Volume 1 The Land of the Dead Chapter 178 The Black Box of Technology
Poof!"
The original serious and even somewhat questioning conversation changed in an instant, and the entropy demon replied seriously, but it made Roger suddenly squirt rice, if it wasn't for the ball-like entropy demon to continue to explain, Roger would have screamed strangely, shouting the line 'Your Excellency is not here to entertain the family'.
"Although there are racial memories that explain my existence and meaning, that awakening was the first time I had a clear sense of self, when I had just woken up from a deep slumber, and the racial memories of my own race told me. The world has undergone a terrible catastrophe, and time and space are being reborn on the ruins of concepts.
Instinct drove me to construct this space bubble to hunt creatures, but when I woke up, I realized that the world was very different, and that my space bubble was immersed in meaningless fluctuations of information, not cosmic space.
As for the inside of the space bubble, as I told you before, the race called the Crystal Clan has established a base here, and their people seem to know us Entropy Demons very well, I don't know if this is because their ancestors have seen my kindred, so the records left by them are still found in my space bubble.
All in all, the people of the Jing clan know about the existence of the high-dimensional me, and they are not afraid of my existence, we entropy demons have no society, and naturally there is no concept of business, but the people of the Jing clan, how to say it, even in my opinion, are a little too shrewd. β
Isn't it shrewd? It's all done to a creature like you, which can be said to be a typical example of asking for money and not dying......
Thinking of this, Roger couldn't help but slander: "The stingy eldest sister is tight-lipped about the information related to the Jing Clan, and telling me it won't make you lose your hair......."
The surface of the black sphere is constantly rotating, and the smooth mirror reflects Roger's big face, which has a bit of a haha mirror effect, while Roger is frowning at his reflection, the entropy demon is still diligently narrating: " When I woke up, I was very hungry, and I instinctively wanted to devour the prey that fell into the space bubble, which is the base of the crystal people, and just as I guided the space to change, they had a direct connection with my consciousness through that inexplicable spiritual power, and I memorized this method and used it on you. β
"So you're a genius. β
In line with the principle that anger does not pay for life, Roger hugged his arms and sneered, but he didn't expect the entropy demon to answer very seriously: "According to the available data, it is true." β
The Entropy Demon didn't seem to be joking on purpose, but was just explaining what had happened, which also made Roger wonder if this race was all a tendon and couldn't understand the so-called 'extraneous meaning'.
In that case, there was naturally nothing to be angry with a piece of wood, and through a brief conversation, Roger thought he had figured out the path of the entropy demon, shrugged his shoulders and signaled that it could continue.
"The strange will made me stop 'eating' at that time, and the people of the Crystal took the opportunity to tell me that the spatial bubble I built had taken a part of their plane's time and mass, but they didn't intend to hold me accountable, they just wanted to make a deal with me. β
"They told me that the world had changed drastically, that the interstellar travelers no longer existed, and that not only that, but that the natural entropy increase of the universe had stopped, and that my own existence as an entropy demon would be threatened, and that they could guarantee that I would have enough food in this era. β
"I ended up making a deal with them, they could take some of my information, and they gave me the box. β
"What's the snippet?"
Knowing that the Entropy Demon didn't know anything about the upheaval, Roger asked another question.
"I don't know what it is....... If you have to make an analogy, it's your brain?"
I'll go, so now you have no brains? Then it seems that Your Excellency is really disabled and strong, thinking about it, Roger was suddenly shocked.
It was rare to see Roger's shock from his expression, and the entropy demon urn added angrily: "The divine envoy doesn't need to be too surprised, unlike physical creatures like you, we can actually be regarded as a kind of 'wave creatures', as long as most of the 'waves' are preserved, the parts we lose can be regenerated." β
After understanding what the information fragment is, even if the entropy demon says that he can regenerate, Roger can still conclude that the entropy demon has been cheated by those profiteers, according to Abu, the technological level of this culture box can be regarded as an antique level, and just selling an object that is too heavy for waste products deceives a high-dimensional creature? But since the victim himself is unconscious, Roger does not talk much.
Then again, if it weren't for the memories of the previous life, even if it was the existence of a high-dimensional being, it would be difficult for them to understand, so what would the people of the Jing Clan do with its information fragments?
Little by little, the doubts piled up, and Roger couldn't breathe, and the fear of the unknown would one day form a big net, wrapping the creature in prison tightly, and he had to wait for the hunters to come and enjoy a good meal.
Roger came back to his senses with a shudder, and the entropy demon in front of him was nearing the end: "...... Humans thrive in the incubator, the crystal core regulates the various cultivation spaces, and the 'cleaners' are the technological redlines and faith sprouts of the mechanical dragon legion to monitor civilization, and they are also the food that can create the maximum entropy increase.
