There is no guarantee for the lottery? So what?

#348 - Chapter 348 Interrogation Part 2

"How is that possible? Although it has reason to suspect we might be deceiving it, don't forget that besides telepathy, I can also hypnotize."

"That's true. Even though you're timid, you're still good at hypnotism."

Xiao Xin resented Aunt Cui because she had accidentally hypnotized him, causing him to reveal his embarrassing little secrets in public.

"Hurry up and ask it, what else does this guy know?"

"Okay, I'll ask."

Aunt Cui closed her eyes for the third time.

Qi Jing looked at the Groto, a simian from the Azure Cave Clan, on the other side of the transparent wall, and felt that this guy was hiding something.

"Senior Uncle, is there any way to bypass hypnosis?"

"Yes, the simplest is to modify memories, and also to directly change one's subconscious, fooling one's own brain. What, you don't trust this guy either?"

Xiao Xin also sensed that this Groto was not right. Perhaps they really had formation techniques to modify or seal memories.

"Well, maybe everything he said is true, but there are always some hidden things he hasn't revealed."

Qi Jing never dared to underestimate his intuition.

Xiao Xin waved his hand:

"Never mind him. After we get to the Alien Management Department, if he behaves himself, that's fine. But if he dares to make any trouble, he'll suffer."

The Alien Management Department is not just a place to manage surrendered aliens. There are also those captured prisoners of war. They have both soft and hard methods, and there are ways to make him talk.

Qi Jing quietly asked in a low voice:

"Senior Uncle, how old is Granny Cui?"

If Senior Uncle Xiao Xin calls her Aunt Cui, then it should be fine for me to call her Granny, right?

If I want to use her as a reference for the lottery later, I need to figure out what to call her first, so I can be polite. Otherwise, the whole scene will be awkward.

Xiao Xin covered his stomach and laughed loudly:

"Granny Cui, hahaha, you're killing me! Hahahaha!

I call her Aunt Cui only because she's my aunt, my actual aunt. Actually, she's only a few years older than me. You can just call her Aunt Cui too.

Don't think she looks older than me, it's just because of my ability. I just don't age as fast as her."

If the age difference between them wasn't so small, would she be so impolite, glaring and arguing all the time?

It's all Grandma's fault, why did she have to have a third child? This third child is almost the same age as her granddaughter, and she still insisted on having it.

She shouldn't have let those advertisements about "Ability users in short supply," "Responding to the call of the times," "Great opportunities are right in front of you," and "Early birth, early longevity" reach her ears.

Besides, if she was going to have it, why not have it later? Why wasn't I the older sister!

Wait, if I was born earlier, wouldn't I have to call someone younger than me 'Aunt'? Wouldn't that be even more unacceptable?

Just as Xiao Xin was complaining that her mother hadn't stopped her mother, Aunt Cui opened her eyes:

"It told me the general history of its race.

A long, long time ago, they still lived on land, where they could see the sun and the moon in the sky."

Xiao Xin interrupted again, complaining: "It's getting more and more long-winded. Can you see the sun but not the moon?"

"Artistic conception, this is called artistic conception! Are 'There are two jujube trees in front of your house' and 'One jujube tree, and the other is also a jujube tree' the same?"

"Got it, got it, just tell your part, stop talking nonsense."

Aunt Cui cleared her throat:

"Their world was very big, very big. Besides the forests, there were grasslands, streams and springs, and great rivers.

Only later, floods often erupted in the mountains, but they didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a very ordinary natural disaster, and simply migrated to higher mountains.

Suddenly one day, some creatures they had never seen before appeared in their world, launching attacks against them, and possessing all kinds of abilities. They couldn't defeat them at all and could only run away.

But in the process of fleeing, they discovered that the place where they used to live had been submerged by the sea, and they realized the fact that the land was getting smaller and smaller, while the sea was getting bigger and bigger.

So, the wise leader of the clan issued an order to burrow into the ground, using underground plants to ensure survival.

And then they never went out again."

Aunt Cui stopped here.

"That's it?" Xiao Xin asked.

"There's more, let me organize my words."

After a while, Aunt Cui continued:

"They slowly got used to the underground life, and even if they couldn't see the sun and the moon, they could live well.

It's just that all the land outside had been submerged, and they couldn't get out even if they wanted to.

Then, one day, a white wall of light slowly swept through the caves where they lived, giving all the Azure Cave Clan people living in that era magical abilities, but also bringing their enemies.

Those large spiders brutally attacked their caves, occupied their territory, and fortunately, a clansman who had gained powerful abilities temporarily resisted them, otherwise the race would have been destroyed at that time.

The surviving clansmen established a defense line and began to take stock of the gains and losses brought by this light curtain.

Although all the clansmen had gained abilities, most of them were killed, and only two people's abilities were barely useful.

One allowed the clansmen to grow hard scales, and the other left behind Azure Cave Crystals.

The scales could make their combat power stronger and better adapt to the underground life; the Azure Cave Crystals replaced plants, becoming their food and oxygen supply source, and could also create various convenient tools.

But because the production of Azure Cave Crystal mines was too slow, they could not expand their population, break through the blockade of those enemies, and could only huddle in the ground, living a harsh life."

"Is that all this time?"

"That's all."

"Really all?"

"Really all."

In fact, Aunt Cui also wanted to ask a little more, but the other party was already tired and had fallen asleep.

The consumption of telepathy is not that great, but this guy just woke up and didn't have much physical strength. It was beyond her expectations that he could persist in saying so much.

"So, they were originally a race on land, but later the sea level rose, so they escaped to live underground."

Xiao Xin concluded:

"That white wall of light that swept over them should be the interdimensional gate, bringing them into another world and giving them abilities.

But all that could be passed down was that body of scales and the exquisite craftsmanship of Azure Cave Crystals.

Wait, just now it said the word 'swept,' which means the larger the interdimensional gate, the faster it expands!

Judging from the expansion speed of the interdimensional gate that they are observing now, it is absolutely impossible to use the word 'swept.'

So, the expansion speed of the interdimensional gate in the later stage will increase as the interdimensional gate becomes larger, or it will become very fast after a certain point in time.

Damn, it seems that the thousand-year plan has to be shortened!"
