Time can smooth out many things.
The students who experienced the accident have graduated many years ago, and the dean also transferred the rescue team and teachers who experienced the incident out of District 7.
At least until Lu Xiang returned to school, everything was going as smoothly as he planned.
This is a secret.
But the person who really needs to be concealed is not Lu Xiang himself.
"You are avoiding the Council."
Lu Xiang said, "This does not comply with the regulations of the coalition government."
The matter of the undetected meteorite itself is enough to attract the attention of the coalition government. If the dean did not lie, then according to regular procedures, the counterintelligence department or MI7 will accept the case, and she will also be transferred to Relevant agencies, waiting for her will be endless house arrest and experiments.
The only thing Lu Xiang didn't understand was the dean's reason for doing this.
Not reporting the matter meant that he would face huge risks. Once the matter was revealed, he would not only lose his position as Dean of Daystar, but he would also most likely be tried and sent to the highest-security prison in the coalition government.
"I want to hear your reasons."
"Because I decided to believe in fate. Maybe you won't believe it, but when I saw the meteor falling, I heard the call of fate."
Therefore, he needs to conceal everything he discovered deep in the ruins from the coalition government, raise this child to grow up, and tell Lu Xiang what happened that night at a suitable time point.
Even the dean himself didn't understand what fate had promised him. It was more like some kind of impulse that transcended rational thinking and was imprinted on his instinct.
He read countless books, trying to understand the source of the impulse.
The closest explanation is faith.
Fanatic belief will surpass rational judgment and make people blind and persistent.
It’s just that there is no church within the coalition government. After the Dark Age, the Council believes that citizens of the coalition government do not need such dangerous things. They hope that when facing important decisions, only one voice can be heard within the coalition government.
The Lunar Eclipse Religion is the religion with the longest history and the largest number of believers that he knows of.
"And this time point is the day when you grow up and have the ability to protect yourself."
The recent series of turmoil in the core city proved that this day had arrived, and Lu Xiang had indeed arrived in front of him as if guided by fate.
However, fate is always hazy. The dean listens to and follows the guidance of fate, but he does not know where this road will lead.
Maybe Lu Xiang will give him the answer.
"Dean..."
After a long time, Lu Xiang said, "According to Professor Myers' theory, you were probably brainwashed by a person with interfering psychic abilities."
Although she knew she should thank the dean for not referring her to the senate, she had to be realistic and remind him.
Believe in fate and listen to its guidance.
I don’t know where the road ahead leads, but I still follow it.
Strong faith sustains them.
The above is Song Lan's summary of the methods used by whispers in the upper world to confuse people's hearts. In the field of anti-fraud, Slowbird is indeed a good bird.
The dean already has all the criteria for being brainwashed, just like the fanatical believers of the church in the past.
When he was still in the fourth area, Song Lan also explained the interference type psychic energy.
Usually interference-type psychics can only control the target's actions simply and crudely. Implanting an idea is a more advanced method. In order to achieve this method, the biopharmaceutical companies of the joint government have developed a large number of drugs to weaken the individual. Consciousness, so that interfering psychic abilities can take advantage of it.
Developing people into fanatical believers is a higher-level method, which can only be achieved at least to the delta level.
But now is not the time for condemnation.
Lu Xiang already had a vague hunch in her heart that the person who gave "psychological suggestions" to the dean was probably herself. The result of her eagerness to condemn was that she was hit in the back of the head by a boomerang. That was very much in line with Song Lan's style, but she was not Such a funny character.
The first time she interacted with Dr. Bai Zhu, she realized something unusual about herself.
Bai Zhu said that her brain is different from ordinary people and can easily withstand the load brought by the "Deep Web" chip.
Medel said that she was the only person other than Song Lan who could directly give instructions to the Devourer, while most of the other individuals who had conscious connections with the Devourer did so through consultation and communication.
After subsequent research, Merdel discovered that the Devourers were a very strange group of people.
Although it has become much friendlier and kinder under Song Lan's influence, many deep-rooted concepts cannot be changed.
For example, the hierarchy identified by the Devourer.
Song Lan made "human beings" become "friends" in its cognitive system, but Lu Xiang does not seem to be in this category. Medel believes that only when the Devourer recognizes Lu Xiang as a higher-level life form Only then would he obey her instructions.
And now, her head directly accommodates the entire "Sea of Souls".
This cannot be explained by her extraordinary talent. RT6 said that if it were anyone else, handing over the "Sea of Souls" would be enough to break her head, let alone the authority to use the "Sea of Souls".
