Chapter 157: Investigation

As soon as Wu Ming saw Vincent coming back, he temporarily put down his sparring with Qi Gefei and walked quickly in front of him.

"But ......," Vincent said straight to the point, "before that, I was personally curious about one thing. ”

Wu Ming waved his hand and motioned for Vincent to continue: "Please speak." ”

"Where the hell did you go after the Battle of Miracles? Why did you choose to come back at this time? ”

Where did it go? Choosing to come back?

Hearing Vincent's question, Wu Ming's eyebrows jumped, and then he couldn't help but flash many conjectures in his mind against the relevant memories that had been digested in his mind, and then he leaned back, quickly calculated the pros and cons and risks of different answers in his mind, and finally decided to reply to this question with a vague answer.

Wu Ming glanced at Mo Li without leaving a trace, and then said slowly: "For us, this is an aid operation. ”

"Assistance?" Vincent frowned, he keenly noticed the other party's suspicious little movements, but he didn't know the meaning of the other party's glance, he also tried to secretly ask the wishing network to verify whether the other party was deceitful or malicious, but the result given was negative, which made him even more confused, "Aid to us?" Or aid to whom? What do you want to get? ”

And Wu Ming still had a polite smile that almost felt sore, adhering to the principle that if you say too much, you must lose, and continued to babble: "We want to solve some puzzles and solve some problems at the same time...... When those questions are answered, they will leave again......"

At the same time, he also muttered in his heart: Investigating and solving the problem of the black family crossing is also a problem, and solving the mystery of this world is also solving the puzzle...... I didn't say exactly what it was...... Don't blame me for your own misunderstanding.

"Believe it...... Vincent's characteristic nodded, and instead of continuing to investigate, he moved on to the next topic: "The Pioneer Council wants to exchange the Calamity Mother fragments in your hands for research. ”

Perhaps because he was afraid of Wu Ming, he added: "Of course there are quid pro quo......

"It doesn't hurt to talk about that later." Wu Ming smiled and stretched out his hand to him: "First of all, I wish us a happy cooperation." ”

"Cooperation...... Uh, pleasant. Looking at Wu Ming's outstretched hand, Vincent hesitated for a while, and finally he reached out and shook it.

…………

Two days later, near an impact crater with a radius of almost ten kilometers.

This is the city where the Miracle Saint fought with the Mother Calamity before, but under the impact of the asteroid, the city turned into a huge impact crater, if it wasn't for the last arrival of the Rebel Guard, with the help of the Wishing Network to perform the Great Wishing Technique to temporarily cut the surrounding space into a MΓΆbius ring, restraining the lethality of the asteroid impact, I am afraid that the scale of this impact crater would be larger than now.

Wu Ming and his party were walking on the edge of the impact crater.

They were commissioned by the Rebel Guard to go deep into the crater to investigate.

"Hmm, I really want to go to the city to play......" Elizabeth kicked the pebbles under her feet in boredom, muttering "Big brother...... We've all been out for two days, so why can't we go to the city? I really want to see if there's anything good to eat here, and I heard Murray say that the food that comes out of the wishing network here is delicious......"

In the past two days, because of the ban of the Pioneer Council and the surveillance of the rebel guards, they have been able to stay in the wilderness and not close to the human settlements, and they can only rely on Wu Ming to use the material conversion module to refine the clods of soil into bread, puffs and other foods, which makes Elizabeth, who originally wanted to go to a nearby city to eat a big meal and experience the food of the other world, very disappointed.

"That's what they're worried about, you see, after all, in their eyes, Murray is an unstable factor, the kind of ...... who has to wear restraints when they go out" Wu Ming spread his hands, and the handcuffs on his hands were removed after Vincent confirmed that they were not part of the Wishing Network, and that the restraints had no effect on them

Of course, even if the Rebel Guards wanted to continue handcuffing him, it wouldn't be a problem anyway, there was a containment space, and he could take it down at any time if he touched it......

"I'm really sorry for dragging down the tourism of you big people......" Mo Li, who was constantly making a jingling sound because of the handcuffed restraints, rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "I don't know who made the ...... with so many restraints on me."

Naturally, Maury was still handcuffed, and the number increased by four compared to before, but out of humanitarian considerations and Wu Ming's efforts to ask for the price of the fragments of the Mother of Calamity, Vincent finally decided to give him some freedom, and the restraints no longer cuffed his hands and feet firmly like a handcuff prisoner, but used a pair of handcuffs to lock a limb in a corresponding way, and then added a collar around his neck......

"Don't be so angry." Wu Ming patted him on the shoulder, and he didn't feel guilty about making Mo Li pit in his heart at all, "Let's think of something happy, if your sealed limb is divided into five equal parts, as long as someone can collect your body parts in the future, won't you be able to declare victory directly?" It's also about contributing to others......"

