"Is it useful?" Ye Jingwen asked with a puzzled face. "Do this...... Will it keep us safe? ”

"Of course." I patted Ye Jingwen's head and said with a smile, "As long as my plan succeeds, then I am the God who walks in the world." Of course...... Although I was meant to be, hahahahahaha......"

"Megalomaniacs. So when do I enter the data of the cards I draw into the computer? ”

"Three minutes." I held up three fingers, "Enter the data of the card you drew three minutes after you hear the alarm go off." ”

I laughed three times, and then I wore a brainwave scanning helmet full of electrode patches and lay on Erlang's legs on the bed, and then winked at Ye Jingwen, who looked weird, and said:

"Good night, violent woman."

"Don't use that name, don't you hear it!" Hearing my words, Ye Jingwen couldn't help but drink clearly, but before I could have a seizure, she had already closed her eyes. "Hey, don't say fall asleep!"

"Really...... It's like a pig......"

In Ye Jingwen's muttering, my vision turned pitch black, I tried to let my brain gradually empty, although for me, the image of the world in my memory presented in my mind when I closed my eyes was almost as clear as the real world, almost no difference, but I still tried to relax my limbs and muscles, let my consciousness gradually wander, and then my consciousness was like a broken puzzle piece, shattered, scattered, and turned into nothingness.

I don't know how long it took, I seemed to hear the rooster crow from the alarm clock in my dream, so I opened my eyes and saw Alyssa Ye sitting in front of her laptop, holding the card in her hand, and was about to enter the results of the drawn card into the laptop.

I smiled slightly, stepped forward lightly, and then patted her shoulder with a smile, and said:

"No more typing."

"Ahh Ye Jingwen was startled, she turned her head as if she had seen a ghost, and when she saw my smile, Ye Jingwen patted her chest, "Can you make a little noise when you walk?" It's like a ghost! ”

I laughed and didn't say anything.

Ye Jingwen settled down, she frowned and looked at me, and said:

"What do you mean, all of a sudden you want to enter the data results, and all of a sudden you ask me not to enter the results?"

I smiled and said:

"Because it's already in the computer, it's already presented......"

I smiled and clicked on the small program I designed on my computer desktop, and the program opened.

A very simple text box pops up, and the text box shows the following result:

“44。”

I looked at Ye Jingwen with a smile and said:

"You drew a diamond four, right?"

Ye Jingwen looked at me stunned, then lowered her head and opened the piece of paper in her hand.

The eye-catching words on it surprised her.

It is indeed a square four.

"You...... How do you know? Ye Jingwen looked at me blankly, and looked at the card in her hand repeatedly, "Is this magic?" ”

I winked at her, and said softly in a mysterious tone:

"Descartes; Do you know about the dualism of soul and body? It's not magic, it's future-seeking. Don't say it—my soul can see the future. ”

"Aha?" Ye Jingwen looked at me in disbelief, "Soul? What does this have to do with Descartes' mind-body dualism? Also, why can the soul predict the future? Can I do it too? You're playing tricks, aren't you? ”

I shook my finger and said:

"Soul ...... In other words, self-awareness does predict the future. This is the loophole of this world, and it is also the inevitable loophole of all those films and novels that admit the existence of the soul, as long as the soul is acknowledged, and it is independent of the body, then the prediction of the future is almost inevitable. ”

A black line appeared on Ye Jingwen's forehead:

"I ...... I still don't get it. ”

I smiled and said:

"If you don't understand, forget it, don't think too much about wasting your poor brain cells."

Ye Jingwen couldn't help but say:

"It's not good, if I can really predict the future, then I'm ...... Can it be done too? ”

I smiled, then tapped my temple, and said:

"It's not something that anyone can do. That's something that only a special brain structure like mine can do. So, you better save it. ”

Ye Jingwen looked at me suspiciously, her expression complex and solemn.

I spread my hands, then flicked Ye Jingwen's forehead, and said:

"Okay, don't be stunned, put back the bugging device I put in the bathroom."

