Chapter 2761 The Past of the Man in the Shell
At another intersection of the sewer pipe and the canal, the Man in the Shell used a filter to collect the rotten food from the sewage outlet, drained the water, and ate a full meal.
Zana and the others experienced acid reflux in their stomachs. Even the nervous Poirot lay on the ground and vomited. Since he had not eaten anything, he vomited out all the bile and only felt a bitterness in his throat. Burning acid.
The man in the shell ate with gusto, sat cross-legged on the ground and lit a fire, and asked Zana if they wanted to eat something.
Zana covered his throat and waved his hands vigorously. After enduring it for a long time, he still couldn't hold it in. He vomited out a mouthful of sour water and said in disbelief: "You feed on these things? How can you eat them?"
The man in the shell said: "Just get used to it...it's good. When I started...I couldn't get used to it at first, but after a while...I thought it was quite delicious."
"... Can you stop eating, I..." Zana retched, and the others also said: "We can't stand it."
A moment later. The man in the shell was already full, and he led Zana and others to a dry place. The two parties kept a distance of more than ten meters before chatting.
Zana asked first: "What do you call me, are you a Desman?"
"I am not... not a Desman, but I am a Desman... ... I am from the Kingdom of the River. What is my name? ..." He was lost in memories for a long time, and after being in a daze for a while, he said: "It's called...I can't remember anything, and I don't...don't want to remember it. Miss Zhen...call me Ake, you guys can do the same...like this. Call me.”
"Has anyone else seen you? Miss Jane?" Since they had just parted ways with Live Jane, Zana asked tentatively: "Are you talking about Live Jane?"
"Leif Jane ..." The man in the shell nodded and said happily: "Yes, it's her...she is My name is Leif Jane, a lovely, kind, kind and beautiful girl. She is not afraid of me at all, and she even brings me medicine. Without her... without her, I wouldn’t be alive now. Her?”
Zana thought to herself. What a coincidence. His mind changed and he nodded: "Yes, we know each other. She has helped us a lot. Without her help, we would probably have encountered misfortune. She is really simple and kind." He asked again: "She is from the arsenal. You have met her. Are you afraid that she will expose you?"
The man in the shell waved his hand: "She promised me that she wouldn't tell anyone that I was here."
" How did she discover you?”
The man in the shell recalled: "One time, I ate... something bad and felt very uncomfortable. It was... food poisoning. In the past, food poisoning could be tolerated and then... it would pass, but that time I endured... I endured it for a long time, but then I couldn’t bear it anymore. I...I went to find...outside to find medicine, but it was too...too painful. , passed out, woke up...when I woke up, I...saw her. She was very gentle and cheerful, and brought me medicine. I took it and it really made me better..." said the man in the shell. Later, the tone of voice was full of love, and even the words were no longer stuttering, as if they were recalling the beauty that was far away but not far away.
"Do you like her?" Zana asked.
After hearing this, the man in the shell suddenly stopped talking.
Colon calmed down and said to Zana: "Hey, why are you talking to him about these things? Can you talk about something useful? Our situation is very urgent now!"
< br>Zana turned back and glared at him, thinking that there really wasn't much time left, but the man in front of him was very timid and cautious. If the conversation didn't go well, he would be ready to run away as before, and it would be impossible to get him back. . Now that Ake has clearly shown his admiration for Jane, and uses this as a breakthrough point to attack her heart, he will naturally be able to answer all questions. In fact, it's not that Cologne doesn't understand this, it's just that his current situation prevents him from handling the problem calmly. The two chatted a few more words about Jane, and the man in the shell suddenly asked: "Will Jane like...like me? I look like this...she must hate it, right?"
Zana naturally followed the words: "She hates you, why would she help you? Girls will not help people they hate."
"Really?" The person in the shell is in the shell. His eyes were wide open.
Zana smiled and said: "I have also dated some girls. Like Jane, she is a kind-hearted and compassionate girl. She...may not accept you right away, but she will definitely not hate you, I won’t exclude you. This is your chance to get along.”
The man in the shell was very happy and clapped his hands: “Yes, yes, that’s right...Jane, she must be...I.” There is a chance, yes..." He was very excited.
Zana's mind changed and he added: "If Kezhen stays here all the time, you will never have a chance. This is a huge cell, and she is being watched very strictly here. I heard from her sister that she will get married here in the future. Give birth to a child, and you can only live the rest of your life in the gutter."
After hearing this, the eyes of the man in the shell dimmed again.
Zana asked: "Have you never thought about taking her out and leaving this prison?"
"I...I have thought about it, why haven't I thought about it, I... I... I want to... day and night, but I... can't get out." The man in the shell said in despair: "I have been trapped... here for a long, long time. The situation here is very complicated. I ...I can't get out alone, let alone... take Jane with me. I... have been hoping that the empire will come... to rescue me, and then I can... But after waiting for a long time, the empire never came. Someone..."
Zana kept hearing him talk about the Empire, so he asked him: "Don't you know that the Disman Empire is gone?"
The man in the shell was stunned, and asked in confusion for a while: "What does it mean to be gone?"
Zana asked back: "When did you come here?"
The person in the shell has now let go of his guard and put his own affairs into perspective. Out: "It's been a long time..."
At that time, the Thornton Kingdom was discussing the merger with the River Kingdom. As a spy working for the Disman Empire, he received the latest mission. Taking advantage of the merger of the two countries, he Chaos, find a way to become a member of the arsenal. The Desman Empire had long heard about the arsenal. At that time, it was not called the Three-Headed Dragon Arsenal. The Desman authorities thought that before and after the merger of the two countries, the arsenal would definitely face a lot of personnel changes, so they sent people to sneak in. Opportunities to gain information. As a native of the River Country, the man in the shell is a hero among the younger generation with his excellent academic performance and work experience. With his pure and reliable background, he has a good chance of entering the arsenal. And the facts were as expected. The man in the shell didn't know if he was the only Desman spy to break into the arsenal. He quickly started to collect intelligence, but the intelligence was collected but could not be sent out. Just when he was thinking hard about this, something happened in the arsenal. A large-scale internal investigation was launched, and some people were killed and arrested. The reasons were very complicated, including political infighting, factional power struggles, and spies being investigated. The intelligence he collected was discovered and he became a target. Fortunately, he acted sharply and realized something was wrong before he was arrested, so he ran away early. But he still couldn't escape from the tight arsenal. He was seriously injured in the end and hid in the pressure relief tank.
The person in charge of security at the arsenal at the time thought he was dead, but still sent people to search the entire factory. He was rushed into the isolation layer when he was hiding randomly, and was taken to the sewer when the water was finally released. At that time, he was highly poisoned by the poisonous sewage and thought he was dead, but somehow he didn't die and survived by luck. Although he was alive, he was tortured by injuries and poisons day and night, and even his basic ability to survive was lost. He could only feed on the garbage around him, and sometimes he could only eat other people's feces. It was not until a long time passed, maybe several years, that his injuries and poison gradually recovered and receded. Since then, he has been living in the sewage system of the arsenal, and it has slowly become like this.
After hearing this, Heiting and Cologne could not imagine how amazing his will to survive was that allowed him to survive to this day, and they felt a trace of admiration in their hearts.
