187 Imagination and Creation
"It's you?!"
Looking at the white witch who suddenly appeared, Su Bai was taken aback, although the other party was not wearing a mask, how could he not know that this white witch was the ghost-faced girl who was in the group with the killer before.
It's just, why did the other party mess in here?
Before he could figure out a question, Su Bai secretly scolded himself for being too careless...... But now in the battle with the remnant blade, it is really undeserved to be distracted by the information of the outside world.
So, in an instant, he returned his attention to the remnant blade broadsword on the other side.
However, the remnant blade broadsword, which was already ready to be attacked, was now attacking in the space, and instead faced the white witch and said loudly: "You will come here, does it mean that the plan has begun?" ”
You? Why the respectful tone?
Hearing this, Su Bai was stunned.
The White Shrine Maiden nodded, "Exactly, you can use your full strength. ”
"Oh, it's finally time to wait......" Blade Broadsword's voice was a little excited, but then it said as if confused, "But is the target really this person?" I didn't feel any sense in him, could I be mistaken? ”
"In your dimension, that's rightfully so."
"Yes...... "The Blade Broadsword hesitated for a moment before finally accepting it, "Since you said so, then I can't question it anymore, and there is only one question to follow...... Can I really use all my strength? Is it okay to kill him? ”
"Of course, if you don't use all your strength, it will bother me, if he is really unfortunate to be killed by you, then we can only wait another twenty years, anyway, the prologue has already begun, and it is impossible to end until the trend really begins."
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Listening to the conversation between the two, Su Bai felt inexplicable. I couldn't help but ask, "What plan?" What is the goal? What the hell is going on? ”
The white witch's gaze looked at Su Bai again, and said lightly: "You don't need to know these questions, there is only one thing you need to know now...... If you can't defeat it here, you're dead. ”
"Isn't this nonsense?" Su Bai was depressed for a while, this is something that he has known for a long time Okay, what he wants to know is not this, "This is obviously my own assessment, why did you get involved here?" Also, the plan you just talked about. Don't...... I will face such a messy assessment, is it also your arrangement? ”
"......" The white witch did not speak.
"Is there silence? Silence is the default meaning, and sure enough, I knew it. As soon as Su Bai saw this, he knew that what he expected was not bad, "Like other people's assessments, even if it is a murderous ghost real night, she doesn't need to face the examiner directly, but I, a person who is much weaker than her." Faced with this most difficult assessment, although it may be because of the relationship between the black flame in my body, but it is still too outrageous after all, but...... If all this is manipulative. Then you can be relieved. ”
"I think there's a lot I want to ask you about this and what you've done in the past, but let me put those questions aside for now. What I want to ask is...... What will this assessment look like? Su Bai looked at the white witch and said.
"I've already said that." The White Shrine Maiden replied.
"Knock it down with all its might, or be said by it. These two results? Su Bai asked rhetorically.
"Exactly."
Hearing this unsurprising answer, Su Bai suddenly sighed, "In that case, it seems that I really have only one way to die, and I can't even defeat it now, if it still has unused power, then I don't even have a little bit of strength, don't you think this is a bit difficult?" From what you just said, I don't know what your intentions are, but it seems to be ...... My easy defeat is not what you want to see, right? ”
The white witch nodded, and said truthfully: "Yes, personally, I hope you can win, after all, twenty years is not a long time, nor is it short, and there are too many variables, so you are not completely without hope of victory, as long as you can exert the true power of Black Flame." ”
"Black Flame's true power?"
Su Bai was stunned for a moment, could it be that the power of Black Flame was not just a soul thirst?
As if knowing what he was thinking, the White Witch said: "The power of Black Flame is not what you can imagine now, Soul Lust is only the most insignificant power among it, and in addition, as Black Flame's power is tapped, its various abilities will also be relatively improved. Of course, on the other hand, if you don't fully tap the power of Black Flame, the power of Soul Lust will stay at the lowest level, and I think you should know this firsthand. ”
"Ugh!"
Hearing this, Su Bai immediately remembered the Soulthirsty Weirdness and Bloody Mary who had been killed by his Black Flame.
And the White Witch also seemed to know these two things, and said: "Although Soul Lust is the most insignificant power of Black Flame, but in essence, it is still a power from the root, opponents of the level of Soul Lust Weird and Bloody Mary, theoretically speaking, they have no possibility of surviving under this power, and you have not been able to kill them completely, in the final analysis, there is only one reason...... It's that you don't have enough control over Black Flame. ”
"If you can't control the black flame freely, you won't be able to exert the true power of the black flame, and of course, its power will be greatly reduced, which should not be difficult to understand."
