Casting spells

moment!

A row of originally silent skeletons, with a terrifying red light suddenly appearing from their eye sockets, whispered in an ancient language: "Satan! Satan! Praise you! The greatest Lord of hell! You are evil, cruel, and cunning Incarnation! The brightest star in the sky!"

Accompanied by the singing of these skeletons, a large number of bones suddenly made a crackling sound.

In just a few minutes, a tunnel opened up beside the impenetrable ancient wall for one person to pass through.

It was pitch black inside, with no light at all.

However, with his dark vision, Zhang Cheng could clearly see in the empty hall inside a dead body without any signs of life, lying in a coffin made of unknown materials.

No rot!

Not shriveled!

There is no disgusting rancid smell!

Not so much a corpse, but more like, say, a handsome male who just fell into a deep sleep.

It is more than two meters tall, with rune-like horns on its head, fair and translucent skin, and two feet shaped like raisins.

"This is Satan, the devil?" Zhang Cheng asked in an uncertain tone.

"Yes! He is! If you want to get something from him, you'd better be careful. After all, even if he is dead, he is still the strongest devil in hell." Eshima smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

You don't need to ask, she obviously doesn't intend to follow up.

"Hehe, don't worry, according to someone's prophecy, I just get back what belongs to me, and I won't encounter any danger."

As he spoke, Zhang Cheng strolled carelessly stepping on the hideous bones under his feet, and disappeared into the darkness.

As soon as he entered with his front foot, the entrance of his back foot was completely sealed by the bone wall.

Feeling the rising temperature in the surrounding air, Eshima immediately smiled and shook her head, and said to the strange snake wrapped around her arm: "My friend, do you still remember that this is the first one who tried to obtain the inheritance of the demon king Satan?" guy?"

"Fourteen? Fifteen? Sorry, I can't remember clearly. Anyway, the end result is the same, no one can get out of it alive. But you are really insidious, and you actually used this method to eliminate countless competitors .” The strange snake opened its mouth and said sarcastically.

"No, you don't understand. It's not my intention to let them die. My original intention is to find a real devil who is qualified to inherit the power of Satan and lead hell to glory. But those guys have let me down. I hope this This time I can succeed. After all, I saw a little shadow of Satan in him."

With the last word blurted out, the magma around the entire tomb of bones suddenly began to erupt.

Especially the hundreds of meters of magma column, no matter how you look at it, it is so spectacular.

Seeing this scene, Eshima immediately raised the corners of her mouth and murmured in a voice that only she could hear: "Ah! The test has begun! Great devil Satan, I hope you will be satisfied with this successor, otherwise I will It's been a long time since you've had a hard time finding a target as vile, brutal, and ambitious as this..."

Chapter 871 Doubt

"Have you ever doubted your own life?" A young and handsome ghost in the depths of the tomb asked with a half-smile.

From the face that is exactly the same as the corpse lying in the coffin, it is not difficult to tell that he is the remnant soul of Satan, the former master of hell, or a remnant of some kind of consciousness.

"Doubt life?" Zhang Cheng obviously didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to express, and subconsciously frowned.

Xu Ying nodded slightly: "That's right! Look at the world we live in. Have you ever suspected that it is fake or controlled by some mysterious force? Have you ever questioned whether you really exist?"

"No! There is no need! Because this is a paradox, an endless loop that can never be proven, and I don't want to waste time on a boring philosophical question." Zhang Cheng hesitated for a moment, and quickly gave a negative answer. Answer.

You must know that in [-], the philosopher Hilary Putnam put forward a very interesting concept in the book "Reason, Truth, and History", called the brain in the tank.

To put it simply, it is to put a person's brain in a sealed container, and use the power of technology to create a virtual world that is exactly the same as the real world. Whether it is touch, smell, vision, or hearing, it can be realized through the neural transformation system.

At this time, can the brain in the tank realize that it is living in a virtual world?

Does it sound very similar to the famous Matrix trilogy?

In fact, the latter was inspired by the former to create such an interesting script.

In fact, a long time ago, many scientists had suspected that humans on earth might live in super-civilized virtual computers.

But the problem is that humans simply cannot prove whether this is true or just pure fantasy.

Because if it is true, as a "brain in a vat", the connection between human beings and the outside world is completely controlled by a super civilization. It is absolutely impossible to find abnormalities in life like the Matrix, let alone have the so-called "common sense". .

As a realist, Zhang Cheng has no interest in wasting time on this. Even if he lives in a virtual world, he still wants to make the most powerful virtual code.

"Ah! I can feel that your will is very firm and you will not be easily influenced by the outside world. But it doesn't matter, I have something that can be called evidence. I believe you will understand what I mean after reading it."

The voice just fell!

The ghost hooked his fingers at the coffin where his remains were placed.

moment!

The corpse that hadn't rotted for thousands of years suddenly exploded with a bang, and a prism-shaped crystal shot out from inside.

Before Zhang Cheng figured out what it was, the crystals began to refract light and shadow outward, and finally formed a realistic holographic image in the air.

"This is……"

"Shh! Keep quiet! Don't ask anything, and I won't answer any questions. See with your own eyes and think with your mind." Xu Ying put a finger on his lips, eyes flickering Meaningful light.

On a barren plain, there was a very weak demon, struggling and crawling forward.

It was badly injured, hungry and thirsty, but the two eyes did not give up hope of survival.

But like all cruel realities, willpower can never overcome objective facts, and finally exhausted, it stopped crawling and lay on its back, silently waiting for death to come.

pain!

despair!

fear!

Just when the poor demon was about to die, a ray of light suddenly fell from the sky, and then a black-haired man walked out from the beam of light.

Due to his back view, his face cannot be seen for the time being.

The man bent down and said something in the little devil's ear, and then the little devil regained his sense of survival and nodded his head desperately.

Maybe some conditions were agreed, or maybe an unknown transaction was completed.

Anyway, the man ended up stuffing a black metal ball the size of a fingernail into the demon's mouth.

Just a second later!

The little devil who was on the verge of death began to grow wildly as if he had eaten gold!

After a while, the short, thin, and weak little devil actually grew into a young and handsome big devil, hardly different from Satan's corpse.
