Chapter 241 'The Apocalypse of Hungry Ghosts' is missing
Jiang Qian's words were just a few words, but they were like a bolt from the blue, exploding in the mind of Lao Liu in the valley.
What? What was he just saying?
Canyon Lao Liu thought that he was too strong and his mind was a little flashy.
He forced himself to remain calm and refused to reveal any flaws in front of his "dead enemies" and "die-hard fans".
However, Northeastern home-cooked food a few meters away swooped over and quickly came to Jiang Qian, looking at him eagerly:
"Master Qianlong, what are you talking about~ The side mission has been completed? That's awesome!!"
Looking at the little fan who used to follow him like a piece of mashed potato, now stuck to Qianlong Wuyong's side, Canyon Lao Liu's mind was in turmoil again! The sea waves smelled of lemon...
What followed was disdain and unwillingness: was he one step ahead again? Was he allowed to steal the limelight again??
Side missions...
Damn it, I just touched the door, now you tell me to hand in the paper? Who are you kidding?!
Canyon Lao Liu swallowed his saliva, hid his thoughts deeply, and asked in a strange way: "What is the source of the disaster?"
Only then did Dongbei Home Cooking realize that his former idol had sobered up. He turned around and greeted him calmly: "Brother Monkey, are you awake?"
Canyon Lao Liu snorted reservedly.
He turned his gaze to Jiang Qian, showing a contradictory expression of vigilance and expectation.
Jiang Qian did not start a lawsuit with them. He took out the chivalrous cloak from the unlocked locker and put on the watch, saying:
"The source of the disaster is: the expansion of human desires and the emergence of evil thoughts."
…
"?!"
Hearing this answer, Dongbei Home Cooking opened his eyes wide, but he was a little confused for a moment.
The sixth person in the canyon was even more surprised: "This is...the original words in the copy information? How can you verify this answer?"
Obviously, he has a deeper understanding of the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" copy than Northeastern Home Cooking.
However, in his memory, the side mission of exploring the "Source of Catastrophe" had not given him any new instructions since it was triggered, including after obtaining the book, and there was no reminder to advance the mission...
So when he realized that Jiang Qian's answer was actually based on the information originally given by the copy, Canyon Lao Liu was very surprised. He couldn't imagine how the two were connected in any way or logic.
"Speaking of it, this is a 'chicken and egg' problem."
Jiang Qian calmly replied:
"To reach the threshold of answering this question, the first step is to gather three prerequisites, a key person, a core idea, and three core experimental materials. Each of these three accounts for 25% of the side tasks."
"A key figure is Dr. Kate, the world-famous genius biologist and the author of the book in your arms."
Canyon Lao Liu was slightly startled, and eagerly took out the "The Miracle of Genes" from his arms, interrupting Jiang Qian: "Did you peek at the clues I found?"
Jiang Qian was not angry, but instead laughed so hard: "How can you call it a peek? Even you are my trophy."
"Qianlong, please don't use you..." Canyon Lao Liu was so angry that his eyes twitched. At the same time, he finally got psychological comfort: Sure enough, this kid was able to pass the test because he peeked at my clues!
But when he watched Jiang Qian calmly take out a stack of experimental materials from his arms, and then took out a medicine box with a high-quality packaging, his dissatisfaction was gradually replaced by more curiosity.
The urging voice of Northeastern home-cooked food came from my ears: "Master, please continue to tell me, how come a chicken lays an egg, and an egg lays a chicken?"
Canyon Lao Liu glared at Dongbei Home Cooking and said nothing.
Jiang Qian calmly hooked his hand towards Lao Liu in the canyon.
Canyon Lao Liu reluctantly handed over the book in his hand...
The clue items are lined up: "The Miracle of Genes", experimental materials, and poisons.
Jiang Qianyan briefly and comprehensively interpreted the clue objects corresponding to the branch information points.
