The Little King Next Door

"You don't have to be afraid of me, I won't hurt you." Perhaps because he had reached his own territory, the ghost let go a lot, and his voice was full of smiles.

"Lian Sheng? Grandpa Lian?" Wang Ye asked cautiously.

Lian Sheng smiled: "It's me."

"Why are you scaring me?" Wang Xiaoye asked angrily, as if relying on the presence of someone around her, she became more courageous.

"Scare you? No, I like you very much when I see you. I can see from what you do that you are a good boy. I want to talk to you."

Wang Ye: ... In his previous life and this life, it was the first time he heard someone say he was a good boy, embarrassing.

"Is the conical stone house in the pool related to you?" Wang Ye asked.

Lian Sheng smiled and admitted: "Yes, it's a pity that you are a cautious child. I invited you, but you ran away."

"You call that an invitation?" Wang Ye was speechless: "Take a look at an ordinary child, and you will be scared to death. Don't talk about children, adults can also scare you."

"So until now, only Da Zhuang lived in the cellar of my house, and he can still come here." Lian Sheng said quietly.

Wang Ye narrowed his eyes. Judging from this person's tone, he really doesn't look like a good ghost who is dedicated to protecting the weak. Even if he has this heart, he doesn't protect everyone.

In addition to the strong and weak children in Thanksgiving Village, there are also many children who unfortunately disappeared or died. I have not seen this ghost come out to save people.

"You...are you actually regretting it?" Wang Ye said abruptly.

Lian Sheng was not even angry, and replied to Wang Ye: "It's not regret, it's just anger."

Wang Ye: "Angry at those guards and prisoners who didn't help you, but instead helped the warden to abuse you? Angry at those people who just watched you and your lover and child die tragically, but did nothing? Angry at those people who are weak and sad, they can't even save themselves Don’t want to? Angry at the inherently selfish, cruel and cold nature of human beings?”

Lie Cang, who was walking in the front, didn't seem to notice anything.

Lei Mu noticed something, his eyes were shining, and he was scanning around with ophthalmology, focusing on Wang Ye's side.

Wang Yejiao firmly held Lei Mu's hand.

Lei Mu shook back.

Lian Sheng actually admired: "You really are not an ordinary child, your fear of ghosts is all a fake, right?"

Lian Sheng really liked Wang Ye, even if the child didn't respect his words, he didn't feel bad for Wang Ye because of it.

Wang Ye was not interested in answering this obvious question, and asked again: "Did you know that there are parasites on the island? Why didn't you tell the islanders earlier?"

"Do you think I didn't tell you?" Lian Sheng sneered: "But except for one person, no one believed me. But the person who believed in me... was killed by me."

A message quickly flashed in Wang Ye's mind: "Is that person the previous warden?"

"How do you know?" Lian Sheng asked back.

Wang Ye: "I overheard the conversation between the mutant Eugene and the current warden. He mentioned that the former warden was the first person to be parasitized by the parasites. At that time, the parasites were not ready to parasitize humans, but you told me After learning about the former warden’s parasites, and someone missing in the village, the former warden was a very responsible person, so he went into the caves to search, and he wanted to find the king worms and nests of the parasites. Parasite parasites, am I right?"

Lian Sheng was silent, and replied after a while: "Yes."

"Except for this former warden, you didn't tell anyone else about the parasites?"

"Xingarie was parasitized. He told me when he could still maintain his self-awareness, let me not tell others about the parasites, because whoever I tell will be parasitized or killed. Parasitism The Zerg will not allow anyone to leak the news, if I don't say it, he can find a way to send out the non-prisoners on the island in batches."

"No. Are you such an easily intimidated person?" If Lian Sheng was such a person, he wouldn't have secretly conspired with other people to rebel against the then warden.

