[217]
Xiao Yang was stunned: "...Didn't you say that this is an infinite oasis?"
"Infinite Oasis is just a way of describing it here. In places like this, their official name is Hades, which is a real paradise that exists in every scene. Ma Bairan closed his eyes and said, "There are no enemies here. There is no horror, no pain, no killing and blood. This is a world where anyone who stays here can be happy..."
"Sorry, that may be your happiness, but at least I'm sure it's not my happiness. Continue to stay here until the task of the living is completed, and she and I will die. We have to get out of here." Xiao Yang stood up and said, "If you don't want to help, see you again. We will find a way out by ourselves.
Ma Boran stared at the teapot and spit out a word: "10,000 times."
"What ten thousand times?"
The speed of time. The time in the underworld is 10,000 times slower than in the scene. I stayed here for 10,000 hours, and only an hour passed in the scene outside. Ma Boran said, "You came from the singularity area, right? The singularity area is actually the door to the underworld. You are lucky to be here. Let's play here for a few years before going out. Anyway, your body will not grow old. Isn't it good to live happily for a few years in this peaceful world?
This is a very powerful proposal. You don't have to face the threat of death at any time, don't have to think about so many troublesome things, and live a carefree life in this peaceful place... Seriously, this is also good. Xiao Yang's heart was shaken for a while.
"Xiao!" Jill's voice suddenly pulled Xiao Yang back from his imagination. I don't know when she has come to Xiaoyang. Obviously, she also heard Ma Boran's words.
"If what he said is true, will you stay here..." Jill's voice trembled a little.
Xiao Yang stared at her: "What about you? What choice will you make?"
"My choice has been determined from the beginning. I want to go to the real world and experience real life. Jill said, "Do you remember? It was you who made me have this dream. If you want to be a deserter, I won't forgive you, captain. Ruina and Luo outside, Jiang, who is still struggling as a living person, and Liang, they will not forgive you!"
"What's the truth. Thank you, Jill. Xiao Yang looked at Ma Boran and said, "Sorry, I won't stay here."
Ma Boran hurriedly said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Stay here for a while, and the outside world won't last for a few minutes.
"We can't delay for a second. If you don't want to tell us how to leave, we will leave." Xiao Yang said this. In fact, he still has a little concern and didn't say - who knows if this 10,000 times is true or false? Anyway, Ma Boran is talking now. No matter what he says, Xiao Yang and the others have no way to verify it. At present, the most correct choice is to leave here, and there is no need to consider other options.
"Haha, how to leave?" Ma Boran laughed, "Didn't I just say that you can't leave here?"
"Real?" Xiao Yang also smiled, "I remember you just advised us to play for a few years before going out. In this way, there must be a way to go out, right?
"This..." Ma Boran was speechless.
"Since you don't want to help us, bye, Uncle Ma." Xiao Yang turned around and said, "Gill, let's go."
When they took less than ten steps, Ma Bairan's voice came: "You won! I'll show you the way and let you get out of here."
"What about the conditions?" Xiao Yang turned his head and asked.
"Old man, I have nothing else to ask for. At least play chess with the old man." Ma Boran opened the warehouse space and took out a game of chess from it.
Xiao Yang nodded: "Okay."
"Ah! It doesn't count! This plate doesn't count! Come again!" Ma Bairan grabbed his hair and shouted demeanor, "Kid, you are too treacherous! How dare you use this horse..."
"What you are talking about is a game of chess. Once a man has said a word, it is difficult to catch up with the horse. Xiao Yang said indifferently, "Master, do you want me to call you Mother Ma?"
"...the mouth is really sharp. All right, just as I said, I'll take you away." Ma Bairan took back the chessboard with some regret and took out a square black stone slab from the warehouse space. Many scales are engraved on the surface of the slate, and there is a smooth spoon on the slate, which seems to stick to the slate.
Xiao Yang remembered that he had seen this thing in textbooks before and asked for a moment, "Si Nan?"
The so-called Sinan is the earliest compass in ancient China.
"Well, this is called Heisnan, that is, the space-time compass. No matter how twisted the space-time, this thing will definitely point to the position of a special point in spacetime. In the space of the underworld, Hei Sinan will point to the switch where the door of the underworld is opened. Ma Bairan said and picked up Hei Sinan, and then the spoon became shiny, and then began to spin crazily. After half a minute, the handle of the spoon stopped straight in the other direction. Ma Bairan deliberately turned the slate a few times, and the handle of the spoon still pointed to the original place.
"That's the direction." Ma Bairan walked in the direction pointed by the spoon handle. Xiao Yang was also ready to follow. Jill shouted at him: "Have you really decided to go with him? In case it's a trap..."
"To be honest. We don't know anything about the underworld. I really have to find my way out by myself. I don't know how long it will take. Xiao Yang whispered, "Of course we shouldn't believe it, but we can only trust him now."
Under the guidance of Hesnan, the three finally reached a strange giant tree in the woodland. This tree is not taller than the trees around it, but it is so thick that even ten people can't hold it. Seeing that the handle of Black Sinan's spoon pointed straight at the giant tree, Ma Bairan walked to the edge of the tree and touched the tree with his hand. His hand was inserted into the tree without any resistance, as if it were inserted into the water.
