I take skeletons to the apocalypse
Chapter 112
Seven, exactly the same as the number of people who disappeared last time.
Chao Mo looked at Xia Xi with sharper eyes, almost with certainty: "Didn't Mr. Black Crow say that there is nothing below? This time, how are you going to explain it?"
It's not a good feeling to be framed by others. Many people standing here have had a good relationship with him.Like the simple and talkative Gu Ming, the calm and reliable Xiang Lei, the two sisters Song Qiao and Song Rui who have made clothes for him and refitted his equipment...
They had all expressed a lot of kindness to Xia Xi in the past, but now they looked at him full of anger, defense, and indifference.
Xia Xi chuckled lightly, a little less interested: "The explanation is for those who believe it. Since you don't believe me anymore, what's the use of explaining more?"
He doesn't blame these people for misunderstanding. If his memory is erased and these evidences are presented to him, he will suspect that he is the murderer behind the scenes.
With the lives of so many people at stake, Chao Mo didn't fight him as soon as he came in, which was already showing some kindness.
But he was still a little lost, just a little bit.
Xia Xi secretly thought, he now has nearly [-] skeletons in total, and it is not difficult to snatch a speedboat from this island to escape.
Since the doctor plotted against him, he will naturally ask the doctor to get it back, and he will prove his innocence by himself.It's just that I probably won't come back to this island in the future.That's okay, he already has enough skeletons to take care of, and he can live well anywhere.
He won't miss it here.
He has long been used to parting.
"If you don't explain, how can we know that we won't believe it!" Gu Ming's voice interrupted Xia Xi's thoughts.
This somewhat reckless young man, with red eyes at the moment, glared at him angrily: "The Mr. Black Crow I know shouldn't be someone who kills people for the sake of a few skeletons. Since the day I met you , you have been saving people and helping people. You are very strong, stronger than all of us. If you really want to get an army of skeletons by killing people, let alone two hundred, you will get two thousand. I don't believe you would kill someone for a few skeletons! Someone must have set you up!"
Xia Xi was taken aback for a moment, so Gu Ming was angry because he was framed?
"I believe you too." Xiang Lei, who has always been reticent, said deeply.He only said these four words, but it made many people loosen their expressions.As Zhu Guang's deputy team, his attitude is second only to Chaomo in terms of influence in the team.
Chao Mo looked around him, and unexpectedly, his two most trusted companions would stand up to protect Xia Xi at this moment.
What Gu Ming said actually makes sense. With Xia Xi's strength, if he really wants to expand his skeleton team by killing people, there are many people on land, so he doesn't need to use such a troublesome method.
If it is said that he joined forces with the doctor, then when Sheng Bai came, they could cooperate with each other and attack Zhuguang. Even if they couldn't do it all together, at least they could take away themselves and a few reborn people.He didn't need to go to Jingting City for himself, let alone try to obtain the clover antidote formula, the two S-level samples brought back to the cultivation base, and these more than 50 artificial humans.
Thinking of this, Chao Mo looked at Xia Xi and took a deep breath: "It's my fault, I shouldn't preconceive you as a murderer before finding out the facts. Please explain the cause and effect of the matter, no matter what it is After hearing such a reason, we will naturally have a way to verify it and make a judgment.”
Facing several pairs of expectant eyes, Xia Xi's heart moved slightly.The situation seems to be a little different from what I expected.
He suddenly remembered his previous life.After practicing Necromancer for a period of time, he inadvertently broke into a mountain village during a chase by the Church of Light.It is isolated from the world, and the villagers are warm and simple.Young men and women can sing beautiful folk songs to farm and chop firewood. The aunt who raises pigs next door always wants to tell herself that she is a family, and the barefoot melon grower will deliver the harvested melons to every household.
There, he is not a prince of subjugation, an evil necromancer, or a wanted criminal of the Church of Light.His name is Xia Tian, he is just a young man from the city, he has read some books, and by teaching the children in the mountains to read and write, he exchanged some food.It is rare to have a stable life, almost want to forget the hatred, just live in peace with the world.
But one day, the old man who delivered the melons brought back a wanted warrant from the Guangming Church from the foot of the mountain.It completely shattered the life he managed so hard to manage.
The arrest warrant stated that he was an evil necromancer who would kill the people here and take their bones to make puppets for his slavery.He also said that as long as the villagers provide his whereabouts, he can get a thousand gold coins and the blessing of the bishop of light.
So those villagers sold his whereabouts to the Guangming Church without hesitation.The old lady who was yelling to kiss him the day before brought her drugged tea the day after.If it wasn't for the fear and disgust in her eyes that made Xia Xi suspicious, maybe after drinking that cup of tea, he would be in the dungeon of the Illuminati Church when he woke up again.
Xia Xi thinks that everyone in the world is like this, even if there is an exception like Jing Lan, most people probably cannot escape greed and prejudice.Sun Dian's reaction is normal, Gu Ming and Xiang Lei's are too strange, and what's even more strange is Chao Mo, who has experienced betrayal in his previous life, so he should be more vigilant and suspicious of such things.
But why do they seem to really just want to hear their own explanation at this moment, as if no matter how ridiculous the excuses they make, they will try their best to verify them?
Xia Xi sighed, and compromised with Chaomo: "Tell the others to leave, and I will only explain all the explanations to you."
Zhao Mo nodded, motioning for the others to go out first.
"No!" Sun Dian was the first to stand up and object: "It's too dangerous, Captain. Maybe he wants to take the opportunity to escape, or hold you hostage and force us to let him go."
