Personality V: I will save everything

After a detailed explanation, Bai seemed to gradually understand and accept this setting.

Despite this, he was still full of curiosity about this novel concept and couldn't help asking, "So, in your world, is there also someone exactly like me?"

The question made Joseph think for a moment, and then he replied: "Indeed, but in that world, your name is not Bai, but Eli Clark."

However, compared to talking about things in the other world, Joseph was more concerned about Bai's reaction when he saw him before.

So, he continued, "I'm still very curious. Why did you run away as soon as you saw me? Am I such a terrifying existence in this world?"

This question made Bai feel a little embarrassed because he really didn't know how to answer it.

If we look at it from the perspective of the game, then Mr. Joseph in this world is probably an absolute villain, right?

But how could such words be said? After all, such an evaluation would undoubtedly be a great harm to Joseph.

But seeing Bai's hesitation, Joseph probably already guessed it. Come on, he wasn't really a 20-year-old. He was almost a hundred years old. How could he not have this little experience? He could guess it from the expressions and reactions of the people around him.

the other side,

After settling Norton, Carl, and Victor, Kevin set out on the road to the mine alone. He was full of curiosity and eager to find out why Wick was barking crazily at the mine.

From a scientific perspective, Kevin believes this may be because animals have more acute senses than humans. Wick may have noticed some subtle changes or abnormalities that humans cannot perceive, which is why he behaves so abnormally.

However, if one were to think from a more horrifying and supernatural perspective, then perhaps there was some kind of monster hidden within the mine tunnel. However, Kevin himself would never believe this.

After all, he had seen creatures that were much more terrifying than monsters (at this moment, Norton, who was resting, suddenly sneezed loudly), so how could he be afraid of a mere monster?

That said, there have been some recent, rather bizarre incidents at this mine. Miners have reported that some individuals have suddenly collapsed without warning during mining. This phenomenon has drawn the attention of mine management, who quickly launched an investigation, but have yet to determine the exact cause.

Due to these bizarre fainting incidents, the miners have developed a fear of the mine and are afraid to work there again. As a result, only a few people are left working there, with only a few left to perform final checks. It's already late, night has already fallen, and the mine is completely deserted, a dead silence.

However, this happened to give Kevin a great opportunity to explore the mine alone. Kevin thought that perhaps in this quiet environment, he could find some clues that others had overlooked and uncover the truth of the mysterious incident in the mine.

Kevin cautiously entered the mine, lighting his tool in hand, observing his surroundings with vigilance. The mine was filled with a damp atmosphere, and the rock on the wall looked a little mottled, as if telling of the vicissitudes of time.

Kevin walked forward step by step, and with each step he could hear his footsteps echoing in the mine. Suddenly, he felt a strange breath coming towards him, and he couldn't help but shudder. Just as he wanted to take a closer look, his vision suddenly went black and he lost consciousness...

After an unknown amount of time, Kevin slowly opened his eyes and found himself back in the tent. He looked around in confusion and saw Norton looking down at him.

"You're awake, Kevin. Do you know you almost suffocated?" There was a hint of concern in Norton's voice.

But it was more of a mockery.

Kevin pretended not to hear, "What's wrong with me?"

"You actually inhaled so much methane that it led to a severe lack of oxygen in your body, ultimately causing you to fall into a coma. If we hadn't noticed your sudden disappearance and speculated that you might have gone exploring the mines alone out of curiosity, and hadn't rushed to find you, I'm afraid you would have already become a cold corpse by now!"

Norton shook his head helplessly, secretly wondering, how could this person be so reckless? Even if he was full of curiosity about the mine, he should never take the risk alone!

After all, in a place full of unknowns and dangers, one more person means one more safety guarantee.

If I had been able to bring a group of people to explore together, even if we really encountered any unexpected situation, we would be able to take care of each other and not be isolated and helpless like we are now.

"Methane?" Kevin repeated blankly, as if the word was completely unfamiliar to him.

Indeed, for a cowboy running freely on the prairie, his life seemed far away from scientific knowledge. Kevin was more concerned with how to control his horses, how to track prey, and how to survive on the prairie.

In contrast, Norton seemed more knowledgeable. He looked at Kevin's reaction and felt a little helpless, but he was too lazy to explain too much to him.

"Methane is a flammable gas," Norton said simply, then pulled out a bottle from his side. The bottle contained the same gas that he had poured into the wall when he found Kevin.

Norton held the bottle in front of Kevin so that he could clearly see the gas inside. However, Kevin's attention did not seem to be fully focused on the bottle, and his mind seemed to be still stuck on a previous question.

"Hey, Kevin, didn't you notice?" Norton raised his voice, trying to get Kevin's attention.

The mine tunnel was filled with thick methane gas, so abundant it seemed to be gushing out from the cracks in the walls. If Kevin had paid a little attention to his surroundings, he might have heard the slight hissing sound of methane leaking from the cracks. However, Kevin clearly had no time to pay attention to any of this at the moment; his attention was completely focused on other things.

Norton stood aside, holding a bottle of methane in his hand. Since methane is lighter than air, he decided to place the bottle mouth downwards, which would make it easier for the methane to remain in the bottle.

He carefully uncorked the bottle and inserted a match into the opening.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, a blazing fire suddenly erupted from the bottle. However, what was surprising was that the bottle was clearly empty, without any visible substance. The flames ignited in an instant, as if cast by magic.

Fortunately, the methane content in the bottle was not enough to cause an explosion, so the sudden fire lasted only a moment. The flames were like a flash of fire and quickly extinguished, leaving only a charred mark and a faint wisp of smoke.

"Now you understand what methane is, right?" Norton said proudly, with a hint of teasing in his voice. As he spoke, he blew gently on the hand that had just held the bottle, as if trying to relieve the pain from the flames.

Although the flame only existed for a moment, its high temperature still made Norton's hand feel hot. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured, but only slightly red on the back of his hand.

As expected, science is something that is put into practice, and the theories learned orally after graduation are much simpler and easier to understand.

"So Norton, you mean to say that I fainted because I inhaled that so-called false combustion (methane) gas." Kevin looked at Norton in disbelief, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

Norton nodded and explained seriously, "Yes, that's right. That gas is called methane. It's not only colorless and odorless, making it difficult to detect, but inhaling too much can lead to oxygen deprivation and suffocation, and in severe cases, it can even be life-threatening. You're lucky this time. We discovered you were missing in time, so we were able to find you quickly and rescue you."

Hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. If Norton and the others hadn't discovered his disappearance in time, he would probably have remained unconscious in that methane-filled place until he suffocated to death. The consequences would have been unimaginable.

But at the same time, Kevin also felt a little sorry for Norton.

"If that's the case, then your mine won't be operational for the time being. It's filled with that methane gas, and no one can get in for a while."
