American Comics: Becoming A Dimension Mephista Will Cause Trouble
Chapter 140 The Terrible Price Of Eternal Life, The Enemy’S Layout
There was a hint of haziness in Zhou Shijie's eyes: "At the beginning, the treasure box only showed its role in making people stronger, so although there were countless people competing for it among the people, it did not cause much impact."
"It wasn't until a few hundred years ago, during the Qianlong period, that a salt gang leader named Hong Xing emerged from the sky, seized the treasure box, and relied on the power given by the treasure box to develop his power more and more."
"Before Hong Xing was betrayed by his subordinates and was about to die, he actually used the treasure box to recover from his injuries and revived again."
"After experiencing this incident, Hong Xing began to hide his name, hid the treasure he had gained throughout his life, and stopped participating in all disputes in the world."
"When Hong Xing reappeared, it was already the Daoguang period. He released the treasure box and widely promoted the saying that the treasure box can make people invincible in the world. This triggered countless people in the world to fight for it, and finally caused bloodshed. It became a river, and there were corpses all over the place.”
"After that, Hong Xing took away the treasure box and disappeared again. When he appeared again, it was already the early years of the Republic of China. The development of science and technology at this time was already very scary.
Hong Xing did not dare to release the information about this treasure box at will, so he just restricted some greedy people and instigated them to fight for it. "
Hearing this, Peter immediately frowned and asked his own question: "Mr. Zhou, doesn't the treasure box you mentioned enable people to live forever? Since Hong Xing has already obtained eternal life,
Why does he still want to release the treasure box?"
There was a touch of sarcasm on Zhou Shijie's lips: "Peter, do you think eternal life can really ignore the laws of nature?"
Peter was stunned when he heard this: "It should... maybe... the laws of nature cannot affect eternal life..."
Regarding Peter's lack of confidence, Zhou Shijie laughed coldly: "If you want to live forever, you need to constantly consume it, but without replenishment, no matter how much life you have, it will be consumed and you will eventually die, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Peter instantly felt cold from the top of his head to his heels. At this moment, he felt as if he was in a freezer, and he couldn't help but tremble: "Mr. Zhou, what you said... said The thing is..."
Zhou Shijie's smile is still scary: "Yes, if you want eternal life, you have to use other people's lives to replenish it, that is to say, cannibalism!"
Peter took a deep breath, his pupils tightened, full of fear!
Originally, he thought the treasure box was some kind of artifact, but now it turns out that the treasure box is a demon from hell!
Moreover, he finally understood why Zhou Shijie had never wanted the treasure box to be known to the government. In addition to the temptation brought by eternal life, the life required for eternal life was enough to make them desperate for it!
Zhou Shijie slowly put away the sneer on his face: "Let's continue this story..."
"The harvest of life in the Republic of China was far less than that in the Daoguang period. Moreover, when Hong Xing finally recovered the treasure box, he met an archaeologist known as the 'Adventure King'. The two competed for the treasure box and eventually shared it. Share the life of this harvest.”
"Finally, Hong Xing snatched the treasure box back and disappeared again..."
After Peter heard this story, he turned his attention to Zhou Shijie. Especially the last paragraph, coupled with the other person's previous performance, made Peter have to doubt Zhou Shijie in front of him.
In fact, he is the Adventure King in the story.
Seeing Peter's eyes, Zhou Shijie smiled: "What? Do you think I am the Adventure King?"
Peter touched the back of his head in embarrassment: "After all, Mr. Zhou knows so many things, and it doesn't make sense if he has nothing to do with Adventure King.
Zhou Shijie nodded: "Yes, I am still a little scheming, which is good. However, I am not the Adventure King. The Adventure King is my grandfather. Although he got the life harvested that time, he also shared this time with Hong Xing. life, so it can only ensure that he lives a few more years, is strong, and ages slowly."
"He just passed away not long ago, and before he died, he told me these secrets and asked me to stop Hong Xing, because he calculated that Hong Xing would need to harvest life again soon, otherwise Hong Xing's life would be lost. It's over.
Hearing this, Peter finally understood and reacted. At the same time, he also had new questions: "If Hong Xing wants to harvest lives, it will definitely cause a big sensation, but why doesn't he go to those war-torn places? A good place to harvest life?”
…………Please give me flowers…………
In this regard, Zhou Shijie explained: "Because harvesting life is conditional, that is, people need to maintain their greed for the treasure box. Only by maintaining this darkness can it become a supplement to life! So, why should I do that? It’s because of this that you care about whether you can resist the desire for eternal life.”
"Furthermore, with your wisdom, you should understand that this condition will inevitably cause great turmoil. Although Hong Xing will try his best to avoid it, it is impossible for him not to take risks for the sake of eternal life."
Peter's expression became solemn: "Yes, Hong Xing's adventure will plunge the world into crisis. If the news about the treasure box is accidentally leaked, what consequences will it have?"
Zhou Shijie nodded: "It has been so many years. It is because my grandfather realized this that my grandfather tried his best to erase the few words that were recorded, making it difficult to see the records of the treasure box again."
Peter frowned deeply. He fully agreed with the Adventure King's behavior. Only by eliminating these traces can the world be better protected.
"So where is Hong Xing now? Has he started taking action?"
Zhou Shijie took a newspaper from the side and put it in front of Peter: "He didn't hide it at all, he almost appeared in front of others openly."
Peter looked down and saw the news report that Zhou Shijie was referring to: "Descendants of the Salt Gang, the Golden Mountains Left by Their Ancestors."
Peter exclaimed: "I remember this news. At that time, the media was hyping up this new wealthy businessman named Hong Hongxingxing!"
Zhou Shijie sneered: "Yes, Hong Hongxing, he didn't even bother to hide his name, so he chose such a ridiculous name.
After hearing this, Peter immediately realized the seriousness of the matter: "It seems that he has already made a plan, and he is very confident in this plan!"
Zhou Shijie added: "Moreover, he is so high-profile, obviously to attract us, so he must have prepared a trap for us."
Peter suddenly felt a headache: "Now we are in big trouble...".
