29. The Completion of Life Manual (II)

Reading the story titled "The Mountaineer", Fisher's mind seems to have crashed into a dark and deep universe.

Reading carefully, every word of this long poem seems to contain countless profound meanings, which will completely fill his brain.

But he didn't realize it at all, his gaze just moved slightly, and he looked at the note-like handwriting left by Earwind next to him, which was full of the former life secretary's thoughts on this long poem.

In Erwind's view, the first poem actually contains the secret of the concept of "rank". If you want to move up the ladder, you have to climb up the mountain, just like the mountaineer.

"The name of the first mountain is "Humanoid", and the distance traveled by the climber actually represents the exploration and mastery of the inner body, and the journey he has walked step by step is a new understanding of his own body, until he fully understands it and reaches the limit of life that human beings can reach.

"The name of the second mountain is [Extraordinary], which symbolizes the unimaginable power of ordinary people, beyond the ordinary laws of human beings, and also means to be far from the essence of human beings.

"The name of the third mountain is [mythology], and those places that are too powerful, unsightly, and hidden secrets are all put on the shelf by human beings with 'imagination', and it is difficult to even look at them. Otherworldly angels are stationed here, conveying a message of rejection to the climbers who arrive here. ”

"The ordinary way cannot pass through the door of mythology, and the only way God has refused to allow the humans at the foot of the mountain to reach here is to [bribe] the angels. This non-rule-abiding approach is very similar to the power of this completion manual, which is 'chaos'. The only way for humans to reach mythology is through Chaos, but the specific concept it asks for is worth pondering. ”

Beside him, Earwind's note was grim, stripping away the danger of chaos from Fisher's eyes, and he stepped out the hidden answers one by one, as if he had walked on a convenient road that had been trodden by his predecessors.

Mountains have a special meaning, they represent a part of one's body, so the mountain that the climber found was not somewhere in the world, but in his sleep at night.

Earwind and the original contributor to the Completion of Life Manual actually discussed the question of whether a human being can still be called a "human" if the essence of a human being is a species that lives at the foot of a mountain, and after climbing a second mountain in a row, if he does not even exist in human form and even has a changed structure?

Moving towards the second half of this long poem, the appearance of the climber changes more as the climb becomes more risky.

Before you know it, the mountaineer's thoughts are beginning to change.

"The body structure of human beings determines their thoughts and cognition, and the body structure of subhuman species also determines their culture and connotation. A mythical species with a high enough life rank will inevitably have a different way of understanding the world from a low-level creature. When a human person climbs up the ladder, when the human person undergoes various changes in order to adapt to the rank, his cognitive structure will inevitably change as well. ”

"If they are as powerful as the gods, those hidden in unknown corners of the world, the creators of this world, how do they look at the world, and look at us creatures?"

"Perhaps they see the world from a perspective far beyond the imagination of ordinary life, but it does not prevent them from creating the laws of life in this world. Just as humans nurture ants, ants may not be able to imagine how humans view them, but that does not prevent humans from punishing them or easily creating nests for them, providing them with materials, and changing the rules of the nest..."

"In the same way, if human beings climb as gods, then the misery of the world can be easily solved."

Through these words left by the other party, Fisher finally got a glimpse of what Earwin was thinking.

She doesn't really want to change the essence of being human, she just wants to climb, change from ants to humans, and then go back and solve all kinds of problems encountered by ants with the power of humans.

This is an ideal thing to do, and from Fisher's objective point of view, she cannot guarantee that she will succeed. Or even if she succeeds in the end and advances to become a god-like existence, how can she ensure that she can still be like an ant, thinking about what ants think and worry about what ants are worried about?

This in itself is a difficult question with no standard answer, and there are rebuttals and arguments anyway, but Earwind finally fell into practice, and although Fisher had to stop her from the position, this did not prevent Fisher from respecting her ideals in the slightest.

Earwin is indeed worthy of being a genius who ended a disaster a hundred years ago, and Fisher at this moment is like a student with the guidance of a famous teacher, with Earwind's accumulated records and thoughts, his progress is rapid, and he keeps up with the road she has walked at that time step by step.

This long poem actually provides a way for those who read the handbook to climb the ladder of life, and unlike the way that Yaren Niang completes the handbook and gives it directly, it is even more unaffected by the change of rules and is full of chaos.

Although the sub-human mother completed the manual and gave Fisher a stronger physique, Fisher's appearance has always maintained the appearance of a human, and this species that lives under the "foot of the mountain" is not theoretically designed for higher ranks, so even though Fisher's rank is theoretically high, he has not played the limits that this rank represents.

