Chapter 470: Three Worlds, Two Roads
"Humph! In "Normal World", Casto himself secretly built such an alternate world in the room, what did he want to do? Does he really think that we would want to live in a so-called normal world? ”
Keigo Masaki looked at the materials on Casto's desk, and then silently looked at Kirino beside him, some things are so outrageous, even though Keigo Masaki is the premier genius on this earth, and maybe even in this universe, but for the concept of 'normal world', he still needs to seek answers from others.
It stands to reason that Masaki Keigo was able to deduce what an 'ordinary' world was like just by using his super brain, but I don't know why, Masaki Keigo just felt that he couldn't imagine the existence of such a world, and those ultra-ancient memories that had been ingrained in his mind since he was a child made him unable to calm down and look at such a possibility objectively.
Kirino noticed Keigo Masaki's eyes, and also noticed Keigo Masaki's emotional struggle, but he just sighed, and then shook his head, "I don't know, like you, I'm not so sure what a person's so-called normal world looks like"
Compared with Masaki Keigo, Kirino's expression is not so struggling, although it is also 'born' alternative, but Kirino has a huge difference compared with Masaki Keigo, that is, Masaki Keigo has recognized since he was a child, and accepted his extraordinary,
Kirino is different, even though he has given up on integrating into human society, he still retains that hope in his heart, he hopes that he can live in an 'ordinary' world.
Facing Masaki Keigo's gaze, Kirino took a deep breath, and then slowly said what was in his heart, "Masaki Keigo, even a man like you, in the deepest part of his heart, must have fantasized about such a world, right?" ”
You can show your talent and truly realize the great vision in your mind: "Without worry, you can lead humanity with all your heart." ”
Under the leadership of Sawai and the TPC he founded, humans of different colors were able to unite and move together towards the goal of utopia without thinking about even a second of battle.
For the so-called aliens, it will take us an unknown number of years to figure out whether they exist or not.
There is no such thing as light, there is no such thing as darkness, everything is just the most basic physics, and human beings do not have to think about the routes that we are not good at at all.
We just need to follow the steps, according to the kind of worldview we are born with, to build the world in our minds little by little. ”
Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment, his face was written with incredulity, he didn't expect Kirino, a guy who once became a marginal person in society, to say such a long paragraph to him, with a hint of romanticism,
But soon, Keigo Masaki remembered that although Kirino had been a marginal person in society for a long time, he had never given up absorbing knowledge and wisdom from the long history and society of mankind.
Playing Kirino's words back in his mind, Keigo Masaki suddenly felt a sense of absurdity, because, he remembered, when he was very young, when he didn't know what the dreams he was doing, he seemed to have thought about leading humanity forward in a way that was acceptable to everyone.
And it seems that it's not just him, that guy Dagu, no, even those people on the victory team still want an ordinary world more, compared to the daily life that is now called elite, they seem to be more eager to be ordinary people and live the life that only ordinary people have.
Keigo Masaki has never thought deeply about this problem.,Before that,Keigo Masaki was full of incomprehension about this idea of the victory team.,Yes,It's not the ridicule that Keigo Masaki often has.,But a real incomprehension.,
He didn't understand why those Victory Team guys, who had now gained the resources of such a position by fighting those strange enemies and events, were still full of rejection and disgust for such days.
In Masaki Keigo's heart, although the people of the victory team are not bad, but without the so-called supernatural events, the so-called monsters and cosmic people, and the so-called dark rulers, they would never have reached the heights they are now in their lifetimes.
However, just now, with Kirino's words, Keigo Masaki felt as if he was suddenly able to understand the thoughts of these people in the victory team.
Keigo Masaki himself understands what kind of person he is, but he has never tried to look at himself from such an angle.
As a person who has been living with ultra-ancient nightmares for the first half of his life, Keigo Masaki has long forgotten what the life of a so-called normal person is like, and even, he feels that he may have never experienced what it means to be a normal person.
Perhaps, for those on the victory team, for those in Kirino, a world that is completely free of any transcendent natural events is what they want, because in that world, human beings can not worry about unknown threats that may appear at any time.
I don't know why, a sentence suddenly flashed in Masaki Keigo's mind, the oldest human emotion is fear, and the oldest and strongest fear is the fear of the unknown.
