Chapter 134 The Essence of Foresight

(Chapter 2 explosive update!)
"Hey!? Where did this thing come from?"

Obviously this game is called "Rite of Cthulhu", but he feels that Amishus is more like the real final boss.

Amitheus, a elusive and unpredictable guy, brought him more oppression and tension than Cthulhu. The unshakable ceiling-level existence of Mr. Ke is more like a natural disaster than a possibility. against the enemy...

Every recovery of Cthulhu has traces to follow, but the whereabouts of Amishus are very different every time.

Zhou Ze resisted the urge to slash at it, and pressed the dialogue button.

"Amitheus, I won the bet. The blood sacrifice formation you prepared has been completely destroyed by me. You have no reason to stay here. If you leave now, I can give you a chance to join our organization..."

"Bet? Oh, hehe, that's how it is."

The blue-clothed youth whose body was occupied by Amishus grinned sharply: "Sure enough, you also have some kind of predictive ability, which is interesting... Well, you will win this bet."

and also?
Zhou Ze keenly noticed that Amishus's words were a bit strange.

He remembered the information he had received during the interrogation of the deep divers, which said that the priest predicted that the blood sacrifice would be successful.

Amishus also has the ability to prophesy?No, it should be foreknowledge.

Although prophecy and foreknowledge are just a word difference, they actually have completely different meanings.

A prophecy is a certainty that something will happen, and it cannot be changed. Even if you know the prophecy and try to change it, it may be self-defeating in the end and push it to happen, just like the law of fate in many tragic space-time movies.

Prediction is different. It is not as mysterious as prophecy. It belongs to a certain extent that anyone can do it. It is just to predict that something may happen along the current situation.

It's like the stone you're lifting falls down, and it's about to hit your foot.

The stone has not yet fallen, but you have predicted that the stone will hit your foot, which is actually a kind of short-term prediction.

Long-term prediction is actually to prolong this process. The variables may increase, but the principle remains the same, just like the relationship between a quadratic equation in one element and an N-degree equation in N elements.

The principle of foreknowledge is very scientific, but prophecy is at the level of metaphysics.

The biggest difference between foreknowledge and prophecy is that.

Precognitions can be changed by intervention.

Zhou Ze tentatively asked, "Why do you think I also have the ability to predict?"

"Because the result I predicted was disturbed, and the only variable is you."

Ametheus was calm and composed, not at all angry that the long-prepared plan was destroyed, as if he didn't care whether the blood sacrifice would be successful or not.

If Zhou Ze hadn't seen Ametheus's madness and cunning in different states in several other archives, he would really have thought that this guy was a calm, calm character with restrained emotions.

Zhou Ze: "Did you predict that the blood sacrifice would be successful?"

"more or less."

Amishus shrugged.

He turned his head and glanced at the backstage of the opera hall behind him, where the students held a mysterious ceremony to summon Hastur: "There are many uninvited performers on the stage, but these guys are under the spotlight and under my control... You are the only variable lurking in the dark."

He suddenly changed the subject: "Do you know what the essence of foreknowledge is?"

"???"

Zhou Ze in front of the screen was stunned.

How did this guy's brain circuit grow?Why did the topic suddenly jump back to prediction?
Ametheus continued on his own: "The essence of foreknowledge is to gain insight into the laws of operation of things."

Is it interesting to ask yourself?

"I can grasp the law of the operation of things because my existence is higher than this apparent world."

It suddenly cast a sharp gaze, those eyes were deep and exuded a mysterious atmosphere, as if they could penetrate the screen and directly look at Zhou Ze on the sofa: "You... how did you do it?"

How things work?
The nature of precognition?
Zhou Ze fell silent.

It's not that he hasn't thought about how the world game can predict what will happen in the future in advance, and express these events in the form of a game. The principle is definitely impossible to figure out with his knowledge reserve. He only knows that the world game has this kind of Magical predictive ability.

The evaluation endings uploaded by the game so far have not been changed.

This can't help but make Zhou Ze wonder whether the world game is predicting or prophesying?

Zhou Ze is more inclined to call the customs clearance process of the world game a preview.

Rehearsal, rehearsal.

Just like schools and companies conduct fire drills, although the World Game drills are more detailed and cheating, they are essentially designed to prevent disasters and make events develop in a better direction.

In fact, it is the past him and the future him who are working together to pass the level!Both sides are contributing, and the world game is just a vital medium.

"It seems that you don't know the essence of precognition... Well, this is good information, and this trip is not in vain."

Seeing that Zhou Ze didn't answer for a long time, Amitheus once again brought up that weird smile: "Back to the topic at the beginning, you said that you would give me a chance to join your organization? Tell me in detail."

Zhou Ze briefly summarized what he said to Amishus in the last file.

The so-called opportunity to join the organization is for him to recommend to the organization for Ametheus to join... The recommendation process takes time, and the review process also takes time. During this period, Ametheus may need to complete a request to submit the nomination certificate .

Of course, these remarks were all made by Zhou Ze casually.

He has already made up his mind, first use the rhetoric of joining the organization to drag Amishus. Even if this kind of existence with weird behavior cannot become a friend, it is best to avoid being an enemy in a short period of time. Time is a period of time.

It would be better to delay it for a month or two, wait for him to get through the first big world game, recruit new game characters to form a real prototype of the organization, and then turn around and think of a way to deal with Amytheus.

"Interesting, how long will it take for the recommendation and review you mentioned?"

Compared with the previous two dealings, Ametheus seemed to communicate well this time, at least on the surface.

Zhou Ze: "Three months at the latest, two months at the shortest."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

Amishus didn't feel that the time was too long at all, and readily agreed: "I believe your organization should not have difficulty finding my whereabouts. If you can't, it can only prove that your organization is not worthy of recruiting me."

The review time of two or three months has been agreed?
Zhou Ze was a little surprised. He had deliberately said the time was too long, and he was going to bargain with Amishus. As long as the time can be more than a month, it will be OK...

Could it be that the other party's view of time is different from your own?If I had known it would have been longer.

"It's a pity. It took more than a year of preparation to win the trust of Cthulhu. I originally thought that this blood sacrifice would revive the old ruler, but now it's all in vain."

Amytheus muttered to himself, his voice was not too loud, and it seemed that he was saying it to Zhou Ze on purpose.

"This crazy world is indeed always changing, like flowing water, which cannot be grasped."
