Chapter 183: The quintessence of the country is the way to break illusions
"In the final analysis, that's what I think, do you have any opinions?" After Lao Wang finished speaking, giving everyone some time to digest, he glanced around, and found that there were a pair of stunned eyes looking at him from different angles, but they all expressed the same meaning, "You are not in good spirits, right?"
Lao Wang was stared at a little hairy by the big guys, and raised his tone and said: "Why are you looking at me like this? I have fallen into illusion, but I am not crazy, no matter how incredible you think it is, you must agree with what I said that this situation is possible, right? And now it seems that the possibility is not small." ”
Hines took the lead in sitting up straight, exhaled deeply, and returned to normal: "I have to say, Mr. Wang, your imagination may exceed your combat level, this idea is really very... Very insightful. ”
He moved his neck, thinking of the reason why everyone was almost rushing just now, and added with a subtle expression: "Don't get me wrong, my words are praised, imagination is very useful for a selector to find another way and quickly find the key to victory." ”
Mary didn't bother to wonder if what Hines said was a good thing, and the beautiful reporter's face was also a little uncomfortable, so she took the words and continued to Lao Wang: "Lao Wang, it's not that you are whimsical, it's just that what you said is too close to myths or legends, and the physical evidence is insufficient, and for a while, it's hard to believe." ”
"I'm in my dear family! We're in a random space, talking about physical evidence, are you a police officer?" Lao Wang couldn't cry or laugh, so he could only defend himself: "Besides, I also have physical evidence." ”
"What is it?" said in unison with strong questioning.
"Traces, no traces, it's so clean here. Lao Wang said firmly: "You also made a record when you accepted this challenge tag to activate the information, which clearly said that in the nearly 100 years since the Netherlands occupied the twin islands of Curacao, the experience of a small exploration team on the small Curacao island has not been 50 times, 2 or 30 times, so in terms of the number of participants, I conservatively estimate that there are 500 people, which is not much, right?"
Lao Wang didn't wait for everyone to react, and asked himself: "Since the number is reasonable, let's look at the information again, and the clue also says that every time the expedition team comes to the island, there is no trace of them in the end, and they don't know whether they are alive or dead, in normal cognition, it provides two possibilities, that is, they are either picked up by the big animals on the island, or for what reason they live on the island, and live until they die, this speculation also seems very reasonable, right?"
Everyone was carried by Lao Wang's reasoning ideas, and nodded in agreement, and Lao Wang continued: "According to the legend of the mouse dragon, it is obviously the first version that is more reliable, because of the ferocity of the mouse dragon, they killed all the invaders from the island, so that dozens of exploration teams were wiped out, if so, there is one point that has no explanation, what about the rest of the exploration team, it is a full 500 people." ”
"This... It is very likely that the rat dragon directly ate the corpse, and it is normal for carnivores to eat humans. Claudia asked with a frown.
"Yes, you can eat it, but you can't eat bones, right? You can't eat equipment, right? All kinds of residues and traces must be left behind, right?" Lao Wang replied confidently: "We humans all know that when eating fish, we must take care of the thorns, no matter how stupid the mouse dragon is, it will not chew the human corpse even the flesh and bones in one go, so what I just said is 'leftovers' instead of 'corpses', which refers to all kinds of residues that the expedition should leave behind after being attacked by creatures." ”
"It's not like it's brought back to the nest and then eaten together, as many mammalian predators do, rather than devouring their prey on the spot. Hines asked.
Lao Wang heard this question, and replied more reasonably: "That's right, so I also said traces, here is not only referring to the residue, but also includes all kinds of clues left behind, etc., we assume that the corpse is taken away, then in the process, there will inevitably be scattered some objects, in addition, the expedition team is attacked, swords and muskets or something must always leave a few, these things are not there, so bullet holes and lead shots should also be there, is the mouse dragon a criminal? Will it clean up the scene?" It is because of this that I wonder if it is really clean and decent. ”
Lao Wang asked and answered, and the reasoning process was not leaky, and seeing that everyone fell into contemplation from the question just now, he continued: "Now, do you think the second explanation seems reasonable?"
