Chapter 119: On the Importance of Knowledge
In the next week, with the joint efforts of the group of mercenary believers who had converted to Sui Yu, the child's disappearance was officially over, and at the same time, with the joint certification of the mercenaries, the local mercenary union also issued a mission completion certificate for Sui Yu and his mercenary group, and only Sui Yu needed to return to the mercenary union in Blythe Town with the certificate to register, and the task was completely completed.
The slightly more troublesome thing is that many children were sold for a copper coin for a low price after being turned into dolls, and it took a lot of time to find these children.
Fortunately, in order to prevent someone from buying low and selling high, Alice not only restricted everyone to buy only one doll, but also refused to follow the caravan that came to the door to seek cooperation, so that the range of the children who were sold was not very wide, only in a circle that was not too far from the center of the puppet town, only encompassing a few small towns and more than a dozen villages, plus those children were restored to their original state at the moment of Alice's death, and those buyers were also trying to find relatives for the suddenly extra children in the family.
Therefore, the mercenaries' search work is basically very easy, and even if they occasionally encounter those unnamed buyers, the mercenaries will be very patient (irritable) to argue (speak with their fists), and then let the buyers willingly (and completely forced) hand over the child.
Seeing the schematic diagram of that range, Sui Yu understood the fundamental reason why he was able to find the door by positioning the center point.
The affection is because Alice wants to gather more children to her side, and she needs to first put the puppet attached to her mind next to the target, and then temporarily connect the victim's mind to the holy place in her sleep, so that the child has the urge to come over and want to become a puppet through the attraction of the holy place, and finally use Alice's power to link the victim's will so that the victim can become a human and fly all the way over by accident (I have to admit that the will power of this world is really almost omnipotent.) Even if it is a child's willpower, as long as it is firm enough to a certain extent, it can twist the rules and turn humans into puppets under Alice's guidance).
At the same time, Alice also admitted to Sui Yu that she originally wanted to take revenge on humanity by letting her children disappear and cause parents to worry, but later she changed her original intention and changed to hope that more friends would gather to make her holy place more lively, and at the same time let her have more friends - this is a little girl who is extremely afraid of loneliness and longs for more love!
Merely. Alice, afraid of being alone, called a large group of friends, and now wants to send everyone home, but it is difficult for the group of mercenaries who volunteered to stay with the goddess as much as possible.
Although there is a household registration system in this world, it is very rudimentary, because there are always displaced people or natural and man-made disasters that cause large population changes, so that even if the household registration officer breaks his leg, he cannot collect accurate and detailed data, so it becomes quite difficult for mercenaries to send the children home accurately (and at the same time, the group of children is also very reluctant to leave Alice, even if some children know where they live, they deliberately do not say).
In the end, the mercenaries could only go to the area where the children disappeared to publicize that the missing children had been found in the puppet town, and then let the parents of the missing children take the initiative to claim them.
And this also happened to save Charlotte from going door-to-door to negotiate compensation.
Wait until all the parents of the missing children are there. At this time, Charlotte basically sold all the family property, and then exchanged it for money and various materials, and then called a meeting of all the parents to discuss the compensation plan.
Due to the mercenaries' strong cooperation with Sui Yu's propaganda work, although the culprit is still defined as Alice, under Sui Yu's intentional guidance, the Holy Light version of Alice has become a savior-like figure.
It was she who protected the souls of the children who had been turned into dolls while her evil resentment took control of Alice's body, allowing them to live a carefree life in a spiritual illusion without fear of being harmed.
It was she who desperately saved the lives of all the mercenaries after the mercenaries investigated the child's disappearance and sensed an anomaly that triggered the attack of evil Alice and turned into a puppet. None of the mercenaries died (this is a rhetoric designed to cover up resurrection)!
It was still her, who controlled the body of the evil boss several times when Sui Yu fought the boss, avoiding the crisis of Sui Yu's team. Thus creating conditions for Sui Yu and them to defeat the BOSS!
In the end, after the end of the vigorous boss battle, the kind-hearted Alice sacrificed her life to destroy the evil Alice, and resolutely controlled her body and rushed into the range of Sui Yu's ultimate attack!
When Philomena told this story with emotion, many parents here couldn't help but shed tears.
Especially when Philomena said, "Heaven has mercy, and Alice, who was destined by the Light, not only did not die because of this, but completely eliminated the resentment that occupied her body. Thus gaining freedom! The audience burst into thunderous applause!
Then when it was time to discuss compensation, the group of parents immediately put all their emotions behind them, while talking about the non-existent injuries of their children (the children who died once were all resurrected by Sui Yu, and their bodies were healthier than before). Where could there be any injuries? ), while trying to get more compensation for themselves.
It seems that in the face of the interests that are enough to shake the heart, it is better to be moved or put aside......
