The consciousness of the black ball probed into Bai He's mimic camouflage, and suddenly let out an extremely violent tremor, and a clear and unmistakable horror entered his perception, Bai He savored all kinds of frightened emotions coming out of the black ball, watching his tentacles move aimlessly in the mimic encirclement, and suddenly used his spiritual power to send out a line of sharp earth words:

"Don't disguise yourself! You're exposed. ”

Rumble!

A strong spiritual shock entered Shirakawa's consciousness, but the mimicry of the outer layer was still undamaged, and the black ball swelled under Shirakawa's observation, becoming active and full of attacking power.

However, this attack power is a little weak under the blockade of the White River.

The victory or defeat of the pure struggle of consciousness depends on the mental power, but the spiritual power is a very metaphysical thing, it is not quantifiable, and its strength is related to the various qualities of consciousness: whether the character is tenacious, whether the mind is fast, whether the will is firm, whether the bond is important, and so on. In many cases, a very reason can often lead to the Jedi reversal of a spiritual battle, and the power of a dying and struggling 'I can't die!' in a spiritual struggle is often immeasurable.

Once you enter a pure spiritual struggle, then the infinite confidence in yourself to survive to the end often becomes the key to victory or defeat, once a certain side is not enough to have this self-confidence, even if it has a huge advantage in the early stage, it will often lose.

Powerful creatures tend not to like mental struggles because there are too many variables and too sinister.

However, many people like controllable mental battles very much, such as the current White Dragon.

Bai He didn't know what level his spiritual power came from, and he wasn't sure if he would fight with others mentally under absolutely fair circumstances, but if he couldn't stand it, he would hang up.

He had fully confirmed that the Isis were completely incapable of perceiving the consciousness of the Flying Hydra mimicry in a purely spiritual situation, and the result of contact was confusion of mind.

He sensed that this was a problem with the mental structure of the Iss, who seemed to be extremely incapable of adapting to the neural structure of the Flying Hydra form, so there was no good way to deal with illusion mimicry at all.

However, being suppressed does not mean that there is no resistance, and when the Isis are huddled into a ball, Bai He and the Trisolarans are somewhat powerless against him. He stubbornly refused all of Shirakawa's calls, but when Shirakawa was lax in disguise for a long time, they would secretly revive and unleash their minds to release something else to the outside world.

Unable to break through the spiritual resistance of the Isis for a short time, Shirakawa tried to release some of these strange spiritual signals, and the result was an exploding cruise ship and a bunch of wailing souls that had been imprisoned. These signals are communications that call servants.

After a few battles of wits and courage, Shirakawa finally found the spiritual weakness of the Isis - after all, they are only a technological race, and although they are mentally strong and tough, they are not yet invincible. When the mimic spirit was constantly in contact with the consciousness of the Iss, Shirakawa found that the peripheral thinking system of the Isis was not very developed, to be precise, it did not match the level of technology possessed by these high-tech creatures, and it was easy to peel it off.

But the core of consciousness that surrounds these peripheral minds is terrifying.

Shirakawa could probably guess that this was the end result of the development of the Is's technology, and they fixed some 'concepts' into this core of consciousness to achieve a magical effect.

After some preparation, Shirakawa decided to use a spell to break down the outer spirit of the Iss, stripping this core out for himself.

Bai He is not presumptuous, according to the original description, the Isi people also need to use an instrument to return to their bodies, which is probably due to some kind of limitations, before they can help the White Dragon, this Isis people are in a state of being slaughtered, and there is considerable space and time for Baihe to operate.

Bai Long specially made a spell aimed at the spirit of the Isis people, adjusted it continuously for more than a month, and finally sent the self-consciousness of the Isi people into chaos after soaking it more than a dozen times, and successfully seized this spiritual core.

This action brought unexpected results, when the spiritual core was captured by Bai He's consciousness, a strange black heraldic appeared on half of Bai He's face, and the flesh gradually showed many creepy inhuman characteristics: some cracks as if a huge knife and axe were split appeared on the surface of his body, black transparent tentacles loomed in these wounds, black mist emerged from them, and a breathing sound was stretched countless times in the roaring sound, mixed with a terrifying cry as if it came from the void.

Bai He slightly flickered at what seemed to appear on his body in an instant, feeling the message transmitted in the core captured by his mind, and the look on his face suddenly became confused, suddenly awakened, suddenly confused, suddenly frightened, and finally transformed into a slightly confused understanding.

"Host, what exactly have you done, why do we feel a strange madness eating away at us? "The trisolarans in the parabrain sent out a frightened message, although the spirit of the Isis people disappeared, they did not relax because of the lightening of the task, but became more nervous.

"You're also contaminated?" asked Shirakawa, taking a cursory examination of the inside and outside of his body.

"Of course, host, if you don't find a way to solve the problem, within 10 days at most, our consciousness will begin to completely and irreversibly deform. The three-body man's voice was very urgent: "What are you doing?"

"Rest easy. Bai He was very sober, although madness also haunted his mind, but he seemed more calm: "My time limit is about the same as yours, if these crazy forces continue to grow within 10 days, I will irreversibly fall into madness, this is a normal thing, but it is really interesting, I probably know what is going on in this world?"

"Host, what did you find?" the Trisolaranist asked.

