Amidst the familiar buzzing sound, the countdown ended.
This heralds the start of the deduction.
Cheng Lin did not look out the window for the first time.
Instead, he stared quietly at a book that suddenly appeared on the table.
Yes, just after the white light that filled the room dissipated.
A book appeared on his desk.
"Remember...it was the painting that was placed here before."
After class, Cheng Lin brought back the copy of "The Last Supper" that Luo Peini had given to the students.
Roll it up and put it on the table.
And now, that painting has disappeared.
Instead there is a book.
[The countdown is over, you are surprised to find a strange book on the table, you walk over and examine it]
Familiar information comes to mind.
Cheng Lin hesitated.
He walked over and looked down at the book.
The book is very thick.
About as thick as a brick.
Hardcover, the outer cover is a jet black hard case.
The edges are outlined by straight silver lines.
There are also fine vine-like patterns attached to it.
This cover is beautiful.
But the most crucial thing is that the book has a large blank space and no name.
[You observe carefully for a long time and find that this book has no name. You try to open the cover and see the first page]
Cheng Lin reached out and slowly opened the cover of the book.
He turned the pages slowly, as if he were scratching off a lottery ticket.
"newspaper?"
Cheng Lin was a little surprised.
He didn't expect that the first page of the book turned out to be a newspaper.
No.
To be precise, it's a newspaper clipping.
It is to cut out a certain piece of news from a certain page of the newspaper and paste it on the page of the book.
[You find a newspaper clipping and start reading it]
Cheng Lin frowned and began to read the newspaper.
Because it is a newspaper clipping, there is no specific information about the newspaper.
Cheng Lin couldn't tell which newspaper company this newspaper belonged to.
But there is a time message underneath this news.
July 28.
The year is this year.
The date is tomorrow.
"Tomorrow's news?"
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows.
The title of the article is "Da Vinci's famous painting predicts that mankind will face a doomsday flood in 20 years!" (Note)
Cheng Lin raised his eyebrows again.
da Vinci?
Famous paintings?
Cheng Lin's nerves were touched.
He read quickly.
"Some people say that Leonardo da Vinci was a prophet like Nostradamus. His works successfully predicted many kinds of future. In his notebooks, there are many mysterious words..."
"Some mysterious prophecies seem to be hidden in some of Leonardo da Vinci's paintings. For example, his famous painting "The Last Supper" predicted that the end of the world would be on November 1st 20 years later. Da Vinci
Qi believes that at this time, thousands of years of human civilization will be destroyed."
"Vatican researcher Sabina Sforza Garitezia disclosed to the outside world that they discovered the "Leonardo Da Vinci Prophecy" hidden in "The Last Supper": Humanity will be destroyed in 20 years.
A global flood. Garitezia did in-depth research on Leonardo da Vinci's manuscripts when she was working at the University of Los Angeles. She pointed out that this prophecy is hidden in the window behind Jesus in "The Last Supper".
"
"Garitezia said that there is a mystery about "mathematics and astrology" hidden in the bright half-moon window, which is designed with the 12 zodiac signs and the 24 Latin letters representing the 24 hours of the day."
"As long as this mystery is solved, Leonardo da Vinci's doomsday prophecy can be solved. She also clearly pointed out that the global flood predicted in "The Last Supper" will occur on March 21, 20 years later, and on November 1 of the same year.
On that day, mankind will encounter the "last supper", that is, the end of the world!"
…
The article is very long.
Cheng Lin looked at it very carefully.
Read it word for word, sentence by sentence, one by one.
"interesting."
He raised his head and saw a strange light in his eyes.
If this news tabloid was seen in reality, Cheng Lin would definitely sneer at it.
There are countless similar articles.
For example, the wave of doomsday public opinion carnival in 2012 left a deep impression on Cheng Lin's memory.
However, now he dare not not believe it.
Because this is not in reality, but in deduction.
More importantly, it appeared so clearly on his desk, in this nameless book.
"It seems it must be true."
"Is there a big flood in 20 years? I don't know how it will unfold this time."
Cheng Lin thought leisurely.
He tried to continue flipping through the book.
But found it couldn't be done.
It was obviously very thick, but except for this first page, he could not open the rest of the pages.
"It's probably because the time has not yet come."
Cheng Lin made a judgment.
Not at all concerned.
Just looked up and looked out the window.
Then I discovered that the scene outside had already changed.
It is no longer a cold and rainy evening on campus.
But it's a sunny day.
It might be morning or noon.
The window seemed to be facing a busy street, and cars were slowly driving past the window.
A little further away are tall buildings.
Obviously, he no longer knew when he was in a strange city.
[You find that the scenery outside the window is very unfamiliar. You wonder in your mind whether this is twenty years later. However, after a while, you realize that the time has not changed. It is still July 28th this year, but the location is no longer the college.
, but the magic city]
"Magic City?"
Cheng Lin was slightly surprised.
As the shining pearl of the entire Xia Kingdom.
A super city second only to the capital, the name of Magic City is naturally astonishing.
Its economic status, political status and many other aspects are extremely amazing.
In the "Escape from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen" that was popular on the Internet in the past few years, Shanghai Magic City ranked second, which shows its status and strength.
