"Hum~"

With the familiar hum, the countdown ended.

This heralds the beginning of deduction.

Cheng Lin didn't look out the window for the first time.

Instead, he stared silently at a book that suddenly appeared on the table.

Yes, just after the white light that filled the room cleared.

A book appeared on his desk.

"Remember...... It was the painting that was there before. ”

After class, Cheng Lin brought back the "Last Supper" that Luo Penny gave to the students.

Rolled it up and put it on the table.

And now, the painting is gone.

In its place is a book.

[The countdown is over, and you are surprised to find an unfamiliar book on your desk, and you walk over to examine it]

Familiar information comes to mind.

Cheng Lin hesitated.

Walk over and look down at the book.

The book is thick.

It's about the thickness of a brick.

Hardcover, the outer cover is a hard shell with jet black.

The edges have a straight silver line outline.

There are also fine vine-like patterns attached to it.

This cover is exquisite.

But the most important part is the large blank space - the book has no name.

[You look closely for a long time and find that the book does not have a name, you try to open the cover and see the first page]

Cheng Lin stretched out his hand and slowly opened the cover of the book.

He flipped it slowly, as if he were scratching a lottery ticket.

"Newspapers?"

Cheng Lin was slightly surprised.

He didn't expect that the first page of the book turned out to be a newspaper.

No.

A newspaper clipping, to be exact.

It is to cut out a certain paragraph of news on a certain page of the newspaper and paste it on the page.

[You find a newspaper clipping and start reading]

Cheng Lin frowned and began to read the newspaper.

Because it is a newspaper clipping, there is no section about the specific information of the newspaper.

Cheng Lin couldn't tell which newspaper the newspaper belonged to.

But there is a piece of time information underneath this news.

July 28th.

The year is this year.

The date is tomorrow.

"Tomorrow's news?"

Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows.

The title of the article is "Leonardo da Vinci's famous painting predicts that mankind will face the apocalyptic flood in 20 years!" (Note)

Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows again.

Da vinci?

Paintings?

Cheng Lin's nerves were touched.

He read as fast as he could.

"It has been said that Leonardo da Vinci was a prophet like Nostradamus, and his work succeeded in predicting many things about the future. In his notebook, there are many enigmatic words......"

"In some of da Vinci's paintings, there also seem to be some mysterious prophecies hidden. For example, his famous painting "The Last Supper" predicted that November 1 would be the end of the world in 20 years, and Leonardo da Vinci believed that thousands of years of human civilization would be destroyed in one fell swoop. ”

Vatican researcher Sabina Sforza Garitzia revealed that they had discovered the hidden "Da Vinci prophecy" in "The Last Supper": that humanity would be destroyed in 20 years by a global flood. While working at the University of Los Angeles, Garretzia studied da Vinci's manuscripts in depth. She pointed out that this prophecy was hidden in the window behind Jesus in The Last Supper. ”

Inside that bright half-moon window hides a mystery about "mathematics and astrology," which is designed from the 12 constellations and 24 Latin letters representing the 24 hours of the day, Garitzia said. ”

"As long as you solve this mystery, you can solve da Vinci's doomsday prophecy. She also made it clear that the global flood predicted in The Last Supper would occur 20 years later, on March 21, and on November 1 of the same year, humanity would encounter the "Last Supper", i.e., the end of the world! ”

……

The article is long.

Cheng Lin looked at it very seriously.

Word by word, read them one by one.

"Interesting."

He looked up with a strange light.

If this news tabloid was seen in reality, Cheng Lin would definitely scoff at it.

There are countless articles like this.

The wave of apocalyptic public opinion carnival such as 2012 left a deep impression on Cheng Lin's memory.

But now he didn't dare to disbelieve.

Because it's not in reality, it's in deduction.

What's more, it appeared so clearly on his desk, in this nameless book.

"Looks like it should be true."

"The Great Flood in 20 Years...... I don't know how to unfold this time. ”

Cheng Lin thought leisurely.

He tried to keep flipping through the book.

I found that I couldn't do it.

It was thick, but he couldn't turn the pages except for the first page.

"It's probably not the hour."

Cheng Lin made a judgment.

Not in the slightest.

Just look up at the window.

Later, it was discovered that the scene outside had long since changed.

It's no longer a cold, rainy evening campus.

It's a sunny day.

It could probably be in the morning, or maybe noon.

Outside the window, there seems to be a busy street, and a car is slowly driving through the window.

A little farther away are tall buildings.

Apparently, he had been in a strange city for some time.

[You find that the scenery outside the window is very unfamiliar, and you think in your heart, wondering if this is twenty years later, but after a while, you wake up to the fact that the time has not changed, it is still July 28 this year, but the location is no longer the academy, but the magic capital]

"Demon Capital?"

Cheng Lin was slightly surprised.

As a shining pearl of the entire Xia Kingdom.

Second only to the capital of the mega city, the name of the magic capital is naturally like thunder.

Its economic status, political status and many other aspects are extremely amazing.

In the popular "Escape from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen" that was spread on the Internet a few years ago, the magic capital ranked second, which shows its status and strength.

On the practitioner's side.

