357. You can't take the wrong medicine, do you?
In a place like Mizkatok, where the style of study is free, for the higher-dimensional, higher-level existence of the Descendants of the Evil God, they are not as shy as the outside world shows, nor is they particularly afraid.
Because even though the other party may be strong, it may be dangerous, it may be mysterious, it may not be able to look directly, it may not be able to understand, and human beings may be like ants in front of them......
But he can't come in.
Just like if a human being slaps a mud truck on the road, it is impossible to really cross the second dimension.
Therefore, this kind of evil god heir has no way to end up in person, and can only project power to interfere through channels with clear directions such as statues and seals; Or in other words, looking for two or five boys among human beings to act as agents, that is, those cult members.
This is still within the scope of human power.
In fact, both Mizkatok and the outside cults have indirectly confronted such high-dimensional beings more than once, such as erasing the marks left by them and eradicating the cults they have cultivated.
Like Lloyd's last space-to-line hexahedron, it's certainly not the first time in history.
At the same time, such beings are not very interested in such a small and low-dimensional place as this world, so the number of times they interfere in this world is not much, and the impact and damage they can cause will not be particularly fatal.
However, since it is called a 'descendant', there must be such a grade as 'evil god' above it.
Human beings' understanding of this level can basically be said to be completely incomprehensible, and there is even a lack of sufficient evidence to prove that they really exist, and they can only be proved to exist theoretically through some clues.
Even the origin of this term actually comes from the oral tradition of some human beings.
And the people who spread these concepts, in addition to the teachings spread by the cultists, are more likely to be the Holy One from the Eternal City......
In the prophecy in which he firmly believes, the concept of 'evil gods' and their 'offspring' is explicitly mentioned.
At the same time, there has always been a chilling hypothesis in the Department of History, that the end of the world that humanity is currently suffering, and the spiritual pollution that leads to the end of the world, as well as the forbidden knowledge that will drill into people's minds on its own, are all the methods of a certain evil god.
And then it leads to bolder speculations, that those abnormal events with causes, things that do not make sense, holy objects that subvert cognition, all these things that cannot be explained by the existing knowledge system of human beings, are the work of some evil god.
It's a bit of a 'theology at the end of science.'"
Astra, the Sage of Redemption, was a staunch supporter of this kind of speculative hypothesis, and even the Sage Bymon of the Law, who was closely related to him, was convinced of this, and was rejected by Sage Hiltina as an elm head that could not be communicated......
Reflecting on the current situation, Professor Lawrence is almost certain that the spatial cage will involve an unknown descendant of the evil god, and further speculates that it may well be the source of the strange system of Oblivion.
As a result, the problem instantly escalated from 'rescuing the hostages' to 'fighting against the heirs of the evil gods', and it became even more tricky.
The dean and the professor couldn't help but fall into a dilemma at the same time.
Keep saving people, right? It may clash with an evil god heir, and then evolve into a confrontation with it, even if it is an indirect confrontation, even if there is a way to fight it, but no one can predict the danger and loss in it.
But if you don't save people, not only will you sacrifice several high-ranking powerhouses, but you will even get in more 'gourd babies', and you can only passively parry the conspiracy of [Forget], and the other party may further do more ruthless work.
The point is that although time is not forbidden, it is definitely not sufficient, and it is still on the side of the enemy, and there is no opportunity for this side to hold another meeting for discussion, and a decision must be made as soon as possible.
"Tell me what you think."
The dean was silent for a long time before he spoke.
"Then you should know my character very well, I must advocate giving it a try, if we retreat in this kind of link, then how can we shoulder the responsibility of leading the future of mankind?
What's more, those distant descendants of evil gods are better to deal with than those [Brilliant Gold] who are about to return, right? ”
"I know this, but no one knows what the consequences will be, and I don't know if there will be an evil god behind the heir?
