Chapter 37: A Story of Love
Actually, the principle is very simple.
In extreme silence, if someone suddenly continues to shout loudly in your ear, it can cause momentary cardiac arrest due to fear.
And the explosion of the heart, simply put, is to be caught off guard, in the heart of others to send out the strongest decibel cry.
It's different from scaring people to death, but the principle is pretty much the same.
This method does not need to be conducted by the ear, and directly acts on the human brain, which requires extremely high mental power to do.
The masked prisoner moved his head and seemed to be awake.
"You're awake, can you speak?" Qi Zhen asked.
The masked prisoner shook his head as Qi Zhen spoke.
It seems that not only the face is covered, but even the mouth is blocked.
In the dim light, Qi Zhen found the lock of the wooden cell.
Begin to tinker with feelings.
Qi Zhen's unlocking was naturally learned from Li San.
I still remember that Qi Zhen asked Li San at that time if he could really use instant noodles to open the door of a community.
Li San joked at the time that instant noodles were too thick, and sometimes used somen noodles.
Later, when preparing the hall, Qi Zhen carefully asked Li San, is there a lock in this world that you Li San can't unlock?
Li San's original words are, if you haven't seen it, you can't solve it.
This slightly suspicious sentence made Qi Zhen really a little awe-inspired.
So Qi Zhen asked Li San if you need any professional tools.
Li San said no, two paper clips, and there is basically no way to block his door in this world.
Qi Zhen asked him what to do with the electronic lock?
Li San said that you still don't understand when you look at it, although the key to unlock the lock is strange, the way to lock it is similar.
It doesn't matter if you are a fingerprint password or a face-brushing lock, the door is still blocking people in the end, and the door is stuck by those lock cylinders.
Qi Zhen thought about it and said that the third brother would like you to teach me?
Li San said that there is no problem with teaching, so can you make me improve my strength to a higher level?
Qi Zhen said this is simple, I will let you go up three levels, and each skill will help you become a thief god.
On that day, Li San taught Qi Zhen how to unlock the lock, and Qi Zhen taught Li San how to use skills.
The paper clip has now become a must-have for Li San and Qi Zhen.
Li San, as Qi Zhen's locksmith, the first thing he taught Qi Zhen was that the more anxious you are, the more he can't open it.
So first you have to be still.
The second is to open the lock in the end, it is by feeling, you have to have a lock in your heart, you can open the lock under your hand, after the paper clip is poked in, the lock in your heart has to move with the lock in your hand.
In addition, there is no need for a light to open a lock, and a paper clip is inserted into the lock, and the darkness helps to calm down.
The locks in this game are all ancient locks, which are indeed a bit trivial compared to the thieves who have been systematically taught in modern times.
Even so, Qi Zhen spent nearly a stick of incense.
With a click, the lock was quietly unlocked by Qi Zhen.
Tiptoeing off the chain on the door, Qi Zhen walked into the cell.
Remove the mask from the prisoner's head.
Qi Zhen looked fixedly, and sure enough, his mouth was blocked.
What is not so surprising to Qi Zhen is that this prisoner is actually not so fierce and vicious.
There is no possibility that two people are scared to death by one face in the legend of passers-by in the inn, and naturally it is impossible to scare five people to death by one face as the two soldiers at the door said.
And frankly speaking, this prisoner can even be said to be delicate.
By the light, Qi Zhen took out the strip of cloth that was blocked in the prisoner's mouth, and said "don't shout".
It doesn't look like the prisoners have been tortured or beaten.
It's just that Qi Zhen really saw four words from his face.
The heart is like death.
The prisoner nodded, but did not speak.
"I ask, you answer." Qi Zhen is concise and to the point.
"Childe, please speak." In this dark environment, physical humiliation is far less terrible than mental torture.
So his voice was a little weak.
"Who are you?" Qi Zhen asked.
"My name is Zheng Sinan." Zheng Sinan said.
"Good name, you're a woman?" Qi Zhen asked.
"It's not that I miss a man, don't make fun of me." Zheng Sinan smiled miserably.
"Why was he arrested?"
"Save people."
"Who to save?"
"My wife."
"Your wife is a goblin?"
Zheng Sinan raised his head suddenly, staring at Qi Zhen's eyes, as if he wanted to see something,
Qi Zhen looked at him for a long time.
After a long silence, Zheng Sinan still lowered his head.
"Yes." Zheng Sinan said in a deep voice.
Qi Zhen let out a sigh of relief, and she couldn't imagine that she was really crooked when she guessed casually.
The reason is because the two soldiers outside the door said that Zheng Sinan had something to do with Yuemengshan.
And the matter of Yuemengshan is naturally a thing for monsters to hurt people.
"I don't have any prejudice against demons, next, you say, I'll listen." Qi Zhen said.
"Uchiko and I met at Moondream Mountain."
Zheng Sinan didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, maybe he suddenly felt that at this time, I am afraid that the person in front of him is his only hope.
Even if he wasn't, he still wanted his story to be known.
The story is not complicated, but it is touching enough.
Three years ago, Yuemeng Silk began to appear in Yuemeng Mountain.
What is Moon Dream Silk?
Naturally, it's not really silk.
Rather, it is the skin shed by an animal called a mulberry snake.
A group of mulberry snakes migrated to the vicinity of Yuemeng Mountain three years ago.
Settle down.
