About ten minutes later, the female alien from the rabbit planet had asked for the opinion of the “elder” and “invited” the four people from the front line of hell into the village.
Brother Jue’s group left the two stallions at the village entrance and followed the villagers into the canyon.
Even though they said “please”, the villagers were still hostile to the gamers. They didn’t put down their weapons, nor did they let down their guard.
Of course, this was also human (rabbit) nature. For these people (rabbits) who lived in the end of the world and were used to lies, violence, and death, trusting others … Was likely to mean death without a burial.
“Brother Jue, according to your prediction, there should be at least one super powerful NPC in this village, right?” as they walked through the village, Xiao Tan lowered his voice to ask Feng bujue,”do you think it’s that elder?”
“Maybe.” Feng bujue also replied in a low voice,”whether or not it is true … We will only know after we meet him.”
“Oh …” Xiao Tan suddenly thought of something and added,”Oh, right! “Is there such a possibility …” He asked softly,”for example … There’s no particularly strong guy in this village, but the location of the village just happens to be between us and the destination?”
“No,” she said. Brother Jue denied Xiao Tan’s speculation.”This is the destination that I predicted.” He paused for half a second and added,”because the terrain of this village is exactly the same as the hexagram I saw before.”
“Ha?” Xiao Tan was startled.”You mean on kakaru’s body …” As the words reached his mouth, he could not help but be reminded of Feng bujue ‘s’ fortune-telling ‘.”Oh … At that time …”
“That’s right. ” Feng bujue continued,”even though we can calculate the ‘direction’ by throwing sand, if we want to get more accurate information, we should use something more complicated.” He began to narrate some terrifying facts and experiences in a calm tone,”and corpses are a good choice. Whether it was the fur, the texture of the muscles, the blood flow, or the internal organs … All of them could show various unique and vivid patterns. It’s far better than the divination that can be obtained by drawing a bamboo stick, throwing a few copper coins, or writing a word. ”
“In that case …” Xiao Ling, who had been listening to their conversation, interrupted,”…There are three possibilities?”
To other people, this sentence might sound like it had no beginning or end, but brother Jue still understood the meaning.
“Yes.” Feng bujue nodded in agreement and then turned to explain to Xiao Tan,”the prediction from divine foresight should be correct, so there are three possibilities … One, there is a BOSS-level NPC living in this village. Second, corpse saber Second Legion was here. Third … This village is hiding some secret, and this secret points to an extremely powerful existence. ”
“Oh …” Xiao Tan answered, looking like he was deep in thought.
As they spoke, the four of them had already reached the entrance of the “elder ‘s” house.
According to the female rabbit alien, this “paobo an” was the leader of the village, equivalent to the “village chief.” However, from the current situation … The village head seemed to be living a little miserably. His house (the entrance of the cave) was even more dilapidated than the houses of the ordinary villagers nearby. If it were not for the villagers leading the way, no one would have thought that this was the village head’s residence.
“You can go in by yourselves. The elder said he wants to see you alone.”
When the NPC who led the way said that, Feng bujue immediately gave his teammates a look, telling them to be more alert.
RUO Yu, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Tan naturally understood what brother Jue meant.
It seemed like …… The ones waiting for them might not be the “elders.”
“Alright, thank you for leading the way.” Feng bujue turned around and said to the NPC with a half-smile before leading the way to push open the door made of wood and scrap metal and walked into the cave.
A few seconds later, the other members of Hell’s frontline also entered.
And then …
Bang!
Before they could go far, the door behind them was closed by the rabbits outside.
Then … There was a muffled “bang”. It sounded like … Something heavy had fallen outside.
“Hey … What’s the meaning of this?” Xiao Tan’s terror points shot up, and his first reaction was to reach into his inventory to search for the lighting.
“It means … You guys were fooled too …” The next second, a low voice came from the darkness ahead.
“Who is it? Who’s there?” Xiao Tan quickly looked toward the source of the voice and asked loudly.
“Ha …” Feng bujue appeared to be at ease. As he took out the compound anti-gravity gun from his inventory, he laughed and said to the source of the voice,”let me guess … They also asked you to come here to meet the ‘elder’, right?”
Before he could finish, the probe light in front of the catapult lit up, and the inside of the cave was presented to the players.