This is why Lu Xiang decided to make a temporary trip back to Morning Star after finishing his trip to District 4.
As her starting area, Daystar Academy is likely to hide many unknown secrets.
This is like "X City". There are some locations where you have to get the high jump or flying ability in the later stage before you can come back and explore.
"Where are the remains of the meteorite?"
………………………………
This is an express hover car heading to the oasis capital, with bulletproof coating added and the most cool modifications on the market today.
Song Lan felt the need to insert an advertisement here.
Thanks to the brotherhood and the "Garbage Treatment Plant" for their generous sponsorship, this high-end hover vehicle is the car of the person in charge of the "Garbage Treatment Plant". He generously lent the hover vehicle to them to help them travel in the oasis. .
In addition to the top-notch modifications, the car itself will save them a lot of trouble.
Local law enforcement officials did not dare to stop them, thus saving them the time to go through the formalities.
Thank you, unknown person in charge of the “waste treatment plant”.
…
"Look on the bright side, maybe you don't have to kneel on the washboard."
"Nothingness" broke the silence in the car.
William and others who were traveling with him slept like dead pigs. He suspected that even if these humans were kicked off the hovercar, they would not be able to wake up.
He thought a lot along the way. After meeting Song Lan, his always chaotic thoughts became much more organized.
The upper world is not only their hometown, but also the source of their energy. Naturally, he is inevitably affected by it.
The most important manifestation is memory confusion, and many things can only be recalled in fragments.
In terms of human diagnosis, this is a precursor to Alzheimer's disease.
The Chamber of Commerce also very considerately prepared a warehouse of imported medicines for him in case of emergency.
"It is not easy to destroy the upper world. There are many troublesome beings there, so I suspect that you actually have accomplices."
"Nothingness" feels that it would be much more reasonable to view the destruction of the upper world in terms of gang crimes.
And now all clues point to their old friend.
As the only three champions of the Cricket Fighting Competition, she perfectly fits the identity of the criminal suspect in terms of ability and motivation.
In this way, Song Lan no longer has to kneel on the washboard.
"The coalition government has stopped using washboards a long time ago. Now they all use washing machines. Artificial intelligence is indeed very convenient... and why are you still playing detective role-playing games?"
Song Lan figured out "nothingness".
He now suspected that the other party didn't care at all about the whereabouts of the archaeologist. He just wanted to find a chance to break someone's knee with a bullet like the character in the movie.
Among them, Scarface unfortunately became the object of "nothingness" entertainment.
But for Song Lan, the role-playing game is over long ago. He now needs to find the real talker of the Brotherhood and interview them about why they are causing trouble for Lu Xiang.
"It doesn't matter. I can kindly sponsor your washboard. Many families in Oasis are using this."
"Thank you, but if you really have nothing to do, you can try jumping from this height. It should be quite exciting."
"No need."
"Nothing" waved his hand. He noticed that Song Lan seemed to be becoming more and more aggressive since leaving Yunxian Hotel.
Many people would be deceived by Song Lan's harmless appearance, but he was different.
He knew that Song Lan was good at more than just domination. In terms of destruction and destruction, the latter had also reached the pinnacle.
Human beings simply cannot understand the horror of Song Lan's ability.
All lives have limits, even them, and his ability can skip this long process in an instant, allowing all existing lives to reach the end directly.
only……
"Nothingness" glanced at Song Lan.
The latter put down the chair and lay leisurely on it, covering his eyes with an eyepatch with cartoon bird patterns.
This had to make "Nothingness" wonder if William and others were also influenced by Song Lan when they slept so hard.
Compared to them, Song Lan is more like a pathogen that spreads viruses all the time. As long as you give up resistance and are willing to be infected by the virus, you can easily become his good friend.
"What do you remember about that old friend?"
Song Lan asked.
"Her? I remember she was studying you all the time."
"Why?"
"Because your existence is different from ours. You accept believers, establish churches, and draw energy from their beliefs. This is the right way. But since you went to our place, you have spread viruses everywhere, and the atmosphere has been ruined by you. It was destroyed...so she started research on you."
Some beings in the upper world suggested that Song Lan was not of the same kind as them, but something specious, and that he should be banished before the atmosphere was further polluted.
This proposal was strongly opposed by the old friend. She was very interested in the way Song Lan existed and hoped to conduct more in-depth research on it.
"Nothing" coughed lightly and said, "The preliminary results of the research show that this virus is not life-threatening, and can even have the effect of prolonging life to a certain extent, but the side effect is that the patient's waking time is reduced by 20%-35%. , the reaction capacity is reduced by between 15% and 19%, and some particularly severely infected people will completely lose their fighting spirit and live a life of leisurely clouds and wild cranes."
