Old Xu Tou and Lin Ke both looked at me intently.

That's when I reacted and immediately said, "Okay, great." ”

"Then get ready, and see when it's time for us to go?" Old Xu asked urgently.

"It's all right, not today."

Old Xu Tou looked outside and said, "I'll talk about it tomorrow, you guys live first." ”

Dead.

I secretly called the river up.

Old Xu Tou lived in the room next to us.

As for Lin Ke, he didn't live in the research institute.

Standing in the corridor, you can still hear the snoring of Lao Xutou.

Jiang Shui and I tiptoed to the laboratory-like room on the first floor.

After closing the door, I immediately looked at Jiang Shui and said, "Undressed." ”

Jiang Shui stared at him in surprise and said, "What are you doing?" ”

Only then did I realize that I hadn't explained to Jiang Shui yet.

He immediately pointed to the instrument on the table and said, "Verify it." ”

Jiang Shui was still confused, but obediently took off his shirt.

I stood next to the instrument and stared at it for a long time.

After I made sure of it, I started to slowly unload the instrument.

Then he began to test the body of the river.

Jiang Shui stood in place at a loss, not daring to move.

I could feel how nervous he was.

I methodically began to perform a carpet examination of the upper body of the river.

Not even the armpits were spared.

Time passed slowly.

Holding the instrument, I was already covered in sweat before I knew it.

Jiang Shui also began to sweat non-stop, standing motionless like this, which made him a little unable to hold on.

But he still didn't dare to disturb me, and endured it all the time.

After nearly an hour, I finally put down the instrument in my hand.

Then he sat down on the ground exhausted.

"What's the situation? OK? Jiang Shui looked at me and asked.

I nodded, and Jiang Shui immediately sat down on the ground.

"Jiang Shui, I found a clue to your survival."

"What?" Jiang Shui, who was also tossing and had no strength at all, immediately stood up excitedly.

"Bugs, black bugs."

"Bugs?" Jiang Shui reacted suddenly, slapped his body in horror, and said in surprise, "I have bugs on my body." ”

"Don't get it, those bugs are your chance to stay alive."

As soon as I finished speaking, Jiang Shui immediately put down his hand and looked at me with a shocked expression.

The river itself is covered in obscure places, including the neck, behind the ears and under the armpits.

There are thirty-six black striped bugs in total.

That's the best proof of this.

My previous inference should have been correct.

The lifespan of the substitute is directly related to the black monsters that inhabit them.

But I don't know yet how long these bugs will survive.

I told Jiang Shui all about my findings.

He hesitated for a few minutes, then immediately looked at me and said, "You can take it off too." ”

"Me?" After some hesitation, I obediently took off my clothes.

Jiang Shui began to test my body with an instrument.

It was only half an hour later that Jiang Shui put down the instrument.

"How?" I asked, looking nervously at him.

He shook his head and said, "No, there is not a black striped bug of the kind you said, but your ass is quite bad and needs to be maintained." ”

I don't have it on me.

In other words, only the substitutes who came out of the strange stones of Doll Ridge had these bugs on their bodies.

After the strange stone is cracked, the soul inside the strange stone should go out to find a replacement target.

Then there will be another person.

But how did this person come to be?

Out of thin air? Unlikely.

And also! The black bug should be, after forming another replacement, and then begin to transfer to this replacement, as it should be.

Therefore, once all the black bugs on the human bones are transferred out, the human bones will be wiped out.

There is still one step left unraveled.

How the substitute came to be.

After all, it is also a flesh and blood body.

I spoke out my confusion.

Jiang Shui could only shake his head and mutter, "I really don't know, when I was conscious, it was like this, according to what you discovered, there are those people's ontologies in the ghost path, and we are indeed not sojourning on the ontology, and conjuring a big living person out of thin air, it seems to be a bit ridiculous, I think it may be necessary to go to Doll Ridge to reveal this secret, but are you really sure that these black bugs are the key to our lifespan?" ”

Looking at the river, I frowned and said, "Ninety percent sure, it should be like this." ”

"So? I want to live, and it's better to have as many black bugs on my body as possible? The only possibility is to find more strange stones, and then let the strange stones crack, and then find a chance to transfer the black worms on the human bones inside the strange stones to my body? ”

Looking at the river, I nodded.

Jiang Shui suddenly showed a strange expression, and muttered to himself, "If that's the case, then can't I live for a long time?" There must be a lot of strange rocks in Doll Ridge. ”
