Chapter 119 Detective Lou Bai!
Long Ke was confused.
After Yuxing and the others carried him away, Long Ke, who was closely watched by Kuro and Lao Tie, could only pray for them in his heart, praying that they would return safely.
Just after eating a simple but hot lunch with full thoughts, Long Ke seemed to hear the call of [Ancient Fairy Dragon] again.
Is it because he was too far away in Shindo Mino, and now he is closer to [Ancient Fairy Dragon]? With this thought in mind, Long Ke followed the call from his heart and came to the elf world.
"Here is..."
Looking at the foggy forest, Long Ke hesitated for a while, and the fear in his heart was dispelled by the heart of salvation. After slightly identifying the direction, Long Ke ran towards the direction of [Ancient Fairy Dragon] holding [Ribbon Chestnut Ball].
On the way forward, the magic circles that suddenly appeared in front of her and the high magic power in the circle made her stop.
"So there are people ahead?"
Long Ke paused, hid behind a tree, and watched a magician and a weirdo in armor attacking a deep pit.
As locals, they must know about the [Ancient Fairy Dragon], but they look a bit fierce...
After some inner thinking, Long Ke made up his mind, ran out from behind the tree, and asked the two people who were about to leave: "Um...Excuse me, do you know where this is?"
"Huh?"
Lou Bai turned his head and looked at Long Ke who suddenly appeared with some surprise. After thinking about it in his mind, Lou Bai understood the reason for her appearance. It was probably because he was kind enough to lift the ban on that guy, and it called for people again.
At the same time, Lou Bai was also thankful that he was wearing this set of armor. If he faced Long Ke directly with his true face, he would not know how to explain why he appeared here.
On the other side, Trenka looked at Long Ke, who was obviously not a card elf, and said, "Little girl, are you from another world?"
"It's really uncomfortable to see you pretending to be an adult in a child's body." After complaining, Lou Bai turned to Long Ke and introduced himself, "You can call me evol, little girl, why are you here?"
"I would like to ask, do you know the whereabouts of [Ancient Fairy Dragon]?" Long Ke asked nervously with his hands folded in front of his chest.
"I don't know these situations." Before Trenka, Lou Bai interrupted him: "But I know that the city originally protected by [Ancient Fairy Dragon] is now experiencing a disaster."
Long Ke, who didn't know the whole picture, heard this and subconsciously made a judgment: "All this must have been done by the dark sealer who sealed [Ancient Fairy Dragon]!"
Lou Bai was not very angry because Long Ke was inexplicably blamed. Anyway, it was Dimark who was wronged, what does it have to do with me, Evol? This is the advantage of having many vests.
Acknowledging Long Ke's statement, Lou Bai turned to look at Terenka and asked, "Now, tell me the details of this disaster. It's here."
Long Ke, who was about to leave, also stopped. As long as the disaster caused by the "Dark Marker" is eliminated, we will definitely be able to find the [Ancient Fairy Dragon], right? This is Long Ke's idea.
"Well, I hope you can find something strange."
Terenka sighed and recalled the past: "About a month ago, this disaster started without any signs. Pest eggs appeared in various parts of the town at the same time, and the rest is what you know."
"Really... I have no idea where to start! Even if I clean up the eggs on the first day, the same number will grow again on the second day. I don't know what to do." Squatting on the ground, Terenka scratched his head in distress.
"Wait, you said the same number will grow the next day?"
Lou Bai heard the information revealed in Terenka's complaint, and he hurriedly asked: "On the first day of the insect plague, the number of eggs was still the same? In other words, until now, only the hardness of the eggs has changed, but the total number has not changed?"
"Huh?"
After hearing what Lou Bai said, Terenka was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "It should be getting less and less, right? After all, everyone is working so hard to eliminate the eggs."