"I thought that a civilized race that rejected the power of magic and conquered time through research and technology would be a sober and rational race, but the result was ...... This conclusion really surprised me. ”

Bai He looked at the self-image reflected in the windowpane, and sighed in admiration.

"Host, what's wrong with this race?"

"Do you think that time travel is a real thing in your universe?"

"Hosts, which have different rules in different worlds, do not exist in our world, does not necessarily mean that they do not exist in other worlds. R1 said: "What's more, even in our world, the technology of the Trisolarans is not top-level, and they haven't even entered the door of the top-level civilization,"

"The real problem with time travel is that it can cause logical ruins, like the grandmother paradox. R2 adds, "Maybe people who can travel through time will find ways to interfere less with the past, but unless they're willing to do it as a mere ...... Observers who are reluctant to exert even physical influence, otherwise it will inevitably cause a butterfly effect, and IMHO, based on our guesses about the moral level of sapient beings, no race capable of time travel will guarantee that every member of their ability will have that kind of self-discipline. ”

"Then don't you wonder how the Isis managed to circumvent this logical sabotage?"

"We're curious, host, how do they know that you've absorbed their spirits?"

"Their observations of history are based on the theory that the Isis believe that the degree to which time travel interferes with history can be expressed by an index that they call the 'Iss index'. For example, if you go back to the past and step on a foot of sand, the result of this foot is likely to cause an earthquake hundreds of millions of years later to cause a slight change in the geological landscape due to local uneven mass, which will further make the city established by a civilization on the earthquake site look different from the original appearance of its history, so that a butterfly effect is formed, but the impact of this butterfly effect on macro history will take a long time to show its effect, and in the definition of the Is, this foot belongs to the low Iss index behavior。 Bai He disappeared and looked like a dark shadow, and he jumped down from the hotel: "In contrast to the actions of the Goyce index, such as the killing of a person who played a key role in the course of history, or the destruction of an event that was quite accidental but had a significant impact on history, the key process of history was subverted in a short period of time. ”

"Hmm~ So in the process of possible time travel, try to ensure that what you do is a low-index behavior, and avoid high-index behavior, so as to avoid destroying the logic?"

Yes, they base this set of theories on the historical process of the entire universe, so as to set the limit of the history of the universe ISS index, all their actions try to ensure that the sum of their sum is lower than this total index, which is a very high value - whether it is the rise and fall of a civilization, or a planet, even a galaxy, its influence between the universes is insignificant, for the entire universe, the behavior of the low ISS index often produces the butterfly effect after the destruction of the universe. Bai Hadao: "What do you think: how is this set of theories?"

“...... There is some truth to the analysis, but ......" R1 hesitated for a moment, as if after discussion: "We think this theory still seems very strange in many places. He doesn't seem to have fundamentally solved the problem of logical destruction, for example, if two Isis people travel at the same time, one first travels to a later era, and the other travels to a later era, there is a problem: any action of the latter may affect the history of the former's era, and if the timeline of the two individuals moves forward synchronously at the moment of crossing, how will the butterfly effect caused by the latter be reflected in the history of the former?

"There is no ......" Bai Hadao: "There is no description of this situation in their minds, they seem to follow the Iss index theory, and they are accustomed to freely exchanging consciousness with creatures in various planes and planes, and they don't care about the inconsistencies of time at all, such as their two great escapes." ”

"This ...... How is this possible? There must be contradictions, even a microsecond and a millisecond can cause a catastrophe, not to mention how often they travel through it?" R2 exclaimed, "How could this universe give them this phenomenon. ”

"So you see, the Isis themselves can't explain it, isn't it interesting that this universe allows them to use this ability?" Shirakawa laughed.

"Could it be that the universe spontaneously made up for their bugs?

"How did these branching universes come into being?Where did the matter that compose them come from?—— it's a whole universe, and the naïve materialist idea thinks that matter can't be born out of thin air or disappear out of thin air—maybe it's not accurate, but if we assume that these things can really come into being out of thin air, and even different parallel universes are hidden in dimensions that we can't observe, in what form do these dimensions exist? quantum form? If the Isis created the butterfly effect in history so repeatedly, how many branch universes would need to be opened? How can we use mathematical logic to describe these substances that are created out of thin air? An infinite number of parallel universes? Not to mention whether this statement is possible in the real world: do you think the creator of this universe ...... What pattern might be used to express this infinity? and, more importantly, the Isis firmly believe that what they are traversing is the real history!"

Bai He's eyes flashed: "You see, no matter how you explain it, time travel in a single universe will lead to situations that cannot be described by logic and may cause logical destruction. ”

"This ...... However, since the world allows the Isis to travel in time, there must be a mechanism that allows them to travel in this way without causing the world to collapse. ”

"That's the crux of the matter, how does the world do it?" Shirakawa walked down an alley, which made his shadow even more gloomy: "You just asked why the consciousness of the Isis became like this after assimilating it, in fact, the reason is very simple, R1, the core of this world is Lovecraft's 'unspeakable horror', and the causal logic destruction caused by time travel is completely in line with this theme. You see: underneath the seemingly rational and intelligent civilization of the Isis - this is what is hidden. ”

He raised a hand, and the transparent black tentacles in a crack swayed with teeth and claws: "Who gave them this power?"
