Chapter 53: The Return of Conversation

"Mr. J of Spades, what do you need to talk to?"

Sherlock was relieved to hear this.

As long as you can talk, and it's the kind of conversation that doesn't have to be face-to-face, then there's room for discussion.

After all, in this world, you don't know me, I don't know you, and there are far more unreal than real.

Sherlock believes that the secrets he holds in his hands can definitely set off himself as mysterious and unpredictable, which is his absolute advantage in accessing this underworld.

He thought for a moment, stared at the cards in his hand, and said:

"I woke up from my slumber and entered the underworld, where much knowledge was forced to forget. If I can find some answers from you, then I will give you some necessary reward in exchange for the same price. ”

Grindelwald, on the other side of the cards, fell into a brief contemplation.

After a while, his voice came again:

"A prophet, a lost man who has awakened from a deep sleep. This is not something that has happened in the history of the underworld. I'd like to believe you, but what do you mean by pay? ”

Sherlock said indifferently: "For example, some decryption of the '824 password'. ”

Grindelwald's breathing was suddenly a little short, and he could even feel it from the cards. He was silent again for a moment, and immediately said:

"Allow me to do a little test. I hope you haven't forgotten this word in your consciousness when you wake up. ”

As the voice was spoken, the cards were scribbled with illusory handwriting, and two standard Chinese characters gradually emerged: "神" and "Say".

Sherlock did not hesitate in the slightest, and even pronounced it in the more standard English lingua franca. Celtic pronunciation, ancient tomb inscription rune pronunciation, read these two Chinese words again:

"One represents 'gods' or 'myths' and the other 'speaks' or 'tells'. Of course, if you combine a password, it will have another meaning. ”

"The secret of the 824 cipher is that there are many meanings that are separate, and many meanings that are continuous. It's not static, and there are many possibilities. ”

Grindelwald, on the other side of the card, let out a sincere admiration, and said in a respectful tone:

"Thank you very much for your advice, Prophet. I am now convinced that you are a true sage who has awakened from a deep sleep! This statement of yours, and the identity of the prophet, is proof enough! Please forgive me for taking the plunge and express my deepest apologies! ”

Sherlock smiled slightly and said:

"So, now it's my turn to ask questions?"

"Yes, Honorable Prophet, you may ask four questions in return for decryption. Of course, to the best of my ability, I do not know everything, please understand. ”

Grindelwald replied slowly, then waited.

Sherlock nodded, turning to the cards and asked:

"First question, what does the prophet represent?"

Grindelwald didn't seem surprised to ask, and without the slightest hesitation in his tone, replied:

"All the transcendents who have the abilities of divination, prophecy, reasoning, etc., as well as those who have high-level qualities, will transform their pupils into blue after coming to the underworld."

"This is the rule of the underworld, and the reason for this is unknown."

"Since the existence of the underworld, the pupils of the eyes have been transformed into blue, and they are called 'prophets'. This represents an authority in terms of knowledge and knowledge, and it also represents a lost person who can be trusted, and an object worth courting. ”

Sherlock thoughtfully understood, and then continued to ask:

"So, apart from the blue pupil 'prophet', are there any other colors of pupils? And what does it represent? ”

Grindelwald seemed more familiar with the question, replying:

"In addition to the blue-eyed 'prophet', there are only two other colors - the all-black-eyed 'evil spirit', and the all-red-eyed 'out-of-control transcendental'."

"In the underworld, there are no mortals. The only ones who can enter are transcendents with background power and can obtain permission to pass through special passages. ”

"That's why in a city, there are so few people. Because what you and I see is extraordinary. ”

"The blue eye is the 'prophet'. The red pupil is the transcendent on the verge of madness out of control. The all-black deep pupil is the most dangerous existence in the underworld, a powerful and sane 'evil spirit'. ”

When Sherlock heard this answer, he couldn't help but think of the lady with heavy makeup wearing a wizard's pointed hat he had seen in line before. It seems that she is already in a crazy runaway, so her pupils turn all red.

"The third question, all transcendental, what is the purpose of coming to the underworld?"

This is the question that Sherlock needs to know the most, and he needs to get to the bottom of it.

