Chapter 37: Eternal Blood, A World of Light (II)
[Is it convenient to reveal your native language?] Wei said in English.
[You have at least a 1 in 5 chance of getting it right.] The girl replied.
[Then I'm relieved.] Wei said in Chinese.
[Me too.] The girl also echoed in Chinese.
[So, what about the year?] Wei asked after a moment's hesitation.
[Just the question I answered first.] How about you answer this time? γ
[The second decade of the new millennium.] Wei cautiously said that it was not accurate to the exact year, month and day. In fact, his vague memory couldn't remember the exact date at all. If the girl gives a date first, he will echo the girl. Now, he can only hope that the girl will not be too entangled in this and expose her weakness.
"I see. Me too. I think we can talk on the same level. Now, let's check the details of the original world to make sure we're really from the same world. Let's start with your article on falsificationism. γ
["The boundary between science and non-science is whether it can be falsified"? Wei laughed.
[This can't be your original.] Now that you've used that article, tell me who in your world is the epitome of falsificationism in the philosophy of science. Then we can talk about economics and politics. γ
β¦β¦
It is conceivable that Xiao Wei and Lin Na in the girl's consciousness world can't understand what these two people are saying at all.
[She...... It's really a consciousness from another world......] Lin Na was dumbfounded.
[Didn't I tell you a long time ago! Xiaowei complained.
[They're talking in the language of another world.] Completely incomprehensible. γ
[Hmm.] I'm not sure, but I think they just used two very different languages with very different grammars and pronunciations. γ
There is no doubt that both of them are well-educated, Xiaowei thought. It's only because there are too many traces of the original world in the articles published in this world that they finally noticed the existence of the other party.
β¦β¦
A few minutes later.
[I just believe that we are from the same earth, probably the same earth,] the two finally stopped "interrogating" each other about the situation in each other's world, and the girl said, [But I can't trust you yet.] γ
[Time is limited, so you can get straight to the point.] Wei said calmly, "What do you want? γ
[Name your identity, including your name and occupation on Earth, as well as your name, occupation, and nationality in this world.] That way, we can continue to talk. γ
If I had said it, would you have believed it? Wei asked rhetorically.
[Oh? Admitted so quickly that he was doing something for the Okadians? The girl chased after her. There are many possibilities that the other person is reluctant to reveal his or her identity......
[Do you want to catch my mouth? Wei panicked without any psychological pressure, [I can tell you that I am doing things for the Elrios now. I'm not like you, though. You are famous, and I am unknown. If you want me to be completely loyal to the aborigines of this world, don't even think about it. γ
You're lying," the girl said, "You're a powerful arcane spellcaster, and it's impossible not to be known. γ
[It is impossible for you not to know that in Elrios, mages who like to hide their strength are everywhere,] Wei said, [War? Who cares about that kind of mundane thing? My research, my path, that's what we should do. γ
[So, you choose to publish articles in secret channels just because you don't want to be in the limelight? This does not correspond to Monsieur Arsène's speculation, nor does it correspond to the girl's own speculation.
[Exactly.] Just imagine, if I played for Ocard, with my ability, I would definitely be in a high position. In that case, my article will naturally be published at will in Okade, so why go to the trouble of detouring to the French state? γ
[It also makes sense.] The girl said. In her mind, however, she decided that she would uproot the man who connected Arsène and him anyway and see what happened.
[It seems that I failed to convince you,] Wei sighed, he didn't expect the two sides to be unable to talk about the first issue, [I just don't understand. γ
[What? γ
Why did you choose Empire? The nations of this world are not worth your life. γ
[You say I'm subservient? The girl smiled, "Don't think about it. I only obey my own heart. γ
[Stupid. There is no reason for a time-traveler like us to be loyal to the aborigines,] Wei tested the girl's thoughts, [How can you be willing to ally with me? I can give in. I can tell you a little bit about who I am and start with the simplest non-aggression. γ
[Hide your noble identity well.] Even if you tell me now, I won't make any deal with you. In the face of such a cunning guy, the girl simply gave up her efforts to be false and unwilling. It's better to open the skylight and say something bright.
[What? γ
Because I just can't trust you. The girl said succinctly.
For some reason, the girl felt a faint sense of familiarity on the other side. Far from reassuring her, this familiarity made her wary.
[I see. Wei didn't say much, and directly terminated the communication. He also felt a sense of familiarity that made him irritating, though he thought it was due to the fact that he hadn't interacted with other earthlings for a long time.
If she had just been willing to ally with me, would I have betrayed her? Wei thought silently.
At the beginning of learning of the other party's existence, Wei Zeng wanted to "solve" her quietly. But when the time for "friendly" contact with the other side really appeared, he couldn't help but want to say a few words to the other party. Originally, I prepared a lot of strategies, but in the end, they didn't work.
Can't you trust me? All right.
Someday, we will meet on the battlefield.
β¦β¦
[That's the end of it?] Seeing that the communication was terminated on the other side, Xiaowei was surprised, "You can talk for at least four more minutes. γ
[I judge that the other side cannot be trusted.] The girl said succinctly.
[None of the guys who hide their heads and tails are trustworthy.] Linna muttered.
"It's very likely that the other party is already on Ocard's side," the girl said, "It's a selfish, cunning, but somewhat impulsive guy." γ
[Selfish, cunning...... Why is he a little impulsive? Xiaowei was confused. She couldn't understand what the two were saying, but their tone was calm. γ
[Intuition,] the girl said, "The enemy is dark and I am clear." If he wasn't impulsive, there would be no need to play this show at all. A better plan is as much as there is. γ
[A ...... from another world Is the impulsive Okadian spellcaster spy? Lin Na said, "Sounds ...... It's worth seeing. Maybe it's worth fighting! γ
"I'll try to drag him out," said the girl, "I hope he doesn't run away." γ

Meanwhile.
The White City, inside the hotel where Lijie and Melia are staying.
"Lijie, you're going out?" Melia frowned.
"Just walk around the neighborhood. Only...... "Spy," said Lizzie, "the guards in the city are loose, so why not take the opportunity to find out what these Errios are thinking?" β
"You...... I just want to go shopping. Melia whispered.
"You have to take care of it!"
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