It's like a carriage that looks so luxurious that it can't be luxurious anymore but is pulled by an old mule, no matter how beautiful it looks, it can't run fast.

If he really wants to exert a power that is in line with the strength of his life rank, then he must change his form like Earwin and the mountaineer in the poem.

His gaze continued to read backwards, and his intense curiosity made him eagerly turn to the next few poems.

The next episode of "Left Hand" tells a very interesting story about a bodybuilding genius who is keen on exercising and is proud of his extremely conspicuous and beautiful muscles, but because of a congenital defect, the biceps in his left hand is much smaller than the right one, which makes him very concerned.

So, he began to exercise his left hand day after day, trying to make it as toned as his right.

Until one day, the left hand, which had been exercised for a long time, became conscious and began to question his master's idea of exercising his body too much.

The bodybuilding genius and highly developed left hand generated a heated debate, from the beginning of exercise-related topics to later history, science and esoteric philosophy...

The left hand was sluggish at first, and the bodybuilding genius couldn't refute anything, so he had to follow his instructions and start exercising.

But as it became more and more developed, even more developed than human beings, comparable to steel, comparable to the sun, his left hand thinking became more and more profound, and gradually refuted the owner of his left hand to the point that he had nothing to say, and even began to feel that life was meaningless, until finally he decided to commit suicide by drinking a bomb at the instigation of his left hand.

After the death of the bodybuilding genius, his still living left hand still shouted that his suicide method was wrong, and it was not the best solution for suicide.

An absurd long poem ends in this way, leaving a lingering rhyme like a black hole.

The third poem, "The Daughter," also tells the story of a mother who had high hopes for her daughter, and she wanted her daughter to be excellent, so she went out of her way to instill knowledge in her daughter.

With the long study, her daughter has become better and better, but she is still not satisfied.

She felt that her daughter was not beautiful enough, her eyes were not good enough, she was not tall enough, she could not jump far enough, she could not run fast enough...

She didn't know how she could give birth to such an embarrassing daughter, who was not good at anything but a fairly smart brain.

So, she changed her daughter's face, the eyes of an eagle, the neck of a giraffe, the legs of a kangaroo, the hind limbs of a cheetah...

Then, such a perfect daughter was born.

Countless inexplicable thoughts traveled through Fisher's mind along with the eyes of the long poems, but before he could discern their specific meanings, he could not wait to turn backwards to read the next poem, but instead of the last poem, he was caught by a large number of Earwind's notes and reflections.

"I have completely digested and applied all the previous knowledge, and I have reached the end of the second mountain range, but what puzzles me is that it is obviously a supplementary manual with the theme of [Life], but it makes it difficult for me to move forward in the things of the life level, and I have never been able to go further, and I cannot bribe the angels to finally reach the peak of mythology.

"What exactly does the "Arcanta" refer to in the verse, without which I would not be able to read the entire contents of the book; Without Arcana, I would not have been able to enter the Mythical Ranks, and I would not have been able to find a way to climb the Mythical Peaks. ”

This is the beginning, and it seems that all of Earwind's doubts and incomprehensions have been written.

Below this line of text, after a long distance, another line of text was written that she recorded,

"Maybe the creatures who have entered the mythical rank can help me think about the dilemma, the little girl named [Destiny] said that the only remaining mythical species in the world is the demon species hidden in the abyss and sealed by the mother god. I should search for the abyss of demons and study the nature of these demons to discover the answers. ”

Another blank passage, Goodbye Earwind wrote,

"I have temporarily settled in the cradle of the abyss' demonic dreams, and the demon acolytes and imps who live here are not a threat to me. During this time, I sampled the body of a demon god sleeping in the Demon God Pillar twenty-seven times and studied it one hundred and thirty times. The demon's power seemed to echo the completion manual in my hand, and I quickly found her sleeping body. I was intrigued by this, and I began to study the demon god named 'Agareth'. After research, I seem to have found a hint of the so-called 'treasure'."

……

"When I decided to take the final step and dissect Agareth's body without sampling, the research took a turn. Her long-dormant consciousness gradually awakened, and I discovered that I was studying her and stealing some of the power of her flesh, and even though she was sealed, the anger it generated made it difficult for the abyss to survive. I had no choice but to give up, give up my research, and leave the abyss. But she did provide me with interesting samples and knowledge, and also revealed the key to entering the mythical ranks, and perhaps deduced the meaning of Arcana. ”

……

"Because of what I did, Agareth's consciousness in the abyss has been completely awakened. Awakened from her slumber, she seems to have fallen into a rage, and is somehow hunting me down herself, perhaps sending other demon species or demon acolytes to hunt me down. For some reason, the chase was slow, allowing me to escape safely. However, I already know the meaning of 'Arcana', and after returning to the Western Continent, I am ready to start experimenting and making 'Arcanta' and advance to the Mythical Rank."

