“……”

“……”

In this way, in this silent atmosphere that seemed to be getting stiffer and stiffer, the two of them went all the way to the tenth floor of the apartment, that is, the top floor.

They walked through the doors on both sides and left the hall. In front of you is a corridor through the east building, and behind the elevator that is a dead end is a corridor leading to the west building. The two of them walked around the back of the elevator to the hallway that circled the apartment.

- The time, before you know it, is almost eleven o'clock in the evening.

At this time, Mu Xiu suddenly stopped, and reached out to pull the kimono girl who was walking silently with her head down, leading a position in front of her.

Then he turned his head and looked out from the corridor, and saw that the night view of the city was very quiet and lonely, and he seemed to sigh a little uncontrollably.

"Then again, it's a dead place......"

In the vicinity of the large open space around the apartment, only the identical apartment remains, with asphalt roads and green courtyards between the apartments.

Such a scene is not so much a part of the city's night scene as a tombstone surrounded by greenery in a corner of the city's remote area.

“……”

Suddenly pulled without warning, after hearing Mu Xiu's voice, the body of the two rituals couldn't help but tremble slightly, and her slender fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.

…… This guy finally couldn't help it, so he spoke first to break the silence?

However, when she looked up, she suddenly found that the oval corridor in front of her was filled with darkness without light, and even the moonlight seemed quite faint.

Most importantly, about two rooms away from his current location, there stood a quiet figure in a black coat.

There is no doubt that Mu Xiu just broke the silence not to talk to her, but to give the Wild Ye Zonglian who had already appeared in front of him a chance to play, and to stop her from continuing to walk forward without notice-

"Cut!"

Seeing the appearance of the thin and tall skeleton, a guy who could be judged by just looking at the shadow, the girl's eyes suddenly became more awe-inspiring, and the slender fingers that held the nine characters were even harder.

“……”

Mu Xiu couldn't help blinking his eyes, and he didn't know why he suddenly felt some kind of extremely targeted sharp aura emanating from the two ceremonies......

It's just that she should just want to cut down Ye Zonglian, and the reason why she feels that she is suddenly targeting herself must be because she has some subtle illusion.

That's right, it's definitely an illusion.

In the oval corridor ahead, the magician Araya Zonglian was standing there at this moment. The distress engraved on his face should never go away.

Belonging to the origin of this front secret monk, the attribute and power of "stillness" have been fully awakened, so just standing on the opposite side will make the confrontation person feel the weight of vomiting, and the average person will be unable to move at the moment of confrontation with this magician.

Because it was a kind of over-the-top calm, it almost froze in the consciousness, and people subconsciously felt that they were ...... Nothing can be done in front of him.

Even the two ceremonies are no exception, after all, her body is also an ordinary person's body after all.

It's just that her cognition and spirit can't be regarded as an ordinary person, and she has enough resistance to this, she can feel that kind of pressure, but she won't be affected by that pressure on her actual actions.

Just as everyone is afraid, it is human nature, and the reason why soldiers can go to the battlefield and fight bravely is not because they don't know fear, but because they can overcome it.

Just inadvertently, the man's voice that was so depressed that it made people feel that it hurt in the brain when they heard it, as if it was pinched by an invisible hand—

"Is it lifeless? …… You're right, in this spiral structure that repeats itself as the everyday, it's essentially nothing more than a whirlpool of prototypes for the human experience of all death. ”

It was as if he had been there from the beginning, and there was no sign of him at all. He looked directly at Mu Xiu with a sullen expression, his face was full of unbearable distress, and he said with a serious face.

"It's a place of dead air, both conceptually and practically."

The resentment of the people killed in this building, repeated day after day, keeps increasing it. Every day is repeated, and every day the ending is more certain.

- So, what is gathered here is naturally getting thicker and thicker, death.

"But you do it...... What's the point? For you, as a human being, this is just a hell that absorbs death. ”

Mu Xiu asked with interest, he didn't give the other party a chance to speak because of the urgency of the situation before, but now it is different.

Even in Mu Xiu's eyes, the person of Aguya Zonglian is very interesting, and he can be said to be a real philosopher. It's just that both his thoughts and his pursuits are too heavy.

"Of course, because I always chase the number of deaths, I believe that after experiencing tens of thousands of different human beings with different ways of dying, there will be a spread of souls to the root in it."

Aguya Zonglian stepped forward, and there was no confusion in his words.

"However, it still can't reach the Great Yuan of all things. In that way, all that can be reached is the "origin" of human beings, and it is impossible to reach the origin of primates as a whole. And what matters is not the quantity of death, but the quality of death. ”

"If you go back to the origins, there are quite a few different types of death. I have roughly categorized the possible paths of death, and the result is close to sixty-four. ”

"The people who are concentrated here are burdened with all kinds of deaths...... If you really want to say it, this is a miniature of the world, which will eventually be transformed from "Bagua" to "Four Elephants", and ultimately to reach "Liangyi". ”

"Primates are too complex, and humans are now so divided that they have become almost impossible to measure properties and systems. Only when the conditions of the first differentiation of the "two rituals" after the original "one" are met, can the existence of the two rituals be sacrificed. ”

The magician turned his gaze from the boy in black to the girl in a pure white kimono and said without emotion.

“……”

“……”

"I see, I see...... It's not like a genius, but I have to admit that you're really out of the ordinary......

Mu Xiu muttered softly to himself, and then nodded with deep understanding.

However, at this time, the kimono girl on the side was already a little dissatisfied and frowned: "You guy...... Agree with his idea? ”

For some reason, she seemed faintly angry.

"Agreed? Not really, but I do think that he can come up with such a method, and he can already see farther than ordinary people......" Mu Xiu shook his head lightly and said.

"Then why are you talking to him so much?" The two ceremonies raised their eyebrows, she just wanted to solve the matter in front of her as soon as possible.

“…… I think that even if you are a condemned prisoner, you should have the right to give your last words. Mu Xiu still had a smile on his face.

It's just that it's really a bit laughable, because the first conversation between the two was realized in this way.

Shaking his head, avoiding the sharp gaze of the two ceremonies, Mu Xiu looked at the Huangye Zonglian who was wrapped in darkness:

"For this reason the same way of death...... The last day is repeated over and over again, but no matter how much you prepare, you will not be able to succeed, and you should be able to understand the inevitability that the living cannot reach the first cause. ”

First cause is a theological-philosophical term that is considered to be the initial cause of the entire chain of cause and effect. Nothing can be its own effect, so the cause must be something else, but this relationship cannot be extrapolated to infinity.

Because without the initial effect, there is no ultimate effect, and there is no intermediate effect. So there must be an initial effect, which is called "God."

- In the occult world, there is a "force" on the outside of this world that stands at the apex of dimensional theory.

It is called the "Vortex of Roots" and is the coordinate of the beginning of all things. It is the beginning and the end of all things, recording the whole of this world, the place where all causes roll, and the seat of the Creator who made this world.

The ultimate goal of any spiritual system and evolutionary path is to get closer to that place, and if you can get there, you will be able to have powers comparable to those of the Creator.

However, after death, the soul that originally belonged to a person loses its original body, and the projected soul returns to its roots.

The soul of mere knowledge itself does not have the ability to understand the root, and although the soul is close to the root, it lacks the knowledge to understand the root.

Therefore, it is only when people have a soul at the same time that it is possible to truly understand the root cause. At the same time, the person who has a soul is alive, but does not have the opportunity to reach the roots.

Because of such contradictions, the living cannot reach the root cause in any case.

If you want to circumvent this contradiction in some way, it is also not possible, as long as there is a life with knowledge that wants to reach the root cause, the corrective force in the direction called "inhibition force" will be activated.

"Yes, if the individual human being is completed, the meaning of survival will disappear, but all kinds of human beings unconsciously reject it only for the desire to survive, obviously living for the sake of completion, but refusing to complete it for the sake of survival."

Araya Zonglian stepped forward again and stepped out of the darkness, his voice becoming louder.

"The inhibition has been activated, and I have suppressed my actions to such an extent, but the inhibition is still activated. There is only one conclusion - that is, I have no talent. ”

For the first time, he made a voice with emotion.

"So, how about just giving up?" Mu Xiu tilted his head and said with an unchanged expression, "I think you are actually quite valuable, and you can leave a useful body...... Poof—"

The kimono girl didn't speak, but gave him a hard elbow next to her.

"Ahem, well, it looks like she doesn't agree."

“……”

“……”

"I can't understand and I can't identify with ......"

The magician shook his head vigorously, and with an unchanging look of hostility and a firm will, he spoke, "It took me ten years to find the colorless soul that was born directly from the root. ”

"But I still failed...... It's just that you have that kind of soul, right? And you've obviously come into contact with the origin and truth of the world, so if it were you, you would be able to answer my questions, right? ”

“……”

“……”

Faced with this question, Mu Xiu only frowned slightly for a while and did not answer.

It seemed that he would always have that dull look, and he raised a hand from under his black coat and slowly raised his left hand to shoulder height. Its palms flare weakly open, as if it were summoning someone from afar.

Not afraid, King Kong, snake and scorpion, Dai Tian, Ding Jing, Wang Xian.

The six enchantments appeared silently, which was the magician's spider silk set up between the ground and space, plane and three-dimensional, and three slender rings overlapped each other, floating between the ground and the air.

As if that's what he meant here, the two ceremonies poured power into the sword-wielding hands.

The air around him became tighter and tighter, and it could even be said to be frozen, with a sense of oppression that was distorted and dangerous by some force.
