Chapter 448

Lin Jie carried Hong back silently, and she didn't wake up slowly until the next morning, and would still cry when she remembered her grandma.

Lin Jie was speechless, so he made a small mat for himself, and sat outside to read a book. There was no sunlight in the downtown area, and the street lamps made of luminous pith stones only illuminated for two hours a day to guide the managers.

Due to the long-term underground, a major focus of the mutation of members of the lower city also includes night vision.

It wasn't until the time in the downtown area was close to five o'clock the next day that Hong came out of the shed with swollen eyes and looked at Lin Jie in surprise.

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Jie put away his thick book with a snap, and said with a smile, "I'm your hostage."

He was in need of a guide to see the lower city, formed by pollution, as a man, not as the god who made it all.

"I want to mine." Hong choked up and said, "I haven't eaten for many days."

"I'll accompany you."

Hong frowned and looked at Lin Jie. Although this person was much thinner than the residents in the lower city, he was at least a man, so he could help him no matter what.

Hong's sadness towards grandma is much more exaggerated than that of the entire lower city.

Because death is always with the whole lower city.

In addition to the smell of rock formations, the air here is filled with the smell of endless corpses. This is where Hong lives, and there is almost a mass grave behind it. She doesn't know where her grandmother was buried, and she was probably thrown to an unknown place by the managers. .

"Dig with me, and look for my grandma." Hong found a shovel from the house and pointed at Lin Jie.

Lin Jie nodded, adjusted his cloak, and followed behind Hong.

In the lower city, people who are over eight years old are called adults, and the average life expectancy is only twenty-five years old. Most people are crushed by pollution, hunger, and repetitive overwork.

Lin Jie walked in the tunnel with her, and casually used the ability of mind rewriting, which made Lin Jie easily assimilate with the people around him.

Hong squeezed to go to more ore sources, but was pushed out abruptly.

She puffed her cheeks like a little frog, and her chubby tentacles danced angrily. She squeezed in again with all her might, and was lifted up by Lin Jie.

"If you don't want to die the same way as your grandma, then don't do such stupid things." Lin Jie said with a smile.

Speaking of grandma, Hong began to purse her lips again, swallowing her tears with sobs.

"Why are you so indifferent, it's too bad." Hong said uncomfortable.

After Lin Jie heard this, he raised his eyebrows, let go of his hand, and the red fell to the ground like a little stupid cat. Lin Jie silently looked at the red on the ground, and said: "It is true, I am more indifferent than before. Too much."

"Maybe it's because I can resurrect your grandma casually, and I also know what kind of world people will go to after death." Lin Jie said as if talking to himself: "So it's like this..."

"Can you resurrect grandma?... If you make fun of my grandma again, I will kill you." Hong knew that the dead cannot be resurrected, so she raised her shovel and said tearfully.

Lin Jie raised his hand, habitually showing that he was harmless, and then said: "I heard people say today that there are a lot of ore underground, and we can dig there."

After hearing this, Hong's face changed slightly. Her performance was not the change that a nine-year-old child in the upper city could show. She said: "We are now on the sixth floor, and there will indeed be more ore underground."

"But grandma said that the closer you are to the ground, the more serious the pollution will be. All monsters lurking underground."

"But I think the managers will still give those so-called 'monsters' food, and they will also give the managers ore." Lin Jie touched his chin, and urged in Hong's ear: "So they can communicate, If you cannibalize people, the manager will be the first to be eaten."

"The reason for not eating people is the witch!" Hong corrected loudly: "If they kill the holy manager, the tree witch will punish them."

Lin Jie thought for a while, the witch of the tree who had been sleeping for a long time and didn't care about anything, had actually been ruling the whole underground with silent majesty.

They are controlling everyone with their so-called religion.

Lin Jie glanced at the adults digging around, and his eyes fell on a few people who were whispering.

Even so, there are still a large number of rebels, and the Plague Church was probably born from this.

"Then if you also believe in the tree witch, those monsters won't kill you." Lin Jie continued: "Or, you don't believe in the tree witch?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Hong quickly retorted.

Lin Jie's simple aggressive method is still too easy to deal with a nine-year-old kid like Hong.

He followed Honglai through countless tunnels, continuing downwards, the rock formations gradually softened, and there was a danger of landslides anytime and anywhere, but those managers would not care about this, the members of the lower city would only be sinners.

And where the sin is, it is probably something in the mythology, it seems that the ancestors once associated with evil gods, and even ate the fruit of the tree witch's original tree.

These statements are too fragile, but in a place like Nuo Jin full of miracles of extraordinary people, these things are very credible.

Lin Jie knows better than anyone what the source of these people is, and why they became like this——

As early as before Nuojin was built, the distribution of classes had already appeared. Affected by the Youxing who arrived in Azir from the infinite universe, the kingdom of elves was destroyed immediately, and the place where Youxing slept was extremely rich in resources and resources. treasure.

In order to prevent Yuxing from destroying his family members, Baiyin sealed off the high magic world in the dream world.

The Life Witch is weak, but she thinks she can protect human beings, so she creates a human camp.

That was the original appearance of Nuo Jin. After the fall of the Witch of Life, human beings have no security and need more resources, and the underground where the evil gods sleep is the foundation of their survival.

To put it bluntly, human beings are too weak.

At that time, the so-called class also began to take shape, and the poor without rights and status were driven out of the surface and began to mine minerals.

The Life Witch desperately prevented humans from getting close to the evil god, but the human beings rushed towards the evil god without hesitation.

The mutation came very quickly, and the poor miners in the lower urban area began to show animalistic characteristics, that is, the current blue-green skin like a crocodile, tentacles with jaws that show teeth and claws, forked tongues, and strong limbs...

However, the voices of opposition were suppressed, and the people in the upper city simply drew a clear line from the mutant race in the lower city. They were not regarded as human beings, but tools like cattle and horses. in exchange for resources.

Humans are always very good at this... Lin Jie mocked in his heart, but when he looked down and saw Hong Xiaoxiao's back, he suddenly recalled her scolding.

Lin Jie really became very indifferent... He clenched his fists and told himself not to be like this.

The method of blocking the access to the lower city by force in the upper city did not work.

This kind of life cannot last long, and lies have become the best method. Under the name of the tree witch, the "sinner theory" of the will to rule the lower city is rampant in the world.

That was also the so-called only time to use the power of the tree witch.

Used to suppress the residents of the Lower City.

Also because of this suppression, the judgment of "the original sinner" has completely taken root in the hearts of every downtown resident, and at the same time castrated their thoughts.

Lin Jie silently followed Hong to a large well with few people.

"From here, we can go to the fifth floor, the fourth floor, the third floor..." Hong said, the sound echoed in the well, and there was no echo from the mouth of the well, perhaps because it was too deep.

But in the well, there was an exaggerated rancid smell like silk thread, like the mouth of an evil beast.

Hong looked at the mouth of this huge well with a complicated expression, Lin Jie felt that he could not see through this child if he did not activate his omniscient ability.

"The lower you go, the more ore you get, but the more serious the pollution..." Hong frowned.

But... the closer I am to myself... Lin Jie thought silently in his heart.
