Chen Gong only opens his eyes again when he senses the darkness. How long will this 'peace' last, then? Till the demons come back? Obviously, they'll return-- and they seem to have returned endlessly, tossing Sun Jian in and dragging him out whenever they please. For now, Chen Gong has the time to ponder what they mean by 'treatment'.
Obviously, nothing good. His genius mind can make deeper inferences than just that, though.
Sun Jian's eyes. Eyes like that... he's only seen them on other diamonds. The kinds which can see in the dark, with tusks for mouths and-- basically, things that distinguish them from a human. Why would Sun Jian have eyes like that? Is it part of the treatment? Or a product of some other horror that goes on in the lairs of demons?
Can he trust Sun Jian? Well, he doesn't really have a choice even if he can't. Is he still human? Well... he seems to be. Chen Gong really hopes he is.
What gives, then?
He keeps his head up, always hearing for sounds. For footsteps and breathing, to tell him to lie his head across the ground and feign unconsciousness once more. For how long will that save him? Not very long at all.
It's horrible, to want to faint but not be able to. To be close to fainting, with how everything smells and is dark and he's still tired and aching from everything.]
