They went in a team of twelve, and when they came back there were eleven.
Marco was the only one who died in "Boundless Karma".
The death rate in the S-level difficulty "world" is already very high, and it is normal to lose personnel. Only one person died is already a very good result.
If it hadn't been for Ji Thrush's message, although Binglao would have asked the person concerned about the cause of Marco's death afterwards, he probably wouldn't have suspected Baroque and the tattoo.
"I do not know."
Season Thrush replied:
"The two groups of us acted separately in the maze, without any connection with each other."
He spread his hands, "So, I'm not sure what happened to you."
Icegrain nodded.
Judging from his expression, the white-haired youth didn't seem surprised by this answer.
Although he hasn't known Ji Thrush for a long time, it's only been less than two months.
But for some reason, Ji Xiaoniao has a trustworthy temperament, and it turns out that he has never let down the trust of his companions.
Admittedly, it was Quarter Thrush who pointed out that Baroque was the mole, and apart from his self-proclaimed "regression in time", there is no substantial evidence for this.
Even so, in the face of the sharp and straightforward questioning of the ice sleet, the quarter thrush did not add any subjective assumptions to Baroque.
—Don’t know just don’t know.
Ji Xiaoniao's calm attitude makes people feel that he is not lying.
In fact, when Ji Thrush said that he had gone through the maze twice, Binglu felt a sudden sense of enlightenment.
In this way, what he thought was inconsistent before suddenly became explainable.
As a participant who has personally entered the maze of the Fanhua Palace, Binglu has confidence in the abilities of himself and his companions.
Everyone he brought, even Su Rong and the manipulator, who were relatively weak in combat effectiveness, were all experienced first-class players who had cleared the S-level difficulty "World" many times in the entire "Peach Blossom Spring".
He admitted that there is indeed a gap between him and the "Lanling King" in strength, and even he himself does not know how big the gap is, maybe it is only a thin line, or it may be a natural moat that cannot be closed in his whole life.
However, what "Vatican" arranged for them was a huge three-story three-dimensional maze.
In addition to overwhelming fighting power and keen observation skills, breaking through a maze largely depends on extraordinary luck.
Therefore, Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo were able to quickly clear the level much faster than the other teams. Apart from good luck, perhaps the only possibility left was "because they knew the way to clear the level in advance". up.
Thinking of this, Binglu quietly let out a sigh of relief.
Binglu clearly remembers that just before leaving "Boundless Karma" and returning to "Peach Blossom Land", he and Zero were trapped in the deepest part of the mirror house, fighting the monsters hiding in the mirror.
In order to protect him, Zero was stabbed dozens of times, his whole body became a blood gourd, and he was already dying.
If it was delayed for another half a minute... no, in ten or so seconds, Zero would really be dead.
Therefore, it can be said that if Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo hadn't cleared the level in time and allowed Zero to return to the "Peach Blossom Land" when he was dying, then the current ice hail has lost his shadow, his closest and most loyal companion, and his bust.
Icegrain is actually very grateful to them.
In addition, Ice Grain did not tell Ji Thrush about their situation at that time, but Ji Xiaoniao clearly pointed out the approximate time of Zero's death when recalling the timeline of his first breakthrough.
Binglao thought about it in his mind, and it was indeed almost the time when the two of them were in the Mirror Castle.
Such superimposition of hatchbacks proves the credibility of Ji Xiaoniao's rhetoric of "going back in time".
So Ice Grain uncovered the stubble of Marco's death, and asked carefully about the details of the last contact between the quarter-thrush and Baroque.
Ji Xiaoniao didn't hide it either.
He explained in detail how he noticed Baroque's abnormality, and how he and Ren Jianmo designed to lure the other party to tear off the disguise.
"Because time was tight at the time, Mr. Ren only asked him two questions."
Ji Thrush finally added.
Binglao frowned, and tapped twice on the table with his fingers.
Among these limited information, he knew at least two intelligences.
The first is that Baroque can indeed obtain another person's ability by some means, and the second is that Baroque has murderous intentions towards him.
— This is enough.
Icegrain nodded.
He will not let go of the cancer that dares to plot against him and his team.
He will investigate everything to the bottom, and then let the traitors get what they deserve.
"Thank you for telling me this."
Binglang picked up the two halves of the little paper figurines on the table, put them back in his pocket, and slightly changed his sitting posture.
"Then, as a thank you."
The white-haired youth said:
"Let me also tell you what I know."
Ji Thrush, Mo Tiangen and the Fan family siblings looked at him together.
Icegrain asked:
"How much do you know about Mr. Ren's past?"
