It's okay to brag, but at least we have that capital. If we don't even have this capital, the things we brag about cannot be verified. Wouldn't this make us a liar?
Of course, this was just a joke. I didn't think I was so self-righteous as to show off, so I changed the topic and once again asked about the curse in Xu Jinxiu's family.
"Jinxiu, can you tell me where the media about the curse exist in your family?"
The reason why I ask this question is not because I don’t believe it. On the contrary, I am just curious.
If it only existed as a legend, then the curse would be very watery and its credibility would naturally be very limited. Xu Jinxiu did not need to risk his life for an unfounded curse.
With her current assets and the property in her hands, there is absolutely no need to fight for such a small amount of money. It cannot be said that it is not worth it, it is completely unreasonable!
Although I didn't say it clearly, Xu Jinxiu was so smart that he immediately heard the meaning in my words.
After she pondered for a moment, she looked up at me with firm eyes.
"Chen Ping, I am actually very sorry about this matter. Because of my own problems, I dragged you into a vicious cycle..."
I waved my hand to interrupt her further words.
"If you're sorry, don't tell me. If you really treat me as a friend, there will be no need to say sorry or not between us."
I grinned. In a sense, our relationship is both friends and mutually beneficial. Mutual encouragement is indispensable.
After hearing what I said, Xu Jinxiu's next move was completely beyond my expectations. She actually took off her top completely!
Her fragrant shoulders, as white as jade and as delicate as jade, were exposed in front of me, but there was a very weird birthmark on her shoulder. At first glance, this birthmark looked like a tattoo of a foreign individual art style.
But when I took a closer look, I vaguely felt something was wrong, because this was not a birthmark at all, let alone a tattoo, but a strange symbol that actually grew in the body!
In addition, I can't forget the scene in front of me for a long time. I can even say that this is really a scene that I will never forget!
Under the insufficient light inside, the skin exposed by Xu Jinxiu, who had half taken off her clothes, was as white as if it was glowing. The strange tattoo revealed a mysterious beauty against the white skin.
The surrounding environment is not only insufficiently lit, but also seems a bit eerie, but now there is an indescribable feeling of ambiguity.
When I calmed down again, Xu Jinxiu had already tidied up her clothes. She looked at me with a serious expression.
"Chen Ping, you should be able to understand now why I want to find you, because the only person I can trust is you, and the only person I can trust and rely on is you."
Hearing this, I frowned slightly and then smiled.
"Don't dare, you put my position too high. I'm not as good as you think, but as a friend, I can confidently say that your vision is not wrong!"
I am not confident enough to say how outstanding I am in such an industry!
Of course, this industry is not as simple as it seems to outsiders. The moral and sinister nature of it is beyond comparison with conventional traditional morality.
Simply take the commercial market as an example. The shopping mall is like a battlefield, but those who fail will only lose money at most. But fighting is different. This is an industry where people can eat people!
Xia Dou has to deal with all kinds of agencies. If he is not careful at all, he will lose his life. He must always be wary of the people around him and those he can trust.
If you are not a friend who can be with you through life and death and have a deep bond, then you must consider many factors in your next fight!
To put it bluntly, you can't tell whether it's a human or a ghost. No one can trust you except yourself if you get into a fight!
"Of course! If my vision is wrong, the worst possible outcome is death in your hands."
Xu Jinxiu grinned helplessly. Although it didn't sound very nice, the result was this.
Just as we were talking, the atmosphere between us suddenly became depressed, so let's just take it as a break and regain the strength we just lost.
"hiss!!!"
"His grandma, why does my head hurt so much?"
Just when the atmosphere between the two of us was a little gloomy, a discordant voice came from the other end of us. The two of us turned our heads and realized that it was Liu Bao who was in a coma and woke up first. Come over.
Seeing that he was fine, Xu Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Liu Bao, you've finally woken up, otherwise we wouldn't be able to take all three of you out with just the two of us."
"What's going on?"
Liu Bao touched his head and looked at the unfamiliar environment around him, like a drunk who had lost consciousness overnight. He had no idea what the hell happened during this period.
Xu Jinxiu explained the cause and effect, mainly explaining to him what happened after being psychedelic.