It was obvious that the cave they were in was not a “residence” at all. There was no furniture, no lighting, and no elders … All there was was a solid wall and a rabbitfolk in a rough cloak sitting in the corner.
“Oh?” When the alien saw brother Jue’s face, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but he regained his calm almost instantly and said,”you are … Aliens, right?”
“An Earthling.” Feng bujue replied.
“I see …” The rabbit alien replied indifferently and did not ask further.
“This Brother Rabbit … You … What’s the situation?” Ling said to the rabbit as she took out a light device.
“The situation …” The alien pondered for a few seconds and said,”about … Five days ago, I accidentally found this remote village.” At that time, my car was running out of fuel, so I came to the village to exchange my goods for some food and fuel. “After some negotiation, they asked me to come here to see the ‘elder’…” He shrugged.”You should have guessed what happened next … My things were all robbed by them, and I was locked up here to wait for death.”
“Sigh … This big brother, you’re really pitiful.” When Xiao Tan heard that, he shook his head and sighed.”The people in this village are too much.”
“When we opened the door …” RUO Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke to the alien rabbit,”why didn’t you run outside?”
“Ha … Is there any meaning to that?” The other party laughed bitterly.”I’m not afraid of you guys laughing at me … I, rabbit aotian, can be considered a striker. The me from five days ago … Was completely confident that I could escape unscathed from the villagers “encirclement. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have rashly entered this unfamiliar village.” He shook his head.”But now … I’m so hungry that I don’t have any strength left. It’s hard for me to even raise my voice to talk to you … In this situation, let alone rushing out, even if they open the door and let me go, I can’t leave.”
“Xiao Tan.” When Feng bujue heard this, he turned to call out to Xiao Tan without saying anything.
“There is.” Wang Tanzhi quickly replied.
Brother Jue looked at Xiao Tan, snapped his fingers, and then pointed his index finger at rabbit aotian.””Feed him.”
“I understand.” Xiao Tan replied.
For some reason, the two of them started to talk to each other in classical Chinese … But this didn’t affect their actions.
Not long after, Xiao Tan strode to rabbit aotian and handed him a bag of snacks and a bottle of water.
The eyes of the originally lifeless rabbit suddenly lit up. He did not stand on ceremony with them, took the bottle of water, and gulped it down. After half a bottle, he suddenly stopped and looked at the remaining half bottle with a look of regret and longing … Then, he tore open the snack package and began to stuff the food into his mouth.
The four players just looked at him and waited for a full three minutes to see him finish the food.
Three minutes later, Feng bujue took a few steps forward and squatted before him. He smiled and asked,””Then … Now, can you take us to see the ‘elder’?”
As soon as he said that, rabbit aotian’s expression changed.””You …” His surprise lasted for a few seconds before it turned into a smile.”Ha … Hahahaha …” He laughed a few times and stood up.”When did you start suspecting me?” He paused for a moment.”Could it be that … My reaction to the fact that ‘you are aliens’ was too flat?”
“No, about that part of the performance … There’s no problem.” Feng bujue also stood up and replied with a smile,”your weakness … Is revealed in other ways.”
“Oh?” Rabbit aotian’s face was suspicious, and he used his eyes to signal brother Jue to continue.
“First … Is light.” As Feng bujue spoke, he raised the gun in his hand and waved it. “When we came in, the hole was almost completely dark. For a human (rabbit) who had stayed in such an environment for several days, it should take a longer time to adapt to the light. As for you … After I turn on this bright light, you’ll soon be able to look in our direction as if nothing happened. This means that … You have not been in this cave for long, but … You said that you have been locked up for five days. ”
“Hmph … To think that you could detect and associate it with that aspect.” Rabbit aotian snorted coldly.”But … This alone can’t be considered a flaw, right?” He started to discuss this with brother Jue.
“That’s right. ” Feng bujue replied,”I’ve also thought about it … Could it be that some light leaked in when we entered the cave, so you got used to the brightness in advance? Or perhaps you’re a gifted person with amazing eyesight. ” He continued,”if we go deeper … The biological structure of the people on the rabbit planet is different from that of us Earthlings. Perhaps you are a race that can instantly adapt to the change in light.” At this point, he suddenly changed the topic.”Therefore, my suspicion of you obviously has other reasons …”
“Please speak.” Rabbit aotian crossed his arms in front of his chest, looked at brother Jue, and continued in a deep voice.
