Abyssal Wanderer

Chapter 25 NO.0019: Ascension Path · Icarus

I didn't tell a single lie...

Looking at himself in the audience, and Booker who was dragged here by bad luck, Jiang Zhou thought to himself.

He did pull the two of them over through the abyss and dark web, and he was indeed visiting the current location at depth 2... As for how Booker would understand himself, that's not his problem.

Without giving the other party a chance to continue thinking about it, Jiang Zhou asked while the iron was hot:

"What did you plan to do when you activated the thing you called the 'universal printer' earlier?"

As soon as this remark came out, the two people in the audience fell silent at the same time, as if they were thinking about how to answer this question—of course, one of them was just pretending to be thinking, while the other was really trying to answer the question. Brains.

Booker didn't think that such a mysterious existence hacked into the universal printer, dragged them to the depth 2 of the abyss, and put up such a big battle just to ask such a simple question.

Among them, there is definitely a deeper meaning, or some huge conspiracy hidden.

Of course, it is more likely that their restart of the universal printer is just an insignificant part of the other party's huge plan-maybe the other party has hacked into countless computers at the same time at the same time, and dragged thousands of records. People are asking questions, and in this way, they are making the grand layout of the big plan of the base reality.

Anyway, using my mortal wisdom to speculate on the purpose of "paradox" to upgrade life, it is like rhesus monkeys speculating why those humans brought themselves into the laboratory.

It can't be said that it's meaningless, but it won't have much impact on your final outcome.

Thinking of this, Booker couldn't help but shudder.

For some reason, his mind seemed to resound with the incomparably mournful howling of the monkey when it was locked in a cage waiting to be dissected.

Anyway, tell the truth as much as possible.

If you are found to be lying, there is a high probability that you will offend the other party.

After making up his mind, Booker turned his head to look at Liao Qi who was on the side, and gave the kid a look to stop answering blindly. Then he looked up at the "paradox" at the top of the iron tower, and carefully replied:

"We are restarting... The person who previously had the activation authority of this universal printer died, and before he died, he sealed the activation authority in the memory and transferred it out. We are trying to restart and intend to restore the activation authority. Rebind."

So who are you going to bind to? You haven't said it yet!

Hearing this answer, Jiang Zhou resisted the urge to keep asking.

The other party stopped here, as if indicating that he had finished speaking.

This guy is also imitating himself, he speaks half of what he says, and only gives a hint of "you and I understand" the rest!

Jiang Zhou, who was sitting on the seat, was silent.

Before the leader of Keruit died, Liao Qi was the one who assigned the permission to bind the printer. After all, the leader must have sensed that there was a company insider in Icarus. And Liao Qi, who almost died several times in the company's siege, is enough to prove his innocence, so handing it over to him is definitely a proper choice.

But on the way Booker led Liao Qi to the orphanage, he never made it clear who he was going to bind the authority to, which made Jiang Zhou suspicious.

If Booker is the ghost of the company in Icarus, no matter what his purpose is, he will definitely bind the activation authority of the universal printer to himself in the end.

Therefore, the answer to this question is extremely critical for judging the identity of the other party.

But he doesn't say it!

And I can't ask.

Jiang Zhou thought helplessly.

In the situation where he pretends to be an expert, he really can't ask trivial questions like "who are you going to bind the authority to?".

Asking out is too detrimental to the inscrutable image created earlier.

It is also easy to make the other party suspicious.

"Well, what else?"

In the end, Jiang Zhou had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue asking calmly.

besides?

Hearing this question, Booker became nervous again.

Have your little thoughts been seen?

He did hide some things, but not from the "paradox" in front of him, but from Liao Qi beside him - if he knew something, the impact would be very bad.

He originally thought that things of this level would not care at the level of "paradox", so he vaguely mentioned them. Didn't expect that the other party seemed to realize that he was hiding something, or did the other party know everything, and was just testing whether he was lying?

Countless possibilities and ways of answering kept spinning rapidly in Booker's mind. But considering the possibility that he could safely return to the base reality, he decided to take the risk of fooling the past again.

"And there is..."

"What's more, the two of us plan to go to see the last words left by the dead authority holder in memory for us together."

Liao Qi beside him seemed unable to restrain his restless heart again, and rushed to answer.

The "paradox" who was sitting on the seat nodded invisibly, and then turned his "eyes" to himself.

He seemed to be asking: So, what are you trying to say?

After Liao Qi finished what he wanted to say, under the pressure of the "paradox" that seemed to be able to look directly into his heart, Booker really couldn't say things like "ah, that's what I want to say" or "yes." That's right, that's the answer."

If he and Liao Qi can go back alive together, he must educate this stinky boy well, what does it mean to "the adults talk, the children don't interrupt".

Booker secretly gritted his molars and thought, then he replied very helplessly:

"In that memory, there should be a set of upgrade paths called 'Icarus', I hope to be able to take it out completely..."

Good guy, this guy really is hiding something!

Seeing that he had cheated out some information, Jiang Zhou was pleasantly surprised. If it weren't for Booker still in front of him, he would have to give himself a high five for the tacit cooperation between them.

"That's it."

Although he didn't know what the "upgrade path" was and what the relationship with "Icarus" was, Jiang Zhou still acted as if he knew everything, and responded that he could understand whatever he wanted nonsense.

Then he quickly asked Liao Qi to ask:

"Mr. Booker, what do 'Path of Ascension' and 'Icarus' mean? Leader Kreit didn't have a chance to explain it to me before he died."

Booker, who had no choice but to tell this secret, sighed softly, and then looked up at "Paradox" sitting on the platform, his eyes full of asking for instructions.

But Jiang Zhou couldn't understand the complex eyes of the other party, whether he wanted "paradox" to explain these things, or the other party hoped that he could give him some time, so that he could explain some common things to this child who didn't understand anything. knowledge not known.

But anyway, Jiang Zhou didn't know anything, so he could only think that the other party was asking for instructions of the latter kind.

"No problem."

With an ambiguous answer again, Jiang Zhou leaned back on the seat and said nothing more.

"Thank you for your generosity..."

Booker bowed to "Paradox" to show his thanks, then turned his head to look at Liao Qi, and said solemnly:

"The so-called upgrade path is a plan that allows the transformation of the adjustment person to go to a higher depth. Nowadays, all the existences that can break through the limit of depth 7 human intelligence are all successful according to different paths. ..."
