Chapter 219 The Weakness of Human Nature
Although Xie Shen didn't know clearly, Li Xiu must figure out the cause of this problem.
But after thinking for a moment, he truthfully relayed the question to Abbott.
The latter explained with a smile: "Why else? You should know the answer to this question even without me telling you, right?"
Xie Shen followed the other party's words and said: "The reason for this is because most of the agents have been transformed into ascendants?"
"Not bad."
Abbott nodded and said: "In addition to being able to absorb black mist without restriction and being able to travel freely through subspace, the Ascended One also has various other benefits."
"So."
He persuaded Xie Shen: "How about it? My friend, are you interested in becoming one of the ascended ones?"
"Although before you can become an ascended person, you need to dissipate your cultivation and lower your realm below the golden elixir stage."
"But your consciousness can be preserved."
"In this way, even if you lose your original cultivation after becoming an ascendant, you can still cultivate back quickly with the blessing of divine consciousness."
Just when Abbott was chattering endlessly, trying to persuade Xie Shen to surrender.
Li Xiu's voice came from the combat power detector: "Don't listen to his nonsense yet. The reason why he keeps talking there is just to hold you back as much as possible, so as to serve as the agent. Their arrival will buy time.”
After hearing this, Xie Shen used the method of transmitting sounds into secrets and replied: "I actually understand what you said."
"But the thing is."
He said helplessly: "Even if I know that the other party is delaying time, what can I do?"
"Can't you use the virtualization ability to escape?" Li Xiu tried to ask: "I just glanced at the picture returned by the combat power detector."
"It is not difficult to see from this: Although Albert is far stronger than you, his skills and magical powers are too few."
"His attacks are almost all physical."
"So your virtualization ability should be able to defeat him, right?"
"You are thinking too much." Xie Shen replied: "My virtualization ability is just a special spell that exists in cell memory."
"That is a spell, not a cause and effect, or a conceptual ability."
"This spell cannot ignore everything and overpower the opponent."
"Therefore, when encountering an opponent who is stronger than me, virtualization cannot play a big role."
Xie Shen gave an example: "For example, when Abbott punched me just now, I took the opportunity to use my virtualization ability."
"But in the end, that punch still hit me."
"No way."
"When the strength reaches a certain level, all magic and magical powers will be unable to work."
"In that case." Seeing that Xie Shen had nothing to do, Li Xiu suddenly asked him: "I have entered the shared library before and obtained an incredible thing from it. You should still remember this, right?"
"Remember." Xie Shen continued: "At that time, you also said that because that incredible thing involves time and cause and effect, if it is easily displayed, it is likely to cause various logical paradoxes, so you never told us, What exactly is that item you got?”
Li Xiu continued: "I haven't taken out that item before because it's not time to use it yet."
"But now it's time to take it out."
"I plan to use that item to help you escape from Green Snow Star."
"But" Li Xiu added: "Before using it, I have to tell you about the side effects of that item."
"Say it." After Xie Shen responded, he urged again: "You'd better move faster."
"Because at this moment, I can already feel a trace of space fluctuations coming from the subspace."
"The appearance of that trace of space fluctuation means that the agent's starship will arrive at Green Snow Star soon."
"We are running out of time."
"Understood." Li Xiu said very quickly: "The item I obtained from the shared library is a door that can affect time and cause and effect."
"This door has no name."
"Consider this door to have causal-level abilities that can affect past and future time, and even existing reality."
"So, to prevent some unpredictable changes in that door."
"After I got that door, I never dared to give it a random name."
The dignified Li Xiu is so afraid of that mysterious door that he doesn't even dare to name it?
After hearing this, Xie Shen asked curiously: "So what is the specific function of that door?"
Li Xiu described: "The first function of that door, I call it 'inevitable'."
"What do you mean?" Xie Shen asked.
Li Xiudao: "Anyone who opens the door will definitely enter the other side of the door regardless of the cost, and nothing can stop this behavior from happening. In fact, the entire universe will help facilitate "entering the door". in the occurrence of this incident.”
This.
Xie Shen didn't quite understand: "Can you be more specific?"
Li Xiu gave an example: "For example, if you see behind that door and Albert wants to stop you, then all the actions he takes to stop you will be equivalent to fighting against the entire universe. .”
"Like, when he wants to kill you."
"In order to help you enter that door, the universe randomly generates meteorites and even asteroids to directly hit him."
"And the appearance of those meteorites or asteroids is completely a natural phenomenon and not caused by mysterious forces."
