Chapter 423 Self-Contradiction
It was not beyond Milo’s expectations.
Enid took a few people to find trouble with the Durer family, and then they were put back by them for various reasons. The unspoken rule that the law enforcement team cannot easily attack people of the aristocratic class is still It cannot be easily broken, and the entire city of Nanwei is now facing a huge mess like the Opera House and hundreds of missing people. Even if Enid does have some evidence in her hands, she will not have time to accompany her there. Noisy.
What's more, she has no evidence at all.
So after a phone call, Enid's team was withdrawn.
Of course she didn't know that the entire process of sneaking into the Durer family last night was a lie. Even if the fractal rules perfectly reproduced all the details of the city, the owner of the Durer family did indeed hide the evil secrets they carried out in his safe. Incriminating evidence of the ritual, but Enid has no chance of touching those things again.
She found those people who had appeared at the aristocratic dinner yesterday, including the aristocratic young master who she beat up, but these people were either missing or showed no knowledge of what happened last night. reaction.
This caused Enid to fall into self-doubt.
......
She clearly remembers it very, very clearly.
She sneaked into the dinner party as Miss Kent, found incriminating evidence, and witnessed a very unsightly scene of lewdness and stench at the dinner party, but only she seemed to remember these things.
Even when Yan asked about it again afterwards, he didn't know anything about it.
Of course, Yan must have received instructions from Milo, so he kept silent about everything in the imitator world.
So this "huge case" weighed heavily on Enid's heart.
She thought she could tell some truth this time, and perhaps find those missing members of the criminal investigation team of the law enforcement agency, including the previous team leader Xion, but now it seems that all this is not what she imagined. So simple.
Milo also knew that no matter how he explained this matter, it would not be clear.
Standing in the atrium of the floor, I looked at Enid, who was lying on the table in the office area below, feeling worried.
Eric's shadow appeared on the wall.
He made a few quick gestures.
Milo rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Then what should I do? She wants me to go over and tell her that the things you experienced are all fake and fabricated by the evil god. The people from the criminal investigation team He was not killed, but became a ghost and stayed in the law enforcement office. Is that so?”
Beside Eric, Henry also appeared and made a few quick gestures.
Milo glanced at the other party, and then continued to shake his head: "Of course I know her intention is to help me, please I have eyes and a brain."
He waved his hand, With a gloomy look on his face, he turned around and left the corridor and returned to the office.
The shadows of Eric and Henry were left on the wall of the corridor, looking at each other.
Looking at the back of Milo leaving.
Eric muttered:
"Why do I feel like he's a little grumpy?"
"Who knows."
Henry shrugged.
…
……
Late at night.
Milo once again locked himself in the attic on the roof of his house.
This time he did not open any of the classics he had received from the University of Michigan. Instead, he sat calmly on the chair in the center of the attic floor, his eyes closed.
Imnar once expressed confusion and shock at the fact that Milo was promoted to the Shadow Sequence.
According to it, in addition to physically transcending the constraints of the existing order, if a living body wants to enter the shadow sequence, it also needs to completely cut off the most mediocre part of the soul, which is the most complex and diverse part of human beings. Changing moods.
Milo did indeed omit the latter step.
But in fact, he did not think that he was a shadow that was "promoted" at that moment. He had a vague feeling that it was not that he had escaped from the order, but that the order had abandoned him.
At first this was just a feeling, and he thought it was an illusion, but as time went by, this recognition became stronger and stronger in his mind.
This is indeed the case. He did not gain anything from that battle. Even "The Chronicles of Nath" did not give him a new understanding of the power of fear. Only Milo himself knows what essential changes it will cause.
Imnar stripped away the order in the opera house at that time and induced a series of subsequent mutations. It seems that it accidentally caused Milo to become a shadow.
But this is not the case, it just "verifies" the fact that Milo has become a shadow.
Perhaps someday earlier, or even a few years back, Milo had been abandoned by the order of the universe.
......
Milo actually has a lot of confusion about everything that happened to him. The biggest mystery still focuses on how he broke away from the original world and came to this strange world.
