[Task (Part 3): You decide to select twelve children according to the prompts and have a separate communication with them. They will adhere to your will, accept your gifts, and become your twelve apostles]
…
Cheng Lin chose a total of three labels when he started the deduction.
They are:
"Religion", "Apostle", "Myth".
From the first clipping of the Unknown Book, it can be speculated that there will be a great flood twenty years later. This prophecy comes from the code hidden in Leonardo da Vinci's painting.
The so-called "Da Vinci Code".
In a sense, that newspaper clipping alone can be regarded as meeting the elements of those three labels.
However, Cheng Lin now discovered that everything was not that simple.
It seems that the labels you choose will indeed be a very important element in this deduction.
Just like now.
The third mission seemed to be a puzzle, and finally revealed some clues to the deduction.
"Should I choose twelve children to be my apostles?"
Cheng Lin thought secretly.
There are many points that can be analyzed in this information.
"The Nameless Book is inspired by The Last Supper, and the Great Flood comes from biblical stories, plus the mythical tag I added.
We can boldly analyze that this plot may be related to the myth of Jesus."
“Jesus’ identity is that of a missionary,
The identity I chose is also a missionary. Is this a coincidence?
Obviously not, the twelve apostles will follow the Lord and preach in the world,
Could it be said,
Are you going to start recruiting younger brothers?"
Cheng Lin speculated.
While he was thinking, the dean had already stood up and invited him out: "This is simple, is it arranged by us, or..."
Cheng Lin quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I will choose myself."
"Okay, Xiao Yuan, take this...Mr. Lei to the playground."
The dean called the round-faced girl over and gave instructions.
When Cheng Lin followed her and left, the dean took off his glasses with some confusion, wiped them carefully with the glasses cloth, and shook his head:
"What a weird young man...he looks so young...well? By the way, what does he look like?"
The dean recalled it carefully, but was shocked to find that they had just been chatting for a long time.
Now, in just a blink of an eye, I can't even remember the young man's appearance, I only remember his strange white clothes.
"Oh, I am really old, my memory is no longer good..."
…
…
Xiao Yuan led Cheng Lin along the corridor.
She secretly squinted her eyes at Cheng Lin, regarding this young man in strange clothes.
She was very curious.
And not just because of his sudden donation.
It's more because of the strange good feeling in my heart.
It's not the kind of good feeling between men and women, but another kind of feeling that is very gentle, very kind, and very relaxing.
It was as if, even though it was the first time they met, they were like relatives and friends, and they naturally felt close to each other.
He was dressed in white, and his body seemed to be covered with warm sunshine.
While I was peeking, I suddenly saw Cheng Lin looking over with a smile and said, "We're here."
"ah!"
Madoka finally came back to her senses and blushed a little.
On the playground.
A group of children are still chasing and fighting.
They were not afraid of Cheng Lin, a stranger, which surprised Xiao Yuan.
"Which ones do you want to choose? Do you want me to recommend a few to you?"
Xiao Yuan blinked her big eyes and said.
She was still quite afraid that Cheng Lin would pick out those unlovable children. It would be bad if she got upset and said she didn't want to donate.
Cheng Lin smiled gently and said softly: "No, I'm a very discerning person."
Say so.
But in fact, in his field of vision at this moment, among the group of children, twelve of them had extremely obvious arrow lights and shadows on their heads.
This is obviously the program's prompt.
Cheng Lin was not in a hurry, but opened his hazy eyes.
Sure enough, in the deduction, although he couldn't practice, he could still use his powers.
"I just don't know if the consumed spiritual energy can be replenished."
Cheng Lin thought and looked at those people with hazy eyes.
It is a pity to find that none of the children here are shining or awakened.
Neither did the twelve apostles.
"He, he, he..."
Cheng Lin closed his hazy eyes with some disappointment and casually clicked on the twelve people.
What made him very dissatisfied was that all twelve of them were boys.
"What's the point of a bunch of rough guys following me?"
…
Ten minutes later.
In an office in the orphanage.
Cheng Lin sat leisurely on the chair.
In front of him, twelve boys stood in a row, looking at him with big curious eyes.
Apart from that, there is no one else in the office.
Cheng Lin said nothing.
The boys didn't dare to move.
They are about the same age, they look about seven or eight years old.
They are already sensible at this age. Perhaps because of their origin as orphans, they are more mature than their actual age, but it is also very limited.
They are a bunch of kids after all.
"Well, I won't ask your names."
Just when the boys were already feeling awkward due to the silence, Cheng Lin finally spoke.
He leaned on the armchair and spoke slowly.
"Do you know who I am?" he asked.
A boy on the left who was calm and collected at a young age said: "Aunt Xiao Yuan asked us to call you Mr. Lei."
"Ahem, this title is wrong. My surname is not Lei." Cheng Lin said awkwardly.
"Then what's your last name?"
asked a very quiet and good-looking boy.
"It's not important. You don't need to know who I am, or at least you don't need to know it now."
Cheng Lin regained his composure and said.
In those few minutes, he was actually reading the information provided by the program in his mind.
That is to say, the specific content of the dialogue between him and the twelve apostles is needed.
The content is very long.
There are also some strange things mixed in.
Cheng Lin spent a few minutes reading and a few minutes thinking before sorting out the ideas for the conversation.
Seeing the boys looking at him with wide eyes in confusion, Cheng Lin coughed lightly, stood up, and looked down at them, pretending to be mysterious.
Youyou said:
"Maybe you don't understand what I'm going to say next,
Or there may be some errors in your understanding,
But all this is not important,
You don’t need to know my identity now,
The reason why I came here,
Select twelve of you from among the crowd.
Of course I have my reasons."
"What's the point?"
A tall boy raised his hand and asked.
Cheng Lin suddenly turned around.
The window behind him was letting in the midday sun, which shone even brighter on his white robe, making Cheng Lin's face blurry in the dazzling light and shadow.
