Chapter 1640 Fighting wits with the air
He met his eyes, for a long time... After a long time, [the owner]'s eyes flashed a look of admiration.

【Shopkeeper】Looking at Boss Luo, he said, "I can't ask for your name."

Boss Luo also smiled slightly at this time and said, "I can't ask about your past either."

[The owner] waved his hand, and Miss Eleanor, who was standing still beside her, was sent out of the study, which would make the conversation more comfortable.

[Shopkeeper] At this time, he smiled and said: "That black soul messenger named Nero, you have planted spiritual seeds on her before, right? With the help of this connection, you can make another one with this era. The related ordinary people are sent back, the seeds in Nero's body are stimulated again, and then the will comes... very good method, I didn't think of this before."

Boss Luo shook his head, "It's a relatively successful attempt."

[Shopkeeper] nodded, "I have done similar things, but unfortunately my predecessor didn't seem to cooperate with me."

In simple words, Boss Luo knows a lot... He is the shop that the [shop owner] in front of him took over, and the [shop owner] also took over from the previous one.

"We can't find the source of its inheritance, at present." [Shopkeeper] clasped his hands and said at this time, "Its existence is far more ancient than you imagine."

Boss Luo has a lot of questions and puzzles, and he hopes to get something from [the shop owner]. This discussion may not be completed in a short time, "Why, did you choose me?"

"It seems that I will really choose you later." [The shop owner] thought for a while and said, "But I can't answer this question for you now-because I haven't met you officially yet, and I don't know that I will meet you tomorrow. Naturally, I don't know what kind of thinking it is, and what is the reason for transferring the store to you... Moreover, this is even an inevitable result."

Boss Luo was lost in thought.

This is indeed an inevitable result.

If because of his coming to this era, the [Shop Owner] knew the future in advance, if the [Shop Owner] did not choose to hand over the shop, then he might disappear now... If he fails to become the shop owner, he will not be able to Come to this out of control.

"Since the future operates in this way under the control of the root, then the paragraph about my encounter with you will be erased after you leave." [The owner] replied: "I will completely forget about this matter, But when you come back, you won't...do you know why?"

Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Anything I ask you can be bought from the altar in the end, so in the future, I only know about the past... In fact, I don't have any knowledge about the past. Impact."

As he said that, Boss Luo waved his hand, but his palm directly penetrated the table—he was unable to touch anything in this era, and probably no one could know his arrival except the [shopkeeper].

"No, it can still have some impact." [Shopkeeper] shook his head and said: "After all, there is a little disorder in this time and space, but it is not caused by you... Or, it is not the one in front of me that you caused. Brought, but it is also brought by you - you who are more distant than this you in front of me. There is no doubt that you will be stronger and richer, so I can do it. Know why I ask Athens Do you want to hold a battle for the Saint Cloth of the Crane?"

Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "To cooperate with me?"

"There is a key point in this war." [The owner] nodded: "It is also the closest coordinate that can allow you to descend successfully in this era... After all, what you are doing now, even the so-called gods I can't do it, and if you succeeded, even I, if there is no other cooperation, I can't do it."

Luo Qiu shook his head: "You are richer than me, I am evaporating my time all the time, and it will reach the limit soon."

[Shopkeeper] said: "Theoretically, I'm not much better than you, there are only so many benchmarks. You see, the capacity of this cup is fixed. I have two liters of water, and I can fill it up. And you only have one liter of water, but it can also be filled, the effect of what I and you do is the same, this is its benchmark, its limit, beyond this limit, it is the same. We don't care enemy, no matter how much water you have, you can only fill this glass of water."

"So, it doesn't matter whether I do business or not?" Boss Luo asked curiously.

In his own era, he could be nearly omniscient at any time... But the one in front of him has existed for a longer time than him as the shopkeeper-he is also omniscient in his era.

In the system of the shop, there is a continuous lineage, and there is no so-called enemy in the shop. The relationship between the previous and the next is probably at most a communication relationship.

"It's better to be rich than to be poor." [The owner] smiled casually at this time and said: "For example, when I want to enjoy myself, but I don't have enough time on hand, it will appear very embarrassing...Of course , My development direction is somewhat different from yours, and your material needs may be easier than mine."

Boss Luo shook his head... His need for material things is actually not high.

[Shopkeeper] said: "I mean, I think you are a warrior, and you are like a mage. Our strength is equal, but a mage can do many things that a warrior can't, but it is relatively low. A warrior It is physically stronger and safer than a mage. But the shop has an absolute defense mechanism for the shop owner... You see, it is quite embarrassing for an eternal body like me... Moreover, once I Out of the store, it will all be stripped from me very quickly."

"You still have time, you can completely change this direction." Luo Qiu said directly.

"I like your proposal." [The shop owner] smiled, a gratified smile, "Because it shows that you have a special idea that someone else thinks about, and you are not even afraid that if I change the direction, it will lead to the current situation. The disappearance of you, the disappearance of your era, the disappearance of everything you experienced in the future... After becoming the owner of the shop, you are almost omnipotent, but you don't mind these disappearing, how should I evaluate you?"

"There are many things I can't do." Boss Luo said quietly.

For example, he has no way to have an era in which he and his father existed at the same time, and he can't even recover the emotions that have been stripped away by the altar.

