Chapter 141 Do You Know?
"Technology team?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard the name.
They had originally planned to travel to Pisa to cause trouble for the technology team, but they did not expect that the people in the technology team were so bold as to take the initiative to attack, and even sent people to intercept them in Rome in advance.
Damn…
Aren’t the members of the technology team all highly educated programmers, rather than some powerless tech geeks?
Everyone was extremely surprised by Adam's appearance.
At the same time, they subconsciously summoned their own stands and assumed a combat stance full of gunpowder.
However, facing these Stand users with brilliant achievements, Adam, who claimed to be a member of the technology team, showed no fear:
"Yes, I am a technician from the Science and Technology Intelligence Group."
"The boss sent a warning a few hours ago, saying that the enemies that appeared in Naples today might attack our technology team."
"But, I never expected...haha, you guys actually came directly along the highway in broad daylight."
Adam gently held his glasses and smiled:
"Don't underestimate the technical strength of our technology team..."
"There are electronic surveillance cameras everywhere on the highway. They are our 'eyes' everywhere."
"Every move you make has long been under the surveillance of our Science and Technology Intelligence Group!"
"I also want to thank you for giving me this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity..."
"The position of cadre cannot be taken away by those brainless pigs and dogs."
His tone was calm and not panicky, as if the cadre's position was already in his pocket.
As he spoke, Adam's eyes suddenly showed a hint of excitement:
"I've been doing too much boring logistical and technical work. I haven't enjoyed the kind of intellectual challenge that puts my life at risk for a long time."
"I have been waiting here for a long time to enjoy this kind of pleasure."
"Those without knowledge are not qualified to live in this world - come on, the challenge has officially begun!"
As soon as the words fell, the "heavy book" floating in front of Adam suddenly underwent a strange change:
The title page of the book opened by itself without anyone touching it, and then the revealed pages immediately emitted a strange glow.
What’s even more amazing is that this shining light did not spread out naturally, but extended from the book like two chains, and finally tightly linked to Adam and Fugo’s brains.
"What?"
Fugo's face changed drastically.
He subconsciously wanted to pull out the chain of light that had suddenly penetrated his brain.
But as soon as his hand touched the solid beam of light, it suddenly became ten thousand times brighter, like the sun rising in the morning.
“Hiss—it hurts!”
Fugo took a deep breath and had to let go of his restless hand with a painful look on his face.
Seeing this strange phenomenon, Li Qing and others who were about to attack had to stop their actions cautiously.
"Don't move."
Adam sat comfortably in his seat, with a smile of success on his face:
"The challenge has begun. Our two souls have been detained by [Knowing] on the 'Challenge Platform'."
"If you try to solve the problem with violence, I will die--"
He pointed to the light chain that bound himself and Fugo's heads:
"With your friends, of course."
"you?!"
Li Qing and others were stunned, but they did not dare to act rashly.
What happened to Fugo after he rashly touched the light lock had indirectly confirmed Adam's statement.
"Haha, it's too late."
"If you want to save your life, you must defeat me fairly in terms of knowledge."
Adam looked at him and smiled happily:
Although the trick of taunting with foul language is crude, it always works.
It feels like encountering a brainless troll on the internet. The moment you can’t help but type a reply, you’ve already lost.
Everyone understands the truth, but even so, humans still cannot change their habit of liking to compete for temporary favors.
The same is true for Fugo.
He was of hot temper and was like a powder keg that could explode at any time. His uncontrollable anger made him forget to remain calm, so that he accepted Adam's challenge without any precautions.
So, just as Adam had imagined, Fugo fell into the trap he had set.
Fighting against ordinary trolls only wastes time and affects your mood, but what Fugo is risking in front of Adam is his own soul.
At this moment, he could even clearly feel the light lock that bound his soul.
Although it was clearly an illusory soul, Fugo had an inexplicable feeling: it seemed that the beam of light would pull it out of its body at any time.
Even in this state, he couldn't even summon his own substitute.
"I can't use my power, I can't break free from the shackles."
"Does that mean we have to play by his rules now?"
“Damn it…”
Fugo clenched his fists tightly, and finally sat back in his seat helplessly.
He looked at Adam's slightly teasing gaze, and the irritability that he had just suppressed surged up again unconsciously:
"Question challenge? Come on!"
"Even if I don't use force, I won't lose to a sinister villain like you just by relying on the knowledge in my brain."
"very good."
"Then, the challenge begins!"
Adam smiled gently, and the "book" floating in front of him suddenly emitted a hazy halo.
And this halo gradually became clearer and smoother, and gradually a light screen was projected in the air, just like the 3D projection in the movie.
“First round.”
The screen displayed: "Adam Cheever, please ask questions, one minute."
"Ha, it's my turn."
Adam still kept smiling, and calmly introduced to Fugo how to participate in the challenge:
“No need to speak, just use your brain to imagine.”
"Now our souls are all connected to this challenge platform. As long as you think in your mind, the corresponding picture will be displayed on the light screen."
As he spoke, Adam closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds.
On the light screen projected from the open "pages", an ancient city's architectural landscape suddenly emerged:
“Q: After the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, the name of its capital Constantinople was changed by the Ottoman Empire?”
"Pannakoda Fugo, please answer. The time limit is one minute."
There are pictures and subtitles, just like some quiz challenge TV shows.
"Answer me."
Adam spread his hands, his voice carrying a condescending arrogance:
"We are in Rome now, so let me ask you a simple question about Rome."
"It wouldn't be fun if you lost too quickly."
"hehe…"
Fugo smiled disdainfully:
"Are you underestimating my intelligence?"
"As an Italian, how could I not know this kind of historical common sense—"
"Constantinople is now Istanbul. After the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, it was of course changed to Istanbul..."
"Wait...that's not right!"
Recalling the history books he had accidentally read, he suddenly came to his senses.
Looking at the other party's slightly sinister smile, Fu Ge couldn't help but mutter to himself with lingering fear:
"I almost forgot..."
"After the fall of Constantinople, the city's official name remained 'Constantinople' until the Turkish Revolution in modern times."
"So, after the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire, its name actually only underwent some local changes."
"That is, 'Constantinye'."
As soon as the voice fell, the picture on the three-dimensional light screen flickered, and the subtitles displayed on it changed to:
"That's correct."
"Pannakoda Fugo, please ask your question. The time limit is one minute."
Fuge breathed a long sigh of relief. At least he had passed the first hurdle without any danger.
"oh?"
"Little brat, it seems you are smarter than you look."
Adam narrowed his eyes, not only did he not look disappointed, but he also showed a strong interest:
"Very good. I just like to compete with smart people. Such intellectual challenges are meaningful."
"Ask your questions, it's your turn now!"

PS: Stand-in panel.
Alternative name: [Do you know] (Quora)
The Body - Adam Cheever
Destructive power: E
Speed: E
Range: E
Sustainability: A
Movement precision: E
Growth: E
Ability: Appearance is a deep and heavy book.
Once the target actively says "accept the challenge", his soul will be bound by the chains of light that emerge from the book.
If you lose the quiz challenge, your soul will be taken away by the light lock and put into the book.
Even killing the original body with force will be of no use. Only by defeating Adam as the original body in the challenge can the soul that was previously deprived by [Knowledge] due to the failure of the challenge be freed.
