Chapter 54 The Gambling Covenant
Huang Jie rubbed his neck and woke up,
He found himself lying in a deep underground space,
Judging from the sound of the wind licking the skin and the slight dripping sound of water without interruption, I am afraid that I am some distance from the ground.
After adjusting to the slight glimmer of light, he began to pay attention to himself.
The first thing he saw was that all sorts of little, lightless insects living underground were crawling up his legs, and judging from the fact that they had not yet climbed up his chest, he should have been brought to this place for no more than an hour.
The surrounding dirt was mixed with broken stones, and the fresh stone fractures meant that the space should have been recently excavated.
More information can only be given up because of the dark space and cannot see farther.
Seeing that he couldn't get more for the time being, Huang Jie began to recall,
He only remembered that he was at the end of the line, and when he was about to go back with the closing team, his eyes were dark, and when he woke up, he was here.
One moment he was a little relaxed and ready to go to the city for a good rest day after changing his post, and the next moment he was nestled in this small space with the smell of mud and damp stickiness, such a huge contrast made it difficult for him to adapt to it for a while.
"Are you awake?"
A male voice with a little magnetism on his back sounded, and Huang Jie turned over in horror, finding that although his body could still move, he had lost all the ability to invoke spiritual energy, and at this moment he couldn't even do the slightest spiritual power movement.
A middle-aged man with a fairly kind face sat cross-legged and looked at himself who had just woken up, like watching a small worm that had fallen into his cobwebs struggling ineffectively.
He even brought a little kindness and pushed a plate filled with food over and said, "Eat some, you don't have spiritual power in your body now, so you can't eat it." ”
After the initial panic, Huang Jie gradually calmed down,
Although the demon didn't make a move on him at first, he knew it was all just a disguise.
Even the image of a kind middle-aged man in front of him is fake, which was instilled when he first participated in the encirclement and suppression.
"Demons are pus on the top of their heads, sores on the soles of their feet, and filthy black blood all over their bodies, so don't be deceived by his hypocritical appearance. Huang Jie thought silently, while shaking his head at the plate he pushed over, vigilantly watching the other party was about to judge him.
The demon was not surprised to see that Huang Jie did not take the plate.
He saw that the other party did not annoy him by yelling like the few shouts he had caught before, but silently shrank in the corner, and couldn't help but start to reevaluate this person in his heart.
He tilted his head, and seeing that he was still deeply hostile to him, he would not speak at all, so he spoke to himself.
"If I say that as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will let you out, and I believe you will not believe it. ”
Seeing that Huang Jie continued not to speak, he continued indifferently: "Then I said, if I am willing to make a bet with you, bet that you can continue to live, do you dare to take this bet?"
Huang Jie shrunk himself tighter, demons are all demagogic masters, he thought, he must not fall for him.
Seeing that Huang Jie shrunk his body tighter, the demon smiled,
He could read in his body language that he didn't trust, but he still didn't care.
He continued to talk to himself: "I'm in a good mood today, so I'm willing to make a bet with you, don't be in a hurry to refuse, listen to what I say first." ”
"Every day I will ask you three questions, and as long as you answer honestly, I will not kill you. ”
"Of course, I won't let you go, but I'll leave you unconscious and stay here, but don't worry, I'll keep you alive. ”
"I'll ask you three more questions the next day, and as long as you answer honestly, I'll continue to keep you alive. ”
"Until one day, if you can't answer the question I ask, or give me the wrong information, then I will take your life, and promise to give you a taste of pain before taking your life. ”
Speaking of this, the demon stopped, and he looked at the other party's shoulders slightly open in his playful eyes, knowing that the other party had begun to be a little moved.
After all, who would want to die if they could live?
He continued to say in a very casual tone, "You can also gamble, if you hold out long enough and I don't kill you, then you may be rescued by your people." ”
Then he said in a cold tone: "You can also choose not to bet with me, then I will not mind torturing you at all until you confide all the information you know." ”
"You know, I'm a big torturist. He finally added.
The demon stared at Huang Jie for any slight change as he spoke, and he felt that as he spoke, his breath changed rhythmically with the rhythm of his tone.
He knew that he had worked, and the other party must be reluctant to gamble with himself with his own life.
You must know that the other party was still holding the mentality of dying, but in this short time of incense, he tore a hole in his mortal defense.
He waited patiently for a long time, and the air seemed to begin to condense.
"How can I believe that after I answer your question, you will choose to keep your promise and let me live for a day?" Huang Jie finally opened his mouth to break the silence.
"The question is really a question of life and death",
"Actually, when you asked this question, you were already disqualified from negotiating", the demon smiled coldly in his heart.
He spread his hands and said, "I can't guarantee it, you can only choose to believe me, believe that I am willing to let you live one more day, instead of killing you right away." ”
"Then what if you continue to torture me after answering the question?" Huang Jie asked a second question.
"Stupid question" The demon's face turned cold, and he replied with a frown, "It's still the same answer, you can only choose to believe me." ”
Seeing that the demon began to get impatient,
Huang Jie was silent again, his face was sunny for a while, and he was obviously fighting fiercely.
The demon was not in a hurry, he let Huang Jie shrink in the corner and fight fiercely, and he began to rummage through the storage bags one by one.
Each newly seized storage bag contained something more or less useful to him,
Although most of the contents of the storage bag were useless to him, in such a harsh environment, he still patiently looked through each storage bag, not missing any opportunity to improve himself.
"This one is good" From a yellow storage bag, the demon pulled out a black knife and swallowed it with a click.
Huang Jie's eyes jumped when he saw it on the side, this storage bag was his, but he didn't expect that a third-order spirit tool for sneak attack that he bought for three hundred spirit stones entered the demon's stomach like food.
You must know that this spirit tool has reached the third order, and the materials used are generally not too ordinary, and I am afraid that ordinary demon beasts will not be able to do it just by biting their teeth.
Huang Jie watched him swallow a few more things at random, and finally couldn't stand the visual impact and terrifying pressure, coupled with the desire to survive finally overwhelmed his reason, he roared as if he was fed up: "Okay, I'll bet with you." ”
The demon raised his head and hung the storage bag back on his waist, he wouldn't give Huang Jie any chance to turn around.
A snap of his fingers:
"Very good",
He brought his face close to the face of the panicked and a little hideous Huang Jie, revealing an evil smile.
"Then let's ask the first question."
