Chapter 12 Cooperation
Xiao En even admired himself a little.
Because he had a good sleep last night, he seemed to have slowly adapted to this place in just a few days.
Breakfast is left outside the door.
The butcher is at work, chopping meat and breaking down the huge pillar of flesh and blood.
"What you want is over there." The butcher didn't even look back, he was very focused on his work.
Xiao En glanced at the butcher's muscular back and opened the box on the side. Inside there was a new set of clothes, a shirt, a jacket, a coat, and even a black beret.
In the corner of the box are two revolvers and a box of ammunition.
Xiao En did not expect that the butcher would meet his request so quickly. The other two pistols he asked for were delivered the next day.
Cang!
The butcher put down the boning knife in his hand and said seriously: "These expenses will be deducted from your salary."
Xiao En nodded obediently and said: "Okay."
Three guns.
It's a little hard to put in, but you can put a handful in the lining pocket, but be careful of the fire. You may need a special windbreaker in the future.
“From today on, I won’t pick you up or drop you off.”
The butcher continued to chop the meat and said: "The soul echoing ceremony has ended. You need to adapt to this place slowly."
"Remember not to run around."
Xiao En nodded obediently again and said: "Okay."
Work in the morning and have classes in the afternoon.
Xiao En is already very good at dealing with those soul worms. As long as he keeps a proper distance, the mysterious hand can slowly destroy them.
Labyrinth corridor.
When Xiao En came to Ms. Hecate again, the pretty girl he met yesterday was already there. There was an extra table next to her. She was looking at him curiously and took the initiative to show her kindness. A sweet smile.
This girl has long, silky flaxen hair, lively eyes, a pretty face, and a graceful figure. When she smiles, she has two dimples, which makes her look very friendly.
Ms. Hecate raised her eyes to look at Xiao En and said calmly: "Get ready for class."
"Today we will talk about general knowledge."
In Ms. Hecate's place, the two alien souls were very well-behaved and obedient. Today's lecture was about general knowledge. Xiao En could feel that the eyes of the girl opposite would fall on him from time to time.
I don’t know if it was Xiao En’s misunderstanding, but he always felt that Ms. Hecate seemed a little absent-minded today.
The course will end soon.
The next step is to read by yourself, because the knowledge memorized in the brain has not been digested yet. Xiao En did not use the reading magic to memorize by rote today, but flipped through the books to review and understand. Ms. Hecate has left. She has a large collection of books here, estimated to be hundreds of thousands, but they are only allowed to look at those brought by the wandering maid.
“Hello.” The girl facing her raised her head and smiled: “My name is Lolis.”
Xiao En nodded and said: "Hello. My name is Xiao En."
The two parties did not continue to communicate, but just got to know each other briefly.
Time flies.
Xiao En and the others can only stay here for three hours every day. When the time comes, the ghost maid will take them out of the maze corridor.
The butcher didn't come to pick him up today.
When Xiao En walked out of the maze corridor, he was about to say goodbye politely to the beautiful girl next to him. Unexpectedly, she suddenly pulled Xiao En's sleeve. Without moving his mouth, the voice came into Xiao En's mind: "Follow me." I’m coming!”
Voice transmission?
Some kind of spell?
Xiao En hesitated for a moment, but finally followed the other person's footsteps down the steps and entered the dark corner under the corridor.
“Shh!”
The girl raised a finger, looked around, moved her lips slightly, and the voice came directly into his mind: "Don't talk."
"Do you want to leave here?"
"Nod or shake your head."
Xiao En was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.
Loris looked around cautiously and continued to transmit: "I have a way to escape, but I need someone to help me."
Xiao En looked a little hesitant and said with his lips: "It's dangerous outside."
He couldn't transmit messages.
Loris clearly understood Xiao En's lip language, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. Her pretty face suddenly became a little evil, and she said in a deep voice: "You don't really believe their lies, do you?"
"Lies fabricated by a group of necromancers?"
"They are just a group of shameful thieves, soul stealers, just like the Abyss Those slugs in there are just as disgusting!”
"They use a method unknown to us to steal souls from other worlds, and then resurrect them on the corpses of those mortals, just to achieve some ulterior purpose!"
The other party seems to know more. many.
Xiao En fell silent after hearing this. He didn't know which one to believe.
If he chooses to believe the girl in front of him, it means that everyone before him is deceiving him.
"Have you seen those worms?" Lolis continued: "Those soul worms, although their appearance has changed a bit, I can't mistake the disgusting human faces on their heads."
Xiao En nodded.
Loris' voice said faintly: "Those bugs are not things that should exist in the real world."
"We may be in the underworld or a certain level of the spiritual world now."
“This is the land of the dead.”
“They’re lying to us.”
Lolis was very alert. The pretty girl glanced at her, then turned and left.
"You should think carefully about whether to escape with me."
"Stay here, we will all die sooner or later."
Xiao En stood where he was. He watched the other party's figure leave until Lolis' figure disappeared in the corridor, and then he turned around and returned to his residence.
The other party is also a soul from another world.
But I don’t know where they come from. The presence of so many time-travelers here at the same time is a very strange thing in itself.
No one’s word can be trusted.
For Xiao En, he only believes what he sees with his own eyes.
In Xiao En's vision, everyone is a monster, including Ms. Hecate, a terrifying existence that 'cannot be looked at directly'.
Although this girl is not that weird, the black halo surrounding her body is probably not simple either. The butcher is not here today.
