Chapter 21: What is the Truth?
"I did this, of course, for my son, you have to take good care of him when you go out, and don't come back, never again," Osmanthus said this, her face gloomy.
"You mean to say that we take Xiao Jia away? But Xiao Jia may not be willing to go," Huang Jun pretended to be confused.
"Take away? No, you don't have to take it away, it's not worth taking away, even if you take it, it won't go, if you still want to take it away, then, none of you can go" Osmanthus said.
"If we don't take Xiao Jia away, how can we take care of him?" Huang Jun continued to pretend to be confused.
"I don't believe you can't see that it's not my son that you brought here," Osmanthus said angrily.
"Not your son? So, who is it? Huang Jundao, this is his real purpose, and now he just wants to know the details of this so-called "Xiao Jia".
"Who is it? It's the same kind as me, no, it's sent by them, they won't even let my son go, but I will never let them get better" Osmanthus said, becoming more and more emotional.
Huang Jun looked at Osmanthus and suddenly felt that he lacked the necessary understanding of his enemies, and if he didn't take the opportunity to grasp more information, then in the future struggle, they might lose badly. Thinking of this, Huang Jundeng had a plan in his heart.
"Although I don't want to ask, I must tell you that Xiao Jia is very good with us, but if you continue to say such things without substance, that is to say, we don't know anything about our next situation, then we don't have the confidence to take care of your son, and even, we don't know what we are going to encounter or what kind of fate your son will face," Huang Jun said one by one.
"What do you want to say?" Osmanthus obviously also noticed that this group of people was led by Huang Jun, so it was not a pretense to Shu Yao and Wen Hai, but Shu Yao and the others did not care, and they were also very convinced of Huang Jun's ability.
"What do I want to say? Are you still pretending to be confused? If you don't tell us anything, then we can't do anything," Huang Jun said angrily.
"Are you threatening me? If you don't do anything, then you will never be able to get out," Osmanthus said coldly.
"So what? If you don't say anything, the ending is still the same for us. Huang Jun did not show weakness, he knew that at this moment, only Osmanthus could help them, so he had to persuade Osmanthus to help them willingly, otherwise, in a situation like now, Osmanthus is obviously conditionally able to help them, once they lose their use value, they may not even know how to die, Huang Jun doesn't like this feeling, too insecure.
"Well, what the hell do you want to know" Osmanthus sighed, as if compromised.
"We want to know everything, we want to know what's going on in this village, why we're here, what we've encountered, what's the best thing that brought us in, and what's your relationship with those shadows? We want to know everything, and only when we know everything can we help you, otherwise, we can't even protect ourselves, how can we help you? Huang Jun said.
Osmanthus looked at Huang Jun and thought for a while: "I can tell you, but, please believe me, I don't tell you for your good, and definitely not for any other purpose."
Huang Jun raised his head and said, "That's our problem, don't bother with you."
Osmanthus said: "Okay, since you are so stubborn, I can't say anything." Let me start with the last question, you ask me what is my relationship with those shadows? Well, you must have seen those shadows, haven't you? ”
"Of course, we have seen it, not only inside the village, but outside the village," Huang said.
"What? Have you seen a shadow out there, too? This, this, how this should be good" Osmanthus changed his expression.
"Now, you should tell us, what are those shadows, and what does it have to do with you?" Huang Jundao.
"Actually, actually, strictly speaking, those shadows are us, we are those shadows", Osmanthus smiled bitterly.
"You're the shadows?" Huang Jun gasped, he had imagined countless possibilities, but he had never thought of this possibility, he used to think that the people in these villages had created those shadows, what ulterior motives were there, or that the people in these villages were controlled by those shadows, but, but he never imagined that these shadows were the people in these villages.
"You don't have to be afraid, now I won't hurt you, in fact, we never thought of hurting you" Osmanthus said.
