Chapter 867 Rabbit Aotian
About ten minutes later, the female rabbit star asked the elders for their opinions and "invited" the four people from the Hell Front into the village.
Brother Jue and the others calmly left the two crosses at the entrance of the village and followed the villagers into the gorge.
Although it was said to be "please", the hostility of the villagers towards the players was obviously still there. They neither put down their weapons nor let down their guard.
Of course, this is also human (rabbit) nature. For these people (rabbits) who live in the end of the world and are accustomed to lies, violence, and death, trusting others... may very well mean death without a burial place.
"Brother Jue, according to the hexagram you calculated before, there should be at least one super powerful NPC in this village..." While walking in the village, Xiaotan quietly turned to Feng Bujue and said, "You said you would Could it be that elder?"
"Maybe." Feng Bujue also whispered back, "Whether it is... you have to meet him to know."
"Oh..." Xiao Tan suddenly heard something again, and said, "By the way! Is there such a possibility..." He asked softly, "For example... there is actually no particularly strong guy in this village. It’s just that the location of the village is right between us and the destination?”
"No." Brother Jue denied Xiaotan's speculation, "This is exactly the destination I calculated." He paused for half a second and added, "Because the terrain of this village is different from what I saw before. The 'hexagrams' are completely consistent."
"Huh?" Xiao Tan was stunned for a moment after hearing this, "You mean you were with Kakalu..." When the words came to his lips, he heard the scene when Feng Bujue was "telling fortunes", "Oh... at that time …”
"That's right." Feng Bujue continued, "Although you can also calculate the 'direction' information by throwing sand and other methods, but if you want to get more accurate information, it is best to use something more complicated." He In a calm tone, he began to tell some extremely horrific facts and experiences, "And corpses are a good choice. Whether it's fur, muscle texture, blood flow, or internal organs... they can all present a variety of unique and distinctive features. The pattern is far richer than what can be obtained by drawing a bamboo stick, throwing a few coins, or writing a word."
"So..." Xiao Ling also heard their conversation. At this time, she interrupted, "...Three possibilities?"
This sentence may sound confusing to others, but Brother Jue still understands its meaning.
"Yeah." Feng Bujue nodded in agreement, and then explained to Xiaotan, "The calculation results of [The Materials Are Like God] should be correct, so there is a third possibility... First, this There is a boss-level NPC living in the village; secondly, the Corpse Sword Division 2 is here; thirdly... there is some kind of secret hidden in this village, and this secret points to a very powerful existence."
"Oh..." Xiao Tan responded thoughtfully.
While talking. The four of them had also reached the entrance of the "elder's" house.
According to the female rabbit star, this elder "Bei Bei'an" is the leader of this village, equivalent to the "village chief". But judging from the actual situation at hand... the life of this village chief seems to be a bit shabby. His house (the entrance to the cave) is even more dilapidated than the homes of ordinary villagers nearby. If it weren't for the villagers leading the way, no one would have thought of it. This is the village chief's residence.
"Go in yourselves, the elder said he wants to see you alone."
When the NPC leading the way said this, Feng Bujue immediately winked at his teammates, telling them to be more vigilant.
And Ruoyu, Xiaoling and Xiaotan naturally understood what Brother Jue meant.
It looked like... what awaited them. Maybe not necessarily an "elder".
"Okay, thank you for leading the way." Feng Bujue turned around and said to the NPC with a half-smiling expression, and then. He took the lead and pushed open the door made of wood and scrap metal, and walked into the cave.
A few seconds later, other members of the Hell Front also filed in.
Then……
boom--
Before they could get far, the door behind them was closed by the rabbits outside.
Then... there was another muffled "bang" sound. It sounded like... something heavy had been left outside the door.
"Hey...what do you mean?" Xiaotan's fright level was already high at that moment, and his first reaction was to reach into his bag and fumble for the lighting equipment.
"It means... you have also been fooled..." The next second, in the darkness ahead. Then a low voice came.
"Who? Who is it?" Xiao Tan hurriedly followed the sound and asked loudly.
"Ha..." Feng Bujue seemed calm. He took out the [Composite Anti-gravity Ejector] from his bag and said to the source of the sound with a smile, "Let me guess... they asked you to meet here. 'Elder'?"