The Second Division for Special Incident Handling is stationed here, second only to the First Division directly under the capital.

In comparison, I don't know how high the status of the Ninth Division is.

And it is also the location of the largest cultivation research institution in the entire Xia Kingdom.

Whether it is the practical application or theoretical research of Reiki, it is hidden in this city covering an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers and with a permanent population of more than 20 million.

Cheng Lin is naturally familiar with this place name.

But it's the first time I've actually come.

[You're surprised, but then you're excited, you want to go out and see the city, but before you go out, you have a choice you have to make]

The information in my head comes to mind at the right time.

At the same time.

Cheng Lin was surprised to find that the nameless book suddenly erupted with a burst of holy light.

The white light together forms a curtain of light.

In Cheng Lin's eyes, the book seemed to act as a projector.

And in that light curtain, three humanoid figures appeared.

"What is this?"

Cheng Lin was surprised.

in the light curtain.

The three humanoids are like miniature versions of people.

It's only half a meter tall, but it's enough to see what it looks like.

The one on the far left is a tall man.

He was dressed in heavy silver-white armor, most of which was covered in silver-white armor, and he was armed with a spear, with only a chin and two bright, sharp eyes showing out of his helmet.

The armor and weapons are exaggerated and bizarre, but they are also very intricate and exquisite.

There is even more terrifying momentum and coercion on him.

Looks like a powerful knight from the Middle Ages.

When Cheng Lin looked over.

There is an automatic explanatory message in the mind:

[Radiant Knight Chief: Possesses a powerful life of the Nine Rank Cultivation, comes with a god costume, and has powerful combat power]

The information is short.

He looked at the second figure again.

It was a young girl in a white holy robe.

The loose robe could not hide her slender figure, the slender jade hands were together, in a prayer gesture, the head was full of green silk hidden in the white hood, a face was a beauty that was difficult to find in the world, and the smooth forehead wore a silver headdress, which was emitting a holy light, setting it off as noble and sacred.

[Holy Maiden: She has the ability to pray and can obtain the power of the gods to descend]

A few more looks.

Cheng Lin moved his gaze to the third figure.

It was an ordinary-looking man.

Dressed in white clothes similar to that of a missionary, there is no coercion or momentum on his body, but he can't help but feel good.

[Normal Missionary: No power bonus, has passive skills: Affinity Inspiration, Invisible Mask]

[Affinity: It can make others feel good and respect for the character, and there is a chance that others will follow the character]

[Invisible Mask: Makes other living and non-living beings unable to remember the specific appearance of a character]

……

Cheng Lin read the information of these three characters in turn, and felt very strange in his heart.

"What does that mean?"

As soon as he asked a question, he was answered:

[You need to choose one of these three images as your appearance as you walk in the world (the face will automatically adapt to your appearance)]

……

The information in the mind dissipates.

The room is very quiet.

It took a while for Cheng Lin to come back to his senses.

He found that this deduction program really has a new trick every time.

"This time...... Role-playing games? ”

He laughed.

Then I began to leisurely admire the three characters, and my heart was thinking quickly.

"Interesting, judging from this setting, the way of this deduction should be close to the third deduction,

Other words

I'm not waiting in my room for the flood to disappear and civilization evolve.

Wait until the dust settles before going out to do a small task that doesn't matter.

Instead, you need to be involved in the specific plot. ”

It's easy to understand.

Just like last time, Cheng Lin was involved in the plot - the global lock was caused by his sending signals to the universe.

In the last deduction, he really did a ball rape.

And this time, Cheng Lin vaguely smelled a little of conspiracy.

Feel.

In this fourth deduction, I may need to be more deeply involved in the plot.

"If we talk about the first two deductions,

I'm a spectator,

Wait until it's all over before you go out.

That third global lockdown,

I was involved in the early plot,

Beyond the mid-plot,

Wait until everything is over, and then go out to do the mission in Sand Horn City.

So this fourth time,

Is there a need for me to participate in its entirety?

Go through the early, middle, and late plots completely?

No longer a spectator,

But as a participant?

Or even ...... Leader? ”

Cheng Lin thought in his heart and felt that his guess would most likely be correct.

You can get a glimpse of it from the "role-playing" in front of you.

"Well, the choice is simple."

Cheng Lin leisurely walked around the room, pacing around the three lights and shadows.

I even poured myself a hot drink and drank it leisurely.

"First of all, of the three roles, the saint was the first to veto.

Women's clothing is absolutely not allowed!

Moreover, this is no longer just a matter of women's clothing.

It's possible to really change gender,

It's horrible!

Must be the first to veto! ”

"Secondly, it is to choose between the Radiant Knight and the Missionary,

Of these two, it is obvious that the knight has a greater advantage,

He has a nine-grade cultivation, plus he is full of god clothes,

When the Flood came,

can run rampant in the world,

Whether it's self-preservation or doing something,

are more convenient. ”

Cheng Lin paused and stopped.

Take a leisurely sip of a hot drink.

Immediately, looking at the third, the most incompetent light and shadow, he smiled:

"Thus,

It's up to you!

Ordinary missionaries! “
