Chapter 145: Becoming an Immortal?
The light outside the gentleman's residence was projected into the room through the spacious floor-to-ceiling windows, and fell directly on the pill in Zhu Jue's hand.
The pill pill, which had previously seemed to be tan on the surface, now took on a mysterious light purple color, and in a trance, it seemed to be overflowing with a mist the size of a fist.
Lisanna hugged the folder and stared at the magical scene in front of her with wide eyes.
"Stretch your legs and stare at the eye pills, try one?"
Zhu Jue put his legs on the low table as a springboard for wind chimes, and suddenly turned sideways to look at Lishana and asked.
After downloading the materials from the Archaeological Society, he left.
After nine o'clock, Olivia's subordinates entered the office one after another, and it was naturally difficult for him, as an advisor, to continue to occupy other people's positions.
Before leaving, she told Olivia that she had moved to Greene City, and the latter didn't ask why in front of her group, but said that she would visit when she had time.
"You're laughing, this elixir isn't an ordinary item at first glance...... Unlike the things you would find in a dreamscape, they prefer to make potions rather than pills. ”
The boss had the leisure to laugh, proving that he was in a good mood, and Lisanna's originally tense body immediately loosened up, and a smile appeared on her face.
Last night, she drank the bottles of potion she had selected, and the effect was very significant, to some extent, even catching up with her growth progress in the past nearly half a year, and this also made her really feel Zhu Jue's generosity, and then became more and more loyal.
After all, compared to the gentleman who often wears a cold mask, the person in front of him has at least a little more human touch.
It's really an important thing.
"What time did you make an appointment with that person?"
Looking at the increasingly gloomy sky outside, Zhu Jue moved to the inside of the house, raised his eyes and asked.
"It was 10 a.m., you were at the Archaeological Society, and I thought you might have something to do, so I moved the meeting to the evening...... I can get him to contact you now if you need it. ”
At first, Lishana thought that Zhu Jue would go directly to the gentleman's temporary residence here, but no one came after waiting for an hour, and only after asking did she know Zhu Jue's whereabouts.
"Don't worry, since we have made an appointment, let's do it as scheduled, and temporarily advance will only let others know that we care about this news very much, maybe the other party will increase the chips, what about the Dream Brigade, when will we meet them?"
The information about the killing game was not yet very urgent, and Zhu Jue didn't want to ask those rich people to take over the identity of the gentleman, a hermit.
"The Dream Brigade rejected our offer to communicate in person. ”
Lishana pursed her lips and said with some hesitation.
"Huh?"
Turn sideways and tone up.
This was an unexpected piece of information, and Zhu Jue clearly remembered that some time ago, the Dream Brigade was still begging the gentleman to form an alliance with them.
Do they want to take advantage of their quarrel with the Dream Eaters to raise their own value to take the initiative?
"You misunderstood, they agreed to cooperate, but they can't send the main people in the brigade to talk in the near future, so they can only send a few ordinary members to send the potion, which can be regarded as early sincerity. ”
"It seems that we are not the only ones who are busy...... Speaking of which, what are the people of the Dream Brigade busy in the dream realm all day long, pursuing soul liberation?"
Zhu Jue had heard the gentleman talk about the purpose of the Dream Eater in the Dream Realm, serving the evil gods, hunting other Dreamers and searching for some strange items, but the Dream Brigade had not heard him talk about it.
After all, he called himself a traveler at that time, and in order to prevent Zhu Jue and the others from taking the initiative to contact the Dream Brigade, he naturally had to avoid mentioning this matter.
"They also seem to have their own main goals, and in the past when dealing with them, I would occasionally hear them mention things like finding a holy place in those scattered conversations. ”
"Holy Land?"
A group of real-world humans were looking for a holy place in a dream, and Zhu Jue's first reaction was unreliable.
"I don't know what it is, but they talk about it a lot. ”
Lishana couldn't say anything about this, the Dream Brigade was a rather xenophobic organization, and its own secrecy made them always extremely restrained when facing outsiders.
"Now I know that the guy in the killing game is going to meet at night, and the Dream Brigade doesn't mean to talk face-to-face...... In this case, I have to continue to study this elixir, and I may try one later, there may be accidents in the process, you help me guard outside, you can help me deal with anything, including the potion sent by the Dream Brigade, if I don't call you, then don't come in no matter what happens in the house, understand?"
Looking at the time, there was still a long time to spare, and Zhu Jue didn't plan to spend it in a daze, showing the information in the mobile phone in front of him in the form of a holographic projection, and said without turning his head.