The little black man Murry's forehead was bruised: "Is this a happy thing!" Besides, what the hell is that thing! Dividing people into quintiles sounds scary, okay? ”

"Isn't your greatest wish to accomplish a great deed? Turning into an Ekzodia with infinite attack power is also a great feat. Wu Ming spread his hands innocently, with a smile on his face, "Besides, aren't people who wish for the world can't die as long as they don't want to die, so you should take it as a ...... if you cut it into five parts."

Wu Ming raised his head and thought for a while, and brought up some memories of the wishing world from his mind: "Isn't it just a way for young people in this era to find excitement......

Although Maury didn't know who Ekzodia was, it didn't prevent him from being so angry that a puff of black smoke came out of his body.

After thinking about it, he didn't do it in the end, not only because he couldn't beat the other party, but also because he didn't want to care about it - well, he admitted that he just couldn't beat this guy who owed his mouth.

In the past two days, Wu Ming has been busy looking for Elizabeth in the wilderness, digesting and reading the memories left by Naia in his brain, and he has almost no time to be idle.

The spirit is too tight and can only rely on leisure time to have fun, but when Elizabeth can't get the stalk and ridicules Fei Ge that she will be able to play hard during sparring, Wu Ming's object of fun can only be transferred to Moli.

So that's where we have today's conversation.

Of course, the effect is also obvious, Wu Ming not only had fun, but Mori was also upset and irritable in a short period of time, and he had no time to continue to be autistic and think about life - who am I, what is the meaning of me living as a clone.

It's a win-win.

"Wu Ming, it's obviously more efficient to fly over or teleport over, right?" Qi Gefei carried a black iron greatsword larger than her body, and looked at the scene inside the impact crater, "Don't you use the teleportation function this time?" ”

Wu Ming's attention had already shifted most of his attention to the map drawn by the stealth detector and the information sent back, and he replied without looking back at the dragon girl's questions: "No, other exploration planes have sent out observation missions, and this nearby exploration plane has some other tasks in the pit, and it just so happens that the mission also requires us to go to a few places to investigate on the spot, so if there is no accident this time, we will simply walk over......

According to the information provided by the Guardians, the effects of the Matrix of Calamity have faded much slower than the model predicts, and the Pioneer Council speculates that there may be some fragments of the Matrix here, and several suspicious locations have been circled, but the details cannot be concluded through long-range observation, and someone must go inside to investigate.

And they were going to go deeper into the crater in place of the Rebel Guards, to find out why the pollution had not subsided properly.

As for why they were chosen......

That's because apart from Wu Ming and his party, I'm afraid that there will be no second group of people in this world who can go deep into the polluted area.

In the two days that the partnership was established, in exchange for providing the fragments of the Calamity Matrix, the Rebel Guards also shared the knowledge that Wu Ming desperately needed.

Among them was the study of the Calamity Mother, and Maury also knew a lot of knowledge that he had never known before.

When the area infested by the Mother Calamity is infested, a large amount of polluting power will be left behind, and when the polluting power reaches a certain concentration, it will not only greatly enhance the wishing effect of that area, but also distort and interfere with the connection between the individual and the wishing network, so that any wish made within the polluted range, or even the thoughts that arise in a moment, will be polluted and distorted as a wish, and the original normal wish will be realized in a very distorted and malicious way.

This is one of the reasons why in the catastrophe caused by the Mother of Calamity, there are still a large number of casualties, and even the entire city is destroyed, even though people have the protection of the Wishing Network.

Because wishes and thoughts are misinterpreted.

The desire to end this nightmare was misinterpreted as the meaning of suicide, and if he wanted to avoid the pain of the flames, he skipped the burning process and turned directly into charcoal, and wanted to treat half of his body that was flattened into meat sauce, and was twisted into a meat sauce asymmetry with only half of his body, and it would be perfect to grind the other half of his body into meat sauce...... And so on and so forth, and so on and so forth, and so on.

If you want to operate in the contaminated area of the Mother Calamity without being affected too much, you must either completely block the connection and response mechanism with the Wishing Network, or you will not belong to the Wishing Network system at all.

However, the former, including the Rebel Guard, who are unable to use the Wishing Network, cannot play the slightest role in the face of the Calamity Mother, and can only wait for death. Therefore, it can only be Wu Ming, who does not belong to the Wishing Network and has the power to fight against the Mother of Calamity, to come to the polluted area to investigate.

"Let's go down from here......" Wu Ming found a relatively gentle ramp, and beckoned a few people behind him to follow, "The slope here is relatively gentle, don't worry about rolling directly to the bottom of the pit as soon as people roll down, and it is relatively close to the suspicious marking point, everyone hurry up, I will enter the scene to investigate after opening the shield and protection......"

Several people quickly gathered together, and then the invisible shield and life support module unfolded to cover everyone, and Mo Li followed behind Wu Ming, down the not-so-steep ramp, and spent several hours investigating five or six marking points in a row to find nothing, and when he was about to go to the marking point in the center of the pit, he suddenly felt a creepy meaning rise from his back!
