"Who the hell are you? And what did it do to me! And..."

"Why do you know my name!" Irene shouted and asked the mysterious young man opposite.

Since they fell into this secret room, a series of events have developed in a completely direction that is beyond her comprehension, and if Irene could choose again, she would not accept this commission to lead the way for the rich reward offered by the gang.

"Don't be nervous, we're not enemies, at least put down our weapons first."

On the other hand, Liao Ji really wanted to talk to the female scavenger, he was eager to catch an indigenous person and grasp the information of the current "world", but Liao Ji didn't want to be pointed at him with a sword to chat.

He tried to defuse the tense atmosphere in a peaceful way, but alas, failed.

Instead of lowering her sword, Irene tightened her grip, and a deep fear of herself could be seen in the eyes of the female scavenger.

In desperation, Liao Ji could only take some uncivilized means in order to communicate more effectively in the future.

He didn't expect a scavenger to keep his promise from the beginning.

After all, can a person who keeps his promise still be called a scavenger?

Liao Ji's real confidence still comes from his own ability.

In the game, anyone who signs a "contract" with the protagonist of the doomer, the player can control everything, in layman's terms, on the master's ship, it is the master's person, how can there be any possibility of running.

Put it in the real version.

After Liao Ji tried to focus his thoughts on the female scavenger, several looming silk threads suddenly appeared in his field of vision, linking him to Irene.

When Liao Ji made a thought of "putting down the sword", immediately, in the exclamation of the female scavenger opposite, Irene only felt that her body suddenly did not obey the call, and strangely took the initiative to hang down the sword aimed at the young man.

This is not over, immediately after, Irene can only watch the black-haired young man walk towards her, and then the other party never knows when, for this secret room is like his own home, find out the thick and rough hard hemp rope, and tie her up in a circle.

During the whole process, Irene couldn't do anything except stare at her eyes that were about to cry, and she couldn't even make a sound, so she could only watch her body, like a marionette, being played with by the other party.

"I said Miss Irene..."

"It's easy for others to misunderstand this expression of yours, and those who don't know think I've really done something to you."

looked at the female scavenger with a face of shame and humiliation, coupled with tears in the corners of her eyes, who was tied up by herself and couldn't move.

Liao Ji clapped his hands in a successful manner, and then lifted the restrictions on Irene and returned control.

Suddenly.

The secret room was filled with the sound of birds and flowers.

"You're a ***——!! I'm just ** - know you - ***! Hurry *** - give me ** - let go! ”

"I'm a**-woo-woo-woo-woo!!"

In order to protect his ears, Liao Ji chose to mute the female scavengers first.

"Miss Irene, listen, first of all, I won't mention the fact that you took me as your own hostage in the first place."

"After you played with fire and self-immolated and summoned an uncontrollable kobold monster, it was you who took the initiative to ask me, expressing your willingness to pay any price to resolve the previous crisis, and I met your needs, then according to the agreement, no matter what happens to you, you have no reason to accuse me, and please Miss Irene, don't mention your pants and don't know anyone."

"Secondly, I know you have a lot of questions, and so do I, out of humanitarianism and respect for you, so we'll take turns asking questions, and I'll start first."

"Finally, everyone should keep their mouths shut when the other person asks questions, listen patiently and quietly, and answer them carefully afterwards, without too many irrelevant words."

Liao Ji focused on the words "shut your mouth".

"So..."

"Nodding is acceptance, shaking the head is not acceptance."

"By the way, if you shake your head, I'll just throw you here." Liao Ji stared at Irene's eyes, not joking.

Eventually, despite the annoyance in the female scavenger's eyes, she nodded her head.

"Very good, Miss Irene, you have taken the first step towards our future harmony." After Liao Ji nodded in satisfaction, he unlocked the confinement effect on the female scavenger.

And Irene...

Humanism!

Is there any other choice left to her?

Of course, the above words are shouted from the bottom of Irene's heart.

She had already learned a lesson, and she had also accepted the other party's proposal to "take turns asking questions", so in reality, Irene, this time, was honestly as Liao Ji said, and kept her mouth shut.

However, the mouth was useless, but it still did not prevent Irene from throwing a protesting look at Liao Ji, but unfortunately she was directly ignored by the young man.

After all, if you compare it to the perspective of the game, it's probably a new character who has just started, and the favorability is low, which is normal.

"Okay, according to the rules, I'll ask the question first, so... Miss Irene, could you please explain to me what you mean by "inheritance" that you have been talking about? ”

After Liao Ji finished speaking, he made a gesture of "You can speak now" to the female scavenger.

But...

"Huh? What's wrong, what's on my face? Liao Ji looked at the other party staring at him with a puzzled and weird expression, and couldn't help asking.

