Chapter 16: Secrets in the Real World (Part II)
Standing up, Chen Yi picked up his Xiaomi's mobile phone that was thrown away, and looked at the time from the shattered screen.
8:15 a.m.
Putting the phone back in his trouser pocket, Chen Yi walked back to the black-robed man, and the electric baton was slammed on the other party's face: "How long will it take for those reinforcements of yours to arrive?"
"Ten minutes at most. β
"Good. Chen Yi glanced at the spatial crack not far away, and said, "Then move on to the next question." You said that your academy is called Qingcang Academy, right? So the current situation, is your academy trying to arrest me, or is the entire mage world trying to arrest me?"
"The whole mage world, you think you're ...... No, it's just our academy. The black-robed man wanted to continue to sneer, but he changed his words sensibly halfway.
"If I slaughter you now, how will they know I did it? β
"Don't... Don't be kidding......" The black-robed man's face turned pale instantly: "There are so many monitors and citizens near the park, it's easy to find you." You... You've already been involved in the deaths of two mages, and if you kill me again, your consequences will be terrible. β
"How miserable?"
"How miserable do you say?"
"If I don't kill you, won't I die too?" Chen Yi sneered.
"No... No, if I intercede with you, you'll probably only be burned for an hour. β
"What if I kill you?"
"Then you will be burned for more than three hours!" the black-robed man roared excitedly.
"Crackle, crackle!"
Chen Yi decisively pressed the electric baton button.
Is it when he is an idiot? If he has three hours of cheapness, how stupid will he be to choose an hour?
The high-end ash sorting furnace in the crematorium burns for 30 minutes longer than the low-grade flat furnace......
"You can't do this to a noble mage!"
"Noble balls. Shut up! Your life is in my hands. Chen Yi slammed the electric baton hard: "Then start, I ask, you answer!How many mage academies are there in the mirror world?"
"It's too much, I don't quite know. β
"You're a mage, and you don't know this basic question?"
"Then do you know how many provinces there are on Earth?" the black-robed man asked rhetorically.
ββ¦β¦β
"Crackle, crackle!"
"Ahh
"Next question, is there any danger in the mirror world?"
The black-robed man who was called seemed to calm down a lot, and replied in a muffled voice: "There is danger." The mirror world is huge, connected to many planets like Earth. Naturally...... Do you want to hide in the world of mirrors?"
"Shut up! Now I'm asking you!" Chen Yi frowned: "What do you mean by connecting many planets like Earth? β
"To put it simply, the mirror world is a projection of the real world. And in the galaxy there are not only Earth civilizations, but also many other civilizations. As long as a certain planet produces intelligent civilizations, it will be 'projected' into the mirror world, and it is of course very dangerous for so many civilizations to be crowded in one space without the vast cosmic distance in the real world. β
"Alien civilization?Is there really an alien civilization in the universe?!"
"Of course. Are you naΓ―ve enough to think that human beings are unique?"
ββ¦β¦ That... So we're all stuck with these aliens?"
"That's right, the projection world is like that. You can understand that countless planets are pieced together into a continent in the mirror world. β
"It's unbelievable...... Chen Yi's brain was a little trance-like: "Since there are many civilizations in the mirror world sticking together, won't there be a war?"
"How can there be no war? The mirror world is constantly at war. The black-robed man twisted his stiff neck: "Can you stop asking, I'm just a little mage on a mission for the first time, and I don't know too deep a question at all." β
Chen Yi was unmoved, and continued to ask: "You can enter the mirror world, and the people in the inner world can also come out, right? Is it possible that the earth in the real world will be invaded?"
"It's possible. The black-robed man's expression became serious: "The safety of the real world is mainly because of the distance between planets. Under the laws of physics, where the speed of light cannot be surpassed, it is extremely difficult for every civilization to make contact. And in the mirror world, everyone is in an 'arena', and the natural brains are all out. As long as the mirror world is lost, the enemy will 'drill out' to invade the real world and accumulate resources. β
"To put it this way...... Isn't the Earth dangerous?"
"My teacher once said that the competition of civilizations is to live in the dead. The speed of light cannot be broken, and for the development of civilization, the only way to plunder the resources of other civilizations is through the "channel" of the mirror world. But fortunately, our human transcendent group is still quite powerful, and the possibility of being invaded is not much for the time being. β
In other words......" Chen Yi grasped the crux of the problem: "A smart civilization is divided into two parts, one is ordinary people, and the other is an extraordinary person who guards the mirror world, right?"
"Yes. The black-robed man nodded: "On the one hand, we will develop science and technology, and on the other hand, we will develop extraordinary abilities." β
"So what's the use of ordinary people? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to go to the mirror world to develop?"
"False! There is a limit to the development of transcendent knowledge, but the development of science and technology is endless! Ordinary people are far more important than you think. The root of civilization is the common man. Even if the real world is invaded by a hostile civilization, as long as human beings still have physics, technology, industry, and weapons, it is still unknown who will die. Transcendents are useless when they enter the real world, and civilizational wars are fought in the real world in the end. β
Chen Yi suddenly scratched the roots of his ears, and after trying to digest this amazing information, he felt hopeless about his situation.
Obviously, from a certain point of view, the transcendent realm and the official countries are "one group".
Then he still has a hairy use for calling the police?
It's not necessarily safe to run to a black country, right?
It's just that......
I wonder if the poor aura has an effect on the "aliens"? If it does, in case the "aliens" invade one day, maybe you can try to be a big hero or something......
Well, just thinking about it......
"I have one more question......"
"Big brother, spare me! Don't ask!"
"The last one, the last question. Chen Yi smiled and stretched out a finger: "Can I join the gang?"
"In... Occupancy?"
"Yes, if you join your academy and become a mage of your gang, won't you die?"
If he could become a mage, with the help of the poor necklace, Chen Yi thought he could go to heaven......
ββ¦β¦ Do you think the academy is a group of thieves?
"Very good, you are a fool. Disappointed, Chen Yi picked up the brick and held it high above the top: "Then I have no reason not to start." β
"Wait... Wait a minute, its... Actually, I think this matter is negotiable......" The man in the black robe panicked.
"Heh!"
Chen Yi smiled and lifted the brick.
