In fact, sometimes Lu Zhou also feels that he may be a little paranoid in some aspects.

Not all problems are right or wrong.

Rather, to think about which answer is the right one is to think about it is an act of carving a boat for a sword......

The evening banquet was held in the buffet restaurant of the Hotel Corinthia.

For this banquet, the hotel not only prepared extremely sumptuous food, but even changed the setting of the cafeteria to accommodate the maximum number of attendees, and also to leave enough space for the mathematicians who had been staying at home for four years to socialize.

The protagonists of the whole banquet were undoubtedly the four Fields Medal winners.

As rising stars in the world of mathematics, they are like magnets, almost without any representation, as long as they stand in the banquet hall, they will naturally gather the eyes of the surrounding people.

However, as one of the most talked-about winners, Miss Vera Puuyi was not present, which made many people feel lost.

However, although he was a little concerned about Vera's situation, Lu Zhou was not in a hurry.

After all, tomorrow morning is her report meeting, and it will be too late to talk about anything at that time.

In contrast, it was the ball that was lying in his system space inventory at the moment that exuded a purple ominous aura that made Lu Zhou feel more concerned.

Void memories?

What the hell is that?

Lu Zhou was a little absent-minded throughout the banquet, so much so that when he went to the long table next to him to get red wine, he almost bumped into an old friend while thinking about it......

"Beware, my friend, there's a lot of people here, and I don't want to be drenched in red wine."

"I'm sorry."

"Don't be sorry, the tragedy didn't happen, did it?" Professor Feverman smiled, lifted the wine glass in his hand, touched it with Lu Zhou, who was full of apologies, took a sip and continued, "I feel that you are a little absent-minded. ”

Taking a sip of red wine, Lu Zhou glanced at him unexpectedly.

"Is there one?"

"Of course, even now, when you look at me, I can clearly feel that your pupils are not fully focused on the bridge of my nose," said in a humorous and relaxed tone, Professor Feverman looked at Lu Zhou and smiled and threw out a question, "Is it because your little apprentice didn't come?" ”

Lu Zhou: "...... No. ”

He admits that he may indeed be a little distracted because of what is going on in his head, but definitely not because of Vera. There is nothing to worry about about knowing the outcome of tomorrow, and it may be a little annoying to him at most about how to answer it......

Well, he admits, maybe there is a one-hundredth-percent reason.

But of all the factors that distracted him, it was definitely only a tiny, very small part.

Just when Lu Zhou thought that this old guy who likes to ask around gossip would definitely make an expression of disbelief and continue to ask, he didn't expect that he didn't ask, but just said intriguingly, "Yes?" And then brought the topic over.

After chatting for a while about the research of Riemann's zeta function, and chatting for a while about the proposition that had troubled both the mathematical community and Lu Zhou for a long time, Professor Feverman suddenly stopped Lu Zhou, who was about to leave.

"Wait a minute."

Stopping, Lu Zhou turned around and cast an inquiring gaze.

"What's wrong?"

Professor Feverman smiled slightly, raised his glass, and said.

"Congratulations, there's another laurel crown in the collection."

Lu Zhou: "Thank you. ”

"Also, a word of advice beyond mathematics," Professor Feverman reached out and patted him on the shoulder, a kind smile on his face, "no matter what choice you make, remember not to leave yourself with regrets." ”

"Life is only once for anyone, whether it is an old guy or a young guy, there are not many opportunities for us to worry."

"And the closer you get to the end of life, the more you will find the fairness of time, because it is always irreversible."

……

The banquet came to an end.

Although he and his friends only had a few drinks, because there were too many friends, in the end, he walked around the venue, even if it was the metabolic ability that had been strengthened by the system, Lu Zhou was slightly drunk.

But compared to the others, he is quite good.

Not far away, Krugman and Albert were drunk, staggering in the hallway, and finally were invited by the waiter to lie down in the lounge.

Many people nearby looked at these two people with black lines, and Lu Zhou also looked strange, I don't know how these two economists and physicists got in.

After going to the bathroom to wash his face, Lu Zhou felt a little sober, and then took the elevator back upstairs.

Walking to the door of his room and stopping, Lu Zhou looked back at Wang Peng and said in a serious tone.

"If there's nothing particularly important, don't bother me."

"Okay."

Lu Zhou nodded, and was about to close the door, when he suddenly thought of something, so he pushed the door open again, and pulled Wang Peng, who was just about to leave, to continue to admonish.

"Correction, even if there is something particularly important, remember to call me first."

Wang Peng: "...... Good. ”

"Finally, if you hear something special, don't worry about me, I'm fine."

Probably misunderstood Lu Zhou's intentions, Wang Peng coughed lightly and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely not hinder your private life, but it is better to say ...... If you don't have it at all, it's even more worrying. ”

Lu Zhou: "......?" ”

returned to the house and closed the door, walked to Lu Zhou, who was lying flat next to the bed, and told Xiao Ai to help him pay attention to the movement outside the door, and then sank his consciousness into the system space.

Standing in a pure white system space, Lu Zhou walked to the holographic screen in the center of the space, stretched out his index finger and swiped on the screen to open the inventory.

It was no different from what he had seen in the hall during the day, the ominous purple orb lying quietly in his inventory.

The smoky tentacles around the body were tentative like the tentacles of insects.

"If my guess is correct...... This thing is not supposed to be something that can be brought to the real world, but should be used in the system space. ”

Staring at the purple sphere that exuded an ominous aura, Lu Zhou muttered softly to himself as if he was talking to himself.

Suddenly, he reached out his index finger and lightly touched the surface of the sphere.

This time, it was different from when I was in the hall of the venue during the day.

The touch of climbing on his fingertips was not like an electric shock, but like an index finger poking into a sponge soaked in hot water, making him feel an indescribable warmth.

A sudden expression appeared on his face, and Lu Zhou withdrew his right hand pressed on the inventory as if he understood something.

"Not only the pain, but also the feeling of temperature can be clearly felt......

"Sure enough, this thing should only exist as a prop in the consciousness body."

"And for some special reasons, the message can only be read in a very quiet, at least uninterrupted environment."

"Or something like a protection mechanism will be triggered?"

Thinking like this, Lu Zhou very much wanted to go out and set an alarm to verify his conjecture.

But when he thought about it, it didn't seem necessary.

After all, the key to revealing the truth is in front of him, and to know what exactly is in this box, he just needs to open it.

“…… Come on, let me see what secrets you hold inside. ”

With a hint of excitement and curiosity in his voice talking to himself, Lu Zhou stretched out his right hand again and tightly grasped the purple sphere floating in the inventory.

The warm and soft touch came from the palm of his hand, and soon spread throughout his body, crawling all over his consciousness that existed in the system space.

At the moment when Lu Zhou tried to take this thing out of the inventory, something unexpected happened.

The tentacles wrapped around the purple orb suddenly swelled and swelled from between his fingers.

Lu Zhou, who secretly said bad in his heart, realized that he might have gotten rid of it, was about to let go, but saw that the surging tentacles were like twisted vines, rushing up along his arm, and soon engulfed his entire consciousness body in a dark as thick as gel......
