Standing in the center of the research conference room, looking at the huge 3D projection in front of him, Meredith covered her mouth and let out a small exclamation.

"Todd, I know you have a secret, but I never thought it would be like this......"

Todd, who had taken on a human form in the soul space, took out two cans of beer from the freezer, threw one to Meredith, and opened his own.

Meredith pulled open the beer ring in a similar way, looked at the foam that kept coming out of it, was stunned for a long time, and finally said: "In this way, many things can be explained." ”

Todd sat down in his office chair and asked, "What can be explained?"

"How can a little man with no roots and no foundation build a powerful kingdom in just five years? and how can he make an epoch-making instrument like a microscope? and ......"

Todd stretched out his hand and interrupted Meredith's words, "Let's cut to the chase again, I'd like to ask about Jingju." ”

Meredith carefully sat down on the swivel chair, twisted her body, and then kicked her feet, turning her body on the chair three hundred and sixty degrees, and said with a smile: "As someone from another more advanced world, shouldn't I know more about Jingsu than I do?"

"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I don't know more about Jingsu than you do. ”

"By the way, tell me, what is your world like?"

"Just like the scroll describes, giant birds made of steel, tall buildings made of stone, iron chariots that are speeding forward, and so on. ”

Meredithstone froze, turned his gaze to Todd, and asked tentatively, "Do you think that the world that the Muayyad patriarch arrived in is actually your world?"

Todd pursed his lips: "It may or may not be." What I really care about is, how exactly does the Black Tower work and how to control it?"

Meredith ignored Todd's question, and instead followed the topic of another world and asked, "One thing I'm very curious about is that if the Black Tower can really make people go to your world, will you leave here forever in order to go back?"

Todd was silent for a moment, and said expressionlessly, "It's useless to discuss these now, I need to know the details of those scrolls." ”

Meredith took a sip of her beer, put it down with a frown, and didn't ask any further: "Those scrolls were hidden under the Elders' Church, and they should be guarded by Elder Eliad now. I only looked at it a few times a long time ago, and I can't restate all the specific contents. ”

Seeing Todd's eyes wide in annoyance, Meredith smiled and said, "Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet." Although I can't write down all the specific contents, I have excerpted and memorized some fragments of the symbols displayed on the crystal screen, and I can write them to you. ”

Todd pointed to the 3D projection in front of him: "In the soul space, you can project any memory in the form of pictures and words to the center. ”

Meredith did as she was told, and a small piece of torn parchment immediately appeared on the 3D projection in the center of the conference room, and some strange symbols that were mutilated appeared on the paper.

The first word, a horizontal top, a circle in the middle, and a horizontal below.

The second word, one circle at the top, two horizontal at the bottom.

The third word has two circles at the top and a horizontal one at the bottom.

Todd looked at these strange symbols, and suddenly his head grew: "You mean, these symbols have appeared in the room of the black giant tower?"

"That's right, the same symbols that appeared on the crystal screen. Because the symbols are relatively simple to construct, I can't be mistaken. ”

While Todd was carefully examining the symbols, Meredith was also observing his expression, and after a while, the woman smiled wryly and said, "It seems that you don't know the meaning of these symbols either." ”

Todd frowned, looked at the picture for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Although these symbols have a simple structure, among the words I know, none of them match them. ”

Meredith fiddled with the crow feathers on her body, and her tone sounded a little disappointed: "Originally, I thought you would be able to decipher these symbols, but it seems that this is not possible...... Actually, if you want to understand those scrolls, you might have a better candidate. ”

Meredith's words stunned Todd, who asked, "A better candidate?"

Meredith's expression was smiling, but there was no trace of warmth in his words: "Who else could it be, of course it's Rachel." ”

"Meredith, I know what you're trying to say...... Rachel, she does come from the Presbyterian Church, and she is indeed a member of the Discord Legion. Todd stared into Meredith's eyes and said categorically, "However, she who could have had the opportunity to abandon me, betray me, and take power of the kingdom did not do so. Even during her time in the Land of Shadows, she resolutely stayed by my side regardless of the danger to her life. So, there was no need for her to test my bottom line with lies at all. ”

Meredith ignored the anger implicit in Todd's words and whispered, "Todd, woman...... Especially beautiful and intelligent women, who have always been a creature of grudges. They will bury their hatred in their hearts and use every opportunity to accomplish their goal of revenge. ”

Todd's hands gripped the edge of the table and he almost squeezed a sentence out between his teeth: "Do you have any evidence against Richel's allegations?"

Meredith pulled his finger out of the black crow feather, placed it in the center of his eyebrows, and said calmly, "One of the abilities of the Soul Link is the ability to forcibly read the memories and thoughts of others. As long as you use this ability on Richel, you will naturally know the truth of the matter. ”

Todd lowered his face and said in a deep voice, "You should understand that I can't do that. ”

"If that's the case, then please keep this matter in your heart. Meredith shook her head helplessly: "No wonder there is a saying in my hometown, even if you are a loving couple, you will have some little secrets that you can't see each other." ”

With that, she stood up and walked to the door of the conference room, where Todd's shout suddenly came from behind.

"Stop!"

Meredith slowly turned his head, the lake-blue eyes under the crow's mask, and looked at the man in front of him, with some emotions in them that were difficult to describe in words.

Todd stared into the woman's eyes and said in a deep voice, "You are a native of Gutero, and you are a xenomorph, and you are so familiar with the affairs of the Presbyterian Church...... Tell me!Who are you?!"

Meredith sighed softly, "Who am I...... Who am I? My name and identity have long since lost their meaning, but I am just a ghost who has lived for thousands of years and still can't get rid of the nightmare......"

Before the words fell, Meredith's figure disappeared into the doorway, leaving the soul space.

Looking at the empty doorway, a distracted Todd sat back in his chair and fell into deep thought.
