Chapter 173: Hostilities

I have to say that for Chen Qing, this is a very novel experience.

It's not just that the voice he hears is a little rough, no longer as soft as Alice used to be, but also because of the attitude of the person he is talking to.

To be honest, in the past, Alice always communicated with herself with an almost reverent reverence. Even when she was transferred by herself to a thousand years ago, when she split into a crazy personality, this attitude did not weaken.

Not to mention weakened, even more respectful.

Chen Qing even suspected that Alice before the reversal had reached the level of "fanaticism" about himself, and he didn't know what the reason was.

So when this time it was heard that it might be a reversal after Alice used this ...... When he spoke in an impatient tone, Chen Qing was rarely stunned.

He soon realized that Alice's current difference in attitude towards herself might have something to do with the different authority she wield.

The gap between truth and war is, without exaggeration, huge!

Of course, there is definitely a certain gender awareness gap and some butterfly effect. But in any case, the root cause must be the difference in their own authority.

Because the reversal only changed his authority, and most of the others did not change, as can be seen from the side of the Apocalypse and the Holy Envoy. So Alice under this worldview, I'm afraid that she has also encountered similar things as before, but only she has changed to a certain extent.

So this made Chen Qing more and more curious.

What is it about her title of "war" that makes Alice react like this?

He originally wanted to ask as soon as possible, but soon, Chen Qing realized something, and first chose to keep silent.

Because he didn't know what attitude he would have towards Alice after the change, it was better to let Alice take the initiative to ask for it for the sake of safety.

And the blonde-haired demon king seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Chen Qing's silence.

He said impatiently, "What are you here for this time?" ”

"If you still plan to do the same as before, then I will only refuse you again. I'm not interested in being part of your plans, and I don't even plan to change the so-called 'pattern'! ”

He inadvertently revealed more information: "I admit that you have helped me before this, but it was just a 'deal' for each to take what he needs. You got what you needed from me and threw me some bones like a handout dog. The deal between us should be over in the Bounty King's Crypt, and there's no need to go on! ”

This sentence reveals a lot of things.

At least Chen Qing sensed a certain phenomenon from this sentence.

That is, under this worldview, the relationship between himself and Alice is still a transaction, but the two sides of the transaction do not rely on forbidden knowledge and ideas as in the past. And the relationship between the two seems to be more ...... Contradiction.

Alice was unhappy with herself because she had a terrible attitude when she offered him strength. Of course, it may be more than that, but at least it can be seen that there is a certain gap between Chen Qing and Alice before this.

This is also what makes Chen Qing a little incomprehensible.

For the reversal seems to have only changed one's own person, not one's own character. And according to his own nature, it is absolutely impossible for the apostles, who have polished the ancient mirror and prayed to obtain the power to change their fate from their hands, have such a hostile attitude towards him, the "great being".

He should treat these people with a more grandiose and distant attitude, as if standing tens of thousands of meters in the air and projecting his gaze downward. Let these people slowly push them forward when they see that they are valued.

After all, Chen Qing knew very well that before the ancient mirror, he actually didn't have much ability to interfere with the apostles.

Even if he stands upstream of time and can easily change things downstream, it is only in the general direction.

He was able to make a trend in the world of the future, for example, people all over the world started to like fish, but he couldn't get a specific person to try a fresh, freshly made fish dish. At the macro level, Chen Qing can do a lot, but it is difficult for him to reach out to the micro individual existence.

And the vast majority of apostles tend to be microscopic individuals in the beginning.

In addition to Li Changsheng, he already had the power of Sequence Three from the beginning, and he was also the director of the Forbidden Goods Depository. Such a person can easily be targeted in the upper reaches of time, but people like Qi Lu and Colin?

Chen Qing even felt that if he moved a little, these people might disappear!

It is true that he was able to make these people disappear silently, as if they had never been there. However, even with the new apostles, the problem was not solved.

In the beginning, he was not destined to have much influence on the apostles.

In addition to the use of contraindicated knowledge.

But at that time, he was not even very comfortable using forbidden knowledge, and with his cautious character, how could he use this strange power so casually.

Therefore, Chen Qing felt that according to his own character, it was unlikely that the apostles would be hostile to him to such an extent.

Unless.

"Unless the mirror is no longer just a connected effect."

Chen Qing's hand caressed the ancient mirror, and his eyes were thoughtful: "Since I chose 'war' as my honorific title after the reversal, it must indicate that I can strongly intervene in the future." Because war is about power, not about ethereal knowledge like truth. ”

Most of the people who believe in war and are willing to make deals with it should be those who seek strength.

As for the knowledge of truth.

Although forbidden knowledge can sometimes be empowering, it is like a forbidden object, which is equivalent to a "foreign object". Or, it is based on the power of the soul rather than pure energy.

Such a thing is too restrictive, after all, both taboos and taboo knowledge need a lot of pollution to support it. On the other hand, the power is a little more macroscopic and broad.

And Chen Qing felt that only in this way could he explain why he was so rich in Alice's mouth...... Aggressiveness.

If he can stretch his tentacles into the future and not worry about what impact he has in this era, then he will also be very strong.

It's not about good or evil, it's about rationality and calculation in its purest form.

It's like he can make a deal with Tianqi, the guy who has cheated him a few times, and he can also transform the relationship with the Holy Envoy, who even planned to kill him with a postcard before, as long as there is a benefit, Chen Qing will choose to do it.