"That's it." Ma Bairan stepped into the tree with one foot and said, "Come in."
After Ma Bairan disappeared into the tree, Xiao Yang and Jill also followed him into the tree. Inside the tree turned out to be another vast space, with stars shining in the black night sky, and what was more striking was a big ball in the middle of the road in front of them. The ball is more than 20 meters in diameter and shines brightly on it. Next to the ball, a man was lying on the ground, curled up and sleeping peacefully.
"Rina?" Xiao Yang shouted her name and rushed up. The person lying on the ground continued to sleep as if he didn't hear it.
Xiao Yang couldn't help but feel a little annoyed when he thought that Rena might be a previous image, but he still ran to Rena. He stretched out his hand to Rena and actually touched Rena's body, so he was relieved. Just as Xiao Yang was about to wake up Rena--
A sickle blade broke out of Rena's arm without warning and suddenly scraped in the direction of Xiao Yang!
Rina suddenly attacked, Xiao Yang was shocked and immediately rolled to the ground, finally dodged the blow. But the ground was not so lucky that a deep mark was cut out.
Xiao Yang stood up and said angrily, "What are you doing! It's me!"
Rina didn't attack again. The blade of the sickle on her arm automatically disappeared, and she turned over and lay on the other side. Xiao Yang had nothing to say. It turned out that Reina just slept too poorly.
"Yo. This little girl is really dangerous. If you want to get along with her now, the old man advises you to break the idea quickly. You can't marry a wife like this. Maybe I got up in the middle of the night and found that my head had been cut off. Ma Bairan came over with a smile.
"Don't joke, this guy is just my companion." Xiao Yang said that he pinched Reina's nose with his hand. Rena's face became more and more red, and then she suddenly woke up and shook off Xiao Yang's hand.
"Wow--" Reina breathed quickly and touched Xiao Yang's face in surprise, "Xiao Yang? You...you're not dead yet?"
Xiao Yang was speechless: "...what is this?"
"... By the way, you may not know yet, do you? This is a underworld, and the speed of time is one thousandth that of the outside world. I have been here for nearly half a year, and it should have been 7 hours outside. I search back and forth several times every day, but I still can't find any trace of your visit. Seven hours, the space in the hole has been distorted dozens of times. I'm desperate, but you can really come back to me alive. Rena suddenly grabbed Xiao Yang, "I want to praise God now!"
Xiao Yang patted her on the back: "...I didn't stay in the cave for so long. In a little more than half an hour, I found the singular area.
Rina was surprised: "What! If you are only half an hour later than me, you should have been here a few months ago. But how come I haven't even found your footprints?"
"Little girl, you made a mistake." Ma Bairan's voice sounded, "The time flow rate of this underworld is not one thousandth, but one ten thousandth. So Xiao Yang really just came here.
"One in ten thousand..." It was not until then that Reina realized the existence of Ma Bairan. She suddenly stood up and pulled Xiao Yang behind her: "Who are you?"
Xiao Yang said, "His name is Ma Boran..."
"I am also a soul messenger, and I am currently in a cooperative relationship with this boy." Ma Boran took Xiao Yang's words and directly reported his identity.
Rina didn't say anything for a second. Then she smiled and said, "Oh, hello. My name is Rena. Please take good care of me."
"Hey, you're quite polite." Ma Bairan glanced at Xiao Yang, "It's much better than those guys who killed the old man as soon as they guessed that I was the soul messenger."
Xiao Yang also looked at Rena in surprise. What's wrong with this guy? How could she treat other soul messengers with courtesy? It's like the sun coming out from the west.
"Uncle, this thing seems to be a bottomless hole. I can't fill it in no matter how I fill it. Do you know what's going on?" Reina pointed to the big ball beside her and asked Ma Boran.
Ma Bairan said, "The different energy required by this thing is inversely proportional to the speed of time. In the underworld, where the time flow rate is one ten thousandth, it requires a lot of foreign energy.
"So it is. So uncle, can you help us fill it up? Rena smiled and said, "I think uncle is very powerful. Isn't it easy for you?"
Xiao Yang understood when he saw this. For Reina, Ma Buran's power is worth using, which is why she adopts a friendly attitude.
"Hehe, this is easy to say. That's why I came here." Ma Bairan walked to the edge of the ball, closed his eyes, and put his palms on the ball.
At this time, Jill, who just came by, asked, "What is he doing?"
"He is injecting alien energy into it." Rina explained, "This ball is called Pluto. As long as it is filled with foreign energy, it will rise to the sky by itself and open the door of the underworld for us. So we can go back to the desert scene. It needs to be continuously injected with foreign energy, and I can't light it up with all my own foreign energy injection, so I need this uncle's help.
At this time, Xiao Yang looked at Rena and said a little unhappily, "I said, do you know about the underworld? You didn't tell me when you were in the mine. As a result, we didn't know how to get out when we came here, and we had to turn to others for help.
