"What about the rest?"
Shi Xiaobai forced himself to change the topic. It was enough to experience his troubles and pain by himself.
However, for some reason, no one answered this casual question.
Shi Xiaobai was shocked to find that the paper farmer and Feng Yuanlin suddenly lowered their heads and avoided his gaze. Ye Wuqing remained expressionless but also remained silent.
what's the situation
"Did something happen?"
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly, then suddenly laughed and said, "Why aren't you answering? Could it be that everyone else has been approved by the trial program and has passed the eighth level?"
"Boss Shi Xiaobai, they..." Feng Yuanlin was a little panicked when asked, and was about to speak, but the paper farmer beat him to it.
"Shi Xiaobai, you really didn't check the relevant information before entering the tower. There is only one person on the seventh floor who can obtain the approval of the trial program. If there is a trialist who obtains the approval of the trial program and passes to the eighth floor, then other trials It is common sense that all refiners will be forcibly removed from the trial tower. Since we are still in the Demon Palace, naturally no one has passed the seventh level trial." The papermaker glanced at it and almost had "panic and guilty conscience" written on his face. Feng Yuanlin said slowly.
After receiving the "eyes" from the paper farmers, Feng Yuanlin finally realized that they "shouldered" the heavy responsibility of concealing the cruel truth from boss Shi Xiaobai, and quickly pretended to be calm and echoed: "Ha... Ha, Shi Xiaobai. The boss is really good at joking. It is not that easy to get approved by the trial process. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "difficult to reach the sky". After all, there are only three great heroes in history: Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai and Conqueror King. Forcing characters to pass.”
Feng Yuanlin just echoed the paper farmer's words casually, but these unintentional words made Shi Xiaobai's eyes widen suddenly.
Only Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai and Conqueror King
"Only these three?"
Shi Xiaobai asked in shock.
When Feng Yuanlin saw Shi Xiaobai looking at him, his hands were shaking nervously. Oh my god, lying is what he is worst at. What should he do
The paper farmer rolled his eyes and felt a little headache. Shi Xiaobai just asked an irrelevant question casually, and Feng Yuanlin showed a guilty expression like a criminal being questioned. If this continues, Shi Xiaobai may You will notice something strange about Feng Yuan Scale.
The paper farmer thought of this and quickly interjected: "The Nine-turn Extraordinary Tower is a notoriously difficult place for trials. The requirements for passing the seventh level are as difficult as climbing to the sky for trialists in the spiritual realm. According to historical data According to records, since the tower was built, the only humans who have cleared the seventh floor are Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai and the Conqueror King. These three are all famous figures in history, which shows the gold content of the Nine-turn Extraordinary Tower. Although a few of us have been It's called the 'Supernova of Xia Kingdom', but it's still far from clearing the seventh level. Only monsters like you and... Li Wuyu have a chance."
When the three words "Li Wuyu" came out of his mouth, the paper farmer's expression couldn't help but stiffen, Feng Yuanlin turned his head in panic, and even Ye Wuqing's eyes changed slightly, half lying on the sofa The demon queen on top showed a joking smile.
The atmosphere became a little weird at this time.
But Shi Xiaobai did not notice anything unusual, because his mind was not on that. Due to Feng Yuanlin's unintentional change of the topic and the paper farmer's deliberately concealed and overly detailed explanation, his thoughts were filled with doubts that kept coming. Full.
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "What about the fourth story? If I remember correctly, the King of Heroes once provoked a war between the three realms, killed three kings with one person, and was recognized by the trial process. Created the most exciting fourth story, right?”
Didn’t you tell me this story
Shi Xiaobai frowned slightly.
"hero King?"
The paper farmer also frowned,
"Indeed, the King of Heroes is the most likely to become the fourth person to be recognized by the trial process in the past three thousand years. His talent and strength are no worse than Ji Feng, Xu Taibai and the Conqueror King, and are even slightly better than them. However, Unexpectedly, the King of Heroes stopped at the seventh floor. No one knows what happened to the King of Heroes on the seventh floor at that time, and it is still an unsolved mystery."
The paper farmer sighed, with a trace of regret in his eyes.
Shi Xiaobai opened his mouth slightly, but did not ask again. He lowered his head and frowned to think.
The paper farmer spoke accurately, and Ye Wuqing, Feng Yuanlin and others did not refute, which meant that the paper farmer was not lying. What's more, they had just told him the story of the hero king killing three kings not long ago, and How could you tell such a lie that could be exposed so easily
But his memory is not chaotic. Shi Xiaobai clearly remembers that Li Wuyu once said in the Dead Wasteland that the story of the King of Heroes is the most famous story of the Nine Transformations Transcendent Tower. Li Wuyu participated in the selection because he wanted to imitate this legendary story. . While in the Demon King's Palace, Liu Yu, Paper Farmer and Feng Yuanlin told him the story of the Hero King stealing the sacred objects of the Three Realms, provoking the Three Realms War, and finally killing the three kings with one person.
All these memories are so clear and real.
So why does this happen
Why are there such huge contradictions in the words of paper farmers
Shi Xiaobai would not be stupid enough to think that the paper farmer and Ye Wuqing Feng Yuanlin teamed up to deceive him. There must be a reason for this weird thing to happen.
In fact, he had already thought of two possibilities.
For one, his memory was tampered with.
Second, other people's memories have been tampered with.
If it is the former, then there is no need to continue reasoning, but this is the highest possibility.
But if it's the latter, the complexity of the matter is beyond imagination.
The former is actually more reasonable than the latter.
However, Shi Xiaobai hopes that the answer is the latter. His ideal answer is that the missing hero king is real. He traveled from three thousand years ago and changed history because of the changes he experienced. Therefore, other people’s opinions about that period of history The memory was also tampered with!
Just like someone uses a time machine to travel to the past and changes a certain event in the past, causing the world line to change, the future on the same world line will also change accordingly.
If the Li Chenxi he met was real, and she traveled from three thousand years to the present, and what happened now changed the past history, wouldn't other people's memories of that period of history change
Of course, this theory is completely opposite to "going back from the future to the past and changing the future". It is a completely inverted theory and is an unreasonable derivation of "going from the past to the future but changing the past".
Moreover, history has changed and other people's memories have been tampered with, but why his memory alone has not changed is a question that cannot be easily skipped.
Therefore, although Shi Xiaobai hoped it was the latter, he could not think of a reasonable theory to support it.
The only excuse is probably - time travel is an unreasonable thing, why do you have to make it reasonable
Shi Xiaobai, who inexplicably traveled from the earth to this different world, does not believe that everything must be pursued rationally.
It is also necessary to occasionally willfully believe in some unreasonable but more reasonable conjectures.
Shi Xiaobai's thoughts were confused, but they finally converged in the same direction, a result that he wanted to believe - the girl he liked was not a replica created by a program, but traveled from the past to the present, and then changed the past. "Weird", she disappeared from here and now, just returning to the world three thousand years ago.
Although three thousand years apart, the distance between them is still far away, but at least they are real, at least they live on the same world line.
That's fine.
A smile slowly appeared at the corner of Shi Xiaobai's mouth.
Even though there are three thousand years between them.
At least they were in the same world and missed each other.
So, very good.