"What if even an asteroid impact can't kill Abbott?" Xie Shen suddenly asked after hearing this.
Li Xiudao: "If he fails to kill him, the disaster he will face will be infinitely more dangerous."
"For example, a natural small black hole will appear directly at his location."
"Or some other extremely rare phenomenon."
Okay
After hearing this, Xie Shen showed a thoughtful expression and asked: "Then, what will happen to me after entering that door?"
Li Xiudao: "After entering the other side of that door, the time and space you are currently in will undergo uncontrollable changes."
"This change will help you escape from the planet you are currently on."
Time and space?
Xie Shen said cautiously: "It is easy to understand that the space has changed. It is nothing more than being randomly teleported away."
"But what happens when time changes?"
"There are two possibilities for changes in time." Li Xiu explained: "The first possibility is that you will travel to the past."
"Of course."
"Since time is irreversible, there is a high probability that you will not be able to touch anything in the past after traveling to the past."
“And you can’t communicate with people from the past.”
"If I can't touch anything, wouldn't I be just like a ghost?" Xie Shen frowned and said, "What's the difference between me and being dead?"
Li Xiudao: "If you travel to the past timeline, it is not that long from now."
"For example, it is now 6294 AD, and you have traveled to 6292 AD."
"That is, two years ago."
"Then you only need to wait quietly for two years, and your body will be able to reconnect with the current timeline."
"At that time, you will be able to touch everything in the world again and communicate normally with other people."
Interesting.
Xie Shen asked again: "What if I traveled to a long time ago? For example, 10,000 BC."
"If I want to live from that time to today's AD 6294, I would have to live for more than 16,000 years."
"But this is obviously impossible."
"So do you have a plan for this situation?"
"Of course." Li Xiu said without thinking: "Do you still remember that you were dragged to the earth around 2000 AD by the indescribable creature 'Meng'?"
"Remember." Xie Shen said thoughtfully after hearing this: "At that time, you used a 'time machine' to synchronize the past with the future, which successfully brought my consciousness back."
"So."
Xie Shen followed this line of thinking and said: "If I really traveled back to more than 10,000 BC, would you still plan to repeat your old tricks and use that time machine to pull me back?"
"Correct answer." Li Xiu responded.
"What about the future?" Xie Shen asked again: "If I am accidentally transported to a future point in time, how are you going to get me back?"
"Then I am powerless." Li Xiu explained: "In the material world, time must be irreversible." "So once a person travels back to the past, his consciousness must have returned to the past, not the time in the material world. Ontology.”
"That's why I can use a time machine to bring you back in the past."
"Because what I brought back is just your consciousness, and the difficulty is not high."
"But it's different when we travel to the future."
Li Xiu said: "Because in the material world, time can accelerate forward, and people can travel to the future."
"This is a real, permanent and irreversible crossing."
"So once you are really sent to the future, you may never be able to come back."
"This" Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "Do I have any other choice?"
"No."
There was no emotion in Li Xiu's words.
He calmly analyzed: "Because you are under the 'curse of flesh and blood,' you cannot even commit suicide when you encounter danger."
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
"So, once the agents come to this planet, once you really fall into the hands of the agents."
"The consequences will be disastrous."
"You have no choice."
"Okay!" Since Li Xiu said so, Xie Shen, who was desperate, could only accept the only option.
He decisively rushed to Li Xiu and said: "Hurry up and pass the door to me through the Shinto Cauldron, and I will use the door to leave the Green Snow Star."
"If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid the agents will come."
"By then it will be too late."
"Okay." In the combat power detector, Li Xiu responded very quickly: "I will deliver the door to you right now."
"As for the nine starships on standby outside the Green Snow Star, I will order them all to return later."
"So we have no choice but to give up Green Snow Star?" Xie Shen said unwillingly after hearing this.
"It doesn't matter."
Li Xiu said calmly: "In the planning of the Great Expedition, Green Snow Star is just one of the most inconspicuous among the countless planets that are about to be conquered."
"Even if we fail to defeat it, it doesn't matter to the overall situation."
"These days, although the progress on your side is not going well."
"But Deng Bin and Yi Yuankui easily conquered the civilizations on the two planets with overwhelming force."
"So you don't need to worry at all that the progress of the Great Expedition will be affected."
While Xie Shen was talking to Li Xiu, his hand movements never stopped.
In just a few words, he had already taken out the Shinto Cauldron from the storage bag on his waist.
