Chapter 22: Brain Monsters
At this time, the professor couldn't help but start studying the rules of this world. He first created a few simple dioramas such as cubes and balls, rolled them around, or arranged them in various shapes to build a small castle, then created some gears and parts and combined them into a clock, and then he made a puppet and made it move on its own.
He seemed to be searching to see if the rules and reality in this strange space were the same.
After a long time, the professor waved his hand and made everything disappear without a trace, "It's really amazing! I felt as if everything around me had changed, and this change seemed to transcend reality. He said, pointing to a clearing not far away. There was supposed to be a tent there. He gestured toward the clearing, where a swimming pool appeared. The professor walked over and reached out and paddled the water. "It seems that this is not an ordinary illusion, if it is just to change the perception of what we see and touch, when we put our hands on real objects, there should be a sense of touch, but there is nothing here, it is like water."
He walked back again, to the image of the 'thing'. In his eyes, this 'thing' is an intellectual beauty with glasses.
"I don't believe you can really change reality itself, you admitted that you were using illusion, let me guess, you disturb our understanding of time and space. So even if there is only a small space, it can make us feel that we are free to roam in an incomparably large world. ”
After he finished asking the question, he didn't wait for the other party's answer, but said to himself, "But if that's the case, then this world must still have an end, because you can only expand the space of this feeling, but you can't expand it indefinitely." In the illusory world, we have walked 10,000 meters, and in reality we may only walk one meter, but this meter is real. If we keep going, sooner or later we will get out of this illusion. He glanced at the lich flying in the distance on a dragon, which was almost out of sight, but the dragon was still not gone. I couldn't help frowning.
"Or, I can disturb your sense of direction and make you think you're moving forward, but you're going in circles, so that no matter how far you go, you won't go out of my realm." But the intellectual beauty said so.
"That's right, it's a genius idea." The professor looked at the intellectual beauty with admiration. "Your abilities are simply amazing, human nerves are fragile and vulnerable, and a small stimulus can make a huge difference in the perception of the surroundings, but I'm curious, if we keep living in this illusion, how do you make sure we don't starve to death or die of thirst?"
The intellectual beauty shook her head, "Of course it's not a problem, it's just that the technology I use is far beyond your human comprehension, so it's hard for me to explain it to you, you just need to trust me." ”
The professor smiled, "I have to say, your expression is very convincing, but unfortunately, this trick is often used by me." Whenever I can't outdo the other side in a debate, I say that I have knowledge that I can't understand, which is very useful when the information is one-way transparent, but for us summoners, it must not be convincing. ”
He said and looked around with some regret, "So I'm afraid I can't believe your words, it's a pity, I thought it would be nice to live here." ”
The intellectual beauty smiled, "So are you planning to leave?" ”
"That's right, although the composition of your world is very realistic, but this world can only deceive the body, but not the soul. Mr. Shadow, can you get some work? ”
"Of course." Xing Tianyu had been listening to the conversation between the two before, and at the same time thinking about the current situation, he had already had his own plan, he first directly turned on the psionic vision and looked around. However, to his surprise, everything around him was still there. The surrounding energy streams perfectly outline the frost dragon in the sky, Ozawa-kun's girlfriend, and the ice castle of hoarfrost. They all emit fluctuations of energy that they should have, as if they were real.
He glanced at the professor and told his findings. The professor was also a little surprised, "In this way, her illusion ability can not only change our senses, but even simulate things that don't exist. If it can do this, it must have extremely powerful energy, and it can convert energy into anything it wants to simulate, and these simulated things will also emit energy fluctuations. If that's the case, there's a real chance that we'll not die of thirst or starvation. ”
The beauty smiled, "Looks like you're smarter than I thought." ”
The professor nodded, "Thank you for the exaggeration. ”
Xing Tianyu said, "But we still can't tolerate putting our fate in the hands of others, professor, is there any other way, my intuition tells me that you still have something to say." ”
The professor nodded, "Of course, although her ability is amazing, but this is still not a problem, she can simulate things that do not exist, but she can't cover up what already exists, to create such a world, the energy in her body must be extremely huge." You look around you and see where the energy fluctuations are the strongest. ”
Xing Tianyu looked around, and suddenly fell on the sun in the sky. If there is a place with the greatest energy, it is undoubtedly there.
