Chapter 104: The Strange Boy (5)

Wang Yao watched Zhou Ji's back walk away, and after standing in place for a while, he turned around and walked quickly to Qiao Liang's side, maintaining a friendly smile on his face, leaning over and saying:

"Alright. Now it's time to talk about your work and mine. Can you tell me a little bit about how you got this hole? ”

Qiao Liang's eyes dodged, and he whispered, "How can I do it?" It's so easy to dig a hole, you can just make it yourself, why do you have to ask me, like I have some amazing skill......"

Wang Yao's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this, although he still kept smiling, but the words he said had begun to be ruthless:

"Of course, the average person has the skill to dig out an abyss without digging a hole. But there are some special 'chosen ones' here, and that's different. Unless ......"

With a cold look in his eyes, he said lightly:

"Unless, unless, somebody is lying."

Qiao Liang twisted his body uneasily, his eyes rolled around, but his mouth was very hard: "What are you talking about!" What was chosen, are you a Marvel fan or an otaku, real life is not acting in a movie, where is there any special person! You're really crazy, let me go quickly! ”

It was exactly as I imagined.

Wang Yao sneered.

The boy's desire to become a hero was intense, but he was also well aware that his ideas would be ridiculed. He must be desperate to make a difference, but he will never admit it until he succeeds, and will even criticize this idea on the side of the opposition in order to cover himself.

But he also has a bottom line that he can't touch no matter what, and that is to admit that he lied and admitted that he didn't do anything. He is so conflicted, longing for others to be convinced of his actions, and on the other hand, he is afraid that he will become an ostracized outlier, which is why he exhibits avoidance behaviors that even three-year-olds can clearly see.

Of course, Qiao Liang is also very likely to be really lying. A person who desperately wants to be a hero, once mistakenly labeled as a great man, even if he has nothing to do with it, will deliberately bear the false name without admitting or denying it under the influence of vanity.

Therefore, what the final result is, not only Wang Yao is trying to test here, but also Zhou Ji can provide valuable clues.

Thinking of this, Wang Yao's hypocritical smile disappeared instantly, and he asked with a cold expression:

"You'd better not play tricks on me, there's a limit to my patience. If I hadn't tried anything, would I still have a glimmer of anticipation for the crazy words of a kid like you? Don't look at me like that! Doubt yes? Hehe, it doesn't hurt to tell you. In fact, I had already dug a hole more than ten meters deep in this vicinity according to the normal method before, but there was no huge hole exposed. ”

Wang Yao's words were not made up out of thin air. He was the calmest of the few people who understood the horrors of the underground cavity, and he was able to work and live unhurriedly on the ground, which was the sense of security that this strange thing brings. And that bad thing, of course——————

He used the machine to dig down more than ten meters in a number of locations within the area estimated to be covered by the abyss, far beyond the depth of the small hole leading to the abyss at Sea Flag High School, but did not dig the abyss. After that, he couldn't find a reason anyway, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being. Although things are getting more and more strange and inexplicable, Wang Yao is at ease because of this, at least he knows that the ground under his feet in some places is solid and will not collapse at any time.

But although there is no follow-up to his discovery, it should be very interesting, right?

Sure enough, Qiao Liang was immediately stunned when he heard this, he stared at Wang Yao with wide eyes, as if he understood or not, and stammered and asked:

"What? What did you say? You just said...... Is that...... What do you mean? ”

Hooked.

Wang Yao smiled secretly in his heart. Immediately, he struck while the iron was hot, pretending to be impatient and mysteriously and said:

"What do you ask, you don't understand? I'm making that clear, right? I dug a lot, but I couldn't dig into the abyss below. That's why I need someone with special abilities to help me! Alas...... But it doesn't look like you have that talent, so I'll let you go. ”

As he spoke, Wang Yao stood up, took out the Swiss Army knife from the key in his pocket, and cut the hemp rope that bound Qiao Liang's ankle. During this period, he naturally kept worrying that he had gambled on Qiao Liang's psychology wrongly, so he kept moving slowly, expecting Qiao Liang to react to change the status quo.

But he was disappointed. Until five or six ropes were broken on the ground, Qiao Liang was silent. Wang Yao couldn't help but sigh lightly, and his heart sank.

However, just as he was about to cut the hemp rope on Qiao Liang's wrist, Qiao Liang, whose legs were free, suddenly bounced up from the ground.

"Wait!"

Wang Yao was overjoyed, and immediately looked up at Qiao Liang, and immediately found that the cowardly and complicated expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by an indescribable perseverance and excitement. It was as if he had broken away from his weak and withered remains, and in that moment he had suddenly transformed into a superman flying above the sky for people to look up to, the great victim destined to become a hero of humanity.

At this time, Qiao Liang ignored his hands that were still tied, his cheeks were red, and he said loudly to Wang Yao:

"I can do it! I'm different from everyone else, I am, I'm ...... No, no, I have that talent! Me, I...... can help you! I'll help you, go dig this hole! ”

Wang Yao only smiled slightly when he heard this. His expression soothed, and he replied calmly:

"That's great. I'm not wrong, we're going to be partners. Please advise me. ”

——————————

Just when Wang Yao was agitating Qiao Liang, a phone call from Zhou Ji had just ended. He was already standing at the school gate, contacting a car rental agency, waiting for the store to deliver the sports car he had rented.

And his next destination is Qiao Liang's home.

The phone call just now, Zhou Ji dialed out according to the contact information provided by Wang Yao. He called the principal of Haiqi High School and asked him if there was a person named Qiao Liang in the school. The principal immediately said that he couldn't remember everyone who worked and studied in the school, so he asked Zhou Ji to wait for a while, he needed to go to the school's entry system to check, and then call back later.

Just when Zhou Ji and the others were already impatient, the person from the rental car company sent the car over, and at the same time, the principal's phone also came, and he informed Zhou Ji that there were a total of 6 people named Qiao Liang in the school now. One of them is a security guard, one is a cleaner who is responsible for cleaning up the school's garbage, and the remaining four are all students, distributed among the first, second and third grades of high school.

After Principal Zhou Jiyao passed on the files of several students with photos, he easily found the face of Qiao Liang they had just met in it. There was also Qiao Liang's home address and contact information on the file, so he decided to leave for the young man's house immediately, and after thinking of a perfect set of lobbying words, he was ready for a protracted battle with Qiao Liang's relatives for Qiao Liang's power to stay outside.

However, the next development of events was greatly beyond his expectations.
