Chapter 1536 The Scale of Good and Evil (1)

The centuries-old war between Britain and France. [Night Watchman] has also experienced it... It's just that as an older king, he doesn't have much interest in this kind of mutual killing between human races.

If I remember correctly, he happened to be in the Far East at that time. On the one hand, he was avoiding the war, and on the other hand, he was looking for the legendary elixir in the Far East.

But he had the right to live forever because he had made a wish to the magic lamp... What about Xie Jiatu?
Naturally, he wouldn't have made a wish to the magic lamp... How did he manage to live forever?At this time, even the [Night Watchman], who was not interested in what Xie Jiatu wanted to do behind his back, was a little bit moved by Xie Jiatu's ability to live till now.

"You have lived for such a long time." [Night Watchman] shook his head: "Actually, a hundred years is enough for a person to forget many things. As for hundreds of years, even hatred will have decayed long ago... ...but you still seem persistent."

"Let me tell you a story." The high priest Xie Jiatu waved his hand at this moment.

On the metal wall behind him, more than a dozen grids suddenly cracked - from among these grids, drones the size of washbasins flew out slowly.

They projected laser light through the transparent tempered glass walls——the moment the light converged, some images unfolded in front of [Night Watchman].

A quiet mountain village slowly unfolds in front of [Night Watchman].

The voice of the high priest also sounded at this time: "This is the place where I was born... It is recorded in a peaceful town in the Kingdom of France. As you know, I was born in that era of war."

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky, and the quiet town was dyed crimson. The flames of war began to engulf all the houses, roads... people here.

Amidst the ruins, a ten-year-old child was carrying a younger girl on his back, walking with difficulty on the streets of the charred town.

The child was barefoot, and his feet had been burned by the scorching earth... Finally, his physical strength was exhausted, and he fell to the ground.

"This is me." Pointing to the child who fell on the ground, the high priest said slowly, "Do you feel it?"

[Night Watchman] said indifferently: "It's very pitiful, but since he lives in the era of war, it is obvious that he is not the only one who will encounter tragic things."

"I guess you would say that." The high priest smiled at this time, and he looked at the child in the image, "Obviously, I didn't think so at the time. For a child who lost all his relatives , his only thought at the time was only hatred for the whole world."

[Night Watchman] glanced at the high priest, "Now?"

"There is nothing wrong with it." The high priest said indifferently: "The progress of human civilization has always been accompanied by war and blood... The arrival of this misfortune can only be said that I did not have enough ability to protect my family at that time... Even I myself will die at any time. So all my anger and hatred at that time were defeated by impotent rage."

[Night Watchman] said indifferently: "For this child, don't you think your point of view is too harsh."

"He needs to recognize this fact." The high priest smiled and said, "Recognize it, that is, even if he treats life gently, life will not show mercy to him."

"So?" [Night Watchman] frowned, "You plan to take revenge on life...on the world?"

The high priest shook his head: "I said, there is nothing wrong with it. At that time, I was so small, that's why I hated... But obviously not now, because as long as I want, I even have The ability to change the entire world.”

[Night Watchman] sneered suddenly: "With this place? Oh... Or, with your means of duplicating human beings?"

"I call it [The Scale of Good and Evil]." The high priest said slowly: "I didn't copy anyone, but just separated the good and evil of people."

"[The Scale of Good and Evil]?" [Night Watchman] couldn't help but frowned, and seemed to think of something vaguely, "You mean, Ma'at's...the Scale of Good and Evil?"

The high priest smiled slightly and said: "I think you will think of it immediately, after all, it is the king of the seventh dynasty... But it is a pity that it is different from the legendary [Ma'at's Scale of Good and Evil] that you know. There are still differences."

[Night Watchman] looked at the drones suspiciously - the drones began to change to another set of images at this time.

In the image, a young man appeared, his appearance was similar to that of the little boy in the war before, and he was also very similar to the face of the high priest standing in front of him now—this was Xie Jiatu when he was young.

The young Xiejiatu is currently in a desert... The oasis is where the oasis temple is located.

"I found this scale here." The high priest's voice echoed in the empty room, "I touched it, and it completely separated my good thoughts and malice... Then, I became two , and at the same time my soul has gained eternal life."

[Night Watchman] frowned deeper, he was trying to use what he saw and heard in his long life to understand what the high priest said... to judge the authenticity of this matter.

"Who is the person standing here now?" [Night Watchman] asked suddenly.

"If I say that I am kind, you will believe me." The high priest smiled at this time and said, "You may assume that I am not the kind one, but the one pretended to be malicious. So which one am I?" It doesn't matter—what matters is why I'm telling you this."

"Oh?" [Night Watchman] frowned.

The high priest spread his hands and said, "I'm doing a great experiment... I want to invite you to complete this experiment with me - in a long time, you are the most special human being I have encountered! You have With your long life, your knowledge is incomparably rich, and you have a strong body, you can definitely be the best assistant for this long experiment—of course, this decision was made after you received the invitation letter to explore the Oasis Temple I found out about your secret... Don't you think it's a destiny? At first, I just wanted some outstanding scholars, but I didn't expect you to be among them."

[Night Watchman] shook his head, obviously feeling rather helpless about this matter—but the high priest's words made some things that he couldn't figure out before become coherent.

As early as half a year ago, after he received a mysterious invitation letter from an investor, he felt a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart—it’s just that he himself has been searching for mysterious power—for a certain purpose in his heart.

