Chapter 37: The Man

"Huh?"

The shrine maiden raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Well, a large part of the reason is that I will agree with your plan because of this."

Mo Chen considered the organizational language and slowly stated his thoughts.

"Kikyo, what do you think is the law of nature? The essential embodiment of the appearance of the world? Limited to the level of human cognition, including known and unknown underlying patterns? ”

“……”

“……”

“…… I don't know about that. ”

The shrine maiden replied softly, she didn't think much about this question at all, and gave the answer directly.

But if you think about it, this is normal. She really didn't know, so no matter how much she thought about it, she wouldn't get any meaningful answers, and she didn't want to rely on her own "guesses" to answer questions that weren't clear at all.

"yes, you don't even know Kikyo."

Mo Chen's face was full of interest, but there was an inexplicable strange meaning in his eyes.

"But as far as I am concerned, the so-called laws may not be so esoteric and difficult to understand. It exists in the appearance and reality of the world, and in every detail......"

"Why do you say that?"

Kikyo's long eyelashes twitched slightly, and she looked at the other party silently, waiting for what should be there.

"Because the laws of nature are in fact ubiquitous and all-encompassing, the more esoteric expression is the basis for the existence and maintenance of life and soul, and the process by which the world comes and dies."

With that, Mo Chen raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and the surrounding scene changed instantly.

"And if it is more simple and clear, it is even easier to understand, in fact, one plus one equals two, the apple will fall from the tree, and the light will spread in a straight line......"

“……”

Kikyo listened carefully to his words, and calmly watched the scene in front of him change, showing all kinds of tragic and terrible scenes-

The earth was crumbling and cracking, villages and towns were left with ruins, lakes and rivers were dried up and cut off, mountains were razed to the ground, and the ground was plowed into terrible cracks.

The vast rift ravines spread to the end of the horizon......

It's a mess, it's a mess, it's a world that's been ruined.

She knew full well that this was what had happened before, but now it was just an illusion. There's nothing she can do about it, nothing can change what's already happened.

But there is no need to do anything in this pure illusion.

"This is indeed an illusion, but it is not a spiritual illusion...... I'm now distorting the light by direct refraction. ”

Mo Chen spread his hands, looked at the dark and desperate world around him, and said in a slightly as if he was feeling.

"Then the problem arises, in my 'realm', even things like light and sound, are like extensions of my own body, and they are as easy to control as breathing......

"So, since I'm free to modify things like apples falling down from trees and light spreading in a straight line, does that mean I-"

"At least the law can be freely modified on a local scale?"

“……”

“……”

Kikyo frowned slightly, and lowered his eyes thoughtfully. She seemed to notice something, and thought about the other party's statement.

The other party should have more say in that kind of esoteric realm than himself, but if it is according to him...... It seems that the threshold in that field is not so high?

Not even anything else, the fact that she's resurrected from the dead right now is enough to call it a miracle, right?

Does this also touch on areas that should not be touched?

"But these are not the main things I want to say, what I really want to say is actually - I am now a little suspicious of the existence of this world, the so-called laws, just like some kind of special "setting".

Mo Chen didn't stop there, he just said to himself, and his face also changed slightly.

"You know what? I was even ...... half a month ago I don't even know that the Warring States Period was like that five hundred years ago, and I don't think there will be settings such as four souls, straight spirits, and curved spirits, in a sense, the reason why they exist is not also a kind of law? ”

"I don't know ...... four souls"

The shrine maiden was also a little uncalm, and looked at him with a surprised expression, in her opinion, the other party should not know about this kind of thing.

According to the news revealed by the other party's previous brief introduction, that is, the mystery of this era has been relatively weakened, and the vast majority of people no longer believe in the existence of mysterious extraordinary powers.

But since he himself is not the vast majority of those people, then he should not be ignorant of these mysterious knowledge that has been passed down.

If he wasn't a person in this circle, how could he cultivate such an earth-shattering strength in this era that is said to be mysterious and lacking in spiritual energy?

That terrifying spiritual power even felt that he had never seen it before, and he was secretly frightened...... There's no reason to eat it, right?

After thinking about it for a moment, Kikyo shook his head gently.

She only thinks that there should be something else she doesn't know about it, for example, in the past five hundred years, the breaking of the mysterious inheritance is more troublesome and serious than she imagined.

So the other party didn't know the four souls, and it wasn't until he went to the era where he was through that well that he learned about the past, which is also possible.

She didn't expect that what the other party meant was actually half a month ago, and there really were no laws about the four souls in this world, and these were all settings that were added later.

If it weren't for the fusion of the new worldview, there really would be no such thing as four souls in this world. In that case, there would not even be relevant laws, and Mo Chen would naturally not become a Raush Ziqu Ling.

But it seems to be a matter of course, the world is already changing dramatically.

In the beginning, it was a completely ordinary world, but later there were supernatural immortal creatures like Himiko.

Then, starting with that turning point, everything changed.

