Zhou Lin - Chapter 247 Book of Lies (Part 2)

Essentially, reality correctors are also a type of ability users, but their abilities are more special.

If abilities are compared to shapes, then the abilities of most ability users are just geometric figures on a plane, such as circles, triangles, quadrilaterals, and even some are just straight lines or parabolas; while a few high-level ability users have For those with complex abilities, their abilities are like three-dimensional shapes, such as pyramids, cubes, cylinders, etc.; as for those with abilities at the top, regardless of whether their ability attributes are single or composite, they must To describe it in terms of shape, it would be like a Penrose ladder or a Klein bottle.

The ability of the reality corrector is located in the top range.

Like Quantum Revolution, Super-Dimensional Exile, Nothing, Mortal Bones, Disaster and other abilities, using the standards of paper, merger, strong, fierce, crazy, god to measure this kind of ability is It makes no sense, because these abilities are extreme special cases and do not apply to universal standards.

The strength of such ability users does not depend on what level they have reached or how much practice they have undergone. The real focus is how well they understand their own abilities.

The current human understanding of physics and superpowers is obviously not enough for people to understand the full extent of these abilities. Even the civilization levels of the Third Kingdom and Fourth Kingdom may not be able to do so. Therefore, these abilities It can be said that everyone has to rely on himself.

The thinking cage is the strongest confinement imposed on humans by beings living on a higher level outside this three-dimensional world. It is stronger than the physical limitations of the five senses, and imagination helps humans break through the cage. Or at least the only weapon to poke your head out and take a look at.

Xian’s little imagination is very ordinary.

Before her memory was modified by Drifter, she was just at the level of a normal person, which is why when she first awakened her abilities, she could suppress her abilities and go berserk by simply taking psychiatric drugs in an online rehabilitation center.

Later, during the period when she was under house arrest, she was always in a deep sleep, and her abilities were suppressed by the original Hades mist to prevent her from affecting the real world around her while dreaming.

It was not until recently that Xian Xiaoxiao was modified and awakened by Drifter.

In order to keep her loyal to Zi Lin and to prevent her abilities from being uncontrolled, another concept was implanted in her – that she is a superpower similar to the protagonist of the comic book movie.

In her understanding, her superpowers include: teleportation, teleportation, psychic barrier, defensive barrier, super speed, super strength, self-healing ability, flying ability, energy radiation, etc.

All abilities are the flat graphics mentioned above, and they all have certain limits, but there are more of them.

There are naturally pros and cons to doing this.

If Xian Xiaoxiao is told the true nature of her abilities, then the worst case scenario is… one day, her mental power becomes strong enough or crazy, and she can make decisions that modify the ecological environment of the earth and modify all mankind. Know, correct what happened on the timeline to change reality or create a parallel universe… things with unpredictable consequences.

Of course, if there is such a sign, Tianyi will nip it in the cradle before it happens.

Now, allowing Xian Xiaoxiao to have misunderstandings about her own abilities can put some restrictions on them, which is equivalent to building a high wall and a layer of insurance on her mental level to prevent her abilities from going wild; however, in this way As soon as she came, she was put into a very disadvantageous situation in the battle…

…………

Under the blue-grey sky, the wind blew violently.

The bustling metropolis is brightly lit but empty.

Xian Xiaoxiao fell from the sky, seemed to be thrown to the ground by a huge force, and fell into the deserted street.

Fortunately, she opened a defensive force field in mid-air and used her flying ability to slow down her speed, so she landed safely.

But the moment her soles touched the ground, a white light beam shot down from the clouds. With her as the center, it quickly drew a circle around her at a distance of about three kilometers away from her. The earth was cut open like a cake and the city was torn apart. Then, the cut out circle began to shrink and fold inward like a biting piranha…

The city built of steel and concrete became randomly kneaded and deformed like clay paper in the face of an indescribable and unstoppable force, and Xian Xiaoxiao was like an ant in this huge sandbox, being manipulated by someone. It’s like a god-like being is attacking.

cut……

However, this kind of attack still couldn’t make her panic, because although her cognition was limited, in her limited cognition, she still believed that she was very strong.

She flew into the sky again, her speed was extremely fast, and she easily escaped from the siege of the huge Steel Piranha. But before she lowered her head to confirm the situation under her feet, hundreds of high-rise buildings fell from the sky like hanging building blocks. People were rushing towards her from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, Xian Xiaoxiao was submerged in the tide of colliding buildings. The rumbling sound echoed through the sky, and smoke and dust billowed in the sky, gradually spreading like a growing giant cloud.

call–

After a breath, a strong wind suddenly started.

