Edwards looked at the person in front of him. At this moment, his mood was completely different from that of 10 minutes ago.

　　

　　 A nuclear leak.

　　

　　 700 million lives.

　　

　　 These burdens are suddenly pressed on their shoulders, no matter who they are, they will feel heavy.

　　

　　 Except... this guy with a straw.

　　

In the meantime, the soda in his cup was almost drunk, and the straw was constantly sucking at the bottom of the cup, making a harsh sound. This guy didn't care about the water at all. He just stirred the ice with the straw, like an insufficiency. The same as the child.

　　

　　 "Why are you doing this?" Benjamin asked finally.

　　

　　 "Interesting." The man shrugged.

　　

"Interesting? The lives of 700 million people! How could this have something to do with interestingness?!" Benjamin felt like he wanted to slap the table violently and shouted these words, but he restrained it and shouted with a lunatic, yes The most irrational behavior.

　　

"Hey hey-you say it's boring, it's because you are still seeing things with your own eyes." The prisoner said, "If you look at it from another angle, you go beyond the self and self, even beyond the universe. ..... It's very interesting to see it from the perspective of a 100% bystander.

　　

Imagine that the whole world has nothing to do with you. No matter how many people's lives and deaths are just a number, it's like a novel. You are just a reader. Then a huge disaster of 700 million people will happen in the book. What will you do? Look at this plot?

　　

　　 Will you be sad for the death of these 700 million people? Will you cry for the lives of these 700 million people?

　　

　　 Hehe, you won’t, even if you feel heavy and uncomfortable seeing here, it is just your feedback on the plot in the book.

　　

You... only care about how the explosion will end, and you will even think crazy about it. If this explosion does happen, then how should the next story go, and whether the world in the book will go? Paralyzed in a few seconds.

　　

　　From this point of view, you will find it very interesting and worth looking forward to. You don’t even realize how crazy your ideas are.

　　

　　 Hehehe, because no one cares about a book..."

　　

　　 Edwards breathed a little bit, he didn't understand why this lunatic would say this, from the perspective of a bystander? What are you kidding about, how can someone look at things from this perspective? If so, then this person must be a lunatic too.

　　

"I really want to discuss with you what you call a'bystander', but I can't calm down the newcomer. I'm just an ordinary human. I just want to stop this explosion at this moment, and you also said, give you a glass. Water, you gave me the lives of these 700 million people. You can't just talk about it, right, I want these 700 million people to live now!"

　　

　　 Edwards worked hard to bite these words very clearly. As a Sherlock-level detective, he had never put such an attitude in front of a prisoner.

　　

"Okay, I can give you the lives of 700 million people, but...hehe...you have to call me a drink again, and...the sweetest one Kind."

　　

　　 The prisoner said, and handed the empty cup in his hand to Edwards.

　　

　　 And at this moment Edwards has nothing to do, he can only satisfy the other party's request, just a drink, I hope this guy will not play any tricks.

　　

　　 He stretched out his hand to pick up the quilt handed over by the other party...

　　

　　 However, it was the moment he was about to touch the cup.

　　

　　 "pop!"

　　

　　 The prisoner suddenly let go of his hand, and the cup fell directly to the ground, smashing to pieces!

　　

　　 "Hahahahahaha —————"

　　

　　 The prisoner laughed, and the thread sewn at the corner of his mouth pulled the torn open wound, making the eyes terrifying.

　　 "What the **** do you want?!" Edwards suppressed the yelling volume. He has no time, 24 hours, 700 million lives, and he doesn't have any time to waste with this lunatic.

　　

　　 "Ahhhhh, mistake, I thought you could receive it...hahaha..."

　　

　　 The prisoner stretched out three fingers while talking.

　　

　　 are one for the left hand and two for the right hand.

　　

　　 "Look, this is what you want. Go ahead, people in half of the city are waiting for you to save."

　　

　　 "What do you mean?" Benjamin asked.

　　

　　 "Hey hey———"

　　

　　 "What do you mean, what do you want to do?"

　　

　　 "Ah, the most fascinating things in this world are those sweet things."

　　

　　 The prisoner began to mumble self-consciously. No matter what Benjamin asked, he seemed to be unable to hear him, a neurotic appearance immersed in the world he had imagined.

　　

　　 A few minutes later, Benjamin finally understood that the other party had already given his own answer.

　　

　　 He won't communicate with himself anymore.

　　

　　 But...what do you mean...

　　

　　 One finger on the left hand and two on the right hand.

　　

Does 　　 mean 1 and 2?

　　

　　The code for shutting down the reactor is 12?

　　

　　 "Damn it!" Benjamin walked out of the interrogation room and looked inside from the one-way mirror. You can still see the prisoner humming like a lunatic, and laughing strangely from time to time.

　　

　　 "What does it mean!" Benjamin knew that even if he could crack these two gestures, it would take a lot of time, and he couldn't wait.

　　

　　 So, he took out his phone...

　　

　　 made a call!

　　

　　......

　　

　　 At the same time, in a state university in North America's third-largest city, a lecture hall is full of seats.

　　

　　Professor Munster’s lecture is undoubtedly a feast in academic circles for those novices who have just entered the field of mathematics and yearn to gain a foothold here.

　　

　　 Even if I just glanced at the door~lightnovelpub.net~ through the window of the teaching and research section, that would be enough to brag to my friends for the first half of a month.

　　

　　"Any single connected, closed three-dimensional manifold must be homeomorphic to a three-dimensional sphere...

　　

Simply put, a closed three-dimensional manifold is a three-dimensional space with boundaries; simple connectivity means that each closed curve in this space can be continuously contracted to a point, or in a closed three-dimensional space, if each closed curve The curve of can be shrunk to a point, and this space must be a three-dimensional sphere. "

　　

　　 On the podium, a man with a big beard said something that 99% of the people can’t understand, but in this classroom, everyone’s eyes are full of curiosity.

　　

　　 Suddenly, at this critical moment...

　　

　　 "Ling~Ling~Ling~"

　　

　　 A series of telephone calls rang.

　　

　　 You don’t need to guess that the ringtone of the phone comes from Professor Munster’s personal cell phone, because all students will consciously mute the phone when listening to this kind of lecture.

　　

　　 Even the slightest interruption is disrespect for Professor Munster’s lecture.

　　

　　 But only Professor Munster himself must ensure that the mobile phone is in a normal state.

　　

　　 After all, he is not only a professor of mathematics, he is also a detective...
