Chapter 793: Buried Alive
"Oh?" Qi Xia replied painlessly.
This reaction obviously made the old man in front of him very dissatisfied.
"What do you mean by that attitude, young man?!" The old man said, "Do you think I'm crazy?!" ”
"I just wanted to ask you......," said Qi Xia, "that one cannot see or hear, and that one cannot even smell or eat...... This kind of thing counts as a "person"? ”
"Why doesn't it count?!" After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly blinked, "No wonder...... That's what "archaeologists" on TV have been working on all along! Study how people survived in ancient times! Right! I'm now an archaeologist at the End Land...... I'm going to stick to my research results! ”
Qi Xia didn't reply, just stared coldly at the old man in front of him.
He actually called the bones of ten years ago "antiquity".
The old man shook his head and said, "It's a pity...... Originally, I could "reverberate" by digging the ground, but this time, as if I had fallen into an evil spirit, the deeper I dug, the less "reverberate" there became...... It's weird, maybe you still have to keep digging ......"
"Stop digging." Qi Xia said coldly, "If you dig any further, you will have an accident." ”
"...... something happened?" The old man paused slightly, then showed a slightly nervous smile, "Young man, do you know something?!" ”
"I don't know." Qi Xia shook his head.
"Tell me!" The old man said excitedly, "I'm really too curious! This question has always bothered me, are the "participants" who participated in the event here ten years ago all faceless people?! What a great discovery! Like you said...... Can't even walk? Do they have their own way of accessing information from the outside world? How do they communicate? ”
Qi Xia just kept looking at the old man coldly, and then slowly took a step back.
The old man stood next to the pothole, his eyes flashing all the time: "In the end, all people are like this...... Or are only a few people mutated? There are many more faceless skulls in this pit...... One thing is for sure they have a community! ”
"I said, don't dig it." Qi Xia whispered behind the old man, "If you give up studying this issue, you should end up in a good situation." ”
"How can I resist not researching?!" The old man said, "The origin of all progress in this world is curiosity!" Now that I know, I'm sure I'll find out...... It's just bones, are the people in charge of this place going to kill me because of these bones? ”
"They won't, but someone else might." Qi Xia said.
"It doesn't matter if I die......," said the old man, "even if I die, I'll study it." ”
Qi Xia stared at the old man's back and was silent, feeling that "curiosity" was like a plague growing on him, which could not be cured and could not be dispersed, and would eventually kill him.
The old man kept his head down and muttered something, maybe he wasn't really crazy when Qi Xia met him, but the joy of digging out this skull made him gradually lose his mind.
He thinks he's found the ultimate answer, but he doesn't know that the skull is a ticket to escape reincarnation.
The old man muttered for a long time, feeling that the young man behind him had not moved for a long time, and he turned around and was about to say something, but suddenly saw a hand pushed on his chest.
The strength of this hand was not too big or small, and it just happened to push him into the hole behind him.
The old man didn't expect that the young man behind him would suddenly stretch out his hand, and he didn't have time to grab the other party, and the whole person had already fallen straight down.
"Plop"!
With a muffled sound, the old man also wailed, but the pit was not deep after all, and the soil below was soft, so he hurriedly stood up and shouted at the top: "What do you mean?!" Lad! What are you doing?! ”
He waited for a while, and saw Qi Xia appear at the edge of the pit with a kerosene lamp, and the dim light shone on his gray eyes, reflecting him like a demon.
"I persuaded you." Qi Xia said, "But you rejected me. ”
"Persuade me ......?" The old man suddenly understood something, "You don't want me to continue investigating?!" Why?! ”
Qi Xia didn't answer, just looked at the old man coldly from above.
The old man was so cold by these eyes that he hurriedly lowered his head and pulled out a skull from the hole with both hands.
"Don't you believe me, boy?!" The old man held up the skull and showed it to Qi Xia, "Look! These bones are buried in the ground! Aren't you curious what the hell is going on? ”
"I'm not curious." "Because I know the answer." ”
"What......?!" The old man blinked.
"I can't let this answer be known to anyone else, so you'll have to die." Qi Xia said.
Hearing this, the old man slowly raised his head, obviously he was not afraid of death, but regretted that he could not know the truth, and the unwillingness on his face was far more than fear.
"What is the reason for this......?" "If you know the answer, you're fine...... I know the answer is going to die? ”
"That's right." Qi Xia said, "It's already this time, and no mess can come out, so I can only wronged you." ”
"You ......," the old man slowly lowered his head after hearing this, "It's useless...... Even if you kill me, even if I don't keep my memories, I'll be curious about what's underneath again, and I'll dig up all the secrets one day...... I'll find the answer here someday, how are you going to stop me then? ”
This is the last thing Qi Xia wants to hear.
He said with a gloomy expression: "I didn't expect there to be a person like you here." Everyone is thinking about how to beat the game, how to get away from the city, and how to finally escape from it. But you're curious about what's underneath. ”
"Isn't that right?!" The old man looked up and said, "Maybe if I keep digging through the ground, I'll find a way out of here that no one has ever discovered!" Lad...... Aren't you really thinking about coming with me?! ”
"Not considered." Qi Xia replied, "When you really dig through the ground, you will find that what awaits you is the endless abyss. ”
"What......?" The old man was stunned, "Then where are we in?" Why are these corpses buried underground? It's okay if you don't say it...... I'm sure I'll find out...... Someday!! ”
"Don't worry." Qi Xia said, "You don't have the next reincarnation. ”
"What?!"
Qi Xia slowly took a step back and disappeared into the darkness.
"Hey! Don't go! The old man exclaimed, "What are you talking about?!" I don't have the next reincarnation?! Do you think you're a "god"?! ”
There was a rustle outside the pothole, and no one spoke.
Before the old man could utter a second sentence, the skull was thrown in, followed by a large amount of earth falling from above.
