Infinite Doomsday Escape

Chapter 113 Conversation
Observing these silk threads closely for the first time, Lan Xiaye found that they were very similar to the ordinary transparent silk threads that connect bead curtains together.

These silk threads danced in Qiangwei's hands like living things. Qiangwei's fingers were twitching nimbly. With a slight movement of her slender white fingers, these transparent silk threads shot out from her fingers in an instant, wrapping around the straw on the swamp.

The silk thread is endlessly extended, and the ten fingers of Qiangwei are all tied with the head of the silk thread. When each thread is extended, it will split into other silk threads.

These threads easily entangled the straws and pulled them out.

The hero Qiangwei snorted, waiting for Lan Xiaye's praise.

Lan Xiaye picked up the straw and walked back, leaving behind Qiangwei stomping her feet angrily, Lan Xiaye turned her head in doubt and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing!" Qiangwei hugged the remaining straw bitterly, and followed Lan Xiaye's pace.

Seeing that the two of them were unscathed and brought back so many straws, the old man trembled in shock, and he stretched out his hand to catch the straws with a smile, "Thank you two little friends today."

"Wait." Lan Xiaye avoided the old man's arm and said with a smile, "Before that, I still have a few questions to ask you."

"Hehe..." The old man smiled nonchalantly, scolding the little fox Lan Xiaye in his heart.

"You ask. Human beings are supposed to help each other." He used Lan Xiaye's words to stop her.

Lan Xiaye didn't feel embarrassed at all, she opened her mouth and asked a lot of questions.

"What's the matter with this rain, why is it so corrosive, why are mountains corroded, but these straws can resist corrosion?"

"What do you mean by newcomers? Haven't you been here since the beginning?"

"Has it always been this dark here? It's been so long, and the sky doesn't feel like it's going to be bright."

"Aside from the black rain, what dangers are there?"

elder:"……"

His expression gradually became numb, "Slow down, old man, I can't keep up."

Lan Xiaye had no choice but to ask again, and the old man answered in turn.

"The black rain falls twice a day, and the rain is very dense. At this time, just hide. I don't know why straw can resist corrosion."

"Of course we didn't stay here from the beginning, if I was born in this ghost place, I wouldn't be alive now."

The old man recalled, "It was a very ordinary day. The people in the village and I were planting rice seedlings in the field. Suddenly, it was dark and we couldn't see any sunlight. We ran home in a hurry, but we couldn't find it. on the way home."

"It's always been night here, and I haven't seen daylight for a long time..." The old man sighed, and answered Lan Xiaye's last question, "I haven't seen any other dangers yet."

Lan Xiaye listened thoughtfully to the old man's words, and finally asked, "How long have you been here?"

The old man was stunned, since he came to this eternal night, he had already lost the concept of time.

"About a month?" he said uncertainly.

"What have you been eating this month?"

The old man's expression darkened suddenly, "Little baby, I've already answered so many of your questions, so it's time to give me the straw."

Seeing that the old man refused to answer, Lan Xiaye could only pass the straw to the old man. As soon as the old man took the straw, he immediately changed his face and sent the two of them away.

Qiangwei curled her lips, "Who is it?"

The old man said that black rain would fall twice a day on average. In order not to be eroded by the black rain, the two had to start building straw houses now.

After working for a long time, the two of them really didn't have this skill, so they managed to build a kennel for a long time.

Lan Xiaye and Qiangwei looked at the kennel and looked at each other, Qiangwei tentatively said, "How about we go to that old man for help?"

"I have a question that I am very concerned about." Lan Xiaye said.

Qiangwei looked at Lan Xiaye suspiciously, "What?"

"Ordinary people can't live without eating or drinking, and it doesn't look like food can grow here."

Qiangwei listened very seriously, and even followed Lan Xiaye's thinking, "They must be hiding something from us!"

Lan Xiaye nodded, "Yes, just now he interrupted me so eagerly to continue asking, why did I ask so many questions at the beginning, and he answered me all, but he was particularly impatient when he asked about food."

Seeing that Lan Xiaye was sure of her guess, Qiangwei was so excited that she propped her chin and pretended to be in thought, "Is it because they are afraid that we will grab food from him?"

"It's very possible." Lan Xiaye didn't deny this guess, because food was too scarce, so she didn't want them to know about the food, so as to prevent them from competing with them.

"Is there another possibility?" Lan Xiaye's eyes were extraordinarily deep, and the luminous crystal shone on her gentle face, and the reflection of light made her eyes extremely deep and charming.

Qiangwei was dumbfounded, and asked, "What's possible?"

Lan Xiaye said: "He lied to us from the beginning to the end."

Qiangwei's heart was shocked by Lan Xiaye's words, as if struck by a thunderbolt, she froze in place.

"How...how is it possible." Qiangwei refuted Lan Xiaye in confusion, "How could an NPC lie to you?"

Lan Xiaye looked over in surprise, hadn't this weird girl experienced too many missions?How can you say such simple words.

"Why do you all think they are NPCs?" Lan Xiaye was very confused, "These are real worlds, and these people are also real people. Humans are the most cunning animals in the world. What you want, to deceive people, and lure you to walk in the direction they want."

The attitude of the taskers is superior, they don't treat these aborigines as equals, but only as NPCs who provide clues, this idea really confuses Lan Xiaye.

Pride and contempt will make people arrogant, and arrogance will blind people's eyes and make people make wrong choices.

Lan Xiaye never underestimates anyone, because people are the most cunning. In the movie "Rashomon", everyone will use words to guide people to think in the wrong direction in order to protect their own vested interests.

Just like Qiangwei, even if she is extraordinarily harmless now, and even a little close to him, Lan Xiaye will not relax his vigilance towards her because of this.

Qiangwei was extremely ashamed by Lan Xiaye's words. No one had ever said these words to her, so she learned from other taskers and retained her arrogance and condescension to ordinary people.

"I know I was wrong..." She whispered, after reflecting on her mistakes, Qiangwei said angrily: "He was lying to us just now, and even took our straw! We should ask him to give it back to us!"

Lan Xiaye spread his hands helplessly: "He will probably say that we are talking nonsense and bullying the elderly."
