Chapter 93 Cooperation Content
"As long as you can bring us back to the ground, you can take away whatever you take from here." Changyin said.
Xu Xin was silent for a moment and asked: "I'm afraid it's not easy to bring you back to the ground, right?"
"That's right," Chang Yin tapped the stone table with his index finger, "It's impossible for you to go back the way you came. The way you came has been blocked. If you want to return to the ground, you can only Continue walking deeper into the corridor.”
"Oh?" Xu Xin frowned, "Didn't you block it?"
The door to the dungeon entrance suddenly closed automatically after he entered and was locked.
"Of course not us." Xuelan on the side spoke, "You are the third person to cooperate with us. The road was always locked the first two times."
The third time?
"You said that the person you cooperated with last time... was the owner of this backpack?" Xu Xin pointed to the backpack she was carrying on her back.
"Yes, he is the survivor who came here twelve years ago."
Twelve years ago...it's this twelve years again. It is said that the fruits in this backpack are not rotten even after twelve years. They are indeed blue-grade fruits.
Changyin seemed to see Xu Xin's doubts and took the initiative to explain: "Every twelve years, a group of survivors from other worlds come to our world. As far as I know, you are the fifth group."
"I am the fifth batch...what happened to the first four batches of survivors?"
"I don't know," Changyin shook his head and said he didn't know. "I only come into contact with the survivors who came here."
"You treat the survivors who came here as experimental subjects. Now they have all become mutants, right?" Xu Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Chang Yin and asked.
Changyin was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.
"It's not what you think. The dozen mutants you saw were all the first batch of survivors." Xuelan spoke again.
Her voice always made people feel convincing, but Xu Xin didn't like the feeling of being led by the nose. She frowned and took out an orange from her backpack. Oranges can reduce the impact on the other party's spirit.
"Hey!" Coco, who had been lying quietly on Xu Xin's shoulder, suddenly shouted and tugged on his clothes. Xu Xin had no choice but to give one to Coco, who jumped onto the stone table, hugged the orange and started eating.
Chang Yin and Xue Lan didn't care about what Xu Xin ate. Xue Lan continued: "They came in groups and wanted to destroy everything here. At that time, Chang Yin and I were not stone statues..."
"Xuelan, there is no need to explain this kind of thing to him. Xu Xin, you just need to know that we did not kill innocent people indiscriminately." Changyin interrupted Xuelan.
"Then how do you explain the carvings on the stone table outside?" Xu Xin asked. Those kinds of words would only be carved out in extremely desperate situations.
Changyin was silent.
The room was quiet for a while, and finally Xue Lan broke the silence. She gently held Chang Yin's hand: "You mean the words on the stone table outside, right? Those were not left by the survivors."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xin didn't understand what Xuelan meant.
"I carved that word." Changyin suddenly spoke, and a flash of red light suddenly flashed in his stone eyes, fleetingly, "How do you think we became what we are now?"
< br>
Xu Xin was silent again. He didn't expect to get such an answer.
The room fell silent again.
Changyin suddenly slapped the table with his palms and made a crisp sound: "Okay, we have talked enough. Now, let's talk about cooperation. What we want you to do is very simple, that is, bring Let’s leave this place and get back to the ground.”
"To tell you the truth, this is very difficult. The survivor from twenty-four years ago was torn to pieces by the agency. The survivor from twelve years ago chose to stay here after trying to no avail, but after he stayed, He suddenly stopped breathing on the third night. You may not believe it, but his death had nothing to do with us.
So far, none of you survivors have been able to walk out of this corridor alive. The first batch was our fault, but we didn't take care of the second batch and they were all wiped out.
The third and fourth batches of survivors were all alone. We chose to cooperate and help them, but in the end we all ended in failure. And you are the fifth batch of survivors to come here. ”
Xu Xin could probably think of how the survivor died, probably because he could not complete the activity.
"In that case, why did you choose to cooperate with me?" Xu Xin was puzzled, "Didn't you try to go out on your own? Your bodies are much stronger than mine."
"Isn't there a mysterious voice that speaks in the minds of you survivors from time to time?" Chang Yin pointed at Xu Xin's head.
"...You really know the survivors."
"That mysterious voice can also talk to us."
What Chang Yin said made Xu Xin's eyelids twitch and he stood up: "Can you also hear this sound?"
If so, is this voice the "god" mentioned in the altar?