He condensed the spiritual energy in his body, and a spiritual lightning bolt blasted directly towards the sun in the sky.
The seemingly distant sun seemed to be extremely close at this time, and Xing Tianyu's spiritual lightning easily blasted it squarely.
Suddenly, the heavens and the earth changed color, and everything around them seemed to be distorted.
The frost dragons, the ice castles, the people and things that had been conjured were all distorted, and only the seven summoners present remained intact in their human form.
"No, you can't do that, you're going to ruin everything!" The beauty let out a high-pitched scream.
However, Xing Tianyu turned a deaf ear, and another spiritual lightning bolt blasted over, and this time, everything around him disappeared. Everyone stood there in amazement, and found that they were still standing on the summoner's platform, but the position had changed, and the lich was still riding a dragon, sitting on the ground, and the white frost was waving his hands at the air like a madman.
Ozawa-kun was hugging a demon guard and kissing him.
When the three of them realized what they were doing, they all screamed in embarrassment.
The chaos soon ended.
What everyone will care about most is that 'thing'.
Not far away, in the very center of the summoning circle, lay a huge brain-like thing, constantly twitching, it had a pink appearance, and it looked like a complete human brain.
That brain-like thing, after being hit by Xing Tianyu's two psionic lightnings, looked very weak, but this did not make everyone take it lightly. The kind of power that this brain showed just now, although it is not as good as the real lamp god, can be created out of nothing, but it is enough to confuse the real with the fake, coupled with its strange appearance, the first thing after everyone reacts is to control him. Sylvia directly created a magical cage and sealed him up.
"Looks like this thing can't be the god of lights."
"So what do we do? Send it back? ”
"I don't think it's necessary, this thing is so magical, its value is so great, maybe we can tame it. If it could be utilized, its value would be unimaginable. It was the Lich and White Frost who said this, and the two had a rare tacit understanding.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to keep something like this that can change reality at will?" Lucifer asked with some skepticism.
"Just add enough insurance to him, this brain itself still looks weak, we can plant a bomb on it and then plant an explosive device in our body. Or simply detonate it by magic, in which case if we feel that we are in a hallucination, or if we feel that it has a bad intention, we will immediately detonate the bomb, and in this case, any illusion will not work. ”
"That's a good idea, this strange brain, although it can conjure up everything, but after all, it's just an illusion, and it can't isolate psionic energy, so let's do it. If we don't succeed in summoning the god of lights, there's at least something to be shared, and then this brain is one of the trophies. At this time, the professor had already taken a few bombs, and then motioned to Sylvia to open the magic cage, and the brain was quietly suspended in front of everyone, and there was a transparent membrane around it, through which it could be clearly seen that some small electric currents were swimming on the surface of the brain, and at the same time, the brain also emitted bursts of mental fluctuations.
"Hey, can you hear me? Brain Monster. Sylvia asked.
"Yes, I can." A faint voice sounded in everyone's minds, this time it was clearly his real voice, inaudible of any gender, with an illusory feeling. "I didn't expect you to be able to defeat me, it's really surprising."
"Listen, now we're talking to you about something, you have two choices, be our spoils, serve us, or die." Which one do you choose? ”
"Be your spoils? What will happen to me? ”
"You need to be by our side, and use your abilities to serve us when we need them." ”
"That doesn't sound like any different from my previous request, why did you refuse my request and still want me to serve you? If that's the case, wouldn't it be better to listen to me from the beginning? ”
These words made everyone fall silent for a while.
Xing Tianyu said with a smile, "Of course this is different, in the case just now, we can only stay in the illusion forever, and in the end we will not be able to distinguish between reality and illusion, but now, our requirements can allow us to control the overall situation, and when needed, we can freely choose illusion or reality." One of the most important reasons, how can we be sure that you have no ill will towards us? So we have to keep countermeasures in place. ”
"Why can't there be more trust between people? But well, I'm willing to be your trophy. The brain said as if resigned.
"Good." Xing Tianyu glanced at the others, and each of them put the bombs in their hands into the membrane and placed them around their brains.
"What are you doing?" The brain seemed to be a little nervous.
