"The god of the unconscious... Crow? ”

Fisher keenly grasped the key words from the mouth of the Death Minister, and he soon realized that the death of this world was also an order constructed by a god like Dallasgon and Ramastia, but according to the words of the other party, this god was likely to be very special.

"That's right. Now that you have a rough understanding of these gods, you must know that the composition of this world is closely related to the gods, who construct the rules by which the world works, so that the world works in a predictable and stable way, and in this sense, all living beings created by the gods of all phases are born seekers of order..."

"The gods have exerted their respective powers, carefully constructed a perfect operating system for this world, the reproduction and iteration of life, the composition and nature of matter, the fate of measuring time and guidance, the ebb and flow of consciousness, everything is perfect, but if there is only these powers that I just mentioned, then the world will soon become lifeless because of the expansion... There is another important power that plays an extremely important role in this world, and that is the power that represents death and circulation. ”

"The gods follow the iron law that they must not rely on power to interfere with the operation of the world, because that will have serious consequences, no matter how much the gods care about something, they must never use the power that symbolizes their own power, and all the gods must abide by this iron law and let the world run according to the rules they set at the beginning. She is the end and starting point of all rules, and the key to the world's ability to form a sustainable cycle, so it is called the "ultimate of all things". ”

Death Qing took out another cigarette from his bosom and lit it, and as a puff of smoke was inhaled and spit out by him, his voice became a little hoarse.

"Death binds together the powers of all the gods, and death is the end of life that only knows how to give life, so that life and matter can be transformed into each other, so that the spirit and reality in the deep world continue to interact and change consciousness, and the fate of measuring time becomes meaningful... This is the eternal rule that the crow has set for the same effect as other gods. ”

Fisher thought for a moment, suddenly understood something, coughed a little, and said,

"Ahem... I probably understand what you mean, but according to what you said, "Gods must not rely on power to interfere in the operation of the world", and Hecrow is an unconscious god, does this mean that unlike other gods who are outside the operation of the world, she uses her power to intervene in the world all the time?"

Death curled the corners of her mouth and snapped her fingers,

"Yes, you're smart, Mr. Fisher, and that's what sets the ravens apart from the other gods. And the reason why she is so special must be attributed to the overly loving god of all aspects... The rules of extinction set by Hecrow are completely sufficient for the weaker level of living beings and materials, just like humans and other similar creatures, even if she does not use her power to interfere herself, we will still die after a hundred years. ”

But the god of all aspects has bestowed excessive kindness on some of the creatures she has created, and the only result is that they can resonate with the rules of this world to some extent and even distort them. For example, the phoenix species, which can sense the fate of the future, and the whale species, which can use the ability to bestow and curse, are not the abilities that normal life should have, they are beyond the norm. ”

And even if these are already quite good, the mythical creatures behind and the three beings of the higher level are even more heavyweight. They are powerful enough to twist and pervert the rules set by the gods. Their lives are entangled with their souls, and they become 'body and soul as one', their indescribably powerful power can easily annihilate matter and perish forever, time and fate are particularly dull in the face of their extraordinarily keen souls and senses, and their bodies are strong and healthy enough to live a long, long time free from the limitations of life..."

"Although the God of the Hundred Phases later woke up in time and placed a lock called [Reproduction] for all powerful beings except for the three more special beings, this is not enough."

As a result, He Yao personally blocked his consciousness and turned into the most terrifying existence in the world. She instinctively bestows an invincible, inevitable end on all living beings, and even if she doesn't have any sanity now, she can control all death in this world with precision by instinct alone. ”

Death Qing smiled slightly, compared a stepped appearance with his hand, and then continued,

"She gives them [corresponding death] strictly according to their rank, although in the eyes of the third party, the result of all living beings is death in the general sense, but you don't want to confuse the two concepts, because it is closely related to what I am going to say next, you are very smart, you should understand it very well, after all, I am drunk and my mind is not very clear, but I don't want to say it a second time."

】

"The so-called [corresponding death] means that in order to avoid wasting one's own power, and at the same time to prevent life from relying on its own strength to break free from death, the crow's instinct has set up a death escape range, which is about twenty levels higher than the racial life level given to the deceased individual. If you are a zero-rank human, then there are at least twenty levels of existence that can help you get rid of death, and you must have advanced means in this regard; If you are a fifteenth-order mythical creature, then the one that can help you get rid of death is the thirty-fifth... Ah, that level can already be compared to the gods, and it is directly ignored. ”

Fisher opened his mouth, his brow furrowed slightly, he followed Death's train of thought a little bit forward, and soon found a loophole, although the hope was slim, but it was indeed a loophole.