He smiled and added, "However, it doesn't make sense." ”
"At first, I was still wondering, this island always gave me a special feeling, at the time I wasn't sure, what it was like, now I figured it out, this feeling is primitive and wild, completely unexplored primitive and wild, not to mention man-made construction, not even human activity has been signed, so..."
"So it's unlikely that these two inferences will be correct, uncle, you will have that shocking third thought, right?" Takenaka summed up for Lao Wang, and his tone showed convincing meaning for Lao Wang's conclusion.
"How could I have imagined that your words still inspired me a lot. Lao Wang scratched his head and said, the smile on his face was honest, this is a personal characteristic that will not change no matter what kind of situation Lao Wang has experienced, even if he is still killing people one second ago, the smile on his face the next second is definitely honest and honest.
"Alright, you two don't blow each other, I don't know if it's right, uh... Assuming, assuming that Wang's reasoning is correct, how will that help us crack the illusion in the next step?" asked Mary again.
"I think I know. Hines squinted his eyes and said, the expression of the old god is there, Lao Wang likes to classify his expression as the same type of expression similar to the fox laughing in the bamboo, as long as this kind of movement appears, it means that this thing has an idea in his heart.
Sure enough, Hines said slowly: "Knowing the type of illusion of the other party, we can choose the corresponding countermeasures to solve it, and this is what you Chinese mean by 'prescribing the right medicine'." ”
"Hines, you always like to pretend to be mysterious, can't you just say it all at once?" Claudia just listened to a half-understanding, wanted to ask a few more words, and remembered that her question just now was the fuse that caused the outrage, so she could only endure it, and now that the opportunity has come, she is not so polite to her lover, and directly pushed Hines and said, "Say it quickly!"
"It's very simple, if we are really in the situation that Mr. Wang thinks, then the way to crack the illusion is also very simple, we can directly destroy the various structures of this small island. Hines smiled and stroked Claudia's hair and said, "Flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, forests, springs, and stones can all be destroyed." ”
"That's right. Lao Wang nodded yes, and said that this Hines is indeed clever, and simply listened to a few words of his analysis, and he can immediately find a solution, and now his team has a delicate relationship with his group, although it was affected by the effect of illusion just now, but everyone really said a little bit of discord between the two sides without choosing words, I really don't know if this cooperation is a blessing or a curse.
"Tearing down the structure of the island, it sounds familiar, wait, isn't that the third possibility that confirms what Xiao Zhuzi said?" Mary also reacted.
"That's right, it's the third type, now, let's do the demolition. Lao Wang said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I am in awe of this work from the bottom of my heart." ”
He nodded and summoned the hunter's axe in his hand, stood up and slashed at a thick cactus beside him...
The two groups of sailors, who had fainted for a long time, woke up one after another, their minds were dizzy and their vision was blurred, and when they rubbed their eyes and stretched out their legs, and slowly regained their sight, they were surprised to find that their admirals and senior seamen were breathing on the plants and stones halfway up the mountain.
In particular, the Qui of the Van der Kamp Chamber of Commerce, the sailors found that this combat-savvy arms merchant was no worse than he was at dealing with the enemy, and that he was constantly cutting down all kinds of plants like a skilled lumberjack.
"What are you doing in a daze!" Lao Wang saw these unsuccessful guys swaying up from the ground, although his eyes were demented and stupid, but he finally regained his clear look, he should have been yelled at by the bamboo, and he was temporarily out of the control of the illusion, and immediately shouted: "Hurry up and work for me!"
Hines's sword was polite and unfit for such rough work, and at this time, carrying a thick-backed machete, he was also struggling hard to experience the life of a poor middle peasant.
Seeing the old king drinking, he immediately tilted his head towards Arsacin, and the little assassin grabbed around the Portuguese sailors in a few steps, and he beckoned the sailors to never use their mouths to solve the problem with whips.
"Admiral... We?" The leader of the squad of the Dutch sailors looked dazed, and when he saw the Portuguese standing solemnly, he also came up with his equally stupid brothers, and gathered around the old king, "What is the matter with us?