Keigo Masaki, who had felt the fear of the unknown from those ultra-ancient memories and those terrifying nightmares, suddenly felt as if he could understand where the rejection of ordinary people from the current society came from, human beings can accept all the failures and sufferings within their cognitive range, but human beings can't adapt, the enemies that may appear at every moment, beyond human imagination,
Thinking of this, Masaki Keigo frowned, he wanted to say something, but Kirino had already adjusted his state first, and said in advance,
"I didn't expect Casto to be able to imagine a world that he didn't understand, you should understand, Keigo Masaki, just like ordinary people don't understand our world, we can't really understand theirs." His expression was a little serious,
"Of course, if combined with Casto's ability to connect with parallel space isotopes, such a result is not impossible, as long as he has seen enough worlds, he can naturally find a way to understand the world that is logical, but can jump out of his own cognitive range, this is not a gap in ability, this is a gap in experience."
"But the question is, if Casto can do all this, why would he take the time to build such a world?"
"Did you notice some of the callouts above? He even set the constants of the universe to be randomly generated by the universe, which means that he not only gave up those supernatural and so-called cosmic people, he even gave up the will of the universe and the planets, why did he have nothing to do such a thing? ”
Listening to Kirino's question, Masaki Keigo picked up the material called 'Normal World' that Casto had set up, and flipped through it repeatedly, he turned to the part about the social system, and suddenly asked with some uncertainty, "Kirino, if there are no supernatural events in a world, then can Sawai still establish TPC?" ”
"I don't know about the rest of the world, but in the world we know, Keigo Masaki should be able to understand even if someone like you has almost zero political wisdom, TPC was never established because of monsters, but because of Director Sawai"
Although Masaki Keigo was a little dissatisfied with the fact that a marginal person like Kirino evaluated him as having zero 'political wisdom', he did not refute it, but nodded silently after thinking about it, while Kirino continued,
"Director Sawai's establishment of TPC is indeed related to the emergence of supernatural events, but it's not that simple, after the Cold War, the world longed for a more advanced human society, and Director Sawai just seized this opportunity, and this opportunity is full of uncertainty."
"In a sense, your question even has a logical problem itself, and you shouldn't ask if Director Sawai can establish a TPC if there is no paranormal event, because if you do it all over again, even Director Sawai himself may not be able to give a definite answer."
Keigo Masaki snorted coldly, he understood that he might not be able to do what Sawai did in his life, at least in the establishment of TPC, only Sawai in the world could do it, and even he himself could not repeat this great historical process,
Thinking of this, Keigo Masaki suddenly took out the PDI and began to scan the documents in hand, "Send it to that old man in Sawai, maybe he can see more things from it." ”
Kirino shook his head, Keigo Masaki was obviously special, a genius, and an important resource in the human society they were in, but compared to Sawai, Keigo Masaki was not so indispensable.
The question of who is greater Marx or Einstein has different answers in the eyes of different people, but it is clear that in the eyes of someone like Kirino, who had a tragic childhood, the former is far more important than the latter.
Kirino suddenly realized that the world they were in actually had countless miracles, originally he thought that the light that appeared in human society in opposition to darkness was enough to represent miracles, but now he suddenly felt that maybe the appearance of Sawai was the difference between their world and other universes and earths.
Just as Kirino's thoughts were becoming more and more divergent, Keigo Masaki had already reached out and began to look at the other materials on Casto's desk.
Right next to this "Normal World", there are two other documents that look similar, and unlike the previous one full of annotations, the remaining two documents don't seem to have as many annotations, and even, in many directions, they don't seem to be very different.
But Masaki Keigo quickly noticed the difference in the world described in these two documents, and then he was stunned, because in one of the documents, Castor's figure seemed to be missing, Masaki Keigo glanced at it roughly, and then his expression suddenly became ugly, because in this record, he seemed to finally stand on the opposite side of the human world because of psychological pressure.
After thinking about it, Keigo Masaki used PDI again to start scanning the two documents, and this time he didn't just scan them, after a few operations on the PDI, he silently and remotely used the supercomputer to start the simulation, "Analyze the two documents, and then simulate whether the world would develop according to the description above without Casto." ”
"Already entered. The data being analyzed is too large to start the quantum computer that Hiroya Fujinomiya left behind."