In the end, Charlotte directly asked someone to divide all the gold coins and materials equally into equal shares according to the number of children, and then the parents drew lots to choose the compensation they hoped to receive.
At this time, the parents have no opinions, and at the same time, because Charlotte has already spent money in advance with the connections accumulated by her ancestors, this mysterious disappearance that almost caused a sensation in the entire Black territory ended in a dull way.
After the group of mercenaries left with a photo signed by Sui Yu (in fact, Sui Yu signed a photo and then copied hundreds of copies), the children also said goodbye to their sister Alice with tears, especially after hearing that Charlotte had decided to leave the country in order to prevent Alice from staying here and being retaliated against.
That night, however, all the children reappeared in Alice's spiritual world.
It turned out that the group of children had stayed in Alice's spiritual world for a long time and had a deep spiritual bond with Alice, so after going to bed at night. As their spirits relaxed, they would naturally come back to the spiritual world created by Alice, and this was also beyond Alice's expectations, and even more unexpected than Rose's.
Yes, Alice is currently working on a research project, and her job is simple, to be studied by Rise......
It was not easy to find such a strong man who was suspected of being a legendary. How could Ress let go of the opportunity to research, so after Charlotte was penniless and even had no fixed residence, this glasses lady invited Charlotte to take Alice and Sui Yu to live in a hotel with a very good environment in the puppet town.
Not only is there good food and drink every day (the battle queens prepared some food for Sui Yu and prepared some for them by the way, which was enough to call it a good meal, Charlotte even sighed, it was better than what she had eaten in the past), but Rose also promised to hire two people to cooperate with her experiment at the price of fifty gold coins a day.
Perhaps out of sympathy for her kind, Charlotte, who had been obsessed with making the perfect puppet, knew at a glance that Rose was also a persistent researcher like him, so he decisively rejected Rose's proposal - Charlotte was worried that Rose had broken his baby Alice.
However, Alice insisted on agreeing to Ress's invitation, which forced Charlotte to compromise. Of course. This may also have something to do with Alice's questioning of how the two of them should live next when they have no money and no place to live.
Regardless of the process, in terms of the result, everyone is happy.
Alice finally doesn't have to indulge in hatred all day long, and Charlotte doesn't need to be controlled by Alice to constantly make doll parts every day (Charlotte says that he doesn't plan to touch anything about dolls for at least a while).
At the same time, Rose can also be satisfied with holding a large number of small dolls with instrument stickers, not to mention, and holding a lot of unknown equipment to take pictures of Alice.
Of course, the reason why Rose is so serious about her research is not only because she is eager to obtain data on the development laws of this world's power system. At the same time, it was also because Sui Yu instructed her to study the principle of Alice's holy land space, especially to find out why those children could still remotely log in to the "virtual world server" after returning home.
As an otaku who enjoys virtual games all day long in the original world. Sui Yu has an extremely special affection for virtual games, so after hearing that Alice can actually simulate a virtual game world that only exists in the world of technology, Sui Yu fell in love and decisively ordered Rose to study how Alice's virtual game world was created.
Although Avalon is still in a critical period of rapid development and efforts to strengthen its defenses, it is not suitable for all the war queens to accompany him into the virtual world to play games, but if he waits until Avalon is completely stable and safe, Sui Yu still hopes to establish a virtual world so that everyone can go in and relax.
Not to mention. It takes time to build Avalon, and so does the development of virtual games, and both are going on at the same time, so that no one can delay anyone.
A few days passed, and Reese submitted the research report to Sui Yu.
Regrettably, Alice's progression is obviously full of chance and irreproducibility. At the same time, research has shown that her mental state also seems to be in a very peculiar state, which is completely incomparable to that of ordinary humans, so Ress's purpose of improving the willpower training method may not be realized.
However, there has been a breakthrough in the study of the virtual world, and Reese discovers that the spiritual world that the children call the holy land should be related to the cause of the mental world, and Alice's method of constructing the spiritual world by collecting the children's fantasies is also determined to be a very clever approach.
Through this method of material sourced from users, Alice, as a "server", can not only reduce most of the pressure of maintaining the spiritual world, but also enrich her own material library - yes, the knowledge and fantasy obtained from the children have also become Alice's knowledge, and even these knowledge, especially the understanding of happiness and love, have become part of Alice's personality, and this is the fundamental reason why Alice will have a child-like personality after seizing her body and controlling Charlotte.
After figuring out the general cause of the spiritual world, coupled with the material extraction mode that Alice gave extra, Reese has come up with a simple spiritual world generator in the past few days, and by inputting high-quality spiritual power into the instrument for compression and guidance, a chaotic spiritual world is constructed in it, and then this world will gradually become real after the connected person provides a large amount of material and achieves a completely false and real effect, so that the connected person can't distinguish between fantasy and reality in it (not only the material comes from the real world). At the same time, because the inbound itself is also using its own cognition to constantly revise the world, the inbound person will not be able to detect the falsity of this world in any way).
