Chapter 897

"Relying on the floating crystal dust in my body."

After showing Li Ang and the other person her arm covered in blood spots, under the female reporter's horrified gaze, the sister robber explained in a low voice:

"I am a child born in the floating crystal mining area. Before I was even born by my mother, my whole body was already full of this dust. These things are part of my body.

Grandmother said that floating crystals have an attractive property. Once activated, this fine dust will spontaneously gather towards larger floating crystal blocks of the same origin. Every year in the mining area, people have their throats and lungs completely shattered because they get too close to operating floating vehicles, causing the floating crystal dust in their bodies to be sucked away.

And those floating crystals in the Kewangguo are in a low-intensity activated state all year round. The closer I get to there, the more my body hurts. So as long as I try a few more times, I will definitely be able to find the location of the Kewangguo Wang Gong."

So it relies on this method...

After hearing the sister robber's way of finding the Kewangguo Wang Gong, even though he was mentally prepared, Li Ang still couldn't help but fall silent.

Although the sister robber hadn't deliberately talked about the life she and her brother lived before escaping from Cheshire, from these occasional words and phrases, it was not hard to imagine what kind of life they had lived before.

"I have a few more questions to confirm."

After a moment of silence, Li Ang asked again:

"The Kewangguo has over eight hundred blocks, and floating crystals are embedded under each block. How can you be sure that what attracts you will be the floating crystal under the Kewangguo Wang Gong?"

"Relying on the mining area number."

The sister robber replied calmly:

"Because floating crystals have an attractive property after being activated, in order to avoid mutual influence, the floating crystals under those blocks are all mined in different ways. The ratio of explosives, mining equipment, and detergent materials are all different.

So theoretically speaking, the floating crystals mined from each mining area are different. And my family are all people from Mining Area No. 1. Grandmother heard the mine supervisor say that the floating crystals mined from Area No. 1 are specifically supplied for the use of the royal family's blocks."

So that's it...

After hearing the sister robber's words, Li Ang nodded slightly. The female reporter, who had finally recovered from the shock, stepped forward two steps, grabbed the thin, terrifying-looking arm, and said incoherently:

"How can this be?! Those floating crystals are actually so... you... do you hurt?"

"Not really."

Hearing the female reporter's question, the sister robber shook her head and said:

"I am young, and my body can still grow a bit more. As long as I eat more, the impact of this dust can still be endured. It will probably be when my bones stop growing and my internal organs stop getting bigger that they will start to wear down my body."

"Wear down?"

"It means rotting."

Pointing to the blood spots on her arm, the sister robber replied with a steady voice:

"Uncle Mazbi told grandmother that when my body grows and the rate of cell replacement slows down, and it's not enough to replace these parts of the cells before rejection occurs, these blood spots will turn from the size of rice grains to the size of beans.

Then the skin will also be unable to maintain itself due to the rejection underneath, and large areas of ulceration will appear. And after about a year, when these ulcerations become the size of pigeon eggs, my internal organs will also start to ulcerate, and then I will die within about half a year."

"..."

That means, from the time the body stops growing to being tortured to death by this dust, there is only a year and a half left?

Looking at the girl in front of him who looked unusually calm, as if she wasn't talking about herself, the female reporter's hands clenched suddenly.

"Then you... how old are you this year?"

"Fourteen."

Fourteen...

Hearing the sister robber's answer, the female reporter bit her lip and couldn't help but look away, not knowing how to look at her anymore.

Even if nutrition can keep up, the stage of rapid growth for a person usually stops at seventeen or eighteen, and girls will be earlier than boys, some even stop growing at fifteen or sixteen.

If this child is also like this, then her life has already entered a countdown. Maybe in less than a year, she will start to be tortured by illness, and then die with her whole body ulcerating.

So although she looks like she hasn't reached adulthood, in reality, she has already entered a countdown, just like many elderly people in their twilight years, she is about to reach the end of her life...

"Then you... you all..."

The female reporter, shocked by the cruel facts, after saying "then you" twice, couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and couldn't ask any further. Li Ang, on the side, took over the conversation and asked:

"You have already left the mining area, then can the dust left in your body be metabolized out over time with medicine or other methods?"

"Uncle Mazbi tried, it's useless."

The sister robber shook her head:

"The activation method of floating crystals is to connect to some form of energy. And Uncle Mazbi said that in the human body, there is also energy that can be directly absorbed by floating crystal dust.

Children like me who have dust in their flesh and internal organs are actually considered lucky. If there is floating crystal dust in the brain and nerves, they can't even control their bodies, and they will die as soon as they are born."

"Who is this Uncle Mazbi you mentioned?"

"Uncle Mazbi is a scholar of the Kewangguo."

Mentioning the Kewangguo, the sister robber's eyes turned slightly cold, but then she said with some complexity:

"He originally came to treat the supervisors, but after seeing our situation, he seemed to have made a scene, and then stayed in Cheshire, treating many miners for free. My brother and I were able to run out because he helped."

"Then where is he now?"

"I don't know, he's probably dead."

The sister robber said with a dim expression:

"His body was also not good, and he was grazed by a floating vehicle in the mine. His lung injury was more serious than grandmother's. When my brother and I ran out, he was already coughing up blood every day."

"..."

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but close his eyes slightly and fell into silence again. The female reporter, who had calmed down a bit, said with red eyes:

"Then you... what if you don't go down to the mine? What would the supervisors of the Kewangguo do, attack you directly?"

"They wouldn't. The supervisors of the Kewangguo only care about whether the mining area can operate normally, and don't allow people to leave at will. They won't care about anything else."

The sister robber gritted her teeth upon hearing this:

"However, although they don't take action, plants cannot grow in Cheshire and several other large mining areas, and there are almost no animals. And everything, including food, must be exchanged with the floating crystals mined out!"

So if you don't want to starve to death, you can only go down to the mine to mine floating crystals?

After understanding the "operation" mode of Cheshire, the female reporter's lips were bitten into deep white marks by herself. Li Ang, on the side, sighed in his heart, then took out a small silver knife and cut the rope binding the robber siblings.

"I accept the deal you proposed."
