This is the last and only successor of the Niyuan martial arts, and she has reached the level of the golden elixir of martial arts, so she should be able to predict the future for a short period of time.
"This prediction of the future is not the same as you imagine. It is more like intuition. What's more, I am not practicing the martial arts technique that my sister practices. I am practicing another martial arts technique that is more suitable for me. The martial arts technique that my sister practices is too difficult. My sister's talent is not weak, but it is because of practicing that technique that she has always stayed at the stage of martial arts Qi Condensation. And that technique has not been passed down because my sister did not tell me."
Cheng Youmeng said in a low voice.
Whenever she thought of her sister, her heart was filled with self-blame and hatred towards Gu Ran.
Although some of the powerful people present did not quite believe this statement, they did not show it on the spot, but secretly memorized this magical skill.
Cheng Youmeng could probably sense what other people were thinking, but what she said was indeed true.
The comment about the elder sister just now was what Gu Ran said to her, and the martial arts technique suitable for her was also given to her by her elder sister through Gu Ran.
The others thought that since Cheng Youmeng didn't want to say more, they could ask other people, so they asked Xue Xiling about the Tyrant's ruins instead.
Although they all called Gu Ran a tyrant, there was no doubt that the ruins that Gu Ran was going to were built by a ruler more brutal than Gu Ran.
"This exploration was indeed very dangerous, because there were nine people in total who entered the ruins, including Gu Ran and I, but only three of them managed to get out in the end." Xue Xiling's face was gloomy, and she obviously remembered the bad experience at the beginning.
"Three people?"
Some people cried out in surprise, and it was obvious that they had not expected this journey to be so dangerous.
Xue Xiling: "Yes, there are three of us, Gu Ran, me, and another teacher and researcher from Lanxin University."
"There are still people like this? Who is it?"
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.
They had no doubt about Gu Ran and Xue Xiling's abilities, and the fact that both parties were here meant that both of them were alive and well after the exploration of the ruins on the light screen.
What they didn't expect was that there were other people who also managed to survive.
"Who is that person?" Everyone was talking about it.
"Wu Wang... is the teacher that Gu Ran met during his first class." Xue Xiling replied.
No one expected that it was him. They had quickly forgotten about this ordinary teacher, but unexpectedly he reappeared in their sight.
"He is the only one who survived? Where is he now? Why haven't we heard about his research results since then?" asked a strong man who paid more attention to the academic field.
Xue Xiling sighed and said, "Because he's crazy! A crazy person naturally can't do research anymore."
138. Is Starstone Technology a scam?! 4k
"Crazy?"
This answer surprised everyone.
"Why did you go crazy? What on earth did you encounter in the ruins?"
The strong men present couldn't wait to ask.
This time, the exploration of the ruins involved big figures like Gu Ran and Xue Xiling. At the same time, the ruins themselves were related to a former brutal ruler of Canglong City, which forced them to make some reasonable associations.
"After coming out of the ruins, Wu Wang seemed to have become a different person. He quickly changed from an absolute supporter of Starstone Technology to an absolute opponent of Starstone Technology. He was madly hostile to all the related achievements of Starstone Technology, and the phrase he said most often was—"
When Xue Xiling said this, her expression looked a little grim.
"What is it!?" The other strong men saw Xue Xiling stopped at the critical moment and immediately asked anxiously.
Don't keep people in suspense until the critical moment.
"The phrase he said most often was 'Xingshi Technology is a scam'! Sometimes he would yell and tell everyone he met, and sometimes he would mutter to himself when he was alone. In short, he was no longer able to continue his work as a researcher, and even had difficulty living a normal life. A few months later, he became emaciated and died of a serious illness."
Xue Xiling's words were like a bolt from the blue, shocking everyone present.
StarStone Technology is a scam? !
What's going on
You should know that the hundreds of years of development of Starstone Technology has brought about earth-shaking changes to mankind and has affected all aspects of human life.
For example, the city defense cannon that bombards the tide of ferocious beasts is the result of Star Stone technology. With the city defense cannon, the main city’s need for strong men is greatly reduced. In the past, every time a tide of ferocious beasts occurred, even if all the strong men were sent out, there were not enough people. But now, with the combination of various Star Stone weapons and the city defense corps, it is enough to resist the general level of ferocious beast tides.
Although the city defense corps costs a lot, it is undoubtedly much better than the previous situation where even huge costs could not necessarily train many top-level warriors.
As for other small aspects, such as Star Stone vehicles and Star Stone furniture, there are even more.
If Starstone Technology is a scam, then the convenience that humans enjoy today from Starstone Technology is not...
Thinking about this result, everyone couldn't help but feel cold and terrified.
"Principal Xue, is this true? Is Xingshi Technology really a scam?" someone asked nervously.
They were very worried that this horrible result was true, but they also felt that it was most likely false. After all, so many years had passed and nothing had happened when humans used Star Stone technology. This psychological dilemma caused complexity in the minds of everyone present.
