Chapter 818: The Mystery of Death (Part II)
It has been said that there is nothing scarier than meeting a madman with a brilliant mind and clear logical thinking.
If there is, it's two at the same time.
Obviously, the phantom standing in the spirit world is in similar trouble, and these two madmen are definitely capable of destroying the entire space, destroying themselves that have existed for thousands of years.
As the saying goes, life without intelligence is not afraid of death, even death itself.
The end of all things means nothingness, it means the denial of all possibility and existence, and it also means the eternal and unchanging silence.
Anything with independent thought and wisdom will instinctively resist such an outcome.
After being silent for a long time, the phantom, which represented the entire space of consciousness, finally reluctantly compromised, and said in a slightly ethereal voice: "I was born in ancient Egypt, and it was Anubis, the god of death, who created me. At first, he only grasped it as a simple notebook of the dead list, but as the names of the records became more and more complex, I was given a new ability, which was to guide mortal souls to the realm of the dead. And it was this ability that gave me a glimpse into the true mystery of death, which never belonged to any god and was not controlled by God, who only gained a part of its authority. ”
"You are the Book of the Dead?!" Zhang Cheng's master's eyes lit up instantly.
As a member of the Supreme Council of North America, he has long known through books and notes that there are many powerful magic items and artifacts hidden in this world, and the Book of the Dead is one of the most legendary items.
Legend has it that Anubis, the god of death in ancient Egypt, wrote it by hand and gave it to the high priest for safekeeping to protect the tomb of the deceased, especially the direct descendant of the sun god, the pharaoh.
But I never expected that the real "Book of the Dead" was not hidden in some corner of Egypt as people imagined.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand Faust's peak necromantic magic attainment.
"The Book of the Dead? No, that's not my real name. My real name is The Book of Souls, and death is nothing more than a secret that I have discovered through observation after awakening my independent consciousness. Well, do you want to see the ultimate death with your own eyes?" asked the Phantom maliciously.
"Why not?" the sub-personality raised his chin slightly, showing his strong side unscrupulously.
"As you wish!" the phantom stroked his chest with one hand, slightly owing.
Next Second......
The whole bare grove is starting to change!
All of a sudden, these things, which were already filled with a strong aura of death and decay, were all turning into nothingness at an extremely fast speed.
In just a few minutes or so, there was nothing left in the entire consciousness space, only a darkness that could not be seen.
No sound!
There is no light!
No air!
There is no pulse and no heartbeat!
Even whether it exists or not has to be marked with a big question mark!
In this environment, the mind and consciousness begin to become thin and blurred, as if everything has lost its value all of a sudden.
Time seems to have come to an eternity of standstill.
Obviously, this is the legendary true death, the end of the withering of all things.
I don't know how long it was, maybe a few minutes, maybe a few hours, maybe years, decades, centuries......
When the first pale light illuminates the darkness, the phantom immediately asks eagerly, "How do you feel? Do you feel the grandeur and vastness of the rules of death? Yes! No matter how hard you and I struggle, we will eventually enter eternal death, and no one can escape it." ”
"So what? What are you trying to express, or what are you expecting?" asked Zhang Cheng's master with a smirk.
"You're not crazy?" said a hint of surprise in the phantom's tone.
"Crazy, why are we crazy?" said a sarcastic smile on the sub-personality's face. "What you call eternal death is nothing more than a conclusion drawn from a narrow point of view. In fact, life and death are inseparably separated twins, and where there is death, there must be new life. It is not terrible for a world to die, because new worlds will be born. ”
"It seems that this guy has used this trick to drive people crazy. Zhang Cheng's master personality exposed the dark tricks in the other party's heart face to face.
Obviously, for most normal people, this experience of facing the ultimate death will definitely have a great impact on the three views, so it is not surprising that they will go to psychopathy and schizophrenia.
"Are you going to kill it?" the deputy, licking his lips, his eyes bursting with a strong desire to destroy.
The main personality hesitated for a moment, and immediately shook his head: "No, there is no need for this. It also has a useful value, at least it can help us understand death more deeply and learn to control this ubiquitous power. But now, we've been here for too long, it's time to leave. ”
The words just fell!
The two completely independent consciousnesses exchanged a glance with each other, and immediately released the shock wave of their psychic abilities to the maximum extent, and forcibly tore a hole in the closed consciousness space.
"No!!!!!!! bastards! how dare you!" the Phantom cursed like crazy, and then used all his strength to barely close the torn opening.
After all, for it, this enclosed space is equivalent to the body, and once it is seriously damaged, it is immediately in danger of death.
But it's a pity that Zhang Cheng can't hear these curses anymore.
When he returned to his body, he immediately let the sub-personality temporarily return to a state of rest, and raised his head to look at Laverne, who was sitting opposite the sofa: "When did you come?"
"It's been less than three minutes!, are you alright?" said the old man tentatively in a tone of uncertainty that was not very sure.
"It's okay! I'm fine!" Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders with a pretended ease as he glanced at the table clock in the living room out of the corner of his eye.
Less than ten minutes have passed since I touched the paper, and it doesn't seem to be as long as I thought.
"Nice? I don't think anyone who touches this book will feel good. That Faustus guy has been going too far lately to take out such a dangerous thing as a gift. Lavern rolled her eyes in annoyance.
He didn't have to ask to know that he knew exactly what the Book of Souls was and how terrible it was.
"Don't worry, although it caused a little trouble and distress, the overall benefits are still many. By the way, you came all the way to see if I was driven crazy by this book, right?"