As a result, he was just about to speak, when the death secretary in front of him interrupted him with a cigarette,

"I know what you're thinking, you want to say that the level of life is not fixed, even humans can jump to the next level. So you guess that even if the probability is very small, if a human really jumps from the zero rank to the twentieth rank, will he be exempt from death soon? Hehe, it would be nice if the gods' plan could really be cracked so easily. In addition to the 'corresponding death' I just mentioned, Heya has other insurance..."

"First of all, the twenty levels of life level is a generalized concept defined by human beings, and its specific meaning is actually [the limit of living beings], in other words, if your level is higher than the zero level, only gods can help you avoid death; Secondly, don't you want to know why your rank has been falling off since you were targeted by death? If you can fight with Life Minister, then you can't be a zero-rank human magician, otherwise you will be gray if he blows his breath. ”

Hearing this, Fisher glanced down at the slender hands on his body, the skinny appearance was very different from his previous thirteenth-order body, and in front of him, Death's voice was still coming,

"Let me remind you again, this world is a world bound by rules, and any phenomenon is traceable... The reason why your life level will fall is because He Yao has long considered that life may achieve a level leap, so the pre-step in exercising the death power is to restore life to the [lowest level] of the race to which he belongs, and if it is a half-blood, the lowest value will be taken. ”

Fisher's Tong Kong shrank slightly, and the logic in his heart suddenly became clear, and Death Qing said what he was thinking at this time,

"Therefore, according to the power of the crow, your rank will first be reduced to the lowest rank of the human race, that is, the zero rank of the zero rank, and then the crow will give you the [death of the human race]; And the reason why you are still being chased by death and not dying is because you seem to have taken some kind of miraculous drug, which is constantly pushing your body to recover and raise your rank to the first rank..."

"The unconscious nature of the Raven is exposed, and she has been repeating the process of reducing your rank to zero, a process that will exponentially increase over time, until you can take any magic medicine in the world faster than she can reduce your rank, after which inevitable death will befall you."

"According to this death logic, as long as the gods don't intervene, even those few powerful beings of the twentieth rank will not be able to escape the pursuit of death..."

Hearing Death Qing's words, Fisher suddenly opened up, he gasped and looked down at his hands, countless countermeasures and thoughts kept colliding, and after a pause of two or three seconds, he looked up at Death Qing in front of him, who had half of the cigarette in his hand, and asked,

“... How do you know so much? And why are you exempt from death? ”

Death spread his hands with a cigarette in his mouth, looked at Fisher and said,

"To answer the latter question first, that is, I don't know why, I can only tell you about my experience."

"You know that the beliefs of the living beings are very complicated, most humans believe in the mother goddess, there are also people in the north who believe in the frost phoenix, and people in the southern continent believe in the god of Fermabaha Dragon... There are all these things, and there are even fewer of them who directly believe in the true God, such as the god of all appearances, the door, and so on..."

"And when I was young, I was ignorant, hundreds of small countries on the east side of the Western Continent were fighting every day, and like most people, I was displaced and had nowhere to eat, so I also joined a Death Order organization in the small eastern countries of Kado. What the fuck these guys believe is that it's the crow, the god who doesn't have an mind. The daily activities of the Order are all kinds of death, jumping off cliffs, self-immolation, hanging and everything, saying that they can reach the paradise they yearn for through death, and I follow them every day in it, thinking that they will die, at least they will take care of the food before they die..."

"Who would have thought that I would survive every time this kind of ritual was held, I thought I was lucky at first, but after a long time, the high-ranking leaders of the Death Order actually suspected that I was not sincere in my faith to avoid death, and wanted to execute me in public! They directly arranged for the knife and axe man to cut off my head, at that time I really thought it was over, but there was no way, let's die honestly... Who knows, after the 'card rub', my head flew out and flew back again! ”

Death Qing gestured with his palm while holding a cigarette and shouted,

"Guess what, the executioner was scared to death on the spot, and the leaders of the Order also ran all over and quit the church on the spot... Since then, I've found out that I seem to have become a very special existence, and the crow seems to have leaked me or something, anyway, I can't die... Then live well, but I can't live for a few years, it's so hard! ”

"All the people I knew in my hometown were killed by the soldiers of those small countries, the girl I liked was beaten to death by her husband after she got married, I stabbed him with a knife while crying, and then I was caught and killed by his family, and then I was alive again, I got up and beat his family again, and then I died again, and then I was alive again, and I stood up and beat the domestic servants under his family! Fight, fight, fight! I don't know how many times I've been fighting, but I've killed them all anyway, and I still can't die..."

