"Then what impact will the activation of this ability bring to me?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe..." Woody replied with a smile, "First of all, the 'cage' used to imprison people in your thinking palace has disappeared, hasn't it?"
"Oh... that..." Feng Bujue said, "I have had the 'key' to the 'cage' from the beginning, even if it doesn't disappear."
"Hehe... How can it be the same?" Woody continued, "If you can find and master the 'key', it is because your spirit is strong; but the disappearance of the 'cage' itself... indicates the awakening of abilities."
He paused, "Also...don't take it for granted that you will be safe and sound after the cage disappears; normal people's bodies and minds have limits. If Gu Chen and Qi Zhi hadn't strengthened your spirit body, even if
Even you...are in danger of a mental breakdown."
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue thought for a while, "No wonder you said they 'put in a lot of effort'." He thought thoughtfully, "Actually, I have thought about this too... Logically speaking,
Just the fact that you can feel the rotation of the earth all the time is enough to drive a person crazy. But... I quickly adapted to that kind of perception." He paused for half a second, and then said, "Facts
Not only did I adapt to it, but I also felt comfortable with it, so... I did various experiments again."
"Oh?" Woody raised his lips and asked, "For example?"
"Take 'perception' as an example..." Feng Bujue said, "In addition to the movement of the earth, I can also feel various physiological phenomena in my body, such as blood flowing in blood vessels and air entering the lungs.
There are also the digestion processes of food in the intestines and stomach, etc.”
"I know that." Woody replied.
"And on this basis." Feng Bujue continued, "I also tried to feel more external, specific things such as the flow of air, the flow of water, the flow of blood in other people's bodies, and the breathing of other people.
, other people’s heartbeats, etc.”
"Hey hey hey...is there anything gained?" Woody asked.
"Combined with my well-trained detective skills..." Feng Bujue said, "Now I can basically tell with 100% accuracy whether a person is lying." After saying this, he paused for half a second and added. "Oh,
Of course, I am talking about human beings in the general sense, specially trained agents or guys like you are not within this scope."
After hearing this, Woody smiled and said, "Hehe... your attempt is based on 'practical application', which is good. But... because of this, your exercise method is crooked."
"How do you say this?" Feng Bujue asked.
"It's very simple." Woody replied, "From the perspective of training ability... Since what you want to practice is 'perception', then you only need to focus on 'perception' itself. There is no need to combine it.
Put your well-honed powers of observation and reasoning to use."
"I understand..." Feng Bujue understood quickly, "To use a fitness metaphor as a metaphor... I don't have to think about what use the muscles I have built will be used for, I just need to practice them."
"That's right." Woody continued, "Now that you know the truth about your ability, you should pay attention to it in the future; if you want to practice 'perception', don't think too much... and don't go with a 'purpose'
Use it, this is the right way."
When he said this, he seemed to remember something from the past. After pausing for a few seconds, he smiled and said: "Hehehehe... Speaking of which, someone has given me such advice before..."
"Oh? Do you also have days when you receive advice from others?" Feng Bujue became interested as soon as he heard this, because Woody rarely mentioned his own affairs.
"Hehehe...that's right. I wasn't born in hell." Woody continued, "When I first became a devil, a senior told me...leaving aside some of the more extreme things.
For example, in most cases, people like us don't practice skills or improve their abilities as fast as those fools." He paused, "God is fair... He gave us excellent minds.
, and we are also used to using our 'brains' to solve problems; but when it comes to cultivation, sometimes it is easier to make progress by 'not thinking about anything'."
"Hmm..." Brother Jue nodded and agreed. Although he hasn't practiced anything yet, he can indeed understand the meaning behind the other person's words.
"You know Gu Chen, right?" Woody continued, "He was a monster when he was young. Compared with him, geniuses in the general sense can only be regarded as ordinary people. But... his psychic ability
His rank has not been improved for a long time; why? Naturally, it is not because he is not talented enough, but because... he lacks the motivation to become stronger."