This time because of Pride, he was angry once. I am afraid that the next time he encounters the same thing, he will become less angry... If his emotion is a loophole, then every time it happens, he will be angry. It will be patched by the altar, and the loopholes will only become fewer and fewer.

"You have to understand that those things you can't do may be the price for you to have all of them." [The owner] Xu Kou said: "I don't know what price I will use in the future to sell the shop. Hand it over to you, but you can’t bear the price if you think about it.”

"What did you pay for?" Boss Luo suddenly asked.

[Shopkeeper] shook his head and said: "I don't know what I paid... After inheriting it, this paragraph has been erased, and I have been searching, but what I need to pay has not been enough so far. ... The altar is quite fair. You may only pay for a trivial memory, but you will want to know it all the time, and you will also have a desire to know, and then the desire will be infinitely expanded. This trivial memory, It will become something you can't even ask for... Because you who have lost this memory, you don't know whether this memory is really insignificant, or whether it is more important to you than life... to the guests. Information asymmetry also applies to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is the biggest and most stable customer of the shop... You should have some experience of this."

"So, you really don't plan to think about it and change direction?" Luo Qiu asked suddenly.

[Shopkeeper] said indifferently: "I've said it before, about this encounter, after you leave, it will definitely be erased... What I said, what I discussed with you, it will only be [never happened] 】Yes, since nothing happened, why do you make me feel that I have walked a wrong path. "

"You're too calm." Boss Luo smiled wryly.

"It's the same with you." [Shopkeeper] smiled and said, "Even if I can calculate my own situation in the future, I don't feel angry at all. This is me, our common sorrow."

"But in fact, this kind of sadness does not exist." Luo Qiu said suddenly: "You can always maintain this state, and I can always maintain my state, standing outside the long river of time, watching the flowing water of time... you Say, we have no enemies at all."

"That's right." [Shopkeeper] smiled and said: "If I am determined to do nothing now, you will not come here. I can truly exist forever, watching the birth and destruction of countless civilizations, an infinite loop... But in fact, you are still in front of my eyes at this moment, which proves that I still did something. Do you know why this is?"

Boss Luo fell into deep thought.

There is no enemy, it can exist forever, standing at the top of all living beings, even the so-called gods, is truly detached from everything... It is a higher material dimension than countless sub-worlds, as long as it is willing, it can always exist, indeed There is no reason to die.

"Because, like you, I am also looking for a few fun." [The owner] thought for a while and said: "I am thinking, if I transfer the shop to you, it is probably because I want to pursue my own fun, maybe It’s still the last bit of fun. If I miss it, I will completely become the representative of the altar, and I will no longer be myself... I exist, but at the same time I have been denied existence. Obviously, even at this stage For me, when I think about this question, I still almost instinctively feel afraid...Look at me, my fingers tremble slightly, obviously I am still afraid in my heart, but my expression and my eyes can't see it."

"But what if it's not fun." Luo Qiu asked suddenly.

"Then there is only one possibility." [Shopkeeper] thought for a while and said: "I, you, may be my predecessor, or my predecessor, a future set up in the past. Just like the world in the whole Ah Under the control of the Reyer system, each has its own script of civilization... Maybe we have it too."

"Does it feel like being manipulated by someone..." Luo Qiu lowered his head and pondered.

"Look, I'm just saying that." [Shopkeeper] smiled at this time, like a smirk: "But you have already lost in thought, and started to estimate the correctness of this matter based on the existing conditions. sex."

"Shouldn't it be?" Boss Luo couldn't help being startled.

"Why do you think this is necessary?" [The owner] said bluntly: "Why not another possibility... In fact, as the owner, we never need to pay anything. The lucky one, you don’t need to do anything at all, you can do anything, no one will punish you, let alone the so-called cause and effect, everything should be under your control, you can destroy it, you can reorganize it , you can do whatever you want—you really don’t need to pay anything, are you really unreasonably the luckiest one?”

"This..." Luo Qiu couldn't help opening his mouth... [The shop owner]'s remarks even impacted some of his inherent concepts.

[Shopkeeper] smiled and said: "Anything is possible. What you think should not happen, in fact, is happening in different places every moment. Those impossible, even miracles are the same. Maybe you For a long time, I have felt that something seems to be at the mercy of you, but it is just your illusion... You may have been fighting wits and courage with the air all this time."

All this time, maybe it's just a battle of wits with the air... is it possible?

Maybe it's possible, since anything can happen.

Luo Qiu couldn't help but fell silent.

[Shopkeeper] obviously has more wisdom than him. This is a quantitative accumulation... [Shopkeeper] has a profound accumulation that Boss Luo does not have. It is nothing to blame, but they are not walking the same road.

"Then... the future me, why should this time and space have such a disorder."

Finally, Boss Luo asked one of the most important questions of the trip.

[Shopkeeper] thought for a while and said: "Perhaps, I just want you to be with me and understand that I don't need to do anything at all. You see, compared to any one, even the black soul messenger of the shop itself, Would it be more convincing for me, who is the previous [shopkeeper] to you, and even more so, the [shopkeeper] who personally handed over the shop to you, to explain these things?"

This point, Luo Qiu had to admit...it was true.

Is it really that simple?
Maybe it's really just that simple... It's just that I'm used to assuming something - like the delusion that there are always bad people who want to harm me?
Yes... and no.
