Chapter 268: It's the Soul That Escaped?
It was an extremely thin beam, magnified a thousandfold, and no thicker than a human hair on the screen. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But it's obvious, because it doesn't glide for a short distance like other energy beams and disappear, but remains in a steady panning process, disappearing off the screen almost in the blink of an eye.
"That's really the case!"
Marven suddenly woke up, all his sleepiness was instantly eliminated, and his two red eyes widened. He rushed to the table in one step, pinpointed the direction and time, and then quickly operated the energy locator. With the dexterous tapping of fingers, the noisy beams of energy around them disappeared one by one, leaving only this suspicious beam of light to replay repeatedly on the screen.
"Damn! It was an accident! ”
Marven seemed to be calculating the flight trajectory, and although he was busy, he could still punch himself in the head a few times in his free time from machine calculations, which showed how much of a bruise this small mistake was for this usually rigorous mechanic.
"Don't think so seriously, everything is still undecided, and until then, we don't need to scare ourselves."
Wu Ming said this, but he also knew in his heart that it was undoubtedly the "anchor" of escape-it was going to happen, and the disaster of alien invasion would inevitably come, and it was inevitable.
The key now is to see if there is a way to remedy it, and try to locate the final destination of the "anchor", so that we can be prepared and come up with corresponding countermeasures when disaster strikes. heiyaпge
That should be Furukawa's idea. When Marven was heartbroken, Furukawa's expression did not change much, obviously he should have estimated this in advance, and Furukawa should also be more determined to fight with the Chiata people, if as analyzed before, the "anchor" has disappeared, he will be disappointed.
"Don't blame yourself, Marven, it's not an accident." Furukawa's reassurance sounded more effective, "We expected this outcome for a long time, and your instrument recorded it, so it means that everything was planned." He turned his face to Wu Ming: "It's just that I'm a little curious, how could you think that it was a very faint energy?" ”
Wu Ming pinched the bridge of his nose, and staring at the screen for a while made his eyes feel dry, and at the same time, he was also a little hesitant to share his speculation, because the speculation was a little whimsical and sensational.
But before Wu Ming spoke, Marven's calculations had already had preliminary results.
"Its trajectory is an arc!"
Marven pushed the energy locator up, and the resolution of the screen was further enlarged, and it is estimated that it has reached the limit of three or four thousand times, and there is only one trajectory line left on the screen, and the whole is quite straight, but after carefully identifying a few glances, a little arc can be vaguely seen.
"The initial velocity is very large, and the angular shift occurs in such a short distance, indicating that it is disturbed by external forces."
As soon as the motivation came up, Marven's spirit was also a lot fuller, and he seemed sleepy, even if he stayed up for two more nights, it would not be a problem. Under the tap of the mechanic's fingers, several more equations appeared on the screen, apparently deducing the final direction of the energy beam.
"That's supposed traction, right? It should be at an angle of minus seventy-nine degrees to the initial direction. Wu Ming also stepped up, carefully watching the data, and at the same time adding his own inferences.
Marven nodded, but found that Furukawa might not be able to understand these contents, so he changed his statement: "The initial direction of energy escape is northerly westward, and the interference force occurs in the south, which is about the city of Mangu. It may be that under the influence of gravity, the trajectory of that energy has been deflected to a certain extent. ”
Furukawa understood: "In other words, that thing is actually a very weak energy, and it did escape according to the plan." ”
Marven sighed weakly: "Yes, I let it escape......" The frustration in his words couldn't be more obvious.
Wu Ming turned around and patted Marven on the shoulder: "There is no need to blame ourselves, even if we found it at that time, it is obvious that we can't capture it, because it is too fast, the observation range of the locator is only eight hundred meters, and it escaped in less than three seconds, it is definitely not controllable by manpower." The key is that we can basically determine the direction of its escape, as long as we monitor it within the range of this direction, I believe there is always a way to find it. ”
Furukawa smiled approvingly, but he hadn't forgotten the previous question: "You must have guessed a long time ago, you might as well tell us, it must be very important." ”
Wu Ming sat back, and his expression became more solemn.