Shaun's dinner was bacon, bacon, boiled broccoli, roasted tomatoes, and a stewed mushroom porridge.
The maid delivering the meal today is another one.
But it’s still not a living person.
Xiao En's appetite is not good today. He has been thinking about the girl's words. The other person's words seemed to have planted a seed of doubt in his heart, and everything became suspicious for a while. got up.
"Where is this place?"
"Who should I believe?"
Xiao En took out his three revolvers and began to reload the bullets one by one. As a newly minted transcendent, his spells were not powerful. One of the spells had to come into contact with the opponent's body to be effective. In comparison, the three pistols in front of him gave him a little bit more security.
The origin of Lolis is not simple.
Butcher said that the souls from other worlds that come to the weird kingdom are not only humans, but also elves, devils, angels, and even extraordinary beings such as dragons.
"Then what was Lolis' past life?"
"Humans from another world with powerful power, or a legendary non-human race!"
"She doesn't believe everything here."
“She wants to escape.”
Xiao En also needs to find the answer, because if Lolis is right, then the lies they carefully weave must have a bigger meaning conspiracy.
He drew his gun and aimed at the bookshelf in front of him. Three guns and a dark invisible hand extended from Xiao En's back.
The butcher didn't come back today.
Xiao En didn’t know where he went, but he didn’t forget his work during the day, because the butcher said that even the dead have to work here.
Maze corridor.
Coincidentally, Ms. Hecate is not here today either, so the originally scheduled class has become a self-study. The ghost maid has prepared some books for them to read in advance.
——"Advanced Skills of Spellcasting Concentration".
Xiao En was obviously a little distracted today, because he couldn't help but look at the girl opposite.
But the other party is very calm today.
It was not until the end of three hours that the two people walked out of the maze corridor one after another.
"How are you thinking about it?" Lolis' figure was hidden in the shadows.
Xiao En stopped and whispered: "Why should I believe what you said?"
Loris seemed confident and said calmly: "Then you can only stay here and wait to die, no, even worse than Death is worse."
- Detect emotions.
Xiao En's eyes moved, and he felt a strong feeling of impatience and anxiety. It seemed that the other party was not as calm as she showed.
This spell is a bit like telepathy. It can only detect the strongest emotion of the other party.
Xiao En pondered for a moment and said slowly: "What are your plans?"
Loris looked very alert and said in a serious voice: "So, you have agreed to cooperate?"
>Xiao En did not answer directly, but said: "I want to know the truth."
Loris stared deeply at Xiao En in front of her, thought for a moment and then said: "Okay. As long as we can cooperate That's fine."
Before the other party spoke, Xiao En said decisively: "Since it is cooperation, should our first step be to share information?"
The girl in front of her seemed to think that Xiao En was also a human from another world, but she didn't know that he came from a more distant earth, and she was even more confused about everything here. Xiao En got some clues from the butcher's words, and he also made some guesses. He knew that most of the souls from other worlds had traveled from other worlds with supernatural powers.
The arrival of these alien souls may be related to the legendary ‘old days’.
Loris looked solemn and said slowly: "What do you want to know?"
Xiao En said softly: "Tell me everything you know, and I will tell you everything I know. Tell you."
Loris pondered for a moment and agreed readily.
"This is definitely not what they said, and after I die, I should enter the kingdom of my Lord."
"I shouldn't be reincarnated in this hellish place."
"And they also They used some kind of ritual spell to tamper with my memory, trying to make me believe everything they said."
Many of Lolis' words touched Xiao En's knowledge blind spots, and he could only run his brain very quickly. , rely on your own imagination to guess.
But looking at the other party's casual look, these seem to be common common sense in other worlds.
First, Lolis was resurrected after death like him. Second, the word "my lord" in Lolis's mouth is very intriguing. It seems that it is not used to describe mortals, but my lord's country. Xiao En guessed that it is the kingdom of gods. .
After a believer dies, his soul enters the kingdom of gods. Is the other party a devout believer in some otherworldly god?
Tampering with memory? Is it a soul echo? She doesn't believe everything here?
"Then what do you think this place is?" Xiao En tried to guide the other party's words.
Loris glanced at him and said slowly: "The lair of a certain demigod lich!"
"This place is full of necromancers, undead monarchs, weird living dead and serving lower corpse demons. Only the powerful demigod lich can command so many undead souls!"
Corpse demons?
Those maids who deliver food?
It is completely different from the information obtained from the butcher.
Xiao En said solemnly: "So, do you think they have been deceiving us?"
Lolis pondered: "That's not true. The situation here is indeed very strange. My prayers have never received any response from my Lord."
"The ancient indescribable things they talk about are a bit like ancient times. Evil thing."
"This place has indeed been eroded."
The other party's words touched Xiao En's blind spots in knowledge, and he could only rely on guesswork to analyze.
But before he spoke, Lolis frowned and said: "Since it is an exchange of information, naturally I can't be the only one to say it."
Xiao En pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I woke up for a short time."
"I don't understand everything here."
Hearing Xiao En's words, Loli Si's face changed, and she seemed a little angry. These words were obviously perfunctory to her, but before she turned her back, Xiao En said in a deep voice: "When I just woke up, my consciousness was not fully awake at that time. I think A very strange existence appeared."
Loris heard this and said: "What did you see?"
Xiao En said solemnly: "A floating skull with an eyebrow. A ruby.”
Lolis gasped when she heard this and murmured: "It is indeed a demigod lich!"
