The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After listening to Rupert Fitz's narration, Leo didn't fully believe the other party's words, even though he seemed sincere and showed no signs of lying, and the content of the narration was logical and reasonable, but Leo still still had Keep a certain amount of suspicion, not because he sees any clues, but because the person in front of him is Rupert Fitz. If the world of Velen has the god of politicians, then Rupert Fitz will definitely He is the person who is most qualified to sit on the throne of God.

Sincerity has never been the character that a politician should have. The more sincere a politician is, the more vigilant he should be. As the top existence among politicians, Rupert Fitz is even more unlikely to have such things as sincerity. As Sylvia said every time she mentioned Rupert Fitz, when Rupert Fitz showed sincerity, it was actually fangs wrapped in sincerity.

Although, now Rupert Fitz seems to be in trouble, he has become a puppet of some existence, the foreman of these non-artificial objects, mining those crystals here day after day, but Leo doesn’t care Will believe that this predicament will completely defeat Rupert Fitz, and naturally will not believe that the other party will completely give up resistance, so there must be some traps in the content of the other party's narration, and these traps will definitely affect He helps.

When Leo said that it was strange that his two students were kidnapped and brought here, although Rupert Fitz didn't have any abnormal reaction on the surface, Leo could clearly feel his heartbeat speeding up a bit. But it quickly returned to normal.

This kind of rapid heartbeat happened several times when Rupert Fitz narrated his past experiences. One time he mentioned the detachment organization, the other time he mentioned the original place, and the third time he mentioned Until he disappeared in the original place, then lost his memory, and his body was replaced by someone. There is no doubt that these three places should be of special significance to Rupert Fitz.

He didn't know whether the amnesia mentioned by Rupert Fitz was true, but one thing he was sure of was that Rupert Fitz must have concealed something.

"Can you tell me about the Transcendence Organization?" Leo didn't continue to focus on how Penny and Joan were kidnapped and came here, but changed the subject abruptly.

Rupert Fitz obviously didn't expect Leo to change the subject so abruptly. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "What do you want to know?"

Leo made a request: "All, all things related to the detachment organization, especially the inner circle."

Rupert Fitz said in a deep voice: "I was not a member of the inner circle before I left the detachment organization..."

Leo interrupted him and said, "With your means, I don't believe you didn't develop manpower in the Transcendence organization."

Rupert Fitz smiled and didn't refute, as if acquiescing, and said: "I can tell you everything I know about the detachment organization, and I can answer all your questions, as long as I know, but I have One condition, no, it should be that I want you to help me with something."

Leo refused decisively: "I won't promise you to do anything, and you don't have to tell me directly. I can use other methods to directly extract memories from your mind." While speaking, he looked at the side He placed a roughly assembled operating table, and said: "Although the instrument you assembled has some problems, it should still be usable. You have used it on my students several times. How is the effect? ​​Do you know?" It should be clear."

Rupert Fitz smiled wryly, and said: "Please don't be so anxious, what I hope you do for me is a very simple matter for you, please listen first, if you don't want to, just pretend to be me." Did not say."

"Tell me." Leo asked.

"Before you leave, kill me." Rupert Fitz said calmly.

Leo frowned, looked at Rupert Fitz, and said, "Although you can't see clearly and your lower body is paralyzed, you still seem to be able to use your hands. Find a piece of sharp metal to cut your throat. It's not difficult, why should I do it?"

"How do you know that I haven't committed suicide?" Rupert Fitz asked back, and then said: "I have committed suicide more than ten times, cutting my throat, piercing my head, and strangling my heart. I have tried all these methods of death, but After each suicide, I wake up and I am back to normal, I suspect that my suicide behaviors are hallucinations, I think I have committed suicide in my mind, but I haven’t, so I need an outsider to kill me.”

Leo believed in the hallucination mentioned in Rupert Fitz's words, because he checked Rupert Fitz's body and found that his body did not have any scars left by suicide. If Te Fitz really committed suicide as he said, then it is very likely that the suicide he remembered was a hallucination.

But Leo still felt that Rupert Fitz wanted him to kill him, it shouldn't be because he couldn't kill himself, there must be other situations that he didn't think of.

Leo thought for a while and asked, "Why do you still want to die now? Haven't you thought about letting me rescue you?"

"Then will you rescue me?" Rupert Fitz asked with a chuckle.

"No." Leo shook his head and said, "When I talked about you with Xini, I have already discussed it. As long as I meet you, I will kill you and will not leave you any chance. It seems that even if you are not an extraordinary person, you are too dangerous."

"Hehe! I should be honored by this." Rupert Fitz smiled without showing any anger, and then asked: "Now? Anyway, you are going to kill me anyway, so it doesn't matter It's against my request, isn't it?"

"In this case, why do you need to talk to me about the request?" Leo asked him back with the same words, then looked at Rupert Fitz thoughtfully, and said: "Unless it is for you, I Killing you has other meanings."

Rupert Fitz didn't give any response, and there was no abnormal expression on his face. Although the whole person looked the same as before, his heartbeat accelerated a little, and was caught by Leo.

At this time, Leo turned his head and looked at the gem-headed humanoid creatures lying on the ground and those old biochemicals around him. He seemed to think of something, and said in a deep voice, "Which Rupert Fitz are you now?"

As Leo's inquiry fell, Rupert Fitz couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face, then sighed, and said: "The person who can become Sylvia's partner should not be underestimated. I didn't expect you to be so soon. I can see it."