"After the three information points match, the dungeon will automatically pop up the answer option. Manually fill in your understanding of the source of the disaster. Each person has 3 verification opportunities. The two of you can repeat the information and you can see the prompts given by the dungeon.
.”
Following Jiang Qian's instructions, Canyon Laoliu and Northeast Home Cooking immediately verified it in person, and indeed successfully got the opportunity to answer the question!
"really……"
"It really happened, awesome!"
Both of their faces showed varying degrees of joy.
Canyon Lao Liu's restraint was over: "I still don't understand how a chicken lays an egg and the egg lays a chicken."
Jiang Qian's finger fell on the book "The Miracle of Genes":
"As I said just now, the information point corresponding to this book is the core idea of 'The Source of Catastrophe'. I just read this book three times. When I read it for the third time, I realized that the author, Dr. Kate, was actually a fake
Academic treatises satirized the rule of the imperial authorities and pointed out that it was the 'devil that corrupted mankind'."
"Therefore, among the limited three opportunities for answer certification, I spent one opportunity to verify this, but the result was unsuccessful."
Canyon Lao Liu was greatly shocked when he heard this, and was in awe of Jiang Qian's foreign language proficiency! At the same time, he was also more curious about Jiang Qian's next explanation.
Jiang Qian paused for a moment and continued:
"So I re-examined the answer I gave: The corrupt rule of the empire is indeed the object of Dr. Kate's satire. It is the rule of the empire that catalyzes people's desires and evil thoughts, but it is not enough to be called the source of disaster.
"
The sixth child in the canyon shrinks: "Because rule is also established by human beings... The establishment and promotion of decadent rule are all caused by human beings. Therefore, the source of disaster is not rule but human beings?"
He then sneered: "It is indeed a 'chicken and egg' question. This is a word game. The difficulty is not the answer to the question, but actually getting qualified to answer the question, because the answer is obvious and is right in the stem of the question.
middle!"
"What you said makes sense. This is indeed a reasonable interpretation. The purpose of the side mission is not to test the answer, but to enable us to uncover the real secrets of this world in the process of seeking the answer."
Jiang Qian rubbed his chin with his fingers and said in his usual attitude of discussing topics:
"We have seen that this catastrophe is worldwide and affects all mankind, involving different races and countries. The dungeon information and the results of side tasks have double verified that human desires and evil thoughts have created the catastrophe."
"Remember what the copy prompt said - people don't even know how 'it' happened: some humans are 'transforming' into another species: ferocious, greedy, hunting the same kind for food..."
In the sound of Jiang Qian's retelling, Canyon Lao Liu and Northeast Home Cooking gradually fell into deep thought.
The two of them were immersed in continuous thinking, quickly reviewing everything they had experienced in the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" these days.
"I don't know if you have noticed, but among the clues known so far, there is something both vague and contradictory about it."
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp]
Jiang Qian picked out the poison from the clue objects:
"The thing inside this, as I just said, is defined as a 'mysterious extract', and after my verification, it is the same thing as the toxin on the crawler's tail needle. Don't you find it strange?"
"It's a chicken-and-egg problem!" Canyon Lao Liu immediately reacted, "This is very contradictory, unless the experiment underground in the mental hospital was not the place where the first crawler was born."
Jiang Qian stared into Canyon Lao Liu's eyes and nodded slowly: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."
Canyon Lao Liu stared at Jiang Qian's calm and deep eyes, feeling unable to calm down for a moment.
He felt that he was surrounded by a powerful aura, not crushed by intelligence or pressured by momentum, but enveloped by a deep and peaceful energy field!
His mind was opened and wisdom was perceived, so he felt comfortable and happy, and did not consciously want to obey.
This guy is very charming... When Canyon Lao Liu realized this, his initial strong desire to win and hostility towards Jiang Qian miraculously subsided.
The desire to win fades because of the knowledge that one is invincible; the hatred of hostility fades because of admiration.
"Master, Master, what are you... talking about? How come a chicken lays an egg or an egg lays a chicken? Why am I not keeping up?"
