C393 Mysterious Bone Piece
This voice was like thunder, it resounded in the dark cell, giving Ding Yi a fright. He was originally thinking about the lab since he came in, so he didn't notice that the two sides of the iron prison were not sealed, but separated by iron pillars that were as thick as an arm.
At this moment, the clanging of iron chains could be heard from his right, followed by the muffled sound of thunder. "Kid, how did you get caught?"
Ding Yi frowned. He flicked his finger and a fireball appeared at the tip of his index finger, lighting up the dark cell.
Who knew that before Ding Yi could take a closer look, he felt a fishy wind blowing towards him. Soon after, a disheveled and dirty figure grabbed the iron pillar and shouted, "Light! Where is the light coming from?"
As he said that, the figure lifted up his messy hair and revealed a pair of turbid eyes. He greedily looked at the fireball in Ding Yi's hand and muttered to himself, "I haven't seen light in a long time, it's so beautiful!"
"Hmm? Have you been out for a long time? " Ding Yi was stunned for a moment, then asked subconsciously.
"Hmph, ever since I was captured and drained of all the evolved materials, I've been here forever. I can't even remember how long I've been here." Saying that, the old man let out a sigh and shook his head helplessly.
A hint of despair flashed in his eyes. It was the helplessness of living. He was very clear that once he entered this place, he would not be able to leave. He would have to leave this place for the rest of his life.
Hearing the old man's words, Ding Yi was even more convinced. The country must have found a way to refine the evolved materials from the mutated human body, which was why they were constantly catching the mutated.
It was only then that he found out that the old man was the patriarch of a small clan called Jinzhou City. Many years ago, he accidentally ate a strange herb and evolved, he originally wanted to lead his clan to glory, but before he could have a chance to display his grand plans, the Special Operations Group had already found him.
He never thought that the other party would actually take out a special kind of gun, and would cause him to instantly lose his ability to resist. After being caught, he would be taken away every few days to draw his blood, and even be injected with a special kind of liquid, causing the power in his body to remain in a state of silence.
As time passed, the strength in his body became weaker and weaker. The substances that supported his evolution gradually thinned due to the loss of his blood essence, until finally they completely disappeared.
"What's your number?" Suddenly, Ding Yi asked.
"Hmm? They call me Six. " The old man was stunned for a moment, then said, "I'm the sixth to be caught and brought in. The first few people are said to be dead, and another Number 5 is locked up in the last iron prison on the other side."
"Young man, can you help me with something?" Without waiting for Ding Yi's reply, he took the initiative and said, "I do not have many years to live. If there comes a day when you go out, please go to my family and take a look. If there is a girl named Weng Chun Er, help me pass this to her."
With that, the old man pulled out a dirty chain from his neck and threw it across the cell.
Ding Yi hurriedly took it. He looked at the old man and said with a deep voice, "Don't worry, the Weng family is doing well. Last year, Weng Ming led the Weng family and successfully squeezed into a second-rate family."
"Weng Ming!" That bastard became the Patriarch?! " However, what Ding Yi didn't expect was that after the old man heard the two words, he immediately became excited.
The Weng family was a second-rate family with Jinzhou City, and they were the last of the second-rate families. Ding Yi also found some traces of them in his memory, and it seemed that its patriarch, Weng Ming, had successfully brought his family into the ranks of the second-rate families.
"Why?" Ding Yi frowned and asked curiously.
Does this old man have a grudge with that whatever Ummon?" Just when Ding Yi was guessing, the old man let out a long sigh, gritted his teeth and said, "Weng Ming is a descendant of the Weng Family. When he was young, he was a bastard.
"He has ascended to the position of Patriarch. Could it be that my family head bloodline has already declined?" The old man became more and more excited as he spoke, and in the end, he suddenly became sorrowful. "When Rong Ming ascends to the position of Patriarch, he will definitely not let Chun Er's father go, aiya …"
"No matter what, please come to my Weng family. If Chun Er's father and the rest are not here …" In short, give that chain to Chun'er! As he said this, the old man paused, "This old man has no way of repaying you. Only, when I chanced upon this strange grass, did I get a bone fragment. I studied it for a long time, but could not come up with anything, so I gave it to you as compensation."
With that, the old man suddenly raised his hand and clawed at his leg. His sharp nails dug into his flesh immediately. Even though they were separated by the door, Ding Yi could still see the flesh of his leg flowing.
As the old man probed into the flesh, he took out a palm-sized bone piece from the flesh of his calf. The bone piece was stained with blood, and with a sudden swing, the old man threw the bone piece over before letting out a groan and falling to the ground.
"This is?" Ding Yi ignored the blood on it and immediately received the bone piece. He looked at the engravings on the bone piece and his expression gradually turned serious.
The bone piece was only the size of a palm and was engraved with dense patterns that looked like special symbols. However, these symbols were different from any other language. Even if Ding Yi was proficient in all the ancient language, he would still find it difficult to understand these special symbols because he wouldn't be able to understand them.
He only felt that this bone piece was a world, and the world was this bone piece. However, every time he looked at it carefully, this bone piece seemed to have returned to normal and there was nothing special about it.
"I'll take this bone shard." Ding Yi took a deep breath and wiped off the blood on the bone shard before putting it away in his storage bag, "If there comes a day when I have to go out, I will definitely go to the Rong family to help you fulfill your last wish."
The reason why Ding Yi said this, and not choose to save the old man, was mainly because he only wanted to reach an agreement with Special Operations Group. As long as Special Operations Group did not provoke him again, then he would not oppose Special Operations Group.
At this moment, the metal door opened with a clang. Two men in uniform walked in and said to Ding Yi, "Number 24, come with us!"2
