Chapter 75: Basic qualities of investigators

"Captain, don't drive me away..." Tang Xiaotian said urgently, "I must study hard and improve myself..."
Luo Feng suddenly asked, "Xiaotian, what is your investigator number?"
Tang Xiaotian was taken aback and replied, "My investigator number is: 23549."
"It's over 20,000 now?" Luo Feng said with a look of remembrance, "Then do you know how many investigators of the main are still active?"
"I heard from the teacher in the training center, there are less than a thousand people."
"876 people." Luo Feng said: "The serial number has been ranked to more than 20,000, and there are only more than 800 investigators still working. Do you know where the rest are going?"
Tang Xiaotian trembled in his heart and said, "All... are all dead?"
Luo Feng shook his head and said: "It's not so exaggerated. About half of them were sacrificed in their posts. The remaining half were either transferred to the logistics center or combat committee, or washed away their memories and returned to the real world. Very few betrayed. After the main betrayed the information of Liberty City, he fled to a certain plot world and hid him, enjoying the whole world that the main gave him. In that world he is a god, just like Kara, the creator of this illusion space."
Tang Xiaotian felt heavy. With more than 20,000 investigators, only 4% of the investigators continued to conduct investigations. The elimination rate and the death rate were astonishingly high.
"So, even if you are forced to change jobs, or wash away your memories and return to the real world, it is not an unacceptable tragedy."
Luo Feng said: "Even if the worst is the worst, the memory is washed away and expelled to reality, Liberty City will arrange for you to be a wealthy daughter and heir to a huge inheritance in reality, making you prosperous and wealthy and happy in your life."
"But...but...I really don't want to leave Liberty City"
Tang Xiaotian was a little tempted, but he still didn't want to leave Liberty City. What's more, the person who wanted to expel her in front of her was also the reason she had to stay.
"Do you know the biggest difference between you and Klein, Io, and Zhang Daniu?" Luo Feng asked.
Tang Xiaotian couldn't think of any essential difference between herself and those three guys. She had to answer again, and could only tentatively ask, "Am I a girl?"
Luo Feng shook his head and said: "I never distinguish between players by gender. Since you can't answer, I'll change the question. Why do you want to be a leading investigator?"
"Not because of you!"
Tang Xiaotian really wanted to shout out to him directly. If it weren't because she missed Luo Feng, who had saved her, how could she choose the most difficult alternate investigator when she chose her career?
But this reason is really ashamed to tell, she can only lie aggrievedly: "Because the main investigator is the most respected and best-paid profession in Liberty City..."
"This is the biggest difference between you and the three of them."
Luo Feng did not doubt that he had it, but was deceived by her, and continued: "Faced with my previous test of you, except for Zhang Daniu who may make mistakes due to intellectual factors, Io and Klein will both pass the test and see through. Illusion, the abyss jumped out of the illusion, looking straight at the reality."
"Why is this again?"
Tang Xiaotian asked puzzledly.
"Because the reasons why those three people became investigators of the main are similar to that of the lady sword spider, they don't want to live in the illusion world called'destiny' that is actually the'main god', and they are willing to exchange everything for the'truth'. Of course. , This lady sword spider may just be because she in the illusion world is not as good as she is in reality. If she becomes a water goblin, she might even want to stay in the illusion world."
Luo Feng said: "The more than 10,000 investigators of the Lord God who sacrificed all have this kind of awareness. They will not change until death. Faced with the temptation of the Lord God to give a big world, they will not be moved by the temptation of the Lord God to give the big world as much as possible. Back to the research institute, even if it was just a piece of meaningless and trivial information, they thought their sacrifice was worth it."
Luo Feng said in a serious tone: "If you want to defeat the Lord God, you must first recognize the Lord God. You don't even know what you are fighting against, how can you defeat it? The Lord God creates and manages countless worlds, and it consists of huge amounts of information. The composition, the amount of information is almost unlimited. No matter how powerful a person is, it is impossible to collect such a vast sea of ​​information. Only tens of millions of people work together to piece together the collected information bit by bit. After countless years of accumulation, I barely got a glimpse of the tip of the main god’s iceberg. Is the main just a big ball of light that asks for anything? We don’t know what it is that we desperately desire to achieve."