Seeing that the young man really didn't seem to be joking, Irene said in a tone of disbelief, "You don't even know the 'Ash Emperor'!? ”

"Hmm... Just in case, let me make sure to you, by "Ash Emperor" in your mouth, is that handsome, self-made, with his outstanding intelligence and leadership ability, successfully achieve the unification of the wasteland, and finally purify the "turbidity" pollution, end the wasteland, the greatest and greatest savior Emperor? ”

"Is there a second 'Ash Emperor' in this world?" Irene asked rhetorically, completely unaware of the smug look on the young man's face opposite.

"Since you all know the Ash Emperor, what does "inheritance" mean? It's all that the Ember Emperor left behind after his death! For example, this secret room, this sarcophagus, and the coffin..."

As she spoke, Irene suddenly stopped.

Because Liao Ji behaved too normally before, the normal here means that it is not like those indescribable weird existences, but more like the kind she hates, with a sven atmosphere, a small mouth that can talk non-stop, and is more reasonable than anyone else.

So she almost forgot that this black-haired young man came out of this "sarcophagus", or...

It is highly likely that youth is the "legacy" itself.

Liao Ji didn't notice Irene's pause, he frowned now, his attention was attracted by the previous sentence, and he quickly asked:

"The Ash Emperor... He's dead? When did this happen? And how did he die? As far as I know, with the strength of the Ash Emperor, there shouldn't be anything in this world that can threaten his life, right? ”

As far as I know?

Irene felt more and more that the young man was speaking strangely.

But considering the mysterious origin of the other party, Irene restrained her attitude a little and replied honestly:

"Actually, it's just a folk saying that the emperor died, and more officially, I remember that what was written in the history books should be the emperor... Gone? ”

"Disappear?"

"I don't know exactly what the specific history is, but it was probably five hundred years ago, after the decisive battle about the source of the "turbidity", the emperor who returned triumphantly disappeared in the night of that day, and even the five most powerful guards cultivated by the emperor could not perceive the emperor's whereabouts at all, and the ashes empire in history had mobilized the whole country to search for clues, but in the end there was nothing, and the fact that the emperor had disappeared could only be announced. ”

"However, because the whole incident is too strange and bizarre, many people don't believe the statement jointly issued by the five personal guards, thinking that the emperor did not disappear, and guessing that the emperor was seriously injured in the battle and died, and some people speculated that the emperor was infected with turbidity and chose to commit suicide in order not to run away, and some people said..."

"Wait!"

Liao Ji was not interested in listening to any more speculation about his "disappearance", after all, he had almost guessed the reason for his real "disappearance".

It is the node that enters the "second week".

Merely...

He didn't travel directly, but came to the wasteland world five hundred years later? No... The wasteland has been terminated by itself for a week, so this is...

The post-wasteland era five hundred years later?

A new era?

In fact, these are still secondary, and Liao Ji's most urgent and concerned thing is...

"Are they still alive!?"

“... They? Irene didn't understand.

"It's the five guards you just mentioned, the Emperor's side!"

This was the first time Ireen had seen a young man so anxious and out of shape.

But at the same time, it also made her more confused.

"Please, that's common sense, right? If they are gone, then where did they come from to carve up the five major forces of the continent now? ”

This time, there was no need for Liao Ji to take the initiative to ask, and Irene had already expected to explain: "After the death of the Ash Emperor... After disappearing, the five major guards under the emperor divided from the empire with their respective subordinates, and then established their own forces in different locations on the mainland, eventually forming the current two countries, two alliances and one city. ”

"The two countries refer to the Northern Holy Kingdom and the Eastern Dragon Kingdom, the two alliances are the Southern Machine Alliance, the Western Forest Alliance, and finally, the largest neutral city in the world, the Demon Capital, located in the middle of the continent."

Irene originally wanted to explain that these countries, alliances, and cities correspond to which of the emperor's personal guards, but looking at the young man's appearance, it seems that just by hearing the name of the force, she doesn't need to say more.

On the contrary...

"Impossible... Why did they separate? Liao Ji muttered to himself.

Judging from the history described by Irene, after he "disappeared", the six-star "disaster-level" wives that he had worked hard and worked hard to cultivate were actively divided into the ash empire they had built together, which... Doesn't make sense?

"So, don't interrupt people all the time!" At this time, Irene took the initiative to speak, with a look of complaint.

And continued to add, at the top she was interrupted by Liao Ji so she didn't finish.

"Didn't I say before that there was speculation among the people about the disappearance of the Great Emperor? One of them, which many people think is most likely today, including me, is..."

"In fact, the five guards under the Great Emperor are also the five most powerful doomers in this world, second only to the Great Emperor, and they join forces..."

"Murdered the Emperor!"

Irene said word for word.
