I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 187 Three Conjectures: Past, Present, and Future

With the 'bought' twisted rope, Luden returned to the first floor.

University scholar three learned to use coffee machines and other tools through communication with artificial intelligence.

The more advanced the technology, the more convenient the experience of terminal consumption, and the university students did not encounter any obstacles in learning.

After Luden appeared, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Luden in unison. After confirming that Luden was still alive, they quickly moved their eyes away and forced themselves to focus on what was in front of them.

Lu Deng went straight to the third university student and sat opposite him.

The conversation between the two is not over yet.

"Apocalypse, please build a conference room."

Luden sat down and set up baffles around him, enclosing him and the university scholar three times, so that the conversation between the two would not be heard by the third person.

The third scholar pushed a cup of coffee in front of Lu Deng, and a faint smoke floated up, swaying between the eyes of the two.

Luden didn't drink coffee, but leaned on the back of the chair, seemed a little tired, and said casually,

"If you have any questions, ask them now."

For Luden to come here, the help of the third scholar is indispensable.

In return, Luden is willing to answer the other party's doubts.

The most important point is that in the entire Republic of God, the third scholar may be the person who yearns for Qiyun the most.

He can also be called a spiritual Qiyun person.

This virtually increased Luden's affection for him, and he was willing to answer his doubts for him at this last moment.

"You came back alive."

The third scholar stared straight at Lu Deng, and asked,
"I want to know, why didn't the last group of Qiyun Kingdom choose to kill you?"

He didn't directly ask Lu Deng what happened to Qiyun back then.They also didn't ask Lu Deng whether Qi Yun's destruction was in Lu Deng's expectation.

Compared with what happened more than [-] years ago, university scholars want to know what happened just now.

After all, only Luden knew about this matter.

"reason?"

Luden put his right hand on the table, tapped his index finger rhythmically, and replied,
"The most superficial and the most direct reason - I'm dying."

Lu Deng believed that when he entered the bookstore, the Mastermind of Apocalypse had already made a general inspection of his physical condition.

He was already suffering from a lot of illnesses, thanks to the medicine given by the empress to continue his life these years.

Now, Luden led his team to venture into this dead city again, and he was always under the harsh environment of high radiation.

Even with the queen's medicine, Luden would not live long.

His life is like the last candle, shaking in the breeze, and may be extinguished at any time.

For a dying person, the greatest punishment is not to kill him, but to keep him alive.

Death will come sooner or later.

Come late, it will be more tormented.

Qiyun did not forgive Lu Deng.

Coincidentally, Lu Deng did not forgive Qi Yun either.

Loudon continued,

"Actually, there are other reasons. For example, the people of Qiyun Kingdom have spent a lot of effort on studying me."

The university scholar nodded three times, "That's right, even a science called "Demonology" has been developed."

The introductory study of demonology is to put the things that Loudon Bonaparte did one by one under the microscope and study them carefully.

In the time just now, University Scholar Three found several journals, read the latest research results and mainstream views on "Demonology" above,

"Demonology believes that there are three possibilities for your appearance, past, present, and future."

University scholar San explained the research results of demonology to Luden in detail.

People in Qiyun Kingdom study demons, which is easy to understand.

On the one hand, the devil is the key to eternal life.

Only by figuring out the devil can it be possible to unlock the secret of eternal life.

The appearance of ready-made immortals is enough to drive all scientists and scholars crazy.

On the other hand, Lu Deng played an extremely critical role in the establishment of Qiyun Kingdom.

And, Lu Deng's phrase of "blessings will return to this land" left a psychological shadow and hope for the Qiyun people of later generations!
Only by figuring out the rules of the devil's behavior can it be possible for the devil to come again!

The so-called 'past, present, future' refers to the three conjectures of demonology.

In thousands of years of research, people have realized that something is not normal. From Luden's behavior style and clues, three conjectures have been summed up.

[Past Conjecture]: This planet, no, generally speaking, this world once had an extremely technologically advanced civilization in the past.

For Qiyun Kingdom, this civilization does not exist and cannot be observed.

There are many reasons for being unobservable.

Perhaps, this civilization has died out in the long river of history.

Perhaps, this civilization disdains any contact with the Qiyun Kingdom, and the technological gap between the two sides is even greater than laser swords hitting primitive people.

Humans don't talk to ants.

In [Past Conjecture], Luden is from this extremely developed civilization, and it is precisely because of this that this demon holds the secret of eternal life.

[Past conjecture] is Qiyun's most mainstream conjecture, and it is also the conjecture with the highest probability.

Compared with [Past Conjecture], [Present Conjecture] is bolder.