As a very small amount of black mist was transferred into the cauldron, an ordinary-looking, even slightly shabby wooden door appeared in front of Xie Shen out of thin air.
Xie Shen wanted to jump directly into the wooden door before Abbott could react.
But I never thought about it.
Abbott's speed was really incredibly fast.
Even if he realized it later, even if the distance between him and the wooden door was relatively farther, he still relied on his tyrannical strength to rush to the wooden door one step ahead.
After a second of this, Xie Shen took the last step and came to the wooden door.
Seeing Xie Shen trying to escape from the wooden door, Abbott didn't even think about it and punched Xie Shen hundreds of meters away.
‘Bang’!
As a burst of explosions sounded, Xie Shen flew backwards from the spot and knocked down a building behind him.
The violent impact caused his eyes to go dark, and he could only hear bursts of roaring in his head.
Fortunately, Xie Shen was blessed by the curse of flesh and blood.
He just lay on the ground for less than a second, and with his strong recovery ability, he struggled to stand up from the ruins of the building.
Can see:
To prevent Xie Shen from escaping, Abbott was beating the wooden door crazily with his fists.
Because Abbott's strength was too great, when he punched the wooden door with his fists, there were bursts of shock waves mixed with scorching heat, which continued to spread outwards with him and the wooden door as the center, accompanied by continuous blasts of air. Boom.
The momentum was so great that people in the distance mistakenly thought that the military was constantly dropping bombs here.
Although Abbott has tried his best to destroy the wooden door.
But no matter how hard he tried, he could never get even a tiny bit of sawdust from the wooden door.
Seeing that wooden doors could not be destroyed by physical attacks, Abbott realized their value.
He turned to look at Xie Shen and said, "What is your wooden door for?"
Xie Shen didn't speak, but stared at the wooden door in the distance, as if looking for an opportunity to sprint into it.
But Albert smiled ferociously and said, "You really want to enter the door, don't you? I want to see where the other side of this door leads to."
"If you let me pass, I promise to kill all the people over there."
"I won't leave any for you."
As he spoke, Abbott suddenly opened the wooden door from the outside to the inside.
"It's done!"
Inside the combat effectiveness detector.
The moment Abbott opened the wooden door, Li Xiu's voice sounded again: "Based on the mental profile I just gave to Abbott, it can be inferred that after you took out the wooden door from the storage bag, Uncle Abbott The probability is that he will open the wooden door. ”
"This is determined by his character."
"In the end, everything turned out just as I expected."
"Abbott really risked his life and opened the wooden door."
"He's been tricked."
Among the ruins of the building.
Xie Shen, who was shrouded in smoke and dust, showed a look of realization on his face and said: "So from the beginning, you never wanted me to escape from that wooden door. Your real purpose was to tempt Albert to open it on his own initiative. That door? ”
"That's not true."
Li Xiu explained: "Before proposing this response plan, I simulated a total of two results."
"The first result is that you took advantage of Abbott's unpreparedness, quickly escaped into the wooden door, and teleported away with the wooden door."
"If this is the result, then all plans will be as I said before."
"As for the second result"
Li Xiu continued: "That's what you see now."
"Based on my psychological profile of Abbott, I am 80% certain that after he grabs your wooden door, he will definitely open it and take a look inside."
"The reason is"
Li Xiu explained: "Abbott talks a lot and likes to express himself. You can tell at a glance that he is a self-centered person."
"Such people can easily fall into the trap of preconceptions."
"For example, in Abbott's opinion, the wooden door you took out is just a wooden door used for escape, and it is suspected to have a teleportation function."
"As long as he thinks so, driven by his self-righteous character, he will selectively ignore the possible risks in the process of opening the door."
"This" Xie Shen said in surprise after hearing this: "You can even analyze these? And how did you calculate the 80% certainty?"
"Ha." Li Xiu gave a forced laugh.
He explained it enigmatically: "Everyone has some weaknesses in their human nature to a greater or lesser extent."
"Unless you are a robot, or like me, a special human who has abandoned almost all emotions."
"Otherwise, no matter how high your cultivation level is, you will not be able to get rid of your own human weaknesses."
In Danqiu City.
Under the gaze of countless passers-by and captured by countless media cameras, after Abbott opened the wooden door, he suddenly felt as if he was possessed by a demon.
He stared at the 'scenery' on the other side of the wooden door, as if he had seen the most wonderful thing in the world.
In this way, he was attracted by the 'scenery' behind the door and entered the wooden door uncontrollably.
