34 Mysterious Masked Man
Well, it almost threw me out of the hole.
The masked man grabbed my ankles and hung me in the air outside the hole.
My blood was pouring all over my head, and I felt so uncomfortable that I wanted to vomit, but I couldn't.
Above my head were the fires, and around the fires were laughter.
Now I'm hallucinating because I seem to see stars in the sky.
I think, in fact, there is no difference between the top and the bottom and the left and right in this world, and the universe is not something that we mortals can comprehend, just like a mole cricket does not know the spring and autumn......
But I shouted, "Get me down!" β
The masked man laughed: "Aren't you looking for death?" β
Those above me heard it and looked up at me. A few children of seven or eight years old ran over, and they jumped as they ran, and they jumped three or four meters at random. It reminds me of when I was a kid and used to feed grasshoppers to dogs.
If the masked man let go, I would have broken into a pulp, and the wild man would roast me and eat me; Or, as soon as the masked man let go, the savages caught me in the air, just like the dogs caught grasshoppers in the air, but the dogs didn't try to save the grasshoppers, they swallowed the grasshoppers in one gulp, and the savages must have torn me apart in the air, or roasted me alive, maybe my feet were roasted, and my head was still raw, so I saw that they were eating my feet......
Thinking of this, I struggled and shouted, "Wait a minute, wait until I'm done!" I'll be honest, every word is true! β
My voice trembled, and I couldn't even make out it was me. It's not like I'm pretending to be - I often pretend, but this time it's not, and I'm scared!
The masked man threw me back into the little hole.
I hurriedly climbed inside, for fear of falling again. I said, "Don't kill me!" β
Masked Man: "Why?" β
Me: "Because you don't want to kill me." β
Masked Man: "Why?" β
Me: "If you were going to kill me, you would have killed me a long time ago, then why are you still asking me why I said you don't want to kill me, why are you playing with me like this......"
Masked Man: "You talk a lot of nonsense!" I don't like people who talk a lot of nonsense! You give me a reason, a real reason why I won't kill you! β
I thought about it for a moment and said, "Because I'm going to get you out." β
He sneered.
I said, "Despair is hope, and hope is despair." The future is unknown. Even if I knew all the things that had gone before, even if I had anything to do with all the things that had gone before, even if I had predicted everything that had gone before, I had nothing to do with the future. However, I have a greater probability of going out than those who know nothing. I ask you, am I the most special person thrown from above? If you think I'm not, kill me. If you think I am, you can leave me because you will have a glimmer of hope to go out. I never packed a ticket for you to get out, I never believed that I could get out, but I can only trust me to go out because that's the only meaning I have right now, like faith. What is faith, faith is to believe in what is not credible. Why don't you die? Because you want to get out. Why don't I die? Because I believe I can get out. β
The Masked Man was silent for a moment and said, "I think you can be trusted. I've been looking at you from beginning to end for months, and I feel like there's hope for you. I think there are two kinds of people in this world, one is hopeful and the other is hopeless. There are clear boundaries and even chasms between them. However, the people I have seen are hopeless, they are even exactly the same, and there is not even a hint of hope. Except, of course, for you. β
I let out a breath.

The masked man said, "Tell me about you, don't lie to me!" Oriental foal! β
I was actually going to fool him, but his last "Oriental Horse" scared the hell out of me. He even knew my nameβeven though it was my old nameβso I'd better not lie to him.
I had to tell everything about it, but I omitted it.
I first talked about how the Ming Emperor Zhu Zhaotian was killed by Li Yongfu.
The masked man laughed when he heard this: "Sure enough, insiders know the truth!" But it's the same as I thought. It's bad luck to be an emperor! β
I talked about the Ming Emperor Zhu Honghua in those years.
The masked man laughed: "The one in Hebei is really a pseudo-prophet, it turns out to be a technique spread by the inner court in order to weaken the imperial army." Haha, I knew it was a good thing you guys did! I told others, but they didn't believe me. Ha ha! There is no God, no Son of God, no prophets, all pretending to be gods, I know! You know why? Because they're all in a little fight! The true Son of God is yet to come! β
Then I told about Liu Xingchao's escape from Mount Tai.
The masked man commented: "He must have eaten 'drunk life and dream death'." β
Then I told about Liu Xingchao's proclamation as emperor and about my escape. Of course, I didn't say what I did, but pushed all this to Zhao Yuyang.
The masked man said with a solemn expression: "Crown Prince Zhao Yuyang is the son of God?" β
I said, "What are you talking about?" Do you also believe in such nonsense as the 'Son of God' and 'Prophet'? He just peeked at the books of the Senate and did what they did. It's great to discover and invent these things, he's a fart! β
Masked Man: "Not bad, actually." People in the world are the most stupid, you ask him to read the books of the Senate, and they can't read it. β
Me: "That is, there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings." The world is full of rubbish, and when a normal person comes out, people make a fuss. β
Masked Man: "Are you jealous of the Crown Prince?" β
I was almost: "What? Am I jealous of him? His power plant had nothing to do with him, he just dug up an ancient thing that would discharge indefinitely, and then installed wires. As for explosives and poison gas, they all learned from the Royal Arsenal, and people would have done it. As for that super gas, that ...... That's what he learned from the books of the Senate. β
Masked Man: "I've heard of poison gas, but what is super gas?" β
Me: "A very powerful gas. A few days ago, I heard from someone who had just been thrown down that the Han Dynasty was already attacking everywhere, and when attacking, one cannon was fired first, and a city would be wiped out with one shot. Inside that cannon is super poison gas. That poison gas was stolen from the Senateβbefore the Senate was eliminated. β
The masked man nodded: "Yes, I heard that the big man is so fierce now." I heard that the Han was preparing to attack Qicheng, the temporary capital of the Ming Dynasty. β
I shook my head: "There's no hope for the big man. β
Masked Man: "Why?" β
Me: "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty is going crazy, since Li Feiyu's death, he has attacked and attacked like crazy. Crown Prince Zhao Yuyang is not smart either, he just thinks he is smart. The emperor is a madman, the crown prince is also a madman, they have no descendants, they have no friends, and their only trace and meaning in this world is: to destroy this world. β
Masked Man: "How can they perish when they are so powerful?" β
Me: "That's because there's something more powerful!" They are so crazy that they will definitely anger Sichuan and the Holy Land. They can't beat Sichuan! As long as Sichuan is not afraid of the dead, it is very easy to eliminate the Han Dynasty. Not to mention the Holy Land, of course. β
The Mask Man was thoughtful.
I continued: "We were thrown down by the Great Han, if the Great Han is destroyed, will we be released?" β
The masked man laughed: "You're thinking too much!" However, it is also a good idea. β

