Nie Yuan withdrew his gaze from the pendulum clock and said, "Now we can be sure that the 'handwriting of truth' does play the role of prophecy, not a record, but eliminates the process of verifying this step." ”

Because Nancy is facing away from the bell and can't see the time.

She also doesn't lie to herself and Buck.

Therefore, it can only be understood that she has an unusual talent in this area, and she can know the current time anytime and anywhere.

Buck nodded, "Actually, it's about the same as I expected, and I can still feel that two minutes in advance, the prophecy of this robbery has consumed most of its 'characteristics'." ”

Hearing this, Nie Yuan asked, "In other words, Truth Handwriting is a disposable, and it can be consumed as much as it has with its characteristics, and it can't be replenished, right?" ”

Buck replied, "Yes, if it is to answer more complex questions, it needs to use higher quality materials, more sophisticated alchemy techniques, to improve its properties. ”

Nie Yuan said: "It's also very good, if you use it well, the effect will not be small." ”

Buck thought for a moment and said, "Depending on the situation, the characteristics that need to be consumed to answer the same question in the handwriting of truth will also vary greatly.

This time, it was able to present the answer two minutes earlier, but if the environment was more complex next time, it might only be a dozen seconds earlier.

For example, if I'm a robber, and I'm squatting in an inaccessible place, then there are very few people passing by here, so I can basically be sure that you who come to my squatting point will be the next target.

In another scenario, I'm still a robber, but I'm ready to do a big job, and I'm looking for a suitable target to follow in the crowded streets.

Then the odds of you being selected as a victim are reduced by hundreds or thousands of times, of course, provided that you don't go out wearing dozens of gold chains.

At this time, the time given by the handwriting of truth to give an answer may change from two minutes in advance to a few seconds in advance.

So it's really very mysterious in theory, but I should focus on the quality when refining it, otherwise it will still be very useful to us now. ”

After listening to Buck's question, Nie Yuan still agreed.

In the face of more complex scenes, if the handwriting of truth really plays a role in reversing the situation, it must need to climb geometrically in quality.

Otherwise, ask it, "Am I going to die today?" ”

As a result, because the quality can't keep up with the complex scenes you experience, they replied half a second in advance: "Yes." ”

Isn't that for fun?

Half a second before he died, when he saw the answer that suddenly appeared on this thing, he must have had no time to react, and he hiccuped when he looked up.

"Now that the utility of the handwriting of truth has been clarified, the next step is to verify its trigger conditions, as long as it is within its ability, that is, when it consumes its own characteristics, enough to give the corresponding answer, it will emerge within the limit threshold?" Nie Yuan asked.

Buck looked at the yellow paper in Nie Yuan's hand and said, "You should know if you try it, after giving the answer 'will be robbed', there should still be a little bit of characteristics left in it, which can just be used for verification, but don't ask too complicated questions." ”

"Okay."

Nie Yuan answered, did not grind, picked up the yellow paper in his hand, and asked him:

"How many silver coins did Nancy and I lose today?"

His eyes were fixed on the yellow paper, but after a few breaths, he did not move as if he had asked him a question in the morning.

"What's going on? Although you said that there is only a little bit of characteristics left in it, it is not so that you can't even answer such a simple question, right? ”

"I don't know, maybe there is a condition that needs to be met in order for its trait to be triggered."

Nie Yuan shook the yellow paper in his hand, and turned it over and shook it, as if in this way, urging the yellow paper to show a reaction.

And recall in my mind that when I went out today, I sandwiched the yellow paper in a book, could it be that it took a certain amount of time for it to brew the answer, or did it need to be clipped up?

But just as Nie Yuan was thinking about it, the yellow paper that he was shaking in his hand faintly appeared with a cloud of ink.

Nie Yuan and Buck both quickly noticed the change, and immediately turned the yellow paper to the front, only to see that the ink gradually became clear, and a number emerged-

【15】

"What's going on?"

Nie Yuan frowned puzzled, full of doubts.

First of all, the answer to the yellow paper emerged this time, much faster than last time, because Buck was more sure that the last time he was away for about an hour, the yellow paper was abnormal, and he sensed it.

And now, only a few breaths have passed.

