Xiao Yang was stunned: "...... Didn't you say that this is an infinite oasis? ”

"Infinity Oasis is just one way I describe this place. Places like this, officially known as the Underworld, are the true paradises that exist in every scene. Ma Boran closed his eyes, "There are no enemies here. There is no terror, no pain, no killing and no blood, this is a world where everyone who stays here can be happy......"

"I'm sorry, that may be your happiness, but at least I'm sure it's not my happiness. Stay here until the mission of the living is complete, and she and I will die. We have to get out of here. Xiao Yang stood up, "If you don't want to help, then goodbye." We'll find our own way out. ”

Ma Boran stared at the teapot and spat out a word: "Ten thousand times." ”

"What 10,000 times?"

"The speed at which time passes. Time in the underworld is 10,000 times slower than in the scene. 10,000 hours here, and only an hour in the outside scene. Ma Boran said, "You guys are from the Singularity Region, right?" The Singularity Zone is actually a gateway to the Underworld. You're lucky to be here. Play here for a few years before you go out. Anyway, your body won't get old, isn't it great to live happily for a few years in this peaceful world? ”

It's a tempting proposition. You don't have to face the threat of death at any time, you don't have to think about so many troublesome things, and live a carefree life in this peaceful place...... Seriously, that's not bad either. Xiao Yang's heart was shaken for a while.

"Xiao!" Jill's voice suddenly pulled Xiao Yang back from his imagination. I don't know when she has walked to Xiao Yang's side. Apparently she also heard Ma Boran's words.

"If what he said was true, would you stay here......" Jill's voice trembled a little.

Xiao Yang stared at her: "What about you?" What choice will you make? ”

"My choice was made from the start. I want to go to the real world and experience real life. Jill said, "Remember?" You were the one who gave me this dream. If you want to be a deserter, I won't forgive you, Captain. Rena and Luo outside, Jiang who is still struggling as a living person, and Liang, none of them will forgive you! ”

"That's right. Thank you, Jill. Xiao Yang looked at Ma Boran, "I'm sorry, I won't stay here." ”

Ma Boran hurriedly said: "Why are you in such a hurry? If you stay here for a while, you won't be able to spend a few minutes outside. ”

"We can't afford to delay a second. If you don't want to tell us how to leave, we'll take our leave. Xiao Yang said. In fact, he still had a little concern and didn't say it - who knows if this 10,000 times is true or false? Anyway, now it's Ma Boran who is talking, no matter what he says, Xiao Yang and they don't have a way to verify it. The right thing to do right now is to get out of here, and there is no need to consider other options.

"Haha, how to leave?" Ma Boran laughed, "Didn't I just say that you can't leave here?" ”

"Really?" Xiao Yang also smiled, "I remember that you just advised us to play for a few years before going out." In this way, there must still be a way to get out, right? ”

"This ......" Ma Boran was speechless.

"Since you don't want to help us, then bye-bye, Uncle Ma." Xiao Yang turned around, "Jill, let's go." ”

When they walked less than ten steps, Ma Boran's voice came: "Count you as a winner!" I'll show you the way out of here. ”

"What about the conditions?" Xiao Yang turned his head and asked.

"I don't want anything more, old man. At least play a game of chess with the old man. Ma Boran opened the warehouse space and took out a game of chess from it.

Xiao Yang nodded: "Okay." ”

"Ahh Not counted, not counted! This plate doesn't count! Again! Ma Boran grabbed his hair and shouted very gracelessly, "Boy, you are too treacherous!" I actually used this horse to ......"

"You're talking about a game of chess. The man's word is out, and the horse is difficult to chase. Xiao Yang said indifferently, "Old man, do you want me to call you Granny Ma?" ”

“…… The mouth is really sharp. Well, as I said, I'll take you away. Ma Boran took back the chessboard with some regret and took out a square-shaped black stone slab from the warehouse space. The surface of the slab is carved with many scales, and on the slab is a smooth spoon that seems to be glued to the slate.

