When the skinny man felt that the steel particles used to repair the door were rushing towards his neck again and again, his first words confirmed Qing Jiuliu's guess - "Please, don't kill me," he said
He was so anxious that he almost cried, "I didn't mean to do anything to you, and I couldn't help myself!"
Lin Sanjiu allowed another wave of particles to repair the door panels to surge forward. When she touched the opponent's neck, she calmly blew the door open again and answered with one word: "Oh?"
"It's true, I've never seen you before, right? We have no grievances or grudges... These are all what Mr. Pigs mean." He reluctantly raised his face from the doorway and looked at the two of them.
, deep wrinkles formed on my forehead.
"Mr. Pig?" Qing Jiuliu said with a smile, "Can't you see that you are such a polite person that you even use the honorific title "Pig"?
The skinny man swallowed hard, and after another explosion, he narrowed his eyes suddenly and said: "No... you don't understand, Mr. Pigs are actually very remarkable people... uh, creatures.
What qualifications do I, a humble and insignificant human being, have to stand upright in front of Mr. Pigs? I hope you believe me. All decisions are made by Mr. Pigs, and I dare not disobey them."
Lin Sanjiu and Qing Jiuliu couldn't help but look at each other.
"Tell me from the beginning, what happened, who are you, and how did you get to know those pigs?" Lin Sanjiu turned around and urged.
"It's Mr. Pig," the skinny man actually corrected her. When Lin Sanjiu deliberately waited until the last moment to blow up the door again, he suddenly became more honest and murmured: "Okay, okay
…My name is Ding Liuyi, and I am twenty-five years old this year. Mr. Pig has been taking care of us since I can remember, so I don’t know how we first met…”
At this moment, his face was covered with sweat and dust, and there were streaks of dirt between the deep wrinkles on his forehead. Lin Sanjiu looked at him, almost dumbfounded: "What did you say? How old are you?
?”
"Twenty-five," Ding Liuyi replied uneasily.
"Are you really not fifty-two?" Qingjiu Liu slipped out and sat down next to the doorway, showing Lin Sanjiu face to face with him, and asked: "Don't he look like he can be my dad? I even--
"
"Age is not important," Lin Sanjiu interrupted him - otherwise Qing Jiuliu would not be serious and would waste a lot of time. "Continue talking."
"I have always been an ordinary person. I have to be taken care of by Mr. Pig for food, drink, clothing and housing. It's not of much use." Ding Liuyi glanced back and forth at the two of them, his face confused and scared, as if he didn't know why they were
He would be surprised at his age. "It wasn't until two weeks ago that I suddenly evolved, and I was able to contribute to Mr. Pigs."
No wonder she and Qingjiuru were not sure whether this person was an evolved person or an ordinary person. It turned out that he had only evolved for two weeks, which was when his whole aura was blurry.
"Then what? What is your contribution?" Qingjiuru asked.
Ding Liuyi suddenly lowered his eyelids slightly. At that moment, Lin Sanjiu couldn't describe the look on his face - was it regret? Uneasiness? Guilt?
No matter what look he had, it was completely dispelled by another explosion.
Ding Liuyi raised his face and said a little numbly: "Because of the nature of my ability... Probably yesterday afternoon, the Mr. Pigs told me their plan and asked me to be prepared. So today Mr. Pig and I
We came to this place together... My ability is very low, but the Mr. Pigs are clever and have great powers. With the cooperation of Mr. Pigs, the plan was completed smoothly. The Mr. Pigs told me that you all fell ill as expected.
He was taken away and quarantined."
Having said this, he closed his eyes tightly, as if he wanted to avoid the dust and smoke of the explosion. "But how come you didn't fall ill? What Mr. Pigs said is not wrong. Did you recover after that?"
?"
"Who do you think is asking whom?" Lin Sanjiu felt a cold anger in her chest, which made her only want to see the world frozen and smashed into pieces. "What is your ability? You guys
What’s the plan?”
"My, my ability is called [Catching Butterflies]..." Ding Liuyi said dryly.
Although his life hung in Lin Sanjiu's hands and he had to hand over information, when he explained his abilities, Lin Sanjiu still felt that he lacked the resistance that ordinary evolvers should have - as if he still had
If you don't understand, it's a taboo for an evolved person to expose his abilities casually.
"I didn't understand what the 'butterfly effect' was at first. It was Mr. Pig who enlightened me, that is -"
"We know what the 'butterfly effect' is," Lin Sanjiu interrupted, "Let's continue."