Death Qing spit out the cigarette he had smoked and stepped on it, while lowering his head irritably and grabbing his hair, trying to tear his scalp off as hard,

"When I first knew I couldn't die, I was quite happy, I wanted to do everything, I had a lot of desires... Later, I found out that this is really tiring, and I can't die, so I am becoming more and more like those members of the Death Order, and all my wishes have become to return to the West as soon as possible. That's why I joined this Bird Society, got a copy of this Hellish Handbook, and learned a lot of things from the mouth of the boss in it, Destiny Qing, and strive to get out of the mortal world of suffering as soon as possible, which is why I can know so much, she told me..."

Death smiled mockingly, kicked the [Death Completion Manual] to the ground, and flipped the first few pages of the book on the ground, but in Fisher's eyes, there was no writing on it, because he was not yet the owner of the Death Completion Manual,

"I have been looking forward to it for a long time, and the first page of this ghost manual is, 'This manual will teach you to get rid of the mystery of death'... Hehe, I'm speechless. Swindle! It's a fucking scam! I'm being played around like a monkey by that dead woman called Destiny Qing! This time, she said that you may have a death rune on your hand, an item that can give absolute death, even if you have already used it, you will most likely get clues related to death later, so I came. ”

In other words, Death Qing doesn't know how she is exempt from death, but it is likely that the crow is wrong, because the crow is the most unique and self-aware god, so she should not have special care for a life, etc., the only possible reason is that someone else intervened.

At the same time, Fisher's brain, which had been a little lazy from death, was running at full speed again, and he suddenly realized that there was a problem.

Elliog said that the death rune was made by the demon god Agares, and according to her vague description, the demon seemed to have directly stolen a small part of the crow's authority to carry out death...

So the question is, the demons are all locked under the abyss, their strength is severely limited, even Elliog can only walk in the world with a fourteenth-order soul, and in the description of the Death Emperor, the authority of the crow is very difficult to resist, and it is impossible for Agareth to maintain the state of his heyday, how can he steal death and make it into death runes?

The only possibility is that there are other people in the abyss who have helped him, such as the true mythical creature who escaped the reckoning of the war and still walks the world, Baimon. However, Baimeng is only nineteenth rank, can he do such a thing?

The topic once again returned to the demon species that had caused Emhart's deep fear, and Fisher suddenly remembered the events in the north before, did she calculate the phoenix species and form the pedestal?

But Fisher vaguely felt that something was wrong, for example, why did Baimeng give the painting to the Moon Princess, was it really just to dissipate the Moon Princess's anger? What is the deep logic and purpose of Baimon taking the pedestal, she has been hiding in the Turan family for so many years, it is impossible for her to do nothing, otherwise where did the strange dream magic created by Valentina's mother come from?

It was between these simple words of thought that he finally realized for the first time what kind of terrifying existence the demon god Baimeng that made Emhart so frightened that he couldn't do it, he didn't come up with any answers, without a decent clue to support, he couldn't even catch a little eyebrows, so he had to temporarily put his thoughts back to the predicament in front of him,

"Ahem... So, the death that is in effect for me now is for humans, and I can get rid of it as long as I find an existence that has reached the twentieth level, right? ”

Death Qing raised his head and said in a dumb voice,

"Yes, and it's about being proficient in this way, this is what Destiny Qing and I have repeatedly emphasized, and she seems to have known that we will have such a conversation... Anyway, if you encounter such an existence in the future, can you help me ask him if he can send me away? Or, if you meet the person who made the death rune, can you help me ask if he can make another one to send me away? ”

Fisher pinched his eyebrows speechlessly, I don't know if it's an illusion, this guy has drunk so much wine and now it seems that he is starting to get on his head, and this guy seems to have no other functions except for being exempted from death, and it is no different from any other human.

At this moment, he thought again of what Earwin had said to himself before he died, to be careful with the Society of Creation, and he paused for a moment before asking,

"By the way, can you tell me everything you know about the Creation Society? This should be allowed by the fateful secretary, right? ”

"Uh-huh, it's nothing anyway..."