Keigo Masaki frowned, silently waiting for the results of the simulation to appear, he didn't notice it at all, right next to him, Kirino's expression suddenly became a little strange, just when the progress of the computer simulation on PDI was about to come to an end, Kirino suddenly spoke silently, "Although it's not appropriate to say that. But Keigo Masaki, I have to tell you one thing, and that is that even without supercomputer simulations, I can be sure that you will end up on the opposite side of humanity as Castor wrote. ”
"Do you know what you're talking about?! I'm Keigo Masaki! ”
"I know, because it seems like I helped Castor put it together." The corners of Kirino's mouth twitched, "I once sorted out the world I predicted with Castor, it should be the future of a parallel world without him, and in that future, you Keigo Masaki became"
Before Kirino's words were finished, PDI began to broadcast, "The fit between the record and simulation is more than 90%, and the fit for the simulation of Keigo Masaki is as high as 12%."
"One hundred and two percent? Why is there an extra part? Kirino was also stunned for a moment.
The corners of Masaki Keigo's mouth twitched, and then he said with some uncertainty, "Maybe in the simulated world, there is one of them that I have stood on the opposite side of the human world twice."
Kirino looked at Keigo Masaki's hideous face, silently took a step back, then took a deep breath, and said seriously, "If we can't see anything in the previous description of the so-called "Normal World", then now that we combine these two documents, we should be able to see something."
"Humph! Obviously, Casto felt that the current world was too tight, and he compared "The Normal World", "The World Without Him" and "The Real World" to try to find some ways to improve them" Keigo Masaki stacked the three documents on top of each other and said, "However, this artificial way is too backward, isn't it?" He could have asked for my help if he wanted to"
Kirino shook his head, "That's probably the problem, he doesn't want Keigo Masaki to know what he's thinking, even though your cooperation can change a lot of things." ”
"Hmph, tell me why?!" Masaki Keigo snorted coldly, but after humming, he didn't speak for a long time, and finally he could only throw out his questions.
"Don't tell me, it's because without him Casto, I will go to the opposite side of human society, and he will not let me make any radical moves if he gives me this information, because I know that I will not go to the opposite side of human society now."
Kirino nodded, was silent for a moment, and then said, "Now you, at least standing next to me, you will not go to the opposite side of mankind, I can be sure of this matter, and I can even vouch for you."
"So the reason why Casto is reluctant to look for you is not here." Kirino looked Masaki Keigo in the eye and said, "Casto actually discussed some things with me, and I don't believe he will discuss them with you, not because he doesn't believe you, but simply because you can't understand what he's saying."
"Do you think you now understand why the Victory Team wants to repel the supernatural enemy?" Kirino said to Keigo Masaki, "You must not have understood that it was those monsters that brought them to such a pivotal position to humanity now, and they should not reject the current society."
"However, you seem to have changed a little bit just now, you may feel that their hearts are full of that kind of rejection and resistance to food such as fear of the unknown, do you think that's why they want to be ordinary people?"
"Humph! Isn't that so? ”
"Of course not! There aren't that many twists and turns! Kirino said seriously to Keigo Masaki, "Including me, everyone just wants to have a world where there are no monsters, peaceful, and belonging to ordinary people. It's as simple as that, it's our instinctive reaction. ”
Masaki Keigo was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes fell on Casto's three documents, and his expression suddenly became serious, "So, Casto also hopes to be able to live in one. He wants the world."
"I don't know, but maybe so." Kirino nodded, then asked, "But the question is, why would Castor spend his time on something impossible?" ”
"Everyone knows that things that have passed are impossible to change, the misfortunes of my childhood, Casto's past, the entanglement between Keigo Masaki and the ultra-ancient civilization, and everything, it is impossible to change what has happened, no matter how much Kasto compares, it is just a literal imagination."
