36 Thou art dead
The orange fire shines silently, alternating between shadow and light, adding to the mystery in the deep cave.
The silence was shattered, except for the occasional burst of firewood as torches burned, breaking the silence in the cave.
Hanzo, who gradually regained consciousness, slowly opened his eyes, and little by little he adapted to the light outside.
When he was fully awake, Hanzo's eyes widened, not the surroundings, but Hanzo found himself naked and submerged in the green liquid, with a long tube in his mouth, which made him nauseous and uncomfortable.
"Goo!" Pulling out the hose, Hanzo was not fully controlled and every part of his body was filled with several mouthfuls of liquid. Quickly closing his mouth and enduring the discomfort, Hanzo observed the environment here.
An enclosed space, square-like a box, with only a passage in the corner that leads to nowhere. Dozens of fluorescent lamps in the zenith shine downward and emit a faint cold light, and there are several glass columns erected around them, which are also soaked in an unknown liquid, and there are constantly bubbles rising up, and the things inside are different, some of them have human bodies in them, some of them are all kinds of snakes, and there is a white snake coiled around them in the most central column, all of which do not know life and death. Underneath there is a lab bench with a variety of test tubes and solutions and a variety of soaked-treated organs. There was also an operating table next to it, covered with a blood-stained white cloth over the body of an unknown person, with only two feet exposed.
After scanning around, he didn't find anyone, and Hanzo didn't care to dig into what kind of place this was, so he found a fulcrum in the pipe column and struck hard, breaking the pipe wall and turning it out along the water.
Probably because of the sudden drop in water pressure, with a "wow" sound, Hanzo vomited out, maybe because he had been in a coma for a long time, there was nothing in his stomach, and all he spit out was sour water and nothing dirty.
Hanzo gasped vigorously, calming his body with deep breaths, and then there was a steady footstep sound of "tick-tock" in his ears, and he looked up at the dark passage, vigilantly watching the place where the sound came from.
"Wake up, Hanzo. Don't be so uneasy, you can cultivate here with peace of mind, and no one will come here. ”
The person who came walked in unhurriedly and said calmly, with a little pride in his words.
"Orochimaru!"
Seeing the visitor, Hanzo suddenly realized that although he didn't know how Orochimaru found him, he immediately realized that the Orochimaru who swallowed himself before he fell unconscious was the masterpiece of the other party, and this is probably the research base of Orochimaru.
Although they were acquaintances, Hanzo didn't feel that he was really safe, he would rather he drift away with the current before, and Orochimaru's danger level was not comparable to survival in the wild.
Originally, the place where Hanzo chose to fight was discovered by accident. During a search, an object on Hanzo's body fell and was later found on the beach, and Hanzo realized that there was an undercurrent leading to the sea.
According to Hanzo's own vision, he fought the enemy here, and then used the detonation charm to create a sign of death with the enemy, and dived into the sea by himself, and then fled away, after all, his own smell in the water would be covered.
"Why are you so wary of me, my savior, Hanzo? What's more, do you think I'm really going to hurt you and you have a chance of surviving? Orochimaru spread his hands and put on a helpless look.
Hanzo let down his vigilance when he thought that this was indeed the case, of course, he didn't believe a word about Orochimaru's words, after all, there were so many corpses next to him that he would become Orochimaru's research object if he didn't pay attention.
"That's right! There's no need to be so vigilant, I won't hurt you, at least not now. ”
Hanzo was speechless, and complained in his heart: "Don't you want to be so straightforward, man!" "Although Hanzo himself knows that Orochimaru didn't kill himself now to study because he has some value, and if he didn't use it that day, he might be wasted, but in the face of Orochimaru saying it so bluntly, he really didn't know how to respond.
After a moment of conversation, Orochimaru said harshly: "I don't understand a little, why Hanzo didn't look surprised when you saw that this was a place that belonged to me, but suddenly realized? ”
Orochimaru's murderous aura shrouded Hanzo, Hanzo's body was completely frozen, and cold sweat flowed, if it weren't for Hanzo, it was really hard to say the reason, maybe he wouldn't be able to stick to it, after all, once he read the comics, he knew that some things about Orochimaru couldn't be told at all, and when he said it, he would definitely be slicing and studying.
Seeing that Hanzo had persisted for so long and still hadn't given up resisting, Orochimaru put away his murderous aura, "It seems that you are still a bit of a secret Hanzo, but it doesn't matter, as long as you don't do something irrational, I won't care about you, but it's a bit remarkable to be able to hold on to this level in the face of the suppression of my momentum, beyond my original impression of you." ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Hearing Orochimaru's promise not to pursue and praise, Hanzo still felt a little proud in his heart, and he responded easily after relaxing.
"By the way, Orochimaru-sama, this is your shadow clone? Also Where is this? Isn't it dangerous to be found so close to the camp? ”
"Of course it's a shadow clone, that's a good guess, but who told you that this is near the camp, how could I be stupid to do such a risky thing?"
Seeing that Hanzo was a little stunned, Orochimaru continued: "In order to avoid trouble, the place I chose is far away from the battlefield of the Five Great Powers, and what better place is there than the Land of Iron that is free of ninjas and wanders outside the war?" ”
"Iron Country, how is it possible? Even if the shadow clone could be hidden here, how could I, a living person, bring it so easily? Unless you know how to do space ninjutsu, the key is whether you will? Feeling incredulous at Orochimaru's answer, Hanzo couldn't help but retort, not wanting to think about who was standing opposite.
"I don't know how to do space ninjutsu, but as long as I use spiritism well, I can still achieve such an effect."
"Reverse Channeling!" Hanzo understood how Orochimaru did it. After answering this doubt, Hanzo just wanted to ask some more information, but was interrupted by Orochimaru.
"Okay, that's the end of the question, I didn't save you to answer your questions, enter the second door on the left side of the passage, that's the residence I prepared for you, go in and have a good rest, and start cooperating with my work tomorrow."
"Got it, but can you answer my last question?"
"Say it!"
"How long am I going to work here? And Kai, how are they. ”
Orochimaru didn't answer Hanzo directly, but said in an inexplicable tone: "I've seen too many people die, so as your current boss, it's very pointless to remind you not to have too many emotions." Yoshikawa and the enemy perished, Dai also died, and only Kai survived. ”
Seeing Hanzo's relief, Orochimaru said again, "You may not understand what I mean, I said that only Kai survived to mean that you are also dead." ”
"But I'm obviously .......," Hanzo understood halfway through speaking, and said with a wry smile: "Didn't you plan to let me fake my death so that I could do these jobs for you?" ”
"Isn't that what you're thinking? faked his death and disappeared in everyone's eyes. I saved you to show that I was in the place you designed, I already know what you wanted, and I made the scene more realistic, you should thank me! ”
"So, I'm all there is to be here, right?" The more Hanzo listened, the colder he became, a little desperate.
"Yes, let's rest!"
Orochimaru said this, and his words were incomprehensible.
