About ten minutes later, the female rabbit alien finished asking for the opinion of the "elder" and "invited" the four players from Underworld Frontline into the village.
Brother Jue and the others also left the two scooters at the entrance of the village and followed the villagers into the gorge.
Although they said "invite", the hostility of the villagers toward the players was obviously still there. They did not put down the weapons in their hands, nor did they let down the guard in their hearts.
Of course, this was normal for humans (rabbits). For these people (rabbits) who lived in the apocalypse and were accustomed to lies, violence, and death, trusting others … was likely to mean dying without a burial place.
"Brother Jue, according to your previous divination, there should be at least one super powerful NPC in this village …" While walking in the village, Xiao Tan lowered his voice and said to Feng Bujue, "Do you think it's the elder?"
"Maybe," Feng Bujue also whispered back, "Whether it is or not … we have to meet him to know."
"Oh …" Xiao Tan suddenly thought of something and said, "Right! Is there such a possibility … "He asked softly," For example … there is actually no particularly strong guy in this village, but the location of the village is just between us and the destination? "
"No." Brother Jue denied Xiao Tan's speculation. "This is the destination I calculated." He paused for half a second and added, "Because the terrain of this village is exactly the same as the 'divination' I saw before."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was stunned. "You mean you were on Kaka Lu …" When the words came to his mouth, he couldn't help but think of the scene when Feng Bujue "divined". "Oh … at that time …"
"Yes." Feng Bujue continued, "Although it is possible to calculate the 'direction' by throwing sand, if you want to get more accurate information, it is better to use something more complicated." He began to talk about some extremely terrifying facts and experiences in a calm tone. "And corpses are a good choice. Regardless of whether it was fur, muscle texture, blood flow, or internal organs … all of them could present various unique and distinct patterns. This is much richer than the divination that can be obtained by drawing a bamboo stick, throwing a few copper coins, or writing a few words. "
"If that's the case …" Xiao Ling, who had also overheard their conversation, interrupted. "… There are three possibilities?"
This sentence might sound confusing to others, but Brother Jue understood the meaning behind it.
"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded in agreement. Then he explained to Xiao Tan, "The prediction of Divine Foresight should be correct, so there are three possibilities. One, there is a boss-level NPC living in this village. Two, the second unit of Zombie Blade is here. Three … there is some kind of secret hidden in this village, and this secret points to an extremely powerful presence."
"Oh …" Xiao Tan answered as if he was thinking about something.
As they spoke, the four of them had already reached the entrance of the cave of the 'elder''s' house.
According to the female rabbit, this' Beer Beer An 'elder was the leader of this village, equivalent to the' village elder '. But from the actual situation before them … the life of this village elder seemed to be a bit shabby. His house (the entrance of the cave) was even more dilapidated than the houses of the normal villagers. If not for the villagers leading the way, no one would have thought this was the home of the village elder.
"You guys go in yourselves, the elder said he wants to see you alone."
When the NPC leading the way said that, Feng Bujue immediately signaled his teammates with his eyes, telling them to be on alert.
Ruo Yu, Xiao Ling, and Xiao Tan naturally understood what Brother Jue meant.
It looked like … it might not be an 'elder' that was waiting for them.
"Okay, thank you for leading the way." Feng Bujue turned back and said to the NPC with a half-smile. Then he led the group to push open the door that was made from wood and old metal and walked into the cave.
Several seconds later, the other members of Underworld Frontline followed suit.
Then …
Bang!
Before they could get far, the door behind them was slammed shut by the rabbits outside.
Following that … there was another muffled bang. It sounded like … something heavy had fallen outside the door.
"Hey … what is the meaning of this?" Xiao Tan's Terror Points shot up immediately. His first reaction was to reach into his inventory to search for the light source.
"It means … you guys have been tricked as well …" The next second, in the darkness before them, a low voice came.
"Who is it? Who is it? "Xiao Tan turned to the source of the voice and asked loudly.
"Hah …" Feng Bujue was calm. He took out the Compound Anti-Gravity Gun from his inventory and smiled at the source of the voice. "Let me guess … they asked you to come here to meet the 'elder' as well?"
Before he finished, the light at the front of the gun lit up, and the scene inside the cave appeared before the players' eyes.
