After Lao Zhang said this, he was thoughtful and didn't speak for a long time. I asked him what was wrong.

Lao Zhang said: "I have never understood that immortality is a rare state of life, why does the old man not cherish it, but still asks for death?" ”

His words really reminded me. I didn't think about such a question. "What do you think?" I asked.

Lao Zhang said: "I understand a little bit now. Judging from the old man's behavior of begging for death, his immortality seems to be a very sick state. ”

I was shocked: "It's like a disease?" ”

Lao Zhang nodded: "After all, he is the result of a live experiment by the Japanese." We still don't know what the purpose of this living experiment is that it is immortal? Or is there some other purpose, and immortality is just a side effect? ”

I was a little impressed by his logic, it seems that this man is not a reckless man, and his mind is very flexible.

Lao Zhang said: "Now we can make an inference that an immortal like the old man can only live and not die, at least he can't die without violently self-destructing and exploding." ”

I nodded.

Lao Zhang continued: "If it is just that he can't die, I don't think this can be the reason why he is bent on dying. There's definitely something else here that we don't know about. ”

I suddenly thought of one thing: "Brother Zhang, do you remember the note that their family dug up in his room after the old man died?" ”

Lao Zhang blinked and said, "That note reads: If I die, I can really go back." ”

What do you mean by this? Literally, he was going to a place that he was very eager for. But I can't go, I can only go when I die. I said.

Lao Zhang looked at me, his face was a little unsightly: "The place where you can only go when you die can only be ......"

"Hades!" I spoke it out at the same time as him.

Far from being relieved, this conclusion makes us more confused and even more frightening. The old man, as an immortal, had a strong desire to die. The real purpose of his death was to go to Hades......

I smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhang, the underworld that this old man will go to after he dies doesn't seem to be the same place as the underworld where you have experienced killing Lao Jia." ”

Lao Zhang went to the underworld and hell in the black box electric stimulation. What he saw there was a thousand pieces of broken corpses when the evil retribution of the yang world came. If this is the real underworld, it is definitely not beautiful. In that case, it doesn't make sense for the old man to want to go like this. Therefore, the only reasonable explanation is that the underworld that the old man is going to and the retribution underworld that Lao Zhang encountered are not the same place, or even a dimensional world.

This conclusion is simply terrible. It reminds me of the famous Murder on the Orient Express. We searched for the murderer, and after a lot of hard work, we finally locked down the suspect, and only later did we find out that this person was just one of the murderers, and the real murderers were actually more, and they were all the people in the car.

Lao Zhang saw that I didn't speak, and he didn't know what I was thinking, so he continued: "You carefully interpret the last words: if I die, I can really go back." Did you read a little bit of the other flavor? Suppose that the place to which he is going back is indeed Hades. So what does the word 'really go back' and 'really' mean? ”

My mind was already messed up, so I casually responded, "What does it mean?" ”

"It means that he has been to the false underworld!" Lao Zhang said.

I looked at him in amazement, he was really speechless.

Lao Zhang said: "'If I die, I can really go back.'" It means that when he was still alive, he must have been to a false underworld, and he knew that it was a false underworld. In order for him to be able to go to the true underworld, there is only one way, and that is to really die. If you're dead, you can go. ”

His eyes sparkled, and I suddenly realized why he was reasoning like that.

The stimulation of the black box electric current made Lao Zhang go to a very terrifying and cruel underworld, and this experience was like a fish in Lao Zhang's throat. When he thought that his future fate would be to break into thousands of pieces, it was really stressful, and it became a thorn in his heart. It's as if there is a great immortal with great powers telling you that your future fate is to be shot, or your future fate is to be so poor that you will freeze to death in a ruined temple. Then even if you are eating delicacies from the mountains and seas now, and sleeping with beautiful babies and girls, your heart is not steady, and you are restless.

Lao Zhang experienced cruel and bloody retribution in the underworld, and he saw that his fate was the same as Lao Jia's. So he now urgently needs to find a way to free himself from self-soothing and even self-suggestion. Now as soon as the inference of the "false underworld" came out, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been redeemed. Although I was skeptical of this inference, I still didn't dig deeper, so let him be happy.

