Chapter 418: Lantern Festival and the Time Traveler
Because of the strange howl just now, Bain Rich had already believed in Lu Wenwu.
He was now extremely sure that it was definitely a thing called "ghost" that he had seen somewhere before!
And the culprit who killed his family has now been completely eliminated!
When he thought of this, he was mixed with sadness and joy, wiping his tears and pouring wine into his mouth.
This very face-giving and quiet approach gave Lu Wenwu sufficient "interrogation" time.
The information query method of forcibly piecing together memory fragments really tasted not very good, it was simply too abstract.
The general operation process is to receive a pile of memory fragments that have been crushed into powder, and then restore them like a puzzle according to your own logical thinking, in order to obtain some information.
Imagine if all the film and audio tapes of "Titanic" were put in a shredder and completely shredded, and you were asked to piece them together bit by bit and then play them.
How torturous would this be?
Lu Wenwu was doing this just now.
Very good memory fragment editing, which makes my mind spin.
More abstractly, the vengeful ghost does not carry complete memories. What it contains is a lot of negative emotional pollution and a small amount of memory fragments.
Lu Wenwu tried his best to "taste", but he only tasted that sentence.
[The immortal gods are high above the heaven, overlooking the struggle and reincarnation of all things in the world]
This is the most profound thing engraved in the other party's soul memory, and it is also the easiest thing to restore.
As for the others, they have long been fragmented and untraceable with the disappearance of their carriers.
After getting this sentence, Lu Wenwu did not plan to accompany Bain Richie to drink here.
After he paid the balance, the two people and the dog left the Eternal Paradise Bar and returned to their RV.
When he saw Liu Linan, he immediately repeated this sentence.
Now it became a headache for three people and a dog.
They had no clue about it.
Especially Liu Linan.
He was confused and had no idea what it was.
To him, the words "reincarnation", "heaven" and "gods" were so unfamiliar, and he even heard some of them for the first time today.
It was really difficult to think about the meaning of them.
Lu Wenwu simply sent him and Maomao to sleep together, and he and Wang Banxian continued to study these two sentences and tried to find some information on the Internet.
Unfortunately, there was no relevant information on the Internet.
Occasionally, some fragments could be searched, which were all jokes made up by netizens when they were bragging to each other, or old myths heard from some corner.
Coconut Juice City can be said to be a city composed of atheists.
If you want to find something related to religion here, it is really difficult.
Lu Wenwu and Wang Banxian even doubted whether there was something wrong with their understanding of this sentence.
It is not a clear reference to something, but a metaphor?
If the gods are compared to the top executives of the top corporate group, and the struggling citizens below are compared to all things in the world, the whole sentence seems to make sense.
But only this sentence makes sense.
Why did it appear on a resentful ghost?
Lu Wenwu doesn't think it's because the resentful ghost has a higher cultural literacy.
The resentful ghost's hidden obsession with this sentence even far exceeds the obsession with killing other passengers. This is probably something that even Wang Banxian and the resentful ghost himself didn't expect.
If we combine this sentence, then the resentful ghost said at the beginning:
"You all have to agree with me."
"You are not the first, and you won't be the last."
"You will have the same fate as those who have died before."
These three sentences should not simply mock Lu Wenwu and Wang Banxian for not knowing their own abilities and following the footsteps of the passengers who have died before.
It seems more like a satire on this society?
A resentful ghost, criticizing the social system?
At first glance, it seems to be nonsense.
But think about it carefully.
In the coconut milk city, this matter seems to be quite reasonable.
A story about a person who was exploited to death by a vampire and turned into a ghost but could not forget this bloody history, and subconsciously still hated this wrong world and system.
It's so reasonable. What the hell!
Is it reasonable for a resentful ghost to be liberated?
If it really turned into a ghost for this reason, then it would be better to go and beat the gauze vampires instead of harming its own kind?
Time passed slowly in this fierce brainstorming.
Lu Wenwu also fell asleep slowly leaning on his nutrient solution box without knowing it.
He consumed too much physical energy tonight, and even if he had been replenishing nutrient solution, he would still feel tired in his soul.
When he woke up, it was already noon.