"Are you talking about frustration?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe...Frustration is also part of it, but the key problem is that there is no sense of crisis..." When Woody said this, there was a little helplessness in his tone, "Can you understand? Others can use the powerful Vajra Palm to
We can defeat the opponent with a set of Arhat Fist, because people like us... can rely on our own intelligence to use Arhat Fist to exert the power of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. So... we have been fighting
Use Arhat Fist."
"Ah... I understand it deeply." Feng Bujue obviously understood.
"To sum up..." Woody shook his head and continued: "Use the existing conditions, combine your own wisdom, solve the difficulties in front of you, and enjoy the whole process... This is the problem with people like us.
He spread his hands and said with a smile, "In comparison, people with simpler personalities and minds... do not have such shortcomings. Although, under the premise that the conditions are completely equal, they will often lose to those with more talent."
People, but that doesn’t matter...they will gain motivation from failure, and then use the most direct method they know to become stronger, without thinking about anything else."
"Well... the road in front of us is limited, and even when there is only one... we can go faster." Feng Bujue said with emotion.
"Hehehe... and what you need to learn now is to 'ignore some roads' and 'accelerate the pace on the right road'." Woody continued.
"Haha... I'll try my best." Feng Bujue said, turning the topic back to the part he just didn't finish, "Okay, I already know the general direction of training 'perception', and I will follow up next.
Let's talk about 'seeing through the laws of how things work'..."
He paused for a few seconds and thought for a moment. Then he said: "At first, even for some relatively simple things, I had to concentrate and observe for a while before I could analyze the rules; but when it came to those more complex things, it was beyond me.
For things within the scope of knowledge, I have to open or dismantle them before I can understand them. However... In the past few days, after repeated attempts and practice, my level has almost reached the point where I can turn a smartphone on after staring at it for five minutes.
To the point of being taken apart and put back together again.”
"Hehe... Not bad." Woody said with a smile, "It is indeed a good idea to use precision machinery to exercise this part of the ability."
"I feel like you're about to say a 'but', right?" Feng Bujue guessed that was true.
"Hehehehe... But it's wrong to just focus on one type of thing to practice." Woody said as expected, "It doesn't mean that the more complex the things you observe, the more intense your ability training will be.
High...'ability' is not a science exercise, and there is no need to follow that line of thinking. There are a lot of materials in this world. 'Seeing complexity from simplicity' is the so-called 'enlightenment'."
"Then...I'll try to observe some simple things from today on?" Feng Bujue continued.
Before he finished speaking, Woody laughed full of malice: "Actually...'Nothing in this world is simple'. When you can understand this sentence, your ability is no different."
It's not far away." He licked his lips, "As for what you want to observe from now on, my suggestion is animals, plants, ecosystems... Once you are familiar with these, you can almost start traveling back to nature.
Try hard in the right direction, such as observing a drop of water or a piece of shit... This is an excellent exercise."
"How about you take a selfie for me. It will be useful when I reach the state of returning to my original nature." Brother Jue's complaints came out of the blue, almost without thinking.
"Hehehehe... believe it or not, I can transform into a giant piece of shit and then wrestle with you." Woody continued.
"Well..." Faced with this very powerful threat, Feng Bujue thought for two seconds, "I lost..." and decisively chose to give in.
"Hehe... Okay. The joke ends here." Woody said, "That's about it for the ability part. For further information, it would be more appropriate to wait until you reach the parallel level before telling you." He pointed with his middle finger.
He pushed up his glasses and continued, "Then... finally, let me finish telling you about 'this'."
The "this" he was talking about was undoubtedly the Atari Crown in the package in his hand.
"Ah... I started talking about it from the beginning." Feng Bujue said, "You still haven't told me what this thing has to do with the Candidate Game."
"Hehe...this is one of the game props from the last candidate game." Woody replied, "In addition to the 'Crown', there are also the 'Philosopher's Stone', 'Amulet' and the 'Holy Grail'.
props...and whoever collects these four items can get..."
"...'Holy Sword', right?" Feng Bujue directly took over the other party's words, "I know this. Atari's 'Sword Hunting' event in the 1980s, you asked me to go to Yage a few days ago.