Xiao Yang remembered that he had seen this thing in textbooks before, thought for a while and asked, "Sinan?" ”

The so-called Sinan is the earliest compass in ancient China.

"Well, this is called Hei Sinan, which is the space-time compass. No matter how distorted the space-time is, this thing will definitely point to the location of the peculiar point in the space-time. In the space of the Underworld, Hei Sinan will point to the location of the switch that opens the door to the Underworld. Ma Boran said and picked up Hei Sinan, and then the spoon became shiny, and then began to spin wildly. Half a minute later, the handle of the spoon came straight to rest in the other direction. Ma Boran deliberately turned the slate a few times, but the handle of the spoon still pointed to the original place without moving.

"That's the direction." Ma Boran walked in the direction the spoon handle pointed. Xiao Yang was also about to follow, but Jill called out to him: "Did you really decide to go with him?" If it's a trap......"

"Let's be honest. We don't know anything about the underworld. It's really up to you to find your way out, and I don't know how long it will take. Xiao Yang said in a low voice, "Of course we shouldn't be gullible, but we can only trust him now." ”

Through Hei Sinan's guidance, the three of them finally arrived at a strange giant tree in the woodland. The tree was no taller than the trees around it, but it was so thick that even ten men could not hold it. Seeing that Hei Sinan's spoon handle pointed straight at the giant tree, Ma Boran walked to the edge of the tree and touched the tree with his hand. I saw that his hand was inserted into the tree without any resistance, as if it were inserted into the water.

"This is it." Ma Boran stepped into the tree with one foot, "Come in." ”

After Ma Boran disappeared into the tree, Xiao Yang and Jill also followed him into the tree. Inside the tree was a vast space, with stars shining in the black night sky, and even more striking was a large ball placed in the middle of the road directly in front of them. The ball was more than twenty meters in diameter and shone brightly. Next to the orb, a man was lying on the ground, curled up and asleep.

"Rena?" Xiao Yang shouted her name and rushed forward. The man lying on the ground continued to sleep as if he had not heard.

Xiao Yang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought that this Rena might be the image from before, but he still ran to Rena. He stretched out his hand to Rena, and sure enough, he actually touched Rena's body, and then he was relieved. Just as Xiao Yang was about to shake Rena awake -

Without warning, a sickle blade burst out of Rena's arm, scraping towards Xiao Yang's direction!

Rena suddenly attacked, Xiao Yang was taken aback, and immediately rolled to the ground, finally dodging the blow. But the ground was not so lucky, and a deep mark was cut.

Xiao Yang stood up and said angrily: "What are you doing!" It's me! ”

Rena didn't attack again. The scythe blade on her arm disappeared on its own, and the man rolled over and lay on her side to the other side. Xiao Yang had nothing to say, it turned out that Rena was just sleeping too badly.

"Yo yo. This little girl is dangerous. If you want to be nice to her now, the old man advises you to stop thinking about it. You can't marry a wife like this. Maybe you woke up in the middle of the night to find that your head had been cut off. Ma Boran walked over with a smile.

"No kidding, this guy is just my companion." Xiao Yang said and pinched Rena's nose with his hand. Rena's face became redder and redder, and then she woke up all of a sudden and shook off Xiao Yang's hand.

"Whew-" Rena breathed rapidly while touching Xiao Yang's face in surprise, "Xiao Yang? You...... You're not dead yet? ”

Xiao Yang was speechless: "...... What are these words? ”

“…… By the way, you probably don't know yet, right? This is an underworld, where time flows at a thousandth of the speed of the outside world. I've been here for almost half a year, and it's been seven hours since I counted the time outside. I've searched back and forth several times a day, but I still haven't found any trace of you. In seven hours, the space in that cave had been distorted dozens of times. I'm desperate, but you're really going to be able to come back to me alive. Rena hugged Xiao Yang all of a sudden, "I want to praise God now!" ”

Xiao Yang patted her on the back: "...... I didn't stay in the cave that long. A little more than half an hour later, I found the singularity area. ”

Rena was surprised: "What! If you were only half an hour behind me, you should have been here a few months ago. But how could I not even find your footprints? ”

"Little girl, you've got one thing wrong." Ma Boran's voice sounded, "The speed of time in this underworld is not one thousandth, but one ten-thousandth. So Xiao Yang, he did just come. ”

"One in 10,000 ......" Rena only realized the existence of Ma Boran at this time. She stood up violently and pulled Xiao Yang behind her: "Who are you?" ”

Xiao Yang said: "His name is Ma Boran......"

