Wu Ming really wanted to question Marven in person, why did this guy make his own decisions and plan to trade the relics left by General Jose to him. But he finally held back, because judging from the results of the engagement, the guy may have expected that the transaction would not be able to go through, and the red phone was probably just a stepping stone.

It is not difficult to guess the reason for this, the chip placed in the mobile phone should come from the alliance military, and black market vendors like Tao Les are inextricably linked with the military, and most of the scarce substances they have come from the secret provision of the military.

After dinner, Yaji ran back to his room early, in his words, he had spent too much energy this day, he had to seize all the time to rest, and he also needed to get up early the next day, Marven needed a lot of goods, he was the main force in the coolies, he had to carry and transport, how to nourish his spirits.

Although Wu Ming pretended to have a question mark on his stomach, in view of the fact that Marven was always cold, just like his nickname, among all of them, it seemed that the most difficult thing to get along with was this high-density steel plate, so Wu Ming also endured it, locked himself in the room, guessed by himself, and recovered by himself.

Unexpectedly, at more than nine o'clock, Wu Ming was about to rest, and the door was knocked open by Marven.

"There are a few things I want to talk to you about, so I'm afraid you'll have to go to bed later." He went straight to the point, and without Wu Ming's consent, he went straight to the room, sat down at the small square table in the reception area, and cleaned up the slightly messy tabletop.

Wu Ming went to sit down opposite Marven: "It just so happens that I don't feel sleepy, if you are willing to talk, I can't ask for it." ”

Marven nodded, his face still flat, but in Wu Ming's opinion, his attitude was much better than he imagined.

"First of all, I need to apologize to you." Marven said, "I didn't ask about your belongings beforehand, so I ......"

Wu Ming smiled: "That's nothing, it's forced by the situation, I can understand it." ”

Marven also smiled. When smiling, this guy's facial muscles always seem a little stiff, as if the last thing he's done in his life is to show kindness.

"You must have been wondering why Furukawa would let us out on errands, right?" Marven's smile quickly retracted, and now, he looked even more serious than before.

"There are some ......," Wu Ming snorted, "but I guess that should be a test for me by you......"

Wu Ming lifted the lid of the teacup and poured a glass of white water for Marven and himself. He felt that the meeting should not be as awkward as an interrogation, that everyone should be relaxed, that it should be like a conversation between friends or partners.

Marven just glanced at the water glass, but didn't pick it up. "You're right, it's a test." He said thoughtfully, "And I am the one who asks you to be tested." ”

It's not surprising, in Wu's view, that's Marven's style — he's rigorous, not only for his work, but also for his partners.

"So, am I qualified?" Wu Ming gently touched the side of his mouth with the cup, but in fact, he didn't drink a drop of water, he just wanted to behave casually.

"It's just the beginning, and it's not up to the mark." Marven looked into Wu Ming's eyes, his expression like a stern examiner.

Wu Ming shrugged his shoulders: "It seems that you are still quite polite, if you want me to say, my grades may not be as good as Yaji." ”

"You're different." Marven said, "You have different starting points, so you shouldn't hold yourself to Yaji's standards; Allow me to be more objective, that's the equivalent of depreciating yourself. ”

"Oh?" Wu Ming put the cup back on the table, "I never thought I would be worth more, I don't know what you mean by that?" ”

"You'll understand." Marven dodged the question.

He stared at Wu Ming's cup for a moment, then raised his head again, "That was the first thing just now, my apologies, I think I've made it clear." Here's the second thing, which is about cloves. ”

Wu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly. When it came to cloves, no matter what that incident was, Wu Ming felt that it was a very serious matter.

"It's about what happened to her." Marven's tone was still very calm, but that calmness made Wu Ming feel a little mad, "I heard your description in the morning, it is quite optimistic, and it is close to Furukawa's view, but...... I hope you're not hiding anything. ”

"Hiding what?" Wu Ming turned his head sideways and looked at Marven with the same seriousness, "Why do you think so?" ”

"It's just a worrying thing." Marven still looked so unmoved, "Although I'm not sure if that's all your motives, the magical power of the Ark of the Covenant seems to be something you've been paying attention to." And besides you, the murderous alien invaders seem to be showing a lot of interest in it, so isn't there anything to do with it? ”

Wu Ming fell silent.

