"They can't handle it?" Li Yunxin immediately asked.

Xie Sheng hesitated for a moment, as if his thinking was still dull.

Li Yun shouted in his heart: "Don't think! Answer me immediately!"

He ...... They...... It's hard!" Xie Sheng said. was questioned by Li Yunxin again and again, and was under his control. If you were a random person, your psychological defenses would probably collapse soon. But this Xie Sheng slowly calmed down, and it seemed that his consciousness was gradually clear, showing an unimaginably strong psychological quality. His words became more coherent, and he even began to ask the usual rhetorical questions like the previous ones, "You should know! You are also from the civilized world! If something goes wrong with a precision machine, it is not something that a few non-professionals can fix...... What's more, it's something like Yunshan!"

This is exactly what Li Yunxin is worried about outside. Maybe there's such a possibility—it's just that Di Gong thinks they've repaired it.

It's like the windshield of a car shattered, and he went to find a piece of ordinary glass to put it on. It looks like it's okay, but it's not the same concept as "fixing".

Of course, this remains to be confirmed.

So he asked a second question.

"Why did you leave in the first place? Why did you flee into deep space? What are you afraid of!?"

"What are you afraid of...... What are you afraid of......" Xie Sheng muttered twice. This time, Li Yunxin didn't stare at him and urged him. Because he felt that Xie Sheng's momentary confusion did not seem to be delaying time, but more like because one thing was indeed too long ago, and it was a little difficult to think about it.

If he hadn't reacted like this, Li Yunxin would have suspected that he was cheating. Because of what happened tens of thousands of years ago...... I still know it from the information. When you think about it suddenly, it does make people hesitate for a while.

Fortunately, Xie Sheng didn't hesitate for long. He blinked nervously: "Because...... Gaia...... There's something down there—"

and Di Gong's statement is confirmed.

Li Yunxin immediately shouted: "What I'm asking is - why did you run so far!"

Xie Sheng looked dazed again. But this kind of confusion is different from just now - not because he can't remember anything for a while, but because he is puzzled by Li Yunxin's problem. He asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunxin raised his eyebrows: "You can't stay here, why don't you go to other planets in the solar system?"

A strange expression appeared on Xie Sheng's face. It seemed that he couldn't help but make a lot of nonsense and ridicule, but when he thought that he was still pinched in Li Yunxin's hands now, he couldn't help it-after such a long torture, he finally "had a better memory".

But it was still not tame, and he still used the rhetorical tone he was used to: "Why don't you stay in the place where you were born for the rest of your life, for example, in the community where you were born? It can also meet all your needs, even from a material point of view, and is more comfortable in the short term! I said earlier that your world is too backward, and you don't know at all-"

Li Yunxin raised his hand and slapped him again, and said in a deep voice, "Speak well." ”

Xie Sheng gritted his teeth: "I...... Well, you think so!"

"What is the essence of a civilization? It is development, expansion, conquest! Even in the Stone Age, primitive man could not stay in a cave forever. If they want to expand, they have to develop, they want to develop—at least there will be flint for weapons! So they have to migrate and expand to more flint!"

"At this point in our civilization, it is no longer the resources of your backward civilization that restricts development and progress...... It's a condition!"

Li Yunxin originally raised his hand again. But when he heard him say the word "condition", he put his hand down: "What do you mean?"

"Haha, have you seen-" Xie Sheng gritted his teeth and laughed, "With a black hole the size of the sun as the core and six stars within fifteen light years as the power, is it a physics laboratory built across eleven star systems??"

"Can you imagine that we destroyed half of the spiral arms of the Milky Way in an experiment to test a theoretical idea? ! Shrinking into the solar system, where do you find such high-energy conditions!?" Xie Sheng shouted, "Everything is for development! In the first place, we dismantled almost the entire solar system for the sake of development and for the sake of sailing! Why do you say we have to go so far!?"

Li Yunxin was silent for a while.

With his insight...... It is indeed difficult to imagine the technical level that Xie Sheng is talking about—if he had not deliberately exaggerated it for self-preservation.

But he really couldn't see Venus in the starry sky here. He had noticed this on the night when Bai Yanjun showed up to teach him how to take the Dragon Clan.

And yet—

"But with such a level of development, you have sent a person like you to 'support' them?"

Xie Sheng snorted coldly and asked rhetorically: "What, do you think it's in your world? After receiving a distress signal, you sent some kind of land aircraft to the scene of the incident? We are more than two million light years away from here. We're no longer in the Milky Way, we're even past the Andromeda Nebula! The only way to get back here is to teleport!"

Li Yun thought for a moment, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "If you arm the natives of this world—armed with arquebuses, do you think it is possible to kill all the cultivators and demons in the world?"

Xie Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't you realize it? This world has been around for 40,000 years. It's still in the farming stage, why?"

Of course Li Yunxin thought about it. But he ignored Xie Sheng and asked a question again: "So what if they had a steam engine?"

