Chapter 371 The Ultimate Goal
After many months, Su Ming finally received the initial "auditory hallucination" again - Wang Lin was calling.
"Hey, Su Ming, how are you doing lately?"
"The situation is not good. I have encountered a lot of troubles." Su Ming said, "By the way, what on earth am I doing here? Is there nothing else to do besides becoming stronger?"
"Becoming stronger is a prerequisite for achieving your goal. For some reasons, I cannot tell you the specific reasons. I can only tell you what to do. You have super intuition, so you should know that you can trust me, right?"
"What am I going to do?"
"First, become stronger. Second, there is a kind of people in this world who have the ability to eliminate their own presence and make it impossible for other people to sense their existence. If you become strong enough, then go and kill those people that no one else can see. This is the purpose of your coming to this world." Wang Lin said.
Su Ming frowned when he heard this: "I came to this world to kill those people with mysterious eyes?"
"Oh? It seems you have already encountered them. How many people did you kill?"
"Why should I kill them?" Su Ming asked.
"Didn't I just say that I can't tell you the reason? You just need to know that you have to kill them." Wang Lin said.
Su Ming was a little anxious. He suddenly knew why he had such a bad feeling when Xia Xiaoyu was chasing him. It seemed that she was setting an ambush for him! His mission in this world was to kill Xia Xiaoyu!
Wait, that shouldn't be the case. We can't ignore the details when thinking about a problem. Super intuition cannot have a predictive effect on indirect events. So when he felt that bad things would happen when he was with Xia Xiaoyu, it shouldn't be referring to Xia Xiaoyu's identity. Moreover, ever since Xia Xiaoyu had done it to him, that feeling has never appeared again, so... it shouldn't be a problem in this regard.
Su Ming took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
"Wang Lin, I have a question."
"What's the problem? You're hesitating. That's not like you."
"That is... I have a friend who is also a member of the Mysterious Eye. Can I not kill her?" Su Ming asked.
Wang Lin on the opposite side was silent.
The silence lasted for ten seconds. The blank silence gave Su Ming a bad feeling, but his super intuition reminded him that it was useless and there was no need to worry. This made Su Ming feel as if he was schizophrenic and made him feel uncomfortable.
"If I say no, you won't do it, right? You're lucky. It's okay to kill one or two less people. You just need to make sure that most of them are wiped out. As for the remaining people, please make sure they don't feel any pain. If possible, you can make them live as happily as possible."
Wang Lin paused for a moment, then continued, "After all this talk, you should know how to carefully select the people to be pardoned, right?"
"Well, I will make her happy." Su Ming replied casually while thinking about other issues.
"Make her happy? That person is a woman?" Wang Lin's tone changed significantly. "You found a woman?"
"Ah? This... this." Su Ming could sense the shock in Wang Lin's tone, "Isn't it normal to fall in love?"
"Haha, Su Ming, you are awesome! Didn't you say that women will only affect your sword-drawing speed? Now that you have lost your memory, you know how to fall in love?!"
"Why are you so angry? Could it be that... you pursued me before I lost my memory, and then I rejected you with this reason?" Su Ming guessed.
Su Ming heard Wang Lin take a deep breath, as if she was calming down. Then she said, "It's up to you. I don't care anyway! You can do whatever you want when the time comes. Anyway, I have said everything I want to say. If you have any questions later, feel free to contact me. Anyway, your coordinates have been exposed in more than 1,800 planes around you, so there is no need to contact you secretly. A group of people are heading your way. Be prepared."
"Wait! There is another large group of people coming to kill me? Are you kidding me? I can't even handle the first group of people now." Su Ming said seriously.
"Haha, maybe it's the woman who affected your sword-drawing speed." Wang Lin didn't miss the opportunity to mock Su Ming. "Time is fair to everyone. Geniuses and losers only have 24 hours. Once you spend all your practice time in bed, it's only natural that a genius will become a piece of trash."