……

There was a large blank space in the middle, and when the handwriting appeared again, the excitement that Fisher could distinguish had vanished, and it had become a disappointment that had never been seen before,

"All of the experimental samples designed have failed, except for Saint-Nari's sample 'Anna', which is stable at the moment. However, the same is true of other samples in the early stage, and in the end, they still breed madness and instability, and no stable test has ever been born, and the success rate of 'Anna' is expected to be extremely low... To be honest, I had lost hope that the experiment would succeed and had more questions than ever before about the life-to-life completion manual I had. ”

"Is there a paradox in the Completion of Life Manual? Even a powerful mythical species like Agareth, which has a power similar to that of the completion manual, cannot fulfill the 'Arcana', so how can I succeed if I have not reached the mythology? Earlier, I had discovered from the Society of Creation that perhaps each person who completed the manual achieved a different path to the mythological rank, but in the end it could be called a myth. ”

"If the Life Completion Manual doesn't help me, can reading other Completion Manuals help me cross the threshold of 'Treasure of Life' and go straight to the Mythical Rank and finally complete the Life Completion Manual? Even though the president of the Society of Creation has expressly forbade members to read more than one completed manual. ”

What remains is a large blank space, and Earwind cherishes words like gold, no different from the first life secretary, one of whom has preserved forbidden knowledge in poetic fashion, while the other does not write in the completion of the manual except for a major discovery.

Until the text below reappeared, and this time, Earwind's text looked exceptionally new, as if the ink had not yet dried, and she had just written,

"The path of the Supreme Treasure is no longer advisable, the Creation Society is close to falling apart after the death of the Soul Secretary and the Death Queen, and the Soul Completion Manual is now in the hands of others, I have to consider whether this is my unique opportunity to enter the Mythical Rank and achieve my goal."

The myriad of knowledge that followed in the back of his mind and wanted to pour into Fisher's brain was temporarily left behind, and he only wanted to desperately explore forward, to satisfy his thirst for knowledge, to see the path that Earwynd had traveled for hundreds of years.

The record here came to an abrupt end, and he eagerly turned the pages and looked backwards into the fourth poem, "The Treasure."

But unexpectedly, nothing was written above.

Or rather, it's not that nothing is written, it's just that he can't see it.

The desire to learn is interrupted by a sudden blankness, and Fisher unconsciously senses dissatisfaction and wants to continue to explore backwards to find the real cause of his blankness.

But at that moment, a cold, hellish hand clenched one of his shoulders, and Earwind's trademark, male and female, voice rang out emotionlessly.

She said to Fisher in a calm voice,

"Fisher, you've gone too far."

"I..."

Hearing this, Fisher's mind suddenly froze, and his brain, which was wrapped in curiosity and kept moving forward, suddenly stopped at this moment. It was because of this short period of freshness that the madness and forbidden knowledge that he had read three long poems in the back also caught up with him at this moment.

Endless knowledge and content about life poured into his brain like a tsunami, engulfing him all.

After he discovered the mystery of the Completion of Life, his reason was shocked like never before.

"Not good!"

……

……

Fisher's precipice is only at the level of consciousness, at this moment, because of those chaotic forbidden knowledge, his consciousness seems to have lost the perception of the physical situation, and of course he does not know what is happening in reality now.

In the room, Emhart kept backing in fear, calling out to Fisher to no avail.

As a result, I could only watch as his human form melted little by little, and then expanded little by little with different forms, turning into a "viscous substance" with various strange organs.

"Fee... Fisher, don't do this... I... I'm afraid..."

"Gollum..."

But at this moment, Fisher no longer seemed to be able to respond to Emhart, he just kept struggling and twisting, and his body kept changing between human and non-human forms.

"Boom!"

It is to be expected that even if his body has changed due to the contamination of chaos, his rank is still a mythical rank.

"Fisher" slammed open the door of his room and rushed out under Emhardt's terrified eyes. His body was sticky, but there was no secretion, and it slid down the hallway like a smooth jelly, and its hundred and eighty large eyes kept looking in all directions.

"Damn, what if Jasmine and Rafael find out? What am I going to say?! Do you want to say this thing is your husband?! Fisher! Wait for me! ”

Emhardt's ghost rushed out with "Fisher", but luckily, as soon as he rushed out, Emhardt found him rushing towards the outside of the prayer tower, or rather, towards the edge of the dragon court.

