Huang Jie rubbed his neck and woke up.
He found himself lying in a deep underground space,
Judging from the constant sound of wind licking his skin and the slight sound of dripping water, he was probably some distance away from the ground.
After adapting to the slightly light environment for a while, he began to pay attention to himself.
The first thing he saw was that all kinds of small, invisible insects that lived underground were crawling up his legs and pants. Judging from the fact that they had not climbed onto his chest, he should have been brought to this place for no more than an hour.
The surrounding soil is mixed with broken stones, and the fresh fractures of the stones mean that this space must have been excavated recently.
More information cannot be seen further due to the dark space and can only be given up.
After seeing that he could not get more for the time being, Huang Jie began to recall,
He only remembered that he was the last one in the team, and when he was about to go back with the closing team, his vision went dark, and when he woke up, he was here.
One moment, he was slightly relaxed, preparing to go to the city to have a good rest after changing his job. The next moment, he was nestled in this small space that smelled of mud and dampness. Such a huge contrast suddenly made him It's still difficult to adapt mentally.
"you're awake?"
A magnetic male voice sounded from behind him. Huang Jie turned over in horror and found that although he could still move his body, he had lost all ability to mobilize spiritual energy. At this moment, he could not even use the smallest spiritual energy. Can't do any movement.
A middle-aged man with a relatively kind face sat cross-legged and looked at himself who had just woken up, as if he were watching a small insect that had fallen into his own spider web struggling ineffectively.
He even showed some kindness and pushed a plate with food over and said: "Eat some, you don't have spiritual power now, you can't do it without eating."
After the initial panic, Huang Jie gradually calmed down.
Although the demon didn't attack him at first, he knew that it was all just a disguise.
Even the image of the kind-hearted middle-aged man in front of him was fake. This was instilled in him when he first participated in the siege.
"Monsters are all things with pus on their heads, sores on their feet, and filthy black blood all over their bodies. Don't be deceived by his hypocritical appearance." Huang Jie thought silently while pushing to himself. The plate that came over shook his head and watched the other party's upcoming trial with vigilance.
The demon was not surprised to see Huang Jie not taking the plate.
When he saw that the other party did not annoy him by shouting like the few he had caught before, but huddled silently in the corner, he couldn't help but start to re-evaluate this person in his heart.
He tilted his head and saw that he was still very hostile to him and could not speak at all, so he started talking to himself.
"If I said that as long as you are willing to cooperate, I will let you out, I believe you would not believe it."
Seeing that Huang Jie continued to remain silent, he continued indifferently: "Then let me tell you, if I am willing to make a bet with you, betting that you can continue to live, do you dare to accept this bet?"
Huang Jie squeezed himself tighter. Monsters are masters of deceiving people. He thought that he must not be fooled by him.
Seeing Huang Jie shrinking even tighter, the demon smiled and said,
He read his distrustful attitude from his body language, but he still didn't care.
He continued to talk to himself: "I am in a good mood today, so I am willing to make a bet with you. Don't refuse in a hurry. Listen to what I say first."
"I will ask you three questions every day. As long as you answer them honestly, I will not kill you."
"Of course I won't let you go. Instead, I will make you unconscious and stay here. But don't worry, I will keep you alive."
"I will ask you three more questions the next day, and as long as you answer them honestly, I will continue to let you live."
"Until one day, you can't answer the questions I asked, or give me wrong information, then I will take your life, and I promise to make you taste the pain before taking your life. taste."
At this point, the demon stopped. He looked at the other person's shoulders opening slightly with a teasing look in his eyes, knowing that the other person had begun to feel a little moved.
After all, who would want to die if they could live?
He continued in a very casual tone: "You can also make a bet. If you persist long enough and I don't kill you, then you may be rescued by your people."
Then his tone turned cold and said: "You can also choose not to bet with me, then I will torture you without any problem at all until you reveal all the information you know."
"You should know that I really like torturing people." He emphasized at the end.
As the demon spoke, he stared at any slight change in Huang Jie. He felt that the more he spoke, the more his breathing rhythmically changed with the rhythm of his speaking tone.
He knew that he had succeeded, and that the other party would not be willing to risk his own life and take this gamble with him.
You must know that before, the other party still had a certain death mentality, but in this short time of burning incense, I had torn a hole in his certain death mentality.
He waited patiently for a long time, and the air seemed to begin to condense.
"How can I believe that after I answer your question, you will choose to keep your promise and let me live another day?" Huang Jie finally spoke to break the silence.
"The question really is a question of life and death."
"Actually, when you asked this question, you had already lost the qualification to negotiate." The demon smiled coldly in his heart.
He spread his hands and said: "I can't guarantee it. You can only choose to believe me. Believe that I am willing to let you live for one more day instead of killing you right away."
"Then what if you continue to torture me after I answer the question?" Huang Jie asked a second question.
"Silly question." The demon's face turned cold, and he frowned and replied, "It's still the same answer. You can only choose to believe me."
Seeing that the demon was starting to get impatient,
Huang Jie fell silent again. His face alternated between clear and dark, and he was clearly fighting a fierce battle.
The demon was not in a hurry. He allowed Huang Jie to huddle in the corner and fight fiercely while he began to rummage through the storage bags one by one.
Every newly captured storage bag contains more or less something useful to him.
Although most of the contents in the storage bags were completely useless to him, in such a harsh environment, he still patiently looked through each storage bag, not missing any opportunity to improve himself.
"This piece is pretty good." From a yellow storage bag, the demon took out a dark knife and swallowed it.
Huang Jie's eyes jumped as he watched. This storage bag belonged to him. He didn't expect that a third-level spiritual tool for sneak attacks that he spent 300 spiritual stones on bought went into the demon's belly like food.
You must know that when this spiritual tool reaches the third level, the materials used are generally not too ordinary. I am afraid that ordinary monsters cannot do it just by biting with teeth.
Huang Jie watched him swallow a few more things at will. Finally he couldn't bear the visual impact and terrifying pressure. In addition, the desire to survive finally overwhelmed his reason. He growled as if he had had enough. : "Okay, I'll make a bet with you."
The demon raised his head and hung the storage bag back on his waist. He would not give Huang Jie any chance to make a comeback.
He snapped his fingers and said:
"very good",
He put his face close to the frightened and a bit ferocious Huang Jie's face, showing an evil smile.
"Then let's ask the first question."
