Chapter 27 The source of the curse?


Chapter 27 The source of the curse?

"Then the most terrifying thing is"

Zhugefu finally concluded: "All cursed people will eventually suffer from 'death addiction' disease, which is inevitable."

"That's for sure." Xie Shen nodded in agreement: "After all, people will always die, so no matter how long a person lives, as long as he is infected with the curse, he will always experience death in the end The pleasure of time, and then gradually became addicted.”

“Alas”

in the room.

Zhuge Fu suddenly sighed and said with a hint of loneliness: "So, we underground people will be destroyed sooner or later."

"And after humans discovered the resurrection technique, "I have to say, this is really ironic." At this point, Zhuge Fu suddenly stood up from his chair and invited Xie Shen: "Are you interested in watching it?" Next, my research on the curse? In order to save myself, I have thought of many ways."

"Let's forget it." Xie Shen frowned and said, "You have already said the curse so harshly. Then of course I want to return to the surface as soon as possible. I wonder if I can trouble you to help guide me?”

Zhugefu seemed to have expected Xie Shen to make this request.

He raised his left hand and glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist: "It's about two o'clock in the afternoon, and it will take about 4 to 5 hours to go from my village to the surface. That is to say , if you go back at this time, it will get dark almost as soon as you reach the surface."

Xie Shen understood what Zhuge Fu meant: "So if I want to leave, it is best in the early morning of tomorrow. Two or three o'clock?"

"Yes."

Zhugefu invited again: "So, I have nothing to do at this time, so why don't you come with me to the laboratory? Go for a spin.”

In order to dispel Xie Shen's doubts, after making the invitation, he quickly added: "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I just want to trouble you with something."

"Then I won't care about you when the time comes. Whether you agree or not, I will personally take you to the surface when three o'clock in the morning comes."

"Is this okay?"

Since Zhuge Fu has already said this. In addition, Xie Shen was really curious about what the other party was researching underground.

So after a brief hesitation, Xie Shen also stood up from the chair: "Okay, let me go and see it with you!"

"Okay!"

Seeing Xie Shen's agreement, Zhuge Fu seemed impatient: "Let's go!"

After saying that, he took the lead and left the room.

On the way, he chattered with Xie Shen while walking: "Don't worry, although there is a curse underground, we will not be infected immediately as long as we don't stay for too long."

This underground village Not too big.

Xie Shen only walked a few steps and arrived at the stone house where Zhuge Fu lived.

In the room, you can see a dazzling array of various instruments and equipment.

There are things Xie Shen can recognize at a glance: such as flasks, microscopes, alcohol lamps, etc.

But there are also many complex instruments that Xie Shen cannot even name.

Not only that.

The walls of this stone house are also covered with sound-absorbing sponges, which are actually used to isolate sounds.

The floor is covered with marble tiles. In order to prevent moisture, a layer of wax oil has even been specially applied in the gaps.

"How is it, not bad?" Zhugefu was obviously very satisfied with his laboratory.

The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, revealing a look of pride and pride.

——The curse suffered by the underground people will only affect their physical body, and the pleasure and pain caused by the spirit will not be reversed.

Therefore, Zhuge Fu can enjoy the positive feedback brought by the "pride" emotion.

In the house.

Looking at the painting style and scenery that were completely different from the underground villages, Xie Shen sighed sincerely: "It's really awesome! It's not easy to set up such a laboratory in this place!"

"I definitely can't do it alone." Zhugefu explained: "Other people in the village, and even the underground people in nearby villages, have all contributed to some extent and helped." "After all, the purpose of building my laboratory is to study how to remove the curse, and to find the source of the curse."

"So helping me build this laboratory is equivalent to saving ourselves."

Zhugefu introduced: "Then most of the equipment in the laboratory were found by villagers who took the risk to go to the city ruins."

"There are also a small number of equipment that I need from the people on the space station."

"Okay, okay." Xie Shen walked back and forth in the laboratory.

He suddenly looked puzzled and said: "By the way, I see there are lights in your laboratory, so where does the electricity come from?"

"Rely on hydropower." Zhugefu replied: "Not far from our village, there is an underground river."

"Then the water in the upper reaches of the underground river falls from the top of the earth. Plus our village is at least 500 meters away from the surface. With a depth of several meters, the gravitational potential energy provided by the water flow is very large, which is more than enough for my laboratory.”

“Awesome!” Xie Shen couldn’t bear the thought of utilizing the natural environment underground. Zhu let out another sigh of praise.

“No more nonsense.”

In the laboratory.

Zhugefu walked to an instrument that looked like a radar.

While fiddling with the radar instrument, he chatted to Xie Shen: "Although I have been researching for more than a hundred years, I have not been able to find a way to lift the curse. But the infrasonic arrester I developed ’, but he successfully captured the curse in the ground.”

“Capture the curse?” Xie Shen was stunned when he heard this.

Zhugefu didn’t reply, but focused all his attention on the ‘infrasonic arrester’.

He slightly adjusted the position of the instrument.

After turning on the power, he said to Xie Shen mysteriously: "How is it? Do you want to hear what the underground curse is like?"

"No need." Xie Shen suppressed his curiosity and looked cautious. Said: "If you accidentally catch the curse, you will be in trouble."

"What are you afraid of!"

Unexpectedly, Zhugefu actually found the curse without Xie Shen's consent. , and turned on the switch of the 'infrasonic arrester' without authorization.

"Woo"

"嗼"

At this moment, a strange whisper that is difficult to describe in words was transmitted from the 'infrasonic arrester' into Xie Shen's mind.

The whispers sound scary, scary, and disgusting.

Affected by this voice, Xie Shen subconsciously put his hand on his forehead.

He endured the discomfort and said angrily to Zhuge Fu: "Are you trying to experiment on me??"

Seeing Xie Shen's strange behavior, Zhugefu's eyes flashed with enthusiasm.

He said with a hint of apology: "I'm sorry, you are the only normal person who has appeared underground in these years."

"I really have no choice."

As he spoke, Zhugefu suddenly showed a crazy expression, uncharacteristically.

He seemed to be muttering to himself: "I knew: the infrasound waves in the ground are the source of the curse. What I guessed before was absolutely correct! In this way."

In the laboratory.

Before Zhuge Fu could finish speaking, Xie Shen had disappeared from the spot like lightning.

‘Bang’!

Next second.

With a violent impact, Zhuge Fu flew backwards instantly.

——He received a kick from Xie Shen and hit the 'infrasonic arrester' hard.

In the blink of an eye, the laboratory became a mess.