Before he finished speaking, the search light on the front of the catapult was already on, and the scene in the cave was clearly presented before the players' eyes.
Obviously, the cave they are in is not a "residence" at all; there is no furniture, no lighting facilities, and no elders... What is here is just solid walls and a man wearing a coarse cloak sitting in the corner. Rabbit people.
"Oh?" When the rabbit man saw clearly what Brother Jue and the others looked like, a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes, but he regained his composure almost instantly and continued, "You are... aliens, right? ?”
"Earthlings." Feng Bujue replied.
"I see..." The rabbit man responded calmly and did not ask any more questions.
"Brother Rabbit... what is going on with you?" Xiao Ling also took out the lighting equipment at this time and said to the rabbit.
"What's the situation..." The rabbit star thought for a few seconds and then said in deep thought, "About... five days ago, I accidentally discovered this remote village. At that time, my car was almost out of fuel, so I... I came into the village and wanted to exchange my goods with them for some food and fuel. After some negotiation, they asked me to come here to meet the 'elder'..." He shrugged, "You will do the rest. You should have guessed... They robbed all my belongings, and I was imprisoned here to die."
"Sigh... Brother, you are really miserable." Hearing this, Xiao Tan shook his head and sighed, "The people in this village are really too much."
"When we opened the door just now..." At this time, Ruoyu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke to the rabbit star, "Why don't you run out?"
"Ha...does it make sense?" The other party smiled bitterly. "I'm not afraid of your jokes either... I, 'Tu Aotian', can be considered a boxing master after all. Five days ago, I... was completely confident that I could escape the siege of those villagers, otherwise I wouldn't have entered rashly. This is a strange village." He shook his head, "But now...I am so hungry that I have no strength at all. Even raising my voice to talk to you is difficult...In this situation, let alone rushing out. Even if they open the door for me to leave, I can't leave."
"Xiao Tan." When Feng Bujue heard this, he turned around and called Xiao Tan without saying a word.
"Yes." Wang Tanzhi responded quickly.
Brother Jue looked at Xiaotan, snapped his fingers, pointed his index finger at Tu Aotian and said, "Feed him."
"Of course." Xiao Tan replied.
I don't know why these two guys started talking to each other in classical Chinese...but this didn't affect their actions.
Not long after. Xiaotan strode to Tu Aotian and handed over a pack of snacks and a bottle of water.
Tu Aotian, who was originally lifeless, suddenly brightened up. He was not polite to them. He took the water bottle and drank it. After half the bottle was down, he suddenly stopped and said with a rather regretful expression. He looked deeply at the remaining half bottle with a nostalgic look... Then he tore open the snack package and started eating, stuffing food into his mouth.
The four players just looked at him. I waited for three full minutes to watch him finish eating and drinking the food.
Three minutes later, 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 this, Tu Aotian's expression changed suddenly: "You..." His surprise lasted for a few seconds, and then turned into a smile. "Haha...hahahaha..." He laughed a few times and stood up. "When did you start doubting me?" He paused. "Is it because...my reaction to 'you are aliens' was too bland?"
"No, there is nothing wrong with that part of the performance." Feng Bujue also stood up and replied with a smile, "Your flaws... are revealed from other aspects."
"Oh?" Tu Aotian looked suspicious and signaled Brother Jue to continue.
"First of all...it's the light." Feng Bujue said, raising the catapult in his hand and waving it, "When we came in, the cave was almost completely dark. I have been in this environment for several days. For humans (rabbits) in the sky, it should take a long time for you to adapt after being exposed to light. And you...after I turned on the strong light search light, you could quickly look towards us as if nothing had happened. This shows that... you entered this cave not long ago, but... you then said that you had been imprisoned for five days. "
"Hmph... Thank you for noticing and thinking of that aspect." Tu Aotian snorted coldly, "But... just based on this, it can't be called a flaw, right?" He actually discussed it with Brother Jue with great interest. got up.