Xie Sheng snorted: "What, you want to lead this world into an industrial society?"

Li Yunxin said: "Then they can use oil. ”

Xie Sheng frowned suspiciously. After thinking for a while, it suddenly dawned on him: "It turns out that you already know what the group of people on Yunshan are going to do." ”

Li Yunxin was silent: "What do you say?"

Xie Sheng smiled clearly: "Where did you hear that those people on Yunshan want to leave here." It should also be known that they want Dragon Island...... I want the energy underground. If I'm not mistaken, you came here in such a hurry to ask me something, probably because things have reached a critical juncture. Maybe Yunshan has reached the sky above Dragon Island...... There's nothing you can do to stop them. ”

"You should also know that once Dragon Island extracts the energy from the underground, the so-called Netherworld entrance to this world will be wide open - so you came to ask me if I could solve this problem with other energy sources, such as oil? Oil can't drive the clouds. ”

"If you want to solve the problem, only I know what to do. ”

When he said these words, Li Yunxin's face was expressionless. Therefore, Xie Sheng realized that he had grasped the key point -

Indeed, the people on the Cloud Mountain sent a message to them asking for help a long time ago. Along with the message, it also details the state of the world at that time, what they intend to do, and what the future may hold.

When he came to this world, he saw the appearance of this world and realized that the rule of the group of people in Yunshan was stable - of course, the matter about "Yunshan" was inadvertently revealed by Li Yunxin in his interrogations again and again. Xie Sheng's ability to integrate information was not inferior to that of the terrifying opponent in front of him, and he quickly deduced the whole picture of the matter.

Just like Li Yunxin did in the past - when the enemy was interrogating him, he also got information from the enemy. It's an inevitable two-way process.

Since Yunshan's rule is stable and strong, it means that they have absolute dominance over this world. He came to sea in order to find his "organization" and find the "true dragon". Only then did he realize that he had taken the wrong path - his organization should be on the cloud mountain.

Now that Li Yunxin's questions to himself have begun to involve the core secrets of this world, it means that the people on Yunshan have had more contact with him, and even have a showdown.

When he saw him, he said something like this - "I thought I got a trump card, but it was a chicken rib."

Based on this information, Xie Sheng thinks he knows such a fact:

The people on Cloud Mountain, somehow, have fixed the system that is out of order - this is doubtful. He himself said that that kind of failure is unlikely to be solved in such a world.

And the Yunshan people, who think they have fixed the problem, are currently planning to escape from this world. But Yunshan leaving this world will extract energy, which will cause disaster.

Li Yunxin didn't want to see this kind of disaster...... So I wanted to get a solution from myself.

Xie Sheng realized that his chance to get out had finally come.

In fact, it is long overdue to come to this point - to reveal the truth of this world to Li Yunxin and Panhe, so that he can realize that this is not a place to stay for a long time. But once upon a time...... Li Yunxin didn't give him a chance to speak. This is an extremely confident guy who only asks what he wants every time he is interrogated. He is also an extremely paranoid fellow, and if he does not get a satisfactory result in his questioning, terrible torture will follow. It was difficult for Xie Sheng to have the opportunity to communicate with him like this, so that he could realize how big the difference between the two civilizations behind the two sides was...... There are so many things that he simply can't understand!

It's like a person in his world, who can't tell primitive people that he pricked their bodies with needles not to kill but to save people!

But now the barbarian himself has received a lot of information...... I also slowly understand the meaning of those intelligences.

He could make him understand how foolish it was to imprison himself here.

So he took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and looked at Li Yunxin: "Now you understand what I'm here for." It's to save. This world ...... It will be destroyed at the hands of Mother Netherworld. ”

He paused slightly when he said this, looking at Li Yunxin's expression. If there is no flaw in the other party's expression, or a little bit of sarcasm, it means that he is very likely to know a deeper truth. Then he had to tell the story in order to gain the trust of the other party.

He was trained to detect extremely subtle changes in the expression of a person's face. Li Yunxin has great powers in this world...... But ordinary people will not understand this technique. It is also extremely difficult to disguise yourself in front of him. In this regard, Xie Sheng considers himself an expert.

Then he found that the corners of Li Yunxin's mouth were slightly upturned, and his eyes were slightly enlarged—as if he was relieved.

This answer of their own...... It was reassuring to him.

It should be that the people on Yunshan also said similar things to him, and the two sides confirmed it.