Ji Thrush widened his eyes: "What are you referring to?"
"Mr. Ren entered the 'Peach Blossom Spring' in the same batch as us, and it has only been half a year now."
Teacher Dagen also frowned:
"Besides being too strong, what's the 'past'?"
He touched his chin, "Could it be that he was a big star before?"
"Although I don't know why he appeared in the same newbie 'world' as you guys."
Binglu shook his head, and told the information he had inquired from the whalebill stork.
"However, there is no doubt that Mr. Ren is the strongest person in the 'Taohuayuan' who has been missing for a long time, the 'King of Lanling'."
&&& &&& &&&
June 17, at 8:15 in the morning.
Apartment building, Wisteria Room 0010.
"Hey."
Ren Jianmo, who was sitting at the dining table eating breakfast, suddenly spoke.
A black cat got out from behind the corner of the sofa, and jumped onto the chair opposite him silently.
"Is that person still there?"
Ren Jianmo omitted the subject.
"exist."
The black cat answered.
Hearing this answer, Ren Jianmo's right hand holding the knife paused obviously, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"..."
He was silent for a few seconds and asked:
"When did it start?"
The artificial intelligence still understood the owner's endless question, and quickly gave an answer.
"Since five thirty in the morning."
Ren Jianmo's table knife cut open the soft-boiled egg, and the tip hit the bone china plate, making a crisp and loud "dang" sound.
The golden, semi-set egg yolk slowly flowed out and gathered at the edge of the saucer, forming a beautiful crescent-shaped pattern.
"..."
Ren Jianmo put down the knife and fork, stood up, and walked straight to the window.
He reached out and touched the control panel.
The deep ocean outside the window faded in an instant, revealing what a piece of ordinary floor-to-ceiling glass should look like.
Ren Jianmo looked out through the window glass.
The apartments where the participants live are like hanging boxes on the cableway, hanging on the iron cables, and every minute and every second is surrounded by a thick pillar, following the long and continuous "∞"-shaped trajectory Repeatedly.
The room where Ren Jianmo lived was walking to the middle of the pillar at this time, and it was barely under the clouds, so it wouldn't be so white that you couldn't see anything outside.
It's just a pity that it is located on the back of the pillar. From the current angle, the entrance and exit of the apartment cannot be seen at all.
Ren Jianmo just stood motionless in front of the window, waiting patiently for fifteen minutes.
Finally, the room slowly turned to the front of the pillar.
It's just that when it turned its angle, its altitude also rose a bit, and it was already very close to the clouds, so Ren Jianmo could only see through a layer of white mist faintly, and the stars on the ground were smaller than the tip of a needle. He couldn't tell which one was the curly-haired kid who bothered him so much.
Before coming to "Peach Blossom Spring", Ren Jianmo spent most of his 24 years in the research institute.
Although in fact the research institute is not harsh on him.
In order for the precious experimental individual to have a complete and healthy personality, the research institute will use "scientific" methods to cultivate him from childhood to adulthood, including appropriate social and social contacts.
After he turned eighteen, the institute no longer restricted his movements as a "guardian".
Ren Jianmo was allowed to come in and out of the institution at will, like an ordinary office worker, with working days and rest days, and in his spare time, he could go wherever he wanted.
On the surface, he seems to have become a normal person.
But Ren Jianmo knew very well that he had never been truly free.
On the spinous process of his sixth cervical vertebra, there is an electronic chip the size of a grain of rice.
The chip has three functions.
First, it can monitor the host's vital signs anytime and anywhere. Second, it is a clear monitoring system that can record, upload and analyze any sound around him in real time. Third, it can accurately locate the host, even if it goes to the sky, They can't escape the tracking of the research institute.
If Ren Jianmo made any changes, whether he was trying to reveal the secrets of his life experience or workplace, or trying to escape from the control of the research institute, the chip would release a sufficient amount of nerve paralyzing toxin within one-tenth of a second, allowing him to recover on the spot. Lost consciousness.
It's not that Ren Jianmo can't take out the chip, he just doesn't think it's necessary.
He has nothing to do, no one to see, no place to go.
It's like a wild animal born and raised in a zoo, used to being in a cage, and doesn't want to go back to the wild.
To Ren Jianmo, it doesn't make any difference whether he is in the research institute or in any corner of the world.
…
"Tsk."
He gasped in a low voice.
Then, as if Ren Jianmo suddenly realized how ridiculous his behavior standing by the window was, he reached out and wiped the floor-to-ceiling window to restore the holographic projection of the deep sea, and returned to the dining table, continuing to eat his share of the cold food. breakfast.
