Looking at the bright night in the sky, Li Hao was stunned for a while, then stood up and skillfully threw the pillow soaked with tears into the washing machine.
Gently touching the cloak and pointed magic hat hanging on the hanger, Li Hao's expression gradually dimmed.
Walking to the table, there was a long wooden box on it. Opening it, a magic wand with a shining halo was lying quietly inside.
Li Hao was silent as he picked up the magic wand that was coated with fluorescent dye.
"Actually, you have known for a long time that there is no magic in this world. Maybe it's time to end it!"
After a long time, Li Hao said to himself.
Then he put the magic wand back into the box, and at the same time picked up the cloak and pointed magic hat on the hanger, preparing to put them on the bottom of the cabinet and 'seal' them forever.
"Huh?"
Just when Li Hao opened the bottom drawer of the wardrobe, he suddenly saw a dusty metal box. He was a little confused, but he didn't pay much attention. He took out the metal box with great effort, and then solemnly put his magic three-piece set in.
Put it in the drawer and say goodbye to your past self.
Then, Li Hao turned his attention to the inconspicuous metal box. This metal box was unexpectedly heavy. He couldn't pick it up with just one hand, and he had no impression of it at all.
But this is normal. Since his parents had a car accident six years ago, Li Hao has been in a state of confusion for a long time. Later, even though he recovered from his secondary illness, he was still in a trance from time to time.
Because he had no relatives, the state sent special personnel to act as his guardians and take care of him until he was twelve years old.
As his guardian is Ding Shi's father, Ding Man.
Therefore, it can be said that Ding Shi grew up with Li Hao and knew the latter's affairs very well, so he could be so tolerant of him.
It wasn't until he was twelve years old that Li Hao moved back to his own home to live alone. In the past two years, he rarely organized the things at home, and even if he did, he would only touch those that were commonly used.
So it's normal to have some leftovers from his parents in the house that he doesn't know about.
Putting the metal box on the table, Li Hao looked at the boxy, textbook-sized box, hesitated for a moment, and then opened it.
You can see that the inside is covered with thick black velvet. The material of this velvet is very fine and smooth, and it looks like high-end goods at first glance.
In the middle of the flannel, there is a silver necklace. The pendant of the necklace is a green crystal stone broken into pieces about the size of a thumb. It doesn't look special.
Li Hao thought about it and put it on his neck. After all, it was a legacy from his parents.
Sighing, he took out his spare pillow, and gradually, Li Hao fell into sleep again.
"..."
Li Hao woke up suddenly from the sudden falling feeling, but the twisted and glorious scenery around him made him feel confused.
Just then, a calm voice came into my ears.
"You came."
Li Hao: Scared?!
He suddenly turned around and saw a strange and twisted shadow emerging behind him, which looked so terrifying in this strange environment.
"Hey, don't scare yourself! We are in your dream now. The scarier you think of me, the closer my appearance will be to your fearful image."
The weird and twisted shadow seemed helpless and said.
Li Hao, on the other hand, paid full attention to what the strange shadow was saying, and instinctively turned around and ran away.
The strange shadow did not chase him, but looked at Li Hao quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Hao gradually stopped because he found that no matter how he ran, he could not get any distance away from the strange shadow. Of course, the more important thing is that since the strange shadow said those words at the beginning,
There are no other actions.
After recovering from the shock, Li Hao forced himself to think about the current situation. After a moment, he asked dullly: "Did you just say that this is my dream?"
The strange shadow seemed to nodded and said: "To be precise, it is a dream created by your mind."
After getting the answer, Li Hao fell into silence. He had a lot of questions but didn't know where to start.
After all, he has experienced a lot. Even though he is only fourteen years old, Li Hao still showed his rare mature side. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked his own question: "Who are you? Why are you here?"
In my dream?"
The strange shadow explained: "You should know my identity. People in your world call us...demons!"
"Are you a demon? The demon who wants to destroy the world?!" Li Hao shouted in shock.
