Chapter 1290 Tianhai is dead
Late at night, the first branch, room 303.
Lan Yu, who was leaning on the bedside, turned up the brightness of the desk lamp and was reading a well-known suspense work with relish, holding a pen in his mouth.
When he saw something exciting, he put down the book and began to make calculations and reasoning on the paper. Just when he reached the key point, a phone call interrupted his train of thought.
Lan Yu put down the pen very irritably, but after taking a look at the number, a hint of surprise appeared on his brows. After adjusting, he connected the phone.
"There is news that Huangfu Jiajia is dead."
The voice on the other end of the phone was a bit old-fashioned, and his tone had a nasal sound when he spoke, as if he was not young.
As soon as Lan Yu heard this sentence, he immediately swept away all his sleepiness, turned over and got up from the bed, and asked:
"Is the news reliable?"
"The Eighth Branch is now in chaos. Not only Huangfu Jiajia, but also Chen Jie and Li Mochou were also buried."
It was obvious that the person on the other end of the phone had extremely accurate information on this aspect.
Lan Yu suddenly panicked. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes. He ran out of the bedroom barefoot, rushed into the study and took out a notebook from the drawer.
He quickly flipped through the notes, which were densely packed with notes, essays, and some hand-drawn drawings.
The remaining right hand held the penholder and was doing calculations on the calculation paper on the side, silently saying:
"The eleventh branch was the first to close down. The change of store manager at the tenth store also made it clear that he was an outcast. Now it is the turn of the eighth branch.
Sure enough..."
Lan Yu's expression was extremely excited, and even his palms were shaking. What was even weirder was that every time he wrote a line of words, he would cross out the previous line.
Finally, after using up the entire calculation paper, only one sentence was left at the end:
"If ten do not survive, Tianhai is dead!"
After Lan Yu wrote these eight words, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He slumped on the chair and looked at the calculation paper, lost in thought for a long time.
"What did you deduce?"
It wasn't until the man on the other end of the phone asked something that he was able to get out of his mind.
He spoke with difficulty and repeated those eight words, with shock and fear in his eyes, but there was also a hint of expectation.
There was a long silence on the phone, and an extremely depressing atmosphere filled the air.
It is as if these eight words have become eight mountains, overwhelming those who see and hear them.
"Are you really not wrong?"
That person may be unwilling to face this result, or this result is unimaginable to him. Confirm again.
Lan Yu held the calculation paper in the palm of his hand, secretly exerting force until the wrinkles appeared, and then said in a deep voice:
"I don't have any sins, but my brain has been strengthened by supernatural powers.
Although my calculation ability is not as direct as Huang Fengjiao's divination, it is more in line with the law of event development.
Based on the analysis of existing events, I predict their operating rules and derive corresponding results.
Although there are slight differences in probabilities, the overall likelihood of error is unlikely. ”
Lan Yu put down the calculation paper, focused his eyes on the thick notebook, and kept flipping through it.
In this book, there are ten major branches. From the end of 2014 to the present, all tasks are recorded, and each task is marked.
Some of the special tasks are annotated, and the probability of affecting the final direction of Tianhai is calculated.
In such an absurd place as Tianhai Hotel, a group of equally absurd people will always be born, and of course they are also absurd geniuses.
The three store managers of the first branch are all more or less weird. Such as Gu Qingyun, who wants to destroy all branches, and Xu Nan, who just wants to die with Gu Xingjian.
Compared to those two, Lan Yu seems to be the most normal one on the surface, but behind his back, he has a weirder "quirk."
He likes to collect information, and he wants all kinds of information.
Of course, this cannot really be regarded as a "quirk", because through all kinds of information, he can calculate the development and results of the situation by relying on his brain's analytical ability.
"One out of ten" is an extreme analysis based on the decline of the ten major branches one by one under the influence of external evil forces.
"Tianhai is dead" is more speculation than calculation. Based on the above, explain the possibility of why it ended up like this.
But the person on the other end of the phone still couldn't believe it.
"You said that Tianhai is dying. Maybe I can understand it. Why did you use 'dead'?"
Lan Yu blocked him with just one sentence and said:
"Tianhai is not dead, have you seen Him?"
The reason why he guessed it was dead was indeed Lan Yu's bold guess based on insufficient evidence, but he had one piece of evidence - the development of the top ten branches was suspected to be bound to Tianhai.
Since the collapse of Branch 11, Tianhai's influence has gradually declined, and there are more and more foreign ghost forces and special missions.
But this is more like a sign of imminent death, so the main reason why Lan Yu raised the suspicion of death was because of Gu Xingjian.
Gu Xingjian is quite mysterious even to Lan Yu, who holds the information network of the top ten branches.
However, because he had too much information, he was able to analyze a rough outline of Gu Xingjian.
Gu Xingjian's strength lies in his layout and strategy, but he will never reach this level by relying on this alone. His greatest strength lies in his information gap.
If Lan Yu has information about the top ten branches, then Gu Xingjian has information about Tianhai.
He must have obtained something from Tianhai, otherwise it would be impossible for a mortal to do this.
And it is unreasonable for such a person to live for such a long time without being eliminated by Tianhai.
Therefore, Lan Yu believed that Tianhai was unable to get rid of Gu Xingjian, so he concluded that "Tianhai is dead".
Of course, he never said these words to outsiders, nor to the person on the other end of the phone.
The result of his calculation on Gu Xingjian was that it would be difficult for this person to die.
This late night phone call was disconnected unconsciously in silence.
Lan Yu had already started to pick up a pen, comparing the task records of each branch, and performed the next round of calculations.
The dim desk lamp in the study room was emitting light, but the moon outside the window was moving rapidly, drawing an arc in the sky.
Time passed bit by bit, and the ink on the pen tip left more and more traces on the paper, and the sound of turning the book came and went.
Lan Yu seemed to have forgotten the time and started brainstorming without sleep or food. He finally stopped calculating when his body was shaking and he couldn't even hold the pen.
He slumped down on the chair tiredly, letting the cold sunlight shine on him from the window behind him. The entire study was lit up, and the desk lamp became dispensable.
From night to day in the study, the piles of waste paper on the floor and the sweat on his face indicated how much mental energy he had spent throughout the night.
What really made him tremble was not only his physical exhaustion, but also the final calculation results.
What he calculated was which branch would be destroyed next.
But no matter what, he never thought that the branch with a 70% probability of destruction would be it!
The white sunlight passed through Lan Yu's neck and shoulders and hit the only white paper on the table, a blackened "nine", which was particularly dazzling.
