Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty The Rut Between the Missing Body and the Heavenly Chariot
...Nicholas Flamel?
Annan raised his eyebrows.
It's not a coincidence that he opened the door for Qiao'er - has Qiao arrived home?
Unlike the eldest princess, Annan, who knew more about the truth, was not very panicked.
This former teacher of Kafni was a transcendent who formed an organization of fallen people called the "School of Hermes" in the royal capital of Noah... In fact, he was neither Nicholas himself nor his cloned artificial human.
.
He is not even a human being, just the memory of the former "Nicholas Flamel".
The so-called body of thoughts is a piece of consciousness extracted from nightmares.
A "memory fragment" that lives in a false script, has false or incomplete memories, and a certain degree of free consciousness. Because he was given a body, he will not realize that he is just a non-existence in a short period of time
phantom.
——In nightmares that are not "memory", the nightmare is not something that really happened. Even if it is real, it must be mixed with the expression of personal will, and all nightmares with other special properties are actually completely abstract.
of.
Because the nightmare owner's own resentment and will have formed a one-sided "anchor" to this record stored in the dream world.
Although it is indeed true, it is not comprehensive and is also exaggerated - the simplest truth is that there cannot be so many "puzzles" in reality.
This usually means the manifestation of a subconscious part of the nightmare owner.
For example, the "storage cabinets" and the haunted paintings in the gallery were the embodiment of Morrison's fear at that time. He may have felt great fear when he was being chased... But nightmares cannot combine this "feeling"
" is communicated to the Purifier, so it creates a jumpscare to "scare" or make the Purifier feel scared.
Just like "Brother Sledgehammer" in the gallery is completely unable to communicate.
If he could escape that nightmare and be embodied in the outside world, then he would be a missing person.
Human emotions are not absolutely stable, but the "missing body" is different. The emotion of the missing body is absolutely consistent with the emotion of that moment in history.
For example...Benjamin in the nightmare of "White Tower" also has almost all of his own memories, but if the real Benjamin and the "Benjamin" in the nightmare are asked to make the same decision respectively, then the answer is most likely no.
the same.
If Benjamin were asked to play the role of Benjamin in "The Nightmare in the White Tower" ten times without saving his memory, then what he said and what he did would probably be different each time.
Because he may have thought of something and become in a bad mood, or he may look back from a wider angle this time and suddenly see something and have new inspiration.
But every action and word spoken by the "missing body" must be exactly the same, and there will be no difference in a single word.
If there is no interference, even the angle of the eyeball rotation will not be different at all; even if there is interference, the thinking body will subconsciously go to the angle of "turning the script around" instead of referring to the three views formed by its own memory.
to think and act.
——This is the content of "Principles of Nightmare Science" that Longjing Tea copied from the black tower in Zedi before it was burned.
The book calls this power the "corrective power of nightmares."
In other words, every independent consciousness in the nightmare will subconsciously regard "complete the script" as the highest priority action.
For example, in a nightmare, when there should be a war ahead according to the world background, I met a sergeant in a tavern who was closely related to the nightmare plot.
If you tell him "Your XX boss is looking for you" in reality, he may leave doubtfully - even if he is not sure, there is a high probability that he will ask... After all, you can go to the pub at any time, but
Rejecting the boss's call may result in someone's death.
But if it is in a nightmare, this kind of reason will never let him go. Because if he leaves, what will happen next will not happen. Then he will use various reasons to refuse.
In a sense.
They are the real "NPCs" in this world.
And this is the "logical basis" for a truly experienced old wizard to judge whether he is in a nightmare.
The "Nightmareology" technique taught to wizards by the Zedi Black Tower is to teach them to use logic to deconstruct and disintegrate a nightmare.
It is not about using magic to forcefully destroy nightmares, but through observation, guessing, discovering a person's true identity, and then interfering with them, giving the other party many choices without leaving any trace.
By observing whether their preferences for many "choices" are in line with their personalities, or whether they are obviously contrary to their personalities, you can judge their weight in this nightmare "script".
In other words, we do not investigate the nightmare itself, nor do we consider solving the puzzle of the nightmare. Instead, we directly look for answers from the "game mechanics" - this is indeed the style of the wizards.
And today Nicholas Flamel is such a missing person.
The real Nicholas is already dead.
The method was so intense that it could even be said to have crushed bones and ashes... not even the body or soul was left, and even part of the memory of the missing body was deleted, just to prevent him from having a back-up plan to suddenly fake the corpse.
He was even given the identity of an "artificial human" at the beginning, asking him to name himself "Nicholas II", and leaving some loopholes to allow him to "realize" that he was actually the real Nicholas...
Using this method, Nicholas will be convinced of the possibility he has thought about. When he really thinks that he is Nicholas, he has the possibility of acting as a mirror.
Being so wary of the gods can, in a sense, serve as proof of his outstanding talents.
And after going around in such a big circle and using the power of so many gods, he still had to awaken Nicholas... Although Annan felt that this might be because the gods needed him to improve the formula of "Hermes Poison Dust", but there were also
Probably to help Annan make mirrors.
——Since Sir Silver and the "leak poet" did not come to remind Annan or stop Annan, it means that everything in front of them did not exceed their expectations.
In other words——
The poisonous dust has been created.
...In other words, Nicholas can be killed.
And after he lost his value, he immediately appeared in front of Annan - and even gave Annan a reason to kill him.
He took away Philip's head, forcing Kaifuni to be investigated... and although the Silver Lord Church was involved in the investigation, fairness could be guaranteed.
But people sometimes don't care about the truth - just like news that refutes rumors spreads slower than rumors that spread rumors.
If Annan did nothing, Noah's throne would definitely be taken away by the eldest princess.
In other words, even if Annan has not deduced that "Nicholas is the fourth mirror", Annan must find him now and kill him.
This is probably what is called...
——Destiny is a treacherous road.
