Chapter 421: An Experiment to Destroy Human Nature (Part 1)
"If this is the case, then they must be hiding something, and this kind of thing is not only not allowed to be known to me, but also intolerable to the outside world."
Jiang Qinian was talking to himself and looking for something in the house.
"If it were me, where would I hide this secret?
In the cupboard, in the drawer, under the bed, or... on the bookshelf?
Anyway, I think a bookshelf is the most likely possibility.
Those two people are thoughtful, so there is a high probability that they will be hidden somewhere on the bookshelf, because there are many books here, and it would take too long to check them one by one.
But the question is...where will they hide?"
Looking at the densely packed books on the bookshelf, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but feel a little headache.
The "parents" may check the monitoring or return home at any time. He doesn't know what time the other person will come home, so there is not much time left for him.
He must find out the secret within a limited time, which is related to whether he can have a place to rest and recuperate in the future.
On his way back just now, he met many residents of the community.
They were walking quickly in the fog. Although they looked very scary, Jiang Qinian unexpectedly discovered that they did not attack each other and were very harmonious with each other.
In this way, he got a very important news.
That is, as the same kind, they will not attack each other!
Looking at it from another perspective, this community is like a small world with so-called order and rules, and he, a living talent, should be regarded as an outlier who accidentally fell into it.
So his idea is to find the secret that his "parents" use to protect him, and then successfully play his role.
In this case, with a reasonable identity blessing, his security in the community will definitely be improved a lot.
At the same time, he can also use this identity to get to know other people and strengthen his own power.
At that time, if there is something terrifying that chases me and directly introduces it into the community, who can do anything to him?
Therefore this is the correct way to use shelter.
Many people will feel that there are many dangers here, their strength is suppressed, and countless nightmares are entrenched here, just like a devil's cave.
But in fact, as long as you make good use of the rules and characteristics of the community, it will become the safest place in the nightmare city.
The Nightmare City was originally only the size of Chun City, but after continuous devouring and evolution, no one can tell how big it really is now.
At first, I thought that Chun City had turned into the Nightmare City, but now it seems that it was the Nightmare City that swallowed up Chun City.
And although it is always believable, Nightmare City is not a so-called tower defense game. Always occupy one place and the nightmare will occupy another place.
The actual situation is that the nightmares controlled by the two are intertwined and complicated, and even different characters in the same nightmare are not in the same camp.
Therefore, it would be too risky to explore directly, and he didn't have any clues. He always had to have time to plan and act first.
Running around like a headless fly will only kill you faster.
"If they were hidden in books...where would they put them?
Judging from the relationship between the two, the woman should be in control, so this key thing... will she be kept?
Well, if that's her.
Then she...should be placed somewhere conspicuous."
This is his reverse speculation.
Because for people with search experience, they know well that the more inconspicuous a corner is, the easier it is to hide secrets, so that inconspicuous place has become a target of public criticism.
But if you look at the delicateness of a woman, dark under the light is often the most reliable.
"So...she probably hides things as high as she can reach."
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian quickly walked to the only leather chair in the bedroom.
This kind of chair has sponge inside, and a woman is relatively fat. If she often steps on the chair to reach the bookshelf, it will definitely leave marks on the sponge.
So he stretched out his hand and carefully felt the touch from the chair.
After groping for a while, he finally felt a pair of footprints on it.
After comparing the length and width, they were both very small, so it must have been left by a woman.
"really.
It seems that I guessed right. Except for the highest part of the bookshelf, which can only be reached by stepping on a chair, the height of a woman is not a problem in other places.
So the items are most likely hidden in the two highest rows of bookshelves."
Jiang Qinian checked very carefully and did not miss any place.
He always remembered what Lin Nanzhi said to him when he first joined the Meteorological Bureau.
"No matter how strong you are, you must remain in awe of unknown events.
No matter at any time, the use of force is a last resort. The so-called military strategy and the ability to solve unknown events without bloodshed are truly worthy of being praised.
The most taboo thing when facing the unknown is ignorance."
It turns out that there are no cases of demigods and even powerful men in the divine realm being damaged by low-level unknown events.
Therefore, these words have been remembered by Jiang Qinian until now.
