【85】Perceiving Your Existence Across Time and Space (Part I)
HUANG Lao. Honorary Elder of the British Left. One of several important figures in the Hong Kong Triad. At the same time, he was also an old man who suddenly appeared several times to help me.
At this time. Flying in the sand. The other end of the winding park trail. He showed up.
Dressed in ancient robes. Wearing monocles. Holding a compass in his hand. Silver-white hair flutters in the wind. There is a kind and gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Little friend. I can tell you everything you want to know."
He walked slowly from that side. It took a few steps to walk up to me. Smiled and leaned down slightly. Say this to me.
"Tell me everything I want to know."
My somewhat dim red eyes lifted. Glancing at Huang Lao.
I looked into the distance, and a golden light bloomed in the storm. Alice, who looks very weird. I can't wait to get some news from Huang Lao.
"Old gentleman. Do you know what happened to Alice and Elsa?"
I asked him so. One hand on the ground. He struggled to cover a bowl-sized wound and stood up.
The devastation inflicted on my body by the Execution Witch Squad. The state of the second personality is repairing quickly so that it heals.
But I don't care about that pain right now. What I really care about is Alice.
"Alice is in the witch now, I shouldn't say that I am in the state of the demon king. She's strong in this state. But the side effect is that you will keep having nightmares. Now she's in a state of [nightmare], too."
Huang Lao looked at Alice and said.
"So Elsa"
I looked at Alice's sisters shivering on the ground. He glanced at Huang Lao with some confusion.
"In the witch state. The six Execution Witches share the same spiritual consciousness as the Demon King Alice. They also saw some nightmares like Alice. But their psychological capacity is much lower than Alice's. Therefore, he directly lost his combat effectiveness and even suffered a certain amount of mental trauma."
Huang Lao looked at Elsa and the others and said.
That's right
No wonder I'm fine. And Elsa and they saw nightmares one after another. Is it really the reason for this witch's state? Probably the Italians did it.
so
"Old gentleman. What the hell is going on with this witch state of Alice and her seven sisters. I want to learn more about their past. And something about Italy."
I covered my wounds. With a somewhat bad face, he said to Huang Lao with such a smile.
"Little friend. Ji Yuexia allowed you to know?"
Huang Lao asked me rhetorically. I guess I don't think it's easy to tell me about this.
"Hmm. Allow me to see."
I said so. My father was going to tell me that day. Just wanted me to think more about it myself. Now I remember all the memories I have about Alice. There are still some difficult points to understand. I hope to get an answer through Huang Lao.
"Oh. That's good. I'll tell you about it now."
Huang Lao smiled slightly. He looked at me like this and said.
I nodded
"My friend. Mr. and Mrs. Charlotte, who are also Alice's parents. Killed eight years ago by the British right and the Italian mafia. That's when it all started."
Huang Lao said to me. There was a slight sigh of silence.
"Alice's sisters. Elsa and six others were sent to the research institute of the British right to reform and train. Awakening them to the Witch state works similarly to your second personality. It is to inject a potential pathogenic agent into their body. Under critical conditions, this factor will cause them to burst into awakening. Beyond the potential. And the British right first implanted this factor in them at that time. And keep giving them some cruel training. to train them into a new generation of execution witches."
Huang Lao continued to say this. I looked at Elsa and the others who were trembling on the ground in fear at this time. It is possible to imagine that they biochemically modified this group of little girls. And forced them to kill people.
"As for Alice. Although we hijacked the car that took her to the institute in time. But it's too late. We feel the times. She has been implanted with the Nightmare Witch. It can also be called the Elixir of the Demon King of Time and Space."
Huang Lao's eyes seemed to be flowing with ancient water, and he looked at me calmly and said. My attention was also focused. Because I know he's got to the point.
Focus on Alice's abilities and why it has become such now.
"Alice's abilities are simple to say. That is, the ability to perceive and reason about the outside world is hundreds of times that of ordinary people. Thousands of times. It has even reached a level that is beyond the reach of biological species. We call this absolute perceptual reasoning."
Huang Lao said this to me.
Absolute Perceptual Reasoning. Alice's abilities are this. What is this.
"Each of us perceives the outside world. That is, to get information from the outside world. It can be done by hearing. Vision. Taste. sense of smell, etc. And through the perception of one thing. You can reason about other things. For example, if a group of children come out of a school, you can deduce that the school is an elementary school. The next ones to come out will be children, and the Nightmare Witch Alice's perception of the outside world is unimaginable to ordinary people. I'm sure you've heard of the butterfly effect."
Huang Lao changed his words. So asked me.
"Hmm."
I answered.
Butterfly effect. Of course I've heard of it.
This effect refers to something that would otherwise be a small thing. Cause and effect are superimposed through interactions with surrounding events. It ended up being a big deal. Let's say a butterfly in the Pacific Ocean flapping its wings gently. There will be a typhoon in the United States.
"The world is made up of the cause and effect of the interaction of events. It's like a spider's web. It's not too much to understand. Alice's ability is to observe the movement of the web around her. Then deduce in detail the situation of the farther and farther net changes."
Huang Lao said so. I was stunned. It seems to be open-minded and cheerful. Have your own guess.
"That is, Alice's nightmare. Not really a nightmare. Just perceive the death of a person far away."
I stroked my chin slightly with my fingers. That's what Huang Lao asked.
"Yes. The kid guessed right. That's how Alice's abilities were in the beginning. It can only erupt at this time of her sleep. And can only deduce the information of a few children of similar size to themselves in nearby towns. He is extremely sensitive to things that have a large causal variability such as death. And with the passage of time. Geographically. Gradually, she was able to observe the whole city of London. Message from England. Messages from Europe and the world. The observation limit is also becoming more and more extensive. The people who can observe it are getting more and more comprehensive. Although most of the information is limited to death, which is highly variable in cause and effect. But it's also going in a different direction. Even now. She can predict the short-term [future] gradually, based on cause and effect. Gradually. She will become the real Demon Lord of Time and Space. You can also control the compass that can only be controlled by the [Time and Space Demon King] in British legends"
Huang Lao said to me. I couldn't help but be stunned.
Is it possible to even predict the future? But it's not too much. If the cause and effect around her are in her hands. If you have the ability to reason absolutely. It is not too much to deduce all the possibilities of the future and judge them.
Really. This is Alice. Visualizing space-time. The Demon King of England who controls the compass.
"Whew"
I exhaled.
About Alice's abilities. I kind of get it all. But there are still some doubts.
"That Huang Lao. Why is Alice the way she is?"
I asked Huang Lao with some seriousness. Oh, yes. Alice is now unable to show her feelings. It's definitely strange that it's hard to even have feelings. The Alice who cried a lot and laughed a lot. I can only live in my memory.
What the hell is the reason?
I looked at Huang Lao. Waiting for his answer.
