Chapter 978: The Demon King and the Brave
Nothing is more convincing than the self-account of the murderer himself.
Lu Xiang felt that even a teacher working for the Department of Homeland Security could not refute such a convincing reason.
But the problem is that Song Lan and she have been on the bus just now and haven't gone anywhere, could it be that he still has a good ear?
Not only that, but the dumb bird also accurately described Benjamin Abele's movements in the past ten minutes, including the whole process of him disguised as a medical staff and infiltrated Qi Yun's ward.
And while they were talking, Benjamin was in high spirits because he had accomplished this mission, and walked down the street like the wind, as if he had just won the jackpot of 10 million watts.
The reason why he was so happy was that Benjamin thought that his plan was foolproof, even if the people investigating the anomaly case wanted to break their heads, they would not have thought that they had turned Qi Yun into explosives, and even if they sent the most elite squad, it would be impossible to find out the whereabouts of the explosives.
It was hard to contain his excitement at the thought that in a few hours, the terrorist attack he planned would cause a sensation throughout the coalition government, and that everyone's hatred of the psionics would be mobilized by this bombing.
Although Lu Xiang couldn't see Benjamin's specific appearance at the moment, he could already feel embarrassed for him through Song Lan's description.
If the two videos were edited and posted on social media, Mr. Benjamin would have become a Coalition Government-designated certified clown within an hour.
Evil Dumb Bird!
It turns a careerist with great ambitions and wants to set off a change into a comedic character.
"How the hell did you hear that?"
She asked curiously.
"The answer lies in the jamming psionic energy, and a psychic master once told me that the jamming psionic energy can be used to detect."
"Psychic master?"
Lu Xiang was stunned, she really couldn't think of what kind of ruthless character could be called a "master" by Song Lan.
Song Lan didn't sell it either, he quickly revealed the answer to this question, "That's right, she is Ms. Ash, the Snow Witch, a high-ranking cadre of the Resistance Army, and when I was in the Western Suburbs Prison of the Seventeenth District, I also paid 50 watts of tuition. ”
“…… Snow Witch, Ash. ”
Lu Xiang was a little speechless.
Later, when she was in the Fourteenth Neutral Country, she also met each other, and the deepest impression left on her was that her skin was white and her breasts were large, and it seemed that because of her ability, she was not afraid of the cold at all, and her clothes when attending the banquet were extraordinarily light, and she was the object of vigilance at that time.
It's just that she didn't expect that Song Lan and her had a 50-watt transaction when she was in the Western Suburbs Prison.
This name always made her feel a little strange when it came out of Song Lan's mouth.
It feels like the final villain in the game, proudly claiming to have learned a skill from the mobs at the entrance to the novice village.
"Don't underestimate the rebels, they have made great achievements in the research of psionic powers, and most of the psionic people in the coalition government are too obsessed with the abilities themselves, and lack the development of psionic uses."
Song Lan said.
As for the range that can be detected by the interfering psionic energy, according to his actual experience, it is related to the strength of the psionic energy.
That is, as long as he wants to......
You can probably observe the daily life of polar bears at this moment in real time.
But this skill has a very obvious drawback, those messages that he doesn't want to know will also be received by his brain because the scope of the ability is too wide.
The church had described this, and the believers believed that the gods they believed in could know everything, everything they were doing and had done, and the believers thought that this omniscient omnipotence represented at least supreme power, but Song Lan had to stand up and correct this idea.
Nobody wants to be omniscient at all, and he's not interested in the chats on your computer or the behavior of locking yourself in your bedroom when you get home from work.
"What else do you see?"
Lu Xiang has always been observant, and she found that when Song Lan talked about this topic, her face turned white, which seemed to evoke his not good memories.
"It's better that you don't want to know."
Song Lan had palpitations, he had long heard that people in the core cities were open, and their private lives were extremely chaotic, just now, he fully sensed how chaotic the relationship between these people was, and there were even some relationships that he didn't dare to think about.
That's why the interfering psionic energy is so useful, but it's been sealed by him.
No, he has no interest in snooping on other people's privacy.
And now, Song Lan needs a period of time to empty her brain and throw out those sources of pollution.
Lu Xiang found a place for Song Lan, and after helping him sit down, he began to edit the text messages that he was about to send to the teacher of the "Danger Prevention" course.
