Chapter 226 Coaxing the Children
"You, you...did you think of something?"
While Paimon was dumbfounded, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Abei Xi and Ying who were deep in thought. Thinking back, they seemed to have maintained this meaning for a long time, and they couldn't help but wonder if the other party had recalled something.
"No, I'm pretty sure he didn't tell me anything more. However, the current situation is not difficult to understand. I'm just sorting out the situation."
The two people in deep thought were interrupted by Paimon's question, and Abei Xi came out of deep thought to respond to her words. Fortunately, she has sorted out the current information.
"There are only two possibilities for him not mentioning this:
First, he forgot.
Second, he did it intentionally. "
Abei Xi proposed two possibilities, and then extended two fingers one after another. She looked at the traveler, her face as calm as ever.
"Based on what you know about him, what do you think the probability of the first possibility is?"
"Well...it's hard to imagine that he would make such a stupid mistake."
"That's right, Paimon. So we can jump right to the second possibility."
Ying took the topic without hesitation, thinking that there was no need to discuss this situation at all. Although everyone makes mistakes, it involves a question of probability when it comes to individuals.
This probability is undoubtedly very low for Zuo Xi.
Instead of wasting time discussing the long-shot possibilities, be realistic and jump right into the next situation.
"Well, that's my judgment as well. It's basically certain that this is the second possibility - he did it on purpose.
Let me tell you the conclusion directly. I speculate that the reason why he didn't say anything was to guard against someone or something.
The purpose of our trip is probably to search for something, something that cannot be seen in the light, or even known to exist. "
Abeixi was still so efficient. Even if she knew that the traveler or the UFO next to her would probably still get to the bottom of things, she naturally chose to tell the conclusion directly.
"I think so too...and that thing should only be accessible to "special" people... We should be the kind of "special" people he thinks can be contacted. "
Ying continued Abeixi's conclusion, thinking thoughtfully. According to this statement, she needs to find the common ground between herself and Abei Xi, so that she can make the next step of judgment.
"This, this is it... No, no, what are you talking about? Why can't Paimon understand a word?"
Paimon nodded confusedly, but she didn't understand a word. The feeling that she was the only one left behind made her panic, flying around Ying, spinning around anxiously.
"Paimon, don't worry, I'll tell you slowly."
Ying held Paimon flying in the air in her arms and comforted him. After Paimon calmed down, he slowly explained his own reasoning process to the other party.
"Actually, it's not difficult to guess. Think about it, what kind of mission requires so many people? Zuo Xi has arranged an entire army for us."
Paimon calmed down and stayed quietly in Ying's arms, racking his brains to think about the questions Ying had asked to guide her.
"Hmm... Going to fight a very powerful person, or find a treasure that is hard to find?"
Although the way of answering was very Paimon's own style, there was nothing wrong with the answer itself. Outside of war, when a large army can be used, it is either a blanket search or a large-scale suppression.
Both of these are possible in Yuanxia Palace.
"That's right, it's either an encirclement and suppression of powerful enemies, a large-scale war, or a treasure hunt. Generally, these are the only possibilities. Then Paimon, think about it again, which situation is most suitable for the current Yuanxia Palace? Woolen cloth?"
Ying nodded, applauding Paimon for his wit. Then she stopped holding Paimon, and continued to guide him after sending him back into the air. Try your best to make the other person feel like "she is thinking" and give her a sense of participation.
"Oh! Paimon knows, there must be a very powerful enemy sealed here, and it also guards a very rare peerless treasure! Because it is a very rare peerless treasure, Zuo Xi didn't want others to know, so he looked for it I asked someone I trust to come over... So that’s it, that’s it! Paimon completely understands!”
God knows how she connected all the clues in a completely different way and in such a completely unexpected way. In short, when Paimon confidently said this explanation, he just felt a twinge in his eyes. black.
"You, what you said makes sense..."
Ying finally recovered and tried to speak in her mind. She was thinking about a way to reject her "confident" speculation without hurting Paimon's pride.
"Ms. Paimon, do you think that if there is such a powerful enemy that requires so many troops to suppress, in Zuo Xi's opinion, what is the best solution?"
While Ying was racking her brains to think of how to bring back the confident Paimeng, Abeixi took on this task that was similar to "coaxing a child". For no other reason than because it was not easy for the traveler to do it, she had to do it.
"Eh? Let me think about it... Zuo Xi would probably call out his "Super Big Mac" and beat that guy away, right? "
Paimon is actually a very simple and easy-to-guide person. As long as someone asks a question, she will think about it subconsciously and forget what she was worrying about just now.
This is actually a common characteristic of most people, but Paimon is more easily influenced than most people.
"...That one is called the "God-killing Mecha", but forget it. You are right. When encountering a strong enemy, he often chooses to deal with it himself, rather than letting others fill the gap with his life. So Paimon, there probably isn't any "very powerful enemy" here. "
Abeixi slowly gave her final answer. Because of the previous foreshadowing, Paimon had already overturned her own thoughts, so she didn't feel as if she was shocked.
"Oh, what you said makes sense! Then, those treasures...many, many moras?"
Although the matter of "powerful enemy" has been denied, Paimon still has an extraordinary obsession with "treasure".
"It's a pity, Ms. Paimon. His financial strength is obvious to all, and I believe you also have a deep understanding of it... It's enough to make him tempted, and he even doesn't hesitate to hide his wealth... To be honest, I don't think there is such a thing in the world. Plant something.”
