"Or it should be said that this world itself is ordinary, and there is no supernatural realm or aspect in itself..."
Gu Mo, who was walking on the street and walking side by side with the witch, talked about the special things about the real world. The most special thing about the dimension called reality is that it has nothing special at all and does not exist.
Extraordinary and mysterious soil.
I don’t know if it existed before and gradually declined in modern times, or if it never existed from the beginning, but for now, at least that’s what Gu Mo can confirm.
"Only monsters exist?" Kikyo raised her eyebrows slightly.
"No, even monsters don't exist. At least I have never seen one..." Gu Mo nodded casually and said, and then he noticed that the witch looked at him in a strange way. He blinked and said decisively
旳Add: "I'm actually not a monster."
The way the witch looked at him became even more strange.
Of course she didn't believe it.
"Okay, anyway, this is not important. In short, as I just said, there is nothing special in this world... At least I have never found it, and according to my observations, it is not just a problem of aura, but even the soul.
It cannot stay naturally and will dissipate immediately at the moment of death."
Gu Mo lowered his head, pondered, and told the information he currently had.
"After death, does the soul...dissipate directly? In this era, there is no reincarnation?" Kikyo's face changed slightly, and this news really shocked her.
No wonder I have never been able to sense the existence of the afterlife...
A dead person like her who was just wandering around the world is actually being called and attracted by the underworld all the time. This is something that can be definitely felt. The boundary line dividing this shore and the other shore is not clear to her. In the afterlife
The law has always been calling out vaguely.
But after coming to this era, all of this suddenly disappeared. She even had a weird illusion that she was completely alive. But after listening to this person's explanation now, she understood what the reason might be.
The resulting situation.
"Not necessarily. Even from a scientific point of view, there is the so-called theory of reincarnation. All molecules will flow and everything can be converted into other things... Everything in the world is born in heaven and earth, and will eventually return to heaven and earth. As
Xiao Yuan’s life form is always circulating in the world of Dayuan.”
Gu Mo shook his head and expressed his thoughts——
"No matter life, spirit or soul, it will probably never break away from this order and bondage. The concept of reincarnation has never disappeared, but it is still in its most primitive form."
The witch frowned slightly and thought. She couldn't understand some of the words, but she could understand the general meaning. And she also thought of another troublesome question: "So... in this era, there will be no death."
Is the appearance of the soul such a situation?"
"That should be the case...but we can use the power of the four soul fragments, or consider my previous proposal."
Gu Mo smiled heartily and didn't think this was a problem.
Platycodon fell silent.
He was not in a hurry, he just let the witch think carefully, and at the same time, he thought about the words he just said, and at the same time spread out his powerful spiritual thoughts, covering all directions in an instant, and he didn't know how many people were swept over in an instant.
Whether it's pedestrians on the street, customers in a store, or office workers in those buildings in the distance.
In his telepathy, it was as if countless red dots appeared on the small map, and countless bright spots appeared in the deep consciousness space, from which he read countless emotions.
Fields, various spiritual wavelengths of different frequencies.
Every bright spot represents the soul of an ordinary person.
Even a spirit that is inferior to ordinary humans——
They are often cats and dogs walking through the city, or some even less glamorous animals, such as rats in the sewers...
These are like the bright spots of weak fireflies. If you don't pay attention, you will ignore them. Although they all appear to be the same in front of his huge spirit that seems to be burning. He feels this disparity so intuitively that ordinary people
The human soul is already too fragile for him.
It's like paper, unable to withstand his casual touch.
With just one thought, he can easily annihilate any bright spot, destroy the corresponding mind, shatter the fragile spiritual will, and make the corresponding person suddenly brain-dead...
"It's such a terrible feeling..." A thought flashed through his consciousness, and Gu Mo felt this deeply. Power can indeed make people lose themselves easily, because his most intuitive feeling now is like an adult squatting.
On the ground, I am watching the ants coming and going on the ground.
A person can easily kill a large group of ants with just his hand...
As if they are not in the same dimension, ants living in a flat world cannot understand the existence of humans at all...
In this case, the concept of good and evil has really become very pale. If you cannot realize this and consciously restrain yourself, it is normal for people to lose their strength... After all, people die by twisting.
Ants, children tearing apart dragonflies, these things are not necessarily driven by "evil", but they may not care at all.
Just like seeing a flower on the roadside and picking it off as you pass by, there is essentially no difference between this behavior.
Gently shaking his head, Gu Mo took back the spiritual thoughts that had spread out over a wide area.
