Chapter 121: Paris Gem Mine (20)
Even if you can't see it, you can feel the slenderness and perfection of this hand.
Jiang Qi didn't speak, nor did he move, in the gap closed by the black paint, in addition to her, there was a chance of a living person.
"Don't touch this corpse."
Xie Chaoci's clean voice interrupted her thoughts, and Jiang Qi looked up again, and in front of her was a dim, beating firelight illuminated by the cave.
And beneath her hand was a very strange corpse.
The skin was stretched out, and the ribcage of the chest was torn open by something, and there were stones growing inside, and some gems were sandwiched in between, and they were very good in size and color.
There was also a cloud of slime next to the corpse, so something came out of the corpse.
But apart from her here, there is only Xie Chaoci in front of her.
The touch from the hand she was holding by Xie Chaoci was definitely something that secreted mucus.
Jiang Qi's complexion changed slightly.
Don't tell her she crawled out of this shell.
No, no, Jiang Qi stood up, this place she hadn't been to before, it wasn't the space she had been in before.
The gravel she had just dug was gone, and a rusty lamp was poured on the ground.
What's even more bizarre is that this unobstructed space is composed of connected stone walls, and the gap in the middle is absolutely impossible for people to cross.
"How did I and it get here?" Jiang Qi pointed to the corpse on the ground.
Xie Chaoci looked at her, "I only saw that you were next to this corpse, dissecting its chest." β
"What?"
Jiang Qi was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Silence is the mine tonight.
What she dug up was obviously rubble, but it turned out to be a corpse, and the gem she saw grew in the abdomen of the corpse.
It's more weird and unbelievable than the outrageous, no matter how you look at it.
So, is the Xie Chaoci in front of him real?
If it was a hallucination, why was it him who saw it?
"I cut open the corpse and used the tip of this pickaxe?" Jiang Qi confirmed with him.
"Hmm." Xie Chaoci nodded calmly.
"Where's the stuff in there?" Jiang Qi tried to find any flaw.
"It's not ripe yet, you pierced it with this." Xie Chaoci looked at the pickaxe that was put aside by Jiang Qi, "It's not dead and wants to make a sound, so I'll solve it." β
Jiang Qi still didn't believe that all this was true, "What about the corpse?" β
"When I use my power, I don't leave a corpse." The corners of Xie Chaoci's mouth hooked.
It seems like so.
But this does not mean that the digging of the gravel wall is fake, and it is real now.
"This place is closed, how did you get in?" Jiang Qi asked suspiciously.
"Because this light is on, it wasn't closed when I came in, and the underground passage would change because of his presence." Xie Chaoci said, "Later, I heard a voice here, and when I came over, I saw that you were dissecting a corpse. β
In that scene, if you change someone, you have to be scared to death by Jiang Qi.
Imagine, trapped in a closed cave that is completely opaque and devoid of any living creatures, and suddenly finds that there is an extra person, and this person is dissecting a strange corpse there, the expression on his face is abnormal, and the action of dissecting the corpse is sharp and fierce.
There is no one who is not afraid when he sees it.
Jiang Qi looked at Xie Chaoci's face.
She didn't find any flaws, and his words were reasonable.
Even though this place was full of unreasonableness, she sensed that Xie Chaoci was right.
Jiang Qi looked at the gap under the stone wall that she could only come through unless she turned into a piece of paper, and the passage would change, so it was after she came that the gap became smaller, and when she was about to come out, she encountered this corpse and got it out together.
This is the most plausible explanation.
Yes, at that time, there was a large space in the gravel wall, and she still felt unspeakably uncomfortable and depressed, as if she was stuck in the cracks.
No wonder there are no miner's lights.
When there was a ghost, the road changed when her vision suddenly darkened, and she thought she was moving forward, but in fact she was going to the other side.
Why did you take the corpse out with you?
Jiang Qi carefully observed the corpse on the ground, wearing the clothes of a miner, with no obvious external injuries, it was the miner who had disappeared before.
She has found that there is a problem with her cognition, and if she can't solve the fundamental problem, she will want to make the right choice even in the hallucination.
At first, she was hesitant to dig the wall, and she walked back into the gap, but absolutely, she didn't want to go back.
The feeling of depression and chaos made her very uncomfortable, but it didn't make her collapse because she couldn't get rid of the influence and couldn't make a choice.
I've been looking at the system for a long time, just to stay calm
The thing that was conceived in the corpse had something to do with the behemoth she had seen outside, and it certainly didn't want people to break open the corpse and get the immature larvae out, so her later actions had nothing to do with that thing.
The gem in the corpse is the anchor point that Jiang Qi set for himself, whether it is gravel or corpse, the gem is always there.
And she came out, albeit from one crack to another.
Cognition will be wrong, memories and eyes will deceive, what is real will not disappear,
At most, there is a different form of existence in her eyes, but it is definitely reasonable and common in general, otherwise she will soon find a logical loophole.
Jiang Qi only reacted at this time.
The first time she struck a match, she didn't see the gravel wall, which focused her attention on the miner's lamp.
The gravel wall was found to be the second match.
In the middle of it, she realized that her cognition was going wrong under the dual influence.
Only then did the rubble wall appear.
"You know what it is that makes the passage change?"
Jiang Qi didn't know that Xie Chaoci was talking about 'him', not it.
The same pronunciation means very different.
"The system that caused the earthquake and collapse showed 'underground worms', disgusting horror creatures."
Speaking of this, Xie Chaoci's face was a little more playful, "And the other existence, the system does not show his title, what it means is that it is an existence that cannot be killed by humans, and if the player encounters it, it is recommended to leave quickly." β
"He is the 'Old God,' the Worms of the Underground are His dependents, and the contents of the corpse are His offspring, the offspring of human genes and sanity. It felt as if I knew who He was. β
Is there really a living god?!
Jiang Qi probably understood the reason why the two of them were noticed.
She is because of the silver key, Xie Chaoci, probably because of her identity.
This worm-like god with many tentacles is capable of influencing people's spirits.
He didn't come out and fight them directly, either because of some kind of constraint, or because it didn't achieve His purpose.
In this way, there is still a way to live.
There must be a precondition for the children of Godβhuman beings, as providers, need to agree or meet certain conditions before they can conceive.
Ordinary people lose their minds when they come into contact with Him, and being agreed is also consent. (End of chapter)
