Tokyo underground city

Chapter 50 Question [Drop 300,000 collections and Happy New Year’s Day update]

However, before going to the Blue Crystal Cave, Lin Huai'en returned home and spent two days recovering from his injuries. Then he ran to the Red Crystal Cave, found the mummy swordsman, and jumped to his feet angrily and cursed -

"You said someone was waiting for me in the Green Crystal Cave, but there was only one monster there and it almost killed me!"

However, the mummy swordsman just sat leisurely in the illusion, staring at Lin Huaien with his strange red pupils: "It is indeed... waiting for you..."

"Waiting for you...to pick it up..."

"Then it wants to kill me?!" Lin Huai'en said angrily.

"You... outsiders... it's hard... to really die." The mummy swordsman pointed to the pass around Lin Huaien's neck: "With... the protection of the amulet... most of the time... you can be resurrected."

The mummy swordsman glanced at Lin Huai'en with a strange look: "So...it wants to...try you...in person..."

"The so-called try, is it possible to kill me?"

Lin Huai'en was shocked when he heard that the mummy swordsman revealed that he could be resurrected.

But after thinking about it, I understood that even the manufacturing technology of the pass was given to humans by the guardians of the deep layer. As a guardian, it is not surprising that the mummy swordsman knows the secret of the explorer's resurrection.

Fortunately, it has no malicious intent, otherwise it would be easy for a swordsman like it to target the explorers' weaknesses.

Thinking of this, Lin Huaien subconsciously stuffed the pass hanging outside into his clothes.

And the mummy continued: "We... want to ask... you... if we don't have enough... strength... we can't... finish it."

"Crow's character...is more...cautious than mine..."

"So...it doesn't want to waste...time."

"I can kill you...to prove...that it is right..."

"Otherwise... just agree... with my opinion... and hand over to you the... body... of the... adult... whom we... are protecting."

This was the second time Lin Huai'en heard the mummy mention "that adult". He subconsciously frowned: "Who is the 'that adult' you are talking about? The body of the 'that adult' you are talking about is Do you mean 'Grey's Wrath' and 'Someone's Left Eye'?"

"That lord...is that lord..."

"He is the one who leads us...to resist the tyranny of the goddess..."

The mummy swordsman lowered his gaze slightly, as if he was remembering something: "We failed... and caused a lot of... disasters... that Lord... was also sealed... and raised."

"According to the wishes of the goddess... that adult... should have completely... disappeared... but that adult... was not willing... to die like this..."

"So His body...became...part of...the underground city."

"If you want to... continue to explore... this dungeon... you will definitely encounter... His body..."

"Destroy them...let Him rest in peace...that is...my and the Crow's...request."

The mummy swordsman raised his eyes and looked at Lin Huaien: "And you... can also... choose... to resurrect Him."

"He will bring you... strength... but he will also bring you... misfortune..."

"It's like...me and...crow..."

The mummy swordsman said, raising his wrist to let Lin Huai'en see his shriveled undead body: "You are a person with a will..."

"I hope you can...make...the right...choice."

The mummy lowered her hands and looked level with Lin Huai'en: "And I... and Crow... both... made the wrong choice."

"..." Lin Huai'en let out a long breath silently.

He felt that he had made up a whole story in his mind, but he still didn't know what happened. The mummy spoke too slowly. Although it could be said that he knew everything, it was still a long process to ask clearly. .

In a sense, the mummy's poor speaking speed was the only limitation when he asked the mummy swordsman.

"That adult..." Lin Huai'en pondered this title and suddenly looked at the mummy: "Is that adult a man or a woman? Is he a god?"

"That lord... is that lord..." the mummy replied calmly: "We... don't know his... gender... and he is not... a god."

"Just as...noble as...gods."

"He was a trespasser...a sinful being...but in order to help us...he was willing to let his...clean record...become dust."

"Goddess? A divine human without godhood?" Lin Huai'en came up with a lot of conjectures from the novels he had read, but that only made him more confused.

"But...be it God or goddess...even the black card-level explorers who came back from the abyss have not discovered the existence of goddesses and gods..."

Lin Huai'en frowned and thought. He had known that dungeons could be resurrected and that ghosts existed among monsters, but——

"Do you think there is a 'soul' in this world?" he asked subconsciously.

"Now I'm going to ask you... what is the definition of soul..."

The mummy swordsman raised his head and glanced at him: "You outsiders...the so-called soul...doesn't exist."

"But... from the perspective of our underground... civilization... people... have souls."

The mummy pointed to Lin Huaien's body calmly: "It's in your... body."

"As long as your body... can be resurrected... it can... be resurrected."

"But... it will wear out faster than... your body..."

"So...be careful...of death."

After saying that, a large amount of black mist emerged from the mummy swordsman's body and disappeared instantly.

"Is the time up..." Lin Huai'en muttered softly.

As a rule of thumb, the mummy will generally reappear after fifteen minutes to half an hour.

But Lin Huai'en didn't plan to wait any longer. He had already asked the question he wanted to ask the most——

What is in the dungeon, what is the purpose of the mummy swordsmen and the others, and whether souls exist.

As for whether the answer the mummy swordsman told him was true or false, that was another matter.

[“When faced with a problem, people will instinctively draw conclusions.”]

[“But before we get enough information, we might as well let the bullets fly for a while.”]

【"Waiting is a virtue."】

Under Xu Qin's indoctrination, Lin Huai'en has become accustomed to being in a huge and chaotic world of uncertainty.

In this chaotic uncertainty, the only thing he can be sure of is himself——

and the rare but reliable connections that are established with others.

"All things are false, all things are permitted."

Lin Huai'en somehow suddenly remembered this sentence in "Assassin's Creed".

Perhaps, this sentence is the best explanation for Xu Qin's statement.

"wait".

Allowing him to see the truth clearly, distinguish truth from falsehood, penetrate people's hearts, glimpse the truth, and——

Strengthen yourself.
