Chapter 42: Discovered
ββ¦β¦β
Chen Fan's room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Gao Yuan's face turned red: "You, what did you say?!" β
"Didn't you say that there are no books in the library that record the history of Varela before the first year?"
"You lied to me?!"
Looking at Gao Yuan's unbelievable eyes, Chen Fan raised his hand to support his forehead and gently rubbed his temples that were a little painful: "That thing is not a history book at all!" β
"And that message wasn't written in the book in a big way."
Gao Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Huh? β
"I don't know how to explain it to you." Chen Fan shook his head helplessly, "Anyway, that sentence was recorded in the mezzanine of the page, and the church didn't find anything unusual about this book before. β
"That's why the book exists in the library."
"Do you understand?"
Gao Yuan nodded, and quickly shook his head again.
A clear stupidity flashed in his bloodshot eyes because of staying up late.
Just like the college students Chen Fan had seen in his previous life.
In just a dozen hours, he received too much information.
The brain, already damaged by the smell of the library, became more and more sluggish at this moment.
Just like a backward computer that is forcibly running a certain score-running software, not crashing on the spot is already considered to be extraordinary.
Gao Yuan raised his hand and scratched the back of his head vigorously: "That...... What's in that book? β
"It was a time of human prosperity, but alas, prosperity is no more."
"Huh?"
"That's all there is to it."
Chen Fan waved his hand angrily: "Otherwise, why would I ask you about the first year of Varela?" β
Gao Yuan nodded thoughtfully, and then a deep horror flashed across his face.
"I see!"
"No wonder the Archbishop said something like that!!"
Chen Fan only felt a chuckle in his heart.
"Archbishop?!"
It's so decent, why is it involved with the archbishop?!
Things seemed to have turned out a little more than he had anticipated.
"Yes." Gao Yuan's face was solemn, "When it was almost dawn, the archbishop suddenly entered the library. β
"He asked me some questions, mostly related to the books I read in the afternoon."
"And ask me why I read a history book like the Chronicle of Varela."
Chen Fan only felt a buzzing in his brain.
Finished.
With such an obvious question, the other party must have discovered something!
"You ......"
Chen Fan swallowed his saliva: "You didn't talk nonsense, did you?" β
"Of course not!"
"There were so many strange things that happened last night, I'm sure I won't talk nonsense!"
"I told the archbishop that I just wanted to brush up on the history of the Church."
Looking at Chen Fan's frowning appearance, Gao Yuan added again: "Don't worry, I didn't mention you." β
Hearing this, Chen Fan breathed a long sigh of relief.
How else to say that Gao Yuan is a good brother with a knife in both ribs!
Something, he's really going up!
"And then?"
"What else did the archbishop say?"
Gao Yuan recalled carefully: "He said ......"
"The Church has found some errors in the Varela Chronicle and other books, which have now been taken and revised."
"The archbishop also told me to leave the main church as soon as possible."
Gao Yuan's face turned slightly pale: "Chen Fan, did you say that the archbishop has already discovered the problem with that book?" β
Do you still need to ask?
The answer is already obvious.
The Church must have discovered an anomaly in the Principles of Simple Mechanics.
Chen Fan nodded silently.
Gao Yuan's face became more and more ugly: "That...... What did the Archbishop Church do with that book? β
"Most likely, it's the destruction of the classics."
Chen Fan replied without hesitation: "If I guess correctly, any book that records the history of the prosperous era will be destroyed by the church. β
"Why, how can it be ...... like this?"
It's hard for Takato to accept the fact that "the church, how can the church do such a thing?" β
"This, this is deception!"
"Lord...... No, the church ......"
Perhaps because this information stimulated him too much, Gao Yuan's words began to become incoherent.
β¦β¦
The course of events is already clear.
After Chen Fan and Gao Yuan left the library, the clergy of the church collected all the books they had read and conducted a second inspection.
For the church, this may be a routine operation to ensure that knowledge is not leaked.
But it was this routine operation that exposed the "Simple Mechanical Principle" that should have been buried in the corner of the library!
After discovering the recorded information about the prosperous era in the mezzanine of the pages, the clergy of the church realized the problem.
At the same time, in order to ensure that the information was not leaked, the archbishop somehow erased part of the memories of the priests who guarded the library.
The above is probably the truth of the strange incident that Gao Yuan encountered last night.
After briefly combing through the currently known information in his mind, Chen Fan's heart suddenly sank: I'm afraid, the archbishop's eyes have been on him at this moment!
There was a large number of surveillance equipment disguised as statues of goddesses in the library, and the archbishop could clearly see the whole process of taking the book out of the shelf.
As for Gao Yuan......
After last night's questioning, he should have been whitewashed.
If the other party is a little sharper, he can even lock him directly from Gao Yuan's words - under normal circumstances, Gao Yuan would definitely not go to the library in the middle of the night to rummage through the classics, unless someone told him something!
What are you going to do next? γ
Ichi, who is well aware of the seriousness of the situation, also becomes serious: [This machine suggests that you find an opportunity to escape from Varela City in advance. γ
Escape?
Easier said than done!
Not to mention the large number of clergy and devotees, the statues of the goddesses and gods scattered all over the house alone were enough for him to drink a pot!
Let's not talk about that. β
'It's been two days, have you detected the signal from that research ship?' β
Chen Fan asked Yi in his heart.
If he can find the Dangerous Science and Technology Administration's lost research ship before the Divine Descent Ceremony or the Divine Election Ceremony, he can use the signal enhancement device on it to get in touch with the Dangerous Technology Administration.
In this way, he also has a chance to liveβhe doesn't believe that a mere electronic god who pretends to be a god can still do a ninth-level civilization with a territory spanning countless universes!
Two days ago, One began to search for the so-called black box signal with all its might, but ......
[The black box signal of the TE913 research ship has not been detected, and the coordinates of the research ship cannot be located at present.] γ
Again, the answer is exactly the same as before.
Looking at the red warning sign that appeared in the holographic projection in front of him, Chen Fan shook his head helplessly.
He took a deep breath and regained his spirits: 'I can't run away yet. β
Running away now is tantamount to blowing up your identity. β
It's not the worst yet! β
In order to avoid being observed by surveillance equipment, and to "protect the artifact", he did not open the mezzanine of the last page of the book at that time.
In other words, the church at this time should not have accurate evidence that he, the chosen one, had a different heart.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan's eyes flickered slightly.
He still has a chance to operate!
