Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2482 Brain Jellyfish

Could there really be living things in this hidden, special area?
Could it be that they only hide from outsiders like themselves, while the creatures of the Ash Sea can freely come and go?
That discovery was not just interesting, it was quite revolutionary.

"excuse me."

There's a reason for this judgment. Although it was a passive perception, at that moment Fu Qian was still able to confirm that what was behind the stone beam really did resemble marine life.

Floating and swaying, stretching and contracting like silk.

As Fu Qian called out, a ray of light suddenly appeared from behind.

Then a semi-transparent tentacle emerged from behind the stone beam.

Jellyfish?

Even though it was far above the water's surface, the tentacle still gave the impression of floating in the seawater.

The remaining portion that continued to drift out also strongly resembled some kind of marine life.

However, it is somewhat ambiguous. For example, the top part of the umbrella does not look like a clock or a saucer, but rather like a brain.
Although the description is somewhat bizarre, it was really apt at that moment.

The fluorescence did indeed emanate from the creature, and the dozens of filamentous tentacles below were definitely jellyfish-shaped.

Ironically, the most crucial part is a standard human brain.

Although the overall appearance is that of a jellyfish, which has a unique gelatinous texture.

"It's ok."

That wasn't even the most outrageous part; the next moment, Fu Qian received a voice coming from his brain.

Not only does it look like a brain, but it may even actually have the ability to communicate?

……

As the saying goes, politeness goes everywhere. No matter what the other person looks like, it's always good to be courteous.

Faced with a response that was even somewhat fluent, Fu Qian was quite satisfied with this unexpected gain at that moment.

The brain jellyfish seems to have even higher cognitive abilities than the giant creature mentioned earlier, which is good news in any case.

Unfortunately, given its small size and low rank, the other party is clearly more like a small fry in the Ash Sea than the brain of a fallen angel outside.

That's right, don't be so rigid in your thinking.

Since its appearance is already anthropomorphic, why can't its internal brain be the same as a human's?
While one may be searching for the head, it doesn't mean one can't search for the individual parts separately.

Upon seeing the design of the tentacles, Fu Qian immediately thought of this and made an assessment.

Unfortunately, the possibility seems rather small.

"Have you figured it out?"

Before Fu Qian could be polite again, Brain Jellyfish continued speaking, asking Fu Qian a question.

calculate?

Not only does he sound much more polite than most superiors, but he also seems to have a strong academic pursuit.
At that moment, even before paying, he was filled with admiration.

"Calculate what?"

He didn't cherish the precious time too much and just stood there, trying to discuss it with the other person.

"The crash site... I feel like I'm close to finding the answer, but my notes seem to be missing."

The brain jellyfish actually answered very quickly, and you could even hear the annoyance in its tone.

The notes are gone? I knew it, that really sounds like an intellectual.

Fu Qian listened attentively, showing no impatience even with the subsequent complaints. "That's really bad... So what was the point of impact?"

After the other person finished speaking and he genuinely empathized with them, he took the opportunity to continue asking questions without hesitation.

The reason is simple: this word just feels so familiar.

Just a moment ago, I was still recalling the scene of the superior descending from the sky.

"Of course, it's the place where stars fall, you..."

It's heartening to know that we've actually gotten an answer once again.

Where did the star fall?
It seems a little different from what one would imagine a superior being to be, but generally speaking, terms like "fallen star" don't seem too out of place when used to describe angels or superiors.
Furthermore, when Brain Jellyfish answered, her tone at the end seemed somewhat off, as if she realized that the other party's identity was questionable and that they might be trying to extract her data.

Even her swaying body seemed to move a little faster at that moment.

"I know, but is the point where the star fell really the source of the ashes? The more I calculate, the more I doubt this question. Is it possible that our assumptions are wrong?"

Fu Qian, sensing this, did not hesitate, but instead expressed similar research anxieties.

The reaction has already been so strong that it's clearly not a good idea to continue asking directly; we need to find a more indirect approach.

The claim that the point where the star fell was the source of the ashes was, of course, just something he made up off the top of his head.

How can one possibly ascertain the other party's theoretical foundation based on just a few words—a foundation that is also one's own?

I was just wondering if the rulers who fell in the long night were the origin of the Ash Sea.

And the reaction of the Brain Jellyfish to such a speculation is certainly something to look forward to.

The worst-case scenario is that the calculations of the landing point by the other party have nothing to do with the origin of the ashes, which makes them even more vigilant.

But since it's already difficult to communicate further in this situation, it's not a huge loss.

But if the other party has a different attitude, the gains will be much greater.

"Are you crazy?"

As it turns out, it was indeed a completely different attitude; the voice of Lord Brain Jellyfish sounded utterly unbelievable.

"Did you hide my notebook?"

The next moment, his voice turned somber, and he made a severe accusation against the man.

……

It even involves a dispute over academic approaches?
Others might be baffled, but for Professor Fu, who had been navigating the academic world for many years, some of his thought processes were too easy to understand, and he sighed inwardly at that moment.

Perhaps the ideal way to resolve academic disagreements is with a gentlemanly approach.

Various citations, calculations, and deductions were used, but the undeniable facts remained. Those who were right were remembered for eternity, while those who were wrong accepted their mistake and learned from the experience.

However, it cannot be ruled out that in many cases the incidents might be more straightforward, such as power outages, burning notebooks, or secretly altering experimental data.

Lord Brain Jellyfish clearly seems to have been immersed in this field for a long time, and instantly thought of this kind of competitive tactic—but it is still competition.

Regardless of how harsh the tone, it can be said to some extent that the theory of the source of ash may indeed have a theoretical basis.

In addition, based on general experience, once a dispute reaches this level, no amount of explanation or communication will be of any use—oh?

Sure enough, before the words were even finished, the jellyfish had already undergone a new change.

My already clear mind almost turned watery at that moment.

Through that clarity, one could see tiny, twinkling lights—the very star map we had been studying.

Just as Fu Qian felt a sense of familiarity, the light in the star chart also seemed to be kindly locking onto him, and then generating an exaggerated attraction.
