Capítulo 1738: Chapter 1738: A Certain Miraculous Reaction
“Shut up!” Xu Huo darted forward and grabbed his jaw, but the boss struggled and refused to stop, shouting, “Now that you’re cleaning up, you want to pretend nothing ever happened. I’m telling you, it’s impossible. Many people know about this, killing
won’t help at all!”
“What did you say!” Xu Huo stopped his motion to inject him with a needle, his eyes glaring, “Do you dare to say it out loud?”
The boss thought he had a chance to survive, panting heavily as he said, “If you dare to do it, why be afraid to speak about it?”
“Tian Tian Le is a big business; they’ve killed so many people and still nothing happened to them. Soone like
running a small business naturally has to be more cautious!”
Xu Huo’s face darkened, “You shouldn’t know about this.”
“Haha!” The boss laughed, “There’s no wall that doesn’t let the wind through. As long as there are people who know about it still alive, the news will definitely leak out…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xu Huo snapped his arm, “Speak!”
The boss sweated profusely from the pain, gritting his teeth and refusing to speak, while Xu Huo was not polite, breaking his other arm, saying, “Besides arms, you have two legs. Without legs, you still have family. I can wait until you talk.”
While speaking, he nodded to indicate to the person holding the boss, and that player imdiately let go and turned on the Collection of Information Terminal.
“What are you going to do?” the boss exclaid in panic, “You want to touch my family!”
“Since you won’t say who leaked the information to you and you said there are others who know, it should be that these two are within your network. We can find them one by one until we find the right one.” Xu Huo glanced at the half-used potion and casually tossed it aside, “No worries, there’s plenty of potion.”
The player next to him handed him a new syringe.
Upon hearing that the player has already contacted people to detain his family under the guise of a trip, the boss finally couldn’t help but shout, “Spare my family! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”
At Xu Huo’s signal, the player notified the contact to pause the action, then returned the boss to the chair.
Xu Huo did not sit opposite the boss this ti but stood behind the chair, both hands resting on the back of the chair, “Speak.”
The boss swallowed and then slowly started speaking, “This mine was inherited from my father, but the gems had been almost mined out long ago. More than a hundred years ago, I already had the idea of selling the mine for a last profit. When I went out to find a buyer, I happened to et an old friend of my father’s.”
“My father had told
that his friend’s mine should have been exhausted before ours, but when I t the person, his mine still had a large number of gemstones being extracted.”
“I couldn’t understand what was happening, so I tried to get close to him. After so effort, I finally got him to reveal that the reason his mine could continuously produce gemstones was because people were periodically thrown in there.”
Xu Huo kept a steady face, “You believe this?”
“Why wouldn’t I?” the boss looked up at him, eyes filled with anger and hostility, “Isn’t that what you do at Tian Tian Le? I’ve observed your mines. Not just the ones that collapsed, even those that haven’t collapsed keep producing a continuous stream of gemstones. It doesn’t make sense otherwise!”
“But after knowing this news, I understood. I’ve inquired in many places, and found out that both the governnt and mining corporations knew about this. The governnt tacitly agreed because the flesh and blood of Evolvers can have a mysterious reaction with underground magma, which can continually spew magma and form gemstones in large quantities, allowing mining companies to exploit them generation after generation… Otherwise, why wouldn’t you give up even the collapsed mines? Isn’t it because of this?”
“Unfortunately, I’m not as bold as you; I dare not really collapse a mine or kill so many people…”
“Since you’ve done it, do you think it’s effective?” Xu Huo interrupted his argunt.
“Yes, of course it is!” The boss said through clenched teeth, “Else how could my mine still be operating now?”
“Now that I’ve explained how I know the secret, since you’ve found , you obviously won’t spare . What I said earlier was a lie, no one else knows about this, everything was arranged by
personally. My family knows nothing about it, kill , spare them!”
Xu Huo reopened the Collection of Information Terminal and checked the related accident reports. Yes, there were cracks under the boss’s mine too, “Did you apply for governnt subsidies due to an increase in the danger level of the mine?”
The boss was taken aback, “So what if I did?”
Xu Huo ignored this question and instead said, “You think throwing living people in can make mines continuously produce gemstones. With such a good thod, why was it banned a hundred years ago?”
Zone 019 experienced a technological leap a hundred years ago, leading to a rapid advancent in mining technology, gradually eliminating manual labor. Even in the event of an earthquake-caused accident, it generally wouldn’t harm people, only causing the loss of machinery at most. Since he says the governnt knows, it ans the governnt and mining groups both agree to stop using the thod of ‘throwing living people’ to promote gemstone production – of course, whether this is true is uncertain.
“It can’t just be because our corporation’s machines dig deeper than yours.”
The boss showed a mont of confusion but then perked up after hearing his words, “Yes, that’s it, because my equipnt isn’t good enough…”
The player standing nearby stepped forward and slapped him.
The boss shut his mouth.
The boss didn’t lie. In his understanding, he believed that the reason why Tian Tian Le and other large conglorates’ mines could continue to be mined was because they continuously threw in living people. As for the claim that “living people and magma can have so miraculous reaction,” whether it ca from him or his father’s friend, it’s unlikely to be true. It’s mostly speculation targeting the practice of killing miners by companies like Tian Tian Le.
In reality, this kind of speculation is utterly absurd. Without ntioning whether there are that many fools really practicing it, even if they did, it would not result in this “inducing gemstone” outco.
The peak of accidents over a hundred years ago likely had so mines affected by natural causes, covering up incidents caused by large groups like Tian Tian Le and Hales. Whether the governnt was aware… it’s hard to say.
Nevertheless, conglorates like Hales and Tian Tian Le intentionally causing mining accidents for so purpose is a fact. Especially Hales, the statents by Pu Hui and Mr. Wei are basically conclusive.
If the boss can notice the indications, wouldn’t others, such as people working in related positions or the relatives of the victims, question the legitimacy of what’s happening?
Only so of the victims’ bones were returned by their families. As for the rest, couldn’t they possibly have relatives or friends too?
Soran repeatedly took trips for inspiration near the accident location of her father, can the cause of the tragedy that befell her family be completely ignored?