As long as it's a place with few people!

The mythical "Fisher-chan" rushed all the way outward, and in the dark night, he was like a high-speed bowling ball, flying extremely fast without touching the ground, not knowing which way to go.

Emhart's book cover was almost smoking, and he almost couldn't keep up, not only to chase him, but also to try to calm him down,

"Look, Fisher! There's your favorite Asian girl on the side of the road! ”

"Gollum!"

Fisher didn't stop, he just kept flying forward, and a breaking sound in the night sky attracted the attention of the residents of the Dragon Court below, of course, their group of ordinary people couldn't see anything clearly in the night.

"Rafael and Jasmine are still in the Dragon Court, where are you going?"

"Gollum"

It didn't stop.

"Are you going to Valentina and Aragina? Don't go, you're going in the wrong direction, they're in the north! ”

"Gollum"

It didn't stop.

"Elizabeth isn't in this direction either, she's also in the north, stop! You're going the other way around! ”

"Purr."

This is useless too?

Emhardt was dumbfounded, and at this moment, he hesitated for a moment, and then, as if he had made some major decision.

Even if he was unwilling, reluctant, he still shouted to Fisher in front of him,

"Look, your Helel is there! It's Bymun, look! ”

“.”

Still non-stop??!!

Emhardt really couldn't help it, his tears were about to burst out,

"Stop, Fisher! Your mother, I told you not to read it, but if you don't listen, it's okay now, Made's become a ball! What can I do, woo woo! ”

"Woo, stop, Renee, I forgot that Renee was in front"

Emhardt couldn't fly, and he didn't have much hope, so he shouted from behind him weakly watching Fisher's back as he flew farther and farther away.

Unexpectedly, after he spoke, Fisher in front of him suddenly stiffened. He squirmed and trembled and stopped in place, and fell straight down to the ocean below.

"Damn, it's really useful!"

Emhart was immediately overjoyed when he saw this, and he didn't even breathe, and hurriedly flew after him.

At this moment, they had already flown out of the coastal defense line of the Dragon Court and came to a place about a few kilometers away from the coastline of the Dragon Court.

Below are sparsely populated a few "islands" of only a dozen square meters, or reefs that are protruding from the sea, and this "Fisher" is falling towards it.

"Boom!"

"Fisher!"

The eye-catching "Fisher Ball" smashed straight onto the reef of the ocean, and the huge impact caused the reef to shift slightly, making a huge explosion. Immediately afterward, Fisher bounced around the surface of the sea several times with great elasticity, accompanied by the blinking eyeballs of Zhou's body, and finally came to a stop at the edge of another reef.

"Gollum"

His body was still bubbling and there was an extremely strong aura of chaos all over his body, but for some reason, Emhart always felt that he was still sane, unlike the chaos he saw in mid-air in the Ideal Country.

"Fisher! Wow, I didn't expect me to lie to you that Renee is here and you really stopped, you value her so much. If I were Renee, seriously, I'd cry to death."

Emhart hurriedly flew in front of him, chattering and looking at him with great concern, trying to make sure he was okay.

"Hey, wait, what is this? Imprint? ”

After checking Emhart, he noticed that something was wrong, and he found that there seemed to be some sunken ∞ marks on the Fisher ball, and he didn't know where it came from.

Just when he was slightly stunned, above the dark sky, a huge full moon had already covered half of the sky at some point, lighting up all the originally dark and vast ocean.

The cold moonlight spread on the surface of the sea, completely dispelling the vague darkness.

Emhart looked up in a daze, only to find that at the end of the reef in front of him, the silhouette of a woman in a long black dress was already standing, vaguely as if she was emerging from another world, or the depths of the world.

In a few seconds, the shadows of the unseen human form became concrete, revealing a beautiful woman with long black hair like an older sister.

A faint fragrance rises from the sky, stopping the tide and making the years quiet.

Her gaze was anxious and worried, more than Emhart's.

"Relene? No, Mistress Renee?! You. Are you really here?! ”

Emhart looked at the figure that appeared stupidly, and blinked with one eye, and after a second, he realized that he really wasn't mistaken, and the person who appeared in front of him really was

"You get out of the way and let me see what's going on with him."

Renee didn't have time to talk to Emhart for the time being, and under the gaze of the cold moonlight on the sky, she hurriedly came to Fisher's side and looked at the irregularly shaped "limited edition Fisher",

"Gollum"

Asking for votes, tips, and support is very important to me!
