Lu Ning put the gun back into his boot.
Wei Yin didn't bother with her bringing such a murderous weapon into the library. What she was worried about now was how to account for the book. After all, for a student, damaging such precious books and materials was a very serious matter.
"Don't worry about this for now. You should be able to explain it to your professor. The point is... now that you know the Blue Rose Badge, what conclusions can you draw from this clue?"
The diversion of attention was obviously very useful. Although Wei Yin still had a frown on her face, she quickly answered:
"Of course there is a record of the issuance of the badge. If we start from this record, we can find the exact date, and then study what exactly Risufo did at that time. Since history exists, it will not be easily erased, and every detail will be It allows us to recreate the scene at that time!”
Once she started to think about it, Wei Yin's mind started to spin very fast.
"So, Risufo's death—the remains of the god—I think I know! His abilities, his—"
"Don't say it, Wei Yin." Lu Ning made a quiet gesture.
Only then did Wei Yin realize that she was a little too excited. She nodded repeatedly and held the book in her arms and refused to let go.
"The Blue Rose has only been awarded twenty-four times in history. There are also records of the eras and regions where plague broke out in history. As long as the time matches, I can calculate the approximate age and then determine the city. The establishment time range! Thank you! Now my research will have a big breakthrough. As long as I can get some fragments about the time from Lisufo's manuscript... I will call Sa Xiu without further ado! "
"Then I'll keep this badge for now."
Lu Ning put the badge into his pocket.
"Lu Ning, although I don't know what you are discussing, I can guess pretty much just by guessing." Wei Yin's expression became more serious, "That person, did the thing he took away be... Very important? Li Yanke, I have heard of him. He has outstanding research results in mysticism and semiotics, but he has a bad temper and does not like to communicate with others. Few people know what his personality is."
"I understand, thanks for reminding me."
The three of them walked towards the library door while chatting, and happened to meet two other professors walking into the library together.
The one on the left has a rugged appearance and a very heroic appearance. His auburn hair and beard are all connected together, and his physique is as strong as that of an athlete. The one on the right has long silver hair, a short beard, a tall and thin figure, and a scholar-like elegance.
"Wei Yin?" The silver-haired professor walked in and saw Wei Yin and immediately smiled, "Coming to the library again?"
"Professor Pfister! Professor Remington! Good morning!"
"Hahaha, it's good morning until noon, that's right!"
The rugged man stroked his beard and laughed, completely ignoring the library's rules against making noise. Of course, no one dared to care about this man.
Zombie Professor - This rough-looking man has unparalleled attainments in biology and genetic research. It is even rumored that he has developed a real zombie virus in Vice City. The reason why it has not been spread is because he is in a good mood.
The silver-haired professor and demon mentor Pfister is also a celebrity who has reached the pinnacle in the field of physics. If his experimental research was not too dangerous and was expelled from the academic community, he would probably be as famous in this world as Newton, Hertz, Landau, and Einstein. Waiting for others in general.
Being famous is worse than meeting each other. After taking a brief look at the conversation between Wei Yin and the two of them, Lu Ning understood why they were extremely famous professors in the school.
They are not solitary geniuses. On the contrary, they are very willing to exchange their ideas with others. Even a student like Wei Yin, who is far removed from her own field, can still have a very pleasant conversation. Whether it is the straightforward Remington or the attentive Feist, they also noticed Lu Ning and Ye Nai who were traveling with them during the chat. And he very skillfully brought the two of them into the topic they were talking about.
Eloquence, ability, and charisma are all there. Even if he knew what these two people had done, it was really difficult for Lu Ning to connect them with those things in this kind of communication.
"I'm really not familiar with history. Maybe Feist has done some research! After all, physics students seem to like reading biographies of famous people, right?"
"Has studying physics left such an impression on you?" Pfister shook his head helplessly and chuckled, "But if you ask me, I would suggest you look for the Photography and Painting Gallery on the fourth floor, where a large number of Rubbings are mostly photocopies taken from some stone monuments, murals and the like. You have to know that things that cannot be described in words will be preserved in objects."