The strange shadow nodded and shook his head. When he was about to say something, Li Hao suddenly interrupted: "Since you are a demon, why do you appear here? Yes, this is my dream. You must want it."
Take over my body and carry out your evil plans!"
Countless similar movie scenes flashed through his mind, and Li Hao suddenly plucked up the courage and said, "You evil guy, I won't let you succeed even if I die!"
Weird shadow:…
Seeing that the strange shadow didn't speak, Li Hao said bitterly: "Huh, you must have been right!"
The strange shadow said helplessly: "I am a demon, but I am not the one who wants to destroy the world."
Li Hao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what the other party meant.
Weird Shadow explained: "Just like there are vegetarians among humans, they will do their part to protect natural animals, and the extreme ones will even take radical measures."
"The demon who said he wants to destroy the world is not actually trying to destroy you. He just wants to use it to achieve his own ideas. Similarly, we belong to the peace-loving category among the demons. We are here to help you.
Fight against the world-destroying demon."
Li Hao said in disbelief: "Are you so kind?"
The strange shadow said: "To put it simply, the World-Destroying Demon and I belong to different forces and different countries. I will destroy what he wants to achieve. It's that simple. Do you understand?"
"Well!"
This statement made Li Hao accept a lot, but he still couldn't believe the strange shadow in front of him.
The strange shadow continued: "Going back to the second question you asked at the beginning, the reason why I am in your dream is because you came into contact with the fragments of the 'original stone'."
Fragments of ‘original stone’?
In an instant, Li Hao thought of the necklace he was wearing, and asked, "What is a 'raw stone'?"
The strange shadow replied: "The so-called 'original stone' is the treasure trove of information we have given you. You can understand it as book knowledge, which includes biotechnology, mechanical structures, martial arts secrets, arcane magic, etc. It is just a piece."
The amount of knowledge that the rough stone can carry is much greater than what your country's most powerful supercomputer can record, and it is only through the fragments of the rough stone that I can enter your dreams and communicate with you."
Although he got the answer, Li Hao had more and more questions in his mind. He couldn't help but ask: "Did you give us the 'raw stone'? Why did you do this... Huh? Wait, you just said,
magic???"
The strange shadow said: "Yes, there is a record of this in the 'Original Stone'."
Li Hao couldn't care about anything else at this time. Years of obsession made him immediately ask: "Is there really magic in this world? Sure enough, there is. Dad won't lie to me! Then... can I learn magic?
?”
Looking at the young man's hopeful gaze, the strange shadow shook his head and said: "No, although this part of the knowledge is recorded in the 'raw stone' we dropped, the laws of this world do not allow the existence of arcane magic."
Li Hao's excited mood was quickly cooled down as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Seeing this, the strange shadow continued to answer the boy's previous question: "The purpose of releasing the 'raw stone' is naturally to hope that your civilization can progress so that you will not be eliminated. It is the same purpose as my appearance now."
"Help me?" The disillusioned boy asked casually, "How can you help me?"
The strange shadow said: "Everything."
Li Hao asked doubtfully: "All?"
The strange shadow nodded and said with confirmation: "Yes, everything! I can help you realize everything you want. In terms of your cognitive scope, I am an almighty existence in front of you now."
After thinking for a while, Weird Shadow added: "Of course, it must be logical, like 'create a stone that I can't lift myself'."
Li Hao sneered unconsciously and said, "Then I want to resurrect my parents, can you do it?"
The strange shadow said calmly: "Okay."
"Ha! I knew this kind of thing...what?! What did you just say?"
Li Hao was only halfway through his mocking words when he immediately realized something was wrong and asked again in shock.
Weird Shadow said: "I said, yes! Also, don't ask the question again every time. This will make me feel tired when communicating with you. I will reconsider changing the support target."
Hearing this, Li Hao swallowed back what he wanted to confirm again. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "But my parents have been dead for six years. Do you want to bring back their souls?"
The strange shadow said: "Of course not. There is no resting place for souls like the underworld in this world. After a person dies, the so-called soul will naturally dissipate."
Li Hao frowned and asked, "What should we do?"