Obviously, the cave they were in was not a 'residence' at all. There was no furniture, no lighting, and no elder. There was only a solid wall and a Rabbit-Alien in a coarse cloak sitting in the corner.
"Oh?" When the Rabbit Alien saw Brother Jue's appearance, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. However, he recovered almost instantly and said, "You guys are … aliens, right?"
"Earthlings," Feng Bujue replied.
"I see …" The Rabbit Alien replied calmly and did not ask any more questions.
"Brother Rabbit … what's going on with you?" Xiao Ling also took out a lighting device and asked the Rabbit Alien.
"What's going on with me …" The Rabbit Alien thought for a few seconds and said, "About … five days ago, I accidentally found this remote village. At that time, my car was almost out of fuel, so I came to the village and wanted to use my goods to exchange for some food and fuel. After some negotiation, they let me come here to see the 'elder' … "He shrugged." You should be able to guess what happened next … My things were all taken away by them, and I was locked up here to wait for my death. "
"Sigh … you're really pitiful, brother." Xiao Tan shook his head and sighed. "The people in this village are too much."
"When you opened the door just now …" At this time, Ruo Yu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said to the Rabbit Alien, "Why didn't you run out?"
"Hah … what's the point?" The Rabbit Alien smiled bitterly. "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me … I, 'Rabbit Proud Sky', am a fighter. Five days ago … I was fully confident that I could escape from the siege of those villagers, otherwise I wouldn't have rashly entered this strange village. " He shook his head. "But now … I'm so hungry that I don't have any strength left. Even if I raise my voice to talk to you, it's difficult … In this situation, let alone rushing out, even if they opened the door and let me go, I wouldn't be able to leave."
"Xiao Tan," Feng Bujue heard this and turned his head to call Xiao Tan without saying a word.
"Yes." Wang Tanzhi also responded quickly.
Brother Jue looked at Xiao Tan, snapped his fingers, and pointed his index finger at Rabbit Proud Sky. "Hey."
"Understood." Xiao Tan replied.
For some reason, the two of them started to talk in classical Chinese … but it didn't affect their actions.
Not long after, Xiao Tan strode in front of Rabbit Proud Sky and handed him a bag of snacks and a bottle of water.
Rabbit Proud Sky, who was originally lifeless, suddenly had his eyes light up. He didn't hold back and took the bottle of water and gulped it down. After drinking half of the bottle, he suddenly stopped and looked at the remaining half of the bottle with a regretful and nostalgic expression. Then, he tore open the bag of snacks and began to stuff food into his mouth.
The four players just looked at him and waited for a full three minutes to see him finish eating and drinking.
After three minutes, Feng Bujue took a few steps forward and squatted in front of him. He smiled and asked, "So … now, can you take us to see the 'elder'?"
As soon as he said that, Rabbit Aotian's expression changed. "You …" His surprise lasted for a few seconds, then it turned into laughter. "Ha … Hahahaha …" He laughed a few times, then stood up. "When did you start suspecting me?" He paused. "Is it because … my reaction to the 'you are aliens' was too calm?"
"No, about that part of the performance … there was no problem." Feng Bujue also stood up and replied with a smile. "Your flaw … came from other aspects."
"Oh?" Rabbit Proud Sky looked confused and used his eyes to signal Brother Jue to continue.
"First … it was the light." Feng Bujue said and waved the catapult in his hand. "When we came in, the cave was in a state of complete darkness. For a human (rabbit) who has been in this environment for a few days, after coming into contact with light, it should take a long time for them to adapt. And you … after I turned on this strong searchlight, you were able to look at us as if nothing had happened. This shows that … you haven't been in this cave for a long time, but … you said that you had been locked up for five days. "
"Hmph … you can't believe you could detect and associate it with that aspect." Rabbit Proud Sky snorted. "But … this alone can't be considered a flaw, right?" He actually began to discuss with Brother Jue with great interest.
"That's right." Feng Bujue replied. "I also thought about it … Could it be that some light leaked in when we entered the cave, allowing you to adapt to the brightness in advance? Or maybe you are gifted with amazing eyesight. " He continued, "Let's go deeper … the physiological structure of you Rabbit Planet people is different from us Earthlings. Maybe you are a race that can instantly adapt to changes in light." At this point, he changed the topic. "Therefore, my suspicion of you obviously has other grounds …"
"Please go ahead." Rabbit Proud Sky crossed his arms and looked at Brother Jue as he answered in a deep voice.