"Actually, I should have seen it earlier and guessed right." Leo glanced around and said, "It is impossible to have such an eye-catching exception in a place full of man-made objects, so you are also an artificial object, but you are more artificial than others." It's just more perfect."

"Perfect? ​​Indeed, that thing thinks so." Rupert Fitz raised his head slightly and said, "You're a little mistaken, I'm not the first Rupert Fitz, Rupert There is only one Fitz from the beginning to the end, the correct way to ask is what number is my current body."

Leo asked: "It seems that the experience you just gained has concealed a lot of things. If I'm not mistaken, you should also know that this is not the original place of the Yuan Continent, right?"

Rupert Fitz felt that there was no need to pretend anymore, so he nodded and said, "Yes, from the moment I woke up here, I knew that this place was no longer the place of the first test in the Yuan Continent. , and I also know who is the existence that performed the operation on me, and who was kidnapped here, and created countless bodies for me, so that I can't die even if I die?"

"Can you tell me who it is?" Leo asked.

Rupert Fitz said in a deep voice, "There's nothing you can't say. If you've lived in Yuan Continent, you must know Him. He is the Spirit of Knowledge."

Leo was stunned. Although he was a little surprised by Rupert Fitz's answer, he was not surprised, because he had seen in the materials about the church that the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge often kidnapped people in the past. Some well-known scholars, as for what they did after being kidnapped, no one knows, but they all became the most devout believers of the Spirit of Knowledge after they were released.

Later, I don’t know why the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge took the initiative to stop this kind of kidnapping. Maybe it was because of the internal pressure of the Church of True God, or maybe it was because of the resentment from the countries on the mainland. All in all, it was a choice for the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge to contact scholars afterwards. Cooperation or communication, without any coercive behavior, and the time to stop captive behavior happened not long after Rupert Fitz left Academic City, and Rupert Fitz also completely lost at that time No information, so when Leo and Sylvia were discussing, they thought that the kidnapping behavior of the Church of the Spirit of Knowledge was related to the disappearance of Rupert Fitz.

Hearing Rupert Fitz say it now just confirmed a previous guess, even though both Leo and Sylvia believed that the possibility of this guess was very low.

Perhaps it was because Leo acted too calmly and didn't ask any relevant questions, and Rupert Fitz's prepared speech was useless, so he couldn't help showing a trace of doubt on his face, and asked Leo Said: "You don't seem to be very surprised by this?"

Leo didn't answer Rupert Fitz's question, but asked another question he wanted to know, "What is the Spirit of Knowledge?"

Rupert Fitz smiled and said: "What is the Spirit of Knowledge? Why do you ask this question? Don't you even know this question? He is God!"

Leo asked again: "Is the god you talk about and the god I understand the same thing?"

Rupert Fitz didn't answer right away, but thought about it seriously, and said, "Do you think there is a difference? For us ignorant people, He exists like a god."

"He came from the universe?" Leo asked again.

Rupert Fitz sat up straight, and turned towards Leo with interest, as if he wanted to see Leo clearly with his pair of inactive prosthetic eyes, and said at the same time: "You know more than I expected, don't you?" Little, you don’t look like a descendant of a countryman from an island country if you know the universe, starry sky, brain replacement surgery, and the concept of space.” As he spoke, he suddenly paused, and said, “I remember that you look like a wizard, don’t you? It is the inheritance of the knowledge of the tower wizard, if this is the case, it will not be surprising, after all, the tower wizard is also a mysterious existence from the starry sky."

Leo didn't give Rupert Fitz any response. Instead, he seemed to change the subject and suddenly asked, "What will happen if I kill you?"

"If I didn't miscalculate, my current body should die, but I will be resurrected in another body." Rupert Fitz answered this question very seriously.

Leo said slightly puzzled: "Since this is the case, what difference does it make whether you are killed or not? In the end, you just change your body."

"Yes, it's just a different body, but the location of the body is different, and the state of the body is also different." Rupert Fitz responded briefly, and seemed to have no intention of continuing, but asked a little anxiously. Said: "Now? Are you willing to kill me after I answer all the questions you want to know?"

"Why didn't you commit suicide?" Leo did not respond to Rupert Fitz's inquiry, but continued to ask.

However, Rupert Fitz seemed to have reached the peak of his patience, facing Leo's question, he remained silent.

Seeing this situation, Leo didn't continue to ask, but went straight forward and grabbed Rupert Fitz. Although Rupert Fitz tried to resist when Leo made a move, he used his psychic power Rough methods could not resist Leo's psychic suppression at all, and he was easily imprisoned by Leo.

Afterwards, Leo put Rupert Fitz directly on the operating table on the side of the room, then completely confined his body, and then began to check the operating table, connecting the universal recorder to the main control device of the operating table, Quickly familiarize yourself with the operation method of the operating table.

"Wait, wait! I can answer your question." After Rupert Fitz tried to break free from the shackles to no avail, he saw that Leo seemed to have mastered the control method of the operating table, and would use it to detect the brain The patch hood was activated, and he shouted loudly.

However, Leo did not intend to let Rupert Fitz go, and said in a deep voice: "But I don't believe that you will really answer my question. This method is more straightforward."

After speaking, he directly put the activated neural patch hood on Rupert Fitz's head, and then manipulated the patch inside the hood to adjust to the correct position.

Although this device is assembled from various parts, Leo does not know why Rupert Fitz was able to piece it together, but he can be sure that there is no problem with the operation of this device, but the control system is slightly outdated , you need to get familiar with it first, so that there will be no surprises when testing Rupert Fitz's brain.
