The silence of the nameless valley in the middle of the night, and the lack of cicadas and insects due to the winter months makes it more like a lifeless cemetery, and it has indeed experienced the baptism of death.

The maiden priest Qianrou sat in her inner tent, with a chessboard in front of her, of course, she didn't have a player now, she was just entertaining herself.

I don't know how many steps I took with myself, and I don't know why Qianrou stopped by herself, staring at the chess pieces in front of her in a daze.

The three-dimensional chess pieces began to change in her eyes, as if they had become their own people, fighting and struggling in this cruel situation. No matter how skilled a player is, even when he wins, he has fewer pieces than he started with, because the game is a game of subtraction.

"Whew..."

Qianrou sighed heavily, put the chess piece in her hand aside, for this chess piece that has been held in her hand for a long time, she is anxious whether to continue to play the chess piece or the captured chess piece, this is the disadvantage of playing chess with yourself, you are likely to forget your weaknesses, because you can never see yourself as an enemy in your heart.

Just when Qianrou decided to give up playing chess and simply read the two-page book, the inner tent door was slammed, and Qianrou called to invite in, and a girl in white walked in, this person was the person who repeatedly led Lird to the inner tent.

Seeing this, Qianrou rubbed her swollen eyebrows with her hand, and asked casually, "Is there something wrong?"

The girl in white groaned for a moment, and then whispered, "Ruzius wants to see you."

...”

Qianrou was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the so-called Ruzius was Jim's original life. Instantly, a glint flashed as she realized what it meant for Jim to visit at this time.

"Let him in. Qianrou's voice became cold, and at this moment she was no longer the girl who was scheming in front of Lird because of her disadvantage in chess, but the leader of the clan who was angry at disobeying her orders.

The girl in white wanted to say something when she saw this, but she knew that she didn't have this qualification, so she bowed her head and signaled, and then slowly retreated. After about ten minutes, the knock on the door of the inner tent sounded again.

This time Qianrou didn't make any sound, just quietly focused her eyes on the door, and the knock sounded three times, and then Jim pushed the door straight and walked in slowly.

Qianrou still didn't say anything, she just sat quietly in her chair, quietly looking at Jim, but her eyes were not completely indifferent.

After Jim entered the account, he bowed respectfully to Qianrou and said, "Good night, Lord Sacrifice." ”

Qianrou looked at Jim and said coldly: "It's me who should say hello to you, it only took you less than a day to send Lird back to the United States and return safely, it's a long way to go, it's really hard." ”

Qianrou's sarcasm can be heard by any normal person, but Jim can't seem to hear it, but he hangs his head much lower.

"I'm sorry, Priest, but I've come to confess my sins to you. ”

Qianrou looked at Jim coldly and said, "I need a reason." ”

A reason, a reason not to kill Jim.

Apparently Jim did not follow Qianrou's orders to send Lird back to the United States, and in fact it took more than a day for them to enter the main channel of the Ganges.

The Remnants of Atlantis were a relatively peaceful and moderate clan, but this does not prove that there was no strict hierarchy within the tribe. In this tribal assembly, the sacrifice is the god, and its command is the oracle.

Jim, who had disobeyed the oracle, was waiting for him, and there was no need to guess.

Jim paused, then said, "Sacrifice Master, we need Lird. ”

Hearing this, Qian Rou sneered and said, "Do you need him? What do you need him to do? Bear the bombardment for us when the next fighter plane strikes? Or can you collect the body?"

Jim pursed his lips and said, "He can help us get out of this predicament." ”

Qianrou's eyes moved, and then said, "Is this what he said?" Jim nodded.

"Nonsense!"

Qian Rou slapped her palm on the table in front of her, and the chess pieces were suddenly shocked and flew up.

"I understand your deep feelings now, and I am saddened by Trista's death, but please don't be mentally and intellectually affected by emotional disappointment, Lird is just a young American student, and this is India! a country that even Indians can't govern, how can you believe that he can help us get out of this predicament?"

Jim seemed to be prepared for Qianrou's angry words, and slowly raised his head, his eyes shining with determination.

"With all due respect, I don't think age is a limit that affects a person's actions, after all, you are not that old. ”

"Presumptuous!" Qian Rou shouted angrily, this time his eyes bloomed with a cold light killing intent that was completely inconsistent with his age.

Jim didn't flinch from this, in his eyes he just said the most normal objective reality, he was not afraid of death, and at the same time he was full of confidence in Lird.

Qianrou stared at the man in front of her who had disobeyed his orders and offended her, who had been her proudest loyal subordinate, who believed that he would never betray and rebel against her, but now he had changed and felt strange to her, and the source of it all was because of another man.

Thinking of Liard, Qianrou's emotions calmed down a lot, and her eyes swept to the scattered chessboard on the table, and seriously immediately revealed complex affection.

"He... Where?" Qianrou said suddenly.

"It's right outside. Jim replied.

"Okay, you let him in. Qianrou looked at Jim.

"If he says something that convinces me, I'll consider letting you go. And if I find out that all this is just a hoax that you have devised it, then you know what is going to happen to you. ”

Jim nodded indifferently, then bowed to Qianrou, and was about to turn around and go out to summon Lird outside the tent.

"Wait a minute!" Qianrou suddenly called out to Jim, who turned back and said, "What do you command?"

Qian Ju said: "I just want to ask why you are so confident in Liard? Could it be that it is just because you are friends?"