"Not necessarily." Lou Bai's fingers tapped the mask and said: "Don't trust your brain easily, the brain will It's deceptive, but the data won't. "
"But now we don't have much time to compare the number of eggs before and after the two days. After all, under the current circumstances, every day of delay may lead to new victims. So we can only make bold assumptions and carefully verify them. "
To Trenka and Long Ke, who were a little confused, Lou Bai put forward a point of view: "Based on what you just said, we assume that the total number of eggs will remain unchanged regardless of whether the eggs are eliminated or not."
"Hey, if that's the case, then aren't we working in vain?" Listening to Lou Bai's words, Trenka widened his eyes in surprise and said.
Shaking his head, Lou Bai comforted: "Not really. If my point of view is correct, then the act of eliminating eggs greatly slows down the process of eggs hatching into insects. If all these eggs are hatched, then I'm afraid something terrible will happen, right?"
"Assuming that my point of view is correct, there is a problem, that is, where does the power to create these eggs come from?" Lou Bai, who used the hypothesis method to infer the truth, quickly raised another question.
After thinking for a while, Trenka proposed a possibility: "Could it be that the townspeople's weakness is because their strength is absorbed by the eggs?"
Lou Bai immediately denied it: "It's unlikely. You said that the townspeople's weakness is due to the stench, and the stench is produced after the eggs are hatched. If it is according to your statement, as the stench increases, the rate of the appearance of eggs will also increase."
"That..." Listening to the conversation between the two, Long Ke raised his hand timidly and said: "Could it be that the strength is absorbed from the dead eggs? I read in a book that some animals eat eggshells after they are born. Is it possible that the new eggs absorb the strength of the dead eggs?"
"Impossible." Trenka shook his head firmly and said: "Every time the eggs are shoveled off, I put them here for centralized destruction!"
"Don't be so decisive." Lou Bai waved his hand, and then cast his eyes on the big pit.
If Trenka really wiped them out completely...Thinking like this, Lou Bai, in front of Trenka and Long Ke's surprised eyes, exerted force on his feet and jumped into the big pit.
Bending down and carefully observing the black soil on the ground, Lou Bai found something wrong - it was too clean.
You know, even a garbage incinerator cannot completely burn the garbage. How could Trenka, who has a hard time dealing with insect eggs, eliminate the eggs so cleanly that there is only mud in the pit, and nothing else.
Seeing Lou Bai jumping out of the pit, Trenka hurried over and asked expectantly: "What's wrong, evol, did you find anything?"
"It's hard to say." Lou Bai shook his head. He had some ideas, but he was not sure.
Looking at Terenka, Lou Bai said, "Terenka, go back and bring me some eggs now, preferably undamaged ones."
Terenka smiled bitterly and nodded, saying, "You are treating me as a tool..."
"No way, everyone in the city knows you?" Lou Bai spread his hands and said, "If I go, no one will know me! Then I will have to waste my breath again."
"Okay, okay, I know."
While Terenka was leaving, Long Ke seemed to remember something and asked Lou Bai, "Mr. Evol, do you know [Regulus]? He is the guardian of [Ancient Fairy Dragon]."
"[Regulus]?" Lou Bai shook his head and said, "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it. Ask Terenka when he comes back. He is more familiar with this place than me."
After a few words of conversation, Terenka hurried back with a black bag. Smelling the stench from the bag, Long Ke subconsciously took a few steps back, and his face turned pale instantly.
Ignoring the disgust on Trenka and Longke's faces, Lou Bai took out a complete and still wriggling insect egg, and put it in his hand while suppressing his nausea.
[Recommended, the book is really useful, download it here, and you can try it quickly. ]
Then, the power of the water element surged out from Lou Bai's hand and quietly soaked it. Moistened by the water element, the insect egg squirmed more violently, and the larvae were about to break out of the cocoon.
Before the pest was born, a flash of lightning flashed in Lou Bai's hand, and the insect egg was instantly cut in half. Lou Bai just threw the cut insect egg on the ground and quietly observed the movement of the "corpse".
Looking at Lou Bai's actions, Terenka was a little confused. He asked, "What are you doing?"
"I'm doing an experiment."