"But I'm not an expert in identification..."
"Hahaha! What's so difficult about this? Feist, you have nothing to do anyway, so why not accompany her on this topic? It's also a good time to rest your brain, which is full of formulas and theorems!" Remington patted her directly. Lu Ning could even hear a loud "bang" sound from Feist's back.
"Professor?" Wei Yin was a little confused.
"Ahem, ahem, hobby. Although this guy is rude, it's okay to come to me if you need it."
"Then thank you, Professor!" Wei Yin bowed directly.
Feist smiled and looked at Lu Ning and Ye Nai again: "Look at your age, you two haven't gone to college yet? Since you can accompany Wei Yin here to look for books, you are also interested in knowledge, right? You are also welcome to come to my office at any time. Come, when you go to college, maybe you can enter my department..."
"Forget it! Physics is so difficult to master! How many physicists can't study anything in their lifetime? Our laboratory is still fun. You never know what characteristics the bacteria will develop after dozens of generations of screening and culture—— "
"Get out! Don't teach your perverted hobbies to young people!" Pfister became angry when he heard Remington slandering his subject.
"Professor...that..." Wei Yin quickly smoothed things over, "I just had something...someone wanted to grab a book from me, but the back cover was removed. I want to borrow it now..."
When Remington heard this, he also saw that the back cover of the book in Wei Yin's hand was missing, and he immediately bared his teeth viciously: "Who is robbing books in the library? If I see him, I have to throw him into the incubation room. Locked up for three days. It’s okay, I’ll write you a note and just talk to the administrator directly.”
"Thank you Professor!"
"Where's Gunk?" Fister looked around, "Is your mentor not here?"
"The professor was busy with several projects. He brought me over to explain the situation and then left... I didn't know what to do."
"That guy is so busy every day." Remington sneered, took out a notebook from his pocket, wrote a note, and handed it to Wei Yin.
"I have other things to study now. Professor Pfister came to the library for something, right? Can I go back and send you an email to make an appointment?" Wei Yin took the note and felt a stone fall in her heart.
"Okay, I have time this week." Fister nodded, "On the Sabbath, go out and play with your little boyfriend more. It's a rare holiday."
"Hey, Professor, you understand us."
"I'm not too old." Feist laughed and then stepped out of the way, "Okay, let's go have some fun. You shouldn't be moldy in the library like us old guys at your age."
"The library will be angry."
"Then first spit out all the papers and books I contributed here."
Pfister waved his hand, and then he and Remington walked into the bookshelves inside.
===================
After leaving the university, Wei Yin was going to meet Sa Xiu in District 7, while Lu Ning and Ye Nai were not in a hurry to go there.
After agreeing to meet again later, Lu Ning took Ye Nai into the familiar Internet cafe.
Gu Tong was still wearing a security uniform and sitting beside a water dispenser in a daze. Suddenly, his eyes lit up when he saw Lu Ning come in. Lu Ning went directly to the front desk and opened a private room. Then when she passed Gu Tong, she told him to deliver two cans of drinks to the private room.
After the drinks were delivered, the first thing Lu Ning asked was: "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I want to leave too." Gu Tong said with a bitter face, "The APP on my mobile phone is locked. Not only can't I see the mission, but the communication is also completely cut off. Even if I send the escape command, I can't send it out."
"What about you?"
"I will leave automatically when the mission time limit is up. This is the only way."
Seeing Gu Tong's confident look, Lu Ning couldn't help but wonder if he had been in such a miserable state before.
"Forget it, as long as you have connections, how have you been these days?"
"It's better. Anyway, I'm debt-free. At most, I won't get any points this time, and I won't be deducted much. After all, the tasks are locked."
"Are you going to just shrink to the end?"
"I went out to look for bad books yesterday, but I couldn't find them. I thought this was probably not reliable..."
"This is unreliable, but it's not just this. Haven't you investigated anything else?"
"Are you talking about people with abilities? I shrank because I recognized this fact."