Kirino felt that he was talking about very simple logic, but to his surprise, Keigo Masaki shook his head, "I admit that changing the past sounds a bit outrageous, but it's not completely impossible, and besides, after I learned about the existence of parallel worlds, I think this possibility is getting bigger and bigger." ”
"Wait?! Damn, how did I forget that guy! Keigo Masaki suddenly turned his head and said uncertainly, "Torrecchia! Damn, that guy has that ability, and he's gone now! ”
"Do you think that Casto asked Torrecchia to go back in time and consume his own existence?" Kirino's eyes widened, "Impossible! Even if I don't know what time is not time, it obviously doesn't work logically for a person to let someone else go back and kill himself. ”
"Normally, this does not work logically, but you were not there at the time, so you don't know that in the other dimension where the Kiri Elrodians are located, there is really a god, and it seems that a new god can be cultivated, according to Torrecchia, a new god, most likely means a new order."
"The god of the Kiri Elrods??"
Kirino was stunned for a moment, then recalled the previous meeting with Castor, and said in a trembling voice, "Wait, I seem to know." ”
"We all thought that Casto would either choose a parallel universe and give up this world, or he would give up his parallel universe and bear the pressure of this world."
"But we've all overlooked, what if Casto chooses to do both, and he wants to protect this world and the rest of the universe at the same time?"
"If two things need him to exist at the same time, and he simply can't spare the time and energy to do two things at the same time, then he actually has a choice, which is to completely solve one of them once and for all, for example. If the world had never had him Casto. Even, if there had never been supernatural events in this world, then all the problems would not exist. ”
Keigo Masaki frowned, "Let me think about it, don't talk yet." ”
"The events of that night actually happened because of Casto, no matter what his purpose was, but in fact, whether it was the rebel groups, or the monsters that awakened and rioted everywhere, and even the gates of hell, they all had a close relationship with him."
And on the same night, he realized that in other universes, there are still some of his parallel space-time isotopes, which are struggling to survive, protecting the world while being alone and enduring the pain of battle.
"He must have been entangled for a long time, I don't know if he has communicated with other parallel world selves, but he must have been thinking about these things for a long time."
"He probably realized that the world had become very tight because of him, and that the world had changed a lot because he had looked so much better, but it hadn't changed in essence."
"I don't know what his logic is, but in short, he came to the conclusion that everything he does in this world may be meaningless."
"If it is based on such a conclusion, then all of Casto's actions can be understood, he does not intend to carry the world alone, but intends to give this world to us with confidence, and then erase his existence from this world."
"As you said, such a plan would not normally succeed, but it was such a coincidence that a new god appeared, and I don't know what the so-called god can do, whether it will erase his existence, or whether it can do more, in short, it is likely that Castor and Torrecchia have reached some kind of agreement."
"And along this line of thought, Casto may have thought of more things, for example, if the power of that god can really do more, then why didn't he just let that god help him remove all the supernatural forces in the universe."
"It seems to make sense, even if it doesn't, if it's Casto. It may also make sense. Kirino made his own judgment, but soon, he frowned again,
"The only question is, is that god of the Kiri Elrod really that powerful? Can even rewrite the so-called order of the universe? ”
"I don't know." Keigo Masaki shook his head, he looked at the information on Casto's desk, "I don't know much about that god of the Kiri Elrod people, and even Casto himself doesn't know much, the only one who has some understanding of this existence is Torrecchia, and he doesn't seem to be on our side right now." ”
"And who else might know some relevant information?"
Keigo Masaki and Kirino glanced at each other, and a name flashed in their minds at the same time, and at this moment, Keigo Masaki's PDI also rang, and Megumi Mizuma's voice came from inside,
"Keigo Masaki, Kirino, Shinya Mizoro and the witch have arrived at the base, I'm waiting for you in my office"
"Okay, we happen to have some discoveries and need to confirm with them."
Dozens of minutes later, in Megumi Kuruma's office, Mizoro Kijin also had a serious expression, while the witch was wide-eyed.
"Well, do you two have any idea about the limits of that so-called divine power?" Keigo Masaki asked.
The witch opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "I don't know, the so-called gods in the mouth of our Kiri Elrod have not actually appeared, they only exist in our legends, but"
"The wings that appeared behind that egg before, if I'm not mistaken, are supposed to be a projection of some kind of high-dimensional life form within the gates of hell for some insignificant force."