Thankfully, at least there are still a lot of people in the DHS who are doing practical things this year.
With her understanding of the teacher, even if the source of the news is unknown, in order to avoid the occurrence of malignant incidents, he will intervene in the investigation.
After the message was sent anonymously, she really received three questions in less than ten seconds, but Lu Xiang only smiled slightly and did not reply again.
She thought about Qi Yun.
Rewinding time allows them to understand what has happened in the past, and what is presented to her at this moment is the impact of the fall of the upper world, all of which is so real before her eyes.
Believers who have lost the source of their energy forget who they once were, and they have a strong "withdrawal reaction".
Over the next three years, this has created countless tragedies, and Qi He is just one of them, and he is luckier than the others to get a chance to rewrite the past.
But as Song Lan mentioned, the butterfly effect is bound to implicate more people in the rewriting of the past.
In the "right timeline", Benjamin did not cooperate with RT1, did not meet Angel at the Royal Margaery Hotel, and did not launch an "AI rebellion" that caused a large number of casualties.
This brought forward the encounter between them to the present.
She suddenly asked, "Could it be that this is the rule of time?" In order to save the next person, more people often need to be sacrificed? ”
This operation itself can be regarded as a rescue operation for Qi Yun after a few years.
"It's not about Qi He, to be precise, as long as the same day is repeated once, each time it will get a different result."
"Isn't that against the theory of fate? Didn't you say before that if you want to change a person's fate, you often have to pay a huge price? ”
"That's right, that's what fate wants you to know."
Song Lan was noncommittal, "This is what the prophecy of the upper world shows, the reason why this lie can continue forever is because no one can verify the truth of the prophecy, this is actually a clever trick, the prophecy gives a definite fragment, as long as it tries its best to transform the picture in the omen into reality, people will believe it." ”
"You're trying to say that your fraud technique was learned from 'Destiny'?"
"I just saw things outside of the prophecy."
In places other than the prophecy, Li Ergou and Wang Haozi will experience the reincarnation of death and life in different ways on the same day, but in fact, no one knows who they are, and no one cares about their life and death, I am afraid that only "leisureists" like Song Lan will notice the life trajectory of the anonymous people around them.
"So you can trust me that fishing is the best way to deal with this ever-changing world."
This is the conclusion he came to after countless observations.
As long as you don't pay attention to the changes around you and advocate a peaceful life like a plant, you can keep your heart calm - this is the secret of happiness and longevity that Song Lan summed up, and has been fulfilling this theory for several years.
He didn't bother to tell anyone else the truth he had discovered, and changing a person's mind was one of the most difficult things in the world, and it would only lead to unnecessary disputes.
"But if fate regains control of this world, your good days of fishing will come to an end, right?"
The collapse of the upper world has proved that even if Song Lan just lies in the garden and doesn't want to find trouble with anyone, trouble will eventually find him, and after that, the organization led by RT1 will still "defeat Song Lan" as the direction of efforts.
It is foreseeable that sooner or later, the same situation will be repeated in the coalition government.
If the price this time ends with the destruction of the coalition government, then Song Lan will have nowhere else to go.
This confirms that classic line.
In order to prevent the destruction of the world, and to protect the peace of the world, even the lazy as a stupid bird had to take action.
"If I have to choose, I think the profession of the brave is very good."
Song Lan looked up at the sky that was gradually fading.
"The brave? As far as I know, the brave are very tired. ”
Lu Xiang has also seen some works with the theme of the demon king and the brave, and after watching the complete works of "SpongeBob SquarePants", she also has a lot of things that can be used to pass the time, "In order to defeat the demon king and his minions, the brave must carry out unbearable cultivation after embarking on the journey, and not only that, but they will also suffer more sadness than others during the journey." ”
"For example?"
"For example, in order to lure out a new strong enemy, his companions were seriously injured, his childhood sweetheart was taken away by an evil enemy, and his admired master was ambushed, and he desperately brought back information about the enemy."
At least the warrior life she knew was not for Song Lan, and the nerdy bird had a terrible resistance to grief, which may be the reason why it would invisibly transform everyone it met into a funny character.
Perhaps only in those works where comedy is the core, you don't have to go through those sad experiences, and you don't have to be coldly stabbed by the screenwriter or author.
"No, these are not the experiences that the brave must have, we just need to grasp the core of the identity of the brave."