Once such signs are found, the mechanical dragon sweeps them to the space of the crystal core, where they are teleported through the cultivation tank.
"Why can't there be faith in the incubator, and what is the red line of technology?"
Unlike the name that sounds like a villain, Entropy Demon is unexpectedly easy to speak, perhaps because of Roger's identity as an oracle, in short, it explains honestly: " Intelligent beings, especially humans, are a very peculiar race, and a technological explosion may cause an unpredictable technological breakthrough in a short period of time, which may make them aware of the fact that the culture box is real, and in the same way, any belief must have a god corresponding to it, even the indigenous gods will also protect the people who believe in it, even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance that it will cause catastrophic consequences. β
"These are the precautions that the Jing people told me when they left. Entropy added.
Recalling the previous situation when Linda blew up as soon as she used the Holy Light Mechanical Dragon, Roger finally understood the reason, but he didn't expect that the religion that he had abandoned was still valuable in this regard.
"Anyway, the people of the Jing Clan recommended this kind of culture box after asking me about my request, which made it easy for me to hunt, they put the first biological 'seedling' into the culture box, and set the parameters to set it in the space bubble, so that I can harvest it every once in a while, from the slot on the front of the culture box.
Indeed, as the people of the crystal clan promised, I don't have to worry about predation anymore, and in the best of years, the hedrons containing the ingredients are piled up here, forming a bright star ring around the culture box, although I have never really preded in the sense of the word, but it does make me feel a joy called joy. β
It's like counting the nine months of the moon and being poured down from the head with ice water, Roger is cold all over his body, and the words of the entropy demon are like an old farmer boasting about the abundance of crops in the harvest season in the past year with passers-by at the head of the ridge village, and in his opinion, it is a culture tank filled with countless corpses of white flowers, and the head of the unconscious creature is bitten off with a click of the machine, and the brain with blood and water in a flash of light is transmitted out for the entropy demon to eat, leaving only blood flowers blooming in the cultivation tank, Roger really can't bear to imagine this scene.
"Then why do you have to pray to the gods to save the food of this culture box, you have been feeding on them for so long, I don't think you will have any psychological burden, the law of the jungle, right?" Roger said coldly, "Or did something happen to make you repent?"
Roger is still prickly in his words, and when he compares it to himself, do you remember how many slices of bread you ate, or would you be sorry for the wheat? Therefore, Roger does not think that the entropy demon will suddenly change his past mistakes and care about the life and death of those human beings.
"The ....... of the Jungle"
Entropy Demon repeated, eventually giving up on understanding the meaning of the word, "I don't understand what you mean, but as I said earlier, this machine is broken and has no after-sales service. β
"The people of the Crystal have deceived me, and I didn't realize it until centuries ago, and as the generations have passed, the humans in the culture box have become more primitive and stupid, and the food they can provide me has become scarcer. β
"I've tried to open up the power of the culture box, and more human brains have been sent here, but they don't fill my stomach - the will of these creatures has no mind, no independent consciousness, and even if the spiritual world is chaotic, it is worthless except to make me hungrier and hungrier. β
"Coupled with the fact that the increase in entropy in the outside world has stopped, my dissipation has become inevitable. β
"That time passed in a mess, until one day I realized that letting the human race itself create a larger scale of entropy increase, that may be another degree of survival, so I made an attempt, trying to break through the scientific and technological red line of the culture box to guide the progress of human civilization, but the final result was the failure of the crystal core, the mechanical dragon out of control, the culture box over and over again self-inspection to try to maintain the original hunt, which is contrary to my will, I reluctantly stopped most of the mechanical dragon activities, but because of the technology black box, all I can do is thisγ β
Things are finally clear......
"When you have already dissipated inevitably, do you choose another sense of population continuation....... It's really a biological instinct. β
"But these are not reasons, what are you still hiding?" Roger suddenly raised his head, his eyes blazing at the entropy demon.
Trying to bring himself into the position of the Entropy Demon, Roger vaguely realized that these were not the fundamental reasons for the Entropy Demon's actions, and that there was some inevitable reason that had been driving it, and finally made it abandon its existence and hope for another way to continue the population.
"I felt the boredom of life. Entropy Demon said with some confusion, this was the first and only time Roger had heard a clear emotion from its words.
"Although I am imprisoned in a bubble of space of my own creation, the increase in entropy of the universe is closely related to me, so I can perceive that the world is dead silent, and there is no increase or decrease in entropy here, and my existence is meaningless. β