Even if it doesn't, it will be difficult for us to do substantial harm to it in an indirect confrontation, and it is likely that he will come back, as has happened many times in the past, and humanity has paid a terrible price for it. ”
The dean's tone became more solemn the more he spoke, and finally he asked:
"Remember the fiasco of the Great Pioneer more than 60 years ago? In fact, it was the heir of the evil god behind the [Annihilation] system, a revenge on humanity for exterminating his sect. ”
"Of course, I remember, after all, the only blood I have left is that I died in that massacre...... That's why I'll study the [Annihilation] system later, just so that one day, I can take revenge with my own hands. ”
"Hmm...... Then you may not know that a new round of revenge of the heir began a while ago, but this time it was okay, it was discovered in time, and then Lloyd eliminated it with the help of Hiltina and 0-266. ”
"Ah??? Why is this stinky boy again? ”
"So this is some kind of [fate], right? Although I don't believe in the prophecy, I do believe that the destiny is real, but we humans can't grasp and foresee it. ”
"Then according to what you say, this time it's this kid who has an evil god heir again......"
"Well, so I agree with you, you might as well let that stinky boy give it a go! Let's find a way to help him get to the bottom and deal with the aftermath. ”
The dean's words suddenly brought a little smile to him, but he immediately changed his words and said:
"But in order to avoid some accidents, it's better not to tell him the truth, I'm afraid he will be full of cranky thoughts, don't look at him behaving obediently in front of you and me, in fact, there are a lot of crooked brains secretly, Hiltina specially reminded me for this."
"Crooked brains? Which aspect? ”
"For example, when he found out that 0-266 was sweet and cute, he wanted to kidnap people as a couple, which scared Hiltina enough at that time."
"Uh...... Okay, I know, but don't worry, I wasn't going to tell him this, or I wouldn't have come to you first. ”
Professor Lawrence said that, and he went back to the lab with great ambition.
Then came a big surprise:
"Professor, I've found a way to locate that space cage!"
"Ah???h
Professor Lawrence felt as if he had said it many times today, 'Ah??? ’
"Hehe, I made a bold attempt when you weren't there, and it worked unexpectedly......"
Lloyd said, pulling a curtain of light around him and showing the professor his results.
"Huh? It's ......"
"Hehe, I managed to send the previous three school districts into the activity area of the cage, occupied its hiding space, and forced it into a situation where there was no way out."
"Shhh...... What do you think...... It's really a ...... Ahem! I mean, it's close to my thoughts. ”
"So it seems that we coincided? Well, I was worried that you would think this was too risky. ”
Lloyd said with a smirk.
Professor Lawrence endured the headache, barely managed to squeeze out an embarrassed smile, and then secretly roared in his heart:
It's not that I think it's too risky, but you're a crazy person who would come up with a solution, right? No...... No, a madman is still a human, and you're not a human being, are you?
With several spaces so close together, aren't you afraid of colliding with each other and creating spatial vortices, spatial rifts, and even new spatial storms?
What's more, in your three school districts, there is still a space storm 'closed', right? Once there is nothing to be done, why not do it again?
In addition, the use of space to squeeze space does not make sense at all in theory, right?
The reason why the different space is difficult to understand and grasp is because it does not involve a simple distance, but also the strange phenomenon of folding and overlapping dimensions, and the two seemingly overlapping spaces are likely to have a distance between heaven and earth because of the different dimensions.
Professor Lawrence complained about Lloyd as he poured a stabilizing potion into his mouth.
If he hadn't been vaccinated before, he felt that his old life would have to be explained to this little bastard.
But...... Did this little bastard really do it?
From the perspective of a three-dimensional creature, blocking a space for manipulation on a four-dimensional level?
No matter how incredible, how to go against common sense and cognition, he did indeed do this unbelievable operation......
It's like ...... It's like a miracle!
Fortunately, this kind of thing has exceeded my cognition too much, but I can accept it.
