Chapter 577: What Little Holy Grail
Hearing Tang Ze’s words, the three people were also very shocked and looked at each other a few times.
"Ocean tank, that is to say, this is not actually a sea, but an extremely huge water tank?" Hoshikawa Teru repeated Karasawa's conclusion, "But, didn't Noah say that there are ocean trenches in the terrain? , very vast..."
"It is true. Moreover, it is a deep sea without any living things." Tang Ze wiped his face, "But it is really a huge water tank, just like an aquarium. "It's like the one in the museum."
Although the dugong arrow in his hand played a vital role in avoiding water, and he was not contaminated by any sea water, it was difficult to swim for a long time in such an environment. Without the feeling of being filled with cold moisture, Tangze now felt like his breath smelled like fish.
"And haven't we been looking for that kind of impression space, where are the shadows of the people on the island? According to the experience of Yueying Island, this independent small impression space, the shadows of the island residents should be installed here." Tang Ze recalled the scene he had just seen and was silent for a few seconds. "I found them. They are all outside the tank. To be precise, they are all lying on the glass wall, staring motionlessly into the water tank."
"So, the impression space here..." Following Karasawa's description and imagining the scene he saw, Miyano Akemi couldn't help but shudder at her imagination.
“The impression space here is an aquarium fish tank that looks like an ocean.” Karasawa gave the final conclusion with certainty.
The sea, which looks vast but is actually a cage, and the pair of eyes clinging to the glass, staring at her...
This may be what Shimabukuro Kimi means. The real situation faced.
That quiet suffocation, the pain of being bound in a cage by silent gaze...
No wonder the barrier will weaken again and again if Shimabukuro Kime's mood fluctuates slightly, whether it is breaking out of the cage or Destroying the bystanders outside the tank with flood water and breaking this barrier will be her first priority.
"So, is your other guess confirmed?" Asai Narumi said calmly, "About the difference between her and my situation at the time."
This question is also Tang's One of the reasons why Sawa chose to let Asai Narumi exchange experiences with Shimabukuro Kimie.
Contact Shimabukuro Kimie. On the one hand, they really want to give this unfortunate miko some support and help as they have in the past. On the other hand, they want Asai Narumi to evaluate Shimabukuro Kimie. state.
The main purpose is to compare his own mental state before revenge and Shimabukuro Kimie's.
"When I saw those shadows, it was basically confirmed." Tang Ze lowered his head and looked at the arrow that had been held in his hand.
An ordinary short arrow, perhaps considering its symbolic significance as a ritual vessel. The sharp metal arrow tip is engraved with a rolling pattern, like layers of clouds and mist, or like surging waves.
On the top of the arrow cluster, a long gray-white hair was thinly wound into a ring, and was properly pinned to the arrow body.
Tang Ze blinked, and the red color filled his pupils. In his field of vision, the arrow exuded a circle of gentle colored light, just like the arrow he had seen many times. Like the secret treasures.
Looking at the direction of the halo, it is obvious that it comes from the hair wrapped around the arrow.
When he held this arrow, the vision of the impending fusion of many worlds seemed to have lost its ability to affect him, and he no longer felt as if he was about to fall into the sea when he opened his third eye.
"Have I explained to you? About the relationship between X alloy and the secret treasure in the palace." Turning the arrow in his hand, Tang Ze said slowly, "The secret treasure in the palace is the palace The source of the master's desire, the core of the wish, is the starting point of all persistent wills, so as long as it is taken away, it can be regarded as separating the source and the spiritual connection... You should all know this. "
The three people nodded in unison, without expressing any doubt about this passage.
It should be said that this is the basic science that they will learn from Karasawa when they become the Phantom Thief of Hearts.
Regarding the cognitive world, regarding palaces and shadows, although this concept of the supernatural side is full of agnosticism, Tang Ze will still try to explain this side of the world to them with his own understanding, so as to avoid any surprises among his teammates due to information gaps.
"Well, so, regarding the question of what X alloy is... let me state in advance that the following are all my conjectures. It is up to us to see whether they are true or not." In order to prevent Stitch World from giving him any clues What kind of dirty trick is this? Tang Ze first made a wave of armor, "Since the impression space is actually a 'public palace' composed of human collective subconscious, do you think this palace will have its own secret treasure?"
When the three people heard this, their expressions were dull for a moment, and they looked at Tang Ze who gave them time to digest.
After a while, they understood a little bit of what Tang Ze meant. They all looked at the brooch on Tang Ze's scarf that still exuded a golden light in the night, and their pupils trembled.