The weird shadow said: "It's very simple. I have three methods here..."
"First, carve out specific rituals and secrets, hold special mysterious rituals, communicate the mystery, and offer sacrifices. The mystery will resurrect and reshape your parents' souls and bodies. This method is the simplest."
Li Hao initially heard something of a nature, but when he heard the word 'offer sacrifices', he felt something was wrong. The scene in the movie of the evil god believers performing bloody rituals flashed in his mind, and he asked tremblingly:
"What is this sacrifice...specifically?"
The strange shadow said calmly: "The person you want to resurrect is a human being, so the sacrifice is naturally a human being, and it must be a living life. According to the non-equivalence rule, if you want to resurrect your parents who had an accident six years ago, at least
More than 20,000 people must be sacrificed.”
Li Hao shuddered and looked at the strange shadow with a look that said, "You are indeed an evil villain."
The strange shadow shook his head and said: "Don't look at me like that. All knowledge is neutral. There is no good or evil in them. The only difference lies in the person who uses them. Although I know this part of the knowledge, this
It doesn't mean I'm going to abuse it."
Of course, it is impossible for Li Hao to resurrect his parents in this way. Not to mention that he can't sacrifice 20,000 people now. Even if he can do it, his parents after resurrection will probably kill them immediately!
"Tell me... let's talk about the other two." Li Hao said with a guilty conscience. He was a little afraid that the other two were similar to this evil ritual, but he still couldn't help but want to listen to it.
The weird shadow nodded and continued: "Second, I use the power of time to go back in time and save your parents at the time when they had a car accident. Of course, in order not to change the timeline and cause time backlash, I need to forge them.
They pretended to be dead at that time, and then waited until now to release them."
"Can you still... be like this?!" Li Hao was shocked, and then said with hope: "Then can you..."
The strange shadow said without mercy: "I refuse!"
Refused?!
Li Hao was stunned and looked at the strange shadow in confusion. Why did you refuse? Aren't you here to help me?
The strange shadow said: "Although I am here to help you, traveling through time to change the past is too costly for me, and there are many unpredictable dangers. Even if I help you, there is no need to help you to this extent, so
I reject."
The implication is obvious, although I can do it, it is not necessary.
Li Hao took a deep breath and asked, "What about the last method?"
Weird Shadow said directly: "The last one is the most difficult. It is only theoretically possible, but the actual probability of success is infinitely close to zero. That is...activate the superpower in your body and raise it to a certain height!"
"The superpower in my body? Sure enough, I am not an ordinary person!"
Li Hao's eyes were shining, like a chosen boy who was about to walk on the path of his own savior.
He is very familiar with this plot, it is often played like this in movies.
"My ability can resurrect others. Is it some kind of healing ability?"
Li Hao asked doubtfully.
The strange shadow shook his head and said: "No, after testing, your superpower is an electric current ability."
"Current?"
Li Hao looked confused, wondering what the connection was between electric current and resurrection.
Weird Shadow explained: "The power of electric current can continuously evolve upwards. When the current intensity in your body reaches a certain level, causing friction between cells to generate a magnetic field, the power can be upgraded to magnetic field rotation."
"As the number of magnetic fields increases, nearly omnipotent abilities will be born, such as 'strengthening the body', 'reorganizing cells', 'hardening of matter', 'reorganizing matter', 'reading thoughts', and 'controlling nature'.
What's more, it can affect 'life', 'soul', 'karma', 'destiny', and even 'space' and 'time'!"
"But, didn't I say it from the beginning? This is only theoretically possible, but it is impossible to achieve in practice. The probability is almost the same as if you were abducted by aliens and ended up becoming the king of the universe."
"In other words, although the probability is very small..."
The young man looked up at the strange shadow and said in a firm tone: "It's still possible, right?"
…………
In the city center, in a luxurious duplex villa.
Lando came back from Li Hao's dream, looked at the young man's firm and confident face frozen in the picture, and let out a chuckle.
"It's great to be young!"
Looking around, pictures like Li Hao's are filled with the whole room, there are... two hundred of them!