After speaking, the witch pointed at Masaki Keigo, "How powerful that power is, you were also on the scene at the time, you should know it, right?" ”
"Humph! I guessed it, it was a force that even Torrecchia feared. Keigo Masaki said solemnly, "When that wing appeared, Dark Lucifer and Torrecchia appeared at the same time, a very obvious and large stress reaction, if I guessed correctly, it should be some kind of most powerful force located in the universe."
"I may vaguely understand what power you are talking about in that wing." Mizoro Mujin, who thought he was just here to make soy sauce, suddenly spoke, and as he spoke, he took out his transformation device, and the people around him looked at him, not knowing what this visitor from other universes was going to say,
"You should know that I have wandered in the darkness and light, and I am not very willing to dwell on it, but it does have to do with the wings in your mouth."
Mizolu Mujin also took a deep breath and said seriously,
"Captain Megumi Kuma, in fact, I don't want to come to TPC, in addition to some of the mistakes I have made, there is another reason, that is, I used to be a member of the Night Raid Team, and the Night Raid Team is equivalent to the victory team in our world."
"Although not all the people in the victory team are born with light, but Keigo Masaki, you should be able to see that they actually have the possibility of blooming light in their bodies, and I, like them, used to have such a possibility, and even, I was chosen by the light."
"You mean, you were consciously chosen?"
"You can understand it that way." Mizoro Mujin also nodded and looked at Masaki Keigo, "It's as if you were chosen by the light of the super ancient civilization, and the light of that ruin also chose me, and I became the adaptable person of that generation, that is, the human body in your mouth." ”
"And, indeed, I was on the verge of becoming the Light, but as you should all know, I ended up going astray and becoming a member of the darkness, and then after being defeated by the light, I repented and became the light again, no, I almost completely dissipated as a light in the end."
"You can understand that when I first came into contact with the Light, I was actually me, and I didn't know anything about the owner of the wings you call at that time.
But, at the very moment when I was about to die, I was essentially a part of his power, because at that moment, I not only became the fittest, but I was also qualified to begin to pass on as the light, and it was at that moment that I vaguely saw the master of the wings that you just mentioned. ”
"What kind of existence is that?" Kirino asked.
"Let me give you an analogy, when I disappeared as a light, I actually had the power of any giant of light." Mizoro Mujin also sighed, "Although I turned from darkness to light, at that moment, I did meet all the definitions of light, so I became a qualified giant of light." ”
"However, when I dissipated, I felt an ancient and huge existence, for example, at that moment, I felt as if I was a drop in the water cycle, and the owner of the wings was like a vast ocean, he was not only big, but ancient, inclusive, and profound."
Mizoro Mujinya's metaphor successfully made Masaki Keigo and others have a clear understanding of the master behind the wings, and Masaki Keigo also understood why when he was at the gate of hell, whether it was Torrecchia or Dark Lucifer, the moment they saw that wing, they would have such a big reaction.
Dark Lucifer and Torrecchia are very strong only in terms of energy density, which Masaki Keigo knows, but compared to the ocean in Mizoro Mujinya's mouth, they are at most two stinky water ditches, even if they are very harmful to ordinary rivers, but in the face of the vast ocean, their existence can be said to be not worth mentioning.
"So, if that wing really appeared behind that newborn god," Mizoru Kijin also looked at Keigo Masaki, "If your description is accurate, then I wouldn't be surprised by the possibilities of that guy." ”
Everyone present nodded slowly, if there is really such a super boss in the 'light camp', then it is not too much to guess the limit of his ability according to God, and if the god of the Kiri Elrod people is taken away by this existence, then the prediction of the limit of this god's ability does need to be greatly increased,
Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Keigo Masaki asked, "So Casto is the same as you, does his power also come from this existence?" That's why he wants to protect himself in other universes? ”
Mizoro Kijin was also stunned for a moment, and then shook his head as if he had heard some joke, "So, I am different from you in my judgment of Castor, because only I understand what kind of person the suitables of the light are,
You don't know, all the fitables I've ever seen, even the first one who is not yet 'mature' in conjunction with the Light, are very crazy, they are ready to give their lives for their ideals, and in their worldview, their own lives are the least important thing. ”
"Theoretically, I don't think Castor will be divided into protecting himself in other universes, because for the fittest, such behavior is meaningless, it is not in line with their philosophy, facing the crisis around them, and then fighting them until the last moment, this is their style,
Of course, Casto is somewhat different, but I believe that his difference is definitely not that he will give up the enemies in front of him in order to protect himself in other universes, but that he will do his best to choose and protect all those he can see."