For him, the so-called "grievances" and "emotions" are somewhat extravagant now.

Once you know that there will be a terrible cataclysm in the next ten years or even a year, when everyone will have to die together, and the whole world may even disappear by 99%, then you will also take some of the problems very casually.

This is the case with Chen Qing.

As a "human" who knows the most things in the world, his perspective is actually quite macroscopic.

For him, as long as he can secure his power and stop the pollution, then even the most troublesome relationship can be used.

The same is true of the apostles he repeatedly chose to keep himself.

Chen Qing knew very well that after the death of these apostles, there would always be a new replacement. But after the new ones have replaced the old ones, who can be sure that they are just as convenient as the previous ones?

Not to mention that I have spent so much time and effort, once it is all in vain, then it is not all wasted.

It's a pity that what Chen Qing lacks most now is time.

So he couldn't understand Alice's hatred at first, but after changing his mind, he became a lot more submissive.

But then again.

No matter what means he used before the reversal, and no matter what grievances and entanglements there are between Alice and himself.

The current Chen Qing has no way to "imitate".

Because even though the world has been reversed, and he has changed from truth to war, his "person" has not changed.

His memory is still that he was active as Lord of Truth.

So he didn't know how he was a War Lord in the past, and he didn't know what the War Lord could do with the Ancient Mirror.

Therefore, in the face of Alice's questioning, Chen Qing could only remain silent.

But he also understood that silence could only be resisted for a while.

If she doesn't talk all the time, then Alice will definitely find the clue.

So he pursed his lips and then threw out a question.

"How's that guy?"

Chen Qing asked.

He didn't say who the person was, but left Alice a little room for imagination.

But he was confident that Alice would know who she was talking about.

Sure enough, the blonde-haired demon king sneered: "You said that guy? ”

"She disappeared after a fight with that guy from Yue Changming, don't you know it yourself? As for where she is now, this genius knows. ”

The Demon King snorted coldly: "Maybe he died somewhere, or he may have been captured by someone." After all, we all know that that guy is very special. ”

"If nothing else, she will be the new saint of this world!"

The Demon King is talking about Li Changsheng.

And this also made Chen Qing breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it seems that the reversal has not changed many things.

It seems that the relationship between Alice and Li Changsheng still exists, but the two sides don't seem to be as harmonious as before.

But Chen Qing probably guessed this.

Before the reversal, Alice showed her hatred for Li Changsheng to a certain extent.

It's not just Li Changsheng.

This guy is not worthy of anyone in the state of crazy criticism, except for Chen Qing, everyone else is eager to strangle them to death with his own hands.

But before that, Alice was not like that.

At that time, Li Changsheng gave Alice a lot of care, and Alice herself admitted it, otherwise she would not kneel in front of the mirror at the earliest time and ask the Lord of Truth to save Li Changsheng.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing was in a trance.

He suddenly realized that the beginning of many things seemed to start with Alice kneeling in front of the mirror and begging him to save Li Changsheng's life.

Presumably, Alice at that time would never have imagined that her future self would turn against that Director Li to such a point, right?

So "fate" is really unpredictable......

It's like I've thought of something.

Chen Qing's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

He seemed to have a certain reaction to the words he had just said in his heart.

But the reaction was so weak that he didn't even know that a thought had just flashed through his mind, and he turned to something else.

And the actions of the Demon King outside the mirror also disrupted his previous thoughts.

"In short, the contractual relationship between us is over."

The Demon King had a cold face: "Now that we don't have a contractual relationship, so don't come to me next time." ”

"Because I'm afraid I'll not be able to resist it and smash this mirror of yours to pieces!"

The Demon King is arrogant.

Chen Qing has personally understood this.

And he also guessed that the other party's arrogance and high probability were probably his own reasons.

Truth and war, to some extent, are really on two levels.

Truth simply gives knowledge, and knowledge tends to give humility.

Even if this knowledge is taboo and there is no way for ordinary people to perceive it, as long as they receive these secrets, then they will have some awe in their hearts.

And war gives strength.

People who have power, if they don't suffer too many setbacks, will only become more and more arrogant.

This is normal, but at the moment, it is clearly not normal.

Because Alice came to this world in reverse time.

He should have experienced his future life of being embarrassed and fleeing, and he should not continue to maintain this arrogance.

So, the future has changed a lot?

Chen Qing had some thoughts about this.

He just wanted to exit the point in time of Alice, and then click on the time point of the next era to look back.

But soon, he discovered the anomaly.

Because he noticed that the ancient mirror in front of him did not have the option of the next time node.

The entire mirror surface has become a complete blank since Alice, and there is no other picture for Chen Qing at all.

No Colin, no Qilu, nothing.

This made Chen Qing a little puzzled.

"Strange ......"

His hand tapped lightly on the mirror, and his eyes flashed with thought.

This situation, which was obviously not quite right, made him think a little in his heart.

This represents two possibilities.

In fact, the ancient mirror couldn't open so many pictures at the beginning, and the earliest time was only Alice's time.

But after a series of actions and a series of actions, he made a name for himself as the Lord of Truth, which made more and more people aware of the benefits of this mirror, and then many new users appeared.

And now, the future users are gone, which means ......

Or in the future, his name has been completely buried in the dust of history.

Either that, or someone who keeps this mirror in the dust and doesn't let anyone use it!