There are only rats in the sewers, there are no hidden monsters in the crowd, the aura in the atmosphere is extremely thin, and at the moment of death of people in the hospital, the emotional aura and spiritual wavelengths quickly dissipate at a speed visible to the naked eye... nothing, no miracles
and the world of magic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Condensing his divergent thoughts, Gu Mo looked at the shopping street ahead and said in a relaxed tone: "This is it, Platycodon... By the way, if you like anything, please don't be polite to me."
Of course, that's what he said. He actually knew that it was of no use. The witch never seemed to want anything. When shopping, she would only take a few more glances unless she was curious. Other times, she would not stop at all. Many times
It was only because of Gu Mo's persistence that he was able to buy her something.
Nodding gently, returning to reality from her thoughts, the miko looked at the prosperous shopping street in front of her, with a somewhat surprised look in her eyes.
Not long ago, the streets of Tokyo already made her feel more prosperous and unimaginably modern, but the city in front of her once again shocked her... She hadn't noticed it last night. After all, it was
She was somewhat absent-minded at that time, so she didn't really feel all this until now.
"This is also a big city, and the difference is more than 20 years. In addition, the era we visited before was a time period not long after the bubble burst, and it was already relatively depressed..."
As if he knew her doubts, Gu Mo explained.
The two stood next to the entrance of the shopping street, watching the people coming and going in front of them. Many people seemed not to be aware of their existence. It was as if the two were standing in the psychological blind spot of the passersby. That was everyone's subconscious mind.
The easily forgotten corner directly caused passers-by to deny and ignore the existence of the two people.
This is Gu Mo's inspiration from his own "unremarkable" trait. With the intervention of group spirit, it only takes a very slight degree to make the affected people ignore their sense of existence.
As long as there is no interaction, no attention is attracted.
So before that, they were "invisible" in terms of the psychology and attention of most of the unrelated people around them... In essence, compared with the previous simple and crude method of forcibly interfering with thinking, the technical content is slightly higher.
Some of them can be regarded as a reflection of Gu Mo's increasing spiritual power.

……
Although Penglai Island is Gu Mo's territory, it is still not a place where he can teleport directly by switching the interface.
It's not like a game where you can switch from the big map to your own private space with just one click...
In response to the improvement needs in these aspects, the system has provided many tailor-made upgrades. For example, using Shen Jiuye's Mirror of Life as an upgrade material can allow Penglai Island to further integrate the closed space behind the mirror and expand the island's space scale.
At the same time, it can also make up for the convenience of entry and exit.
——According to the system instructions, you can unlock the permission to teleport through the mirror.
Gu Mo naturally chose to use the Mirror of Life as an upgrade material for the island. After all, it was already severely damaged and its value as a normal piece of equipment had basically been lost. What he was interested in was the special space connected behind the mirror, but it could
It is naturally better to integrate the power of the system's rules into the island.
It’s just...
The upgrade materials have been put up, and the confirmation button has been clicked.
But instead of the expected result of the transformation being completed all at once, a progress bar appeared in front of him...
Well, it seems that upgrading the home also takes time, and under such circumstances, Gu Mo can still only temporarily use the previous method of landing on the island... that is to make the island appear relatively offshore, and then
It’s really inconvenient to rush there by yourself.
Another question is...
——The time barrier of the island.
This large barrier covering the entire island and the nearby sea area is not without its drawbacks. While it can protect the island well, it can also cause the time flow rate between the island and the outside world to be unequal. Taking the time of Penglai Island as an example,
The Roaring Cauldron will stop for one day a year. On that day, the barrier will disappear and the island will reappear...
The phenomenon observed by the outside world is that Penglai Island is born once every fifty years...
One year on the island is equal to fifty years in the outside world. If you stay on the island for two years, a century in the outside world will pass. Such an exaggerated time flow ratio... This is definitely a good place to wait for the release of the game.<
/p>
Gu Mo can adjust the barrier, including changing the fixed restart cycle of the barrier, opening and closing the barrier at will according to his own wishes, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., but he cannot adjust the consequences of the large barrier.
The phenomenon of time flow velocity difference has no way to affect the specific ratio.
Because this is the nature of the Time Barrier itself, and its basic performance has been determined from the beginning when it was laid out.
So with no other option, Gu Mo could only temporarily close the barrier of time after landing on the island... As long as the island is further away from the coastline and in the vast sea, there is no big problem. After all,
In addition to the large barrier, Penglai Island is not without other means of protection.
The sea area near the island is filled with thick fog, covering large areas of the island's outline.
When he set foot on Penglai Island again, Gu Mo's mood was completely different from before——
After all, the mentality of conquering the dungeon and the mentality of patrolling one's own private territory, how can these two situations be the same... Looking east and west, I just feel that the mountains and waters have suddenly changed.
