When Wu Ming saw Vincent coming back, he temporarily put aside his sparring with Siegfried and walked quickly to him.
"But..." Vincent went straight to the point, "Before that, I am personally curious about one thing."
Wu Ming waved his hand, indicating to Vincent to continue: "Please speak."
"Where did you go after the Miracle War? Why did you choose to come back at this time?"
Where have you gone? Choose to come back?
Wu Ming's eyebrows jumped when he heard Vincent's question. Then he compared the relevant memories that had been digested in his mind and couldn't help but have many conjectures flashing through his mind. Then he leaned back and quickly calculated the pros, cons and risks of different answers in his mind. Finally, I decided to answer this question sideways with a vague answer.
Wu Ming glanced at Mori without leaving any trace, and then said slowly: "For us, this is an aid operation."
"Assistance?" Vincent frowned. He keenly noticed the suspicious little movements of the other party, but he was not sure what the other party's glance meant. He also tried to secretly check with the Wishing Network to see if the other party was deceiving or malicious, but The result given was negative, which made him even more confused, "Aid to us? Or to whom? What do you want to get?"
Wu Ming, on the other hand, still wore a polite smile that almost felt sore, adhering to the principle that if you talk too much, you will miss the mark, and continued to talk eloquently: "We want to solve some mysteries and solve some problems at the same time... After those questions are answered, they will leave again..."
At the same time, he whispered in his heart: Investigating and solving the problem of Kuroto's time travel is also a problem, and solving the mystery of this world is also solving the mystery... I didn't say exactly what it was... Don't blame me if you misunderstood.
"Let it be believed..." Vincent nodded and did not continue to pursue the matter. He turned to the next topic: "The Pioneer Council hopes to exchange the fragments of the disaster mother body in your hands for research."
Perhaps out of fear of Wu Ming, he added: "Of course there are conditions in exchange..."
"It doesn't matter if we talk about it later." Wu Ming smiled and extended his hand to him: "First of all, I wish us a happy cooperation."
"Cooperating...well, it's a pleasure." Looking at Wu Ming's outstretched hand, Vincent hesitated for a while, and finally he reached out and shook it.
…………
Two days later, near an impact crater with a radius of nearly ten kilometers.
This is the city where the Miracle Saint fought with the Disaster Mother Body before. However, under the impact of the asteroid, the city turned into a huge impact crater. If the Rebel Guards hadn't arrived at the end and used the wishing network to cast a big wishing spell, The surrounding space is temporarily cut into a Möbius strip, which limits the lethality of the asteroid impact. I am afraid that the scale of this impact crater will be even larger than it is now.
Wu Ming and his group were walking on the edge of the impact crater.
They received a commission from the Rebel Guards and prepared to conduct an investigation deep into the impact crater.
"Hmm, I really want to go to the city..." Elizabeth kicked the pebbles under her feet boredly and muttered: "Brother... we have been released for two days, why can't we go to the city yet? ? I really want to see if there is anything delicious here. I heard Mori say that the food made by using the wishing network here is delicious..."
In the past two days, due to the ban from the Pioneer Council and the surveillance of the Rebel Guards, they have been forced to stay in the wilderness and not approach human settlements. For food, they can only rely on Wu Ming to use the material conversion module to refine the soil. Foods such as bread and puffs disappoint Elizabeth, who originally wanted to have a big meal in a nearby city and experience the food from another world.
"This is what they are worried about. You see, after all, in their eyes, Morrie is a destabilizing factor. He has to wear a restraint whenever he goes out..." Wu Ming spread his hands and checked with Vincent. He was not an individual of the Wishing Network, and after the restraint device had no effect on them, the handcuffs on his hands were removed.
Of course, even if the rebel guards want to continue cuffing him, it won't be a big problem. Anyway, there is a containment space, and he can take it off at any time as long as he touches it...
"I'm really sorry for dragging down the travel of you big shots..." Mori, who was making a jingling sound from the restraints on the side, rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I didn't know I had so many restraints. Weapon, who did it..."
Naturally, Morrie was still handcuffed with restraints, and the number was four more than before. However, due to humanitarian considerations and Wu Ming's efforts to ask for high prices for the fragments of the disaster matrix, Vincent finally decided to give him some restraints. Freedom, the restraint device no longer cuffed his hands and feet tightly like a prisoner, but used a pair of handcuffs to lock a limb, and then added a collar around his neck...
"Don't be so angry." Wu Ming patted his shoulder, feeling no guilt at all for cheating Mo Li, "Let's think of something happy. What if your sealed limbs were divided into five levels? As long as someone can collect your body parts in the future, won’t they be able to directly declare victory? This is also a contribution to others..."
The little black man Morrie had blue veins popping out on his forehead: "Is this a happy thing? Besides, what on earth is that thing! Dividing a person into five equal parts sounds scary, doesn't it?"