At this moment, Grindelwald hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"I can't say that I know all the transcendent purposes, because each has its own needs. And because of the existence of natural camouflage, we can't know whether the transcendent in front of us is the 9th or 1st order. ”

"High-level, low-level, crazy out-of-control, and evil spirits are all confused in this world, so it is impossible to know what they are asking for."

"However, the vast majority of transcendentals, that is, the lost people of this world, pursue only one goal: to climb the transcendent ladder 'wantonly, unrestrained, and fearlessly'!"

"Because, in the underworld, all power can be displayed to the fullest. Even if you destroy a city, a mountain and a river, it will recover after a short time. ”

"It's not the real world after all! Here, supernatural powers are not constrained. Every transcendent can use transcendent power without any worries. Everyone's 'instinctive hourglass' can get a crazy increase far beyond reality! ”

"Even, you can devour the 'instinct weight' without any scruples, collect prayer materials without any worries, and carry out 'leaps and bounds' promotions without being restricted!"

"So, it's a world of good luck and bad luck. Every lost person wanders on the brink of survival or destruction. Who knows, what will happen next? ”

"Is it madness that gets out of control and ends up perishing? Or is it a smooth promotion and an incomparable insight? And thus back to reality, to get an incredible reinforcement? ”

Grindelwald's voice stopped, and although the meaning was still unfinished, what could be expressed had been expressed.

Sherlock also suddenly realized.

The underworld is a "leveling holy place" where you don't have to care about the consequences!

A world that replicates the real but is not real, the transcendent can carry out all kinds of promotions with impunity. Whether it's devouring instinctual weights or gathering materials to pray, you can try it wantonly and fearlessly.

But then Sherlock had another question:

What counts as a promotion? Any tips? What is the process? How to practice this so-called leveling? How do you know you're improving?

But Sherlock wasn't going to ask.

Because if you don't even understand this kind of question, then you are a rookie, and the excuse of sleeping will become too stupid, and it will be directly debunked......

Fortunately, Sherlock was keen to hear a new word: "instinct hourglass".

Obviously, this "instinctive hourglass" should represent an indicator of promotion.

"Well, take your time to understand the knowledge of the instinctual hourglass, don't rush...... There's a chance......" Sherlock nodded silently.

"The fourth question, what can be gained here? What to lose? ”

Again, this is a broad question.

Grindelwald looked a little helpless, but after a moment of silence, he replied:

"The history of the existence of the underworld is very, very long, and even after the creation of the star, it can be said that it has existed."

"Because of the long years, not being disturbed, many unimaginable things were born in the underworld! Anything that is extinct in the outside world can be found in the underworld.

And this is one of the reasons why the first rank, which is closest to the gods, is willing to deign to come in. ”

"There is gain, there is loss. All transcendents who have been harmed in this world will be transformed into damage to their lives and souls. If the damage is too severe, the real body will fall into great harm, and even lead to death. ”

"Of course, even if you don't get hurt, there will be damage. Because the underworld is the evolution of the consciousness of the Creator, wandering in the underworld for a long time, you will be violently destroyed by the incredible, unimaginable, and indescribable! ”

"A long period of being lost will lead to permanent loss, which will lead to madness out of control and a return to sanity. This consequence is the root cause of a large number of 'evil spirits'. ”

After listening to these explanations, Sherlock finally understood.

Although it is a "leveling holy place", it is also a suicide holy place......

If you are hurt, it will affect reality......

If you stay for a long time, you will go crazy to death......

Sure enough, happiness gives birth to sorrow, there are good and bad, prosperity and decline......

Just as Sherlock was silently reminiscing about the knowledge he had gained, Grindelwald's courteous voice came from the card in his hand:

"Honorable Prophet, I believe that your four questions have been satisfactorily rewarded. And you should be able to see what I'm good at in terms of knowledge. ”

"In the underworld, knowledge, experience, and strength are the most indestructible forces. Regardless of the goal, the lost person seeks the most correct direction. ”

"I sincerely advise you, and at the same time take the liberty of inviting you—"

"Would you like to join House of Cards in the City of London?"
