The Engineering Tower.
The 63rd floor.
The living quarters.
In Ah Deng's office.
The Great Engineer Ah Deng was dressed neatly. There was no secretary or female student in the office. He was leisurely making black tea.
All of a sudden.
"Why is this name all scratched out?"
"Pfft … Cough, cough, cough …"
Ah Deng was so shocked that he spat out the tea he had just drunk.
He almost choked to death.
After coughing for a long time, Ah Deng turned around in shock and saw Irin, the "Explosive Student", who had appeared behind him at some point in time. His eyes widened, and his expression was as if he had seen something unscientific.
"You, you, you, when did you come in?"
"Just now."
"But I thought I locked the door …"
"You didn't lock it."
"But I thought I …"
Irin sighed. "I think you don't want to see the news that the Great Engineer Ah Deng is suffering from Alzheimer's disease and severe brain damage spread throughout the Engineering Academy within an hour, right?"
"Oh, I remember now. I forgot to lock the door."
Ah Deng looked at the door not far away, which had not been opened at all, and said against his will.
Irin did not continue to dwell on such details. He slowly walked around in a circle and stopped in front of Ah Deng. He stood between Ah Deng and the "door".
This was the only door to leave the office.
There was also a hidden exit under the crystal ornament on the right.
Irin knew it like the back of his hand. He blocked all the exits to prevent Ah Deng from running away.
* Smack. *
Irin slapped the shabby "World History" book, which had a few missing paragraphs, on the table. He smiled kindly and repeated the question that Ah Deng did not hear clearly not long ago.
This time, Irin's tone was very polite.
"May I ask, my respected instructor, why is this name all scratched out?"
Ah Deng wiped the tea from the corner of his mouth.
He lowered his head and looked.
When he saw the book in Irin's hand clearly, his eyebrows twitched, and he muttered in a low voice, "So this book is on the 54th floor …"
"Hmm?"
"Uh, I mean, why are you suddenly interested in 'world history'?"
Irin shook his head and stared into the great engineer's eyes. He said slowly, "I'm not interested in 'history'. What I'm interested in is the two words that haven't been removed in time."
"Evil God."
Ah Deng was stunned and fell silent.
A few seconds later, Ah Deng wiped the sweat on his forehead and muttered to himself, "So, it's not all gone …"
Irin: "…"
"Eh …" A 'Deng suddenly winked and smiled. He reached out to take the book from the table and said, "Actually, this book is too old. There's nothing much to say about it. Why don't we …"
Irin did not stop Arden from snatching the book. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a kind smile.
"If the director finds out that you're secretly looking at 'bunny girl portraits' …"
“？”
"If the vice dean's wife finds out that you often peek at the tight little buttocks of the female students in the courtyard during the day …"
"What the f * ck?" Ah Deng was furious. He slammed the table and stood up. He was so angry that his beard was trembling. His voice trembled. "You, you, you dare to peek at me? When did I peek at the buttocks? I was looking at the legs! "
Irin sighed again. "You even have the director's wife —"
* Clap. *
Ah Deng held Irin's hand tightly. His action was fast and his grip was firm. They looked like lovers who would never leave each other.
"Let me tell you in detail."
…
…
Ah Deng was helpless.
He could only start the class again for the "explosive student" who had avoided him for many days.
This time, it was "world history".
He touched his face subconsciously.
It had just recovered.
There was no Circuit practice in this class. Perhaps, perhaps, there would not be any more accidents.
Ah Deng drew a "circle" on the blackboard.
He wrote a string of words in the circle.
[Uranus].
"Although I've always told you to believe in science, you should know that 'gods' exist in this world."
Irin raised her hand and answered, "Uranus."
"Correct answer," Ah Deng praised. He drew seven small dots in the circle and explained, "At the beginning of the world's creation, the god 'Uranus' created this world above the clouds with seven giant mythological beasts. These seven giant mythological beasts are: Gaia, Ioros, Bolos, Patagonia, Aurora, and Poseidon. "
Irin kindly reminded him, "Teacher, you only said six giant mythological beasts."
Ah Deng suddenly fell silent.
"The director's wife …"
"Ahem, forget it. There's nothing to hide. The seventh giant mythological beast is the two words that didn't have time to be removed from 'world history'. It represents the 'ultimate darkness of the world' … the evil god. "
The moment he said the words, Ah Deng subconsciously looked around. No one knew what he was looking at.
"Why was it removed?"
"Because," Ah Deng saw that nothing special happened after he said the two words. He secretly sighed in relief and continued, "Two thousand years ago, in the year 1333, legend has it that there was a 'war of the gods' in the world. The seventh giant mythological beast was dissatisfied with Uranus's rule over the world and launched a war against the gods."
"The details of that war have been lost in history. But the only thing we know is that before the 'war of the gods' happened, there were no 'demons' in the world. But the blood of the seventh giant mythological beast was scattered all over the world and turned into all kinds of demons. "
Irin lowered her head and thought. She whispered to herself, "So this is the setting of the final boss."