"You guys? Who do you include in your mouth? Huang Jun looked at Wen Hai and Shu Yao, the two of them hadn't woken up from this fact at the moment, Huang Jun could understand their feelings, after all, the news was too shocking, so he had to continue to ask.
"We? We are us, including all the people in this village, and also those little Jia" osmanthus road.
"You mean, Xiao Jia, who brought us in, is actually a shadow?" Huang Jun said in disbelief.
"Of course, otherwise, how could you get in? After we found out that someone had infiltrated the small village, we tightened the blockade, and if you didn't have the ability of the shadow, you should be trapped outside at the moment, or" Osmanthus said this.
"Or what?" Shu Yao reacted at this moment and asked.
"Or you will also become shadows, these two possibilities are half each, after all, when we set up that seal, we wanted to do this," Osmanthus said.
"So, you guys, what the hell are you?" Huang Jun also regained some calm at this moment, and asked quietly.
"We? Of course we are people," Osmanthus said.
"No, you can't be human, people can't be like you, it's not scientific," Wen Haidao said.
"Not like that? So, what do you think is the difference between me and you now? And we have always lived in this small mountain village, but we are indeed a little different from you," Osmanthus said.
"What's the difference?" Huang Jun asked.
"Actually, it's not any different, probably in, well, a few years ago, I can't remember how many years, anyway, the time period in here is different from the outside, I can't say. Anyway, we were still people, I mean, people like you, and yet, one morning, something terrible happened" Osmanthus seemed to fall into memory.
"What the hell is going on?" Huang Jun asked.
"That morning, Xiao Jia went outside to play, and we all made a fire to cook as usual, and then, and then it appeared," Osmanthus said.
"It? Who is it? Huang Jun asked.
"It was the first shadow, we don't know where it came from, we don't know what it wants to do, until now, we don't know what it wants to do, but that day we saw it jump on us, and it coincided with our shadow, and there were many people, and it became a shadow, a shadow exactly like it, and finally, there were more and more shadows, and after a while, the whole village was a shadow in the end, and no one could escape, as long as the people they caught up with, they would all become shadows, and in just twenty minutes, All the people in the village became shadows, all the lights went out, and as a result, all the people disappeared."
"This, this is incredible," Wen Hai said in disbelief.
"Of course, I also think it's incredible, do you know what it's like to be a shadow? Our bodies are all gone, but we are still conscious, like ghosts in all corners, but we can't touch anything, because we are just a ball of consciousness, when there is sunlight, it is just a shadow, without sunlight, we are nothing."
"So, what are you like now?" Huang Jun said suspiciously, if what Osmanthus said is true, then Osmanthus does not look like a shadow now.
"Of course, something changed later, and it wasn't until half a year later that we found out that at night, we could temporarily restore our bodies, but once the day came and the sun rose, we would turn back into a shadow, no exceptions." Osmanthus Road.
"Have you ever wondered why this is happening?" Huang Jun frowned, it's not that he didn't believe Osmanthus's words, in fact, until now, Osmanthus didn't need to lie to him, but he didn't expect things to be so difficult.
"I haven't thought about it, but there is a certainty that we are human beings and have not become anything else, because we also have to eat, and we will be hungry, and we will also breathe, and we will also bleed" Osmanthus said.
"But if you have to survive on food, how do you survive when you don't have outside supplies?" Huang Jun said strangely, he had wanted to ask this question for a long time.
"At the beginning, we ate the food left over from the village, and then a search and rescue team came here, and we wanted to show up, but we were afraid of being treated as monsters, and we didn't know what fate we would face, so we didn't show up in the end. Later, we found out that during the day, if we run outside the village, we will become a shadow, but in fact, during the day we can also return to human form, as long as we go to a place, that place, it is very big, and there is a lot of food, we can farm, so we have been living there, I think, if we want to, we can always live there, but this is our hometown, we don't want to leave, so every night, we still gather in the village, Live as before. "Osmanthus Road.