Destroying all the other eggs, Lou Bai explained, "I want to see what changes will happen when the eggs die."
Just then, pointing to the two halves of the eggs on the ground, Long Ke, who had been paying attention to the situation, suddenly exclaimed, "Disappeared, disappeared!"
That's right, just like the morning mist gradually dissipated under the sunlight, the dead eggs slowly became transparent, and then disappeared without a trace under the eyes of three living people.
"How could this happen?" Terenka widened his eyes in surprise. He had never paid attention to what changes would happen to the eggs after they died before.
Standing up, Lou Bai patted the dust off his legs and said, "Okay, don't be surprised, follow me."
"What? Where are you taking us?"
"Have you forgotten what I did before destroying the eggs?" While walking towards a place, Lou Bai turned his head and explained to Terenka, "I made a mark before, mixing my energy with the energy of the eggs."
After Lou Bai's explanation, Terenka, as a magician, immediately understood the implication of Lou Bai's words: "In other words, can we know the direction of the energy of the eggs based on this?"
"That's right."
After taking the two of them for a long way, Lou Bai finally stopped. He paused, looking at the familiar city in front of him, Lou Bai breathed a sigh of relief: "I think I know the truth."
"Long Ke is right, the dead insect eggs were recycled under the manipulation of the messenger behind the scenes. Trenka, if the insect eggs are compared to a house made of building blocks, your magic only broke the house, but did not destroy the building blocks."
"Next, these 'building blocks' will be recycled by the mastermind behind the scenes and rebuilt into a house."
Looking up at the hard-working elves, Lou Bai sighed and said: "I'm afraid this is also the reason why the number of insect eggs is always maintained at a certain level, because the total number of 'building blocks' has been determined."
"But even if we know this, what can we do?" Although he knew the mechanism of the disaster, Trenka did not show any relief.
"Don't worry, as long as we know this, we can prescribe the right medicine."
Under the visor, Lou Bai's mouth corners have risen: "From the fact that I couldn't completely destroy the eggs just now, I don't have the power to destroy the 'building blocks'."
"However, since we can't destroy them, we might as well change our ideas, for example, throw them far away."
"Throw them far away..." Listening to Lou Bai's words, Long Ke uttered a word uncertainly: "For example, exclude?"
"Hyouka!" Lou Bai snapped his fingers and praised: "Yes, it's just as you said. As long as these eggs are sent to another space, I don't think the mastermind behind the scenes can sit still."
Although Lou Bai's deck does not have powerful exclusion cards such as [Cause and Effect Cutoff], but thanks to the fact that [Thunder Dragon] often needs to be excluded to activate the effect, [Electronic Dragon] will also be excluded from the graveyard to fuse, Lou Bai also knows a thing or two about space.
Of course, it's not a powerful monster, just some eggs that have no resistance. Even Lou Bai, who knows a little bit, can easily deal with it.
Under the leadership of Trenka, Lou Bai followed him to a small house filled with shoveled eggs. Even though Trenka had just cleaned it up a few minutes ago, with the efforts of the whole city, there are now a lot of bags of eggs here.
"Okay, if you want to exclude it, this card is more suitable, right?"
Pulling out a card called [Burgess Beast-High-footed Cupworm] from the deck, Lou Bai's hand emitted light, and after a moment, this card turned into a trigger-like device.
Pressing this red device to one end of the driver, Lou Bai's armor changed slightly.
"Well, this state is called [Black Hole Form-Ultimate Weakened Version]."
Clenching his fist to feel his current strength, Lou Bai made a joke to amuse himself, then held the handle of the driver and spun it wildly.
[evoltic attack! Ciao! 】
An excited voice came from his waist, and Lou Bai's legs, with the power of space, flew into the air and fiercely kicked at those disgusting insect eggs.
Evol's figure passed through the small house, and behind him, a space crack opened silently, swallowing up the house and the insect eggs inside.
Just as those disgusting things disappeared, an angry roar sounded in the distant forest.
