"Hahaha..." The old scientist made a series of sounds of coughing or sneering, "When I first came here, I met those people from outside who came to save people. Maybe it was God's blessing. At that time, I thought it was not a bad thing to stay in the belly of this nihilistic beast, so I ignored them and found a corner to hide without saying a word. Unexpectedly, this saved me, the old man.

"I stayed in the belly of the Void Beast for more than a month. These fire-raising people come to me every three or four days, but never find me. Several times I was only a wall away from them. I was also a little hesitant, thinking that these young men are always looking for me in the belly of this big guy. Otherwise, I will go out with them. Now, every time I have this idea, there is always a new problem in my math formula that traps me. Maybe in the dark, the gods don't want me to die here."

Lu Lie was impatient: "Grandpa, why do you like to keep someone so much inseparable? Tell me directly what happened later and why can't you contact those fire-raising people? Isn't it enough? Isn't it enough to say so much."

"The little doll is so poor that she will not live long in the future." The old scientist muttered and continued to tell his next experience. "Until one day, a new guy was also eaten into the belly of this nihilistic beast from the outside world and happened to meet me. In this dark world, although I still don't know if this guy is a human, he can speak human language quite smoothly, so I will regard him as his kind.

"In this dark world, 'he' and I quickly became friends. That guy not only knew astronomy and geography, but also was very talkative. I encountered many difficulties and doubts in the process of deciphering Yao's manuscript, and all of them got the answers by asking him for advice. And it was such a guy who had been in the belly of this nihilistic beast for less than a month, and he had the most miserable ending."

Lu Lie quickly realized the problem sensitively: "This guy wants to go out, so he contacted the group of fire-raising people?"

"That's right." The old man nodded in the darkness, "After I spent a happy time here for a month, one day the guy suddenly told me that he didn't want to stay in this ghost place. Is there any way to leave here? It happened that the fire hikers did not appear in that month. Thinking about the existence of the fire hikers in my heart, I told the guy and asked him to give it a try on his own.

"But I didn't expect that my words opened the door to hell for him."

"Hell is a hammer." Lu Lie cursed angrily.

The old scientist ignored the irritable Lu Lie: "Short long after I told the guy, he made up his mind. He told me that there were some very important things he had to do and that he had to leave the belly of the nihilistic beast. I also encouraged him to try it. Just less than three days after I told him that the fire lifter existed, I clearly remember that day, when we were all sleeping, the fire lifter appeared."

Lu Lie's eyes narrowed into two lines.

"The fire-raising man held the torch and shouted to let him come out all over the mountains. He and I heard it. He climbed up from the darkness, pushed me gently, and said to me, 'Old sir, I'll leave. You'll be alone here in the future, take care of yourself.' I didn't say anything, just nodded. The guy walked a few steps towards the fire-raising man, turned around and asked me tentatively, 'Old sir, why don't you leave this ghost place with me too.' To be honest, I was also hesitant for a moment, because I was worried that after this guy left, no one would discuss academic issues with me in the future. But my disgust for the outside world and the pursuit of spiritual tranquility here ultimately prompted me to reject him."

"What happened after that? What did the fire hiker do to him after he found out?"

"After that... the poor guy was heading towards the fire-lifter with infinite hope, shouting loudly, "I am here, I am here." At that time, I closed my eyes and leaned on the ground, wanting to hear his movements at the end. But when his steps were about to coincide with the fire-lifter, the torch in the distance suddenly went out, and the world with faint light fell into a darker abyss. All the sounds suddenly calmed down, but the silence was extremely short-lived. Then, I heard the poor guy shouting in the distance with extremely surprised and fear, "What are you? No, you...'

"I was shocked at that time, and I don't know what happened. He just screamed, and soon the darkness in the distance fell into endless nothingness again. But not long after, the guy's shrill scream came from the distance, as if he was trying hard to endure some great pain. The screams were even more painful than the other, echoing throughout the space for a long time, and my eardrums were about to penetrate. I didn't know what was going on in the distance, but I just felt that it must have a great relationship with those fire-raisingers. At that time, I was so scared that I couldn't help myself, and I didn't even have the courage to walk over and take a look. I just left the source of the sound and those fire-raisingers far away, wanting to stay away from 'them' as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by those dangerous fire-raisingers and affect me."

After listening to the story of the old scientist, Lu Lie fell into long-term contemplation. The two of them were silent in the dark for a while, then Lu Lie asked, "So, have you never seen the true faces of those fire-raising people from beginning to end?"

The old scientist shook his head sadly: "From then on, as long as the group of fire-raising players appear nearby and shout loudly to look for some survivors, I will grop in the dark and leave far away. I know what the group of guys have become, what they have done to the persons who are discovered. In short, it will definitely not be a good thing. If they are discovered by 'they', it would be better to die."

"I remember you said that you must not ignite here." Lu Lie asked seriously, "If the ignition is ignited, it will die. This is what you said, right? What is this for?"