I already knew its origins when I picked up the 'Crown' on the ship." He wondered, "By the way... wasn't that event that year aborted because of the company's bankruptcy? Could it be that you recreated it in the Candidates game?
?”
"Hehe...yes." Woody continued, "And...we will still use these things in this candidate game."
"Oh~" Feng Bujue rolled his eyes, "That's why you asked me to help you get the crown..." He thought about it for another two seconds, "But... why did you go and grab it yourself? For you,
Just teleport, take it and go... isn't it done? Why bother asking me to go through all the trouble?"
"Hmph...it's not that simple." Woody sneered, "According to what you said, there is almost nothing in this world that I can't solve with 'one teleportation'. If there is...just use two."
"So... you are also restricted?" Feng Bujue finally explored this issue step by step.
"Hey hey hey..." Woody was also keenly aware of this, "You don't have to be so cautious in asking, I will tell you what I can tell you; there is no way you can tell me what I can't let you know.
Pry it out from my mouth..."
Brother Jue curled his lips: "Okay, okay, then you can tell me."
Woody continued: "In our universe, there is something called 'karma'; it is a force in the dark, created by a supreme being.
“‘Karma’ is not a tangible substance, but a concept; it transcends time and space, is everywhere, and affects everything tangible or intangible in the entire universe at all times.
"Whether it's you humans, us devils, or even some beings called 'gods'... will be restricted by 'karma'. Every move we make will accumulate or eliminate some 'karma'. If we don't pay attention to it,
If we do, it will lead to irreversible destruction.”
"Hmm..." Feng Bujue thought for a few seconds, "It sounds a bit like 'karma'."
"It's a bit similar, but not quite the same." Woody replied, "However, I can only reveal a broad concept to you, and it's not convenient for me to go into details... because 'elaborating the characteristics of karma'
The incident itself will also cause great changes in my karma."
"In short, it is this kind of power that prevents you demons and ghosts from doing whatever you want in the world, right?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe... Of course there are those who act wantonly." Woody said with a smile, "But the more you do that, the more karma you accumulate, and the faster you die..." He tilted his head, "And those who know the rules better
...Just like us, we make 'deals' with humans to achieve our goals."
"Then... what do the people in heaven say?" Feng Bujue asked.
"They used to make deals," Woody said. "Before the thirteenth century, they had been providing power, wealth, and war rights to believers... to expand their religious territory."
"Then why did it stop?" Feng Bujue asked.
"Hehehe..." Woody didn't answer the question, just smiled and said nothing.
Brother Jue also read some dangerous information from the laughter and did not continue to ask...
"Uh huh..." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue cleared his throat and said, "Well... I have one last question..."
"Okay, I know what you want to ask." Woody rushed in before he could ask, "I said, 'Thriller Park' is an experiment, so it is different from the previous 'Candidate Game'
It's different; the idea I advocate is that since human beings are progressing and changing, those of us who call ourselves gods and demons...should also adapt to the trend. The game of 'life or death' is no longer suitable for the current situation.
In this era, Thriller Paradise is a selection where the winner does not need to kill all the competitors." He stood up from the bench as he spoke, "But... not everyone agrees with me.
Opinion."
At this time, Woody put away his usual wretched smile, leaving Brother Jue with a back view, and solemnly said: "Feng Bujue, I hope you can win... Your victory symbolizes my success.
The success of the experiment. And your failure...is not just your personal failure, it is also the failure of all mankind in a sense.
"The 'gamble' outside of the game is not just a bet on a few treasures...the result will also determine who will have the say in the Candidate Game for many centuries to come.
"You can also imagine... this 'experiment' that we (the four cheap guests) have completely broken the established pattern of the past, must be under tremendous pressure from many parties. If in the end we let the people from 'Heaven' or the 'Four Horsemen'
The candidate the power bets on wins..."
"I understand." This time, it was Feng Bujue who interrupted Woody.
At this moment, Brother Jue also stood up.
With a smile on his face, he looked at the other person's back and said in a calm tone: "Don't worry, I will win." (To be continued.)