Changyin made a gesture to signal Xu Xin to sit down. After Xu Xin sat down, he said, "Yes, that voice told us before the arrival of the third batch of survivors twenty-four years ago, to follow the survivors. Only then can we get out of this dungeon.”
"We also tried to walk on our own, but the way up was blocked, and walking deeper into the corridor would be blocked by a metal door. Only you survivors can push it open. No matter what method we use, we can't open it. ." Xuelan said softly.
"Then how about I push it away for you?"
"No, there are at least three doors in the passage. The survivors from twelve years ago were stuck on the third door and could not get out. In the end, we had no choice but to return here." Xuelan explained, "If the situation does not change, the first two We all know the mechanism of the door and can leave it to us, but it’s still up to you to open the door. We can’t open the door no matter what.”
Xu Xin sorted out everything they said in her mind, about the world and various things about the survivors. At the same time, he also knew that the sound was not only related to the survivors, but also inextricably linked to other creatures in this world.
"What are you going to do after you get up there?" Xu Xin asked what he wanted to ask most right now.
"Let's talk about it when we go up. Now, we want to verify what that voice said to us."
"What words?"
"If what it says is true, you'll know it when you get to the ground."
Xu Xin didn't ask any more questions. Although what these two stone statues said did not seem to be lying to him, he did not completely believe it. Some things still needed to be verified by himself.
"Okay, I agree. I will take you out, but all the supplies you take from here belong to me."
"If you can really take us out, I can make a bunch of contract cards for you. The premise is that you can really take us out and not die on the way."
In order to prove what he said, Chang Yin took out a blank piece of paper and a special-looking pen from nowhere on the spot, and made a contract on the spot in just a few dozen seconds.
The blank paper was gradually filled with strange words under the long-print pen, emitting a green light. The completed Changyin handed the contract to Xu Xin: "Don't you survivors be able to see the properties of items when you touch them?"
Xu Xin took it, and sure enough, it was the [Mutated Beast Contract]. There were some words on it that Xu Xin couldn't understand. It was a bit like ancient writing like oracle bone inscriptions, just like the previous contract.
"...How was this made?" Xu Xin was a little confused, so he just wrote a few strokes and it was done?
"Secrets, oh, there's no need to return them to me. If you can take us out, these will naturally be yours."
He didn't say a word. If you can't get out, these things will naturally remain in the dungeon.
Xu Xin decided to go back and take a look. Chang Yin told him that the original road was closed, but he still wanted to check it out himself.
Changyin and Xuelan did not follow Xu Xin. According to their words, this place must be closed. Xu Xin was coming back anyway, so they would not follow.
He opened the door to the room and walked out, only to find the stone statue of a middle-aged maid standing not far from the door. This stone statue had never come out since the beginning. It suddenly appeared not far from the door, which shocked Xu Xin.
"Um, hello." Xu Xin greeted the stone statue of the maid.
"Hello." The stone statue of the maid also bowed to him, as if a servant had met a guest.
According to Chang Yin, this maid stone statue should have been a human being in the past.
Seeing that the maid's stone statue made no next move, Xu Xin nodded to her, turned and left.
After leaving the corridor, Xu Xin took Coco to the stone room at the entrance of the corridor.
The table with the words engraved with resentment still stood here. Xu Xin approached again and carefully observed the writing on it.
Although the handwriting is crooked and difficult to read, it is indeed somewhat similar to the handwriting on the newly made [Mutant Beast Contract] that was just printed. Although it is not the same type of writing, the habits of certain strokes are exactly the same.
It seems that Chang Yin did not lie. These words should have been carved by him. Xu Xin felt relieved after confirming this.
Although he was curious about how Changyin's family became stone statues, Xu Xin didn't have the habit of exposing people's scars, and judging from Changyin's attitude, he would never tell Xu Xin.
He stood up and walked to the door that he had tightly closed to avoid the mutated bats. He reached out and gently opened the door.
A bat that was squeezed to death when Xu Xin closed the door fell to the ground, making a snapping sound.
The two rows of candlesticks on the wall of the staircase passage were still burning, illuminating the entire staircase.
"Hey!" Coco yelled softly, pointing to the densely packed group of bats hanging upside down not far above the steps.
Xu Xin took out the broom that could drive away wild beasts from his backpack.
The moment he took out his broom, the bat swarm suddenly moved. Thanks to [Dawn at the End of Dawn] for the reward of 100 starting coins, thank you for your support!