"There was a fictional story in a science fiction novel. A mysterious existence from the universe announced to scientists all over the world that they would exchange their lives for the ultimate mystery of the universe, and countless people died for this."
He pointed to Tang Xiaotian and pointed to himself, and said: "We are like the scientists in the story. In order to learn the mystery of the main god, we pass this mystery to the researchers and die without regret."
"If you don’t have this kind of awareness, you can’t go to death happily to collect information, and you will be confused by illusions, thinking that illusory happiness is real, then you don’t have the qualifications to become the investigator of the main god. I will be bewitched by the Lord God and be sanctified in the dream world it weaves, and then sell Liberty City to help the Lord God destroy Liberty City, so that all intelligent lives in the multiverse can live forever in the dream made by the Lord God."
Tang Xiaotian thought about it carefully. Io completely mechanized himself without even doing it. Klein, as the native of the plot, should have a happy ending in the original plot. Zhang Daniu, as a traverser, is destined to be the world he traverses. An extraordinary existence.
They have chosen to become investigators of the main with a very high mortality rate. They must hate the "false reality" extremely, just like the sword spider in front of them, they will not die in a world of false illusions.
And her?
Tang Xiaotian was silent, his mood fluctuated, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
In front of the sword spider, many secrets of the origin of the world were said, but the sword spider seemed to be unheard of. She was a Faerun native who could not even understand the inferior phantom world, let alone a higher level of world cognition. In her ears, Luo Feng's conversation with Tang Xiaotian was just a meaningless noise, and she couldn't understand a word.
After all this, Luo Feng turned and walked towards Ai Li no matter how much Tang Xiaotian understood.
"His Royal Highness, Princess Elf, we can go save your Uncle Querry."
Alley blushed and whispered: "Mr. Bradlow, please don't call me an elf princess anymore. I'm just an ugly and humble outcast bound on the ground. Your name makes me embarrassed and sad. ."
"I am sorry……"
Luo Feng’s expression of compassion: "But you’re not right. You have a lot of attraction... You are beautiful, both on the inside and on the outside. In my eyes that can see through the virtual image, you are A noble fairy princess."
She couldn't believe it, and she was a little bit pleased, and said softly, "You praise me too much, Bradlow! This must not be true!"
Luo Feng stretched out his hand to help her smooth the tangled hair on her forehead, and smiled: "Of course what I said is true, Alley."
Alley held his hot cheeks in both hands, glanced at Luo Feng's handsome face, and whispered softly: "Oh...I understand...Thank you...Mr. Bradlow. Hmm...Do you think I am beautiful? I mean...do you really think so?"
"Yes, Alley." Luo Feng vowed: "I would like to swear to Sufras, the of prophecy I believe in, that every word I say is sincere."
The eyes of the elf girl looking at Luo Feng changed. There was tenderness in her eyes, but she tried to conceal it.
In Faerun Continent, swearing directly by the name of the gods is a very solemn oath. If there are false words, it will offend the gods.
One of the priesthoods of Sufras is to "see the truth." This and his followers never lie.
She couldn't help but believe what the handsome black-haired young man said.
Tang Xiaotian, who had just been trained and was so depressed, didn't expect Luo Feng to turn his head and spur Alley with his mouth full of chaihu. He cursed bitterly in his heart: I really dare to say it, there is no one who speaks the truth in his mouth, he still believes. The of prophecy? The of prophecy, his old man is so powerful, why don't you kill your evil animal with thunder and clean your door!
Watching Luo Feng tease his sister in a familiar way, Tang Xiaotian felt a sense of despair. She began to consider whether she would simply accept the fate of being exiled from Liberty City after the mission and return to the real world to enjoy the false happiness of a lifetime.