Chao Mo pushed down his glasses with his index finger: "I have a healing ability, and it's not easy to kill me. This is a warehouse, and the surrounding area is closed. The underground has been reinforced with concrete. Break through the ground and escape, you are waiting outside the door, I will not be in danger."
The room was empty.
"You're calmer than I thought." Xia Xi said.
"I have to be responsible for the living. Being influenced by one's feelings will kill people." Chao Mo didn't talk to Xia Xiduo, and cut to the point: "Tell me, what happened?"
"It was set up by the doctor." Xia Xi said, "He wanted to frame me, although I haven't figured out what the purpose is."
"This matter is a bit long, and I haven't fully sorted it out. What is certain is that Jing Yue is also a reborn person, but his rebirth is different from others. His previous life and this life consciousness have not merged, but have separate different bodies..."
Xia Xi told Chaomo everything she knew and speculated.The two stayed in the warehouse for a long time, until the sky turned pale, and then they left the warehouse with the same sleepy eyes.
However, when he went out, Chao Mo's attitude did not improve, but he became more wary of Xia Xi.It seems that Xia Xi's remarks did not dispel Chaomo's misunderstanding.
"Give him a blood test. I want to make sure there is no collusion between him and the research institute." Chao Mo ordered a researcher in a laboratory, and then said to Xiang Lei: "Before the results come out, give Mr. Black Crow Put on a restraint neck ring, take him back to his residence and keep him temporarily under surveillance, and isolate him with a power shield to prevent him from using his own skeleton to escape."
"Yes." Xiang Lei replied, walked towards Xia Xi with the neck ring, and whispered "Offended".
Xia Xi didn't make unnecessary resistance, and let the other party deprive herself of the connection with the skeleton.
The expectation in Gu Ming's eyes darkened, obviously he was not expecting such a result.
Jing Lan woke up very early. When he opened his eyes, he found that the other side of the quilt was cold and the bed was flat. Obviously, the other owner of the house hadn't slept all night.
He got up to look for Xia Xi's figure, but waited until Xia Xi was escorted back with a collar, followed by a few people, carrying machines for shielding abilities, and arranged them inside and out as soon as he arrived.
Jing Lan's movements froze, and many thoughts flashed through her mind.After Xia Xi's previous trials, Jing Lan already had a guess in his mind.Of course, he would not think that Xia Xi was the murderer of the disappearance, but maybe he was doing something dangerous without telling everyone, and thus caused suspicion.
However, according to Xia Xi's character, he shouldn't be caught after being wronged.Jing Lan stepped forward anxiously, her eyes circled around Xia Xi, and she was relieved to make sure that he was not injured.
Then he looked at the members of the light-chasing team next to Xia Xi, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said in a bad tone, "What do you mean?"
"Chaomo suspects me. Until the suspicion is cleared, I will be locked in the room like this." Xia Xi pulled the collar around his neck, and the ruby on his left ring finger reflected the same light: "Don't embarrass them, I have something to tell you."
Xia Xi waited for the chaser to leave, and took Jing Lan up to the second floor.During this period, he kept yawning, his eyes filled with water.He didn't rest much these days, and he didn't sleep all night last night. Now that he found out the truth, he relaxed, and his sleepiness also surged.
Jing Lan then persuaded, "Go to sleep first, and talk about it when you wake up."
Xia Xi shook her head: "I should have told you a long time ago. It's just that I've been afraid that I made a mistake, and I want to be sure."
Jing Lan heard the meaning of Xia Xi's words: "Is it about my uncle?"
"Yeah." Xia Xi nodded and said bluntly, "Jing Yue is a doctor."
Jing Lan was slightly stunned for a moment, as if she didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Xia Xi knew the truth was cruel.But Jing Lan also has the right to know the truth.He can't make decisions for Jing Lan in the name of being good for the other party.
So Xia Xi started from the beginning: "Six months ago, I actually saw Jing Yue's body in the S1 sample room of the cultivation base. But at that time, the Jing Yue we knew was still alive and well on the island."
He talked about his temptation after returning to the island, his speculation after the disappearance, how to investigate and confirm it, until last night, he obtained definite evidence on the artificial man.
"So the doctor you met in the previous life should be Jing Yue. He used the artificial man I brought to contact the current Jing Yue. The fusion should have been completed in front of him. They took away the repaired artificial man and made another one. A new one instead, even swapping my skeleton into a new android body without me noticing."
Jing Lan didn't want to believe this fact.But Xia Xi's investigation, evidence collection, and analysis, step by step, are clear.If he wanted to question the truth, he would be questioning Xia Xi's lying.Jing Lan knew that Xia Xi would not lie to him about this kind of thing.
But... Uncle is a doctor?Is that the doctor who locked himself with the Phantom Butterfly of the Styx, and used the fear of dying to stimulate himself to continuously release his abilities for his experiment?
Isn't he part of his family?
If he is really a doctor, he needs to cooperate with the research, why can't he tell himself, why use such cruel methods?
No, the doctor can't be Jing Yue. Jing Yue is someone who will find a way to rescue injured stray cats when he sees them on the side of the road. He really likes research, but he will never use living people as research materials, let alone make use of them. The devil clover kills people to obtain supplies.
He spoke, his voice seemed to have been polished by rough sandpaper, and his voice was surprisingly hoarse: "Jing Yue can't be a doctor, he must, there must be something wrong."
Chao Mo looked at Xia Xi with sharper eyes, almost with certainty: "Didn't Mr. Black Crow say that there is nothing below? This time, how are you going to explain it?"
It's not a good feeling to be framed by others. Many people standing here have had a good relationship with him.Like the simple and talkative Gu Ming, the calm and reliable Xiang Lei, the two sisters Song Qiao and Song Rui who have made clothes for him and refitted his equipment...