So he took back the words he had prepared and continued: "But it's not like you can rest easy when you leave here. It's hard to imagine how dangerous and difficult it can be to navigate deep space. Yunshan was built over tens of thousands of years. The people on Cloud Mountain thought it was enough to keep them safe—within the solar system, perhaps. But once it is far away from the solar system, Yunshan will not be able to hold on. ”

"It's so small—our world's smallest Pioneer is ten times its size. It had to undergo some makeovers...... The way to transform is here. ”

"If you leave with the people on Cloud Mountain, there is only one dead end. You say I'm a chicken...... It's time to hear some of their very confident statements. But what I'm going to tell you is that their self-confidence is as vulnerable as the self-confidence of a knight in the age of cold weapons in front of a machine gun. ”

"Let me out. Xie Sheng said, "I know that you and I are a misunderstanding caused by cognition. ”

"Once upon a time your vision was limited to this world...... I feel like I'm here to take your power, your power, your position. But now you know that I don't need any of this, and from the very beginning, there was no conflict between you and me!"

Li Yunxin was still silent for a while.

Xie Sheng observed his expression, but found nothing. This made him a little frightened.

Then Li Yunxin smiled: "Are you observing me?"

“...... What?"

"You're watching me. Li Yunxin restrained his smile, "Just after you said that this world was going to be destroyed at the hands of the Netherworld Mother." ”

Xie Sheng's eyes widened unconsciously.

"Maybe it's because you've been tortured by me for too long, and your mind is not clear. Li Yunxin put his hand behind his back and sighed lightly, "When observing my reaction, you forgot to restrain yourself - at that time, you were very worried." I can see that. This means, you have something to say. If I had just shown a little bit of something else, you would have fooled me with another set of rhetoric. Right. ”

"The Great Tribulation you are talking about is not Netherworld. Now I can confirm that. ”

"You ......" Xie Sheng opened his mouth, "How could you-"

"So you're out of luck. Li Yunxin smiled, "This kind of observation method between you and me, there is probably no second person in this world who knows." And then you bumped into me again. I've never seen a protagonist as unlucky as you. ”

Xie Sheng tried to make another effort. He quickly calmed himself down and looked sincere: "You misunderstood. What I was about to say but didn't say was that there might be other people underground who didn't want to let us go. But then I realized that you should know that—"

Li Yunxin waved his hand: "The Great Tribulation will not be this. ”

"When I was talking to you, I mentioned a few words. He looked at Xie Sheng, "Arquebus, steam engine, oil." Your expression and what you say tell me that you are not unfamiliar with these three concepts, and it is not difficult to understand them at all. This means that your civilization did go through these stages when it developed. ”

"So what? It's just—" Xie Sheng exhaled in a low voice. But soon realized something and stopped talking.

Li Yunxin smiled: "You have also figured it out? In today's world, some physical laws are different. For example, the Divine Passage Method. If your world had always been like this, the technological thread you had been through would have gone the other way. But you know that the things I mentioned mean that your old world and my old world were similar, or even identical, in terms of physical laws - we were on the same path. ”

"So the world is not what it used to be. It's something that has happened, that has changed. ”

"This change must be crucial, so the people on Yunshan are not afraid that you are in my hands, and they are not afraid that I will ask you. Because you know you'll never say it. You also know this, so you have a very tacit understanding with them when you lie to me. Since you are trying to hide it, I think it has to do with the real catastrophe. ”

"Tell me, am I right?"

Xie Sheng was silent for a long time and regained his composure: "Yes." ”

Li Yunxin looked at him: "Every time I come to ask you, you say that you must tell the truth this time." But every time they lie to me. ”

"Now what do you want me to do with you?"

Xie Sheng raised his head: "Take away the monster below." Keep me alone here to keep me conscious. ”

"Oh, tell me why I did that?"

"Because, even if I can't say what the real catastrophe is, the threat of Nethermother is real. You and I have the same understanding of the situation in Yunshan. Maybe I won't be able to help you escape the catastrophe, but at least I can help you escape Netherworld. ”

"But if you continue to torture me like this, I'm going to really go crazy. At that point, if you're going to use Yunshan, you won't be able to find someone who can actually fix it—I know you're going to say Chen Feng. She couldn't. She came two thousand years before me. What she has in her hands is outdated. ”

Li Yun thought for a while: "One last question." Why can't you say that?"

Xie Sheng was silent for a long time, and then said, "Because it is related to the survival of my civilization. ”

Li Yunxin sighed. He could see that Xie Sheng's words were true. This means that if Xie Sheng himself did not have the will to confess, he might not be able to extract anything from this person's mouth. This person...... It's not a good character, but it's the norm for the kind of people who do this kind of work - you can't expect an agent to be ruthless and deceitful without blinking, but also to be kind-hearted and soft-hearted.

But there are some guys in this category...... For an ideal or purpose, it is possible to endure unimaginable pain. Xie Sheng is in this category.

"You'd better pray that I can use you. Li Yunxin shook his head, "Because in this world, death is far from the end. ”

When he said this, he threw his hand into the sea. The knotted shark that had been trembling and shrinking in the water because of his current momentum immediately turned into a white light and was included in his sleeve.

And then the figure disappeared-

The fierce and domineering Netherworld Qi and the huge palms of more than a dozen monsters immediately squeezed from all directions.
