“The descendants I’m talking about are you, bastard!”

“Me?” Jiang Lu pointed at himself: “How do you know who I am?”

But in the face of Jiang Lu’s question, the homeless man just calmed down his agitated mood because he felt it was unreasonable, and then said mysteriously: “The answer to everything is behind this door.”

Jiang Lu really dislikes riddle tellers, but unfortunately, almost all people with some ability and background in this world are riddle tellers, and it seems like it is some kind of rule they have agreed upon not to speak out.

It’s like when a girl says she wants something, the boy always asks her what she wants even though he already knows the answer. It’s okay once or twice, but if it happens too often, it becomes boring and annoying.

Jiang Lu was of course a little fed up and refused forcefully: “I don’t even know who you are. It’s already a risk to follow you down here. Now you want me to go in there. Who knows what’s in there?”

The tramp was not displeased by this, as he could understand Jiang Lu’s caution.

However, understanding does not mean agreement. He still has things to verify, so he naturally won’t explain everything right away.

And most importantly, what he did was just to have a clear conscience. He just wanted to show Jiang Lu a clear way out. As for whether Jiang Lu would go on his own or not, that was his freedom and he did not intend to interfere.

So he just spread his hands indifferently: “Anyway, the answer is right in front of you. Whether you plan to explore it or not is your own business. Logically speaking, I have fulfilled my promise by sending you here, and I don’t owe you anything.”

After saying that, he turned his back to the two of them and looked into the abyss below the platform. No one knew what he was looking at or what he was thinking.

“What do you mean?” Lucifer asked Jiang Lu for his opinion.

He didn’t care. Whether Jiang Lu went in or not, he was willing to accompany him.

However, subjectively speaking, he seemed more curious than Jiang Lu. On the one hand, the method to deal with Nyarlathotep might be right in front of him, and he urgently needed to master this countermeasure. On the other hand, he was also very interested in Jiang Lu’s life experience.

A powerful figure was once just an ordinary person in a small place. This huge contrast always arouses people’s desire to explore. For example, Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, who was once a beggar, his experience of starting from scratch is like a passionate heroic epic. Even if the outcome is known, the process still has great appeal to everyone. After all, every man has heroes and legends in his heart, and has fantasized about the feat of going against adversity.

This is a romance that only belongs to men, and even Lucifer is no exception.

Even if the target is Jiang Lu, there is a certain probability that the passion is not very passionate, and it may even be a bit weird, but this is also a feature, isn’t it?

Jiang Lu pondered for a long time, and then said the most local characteristic formula, which was not an answer but actually an answer:

“Well…I’m here now.”

“Oh?” The homeless man turned around and asked, “Have you made a decision?”

“Yes, but let me be frank with you. If you try to play any tricks, we will expose you immediately.” Jiang Lu said seriously.

Even though he knew that the other party was not simple, Jiang Lu still had the confidence and courage to say such words.

If he and Lucifer join forces, one true god in the realm can be killed in seconds, two have a great chance of winning, and even three can still fight, unless the opponent is Nyarlathotep himself. But if so, he would have noticed it as early as when he entered the spiritual realm. In addition, the opponent seems to be very familiar with the situation of his family, so the probability of this possibility is not high.

The homeless man shook his head: “You are such a cunning person. You haven’t inherited any of the honesty of your elders…”

“Come with me.”

Perhaps in order to completely dispel Jiang Lu’s doubts and vigilance, the tramp simply walked into the stone gate first, leaving his unguarded back to the two men as a sign of sincerity.

Jiang Lu and Lucifer looked at each other and followed closely.

Soon, the scene behind the stone gate came into Jiang Lu’s sight.

Although the outside looks rough, what is unexpected is that the space inside is a different world.

The height of the dome from the ground is about as high as three stone doors, and it is very wide, as large as three basketball courts. There are many thick stalactites interspersed in it, most of which have been utilized. Some have been carefully carved, and some have been simply transformed into exhibition stands for displaying exhibits.

Many of the large and valuable items that Jiang Lu remembers from his childhood home are now stored here.

There are traces of iron chains hanging around them.