[Conjecture now]: The world of Qiyun Kingdom and the world where the devil lives are in two dimensions. In layman's terms, they are parallel universes.

Demons randomly enter this planet, bring blessings to people, bring the curse of eternal life, and then die.

The time flow of the two worlds may be different, so the gap between the demon's entry into this world is unpredictable.

It could be the next second, or it could be a hundred years later.

Of course, the third scholar already knows the answer now, more than two thousand years later.

Since the parallel world has never been proven theoretically, [now conjecture] is a castle in the air.

It seems that it can perfectly explain all the causes and effects, but it cannot explain the most contradictory point - where is the parallel universe?
If "Present Conjecture" is a castle in the air, then "Future Conjecture" is a wild idea, more like an irresponsible statement by novelists and science fiction authors.

How to resolve the space-time paradox if 'Demon Luden' comes from the future?

A more rational [Future Conjecture] will try to find some theoretical basis, such as combining parallel time and space with future time.

Demons may come from different timelines, and every move of a demon may affect the direction of the world.

After listening to the three conjectures introduced by the third scholar, Lu Deng shook his head and said with a forced smile,

"The person who puts forward the 'future conjecture' is probably a novelist or a reader."

Luden's view is very simple: the objective existence of time paradox, the future conjecture is self-defeating.

The technology of the Nebula Empire far exceeds that of the Qiyun Kingdom. In the Nebula Empire, it has been demonstrated countless times that it is impossible to create a time machine.

In theory, Luden certainly believed in the research results of the Nebula Empire.

It is a pity that these three conjectures are all wrong, or in other words, not completely right.

Regarding what the truth is, the source and function of the blessing simulator, Lu Deng has no idea for the time being.

After talking about the three conjectures about Luden's origin, the third university scholar continued,

"There's a saying in academia that you only show up when technology is underdeveloped"

Having said that, the third scholar stopped and looked at Lu Deng silently.

It is known in Qiyun Kingdom that the key to eternal life is in the hands of demons. Assuming that demons will only appear when technology is underdeveloped, then
Doomsday reason +1.
There are many factors and contradictions in the end of Qiyun Kingdom.

The development of science and technology is stagnant, and resources are not exhausted, but there are still problems in distribution, and at the same time, contradictions are becoming more and more acute
It seems that all the kingdoms in this world have died because of this.

Nothing fancy.

History will repeat itself.

The two did not talk about Qiyun's doomsday, and this topic was cleverly avoided.

The university scholar asked another question three times,
"What did you do in Qiyun back then? They chose to treat you like that?"

then?

Speaking of that year, Luden seemed to be able to taste bitterness in the corner of his mouth.

"If you have time, you can read time travel novels. I believe that in the development history of the Qiyun Kingdom, this kind of literature will rise for a period of time. There should be excellent works left behind, and it may even be regarded as the pioneering work by the people of the [Future Conjecture] school. .”

Luden was right, time travel novels are the most popular in Qiyun Kingdom:

"I Was Reborn as Luden", "Devil, Love Me Again", "I Killed the Devil and Unintentionally Gained Eternal Life".
Various themes, a hundred flowers bloom.

Loudon continued,

"What did I do? I did the same thing as the vast majority of traversers. I worked hard to develop productivity and use development to solve problems. I didn't ease the contradictions, and even intensified them as much as possible. In the voice of the masses, I used a A shameless, cunning, and legal coup overthrew the king, beheaded him, and ushered in a new kingdom"

Following the memories, Luden's eyes were a little dazed, and he murmured,
"How many people did I hang? 1000, or 2000? Sorry, I can't remember.

If the blood on my hands can blacken the cloth,

I know that cruel pleasures must end cruelly, Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet.

Sooner or later, I will be hanged by angry people. When that day comes, as long as all procedures are legal, I will accept my end. "

Back then, the Queen didn't understand why Lu Deng had to go to that damned gallows when he could avoid the end of death.

The long time may have made her figure it out.

This is the path Luden chose.

He is willing to pay the price for his choice.

Even if the price is life.

It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future.

"Back to the question you asked me in the first place."

Luden suddenly brought the topic back.

The university scholar Trinity began to ask Lu Deng why the people of Qiyun Kingdom did not choose to kill Lu Deng when they made their last wish.

Luden gave an answer.

However, not a complete answer.

"They didn't kill me because they knew me too well."

Through more than a thousand years of research, the people of Qiyun Kingdom are familiar with Luden's behavior style.

Lu Deng looked at the third scholar and said quietly,
"They know that just as history repeats itself, so will I."

"I will die in Shenbang, just like Qiyun."