The building debris condensed in the air was pushed back and flew out in all directions, and the smoke cloud in the air was also dispersed.

In the dispersing smoke and dust, Xian Xiaoxiao was suspended there unscathed, and the defensive force field around him still looked very clear and strong.

And her expression looked quite relaxed, even showing a hint of disdain.

Is that all? she said.

Even though there was no one in sight, Xian Xiaoxiao knew very well that her opponent could hear everything she said in this space.

This was indeed the case. Before Delia finished speaking, she had already taken the next step.

But suddenly, in the distant sky, a black object was approaching. From a distance, it looked like a large swarm of insects, but if you look closely, you will find that… they are all missiles.

The missiles that were as dense as locusts numbered at least tens of thousands, and they all flew towards the same target point, but there was no sign of collision with each other. This kind of scene is impossible under normal circumstances. In this space, But it can be easily achieved.

Xian Xiaoxiao looked at the approaching warheads with a solemn expression, then raised a hand and began to concentrate on activating his psychic power.

She had seen a movie in which the protagonist could stop the barrage of bullets being fired at him in this way, and what she wanted to do now was something similar.

Unexpectedly, just when her attention was focused on the missile, seven or eight more white light beams shot down from the sky, hitting her in staggered directions.

At this moment, due to Xian Xiaoxiao’s distraction, the defensive force field around her weakened. Under the impact of these light beams that could tear the earth apart, cracks appeared in the force field…

…………

I know that Boss Tian also gave you a book. I knew it the moment you got the book.

I also know why you still want to carry out today’s action even though you know that I have mastered the book of the heart.

While Xian Xiaoxiao and Delaya were fighting fiercely in that special space, Ji Jue and Zi Lin, on the other hand, started such a dialogue through the Book of Hearts in their respective hands.

Since everyone knows the basics, why do we need to talk anymore? Zi Lin said.

That’s a good question, because I have some inferences that you don’t know about. Ji Jue said.

How is that possible? Zi Lin said, Your inferences are clearly written in the book I have.

Then what if I tell you… Ji Jue said, What you read in your book and what I read in mine may not be true?

Zi Lin hesitated for a second: If that’s the case, wouldn’t you have also negated our current exchange itself?

I’m not saying that everything we saw is a ‘lie’. Ji Jue said, Only part of it is.

Which part? Zi Lin asked.

Of course it’s the part where Boss Tian hopes to deceive us. Ji Jue said.

So… you are saying that he can modify any other person’s voice we are watching in real time? Zi Lin said.

Don’t you think he can’t? Ji Jue said, Then what do you think he does in the bookstore every day?

Zi Lin did not respond, and did not need to respond, because the other party also saw the changes in his thinking in these few seconds.

Only then did Zi Lin discover a terrible truth that had always been right in front of him but that he had never doubted – from the beginning, the Book of Hearts given to him by Tianyi was fake.

This book is the same as the real book of the heart when it is not interfered with. Except for a few existences that cannot be observed, the voice of the vast majority of human beings can be seen in this book; but when Tianyi needs it, the book can read Lies will appear, that is, lies fabricated by Tianyi to cover up the original true feelings.

Look, you already understand. Ji Jue said.

Ha… Zi Lin said with a smile, I was deceived for so long and I didn’t find out. Did it only take you three days to find out?

This is normal. If you and I reversed our roles, I wouldn’t be able to discover it. Ji Jue said, Because the basic condition for discovering this is that two people who can be observed by the Book of Heart possess the Book of Heart at the same time.

Zi Lin thought for a moment and said, I shouldn’t be able to observe you while you are observing me.

Ji Jue continued his thoughts: Because then you will observe yourself who is being observed, and then observe me through him, and then observe you again… The content of the book will expand in an infinite loop at that point in time. …Different from the observer paradoxes in physics, this should be regarded as a set of observer paradoxes belonging to the Book of Hearts.

So, it is impossible for Tianyi to allow the real Book of Heart to fall into the hands of two ‘mortals’… Zi Lin said, Huh… no, it should be said that he will not give it to a mortal.

Ji Jue said: However, the fake he gave us is also very good. It is precisely because the fake will conceal some information that we can avoid the emergence of paradoxes and communicate with each other like now.

Zi Lin said: But you are still smarter than me. I once gave the torn pages to others, and thought that because they were ‘torn from the same book’, the paradox you mentioned would not occur. Now that I think about it…this is undoubtedly a self-deprecating explanation.

You are very honest. Ji Jue said, Generally, the higher the position, the more difficult it is for someone to admit their mistakes or admit that others are better than themselves.

