Void Jigsaw Puzzle
Chapter 21 Pierce's Motives
"Pierce found a real problem, but gave a false answer..." Guo Ling pondered over Zhong Chenmu's words.
The more I listen, the more interesting it becomes.
He looked Zhong Chenmu in the eye and said, "You can't completely believe this 'incomplete civilization' theory just because of this novel or that old man's words. Regardless of whether this is the old man's original work or just his reproduction, you must have more evidence besides the disappearance of your parents. Tell us and we promise not to tell anyone else."
Zhong Chenmu glanced at him and said, "One of you is over 20 years older than me, and the other is over 10 years older. If you had said this to me ten years ago, you definitely had no good intentions, just trying to trick a few words of truth out of a seven-year-old kid... But now, it doesn't hurt to say it. After all, I am your savior, and besides, uncle, you still have something on me."
Fan Ting's eyes lit up, and she looked Guo Ling up and down: "Oh? What handle?"
Guo Ling: “…”
Zhong Chenmu said, "In fact, ever since the day my parents disappeared, which was also the day I met you, uncle, I've often felt like I was being watched and watched. I wonder if you've ever experienced this?"
Guo Ling shrugged: "No."
Fan Ting teased: "Are you sure that's not your little fan girl following you?"
"Not really... because later I personally encountered the person who was spying on me, and I'm sure he was from outside Wuming City."
Zhong Chenmu decided to conceal the fact that he had eavesdropped on the conversation between Pierce and Qingnian, and for the time being, he also decided not to mention the fact that he could see the cracks. After all, it involved his own system, which was a core secret. Moreover, he had first seen the cracks when he rescued Fan Ting in Ma'anshan, and he still didn't know how to trigger the mechanism.
As for meeting Qingnian, there was nothing to hide. If it was true as the silver-haired man said, he might be found at any time, so it would be better to bring more teammates to give him courage.
"Outside Wuming City..." Fan Ting muttered, and at the same time scanned Zhong Chenmu several times, as if to see if there was anything missing.
"Don't worry, we didn't have any conflict."
"I'm curious about what they look like and what you talked about," said Guo Ling.
"They... look pretty much like us, with a head, facial features, limbs, and a torso. The biggest difference is their hair is very smooth silver, and their feet are suspended in the air."
"Floating in the air?" Guo Ling's eyes widened. "You mean, their feet are off the ground?"
"Yes, and they also disappear suddenly. That person didn't say a few words to me before disappearing without a trace."
Fan Ting exclaimed, "So powerful? If they are hostile to us, wouldn't we be in danger?"
"Based on our initial contact, I felt alright. Listening to what he said, combined with the theory we just deduced, perhaps our survival in Nameless City was due to them receiving and reconstructing the data signal sent from Earth. So, he told me very directly: they are our saviors. At the time, I didn't understand why he said that, but now I understand. And if that's true, they have no motive to harm us. Otherwise, when they received the signal, they should have simply ignored it. Why go to all this trouble?"
"That makes sense, but after all, he comes from outside Wuming City and comes and goes without a trace. It's really too uncertain, and we all like certainty," said Guo Ling.
"So we still need to stay in the Prophet Society and see what Professor Pierce will do."
"You mean, he has also discovered and even come into contact with people outside of Wuming City... civilization?"
"I'm just guessing, but I have no evidence..." Zhong Chenmu felt a little guilty when he said this, and quickly continued, "Otherwise, why would he adjust the Prophet Society's slogans and slogans?"
"He just made it very clear on this point, saying that theories must be changed and adjusted based on actual conditions," Fan Ting added.
Guo Ling continued to ask: "Then why do you say he gave a false answer?"
"If the 'incomplete civilization' theory just mentioned is true, then we came from a place called Earth in the universe long ago. Nameless City is only a part of this civilization. As for how much of the original complete civilization this part constitutes, I don't know. But this involves where we come from. Isn't it very important to understand our own origins? He never mentioned it to us. Not only did he take credit for inventing this theory, but he also concealed this crucial fact. At first, he exploited our eagerness to find our loved ones to accumulate popularity. But now, he advocates that we 'get rid of the incomplete civilization' instead of completing it, and no longer mentions the search for our loved ones. Isn't this irresponsible?"
After saying this long paragraph, Zhong Chenmu felt dry mouth and tongue.
He looked around and found several boxes of bottled water under the stool. He walked over, took out a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down half of it.
Only then did he notice that the four-digit number "1100" appeared in his mind again.
Emitting green light.
This undoubtedly gave him great encouragement.
"It seems that the speculations so far are all heading in the right direction..."
After listening to Zhong Chenmu's analysis, Guo Ling and Fan Ting thought carefully, then looked at each other and nodded.
For some reason, they developed a certain dependence on this 17-year-old boy, feeling that he always came up with some convincing ideas.
"It would be great if my child could become like him in the future..." Guo Ling thought.
"If only I could meet someone like him when I was young..." This was Fan Ting's thoughts.
After drinking the water, Zhong Chenmu looked up and saw Guo Ling and Fan Ting staring at him with inexplicable smiles on their faces. He shuddered, "What are you looking at?"
"Ahem..." Guo Ling coughed, cleared his throat, and said, "You haven't finished yet. If he gave a false answer, what should the correct answer be?"
Zhong Chenmu shrugged. "How should I know? I don't have a God's perspective. However, although I think he gave a false answer, he should still be seriously trying to answer this question. His motivation should be fine... So, I suggest we continue to stay in the Prophet Society and see what they are going to do..."
Just as the two were about to nod, they heard a soft voice coming from behind them.
"Xiao Zhong, I see you're here already. The president was just looking for you everywhere."
