White Mist Chapter 020 Truth and Attempt
"Captain Teddy, I don't quite understand what you mean."
Facing the dwarf's gaze, Luo Lei showed a harmless smiling face, but his mind began to liven.
Teddy's sentence just now has too many meanings mixed in it! So much so that even he couldn't understand it all for a while, so he didn't rush to express his position.
Outside light shone in through the window above the iron prison, reflecting on Teddy's face, which had been a little innocent, but now revealed a hint of ferocity and gloom.
"Sub-person, I know you're a smart man, and you must have your purpose!"
Teddy narrowed his eyes and said in a mysterious tone, "Originally, you only need to do what I told you to offer Thorksen the delicious tobacco you have, and you will be safe and sound; When he has tasted tobacco and believed you, he will let you go and pick up whatever you want. If you want to run away at this time, it's a breeze. ”
"But ......"
Teddy's tone suddenly became vicious and said, "What you took out is something that is enough to change the fate of our Black Iron Clan!" ”
He turned to look at the nervous You Xiaobai, but said to Luo Lei: "You two people should both belong to human beings, and human beings are the most complex race!" So I'm pretty sure that you have deep intentions against our Black Iron Clan! ”
"I even guess that the explosion of the Snow Elf Giant Tree has something to do with you!"
Teddy smiled grimly and said in a deep voice.
……
Luo Lei found that he seemed to be ......
What a little bit of a dwarf that looks like a teddy bear!
This Black Iron Clan battle captain, whose IQ is absolutely online, was able to rely on these seemingly sudden phenomena to gradually deduce his true intentions.
If the other party was a human being, or another subhuman race, Luo Lei would not be so shocked.
But a dwarf who is known for not being able to lie and not being able to recognize lies can have such thinking, and it is definitely an outlier among the outliers!
And......
From the moment he started, Teddy called Thorxon by his first name, and there was not the slightest respect in his voice!
This made Luo Lei feel more and more that Captain Bearskin was not simple.
Could it be ......
Luo Lei seemed to understand something, adjusted his posture and expression, and sat down in front of Teddy with an equal mentality and said, "Dear Captain Teddy, it seems that everything can't be hidden from your eyes!" ”
But in the blink of an eye, Luo Lei smiled playfully, no longer looking at Teddy, but casting his eyes on the wine jug beside him.
Flicking the cap of the flask with his fingertips, he said softly, "But if I tell you the truth, how can I guarantee that you won't hurt me?" ”
Teddy stared at Luo Lei and said, "Do you think you still have a choice?" ”
Luo Lei said: "You mean, if I don't tell you the truth, you will tell the Soxen patriarch all this and let him kill me?" ”
Teddy snorted coldly, noncommittal.
"But have you ever thought that my molten heart is the real deal. Based on your words alone, even if the Thorxen Patriarch is suspicious of me, he will only force me to take him to the abyss of the earth immediately, so as to determine whether what I say is true or false. ”
In the face of Teddy's threat, Luo Lei still said lightly.
Teddy thought about it, and felt that what this person said didn't make sense.
Speechless for a moment.
……
At this time, Luo Lei was the first to speak.
I saw him raise his head and say respectfully on the surface: "Captain Teddy, the Heart of Molten Flame is real, it is also true that the abyss in the center of the earth is occupied by the Lord of Molten Flame, and the injury of my spine being smashed is even more real!" When I was stealing this Molten Heart, I was accidentally hit by a falling rock, and it was my sister who dragged me all the way to get this far...... And I did intend to bring this stone to find you Black Iron Clan. ”
Taking advantage of the huge difference in information asymmetry between the two sides, this geocentric abyss and molten flame lord, which does not exist in the real world at all, has been constructed by Luo Lei into the most valuable information, and Luo Lei also specially sped up the speed of his speech to make these words sound more credible as much as possible.
Regardless of whether Teddy believed him or not, Luo Lei continued: "You also know that our real world has been invaded by countless heretical worlds in your mouth, and our human race is in danger!" And that abyss in the center of the earth is near our village, threatening our lives at all times; It just so happened that I had heard about the Molten Heart and some secrets of the Black Iron Clan, so I thought that I would use the Molten Heart as bait to lure the Black Iron Clan to the abyss in the center of the earth, so that you two tigers could fight, and it could be regarded as eliminating hidden dangers for my human race in disguise! ”
"The above sentences are true, Teddy, believe it or not, weigh it yourself."
After speaking, Luo Lei picked up the beer jug and poured it without saying more.
It is easier to win the trust of others by appropriately exposing some attempts at self-interest, which is based on the basic common sense of psychology.
It's just that before today, Luo Lei didn't think that he would use it on a dwarf who didn't know what a lie was.