The other two had woken up, only Maomao was still sleeping soundly - Xiugou didn't have to work 996, so of course he could sleep as much as he wanted!
Seeing Wang Banxian hesitate to speak, Lu Wenwu rubbed his eyes, stretched and asked: "What? Is there a result?"
"That's not the case, it's just that" Wang Banxian seemed a little hesitant.
Lu Wenwu glared: "You have something to say, why are you so shy!"
Wang Banxian gritted his teeth and said with some shame: "Didn't we search about gods, immortality, reincarnation, heaven and so on in the middle of the night just yesterday? It should be that the search traces were crawled down by some hidden crawlers, and a group of people followed the IP The address was given to Brother Menwu. I was a little careless.”
"It's not a big problem, so where are the people?" Lu Wenwu didn't care about this. "There's no fight now. The other party shouldn't be here to fight for their lives, right? What is the other party's demand?"
Liu Lin'an handed over a tablet and said: "The other party claimed to be a member of the Random Society. He learned about some of our actions through Bain Rich, so he wanted to hire us to perform a ghost exorcism mission. Shengun and I checked , they are a religious organization.”
"The Lantern Festival? A religious organization? We searched for a long time yesterday and couldn't find it. Now it's delivered to our door. This is quite new."
Lu Wenwu took the tablet, casually browsed through the chat history with no nutrition, then put it aside, began to fill his box with nutrient solution, and peeled off a stick of nutrient paste to eat.
"Are they Buddhists with this name? Do they believe in the ancient Buddha of Ran Deng? Or do they believe in which Buddha?"
"Well, although they claim to have read Buddhist classics, they are not Buddhists." Wang Banxian's expression suddenly became complicated. "They believe in the ancient water god - Gonggong!"
"who?"
The expression on Lu Wenwu's face suddenly became wonderful.
"No, their organization is called Ran Deng Hui, and what they believe in is Gong Gong? Why is that? Even if they believe in the God of Fire Zhurong? I can't understand it."
"I don't quite understand it, maybe it's due to cultural chronology." Wang Banxian responded with a wry smile.
When he first learned about this, he was no less surprised than Lu Wenwu.
I don’t know why their organization’s name has nothing to do with their belief in cows and horses.
But the facts are right in front of them, and they can't help but not believe it.
"Forget it, forget it, it doesn't matter what this civil religious organization thinks, so do you know anything about them?" Lu Wenwu waved his hand, "This damn Bain Rich was only traded at night, so he sold it to us ”
Liu Lin'an was the first to shake his head: "I've never heard of it. As you know, Fifth Brother, my life has always been monotonous."
Wang Banxian followed closely: "I tried counter-tracking, but to no avail. The other party's experience is better than mine and all traces have been erased long ago. I also tried to search for this organization online, but I couldn't find it at all. There seems to be only a few words left of the mythical story here.”
"In that case, whether it's a mule or a horse, let's see it with our own eyes." Lu Wenwu made the decision, "Have they given the specific address, mission target, and reward amount?"
"Yes, here." Liu Lin'an picked up the tablet next to him and scratched it.
A bird's-eye view of a place with the name of the place appeared on it, and a large series of tempting numbers hung next to it.
It is also about catching ghosts and exorcising them. This time it is a haunted house. It is said that the AI in the house will control the smart home to kill the residents in the house in various ways. I hope Lu Wenwu and others can kill them.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
I have to say that the price offered by the other party was much more sincere than Bain Rich.
Just exorcising an evil spirit from a religious organization's house
No matter how I think about this matter, I find it a bit difficult.
There is a sense of déjà vu when a monk discovers that his temple is haunted and immediately calls the Taoist priest from the hilltop to catch the ghost.
Lu Wenwu immediately decided, in addition to the credits given to Liu Lin'an, to use yesterday's mission reward stud to improve his body's purity, and drive there immediately after the improvement was completed.
The people in the Lantern Festival are also very happy.
When I heard they were coming, I immediately gave them a 30% advance payment.
Lu Wenwu was a direct stud, and his [Physical] attribute was pushed to around 1,200 points.
Even with the nutrient solution box on my back, I was almost reaching my limit.
He was not worried that the invitation given by the Lantern Club was fraudulent.
