Chapter 174: The Pick-up Man
In fact, no matter which of these two choices is not good news for Chen Qing.
The former means that his inheritance is broken, which is simply digging up Chen Qing's roots.
The latter, on the other hand, means that there is a person or family who is so familiar with him that he not only has not used the Ancient Mirror, but also does not even allow others to use it.
And it's not just that.
If it has remained pitch black for a long time since then, then it means that the guy and the family who hold the ancient mirror are unimaginably powerful.
Because only in this way can they survive the time and let their inheritance continue to last for generations, and they will keep Chen Qing's ancient mirror for generations.
Of course, both of these options are only possible.
In fact, there are other possibilities, such as the future ancient mirror was destroyed, or the person who created the illusion did not take into account the ancient mirror itself.
However, the possibility of these choices is relatively small, after all, no matter who destroys the ancient mirror, or who does not understand the ancient mirror, it is unlikely that it will appear in the hallucination at the moment.
Chen Qing had always felt that this illusion was generated according to his own consciousness, and how could there be no Gu Jing in his consciousness to participate in the follow-up.
Therefore, the previous two possibilities are a little more likely.
"Then here's the problem, both of these possibilities mean that after Alice's time, my 'war' has suffered a certain impact, so that either the inheritance will be broken, or someone else will hide me."
Rubbing his chin, Chen Qing began to consider the meaning of this.
After thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't understand what kind of crisis it would be, so that his inheritance could disappear into history so that there would be no picture in the future.
You must know that even if it is buried deep in the center of the earth, there is still a 1 in 10 million chance that someone will dig it up. And the ancient mirror obviously spans all time, which means that as long as there is a probability of one thing, it is infinite.
Therefore, only a probability of zero can make the future completely dark.
This is doomed to futile thinking without adequate information.
So soon Chen Qing decided to continue to collect more information.
And now, the best intelligence gathering is undoubtedly Alice.
At present, there is no way to observe the future, and the era in which Alice lives is the only node in Chen Qing that is destined to find the answer.
For no reason, Chen Qing felt that the current situation was quite interesting.
At the beginning, he took Alice as his origin, and then spread to the future and the past like a network.
And now, he is using this time as the starting point of the examination, and re-arranging his own plan.
I have to say that this is really a bit like the "fate" that the apocalypse said.
"Speaking of fate."
Chen Qing's fingers tapped on the tabletop one after another.
In fact, when he got the news about "fate" from the apocalypse before, Chen Qing felt very absurd.
He does not believe in the so-called fate, because fate is often subordinated to "time".
Only the passage of time can make fate appear as it is, because fate generally refers to the future, and the future is a part of time.
But the critical time is his authority.
This is not a joke, even if the current Chen Qing is only a sequence eight, but time is really controlled by him.
Even if it's not completely dominant, it's at least controllable.
The answer is the ancient mirror.
The things reflected in the ancient mirror are definitely the future, and if you can only see the future, it is just "foresight".
But Chen Qing can even get things from the future from the ancient mirror, and in turn send the knowledge and taboos of his time to the future.
This is not something that pure foreknowledge can explain.
This is undoubtedly manipulating time.
Not to mention that the future "Lord of Truth" can be called the ceiling level among great beings, although because of the uniqueness of great existences, the current Lord of Truth can only become a role in the memory of others, but this does not prevent Chen Qing from becoming more and more powerful as time passes.
Therefore, he should not have allowed some of his authority to be tampered with.
But now, it seems that this future has been picked up by someone else.
And it's the future, it's fate......
Chen Qing thought this was simply too interesting.
This so-called fate seems to have been on its side from the beginning.
And judging by the description of the apocalypse, this guy's position is also quite ambiguous. It's not like they're completely on the side of the Apocalypse to deal with them, but it's not on their side.
Interesting.
The corners of Chen Qing's mouth hooked slightly.
He could feel that the guys who were hiding in the shadows seemed to be exposed now.
Apocalypse was undoubtedly the representative of these people, but he was not the most central member of them, otherwise he would not have been caught so easily.
But now, "fate" has revealed a part of it.
Not to mention that "Space" is also one of the members who oppose "Truth", and the status does not seem to be low.
That's true.
At this moment, Chen Qing felt that maybe if he looked up and looked behind him, he would be able to catch a glimpse of countless pairs of eyes peeking towards him from the dense black fog.
These guys are afraid, afraid of themselves, either bound by their own rules or fearful of their own authority, so they band together to try to bring themselves down.
And this illusion may be part of their means.
Thinking of this, Chen Qing felt a lot clearer.
"Then the most important thing for me now is to dispel this illusion. And then follow this illusion to find the guys who intervene in it. ”
It's a great opportunity.
Because to be able to cast an illusion on oneself means to know oneself and to observe this side all the time. Therefore, you only need to start with the object of suspicion, and it is easy to find out the potential object.
And the best part is not here yet.
Because it was before pollution, the vast majority of people were powerless. Moreover, the great beings of the future are also limited to each other, and it is unlikely that two great beings will appear at the same time.
Plus everybody's sucking right now, so this provides a great place for plotting. After all, in this highly developed information society, but with low individual strength, only a little attention is needed, and that is an excellent place for communication.
It's like an apocalypse.
He chatted with Chen Qing, but it was all in the present, not in the future after the cataclysm.
So this brings a benefit to Chen Qing.