"So, how do I really control Black Flame?" Su Bai asked instinctively.
"This question needs to be answered by yourself, it is precisely because of this that there will be such an assessment, in the duel with the sword intent, you will try to tap the power of Black Flame, of course, if you fail, you will only have a dead end, and there will be no second chance." The White Shrine Maiden replied.
“……”
"That's right." Just when Su Bai was silent, the white witch suddenly seemed to remember something, took out a golden box out of nowhere, and threw it towards Su Bai, "You should have the key to open it in your hand, maybe the things in it will help you a little." ”
"This is?!"
"It looks like a box that has been snatched by vampires."
"Ahh Su Bai suddenly realized, was this the original culprit who was disturbed by the vampires and caused the demons in the original Hangzhou City to dance? In that case, the key to open it is ...... Sure enough, Su Bai soon discovered that there was a key jack at the base of the box.
Immediately. Su Bai took out the silver key from the Tai Chi ball and inserted it into the socket of the base.
There was a click, and the golden box suddenly opened.
But......
"Nothing?" Looking at the empty box, Su Bai couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously looked at the white witch, "There's nothing, the things inside shouldn't have been taken away, right?" ”
"Impossible." The White Shrine Maiden said calmly, "This is a chest guarded by the power of blessing, and there is nothing to open it except for the key in your hand. Even if it is a legendary-level powerhouse, at most, he can only destroy it, but he will definitely not be able to open it, let alone obtain the contents inside. ”
The power of blessing?
It's an unknown word again, and listening to her tone, it seems to be familiar with this box, and...... This silver key has been with me since I was born, and it is the only tool used to open this chest, in other words...... Is. I'm getting more and more confused.
Su Bai's mind was racing, and he only felt that the development of things had exceeded his expectations. But it doesn't seem to make sense to think about this at this moment, and the witch on the other side doesn't mean to tell him, so there's no need to worry about it for the time being.
"What's inside. You just can't see it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The White Shrine Maiden continued, "Imagine, use your imagination to recognize its existence. If you can really do it, then it will respond to you. ”
"Imagine?"
Su Bai was stunned again, this ...... Seems to be the only way for the ghosts to master their armor, right? By imagination. Do you want to make your military equipment manifest...... The contents of this box are military uniforms?
"It's true that this is very similar to the ghost clan's military uniform, but the essence is different."
"Can you know what's going on in my mind?" Su Bai was taken aback and looked up sharply.
The White Witch didn't know it, "Probably, after all, this is my world, although I can't fully understand your inner thoughts, but as long as you combine the known information, it is not difficult to guess what you are thinking." ”
What belongs to your world, I'm getting more and more confused, bastard!
Su Bai scolded secretly, but asked on his lips: "What do you mean when you just said that the essence of the military uniform is different from the thing in this?" ”
"Do you want to know?" The White Shrine Maiden asked rhetorically.
"Of course." Su Bai replied without hesitation, "Moreover, you also said that this is very similar to the ghost clan's military uniform, so if I can have a specific understanding of it, it will be much easier to understand the contents of this box." ”
"Indeed, this will help you to raise your awareness of it, so in that case, I'll start at the beginning......" The White Shrine Maiden nodded, and then asked, "First of all, do you know how the world was born?" ”
"Huh?" Su Bai was immediately stunned.
If my memory is not wrong, I should be asking about the principle of military uniforms now, why did it suddenly go to the world? This jump is too big, isn't it?
Without waiting for Su Bai to answer, the white witch explained: "Unlike ordinary weapons, military uniforms are not made of any substance, but an abstract reality, to be specific, it is to make imaginary things become reality. But having said that, not all ghost races can make imagination come true, if there is not enough creativity, imagination is fantasy, and nothing can become reality, so even if it is a powerful race like the ghost race, they don't have many armor holders, so here's the problem...... Why did the Oni create such a fantasy as a military uniform? ”
Hey, you just got into the world, why did you jump back to the ghost clan again? Please, don't make your logic so confusing, okay...... Su Bai complained secretly, but given that the person who asked the question was himself, he had to listen patiently.
"Whether it is physical fitness or spiritual strength, the ghost clan is among the top among all races, even if they don't have military uniforms, they also have enough combat power to protect themselves and fight against the enemy, it stands to reason that there is no need for military uniforms to exist, isn't it?"
