It seems to be because of the presence of tourists, or the two smells are too abnormal.
All in all, the moment the down-and-out middle-aged man appeared, "danger" came to everyone.
Everyone in the cathedral fell into the same feeling as Ah Jiu when he was controlled by tourists.
It seemed like there were countless sharp knives placed across everyone's bodies.
As long as the body moves slightly, those knives will cut off, cut and chop the moving person!
The old man paused, Cheng Yi paused, and Ah Jiu paused.
Tourists - excited.
She tried to use her fingers to push away the dangerous red line in front of her, and then observed the situation at the entrance of the cathedral.
But even the tourists themselves found it difficult to break free from this suffocating sense of oppression.
Ah, cool.
But the tourist still wanted to feel more comfortable, so she was trying her best to raise her wrist, trying to get herself deeper into the denser red lines of danger ahead.
At the same time, one of the only two people present who can move at this stage.
Xu Cheng.
He was looking curiously at the middle-aged man who walked in from the door of the cathedral.
Wearing a faded trench coat and an unshaven beard, he looked downcast and decadent.
Only those eyes emitted a little blue fluorescence in the dim cathedral.
But Xu Cheng actually didn't care much about that. His eyes had already moved to the middle-aged man's mouth.
To be more precise, it should actually be the cigarette held in the mouth of the middle-aged man.
Xu Cheng was a little surprised and asked:
“So is it allowed to smoke in the cathedral?”
Mathematician: "..."
He was confused by Xu Cheng's question and had no idea why the other party used this sentence as his opening statement.
But in the next second, the mathematician reacted.
That’s it, that’s it!
After all, it is one of the nine fixed values, and it is a good psychological warfare.
This question may seem nonsensical, but in fact, you can analyze many answers based on your own answer.
“Can I smoke in the cathedral?”
——The premise of this question is that the mathematician himself "smoked in the cathedral".
If the mathematician answers no, then it should be possible to roughly judge that the mathematician is in a "leading" position in the cathedral.
Other people can't smoke, but mathematicians can.
If the answer is yes, then beliefs about weirdness should not be so rigid, and many things can be handled flexibly.
This will be of great help for subsequent tactical choices.
How awesome!
No matter how you answer, the other party can conduct targeted analysis based on the flaws in your words!
The mathematician smiled softly, took a puff of cigarette, and thought for a while.
He suddenly thought of an answer that was particularly suitable for dealing with this dangerous situation:
"I don't know, I've never thought about this problem."
Perfect!
Impeccable!
Xu Cheng: "..."
are you crazy!
I have always felt that although the cathedral is the enemy's base camp, it is still a building with a certain history.
Although the main body is made of cement, it is still mixed with a lot of wood materials, and the fire prevention measures are extremely poor.
Smoking in such a place would be uncivilized and inconsistent with Xu Cheng's aesthetics.
Therefore, even though listening to Ah Jiu's story made him want to smoke, Xu Cheng still resisted the urge to take out a cigarette.
But, the mathematician showed up.
He smoked a cigarette in the cathedral with a calm expression, which aroused Xu Cheng's greed.
The other party may be the "mathematician" mentioned by the people in white, the leader of the Church of the Stars, and the actual owner of this cathedral.
Ask him, and then smoke one, it's not bad.
But now you’re giving me something like “I don’t know, I never thought about it”???
Why do you look so much like my unlucky daughter?!
Xu Cheng's face was speechless. He had already caught a cigarette in his pocket with his fingers, then pulled it out and lit it.
No matter what, I'm happy to talk about it.
Ever since, these two men - one old, one middle-aged, stood facing each other in the cathedral, smoking silently.
The mathematician felt that Xu Cheng was testing him.
Xu Cheng, on the other hand, was smoking seriously.
Ah, cool!
This scene seemed extremely ordinary, and others seemed not to rule out the possibility of the two of them sitting down and talking.
But this is not the case.
In the eyes of tourists, countless dangers materialized and turned into countless dangerous red lines, entangled around Xu Cheng and the mathematician.
As the cigarettes in the hands of the two men gradually burned, the dangerous red lines emitted by the two people became more and more dense!
Those two cigarettes were like a countdown before the war, gradually gathering a terrifying danger that surpassed everything around them.
Tourists want to be immersed in it.
It's a pity that there are too many red lines escaping from the direction where the two of them are, and even tourists can't break free from them for a while.
However, tourists can be sure that they will be the first to appreciate that fascinating and dangerous...
Huh?
The tourist was suddenly stunned.
Because her eyes that spread like petals saw this scene:
The skinny old man who should have been trapped by the dangerous red line was actually twisting his neck as if nothing happened, and then jumped to sit on a seat not far away.
who is he?
Is he also a person with special characteristics? Why did he break away from the shackles of the dangerous red line first? How did he do it?
Then, the tourist saw an even more shocking scene.
The old man did not "break away" from the dangerous red lines, but directly "passed" through them with his thin and small body!
How can this be?!
The petal pupils in the visitor's eyes spread rapidly, representing her chaotic thoughts at the moment.
She originally thought that in the cathedral at this moment, the fixed value was the most special, and everyone else - including Cheng Yi, who had been fighting with her frequently, was not worth mentioning.
They are too "not dangerous".
Tourists are not afraid of danger, but are addicted to it.
But she never expected that the "ordinary person" among the people present could do something so beyond her understanding!
He's not even superhuman!
That old man, how on earth did he directly cross the dangerous red line?!
The tourists don't know, Ah Jiu doesn't know, but Cheng Yi knows.
In the battle of the urban village, the old man relied on a similar principle to directly ignore the domain characteristics of the attribute user named "Reaper".
For the old man, he has always used the "third-person" perspective to observe the world.
Those dangerous red lines are indeed the materialization of danger, but in the final analysis they are just dangers that are "possible" but "have not happened yet".
You can't see it, you can't touch it.
In that case, what does it matter what he does?
The fight that is about to break out in front of you is more interesting!
The old man smiled like a child who had just bought a new game. He sat quietly on a bench in the corner of the cathedral, took out a few jelly beans from his pocket, and popped them into his mouth.
Beautiful.
…
The old man is watching a play.
Tourists and Cheng Yi are trying to break away or overcome the fear around them.
Because of the previous attack by tourists, Ah Jiu was completely exhausted and collapsed on the ground.
Everyone has their own things to be busy with, and Xu Cheng and the mathematician are no exception.
The mathematician patted the backpack on his back and looked up at Xu Cheng in front of him.
"One of the nine fixed values, you are... older than I thought."
Xu Cheng was happy when he heard this and lit the cigarette ashes in his hand.
"What? At fifty-eight, you can't be a chosen child?"
"You are also more humorous than I thought."
The mathematician pursed his lips, his eyes filled with complex and far-reaching emotions.
"They all used to call me mathematician."
"I want to kill nine fixed values and make the world full of weirdness when the ultimate danger comes."
