Love and passion, cutting up the wasteland.

"I see," Lu Meng said, knowing that Wolfe had not concealed anything. "It seems that sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing."

The reason why the World's End suppressed the application materials submitted by Savant was not for any academic suppression purpose, but for other purposes.

Perhaps they have already made up their mind.

All research involving ancient prototype languages ​​is considered a taboo that cannot be made public.

It's like Pandora's box.

What it hides may be the design of the skeleton man and the secret history behind it.

Just as Lu Meng had realized before, the Mechanic is the disseminator of history and lost civilization, but at the same time, this also means that the truth that the world can know has already been reviewed and edited by the End of the World.

Even their own people are no exception.

I think that in the past there must have been other brilliant people who, like Cervantes, deciphered other types of archetypes, but they were all unable to be released publicly due to pressure from high-level officials.

However, this time, the End of the World did not expect that the other party did not master a language at all, but directly dug out the things hidden in the magic box.

Being able to notice this in advance and hide it well is, in a sense, what makes Savante extraordinary.

"It is for this reason that I have never reported to World's End about my mastery of the Proto-language over the years." Wolfe nodded. "But I also suspect that the Mechanic already has its own part of the corpus, but has never shared it publicly. The same is true for its research results... I'm afraid that what my brother took away were these things."

This completes the last piece of the puzzle of Servant's theory.

Become a scholar.

"I have to say, Mr. Lu, you are lucky," Wolfe said, looking at Lu Meng. "If this letter written in the prototype language was sent to some other mechanic instead of me, the consequences would be unimaginable."

The study of proto-language itself is not a taboo. After all, if you want to understand ancient books, as long as you go a few more steps deeper on the basis of ancient language, you will enter the field of proto-language.

As long as there is no major gap in civilization, the development of language will not be a leap but a gradual one. Even today's common language has retained many words passed down from ancient times.

All the mechanics who are familiar with ancient languages ​​can understand this hieroglyphics to some extent...but few people are like Wolfe, who has mastered the entire system by chance.

Even if Wolfe had malicious intentions, he did not dare to report it to his superiors easily because it might involve Savent's affairs.

"Ah."

——Is it possible that I did it on purpose?

Lu Meng nodded in agreement on the surface, but he looked at Wolfe's youthful appearance, but his heart was distracted.

This genius mechanic always says "many years ago"... If you convert his age, when he met Savent at the end of the world, wasn't he just a little kid in the eyes of outsiders?

Plus his cocky personality...

Perhaps this is the reason why Wolfe was not suspected by the End of the World.

After all, who could have imagined that a child of seven or eight years old would be involved in a major case involving the assassination of a mechanic, looting of data, and defecting from the headquarters?

Even if someone interrogates you afterwards, it would at most be an investigation and evidence collection, and you can still get away with it easily.

On the contrary, it was Savante... Based on Lu Meng's understanding of "scholars", the reason why he was willing to share his research results with Wolfe was probably not simply because he was confused by the child's age and lost his vigilance in front of the other party.

After all, they have known each other for a long time.

In addition, Wolfe was able to learn the entire language at such a fast speed, which undoubtedly showed his talent.

Never treat them as ignorant children.

Then there must be other intentions behind Savante's behavior - looking at Wolfe's expression, Lu Meng sighed secretly.

Judging from the tone of the young man, although he mentioned Savante with fear, it was more because of the worry of being implicated and the doubts about the truth of the incident.

And he does not have much resentment towards his senior brother himself.

I'm afraid that in his opinion, there was another hidden story behind Savent's defection.

For this reason, I was attracted by the letter written in Chinese by Lu Meng and wanted to find out more relevant information.

And this is the hidden clue that the scholar left inside the mechanic.

'Not to mention that the World's End wanted to suppress the publication of the results at most, and contacting the scholar in advance also meant to recruit him into the upper echelons. After all, the other party has proved his ability and is close to the secrets of this continent... But he still acted brazenly and defected. ' Lu Meng thought, 'This proves that the scholar believes that the value of what he has mastered is far beyond what the mechanic can bring him.'

That is to control all the skeletons.

Receive the entire legacy of the Second Empire.

The end of the world is protected by technology hunters, but who would have thought that the threat came from within the seemingly gentle and weak researchers?
This is not a fantasy.

Lu Meng and others have actually encountered this.

Chad traveled the Gray Shelf and encountered a gang of human skin bandits - people who wore human skin in the bodies of skeletons in the hope of becoming human.

This logic is exactly the same as that of Ling Er, who was commissioned by scholars.

These skeletons' minds were obviously tampered with.

Whether harmonious or not, the scholar has used what he calls "psychology" to deeply inscribe instructions on their underlying operations.

This drives obedience.

Of course, an ordinary skeleton covered with human skin cannot become a human being. It will just look like a scary and bloody monster... But what if it is a whistleblower?

Zero Two may not be an isolated case.

If a whistleblower who has been brainwashed by scholars approaches Wolfe under the pretext of having clues, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Thinking of this, Lu Meng couldn't help but feel fortunate that the "wild" whistleblower he met in the depression lagoon this time was looking for flesh and blood to exchange for his life.