"I'm also a soul messenger, and I'm currently in a relationship with this kid." Ma Boran picked up Xiao Yang's words and directly reported his identity.

Rena didn't speak for a second. Then, she smiled and said, "Oh, hello. My name is Rena, please take care of me. ”

"Hey, you're pretty polite." Ma Boran glanced at Xiao Yang, "It's much better than those guys who killed me as soon as they guessed that the old man was a soul envoy." ”

Xiao Yang also looked at Rena in surprise at this time. What's wrong with this guy? She would treat the other soul envoys with courtesy? It's like the sun is coming out of the west.

"Uncle, this thing is like a bottomless pit inside, no matter how you fill it, you can't fill it, do you know what's going on?" Rena asked Ma Boran as she pointed to the big round ball beside her.

Ma Boran said: "The alien energy required by this thing is inversely proportional to the speed of time. In the underworld, where the speed of time flow is 1/10,000, it requires a lot of extraordinary energy. ”

"I see. So uncle, can you help us fill it up? Rena smiled and said, "I think you are very powerful, uncle, this is easy for you, right?" ”

Xiao Yang understood when he saw this. For Rena, Marbran's power is worth harnessing, which is why she adopts a friendly attitude.

"Hehe, that's easy to say. That's what I'm here for. Ma Boran walked to the edge of the ball, closed his eyes, and put his palms on the ball.

At this time, Jill who had just walked over asked, "What is he doing?" ”

"He's pumping alien energy into it." Rena explained, "This ball is called Pluto. As long as you fill it with strange energy, it will ascend to the heavens on its own and open the gates of the underworld for us. So we can go back to the desert scene. It needs to be continuously injected with abnormal energy, and all my own abnormal energy injected into it can't light it up, so I need this uncle's help. ”

At this time, Xiao Yang looked at Rena and said with a little displeasure: "I said, you know about the underworld, right?" You didn't tell me when I was in the mines. As a result, we didn't know how to get out when we came here, and we had to turn to others for help. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. At the time, I thought it would be too cumbersome to explain, and there was no danger in the Underworld, so it wouldn't be too late to explain it when we got to the Underworld. Unexpectedly, there was an accident later, and the location of the singularity field I opened happened to be next to me, so I didn't have time to pull you over. Rena's voice lowered, "It's great that you're okay, or else...... I don't even know what to do. ”

Xiao Yang looked at Rena. A tired and haggard look that she had never seen before clearly appeared on her face. In the half year of this underworld, Rena has been looking for her figure every day. She is so tired that she can't even sleep, and that's the most important reason.

"Good work." Three words blurted out.

Rena didn't say anything, just smiled, and then set her eyes on Pluto on the side. Xiao Yang also looked at Pluto. The current Pluto is several times brighter than just now, and this is all because Ma Boran is constantly injecting alien energy into it. This old man is obviously a lot stronger than Rena.

Xiao Yang looked at Ma Boran's straight back, and his heart was full of questions. With this old man's strength, it should be easier for him to continue to be a soul seducer. Is it true that Ma Boran just wants to spend the rest of his time in this underworld safely, as he himself said?

Alas, forget it, it's just a waste of time to think about this question. In short, Ma Boran seems to really want to help, and he can't see any conspiracy he has. If he really has any conspiracy, let's see you when the time comes. Beware of him? It's useless. Ma Boran is overwhelmingly powerful, and it makes no difference whether he is wary or not.