"Uh......" Alyssa Ye came back to her senses, "You put all the bugging devices in the bathroom?" ”

"yes." I shrugged, "Forty-two bugs, all in the bathroom, put them back, or the Pope will be restless again." ”

Like a photo sliding out of the camera, Alyssa Ye's expression froze for three seconds before falling in the direction of the bathroom, and then set off to do as I instructed.

The next few hours were peaceful, but I knew there was a dark tide in the world.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the telephone rang in the dormitory:

"Mr. Kannatsuki, Nixrubi, an assistant to the Italian Prime Minister, has come to visit. I hope to be able to talk to you in the lobby. ”

I said lazily:

"Let him go. Tell him that I am having sex with my secretary and that I will not see anyone coming. ”

"Y-You're sick, aren't you?" Ye Jingwen blushed, grabbed my arm, and said:

"The other party is an assistant to the Italian prime minister, and you just turned people away, right?"

I hung up the phone, squinted at Ye Jingwen, and said:

"Don't say it's an assistant to the Italian prime minister, even if the prime minister comes in person, I still don't see it."

My phone call finally brought me thirty minutes of peace. But thirty minutes later, there was still a knock on the door of the papal quarters, and the voice of the doorman was heard outside:

"Mr. Kanatsuki, are you done? The Italian Prime Minister's aide has been waiting for a long time, and he is still waiting for you in the hall. Moreover, the Italian military personnel have already surrounded the Papal Palace. If you don't come out, they won't retreat. ”

I glanced at Ye Jingwen on the side, then picked up a fruit knife from the bedside table and handed it to Ye Jingwen:

"Stab me."

"Huh?" Ye Jingwen looked at me with wide eyes, holding a fruit knife in her hand, with a blank expression, "What did you say?" ”

"I said, stab me." I lazily said, "Snapshot do." ”

"This ...... How can this be? Ye Jingwen said in a panic. Are you trying to get the angels out? But...... What if she doesn't come out? ”

"It's really long-winded." After finishing speaking, I straightened my chest directly and pounced on Ye Jingwen who was holding the fruit knife, Ye Jingwen panicked, her body didn't even have time to retreat, and the fruit knife in her hand was about to stab me in the abdomen.

However, at the moment when the fruit knife in Ye Jingwen's hand was about to stab me in the abdomen, a jade-white shiny little hand appeared in the air and firmly grasped the handle of the fruit knife.

Snow tender skin, long hair flowing down like a snowfall, red and soft lips, and a pair of clear eyes as beautiful as the Pleiades, like a glimpse of a corner of the universe through a space telescope.

"You're here, Holy Snow." I waved at Tilan and smiled.

Tilan Shengxue grabbed the fruit knife in Ye Jingwen's hand, looked at me expressionlessly, and said:

"I said that I would ensure the safety of the player's life outside of the competition, so that he would not be threatened by foreign forces."

Ye Jingwen also looked at Tilan Shengxue who was slowly spreading her snow-white wings in the dormitory, and then covered her face helplessly, and muttered:

"I was really called out by this idiot......

"Okay, don't talk nonsense, come with me and do me a little favor." I grabbed Tiran Shengxue's hand, and then trotted towards the wooden door of the dormitory, and the moment the door opened, the three guards standing outside the door were already dumbfounded.

I said lazily:

"See? I'm playing a bed game with the angel while discussing important ciphers, so don't bother anyone, do you hear me? If you hear that, get out, and don't come in unless I go out on my own initiative. ”

After finishing speaking, under the gaze of three pairs of wooden eyes, I closed the solid wooden door again, and then turned my head to the expressionless Tilan Shengxue Road:

"Thanks, Lord Angel, you can go."

Tiran Shengxue looked at me fixedly, and after three seconds, she said in that smooth voice like heaven:

"Although your actions are within the norm, it will also lower your country's trust score in you, so you should pay attention to yourself."

After speaking, Tiran Shengxue took two steps back, and the pair of snow-white wings that spread out in a radial shape behind her slowly closed inward, slowly wrapping her body like two petals, and then, with a soft light, Tiran Shengxue disappeared like metal sodium melting in water.

