Chapter 915 Chapter 913·“You are like a mother.”

　　【Question 1: How would you rate the game "Cat and Her"? (Full score is five points.)]

 “Five points.”

　　【Question 2: How would you rate the game "Lou Yue Kingdom"? (Full score is five points.)]

 “Five points.”

　　【Question 3: How would you rate the game "Girls' Dream Project"? (Full score is five points.)]

 “Five points.”

Su Mingan didn’t expect the questions in this questionnaire to be so simple.

　　【Question 4: How would you rate the gods? (Full score is five points.)]

Su Mingan narrowed his eyes: "Zero points."

【Why? 】

Su Mingan said: "What do you think?"

 The world has been put into such a shape, why do you have the nerve to ask for a rating? Doesn’t the **** himself have any thoughts?

  【Rhetorical questions are prohibited, players are asked to answer declarative sentences. 】

Su Mingan thought for a while and answered seriously: "As the ruler of the world, what have you given to human beings and what have you deprived them of? Have you made them feel happy or miserable? From my point of view, your actions are undoubtedly Failed. Of course, if you gave me more information, I might revisit your motives."

  【Question 5: What do you think destiny is? 】

Su Mingan said: "Is this a game questionnaire or a philosophy question?"

  【Rhetorical questions are prohibited, players are asked to answer declarative sentences. 】

Su Mingan thought for a while: "Destiny is 'non-existence', it is 'nothingness'."

  【Do you think fate is something that does not exist? 】

Su Mingan said: "No. It's just that once I start thinking about fate, this question will immediately fall into nothingness, because I can't judge the limited scope and measurement range of the word 'fate'. So, limiting all possibilities to this word is It is meaningless and will only lead to paradox. In the end, it is found that something that is uncertain does not mean that it does not exist. This kind of thing does not need to be forcibly confirmed or falsified, and skepticism itself is also worthy of doubt."

The questionnaire still hasn’t stopped:

　　【Question 6: What do you think is the theory of good and evil? 】

Su Mingan was speechless: "God, you can go to the forum and take a look. There are a lot of people discussing this issue, and you will be enlightened."

　　【Question 7: Do you think "self" is the most valuable thing in human beings? 】

Su Mingan said: "The second most valuable thing is the ideal. I think the ideal is the first."

　　【If one day, you had to choose between these two, which one would you choose? 】

Su Mingan said: "I said that ideals come first, so ideals must be given priority."

　　【If you could only realize your ideal by killing yourself, would you swing a sword at yourself? Please answer "Yes" or "No". 】

 …These are all unlucky questions.

Su Mingan suspected that he had given the gods zero points before, which caused the gods to ask him such heart-wrenching questions on purpose.

"It depends on the situation." Su Mingan didn't say it too harshly to prevent the gods from taking advantage of this to dig a hole for him.

 But for him in his heart, the answer to this question is undoubtedly,

【yes. 】

 …

　　【Question 8: What type of games do you expect to appear in the future? 】

Su Mingan did not hesitate: "Simple, warm, healing, and good for sleeping."

　　【Question 9: What kind of person do you want to cultivate Alice into? 】

Su Mingan turned his head and looked at Alice. Alice is picking lilies. When Su Ming'an looked at her, she seemed to have a premonition and looked up at him.

“Hiss.” At this time, Alice suddenly took a breath, and a **** hole appeared on her finger.

 “Is it punctured?” Su Mingan said.

 “It hurts so much.” Alice grimaced in pain. She is somewhat susceptible by nature and has an extremely strong sense of pain. Even if it is just a small puncture, she will feel very painful.

Su Mingan brought the medical kit in the house and squatted down to disinfect her: "Don't be distracted anymore. You may encounter more and more important things in the future. I don't want you to be distracted."

 Alice looked at him and suddenly laughed. She seemed to have thought of something funny and laughed so hard.

 “What are you laughing at?” Su Mingan said.

“Sir Detective, I feel like you are like the mother to children. You always give me instructions on everything.” Alice covered her mouth and smiled.

Su Mingan’s head is covered with black lines.

 “Give the medicine yourself.” Su Mingan threw down the medicine box. He and she are companions, and they are not really raising children. He cannot let her become a person who relies on him.

After closing the door, Su Mingan looked back and met Alice's eyes through the screen window. She smiled like a little fox, as if she expected him to turn around.

Su Mingan immediately turned his head.

"...I want to train her to be," Su Mingan said slowly, "the kind of person she wants to be."

 The questionnaire has come to the last question:

　　【Question 10: -Do you really want to step out of the small town? 】

Su Mingan's hand trembled as he picked up the black tea.

“If I say I will never leave the small town, can you give me a perfect pass?” Su Mingan said lightly.

 The panel displays two white words:

【Can. 】

Su Mingan laughed: "It seems that there is really a huge truth hidden outside. You would rather make such a promise than you want me to stay."

The panel flashes white words: [I am looking forward to you walking out of the small town. You stay is what I expect. Any choice you make will be what I expect. So, it doesn't matter. 】

Su Mingan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"You are very confident that no matter what I do, I can be guided to the fate line you want and achieve the ending you want?" Su Mingan said.

The white words on the panel flashed, revealing a huge word:

【yes. 】

 “Then let’s wait and see.” Su Mingan said.

 The questionnaire panel dimmed, and the ten questions ended.

 Subsequently, Su Mingan took Alice out to buy items. The items in the first half of the year are almost worn out.

