Chapter 381 The Darkness Under the Lights

The corner of Victor Carpenter's mouth twitched a little. Ye Yan is still human. After all, they are all geniuses who graduated from top universities in the world.

But Ye Yan, who was killed halfway, is not only very good at fighting, but also has such a terrifying memory ability.

I heard that he is very famous in China.

On the other hand, apart from inheriting the family property and graduating from prestigious schools, they don't seem to have achieved much.

But they will never be able to compare with Ye Yan, because Ye Yan's existence is open, and it will really piss people off when people compare themselves to others.

late at night.

The lights were dim.

Victor Carpenter sat with Ye Yan in the study, pouring coffee for him from time to time and sending him a few books he wanted.

Victor Carpenter rubbed his eyes. After all, he was getting old and his energy was a little behind. He thought he could do handstands back then.

Youth is always so easy to pass away.

But Victor Carpenter was actually very excited, because Ye Yan had given him too many surprises, and he felt that there was a great possibility that Ye Yan might solve this eternal mystery for them.

Does the Emerald Assassin Group exist or not?

Victor Carpenter propped his chin, flipped through a book, and glanced at Ye Yan. The other person was full of masculinity, and his handsome face made Victor Carpenter's eyes soften.

The hope of the whole village rests on Ye Yan.

Ye Yan sat firmly on the chair, took a sip of coffee, and quickly flipped through the books. The eagle eye gave him a strong visual ability, and it could also help him memorize these knowledge quickly.

Ten lines at a glance is the basic operation.

It's just a pity that although Ye Yan's English can communicate with people, it is really difficult to read these ancient documents, and he can only understand the general meaning.

This is all based on the efforts of Victor Carpenter and others to translate and sort out the literature.

So when encountering many new words, Ye Yan still had to check with Victor Carpenter.

After Ye Yan finished reading the compiled documents, his speed dropped drastically because there were too many awkward words.

Ye Yan took a long breath, put the book on the table, rubbed his eyes, and picked up the key sentences he had transcribed.

Among them, some words are specially circled in red. If they are not exactly the same, they have similar meanings.

Fast, fast, everywhere, come and go like the wind.

Ye Yan stared at the draft paper and said, "Victor, if you were an assassin, where would you choose to hide?"

Victor Carpenter glanced at the sentences summarized by Ye Yan and the specially marked words, and couldn't help but shrink his eyes.

Taking a deep breath, he looked at Ye Yan with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

This mysterious man from the east is really terrifying.

Ye Yan's train of thought jumped too fast. After finding that it was very difficult to judge simply by passing the location, he boldly and decisively gave up this train of thought.

Instead, look directly at those key adjectives and adverbs.

It's not that Victor Carpenter and the others have tried to find other clues. They simply searched for the corresponding relationship through the location, but they gave up a long time ago.

And Ye Yan obviously knew that it was impossible to find the assassin's residence simply by looking at the location.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the assassination ability is, this group of assassins would have been taken over by the cult long ago.

Therefore, their whereabouts must be hidden as much as possible.

So Victor Carpenter and others chose to detour from the side to collect information a long time ago.

But they didn't think of being a breakthrough through adjectives and adverbs at all.

Because of one thing, the subject-verb-object structure is the basic element of language and the real focus, while modifiers are only used to add icing on the cake.

It is almost impossible to find a needle in a haystack and find clues through so many modifiers.

If you read some authors, you will know that in a 1500-character novel, you can use [-] words for adjectives.

But Ye Yan can.

He has eagle eyes and can help him scan a large number of similar words so that Ye Yan can connect them.

Then use this thinking to deduce it backwards, how can so many people describe it like this.

Victor Carpenter stared, and almost instantly uttered the word: "Everywhere."

Ye Yan smiled: "That's right, it's everywhere."

Victor Carpenter was a little excited: "According to this, they did not gather in a certain stronghold as we thought before, but were broken up into parts and scattered around."

"That's right, and there is an old saying in China, which is called 'one yin and one yang are called Tao', where there is a yang side, there will be a yin side."

Victor Carpenter nodded: "Yes, if there are above-ground passages, there will be underground passages, just like mice, everywhere."

"Oh, maybe my analogy was off the mark."

Ye Yan smiled: "No, although mice are derogatory, their actions are indeed very fast, and there are yin and yang in everything."

"Huaxia philosophy is really broad and profound."

Victor Carpenter is like a dreamer who has been awakened. With his wisdom, he can understand many truths from it.

"However, we have also considered the underground world, but how do we find the entrance?"

"Do you still remember the suspected location we found at the beginning, near the Cathedral of Our Lady of Flowers?"

Victor Carpenter frowned: "You mean the entrance may be nearby. If it's so easy to find, then how could the Assassin Organization have been safe and sound for so many years?"

"You must know, right? Tell me quickly."

Victor Carpenter was a little anxious.

Ye Yan smiled: "Don't worry, I want to ask you one thing, I will tell you when you finish it for me."

"whats the matter?"

Ye Yan pointed to the draft paper on the table: "I need you to tell me, where can I get the city drawings of Emerald in the middle ages and the present, preferably with a sewer system."

Victor Carpenter thought for a while, and quickly gave the answer: "This is simple, you can find it in the library in the center of Fei Lengcui, but the medieval drawings seem to have been sealed, and you can only see the ones from a year ago. Drawings."

Ye Yan's faith moved: "Where are the medieval blueprints sealed?"

Victor Carpenter knew everything: "It's on the second floor of the library, but it's okay, I can show you there."

"This is a great moment!"

Ye Yan nodded: "I'm [-]% sure."

"That's great, tell me quickly, how did you make sure?"

Ye Yan smiled mysteriously. This is a collision of different cultures. As the saying goes, stones from other mountains can be used to make jade. This is the truth.

"Have you ever heard the phrase 'dark under the lights'?"

"It's dark under the lights? What is this?"

Victor Carpenter was full of doubts, but Ye Yan didn't want to say anything more, but walked out the door with coffee, leaving only one sentence.

"I'm going to see Su Yan."
