The Riddler Get Out of Terra

"...feeling better?"

As if he was shocked by Xi's different and fierce attitude from usual, Hao Zhao was stunned for a while, and then asked her with a bit of bitterness. What he received was Xi's reluctant snort, which made the orange cat smile bitterly:

"Sorry, it's impossible to leave Jingzhe here now. After all, she is my friend. Compared to others, I still..."

The orange cat sighed with difficulty and looked up at the stars, with a rare confusion in his eyes:

"When I met Ajie, I made up my mind to save the poor people in the world. I want the sufferers to stop suffering, the victims don't have to suffer, and make the world a better place. There will be no pain in the world that can never be recovered."

"So I can always find reasons and positions to ridicule other people openly and point fingers at them from the moral high ground, because I feel that the path I have chosen is much more difficult than theirs, and the spiritual questioning I have to face is countless - but When the first torture came, I found that I was almost the same as Jingzhe and the others, and the first words that came to my mind were the distinction between closeness and distance, save friends first."

So is this what you want to tell me?

The starry sky that has not changed for a long time is still blinking, but the connection between Kong Ming and him has become increasingly dull. From the moment they entered this unique underworld fantasy, the connection between Kong Ming and him became monotonous.

Qinglong made this place composed of Jingzhe

The fantasy is a test, to see how the orange cat will choose a side when faced with a truly cruel choice.

You really understand me, your first choice was so accurate.

The message returned finally stopped flowing into the sea, and Kong Ming’s deep and clear voice once again lingered in my ears:

[I am not testing you, but [Qiao Lun] is testing you, Wen Yuan, your ambition is very lofty, but it is too broad and too broad. It is difficult to see how much firm will is included in it - yes, it is Yes, of course you are stronger-willed than ordinary people, but that is because you have power far beyond theirs, so I want to see what choices you will make when facing friends and strangers, Gou Wu and Huang Quan. 】

Oh, do I need to say this?

Hao Zhao sneered in the connection.

【oh?Have you thought of a good solution to all this? 】

Qinglong was rarely interested.

Of course I thought about it!

[Then...please start your performance? 】

He still maintained a sense of curiosity and never directly connected his thoughts with Hao Zhao.

dad!Kong Ming’s father!Dad Klein!Macaron daddy!Akashi’s mother!Mother Bemos!Garuda mother!Grandpa Qiao Lun!I'm about to lie down!Please help! ! !

The orange cat smiled slightly, and without any shame asked for help from the big guys he knew well in the entire psychic sea!

【? ? ?you……】

Kong Ming sounded like he was cheated after giving money, and he was quite doubtful about life:

[Aren’t you a hero?Aren't you proud?Didn’t you say you wanted to save the common people?Why are you so spineless now? ! 】

Because I am a member of [Qiao Lun], not an ordinary person - if [Qiao Lun] asks me to give up this power, even if there is a mental flaw, which indirectly causes the magnetic field to go out of control, I will resolutely carry out it. Now I am encountering difficulties. , of course I also want to ask [Qiao Lun] for help?

Hao Zhao asked back with righteousness.

[I thought you had to at least turn into a corner and think about it for a long time, and even decided to ask [Qiao Lun] for help until nothing could be done...]

Qinglong smacked his lips in boredom.

Chapter 251 Madman ([-])

Iroha: [Hahahaha! ! !What's wrong, Hao Zhao?Didn’t you say that if you want to be a hero, you don’t need our help? 】

Bemos: [Yo yo yo, didn’t a certain cat say that the cat wants to be a wild cat and doesn’t need to eat cat food?Why did you go to the master's house to show mercy again? 】

Akashi: [Bemos, are you mocking Meow Meow! ! !Meow is not a pet cat, meow! ! ! 】

Klein: [Ah, I, who is far away in Victoria, can't help. Besides, I'm not a combat type. I haven't been exposed to the new system for a few days. Even if I possess you, I can't improve your combat effectiveness... …]

Garuda: [I am busy now and still working overtime. Didn’t Sarkaz say that all loyal people are loyal to the king?Why are there so many moles and [-] boys and the Anti-Devil Alliance?Gan!I haven’t had a holiday for a long time! 】

Macaron: [It’s okay. I’ve already started to try the third administrative model in Yanan. The effect is not very good. Victoria’s way is not acceptable in Rupert’s territory. Different lifestyles, different living habits, and different customs. Inheritance, it would be too outrageous to want to continue with the same political system...]