Walking through the bluestone streets, Su Mingan took Alice into a carriage. Alice lay by the car window, curiously looking at the scene on the street.

The streets of the steam age have a natural sense of visual power. Large machines connected by rivets stand at random. Although they have a rigid and bulky appearance, you can observe the precise and meticulous steel chains and gears inside, which exudes a strong sense of power. Beautiful contrast. These devices are mixed with the architectural style of the Victorian era. Under the architectural style of complex structure and gorgeous shape, the visual impact is extremely strong.

The audience in the live broadcast room watched in amazement the style of this era, and wished they could go there in person.

"Detective Sir, where are we going?" Alice was very excited. This was her first time traveling far away.

 “Meet the princess.” Su Mingan said.

Just now a knight from the royal city said that the princess was waiting for him on the airship "Cloud and Mist" that was about to set off.

Arrived at the port, Su Mingan stepped out of the carriage holding his felt hat. He stretched out his hand to Alice. She took his hand and jumped down lightly, her light green ruffled dress clattering.

 The huge airship appeared in front of us, floating quietly on the sea like a giant ship. Long brown-gray steel plates extend on both sides, like a pair of wings about to spread out and fly.

The sea breeze blew Alice's black hair, and she looked at the endless sea, with clear joy in her eyes.

"Like the sea?" Su Mingan held her hand and walked on the deck.

"I like it." Alice blinked: "Like a huge blue gem."

Su Mingan thought of the previous precedent of liking the sea: "If you don't like the sea, it's better not to like it."

Alice raised her head: "But you can't stop liking it. Just like I like Mr. Detective, there is no way to stop this kind of thing. Even if you tell me that I don't like it, I still can't take my eyes away from the sea and you. .”

Hearing these words, Su Mingan's expression froze for a moment, thinking of Alice's 12 points of emotional intelligence, this child has been able to speak since she was a child.

 Passing through the many guards, Su Mingan led Alice into a room in the airship. A girl with flaxen hair and a long scarlet dress sat behind the table, with an elegant and dignified temperament.

Seeing Su Mingan, the girl stretched out her white-gloved hand: "Hello, Mr. Detective. I am Evitina."

 “Hello, Your Highness the Princess.” Su Mingan shook hands with the Princess.

 When Avetina retracted her hand, Alice suddenly stretched out her hand: "Hello, Your Highness Princess! I am Alice!"

Evetina was startled, then smiled brightly and shook hands with Alice: "Hello, Miss Alice."

　　What followed was a boring conversation, during which Alice had been sitting quietly on the chair, listening to the conversation between Su Ming'an and Avetina.

 …

　　【Avetina: Regarding this talent awakening magic circle, I have never seen such a wonderful magic circle... Can you really only use it three times? 】

　　【Detective: Yes, only I can use it. 】

　　【Evetina: Did you obtain this technology in the ruins? That’s why the technology is so unique. 】

  【Detective: Relics? 】

　　【Avetina: Huh? Don't you know? Recently, various countries have been excavating major relics from the era hundreds of years ago. Many adventurers have found technology and magic in the ruins that are far beyond our time, such as vaccines that can cure cholera, and communicators that can communicate remotely. These are things that are not available in our time. It's hard to imagine how they were created hundreds of years ago...it's like there was a technological gap. 】

　　【Evetina: Our history has only been recorded for a few decades, and it has been buried before. It's really hard to imagine what happened hundreds of years ago. 】

　　【Evetina: Since you don’t know about the ruins, how did you obtain this innate transformation technology that is far ahead of the times? 】

　　【Detective: ...Ah, actually I found it from the ruins. 】

　　【Evetina (smiling lightly): Oh, really? Okay, that's what you said. 】

　　【Evetina: As you can see, there is fierce fighting in the royal family now. I am not the only royal heir. You chose to provide me with the magic circle. I think you have already decided on your side. So I want to take your word for it. 】

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　：Okay. (What kind of royal fight? I am involved in some strange side plot. I only know the princess is the royal heir...forget it, it doesn't matter.)]

 …

Su Mingan drew a second talent awakening circle for Avetina. When she needed it in the future, he would draw a third talent awakening circle. This was considered a long-term agreement.

Evetina looked at him with a smile: "By the way, why don't you go back and follow me on the airship to the neighboring city. There is a newly opened ruins there. You might be able to find good things in the ruins."

Su Mingan thought for a while and refused.

"When Alice is a few years older, I will take her to the ruins." Su Mingan said.

 …

 “Ding dong!”

　　【Since (Princess Evitina)'s favorability has increased to 60 points, you have joined (Princess Evitina)'s royal camp. 】

  【You have received the recommendation from (Princess Evitina), Alice can directly enter the Royal Academy to study any course without a letter of recommendation. 】

 …

Su Mingan’s eyes lit up. This was a good thing. It greatly reduced Alice’s training costs.

Evitina smiled slightly: "The royal fortune teller recently discovered that these recent strange changes in the world are caused by something called the 'Eye of the Old'. If you find something similar Please report it to us. We suspect it will bring disaster to the world."

Su Mingan was startled, but judging from Evitina's calm expression, she probably didn't know that the Eye of the Old One was with him.

 After returning to Baoting City with 20,000 kels in his pocket, Su Mingan felt a little worried. The Eye of the Old One is a bound item on the detective and cannot be discarded voluntarily.

 …I can only hide it for the time being.

Su Mingan had a premonition that the moment the time bomb of the Eye of the Past exploded, this warm and peaceful life would completely end.