"I'm sorry. At that time, I thought it was too troublesome to explain, and there was no danger in the underworld. It was not too late to explain it when we came to the underworld. Unexpectedly, another accident happened later. The singularity field I opened was just beside me, and I didn't have time to pull you here. Rena's voice lowered, "It's great that you're fine, otherwise... I don't know what to do."
Xiao Yang looked at Rena. A tired and haggard look that she had never seen before clearly appeared on her face. For half a year in this underworld, Reina has been looking for herself every day. She will be so tired that she can't even sleep well, which is one of the most important reasons.
"Thank you for your hard work." Three words blurted out.
Rina didn't say anything, just smiled, and then turned her eyes to the Pluto beside her. Xiao Yang also looked at theming xing. Now the Pluto is several times brighter than before, all because Ma Bairan is constantly injecting alien energy into it. This old man is obviously much stronger than Reina.
Xiao Yang looked at Ma Bairan's straight back and was full of doubts. With the strength of this old man, it should be easier for him to continue to be a soul messenger. Does Ma Bairan really want to spend the rest of his time in this underworld as he said?
Oh, forget it, it's just a waste of time to think about this question. In short, Ma Boran seems to really want to help, but he can't see any conspiracy. If he really has a conspiracy, I'll see him then. Are youware of him? It's useless. Ma Boran is overwhelmingly powerful, and there is no difference between him and not beingware of him.
Pluto is getting brighter and brighter. The smile on Rena's face became more and more stiff. Ma Bairan's total amount of foreign energy is far beyond her imagination. From this point alone, it can be judged that Ma Boran is difficult to deal with.
"Xiao Yang, how did you meet this uncle?" Reina asked Xiao Yang like a chat. Xiao Yang told the situation at that time.
Rina's heart is beyond words. Rebirth potential 170,000? What kind of concept is that? The higher the upper limit of the rebirth potential, the more exaggerated the demand index needed to continue to increase the upper limit. To increase the potential of rebirth to 170,000, it will cost at least 200,000 to claim the life index... Counting up, this bad old man's obstruction should have been successful dozens of times. This not only means that his combat effectiveness is extremely amazing, but also that his wisdom and adaptability are extraordinary. Rena knows that she can't defeat Ma Bairan now, and it is difficult to get rid of him with a plan. And even if Ma Bairan exhausted all the strange energy in the Pluto as Reina expected, Rena could not kill him by sneak attack.
However, judging from Xiao Yang's words, it is also possible that Ma Bairan really wants to stay here. The soul messenger who experienced too much killing volunteered to stay in the underworld. This kind of thing has been heard before, and it is not rare. After all, the underworld is like heaven for the soul messenger. And Ma Bairan's voluntary help makes no difference, which is indeed no loss to him; and Reina also heard that most of the enchanted messengers who have been in the underworld for a long time will become very gentle, and it is easy for them to help.
However, if you really think about it this way, there will be contradictions in what is found in the desert scene. At that time, the baron betrayed the crowd and lured them into the ghost mine. The baron had previously regarded everyone as messengers of God, but it wasn't long before his attitude changed so much. Obviously, the baron learned more information from some people. Who is the person who instigated the baron? Living people? No, they left a long time ago and didn't have time to commit the crime.
Since it was not done by the living, it must have been done by the soul messenger. In the scene, there were seven soul messengers, two of whom died and five more. He and Xiao Yang ruled out first, while Yuan Hu has never been there and there is no time to commit the crime, so they are also excluded; then the only suspect is naturally the seventh soul messenger. When Reina was in the mine before, she inferred that the seventh soul messenger was haunted behind her.
Ma Boran, the seventh suspect soul messenger, has appeared. But seriously, the possibility that the mastermind behind the scenes is Ma Bairan is too low. Ma Bairan is unexpectedly powerful, so there is no need for him to take such a big circle. With such a strong combat effectiveness, it is naturally easy for Ma Boran to kill Xiao Yang and others; even if his purpose is to use everyone's ability, he only needs to use force to coerce him. For the powerful Ma Bairan, conspiracy and trickery is simply too much. In contrast, Ma Bairan said that he wanted to stay here for the rest of his life, which is more true and credible.
If the above reasoning is true and Ma Boran is really not behind the scenes, then who created the illusion? Who is ready to move in the dark? What on earth does he want to do?
Too many questions and doubts made Rena's mind fall into chaos for a while. But she quickly regained her composure. No need to panic, no need to be impatient. The change in the situation did not fundamentally affect her plan. The plan can continue as long as it is slightly changed. In the end, all the problems will be solved as expected.
"Duncle, you are working too hard alone. I'll also help inject alien energy into it." Reina said that she was going to walk towards theming xing. Xiao Yang grabbed her and said, "I think you are also very tired, so don't force yourself."
"Honey, you care about me a lot. Don't worry, I will do what I can, and I won't be able to live with myself. Rena said and shook off Xiao Yang's hand.
"Hey, you two are so sweet." Ma Boran joked, "That young man, you just said that she was just a companion."
"Okay, honey, remember that you are ready to accept the punishment I love later." Rena shook her eyes at Xiao Yang and then walked to the Pluto.
Xiao Yang clenched his fist and didn't say anything more. In this flirting conversation just now, he has said everything he should say. Rui
