Chapter 101 99. The Secret
Nocturne of the Arctic Wolf and the vermouth were stunned at the same time.
Could it be that the student in front of me was telling the truth?
They have all heard the legend of the Arctic Wolf, the boss of the White Wolf Club, and know that this famous figure is a fourth-year student who symbolizes the highest glory of the college. He belongs to a small group of strongest spellcasters in the entire college, including professors.
How could such a person defeat and capture them so easily?
"The Honesty Candle you bought has expired?" Nocturne asked.
"It's possible," Vermouth was also at a loss and put forward his own idea, "How about we give it a try." "
I am the Monkey King, Sun Wukong." Vermouth faced the pure white candle and tried a lie.
On the pure white candle, the flickering blue candle flame suddenly went out.
Vermouth relit the honesty candle and looked towards Nocturne.
"1+1=3." Nocturne tried a lie.
The dim blue candlelight went out again.
It seems there is nothing wrong with Honesty Candle? Vermouth thought as she lit the candle again.
"The P=NP problem will be proven by humans within 20 years."
Russell emerged from behind and tried a sentence that he didn't know whether it was a lie or the truth.
On the pure white candle, the faint blue candle flame flickered on and off, swaying wildly, as if it was uncertain whether it should be extinguished or continue to burn.
After struggling with the candle for a while, I finally made up my mind and chose to extinguish it.
Nocturne and Vermouth turned their attention to Russell behind them.
Russell was not polite - we are all members of the Wonton Society, what are you being polite about - asked:
"What does the extinguishing of the candle mean? Does it mean that the N=NP problem will not be proven by humans in 20 years? Or does it mean that I I am not sure about this future, but I said it as an affirmative statement. This is essentially a lie." Before
Wei Meisi could figure out the logical relationship, Russell explained in detail:
"I don't understand the Honest Candle very well. principle, so I tried it. When it identifies lies, does it target objective facts or subjective cognition?
"If it targets objective facts, then by asking general questions an unlimited number of times, we will achieve omniscience. If there is such a conscience, It would be best if you introduce me to the store of the product; if it is the liar’s subjective perception, how does it determine that the assumption is a lie? "
Vermouth probably understood.
He took out the candle instruction manual from the pocket of his black clothes. After reading it for a while, he finally found the relevant entry and read:
"The criterion for identifying lies with the Honest Candle is the speaker's subjective opinion. Cognition. Not the surface consciousness, but the fundamental understanding in the subconscious. Conjectures and fantasies caused by dreams, hypnosis, and daily fantasies will also be inconsistent with deep-rooted fundamental cognitions and be judged as lies.
"Okay, I have no problem. " "Russell helped relight the candle and turned his attention to the dim-eyed Arctic wolf.
"Based on the above principle, if this guy who is spying on us has not been fundamentally reshaped in memory and cognition, then he may really be a white wolf. Club boss, Arctic Wolf! "
Vermouth's face darkened, and the second half of Nocturne's face also darkened.
"Since I have joined the organization, I should be able to organize and serve! Next, let me do it for you and interrogate him. How about you? Russell put on a look of eagerness and interest, and turned to look at the two superiors. The
two did not speak.
Vermouth nodded slightly, showing recognition in his eyes.
Russell looked at Nocturne's eyes again, and found that both of her eyes were filled with tears. Being blocked by her bangs, it was assumed that her eyes were favorable.
Russell leaned towards Arctic Wolf and asked in a low voice:
"Since you are a fourth-year Arctic Wolf, why did you act so weak in the battle just now? "Arctic Wolf's eyes were confused and his voice was erratic:
"Because I'm so weak. My grades were forged. I cheated to get into the academy, and then I cheated to advance to the fourth grade.
"My real ability is about the same as that of an ordinary second-year student, and I haven't had actual combat for so long that I have forgotten all my practical experience. "I usually don't dare to take action at all, because I am afraid that others will know
my true ability. Only when he is disguised as he is now, can he dare to take action. "
I see... Russell remembered Husky's behavior in the abandoned tower. He did look like someone who hadn't fought for a while. But
at the time, he didn't know that this guy was actually the Arctic Wolf, the boss of the White Wolf Club.
Russell turned his head and reported to his two superiors. : "Arctic Wolf hides its strength, and its true level is mid-second-year strength. "
Nocturne and Vermouth looked at each other. They didn't quite understand what "mid-second grade strength" meant, but they could vaguely understand what it meant from the combination of these words. They were afraid that others would know how weak they were, so they didn't take action easily
. , is it also considered as hiding strength? Nocturne always felt that this wording was not quite right.
Russell then turned to the hypnotized Arctic Wolf:
"Can you remove the disguise? "
Arctic Wolf nodded slightly and wiped his face with both hands.
Because he was in a hypnotic state, he tried several times before he successfully mobilized his spiritual energy and lifted the "Change to Appearance" spell. The husky's approachable face disappeared
. The resolute, cold, arrogant, evil, and frightening face of the Arctic Wolf was revealed.
Seeing this face that appeared more than once in the college newspaper and official website, Nocturne and Vermouth were probably convinced, The guy in front of him was indeed the Arctic Wolf himself, and he became more and more aware that he knew a great secret.
Russell continued to interrogate:
"Do your brother, and the other people in the White Wolf Club, know that you are so weak? The Arctic
Wolf's eyes were blank, and he shook his head slowly: "I don't know, and neither does my brother." "
A hundred ways to use this secret as an excuse to blackmail the Arctic Wolf suddenly emerged in Russell's mind.
Hahaha, you don't want your brother to know about it, you are just in vain.
Russell continued to question a detail of the Arctic Wolf's words:
"How did you do it, cheat in the assessment for promotion to third grade and fourth grade? When you were studying in a higher education institution, didn’t any teacher find out that you were not worthy of your moral qualifications? It's not easy to cheat in college assessments. "
Arctic Wolf suddenly laughed:
"Someone helped me, a legendary great being.
"I was originally the biggest mediocrity in my family. I couldn't even achieve spiritual awakening or embark on the extraordinary path by myself.
"I am a loser. I was born in a wizarding family, but I failed repeatedly in the family's spiritual awakening ceremony. I was laughed at by both my parents, who were unwilling to say that I was their son.
"And my brother Bai, who is many years younger than me, is obviously more talented than me. I believe that he is destined to become a powerful third-grade spell caster in the future!"
The Arctic Wolf laughed while talking, as if he was mocking himself, shaking his head in a hypnotic state, but a few glimmers of light flashed in his dull eyes.