And this happens to be the same feature shared by the virtual games that Sui Yu once entered - because the game signal is directly connected to the shaking light in the human brain, the virtual world is too real, and players often can't tell whether reality is unreal, so game companies have to try their best to make the virtual world fake.
And what made Sui Yu even happier was that. Alice not only provides a convenient way to obtain materials, but also because those children can still "log in" to the game world after returning home, and by the way, Reese has developed a technology to wirelessly connect to a virtual game server.
This kind of technology has not been developed by Sui Yu in that world!
You must know that Sui Yu's world's most advanced virtual game login device can only be miniaturized to a game helmet, and a dedicated network cable interface must be used, like the game login device used by Sui Yu is the most bulky game warehouse.
Don't think that the game warehouse is more high-end than the game helmet, in order to protect the player's body, most virtual gamers must use the game warehouse to log in to the game, otherwise the player can easily hurt the real body due to some overly exciting actions in the game.
Therefore, only some high-end gaming headsets can ensure that gamers only need to lie flat on the bed and play safely, without lying in a gaming compartment full of various scanners and temporary rescue equipment.
The game login method discovered by Rose from Alice not only solves the technical bottleneck of developing game warehouses and game helmets. At the same time, under Rise's experiment, it was found that there was no delay in this login method!
"According to my ability to capture the changes in the spiritual magnetic field around believers, I have found that the power of faith should be a mutated spiritual force. And the transmission of the power of faith is almost undelayed, almost the believers pray here, and the gods over there will receive it instantly! And Alice's ability to allow children to remotely log in to the spiritual world is almost based on this feature of spiritual power! ”
Reese explained from the side while Sui Yu read the report: "The reason why the power of faith can be instantly transmitted to the god of faith is because the power of faith carries the spiritual characteristics of that god, so the power of faith will be quickly thrown into the sea of consciousness of the gods for the gods to use according to the rules of faith transmission in this world. And those children are contaminated with Alice's spiritual characteristics, so they will unconsciously connect to Alice's spiritual world after sleeping. Since the spiritual power, a special energy that transcends matter, has the characteristic of ignoring most of the barriers of reality, as long as one of the two is not in the position or shield of isolating the spiritual power. The connection between the two is almost instantaneous! Then when those children's bodies are about to wake up, they will quickly return to the main body because of the spiritual characteristics that belong to the ontology in the spiritual power! ”
Sui Yu didn't understand. But one thing I know is that the virtual world may soon appear in this world!
So Sui Yu happily ate an extra bowl of wonton stew that night, and then he didn't sleep well all night because of the discomfort......
After a few more days, Ress basically carried out a research work on Alice, and Ress's research work finally came to an end.
Of course, Ress actually wants to be able to study Alice for a while. However, because Sui Yu had consumed more than half of the gold coins in hand, Sui Yu was worried that he would go bankrupt if he continued to study, so Reese reluctantly gave up her research on Alice.
And the end of the research naturally means that the time of separation is coming, and the day of parting is set, and Sui Yu is sorry to say goodbye to Charlotte and Alice (mainly Ruisi and Alice are sorry to say goodbye). Then Sui Yu suddenly thought that there was another question that had been bothering him for a long time and had not been resolved.
So Sui Yu asked Alice: "Speaking of which, you use the children who have become dolls as a springboard to lure other children to come and join you after becoming dolls, and this ability is almost unlimited because of some particularities of mental power." So why didn't you let the Chamber of Commerce handle it in the first place? If there is a chamber of commerce to sell dolls, I'm afraid you can kidnap all the children from all over the country at this time, right? ”
Sui Yu's guess made Charlotte subconsciously tremble, in order to compensate for the missing children in ten miles and eight villages, he went bankrupt, if all the children in the country were abducted, then he would probably have to take the little puppet to the end of the world - I really can't afford to pay it!
Then after listening to Sui Yu's words, Alice suddenly showed a look of chagrin and said to Sui Yu in a tone of great regret: "I just thought that I couldn't let you humans take advantage, but I didn't expect that I could use those merchants to increase the coverage area of the puppet!" What a mistake! ”
Seeing the annoyance on the little puppet's face, Sui Yu sighed heartlessly to Philomena beside him: "Sure enough, knowledge is very important!" You see, because of the lack of culture, Alice missed the opportunity to quickly improve her strength, otherwise we might not have been able to defeat her easily! ”
"I don't know if I can beat her." Philomena pointed behind Sui Yu and said to him, "But I know one thing, Alice's head hammer is about to hit ...... Well, it's already hit your head! (To be continued.) )