Later, when we talked about the scene where Xu Jinxiu and I were chased wildly by the three of them, Liu Bao's expression was quite wonderful.
He stood up and slapped his thigh suddenly, and immediately came over to hug me. I waved my hand to say you're welcome. Liu Bao turned his head and looked at Xu Jinxiu again. Maybe he felt something was wrong, so he changed from hugging to bowing.
"Chen Changyan! Thank you so much. If you hadn't given up on the three of us, you would have been shot to death!"
This sentence is not exaggerated at all. In an unknowing and completely unknown situation, when life is threatened, self-protection and elimination of threats must be the basis.
"It should, it should. Since you have chosen me to be the leader, I must do my best to ensure that you all can go out, otherwise I will be unqualified."
I grinned. Although the process was a little more difficult, at least the result was good. Liu Bao would no longer be wary of me. In this way, our work cooperation could be improved by several levels.
Following closely behind, Dalian and Liu Siyuan also woke up, but because of all the hard work before, their bodies were still a little overwhelmed, but other things were fine.
Liu Bao acted as a repeater, repeating what had just happened.
In addition to thanking me, the two of them also looked at me in a slightly different way.
They replenished their strength for a while, while I got up and explored this confined environment.
Fortunately, I found a trap mechanism at the Xiaxuan entrance in the secret passage, which was enough to prove that there was an exit here.
"Everyone, lean back and try not to separate."
Liu Bao glanced in my direction and stretched his neck curiously.
"What's wrong, Chen Changyan, did you find something?"
I nodded "Yeah".
"The trapdoor mechanism is most likely the exit, but I can't rule out the possibility of a linked mechanism. It's best for everyone to be careful."
After hearing what I said, everyone leaned behind me and kept a distance of half a meter to prepare for emergencies at any time.
Xu Jinxiu cast a look at me, indicating that I must be careful. I nodded in response and directly pressed the trap door.
As a dull rumble sounded, the space of the secret passage gradually changed. We shined our flashlights in different directions at the four corners to prevent any hidden traps.
Fortunately, it was not that bad as I thought. There was no secret weapon or any other hidden weapon as expected. It was just that the width of the wall was changed, and the seemingly irregular stone wall began to slowly sink at this time.
The first thing it brings is not the visual shock, but the olfactory torture!
After the wall sank, a stench hit my face. I swear, I have never smelled such a bad smell in my life.
All of our faces turned pale, not because we were frightened, but because we were stimulated by the smell. All of us were almost on the verge of vomiting.
I swear, this is not an exaggeration at all. I have seen corpses, seen corrosion, and even smelled the smell of rotten protein. I didn't have any physiological reaction at all, but this time I almost didn't bear it. Come down.
The two girls, Xu Jinxiu and Dalian, pinched their noses. It seemed that they couldn't help but want to exit. If it weren't for not knowing the exit, they wouldn't want to stay here for a second longer.
There is something even more shocking later!
When the stone wall completely sank, we were completely shocked by the scene in front of us!
The walls seemed to have no end, and they were all densely covered with mummies, and the stench also came from these corpses.
A corpse wall of this scale is simply more shocking than Qin Shihuang's Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The facial expressions of these mummies are very ferocious, and almost all of them have their mouths wide open.
As if I had been subjected to some inhuman torture during my lifetime, I couldn't help but squint my eyes, resisting the nausea, and kept scanning the wall.
It was at this time that Xu Jinxiu suddenly touched my arm, and I turned to look at her.
"What do you think? Do you know what this is going on?"
"The wall of corpses should be living sacrifices. These people were tortured to death, but we still don't know what they were sacrificed for."
Having said this, I took a step forward, randomly picked up a stone on the ground, and clicked twice on the corpse wall.
A yellow, oily thing was taken off easily by me.
"Corpse oil?"
My brows furrowed. I really didn't understand how these mummies were formed. The environmental conditions and positions couldn't be combined to form such a result.
Moreover, it is not dry here. There is no air outlet, so it is impossible for the corpse to look like this. On the contrary, it is not only not dry, but rather humid.
"Chen Changyan, look over there!"
