Footsteps approached, and soon, a shadow covered Xiao Kun, allowing him to finally see clearly the man who had caused him to stumble.
The gentleman's clothes have been replaced by a black sweater and a brown casual suit. The man looks about fifty years old or above, with short dirty gray-white hair, gray-white beard and eyebrows, and a pair of Xiaokun that he has never seen before.
Gray-white eyes.
"My guess is right." Before Xiao Kun could continue to observe, the man who was looking down at him suddenly spoke, his tone of contentment mixed with fanaticism, the corners of his mouth gradually opened and raised, and his voice could not suppress his excitement as he continued.
: "Your body is really magical and you woke up early."
"First of all, sir, I, what's wrong with me?" Actor Xiao Kun looked confused and asked weakly.
The man's expression and movement did not change, he continued to look down at the child for a while, then suddenly straightened up, raised his head and laughed "ha".
Looking down at the boy again, the man kept a smile on his face and looked at Xiaokun's confused expression with relish for a moment before shaking his head and saying: "It's okay, it's okay kid."
After saying that, the man turned around and came to stand in front of the long table on the right wall. While starting to tinker with some bottles and cans, he said without looking back: "Wait a moment, kid, you don't have to say anything.
Just wait for a while, and after a while, I will know everything I want to know from you."
The corner of Xiao Kun's left eye twitched, he put away the actor's expression on his face, looked sideways in the direction of the man, and felt a series of national curses in his heart.
Unable to see what the man was up to, the child had no choice but to say, "What on earth do you want to do to me?"
"Oh?" The man paused after hearing this, looked back at the boy, then continued to fiddle with the work at hand, and said at the same time: "It doesn't matter, you don't have to answer me anything now, after all, I won't treat you as a real 10-year-old
Children look at it.”
"How do you know I'm ten years old?" Xiao Kun's eyes flashed with confusion and he asked.
"There are many ways to let me know." The man did not answer, but said something absent-mindedly.
"Can I ask about my fate?" Xiao Kun continued to raise the topic: "Will I be in danger?"
"That depends on how much value I will get from you, kid." The man still said without looking back.
"Okay..." Taking a deep breath, Xiao Kun asked: "What do you want to know? Can you ask me directly? After all, sir, your actions make me very uneasy."
The man's movements finally stopped, and he was silent for a moment before continuing again. At the same time, he said calmly without looking back: "I want to know many things, but the most important one is about how to make people immortal."
"So..." At this point, the man finally looked back and said, "Son, will you tell me?"
"Eternal life?" Xiao Kun said with a confused look on his face: "Uh... I don't understand what you are talking about."
"Hmph..." The man chuckled lowly upon hearing this, shook his head slightly and said, "So, kid, don't bother me anymore. As long as it takes a while, I will get all the answers I want."
"But, I really don't know what you are talking about." Xiao Kun said very innocently.
The man didn't pay attention, but pulled a crucible in front of him from the side and lit it. Then he poured some liquid from bottles and jars into the crucible and started stirring.
After a while, the man stopped what he was doing, and while observing the liquid in the crucible, he said as if talking to himself: "In the face of time, the human body will eventually decay, and the soul will gradually become silent, but as long as the two are combined
If you are infinitely strengthened, you will definitely live forever. Apart from the legendary gods, there is only 'you know who'. That man originally said that he had achieved his goal, but it's a pity..."
"You know who? I know?" Xiao Kun continued to look confused after hearing this, and at the same time complained in his heart: "I know a ghost, I know..."
"So..." Xiao Kun sighed again and said helplessly: "Can you let me understand?"
"Wait a minute, oh, okay." The man said as he poured the blue liquid in the crucible into a test tube, took out a wooden stick from his pocket and touched the hot test tube.
Turning around, holding the test tube in one hand and the wooden stick in the other, the man walked up to Xiao Kun and slowly moved the hand holding the test tube closer to Xiao Kun's mouth.
"So what are you going to do? Can't you answer my question?" Xiao Kun said quickly, and then closed his mouth tightly.
"Huh huh huh..." Shen laughed, and the man did not try to open the child's mouth. Instead, he poured the liquid in the test tube directly onto Xiao Kun's chin.
Xiao Kun's eyes suddenly opened wide, his closed mouth opened involuntarily, and he felt that his jaw and tongue were quickly becoming numb.
Before he was completely numb, Xiao Kun struggled to say the last words: "What on earth are you going to do!"
Looking at Xiao Kun's weakly opened mouth, the man observed for a moment, then nodded with a satisfied smile, took back the test tube, turned around and walked back to his previous position.
As he walked, the man said: "Don't worry, kid, it's just to make the next thing easier."
Putting the remaining half of the test tube of medicinal solution in the test tube rack, the man turned around and walked back, while staring at the child and saying: "The unusual physical strength, the clothes that don't fit the body shape, the cracks on the wall, and... that
The last fist that fell on me..."
The man leaned forward suddenly, his eyes staring into Xiao Kun's pupils became fanatical, and his tone gradually became excited as he said: "I want to know the answer to all this! Perhaps, you are the real ladder for me to embark on the road to immortality!"
After saying that, regardless of Xiao Kun's reaction, the man straightened up, took out a small porcelain bottle from his jacket pocket, and preciously sucked three drops of colorless liquid from the porcelain bottle using the straw that served as the mouth of the bottle.
Looking at Xiao Kun again, the man dripped the liquid into Xiao Kun's mouth, which was completely out of control, and said slightly gently: "Don't be afraid, kid. This is not poison. It was just to prevent accidents. After all, this thing is very difficult to get."
Yeah, I don’t want to waste even a drop of it.”
After taking back the straw and covering the porcelain bottle, the man shook the porcelain bottle in front of Xiao Kun's angry eyes, and then put it back in his pocket.
Walking to the wooden table on the wall again, the man picked up another crucible and continued tinkering with bottles and jars. At the same time, he said: "Be patient a little longer, kid, you will be able to speak again soon, and you will tell me everything, right?"
"
"Yes."
Xiao Kun didn't make a sound because his mouth was dysfunctional, but he responded involuntarily in his heart.
The next moment, Xiao Kun seemed to understand everything and his eyes widened in disbelief...