Hmph… That’s an honor. I’m just a mediocre person. Zi Lin said, In addition, Boss Tian, ​​you must be watching our conversation now. Since you allowed it to happen, it proves that These are all part of your plan… At the same time, in the past few days, you have filtered the game information between us, which led to the encounter between the two reality correctors today. Let me make a bold guess… …Do you want me to compete with Juezun here, and then make a choice between us?”

Ji Jue said: No, he has already made his choice. He paused, He chose you, it has been you from the beginning to the end… If he wanted to choose me, he would have chosen me long ago. He did not have to wait until today .”

Zi Lin said: Then why do you still let Delaya and Xian Xiaoxiao fight? Is it to prove something? Or is it just that you don’t like me?

Ji Jue smiled: Heh… you should have heard that story too…

Adam and Eve gave birth to two children, Cain and Abel. God put Cain in charge of farming and Abel in charge of grazing. One day, when it was time to offer sacrifices to God, Cain could only bring out some vegetables and rice. Sacrifice, but Abel took out meat such as lamb as a sacrifice; as a result, God only favored Abel’s sacrifice, which led to Cain’s jealousy and eventually led him to stone his brother Abel to death. , but in the end, God said it was Cain who was guilty and punished him.”

When he said this, he paused and then said: When I first heard this story, I felt that God was a bastard. It was obvious that he should be responsible for this tragedy. Furthermore, if he is really omniscient and omnipotent, then He should be responsible for all the tragedies in this world.

So… Zi Lin asked, Do you think you are…

I am Cain, and you are Abel… Ji Jue continued the other person’s thoughts, Although I came to this world earlier than you, I am not the chosen one. My ending has already been determined. Yours…actually the same.

This… Zi Lin said, I have known it for a long time, but I don’t think you can beat me, and I don’t think there is such a thing as ‘I will be killed or replaced by you’ in Boss Tian’s game. ending.

Isn’t it good to throw an ending that he can’t control on his face? Haven’t you ever thought of doing this? Ji Jue said.

I…tried, Zi Lin said, But I found that the more I tried to resist this fate, the more I would be pushed into a darker abyss.

But I’m not you. Ji Jue said, I’m better than you.

Of course he wasn’t bluffing, and he couldn’t bluff with his heart.

After decades of planning, I finally made all the preparations not long ago…

After the success of the operation on the Clover, I put the captured young people on Tianxuan Island to participate in the competition, the same kind that Yan Wushang participated in… and they all used their death certificates It turns out that he is indeed a waste with no potential.

So, I sent those clones implanted with controlled AI back to the Federation as planned.

In this way, the next generation of the Federation will be arranged…

As long as a few more decades pass like this, the group of people I arranged will successfully come to power and control the entire ruling class. At that time, I will be able to break down the ‘barriers’ built by those decadent old things and build on their foundation. Rebuilding a beautiful prosperous age.

With my method, there is no need for war or the bloodshed and sacrifice of innocent people. I will use the ruling class itself to implement reforms that sacrifice the interests of the ruling class… This is the real century-old plan. Compared with your methods Much smarter!

But who knew that it only took you one year to turn the world upside down and make all my plans come to nothing!

After Zilin looked at it, he thought to himself: Hmm… It sounds like you are indeed much stronger than an ordinary person like me, and at least you are a powerful man in the world. But in this way, you are not the one who ultimately controls the entire ruling class. One? What is the difference between this and an emperor?

“Isn’t the difference that you can hide in the shadows and not be hated and condemned by the public when you make mistakes?

The difference is that even if you fail, you can still control a group of puppets again, overthrow the dynasty you originally built, and continue to be an actual ruler hiding behind the scenes?

If I remember correctly, you can live a long time, right?

Don’t you think… your greed for power is surprisingly consistent with the virtues of the ‘rotten old things’ you call them?

Ji Jue was a little angry, and he didn’t need to hide it: Humph… So, do you want to be an Abel who complies with Tianyi’s will and kills Cain in turn?

You really don’t need to compare me with those well-known characters in the Bible. Those are luxurious metaphors belonging to you heroes… Zi Lin said, I am just an ordinary person with simple, selfish, and even despicable thoughts. But I also have persistence, and I also have merits; the good and bad that my likes and dislikes bring to this world may not be worse than yours…

This world is ruled by ordinary people 99% of the time. Most of the many emperors that have appeared in this world are just ordinary people.

Perhaps Tianyi’s idea is…the world now needs an ordinary person like me more than you.

It’s really ridiculous. Ji Jue said, Have you never thought that there is a high probability that all your ideas are based on the lies Tianyi has instilled in you for many years?

Both each other. Zi Lin said, As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed with it. I only realized it after you reminded me…haven’t you thought about it? Maybe you have been deceived by him for longer than me…
