The two faces on the back of the head looked at Jenkins, not knowing what to say.
Jenkins wasn't exactly the "nice guy" they thought he was.
"Now, let me just say the last time, how much do you know about this place? How much do you know about this nasty snake here? Have you ever seen a terrible worm? What kind of souls are there in those metal cocoons on it? "
The miners and conductors lived 12 years ago and 7 years ago respectively, that is, the era when Jenkin did not come. The two came here directly after they died, and were trapped in the cocoon, and the cocoon would periodically enter the magma, allowing the crazy demons to extract soul nourishment, but it also protected the souls of those sinners from being extracted clean at once .
Jenkins originally thought that these metal cocoons were the work of the Difference Engine. After all, the cocoons themselves are metal, but in fact they are tools of the demons.
The two souls also gained some knowledge during the time of being trapped. When they were sucked by the demon, they got some information about this place from the crazy demon through the contact of the soul.
Those metal cocoons are something similar to "food containers" cast from a special devil alloy. These metals can make the soul in them stronger regardless of the consequences. Although this will cause the soul to mutate, deform or even completely collapse, the devil doesn't care about these.
In other words, the two people Jenkins met had symptoms of split souls. On the one hand, it was because they were exposed to untouchable powers because of the "tragedy of the times" when they were alive, and on the other hand, they were instilled by the power of demons after death. And make the soul a problem.
This is the two people's understanding of this place. Although those metal cocoons are not transparent, they are not soundproof either. They could always hear the babblings of mad demons in their dreams and the roars in the magma, but they couldn't hear what was happening outside.
Therefore, the two could not tell Jenkins the origin of the snake, let alone whether there was a big worm here.
"Maybe others will know. The souls here are not only people like us, but also some ancient and powerful guys."
The conductor reminded in a low voice that he didn't want Jenkins to ask any more questions.
Jenkins sniffed:
"Then what's the matter with the smell of burning exhaust in your cocoons? This is a unique smell in Nolan City. Why do you have it?"
"It's for nourishing the soul."
"Nourishes the soul?"
"Yes, the black ash you see can penetrate into the soul of a person, making the soul strong... tearing and mutating."
Jenkins was not surprised that these things produced by the difference engine had such an effect, but was just surprised that the demons in [Magma Hell] were so advancing with the times and able to obtain such things from the material world.
"Who is in charge? Are there guards here? You can probably see that this is a prison for crazy demons."
"This area is much larger than you think. There are guards, but it doesn't know where."
The Paradox is just a small piece of space fragments, so the actual area cannot cover the entire range mentioned by the two of them. The guard in charge of guarding here is probably not in the Paradise.
Thinking of this, Jenkins looked suspiciously at the snake. Hearing the sound of bubbling magma below getting louder and louder, he looked up again at the hundreds of metal cocoons hanging above.
Under the rules of Weirdland, if he dared to shoot down all the cocoons at once, then Weirdland might dare to die with him. So he can only choose one more, and try to see if there is someone who is fully aware of the situation here.
He didn't choose immediately, but looked at the two souls:
"Since you have told me the information, I can send you out of here. But where you are going next is not up to me."
"As long as you leave here, you can go anywhere!"
Both of them said that, and they were really terrified of this terrifying place.
Let the souls of the conductor and the miner sit together, Jenkins holds the cross in his right hand, and points the skull faces between the horizontal and vertical crosses at them, and presses his left hand on the back of his right hand to keep his hand stable:
"Praise the inheritance sage, praise the end of death."
He said in a low voice. On the one hand, this sentence means that he has not changed his beliefs, and on the other hand, he hopes to get help from the god of death. Be sure to pay attention to the sequence, otherwise it may cause trouble.
Tried to activate this alchemy item:
"Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, what should go, don't stay."
The cross in his hand turned into brown dust and scattered all over the ground from Jenkins' hands. He shook his hands, but the two souls in front of him were still there.
But nothing happened, they all observed that the color of the soul was fading, turning into some light particles and dissipating in the air.
"It actually worked... I mean, it looks like it worked."
The faces of the miner and the conductor finally showed smiles, they hugged each other, and then looked at Jenkins:
"Sir, you are indeed a good man, you..."
"Needless to say, keep going, no matter which world you go to, I hope you will not go on the wrong path."
"But it's not up to us, life is choosing us, not us choosing life... If possible, we also hope to go to a more prosperous, more developed, and fairer era, where everyone can read and everyone can read. With a full meal, everyone can…”
The voice disappeared, and the souls of the two also disappeared in front of Jenkins.
"You free their souls like this, do you want to find the door in the magma by yourself?"
The human-faced snake who had kept his mouth shut all this time finally spoke again.
"Don't worry about it."
"I just kindly remind you that your time is running out."
The roar of the demon group has not disappeared, but after Jenkins cut off the arm of one of the big demons, the demons never continued to attack the big rock rashly. They seem to be waiting for the magma to submerge everything, and then slowly deal with this hateful human being.
"I know."
He said, looking up at the many metal cocoons hanging above:
"Look, I can really free the souls here. So, is there anyone here who knows something that I want to know? Don't lie to me, I can spot lies, but if someone can provide the information I need, I will of course Let him, too, leave this dreadful place."
In order to ensure that the people above understood what he said, in addition to the contemporary lingua franca, he also used the elven language he mastered and some ancient languages.