Klein: [Well, Victoria is certainly not a good administrative model. As we all know, this place is barely in the historical stage of the first industrial revolution where human lives were taken care of. If you follow this change, won't you push the people of Yanam to death? 】

Macaron: [Okay, next time I’ll project it to your place to have a look. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll try to find a way to go to Colombia to do some flower work. 】

Hao Zhao: [Brothers! !Sisters! !The situation is urgent now. Please think of a way to help! 】

Bemos: [Believe in yourself!you can! 】

Akashi: [How about I borrow the power that Meowth used [the third hand] from the Nian beast to use first?It's just that the research has reached the latest stage recently, and there seems to be incomprehensible fragmentary records on it...it seems to hold a big secret. 】

Augustus: […That thing is now my research topic. If you can’t speak, you don’t have to talk about it. 】

Belfast: [Ara, everyone is very excited~ I have a special design map for spiritual creatures that needs to be tested in [Yellow Spring]. If Zhao is interested, why don’t we start directly? 】

Klein: [Ahem, Befa, forget it, those things you created have now caused biological invasion in Victoria. It’s too troublesome to deal with. Wenyuan is very busy now. Cleaning up Huangquan will be overworked. died. 】

Hao Zhao: [@汉信,@tartarlos, grandpa, grandpa!Look quickly! 】

Qiao Lun: [Klein, come here. 】

Klein: [...Okay. 】

Zhuge Kongming: [Then I...]

Qiao Lun: [The experiment has produced results. It is feasible to project the underworld in the Mansu and use the characteristics of the projection and the underworld to act as a connection point between reality and the Mansu. However, it is very unstable and can easily drift to this continent. I don’t know where to go, so I need the cognition of spiritual creatures as an anchor to fix Huangquan in a certain position. 】

Zhuge Kongming: [So? 】

Qiao Lun: [Now the unlucky ones with high inspiration in Gouwu City have set a target. The [Yellow Spring] projection is fixed in Gouwu and cannot be moved for the time being. Hao Zhao cannot handle it alone. The remaining parallels are It's up to you to take care of the memory. 】

Zhuge Kongming: [6]

Qiao Lun: [@Hao Zhao, what the hell are you doing with this?

The underworld?There's something wrong with the movements of the year, and there's something wrong with the dragon stuck in his tail. Lego (the God of Life) has blocked the entire [Underworld], and all that's been cast in Mansu is a projection. The dragon's activities are obviously too active, and he may be up to something. . 】

Hao Zhao: […I met Nian’s sister and planned to recommend her to Alphonse, but the situation of the underworld was urgent, so I had no choice but to take her with me first. The abnormal movements of the year must be related to her, and the activeness of the real dragon must also be related to the year. , so...can I use the power of Xin Liezhi (the God of Wisdom) to use some methods on Huangquan's body? 】

Qiao Lun: [If you can accept that all the concepts, thinking, history books, and records related to the Yan Kingdom and the true dragon have been tampered with, and there will be hundreds of millions of mistakes in the future, I don't care. 】

Hao Zhao: [Grandpa, farewell, I’ll come in person! 】

·

[Wow, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the stars are brilliant~]

Klein's interesting voice sounded in his ears. The orange cat followed his words and looked up at the sky, but did not notice any difference from Victoria:

'What's the difference?'I remember that when I was in Longmen, Kong Ming often devoted himself to going to Victoria to have tea with you. I was also led by him to go there several times. I saw Victoria’s night, and it seemed to be no different. '

[There is a difference, there is a difference. 】

Klein stared at the stars and asked Hao Zhao to look to the left and record more star maps.