"Isn't your biggest wish to accomplish a great deed? Transforming into Exodia, who has infinitely high attack power, is also a great deed." Wu Ming spread his hands innocently, with a smile on his face, "Besides, making a wish People in this world can’t die as long as they don’t want to die, so if you cut it into five equal parts, you should just do it..."
Wu Ming raised his head and thought for a moment, recalling some memories about the wishing world from his mind: "Just think of it as a way for young people in this era to find excitement..."
Although Mori didn't know who Exodia was, it didn't stop him from being so angry that black smoke erupted from his body.
After thinking over and over again, he finally didn't take action. This was not only because he couldn't beat the opponent, but also because he didn't want to worry about it - well, he admitted that he just couldn't beat this guy who was so talkative.
In the past two days, Wu Ming, in addition to dealing with Vincent who rebelled against the guards, and sparring with Fei Ge every day, was also busy searching for the missing Elizabeth in the wilderness, digesting and recalling the memories left by Naiya in his mind. , almost never have a moment to spare.
The spirit was too tight and he could only rely on his free time to have fun. However, when Elizabeth couldn't catch the joke and teased Fei Ge that she would be a mastermind during sparring, Wu Ming had no choice but to shift the object of his fun. On to Morrie.
So there is this conversation today.
Of course, the effect is obvious. Wu Ming not only had fun, but Mori was also made upset and angry in a short period of time. He had no time to continue to be autistic and think about life - who am I? I live as a clone. What's the point of this?
It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
"Wu Ming, it would be more efficient to fly or teleport, right?" Siegfried carried a black iron sword that was larger than her body and looked at the scene in the impact crater, "Aren't you going to use the teleportation function this time? "
Wu Ming's attention had mostly shifted to the map drawn by the stealth probe and the information transmitted back. He replied to the dragon girl's question without looking back: "No, other probes will be sent for observation missions." We went out, and the nearby exploration plane had some other missions in the pit. It happened that the mission also required us to go to several places for on-the-spot investigation. If there were no surprises this time, we just walked there..."
According to the information provided by the Rebellion Guard, the residual influence of the Disaster Mother Body fades much slower than expected by the model. The Pioneer Council speculates that there may still be some fragments of the Disaster Mother Body here to some extent, circled Several suspicious locations have been identified, but the details cannot be concluded through long-distance observation. Someone must go in-depth for on-site investigation.
And they were going deep into the impact crater on behalf of the Rebel Guards to find the reason why the pollution failed to subside normally.
As for why I chose them...
That's because apart from Wu Ming and his team, I'm afraid there will never be a second group of people in the world who can go deep into the contaminated area.
In the two days since the establishment of the cooperative relationship, in exchange for providing fragments of the Disaster Matrix, the Rebellion Guards also shared the knowledge that Wu Ming urgently needed.
Among them was the research on the mother body of disaster, and Mori also learned a lot of knowledge that he had never known before.
Areas infested by the disaster mother body will leave a large amount of pollution power. When the pollution power reaches a certain concentration, it will not only greatly strengthen the wish-making effect in that area, but also distort and interfere with the connection between the individual and the wish-making network, making anyone in the area Wishes made within the scope of pollution, or even thoughts that occur in a moment, will be misinterpreted as wish pollution, and originally normal wishes will be realized in a very twisted and malicious way.
This is one of the reasons why in disasters caused by the mother body of disasters, even though people are protected by the wishing network, there will still be a large number of casualties, and even the entire city will be destroyed.
Because wishes and thoughts are misinterpreted.
The desire to end this nightmare was misinterpreted as meaning suicide. Wanting to avoid the pain of the flames, he skipped the burning process and turned directly into charcoal. He wanted to heal his half that was squashed into meat paste. A body was twisted into an asymmetrical shape with only half of the body being ground into meat paste. It would be perfect if the other half of the body was also ground into meat paste... There are countless such distorted wishes.
If you want to move within the contaminated area of the disaster mother body without being too affected, you must either completely block the connection and response mechanism with the wishing network, or you must not belong to the wishing network system at all.
However, those who cannot use the Wishing Network, including the former members of the Rebellion Guards, cannot play any role in facing the disaster mother body and can only wait for death. Therefore, only people like Wu Ming, who do not belong to the Wishing Network and have the power to fight against the mother body of disaster, can come to investigate the contaminated area.
"Just go down from here..." Wu Ming found a relatively gentle slope and waved to the people behind him to follow, "The slope here is relatively gentle, so you don't have to worry about people rolling down directly to the bottom of the pit. , and it is also relatively close to the suspicious marking point. Everyone, come here quickly. I will open the shield and protection and enter the site to investigate..."
Several people quickly gathered together, and then the invisible shield and life-support module unfolded to cover everyone, while Mo Li followed Wu Ming step by step, going down the not steep slope, which took several hours. After continuously investigating five or six marked points, he found nothing. When he was about to go to the marked point in the center of the pit, he suddenly felt a creepy meaning rising from his spine!