Mo Chen couldn't be sure before, and of course he couldn't be sure now, but he just had a rough conjecture-

If the other worlds opened up by the Rubik's Cube like the World of Shame are some kind of possibility only for oneself;

Then the world view that is directly integrated into the current plane by the Rubik's Cube seems to be a comprehensive sublimation of the whole world, like a patch pack for some games to continue to update in the future.

- Some kind of setting that didn't exist in the first place, or the laws of nature, was added by the worldview that later merged.

Just like the laws of magic power, Mo Chen, who has experienced in the world of shame, only has magic power himself, and the real world is simply a forbidden demon area.

But when the legend of Himiko has a corresponding entity, then theoretically speaking, in the real world, there is also a law of magic, but it should still be a very small number of examples.

And in the Warring States period 500 years ago, that time and space, which had become history no matter what, became an era of rampant ghosts......

The dark side of the world seems to have really taken shape, and at least a rough basic plate has appeared.

The impact of this change is not simply the replacement of an already vague "history", but also the addition of additional "settings" to the otherwise ordinary world.

To exist is to be reasonable, and even though it once existed, it does not mean that it will not exist now.

Maybe no one else knows, but Mo Chen has a deep understanding of the changes here-

Because he once felt that whether it was the power of Himiko or the influence of residual obsession, it belonged to him, and as long as he was willing to spend a lot of time and energy, then he could solve the problem naturally.

That's not a delusion, it's not a misjudgment, it's just a matter of ......

Before he could solve the question, the laws of the world seemed to be updated and patched again.

Some of the methods that could be used before have become bugs that have been fixed and can no longer be used.

The most significant change was that Mo Chen had discovered before that spiritual power could continue to be transformed through wear, but Himiko's residual obsession suddenly became a piece of stubborn iron.

What he used to be able to wear away little by little through stupid methods suddenly couldn't shake half a point no matter what, and there was even a tendency to gradually erode his spirit little by little.

Originally, he was still a little entangled and couldn't figure it out, but after he met Kikyo later, and was pointed out by the other party, he suddenly understood the key point.

The existence of Himiko only proves the existence of the law of the "soul".

The dispute of the Jade of the Four Souls further illustrates the content of the later update patches - the detailed "settings" about the soul have been improved, and the relationship between the four souls, the straight spirit, and the curved spirit has been extended.

Mo Chen felt that his previous judgment was not wrong, and the only problem was that the laws of the world had changed later.

……

……

The streets are dark at night, and the cool night breeze blows slowly.

"Misako, you really haven't had a problem lately, you haven't been to school for a few days in a row......"

A few girls in sailor suits stood at the door of the izakaya on the corner of the street, saying goodbye while looking at Misako Tojo worriedly.

The latter's expression was a little sluggish, and great sadness could be seen in his eyes, but when he heard the concerned words of his classmates and friends, he still reluctantly squeezed out a smile:

"It's okay, I've taken a good leave of absence......"

"It's not a question of taking time off at all, is it? Although it may be a bit reasonable to say this, I don't think Aunt Dongcheng has a spirit in the sky, and she wouldn't want to see you like this. ”

The corners of a girl's mouth twitched slightly, and she sighed and admonished.

"Misako, you'd better accept the reality as soon as possible, and it's only right for your father to cheer up first, instead of supporting this izakaya ...... yourself"

"yes, Misako......"

"I also think you should be balabala......"

Several other people also persuaded them to gossip, and finally retreated under the unwavering and unyielding attitude of the parties, and some were unwilling to say goodbye and leave.

Misako Higashiro looked back at the sign of the izakaya behind her, which hadn't been open for a while, but the residents and regular customers of the neighborhood knew what was going on and couldn't say anything about it.

The business was closed for a few days before, and it is said that the proprietress father's father passed away, so I have to deal with the aftermath...... But I didn't expect that not long after that, even the proprietress herself was involved in the serial murder case that caused a stir a while ago, and she encountered an accident.

It is said that the boss Nian felt that the mask left by his father was unlucky, and was ready to send it to a nearby shrine to ward off evil spirits, and then he was killed on the way.

But does this also mean that the thing is really unlucky? And it seems that the previous rumors were some kind of mask cannibalism or something.

Or others think it's nonsense, but the residents of the neighborhood are more or less aware of some of the inside story, so they always feel that something is wrong with the rumors themselves.

Of course, on the surface, no one will say that it is, but there will inevitably be muttering doubts in the dark center.

The same is true of Misako Tojo, she doesn't know how she survived this time, whether it is at school or at home, she is in a mess, just like her father.

But in the past few days, she suddenly regained her spirits, ready to support the family's izakaya by herself.

Of course, there is a reason why my father has not been able to cheer up because he has been hit too hard, and there are more important reasons that are-

She hopes to take this opportunity to meet the same person from before again.

The young man who had just listened to her casually half a month before the incident immediately concluded that there was a problem with that face.