It looks quite different and seems more pleasing to the eye.
When they arrived at the edge of the village by the lake, the two stopped.
"The village has been abandoned for too long... It can't just be repaired a few times, but if you want to rebuild it, the workload is too much." Gu Mo observed the beautiful and picturesque scene by the quiet lake.
He said casually, looking across the lake. Even there, there were continuous houses.
The lake is very large, and villages are built around the lake, forming a crescent shape.
The continuous houses almost surround the entire lake shoreline for most of the circle. They look neat and orderly, but a rough estimate shows that there are at least hundreds of them.
Although it is now abandoned and dilapidated, you can still see the scale of the village back then.
"I can control the shikigami, it won't be too difficult..." The miko glanced at him and said calmly. She thought about it carefully and felt that this method should be the most appropriate. As long as enough shikigami are invested, there will be
Given enough time, she can complete this matter alone.
"That's too tiring..."
Looking at the stack of cut paper figurines that Kikyo took out from his sleeve, Gu Mo twitched his lips, and then he realized why the miko only wanted to buy this when shopping before.
However, shikigami are not omnipotent. If a large number of shikigami are commanded at once, it will be a heavy burden on the miko's spiritual and mental strength. And judging from her plan, it seems that this is what it is... Gu Mo thought quickly
As I was reading, I was just thinking of the mage paper I had just purchased.
That is a complete production process about the golem.
Judging from the concept of the golem revealed in it, this kind of puppet is similar to a shikigami. They are both created by magic and can move through magic. However, the advantages and disadvantages of each other are also very obvious, and they are exactly opposite and complementary.
Two different types of spell puppets.
Shikigami does not require too much preliminary preparation. Like Platycodon, a random piece of paper cut into a human shape can be used as a carrier to carry the magic. However, it also requires the user to maintain it at all times. Once the connection between the magic is broken,
Everything will naturally return to its original state, just like an electrical appliance being unplugged from the power cord.
The golem requires very thorough preparations. From creating the body of the magic puppet to making it move with the power of magic, these are all very important steps. However, after the creation is successful, it is basically an ideal servant or servant.
Guard, and no longer need to worry about maintaining.
The former is suitable for handling temporary emergencies and solving some short-term problems. It is convenient, fast and almost cost-free. The latter is more expensive, but it is also more suitable for performing some long-term work.
Not only rebuilding the village, but also considering the future operation and maintenance of the island, Gu Mo thought it would be better to let the golem come in handy. He thought about it and took out the code. The witch looked at it indifferently. She didn't know why.
It's obviously words I've never seen before, but it's weird that I can understand its meaning.
"I have a way. Although it will be a little more troublesome, it should be better in the long run..." Gu Mo said seriously.
"What is it?" the witch asked calmly.
"Just... hmm?" He was about to tell his plan, but stopped at this moment. Gu Mo raised his eyebrows and looked in a certain direction.
Kikyo also cast her gaze in confusion, but she didn't notice any special movement. The monsters dormant in the rivers and mountains were also very quiet.
They have long become part of the island's ecosystem. It would be much easier to understand if they are regarded as various beasts in the island's ecology.
"I thought this sea area was already remote enough, but there will always be people coming here..." The young man opposite said a little depressed, and at the same time he reached out and scratched his cheek. In fact, his perception was still far inferior to that of a witch, but in Penglai
This island is an exception.
At least within the range that the Time Barrier should be able to cover, he, the person in charge of the island, can sense it.
Therefore, he also "saw" that on the sea filled with thick fog——
…………
A fishing boat is sailing on the foggy sea.
A large trawl was dragged behind the fishing boat, and crew members were busy near the trawl frame. On the deck, however, a group of young men and women were talking and laughing, and even used old oil drums to light charcoal fires. They were having a barbecue while laughing and playing.
It seems to be somewhat incompatible with the working environment and atmosphere on a fishing boat.
But they also brought enough excitement.
"It's great to be young, but it's too noisy..." The captain in the cab plucked his ears, but this was not the first time he encountered this kind of thing. Not everyone is exactly like the plot in the movie.
, have wealthy classmates or private yachts, but want to go out to sea for fun, then demand will always derive a corresponding market.
This group of college students can experience the fun of going to sea, and the fishing boat also has a guarantee of their charter. If the fishing harvest is not good, they will not lose too much... It can be regarded as a win-win situation.
"But isn't this fog too big..."
The captain fiddled with the instrument panel a few times, muttered, and then suddenly widened his eyes. In the vast mist, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of him...