"In other words, X Alloy is very likely to be...a secret treasure of mankind? That's not right, how do you say..." Xingchuan Hui, who was the most impatient, was the first to lose control and nodded. Ze's brooch seemed a little incoherent.
"Just understand what it means. After all, this is just a guess." Without getting entangled in the issue of the Holy Grail being broken, Karasawa got to the point of what he wanted to say, "I now think that there may be something intrinsic to the situation between Shimabukuro Kime and Narumi. The difference. When we arrived at Yueying Island, Cheng Shi was the palace master who had controlled the impression space of Yueying Island for a long time, even if he didn't know it. "
To put it bluntly, Asai at that time. Chengshi is essentially a powerful palace master.
The Hall Master, neither he nor his shadow form, can emit treasure light - who do you think is Sakura Futaba? Even Sakura Futaba herself doesn’t shine!
Karasawa looked at Asai Narimi, who was wearing a haori and in Kaitou form, and raised the arrow in his hand.
"The aura of the secret treasure on Shimabukuro Kimie's body was so strong that it shone like X-alloy." Karasawa intuitively described the scene he saw, "And she doesn't have a palace. , this is the most critical issue. We cannot assume that because of Chengshi’s case, she is also the fusion of the palace and the impression space... What’s more, Chengshi only used his own palace to block the entrance to the impression space. The real impression space is just wrapped by his palace, and the two are still incompatible spaces.”
"This is the reason why you think giving her X alloy will not only not affect her, but may in turn cause the alloy to deteriorate?" Asai Narumi, whose eyebrows jumped as Karasawa made him one after another, said slowly. He took a breath and asked aloud, "Do you think she is actually the secret treasure of this impression space, not the hall master?"
"Yes, I think Shimabukuro Kimie actually possesses Intellectual, impression space secret treasure itself." Quickly glancing at the blinking rag doll in his hand, Tang Ze said solemnly, "No one stipulates that the secret treasure must be inorganic, right?"
" But wait, it’s a bit strange..." Miyano Akemi, who was said to be confused, raised a hand, "Then since she is the secret treasure of the Impression Space, why would she want to destroy this place? According to the statement, the palace was actually born in response to the secret treasure and was the source of desire. Then she and this place should be more integrated?"
"Yes, the secret treasure that everyone is looking forward to gave birth to resistance. Heart..." Karasawa squinted his eyes, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "And now Shimabukuro Kime is using his authority to do the first priority of every conscious treasure
"——Integrate with the real world and gain real power. ”

"Huh? Desire rebels against consciousness itself? A strange hypothesis..." When Haihara Ai picked up the coffee and brought it to her mouth, she suddenly reacted, "Speaking of which, when you are traveling Don’t you want to sleep? It’s already 2 o’clock.” Shaking his head, he continued to talk on the phone softly, "Theoretically speaking, do you think this speculation is valid?"
"This..." I understood that Karasawa's problem is likely to be related to the Phantom Thief. Looking at the group's actions, Haiyuan Ai took a breath, put down his coffee cup, stepped on soft slippers, and walked to the computer, "I may need to check some information before I can give you an exact answer, but from my personal understanding, it is indeed "It's possible."
"Even if this kind of resistance may bring destruction?" Because he was worried about being careless, Shimabukuro Kime had a nightmare and was washed away by the sea, so he simply knocked on SP. The Phantom Thief, who was taking medicine to stay up late, said worriedly.
I have to say that it’s no big deal that a good island is about to be washed away alive because of the collision of human beings’ complex humanity. Human beings are really adding crazy chaos to this world.
In short, if it is not necessary in the future, it is better not to run to the island casually.
The closed environment based on the concept of cognitive world, combined with Ke Xue's interpersonal relationships, is really good at raising ghosts. Each and every one of them is a genuine sleeping dragon and phoenix chick! "Well, after all, the desire for destruction is also one of the desires hidden deep in the human heart, even as important as the desire for survival." After clicking on the folder, Haihara Ai skillfully flipped through the contents of the files inside and answered seriously, " Desire for survival and desire for death are always tugging at each other. This is the complex nature of human nature. The conflict between desire and consciousness can also be considered a normal state. ”
Wanting to save oneself. People who want to commit suicide will also try to give up on themselves at some point, and people who want to commit suicide will also try to send out a signal for help when they are on the verge of death.
Human beings undoubtedly long for survival in their essence, but they also long for death from their roots.
Perhaps it is consciousness that evolved in response to biology, or it may be some kind of valve for regulation. This is human consciousness itself, contradictory and self-consistent, complex and full of dangers.
