, and on top of the shell of a turtle the size of a room sat an old man and a young man, the girl's long hair was shawl, the hair was very straight, like a taut string, black and dazzling, the eyebrows were delicate and soft, and the thin lips were tightly pursed, showing a trace of perseverance.

The old man who was leaning on the turtle's back beside him was full of white hair and unkempt hair, crystal clear like silver threads, his long beard scrambled to drag to the hem of the white toga, barefoot, holding a walnut carved cane, the top of the crutch was carved with a distorted beast head, his eyes were surrounded by many wrinkles, but his eyes were clear and bright, not at all like an ancient old man.

"Humph! The old guys in the academy are nagging all day long to train the first spirit to the C level, and then sign a contract with the second one, just to let those students who have no background have more strength to find excellent spirits, you little girl is the most talented young man in our Youan family, of course, you have to choose three mutant spirits early to be worthy of your identity. The old man tapped the tortoiseshell under his seat with his cane, "My Cassidios's qualifications are close to those of the mutants, but they are still a little short. ”

"You're laughing, grandpa, how can mutant spirits be so easy to find? Even the top students of Kurosawa Academy can't have three at the same time, and even very good explorers are difficult to get their approval, even the first day of the Imperial Academy in the Pompeii city-state was attacked by Bruce when he signed a contract with the mutant fire spirit, and he was seriously injured, it is still a domesticated mutant spirit, and the wild mutant spirit is even more ferocious! The girl said with a frown.

"So if you have the chance, will you try it?" The old man smiled like a fox, "Even if you are seriously injured, it will only be a matter of moments for my red-level weeping grass spirit to heal you." ”

"Even if the red level is strong, it will hurt!" The girl stuck out her tongue.

"You haven't seen the coercion of the legendary purple-level spirit, like a prison like the sea, and you can't have the idea of resisting at all," the old man narrowed his eyes, as if recalling something, "Hundreds of years ago, when our family was at its strongest, there was also a purple-level spirit, it was a mutated sky dragon, the absolute king of the sky. ”

"Is it really strong? The red level is already very powerful, it is said that the top colleges in the continent and those ancient big families all have S-level spirit guards, and the stronger the strength, the greater the power! The girl took out a leather kettle, unscrewed the lid, poured out a water-blue crystal, the rich water vapor volatilized, a chubby spirit crawled out of her satchel, the whole body was crystal clear, the movements were clumsy, stretched out two tentacles to catch the diamond-like blue crystal melted into the body, and then crawled back with satisfaction swallowing the foam.