Jim pondered for a moment before saying, "That's only part of the reason, and more importantly, we don't have a choice..."

...

When Jim walked out of the tent, Qianrou fell into a deep thought, her brain seemed to be blank for a moment, and she couldn't think about anything for a moment, and finally she smiled bitterly and said to herself, "There is no choice... Hehe, is that really all we have to do..."

...

When Lird entered the tent, Qianrou's complexion had returned to normal, and she looked exactly the same as usual, but Lird was still keenly aware of the majesty and sternness emanating from her.

Lird went straight to the table and sat down, where he had been sitting last night, when Qianrou told him he had to get out of here, and after a day, Lird finally sat in this seat, and to a certain extent, he was 'victorious'.

However, this was only a temporary victory.

"You're back. Qianrou said calmly.

"I'm back. Lird replied calmly, and the question and answer seemed to be bland, but in fact it contained complex emotions or "competition".

"I've heard I've got to give you a reasonable explanation this time, or Jim will die. Lird was the first to say to Qianrou with a light smile.

Hearing this, Qian Rou sneered and said, "I didn't expect him to be afraid of death." Apparently this was what Jim had told Lird.

Lird smiled: "Although people are inherently dead, they still want to live a little longer if the situation allows, and it is better to say goodbye to this world naturally than to die in a dream." ”

Qianrou looked at Lird and said, "These are not what I want to hear, what you want to express is not just to intercede for him like this, this kind of reasoning will not save him." ”

Lird shook his head and said, "Naturally not. ”

Qian Ju said: "I think so, since you have spent nearly a day, you must have investigated some things, otherwise you would not have sat in front of me so confidently, and you were not like this last night." ”

At this moment, Lird suddenly realized that this girl named Qianrou was not as simple as he imagined, although he did not know how he scolded Jim, but he was able to think about his actions and the overall purpose in such a short time, and his reaction was so quick and thoughtful that he was absolutely astonishing.

For a moment, Liard's curiosity poured out, and he smiled and said to Qianju: "So what else can you think of?"

Qian Rou thought for a moment and said: "According to your character, you will definitely make relatively adequate preparations before acting, since you have put forward a plan to save our clan, you naturally dare not be sloppy in the slightest." ”

"It's hard for you to come up with a plan like Mr. Pym's, and you can't think of it, because you need to live in India for a long time, and have a very good understanding of the environmental situation here, and you can't investigate these things in such a short time, even with Jim's help. ”

Lird nodded, and then motioned for Qianrou to continue, Qianrou satisfied Lird's thoughts and continued: "Although I don't know the content of your plan, I think it should be some kind of extremely bold plan idea, and we won't talk about this for the time being. But as far as the direction of the investigation is concerned, you need certain information to verify your idea, and as far as I know, there is no place in the surrounding area that can provide you with sufficient information, there are no libraries or the like, and even if you do, you will not be able to become proficient in Hindi in a few hours, so there is only one result..."

There was a glint in Qianrou's eyes and she said, "... You called somewhere, or somebody, who had some kind of knowledge!"

Lird looked at Qianrou in his hands, and when he said the final conclusion, Lird couldn't help but gasp, and his surprise was overflowing.

Looking at Liard's reaction, Qian Rou knew that she had guessed everything, and a smile randomly appeared on her face.

"You should have convinced Jim in a very short time, and he took you to a place where you could make a phone call, and there was a base of ours in the nearest town, where you could communicate with the outside world more easily, and you should have given some kind of call there... You went there to talk to somebody in the U.S., and that person validated your plan on the phone, so that you sat in front of me so confidently. ”

Smack!

When Qianrou said all this, Lird unconsciously applauded, everything Qianrou said completely guessed Liarde's arrangement, and he observed himself like a god, and if Lird did not know about the tribe and its current situation, he would have thought that he had arranged for someone to follow him.

After clapping, Lird said to Qianju: "Wonderful! Really wonderful! I really don't see that you have such superb reasoning skills, even Sherlock Holmes will be overshadowed in front of you." ”

Qianrou smiled lightly: "Thanks for your compliment." ”

Lird said: "Then I would like you to ask a question, and I hope you can answer my questions." ”

"Please. ”

Lird paused and then smiled, "Your reasoning skills are so good, why are your chess skills so bad?"

Qianrou didn't expect Lier to suddenly ask herself such a question, and in an instant, her pretty face turned red, and finally a few words popped out from between Qianrou's teeth.

"Lee, Er, De, You, Seek, Die!"

Lird laughed loudly from inside the random tent.

...

After teasing Qianrou, Lird also regained his normal color, he knew that now was not the time to joke, so he said to Qianrou: "What you just guessed is completely correct, my itinerary for this day is indeed as you said." The plan I will talk about later has been in my head for some time, but at the time I did not have much factual basis, and today I have a clearer overview and understanding of this kind of thing. ”

Qianrou listened to Lird's narration and became calm and focused, and at some point she also had trust and expectation in her heart, and she hoped that Lird could come up with an effective plan and advice, not just to save her clan.

Lird swallowed a mouthful of spit, he also noticed that Qianrou's emotions had been mobilized by himself, and he didn't feel a little nervous at this time, after all, what he was going to talk about next was not his field of expertise, but he had no reason to back down now.

After Lird had tried to calm the tension in his heart, he said to Qianju, "Before I explain my plan, let me tell you about an interesting physics experiment, which is called the 'Young's Double-slit Interference Experiment'. ”
