"It is clear that 488-13 exists and is not a complete tool, and it can also be used."
"According to eyewitnesses, 488-13 is a book, and what is written in it will become reality."
"According to the experiment, the ability of 488-13 is ■■■■■■■, which makes its ■■■■ unreliable. As long as you don't ■■■■■, the ability of this book can't actually cause any harm. It's also very easy to deal with. The holder is likely to ■■■■."
"In summary, it is judged that 488-13 is not dangerous."
"Regarding the owner of 488-13, the members of the action team have already determined the location of the other party, but the other party is very vigilant. Several negotiations have failed. The other party even planned to use 488-13 to interfere with the members of the action team, but because of ■■■■■■■■■■, the action team was not affected."
"The operation team has completed surveillance of 488--13 and its holder."
"Waiting for researchers to come and retrieve it."
“The specific location is as follows: ■■■■, ■■■■, ■■■■.”
... ... ... ... ... ..
Judging from the literal meaning alone, the causal-level weapons that seemed extremely terrifying to Gu Moli were actually not as exaggerated as he had imagined.
At least the people of the Empire have found the weakness of this abnormal object.
But here’s the thing.
All the crucial information is gone.
"This is too much! There's definitely something wrong!"
Logically speaking, after the data was burned by fire, the information produced should be more fragmented, and the sentences left behind should be semantically incoherent. However, the ones in his hands were different. At first glance, the sentences were complete, but they were missing key content.
Wasn't this arranged in advance
Could it be a coincidence
... .Um
Gu Moli was stunned. In his mind, the process of Elena being knocked unconscious by the jar due to a series of coincidences flashed through his mind: "Coincidence? Actually, it's not impossible, right?"
"Is it a coincidence created by that book?"
"If that's the case..."
Why does such a coincidence happen
If I were the owner of that book and found myself being targeted by researchers from the Empire, what would I do
The less courageous ones might run away.
What about the brave ones
Fight back
"Would it be possible to write in a book that I can't be caught, or that if someone wants to catch me, he will fail?"
"Because I wrote something like that, Elena, who wanted to capture the owner, was knocked unconscious, and an important part of her intelligence was lost. As a result, Elena, who had the ability to capture the owner, could no longer act, and I also fell into a state of losing intelligence."
"And everything was just a coincidence...?"
Is this possible
Gu Moli asked himself, and then came to the conclusion: Yes!
The owner of the book probably didn't know how he would be arrested, so he could only write in the book that I would not be arrested.
In this way, the power of the book will create all kinds of coincidences to protect him.
So if you want to find him, you can't target him.
Otherwise, even if you are close to success, you may still fail due to various unexpected events.
It should be... .
"That book, yes, I am not here to find the owner, I am here to find the book."
"Where is the book?"
Gu Moli once again looked through the remaining information in his hand.
"Has the task force negotiated with him? Has the task force been unaffected? Has the owner and the item been monitored? And they emphasized that they need to wait for researchers to come and retrieve it. Considering what Elena has repeatedly emphasized before, this mission will be very simple."
“Does this mean…?”
"... In fact, the owner has been locked up?"
"He shouldn't be able to move freely."
"right!"
Gu Moli gradually sorted out the current situation like peeling silk from a cocoon: "Something unexpected must have happened during this period. The people in the action team even lost contact."
Looking back at the previous conversation with Elena, it was obvious that the action team should come to pick them up.
But no one has shown up until now.
It must have been an accident.
But the holder did not escape.
This can be inferred on a causal level. If the holder has escaped, then when he writes "I will not be found" in the book, the coincidence created by the book should not erase the information about his specific location, because it no longer matters to him.
The person has left. What good can we do even if we know where the task force is holding him
This doesn't fit the setting of the book.
so... ..
"He must not have left yet!"
"So, all we have to do is find where the action team is holding him!"
"Where is he being held?"
The more Gu Moli thought about it, the more excited he became. He reviewed the intelligence again, and then looked at the only intact data: the map of Petra. Petra is so big, if it weren't for this map, it would be several times more difficult to find the owner... ..
... ..Um
Gu Moli paused, and his hand that was reaching for the map suddenly stopped.
That's not right.
If you want to find the owner, a map of Petra should be essential.
In other words... .
... .Why does this thing remain the same
According to my previous guess, this map should have been burned first, but why is it intact
Is it because the book believes that this map has no way to find its holder
Why? This is a map of the entire city!
Unless the owner is not in Petra at all, this map cannot be useless. And if the owner is not in Petra, Elena would not have brought herself here.
... asshole.
It's a contradiction.
Gu Moli rubbed his brows, feeling a bit overwhelmed. At the same time, he kept thinking in his mind, what kind of causal relationship could make the book conclude that the map could not affect its pursuit of the holder. It was impossible if it was not in Petra, but it was also unreasonable if it was in Petra.
Where is it
Gu Moli paced back and forth in the small room, with guesses popping up in his mind, but he denied them all. However, at this moment.
Click.
A soft sound was heard above his head, and Gu Moli subconsciously raised his head. What came into his sight was the alien electric light on the ceiling that was emitting a soft glow.
But at this moment.
“… ..!!!”
With a bang, the light in his eyes suddenly increased dozens of times!
The soft light instantly turned into a dazzling bright light! And then it completely deprived Gu Moli of his sight!
Then there was another crisp sound.
....What the hell!
His vision was taken away and the sound in his ears instantly magnified his fear, but Gu Moli made the most correct decision at the first moment.
He took a step back.
But when he stepped back, Gu Moli unexpectedly stepped on empty air. The wooden floor under his feet was probably because it had not been repaired for many years and had become extremely dilapidated. Gu Moli had walked back and forth so many times while thinking before, and the bearing capacity of this small piece of floor had already reached its limit.
This step back became the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Bang!
His foot crushed the wooden floor and even sank deeply into it. For a moment, Gu Moli was stuck and could not move at all!
Even though he couldn't see it, when he looked up at the sky, the whistling wind in his face made him understand.
Right above his head... something fell down!
Boom!
... ... ... ... ... ... ... .
The Book of Eidient
"There's another person! There's another person! Damn it! Those evil guys are still not going to let me go! He actually managed to escape the power of the book! He's looking for me!"
"I see!"
"In that case, don't blame me for being cruel...!"
"Cheng, just as I expected, this time, the person who is looking for me will suddenly die!"
Huhahahaha... ..No problem, my master, what you expect will come true, and that poor pursuer will die on the way to find you because of some accidents that seem bizarre at first glance but are actually completely logical!
