Siren Blade

Chapter 201 From Hell
It turns out that the reason why "it" was able to escape from Baiju's laboratory was because the fanatics attacked Baiju five years ago.

And judging from this point of time, after "it" escaped from the laboratory in that chaotic battle, it didn't take long to hide on the unnamed mountain, and then met me.

Just like Bai Ju said, if it weren't for the conflict between him and the fanatics five years ago, I probably wouldn't be where I am today.

However, why was "it" inside the giant egg when I saw "it" for the first time?
I thought, maybe "it" was not unscathed when it escaped, it may be that Baiju's experiment caused great damage to "it", or it may have been severely injured in that chaotic battle... So After arriving at the safe Nameless Mountain, "it" slowly reorganized its body in the form of an insect's cocoon.

And when I approached, "it" mimicked the form of a human female... Is this to pretend to be my kind, so that I can protect "it"?

Although there are too many guesses, according to my intuition, at least [-]% of the parts should be correct.

"A conflict that seems to be a coincidence..." The missionary silently chewed on Bai Ju's words, and then asked, "Could it be that the conflict between the teacher and you is not a coincidence, but someone else's secret conspiracy?"

"It's true that it's not all the fanatic's fault, so I didn't hold him accountable, and I wanted him to assist me in my 'New World Project'..." Bai Ju sighed, "In the end, he was actually killed by the demon Li Duo...but it didn't make any difference. Anyway, he was always in a state of nervousness, talking all day long about pursuing some self-proving true spirit and the illusory truth of the universe. He would not hesitate to pursue the truth. I have seen too many life scientists, but this is the first time I have seen a scientist who thinks that he can find the truth by committing suicide. It is really stupid."

"..." The missionary didn't defend his teacher. On the one hand, he didn't dare to make mistakes in front of Bai Ju. On the other hand, he also felt that the fanatics' pursuit of the so-called truth was simply unreasonable.

"As for the conspiracy you just mentioned, in fact, no one is carrying out the conspiracy. If you have to say who is responsible, it can only be this monster." Bai Ju looked at the severed hand in the glass water tank again, "Of course , it doesn’t have the ability to think like a human, nor does it possess the so-called human nature, let alone actively plot any conspiracy. Even if it can really think, it must be located in a dimension completely different from that of human beings.”

He sighed, "Just as humans who can only see visible light cannot imagine the world in the eyes of creatures who can only see infrared and ultraviolet rays, we are also doomed to be unable to understand the ideology of this monster."

The missionary asked impatiently and curiously: "You mentioned the 'traces of the alien world' earlier. Could it be that you mean that the visitor is not an unknown sea monster...not visiting the land from the sea, but visiting from other worlds. our world?"

I immediately focused all my attention on Bai Ju, waiting for his answer.

And he cut to the chase and said, "Exactly."

"Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to my wording just now." The missionary asked rigorously: "Let me confirm again, the 'other world' you nodded and admitted should not refer to other universes, but to other planets." Bar?"

Bai Ju replied, "It's other universes."

"How did you confirm it?" the missionary asked, "Even if it is a monster that does not exist on our planet, shouldn't you suspect that it is an alien visiting from other planets?"

"After I became a great warlock, in order to thoroughly understand the origin of this monster, I used all my powers of manifestation and at the same time spent a lot of resources to launch the highest-level divination ceremony in the hidden world with it as the target." Bai Ju said, "Then, I got a lot of information from it, and I also observed the scenery of another universe. It's not other planets, not even other galaxies or river systems. It's the one we've been in since the bottom order place in a very different universe."

"Different underlying orders..." The missionary frowned, "Can you give me an example?"

Bai Ju thought for a while, and then asked a seemingly irrelevant question, "Which one do you think is more orderly, abstract things or figurative things?"

"Abstract." Although the missionary didn't understand what he meant, he still replied, "Abstract is the act of extracting essence from phenomena. For example, mathematics is a knowledge full of order that is completely established in the field of abstraction. However, reality may not always conform to mathematics." Calculations, because reality tends toward chaos."

"Yes, but it's different in that universe..." Bai Ju said, "The abstract realm of that universe is frantic and dark. The more you try to explore the underlying rules, the more you can feel that there is madness and impossibility everywhere." Name. Although we don’t know whether the underlying order of the universe we live in is chaotic, and it’s hard to say that there must be order here, but the chaos there simply doesn’t hide itself at all. This is the result of my observation. If fanatics A person who was born in that universe probably wouldn't want to live in that kind of place for even a second. Of course, the premise is that he has a way to die there."

"What do you mean, is the concept of life and death in that universe chaotic?" The missionary thought of more, "The undead we are studying now also have such immortality because the visitor came from that universe." sex?"

"There is still the concept of death there, but it's really not that easy to die completely. Especially in the time period I observed, it is even more of a luxury to get real death. So much so that living there Many people have developed a view of death that we cannot understand, and even have a fanatical worship of the concept of 'death' itself." Baiju said.

"There are living humans in that kind of place?" the missionary asked in surprise.

"Yes. Although I said earlier that I observed that universe, to be precise, I observed the planet where the visitor used to be. Just looking at the surface, that planet is very similar to our earth, and even has a developed human civilization , as well as numerous gods and elves and other inconceivable existences.” Baiju said, “However, in that chaotic universe, there can’t be a truly livable place. I don’t know what happened at that time... ...In short, at a certain point in time, hell flowed from the interior of that planet, and countless ghosts landed on the surface, destroying the civilization on the ground overnight."