On the part of practitioners.
The second special incident handling department is stationed here, second only to the first department directly under the capital.
In comparison, I don't know how high Bijiu Si's status is.
Moreover, this is also the location of the largest practice research institution in the entire Xia Kingdom.
Whether it is the practical application or theoretical research of Reiki, they are all hidden in this city which covers an area of more than 6,000 square kilometers and has a permanent population of more than 20 million.
Cheng Lin was naturally very familiar with this place name.
But this is actually the first time.
[You were very surprised, but then you felt excited. You wanted to go out and see the city, but before going out, you encountered a choice that you had to make]
Information emerges in your mind at the right time.
At the same time.
Cheng Lin was surprised to find that the nameless book suddenly burst out with a burst of holy light.
The bright white lights together formed a light curtain.
In Cheng Lin's eyes, the book seemed to act as a projector.
And in the light curtain, three humanoid images appeared.
"What's this?"
Cheng Lin said in surprise.
In the light curtain.
The three humanoid images looked like miniature versions of people.
It's only half a meter high, but it's enough to see its appearance clearly.
The one on the far left is a tall man.
He was wearing thick silver-white armor, most of his body was covered by silver-white armor, and he was holding a spear. Only a chin and two bright and sharp eyes were exposed in the helmet.
The armor and weapons have exaggerated and strange shapes, but they are also very complicated and exquisite.
He exuded an intimidating aura and coercion.
He looks like a powerful knight from the Middle Ages.
When Cheng Lin looked over.
Explanatory information automatically comes to mind:
[Knight Commander of Glory: A powerful being with ninth-grade cultivation, comes with his own divine equipment, and possesses powerful combat power]
The message is very short.
He looked at the second figure.
It was a girl wearing a white holy robe.
Even the loose robes cannot hide her slender figure. Her slender hands are held together in a praying gesture. Her hair is covered with black hair hidden in a white hood. Her face is a beauty that is hard to find in the world. She wears a silver necklace on her smooth forehead.
The headdress is emitting a hazy holy light, making it look noble and sacred.
[Saint: With the ability to pray, she can receive the power of the gods]
Looked at it a few more times.
Cheng Lin then shifted his gaze to the third figure.
That was an ordinary-looking man.
Wearing white clothes similar to those of a missionary, there is no pressure or imposingness on his body, but he can't help but make people feel good about him.
[Ordinary missionary: no strength bonus, has passive skills: affinity call, invisible mask]
[Affinity Invocation: It can make other people feel good and respectful towards the character, and there is a probability that other people will follow the character]
[Invisible mask: It can make other living things and non-living things unable to remember the specific appearance of the character]
…
Cheng Lin read the information of these three characters in turn and felt very strange.
"What does this mean?"
As soon as he asked the question, he got the answer:
[You need to choose one of these three images as your appearance when walking in the world (the face will automatically adapt to your appearance)]
…
The information in your mind disappears.
It's very quiet indoors.
It took Cheng Lin a while to come back to his senses.
He found that this deduction procedure really had new tricks every time.
"Is this... a role-playing game?"
He laughed.
Then I started to enjoy these three characters leisurely, thinking quickly in my mind.
"Interesting, judging from this setting, the method of this deduction should be close to the third deduction.
That is to say,
I don’t want to wait in my room for the flood to destroy the world and the evolution of civilization.
Wait until everything is settled before going out to do a small, inconsequential task.
But you need to participate in the specific plot.”
This is easy to understand.
Just like last time, Cheng Lin participated in the plot and the global lock was caused by him sending a signal into the universe.
In the last deduction, he actually committed a ball rape.
But this time, Cheng Lin vaguely smelled a hint of conspiracy.
Feeling.
In this fourth deduction, I may need to participate more deeply in the plot.
"If we talk about the first two deductions,
I'm just a spectator,
Wait until everything is over before going out.
That third global lockdown,
I participated in the early stage plot,
Beyond the middle plot,
Wait until everything is over before going out to complete the Shajiao City mission.
So this fourth time,
Is it possible that I need to be fully involved?
Will you go through the early, middle and late stages of the story completely?
No longer the role of a spectator,
But as a participant?
Or even... a leader?"
Cheng Lin thought in his mind and felt that his guess had a high probability to be correct.
You can get a glimpse of it from the "role play" in front of you.
"Then the choice is easy."
Cheng Lin leisurely walked around the room, pacing around these three lights and shadows.
He even poured himself a cup of hot drink and drank it leisurely.
"First of all, among the three characters, the saint was the first to be rejected.
Women's clothing is absolutely not allowed!
Moreover, this is not just a problem of women’s clothing.
But it is possible to actually change gender,
This is terrible!
Must be the first to veto!"
"The second is to choose between the shining knight and the missionary.
Of the two, the Cavaliers obviously have the greater advantage.
He possesses a ninth-level cultivation level, and is covered with divine attire.
When the great flood comes,
It is completely possible to run rampant in the world,
Whether it's self-protection or doing something,
It’s all more convenient.”
Cheng Lin paused and stopped.
He took a long sip of the hot drink.
Then, he looked at the third one, the most incompetent one, and smiled:
"thus,
The decision is yours!
Ordinary missionary!”