"I understand. ”
Lishana bowed in salute and took a few steps back before turning to leave, her back to Zhu Jue and her lips pursed.
Taking out the elixir of unknown origin in front of her just now, and letting her be the only guardian, this is undoubtedly a sign of trust, otherwise she would not have said it so bluntly.
This touched Lishana a little, and secretly decided to be worthy of this trust.
Of course, that's just her opinion.
Behind her, Zhu Jue touched the back of the wind chime and whispered: "If I decide to take the medicine later, if I fall into a coma, no matter who breaks in through this door, subdue the other party, if the other party resists, kill!"
Oh~
The wind chime raised her head and whispered, and jumped to Lishana's place before.
Saying those words to Lishana is indeed Zhu Jue expressing his trust to her, but it does not mean that Zhu Jue is ready to use his safety to do experiments.
You know, even he only knows part of the effect of this medicine.
Looking at all the content that is known so far, including consulting the database of the Heterogeneous Bureau and asking Suzi who is more familiar with the "Xuanjun Seven Chapters Secret Sutra", what Zhu Jue can conclude is that the effect of this elixir is not that the Heavenly Maiden leads or the Heavenly Dog eats the body, but that it may help people travel through time and space!
Just as the great race did!
Why can a "elixir" do such a thing that sounds a little unbelievable?
In fact, a closer look will reveal that some of the contents of various myths and legends in ancient times have been hinted at.
What are the distinguishing characteristics of immortality?
It is nothing more than the ascension of one's own will, to some magical place.
However, for the ancients, the place that was reached across time and space was undoubtedly magical!
As for what lives with heaven and earth, it transcends time and space, and in a sense, there is no shackle of this concept, and the time span of tens of millions of years is infinitely close to immortality.
It's just that this conjecture is just "maybe", which is uncertain, but at the moment, the content that Zhu Jue has gathered through various channels can bring him so much information.
This made him want to know the true effect of this elixir, and there was only one way left.
Try the medicine for yourself.
It's a mule or a horse, and you will know if you pull it out for a walk.
To be reasonable, Zhu Jue is now holding a total of three pills in his hand, and he does have the capital to try, the key is whether these three pills that have been stored underground for so long can still be eaten, or whether there will be side effects after eating.
The thumb and forefinger twist the elixir, and the Adam's apple rolls up and down.
What if we could make consciousness transcend time and space in a short period of time?
Let Zhu Jue choose, he wants to find a great race or an ancient one, and find a way to make himself more powerful.
Can you control the direction of time and space?
What if you accidentally travel to Dawn City yesterday, wouldn't there be a paradox?
The pill was brought to his mouth several times and put it back down.
To eat or not to eat.
This is a problem.
The things that had been planned for a long time made Zhu Jue hesitate as he thought more and more.
Long.
Zhu Jue raised his hand and brushed the water cup in front of him, and a water coin instantly condensed.
The front side is to eat, and the back side is not to eat.
Zhu Jue's eyes followed the movement of the flipped translucent water coin, grinned at the corners of his mouth, and threw the pill in his hand directly before it fell, opened his mouth, and put the water coin in his mouth.
The elixir was reloaded into the box and the space ring was retracted......
The purpose of tossing a coin is never to decide something through it, but to see the decision in one's heart through it.
"Tsk, wind chimes, don't guard it, I'm really ready to listen to my heart's choice. ”
As if he had suddenly lost his mind, he rolled down on the sofa, hugged the wind chime in his arms, and Zhu Jue whispered.
At the moment when the water coin was tossed, he suddenly realized a problem, that is, if the pill worked, he really crossed time and space.
Under this premise, take 10,000 steps back and judge that you have not suffered any accidents and have succeeded in meeting the Great Race or the Ancient.
And then what?
How do you communicate with them, and how do you acquire their knowledge or treasures?
What guarantee did he make that he would not be imprisoned by them as an intruder or a taxidermy in the first place of their meeting?
At the beginning, in the Greenland Ice Field, I didn't see the traces left by those ancient people who woke up and sliced the researchers as materials, and Zhu Jue also remembered the scene of the great race killing dozens of people in the desert without even blinking an eyelid.
You can't just go back in time, and you have to fight with those guys first.
Win or not win is another matter, if this happens, the Ancient Crystal will definitely not have to think about it.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue immediately clearly realized that the risk was a bit too high, and it was okay to take risks, but an attempt like this to be completely out of control was undoubtedly a joke with his own life.
Therefore, Zhu Jue finally restrained himself and set a small goal for himself:
Either find more information, or simply find another great race or an ancient one and talk to them first!