Listening to the Northeastern home-cooked dishes surrounded by clouds and mountains and fog, I looked around, not knowing what was happening.
"It doesn't matter. If you do your housework well, everything will be fine."
Jiang Qian said, got up and walked to the window, overlooking the vast night of Lianhua City:
"The coordinates of the second player will be announced soon. What are your plans?"
At this time, Canyon Lao Liu and Northeast Home Cooking have completed the side mission verification and unlocked their respective item bars.
Hearing Jiang Qian's words, the two of them were stunned at the same time.
Northeast Home Cooking was the first to respond: "Master Qianlong, um, do you have a shortage of cooks around you? Hehe, what do you think of me~"
Canyon Lao Liu glanced at Heituo: "Just you?"
This obviously disgusting and contemptuous attitude made Northeast Home Cooking's face blush, and he hurriedly argued: "Hey! What's wrong with me? No matter how smart you are, how can you not eat my cooking?"
Canyon Lao Liu never expected that his little fan would talk back to him, and he felt a little out of breath for a while!
He turned away from the home-cooked food and answered Jiang Qian's question: "I am going to educate those grandsons who are plotting against me first..."
After successfully unlocking the item bar, the three of them now have the guarantee to "run rampant" in this "hungry ghost apocalypse".
Of course, the degree of protection is directly proportional to the quality and efficacy of the props.
"Master, where are you?" Dongbei Home Cooking asked.
Jiang Qian smiled and said, "I'm going to sift through those clues with unclear meanings again. Maybe they will be useful later."
Canyon Lao Liu suddenly felt a little ashamed when he heard this.
At first, he vowed to push the dungeon to the top so that he could go back to the forum to show off his results afterwards. However, after fighting Qianlong Wuyong once, he even lost his will to fight.
So he changed his tune and said, "I was joking just now! You can just leave those grandsons alone and let them die on their own. Exploring the plot is much more interesting than educating the grandsons."
"That's right, that's right, let those grandsons destroy themselves!" Dongbei Home Cooking also echoed.
Canyon Lao Liu was stunned for a moment and said no more.
Jiang Qian looked at the two of them and had a plan in mind.
He said: "In that case, before the coordinates are announced, the three of us should form an alliance and go together."
"But there is something I need to inform you two in advance. I have a friend elsewhere. If I receive an emergency signal from him during this period, I may suspend the progress of my exploration."
"It's human nature! If you really need to be anxious when the time comes, I can help you with this dish!"
Dongbei Home Cooking was the first to express his stance. When he said these words, he felt a little sad for no reason. After all, he, the weakling, was directly abandoned by Canyon Lao Liu without hesitation.
But he can understand it. After all, it's other people's business to do what others do with the dungeon, so he can't complain.
The glory of human nature is precious because it is not often seen.
"I have no problem." Canyon Lao Liu said, "But where do you plan to start?"
Jiang Qian took out the diagram obtained from the bottom of the poison box and showed it to Lao Liu:
"This is a sign obtained from the basement of a mental hospital. The same sign was found in the abandoned prison in the south of the city. I plan to go there tomorrow to have a look."
Canyon Lao Liu narrowed his eyes: "I've seen this picture before."
"That's right, you guys are familiar with that place." Jiang Qian said with a smile.
"Yes, not only is he familiar, but he is also very impressive."
Therefore, the three of them spent the night selectively exchanging all aspects of information since experiencing the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse".
This includes thinking and verification of the hunger test, as well as judgments, speculations and conjectures about the other two paths.
Hearing that Jiang Qian had sorted out the early logic of the entire "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" world in such detail, Canyon Lao Liu stopped hiding his secrets and shared everything he had observed about the behavior of the Anteater Legion.
come out.
These include crazy attacks on ant nests everywhere, destroying the queen ants, attacking human settlements from south to north, and causing a large number of "groups" to commit atrocities...