Looking at Tilan Shengxue who disappeared out of thin air, Ye Jingwen's facial muscles were constantly twitching, she stepped forward and pinched my ear, and said:

"Kan Wuyue, you're really crazy. Do you really dare to tease even an angel?! ”

I shook my shoulders and said:

"What's this, the rules she set herself, she has to implement them with tears."

"But it's okay to go and see the prime minister's aides, so why don't you want to go out?"

Ye Jingwen asked me anxiously.

I casually stroked the bangs on my forehead and said:

"I won't see anyone until the game starts. So, it's the same for whoever comes...... Without further ado, let's wait for the game to begin. ”

For the next two days, I did not meet with any leaders or envoys, except for a banquet personally invited by the Pope. Of course, there were many visitors from other countries who tried to meet me through the Pope's dinner, but they were all rejected by me because of my insight in advance.

Naturally, the Pope also wanted to extract the content of the previous conversation with Tiran Shengxue from my mouth, but I was vaguely fooled, and only told the Pope that my relationship with Tiran Shengxue was extraordinary, and I was completely sure that I would win the game. Other than that, I don't say a word about that. At the same time, I also told the Pope that I had no information about my opponents from Tieran and that the Pope had nothing to worry about me being a spy. As for how much the Pope believes in this, that is another story.

Obviously, the Pope has received information from Tiran Saint's Snow about the schedule of the tournament, and the opponents and countries of the Vatican delegation that I represent have been decided.

Three days passed quickly. But the Pope didn't send any planes or pick-up teams to take me to the venue. I'm not worried about that. Ye Jingwen asked me to meet with the representative of Italy several times, after all, the other party already knew about the game of God, and the other party sent someone to negotiate with me, which must also be related to the game of God. But I avoided talking about it, which made Ye Jingwen both incomprehensible and a little unhappy.

In addition, because Alyssa Ye has been with me at the Vatican, she naturally cannot represent the Chinese team in this brain competition.

It was not until 11 o'clock at noon on the third day that the Pope's guards invited me and Ye Jingwen out of the Papal Palace and arrived

In the Sistine Chapel, in the chamber there, eighteen core members of the Holy See sit around a round table, and in the center of the round table is the Pope with a solemn face.

The Pope looked at me with a solemn face and said:

"Mr. Kamino Moon, after these few days of preparation, I believe that you must have made sufficient preparations, adjusted your condition, according to the will of the angels, the game is about to start, please follow what we said, put on your blindfold, during the game, you will not be able to know any information about the players and the country of the game for the time being."

The Papal Acolyte handed me a special ring-shaped blindfold, and when I put it on, my vision instantly turned pitch black.

I smiled indifferently:

"Father, rest assured, no matter what country the opponent comes from, I will destroy it to the fullest. Losing to any country is a shame for me. ”

"Hopefully you'll be able to deliver on your promises." The Pope said, "This time, we're all betting on you." ”

Just as I finished speaking, the voice of Tiran Holy Snow suddenly fell from the sky and resounded throughout the entire Vatican City:

"Players from all over the world, the brain race starts now! In this brutal game, any loser will be judged to be inferior and eliminated, and what awaits you will be the loss of reputation, prestige, property, self-confidence, and even life. Make sure you use your brains to the fullest! ”

As Tiran Shengxue's words fell, the whole world became extremely silent for a short period of time, as if it had suddenly fallen into a vacuum.

This extremely brief silence lasted only three heartbeats before it was broken by a tsunami of cheers and shouts, and I could feel the distant cheers coming towards me like a wall. Using the binaural effect, judging by the volume and sound wave direction, the number of people who came to watch the game was definitely not less than 100,000.

Obviously, at this moment, I have arrived in another space besides the Sistine Chapel, and as for the imaginary or real space of this space, that is two words. But judging from the suitable temperature around me and the size of the venue that can accommodate at least 100,000 people, there is no such place in the real world, so I must have been in another strange space.