As one of the feathered incarnations of Joram's combination of logic and reason, Crane Conan Moriarty, the great detective of Victoria Londinium fame, soon discovered something different:

[Wen Yuan probably rarely looks at the stars. ] Klein spoke gently like a teacher giving lessons to children: [If you study astronomy, you can almost capture the time and place of the parallel memory you entered. If you are more adventurous, your location is Great Yan, but The time was a long time ago. Considering the records about the Titan Lunqiao that Bemos had transmitted, it should have been around the time when the Titan was plotted by the True Dragon and the Sui Beast together. 】

[By the way, look further ahead. I want to see the actions of those wanderers and turn my eyes. 】

After the star observation was over, Klein became interested in the hazy wanderer in the shadow in the distance and asked Hao Zhao to take a quick look to provide him with further evidence.

Sure enough, Black Cat quickly came up with a surprising argument that Xi and Hao Zhao had not paid attention to:

[Confirmed, around the time I guessed, this should not be the memory of the Yan Kingdom spy you mentioned. There must be other things intervening in the illusion. Coupled with the restlessness of the real dragon in the underworld, I guess... Something is wrong with both of them. 】

?

'Wait a minute?You've said so much in just a few glances, and you're still so sure, aren't you afraid of getting it wrong?Besides, Terra’s astrology changes a lot, how did you estimate the time?Besides, the restlessness of the real dragon and Sui Xiang might not be due to the projection of Huang Quan onto Gou Wu. They smelled the breath of the Yan Kingdom, so they couldn't help it...'

【Do you believe this yourself? 】

'……Do not believe. '

[Well, with some basic reasoning, why should you be confused? ] Klein sighed: [You are just like those Victorian aristocrats, unable to see the small details hidden in the ordinary. They are both feathers. I remember that your setting is that you are bold, careful, and accomplished. Why? What if it becomes like this? 】

'Okay, don't be too pretentious. I'm not a crayfish. If you say something right, I'll definitely listen. '

Hao Zhao's face darkened.

Chapter 252 Madman ([-])

[Okay, okay, okay,] Klein lost interest: [In the end, it’s just that you haven’t thought about this. If you really know something about Terra’s astrology, you will know that although the star branches here are different from those on Earth, there are still some Some characteristics cannot be hidden. 】

[For example, the Virgin Mary, the brightest in the Victoria area, is a constellation composed of multiple stars. As the seasons change, it appears to circle, deform, twist and other moving phenomena that are contrary to normal astronomy. According to its observation, plus Through the vegetation types, leaf shapes, soil colors, etc. in the area you see with your eyes, you can figure out the seasons and geographical climate. I can roughly understand the azimuth gap and geographical level between your location and Victoria - very strange. According to the astrology, you The location should be in ancient Gouwu or further south, but the vegetation state shows that you are further north and closer to the capital of Yan Kingdom. The strangeness cannot be ignored. 】

Hearing Klein mention the astrology, Hao Zhao could not help but nod in the psychic sea and admitted that he did not study much about the astrology. In the beginning, Hao Zhao was actually positioned as an undercover Longmen to observe the political ecology of the Yan Kingdom. He was just a casual observer. With Kong Ming's return, as his status becomes more and more important, more and more sand can be mixed in, and he can share the responsibilities of the orange cat. In addition, he himself is becoming less and less interested in Longmen, so Yaexia and Mi Die took on different positions, observing Longmen on his behalf, while he himself took time to travel around the Yan Kingdom, and even developed a new system that had nothing to do with the psychic energy and Origin Stone systems.

When he became the director of the Guards Bureau, he learned how to handle police affairs, communicate with officers, coordinate funds, and solicit sponsorship in a timely manner. When he was studying the new system, he concentrated on the exercises given by Lun Qiao. He wished that one minute could become 1 minutes. The body of the cultivator who was possessed by walking fire and possessed by magic in the depths of the earth exploded no less than a thousand bodies, sometimes so much that Qiao Lun was reduced to pieces with blood still cold and squeezed again instead of repairing them and continuing to use them.