“So, cognitive learning is something full of unknowns and dangers.” Amid the crisp clicks of the mouse, Haiyuan Ai said with emotion, “Convert people’s cognition into reality. , whether it will bring good or bad things is completely in the hands of the master. The more you study and contact it, the more you will find this."
"Why, when you find out how much power you have. Are you afraid because of your own research?" Hearing the confusion in her voice, Tang Ze asked.
"When you discover that something you made, if you press it, is the button that will destroy the world. Anyone can do it, right?" Haihara Aiyong sighed with a childish voice. On the contrary, he said in a mature tone, "I have often thought that if all crazy researchers like us really died, it might be a good thing for the world."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Shiho. As you said, people desire both survival and death. It's human nature to think of such things, isn't it?" Feeling a hint of the resurgence of the gray version of Haibara Ai, Tang Ze Quickly said, "So you should go to bed early. When you stay up late, it's easy to think too much."
Unlike her who was originally supposed to be on the path of self-destruction and low desire to survive, Haiyuan Ai now has Mingmei, with other family members and new friends, her desire to self-destruct should have been reduced a lot.
Perhaps this kind of philosopher-like speculation is inherent in her character. It is inevitable that she will fall into nihility or self-denial because of some grand issues.
But if Karasawa says it, given her schedule, it’s not surprising that she would be depressed from time to time.
Working late at night, it’s really easy to be emoticon.
"The only one who doesn't want you to say that is the guy who was still busy here at 2 o'clock." Huihara Ai snorted and chuckled, "Okay, I've sent the information to your email. No matter what you are doing... …Be safe.”
“Don’t worry, my sister and I are fine.”
“Go to bed early. Things that can’t be solved during the day can’t be solved by staying up late.”
< br>"Same for you."
Looking at the email message that popped up on the screen in front of him, Tangze shook his head.
"It's impossible to sleep, that's how the King Juan family is." After muttering, Tang Ze closed the crack in the door behind him tightly, opened the paper sent by Haihara Ai, and took out a new cup of coffee, " Why am I not surprised that the coffee made by Toru Amuro can increase SP... No more talking, open the book!"
————
"Go directly to the roster! Modify, is that okay?" Toyama Kazuo's eyes widened in surprise, "Would it be too much trouble for you..."
"No, it's me who's bothering you." Shimabukuro. Junhui put down the ribbon in her hand and wiped her sweat, "The festival is about to start. I'm really a little busy right now. I'm really sorry."
"Ah, yes..." Looking at the island Behind Fukuro Junhui were the small parcels tied up one by one with silk and satin, and then looked at the newly born red sun. Standing in the cool morning breeze, Toyama Kazuye and Mao Lilan exchanged glances.
At this point, I have been busy for so long, it is really hard.
"Just give us the customer list to look at, is that okay?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help but say "Eh" when he got the unexpected answer.
"It's just some rosters, without any real information about the guests... Even if they don't want to leave their real names, it's impossible for me to check their IDs?" After joking, Shimabukuro Kimie picked up the He picked up amulets and other supplies and packed a new package neatly. "I believe you won't touch it casually. After you change it, just put the roster back."
Although I don't know Why did those Phantom Thieves ask for such an extra thing...
But even if it was just a reward for having a drink with her, it was a simple matter.
Shimabukuro Kimie looked at the five children standing in front of the shrine one by one, smiled and showed them the way, and then lowered his head to prepare new materials.
Although she has no intention of continuing the work of a witch, although her thoughts about this island have gradually shifted from attachment and nostalgia to rejection and fear.
However, she promised her mother, and she resisted such a responsibility. So as long as she is still a miko and presides over the festival, she must do what she needs to do well.
The Dugong Festival is the shrine’s largest source of income. Since the arrival of tourists, the supply of amulets and other items produced by the shrine has exceeded demand.
This small shrine, which is not very popular, relies on this meager income to survive, and there is no room for neglect.
Moreover, this year might be the last dugong festival on the island.
Just think of it as leaving a good memory.
The busy miko continued her daily work, and the flattered high school students slowly walked into the shrine's warehouse.
"It's surprisingly big, the warehouse here..."
Yuanshan and Ye opened the door of the room, tentatively walked in, and soon saw the neat books on the cabinet in front of them. .
"Wow, what a meticulous record." He leaned closer and looked at the year of recording written on the spine of the book. Hattori Heiji touched his chin, "There are records from so long ago."
"Maybe it's It's a tradition on the island." Mao Lilan also sighed, and quickly found the latest roster, and flipped to the latest pages with Yuan Shan and Ye.
"Well, there are indeed records. These two names are probably the couple who canceled the plan."
"Shall we just erase them?"
"Let me take a look at the previous record...Oh, just use this patch."
"Hmm..."
