Chapter 52: Deducing and guessing the cause and effect
Facing everyone's anxious gazes, Gu Chen looked a little embarrassed:
“There is indeed such a saying, and the source of this saying is no longer traceable.
Do the top three Fatui possess power comparable to that of the gods? I can only say that it is very likely.
So, everyone, never underestimate the Fatui."
No one thought Gu Chen was talking nonsense.
So after hearing this warning, the atmosphere was solemn.
In the silence, Shen He, who was sitting there, spoke blankly:
"So, I was plotted against by someone with divine power?
Thinking this way...it doesn't seem so shameful."
Suddenly, a black line appeared on Gu Chen’s head.
Is there anyone who comforts himself in this way?
But...you know what, this kind of thinking can really comfort myself.
However, Gu Chen couldn't help but shook his head:
“That’s not the way it should be.
I'm basically certain that the doctor who plotted against Shen He wasn't the doctor himself, but at most one of his slices."
"What is slicing?" Paimon asked seriously on behalf of everyone else.
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen replied:
“The Doctor is a mad genius.
He once acquired a certain technology that could separate himself at any point in time, allowing him to observe the world and himself at different ages.
He called the parts of him separated at different times slices.
If you really can't understand it, you can think of it as a special kind of clone."
These last words were undoubtedly meant for Shen He and Paimeng.
Except for Shen He, the other immortals present basically understood it.
It was precisely because they understood that the immortals were still frightened.
Separate yourself at different ages and time points and cut them into slices.
This kind of thing, this kind of method... is really hard to imagine!
Even if you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can feel the horror of this doctor just by hearsay.
Calling him a mad genius is definitely not an exaggeration!
Because of this, the immortals understood how dangerous this guy was, and became deeply wary of the Doctor and the Fatui.
Noticing that everyone was in a bad mood, Gu Chen smiled and comforted everyone:
“Don’t be too depressed, everyone.
The doctor is indeed terrifying and his mind is indeed shrewd. We must take the enemy seriously tactically and despise the enemy strategically.
What's more, the Fatui may not be our out-and-out enemies.
Besides, isn't the Doctor the second-in-command of the Fatui?
According to what I said before, he has the power comparable to that of a god.
Haha, I have also thought about it privately, maybe it is not the doctor himself who possesses the power comparable to that of a god.
Instead, he integrated all his slices together and possessed a power comparable to that of a god.
In short, we need to be on guard against this person, but there's no need to treat him as a lingering nightmare."
This joking exhortation finally relieved some of the gloom in everyone's hearts, and everyone nodded.
Gradually, the topic returned to Shen He.
Liu Yun said indignantly:
"So why did this doctor want to harm Shen He?"
Talking about this issue, Gu Chen seemed to be thinking:
"Actually, I think the doctor's initial target might not be Shen He. His initial target should be the remnants of the demon god."
Xiao then asked:
"Oh? What do you mean by this?"
After thinking for a while, Gu Chen explained seriously:
"I considered this from two perspectives: the relationship between Liyue and Winter Solstice, and the Doctor's own personality.
Let’s first talk about the relationship between Liyue and Zhidong.
Winter Solstice has formed the Fatui, who are actively plotting in the Seven Kingdoms. They are obviously planning something big, and their plans... cannot be revealed.
No matter what the plan is, Zhidong does not want to create unnecessary enemies before the plan, so it will not completely go against Liyue.
Even though Zhidong is very powerful, Liyue’s national strength cannot be underestimated.
What's more, Liyue is ruled by the Geo Emperor, the oldest and most powerful of the Seven Ruling Gods. Only if Zhidong has a mental problem will they completely fall out."
Liu Yun nodded as he listened:
"Well, that makes sense.
What about the Doctor's personality?"
Folding his arms, Gu Chen looked a little sad:
"I don't know much about this guy, Doctor.
However, I know that he is an extremely shrewd and intelligent scholar with a crazy thirst for knowledge and research on all the knowledge in the world.
Among them, he seemed to have an extraordinary desire to study powers such as the remnants of the demon.
This time his slices ran to Liyue, probably for the remains of the demon.
For a smart person like the doctor, it would be easy to find out that there is a demon god suppressed and sealed by the Emperor near Qingce Village.
I wonder if his slicing skills weren't good enough, or if he didn't want to work hard? In any case, he didn't do it himself this time.
Coincidentally, I met Shen He.
It just so happened that the doctor took a liking to Shen He because of his extraordinary strength and the fact that he was a disciple of an immortal.
So he used Shen He to break the seal and find the remaining power of the demon.
As for the sneak attack on Shen He later, cutting the red rope on Shen He...
I'm not sure if he had planned this in advance and realized that the red rope was very important to Shen He.
He didn't expect that when he attacked Shen He, he accidentally cut the red rope.
But no matter what, the result was that Shen He was possessed by the remnants of the demon.
The doctor got this unexpected and surprising result and carefully observed and recorded Shen He while he was possessed.
Everyone listened, but no one said anything and no one interrupted.
Paimon thought about it and nodded seriously:
"Well, that's a reasonable guess."
Gu Chen continued to deduce:
“What happened next is probably…
After being possessed by the remnants of the demon god, Shen He went completely mad and blew up the mountain from the inside!
After the mountain collapsed, the doctor's slice should have escaped in time.
Later, Xiao and I arrived and rescued Qingce Zhuang and Shen He, and finally until now..."
Having said that, Gu Chen frowned again.
Seeing this, True Lord Xueyue Zhuyang couldn't help but ask:
"What? Is there something wrong?"
Gu Chen nodded:
"really.
Everything seems to be going smoothly, but there is one thing that doesn't make sense.
After the remnant of the demon possessed Shen He, why did the doctor leave so easily?
After all, this is a powerful material that has been possessed and driven mad by the remains of a demon...
Sorry, please allow me to use the word "material". I guess the doctor also uses this word.
In short, having encountered such a rare example, according to the doctor's personality, he should continue to study, observe and record it, right?
Why did he leave so early?"
As Gu Chen asked the question, everyone started to think about it and couldn't help but feel very confused.
Yes, if the doctor really has a strong desire for research, he would not give up research and observation so easily when encountering such an example.
There is something that doesn't make sense here.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Gu Chen's mind, and he realized that he had overlooked something.