"Nothing, just installing some small devices. In case you want to betray us, click and what will happen to you, you yourself will know. ”
"Alright, that's it!" Several people have taken care of the matter at hand. Not only are there several bombs installed around this brain, but Sylvia has also installed a magic detonation device on it, and the detonation device of these bombs is divided into two types, one is remote detonation, and the second is a detonation that is automatically triggered every day, and someone must enter the password on time every day, otherwise it will explode, so that this brain will definitely not be able to turn the sky upside down.
"Now, let's take a look at it. First of all, tell us, what kind of creature are you and where are you from? ”
"I don't understand what you mean, every creature defines itself, it takes its own name, and in the definition of human beings, you call yourself human, and in my definition, I also call myself human. But what I know for sure is that I am the only individual in my race. So you can give me a title, which is your authority as masters. ”
After some discussion, a few people finally chose a name that didn't seem so creative, "Then let's call you Brain Monster." ”
The Brain Monster was silent for a moment, but accepted the new name resignedly.
"So, brain monster, what are your functions?" White Frost asked.
"I can create an illusion realm around me, and all creatures within the realm will be trapped in illusion creation, and in the illusion I am God, and you can make me do anything for you. You can also control this illusion by yourself, of course, what you can do is determined by the permission, I gave you the third level of permission before, you can create most objects, you can transform your body, you can set the ability you want, and even conjure up intelligent beings that do not exist. ”
"If it's a second-level clearance, you can design something permanent. Those with Level 2 clearance or below will not be able to make mandatory changes to the creations of Level 2 Clearance, but of course, the person with the highest authority is still me, and I can decide the rules of the entire illusion. ”
"Sounds like a biocomputer." The professor excitedly said, "It's amazing, I think we have a lot to play with." ”
"Oh, yes. Dream brain, can you conjure up a real woman? I mean, how does it feel to interact with the woman you've conjured up? The lich asked suddenly, as if sensing the gaze of the others, and he shrugged his shoulders without embarrassment, "What do you all think of me as such, did I just ask about topics that everyone is interested in?" ”
"I'm afraid this topic is only of interest to you." White Frost asked narrowly.
"Cut, don't be serious, didn't you just play a lot of fun, if it's not over, I guess you've already conjured up Prince Charming."
"You!" White Frost was choked suddenly.
The brain monster said, "Do you mean having sex by interaction?" Then it's no different from a real woman, and it can even be better. Do you need me to transmog for you now? ”
"Oh, no, no, no. Let's wait for the evening. ”
Everyone asked a lot of questions to the brain monster, and everyone gradually understood the ability of this thing, in general, it was very magical, his brain could affect people and objects within a maximum of three kilometers around him, creating a fantasy that was completely comparable to reality. And because it can change human cognition of the flow rate of time, the length of distance, the size of space, etc., therefore, people who fall into the illusion will find that the entire illusion is extremely huge, and the time can be adjusted, and sometimes the person who may fall into the illusion feels that a week has passed, and in reality it refers to the past day, of course, this distortion is not without limits, and the size of the entire illusion can be created as big as an earth at most. But if it goes beyond that, it can still be detached.
And the more powerful the heap of spiritual power, the worse the effect of distortion.
Several people also have their own opinions on the usefulness of this brain. The professor thought it could be used as a biocomputer. Lucifer felt that he could simulate a variety of enemies in the illusion and fight against them to improve his strength. White Frost and the Lich believe that this thing is a super-large virtual reality game console, and it can be used as a virtual world to enjoy to the fullest. As for the ownership of this thing, it's not easy to talk about it now, because almost everyone wants it, only Xing Tianyu doesn't have this feeling, because he has a nightmare space, and although the nightmare space is not as realistic as the illusion created by this brain monster, and the size is much smaller, but the effect is very similar, he has long been a little tired of playing, so he naturally doesn't care very much.
He saw that everyone was arguing about the ownership of the brain monster, so he hurriedly said, "Guys, don't quarrel about this yet. You may think he's amazing right now, but maybe there's something even more amazing in the future, so don't rush to order loot. This thing will be a common property for a while, and then we will discuss the distribution after our calling is complete. ”
Several people finally calmed down, nodded their heads, and sent the brain monster to the storage area on the side.