"That's right." Feng Bujue replied, "I have also thought about it...could it be because some light leaked in when we entered the cave, allowing you to adapt to the brightness in advance. Or maybe you are gifted, Your eyesight is amazing." He mused, "Going deeper...the physiological structure of you Tutu people is different from that of us people on Earth. Maybe you are a race that can adapt to changes in light instantly." He changed the subject, "Therefore, my suspicion of you obviously has other basis..."
"Please tell me." Tu Aotian crossed his arms, looked at Brother Brother, and continued in a deep voice.
"If the story you told before about being imprisoned after entering the village is true, then the problem arises..." Feng Bujue continued, "Since you are so hungry now, even if others open the door to let you escape, you There is no way to escape, so why don't the villagers just come in and kill you? It's obviously very unreasonable to trick us here while you are still alive. As long as you shout in the cave, they will Wouldn’t his plan be revealed?”
"They didn't come to kill me... maybe because they were afraid that I would counterattack when I was about to die?" Tu Aotian replied, "Waiting for me to starve to death before coming in to collect the body is the safest and surest way, isn't it?"
"Then when they came to collect the corpse, weren't they afraid that you were lying on the ground pretending to be dead?" Feng Bujue asked again.
"This..." Tu Aotian was speechless for a moment.
"Given the environment of this cave, if you want to confirm whether the person trapped in the cave is dead or alive, you must go in with lighting equipment to confirm." Feng Bujue continued, "And you don't wear any handcuffs or shackles or other restraints. In other words... the risk of coming in to 'collect your body' and coming in to 'kill you' is no different; if you are really a prisoner, then they have no reason to let you wait until we come alive." He finally said in a concluding tone, "So... the conclusion is that the villagers knew from the beginning that you would not give us any warning before all of us were locked in this cave. Even if you have good acting skills and don't forget to add the rhetoric of 'even raising my voice to talk to you' when making up the story, it can't cover up this obvious flaw."
"Hehe..." Tu Aotian laughed, "You are right, I should have someone tie me up, but unfortunately... time is limited..."
"It's useless." Feng Bujue interrupted, "Whether it is 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 let someone tie you up, it would be superfluous. "
"Hmm..." Tu Aotian nodded, as if he was convinced, but after thinking for a few seconds, he added, "Anything else?"
"Indeed, there is one more thing." Feng Bujue said, as if he remembered something in the past, and showed a rather strange smile, "I think... you have never been hungry for five days, nor have you seen how people who have been hungry for more than five days eat, right?"
"This..." Tu Aotian's expression changed slightly, "Now that you mention it... I really haven't seen it."
"I have also seen the stomachs of you Rabbit Star people (he has indeed "seen" this), at least in my opinion, it is no different from that of us Earthlings." Feng Bujue said, "A few years ago, for some reasons (writing), I used myself as experimental material to study the physiological state of prisoners..."
"I can testify to this... He also asked me, who had not yet graduated from the Medical College, to help..." Xiao Tan followed up at the right time.
Feng Bujue smiled at Xiao Tan and continued, "As for the 'hunger experiment', I am quite impressed... The stomach, as an organ, will swell or shrink depending on the situation. If you don't eat for a long time, it will shrink, and when you go to eat again, your stomach will be filled up quickly." He paused and continued, "Many people have misunderstandings about the concept of 'hunger', thinking that people who have not eaten for a long time will wolf down the food they see... But this is actually a big mistake. To give you the most typical example... Some people will hold back on eating for a few meals, and then challenge some big eater challenge of 'eating within a certain period of time without paying', but they don't know that in this state they will get full very quickly." He tilted his head and looked at Tu Aotian, "So... it is not meaningless for me to ask my companions to give you food , not out of sympathy... but a test. Frankly speaking, based on the way you ate just now, I can also conclude that you are lying. "
Tu Aotian was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Well... I admire you." He really wanted to applaud Brother Jue, but the rabbit applauded silently, "It seems that you are indeed not ordinary people. It is reasonable that you can kill Kakalu."
"Oh?" Feng Bujue's eyes moved slightly, "We have never told you... that the motorcycle was stolen from 'Kakalu'."
That's right, they only said "slave traders"...
"Humph..." Tu Aotian sneered, "I will explain this to you later, but before that..." He said, untied the coarse cloth cloak draped over his shoulders, "I... want to test your skills again..." (To be continued..)