"Can you please speak nicely? I feel like you have a lot of objections to my dating behavior. If you have any objections, just say it! Don't be sarcastic!" Su Ming said in a stern tone.
"What objection can I have? I have absolutely no objection. I have to get down to business. That's it."
"Wait!... Don't hang up yet, I have something to ask you." Su Ming shouted.
"Hiss...what else do you want?" Wang Lin asked with a hint of impatience.
"I just thought of something. Is it possible that the purpose of my coming to this world is to kill a demon that no one can see or sense? And the people who contracted that demon are the people of the Mysterious Eye. The reason why I can't let those people feel pain is to prevent them from providing power to that demon?"
"...Don't make random guesses." Wang Lin's tone instantly became calm. "Just do what I ask you to do. You never doubt me, do you?"
"I understand." Su Ming said.
Su Ming knew that Wang Lin was absolutely trustworthy. Although he and Wang Lin had only spoken a few words on the phone, he knew that the other party was 100% trustworthy.
Even Su Ming couldn't figure out the reason for this trustworthy feeling. It was a completely intuitive judgment made on his own. The only reason Su Ming could find for this trust was the vague trust and tacit understanding between them when they communicated.
Su Ming knew that the other party knew him very well.
In addition, he also knew the ultimate purpose of this time travel.
Perhaps it was fate that he entered the key main line from the first day he came into this world. Who would have thought that his wife would be the apparent leader of the organization he was planning to destroy? Now, helping Xia Xiaoyu break free from the control of the organization and saving the world, these two things suddenly overlapped and became one. There was one less thing to do, and the pressure of doing things was suddenly relieved a lot.
Su Ming felt that although Wang Lin did not directly state that his target this time was a certain demon, he guessed that his ultimate goal was a demon... a "non-existent" demon.
Based on his current understanding of the world, using emotions such as pain is a common means for demons to grow and survive, and killing the contractors can slow down the growth of demons, which is also a well-known fact.
Under these two major premises, the step of killing the Mysterious Eye can be completely understood as a prerequisite for killing the Mysterious Demon. Letting the surviving people with the Mysterious Eye not feel pain is also to further weaken the growth rate of the demon.
Su Ming remembered that when he had just traveled to this world, the system reminded him that he had deleted his memory in order to carry out a high-risk mission. Can this be understood as the existence of memory being a burden for this mission?
For the time being, let's roughly and directly regard memory as a storage medium for information. This ability to recognize information poses a huge risk to this task. So can it be understood that the recognition of certain things will pose a huge risk, or that the elimination of a certain existence should be carried out without being known?
Although this reasoning had no basis and was just an explanation given by forcibly linking some abnormal intelligence with an assumption, Su Ming felt that the possibility of this explanation being true was not low.
So let's assume that such a demon exists. The ability of this demon is likely to be similar to that of Xia Xiaoyu, or even stronger than that of Xia Xiaoyu. Now it is tentatively determined that the ability of this demon is to prevent people from knowing its existence, or to put people who know of its existence in danger... In view of these characteristics, let's temporarily call it the unknowable demon.
This unknowable demon signed some kind of contract with Xia Xiaoyu and his group, so Xia Xiaoyu naturally knew that demon.
The memory of that demon might have been forgotten due to amnesia, but now that Xia Xiaoyu has recovered her memory, why didn’t she tell herself?
Could it be that Xia Xiaoyu knew that revealing information about the devil would bring him disaster, so he didn't mention a word about such a crucial matter?
Su Ming nodded as he thought about it, feeling that his guess was very likely.
However, in addition to this speculation, there is another speculation, and Su Ming feels that the possibility of that speculation is not low.
Su Ming felt that Xia Xiaoyu didn't seem to remember that she had signed a contract with this demon.
"Anyway, just ask."
If other people were to encounter this situation, they would immediately fall into the situation of Schrödinger's question, because if they asked Xia Xiaoyu this question and Xia Xiaoyu answered no, then they would not know whether Xia Xiaoyu was lying. If Xia Xiaoyu answered yes, would the disclosure of this information be considered as leaking relevant information about the devil? Would they be in danger?