In the remaining days, even when traveling, he would help with this.

Look at that, I don’t want to see people suffering, so I can’t help but take action, and when I take action, I habitually cut the grass and root out the roots without even touching the ground.

After staying on the ground for a long time, I no longer have the heart to look up at the stars.

What's more, he almost died when he was observing the sky at night in Longmen. If it weren't for Kong Ming's cleverness, Qiao Lun would have wanted to delete Hao Zhao's personality data forever to avoid future troubles...

Why would he spend time paying attention to astronomy?

[As for the year, it is easier to guess. Although the stars are weird, there are still a few stars whose positions change every few decades, and their periodic changes are not the same. Find out the star types and then calculate them through very simple common multiples. , I can almost sum up several years, and my aunt has calculated several historical nodes that are thousands of years apart - but I guess you don’t want to know when those wrong nodes are, and what happened during that time. , so I will tell you directly how to find out the time. 】

Klein's narration is still going on. During the days when he was conducting detective activities in Victoria and placing feathers to lurk in various research institutes, hospitals, factories, laboratories, farms and even police stations in Victoria, it seemed that he had honed his language art and told the audience I will briefly skip the parts that I am not interested in, and focus on explaining the more important logical fragments:

[Although the clothes and patterns of those people are the same as those in Yanguo today, you don’t seem to realize the sense of disobedience in them - Wenyuan, look at the homeless man in tattered gray clothes in the distance. Look what's under the faded patent leather on the wooden basket he carries the child on. 】

Hao Zhao looked closely, and in the magnetic field perception, the small withered yellow piece smaller than the nail of his little finger was extremely inconspicuous.

[The branches used in the wooden basket are tree species that are strictly guarded by the Yan Kingdom today. To put it bluntly, in a certain period of time, decades later, someone was found to be using such branches to make wooden baskets. I am afraid that they will be arrested by the Yamen. I caught him and asked him where he was found and if he had any accomplices. 】

'?That branch is a rare tree species in the Yan Kingdom and is already on the verge of extinction? '

[No,] Klein analyzed calmly: [But the consequences of being discovered are worse than stealing rare tree species. If he is really involved in the case, I am afraid that all three tribes will be implicated. 】

'oh? Hao Zhao became interested: "I'm actually interested. What kind of tree is it?" '

[In fact, you have seen it every day. You can see it from time to time in Gouwu, Yancheng, Jingcheng, Shangshu, Yumen... and even Longmen. 】

Klein gave a reminder. Seeing that Hao Zhao was thoughtful, he didn't show off and directly told the orange cat what the branch meant in the modern Yan country:

[Less than a month after the real dragon tore the beast apart, he issued the "Paper Currency Act", replacing gold, silver and copper coins with banknotes as trading items in the Yan Kingdom. The first banknotes were sold in Victoria as an antiquities of the Yan Kingdom for a shocking price. The wood used to make it is a secret tree species that has not been changed for thousands of years. It is not circulated to the outside world and within the country of Yan. It is only cut and used under the supervision of the army, rain terraces and other agencies. Those who cut it illegally are also involved in the production of counterfeit currency. , I have read Victoria’s records about that tree species. The characteristic branch patterns can be preserved in the inner layer of banknotes, and you can see the special lines when you shine them against the light - this has always been one of the ways Yan Guo identifies the authenticity of banknotes. . 】

Speaking of the beauty, Klein’s voice was strange and he began to introduce the evidence with rhetorical questions:

[In your opinion, what kind of family must be able to use controlled species to make wooden baskets after the promulgation of the Paper Currency Act, and what kind of status can they avoid the plan to destroy the wooden baskets? 】