"Oh, in short, Mr. Pig said that in a complicated and chaotic world with no rules to follow, the causes that determine the direction of an event are also very complex. In other words, no one knows their fate today or when.
, caused by which 'butterfly'."
When he said this, Lin Sanjiu and Qing Jiuliu had already understood. None of them said anything because they didn't know what to say when faced with such an unheard of and unimaginable ability -
—Catching butterflies means catching out the factors that cause the "butterfly effect"?
Doesn’t this mean controlling fate with one hand?
"I can't see what has happened, and it's useless to look at it. I can only look at the future." Ding Liuyi seemed completely unaware of the weight of his words, and said to Lin Sanjiu: "Don't get me wrong.
I can't predict the future... For example, I activate my ability in you, and then find that you will have one or several crucial influencing factors in the next few years. These factors can be people or things.
, it can also be something abstract.
"I can't know the details. I only know whether this factor is good or bad for you. If it is good, you should secretly protect it, promote it, and let it work naturally. If it is bad, then you
You can prevent, block, or eradicate it in advance.”
Lin Sanjiu vaguely knew what he was going to say next.
"Mr. Pigs are very selfless. Not one of them asked me to help him see his own destiny first. Instead, he was the first to ask me to see our common destiny in the future."
Ding Liuyi's tone became more and more depressed, as if the fact that he had to betray Mr. Pig in order to survive finally weighed heavily on his heart. "Then I found out... At noon today, in the [Medical System]
】In the world model, there will be a group of people who have just landed, and the existence of this group of people will be a disaster for us."
"This group of people...refer to us?" Lin Sanjiu asked in confusion.
She was distracted for a moment and failed to blow up the door in time, which frightened Ding Liuyi and made him even more cooperative: "Yes, yes! We have no choice but to do it! If you can promise, you will never harm us again."
It is our annihilation, so I think Mr. Pigs are reasonable and will definitely not force you into a dead end... Of course, I need my ability to show that you are no longer a threat... We are just self-defense in advance, instead of
Are you going to just wait for your own annihilation and do nothing?"
"That's ridiculous," Lin Sanjiu paused and said, "I don't even know where you got out of here, how did we become your disaster?"
"It's true," Ding Liuyi said hurriedly: "Otherwise, as you said, you and the Mr. Pigs are completely strangers to each other, so why would we need to take action?"
"Tell me specifically, how did you do it?" Qingjiuru asked slowly, as if he didn't hear his self-defense.
"For specific methods, you have to ask Mr. Pig. They have many magical and superb methods... I am only responsible for helping them determine their goals. After that, Mr. Pig did not explain to me in detail." Ding Liuyi endured it.
There was an explosion and he said: "That's of course. How can Mr. Pig report everything to me?"
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but Qing Jiuliu glanced at her, and then asked a seemingly unsurprising question: "You have determined the target, and then what?"
"Mr. Pigs took good care of me and told me that the smoke was harmful to me and would make me sick, so they sent me here in time." Ding Liuyi seemed to see that Lin Sanjiu didn't believe it and quickly explained:
"I know this is the building of the [Medical System], but the Mr. Pigs said that they have communicated with the system and can temporarily put me in the isolation room alone. They said that there is no smoke here, as long as no other
When the patient comes in, I feel much safer here than outside. The nurse is also very kind to me and even gave me a meal once."
Lin Sanjiu slowly bent down. She probably understood the purpose of those pigs.
Her hearing power was far superior to that of Ding Liuyi, and she had already noticed the sound of footsteps approaching from a distance. Yu Yuan and Pina must be arriving soon.
Lin Sanjiu is not stupid; the [Medical System] allowed her to blow up the door so many times without saying a word and wasted so much energy repairing it. There must be a reason - because the [Medical System] wanted to keep the two of them.
, wait until Yu Yuan and Pina also arrive, so that they can be caught in one fell swoop.
There is not much time left for her interrogation.
"Listen carefully, this next question will determine the life and death of you and your pig gentlemen." Lin Sanjiu had many questions to ask, but there is undoubtedly only one question that is the most critical at the moment: "How many pigs are taken away?"
I asked one of our companions, tell me, where did they go?"
"I, I don't know either," Ding Liuyi panicked and said, "I've been staying here..."
"Then let me ask another question." Lin Sanjiu smiled slowly and asked, "Where are those pigs communicating with the [medical system]?"
Finished! Then I forgot all the nonsense I wanted to talk about... What was I going to say... Am I under the Puppet Master's Alzheimer's Curse?