Gu Tong had a troubled look on his face.
"You have to know that the difficulty of the scenes in the distribution center is not divided by strength. It is not surprising even if there is a Mythic War plane collision in the first-order scene, so we also have to know when to fight and when to retreat."
"Is there anyone else who sums it up like this?" Ye Nai seemed to have heard something unbelievable.
"If we are assigned abilities, or special abilities are easy to obtain, then we can also deal with some powerful enemies. But this scene does not provide initial abilities and is difficult to obtain. The enemy... is already involved in the future of time and space, and cognition. If you have abilities like cause and effect, you obviously can't fight them." Gu Tong said it as a matter of course.
"Then why is it an optional mission?"
"Optional means a high mortality rate! Anything that is not absolutely impossible can be listed as optional! It's up to you to challenge yourself. As long as I can survive, I have enough savings..."
Ye Nai shook his head and turned to look at Lu Ning: "There is no hope for this person, Lu Ning. Once a tourist chooses to retreat, no one can bring him back unless he is forced to do a mission."
"Can't you pull him back? Gu Tong, at least tell us first. Where did you learn that the enemy's ability this time involves time, space and cause and effect?"
"Many things are very vague. Doesn't this interfere with our cognition? It's different from the one in the distribution center. If you can't find it in the scene, it's a problem with the scene. As for the cause and effect of time and space...that's all I'll say."
"You definitely know something!"
Although Gu Tong still looked lazy, Lu Ning didn't believe him.
It wouldn't be surprising if someone at the first level meets such a person, but how could someone who has gone through the test of level up not understand that stopping means failure? Is he really not worried that the end of this mission will be a devastating blow to the entire scene?
"That's all you ask me. It's all experience. It's a cliché. If you go to the distribution center and ask a few people who have experienced many scenes, they will guess this. The ability to time and space is not unusual. The trouble is that the scene itself is a time and space trick, but even so , If we don’t have the ability, let’s not go head-to-head with that kind of ability.”
Gu Tong waved his hand and touched the door.
At this moment, Ye Nai opened the fan instantly and rushed to the door in one step. The sharp edge of the folding fan pressed directly on Gu Tong's shoulder and pointed at his throat.
"Stop talking before you leave!"
Being pointed at the vital point, Gu Tong did not show any fear. Instead, he reached out and squeezed the fan.
"Iron? It's not light. Being able to get this kind of thing means that the energy behind you is not bad. But little girl, although I look a little decadent, I have practiced it!"
He swallowed his chest and abdomen suddenly, avoiding the fan blade, and then punched the black tiger from the bottom up to the heart. Ye Nai immediately turned his fan and blocked it on his chest. Gu Tong turned his fist into a palm and pushed him forward. His strength was not small. Ye Nai took two steps back to stabilize his body. In this gap, Gu Tong had already grabbed the door. Out.
Lu Ning sat next to him and didn't move at all.
"Lu Ning! Where is your gun? Why didn't you stop him?"
"It's useless to stop him." Lu Ning gently shook the drink can in his hand, "The last time I saw him, he was in a state of panic and didn't know what to do, so it should be true that the mandatory task was not completed. However, This time he has confidence. This confidence cannot be given to him by ordinary tourists like us, because there is no need to hide it from us, just like Li Yanke did before. But, if he becomes... well, it probably won't be, so I really want to know what emboldened him.”
"I do not understand……"
"When I was picking up the drinks, I put a listening device on him. It was originally a courtesy, but now, I think we are getting close to the true identity of another 'special tourist'."
Lu Ning put the drink on the table.
Do not drink anything given by someone who is already an unknown friend or foe, and act with caution.
"Shall we chase now?"
"Why are you anxious? It's okay to let him run away. Although someone has given him the capital to compete, I guess he will still stay here most of the time." Lu Ning took out a USB flash drive, "Now I want to see what Cheng Yurun does. I left something useful.”
Seventy-two hours have passed, and now it's time to unlock.
Cheng...since it's the same "Cheng", at least don't let people down too much.