Indeed, it seems that this is the truth...... Su Bai nodded slightly, take human beings as an example, the reason why human beings continue to evolve is because they need this kind of evolution to survive. And what about the ghosts? Will they disappear without uniforms? In today's world, that's absolutely impossible.
So, what is the reason why the ghost clan has mastered the system of military uniforms?
"There is only one answer, it is necessary!" The White Shrine Maiden said calmly, "Because it is not only life forms that have imagination and creativity in this world at the same time, but also the world itself, such as the strange soul-lust that you are familiar with, and the legendary demons and monsters that you don't know that are not produced by mating, where do they come from?" What are their origins? ”
"......" Su Bai shook his head.
"A Chaos Demon who represents the will of Chaos, a Misfortune Monster that brings calamity. The beasts that bring auspicious fortunes and all kinds of strange things that symbolize strange things are not born through life, are they? But why are they still in the world? Was their birth gratuitous? No, they come from the imagination. ”
"Imagine?"
"Yes, as I said earlier, it's not just living beings who have imagination, but the world itself. And just as you humans are good and bad, the imagination of this world is divided into good and evil, and what is imagined from the good side is the beasts that bring good fortune. And what is imagined from the evil side is the evil beasts that represent calamity...... Although the difference between the forces of good and evil is not very large, it is important to know that there are countless living beings in this world that are not born from imagination. And these living beings also exist in this balance. ”
Then, when the original life forms are more good than evil, the life imagined by the world is to continue to maintain this balance. will be more inclined to the evil side...... Of course, this balance is not based on your perception, but by the world itself. Therefore, if the world thinks that there is not much life in this world, then the evil life it imagines will far exceed the good life, so as to destroy the original lifeforms, so it is natural that the existence of the original life forms such as ghosts and humans will be threatened. ”
"That's why the ghosts have uniforms?" Su Bai suddenly realized that although these words had completely overturned his worldview, it was only clear on the surface of its meaning.
"Exactly." The White Shrine Maiden nodded, "It's not just the ghost race, in order to fight against these calamity beasts imagined by the world, all races will have various powerful power systems...... Of course, there are also some races that do not have enough creativity and imagination, so their demise is inevitable, after all, the survival of the fittest and the elimination of the unfit are eliminated, which is the most basic law of this world. ”
"So, to sum it up, there are only two points, first, life has its own way out, and second, imagination must rely on imagination to deal with, this is the source of the ghost clan's military uniform."
"Of course, on the other hand, the balance you know is not what the world wants to see, and the world does not need much intelligent life, so when you are strong enough to fight the beast of calamity imagined by the world, the world will use the ultimate trump card to reverse the defeat......"
"Although I still feel incredible, I probably understand a little, to put it simply, this world has its own consciousness, for the world, this planet is its home, as a conscious existence, of course, it doesn't want too many strangers living in its own home, so it keeps creating powerful imaginary creatures to destroy these strangers. And these strangers, of course, are not willing to die, so under the instinct of life, they gradually have the power to fight against the world, right? Su Bai concluded.
"Well, it's not impossible to understand it that way."
"So, what is the ultimate trump card of the world?" Su Bai stared at her and asked.
“…… You don't need to know that. After a few seconds of silence, the White Shrine Maiden said, "Now that you know how it works, imagine it to your heart's content, feel its existence through your imagination, and then recognize it, pronounce its name, and you will be able to get it." ”
From the expression of the white witch, Su Bai didn't get any of the information he wanted, so he could only give up the question and say, "Then again, doesn't it matter?" ”
"Huh?"
"You explained so much to me, and told me how to get the contents of this box, in case this thing is a very big killer, won't it affect your plans?" Su Bai asked tentatively.
The White Witch shook her head, "You don't need to worry about this kind of uselessness, I just said that my purpose is not to kill you, on the contrary, if you can win, I will be more happy to see you, so it is also my obligation to make you have enough preparation to fight, and the most important thing is ...... Although that thing is helpful to you, it is impossible to defeat the sword intent on that alone. ”
"Why?"
"When you get it, you'll know why." After saying that, the white witch closed her eyes and sat cross-legged, as if she didn't intend to speak again.
Su Bai saw that he could no longer extract information from the other party's mouth, and did not ask again, and then looked at the opposite side of the air, the remnant blade broadsword stopped motionless, and seemed to be waiting according to the will of the white witch.
So, Su Bai didn't waste any more time, and simply closed his eyes to imagine and feel the existence that he couldn't see in this golden box. (To be continued......)
