Chapter 75: Basic Literacy of Investigators
"Captain, don't drive me away......" Tang Xiaotian said urgently: "I must study hard and improve my ......"
Luo Feng suddenly asked, "Xiaotian, what is your investigator number?" ”
Tang Xiaotian was stunned for a moment and replied: "My investigator number is: No. 23549. ”
"It's more than 20,000 now?" Luo Feng said with a look of remembrance: "Then do you know how many main god investigators are still active now?" ”
"I've heard from the teachers at the training center, and there are less than a thousand people."
"876 people." Luo Feng said: "The serial number has reached more than 20,000, and there are only more than 800 investigators who are still working, do you know where the rest of the people have gone?" ”
Tang Xiaotian's heart trembled and said, "It's all ...... All dead? ”
Luo Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that exaggerated, about half of them died on the post, and the remaining half either transferred to the logistics center or the combat committee, or washed away their memories and returned to the real world, a very few defected, betrayed the information of Free City to the main god and fled to a certain plot world to hide, enjoying the whole world given to him by the main god, in that world he is a god, just like Kara, the creator of this illusion space." ”
Tang Xiaotian felt a heavy heart, more than 20,000 main god investigators, and in the end, only about 4% of them continued to engage in investigation work, the elimination rate was simply alarmingly high, and the mortality rate was also alarmingly high.
"Therefore, even if you are forced to change jobs, or wash your memories and return to the real world, it is not an unacceptable tragedy."
Luo Feng said: "Even if you are the worst and the worst, you will be expelled from reality by washing your memory, and Free City will arrange for you to be the heir of a wealthy family and a huge inheritance in reality, so that you will be prosperous and rich in your life, and your happiness will be boundless." ”
"But...... But...... I really don't want to leave Liberty City."
Tang Xiaotian was a little tempted, but he was still reluctant to leave Liberty City, not to mention that the person who was going to expel her in front of her was also the reason why she had to stay.
"Do you know what the biggest difference between you and Klein, Io, and Zhang Daniu is?" Luo Feng asked.
Tang Xiaotian couldn't think of any essential difference between herself and those three guys, she had to answer, so she could only ask tentatively: "I'm a girl?" ”
Luo Feng shook his head and said, "I never distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the team members by gender. Since you can't answer it, I'll change the question. Why did you become a presiding investigator? ”
"It's not because of you!"
Tang Xiaotian really wanted to shout out to him directly, if it weren't for Luo Feng, who had saved her, how could she choose the most difficult alternate investigator when choosing a career destination?
But this reason was so embarrassing that she could only lie aggrievedly: "Because the Lord God Investigator is the most respected and best-paid profession in Liberty City......"
"That's the biggest difference between you and the three of them."
Luo Feng didn't doubt it, he was deceived by her, and continued: "In the face of my previous test for you, except for Zhang Daniu, who may make mistakes due to intellectual factors, Io and Klein will pass the test, see through the illusion, jump out of the illusion from the abyss, and look directly at the truth. ”
"Why is that?"
Tang Xiaotian asked puzzled.
"Because the reasons for those three people to become the investigators of the main god are similar to this sword spider lady, they do not want to live in the illusion world that the name 'fate' is actually woven for the 'main god', and they are willing to exchange everything for the 'truth'. Of course, this Sword Spider Lady may just be because she is not as good-looking as she is in the illusion world, and if she becomes a water fairy, she may want to stay in the illusion world even more. ”
Luo Feng said: "The more than 10,000 investigators of the main god who sacrificed have this kind of awareness, they are unswerving until death, they are unmoved by the temptation of the main god to give a big world, and they try their best to transmit the collected data back to the research institute before they die, even if it is just a meaningless and insignificant piece of information, they also think that their sacrifice is worth it." ”
Luo Feng said in a serious tone: "If you want to defeat the main god, you must first know the main god, you don't even know what you're fighting against, how can you defeat it?" The Lord God created and governed countless worlds, and it is made up of a vast amount of information, and the amount of information is almost infinite. No matter how powerful a person is, he can't collect such a vast and boundless sea of information, only by the joint efforts of tens of millions of people to piece together the collected information bit by bit, after countless years of accumulation, can barely glimpse the tip of the iceberg of the main god. Is the Lord God just a big ball of light that gives and takes? We don't know what it is. ”
"There was a fictional story in a science fiction novel about a mysterious being from the universe who announced to scientists all over the world that they would trade their lives for the ultimate mystery of the universe, and countless people died happily for it."