Once a potentially dangerous object is discovered, it is easy to find the guy he has communicated with in the recent past.
And that guy is definitely one of the people who intends to deal with himself!
Of course, the average person can't do that. But Chen Qing is different.
He is now the only transcendent, a supernumerary member of the Containment Order, and most importantly.
He has a great reputation and can easily do things that no one else can't.
And that's the benefit of being famous.
After thinking of this, Chen Qing's brows gradually relaxed.
After figuring out what to do next, he wasn't in a hurry.
Even if someone is staring at their side now, there is still the protective shield of the apocalypse, so there is no doubt that they are safe at the moment.
And what he has to do next is to figure out how big the gap between "war" and "truth" is between himself after the reversal.
Because this will be the key for him to break this illusion!
So he groaned and said to the Demon King, "Our contract has been made, and no one can put an end to this. ”
This sentence made the Demon King can't help but sneer.
"You're such a bastard," he made no secret of his sarcasm, "that way you chose to make a contract, and now you're pretending to come and tell me that there is no way to break it." Looks like you've already eaten me? ”
"But it doesn't matter, you must know that the rules of great existence are set by yourself, especially after that incident, now even you can't end up in person. Do you still think that you can profit from it by giving others the power to guide strife as you have in the past? ”
"I'm telling you, it's no longer possible! Before that, I have personally killed several other apostles you have chosen, and next, I will also kill Li Changsheng! ”
The Demon King sneered and raised the mirror: "I will let you be sealed in this ancient mirror for the rest of your life, and you will never be able to extend your tentacles to the real world!" ”
It turned out to be you after a long time.
Chen Qing suddenly felt a little funny.
He analyzed for a long time before, but he didn't expect that the results of the analysis were actually done by Alice herself.
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was really possible.
Because Alice had gone insane before the reversal, she split into several personalities, which probably did not change after the reversal.
And the split personality itself also had the idea of killing the other sequence two because of what happened in the future. Therefore, under the influence of some butterfly effects, it is not incomprehensible that the current demon king would want to kill other apostles.
But doesn't that mean that the Demon King is not ...... The Reborn?
Chen Qing quickly fell into deep thought.
Because the reason why Alice will do this in the future is that she will appear in the second sequence in the future, and as a result, she was chased by Li Changsheng to the point of almost madness. And in the past, because of the bounty king's misfortune with her, her spirit was corroded by the curse of death, which became this ghost.
But now it seems that Alice began to kill the Apostles even before he entered the tomb of the Bounty King.
This also means that the time node when Alice should have been reborn did not follow the trajectory completely, and the time was not right.
So......
He is not a regenerate.
Soon Chen Qing came to such a conclusion.
But whether Alice is reborn or not, it doesn't prevent Chen Qing from talking nonsense to him.
"You can't kill Li Changsheng."
Outside the mirror, Chen Qing folded his hands and said in a calm tone: "She is my most satisfactory 'work', not comparable to a flaw like you." ”
During this period of communication with Alice, he has roughly figured out his "war" character.
He would choose the apostles, then provoke wars between the apostles, and have the apostles kill each other. Moreover, he was able to reap certain benefits from the apostles' battles.
There is no doubt that this is indeed very much in line with the authority of "war".
So the next thing that needs to be explored is.
What can be gained by this war?
And if we want to understand this, we have to start with the "struggle" itself.
Chen Qing was sure that Alice would give the answer.
Because he also has a certain degree of confidence in Alice's character now.
At the moment, Alice's personality is very tyrannical, crazy, and extremely resistant to herself. Moreover, Chen Qing can also detect a faint inferiority complex in his words and actions.
This inferiority complex stems from his persistent pursuit of Yusheng's grandson as his "good friend".
This kind of personality makes Alice very eager to talk, so with a little stimulation, this crazy critic will say everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans!
Sure enough.
The Demon King's fingers gripped the mirror.
The expression on his face twitched at that moment, and he looked extremely hideous and dark, as if he had been poked in some sore spot.
He took a deep breath, and his tone became more cold than ever: "Looks like you're confident. ”
"That's right, after all, Li Changsheng is the strongest apostle you have created. Before she gets your powers, she's already in Sequence Three. And after you, she became a saint, and even at the beginning of her promotion, she had the ability to compete with Yue Changming. Not only that, but she also killed Yue Changming with her own hands and established her reputation. ”
The corners of the Demon King's mouth cracked.
It's a pity that Chen Qing can't see his true appearance through the ancient mirror, otherwise he would definitely be able to detect that something is about to move in the Demon King's mouth.
It seemed to be a flash of light.
Bright and faint, it disappears in the blink of an eye.
But the Demon King seemed to be unaware of this: "Since you value her so much, then I will simply do it." ”
"I'll cut off her head with my own hands and break her limbs. Since she is a saint, then I will cut off the foundation of her promotion. Her laws will be sealed for thousands of years, and for so on! ”
Looking at the mirror, the Demon King said word by word: "You, and those wrong apostles born because of you, I will correct them all as 'correct'!" After that, the war will be completely reduced to nothingness. No one in this world will remember your existence! ”
What did I do before?
Looking at Alice, who was almost hysterical, Chen Qing thought in his mind for no reason.
He felt a little headache.
Taking what you didn't do on yourself will always give people the illusion of ...... "pick-up man".
But it can't be helped.
Since it was decided to put on a hat, this plate.
If you don't take it, you have to take it.