It's hard to pick it up and shake it, which is the way to trigger it to give a quick answer.

And also.

Isn't it ten silver coins?

Nie Yuan saw Nancy go out with his own eyes.

How can the answer be fifteen?

Suddenly!

Nie Yuan seemed to think of something, and quickly put his palm into the pocket of his windbreaker.

Then, he began to shout angrily: "Damn bad guy! Don't let me see you again next time! ”

Yes, the five silver coins he brought out of the door for an emergency, I don't know when, are gone!

In retrospect, it may have been the "polite robber" who kept bowing to himself and Nancy and saying thank you as he left, diverted his attention, and then gave him the money in his pocket and smuggled it away!

Nie Yuan gritted his teeth.

I think you're very polite, maybe you were really forced to come out to do such a risky job, and didn't let Lillian go after you, a little thief.

It's too bad.

The human heart is sinister.

Society is complicated!

Seeing this, Buck also roughly understood the reason, and said with a smile: "So this answer is accurate, right?" ”

Nie Yuan looked helpless and sighed: "Accurate, it's just too accurate." ”

When he finished saying this, he felt that the yellow paper in his hand seemed to be undergoing some kind of change.

Looking down, I saw that the originally pliable paper began to "wither" after giving an accurate answer.

Like a glue baked at a high temperature, it began to shrink, from slow to fast, and after a while, it turned into a few wisps of light ashes.

Nie Yuan's palm moved slightly, and before he could grab it, the few wisps of ash suddenly shattered and drifted away like catkins.

Buck explained, "The properties inside are consumed, and this alchemical creation is automatically reduced to dust, and now we know one of its qualities. ”

Nie Yuan could also understand Buck's words when he heard this, but looking at the ashes that had drifted away, he thought of something, and frowned slightly:

"It occurred to me now that the way to trigger its properties might not be to hold it in a book, or to shake it in your hand, but to ...... Can't observe? ”

Thinking back to the situation when the answers came up on both occasions, didn't the handwriting of truth only react when no one saw it?

Just now, Nie Yuan turned it over and shook it, and it was the same way that he and Buck's eyes were cut off.

It's just that when it shook this time, the swing of the yellow paper made the two of them notice the change for the first time.

Buck also agreed with Nie Yuan's words very much, and said, "It seems that this is true, but I still need to confirm that I will try to refine two truthful handwriting in the next two days."

In addition to verification, I also explored the method of refining higher-quality truth handwriting, which is really useful. ”

After Buck finished speaking, Gustav's voice came from downstairs, sounding like little Mr. Gustav:

"Buck, it's already dark, and the last guest is leaving, is it going to close?"

When Buck heard this, he went down the stairs and said, "Wait until I come down to close after I get some tidying." ”

"Okay, you hurry up Buck."

Gustav's voice came again, but it sounded, this time again Mr. Gustav was speaking.

Let the annoying spirit in his body, control his body for a whole day, and Mr. Gustav can't stand it anymore.

Buck didn't answer when he heard this, but he walked straight down the stairs, and turned back to Nie Yuan and said, "In addition, Qiao Qi and they should be back soon, when they come back, I will build a heart for you, and the quality will be much higher than I expected at first." ”

Nie Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, I'm looking forward to it." ”

After Buck left, Nie Yuan sat down in his own chair and began to think about a lot of things.

There is a handwriting about the truth.

There is something about the goddess of the moonlight.

There's something about who you are.

And the super heart that is about to be created by Buck.

Looking forward to it?

There must be.

But it is also accompanied by some worries, worried about whether his body can control it.

If they can't handle it, then how can they explain it to Buck.

Just as Nie Yuan was thinking, his gaze was attracted by the few wisps of ashes on the ground that belonged to the handwriting of truth.

The night has arrived, and the wind outside the window is gradually cold and noisy.

A few wisps of ash were swept away by the wind, swept away by the window, bathed in the gentle moonlight.

Nie Yuan seemed to feel something, and looked up suddenly.

Tonight's moon is still clear and soft, but if you look deeply and look closely, you seem to be able to catch a faint touch of imperceptible scarlet, floating on the edge of the moon disk, making it difficult to see.

Somehow, an invisible trace of unbearable emotion flashed in Nie Yuan's mind.
