After a little naughty moment, Wu Xie's eyes seemed to burst into flames...
Ding Ze was not stupid, he decided to stop when he saw the situation, moved his eyes, looked at the mummy again, put away the smile on his face, pretended to be serious, and changed the topic.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
"It's not difficult to get the answer to whether those things we saw before are all monkeys. We only need to pry the masks off the faces of a few mummies to find out."
"You two, don't move for now. I'll figure this out."
Ding Ze said, without any ink, he picked up the black gold dagger and flicked it around.
It won't take a while.
As five consecutive masks were pried off by the black gold dagger, the faces of the mummies appeared one after another...
The answer is out.
These mummies include monkeys and humans, and most of them are monkeys.
Face this answer.
"What the hell, this---this is too evil," Old Itchy said first, cursing, "What is this? Some of the things we encountered before were really--
--Are they really human?"
"But, how can humans be so flexible? And why are humans wearing such masks?"
Lao Itch was confused and asked questions one after another.
Wu Xie frowned with a solemn expression, staring at the human mummy beside him without saying a word.
Ding Ze, who had returned to the two of them at this time, glanced at Wu Xie, thought for a moment, and deliberately pretended to think for about ten seconds. Then, acting like he suddenly realized something, he said to Lao Itchi
.
"There is a high probability that this is the case."
"As for how people can be so flexible and why they wear such masks... In my opinion, such issues are not the focus right now."
Lao Itch: "????Then what is ---- the point?"
Ding Ze heard that, considering that he had plenty of time, and besides, it would take some time to explain this matter...
He did not answer immediately, but took out cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to Lao Chu and Wu Xie respectively, and then lit one himself before speaking out.
"The point is, my previous guess that those masked things are the guardians of this bronze tree, now it seems that I was a little wrong!"
Ding Ze said, exhaling a puff of smoke, "Because, obviously, these mummies have only been here for a hundred years at most. Otherwise, in this environment, they would not be so complete, and they should all have disappeared long ago.
It’s better to get it clean.”
"This means that these mummies themselves should have nothing to do with the ancient She Kingdom."
Lao Itch asked: "???? Then they showed up here, right?"
Ding Ze didn't show off and moved his mouth, preparing to answer.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wu Xie, who had been silent for a while, suddenly took the lead and made a voice.
"Coincidence!" Wu Xie said such a word in a heavy and cold tone.
When Ding Ze heard this, he was really surprised at this moment. After all, he was just about to say it was a coincidence.
'Interesting, looking at Wu Xie's performance, he understands it,' Ding Ze thought, 'then let him perform.'
With this in mind, Ding Ze decisively decided to give the limelight to Wu Xie. He held a cigarette in his mouth and smiled lightly at Wu Xie, "Wu Xie, have you figured it out?"
Wu Xie nodded lightly, "I almost understand."
As soon as the words left my mouth.
"Hey, hey, what are you two talking about? What does coincidence mean?" Lao Itch, who didn't understand, asked anxiously with a puzzled look on his face.
Ding Ze smiled and did not answer Lao Chu, "Wu Xie, tell me?"
"Well," Wu Xie responded, took a sip from his cigarette, and explained to Lao Chu, "The coincidence means that these monkeys and people here, as well as the things that attacked us before, are most likely to be Chinese after coming here.
After doing this, a strange mask appeared on his face."
Old Itch: “!!!”
Lao Itch raised his eyebrows and understood something, "You mean, there is some kind of mechanism in this place? If you trigger the mechanism, your face will be...
Being masked?”
"Well," Wu Xie nodded, "Look carefully, the masks on the faces of these monkeys and people are basically embedded in the flesh of their faces."
"From this point of view, it is almost impossible for them to put on the mask voluntarily."
"Moreover, the mouths and eyes of these masks are sealed... No matter whether it is a monkey or a human, as long as you wear this kind of mask, you will be unable to eat, and you are destined to die soon."
"So, it shouldn't be wrong."
"This kind of mask is most likely made by people from the ancient She country. It is the real guard of this place. It is a very terrifying defensive measure."
Wu Xie said this in one breath.
Lao Itch: "..."
After hearing this, Lao Itch was speechless for a while. His eyes moved slightly and he looked at the mask on the chest of the mummy beside him. He looked at it silently for a while before speaking again.
"Old Wu, I--how do I--feel that your explanation is nonsense."
"According to what you --- you mean, the --- those things we encountered --- encountered before, whether they are monkeys --- monkeys or humans, when they wear --- put on masks, they...
They are all alive, and---not dead, they can all move, right?"
"Well, let's not talk about people for the time being, let's just talk about monkeys."
"No matter whether the monkey is in a tree or on the ground, it is very flexible and can run very fast."
"Then, what kind of mechanism can forcibly put the mask on the face of a living monkey? Moreover, it can also make the mask put on...
The masked monkey is going crazy and attacking us?"
Lao Chi retorted, and the disbelief in his words was extremely clear.
Hear the words.
Wu Xie didn't say anything immediately, but looked at the mask on the chest of the mummy beside him with a serious expression.
See Wu Xie's reaction.
'It seems that Comrade Wu Xie's imagination is not big enough. He didn't expect the mask to move on its own.'
Ding Ze guessed that it should be like this, so after thinking for a while, he decided to give some guidance, and then reached out and used the black gold dagger to flip the mask on the chest of the mummy beside him, so that Wu Xie and Lao Itch could see the inside of the mask and the position of the mouth.
There is a small hole, the size of a fist, like a spiral protrusion of a snail shell.
Then, he pretended to look at the protrusions on the snail shell for a few seconds.
Having pretended enough, Ding Ze pointed at the bulge on the snail shell and reminded Wu Xie.
"Wu Xie, actually the answer to Lao Itch's question is right in front of you."
"You might as well try to think boldly and think freely."