Lian Sheng suddenly let out a weird laugh: "Child, you really understand me. Yes, I just figured it out. I observed the social structure of the parasites and observed their lives. I found that the parasites are in order. Although There are also cruel survival competitions and the weak and the strong, but they will not obey others, will not set their own ways in person, will not betray, and will not deliberately bully the weak. They are also united and extremely united. This race is also full of wisdom. They They are not inferior to humans at all, if they can have human bodies, they will become a better race. Selfish and indifferent human beings can't compare with them!"

Wang Ye: "If you really thought so, you wouldn't teach Lie Cang... Da Zhuang."

Lian Sheng was silent again.

Wang Ye had roughly deduced Lian Sheng's mental state, and this one was actually distorted and contradictory.

Lian Sheng's deep-rooted three views in his subconscious made him unable to sit back and watch the parasites harm humans, but because of the death of his lover and children, he felt cold and selfish towards the indifference and selfishness of the guards and prisoners on the island, and this coldness also extended to All islanders and even the entire human race.

It may have been hard for him to make up his mind to tell the former prison warden Xin Jialie about the parasite tribe. Perhaps it was Xin Jialie who moved him?

As a result, Xin Jialie was parasitized by the parasites, and tragically insisted on self-awareness for a whole year.

During this year, Ghost Liansheng must have tried his best to save Xin Jialei, but all his efforts may have failed, and Xin Jialei's consciousness finally disappeared.

Lian Sheng was hit again. He once killed his lover and children because of his carelessness, and this time he killed a good warden because of his "nosy".

Lian Sheng's heart became cold, and the warden Singer behind was tempted by the gold mine, and even began to resell bug egg pills, which made Lian Sheng further disappointed in human nature.

So Lian Sheng is conflicted. He wants to help humans, but he doesn't want to get close to them.

Lian Sheng, who has a distorted mentality, even adopts a distorted way to help others, such as opening the door of the wooden house in front of children and the weak who need help.

But this kind of help, timid people dare not approach.

Only a foolish and bold person like Lie Cang dared to really enter the wooden house, so as to get the help and cultivation of Lian Sheng.

"Okay, don't talk about me. Now that you have discovered the parasites and hired mercenary guilds to deal with them, then kill them while they are sick, and I will tell you where the king worm and the worm nest are. But you You must do me a favor too."

Lian Sheng found that he couldn't talk to this kid. Not only was this kid not as easy to fool as Da Zhuang, but he was also very sharp. A few questions and answers almost led an old ghost like him into the ditch.

Moreover, the young man next to this child is not a weak person, the other party's eyes seem to be able to see him, looking at his expression now, it seems that he really wants to destroy him?

"What's the matter? Don't say you have to when you come up, who knows if your job is difficult? If you ask me to help you resurrect and help you destroy all human beings, do I have to agree?" Wang Yeli said confidently.

Lian Sheng: "...Why did I think you were cute when I first saw you? There must be something wrong with my perception!"

Wang Ye suddenly thought that there seemed to be a buff on him, "Thanks to the Ghost Old Pirate", which would automatically increase his favorability by 5 points when facing ghosts.

No wonder the ghost is after him...

Lian Sheng was depressed, but he couldn't find anyone more worthy of his trust. His intuition told him: this child could help Xin Jialie.

reason?The reason, of course, is that this kid got the worm nest!

"You heard the mutant Eugene mention the former warden Xin Jialie, do you know what kind of person he is?" Lian Sheng tried to persuade the child to help him in another way.

Wang Ye shrugged: "I don't know, I don't understand."

Lian Sheng held back his anger and said as calmly as possible: "I have been on this island since the second warden. Xin Jialie is the best and most responsible warden I have ever met. Not only that, he is also a good man."

Lian Sheng then told Wang Ye:

25 years ago, Xin Jialei came to Prisoner Island and became the new warden. He spent five years changing a lot here, turning Prisoner Island from chaos and tyranny to order.