This place was once open to the public, and Jiang Lu inferred that this was probably a measure to protect the exhibits.

Many of the chains have rusted and decayed, and will break into pieces if you bend them hard. You can imagine how old they are.

In addition, there are many empty booths. Those booths are not big, and I guess what used to be displayed on them were small items. According to what the homeless man said, what was exhibited on them in the past should be things that can be moved away. I’m afraid they have already flowed into the market or into the pockets of unknown people.

But none of these things aroused the interest of Jiang Lu and Lucifer. What really made them unable to take their eyes off was a huge tumor.

It hangs upside down on the dome, like the fungi that can be seen everywhere in the forest, rooted in the rocks, and it is impossible to tell whether it is spreading further.

It bulges from top to bottom like a small hill, flashing a dark red light, and it also looks somewhat like a beating heart.

Its surface is full of wrinkles and grooves, with three bulges, but the ends are broken, as if a bomb exploded from the inside, and the aluminum skin was pierced to form chrysanthemum-shaped scars. Through the opening, you can clearly see the blood inside, and even something can be seen flowing inside.

Just as Jiang Lu and Lucifer were surprised, the homeless man suddenly laughed for some reason.

“That’s right, it’s true. You are indeed their descendant. You are indeed the one I’ve been waiting for!”

Hearing this, Jiang Lu was stunned.

What does this mean? Didn’t the other party know his identity when he was outside? Why did he say it now as if he had just finally confirmed it?

Lucifer had the same doubts and looked at the homeless man in confusion.

“Okay, okay!” The homeless man patted Jiang Lu’s shoulder excitedly. He didn’t care about Jiang Lu’s feelings and said horrifying words with a kind face: “I have killed many Jiang Lus over the years, and finally I met the real one!”

Jiang Lu subconsciously took two steps back: “What on earth are you playing at?”

The homeless man smiled and shook his head, pointed to the corner, and answered the question irrelevantly: “Go and see if there is anything else you can use.”

Looking carefully in the direction of his finger, Jiang Lu’s eyes suddenly widened.

In the corner that I hadn’t noticed just now, there was a pile of bones that were similar in color to the stalactites and could be easily overlooked if you didn’t look closely, as well as a pile of neatly arranged, shrunken human organs…

Chapter 469: The world’s treasures have always belonged to the capable

Jiang Lu couldn’t help but move closer.

Then he discovered that the bones were piled up layer by layer, and there were even more than what he saw before his eyes, because in the corners where they were piled, he could clearly see traces of the pits underneath, and there were actually quite a few that were buried underground.

As for the human organs, they were even more horrifying. They were all densely packed with fragments of tissue. Cutting them into eight pieces was not enough to describe the horrible scene. To say the least, they were cut into dozens or even hundreds of pieces.

The most important thing is that none of these human organs overlap, and all of them come from different parts of the human body. Considering what the homeless man just said, Jiang Lu couldn’t help but wonder if these organs…

While Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment, the homeless man came up to him.

Lucifer had been watching him, worried that he would do something bad to Jiang Lu, so he immediately tried to stop him.

But what he didn’t expect was that the homeless man just turned sideways and bypassed him. His movement was so easy and clean, just like a professional football player passing a child who had just started to play football.

The homeless man didn’t care about Lucifer, but asked Jiang Lu eagerly: “How is it, is there anything I can use?”

“These are…” Jiang Lu turned his head stiffly.

“Yes, yes.” The homeless man answered in a completely different tone from his previous calmness, as if he was seeking credit. “These are all your scattered body parts. As for the bones, they were all sent here by Jiang Lu!”

His guess was confirmed, and Jiang Lu subconsciously took two steps back. His vigilance towards the person in front of him reached an unprecedented level.

Jiang Lu said nothing, but just kept accumulating strength. Although he didn’t know why the other party did this, he didn’t want to be the next SF Express courier who donated his organs and was killed and robbed.

Upon seeing this, Lucifer immediately found a good position and angle, waiting for Jiang Lu to make a move, so that he could quickly cooperate at the same time and give the homeless man a fatal blow.