"I'm just going a step further with the information you've given me, which may or may not be true." He slowly recalled, "In Madeira, Lilac was badly injured...... It was a fatal wound, I could see it clearly. But it didn't take long for her to come back to life, and everything was normal, as if all that had been hit on her was a rubber bullet. ”
Furukawa nodded incessantly. He was also at the scene at the time, and it can be said that without the timely rescue of Furukawa and Holly, Lilac would definitely not survive.
"I thought it was just the magical power of the Ark of the Covenant, because it obviously had a strong defensive effect from the appearance of the Ark." Wu Ming continued, "But as you said afterwards, Holly also made a secret move, and the Witch Stone even lost its original brilliance because of it, so I've been thinking about how these two treasures work together." ”
Furukawa and Marven both quieted down, listening intently to Wu Ming's words, and at the same time, they couldn't help but think about the situation in their minds. Lilac's resurrection is a bit of a miracle, everything happens like magic, but the real principle is something that no one can figure out. Since Wu Ming has thought deeply about this, there will definitely be a truth to what he said.
Wu Ming stopped when he said this, and his attitude was a little hesitant, obviously worried that his expression would not be recognized, and even be ridiculed.
So Furukawa gave him another boost: "I can guess that what you want to prove is the efficacy of the Witch Stone, please rest assured, we have opened our minds and intend to accept any novel ideas." ”
Wu Ming said "um": "To save a person, in addition to repairing the heavy injuries on the body, there is another important condition - his or her soul cannot be annihilated. The role of the Ark of the Covenant is obviously in the former, and the role of the Witch's Stone lies in the latter. ”
Marven was skeptical about whether people have souls from the beginning, and now he obviously feels that it is not very reliable, but Furukawa has something to say first, so he only opened his mouth, but did not raise any objections.
"She took the fragment of the Witch's Stone," regardless of Marven's attitude, Wu Ming was determined to continue, because he was sure that he was right, "The intention should be here—she wants to absorb the soul!" And that soul is the soul of a Kiata! ”
This was an extremely terrifying speculation, and although Marven was skeptical, he unconsciously shrugged his shoulders when Wu Ming retracted the tail note in a low voice.
Furukawa also brushed his hair, frowned thoughtfully, and paused for a long time before finally exhaling softly.
"Even if it's a soul, it's still very weak." He smiled faintly, not as if he didn't think it was a big challenge, or rather, Furukawa was simply looking forward to the Armageddon on schedule.
"That's probably the main reason why we have to wait a decade or twenty?" Furukawa said lightly, while rounding the question back around, "What about her?" What do you think...... She failed, didn't she? Because in fact, the energy only deviated from its original trajectory, but it did not stop, and was controlled by her. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Ming's confidence is not so sufficient, because it involves her motives, her true intentions, and Wu Ming was still convinced of these aspects, but after determining the variables that may happen to her, Wu Ming felt that it was actually very problematic.
"She may have failed, or she may have done it on purpose...... Unfortunately, I can't tell. ”
Wu Ming swallowed back the speculation about the woman herself, because that guess was not only difficult for Wu Ming to accept, but also for Furukawa to waver.
Although Furukawa couldn't feel emotions like Holly, Wu Ming's desire to speak stopped, but he still heard it. But he didn't follow the question, just focused on the question at hand.
"That energy, maybe a soul, has changed its trajectory of escape, and that's all we can do now, right?"
"That's not all." Marven interjected at this point, "Whether it's a soul or not, I won't comment for the time being, but what I want to say is that with the initial velocity of that energy escaping, the velocity when it is out of our monitoring range, and the angle of deflection as parameters, we will have a chance to determine the approximate position it is at zero velocity." Without calculation, and based on my speculation, it should have been in the territory of Ezreel, and it was even very likely that it was Relusel. And in the case of deflection, it should have flown to Central Africa, or orbit the Earth, and fly directly to South America, where we are now, or possibly......"
Wu Ming couldn't help but shake his head: "I advise you not to bother with that effort, because there are too many variables, and you will encounter a lot of obstacles on the way, maybe the taller banana trees can stop it." Let's be more realistic, so we might as well admit it: we lost it, and he might have appeared—that filthy guy in black scales and green blood running down his body, hiding in some corner of our world, maybe even knocking on someone's door! ”
At this point, there was a knock on the door.
"When...... While...... When ......" (To be continued.) )
