Chapter 40: First scene review!
Very good, Ye Lan's confidence was instantly pulled back.
Things happened unreasonably, but they returned to the track he was good at.
"Has there been anything unusual recently?" Ye Lan thought for a while and added. "For example, special changes around, special people?"
The old man was stunned, looked at Ye Lan with a puzzled look, raised his hand and pointed at his side.
"Isn't this unusual enough?"
Ye Lan:...
"I mean other things, such changes are mostly caused by external forces."
The old man shook his head, a little disappointed.
"Arthur asked this yesterday, but there was really nothing. He also tried to check if there was any invasion of mutant creatures... Like the mutant giant rats around the town, weren't they very noisy? It's just a pity that there were none."
Has Arthur ruled out the possibility of mutant creatures invading...
Ye Lan frowned even more tightly. The most likely possibility was ruled out, and things inevitably became more mysterious.
Well, my current knowledge reserve should be exhausted, and I can't investigate more things. If you want to operate again, you can only use "abnormal" means.
"Can the time be more specific? Is the time three days ago accurate?"
The old man nodded decisively.
"Don't say three days, it was completely normal here four days ago."
Ye Lan nodded gently and ordered him to leave, although he seemed to be the guest.
"I am certain to find the cause of the problem, but you need to avoid it."
Huh?
The old man widened his eyes and looked at Ye Lan for a moment as if he was looking at an intruder with ill intentions.
"I avoid it? What are you going to do? What if you cause trouble here or faint here after I leave? I don't even know you!"
Ye Lan's mouth twitched, defeating magic with magic.
"Do I need to destroy the current situation here?"
The old man:...
He was choked by a sentence.
This pepper field is already ruined, and it is really not worth destroying.
"That's right... I've been here for decades. Every time I leave, I lock the door tightly. I've never let anyone stay here. I..."
"You're watching here. Can you make it back to its original state?" Ye Lan rubbed his forehead helplessly. Why are you acting like I'm going to force you to move...
Then, Ye Lan spoke earnestly.
"First, if you don't avoid it, it will be dangerous. Second, if you're here, I can't use my survey methods. This is my exclusive secret. Do you still want to solve the problem here?"
The old man seemed to want to argue a few more words, but suddenly thought of Ye Lan's motorcycle parked on the side of the road, and his heart moved slightly.
"That motorcycle... Arthur, that brat, gave it to you?"
Ah?
Do you have to jump so much when you speak!
Although he didn't know why he asked this, Ye Lan nodded.
"Yes."
"Is that so..."
The old man muttered, and finally made up his mind.
"Okay, okay, how far should I leave?"
Ye Lan was slightly startled. How can this be okay again?
"It doesn't have to be too far, just out of sight. You old man, boil a cup of hot water, take a parasol, move a small stool, and go to the roadside to bask in the sun for a while, isn't it nice!"
Old man:...
God, you are good at arranging things, and I still have the leisure and elegance at this moment?
"Okay, I'll go bask in the sun. I tell you, if you toss and turn for a long time and find nothing, I will report you!"
Ye Lan was a little helpless, and didn't know who he was going to report to. However, during this short period of time, the plan in his mind has become more and more mature, and now it is an urgent practice link.
"Okay. It may take a little longer. Don't come over within four hours, otherwise don't blame me for giving up."
Ye Lan's tone was not very good, but it was precisely his firm and confident attitude that raised his professionalism a lot.
"Okay, okay... If you have something to do, just shout. I think you can't stand the peppers. Don't faint in my field!" The old man didn't hesitate and turned to walk out. But as he walked, he couldn't help but look back.
In those old eyes, there was a ray of hope.
"Really... please."
Ye Lan nodded gently, and didn't smile helplessly until the other party disappeared from his sight.
This old man...
The figure was gone, Ye Lan looked around, didn't find any hidden cameras, quietly released the mind cat, and licked his lips.
"Kitten, can the scene replay be used now?"
This is Ye Lan's plan!
I really don't know how to grow this thing and what habits it has, but I can see.
I can see what happened with my own eyes!
"Meow meow meow! Yes! You can attack at any time meow!"
As soon as the mind cat came out, it was on Ye Lan's shoulder, showing its teeth and claws, and it seemed very excited.
Since the departure, I finally have a place to use my skills!
This is a chance to show off in front of Ye Lan meow!
"How long do you plan to replay meow!"
Ye Lan thought about it, and didn't respond too hastily. I am very embarrassed to say that he still has a relatively limited understanding of the ability of the Mind Cat.
"How far back can you go?"
The Spiritual Cat thought about it, and rubbed its two paws humanely, as if calculating.
"It can be perfectly restored within three days, meow! If it is 4-7 days, there will be a big error, and if it is more than seven days, the error will be greater as time goes by, meow!"
Error?
Ye Lan was stunned, chewing on the word.
"Can you give an example?"
The Spiritual Cat thought about it and gave an answer.
"For example... the fact at that time was that a person was swimming in a swimming pool, but the restored scene was a pig diving in the deep sea?"
Ye Lan: ...
It's hard to describe this as "error", right?
Then ...
Ye Lan was still thinking about the information provided by the old man.
Arthur arrived yesterday, and things have now progressed to an irreversible point. Arthur has not found the cause and solution; the first withering of the entire devil black pepper farmland occurred three days ago, so no matter what the reason, no matter what happened, the cause should be pulled back one day, that is, four days ago.
"Four days... just exceeded the time limit for the kitten to restore perfectly..."
But it should be okay. Four days is stuck a little later than the critical value of perfect restoration. The error will not be too outrageous. At most, the real scene of 'men swimming' will be restored to 'women swimming'.
"Let's start."
"Meow!"
The Soul Cat happily waved his meow fist, and then Ye Lan felt the light and shadow in his sight flickering violently.
The gray mist started from the Soul Cat itself and extended in all directions. The mist spread all the way to more than ten meters away, and it seemed to have reached its limit, stopped expanding, and began to spread to the surroundings along the farthest distance. Finally, with Ye Lan's feet as the center, it formed a square area with gray fog as the border, which only Ye Lan and the Soul Cat could see.
Then, the whole space appeared like a projection.
Boom!
The instant switching between scenes brought about earth-shaking changes, making Ye Lan almost unable to see the road around.
The low devil black pepper field became extremely huge, as tall as Ye Lan's waist. There was a relatively wide hollow space under his feet, but at this moment, he felt crowded.
"Is this the black pepper field that never withered... It's quite spectacular."
Just like the scattered cherry trees on the roadside, people will be stunned for a moment, but if they are planted to an endless field, it will become a landscape that shocks the soul.
Ye Lan sighed softly, reached out and touched the nearest big pepper beside him, held his breath, and pinched it.
His fingers passed through the devil black pepper the size of a watermelon, but he didn't touch anything.
"I can't touch it... All this is an illusion created by the cat of the mind, and it happened before."
Da, da, kacha.
There was a clear sound of footsteps behind him, and Ye Lan turned his head suddenly, just in time to see the old man walking towards this side step by step, pushing away the stems of the peppers.
Ye Lan narrowed his eyes.
