Remember [800โ Little รท Say โ Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"Knock knock! knock!" The secret door has already begun to be lifted, but looking at the movement of this secret door, it does not look like it has been artificially lifted, but more like it has been pulled by that kind of psionic energy remotely.
The old man had just let the others disperse, as he must have been.
I was just about to remind Jab to keep an eye on it, when I saw that the secret door had been completely lifted, and Zaka and the other children had thrown a few "grenades" upwards again.
However, this time it didn't help, not that the "grenade" failed, but because there was no one outside the secret door, and the old man had already expected our move.
But he only expected one, but not the second......
When the others saw that the Gu fire caused by the "grenade" outside had dissipated, they rushed up and pounced on the edge of the secret door, and were immediately beaten back by Niu Zhuang, who was controlled by Yabu, with a few punches.
I thought that the old man outside must have a way to deal with the sudden appearance of Niu Zhuang, but to my surprise, after Niu Zhuang was controlled and killed by Yabu, it was like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and soon I heard a series of wails outside, and when I and a few other children crawled out from under the secret door, I saw only a large number of wanderers, including the old man just now, all fallen to the ground.
The old man was being stuck by Niu Zhuang with one hand on the neck against a thick tree trunk at this time, and I saw that the blue light in Niu Zhuang's eyes was almost like it was about to burst, on the contrary, the blue light in the old man's eyes was now very dim, and it seemed that he was about to die.
It should be the special clothes on Niu Zhuang's body that offset the old man's spiritual energy, and Niu Zhuang's super strong physique made us get back a little bit of the situation.
I hurriedly shouted for Yabu to stop, Yabu couldn't understand my words, but Zaka could understand, he pulled Yabu up who was still under the secret door, and after communication, Yabu controlled Niu Zhuang to release the old man's neck.
I was afraid that the old man would take the opportunity to escape, so I hurriedly stepped forward and cut his hands behind his back, but this also seemed superfluous, because without the protection of the other wanderers around me, this old man was no match for me at all, not to mention the children I had around me now.
We quickly gathered around the old man, and I gestured to the other children not to be impulsive, and at the same time shouted at the old man, "Who are you?"
The old man frowned and glanced at me, looking fixed on his gaze, and after a long time, he slowly said, "You are Xiao Chen?"
......
"Do you know me?" I thought to myself, if I could now compete with celebrities.
The old man didn't answer me, but continued to look at the little ones behind me and asked, "Why are they with you?"
"Don't talk nonsense! I've got you now, and I'm doing it like you're torturing me? I'm asking you! Where are you from?"
"What do you think?" the old man seemed to be calm, and he didn't know if he was pretentious or really fearless.
"Dongkou Province?"
The old man nodded.
"What's going on there now? Didn't the Gu worm virus spread over there?"
The old man gave me a strange look, as if I had just said something very ridiculous and speechless, only to see him shake his head slightly and say: "No place is absolutely safe now, the cold tolerance of the Gu worm virus has been confirmed as early as the middle of the origin plan, but the cold can still greatly increase the time of the incubation period. Why? You don't even know that?"
I frowned, feeling as if the old man was very knowledgeable, and he knew everything about the Origin Project.
"You're a Project Origin researcher?" I blurted out.
At this moment, I saw that Yabu was going crazy again, and if it hadn't been for Zaka stopping her, this Yabu would probably have been able to tear this old man apart directly.
......
How do you feel that the two of them have a deep hatred?
I squinted at Yabu, and saw that the blue light in her eyes had become stronger now, even more exaggerated than Niu Zhuang who was sitting on the ground after losing Yabu's control.
I suddenly reacted, this old man just asked me why Yabu and the others were with me, which obviously means that he knew the identity of these children in the first place!
"You knew each other before?" I asked, surprised.
The old man glanced at Yabu with a slightly worried gaze this time, and then nodded and continued, "Yes." โ
"! Did you ever torture her? You're really part of the Origin Project, aren't you?"
You must know that the scene in the lucid dream, especially in the final stage, when they pushed Qianqian through the large, morgue-like basement, the impact of that visual sense was not too strong.
