99. The secret of the Arctic wolf
Nocturne and Vermouth were stunned at the same time.
Could it be that the student in front of him is telling the truth?
They had all heard the legend of the Arctic Wolf, the boss of the White Wolf Club, and knew that this famous figure was a fourth-year student who symbolized the supreme glory of the academy, and belonged to the strongest group of spellcasters in the entire academy, including the professors.
This kind of character, how can it be so easy to defeat and catch them.
"The honest candle you bought has expired?" Nocturne asked.
"It's possible," Vermouth was also at a loss, and put forward his own idea, "Why don't we try it." ”
"I'm the Monkey King." Vermouth faced the pure white candle and tried a lie.
On the pure white candle, the flickering blue candle flame was suddenly extinguished.
Vermouth rekindled the candle of honesty and looked at Nocturne.
“1+1=3。” Nocturne tried a lie.
The blue candlelight went out again.
Looks like there is nothing wrong with the honest candle? Vermouth thought as she lit the candle again.
"P=NP problem, it will be proven by humans in 20 years."
Russell, who came out from behind, tried a sentence that I don't know if it was a lie or the truth.
On the pure white candle, the blue candle flame flickered on and off, swaying wildly, and it seemed that it was impossible to decide whether it should be extinguished or continue to burn.
After struggling like this for a while, the candle flame finally made up its mind and chose to extinguish it.
Nocturne and Vermouth set their sights on Russell behind them.
Russell was also polite—everyone is a member of the Wonton Club, so what's polite—asked:
"What does it mean that this candle is extinguished? Illustrating that the N=NP problem will not be proven by humans in 20 years? Or is it that I am not sure of this future myself, but I say it as a statement of certainty, which is essentially a lie. ”
Without waiting for Vermetic to understand the logical relationship, Russell explained in detail:
"I didn't quite understand the principle of an honest candle, so I gave it a try. When it identifies lies, is it directed at objective facts or subjective perceptions?
"If it is aimed at objective facts, then we will achieve omniscience by asking an infinite number of general questions, and if there really is a store that sells such a good thing of conscience, it is better to take me to know it; If it is the subjective perception of the liar, how does it determine that the assumption is a lie? ”
Vermouth probably understood.
He took out the candle instruction manual from the pocket of the black clothes, looked at it for a while, and finally found the relevant entry and read it:
"The benchmark by which an honest candle recognizes a lie is the subjective perception of the speaker. It is not the superficial consciousness, but the fundamental cognition in the subconscious. Because the conjectures and fantasies caused by dreams, hypnosis, and daily fantasies will also be inconsistent with the deep-rooted fundamental cognition, and will be judged to be false. ”
"Okay, I don't have a problem." Russell helped relight the candle and set his eyes on the misty arctic wolf.
"According to the above principle, if this guy who peeps at us has not been fundamentally reshaped in memory and cognition, then he may really be the boss of the White Wolf Club, the Arctic Wolf!"
Vermisi's face sank, and the lower half of Nocturne's face sank.
"Since I've joined the organization, I should be able to work in the organization! Next, let my little brother do it for me, and interrogate him. Russell put on a look of eagerness and excitement, and turned his head to look at the two superiors.
The two did not speak.
Vermouth bowed slightly, revealing an approving look.
Russell looked at Nocturne's eyes again, and found that both of her eyes were blocked by bangs, so he acquiesced in her eyes to make a compliment.
Russell leaned over to the Arctic wolf and asked in a low voice:
"Since you are a fourth-year Arctic wolf, why did you behave like that in the battle just now?"
The arctic wolf's eyes were confused, and his voice was fluttering:
"Because I'm so weak, my grades were faked, I got into the higher school by cheating, and then I got to the fourth grade by cheating.
"My real skills are similar to that of an ordinary sophomore, and I haven't had actual combat for too long, and I have forgotten a lot of actual combat experience.
"I don't usually dare to make a move, for fear that others will know my true skills. Only when you are like now, when you are disguised into something else, will you dare to make a move. ”
I see...... Russell remembers the husky's behavior in the abandoned tower, and indeed it looks like someone who hasn't been in combat for a while.
It's just that at that time, he didn't know that this guy was actually the Arctic Wolf, the boss of the White Wolf Club.
Russell turned his head and reported to the two superiors: "The arctic wolf has hidden its strength, and the real realm is the strength of the middle of the second year. ”
Nocturne and Vermouth looked at each other, not quite understanding what "mid-second grade strength" was, but they could vaguely understand what it meant from these words combination.
Afraid that others will know how weak they are, so they don't make easy moves, is it also a hidden strength? Nocturne always felt that this word was not quite right.
Russell then turned to the hypnotized Arctic wolf:
"Can you lift the disguise?"
The Arctic Wolf nodded slightly, and wiped his hands vigorously on his face.
Because he was in a state of hypnosis, he tried several times before he succeeded in mobilizing his spiritual energy and lifting the spell of "change to appearance".
The husky's approachable face vanished, revealing the Arctic wolf's resolute, cold, arrogant, evil, and fearsome face.
Seeing this face, which had appeared more than once in the academy's newspapers and official website, Nocturne and Vermouth were probably convinced that the guy in front of them was indeed the Arctic Wolf himself, and they became more and more aware that they knew a great secret.
Russell continued to interrogate:
"Do your younger brothers, and the rest of the White Wolf Club, know that you are so weak?"
The arctic wolf's eyes were blank and he slowly shook his head: "I don't know, my brother doesn't know either." ”
Russell's mind suddenly appeared a hundred ways to use this secret as a handle to blackmail the Arctic wolf.
Hehehe, you don't want your brother to know, you have a false name.
Russell went on to question a detail of the Arctic wolf's discourse:
"How did you do it, cheating on the assessment for promotion to the third and fourth grades? When you were studying in the Higher Education Institute, didn't any teacher find out that you were not worthy? Cheating in college exams is not easy. ”
The Arctic Wolf suddenly laughed:
"Someone helped me, a legendary, great being.
"I was originally the biggest mediocre talent in the family, and I couldn't even awaken spiritually and embark on the path of transcendence on my own.
"I'm a piece of shit, I was born into a wizarding family, but I have repeatedly failed in my family's spiritual awakening rituals. I was laughed at by my parents, and neither of them wanted to say that I was their son.
"And my younger brother Shiro, who is many years younger than me, is obviously more talented than me, and I believe that he is destined to become a powerful spellcaster in the third grade in the future!"
The arctic wolf laughed as if he was laughing at himself, shaking his head in a hypnotic state, but there were a few glitters in his godless eyes.
