1991 Proof _1
The air in the room seemed to have dropped to the freezing point again. It was frighteningly cold.
It was at this moment that the burning human wax began to wriggle and groan in pain.
their movements were very quiet, and could only be heard clearly in the dead of the night.
However, it was also because of this that he was even more horrified.
Of course, all of this did not affect Tang Zhen. After seeing everything in the house, he actually had a feeling that it was nothing much.
perhaps before my memory disappeared, I should have been in contact with these things often, so I didn’t find it strange? ”
This thought flashed across Tang Zhen’s heart. However, his face did not change as he continued to look at the skinny old man in front of him.
After entering the room, Tang Zhen had already made a rough judgment based on the information he had collected.
After the desperator entered the house, he would be challenged by the members of the family. Every time the desperator failed, he would have to pay a certain price.
The dwarves who had entered earlier were the best examples.
Because he had failed the challenge, many parts of his body were missing. His chopped off limbs had become a delicious meal for his family members.
Watching their own bodies being eaten was a scene that could make anyone collapse. As expected, this city of despair was filled with despair.
When the old woman and Tang Zhen gambled earlier, the bet was also his body. Clearly, they had used the same method.
She originally thought that she could win against Tang Zhen by relying on sinister means, but she did not expect Tang Zhen to directly cut off her head.
Tang Zhen’s actions might seem abrupt, but there was actually no problem with it. This was because he did not break any rules. Therefore, it was impossible for him to be punished.
If he made good use of the rules, even these strange things would not be able to do anything to him.
At this moment, the skinny old man had suggested a bet. This had also verified Tang Zhen’s guess. If he wanted to leave this house or get something else, he would have to beat the owner first.
Since this was the case, Tang Zhen naturally had to follow the rules and play this game first.
After seeing Tang Zhen nod his head in agreement, the skinny old man said in a cold voice,”I also have the most precious item, the thing you guys call the proof. It’s hidden somewhere in this room.
If you can find it, then you win. If you can’t find it, you win. He wanted to chop off his hands.
The time limit is also one minute. If you can’t do it, I will personally Cut Off Your Hands!”
As soon as the skinny old man’s voice fell, a white-faced child beside him tilted his head and looked at Tang Zhen with his black bean-sized eyes. An unclear voice came out of his mouth.
If one were to listen carefully, one would realize that he was counting down. However, because one of the dwarf’s limbs was stuffed in his mouth, he could not make a clear sound.
The skinny old man reached out and wiped the table. The knife that was originally on the plate was already picked up by him.
With a strange smile on his face, he gently scraped the edge of the plate with the knife, making an irritating grinding sound.
The emaciated lady’s eyes kept turning around. She sized up the furnishings in the room in an attempt to help Tang Zhen find the hidden certificate.
As long as they obtained the proof, she and Tang Zhen would be able to leave this place and would no longer have to endure this strange atmosphere that caused one’s scalp to feel numb.
However, the emaciated woman had never seen such a certificate before. She didn’t know what it looked like, and she didn’t know where it was hidden.
There was only a short one minute. How could he find it?
The emaciated woman’s heart was burning with anxiety, and the dwarf also had a look of despair on his face. He had not answered the question before, so he became like this.
In fact, the dwarf should be grateful to Tang Zhen. If Tang Zhen had not appeared in time, he might have become a human stick at this moment.
At that time, if he had answered one more question incorrectly, the price he had to pay would be his internal organs or his head.
Tang Zhen’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the skinny old man who was using a table knife to rub his plate and the child who was counting down with his head tilted.
It was impossible to search the entire room in just a minute, so he was sure that the item was not hidden in a remote and secret place.
If he wanted to continuously attract despairing people to look for evidence, it was impossible to set a situation where he would definitely die. There must be a chance of survival.
In addition, the thin elder had just said that the voucher was his most precious item. It was most likely that the item was on him.
However, the skinny old man’s request was that Tang Zhen must find evidence. It was probably impossible for him to just guess. He must obtain it!
Tang Zhen’s gaze landed on the skinny old man when he thought of this. He wanted to find out what was wrong with his body.
The corner of the skinny old man’s mouth was lifted when he saw Tang Zhen’s gaze landing on him. He revealed a disdainful smile.
The knife in his hand was still scraping the edge of the plate, but the rhythm seemed to have accelerated a little.
Tang Zhen did not care about these. Instead, he continued to stare at the skinny old man. A glint seemed to flash across his eyes.
Just as he was staring at the man, he suddenly felt a strange aura coming from the man’s body.
This aura was very familiar to him, but he couldn’t remember what it was. However, when he glanced at the thin woman next to him from the corner of his eye, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
“I see!”
The corner of Tang Zhen’s mouth revealed a smile. It was also at this moment that the child’s countdown was only left with ten.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven luminaries ring”
Seeing that the time was about to end, Tang Zhen’s hand was extended forward like lightning and headed straight for the skinny old man.
The skinny old man subconsciously dodged to the back when he saw this. At the same time, the knife in his hand stabbed toward Tang Zhen.
His actions were still too slow. He had just raised the table knife when Tang Zhen’s palm was like a hot iron being inserted into butter, instantly cutting through his chest.
Tang Zhen grabbed the skinny old man’s heart and forcefully pulled it out under his horrified gaze.
“You coward!”
The table knife of the thin old man fell to the ground. One of his hands clutched his chest while the other hand was raised powerlessly and pointed at Tang Zhen with a trembling hand.
At this moment, Tang Zhen’s hand was holding a strange-looking heart. It looked like an octopus with its head split open and was constantly squirming and struggling.
Wrapped in the octopus’s body and tentacles, there was a round object that looked like a coin. A series of numbers were cast on it with hieroglyphs.
He didn’t need to guess to know that this item that was neither gold nor wood was the so-called certificate, which was equivalent to the currency of the city of despair.
“How did you find out?”
The skinny old man’s breathing was weak, and his expression was filled with unwillingness.
Other than this, there was also a dense puzzlement in his eyes. He seemed to be unable to understand how Tang Zhen guessed that the proof was in his heart.
Tang Zhen naturally would not tell the other party that he had sensed a trace of an unusual aura from the skinny old man. This was the reason why he was able to determine the location of the proof.
Of course, Tang Zhen could not be 100% sure before he took it out. However, as long as he had 50% confidence, he could give it a try.
The facts had proven that Tang Zhen’s judgment was completely correct.
Looking at the unwilling eyes of the skinny old man, Tang Zhen kept the receipt in his pocket and then shook his head.
do you want to know? it’s a pity that I won’t tell you, so that you won’t be satisfied even if you die …
The skinny old man’s eyes widened and he spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard Tang Zhen’s reply.
Then, his arm drooped down, and his head fell on the plate in front of him. Just like the old woman on the plate next to him, his eyes were full of unwillingness.