It is as if there is a script somewhere that has already written all the details. Those secrets that ordinary people cannot touch, one by one, one after another, with Milo in various ways. Their life paths are intertwined, constantly circling and intersecting with each other, until in the end it is completely impossible to distinguish what is real and what is false...
"Our vision is not broad enough, and we are afraid of the blood of the old gods."
However, judging from this motto of the church, Milo's vision has been broadened enough. With the help of all the memories of the undead he has peeked at over the past year, coupled with the reading of many evil classics, as well as those books The experiences that should drive him crazy include Glaaki's ancient memories and the entanglements of many gods.
All of this has opened Milo's vision to an unprecedented level.
However, this never helped him reach a state of sudden enlightenment. On the contrary, Milo felt that he was not achieving promotion and transcendence in life levels. He did not feel that he was "going up", but more like sinking deeper and deeper into a quagmire. The deeper.
He ridiculed Dillashaw as a hesitant and pitiful person who is always in a state of self-conflict and struggle. But looking back, is the free and easy and casual nature he has always upheld really true?
......
After the truth of being a shadow was verified, those who had not troubled Milo in the past, or who had troubled him but were finally got rid of or The things and emotions he put down were like a rising tide in an instant, almost drowning and swallowing him, and he was so powerless to resist.
At a certain moment, Milo seemed to understand why high-level beings criticized the innate emotions of lower creatures like humans.
Or sensibility.
No one can be absolutely rational. If so, then this person has gone beyond the category of "human" and has become something else, something that cannot be defined simply in terms of good or bad. .
At this moment, Milo seemed to be trapped in some kind of self-contradiction in his thinking and logic.
His body seemed to be urging him to get rid of these useless emotions, but all the knowledge he had, and even the power he had mastered, were not affected by this instinct.
For example, the most critical means for him to defeat Imnar - the power of fear. Isn't fear also one of the emotions possessed by lower-level beings?
...
Just like the self-contradiction and disorder of the human body's physiological immune system can lead to various life-threatening diseases, the problems Milo encountered at this moment appeared in his mind.
The strength, body, and vitality he possesses all come from the knowledge systems that he has thoroughly understood. However, at this moment, there is a self-contradiction within these knowledge systems. In more straightforward terms, That means there is a bug.
This threat to him may be fatal.
……
He locked himself in the attic and sat there all night.
During this long night, Milo thought about a lot of things.
He slowed down his thoughts as much as possible, because at his level, "random behavior" in his thoughts would lead to very terrible consequences just like running around in the real physical world. A bad outcome, possibly even worse.
Because, if you close your eyes and run rampant on the streets of Nanwei City, the most miserable outcome will be to be trampled to death by horse hooves on the street, or run over to death by the wheels of a car.
But the interface of thinking is far more dangerous than the real world. He may accidentally fall into an abyss from which he cannot save himself. By then, what he will have to face will be worse than death. Something even more terrifying.
Perhaps it is another explanation of the phrase "even death will fade away" said in the Book of the Dead.
Or to be more precise, the word "disappear" here should also be translated as "die".
"In the wonderful eternity, even death will die."
......
Milo's mind is filled with countless messy and intertwined information at this moment. ,Knowledge.
These things were like foreign substances that had entered the human immune system. He once thought that he had completely digested, decomposed and absorbed them, but this was not the case. When there was enough backlog of them, knowledge and knowledge were produced. The interaction is like an uncontrollable chemical reaction between matter and matter, triggering a series of unknowable changes inside the human body.
He knew that if he made just one wrong step, he might fall into the abyss completely.
So we have to be cautious and cautious.
Otherwise, madness and death are the most merciful endings he can receive.
……
…
Milo thought he had been sitting quietly in the attic all night.
However, the fact is that when he pushed open the small door of the attic and walked down the stairs to the hall kitchen, he found that the time displayed on the calendar was already April 3rd.
He turned his head to look at his reflection in the glass window and examined it carefully.
Finding that there were no other special changes on his face except for the outline of some beards. He also checked his temples on both sides to confirm that there were no black bullet holes before he was completely relieved. Come.
Milo muttered to himself:
"Everything looks fine."