The old man waved his hand and said, "I'm not a researcher, and I'm not part of the Origin Project. โ
"And who are you?"
"I ...... It's a ...... of Bluebird One of the shareholders......"
......
Shareholder?
Due to preconceived reasons, I have always thought that the Blue Bird Company was personally invested by Chen Lie, but now that I think about it, what the Blue Bird Company did before the catastrophe was not something that ordinary rich entrepreneurs could get up, so there must be a partnership investor here, that is, the shareholders that the old man is talking about now.
As he spoke, I looked closely at the man's countenance, and at the manner in which he had spoken to the other wanderers, and I realized that this man did have the shadow of a rich man.
You must know that one of the most important purposes of the Blue Bird Company at the beginning was to use the power of the Gu worm virus to achieve the goal of immortality, look at the appearance of this old man...... Could it be that he also invested in shares because he wanted to live forever?
"So...... They have modified your physique as well?" I asked, frowning.
The old man nodded.
"It's still ...... The results of Project Origin?" I asked.
He nodded again, as if he was afraid that I wouldn't believe me, and squeezed out some white psionic energy from the tips of his fingers......
His action instantly angered Yabu, who had just quieted down, again, and I hurriedly said to Zaka, "Don't let her be impulsive!
The old man laughed when he heard this, and his shriveled voice sounded as uncomfortable as a hacksaw.
"What are you laughing at!" I asked angrily, "Don't think I really won't kill you!"
"I understand. The old man said, "Don't you just want to know from me about lucid dreaming?"
"Yes, so you'd better tell me now! Otherwise, I'll make your life worse than death!"
This is not the attitude that juniors should have towards their elders. The old man still looked unfazed.
"Hehe, I don't care. I pointed to the corpses of the wanderers around me and said, "In this troubled world, you still expect me to respect the old and love the young?"
The old man nodded: "It makes sense, since you are so smart, why can't you even understand this little thing?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me! How did you control the actions of those Gu creatures?"
"Psionic energy. That's all the old man said.
"I know it's psionics! How?"
"Manipulation?" the old man looked at me with a little disdain now, "It's a feeling, not a method. โ
"I don't understand!"
At this moment, I suddenly felt something strange in the air around me, and I immediately became vigilant...... Is there another "man" who is trying to stop me from exploring the mystery of lucid dreaming?
I quickly looked around, but there was nothing but corpses and a few children on the ground.
I was just about to continue to ask the old man, when I suddenly heard a scream from each of the two woods on the oblique side in front of me, and then I saw that the old man's face changed suddenly, and he completely lost the calm appearance he had at the beginning.
And then ...... There was another series of screams of terror......
"Run!"
"There are ghosts!"
After a series of footsteps, the forest fell silent again.
"Go see what's going on!" I commanded Zaka.
Zaka nodded, and immediately ran in the direction of the two woods where he had just spoken, and the old man said to me with trembling lips, "You...... How did you find out?"
I was still wondering what I had found, when I saw that Xhaka had returned, with two bodies in tow.
Two corpses that were also old men......
I remembered in an instant, I saw three green dots close to us on the detector just now, and I guess when I caught this old man just now, his other two accomplices with the same ability to control lucid dreams were also ambushed in the woods and ready to attack me, no wonder this guy looks fearless.
Now seeing that his accomplice was killed, the old man finally couldn't hold it back, and he suddenly cried and begged with a sad face: "Xiao Chen...... Don't kill me! I just want to live! As long as you spare me! I'll tell you everything about lucid dreams!"
By this time, Xhaka had dragged the two bodies in front of me, and stammered, "Inside...... That's them...... Other...... Ran ......"
I immediately looked at the two corpses, and realized that they were obviously strangled to death, but unlike the madman's death before, they did not have my black handprints on their necks.
I can conclude that they were strangled to death because the two old men had their mouths wide open, their tongues exposed, and the great horror in their eyes.
Granny's ......
What is going on? Could it be that Qianqian killed them?
I still have a lot of value for her now, so she's secretly protecting me?