I asked him, "You know all about this." Who are you? Was also a member of the Inner Court before? β
The masked man said, "Yes, my name is Xin Yongqiu, the eunuch of the inner court of the palace, just like you. β
I was pleasantly surprised and said, "Ah! It turned out to be a senior! β
I immediately frowned and said, "Xin? It's the first time I've heard of it, and I thought it was extinct. I remember that he died hundreds of years ago, because it was the surname of the previous dynasty, which was killed by the Ming Dynasty, and then it was expressly forbidden by the "Ming King James Law". Ah, what dynasty was the previous dynasty, the Song Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty? β
Xin Yongqiu said: "It's the Min Dynasty." The children and grandchildren of the royal family have changed their surnames and fled to Lingnan. But they seem to have returned to China now. β
Me: "I see...... I don't really know that...... Are you a descendant of the royal family of the previous dynasty? β
Xin Yongqiu: "No...... I don't have anything to do with them. This surname was chosen by me at random. Decades ago, I was thrown down by the governor Li Yongfu. When I changed my surname to Xin, and then named myself 'Yongqiu', I told myself that I would kill Li Yongfu, and even destroy the Ming Dynasty, and always remember my hatred! β
Me: "You also know Li Yongfu! However, he was already dead and was killed by Liu Xingchao. β
Xin Yongqiu: "Yes." He deserved to die. β
There were countless questions that came to my mind.
I asked him: "You are from the inner court, why are your martial arts so good?" β
Xin Yongqiu: "I ate a lot of 'drunk life and dream death'. β
I asked, "Are there no side effects?" β
Xin Yongqiu: "Look at my facial features, this is the side effect." β
Me: "When did Li Yongfu throw you down?" When? β
Xin Yongqiu: "Hmm...... Decades ago, I forgot, because it's been so long. β
Me: "Do you know Zhao Lizhu?" Also a man of the inner court. β
Xin Yongqiu: "I haven't heard of it. He must have gone later. β
There was silence for a while.
He asked, "Why don't you speak?" β
I looked up: "You lied to me! You're not from the Inner Court at all! The first thing that every inner court person enters the palace is to memorize the names of dozens of generations of governors, and they are all familiar with their avatars. Zhao Lizhu is the boss of the first three floors and one of the managers, and you actually said that you haven't seen him! - You just beat him half to death! β
"Haha......" he smiled awkwardly - I can't tell if he was smiling or not, and I don't know if he was embarrassed or not - because he was a masked man.
I continued, "What the hell did you do before?" Why can't you do it, why are you pretending to be someone from our inner court? β

The masked man's left eyeball rolls to the left, his right eyeball to the right, and then begins to move quickly from side to side, and then to the top and bottom.
Well, this time "Interrogation" is completely useless.
Me: "Who the hell are you?" β
Him: "I must tell you: I am the Son of God. β
I laughed.
Him: "I don't believe I'm the Son of God?" Do you think I was trapped underground, so I didn't deserve to be the Son of God? β
Me: "I don't believe there is a Son of God." β
His eyes were fixed on me and he said, "I am the Son of God." β
Me: "You are the Son of God who turns the world upside down?" β
He doesn't speak.
Me: "You can't turn the world upside down, otherwise, why are you stuck here, like us?" β
Him: "It doesn't mean that I can't in the future, I am convinced that I will turn the world upside down." β
Me: "Ha, a hard-working son of God, or rather, a mortal who wants to be the son of God." β
He doesn't speak.
Me: "Who the hell are you?" β
Him: "I am the Son of God." β
He looked into the distance.
Here's what he said:
