Chapter 686: The Paradox of Omniscience and Omnipotence
……
……
In fact, after reading the information about SCPs, he had already received information about a new profession - researcher.
If, like Chen Hui's goods, he would get a certain identity at the same time as he got a certain profession, it was very likely that this profession would be related to the SCP Foundation, but he was not satisfied, and his intuition told him that this was definitely not the clue to that rare profession.
So, upon the discovery of SCP-343, his gaze changed abruptly.
That's Him!
There is another independent space in the general management center, if the outside is a sci-fi scene, then this area is specially created, suitable for ordinary people's lives, full of a sense of disobedience of ordinary people's living room.
This is an area dedicated to SCP-343, which shows its importance.
Unlike other containment areas, which are heavily guarded and contained, this area is extremely loose, or has no containment procedures at all.
Because it's not necessary, and it can't be done.
SCP-343-"God", as his code name describes, is omniscient and omnipotent, and cannot be restrained by any known means, claiming to be the creator of the universe and being contained only because of his own will......
Wang Kejian wanted to talk to the other party, but the only trouble was that if the other party happened to be absent, everything would be in vain.
Luckily, He was right there.
From time to time, a little crumbs popped out of the warm stove, orange flames jumped, and the white-haired old man sat in a wooden rocking chair covered with a blanket, wearing reading glasses and holding a book to read carefully.
It's more like an ordinary kind grandfather than a god.
"You're here." Pushing his reading glasses, the old man put down his book and smiled at him, while pushing over a cup of hot coffee and motioning for him to sit down.
Wang Kejian sat opposite him quietly, took the coffee, and he could notice that the other party also had a cup of coffee in front of him, as if it had been prepared for him in the morning.
It's like he'd known he'd come.
"I know what you want, and that's what you want." The old man smiled and handed the book he had flipped through earlier.
Originally, he thought it was an ordinary book, but the moment he touched it, he felt a trance in his consciousness, and the texture of this simple black book was as if he was touching human skin, and bursts of whispers sounded faintly in his ears.
"Okay, you should only be able to reach this level now, and I'm afraid the Book of Dead Dead won't last long for you, even for you in a higher dimension." Just when Wang Kejian's consciousness was about to fall into babbling and become more and more manic, the old man put the book back.
"Necronomicon...... Is that the name of the book? Gasping for breath, Wang Kejian was in a cold sweat on his forehead, his face was afraid, and he looked at this book with fear, as an omnivorous netizen with a wide range of knowledge, he naturally knew what the famous "Book of Necrons" in the Cthulhu Mythos was.
The mood is extremely complicated, with joy and fear at the same time.
What he was afraid of was that there was an indescribable evil nature in this book, and he just touched the cover of the book, and as a result, his reason almost evaporated just now, and he became a madman.
Usually when games go crazy, they come in the form of some kind of debuff, but this is an extremely real holographic online game, so real that it ...... He almost wondered if he would really become a madman.
The joy is that after contacting this book, the system sent a notification.
[Have you been in contact with career-related props, triggered the profession - occultist, and completed the relevant career tasks by default, are you willing to accept it?] 】
Full of joy and complexity, he chose to accept, and at the same time was extremely shocked by what the old man said on the other side.
High dimensional! You guys!
Although he knows that this game is extremely real and extremely free, he has also seen some online game texts of this type, such as NPCs who know that they are in a game world, but when all this really happens to him, he realizes how incredible it is.
"Actually, it's not you I'm waiting for." The old man sighed faintly: "Can't hide, but also want to know some truth, omniscient and omnipotent?" ”
He smiled self-deprecatingly.
Wang Kejian wanted to say something, but suddenly found that his open mouth could no longer be closed, not only his mouth, but his entire body could not move, and at the same time, it seemed that all time around him had stood still.
And then...... Then, the consciousness in front of his eyes darkened, and he was ejected from the game.
When he woke up from reality, he frowned slightly, he always felt as if he had forgotten something, and after trying to recall to no avail, he simply chose to give up and happily opened the computer to log in to the official website.
Preparing to record all of his experiences, he eventually obtained a rare occupation occultist from the SCP archives, and detonated a nuclear bomb after leaving.
Yes, that's what his last memory is, and he will never know what the truth really is.
……
"In the setting, I claim to have created this universe, claiming to be omniscient and omnipotent, but this is a bug in itself, the world itself is incomplete, so what is the use of my omniscience?"
SCP-343 looked calmly at the illusory light and shadow that appeared in front of him, and asked, "What should I call you?" Creator? Or a certain name? ”
The illusory light and shadow gradually solidified, An Yi's indifferent face became clearer and clearer, and he looked at the other party with a little curiosity: "At the beginning, Pandora told me that the data I provided would inevitably cause bugs if it was fully realized, but I didn't expect it to be in the form of you. ”
"The world is just a game." SCP-343 was not surprised, but sighed, "Because it's just a copy of the game, it's not even a world." ”
"You're surprised enough, I deliberately left you with this bug, just to see how far you can do this data bug, and I was just curious about how far the concept of omniscient omnipotence will reach after being digitized, but unfortunately it can only be like this." An Yi smiled, although there was some regret, but this result was actually expected.
When SCP-343 was set up, Anyi deliberately left this bug behind, because omniscience and omnipotence is a paradox, and if it is a paradox, how will it manifest itself?
Will he be able to tell himself some truth with the help of this created omniscient omnipotence?
It's a pity that the reality is cruel, and shortcuts are not easy to take.
"Can you ask if there really is omniscience and omnipotence in your world?" SCP-343 asked.
"I don't know, I created you based on your prototype, but it only limits my seriousness." An Yi thought for a moment and replied seriously:
"Perhaps."