This seriously affects the strategy of the upper world.
The child of prophecy they need is someone who can help them control the thread of destiny, not a "sleep reminder helper" who drags everyone to sleep in together.
But what makes "Nothingness" find it most miraculous is that their old friend has escaped the virus.
"She is different from you. She always arranges everything in an orderly manner. You two can be considered complete opposites."
Now that Song Lan asked, "Nihility" continued on this topic.
The road is long, and the navigation on the floating car shows that it is still 4 hours away from the capital of the oasis.
To him, memory is like a jigsaw puzzle.
He has pieced together a lot, but there are still some unanswered questions.
For example, why did his two friends suddenly become hot-headed and destroy the entire upper world?
Song Lan's character determines that he will never be a proactive change maker, and their old friend... "Nihility" can't figure out her motive for turning her gun on others.
Every time my thinking is limited to this, "Nothingness" can't help but feel angry.
"This is all your fault. Why didn't you take me to play with you later?"
He obviously brought the virus to the upper world!
If you have to pick a culprit, he is probably the most deserving one!
"Aren't we good friends!"
After several years, "Nihility" finally asked the other party angrily, "After all, I am also the champion of the first cricket fighting competition, so there is no problem in dragging down a few people."
The more I think about "nothingness", the more unbalanced I feel.
They were a trio of three musketeers, and while the other two were making waves in the upper world, he was doing serious research in the "lower world", making it seem like he was just here to make up the numbers.
"Why are you holding them back? You have a grudge against them?"
"No grudge."
"and you……"
"Yeah, why should I help you hold them back?"
"Nothingness" realized the problem belatedly, but he quickly changed his words, "This is not a matter of holding them back, this is a matter of the trust of friends! You have not done anything for me until now. Explain why you want to destroy this family!"
"forgotten."
"I guess you can't explain why."
"Nothingness" knew that Song Lan had never been a fan of jigsaw puzzles. Even if he could occasionally glimpse the reflection of memories, he would never bother to put the pieces together.
But that old friend was different.
She always plans well.
Falling like a meteor and the time when Song Lan disappeared may have been part of her plan.
After seeing the real her, I must ask clearly.
"I understand, you are doubting Lao Lu."
"Yes."
…
There was another long silence.
"Why is there nothing more to say?"
"Nothing" couldn't help but ask. He had already prepared Song Lan's question, and then he analyzed it clearly and pointed everything to Lu Xiang.
"I just suddenly thought of an old friend."
"who?"
"Mr. Chaike."
"Chai Ke?"
"Nothingness" thought about it for a long time, but could not match this name with anyone.
The name derives neither from the upper world nor from the upper echelons of the church.
"Assuming you're right..."
Song Lan paused and said, "Mr. Chai Ke once wanted to get rid of Lao Lu and me."
With this momentum alone, Song Lan felt that Mr. Chai Ke should be given an additional 50 million watt bounty.
Small theater its two hundred and fifty-nine:
Monday, a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, afternoon
Time passed by minute by minute, and the only sound left in the office was the sound of the pen tip sliding on the electronic screen.
Guan Lili, who was sitting face to face with Lu Xiang, said, "Minister Lu, I think it's not good for you to be like this."
Although Lu Xiang showed a selfless image of not being interested in griddle potatoes, she held herself back with actual actions.
The cunning Song Lan has long since disappeared.
"Why is it bad?"
Lu Xiang raised his eyes and looked at her, "This is the daily life of public servants in the coalition government."
"Aren't you afraid that the secrets of the counterintelligence department will be leaked?"
"The documents you have there are screened and do not involve confidentiality agreements."
This pile of information was originally prepared for Song Lan. Under the temptation of dried potatoes, Guan Lili unfortunately became the scapegoat.
Song Lan said that he would go back early to prepare ingredients, but Lu Xiang really couldn't think of a reason to stop him.
"That……"
Guan Lili gritted her teeth in resignation and asked again, "After correcting these, can I go to your house for dinner in the evening?"
"Yes, but eating rice must go through a ceremony."
"ceremony?"
"Russian Roulette."
"It's not necessary!" Guan Lili was so frightened that her voice rose, "I just want to have a meal, there's no need to risk my life!"
"It's an improved version."
"ah?"
"You'll see a whole plate of griddle potatoes mixed with ginger, and the first person to eat 10 slices of ginger loses."