Death Qing pursed his lips, compared to the topic of death before, he seemed a little lacking in interest at this time,

"I can't reveal the location of the headquarters of the Society, Destiny Qing told me that you will know when the time comes, the situation inside is also very simple, there are very few real members in the headquarters, and they are generally acting and studying separately outside, occasionally holding a meeting remotely or something. In addition to them, there are also some scholars in the society who have secretly joined us, who have not completed the manual, except for the Secretary of Destiny, they only communicate and cooperate with the corresponding seats individually. ”

"The seats will reserve some achievements in the headquarters, and every time the seats outside die, and when they go to an unknown place after completing the manual change, they will be recovered by the Secretary of Destiny; If the manual is already bound, then she will invite those people to join the society. However, since you started killing people and taking treasures, and the Secretary of Life betrayed the Society and exposed the research of the Society to the eyes of the living beings, there have been very few people in the Society to communicate, only the Secretary of Fate and the Cardinal. ”

Hearing Death's complaint about "killing people and seizing treasures", Fisher was a little speechless, not knowing what kind of image he was in his eyes.

"Cardinal? He's alive? ”

"Almost, or maybe he never lived? He has always lived in the cardinal, and he was able to communicate with me fluently before, but since the life secretary did it to him, he doesn't know me anymore, he only knows the fate secretary, he has become stupid, and he will take the initiative to help me sweep the floor... Destiny Qing said that he still needs to [study] again if he recovers, I don't think he is a real person, and he hasn't finished the manual..."

"So, what about the Magic Secretary?"

As he spoke, he paused slightly after hearing Fisher's words, he tapped his temple and then shook his head, and said to Fisher,

"I've heard this name from Destiny Qing, she said that the Magic Secretary is the founder of our Creation Society and the former president, but she has been missing for a long time with the magic supplement manual, and I don't know where she went... By the way, I almost forgot if you didn't ask, and fate asked me to bring you some clues about the previous president, and you might be able to use it later. ”

"She said that Magic Qing's real name is 'Karasawa あすか' (Karasawa Asuka), and she is a woman with black hair and black eyes, and her appearance is different from that of Kadu, and her face is softer and beautiful..."

The pronunciation of "Karasawa あすか" is a string of words that Fisher was extremely familiar with, and this string of words Fisher had been reminded of when he was in a desperate situation in the plane tree, and when he pronounced the name, the ring of the dream magic he cast began to rise at an extremely terrifying rate, until everyone including the pedestal was enveloped in it.

It turns out that this is the real name of the person who created the transfer of the Creation Society, and if I remember correctly, the female voice who opened her mouth to remind her of this name was the person who spoke to Emhardt, that is, Baimon, who was also related to the Magic Secretary?

Wait, Bymon again?

How did she get involved with the Magician of the Creation Society again?

Fisher, who was weak, had a terrible headache, and could not think of a role that Bymon played in such a thing, so he had to keep her in mind for the time being.

"Okay, what I know has been told to you, and I can't help me with any unlucky things after that, if you have magical powers, take care of it, just don't forget that if you find a way to make me die, don't forget me, this is my phone... Hey, aren't you a magician, can you carve a messenger or something? ”

Fisher glanced at his current weak appearance, and let him engrave magic again, he was really going to die on the spot, Death Qing pursed his lips in disappointment when he saw this, stood up with a staggering body full of wine, and waved his hand at Fisher,

"Then forget it... Belch. You can just put away the phone, and we'll see you again later, but I just hope that we won't be so unlucky at that time, you can't live, I want to die... Haha, goodbye, Mr. Fisher. ”

Death hunched over the table and chair next to her, slowly moving her steps outside, until she pushed open the door and slowly disappeared in the snow.

Fisher, who was in the church and was pressed by death, was coughed again by the cold wind that opened the door, he covered his mouth, and Emhart in his arms immediately flew out again, obviously he heard everything that Death had just said,

"Oh my God, this is the first time I've ever known of such an amazing thing, Hey... Wait, what is the Creation Society you just talked about, and why do you know so much? And it's great that you have hope of living too! ”

"Mr. Fisher, is he gone?"

“... Temporarily. ”

Yin Luosi, who went up to hide on the second floor, heard the sound of the door opening below and walked down cautiously, opening her mouth as well. But Fisher didn't say much, just kept thinking about it, as if behind him, an indelible problem was plaguing him like a shadow.

The giant bell on the second floor of the Church of Healing Decay had come to ring again, and it exploded into a dull bass in the cold ice and snow.

"Winter! Winter! Winter! ”