Marven's question is to the point, there is indeed a connection here, and although the connection is unconfirmed, it is actually what Wu Ming is most worried about at the moment - that is the role of the Ark of the Covenant!

The assumption that the Ark of the Covenant was an enlightened body left over from an ancient powerhouse has been confirmed, as can be inferred from the smooth fusion of Lilac's magical powers. But whether the effect of that powerful consciousness body is to seal the energy mark marked by the Kiata people on Earth, Wu Ming still has no clue.

Wu Ming had observed Lilac's reaction in private, and until now, she was still calling everything business as usual - the information of the Consciousness Energy was relatively stable, as if there was no ineffective force infiltrated into it. In Wu Ming's speculation, the energy mark of the Chiata Star has disappeared, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, no matter how powerful the energy is, it may be attenuated, not to mention that the power of the Ark of the Covenant is still amazingly strong, and under the long-term confrontation, it can speed up the decay of the energy mark, and at present, the mark may have completely failed.

But how much self-consolation that speculation carries, Wu Ming is equally clear. The technological level of the Kiata people far exceeds that of the earthlings, and all their means of invasion are long-lasting and solid, from the monitoring of remote sensing neurospheres to the delivery of zombie viruses, each of which has accurately caused a lot of trouble on the target planet, and there is no doubt that the energy mark that was banned by the Ark of the Covenant is the most important thing, and it is the key to whether the invasion can be successfully implemented after more than 20 years.

The power of the Ark of the Covenant was indeed amazingly powerful, but whether it was strong enough to cause the energy mark to decay to zero, Wu Ming was not so sure.

Marven brought up this topic again at this time, which was equivalent to putting Wu Ming's biggest worries in his heart on the observation table, and carefully observing them under a microscope, any small flaw in it could have a fatal impact on history.

From Wu Ming's silent reaction, Marven seemed to see something. He didn't go deeper, but picked up the water glass, tilted his head and took a big sip.

This is the second question, and it is actually what Furukawa wants to know the most at the moment. But it doesn't seem like we're going to have the answer right now, so we might as well let it hang over our heads first. He put down the water glass and looked at Wu Ming again, "There is another question that I want to know the most, and I will definitely pursue this question to the end." ”

Wu Ming pressed his temples, and remembered that he shouldn't have shown such frustration, so he withdrew his palm again and wiped his face: "Please sort out the questions more simply, because I really don't want to cheat in this important assessment." ”

Marven's examiner was still expressionless, as if he deliberately wanted to embarrass Wu Ming.

"Tell me, please, what do you think of the world you set out from?" Marven's voice seemed a little muffled, and it was obvious that there was an inherent answer to this question in his heart.

"The world I set out from?" Wu Ming frowned and looked at Marven's blue eyes, "What do you mean...... The world of the future? ”

Marven shook his head: "In my opinion, that may not be our future, but if you have to put it that way...... Well, I'm talking about the world of the future. ”

From Marven's expression and his previous attitude, Wu Ming guessed why he asked like this. This is indeed a test, a major test of one's own personality. Marven was undoubtedly full of doubts and worries about himself as a traveler, and after the utterance of that ridiculous plan, this doubt and worry took root in his heart. Despite Mr. Wu's verbal promises that he would revise his plan, the terrorist's identity has not been rewritten, and his potential for harm has always been there.

It is okay to say that Marven is hostile, or stalking, but in Wu Ming's opinion, this simple stubbornness is also a little cute and respectable, and because of this, Wu Ming doesn't want to be perfunctory about this issue.

"That's hell......" Wu Ming was silent for a moment, and finally replied slowly, "All kinds of descriptions of hell in history are illusory assumptions, and only the world I experienced is the real hell." ”

The corners of Marven's mouth finally showed a satisfied smile.

"Yes, that's hell indeed." "I ask you to remember this at all times: you are a person who has escaped from hell, and your decisions and your code of conduct may have the air of hell in it," he said. So, what you need is Keke, not to listen to the call of your heart. ”

He slowly stood up and stretched out his palm towards Wu Ming: "Welcome back to the human world, and you are also welcome to join the team fighting for the light." ”