And Teddy listened attentively to Luo Lei's words, thinking about the truth and falsehood.
Luo Lei was drinking, and at the same time observing the other party's reaction, because ......
In these words, he deliberately buried a fatal logical error!
That's how he, Luo Lei, a sub-human in the real world, learned about these secrets in their dwarf clan?
But this deliberately arranged loophole is Luo Lei's deep temptation of Teddy.
He wanted to know if this guy in front of him, who was several times smarter than other dwarves, was still not a dwarf's setting!
If it is still the original setting, then with Teddy's intelligence, it must not be able to associate this key loophole.
But if he could decisively find the flaw in this statement......
Then there are only two possibilities!
Or, the teddy in front of him is not a dwarf at all, but a person who occupies the body of Teddy, in fact, the inner spiritual power is controlled by another creature! It may sound incredible, but as a person who used to be a Lei Li Technology company and has been deeply exposed to the world's most advanced metaverse technology, Luo Lei knows that this is not impossible.
Another possibility is that after entering the real world, the second person can still break the shackles of his own setting and upgrade and evolve!
Luo Lei was a little afraid to think about it......
He noticed that Teddy was looking at him with a deep gaze.
It's just that this kind of look appears on the dwarf's face, which looks a little funny.
After a while, the clever and unbelievable Captain Bearskin seemed to begin to spit out his heart.
Teddy said to Luo Lei, "You know what? If your plan succeeds, it's the end of our Black Iron Dwarves! ”
"But now, because of the appearance of the Molten Heart, no one can stop Soxen from realizing his ambitions! He is also about to lead us to the end times! ”
Teddy gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, and his voice was full of coldness: "The power of the Molten Heart, for the Black Iron Clan...... It's a curse at all! When we were enslaved by the Molten Flame Lord, that demon used this thing to control our minds and make us a sick dog wagging and begging for mercy! ”
He looked at his hands, then clenched his fists and said, "Perhaps, the power of molten fire brought by the Molten Heart will make our combat power stronger to a certain extent...... But it is at the cost of losing one's mind and destroying one's mind! He made us slaves and thugs like the walking dead, sacrificed our lives to fight for him, and finally forced us to kill our kind!
Without...... If it weren't for the Hill Clan's Mygoni Iron Whisker, who used magic to strip the molten power from my clan's body, the entire Black Iron Clan would have turned into the dust of history long ago! ”
While Teddy was talking, Luo Lei kept looking at him calmly.
But the information revealed in Teddy's words actually made Xiaobai on the side feel a little empathetic!
Listening to this dwarf, it seems that the Black Iron Clan is also facing the danger of the survival of the race.
In Xiaobai's heart, he suddenly felt a sense of sympathy!
At this moment, Teddy didn't know what Xiaobai was thinking, and continued to Luo Lei: "At the beginning, Soxen was unwilling to give up the power of molten fire, so he was exiled by Mygoni Ironbeard.
We are all descendants of Thorxon, even if we choose to stay in the territory of the Hill Clan, we will not be accepted, so we can only follow him to exile, but we have managed to escape from the control of the Molten Lord and save this life! ”
I only heard Teddy say in a deep voice: "Now, Thorkson is still stubborn, insisting on indulging in curses again and leading us to death, so ......"
"He can only die!"
At this moment, Captain Bearskin, named Teddy, seemed to be a completely different person, and said the biggest rebellious words in his life!
……
At this point, Teddy stopped abruptly.
I saw him walking towards Luo Lei with a gloomy face, and then sat cross-legged in front of him.
"Second person, do you still have tobacco?"
He raised his hand and stretched out two fingers to shake Luo Lei.
Luo Lei dug into his pocket and pulled out a small cardboard box that had been rubbed to the point of disappearance, and there were the last two in it.
He twisted one and tossed it to Teddy, then put the remaining one in his mouth, then took a homemade match from the other pocket, wiped it, and handed it to the dwarf.
Teddy reached over and lit the cigarette in his mouth through the fire, taking a deep breath.
"Actually, I'm afraid of Soxon, he's too strong for me, so strong that I can't have the courage to resist him!"
Luo Lei lit his cigarette and puffed out the smoke without speaking.
"But now, even if we don't resist him, my people and I are still dead! So...... I can only give it my best! ”
With that, Teddy jerked up the flask on the ground, opened his mouth and drank the water from the jug!
Wiping his beard casually, he stared at Luo Lei again;
Beneath the strong tone, there was an imperceptible pleading.
"Sub-person, you have to help me!"
"I know you must have hidden evil motives! Help me kill Soxon, and I'll set you free...... And from now on, the Black Iron Clan is your true ally! ”
A cigarette that burns with sparks, goes out in Teddy's fist!