If Su Ming did not have super intuition, it would be difficult for him to even ask a question. But now that he has super intuition, all problems are no longer problems. Su Ming can even use his perception to reversely infer the answers to questions that have not yet been asked.
Since there is no warning of danger when asking questions, there are only two results: Xia Xiaoyu does not know the relevant information about the unstoppable demon, or she knows it and revealing this information will not pose any danger to Su Ming.
This kind of prediction is already an indirect prediction. Super intuition did not give an indirect result, but Su Ming used his logical thinking to associate it with the most likely situation.
Perhaps, this is also one of the uses of super intuition. Su Ming thought to himself, feeling as if he had become smarter again.
He sat on the terrace looking at the beautiful manor below, took a breath of fresh air, took out his newly bought high-end mobile phone, and called Xia Xiaoyu.
As soon as the call was connected, Xia Xiaoyu's pleasant and clear voice came from the other end: "Dear, I am transferring money to Sunshine Bank on Beach Island now. I will transfer 150 million to you first, and then go to the other four banks later. It should be enough for you for a while.
To be honest, it felt great to come out! The scenery on the beach island is super beautiful. Can you believe that this is an empty island, but the ocean is surrounding it, just like an island in the sea!
How about we come together next time? No one has ever put sunscreen on me in my life. "
Apply sunscreen to Xia Xiaoyu?
Su Ming narrowed his eyes, imagining the slippery touch and the snow-white visual impact, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The feeling of relaxing on the beach was also very good. After solving the most important thing, he could indeed go to the island for vacation with Xia Xiaoyu and relax.
But now, let me ask Xia Xiaoyu that question first.
" Uh... the money is enough for now, I..."
"Oh, right! There was an island I passed by before that was also awesome! What was it called? Um... oh! Now I remember, it's the Godzilla Archipelago, an archipelago of many small islands floating close together, and there are a lot of ferocious beasts there!
The locals keep tigers and lions as pets. The tigers and lions there are super cute! They won’t bite you at all!
But why do they call it the Godzilla Islands? I think calling it the Beast Island or the Pet Island would be more distinctive and the tourism industry would be more prosperous. "
"Uh...just now." Su Ming rubbed his brows, thinking hard about what he was about to say just now.
He wanted to ask a question just now, but his train of thought was disrupted by Xia Xiaoyu's series of machine-gun-like words.
"Oh, I remember! Xiaoyu, have you ever signed a contract with the devil?" Su Ming asked.
"Ah? Devil? No, why do you ask?" Xia Xiaoyu asked back.
"Nothing, just asking casually, because your ability to hide from others doesn't seem to be innate, and you can share it with others, so I wonder if it's the power of the devil."
"Well... come to think of it, it does look a bit like that, but I haven't made a contract with the devil." Xia Xiaoyu said seriously.
It's true. If that's the case, then Xia Xiaoyu must have completely forgotten about the contract she signed with the unknown devil.
"It's okay. How was Flora when you left Dongyang Island?" Su Ming asked with concern.
"Before I left, I listened to the minister and the deputy director talking. They didn't plan to hand Flora over to the Alliance. During the last operation to capture Flora, the deputy director captured the public security personnel sent by the Alliance. Currently, these people are regularly injected with zombie drugs by machines and locked in those chairs. The deputy director plans to use the honest recorder to test whether these people are from the Mysterious Eye and leave evidence.
It seems... if this incident goes well, the deputy director intends to launch a coup against the top leaders of the Seven Gods Alliance. Flora is currently being well taken care of, and no one knows where she is except the deputy director and the minister... Oh, I'm wrong, I know that too.
Anyway, don't worry! She's fine now!" Xia Xiaoyu comforted.
Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief and nodded slightly. If something really happened to Flora, he really didn't know what to do.
To be honest, Su Ming didn't understand why Flora helped him so much. He didn't think he had helped her much.
"Come here, I'll wait for you." Su Ming said.