"If what you said before about being imprisoned after entering the village is true, then the question is …" Feng Bujue continued. "Since you are now so hungry that 'even if someone opens the cave door for you to escape, you can't escape', why didn't the villagers just come in and kill you? Deceiving us here when you are still alive … is obviously very unreasonable. As long as you shouted in the cave, wouldn't their plan be exposed? "
"They didn't come to kill me … Maybe they were afraid that I would counterattack in a state of near-death?" Rabbit Proud Sky replied. "Waiting for me to starve to death before coming in to collect my body is the safest and most secure way, isn't it?"
"Then when they came to collect your body, weren't they afraid that you were lying on the ground pretending to be dead?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"This …" Rabbit Proud Sky was speechless for a while.
"Based on the environment of this cave, if they wanted to confirm whether the person locked in the cave was dead or alive, they would have to come in with lighting equipment." Feng Bujue continued. "And you didn't wear any restraints like handcuffs or shackles on your body. In other words, there was no difference between the risk of coming in to collect your body and coming in to kill you. If you were really a prisoner, there would be no reason for them to keep you alive to wait for us to come in. " He finally concluded, "So … The conclusion is that the villagers knew from the beginning that you wouldn't give us any warning before all of us were locked in this cave. Even if your acting skills were good, and you didn't forget to add that 'even if I raised my voice, it would be difficult to talk to you' when you were making up the story, you still couldn't cover up this obvious flaw. "
"Heh …" Rabbit Proud Sky laughed. "You're right. I should've found someone to tie me up. Unfortunately, time is limited …"
"It's useless." Feng Bujue interrupted. "Whether it's metal products or ropes and belts … the difference between being tied up for five days and being tied up for a few minutes is obvious. If you really got someone to tie you up, it would be unnecessary. "
"Hmm …" Rabbit Proud Sky nodded and seemed to be convinced. But after thinking for a few seconds, he asked, "Is there anything else?"
"There is indeed something else." As Feng Bujue spoke, he seemed to remember something in the past and showed a rather strange smile. "I think … you have never been hungry for five days, and you have never seen someone who has been hungry for more than five days eat, right?"
"This …" Rabbit Proud Sky's expression changed slightly. "Now that you mention it … I really haven't experienced it."
"I have also seen the stomachs of people from the Rabbit Planet (he had indeed 'seen' it). At least in my opinion, it is no different from us earthlings." Feng Bujue said, "A few years ago, for some reason (writing), I used myself as experimental material to study the physiological state of prisoners …"
"I can testify to this … He also asked me, a medical student who had not yet graduated from medical school, to help …" Xiao Tan added in a timely manner.
Feng Bujue smiled at Xiao Tan and then said, "For the part of the 'hunger experiment', I still have a deep impression … The stomach is an organ that will expand or contract according to the situation. If you don't eat for a long time, it will shrink, and when you eat again, the stomach will soon be full. " He paused for a moment and continued, "Many people have misconceptions about the concept of 'hunger'. They think that people who don't eat for a long time should devour everything they see … But this is actually a big mistake. The most typical example is … Some people will hold back for a few meals, and then challenge the big eater who says' no need to pay for the meal '. But they don't know that in this state, they will be full very quickly. " He tilted his head and looked at Rabbit Proud Sky. "So … I asked my companion to give you food not out of sympathy … It was a kind of test. To be honest, based on the way you ate just now, I can tell that you are lying. "
Rabbit Proud Sky heard this and was stunned for a few seconds. Then, a smile appeared on his face. "Well … I admire you." He really wanted to applaud Brother Jue, but Rabbit Proud Sky did not clap. "It seems that you are indeed not ordinary people. It is reasonable that you can kill Kaka Lu."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue's eyes moved slightly. "We have never revealed to you that … the motorcycle was stolen from 'Kaka Lu'."
That's right, they only said 'slave trader' …
"Hmph …" Rabbit Aotian sneered, "I'll explain this to you later, but before that …" As he spoke, he untied the coarse cloak draped over his shoulders, "I … want to test your skills again …"
