Chapter 31: The Old Scientist

Lu Lie felt that the pain on his body was disappearing at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and it seemed that the golden heart they said about in the future had indeed given his body magical powers. He held on to the "root of the wall" and slowly got up from the ground: "Okay, I've already roughly told me about my origins. You have to come and go to be a man, so that others are willing to make friends with you. It's time for you to tell us about yourself, too. ”

In the darkness, the old scientist's voice was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking hard, and there was some surprise: "Go...... That guy, I thought he was a smart man with great wisdom and foolishness, but I didn't expect that he would kill himself. No, it's not, maybe some formula can be calculated at all......"

Seeing that the old scientist was chattering, he was about to calm down in his own formula world again. Lu Lie couldn't laugh and couldn't cry, and interrupted him: "Hey, old guy, are you listening to me?" I see if you've been alone for too long, there's something wrong here. ”

As he spoke, Lu Lie made an exaggerated gesture and pointed to his head with his finger. He suddenly thought that this was in the darkness, and the old scientist on the other side could not see his own movements, how could he comprehend his humor? Just as he was admiring himself, he suddenly felt that something slippery and greasy in the darkness quickly rubbed his outstretched hand, and soon disappeared again.

"I'm Γ—, what's that......"

Lu Lie was greatly startled, and his hand instinctively retracted. By the time he reacted and reached out to grab the clump, it was already too late.

A chill slowly crept up Lu Lie's back.

Obviously, in the darkness they were in now, in the belly of that void beast, there were more than just two of them.

But what was it that passed through the darkness and wiped Lu Lie's fingers?

The moment when the two intersected was very brief. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Lie still had that little unknown sticky feeling on the back of his hand at the moment, he would have thought that it was his hallucination before.

This is probably the scariest place in the darkness, and you never know what you are facing face to face.

The old scientist on the other side didn't seem to realize this at all, and he thought about it for a long time, as if he had just woken up: "Ah, what question did you ask me before, how did I get to this place, right?" ”

He asked Lu Lie a question: "Then do you know that for so many years, I have been staying at the bottom of the Mysterious God City, and what is it for?"

Lu Lie was still thinking about the slippery creature that passed by him in the dark, so he naturally replied angrily: "Old man, don't grind and chirp with me here." Who can live until sunrise, and who is in the mood to talk about this and that. ”

The old scientist didn't mind Lu Lie's bad attitude. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he said to himself: "I have been staying at the bottom of the Lost God City for so many years, just to find out what purpose Yao led the expeditionary force to climb the giant tree a hundred years ago. It's the same with building a city of mysteries in a giant tree, and it's also a ...... to deliberately bring an expeditionary force to a dead end on a giant tree."

But there is no doubt that his purpose was definitely not to build some Yellow Springs Kingdom in search of eternal life. ”

Lu Lie sneered in his heart: "That's it, Lao Tzu not only knows that Yao is a human from the future, but also knows that his universe is about to be destroyed by the Eternals." His purpose in coming to the world of Karma Twist is to turn himself into a non-human in order to avoid the pursuit of Dax's paradox.

However, Lu Lie did not plan to tell the old scientist about this paragraph. He just pretended to be interested and asked, "Oh, then you've been under that ruined city for hundreds of years, and you've come up with anything?"

The old scientist sighed faintly: "I repeatedly counted the manuscripts left by Yao a hundred years ago, and finally I have to admit that he is a genius, an unprecedented genius. It's like a math problem, even if he writes the answer in front of you and breaks it down to you step by step, you still can't understand what he means. ”

"It's too difficult to understand Yao with the wisdom of mortals. However, I spent hundreds of years at the bottom of the Lost God City, and finally I finally understood the meaning behind the strings of mathematical formulas that Yao had written down by hand. ”

"He's looking for a place called the Borderlands, where there's a being called the Tower of Despair. The Tower of Despair is known as one of the three most dangerous beings in the universe, but at the same time, it can grant any wish of mortals. ”

Speaking of this, the old scientist deliberately paused, wanting Lu Lie to digest this huge amount of information. Lu Lie's pupils shrank into two points, and he already knew about the existence of the Borderland and the Tower of Despair. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Yao had been looking for this place all the time. So the purpose of his climb to the top of the giant tree is to enter this wormhole? But what wish can he fulfill?

"Is it ......?"

An incredible thought came out of Lu Lie's mind,

"Could it be that this guy wants to make a wish to the Tower of Despair and destroy the Eternals?"

But is this really possible?

According to Li Yuan and the three future people, isn't the Eternals close to being like a god?If Yao made such a promise to the Tower of Despair, would the Tower of Despair really be fulfilled?

But "let the eternal be destroyed", which in itself is also a type of desire. And isn't the Tower of Despair abiding by the fact that it can grant any wish of anyone?

"So what?" Lu Lie asked the old scientist, "Then how did you come to this hellish place?" ”

"That's the teleportation array Yao left behind. The old scientist said lightly, "Yao left a code on his manuscript, which translates to this meaningβ€”

If there really is anyone who can read this line, then I don't know, it turns out that there are such great perseverance and great wisdom among mortals who can barely keep up with the footsteps of my generation. If you've been studying for so long and really want to know what my purpose is, then I can give you this opportunity.

Just follow along, and use your own eyes to see for yourself what I want to do.

Remember your choices. Once you have chosen this path, there is no room for reversal. ”

Hearing the old scientist's words, Lu Lie fell into deep thought. It turned out that Yao had left a secret door in his manuscript back then, and once someone was really able to crack his code, they would be teleported to the same space as him.