The Mulberry Snake clan is born with spirituality, and it is said that it is a side branch of the descendants of Nuwa, and those with strong spiritual power in the clan can cultivate into a human form, and they have become the monsters of Yuemeng Mountain that people say in their mouths.
Mulberry snakes don't like to see people, they like to go out at night, which is why very few people can see mulberry snakes.
The mulberry snake sheds its skin once a year, and the shed skin is useless to the human race, but the spiritual power carried on the skin is still extremely effective for the human race.
After the skin falls off the snake's body, it will become filamentous within an hour, which should be due to the confusion of spiritual power in the cortex.
Mulberry snakes also never cared about the humans who picked up the skin, because there were enough mulberry snakes in this family, and there were not many people who picked up the snake's skin, so it could not affect them.
Until the government began to enter Yuemengshan on a large scale to search.
It was at that time that Zheng Sinan met the wife of the Mulberry Snake who had already turned into a human form.
Because Zheng Sinan was one of the first soldiers to enter Yuemeng Mountain to search.
There is actually no bumpy or thrilling story about the encounter between the two.
He met her.
She was a little scared.
He said don't be afraid, are you lost? I'll take you out.
The disillusioned clothes on her body disappeared, and she tried to turn back into her original form and escape.
Who can withstand this!
He said I would marry you.
She didn't speak from beginning to end, only one word at this point: "Huh? ”
Zheng Sinan felt that he couldn't forget her in his life.
Where does she know what human love is.
What is love at first sight.
She's a snake.
But he understands.
So they were together.
Zheng Sinan has become the one who works hardest to search for Yuemeng silk, and it can be said that there are no days and nights.
He also became the one who got the most moon dream silk.
So he always had the most money.
Zheng Sinan thinks that this may be called no regrets in life.
The Mulberry Snake clan protects themselves very well and hardly has any contact with humans in the outside world, except for Zheng Sinan, of course.
The two of them also tacitly concealed this from their respective races.
More than two years have passed, and everyone is still safe, but this delicate balance will always be broken.
Because human desires and demands are endless.
No matter how fast the snake molts, it can't be searched for by anyone, so there are fewer and fewer Yuemeng silks.
However, Zheng Sinan was still able to retrieve a lot of silk every time.
Someone began to follow Zheng Sinan.
So the matter was quickly exposed.
Zheng Sinan has an affair with a monster!
In fact, who cares about this?
Everyone is still more concerned about Yuemeng silk.
Under severe torture, Zheng Sinan only told the person he trusted the most about this matter, and that person promised him that he would not harm the Mulberry Snake clan, but Yuemeng Silk still wanted it, and he would consider this matter as appropriate.
But he never saw his wife again.
He began to be sent to guard the perimeter of Moonlight Mountain, a bit like a guard dog.
One day after a few months, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked into Yuemengshan from another path that he often walked with his wife.
Heaven may always make a person encounter a coincidental thing at a certain coincidental time and place, like a big joke.
It was a scene he will never forget.
They didn't know how to catch the snake and put it in an iron cage, and then someone was responsible for slaughtering and skinning.
The peeled skin exuded a glowing light in the night, and the spiritual power contained in it was obviously not comparable to the skin shed by the mulberry snake.
He understood that in the face of interests, many feelings that seemed unbreakable were not worth mentioning.
There was a fire in him that he couldn't extinguish.
So he found the man he trusted and loudly reprimanded him for his actions.
He didn't know that most of the mulberry snakes had already received the police training and went to the depths of Yuemeng Mountain.
He was like a piece of meat brought to his mouth, and he was quickly caught.
They suspected that he, the only one who had anything to do with the snake, knew where the beasts were hiding.
Don't say you don't know, even if you know, he won't say.
It doesn't matter if it's drying up and fishing, or killing chickens and eggs, anyway, in the eyes of those people, only interests are the most important.
Now, during the day, there is a group of people pretending to search for the so-called Moon Dream Silk.
But at night, there will be professional snake catchers into the mountains to catch snakes, after all, most of the snake snakes are just starting to be intelligent, as long as there is an instinct for food needs, it is not difficult for humans to catch.
In the end, the person he trusted very much told him that he didn't want to wait for Zheng Sinan to wake up any longer.
He wants to lead an army to search the mountains, kill snakes, and take skins!
And it was also at this time that rumors began to circulate in the city that monsters hurt people.
Lord Chincha is about to arrive, and God knows how much profit and power they can take from it.
Yesterday, Zheng Sinan, who did not enter the oil and salt, was sent back to the City Patrol Division by him who couldn't bear it.
The reason why he covered his mouth was not because of his vicious appearance, but because he was afraid that he would tell the truth.
As for why he didn't kill him, Zheng Sinan himself didn't know.
But he doesn't have any illusions about this world now, and it's better to die than to live like this.
But perhaps because of his own induction in the dark, Zheng Sinan always felt that his wife was still alive.
The man promised him to send his wife back to join him anyway.
Even if she's a goblin.
The person that Zheng Sinan completely trusts is naturally Zhao Xuance.
Qi Zhen recalled that rather heroic face, but there was no way to connect it with what Zheng Sinan said.
After listening to the story told by Zheng Sinan, Qi Zhen hesitated.
The person in front of him must not be the vicious murderer who is rumored to be.
However, is the truth covered up by a lie really the truth that Qi Zhen heard?
Is that Zhao Xuance really a hypocritical person who puts his interests first and disregards loyalty?
Who should be trusted?