Pluto is getting brighter and brighter. The smile on Rena's face grew stiffer. The total amount of alien energy possessed by Ma Boran was far greater than she had imagined. From this alone, it can be judged that Ma Boran is difficult to deal with.

"Xiao Yang, how did you meet this uncle?" Rena asked Xiao Yang as if chatting. Xiao Yang told all the things at that time.

The shock in Rena's heart is beyond words. 170,000 rebirth potential? What a concept is that? The higher the upper limit of the rebirth potential, the more ridiculous the life requirement index required to continue to increase the upper limit. To increase the rebirth potential to 170,000, it would take at least more than 200,000 life indexes...... All told, this bad old man's obstruction operation should have been successful dozens of times. This not only means that his combat effectiveness is extremely amazing, but also that his resourcefulness and adaptability are extraordinary. Rena knew that she couldn't compete with Ma Boran now, and even if she had to use stratagery to get rid of him, it would be difficult. And even if Ma Boran used up all of his energy in Pluto as Rena expected, Rena would not be able to kill him by sneak attack.

However, judging from Xiao Yang's words, it is not unlikely that Ma Boran really wants to stay here. Soul Emissaries who have experienced too much slaughter voluntarily stay in the underworld are not uncommon for Rena to hear of before. After all, the Underworld is like heaven for the Soul Hooker. And Ma Boran volunteered to help, which really didn't have any loss for him; Moreover, Rena also heard that most of the soul envoys who have been in the underworld for a long time will become very gentle, and it is not a problem to ask them to help or anything.

However, if you really think about it this way, there is a contradiction in what you find in the desert scene. That's when the baron betrayed the crowd and lured them into the ghost mines. The Baron had previously worshipped everyone as messengers of the gods, but it didn't take long for his attitude to change so dramatically. Apparently, the baron learned more information from certain people. Who was the one who instigated the baron? The living? No, they have long since left, and there is no time to commit the crime.

Since it wasn't done by the living, it must have been done by the soul seducer. Of the seven soul envoys in the scene, two died and five died, and he and Xiao Yang ruled it out first, but Yuan Hu was never there, and he didn't have the time to commit the crime, so he also ruled it out; Then the only suspect is naturally the seventh soul envoy. When Rena was in the mines, she deduced that the seventh Soul Messenger was behind her back.

Now the seventh soul envoy Ma Boran, who is the most suspicious, has appeared. But if you think about it seriously, the possibility that Ma Boran is the mastermind behind the scenes is too low. Ma Boran was unexpectedly powerful, so there was no need for him to go around in such a big circle. With such a strong combat power, it was naturally easy for Ma Boran to kill Xiao Yang and the others; Even if his purpose was to take advantage of the power of the people, he only needed to use force and coercion to do so. For the powerful Ma Boran, playing intrigue is simply superfluous. In contrast, Ma Boran's statement that he wants to stay here for the rest of his life is more credible.

If the above reasoning is true, and Ma Boran is really not the mastermind behind the scenes, then who created the illusion? Who's in the dark? What exactly does he want to do?

There were too many questions and doubts, and Rena's mind was thrown into confusion for a while. But she quickly regained her composure. No need to panic, no need to be impatient. The change in the situation did not fundamentally affect her plans. The plan can continue with only minor changes. Eventually, all the problems will be solved as expected.

"Uncle, it's too hard for you to be alone. I'm here to help inject alien energy into it, too. Rena said that she was about to walk towards Pluto, but Xiao Yang grabbed her and said, "I see that you are also tired, so don't force yourself." ”

"Honey, you care about me. Don't worry, I'll do what I can, and I won't be able to get along with myself. Rena said and shook off Xiao Yang's hand.

"Hey, you two are so sweet." Ma Boran joked, "That young man, you just said that she was just a companion." ”

"Yes, my dear, you remember for me, and you will be ready to accept the punishment of my love later." Rena flicked a glance at Xiao Yang, and then stepped towards Pluto.

Xiao Yang clenched his fists and didn't speak again. In this conversation just now, he has already said everything that needs to be said. auspicious