Although Professor Lawrence complained in his heart, his small dissatisfaction with Lloyd was far less than appreciation and liking, and it could not be compared with the excitement and ecstasy in his heart.
So, after a moment's pause, Professor Lawrence continued to drink the potion and asked:
"How the hell did you do that?"
"Actually, the principle is very simple......"
"Poof!!"
"Wow? What's wrong with you, Professor? How did you squirt the potion out? ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing, I took the wrong medicine......"
Professor Lawrence reluctantly excused himself, and went on to pull out a new bottle of potion, and then listened to Lloyd continue:
"I just found out that the space storm is much more powerful than I expected! So I just controlled the three school districts a little bit and let the storm escape a little bit, and I was able to achieve this magical lockdown effect!
Well, it's equivalent to that it's not the three school districts that trap that cage, but the space storm in it, and I use these storms to form a chaotic blockade, and the cage doesn't dare to move.
Hehe, in fact, at the beginning, I thought that the space storm was so dangerous and changeable, it must be difficult to tame, but I didn't expect that with the help of the high-end instruments here, it didn't seem to be difficult to control? ”
"Poof!!!!
"Huh? Professor? Did you take the wrong medicine again? ”
"I didn't ...... No...... You go on...... How did you come up with the idea of trying to control the space storm? And how do you do this with measurement instruments? ”
"Well...... Because these three school districts are quite far away from the activity area of the cage, I thought about speeding them up so that they could reach as soon as possible, but the school district itself was too slow, so I changed my thinking and tried to start with the space storm, and their movement speed was much faster......
After that, I calculated a set of data models of space storms through instruments, and after a little analysis, I found a 'storm eye' at the center of the storm, which is actually a relatively safe and stable area......
Then, I left the lab and went straight to the three school districts, and with the skills I had learned by reading textbooks, I planted a mark on the 'eye of the storm' that pointed at me......
Of course, this is certainly not enough, because the mark in the 'eye of the storm' is very disturbed by the surrounding storm, and even with the skill I have learned, it is difficult to control.
But I found a device called Space Diving in the manual you gave me first, I tried it and it worked very well! With this set of equipment, those storms can't stop me, and they become under my control!
This is much easier to use than the school district, especially the speed of movement, and perhaps it is because of its chaos and disorder that it will not be subject to all kinds of restrictions, and it can quickly get to where I want it to go like a gust of wind.
Well, that's probably it, right? For more details, you can check my operation history......
As for the skill I learned from the textbook, I'm not very proficient at the moment, and I don't know how I learned it, but I just learned it naturally, maybe I awakened some kind of talent? ”
Lloyd basically told the truth about his previous series of operations, because he couldn't hide it, every time these instruments were used, they would leave a record of the operation, so the professor only needed to see what he had done with the instruments.
And these instruments, which I took over temporarily, do not have the authority to delete the operation records......
Of course, Lloyd prevaricated his panel skills and concealed a detail.
It was his [Spatial Domination] skill, when he was using his brain against the space storm, he happened to be upgraded to another level, and when he reached lv4, this gave him a hard standard to be able to control the storm.
In the past, this skill was originally difficult to upgrade, and it required a lot of fragments, but it may be because it had accumulated a lot of fragments before, but it was stuck by a bottleneck, so it couldn't be upgraded.
Recently, I just accepted the inheritance of 'uncle', which has upgraded my cognitive level......
So when he was researching the storm, Lloyd had just obtained two skill fragments, which was originally difficult to improve, and he was pleasantly surprised.
And the upgraded [Space Domination], although it has not unlocked new functions, it has greatly enhanced the original several functions, so there is a series of operations in the future.
After Lloyd explained everything, he thought that Professor Lawrence would gasp and shout two words of 'horror' or something.
As a result, no, the other party just covered his face with his hands, looking very uncomfortable.
So Lloyd had no choice but to ask again:
"Professor...... You...... You can't really take the wrong medicine, right? ”