Keigo Masaki noticed that when talking about this kind of light that has been passed down from generation to generation, there was a rare hint of pride in Mizoro Ki Shinya's eyes.
But soon, Mizoro Mujin shook his head and looked at the others again, "I think your inference about Kasto's behavior is wrong, and your inference is too taken for granted. ”
"First of all, it is not a realistic thing to eliminate the existence of a person, and even if it can be done, I believe that the owner of that wing will not allow this to happen, because the impact of this matter is likely to affect multiple universes, if not all universes."
"Secondly." Mizoro Kijin also looked at Masaki Keigo, "Do you think that with that guy Torrecchia, you can take back the egg in your mouth from the hands of the owner of the wings?" ”
"I admit it, Torrecchia is very powerful, he is basically the most special existence of any life form I know, and the Chaos God Grimd sealed in his body, according to his description, even has a longer history of existence than the owner of the wings,
But that doesn't mean anything, the universe is no longer a time of chaos, and as someone who has served as both a dark and a light adaptor, I know this better than anyone else.
This is a conclusion that requires you to abandon your preconceived notions, that is, the universe has now entered the age of 'light and darkness', just as the Bronze Age was followed by the Iron Age, and no matter how good the bronze is, it cannot be compared with the steel that has been tempered for thousands of years. ”
"If you want me to see, you just don't understand the fit." Mizoro Mujin also speculated, "What do you say he wants to eliminate his existence?" And to transform the world into a world free of any supernatural phenomena. ”
"Let's put it this way, even if there is no supernatural power in the world, but the cosmic people always exist, at least the existence of earthlings means that there are still life forms in the universe, so the cosmic people must exist, right?"
"In this case, there can't be only one evolutionary route between different civilizations, right, and since there are different evolutionary routes, how can you say that the supernatural evolutionary route is wrong, and the evolution of technology is right?"
"But doesn't the fact that Casto himself has constructed a world free of the supernatural not say anything about his inclination?" The witch spoke.
"You also said that the world he built was named "Normal World" by him, so what is normal? Of course, it is normal for all people to be ordinary people, but conversely, if all people are inheritors of light, is this also normal? ”
Keigo Masaki and Kirino were stunned, they both thought of something at the same time, the same thing that Mizoro Mujin said, in a sense, this is also a kind of normal, and Keigo Masaki happened to have some research on this matter, because he had a similar idea, and he had also talked about this idea with Castor.
"All of them turned into light!?" Kirino looked at Keigo Masaki, he had seen the future of Keigo Masaki on another timeline, so he knew that Keigo Masaki's ultimate goal for humanity was actually to evolve in this direction.
"Don't be surprised, this is normal for the fittest." Mizoro Mujin also said seriously, "I'm not saying that they can make everyone become light, but for their kind of light, the light itself will be passed down from generation to generation."
At this time, the others suddenly heard the witch sigh, her voice was a little low, revealing a trace of memory, "Actually, according to this statement, that god Kiri Elrod may really be able to do all this.
After all, a large part of the prayers of our Kiri Elrod people, at least in the last thirty million years, is that our entire race will have a powerful fighting body, just like the giants of light."
"If Casto's goal is to turn all of humanity into giants of light, if the birth of that egg is really affected by our prayers, if there is still a connection between the two, then maybe Castor can really do it all."
Masaki Keigo was silent, he looked at Mizoro Mu Shinya, obviously this guy was full of respect for that light, and even had a feeling of worship,
On the other hand, the performance of witches also proves how much the evolution of the whole race attracts life.
Even, even Keigo Masaki himself understands that he is conducting relevant research in secret.
As Mizoro Mujin said, the entire universe has lost its supernatural powers, so human beings can naturally develop steadily, but if all human beings become light, won't it develop faster?
Keigo Masaki and Kirino glanced at each other, and at this moment, they were indeed a little unsure of which way Casto wanted to go.
