Chapter 158: The Answer You Want?
"Are you hiding something from us?" My gaze froze.
The old man also stared.
But then the old man looked at me and said.
"Are you suspicious of me, young man?"
Suspecting that he was inevitable, the old man had never said a few words before and after.
If I don't doubt him, I'm in a bad nut.
Li Si walked over at this time, put his hand in his pocket, as if he was ready to fire.
It may be that we feel the hostility we carry.
The old man hurriedly explained.
"Don't worry, don't worry, haven't I finished speaking?"
"If you want to know the answer, come with me!"
If you want answers, you have to follow him.
A few of us looked at each other.
From the eyes of the three of them, I read a message.
That's what the old man couldn't believe.
After taking a deep breath, I looked at the old man warily.
"Where are you taking us?"
The old man smiled slightly, but there was an unpredictable depth on his face.
I looked at his smile and suddenly felt like a schoolboy who had never been in the world.
And he's the one who wants to kidnap me out and sell me.
Even if I racked my brains, I couldn't think of any way to counter him.
This is an absolute crushing of strategy.
It was the emergence of this feeling that made me more sure that he must have a ghost in his heart.
With a fixed gaze, I looked at the old man again vigilantly.
"If you don't tell us where we're going, we'll never go with you!"
The old man burst into a disdainful laugh.
"Hahaha, you're still a mage!"
"Are you scared?"
I'm not afraid of ghosts, but I'm afraid of people's hearts.
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, and prudence will allow me to live longer.
I've understood this since I was three years old.
I didn't hide it, and told the old man decisively.
"Don't be afraid to say otherwise, we don't trust you now, and the agitation method is useless to me."
"Either tell us where you're taking us, or you're going to be honest about what the hell is going on in this forest."
"Don't keep draining our patience!"
At this point I was worried that if the old man asked me a rhetorical question, what would I do with him if he continued to drain my patience.
Because I really didn't think about what to do with him.
I don't want to hurt him seriously.
I watched the old man's expression carefully, waiting for his answer.
After a moment's hesitation, the old man looked at me.
"It's good, you're different from the people who used to come here."
"I like people like you who don't pretend."
Like someone like me who doesn't pretend?
This old man really lifted me up.
But his uplift has nothing to do with what we need to know.
"Don't waste it, it's noon, you can tell us quickly!"
"We'll decide whether to go or stay later."
The old man's expression suddenly turned cold.
After a few moments, the old man told me with a very serious expression.
"We're going to the heart of the woods, and you'll understand what's going on!"
The heart of the woods?
We had crossed the woods before, but hadn't we been to the heart of the woods?
I always thought that the place where there were many cat corpses was in the heart of the forest.
Isn't it?
Just when I was stunned, the old man suddenly walked up to me.
"To go or not to go? You'll know everything you want to know! ”
Although he knew that the old man was still using the agitation method.
But at this moment, I did have the idea to go and see it.
Shaking my head, I tried my best to stifle the thought.
Look at the old man again.
"Is there something in that place that could kill us?"
Curiosity never takes precedence over safety, that's the rule I live by.
If the old man answered in the affirmative, then I would not take the fat man to the adventure.
But the old man didn't give me a positive answer.
The old man pondered for a moment, then looked at me again and asked.
"Are you so afraid of death?"
"If you want to know the answer to everything, you have to take a risk, do you really want to know?"
"And you shouldn't be just passing by here, right?"
"In addition to you, there are many other people who have been here!"
The old man's words surprised me a little.
Quite a few other people have been here besides us?
Who the hell is it?
What are they doing here?
Just as I was stunned, the old man continued.
"If it's not for the old eyes, you should have something in you, right?"
Something about me? How did this old man find out?
"What are you talking about? I looked at the old man warily. ”
The old man looked at me with a knowingly inquiring expression.
"Can't you see the karma on you?"
Karma?
All I know is that there is something in my body, and something that is going after me.
Could it be that this is called karma?
Horrified, I wanted to continue to ask.
Suddenly, the sky seemed to be obscured by something.
A cold wind hit, coupled with the cold sweat just now, I couldn't help but shiver.
"Are you going to continue to ask me questions here, or are you going to let me take you where you need to go?" The old man's expression became rare and serious.
In this way, we can only know the answer to everything if we go further.
In that case, there is no way back.
"Brothers, get your stuff ready!"
There was a loud bang, and a thunderclap exploded in front of me.
Black smoke rose from the ground.
The solid ground was scorched black.
I swallowed, a little more wary in my eyes.
The old man also raised his head at this time.
"It's about to change!"
"Aren't you a mage? Give me a talisman. ”
Symbol?
"What talisman do you want?"
Is it useful to ask me for a charm at this time?
The old man didn't explain much, just kept telling me.
"If you want to settle things, give me a talisman!"
I didn't say what I wanted, and I didn't know what the old man's purpose was for a while.
Too lazy to think about it so much, I took out a random talisman from my bag and handed it to the old man.
Taking my talisman, the old man turned and walked to the door, and then slammed his palm against the wooden door.
I don't know why, but with the talisman sticker, I always feel that the crumbling wooden door seems to be a lot stronger.
I don't know if it's a delusion or what's going on.
After pasting the talisman seal, the old man had words in his mouth.
After walking up to me, the old man handed me a white cloth.
"You can take this thing, you should be useful."
Should I be useful?
What can I do with this?
