Chapter 170: People Can't Live When They See My Face
Mr. Smith, the only wizard alive at the time, watched the three of them flee from the hall without making any move.
Although he is not tied up now, nor does he say that he maintains a spell, that is, he can't move, magicians don't have such weaknesses, and the real world is not a game, and the so-called class balance will be adjusted specifically for the sake of balance.
The magician restrains the warrior, the warrior restrains the assassin, and the assassin restrains the magician......
And so on.
In fact, a magician can multitask, he can use spells instantly, and he can continue to do other things while maintaining many spells, as long as he is not maintaining a particularly demanding advanced spell.
Even many magicians have chosen the path of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, and often they have achieved something in the knight's route, even if they can't break through to the third rank, the second rank is also a good achievement.
If you really follow the routine of the game, you think that the thief and mage, as long as he is close to him, even ordinary people can have a chance to kill a powerful mage...... Then there is really no help.
- The explosive speed can easily approach the speed of sound, a vehicle weighing several tons can be kicked out, a slap of the knife can cut a sturdy and sturdy telephone pole, and an ordinary knife (scrap) (iron) can not even leave a white mark on their skin......
Such a priest will probably make the Rogue Assassin who closes the distance and prepares for melee combat despair of his profession.
Mr. Smith didn't take the advanced route of a knight, but the demon bloodline has awakened twice, from "half-demon" to "ordinary demon", which is naturally equivalent to a part-time official knight rank. It's just that the reason why he didn't do it was purely because he didn't care.
It's just a few ordinary people, and they can't resist the general trend of the times in the future, after all, even Queen Victoria, the most noble woman in this era and this empire, can't choose the method of frontal confrontation when the "Golden Dawn" has developed to such an extent.
What's more, judging from the feedback from those big nobles, the day is not far away to convince the queen to make her an important member of the "Golden Dawn".
If it weren't for the current world and this era, it seems that he is the only "wizard", and if he wants to change the trend of the times with his magical power, it is simply a drop in the bucket and difficult to support alone, he would have directly showdown with the world.
But it's not bad now, in the wise words of the old East, he's now the general trend—
Knowledge beyond human intellect, as well as the power that goes against common sense, as long as these things can be spread in this ordinary world and applied on a large scale, then it will definitely be able to accomplish his great cause!
The most important thing is that there is no other divine power in this world except for the Eternal Serpent watching!
And the Eternal Serpent obviously does not interfere with what Mr. Smith does, as if it is a bacterium on a grain of gravel in the vast sea of sand, no matter how it evolves, it cannot arouse the interest of a normal person.
Therefore, Mr. Smith believes that how far he can go depends entirely on how far he can go, whether he is determined enough and whether his ideas are wild enough......
- Yes, everything depends only on him, and has nothing to do with all other external factors, and if he still can't go far in this overwhelming situation, it can only be said that his strength ends here.
So Mr. Smith just watched the three of them leave coldly, without any movement or any stopping. He thought that although the three of them were out of plan, they were harmless, and if they could really escape, they would just let them go.
If you are specifically entangled with them, it will inevitably seem a little lost...... What's more, they have already appreciated the great and profound nature of the Eternal Serpent, and they have come into contact with knowledge that they shouldn't be exposed to, so easy to get rid of the relationship?
Thinking so, his gaze swept back, and Mr. Smith saw that everyone in the audience was motionless, and nodded with considerable satisfaction.
I feel like a teacher who finds out that all the students in my class are studying hard, and then I can definitely get a pretty good average score, and my prize money has been settled.
Although everyone wore masks, and Mr. Smith didn't use a form of insight like "perspective", he didn't need to, knowing that everyone was now immersed in an "anomalous sanity".
He used the previous arrangement, a special incense, to launch a large-scale illusion.
——He used the memories and feelings obtained when he digested the fragments of knowledge in his blood as the blueprint, made an illusion, and directly shared some of the memories and feelings with the people present from the level of sensory perception and spiritual thinking.
That's right, the experience that everyone feels now, the enormous knowledge they feel, the experience of diving into the dark and lightless depths, and vaguely perceiving something that transcends time and space......
These are just some of Mr. Smith's experiences.