He pointed at Tang Xiaotian and then at himself, and said: "We are like the scientists in the story, in order to understand the mystery of the main god, and pass on this mystery to the researchers, we have gone forward and died, without regrets. ”
"If you don't have this kind of awareness, if you can't die happily in order to gather information, and if you are deluded by illusions, believing that illusory happiness is real, then you are not qualified to become an investigator of the main gods. Even if you don't die in the infinite world in the future, you will be bewitched by the Lord God, canonized in the dream world it weaves, and then betray Liberty City to help the Lord God destroy Liberty City, so that all intelligent life in the multiverse will live forever in the dream made up by the Lord God. ”
Tang Xiaotian thought about it carefully, Ai Ou completely mechanized himself, and he didn't even do it, Klein, as a native of the plot, should have had a happy ending in the original plot, and Zhang Daniu, as a traverser, was destined to be an extraordinary existence in the world he traversed.
They chose to become the main god investigators with a very high mortality rate, and they must have a great hatred for the "false truth", just like the sword spider in front of them, and they refuse to live in the false illusion world even if they die.
And what about her?
Tang Xiaotian was silent, his mood fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
In front of the sword spider, she said a lot of world origin secrets, but that sword spider didn't seem to have heard of it, she was a Feilun native who couldn't even understand the inferior illusion world, let alone a higher level of world cognition, in her ears, Luo Feng's conversation with Tang Xiaotian was just a meaningless murmur, and she couldn't understand a word.
After saying all this, Luo Feng didn't care how much Tang Xiaotian understood, and turned around and walked towards Alley.
"Your Highness the Elven Princess, we can go and save your Uncle Querry."
Alley blushed and whispered, "Mr. Bradero, please stop calling me an elven princess, I'm just an ugly lowly outcast bound to the earth, and your title makes me embarrassed and sad." ”
"I'm sorry......"
Luo Feng's face was full of pity: "But you are not right, you have a lot of attractions...... You are beautiful, both inside and outside. In my discerning eyes that can see through the void, you are a noble elven princess. ”
She couldn't believe it, and she was a little happy, and said in a coquettish voice: "You praise me too much, Bledrow! This must not be true! ”
Luo Feng stretched out his hand to help her smooth the strands of hair at the corners of her forehead, and said with a smile: "Of course what I said is true, Alley." ”
Alley held her hot cheeks in both hands, peeked at Luo Feng's handsome face, and said softly, "Oh...... I get it...... Thank you...... Mr. Bledreau. Well... Do you think I'm beautiful? I mean...... Do you really feel that way? ”
"Yes, Alley." Luo Feng swore an oath: "I would like to swear to Safras, the god of prophecy that I believe in, that every word I say is sincere. ”
The elf girl's eyes when she looked at Luo Feng changed, there was tenderness in her eyes, but she tried her best to hide it.
In the Faren Continent, the oath of calling the god by name is a very solemn oath, and if there is a lie, it will anger the gods.
One of Safras' priesthoods is to "seek the truth," and this god and his followers never lie.
She couldn't help but believe the words of the handsome black-haired young man in front of her.
Tang Xiaotian, who had just been trained and was depressed, didn't expect Luo Feng to turn his head and tease Alley with a mouthful of firewood, and scolded hatefully in his heart: You really dare to say it, a guy who doesn't have a word of truth in his mouth, still believes in the god of prophecy? The god of prophecy, his old man is really angry, why don't you kill a sinister beast with a thunderbolt and clean up the portal!
Seeing Luo Feng flirting with her sister with ease, Tang Xiaotian felt a sense of despair, and she began to consider whether to simply accept the fate of being banished from Free City after the mission and return to the real world to enjoy a lifetime of false happiness.