Soon, the voice of the papal chamberlain came to my ears:

"Lord Angel, we have an agreement with Kannatsuki that during the match, he has no way of knowing who his opponent and nationality is."

Tiran Shengxue's clear and calm voice immediately sounded:

"Don't worry, Mr. Chalmers, I will respect your request, which does not violate the rules of the game."

"Thank you, Lord Angel. So, I'll go to the auditorium and wait. ”

"Kannatsuki, you can take off your blindfold." Tiran Shengxue's emotionless but incomparably soft and melodious voice sounded in my ears. I smiled and took off the blindfold from my face.

At that moment, the world returned from darkness to light and beauty.

The area I'm in at the moment is in the middle of a basin-shaped building as large as the Colosseum, except that the Colosseum is indoor, not open-air. At this moment, the surrounding audience is already surrounded by clouds and mist, and the cone-shaped auditorium that spreads outward in the form of concentric circles spreads outward in a radial shape like a Fibonacci spiral, with a certain sense of special geometric sequence.

The audience was already full of leaders from various countries, who were basically high-level national leaders who had the authority to decide the contestants, and of course, there were also some alternate contestants and researchers in brain science.

And when I looked up, I saw a dense cluster of swords above my head, countless silver shining sharp swords, countless sharp swords that were enough to make the hearts of people with dense phobia palpitate, like a forest of lightning hanging upside down overhead.

I looked at Tiran Shengxue, who was standing beside me, and said:

"It's really interesting that the angel himself is the host. This isn't my original world, is it? ”

Dressed in the one-piece robes peculiar to the white clergy, Tiran Shengxue slowly turned her delicate face like a porcelain doll, and a pair of tanzanite-like bright eyes looked at me fixedly, and said:

"This is a 'dream space' dedicated to competitions, and every game will be played in the dream space."

"Dream space?" I smiled and said, "Nice name." It seems that my conjecture about the structure of the world is correct. Hehe...... So, let's get started, I don't want to waste time, let's name the project of the competition. If I'm right, guess the number of these 'great swords' on top of your head, right? This is a project that tests quick image memory and digital intuition. ”

Tiran Shengxue nodded and said:

"Yes. Once the match starts, the swords above your head will fall in random numbers, and before the first sword hits, you'll have to guess the number of swords, and the closer you guess to the real numbers, the higher your score. There are 224 spectators participating in this game, and there will be two rankings after the game, one is the ranking of the total score of the players, and the other is the ranking of the winners and losers of the two players against the Warring States, because of the special requirements of your country, the score of the second list, you will not be able to know until the end of the game. There is a certain pattern in the speed and number of swords falling, and it is necessary to calculate to know that the match is not completely without danger, and the player who is hit by the sword may die on the spot. If the player is not in good shape, he or she can also give up the event in the middle of the process, but giving up is considered a defeat. ”

I smiled and said:

"It's an interesting project, but it's a bit too pediatric for me...... Forget it, let's get started. ”

Tiran Shengxue took a step back, then raised her right arm with extreme standard precision, pointed straight to the sky, and said:

"It's game on."

As Tiran Shengxue's words fell, countless swords fell like hail towards the area where I was standing, but the whole time, I never looked up, just looked down at the ground.

"Shen Wuyue, what are you doing here!?" Seeing my move, the episcopal conference exclaimed from the audience. Everyone was frightened by my inaction of refusing to look up.

But the next second, I smiled and said:

"Three hundred and sixty-eight."

As soon as the words fell, the countless swords that pierced my head stopped falling in an instant, as if they had been caught by an invisible hand.

I smiled, looked at the angel referee standing aside, and said:

"I'm not wrong, Lord Angel?"

Tiran Shengxue crossed his hands in front of his abdomen, and said expressionlessly:

Your answer is correct. I didn't expect you to look at the shadows on the ground to judge the number. Although the other two hundred and twenty-three players all answered the same as you, you have the most unique way of doing it all, the Kannatsuki player. ”