After all, it is impossible for Mr. Smith to have the ability to actively reach out to the Great Being and watch the Serpent of Eternity through ritual magic, and the truth is that he simply can't.
The previous lecture was not just for preaching, but also to create a great image of the Eternal Serpent, and everything he said was just to increase the confidence of people today, so that their subconscious minds can receive relevant information and autosuggestion, so that illusion can better connect their brainwaves......
In this way, when the illusion is activated, the audience can basically relive the memories and feelings of Mr. Smith in a big way.
As long as they subconsciously believe and accept it, and there is no deliberate confrontation with their thinking thoughts, then the soul wavelength will naturally tend to be in tune.
The multiple brains of all human beings are connected by the effect of large illusions, sharing all information on an electrochemical level, including emotions, memories, perceptions—everything, directly.
This is the method that Mr. Smith has come up with during this time, so that what he has learned and understood can be copied and pasted directly into the minds of these believers.
And because it's the information he's filtered through, it's also safe.
After all, looking directly at the Serpent of Eternity was unimaginably dangerous, and even if he had the ability to do so, he wouldn't have chosen to do so. Even when Mr. Smith himself was digesting fragments of knowledge, he vaguely felt that he was approaching the Great Being.
It is impossible to look directly, and it is impossible to look directly in this life!
Because human beings with limited abilities can never fully comprehend this universe, and looking directly at the divine true body of such a great god will cause cognitive dissonance, which will eventually lead to insanity and intellectual collapse.
"You cannot see my face, for no man can live when he sees my face."
- The Exodus
……
……
In the dark tunnels filled with the stench, there was a noise of footsteps, mixed with the sound of human breathing and talking.
"How? Detective, can you walk on your own now? ”
"Yes, yes...... Thank you, Dr. Watson, and Sherlock. ”
Inspector Lestrade gasped for breath, his face was pale and languishing, and he struggled to get himself to his feet, but he still felt his legs and feet weak, and his body was stiff and difficult to move.
He didn't want to remember what had just happened, for the already aged detective, he only remembered himself screaming, struggling on his own, and then he didn't remember anything, the only thing he knew was a glimpse of the dark and forbidden realm.
As is always the case, the fear that arises in retrospect is often more frightening than at the time of the incident.
Now that he has the ability to breathe and the rationality to think normally, Inspector Lestrade feels more horror than before. He didn't even know if he really felt something, and because of that he felt an indescribable fear.
He had a hunch that he didn't see it clearly, otherwise, his existence would have been peeled away layer by layer, and then melted into nothingness, as if it had never existed.
After a moment's respite, Inspector Lestrade regained his breath and struggled not to think back to what had happened, but looked around in confusion:
"Where is this?"
"London sewers......" said Holmes's voice succinctly in the darkness, "it smells disgusting, and there is a lot of dirty garbage, and rats, but unfortunately we have only one escape route that can be relied upon." ”
London Sewers ......
Inspector Lestrade was in a trance for a moment, and then reacted.
The massive project, which took six years to complete and is said to be 1,700 kilometers long, was actually 2,000 kilometers longer than it was designed.
Walking through the streets of London, people are not aware of the existence of a huge underground drainage system under London, but it does not change the fact that it crisscrosses the London underneath and basically digs it into a honeycomb underneath...... It is also said that during the construction of the year, there were many accidents.
For example, digging up gas pipes and connecting them with subway projects caused landslides...... And so on and so forth.
However, in this case, since it was dug through the subway project back then, it seems that there is a possibility that some places are still connected because of disrepair or because someone deliberately did it...... Maybe maybe even the crazy people of Golden Dawn did it.
"It should be okay, we have checked it before, this road just smells a little stinky, otherwise it is clean, there is not so much dirty garbage and sewage, and this one is the most likely way out of so many roads......
Dr. Watson's somewhat feeble voice rang out in the darkness.
He just relied on the strong will honed by his military career in Afghanistan to forcibly resist the mental erosion brought about by that kind of whispering, and now after relaxing, he still felt a burst of illusory headaches.
Worst of all, he found that the extra things in his mind had not disappeared - the knowledge of evil heresy and witchcraft had survived, and he knew exactly what they meant.
