Chapter 288: Underground (8)
"Uncle, what do you call it?" Seeing that the plan failed, Zhuge Fan immediately changed the topic, which is a kind of speaking technique, unconsciously first set a close, and then make a clichΓ©, and the effect has been tried and tested.
"The old man's surname is Jiu Ming, and he is known as Jiu Ye," the little old man said and stroked his beard.
"Jiuye, I have admired you for a long time, your name is like thunder, and the younger generation is rude. I wonder why you're stuck here?" Zhuge Fan changed his attitude and said respectfully.
Damn, your attitude has changed too quickly, hasn't it? Also, you've been looking up for a long time, huh? You don't know anyone at all, do you? Shulan couldn't help but complain in her heart?
This old man Qi Jiu obviously didn't eat this, he glanced at Zhuge Fan, "Boy, don't be flamboyant, it's not so easy for me to trick me, you let me out first, and then I'll tell you where the way out is." β
It seems that this plan is almost useless. So Zhuge Fan returned to his ruffian nature, "Old man, you are alone, there are four of us here, you can't beat us, you can't run, you can't run, what qualifications do you have to negotiate conditions with us?"
The old man Qi Jiu smiled instead, "I'm a corpse clansman, I don't grow old and don't die, but you're different, you will starve to death, I might as well tell you that my corpse core has long been transferred by me to a place in the lower half of my body, and you can't kill me if you don't let me out, let's consume it like this, see who dies first!" β
"Actually, I've always been curious, how strong is the recovery ability of the corpse people?" Zhuge Fan didn't continue to raise the bar with Old Man Qi Jiu, but looked at Old Man Qi Jiu, with excitement in his eyes, "Let me make an analogy, if I cut off your head, will you grow another head, and then that new head will be the same person as your old head?"
This is a chilling assumption, the human brain controls people's feelings, memory, thinking, etc., if the head is cut off, then the new head is no longer the previous head, but just a copy of the same memory and thinking, and if the regeneration ability of the corpse is particularly strong, a new one will grow immediately after the head is cut off, because the original head brain is not completely dead, then there will be such a scene, the original head will see its new head, And both heads have autonomous consciousness, that is, I see the other me, so am I still me?
It's scary to think about!
Shulan Ruo realized this in Zhuge Fan's words, and couldn't help but have a layer of white sweat on his back, if this is the case, if it is really like this, it is no wonder why the corpse people are so brutal, because they are no longer their original selves.
"Jiuye, what do you think?" Zhuge Fan tilted his head and looked at the old man Qi Jiu with his eyes like torches.
Old man Qi Jiu was stunned, and then his face became very ugly, and he looked extremely eerie in the dim firelight.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became very eerie.
After being silent like this for a few seconds, Zhuge Fan sighed, "Master Jiu, if I let your old man out, you can't break your word!" β
As soon as the old man Qi Jiu heard that he was saved, his face immediately blossomed with joy, "Young man, the most important thing for our older generation is credibility, you just put a hundred hearts, you go to the road to ask, my Jiu Ye has always said one thing and never broken his word." β
"How?" Zhuge Fan turned around and asked the other three.
Shulan Ruo's heart palpitated, but at the moment, it seemed that there was no other way out than this, so she could only nod.
Bai Ci and Wang Ziling didn't have any ideas, and they also agreed.
"How are I going to pull you out?" Zhuge Fan asked.
"The wall of the cave around me is not thick, it is not solid, you can break it if you have the tools." Old man Qi Jiu said.
So the three teenagers worked together, according to the old man Qi Jiu, to break the cave wall where his lower body was located with a machete, and dragged the old corpse clan out.
"Thank you, young man." The old man Qi Jiu regained his freedom, not to mention how happy he was, this boundless darkness and loneliness was finally coming to an end, and the old corpse clan actually shed two lines of tears with joy, and then, he did not break his promise and began to tell his story.
"Many years ago, I carried out a large-scale secret operation with the corpse army, but then the operation failed, our army suffered heavy losses, and the remaining troops have long since collapsed, and those who are still alive can only flee in all directions."
"Large-scale operations? What are you going to do? Zhuge Fan interjected and asked.
"I don't know, I'm just an ordinary corpse, how can I be qualified to know the specific content? I've just heard that we're looking for something. Old man Qi Jiu said.
"Okay." Zhuge Fan nodded and motioned for Old Man Qi Jiu to continue.
"I was lucky not to die, in the process of fleeing, we encountered many dangers, and then we came here, we tried to escape from the hole we dug when we came, but the enemy found out where we were, in the process of avoiding the enemy, I found a small hole next to the tunnel, which can be entered by a person on his stomach, which is the hole I am in now, I was so determined to run for my life, I climbed in without thinking.
Originally, the whole journey was very smooth, who knew that when I crawled out of the hole with half of my body, there was a violent vibration from nowhere, the hole suddenly collapsed, pressed down, coincidentally, the falling stone was a little concave, but stuck in my waist, at that time my lower body was unconscious, but it could not be broken, although I can cut off my waist, I am a corpse, cut off the waist will not die, but the corpse nucleus in the lower body, will regrow the upper body, I still can't escape this small hole. β