With his current strength and Maomao's strength, even a huge amount of explosives would not be able to cause any effective damage to him in a short burst.
Faced with such an organization that is hidden under the floating world and full of tasks and stories at first glance, more contact will help complete the main tasks.
However, when the group of people drove to the place according to the navigation, they found that they seemed to be a little bit like a villain, judging a gentleman's heart.
The other party was more sincere than expected. They were warmly welcomed by the members of the Lantern Club as soon as they arrived.
Walking among this group of ancient Chinese-style antique buildings located underground, looking at the pavilions and pavilions that were completely different from the surrounding high-rise buildings, bathed in warm artificial sunlight, Lu Wenwu's thoughts began to stir in his heart.
How much does it cost to build such a place in Coconut City?
How much nutritional cream can be exchanged for!
"So, which of your buildings is haunted?"
In a small pavilion, Lu Wenwu blew the tea leaves on the teacup, drank the tea handed to him in one gulp and asked.
Beside him, a kind-faced old man in robes smiled and added another glass for him.
If you put aside that the old man is a white man with blond hair and blue eyes, everything seems to be quite harmonious.
"We don't have any buildings that are haunted." He smiled slightly, "I just heard that there are strange people who can solve this problem, so I want to get acquainted with you, that's all."
"So what you're saying is that you're lying to us?"
Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows, and a cold breath began to spread in the courtyard.
An evil aura like nine cold days quietly filled the air, and the originally scalding tea suddenly cooled down and turned into solid ice and froze in the tea set.
With the recovery from cultivation, the aura pressure belonging to the extraordinary upper-level life form is gradually returning.
"You have to pay a price for cheating on me." Lu Wenwu looked at the old man in front of him and said with a smile.
The old man's eyes showed horror for a moment, but he suppressed it forcibly the next moment and became more kind.
"Mr. Lu, you and Mr. Wang are not locals, right? The locals don't have the skills you have."
"How can you tell?"
Lu Wenwu played with the completely frozen teacup as if he were playing with a handle.
The old man smiled and replied: "People here don't know how to drink tea."
"Well, I observed it very carefully, but you still didn't tell me how to solve the problem of you lying to me."
Lu Wenwu glanced at him, and a wisp of dragon power suddenly appeared.
"I'm a very impatient person. I don't like to beat around the bush and say what I have to say directly."
"!!!"
The old man was so frightened by the look that he felt that his enhanced heart was almost overloaded.
The hormone secretion suppressor is a little out of control, and the deepest secrets hidden in the heart will be blurted out at once.
"I know you, people like you. Whether you are a player or a time traveler, there are seniors in the Lantern Club who have left relevant books."
"oh?"
Now Lu Wenwu became interested, and the power he had previously exuded suddenly subsided, and everything became invisible.
Even the frozen pond water has resumed flowing, and the fish swimming in it seem not to have been affected at all.
Now the old man did not dare to be negligent, and immediately told the truth: "In history, our Lantern Society has contacted and accepted many people like you. Some of them call themselves [players] and some call themselves [travelers]. Without exception, they all have Possessing some knowledge that we don’t have and possessing strange abilities.”
"At the same time, according to what they said, each of them came here for a purpose, which is something called [the main mission]. Only a few of these people succeeded and then returned to the world where they were."
"The rest all failed the [main mission], some disappeared, some died, and some spent the rest of their lives here."
"How do we believe that what you said is true and not just a few words you got from other people to deceive us?" Wang Banxian asked unceremoniously.
The forearm on his left hand has disappeared, replaced by the muzzle of a particle accelerator cannon as thick as a thigh.
The muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at the old man's head, and the intense orange-red heat was ready to go.
The old man immediately raised his hands with a wry smile: "Two, two, don't be nervous. Our Lantern Club has retained some of the last words written by [players] and [travelers] on paper. You two gentlemen can come with me to check. The remaining one Sir, he must be a local, right? You can go and rest earlier, or..."
He looked back at Lu Wenwu, the person in charge, and the meaning of the second half of his unfinished sentence was somewhat unclear.
Liu Lin'an: "?"
Is there anything else I have to do here?
Confusion was written on his face.