Male prisoners and female prisoners are all separated, and the well water does not interfere with the river water.Food supply became normal, recreational facilities increased, and prisoners had the opportunity to work and earn money.

Xin Jialei also took good care of some prisoners who committed minor crimes. He gathered the more peaceful and kind-hearted prisoners together, and separated the truly violent and vicious prisoners from the ordinary prisoners.

Prisoners and non-prisoners are clearly distinguished. People who are not prisoners will not be allowed to live in the prison area.

Xin Jialie also cared and sympathized with children, and specially built a village to house the descendants of the prisoners.

At that time, the village wasn’t called a nonsense Thanksgiving Village, but was jokingly called Maohai Village, which meant that most of the people living in this village were Maozi.

Xin Jialei also arranged for some men and women who had nowhere to go and had nowhere to go after their sentences to take care of their children.

Before Xin Jialei came, the children on the island lived in chaos. Some lived with the female prisoners, and some were driven to the male prison camp. These children are the bottom of the prisoner island. Well, if not, it will be extremely difficult for these children to grow up, and they will be easily destroyed and killed after they grow up.

But some female prisoners begged Xin Jialie, saying that the child was too young, and hoped that the child would grow up by her side before they separated.

Xin Jialie agreed, as long as the female prisoner is willing to support the children well, these children, male or female, can stay with their mothers until they are ten years old.

Xin Jialie also arranged some light jobs for children over the age of ten, such as cleaning the kitchen or doing some chores of washing and peeling, or helping the guards clean the dormitory, washing clothes and sheets, etc., so that they can earn money. Have some money with you.

He also asked the guards to take the children to hunt and fish on a regular basis, taught the children various survival skills, and let them learn some crafts such as woodworking, weaving, hunting, and cooking.

If these children want to leave the island, he will also ask the children to sign a waiver of voluntary departure, let them bring all their property, and leave with the visit ship that came to visit the prisoners.

Some children left, but most of them were afraid of the outside world and would rather stay.

At that time, many prisoners were unwilling to leave Prisoner Island after their sentences expired, preferring to live in Maohai Village on Prisoner Island.

Gradually, a village full of sunshine and hope appeared, and the atmosphere of Prisoner Island also changed, and everything became better and better.

When Lian Sheng said this, his emotions suddenly became agitated, and he said angrily: "But 20 years ago, when the current warden Singer arrived, Xin Jialei changed from the warden to the head of the warehouse management area."

Wang Ye pointed out: "At that time Xin Jialie should have been parasitized, right? Let the higher-ups send a new warden, it should be Xin Jialei's own request when he still has his own consciousness?"

"Yes, Xin Jialei is such a responsible person." Lian Sheng was in pain, and then began to vent his dissatisfaction with the new warden Xin Geer.

At the beginning, Singer still followed Singalie's arrangement, and did not make any major changes to the Prisoner Island, but officially named the Maohai Village as the Thanksgiving Village, and stipulated that all non-prisoners on the island, men and women over the age of 12 New regulations that must pay taxes.

But the general regulations have not changed, and Xingared is still there, and Xingared is particularly prestigious among the guards and prisoners. With his care, the non-prisoners and children on the island live fairly peacefully.

But seven years ago, as the new warden Singer discovered a gold mine, life on the island began to change.

The villagers of Thanksgiving Village obviously feel that life has not changed much, but they feel that it is getting harder and harder.

Villagers continue to disappear, children continue to disappear.

First, the prisoners were assigned to mine and smelt ore, and then the children in the village over the age of ten were also assigned new jobs.

It is not that the villagers of Thanksgiving Village did not resist, but as a result, a large number of people disappeared, and some people were directly arrested and turned into prisoners.

Some people wanted to leave, but the warden didn't even allow everyone to go to the seaside, and all boats were forcibly confiscated, let alone let people leave freely.

People in Thanksgiving Village are not prisoners, but they live the same life as prisoners.