"Hmm?"
Ah Deng didn't hear clearly. "What did you say?"
"Nothing, I said so this is the case …" Irin swiped her finger and opened the interface. She stared at the current target of the 'main quest' and continued to extract information from Ah Deng. "So, where is this awesome giant mythological beast now?"
"It's gone."
Irin was stunned.
'What?
The boss is gone?
Then who am I going to farm? '
"You're gone?"
Ah Deng glared fiercely at Irin. He sorted out the subject and verb-object of the sentence and repeated, "The seventh giant mythological beast has fallen!"
"…"
After this class, Irin repeatedly asked Ah Deng, but he refused to change his confession.
Irin even threatened to build a total of 108 large-scale 'loudspeaker circuits' in every corridor of the building and sing all of Ah Deng's secrets a hundred times. But Ah Deng simply said, "This is the truth. You can kill me!"
Yi Lin couldn't make up her mind about whether or not she should really let this poor old man die out of society.
It was not easy to fall in love at dusk.
What a pure and flawless spiritual partner.
In fact, Ah Deng was just secretly chatting with the dean's wife.
Irin thought about it and decided to let Ah Deng go for now.
After all, Irin still had a lot of knowledge that she needed Ah Deng to answer.
"Is the final boss really dead?"
"Wait a minute …"
Irin opened the [Mission] Panel again.
The content of the main mission was still the same.
In other words, the information he had obtained so far was not enough to complete the current mission.
[Current Mission Objective: Find more clues about the Evil God.]
Irin rubbed the space between his eyebrows gloomily.
'More clues? System, please explain the mission more clearly. How many clues do I have to find to complete the mission?
If this goes on, won't it take forever? '
Although Irin was enjoying this game very much.
It was not unacceptable that he could not leave this place for a while.
But Irin did not forget that he still did not know the situation of his body in the 'real world'.
What if there was not enough energy in the cockpit?
What if there was a power outage in the real world?
Or what if there was a natural or man-made disaster in the 'real world' where he was.
Then wouldn't he be dead?
Returning to the real world was the only 'main mission' that Irin urgently needed to complete.
…
…
Knowing that time was tight, Irin compressed his rest time and tried his best to squeeze out as much free time as possible. He soaked himself in the 54th floor of the library, memorizing the various books on the 'study of crystal runes', as well as the key points, difficulties, and test points of the various crystal runes examinations.
It was not important that he could not fully understand it for the time being. He believed that in practical application, as long as he firmly remembered the knowledge, he would be able to master everything very quickly.
Irin sat on the bare floor of the library.
The floor was spotless.
Irin stretched out a finger. While thinking, he subconsciously made gestures on the floor, simulating the construction of various functional circuits.
In a split second, Irin recalled standing at the top of the Church's branch in Isita Port, in the center of the seven huge white crystals. He had personally witnessed the entire process of the mysterious and complicated circuit starting and stopping.
At that time, Irin had seen it and only felt that it was somewhat interesting. After learning the 'study of crystal runes' systematically, he recalled the 'circuit' again, but he had a different idea.
"It's strange. That 'circuit' seems to be understood in many places, but when it's connected, I have no idea how it works. Just that one circuit can generate a defensive shield that can cover a large port city out of thin air? "
"If I'm not wrong, that circuit is made up of seven main cores, fifty-six secondary cores, and countless' nodes' and 'lines'. But according to normal circumstances, just seven main cores and fifty-six secondary cores are not enough to provide the 'energy' needed for the defensive shield. "
"Complete?"
Irin's mind seemed to have a flash of inspiration as he carefully chewed on these two words.
That's right!
That circuit was incomplete.
It always gave Irin a feeling that 'something was missing'.
"In the study of crystal runes, the most fundamental law to construct a circuit is the 'tightness' and 'integrity' of the circuit. An incomplete circuit, the crystal energy cannot circulate. Right, just like 'electricity', if it does not form a tight 'circuit', there is no way to generate electric current. "
"Although the study of crystal runes is a black technology in the game world, it should have a similar principle. Wait, what is this … "
Irin was originally sitting on the floor.
Every bright and clean tile on the floor was engraved with decorative patterns.
"This is …"
Irin's expression became serious. He carefully pushed aside a few bookshelves nearby, cleared out an empty space, and then carefully studied the texture on the tiles.
"I remember that the map of Isita Port seems to be …"
Irin closed his eyes.
Not long ago, because of the convenience of moving around, Irin took out the map of Isita Port that he had memorized in his mind and carefully recalled it.
Irin sat alone in the library.
There was no one else here except for him.
Irin was motionless, like a sculpture.
If it were not for Irin's chest, which was still rising and falling in a fixed rhythm, someone might have accidentally broken into the 54th floor of the library at this time and mistakenly thought that the legendary 'explosive student' who had blown up several floors of the Engineering Tower had suddenly died in the library due to mental and physical exhaustion.
After an unknown period of time.
Irin suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.
"I understand."