We didn't dwell too much on this issue. I asked him if it was Kim Dae-so's instructions to come here. Lao Zhang confessed, saying that Kim Dae-so had found information about Shimizu Liang and Da Honglian. Because Kim Dae-so has been silently paying attention to Yang Muyun's every move, he knows Yang Muyun's behavior well. He sent Lao Zhang Lao Jia to try his best to blend into this team.

We spoke, coming out of the woods and slowly returning to the camp.

At this time, I saw a group of people standing in front of the camp, discussing something very fiercely. Lao Zhang and I glanced at each other and leaned over to see what was going on. After listening to it for a while, I realized that the monkey was gone.

The monkey couldn't stand still, and told everyone that he was going to find Boss Yao, and let the rest of the people take care of it themselves, and wanted to leave and stay. There is a discussion about what to do next.

Now it is clear that there are two factions, and the number is about the same. One faction is to find the whereabouts of the boss and the rest of the team; One faction stayed in the camp, and if there was still no news for a few days, they would evacuate the place.

Lao Zhang rolled his eyes and pulled me to a remote place. He told me that he was going to take advantage of the chaos to get back to the base. I was taken aback: "Brother Zhang, it's inexplicably dangerous, what else are you going to do?" ”

Lao Zhang said: "Don't ask more about this, you will cover for me after I leave." If you look for such an opportunity in the future, I'm afraid it won't be there. ”

I couldn't limit his movements, so I had to take it verbally.

Lao Zhang was not on the same path as the people in the team, and no one paid attention to his behavior. He quietly sorted out his equipment and left, entering the underground base again.

After he was gone, there were even fewer people I could talk to. Everyone discussed and discussed, and there was no conclusion, and everyone was scattered.

I rested for the night, and the next day when I was still in a daze, someone reached into the tent and woke me up. The man said something to me, and I casually said nothing, turned around and fell asleep again. After sleeping for more than half an hour, I woke up suddenly and sat on the ground in a daze for a long time. After thinking about it, I realized that the man asked me just now if I would go to rescue the team members.

I climbed out of the tent and looked around and saw that the camp was empty and there was no one.

I was stunned, and looked from tent to tent, and sure enough, there was not even a human figure. And I saw that the equipment of these people was not there, and it was clear that they were taken away. I stood in front of the camp with my waist crossed, looking at the clear blue sky, and suddenly realized a terrible situation.

Everybody's gone! I'm the only one left in the whole camp now!

They must have discussed to save Yao Bing and the others. I was completely dispensable to them, probably out of politeness, and they asked me casually. I said no, and people didn't care, so I just left.

Now it's a problem. I thought about it, the best thing to do now is to pack up my things, drive out of here, and go outside for a normal life.

But just like that, I was extremely unwilling. Now that things have developed to this place, it is impossible for you to let me leave it alone and pretend that I don't know anything.

In the deserted camp, I sat on a high place, smoking a cigarette and staring blankly at the cliffs in the distance.

After smoking a cigarette, I snuffed out the cigarette butt and finally made a decision. I strode back to the tent, took stock of my equipment, packed my bags, and walked towards the cliff in the cold mountain wind.

When I got to the bottom of the cliff, I looked up and saw that there was already a rope hanging from the cliff. The rope was fastened in knots between the rocks of the cliff, and I pulled it with my hand, and it was very strong. This must have been set up by the players in front of them to facilitate their return later.

I tugged at the rope and stepped on the raised rocks, slowly climbing up. After climbing for a while, my arm was sore, and I grabbed the stone and stuck to the cliff wall to look down. It's only been four or five meters since I climbed, but it seems that I'm already a little dizzy.

I took a deep breath and continued to climb, and the higher I climbed, the stronger the wind blew and swayed. I had to crawl and stop, my whole body was sore, and my back was soaked with cold sweat.

It was at this time that I saw a Hessian hole not far above my head. It is from this hole that the climbing rope comes out.

I continued to climb high, and at last I came to the entrance of the cave, where a strong wind blew, and I couldn't see my fingers in the dark, and I didn't know where it went. I didn't climb in, stuck to the cliff, and struggled to pull the flashlight out of my waist and push it to its maximum brightness.

In the light, you can see that the hole seems to be in the shape of a trumpet, and the entrance of the hole is smaller, and the further you go in, the more space it seems, and there are many upside-down stones in it, and it is dripping with water, and the environment seems to be quite humid.

I saw that the end of the rope was snapping into the stone on the ground of the cave, and they must have entered from here.