[As far as I know, Yanguo has launched tree species inventory activities across the country every 50 years since the promulgation of the True Dragon Act. It strictly prohibits the outflow of any controlled tree species to prevent special talents from imitating counterfeit currency. Even trees of the same type with similar characteristics to tree species must be promptly Inventory, transplanting and replanting in controlled areas, so when Yuri brought up the counterfeit banknote case, Yanguo people were caught off guard - because they never expected that after the controlled tree species were inventoried countless times, there were still seeds left outside, and there were still people who worked hard to find them. Raise a forest to provide raw material production and allow counterfeit banknotes to be issued in Yanguo. 】

[Once every 50 years, it has been said at least thirty times now, right? 】

Klein sighed: [The tree is not an industrial product and cannot be quickly produced on the assembly line. It takes a long time to grow and spread its branches and leaves. But before it can grow into a forest, another inventory operation comes. 】

[In addition, they are wanderers and have no material conditions to access controlled tree species, so with a little logic, they can almost know the time period that the wooden basket can exist - if you grasp the time period, you can penetrate into the Jingzhe Illusion. Isn’t the identity of his existence ready to be revealed? 】

[And its tail is tied to the neck of Sui Beast. If something happens to it, will Sui Beast be okay?But now that Sui Beast is safe and sound, that can only mean... there is something wrong with the Xi you brought with you! 】

Chapter 253: Madman ([-])

[Logically speaking, you took a lot of risks with her. You should have noticed that there was something wrong with her a long time ago, right?Why haven't you said anything yet? 】

Klein wondered, not understanding why Hao Zhao didn't ask directly to find out the situation:

[Generally speaking, she is more urgent than you about the resurrection of the Sui beast. For us, the resurrection of an ancient behemoth may be an opportunity to watch a good show, but for the incarnation of the Sui phase, it is a matter of life and death. Why didn't I tell you directly about the crisis? 】

Hao Zhao glanced at Xi. The incarnation of the age was now relaxed. She seemed to suddenly remember that she was a painter, and took advantage of her parallel memory to see

After visiting many places where others had been, I became interested in painting, so I daubed it on the magnetic sky lock. The blue and purple lightning flashed away, and the spiritual Xi ink appeared in my hand again. She sat quietly on the painted chair. Motionless, the red pupils no longer focused, but only took in the entire scene in the distance into his sight.

Maybe in the next moment, she will freeze this moment in her memory, and then extract the same gloomy and sad scenery from her memory, mix the two, write it in her imagination, and finally put it into writing.

'I asked, and even went out of my way to avoid the monitoring and questioning, but she didn't say anything. She just said it was nothing and told me not to meddle in other people's business. '

The orange cat's peek disappeared in a flash. He quickly turned his head and stared in the same direction as Xi. There, the dim night swallowed everything, but could not stop the strong gazes of the two Transcendents. They quietly looked at the hidden place in the wilderness. Wanderers dragging their families with them in the darkness stage a drama of silent migration. Farther away, there are natural disaster clouds that are ready to strike, infected beasts eyeing in caves, and even bandits with weapons hiding in dark corners... they are all here. Waiting for the arrival of this group of wanderers.

Hao Zhao's hand was itchy and he couldn't wait to punch him, but he knew that this was an illusion and the result of doing so was meaningless. Maybe when Jingzhe's dream is shattered, these people who are struggling to survive in the wilderness will return to vanity, just like They are born here and die here as well.

He has experienced too many such stories. From the first person he met to the current wanderer, the orange cat has destroyed many vivid lives and destroyed many magnificent memories mixed with dreams.

People always have to face reality.

Xi beside her was still motionless, she had solidified like a statue.

Staring at the sunset, there was a headache and uneasiness in his eyes:

'Actually, I also noticed something unusual about her: After seeing Jingzhe, Xi's expression looked very strange, and the preface and postscript did not match up. Many of the parallel memories required careful and in-depth observation of the clearance methods to break them. Some of them were In the King of Kitchen Competition, some are about appreciating handicrafts, and some are about following someone through a period of life that they don't want to recall. Simply breaking things up can sometimes make things worse. '

'But she actually bluntly believed that the memory of Jingzhe could be shattered with her hands...either she discovered something, or something communicated with me on her behalf. '