"Ghosts?" the missionary asked, "You just said that there are many gods on that planet, what are they doing?"

"They all died without the power to resist. It's not because the gods are weak, but because the opponents are very different from the ghosts we know." Bai Ju said, "The ghosts on that planet generally have abilities beyond imagination. The immortality of life, and the closer to the depths of the ground, the stronger it is. The ghosts that land on the surface from the mantle generally have the unreasonable ability to reverse time and space, manipulate cause and effect, and tamper with logic, etc., and their number is far more than the number of ghosts on that planet. The total number of human beings is increasing rapidly all the time, and among them the extraordinarily powerful individuals can even wipe out celestial bodies like the moon like a joke."

He went on to say, "As for what a ghost is and why such a terrifying existence was born...Unfortunately, I don't know either."

"It's so absurd..." The missionary said in horror, "How can the human beings in that world survive?"

"There is no way to survive. In fact, the humans and gods on that planet were extinct in the first ten years after the catastrophe. The only thing left is the never-ending hell." Bai Ju said Here, I added a sentence, "At least that's what I observed."

After being shocked, the missionary suddenly realized, "Wait, you said that you observed there...you observed those terrifying ghosts? Even us warlocks can respond to the gaze of others. Will this behavior make those ghosts Aware of you, and the existence of our world?"

"Who knows. Maybe a few alien ghosts of unknown strength have crawled to our planet along my line of sight, or maybe I was lucky and nothing like that happened. I can't guarantee anything about them." Baiju said.

It's too irresponsible to say this... The missionary can only think about it in his heart.

Bai Ju glanced at the severed hand again, "Or this monster came to our world because of my observation, but the time of visit was a few years earlier."

"You are only able to observe another universe because it exists in front of you first. If it is true as you said, wouldn't the causal logic be completely messed up?" With the terrifying ability to tamper with the logic of cause and effect, isn't it impossible for Bai Ju to say?
"How on earth did it come to us?" he continued. "Also, you said it was a ghost, so why would it have a body?"

"Let me answer the second part of your question first. It's very simple. This is the result of humans and gods from other worlds trying to kill ghosts." Bai Ju said, "Why can't ghosts be killed? The root cause is that Because ghosts are inherently dead. Even if they have the power to destroy celestial bodies, they cannot kill a dead person. There is no concept of 'death' for dead beings. Therefore, humans and gods from other worlds have come up with a way—that is Give ghosts the concept of 'death' first."

"The specific method of operation is to allow the ghost to incarnate—first give it a body that can die, and then kill it." He continued, "I have to say, this is really a clever idea. Unfortunately, this idea They were not able to save them either. The disparity in strength between the enemy and the enemy has reached the point where such small tricks are far from enough to shake the situation. But they are not without results. The visitors originally came from the depths of the mantle, and they are especially Terrifying and powerful ghosts, they managed to seal it in this body after making countless sacrifices."

"And they killed it?" the missionary asked.

"It was only severely damaged to the point of dying, and before it could be killed, it accidentally traveled to our universe in the chaos of time and space. As I said before, that universe is very chaotic, especially on that planet. After the time and space of this world have been tampered with by countless billions of ghosts, there are frequent malfunctions, and most places are chaotic like a video game full of errors." Bai Ju said, "According to my speculation, it is coming to us. After that, the world failed to reach the ground first, but entered the ocean. This matter is not surprising from the perspective of probability, after all, more than [-]% of our planet is covered by oceans. Then it drifted in the ocean, while Imitate the sea creatures I saw, even sea monsters..."

The missionary asked strangely: "It also has the ability to mimic the body?"

"That's probably not its original ability. If I'm not wrong in my reasoning, that ability should be that it tried to break through this body from a macro or micro, or a multi-dimensional perspective, but failed. Instead, it made The distortion and deformation of the body. It is a bit reluctant to call it 'mimicry'." Bai Ju said, "At the end of the long wandering, it ran aground on the coast of Shangshen City, and I found it by chance. took it."

"I heard that it only eats human flesh, why is that?" the missionary asked, "Why does it have such malice towards humans? Because the ones who sealed it are humans and gods, so it really wants to devour them both? "

"I don't know. Maybe it's just as you said, or maybe it's other reasons. I advise you not to speculate about it with human thinking." Bai Ju stared at the severed hand in the glass tank, and said that it was not like a scientist would. Said, "You just treat it as a complete monster that appears in a horror movie with no beginning and no end. It's better not to think too deeply about such inexplicable things. Until the end of the film, it will not speak, nor will it will show its truth.”

After listening to his words, the missionary fell into deep thought.

I also silently digested the information I just heard.

"It" is not a living thing at all, but a ghost from another universe... In other words, have I been intercourse with ghosts all this time?

The figure of "it" quietly staying in the dark corner like a female ghost emerged in my mind, as well as its extremely pale and icy skin at all times.

I feel that I have received too much shocking information, and I can't turn my mind for a while.

I used to think that "it" came from a monster in the ocean, so it can explain why I can slightly manipulate water and breathe underwater after receiving the power supported by "it", and why the Siren Blade There are traces of rust like seawater corrosion... But Baiju's explanation shattered my imagination.Could it be that those abilities and traces are all just because I used the power of the true spirit, because "I feel that I have received the power of the ocean attribute, so there should be some changes like that"?

After thinking about it, the missionary said, "I have one more question."

"Ask." Bai Ju nodded.

The missionary glanced at the severed hand in the glass tank with inexpressible horror, and asked, "Is it...really dead now?"