"Core?"
"That's the goal of defeating the Demon King."
The mission of the brave is to defeat the ultimate villain, and as long as this goal is achieved, even if the brave man usually commits the act of running into the villager's house and rummaging through the cabinets, he can be forgiven.
And in comparison, his behavior was much better than burglary, he was nothing more than a shameful salary thief, and he never committed the exploitation of the poor masses.
It's a simple errand.
It's much easier than reviving the economy, fighting crime, and increasing employment.
"To put it more simply, I don't need to know who I am, I don't need to know where this is, I just know that I'm going to beat the demon king down."
It's a good deal.
Judging from the current situation, the cycle of "fate" recovery is more than twenty years, which means that he only needs to beat the other party down once, and he can live peacefully for twenty years.
"But why do I always think you're more like the Great Demon King?"
Lu Xiang will be skeptical.
In order to realize the ideal of "defeating Song Lan", he hid in the shadows, worked hard for more than 20 years, trying to understand Song Lan's ability little by little, and completed the breakthrough step by step......
This process is more like the experience of a brave man.
The Demon King, on the other hand, only needs to stay comfortably in the castle and wait for the well-prepared brave to come to the door to challenge him.
"You're a clear stereotype." Song Lan corrected, "How do you know that I don't practice? ”
"But you've said more than once before that you never practice."
Not to mention the arduous cultivation, she usually asked Song Lan to go downstairs to run with her, as if she wanted his life, she really couldn't imagine Song Lan practicing desperately in order to defeat someone.
If you think about it, his powerful way is completely in line with the definition of a great demon king in the work.
There is no need for foreshadowing and cultivation, as the plot develops, it will automatically show that power that is desperately powerful, and no one will ever question why the demon king is so powerful.
Every time it was necessary, Song Lan would skip the stage of cultivation and suddenly have an incredible new skill.
Even Lu Xiang, who has been getting along with Song Lan day and night and is almost about to complete "Diary of Dumb Bird Observation", can't explain the reason why Song Lan is strong.
She can guarantee that Song Lan is definitely not the kind of top student who says that he doesn't study, but in fact, he studies harder than anyone else when he returns home, and when he says he wants to sleep, he will really go to sleep.
Let's say he's really the Great Demon King......
Then the brave man doesn't have to worry about the demon king secretly practicing day and night behind his back.
"That's what I said, but maybe I don't know when I practiced, but I just can't remember it all of a sudden."
"When?"
"Dreams, dreams."
Song Lan stammered a little, "I'm good at practicing in my dreams, can't I?" ”
"Yes, of course."
"So, how are you going to defeat 'Fate' again? This time, he knows what you're capable of, and he's prepared. ”
"First of all, as I told Qi He before, one of the necessary conditions for defeating 'fate' is to deceive its eyes."
"Huh?"
"For example, make it believe that as long as it can adapt to the erosion of time, it can completely crack my abilities."
It's getting dark.
Soon, the car in which Qi Yun and the other patients were riding was about to depart.
"RT1 is its eyes."
The small theater of its three hundred and forty-four:
Sunday, evening, month, year, month, Sunday
"How did you know that Chloe Pictures was going to make a film with elements of makeovers and loli?"
When Song Lan told Guan Lili her thoughts, she got an unexpected reply.
Holding the burger and Coke she bought from the store, she gushed endlessly, "This is definitely the most daring subject in recent years, exposing and criticizing the darkness of the corporate system and the adverse impact on the whole society, including the discussion of the unemployment rate, the crime rate, and the lives of the real people at the bottom, it is a rare work of conscience, and the director is also a young man with a lot of ideas, and I have been paying attention to the movements of the crew recently." ”
"Sounds good, you said there is an element of transforming people in it?"
"Secretly tell you that the crew has been authorized by military science and technology, and they promised to provide them with 'barren bones' as a reference."
"That seems to be a big-budget production."
Song Lan was also interested, he immediately thought of the theme of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", and believed that the combination of mechanical transformation uncle and Lori would become a new trend for a long time in the future.
"Of course, the company invested a lot of money this time."
"What about Lori? What is the love line like? ”
"Love line?"
Guan Lili showed a strange expression, "Lori is a supporting role, and there is no love line." ”
"Huh?"
"Well, and it seems to have been crushed to death by the Transhuman when he appeared."