"Do you think that the axe in my hand is only for chopping these cacti?" the old king snapped down the cactus in front of him, and the method was so neat that the sailors shrank back one after another.
Although the Admiral is usually very talkative, he is definitely not a person without majesty, at least when he kills, he is as sharp as the axe he just had.
"Admiral, we really don't know what's going on. The sailor who took the lead made a look, and the rest of the pieces of material comprehended, and the machete and axe in his hand that were scattered around the old king also began to work hard against the cactus, and the guy who took the lead was more sensible, and he was not idle in his hands or his mouth, and continued to ask: "Do you think we can work like this?"
Lao Wang glanced at him, and said that this guy still has a little vision, and explained casually: "You were controlled by illusion just now, and you shouted to fight with other Portuguese sailors, and now you should be fine." ”
"Oh, that's right. The sailor suddenly realized, thanks to the old king for saving them, and finally ran very dogged to take over the position of the old king, and then respectfully handed the water bladder on his waist to the old king and said: "Admiral, we can do these jobs, you drink saliva and rest." ”
Lao Wang smiled, took the water bladder and took a sip, ignoring the noise of the sailors, and asked in the team channel: "It's been more than 20 minutes, how is it?
"Uncle, nothing happened, I specially destroyed the three-toed footprints, reversed the footprints and walked backwards for a while, about five minutes away, and finally I found that my height on the mountain neither rose nor fell, it was still the same as before, so I came back. Takenaka replied to Lao Wang.
"Is it thinking in the wrong direction?" asked Mary.
Lao Wang's heart was a little drumming, every inference that he was sure of was tormented when waiting for confirmation, Wang Mancang did not lack self-confidence, but this fruitless waiting still made him feel apprehensive.
"No, come to think of it, it's such a conclusion, all options can be reasonably ruled out, then the only one left, no matter how incredible it seems, can only be the correct answer. Lao Wang shook his head and replied firmly.
"So, what's wrong with us? Takenaka said worriedly: "At present, it seems that there is no problem, we are still in the period of immunity to this illusion, but if this kind of futile thing continues, we will inevitably fall into an anxious mood again, and at that time, it will be a big deal." ”
"Xiao Zhuzi is right, even if he can use his mental power once or twice, or even ten times and a hundred times to wake us up from the illusion, but in the end, he will also run out of time, and then we will kill each other to death, and we must find a way in a limited time. Mary added.
Lao Wang was silent, and the mood that had been temporarily relieved by the disappearance of the illusion effect just now became tense again, this feeling was like the feeling of knowing that he would suffocate, but he could only drown, desperate and helpless, it was better to fight to die in battle.
"Can I say a few words?" A voice suddenly sounded in the team channel, Lao Wang was slightly stunned, and it was Tan Liang who spoke.
"Boss Tan, you say. Lao Wang hurriedly replied, at the critical moment, Boss Tan's inconspicuous temperament sounded so reliable.
"On the stage, we also have a way to create a stage atmosphere through psychological means, usually our modern actors use sets and lighting effects to achieve the goal, so that the audience can empathize, feel the atmosphere in the play, and follow us into the play. ”
"But when the pear orchard was booming, technology was relatively backward, so at that time, everyone often expanded and rendered this emotion through the grasp of the emotions of the characters in the play, so that the audience followed the play, and finally obtained a good stage effect. "Boss Tan usually speaks very shortly, but when he talks about business, especially when this matter can be connected with the play, he talks a lot.
"I really want to hear something, Boss Tan, you continue. Lao Wang's heart moved, as if he had grasped something, but it seemed that there was a layer of obscure yarn in the middle, and he couldn't tell the truth.
For example, today's play is "Yuanmen Chop", that is to come to see the civil and military bands, for example, today is to watch the old man's drama (Guan Gong opera), that is to listen to the speech, the actor guides in this direction, and flexibly adjusts the micro-movements, and the subtle changes in the lyrics can make the audience amplify their emotions and finally resonate. Tan Liang explained his words seriously, kept silent, and returned to the silent opera worker again.
The team channel seemed to be infected and fell into a long silence, and after a long time, Lao Wang slowly said: "The quintessence of the country, broad and profound!"
