Qin Ze asked curiously, "Why can't you lie?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "Because that's how it's supposed to be."
"Set up?"
"It's the rule; the rule doesn't allow me to lie."
Qin Ze hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Am I handsome?"
Miss Sword Case immediately replied, "Not handsome."
The clones on the Local Area Network burst into laughter.
"What do you call this? It's self-inflicted humiliation."
" Qin Ze used Charm! Skill check in progress... Ineffective."
"Are you out of your mind asking a question about a Sword Case?"
"Quickly ask it, how long until we become gods?"
"It's just a Sword Case, not a magical conch shell. Even a fool wouldn't answer that kind of question."
"Then why Don't Ask the magical conch shell?"
"..."
Qin Ze's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
This Sword Case is even more annoying than the stones outside.
Sword Case quickly explained, "I'm not human, I don't have your aesthetic sense, and I can't understand the meaning of 'handsome' in your words."
So if you insist on me answering this question, my only answer is "not handsome."
The Dharma King laughed so hard he almost fell over, "In a way, it really doesn't lie."
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes, catching the key point from Sword Case Xia's words.
The Sword Case uttered the word "human".
The stone outside just now called him a two-legged beast.
Qin Ze asked, "How did you know I was human?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "Because a long time ago, two bipedal creatures like you came to my place to escape the Wandering Corpse. They claimed to be human, and since you look the same as them, you should also be human."
Qin Ze raised his eyebrows, took out the photo, pointed at his parents, and said, "Is it them?"
Miss Sword Case: "It's them."
Qin Ze asked urgently, "Where did they go afterward? Are they safe? Have you seen them again?"
Miss Sword Case said, "You've asked so many questions at once, which one should I answer first?"
Qin Ze took a deep breath. "Tell me about your encounter with them."
Miss Sword Case said, "Okay."
"That day, a group of Wandering Corpse passed by the door, and the two of them were chased inside, but they escaped the Wandering Corpse here."
"We had a brief exchange; their destination is Underworld Mountain."
"After resting with me for a while, they continued their journey."
Qin Ze frowned slightly. "What are they going to Underworld Mountain for?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "I'm sorry, I didn't ask."
"I'm good at answering questions, not at asking them."
Qin Ze pressed further, "Have they gone down the mountain?"
Miss Sword Case said, "They're still here; they're just ahead."
Qin Ze's eyes widened. "You mean they've never left this place, and they're still alive?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "Yes."
Qin Ze's CPU is a bit overheated.
How is that possible?
He speculated that his parents had probably entered the Otherworld No. Zero three years ago, when he called them and they were out of service.
The Corruption here is so severe that even Demigod couldn't withstand it for this long.
To survive three years in the Otherworld No. Zero must be the work of a true god.
The Sword Case is very likely lying.
"Two humans staying here for so long, do you think that's possible?" Qin Ze sneered.
Miss Sword Case quickly replied, "They carry a divine artifact with them."
"That artifact can prevent them from being Corruption and invaded."
"It was thanks to that divine artifact that they were able to climb Underworld Mountain."
Qin Ze remained silent.
It did manage to make it round again.
If my parents had a powerful artifact like the Hall of Stars Brother Yuanzi, then a little Corruption would indeed be nothing to them.
Judging from the Sword Case's account, the seemingly cheap stone outside was indeed telling the truth.
Of course, it's also possible that the two of them communicated beforehand.
What is your relationship with the stones outside?
"It's alright."
Qin Ze said in a deep voice, "Isn't your answer a bit too perfunctory?"
Miss Sword Case thought for a moment and said, "I'm telling the truth, there really is no relationship between us."
"We just chat occasionally when we're bored."
Qin Ze asked, "What's the origin of that stone?"
There wasn't a speck of dust on the stone's surface.
It was as clean as pebbles on a riverbank.
The presence of such clean stones in this place is eerie in itself, especially when the stones can talk.
Miss Sword Case said, "It was born before me. I haven't been awake for long, and most of my understanding of this world comes from it."
"I don't know exactly how it came to be."
The clones on the Local Area Network whispered among themselves.
"None of them are simple characters."
"Since we're already here, why not take that stone with us and study it at our leisure?"
"Good idea, it can keep Big Black company."
"Do you think the Test Subject X was taken out like this?"
"..."
The clones fell silent.
Just now, Qin Ze also had a fleeting thought of taking the Sword Case and the stone with him.
Now that I think about it carefully, could they be like the Test Subject X?
Qin Ze asked in a deep voice, "Are you Strange Beast?"
"Strange Beast " was the name given to mythical creatures during the time of the Desolate God).
Miss Sword Case: "No, I have no connection with the Strange Beast."
The Mist Lord reminded everyone on the Local Area Network: "We only have ten minutes left, we need to go back."
The Dharma King was unwilling. "You really won't take this nice-talking Sword Case and those cheap stones outside with you?"
The Brother Devour said, "They all possess sentience; you can't just take them away as you please."
"And this place is really too strange."
"It's best not to touch anything here until we understand the specifics of the situation."
The Mist Lord chimed in, "That's right."
"If we create another Test Subject X, are you prepared to carry out another hunting mission?"
Qin Ze called to Brother Devour, then turned and walked out of the temple, preparing to head home.
The voice from the Sword Case sounded behind him, "Aren't you going to save those two humans?"
Qin Ze paused, tilted his head slightly, and said, "I'm in a precarious situation right now, barely able to save myself."
"If we don't leave now, we'll get infected."
"Besides, didn't you just say they have divine artifacts protecting them?"
"It's not too late for me to rescue them next time I come in."
Miss Sword Case said, "But the divine artifact is nearing its limit and won't last much longer."
Qin Ze turned around. "How did you know?"
Miss Sword Case replied, "I can sense it."
"This is one of my abilities."
"Perceives the existence of all divine artifacts within a certain range."
Qin Ze raised an eyebrow; this was definitely a treasure-hunting compass.
At this moment, Qin Ze was caught in a dilemma.
To save or not to save, that is the question.
He was unaware of his parents' current predicament and whether it could be resolved within ten minutes.
Miss Sword Case suddenly spoke up, "If you're worried about Corruption, I... I can help you."
