Lord God Investigator

"Captain, don't drive me away..." Tang Xiaotian said urgently: "I will study hard and improve myself..."

Luo Feng suddenly asked: "Xiaotian, what is your investigator number?"

Tang Xiaotian was stunned and replied: "My investigator number is: 23549."

"Now the queue has reached more than 20,000?" Luo Feng said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Then do you know how many Lord God investigators are still active now?"

"I heard from the teacher at the training center that there are less than a thousand people."

"876 people." Luo Feng said: "The number has reached more than 20,000, and there are only more than 800 investigators still working. Do you know where the rest of them have gone?"

Tang Xiaotian's heart trembled and he said, "All... are all dead?"

Luo Feng shook his head and said: "It's not that exaggerated. About half of them died on the job, and the remaining half either transferred to the logistics center or combat committee, or had their memories wiped and returned to the real world. A few of them rebelled and committed suicide. After the Lord God betrayed the information about Liberty City, he fled to a certain plot world and hid, enjoying the entire world given to him by the Lord God. In that world, he was a god, just like Kara, the creator of this illusion space."

Tang Xiaotian felt heavy-hearted. Of the more than 20,000 main investigators, only about 4% continued to engage in investigation work. This elimination rate was astonishingly high, and the mortality rate was also astonishingly high.

"So, even if you are forced to change jobs, or have your memories erased and return to the real world, it is not an unacceptable tragedy."

Luo Feng said: "Even if you are the worst and the worst, if your memory is wiped away and you are expelled to reality, Liberty City will arrange for you in reality to be the daughter of a wealthy family and the heir to a huge inheritance, so that you will live a lifetime of prosperity and endless happiness."

"But...but...I really don't want to leave Liberty City"

Tang Xiaotian was a little tempted, but she still didn't want to leave Liberty City. What's more, the person who wanted to expel her was the reason why she had to stay.

"Do you know what's the biggest difference between you and Klein, Ai Ou 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, so she could only ask tentatively: "Am I a girl?"

Luo Feng shook his head and said, "I never differentiate between team members based on their gender. Since you can't answer the question, let me change the question. Why do you want to become a Lord God investigator?"

"It's not because of you!"

Tang Xiaozhen wanted to shout out to him directly. If it wasn't because she missed Luo Feng who had saved her, how could she choose the most difficult candidate to be an investigator when choosing a career?

But this reason was too embarrassing to reveal, so she could only lie aggrievedly: "Because the Lord God Investigator is the most respected and well-paid profession in the Free 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: "Facing the test I gave you before, except for Zhang Daniu, who may make mistakes due to intelligence factors, Ai Ou and Klein will pass the test and see through it. Illusion, leap out of the abyss and look directly into reality.”

"Why is this?"

Tang Xiaotian asked puzzledly.

"Because the reasons for those three people to become investigators of the Lord God are similar to that of the Sword Spider lady. They do not want to live in a world of illusions called 'destiny' actually woven by the Lord God, and are willing to use everything in exchange for the 'truth'. Of course. , this sword spider lady may just be because she is not as good-looking in the illusion world as she is in reality. If she turns into a water fairy, she might want to stay in the illusion world."

Luo Feng said: "The more than 10,000 Lord God investigators who sacrificed their lives all had this consciousness. They remained unswerving until death, and remained unmoved in the face of the temptation of the Lord God to grant a big world. They tried their best to transmit the collected data before they died. Back at the institute, even if it was just a piece of meaningless and trivial information, they felt that their sacrifice was worth it."

Luo Feng said in a serious tone: "If you want to defeat the Lord God, you must first understand the Lord God. If 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 a huge amount of information. The amount of information is almost infinite. No matter how powerful one person is, he cannot 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, We have just barely glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the Lord God. Is the Lord God just a big ball of light that takes what you want? We don’t know, and figuring out what it is is the goal we desperately want to achieve."

"There was a fictional story in a science fiction novel. A mysterious being from the universe announced to scientists all over the world that they would exchange their lives for the ultimate secret of the universe. Countless people happily died for it."

He pointed at Tang Xiaotian and then at himself, and said: "We are like the scientists in the story. In order to know the secret of the Lord God, we pass on this secret to researchers and continue to die without regrets."

"If you don't have this kind of awareness and can't willingly die in order to collect information, and you are still confused by illusions and think that illusory happiness is real, then you are not qualified to be an investigator of the Lord God. Even if you don't die in the infinite world in the future, They will be bewitched by the Lord God, consecrate the gods in the dream he weaves, and then betray Liberty City to help the Lord God destroy Liberty City, so that all intelligent life in the multiverse will forever live in the dream fabricated by the Lord God."

Tang Xiaotian thought about it carefully. Ai Ou had completely mechanized himself and stopped being a human being. As a native of the plot, Klein should have had a happy ending in the original plot. As a time traveler, Zhang Daniu was destined to be the world he traveled through. Extraordinary existence.

But they chose to become investigators of the Lord God with a very high mortality rate. They must hate "false reality" extremely much, just like the sword spider in front of them, unwilling to live in a false world of illusion.

And what about her?

Tang Xiaotian was silent, his mood fluctuated, and he could not calm down for a long time.

She told many secrets about the origin of the world in front of the Sword Spider, but the Sword Spider seemed to have never heard of it. She was a native of Faerûn who could not even understand the inferior illusion world, let alone a higher level of world cognition. In her ears, the conversation between Luo Feng and Tang Xiaotian was just a meaningless noise, and she couldn't understand a single word.

After saying all this, Luo Feng turned around and walked towards Ai Li, regardless of how much Tang Xiaotian understood.

"Your Highness the Elf Princess, we can go rescue your Uncle Quili."

Alley blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "Mr. Bredreau, please don't call me the elf princess anymore. I'm just an ugly, humble outcast bound to the earth. Your title makes me embarrassed and sad." .”

"I am sorry……"

Luo Feng's face was full of affection: "But you are wrong, you have many attractive qualities... You are beautiful, both inside and outside. In my eyes that can see through illusions, you are A noble elf princess.”

She couldn't believe it, and she was also a little happy. She said softly: "You praise me too much, Bradlow! This must not be true!"

Luo Feng stretched out his hand to smooth a strand of hair from her forehead, and said with a smile: "Of course what I said is true, Ai Li."

Alley held his hot cheeks in his hands, glanced at Luo Feng's handsome face, and said softly: "Oh... I understand... Thank you... Mr. Bradlow. Hmm... Do you think I'm beautiful?" I mean...do you really think so?"

"Yes, Alley." Luo Feng vowed: "I would like to swear to Savras, the god of prophecy that I believe in, that every word I say is true."

The elf girl's eyes changed when she looked at Luo Feng. There was tenderness in her eyes, but she tried her best to hide it.

In the continent of Faerûn, swearing by the name of a god is a very solemn oath. If it is false, the god will be offended.

One of Savras' vocations is to "pursue the truth." This god and his followers never lie.

She couldn't help but believe the words of the handsome black-haired young man in front of her.

Tang Xiaotian, who had just been scolded and was feeling depressed, didn't expect Luo Feng to turn around and start teasing Ai Li with his mouth full of Bupleurum. He cursed bitterly in his heart: How dare you say it? He doesn't even say a word of truth in his mouth, and he still believes in it. God of prophecy? The God of Prophecy is so brave, why don't he kill you with a thunderbolt and clean up the family?

Seeing Luo Feng seducing the girl with ease, Tang Xiaotian felt a sense of despair. She began to consider whether to simply accept the fate of being exiled from Liberty City after the mission and return to the real world to enjoy a lifetime of false happiness.
