Chapter 481: Showdown
When passing by Qian Cangyi, Qian Jiangyue also held the folding knife in his hand.
In fact, even without a folding knife, he was able to hurt Tang Jingwan's life with small items such as chopsticks.
It didn't take long for the sound of ping-pong from outside the door, followed by a silence that was extremely quiet.
"What's going on out there?" Qian Cangyi asked.
His body has recovered a little now, at least the sensation of his limbs has returned, but he can't move for the time being, and it will take at least another minute or two.
It was precisely because of this that he threw the problem to Hawkeye.
He still remembers Hawkeye's skills.
Being able to send an Eagle Spirit to scout within 100 meters is still a bit weird when used indoors, but it's better than staying where you are.
Hawkeye didn't answer, though, just shook his head.
Half a minute later, the door was completely opened by Wen Chengzhi.
There were some blood stains on his body, but it was obviously not his own, because when Qian Cangyi cut his neck, Wen Chengzhi didn't shed a drop of blood.
Coming to the two of them, Wen Chengzhi gave an electric shock, which was stronger this time than before, because both of them fainted.
……
I woke up again, in a windowless room that looked like a laboratory, but of a very old kind.
Qian Cang glanced left and right, and found that he was locked in a huge empty bottle, although the process was different, but the result was no different from the script information.
On his left and right sides were Qian Jiangyue and Hawkeye, respectively, and these two were also in separate empty bottles.
It is worth noting that each of the three empty bottles is connected by a conduit.
"I originally planned to use the relationship between the two of them to threaten it, but I didn't expect him to kill Tang Jingwan directly, judging from Professor Wen's actions, he seems to have thought of this day a long time ago." Qian Jiangyue leaned against the wall of the bottle and wiped it with her hand.
With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the mysterious Coupal alchemist walked in.
He was still holding Tang Jingwan in his hands, although Tang Jingwan looked like she had no breath of life at this time.
"Where is this?" Qian Cangyi asked, he didn't expect the other party to answer, but don't ask in vain, what if the other party answers?
"She doesn't seem to be dead yet, don't you send her to the hospital to save her?" Qian Jiangyue pointed to Tang Jingwan in Wen Chengzhi's hand.
"I need a whole soul, and she's just the right fit." Wen Chengzhi smiled, then walked to the center of the three bottles and placed Tang Jingwan on the ground.
The pitch-black ground had a red pattern, and on the ground where Tang Jingwan was, the pattern seemed to be more complicated.
After doing all this, Wen Chengzhi walked to the experimental table and flipped a switch, and suddenly, the whole room shook, and then, dense sizzling sounds kept coming.
"Soon, the truth will come before your eyes, and whether you believe it or not, you will get the answer." Wen Chengzhi said a word to the three of them, and then began to mix potions.
Most of the solutions on the laboratory table are colorless and transparent, and there are labels on the bottles containing the solutions, but the meaning of the symbols on the labels is not clear.
"You're crazy." Hawkeye said to Wen Chengzhi.
"Huh." The movements in Wen Chengzhi's hands were not affected in any way, "I'm just doing what I have to do, and with your experience, you can't understand this at all." ”
"Are you going to send us to a time when the ancient kingdom of Goupper still exists?" Qian Jiangyue sat cross-legged on the ground, "If your alchemy is really so strong, wouldn't it be okay to send yourself over directly?" Or is it just a hoax at all, you can't do it at all, you're just making us into some kind of hallucinogenic potion. ”
"Drink a bottle to pass the time when you're bored, and then dream that the kingdom of Coupal still exists in the world. Even if we take 10,000 steps back, we do go back in time and find the reason, and then what? How do you get this information? Even if you have this information, what can you do? The ancient capital of Coupal is gone. ”
"We cut your throat just now, you didn't bleed, considering that you are still alone, I can make such a conjecture, you are not the descendant of the survivors of the ancient kingdom of Guboer, you were originally from the kingdom of Gubol, but I don't know how to save it to the current human society."
"You have a wealth of knowledge, a strong learning ability, and a strong physique, but these can't make the kingdom of Coupal reborn, the reason is simple, you can't have children at all, so you can't even tell whether the current people are reproductively isolated from the Coupal people."
"Given that you didn't use cloning technology to copy yourself, although the reason is probably that the current technical conditions are not available, I think the bigger reason should be you. The fact that you have been able to exist for such a long time without aging speaks to a certain number of things, and you should be someone who has been transformed through Coupal technology. ”
"Speaking of which, this should be your biggest flaw, every world has people who want to live longer, and you have been able to live in seclusion until now without being captured as a test subject, I have to say that you are very lucky. Oh, by the way, you should have been treated like this, otherwise you wouldn't have carried a weapon with you. ”
Qian Jiangyue said a lot of her own conjectures, of course, these alone can't make Wen Chengzhi let go of himself, but he can learn more information, after all, according to the script, they don't have the ability to change what will happen next.
Originally, the three of them thought that they needed to follow Wen Chengzhi to some ruins to find the disappeared ancient country, but now it seems that Wen Chengzhi sent them directly to Gubel, in order to find the mystery of the disappearance.
"Matter, soul, space, space, energy, you know that mass and energy can be transformed, so do you know that the soul can connect with the past and the future? According to the ultimate theory of alchemy, these four basic conditions should be essentially one, but the alchemy technology at that time had not yet developed to this point. ”
Regarding Qian Jiangyue's remarks mixed with personal attacks, Wen Chengzhi didn't care.
"Even back then, your souls are still connected to the present, in other words, you can still come back, how about that? That's good news for you guys, right? Wen Chengzhi chuckled when he said this.
"You're lying to us." Qian Cangyi's voice was low, "We can't come back at all." ”
"Oh?" Wen Chengzhi was a little curious, turned his head to look at Qian Cangyi in the bottle, "Why should I lie to you?" There is no reason at all. ”
"Quite simply, according to your theory, you obviously can't unilaterally get the information about the ancient kingdom of Coupal, because if you can, you don't need to use this method at all. As for the essential reason, I think it is nothing more than the four conditions you mentioned that are not met, and I tend to lean towards the two points of energy and soul. ”
Now that he has been captured, there is no need to hide his thoughts.
Although it was a mistake to think that alchemists were crazy magicians in the lecture, judging from what he is doing now, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the aspect of 'madness'.