It has to be said that, based on the scholar's understanding of ancient history, his brainwashing method may have been inspired by the theory of flesh and blood replacement.

Just chose the other side.

"Some humans want to become skeletons... and some skeletons want to become humans." Lu Meng thought, "In short, no one wants to be themselves."

Although it is cruel to break a person's filter and admiration for young idols.

But he decided to at least give the mechanic a heads-up.

In a sense, it also causes trouble for scholars.

The last time he sent Ling Er to the edge of the revenge land, if Lu Meng had not been prepared, once the other party changed into Ji Hai's skin, he would most likely get closer to the entire top level and even get involved in the entire grassland.

This is the terrifying thing about the Whistleblowers. No wonder once they joined the rebellion against the Old Empire, even though the Ancients certainly had countermeasures, they still caused great destruction and chaos, and ultimately caused the balance of war to tilt towards the Skeletons.

It has indeed been a great achievement.

Judging from the previous one, the surviving whistleblowers seem to be dissatisfied with the results and treatment they have received.

That's understandable.

But in the final analysis, the Second Empire is gone, and they should be the ones to be reckoned with.

I have experienced all the sufferings I should have experienced, but I have also experienced all the happiness I should have enjoyed and the sins I should have committed.

Today's world.

There is no reason why I should give it to you.

However, in the case of Zero Two, although it was Lu Meng who ultimately took advantage of the other party and conveyed the wrong information to the Land of Revenge to maintain a stalemate balance - he has not yet settled the score with the scholar who sent Zero Two.

Now, removing his secret connection within the mechanics can be considered as getting some of the money back.

Click.

Just as Lu Meng was about to speak, a slight sound was heard from inside the house, causing them all to look in that direction.

Wolfe frowned: "What are you doing?"

"Um..." Lu Dai secretly pushed his chair away and stood up but was caught. He held the dictionary and said timidly, "I just remembered that I still have some homework to finish. I have to hurry up..."

She was originally listening with great interest, enjoying the ups and downs of the story...but the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong.

Finally, I was sweating profusely.

Is this something I could know?

Are you kidding? One is the King of Flash Red, and the other is the chief mechanic of Lake Town... What's more, even a teacher of such status has not dared to reveal it to others or expose himself in front of the headquarters for many years.

As a junior apprentice, how could she be qualified to know and keep such a secret?

She obviously just wanted to go to school well.

Now that I know nothing before, I am at the end of the world and I don’t understand anything, so I can only act a little stupid.

This time I was keeping the secret in my heart, and I was trembling with fear that I might let it slip in my sleep while staying in the dormitory...

Lu Dai just hated that no one told her whether she had the habit of talking in her sleep.

But judging from the attitude of this nameless person, what he is about to say is even more terrifying than what he has revealed before.

No wonder the teacher had such an entrusting tone before.

This is more burdensome than entrusting an orphan to someone else!

"I, I don't know anything..." Facing the two men's blank stares, Lu Dai shrank his head, "Can you just pretend that I have never been here today..."

"Sit down!" Wolfe said mercilessly, "What are you thinking? You want to skip class."

Lu Meng didn't say anything, but just took a sip of a glass of water to moisten his throat. His attitude was self-evident.

Lu Dai sat down awkwardly.

"Mr. Wolfe, there's no need for us to be so nervous." Seeing her uneasy look, Lu Meng remembered something and turned around to ease the atmosphere. "Have you ever heard of an animal..."

"Ok?"

The one who reacted faster than Wolfe was Lu Dai. She was stunned and looked directly at Lu Meng.

She had no doubt about it.

What the other party will say next is——

"Hamster." Lu Meng said.

"Oh, that's true." Wolfe suddenly realized, "The kind that hides in a corner when frightened."

Lu Dai: “…”

The culprit is you after all!
The apprentice was completely disheartened.

……

……

"Long time no see," the capable long-haired woman scratched her head, "Although it's not that long, right? Haha..."

The sun is shining brightly on the platform of the depression lagoon. This is probably the last residual warmth that the stars in the sky project to this continent before winter.

Although thin.

But it's better than being chilled to the bone.

Several people strolled on the steel platform, and the crowds around them became bustling again. As the storm subsided, order was restored, and merchants resumed their business, the depression lagoon returned to its former appearance.

But it seems, a little different.

"It did take a long time," Lu Meng said to Lin Ji, who was laughing beside him, answering the question irrelevantly but hinting at something, "So, are you planning to auction off my stuff?"

The place where they stopped was the specialty store of the Depression Lagoon, where all the things looted from the ancient ruins would be shown.

Although most of the good stuff will be captured by the technology hunters themselves, only a very small number of relics that they do not value or have stored too much will be released to the market, usually through auction bidding - even so, there are many passing merchants who are happy to participate.

After all, for them, if they can get the goods in the depression lagoon and resell them, they can make a lot of money, and if they are lucky, they can actually pick up some good treasures that have been missed.

“How is that possible!” Lin Ji’s words fell into thin air, and he quickly denied it, “Of course it’s because the people here are the most professional in maintenance and pollution removal…”

“Guaranteed to be brand new.”

She walked to the counter, took out a large plastic bag, and unfolded it to show Lu Meng.

However, they were the weapons he had left behind during the previous drilling battle.