More than half a year ago, a whole team of archaeological teams, after experiencing several hardships, finally arrived at the Oasis Temple-this temple has never appeared in the text of human history.

They almost went crazy and rushed into the temple...the beginning of all this.

【Night Watchman】Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the Ibn who was hiding behind the gate. At this time, he looked at Ibn furtively—the scholars who entered the temple at the beginning were just like Ibn's current appearance.

They forgot everything and turned into puppet-like appearances. They have been doing all kinds of research in the depths of this temple—even himself, let the high priest conduct research in a strange way. copied.

It's just that he is special after all...a human being without any special ability except longevity.

His rich knowledge and experience allowed him to escape - since then, he has been hiding in this City of the Sun, quietly waiting for the opportunity.

Ibn...that is, Aria, because he had no knowledge, lost his memory, and was thrown into the City of the Sun to fend for himself.

The entire City of the Sun is actually under the surveillance of the High Priest—everywhere in the City of the Sun, surveillance cameras are installed, and there are even drones disguised as birds in the sky.

The entire City of the Sun is like a huge experimental field—except for the high priest himself, everyone living here is probably a part of his experiment.

After figuring this out, [Night Watchman]... the real Mr. Otto, if he said that there was no disturbance in his heart, it would be untenable—he even started to be surprised by the other party's ability to act!
As a human being who has also gained longevity, compared to what the high priest Xie Jiatu did, Mr. Otto suddenly found that he really looked like a salted fish?

"What exactly is the experiment you're talking about?" After a long silence, 【Night Watchman】finally went straight to the subject—lived for a long time, got old, and many times he was unwilling to understand what things the process of.

"I found that there is a soul in this magical scale." The high priest Xie Jiatu said with a faint look of enthusiasm at this time: "I can feel the power of this soul in the scale...it is the master of the scale, and it has all the powers of human beings. Unimaginable power! But it is incomplete, so it has been in a dormant state...I want to make up for this incomplete soul!"

"Finished the soul?!" [Night Watchman] was slightly startled.

The theory of the soul has been a huge puzzle that cannot be solved since ancient times, whether it is the West and ancient Egypt he stayed in, or the Far East region he traveled to!
"How to make it up?" [Night Watchman] couldn't help but asked directly - even though he looked so stupid when he asked the question... He even felt his own stupidity, but still I can't hold back a certain thirst for knowledge in my heart.

The long time has made his knowledge rich enough to eclipse the most outstanding scholars in the world—but even so, there are still many things in the world that he cannot unravel... The theory of soul, obviously this one of them.

——If the soul can be completed...if the soul can be programmed...

—Resurrection...resurrect her!

[Night Watchman]'s gaze instantly resembled that of a beast, and this gaze was extremely aggressive... The high priest seemed to feel the obsession in the gaze of the real Mr. Otto, and couldn't help frowning: "Otto, it seems that you There are more stories than I know so far... I am really more and more interested in you!"

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly...how on earth are you going to make up for a broken soul?" [Night Watchman] Otto asked in a deep voice.

The high priest said seriously: "It's very simple, just create a perfect enough shell, and then use it as the residence of this incomplete soul! This shell is enough to make up for the incomplete part of the soul... When the perfect shell is completed, it will be the incomplete soul. When you wake up."

[Night Watchman] couldn't help frowning, he pondered what the high priest said... but the eagerness in his eyes gradually cooled down.

He shook his head, "I don't know how you came up with this method, or where you got your inspiration from... But I don't think this method is feasible."

The high priest frowned.

[Night Watchman] said indifferently: "In the Far East, there is a saying called resurrection of the soul. It roughly means that a dead soul is attached to the body of another dead person, and then the other dead person can Resurrected... Question: Who is this resurrected person?"

The high priest said without thinking: "His soul is the first person to die, and his mind is also the first person to die. I think, therefore I am... He is naturally the first, no matter how the appearance changes. Only the inside remains the same.”

[Night Watchman] took a deep look at the high priest: "Then, in the years to come, the first person can only survive as the second person. Because he has the appearance of the second person, and he has the appearance of the second person." What is the blood relationship belonging to the second person. Then you say, which one is he?"

"He knows it himself." The high priest snorted coldly.

"Only he himself knows." [Night Watchman] shook his head, and casually glanced at the high priest: "You won't know either."

"You are wrong." The high priest smiled and said, "What I care about is not which one it is, but the experiment itself—if it is revived, it will prove that what I did was not wrong. This will be one of the greatest discoveries ever made by mankind."

"But what I need is not these." [Night Watchman] shook his head: "What I need is a definite, real, and unique soul."

He and the high priest looked at each other... confronted.

After a long time, the high priest let out a sigh of relief: "I always make some last-ditch efforts, but often such efforts are in vain... Otto, how I wish you could understand me."

[Night Watchman] Didn't speak... The good conversation actually came to an end here—he concentrated his mind, his whole body tensed up, and then he raised the carbon fiber black knife in his hand. I'm afraid he won't have a good time in the future.

Generally, at this time, there is probably only one result left.

"Don't worry, I never kill people." The high priest shook his head: "I hate to let a life disappear...but you will have a long period of time without knowing who you are, and you will also become a nutrient for the growth of this shell."

After all, the High Priest clapped his hands... The surrounding metal walls suddenly cracked piece by piece—only guards in white robes slowly walked out of these cracked entrances one by one.

They approached [Night Watchman] Otto step by step... At the same time, their bodies began to undergo some strange changes—as if something was about to burst out of their bodies.
