Chapter 296 The Lord of the Stars' Peeping
Lin Suixuan expanded the asymptotic domain, scanning all the people in the city, big and small. She replied to Zhao Yuxi with two words: "Not here."
"Besides me, how many ancients are there in the city?" Zhao Yuxi did not give up. It was not a big deal that the person she was looking for was not there. She could just change her target. Was there no other ancients in the city who had not joined the Institute and the Academy of Sciences?
"One."
"Are they from the Research Institute or the Academy of Sciences?"
Lin Suixuan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally said, "No."
Zhao Yuxi stared at the King of Dongting Lake's arm for a while. She actually answered this question? She didn't seem to be like this before.
"Don't think too much. I'll save you some time. Sooner or later you'll find out that the man is not from the Institute or the Academy of Sciences. I'll save you a few minutes. It's not a big deal."
It's not a big deal for me, but it may not be the case for you. When your image is completely different from the Star Lord in the eyes of the world, problems will arise. Zhao Yuxi kept these words in her heart and didn't express them at all. One day, the Star Lord will realize this. They are the monarchs of this era, and they will not be unaware of this. Besides, the Star Lord doesn't need her advice on what to do.
"Where is the Ancient One?"
"I won't tell you. Let's save some time and go straight to him."
"Wait a minute, is that person a Skyline Elder? How old is he?"
"Whether it is an empty line or not, you can judge for yourself. Age: 33."
Measure it yourself? For the Ancient One, as long as he intends to check whether the other party is a hollow line Ancient One, most of them can quickly get the correct answer. For her, she has perception and cellular vision. She can collect information through various channels. Whether the other party is a hollow line, she can almost tell at a glance. However, 33 years old is a bit old.
"I see. Thank you. Let's go check out the Ancient One."
Lin Suixuan used the elemental interfusion to take this immature but mature spokesperson to meet the ancient. She was looking forward to the scene when the two met.
She saw that the man was not the Skyline Ancient, and their meeting and communication would be very interesting. If the Ancient could be ten years younger, it would be even more interesting, and perhaps his strength would be even stronger.
But nothing is perfect in the world. As long as it is not an empty line, it is fine. If it is an empty line, there is nothing to expect. As far as she knows, Zhao Yuxi has always been indifferent to the empty line ancients.
Zhao Yuxi met the strange ancient man.
There was no such person in the information Jiang Mengxi gave. Jiang Mengxi's investigation only involved a small number of obvious ancients. Some of the ancients did not frequently display the abilities of their stage in daily life. In addition, they were lucky and avoided the observation of the Star Lord's spokesperson, so their information was little known.
The little-known ancients should be easier to communicate with, right?
Xie Chenghong was sitting on the steps of a bookstore reading a book. He was concentrating, but in the process, his asymptotic domain was expanding, and he heard two people walking towards him.
He looked up and saw two young girls. Were they here to read books or buy books? Or were they here to take a photo and post it on their social media? It was possible. The age difference between the two girls was quite large. Were they sisters? However, what did it matter to him whether they were sisters or not?
Xie Chenghong lowered his head and continued to read. He saw a line of colorful words: Are you an ancient? This line of words was engraved on the blank space of the page, blending into the book.
Xie Chenghong could no longer remain calm. He looked up again and saw that the two men were getting closer to him.
Zhao Yuxi asked him: "Yes or no?"
It was around this time that Zhao Yuxi finished reading what this person had done in recent days and came to a conclusion related to asymptotes: his asymptotes could convey information and influence people's hearts.
Xie Chenghong immediately thought of the person who asked him the question, probably also an ancient one. It was unknown whether the girl next to her was an ancient one, but she was definitely not an ordinary person. In fact, ancient people and ordinary people are very similar. When they don't use asymptotes and asymptotic domains, there is almost no difference between the two.
He lied, "No."
Another line of words appeared on the paper: You look very much like an Ancient One, I don't think I'm mistaken.
Zhao Yuxi left him some leeway. These words fell on the book, unknown to outsiders. When the conversation was over, outsiders would not know that the person flipping through the book was an ancient, nor would they know that the person asking him questions was an ancient.
"Is it or is it not?" Zhao Yuxi asked the question again. If she got a lie again this time, she would leave.
Lin Suixuan was looking at the ancient with her eyes: At what moment in your life did you need this asymptote the most? At what moment, what thought in your mind made you choose this asymptote? What kind of help did your asymptote bring you? How did you use the asymptote? In what circumstances did you use it? How many times did you use it? Do you think it was right to do so?
There are answers to these questions. The lower the force, the less secret the corresponding asymptote will be in the eyes of the Star Master.
Lin Suixuan was not sure how Zhao Yuxi viewed him, but in her heart, she had a clear view of this person: this person was a friend, not an enemy. As an ancient, it was rare to find someone willing to stay in a remote area and sit on the steps. Like Zhao Yuxi, she definitely did not want to live such a life. Even if he was pretending, he had been pretending for more than a year, and he could probably pretend for another year. As long as he pretended long enough, he could "become" whoever he wanted to be.
Xie Chenghong had a strong intuition: there was more than one person staring at him. The girl who didn't speak was not simple either. She was like a mountain, looking very high and stable. Maybe one day, this mountain would collapse, and the people in the mountain and below would face a catastrophe.
Yes or no, the other party asked the question the first time, perhaps to get an answer, but the second time, that means the answer is already there. However, does the fact that the other party already has an answer mean that he must tell the truth? He is still hesitating.
In a flash, Xie Chenghong thought of many things: If the girl was not an ancient, would he dare to answer the question truthfully? Is there any risk in expressing his identity as an ancient in front of an ancient? When lies are meaningless, will continuous lying lead to greater disasters? What is the person who did not speak thinking? When will the catastrophe strike? Can answering the questions truthfully avoid disaster?
"Yes. What can I do for you?"
"Yes. Let's talk somewhere else. Use the elemental dissolution and come with us." Then, Zhao Yuxi looked at Lin Suixuan, "I'm not familiar with this place. Please help me find a quiet place. A place where I won't be disturbed or found by outsiders."
"I'll send you the map, and you can find the location yourself. I can't help you make a choice." Taking her on a long journey, telling her information, these are not important, but helping her take the ancient away will affect the original development process of things. Zhao Yuxi can influence it at will, but she can only enter the scene under specific circumstances and dial the process of things back to a specific path.
"it is good."
