Chapter 17: The Search for the Truth (I)
Most of the contents of the experiment report were recorded in some way by Athena II, and Zhou Yuan was looking up the information one by one.
The truth of the world is hidden in these reports.
"September 27th. According to experiments, the real reason why the Philosopher's Stone can hinder changes in the world is soul refining; As long as it does not escape after death, and is somehow converted into matter, soul, will, faith, and the like—and there are more positive personalities—the destruction of the world can be delayed. It is speculated that this may be related to the negative effects of this evil on the region, but it has not been confirmed through experimentation. ”
"It turns out that wherever I go, the projection exploded is such a ghost reason......"
Zhou Yuan sighed, if the evil of this world in his body is released, it can directly detonate all the projection spaces in the entire world - then the world will be almost destroyed at that time, but the matter with positive emotions can reverse inhibit the generation of projection, this is the first time I have heard of it.
If you think about it this way, the poor quality of the Philosopher's Stone is not a matter of the number of souls...... Positive emotions, especially a single positive emotion, as a human pillar itself, will drag down the quality of the Philosopher's Stone, which has nothing to do with quantity.
In other words, maybe the clown got incomplete information about the exodus of Rentaro Okabe? Then the clown, who got the incomplete information, began to think that the Philosopher's Stone could resist changes in the world, and began to make the Philosopher's Stone......
Those clones are inferior even their souls, where do they get positive emotions in their hearts...... In other words, both the clown and Zhou Yuan have gone into a misunderstanding, even if they are refined into the Philosopher's Stone, they cannot directly inhibit the changes in the world, and they must be refined from the kind of Philosopher's Stone that really wants to save the world and sacrifice with positive ideals in order to suppress the destruction of the world.
It's just suppression, though. According to the experimental report, both positive and negative emotions can only inhibit or accelerate the change of the world - a bit like a catalyst, which can change the speed of the process, but cannot completely stop the reaction.
It's easy to verify this......
Zhou Yuan took out the Sage Stone that hung from the wall of the test tube, and then dipped it slightly with a toothpick and stabbed it on the back of his right hand.
This little thing may be bought in exchange for a person's life......
A violent explosion suddenly rang out. The surrounding zombies seemed to hear something and gathered towards the center, only to be intercepted by Artoria outside.
"Shhh...... This power ...... This TM is a nuclear bomb, right? ”
Zhou Yuan covered one hand, and the water element was flowing above Zhou Yuan's hand, and then transformed into new bones and blood vessels - Zhou Yuan was blown off one of his hands alive by this blow!
At first, Zhou Yuan thought it was just a reaction similar to concentrated sulfuric acid...... In that case, the back of the hand will be repaired immediately, but now it seems that this hand will have to wait for two or three days to be repaired......
A reddish Kazan glow flowed from above the wound, and then new fingers were formed, which were temporarily used when the hand did not recover; Immediately after, Kazan's gloating voice came.
"Tell you to try blindly? Won't you get a little bit of the epidermis off to react, and you'll suffer as a result, right? ”
"I didn't know it would explode! Would you stop drinking water for such a reason? ”
But it's really ...... When Zhou Yuan smeared the Sage's Stone, he defended it with all his might, but he still had a hand blown off - Zhou Yuan's hand was the main concentration of evil in this world after all, and if the defense of this hand was taken out alone, even Excalibur's frontal hit could only scrape off a layer of skin after it was fully opened.
Although it is useless, the hands are not the point, the neck and heart are.
But the power itself is really beyond Zhouyuan's imagination. If you make the remaining Philosopher's Stone and one of Zhou Yuan's own fingers into something like a grenade......
If you count the power, it's hard to pay it back
It is several times more than the few large-yield nuclear bombs in his hands. And unlike a nuclear bomb, the explosive power of this thing is limited to a very small range......
The power is preliminarily estimated that it can definitely kill Chloe directly, and it is even possible to take the "witch" herself away directly......
Zhou Yuan suddenly shuddered. There was something wrong with my thoughts...... It seems that it is too dependent on weapons or too violent, and unconsciously thinks about how to kill the witch......
Why do you want to kill the witch, your real purpose is to save the world, even if you can't do it, if the witch really does it, you can accept it...... Right?
That's how it should have been—but now there's an accident. Fortunately, this time it was discovered early......
"It's not because you found it early, it's just that 'anger' has already appeared, so the temptation is not so strong this time. With your self-control, it's naturally easy to control...... Cut, it's a shame that I had a chance to control your body. ”
Well...... Well, thank you for the friendly explanation of the remote island ghosts, so that Zhou Yuan can figure out what is going on. Even if it is already closed in the mental image world, the so-called seven deadly sins, that is, the basic form of evil in this world, can still appear without completely blocking the seven rifts, even if the corresponding rifts have been dealt with.
It's just that when it reappears, Zhou Yuan has the ability to fight against this emotion on his own.
Then again...... The zombie projection is a gradual process rather than a sudden global occurrence, so why haven't there been any national-level shelter bases, and the survivors are living outside in groups of dozens or dozens of people?
It's not right to say that it wasn't built...... Air raid shelters, or underground nuclear shelters, can be temporarily converted into shelter bases, or they can be settled without even modification; After a few zombie projections, humans will definitely pay attention to this.
I hadn't thought of it before, but I only thought of this now, maybe there are some secrets in it that Zhou Yuan doesn't know.
In a word...... The clues were all broken, and Zhou Yuan had to join Luo and them.
Because Zhou Yuan was pretending to be a warrior with a broken arm outside, they didn't find out about the hand that was blown off before. However, according to Law, he found the "Gate of the Stone of Destiny".
This is what Zhou Yuan only knew when he put the phrase "everything is the choice of the Gate of the Destiny Stone" on his lips before.
But Luo said he found the Gate of the Destiny Stone? Obviously, this is just a symbolic meaning...... Luo, tell me, how did you find the entity?