"I don't know." Xue Xiling replied.
"have no idea?"
Everyone was not satisfied with this answer.
"Principal Xue, how could you not know? You were a member of the team that explored the ruins, and you are also the president of Lanxin University. You are the person who knows the most about Star Stone among humans. If you don't know, who else would know?"
"I really don't know what kind of scam it was. Who set it up? What was the purpose? What was the final outcome of the scam? Teacher Wu Wang didn't even tell me... Although I was part of the group that explored the ruins, I passed out at the last stage. At that time, only Gu Ran was still awake."
Xue Xiling's words made everyone rethink the matter.
"Hey, do you think Gu Ran's personality change started with this exploration of the ruins? You see, this ruins was built by a tyrant in Canglong City hundreds of years ago. He was extremely hostile to Star Stone Technology. Later, Gu Ran also became a tyrant and changed his attitude towards Star Stone Technology to some extent."
"You see, among us, some people have the impression that Gu Ran advocates Star Stone technology. This can be corroborated by the fact that Gu Ran on the light screen has been developing in this direction so far. However, some people have a different impression of Gu Ran, that is, he is also hostile to Star Stone technology. Not only does he no longer advocate Star Stone technology, he has even begun to restrict the development of some Star Stone technologies... Could this change be because of this exploration of the ruins, because of the tyrant from hundreds of years ago?"
Everyone was suddenly shocked. This speculation seemed to make sense...
However, there was a detail that everyone present did not notice, which was why everyone only saw one side of Gu Ran instead of both sides of him at the same time.
Xue Xiling looked quietly at the man in the triangular crystal cone with a complicated expression.
In fact, hasn't she also suspected this
In order to verify this conjecture, she went to him frantically to ask for confirmation, but in the end, his cold answer shattered all her expectations.
"Yes, I killed your father."
She would always remember the look on his face when he said this, so cold that it did not allow for any other emotion.
It was from this time on that she no longer had any illusions about him and all ties with him were severed.
"Think about the heritage of the mermaids you saw before. Could it be that Gu Ran was also influenced by the tyrant's soul for similar reasons?"
Someone recalled the mermaid heritage they had seen before and spoke up.
"It seems that this is indeed possible. If the soul can really exist for such a long time and can be absorbed by other people, then why can't this person be Gu Ran? But there is one thing that is suspicious. That is, the reason why Gu Ran went to explore the ruins was because the old principal forced him to go. Why did the old principal do this?"
This question stumped everyone.
Yes, why did Xue Yingsong do this
What does he know
"Even if Gu Ran was really influenced by that tyrant, he can't go back. So many innocent lives have been killed by him, right? He has probably already become that tyrant. There is no difference between us. If we eliminate Gu Ran, we will eliminate that tyrant."
Seeing that the atmosphere on the scene might change again, Lin Fan's people quickly jumped out to continue "correcting" it.
Because of the continuous slaps in the face before, Lin Fan no longer wants to be involved in the scene himself, so he just hinted to his most loyal subordinates to help him "guide public opinion" on the spot.
The results were good for two consecutive times without any problems, which made Lin Fan quite satisfied. He even regretted that he had personally taken action on the previous occasions. It felt like some kind of law of cause and effect. As long as he personally took action, things would often turn in the direction he did not want to see. But now that he did not take action personally, things turned in the direction that made him happy.
The scene suddenly fell silent again.
Yes, even if Gu Ran was really influenced by the tyrant hundreds of years ago, could they let Gu Ran go
Of course that's impossible.
Therefore, there is no need to continue discussing this issue, which will only put themselves in an embarrassing position.
They should just continue to watch quietly. Anyway, Gu Ran's memory will be exposed to them and they will know what happened in the first place.
... ...
In the light screen.
After Gu Ran met Cheng Cai Meng, he went shopping at the market in the inner city and then returned to Lanxin University.
Along the way, Gu Ran was still thinking about this strange bet.
The reason why he didn't agree verbally in the end was actually to find an excuse to go back on his word.
What bet? Did I agree to it? Think about it!
Because this matter was too strange, Gu Ran had to be a little careful.
Of course, if he won the bet in the end, he didn't plan to really do anything to her, because he felt that this might just be what she wanted and he would have an entanglement with her.
Even though he was thinking about a problem, Gu Ran was still able to avoid all obstacles like walking normally thanks to his ability to blend into the surrounding environment.
"Wait a minute, isn't she also a telepath?"
Gu Ran suddenly stopped.
"No, that's not right. If she is a telepath, then as a telepath, I must be able to feel her telekinesis, just like me and that old fox. When she said that... then she must have been using her ability, but I didn't feel her telekinesis. That's why I didn't immediately think of her as a telepath."
"Is it some strange supernatural power? Or some strange technique?"
For a moment, Gu Ran felt a little curious and interested in Cheng Caimeng.