“If the story of ‘being imprisoned after entering the village’ that you told me earlier is true, then here comes the problem …” Feng bujue continued.”Since you are so hungry that ‘even if someone opens the door for you to escape, you can’ t,’why don’t the villagers just come in and kill you? To trick us here while you’re still alive … It’s obviously unreasonable. As long as you shout in the cave, their plan will be exposed, right?”
“They didn’t come to kill me … Maybe it’s because they’re afraid that I’ll counterattack when I’m on the verge of death?” Rabbit aotian replied,”isn’t it the safest and safest way to come in and collect my corpse after I starve to death?”
“Then, when they came to collect your body, weren’t they afraid that you were lying on the ground and pretending to be dead?” Feng bujue added.
“This …” Rabbit aotian was at a loss for words.
“Based on the environment of this cave, if we want to confirm whether the person locked in the cave is Dead or Alive, we have to walk in with lighting equipment.” Feng bujue continued,”and on your body, you are not wearing any restraints at all.” In other words … There was no difference in the risk of coming in to’ collect your corpse ‘and coming in to’ kill you’. If you’re really a prisoner, then they have no reason to let you live until we come. ” In the end, he concluded,”so … The conclusion is that the villagers knew from the beginning that you would not give us any warning before we were all locked in this cave. Even if your acting skills are good and you didn’t forget to add ‘it’s hard to even raise your voice to talk to you’ when you made up the story, you can’t cover up this obvious flaw. ”
“Ha …” Rabbit aotian laughed.”You’re right. I should have found someone to tie me up. Unfortunately … Time is limited …”
“It’s no use. ” Feng bujue interrupted him.”Whether it’s the metal or the rope and belt … The difference between being tied up for five days and being tied up for a few minutes is obvious. If you really let people tie you up, that would be like adding oil to the fire. ”
“Hmm …” Rabbit nodded as if convinced. However, after thinking for a few seconds, he added,”is there anything else?”
“There’s one more thing. ” As Feng bujue said that, he seemed to be reminded of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.”I believe … You’ve never been hungry for more than five days, and you’ve never seen how a person who has been hungry for more than five days eats, right?”
“This …” Rabbit aotian’s expression changed slightly.”Now that you mention it … I really haven’t experienced it before.”
“I’ve seen the stomachs of the people from the rabbit planet (he did “see” them). At least, to me, they’re no different from the stomachs of us Earthlings. ” “A few years ago, for some reason,” Feng bujue explained,”I used myself as an experimental material to study the physical condition of the prisoners …”
“I can vouch for that … At the time, he even asked me, who has not even graduated from medical school, to help him …” Xiao Tan added.
Feng bujue smiled at Xiao Tan and said,””I have a deep impression of the ‘hunger experiment’… The stomach will expand or contract according to the situation. If you don’t eat for a long time, it will shrink, and when you go back to eat, your stomach will be filled up very quickly. ” He paused for a moment and continued,”many people have a misconception about the concept of ‘hunger’. They think that people who have not eaten for a long time should gobble up anything they see … But this is actually a big mistake. “The most typical example is … Some people will hold back from eating for a few meals and then challenge the ‘you don’t have to pay for how long it takes to finish’ eating challenge. However, they don’t know that in this state, they will be full very quickly.” He tilted his head and looked at rabbit aotian.”So … It’s not meaningless for me to ask my companion to give you food, and it’s not out of sympathy … It’s a test. To be honest, I can tell that you’re lying from the way you ate just now. ”
When rabbit aotian heard this, he was stunned for a few seconds. Then, a smile appeared on his face,””Good … I’m impressed.” He really wanted to clap for brother Jue, but the rabbit did not.”Looks like you guys are not ordinary people. To be able to kill kakalu … Is reasonable.”
“Oh?” Feng bujue’s eyes twitched.”We never told you that … The motorcycle was stolen from kakalu.”
That’s right, they only said ‘slave traders’…
“Hmph …” Rabbit aotian sneered,”I’ll explain this to you later, but before that …”He said and took off the coarse cloth cloak on his shoulders (” I … Want to test your skills again ..
