Chapter 12: Reversal (II)
It wasn't until Yin He stopped for a while that Jiang Qiang, who was on the other side, looked into his eyes and said slowly: "According to the news coming out of the inner ring now, the ninety-eight people in the team you are in, plus the one hundred and thirty-five people in the fourteenth Qingyu Institute, you are the only one who survives now." ”
Yin He was silent for a moment and said, "I'm lucky. ”
"It's not just good luck, you can sit here now, just talk about chance, you can be regarded as able to go against the sky. Mo Tieshu, an old man who had not spoken, suddenly interjected beside him.
Yin He's face was expressionless, as if he didn't understand the hint of mockery that was actually quite obvious in Mo Tieshu's words.
Jiang Qiang didn't say anything about this, but after a pause, he said to Yin He: "There are a few things now, and several elders in the elder council feel that something is inappropriate, so let you answer carefully." ”
Yin He frowned and said, "Lord Jiang, in fact, I can really answer directly in front of all the respected elders, so I don't need to trouble you to keep running ......over."
"If you want to say it, you can say it, don't talk so much nonsense. How many important things do the elders have to do on weekdays, we just share a little bit for them. ”
A soft and pleasant voice suddenly sounded, but it was the girl named Ji Honglian who spoke. Although her words sounded a little unkind, she still smiled when she spoke, making it difficult to get angry with her.
Yin He didn't seem to be very angry, just glanced at her and nodded.
Jiang Qiang said: "First, so many people outside the Fourteen Qingyu Institute died tragically on the spot, but they couldn't find the remains of many people afterwards, how can they explain?"
Yin He was silent for a moment, and said: "When the incident happened that day, the black mantis was too brutal and powerful, directly tearing and tearing the flesh of many people, in addition, I also said before, because I saw that monster laying eggs on the remains of many brothers, in order to prevent their bodies from being poisoned again, and also for revenge and future trouble, I piled most of the corpses together and set them on fire." ”
At this time, Mo Tieshu suddenly shook his head on the side and said, "Our human race has been exploring the Inner Ring Land for hundreds of years, but we have never heard of a monster like the Black Mantis. ”
Yin He smiled bitterly and said, "I haven't heard of it before, but this kind of monster does exist, and it has killed so many of us, probably hidden in the depths of the Inner Ring Land before." ”
Mo Tieshu shook his head slowly, although he did not refute Yin He's words again, but looking at his expression, Yin He's answer just now should not have convinced him.
Jiang Qiang said: "I will truthfully convey your answer to the elders later. The second question, we sent someone to check, there are indeed traces of fallen trees and fierce fighting in that forest, but the physical body of the black mantis you mentioned is not there. He looked at Yin He and said, "Can you tell me where the body of the Black Mantis went?"
Yin He was stunned and said, "I remember very clearly, the Black Devil Mantis died in that forest, it is impossible not to be there." ”
Jiang Qiang shook his head and said, "It's gone, no one has found that thing." I'm going to ask you now, can you tell me where the Dark Mantis's body is?"
Yin He was dazed for a while, and after a while, he smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know." ”
Jiang Qiang nodded, and it seemed that he had determined the answer he wanted, so he no longer dwelled on this question, but proposed a third thing to Yin He.
Something that sounds very abrupt and very strange.
"Do you know someone named Xiao Wu?"
Jiang Qiang looked at Yin He and asked, at the same time, his body leaned forward slightly, and there was a faint hint of nervousness on his face, it seemed that he was more concerned about this question than the words he had asked before, and he also attached more importance to it.
※※※
"Xiao Wu ......"
The things asked in the first few questions were actually all asked by Yin He in the previous inquiries, so he was already prepared in his heart, not surprised or nervous, but today's last question was the first time he heard it, and at the same time, he was suddenly a little confused at that moment, and he didn't react for a while, and repeated in amazement.
Jiang Qiang looked at him, nodded, and repeated the question just now, and then seemed to be afraid that he would not be detailed enough, so he actually carefully described the appearance characteristics of the Xiao Wu he said to Yin Hezai.
At the same time, Yin He unexpectedly found that the other two people, Mo Tieshu and Ji Honglian, also seemed to have some unusual attention to this Xiao Wu, and their faces became serious.
If at the beginning, Yin He's first reaction was to think of the newcomer Xiao Wu who was in his team that day, and he was still a little uncertain and uncertain, and then the appearance characteristics described by Jiang Qiang, such as young years, such as round face, such as clothes and figure, etc., quickly made Yin He determine that this Jiang Qiang, who has a high status in the Holy City of the Terran and can walk in front of the most powerful elders, is asking Xiao Wu who looks young, curious and inexperienced.
He looked down for a moment, then said, "I seem to remember that there was such a person in the team. ”
Jiang Qiang's body shook slightly, a hint of joy appeared on his face, and he hurriedly asked, "Then how is he now, did you see what happened to him later?"
Yin He frowned and recalled carefully, that day, all kinds of scenes passed through his mind one after another, but that earth-shattering change was too shocking, and all kinds of tragic pictures occupied most of his memories, but he couldn't remember the final fate of Xiao Wu, who was not particularly inconspicuous, for a while.
Was he dead? It seemed like he hadn't seen him die under the blade of the Black Mantis monster.
Was he still alive? But he seemed to remember very well that he didn't see any living wounds left that day.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yin He found that he didn't seem to be sure that when he carried the body and burned it that day, he had moved the body of the person named Xiao Wu in his hands.
So, is he dead or alive?
Yin He didn't know how to answer for a while.
The Jiang Qiang man in front of him obviously paid special attention to this question, and when he saw that Yin He was still frowning after thinking for a while, he didn't give a positive answer, so he couldn't help but ask again.
After thinking about his memories repeatedly, Yin He finally shook his head and said, "I'm still not sure about this. As he spoke, he told the three people present everything he had seen, including any details he could remember, and finally said, "I really can't remember seeing Xiao Wu die with my own eyes, so I can't be sure that he died." But at that time, I didn't think anyone could escape their lives, and if I had to say that there was a chance, I think it was probably only during the time I hid in the Qingyu Place, Xiao Wu lay on the ground and pretended to be dead, and when the monster left, he ran away. ”
After he said this, the faces of the three people opposite seemed to be a little unpleasant.
Although Yin He's words were relatively tactful, in fact, everyone could hear what he meant, that is, in Yin He's opinion, he felt that Xiao Wu was afraid that he would not escape death. As for pretending to be dead and escaping, I can really only listen to it, not to mention that the tragic scene at that time may not be able to hide from the terrifying monster, even if the pretending to be dead is successful, but there is still a pass of green worm eggs behind it, to be honest, it is difficult to dodge.
Taking a thousand steps back, this young man named Xiao Wu was so lucky that he actually passed these hurdles in a row and really escaped from that hellish place. So, after so many days, why hasn't he heard back yet?
You must know that in the Inner Ring, there is always only one path for the Terrans, and it is impossible to get lost.
Jiang Qiang was silent for a long time, then stood up, nodded to Yin He, and said, "Okay, I will truthfully relay these things to the Council of Elders today." As for what to do with you later, it depends on what the elders mean. ”
With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Mo Tieshu followed closely behind him, and Ji Honglian walked at the back. But when she was about to leave the house, she suddenly glanced back at Yin He.
Yin He smiled at her.
The corners of Ji Honglian's mouth twitched slightly, she smiled and nodded, and suddenly stuck out her tongue at Yin He playfully, and then walked out of the door with a straight face.