But seeing Jiang Lu’s reaction like that made the homeless man a little confused.

“Don’t be so nervous. You are different from them. You are the real Jiang Lu and they are all fake Jiang Lu. I will not do anything to you. On the contrary, I am on your side. These are the gifts I prepared for you.”

Jiang Lu vaguely guessed something. A terrible fact had already been outlined in his mind, but he didn’t want to believe it. He yelled at the homeless man:

“What’s the real Jiang Lu or fake Jiang Lu? From the beginning to the end, there was only me, Jiang Lu. Don’t talk nonsense!”

“No, no, no.” The homeless man shook his head: “You underestimate yourself, and you underestimate it even more.”

He pointed to the drooping tumor above and continued:

“Things born from it, even if they are broken into pieces or burned to ashes, will regain life in various ways and come back to it again.

They themselves are not aware of this. In their opinion, it may be a coincidence or an intuition, but in the end, they will all return to the place that gave birth to them without exception.

This is inevitable. You see, isn’t it the same for you?

The only difference between you and them is that what you carry is its core, so you can become the real Jiang Lu, and their mission is just to send the other parts back here, and ultimately use them to make you successful and prepare wedding dresses for you.

It sounds cruel, but there is nothing we can do about it. This is the way of survival in the old days. There are always various things in nature that are beyond our cognition or that seem to us to be completely against the moral code, right? “

“From there…” Jiang Lu looked at the tumor that he had never seen before and seemed to have vitality: “Born?”

“Yes.” The tramp nodded. “The ancient gods call them ancient objects, but to the Old Ones, they are eggs, embryos, and incubators that nurture their lives. And you were born there, and then nurtured by your mother inside her body.”

Lucifer’s pupils shrank.

How could words like ancient gods, ancient objects, and old days come out of the other person’s mouth? Who is the other person?

Jiang Lu had no time to think about these questions at all. He was completely overwhelmed by the huge amount of information.

After a brief moment of shock, he pointed at himself in disbelief and said, “I am a test-tube baby?!”

At this moment he was in deep shock.

For him, whether his bloodline was related to the past was secondary. What concerned him more was another issue.

The term “test tube baby” is relatively euphemistic. As the Emperor of Desolate Heaven in another sense, Jiang Lu, whose mind is extremely wild, immediately had a picture in his mind. He couldn’t help but think of his former good brother, Zeus, who now needed to be strictly examined, and his glorious deeds in making the queen of the underworld pregnant.

Although he didn’t want to associate his family with such things, he couldn’t help thinking about it. This made him feel difficult to accept for a while and wanted to speak up for his father.

NTR is interesting, but it would be a disaster if it happened to you.

But fortunately, the homeless man explained and corrected it in time: “No, no, no, you are still the life conceived by your parents naturally, and this will not change. It’s just that you have been affected by it and inherited its bloodline, that’s all.”

“Is there any difference?” Jiang Lu’s face was bitter.

“The difference is that you are still a human, but you absorbed an astonishing amount of power from it when you were still a fetus. Although you were born through it, you can’t directly equate you with it.”

The tramp lowered his voice: “The thing that can really be directly regarded as the old days should be the thing outside, the guy you saw in the spiritual realm, but…”

He chuckled, “Resources are limited. One resource cannot be divided among three people. The nutrients it carries are divided into talent, physique, and energy. The guy who only got the physique is just a walking corpse with an empty shell. His development is not complete at all. You can regard him as an idiot.”

“In other words.” Jiang Lu’s mind flashed with the huge monster running back and forth in the spiritual realm: “I stole the resources for his development?”

“I don’t like the term ‘stealing’.” The tramp sighed, “Since ancient times, treasures have always belonged to those with ability. I prefer to call it… plundering.”

“So you said three servings.”

Jiang Lu couldn’t help but ask, “Does that mean I took two of them?”

“it’s not true.”

The tramp shook his head:

“It left behind its physique, you got its talent, and as for its energy, it’s in me.”

After a pause, he looked at the tumor and said solemnly: “In order to obtain this incomplete nutrient, I was trapped inside for thousands of years. In the end, I was rescued by your father.”
