I created the myth of the Great Old Ones.

Where is that couple now?

Lu Ban asked.

“They should have already gone abroad. They left Jiangcheng and settled abroad two years later. We found their contact information, but to avoid alerting them, we didn’t contact them directly.”

"Trist said."

"To stir up trouble?"

Xia, who was flipping through the files, glanced over here.

Because Drizzt's words made it seem as if the two businessmen were also criminal suspects, and as a professional police officer, he shouldn't have made a judgment so early.

"You've seen the impact of that jade pendant. It's hard to imagine that as a collectible, the jade pendant didn't cause any problems in their hands. There must be some hidden story."

Tristan explained.

"Let's contact them directly."

Lu Ban said.

"So direct?"

Trist was somewhat skeptical of Lu Ban.

"If it really is a contaminant from another land, then they would definitely want to retrieve this item; there's no reason for them to just run away."

Lu Ban said.

These two businessmen were either victims or insiders. If they were the former, they would definitely want to know more if they learned that the perpetrator who harmed their child had been brought to justice. If they were the latter, they would certainly want to know the whereabouts of the jade pendant.

"I feel like after talking to you for a while, I'm starting to feel like I'm in another world."

Drizzt muttered something.

"Maybe it really is."

Xia suddenly spoke up.

Chapter 911 Analysis Based on Rationality

Hearing Sia's words, Trist was somewhat surprised. He reached out and took the temperature of his colleague's daughter's forehead.

"You caught a cold from being in the air conditioning too long just now, didn't you?"

"I am perfectly sober."

Sia tilted her head back, avoiding Trist's hand.

"I'm just basing my analysis on reason..."

As she spoke, Xia searched for something on the table, and then fell silent.

What are you looking for?

Lu Ban watched as Xi Ya rummaged through drawers and cabinets, unaware of her target.

At this moment, Trist sighed, opened his drawer, took out an energy bar, and handed it to Sia.

"That's good, thank you, Uncle."

Xia immediately beamed with joy, took the energy bar, tore open the packaging, and started munching on it.

In no time, the energy bar was gone, and Xia satisfiedly gulped down her water.

"I'm full."

Looking at Xi Ya's appearance, Lu Ban suddenly felt that it made a lot of sense.

"I'm sorry, I usually feel like eating whenever I use my brain, because I use too much mental energy."

Xia smiled a little shyly.

"It's okay. In the real world, you also enjoy eating."

Lu Ban replied.

"Ah, speaking of the real world, I think you may indeed have come into contact with another world."

"Sia said."

"From a psychological perspective, well, never mind the jargon you wouldn't understand, basically it's that some things can leave an impression not only in an individual's mind but also in a collective's mind, which can lead to certain cognitions being generated even when an individual has never been exposed to them."

"What does this have to do with his illness?"

Tristan couldn't help but ask.

"So, it's possible that some civilizations or other worlds have had contact with humans in our world and left corresponding knowledge deep in their memories. Lu Ban just happened to remember it. This explains why his life was normal for the past twenty years, but he suddenly started talking about these things after a serious illness."

Sia explained.

"Isn't this a bit outrageous?"

Tristan was skeptical.

After all, the idea of ​​another world is really hard for people to accept.

"It's better than saying he time-traveled and was possessed, right?"

Sia added.

"That's true..."

Trist nodded.

"Moreover, another world is not impossible. Even if the probability of another world appearing is infinitely close to zero, on a cosmic scale, this probability is equivalent to one hundred percent."

Xia said again, glancing at Lu Ban.

"We also witnessed the harm caused by that jade pendant. It's hard to explain with known science. Besides, we can't go to another world. Isn't it better to just treat it as a setting to discuss?"

"really……"

Trist recalled some fantasy novels he had read, which contained bizarre and fantastical settings. If one were to dwell on the plausibility of these basic settings, there would be no fun at all.

"By the way, I heard that I exist in another world too?"

"Sia asked curiously."

"Correct."

Lu Ban replied.

"According to your pathology report, you have a disease that allows you to remember everything you've ever seen, and during treatment, you've developed a condition where you process and recreate those things, turning them into fantasy stories, right?"

Sia confirmed.

"That's it."

Lu Ban nodded.

"So, in your 'real world,' what kind of person am I?"

Xia asked.

"He was a magician who, perhaps because of his harsh daily life, was not picky about the taste of food and had a big appetite. He was also very strong in combat. In the end, in order to save a world, he turned into a cherry blossom tree."

Lu Ban paused for a moment, then continued.

"A magician, that's pretty impressive."

Xia nodded, then thought for a moment.

"However, the idea of ​​turning into a tree to save a world is quite interesting. The me you imagine is quite noble, but I doubt the real me would do that."

She said that, and then spoke again.

"It's not for any other reason than that I don't know if my sacrifice can really save the world. What if I'm deceived, or I'm not capable enough, and I die in vain? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

That's true.

Lu Ban nodded in agreement.

"So, if the person you know is similar to the person I am now, I would never choose to sacrifice myself. Rather, I don't agree with the idea that salvation requires sacrifice. Only methods that can save everyone's lives will be within my consideration."

"Sia said."

"This is based on rational judgment. Of course, the person you know may have been influenced by other factors at that time. All I can say is that we are two similar but different people."

Lu Ban did not answer; this was the first time he had learned about Xia's thoughts.

If the Sia here is the Sia that Lu Ban knows, grown up in the modern environment, then Lu Ban can imagine what kind of feelings Sia had on He Island, and with what kind of determination she decided to sacrifice herself and become a divine cherry blossom, which has lasted for hundreds of years on He Island.

"Do you remember any news about the merchants from that world?"

Xia asked again.

No further investigation was conducted.

Lu Ban replied.

After all, there were things in that world that were far more noteworthy than these merchants, and the criminal was caught because he took the initiative to attack, and even the jade pendant was not discovered.

"I see. I was hoping to use this to predict what might happen here."

Sia murmured, resting her chin on her hand.

"I suspect that you have extremely strong logical reasoning ability, coupled with an extraordinary memory, which allows you to process information in a short time and deduce a series of conclusions. Most of these conclusions are consistent with the facts. Therefore, the more information you have, the more likely you are to obtain conclusions in the form of memories from 'another world'."

"So I'm pretty amazing?"

Lu Ban was puzzled but impressed.

The two continued to look through the documents, but since the businessman couple had been victims ten years ago, the investigation into them was only superficial and did not yield any further information.

As Drizzt watched the two college students conducting their investigation, he suddenly felt a pang of guilt.

However, he had already looked at the information and hadn't found anything further, so he thought he'd show it to them to get some inspiration.

How about we get them something to eat?

As Tristan was thinking, his phone vibrated; it was a call from a colleague.

After answering the phone and hearing a few words from the other party, his expression quickly changed.

After hanging up the phone, Drizzt went over to the two people who were discussing the matter.