The children of Thanksgiving Village have once again become the bottom of the island. If it is not for the concern about the future population, these children may die faster and more.

"If Singer hadn't come, if Singale had been the warden of the island, the island would never be what it is now!" Lian Sheng's voice was full of regret.

"Even if Xin Jialei is not parasitized by the parasites, as long as he is still Xin Jialei, he will definitely be able to dissuade Xin Jialei. Xin Jialei is different from me. He is a person with strong mobility. If he finds that he cannot dissuade Xin Geer, he will definitely take Singer directly, and the guards trust him, the prisoners love him, and everyone will help Singer."

Wang Ye tilted his head: "Xing Jialie is still alive?"

After Lian Sheng closed his voice, he said after a while, "Xing Jialie's situation is quite special. Come with me, and you will understand when you see it."

Lie Cang, who was walking in front, turned his head at this moment and said, "We're almost there, the place ahead is where Grandpa Lian lives now."

A conical stone house suddenly appeared in front of it.

But this time the stone house is not in the pool, but on the ground.

The surrounding rocks were very similar to the asbestos ore he had seen before, and this turned out to be an asbestos mine cave.

No, this cone house was not the one he had seen before.

Wang Ye's mind naturally floated the map of the karst caves he wrote down. Combined with the map he wrote down in his previous life, plus the exploration results of this life, and comparing the terrain on the ground, he found that this place is most likely to be on the other side of the island.

One side of Prisoner Island is very close to Trench Island, and there is only a [-]-meter-wide trench in the middle.

And their current side is the side farthest from Trench Island.

Wang Ye suddenly stopped, took out a piece of cloth and threw it to Lie Cang: "Wrap your nose and mouth." Talking is better than nothing.

Lie Cang didn't know why.

Wang Ye drew a circle on the entire mine space with his finger: "There is wind here, and asbestos mineral powder is everywhere. I told you just now that inhaling this stuff is harmful to the lungs."

Before Lie Cang could speak, Lian Sheng responded first: "It is harmful to humans, but is it also harmful to parasites?"

Wang Ye: "What do you mean?"

Lian Sheng didn't hide anything: "I chose to stay here because the parasites hate this place, and they don't even want to get close."

Wang Ye's eyes lit up. It was the first time he had heard that the parasites had such obviously annoying things.

Does asbestos mineral powder, or asbestos ore, have a great harmful effect on parasites?

If true, that's awesome!

In order to confirm this, Wang Ye called Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, I put something in, it may hurt you to some extent, can you test it for me? I will be very careful, and if I find that it is dangerous to you, I will immediately kill you." Get you out."

He also asked, but Xiaoguang disagreed, so he found another parasite.

Xiaoguang: "Hey!"

"Yes!" Isn't it just a second-level magic crystal?Wang Ye didn't expect Xiaoguang to be so straightforward, but he was reluctant.

"Feel it and tell me your true feelings." After all, it was his own bug, Wang Ye added: "Don't force it."

Xiaoguang: Hey!It will not force itself.

With one move, Wang Ye absorbed a lot of asbestos mineral powder into the insect nest, and put it into an isolation room alone.

Xiaoguang obeyed the order to fly to the isolation room, turned around and ran out as soon as he entered.

"Yeeeeeeeeee!" Hate, hate, hate!

Wang Ye felt distressed, next time this kind of thing should find other bugs.

"Xiaoguang, why do you hate Fa? Is it uncomfortable, or is it difficult to breathe, or is there any other feeling?"

Xiao Guang yelled angrily: "Hey! Breathing... tired, flying... tired. Hot! Bad thing!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'll treat you right now." Wang Ye gave Xiaoguang the use of endless life, and sent it back to the golden nest to rest, and rewarded it with a second-level magic crystal.

Xiaoguang's anger finally calmed down.

Wang Ye was so excited that he hugged Lei Mu: Come on, let us and the parasites hurt each other, and see who can't stand it first.
