Seeing the future, this sounds like a very awesome ability, but in fact, when used, it poses a huge challenge to human and even non-human cognition.
This is especially true when the user lacks awareness of the time he or she is in.
After Snow drank the potion of Lorenz's Butterfly, the side effect he suffered was a disordered vision of the future.
Different from the normal situation of seeing the future xx seconds later, seeing future pictures, etc., Snow is equivalent to having an extra pair of eyes that are always looking at the future.
What's even more frustrating is that the future that these eyes are looking at is not continuous. Just like the name of the potion, Lorenz's Butterfly, the future he sees is chaotic, disorderly, and happening at any time.
Changing.
To use a metaphor that is more understandable to modern people, Snow is like wearing a pair of holographic glasses, but one eye plays a smooth picture from one shot to the end, while the other eye plays a large number of clips.
A spliced montage plot.
Therefore, in theory, such a future is easy to separate from the present.
But that's just theory.
But in reality, it's not that easy.
Because biological instinct is restricting Snow's choices.
When you see someone raising a gun at you, when you see objects falling from the sky, when you see a cold light piercing your eyes, even if you know that it is not happening now.
, will still dodge, because it is a subconscious reaction that has been integrated into instinct. On the other hand, if you deliberately suppress this instinct, when you really face danger, you may miss the opportunity to evade in the short thinking time.
.
But on the other hand, this is also the focus of Lorenz's Butterfly performance.
Through communication with MI9, Snow gradually understood the key points of the side effects of Lorenz's Butterfly——
What it requires is never adaptation to multiple visions, nor precise judgment, but sufficient "confidence."
It requires absolute confidence in your own judgment, even if a fatal blow is about to hit you in the face.
With the heavy experience of skipping classes before, Snow believes that only with this kind of self-confidence can it be possible to survive the mental burden of taking Sequence Three——
Even if he doesn't know what that burden is.
…
Integura's eyes kept flashing the scene of MI9 members led by Grove launching an attack. The shining electric light seemed to be able to pierce the spiritual shock of the soul, the law that deprived the extraordinary ability, and the Sequence Three possessed
of extreme pressure.
But Integra did not move. She forcibly restrained her instinct to fight back, showed a sweet smile, looked at Grove, who was frowning in her normal field of vision, and said calmly:
"Have you ever thought that the Ghost Empire might be a trap?"
As soon as these words came out, the lower-level members of MI9 immediately became excited, but Grove did not show any abnormality and said in a slightly calm tone:
"Tell me what you think."
"Oh? It seems you have noticed it too?" Integra's flamboyant smile became a little calmer. She reached out and grabbed a handful of "soil" in the cabin, and then let them slip from her hands:
"I just think that this maze is too simple. Although you all deserve credit for your efforts in drawing the map, in the final analysis, a group of adventurers who are not at the highest level of the sequence can build a ghost ship at the first level in half a month.
It’s a very strange thing to figure it out.”
"In terms of order weaving, this is probably because most of the ship's power is used to recover extraordinary characteristics and maintain the strength of the rules, so a trade-off is made for the strength of the monsters." Grove's tone lacked ups and downs. It was completely impossible to tell what he was thinking about. Integra just shook his head slightly and then pointedly said:
"In that case...do you have a sealed object with a sun path?"
"That's it..." Grove nodded, as if he understood something. Integra also nodded, and the two began to move forward.
The MI9 members who followed behind were all confused, and Cons, who thought he had seen too many Riddlers, leaned closer to Novarte and asked curiously:
"Head, what do you mean, Your Highness?"
"What else could it mean?" Novat rolled his eyes at Cons and did not answer directly, which made Conse wonder if the boss didn't know it himself.
After an inexplicable brief exchange, a group of more than 20 people set out on the journey again. Under the protection of Grove, there was no attrition along the way, until a brass-colored door stopped in front of everyone.
Since entering the maze, everyone has passed through between one hundred and eighty "compartments" of different sizes, and monsters ranging from Sequence Six to Sequence Nine. However, along the way, they have actually encountered a structure that can be called a "door". This is the first time.
"Your Highness, this should be the captain's room." As the main drawer of the map, Novat said with some pride. Although he didn't know what kind of test was behind the door, it was proved that everyone could reach here smoothly. His intelligence gathering abilities.
"!
!”
Just when Grove was about to say something, he suddenly felt a strange aura erupting from Integra's body. He was almost ready to deal with it immediately and turned around to look, only to find that this The lady seemed to be under a petrification spell. She stood stiffly on the spot, staring blankly at the brass door, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, but she still had no intention of moving.
It wasn't like being scared to the point of being unable to walk, but more like the feeling of being scared to death but holding on not to run.
Although it was very unbelievable for such a strong man to have such a feeling, Prince Grove still reached out and wiped it on the crown above his head. As the golden light slowly flowed, the entire space became a little warmer. , Integra's eyes were still staring at the brass door, as if he was completely unaware that Prince Grove had revealed his weapon.
"Ms. Integula, what did you see?" Grove asked with a solemn expression. After hearing this, Integula still did not move his eyes, but said in a somewhat hair-raising tone:
"Behind this door lies the greatest terror for the Arbitrator's approach."
"That's it?" This is what most people in the MI9 squadron are thinking at this time. After all, as a ghost ship formed by the characteristics of the Arbiter Path Sequence, this place is very scary for low-level Arbitrators. Everyone has been prepared for this kind of thing. .
But soon, the expressions of these people changed, because Prince Grove also showed a solemn expression, which seemed to be confirming something from Integra's words.
He took out a bronze talisman from his arms, and his eyes flashed with electric light that was difficult to look directly at. At the moment when the light shone brightest, he suddenly waved his arm forcefully and read out a sentence in a solemn tone.