Everyone is in the early stage of mortal life, and he is sure to annihilate each other in one-on-one or even one-on-two situations.
But even so, he still carefully investigated the clues and then controlled the situation to his advantage.
The most important thing about unknown events is the unknown.
You have no idea what unexpected or absolutely uncontrollable things will happen after the conflict breaks out.
He can really do one-on-two.
But what if it’s a pair of three? What about a pair of five?
Even...a pair of hundred???
No one knows whether those residents hiding in the dark will come forward to make things difficult after a conflict breaks out.
So Jiang Qinian didn't dare to gamble.
There may not be any benefit to him if he wins the bet.
If men and women are really killed, will this so-called shelter be of any use if they lose the protection of their aboriginal identity?
The fourth floor is the theoretical escape location.
But that's just in theory.
What if the window cannot be broken?
Even if it is broken, what is waiting for you next?
No one can guarantee this.
It's not that Jiang Qinian is looking forward and backward, but before anything is concluded, using force is the worst option.
The biggest difference between humans and beasts is that humans can think and can use tools.
Since there is a more perfect solution, there is no need to go out and fight for life or death.
So after Jiang Qinian made a rough guess in his mind, he reached out and put the chair back to its original place.
If he stepped on the chair, his "parents" would easily discover what he had done when they came back.
"Wind Dog, please help me take a look at the top two rows of bookshelves to see if there are any slight wear and tear on the corners.
Once you find it, don't take it out easily to avoid triggering something. Just point it out to me when the time comes."
Hearing this, the wind dog emerged from his body, then climbed up and searched carefully.
The reason why it is not necessary is because it only has one eye, so its field of vision will be limited to a certain extent, and because the wind dog is good at throwing, its hands need to be more flexible.
In this way, Feng Dog's quick search quickly found five books that met the requirements.
Four of them are related to psychology and one is related to medicine.
Under normal circumstances, the secret is probably hidden in the book related to medicine.
But Jiang Qinian didn't think so.
What he faced was not ordinary
They are not human beings, but a thoughtful ghost couple.
Anything that feels normal in the real world will become bizarre here and cannot be measured with common sense.
The pharmacy books are in the middle of the bookshelf, there are three psychology books on the left, and there is one psychology book on the right.
Normal people like to hide secrets in the deepest places, thinking that this is the safest and most secure way.
But this is not the case.
If his speculation is correct, then there is a high probability that the secret is hidden in one of these five books.
But if this is the case, it is not safe enough.
Because now that they have been screened out, it is only a matter of time to find the secret. Even if you find the wrong one at the beginning, if you try them one by one, one of them will always be the correct answer.
So... four of these five books are traps!
If you make the wrong choice rashly, something terrible may happen.
Once you lose the bet, you will be doomed!!
Thinking of this, Jiang Qinian couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then, he issued the order:
"Wind Dog, take out the second psychology book on the left."
As he spoke, a spiritual black needle appeared in his hand.
And if you look carefully, there is a faint golden light flickering on it.
The spirit of gold.
Once any changes occur, he will activate the ability to go back in time without hesitation!
Just like that, Feng Dog carefully placed his hand on the book, and then slowly pulled it outward.
Jiang Qinian's heart was already in his throat.
At this point, he didn't want any accidents to happen.
As the book was being taken out, the black needle in his hand was getting ready to go.
But luckily, luck was still on his side.
He made the right choice.
The woman hid her secret in the second book from the left.
It's dark under the lamp, so a maze is set up.
If he had hesitated at all, then things might not have gone well today.
At the same time, this also made Jiang Qinian even more vigilant.
A woman's mind is incredibly delicate.
Faced with this situation, people who are not good at solving puzzles are likely to focus on the innermost book.
But since they have found these five books, they must be good at this field, so many people may think that the most dangerous place is the safest, so they decide to take out the outermost books.
It can be said that the woman's skill in creating the puzzle was superb, she calculated every step, and finally placed the secret in the second book on the left.
In this way, the chance of even a missed hit is greatly reduced.
After seeing that he had successfully taken out the book, he quickly opened it and started reading.
But what made him feel incredible was that there seemed to be nothing in the book!
"What's going on? Wrong guess??"
He became a little suspicious.
But then, his eyes narrowed, and he seemed to have discovered something...
