Chapter 701 Nightmare? Memetic infection and the original version
Nothing in the world is truly involved for no reason.
The result is caused by causes and things are done. Even if it is just because some people are really bored, they make strange actions. These "boring" ideas are the main reasons for those strange actions.
Pei Chen is the same. He abandons the inexplicable whims and passes time with boredom. He has thought more deeply in this regard, and looks at the problem for a long time.
Although at the beginning, He wanted to simulate the space and create the main god game only temporarily, in order to deceive these contractors who were destined to help him maintain historical nodes. But after thinking about it, he felt that this idea was feasible and valuable enough, and should not be limited to this level... After all, if the main god game was really created, even the low-end version would be good, it should not be used only to deal with a few contractors who were unable to survive and had no power of nuclear weapons.
Not to mention anything else, just the moment He talks to Akatsuki Mitsuhide, he can think of hundreds of better ways to play the role of the Lord God game.
"Is the Magic Lord God Game?"
His eyes crossed the space from a wonderful height, looking down at the blue planet in which his material carrier projection was located, as if his will and the entire sky were condensed together. Pei Chen even saw his body directly. But he just looked plain and mobilized his attention, looking at the vast continents, winding rivers, snow-capped mountains and rugged forests on the surface of the planet. The natural environment of this era is far less severely damaged than the industrial age in later generations.
The fire of human civilization is transmitted little by little, extending and connecting in various areas with rich resources or barren environments, spreading little by little, one by one. Although it seems to be blooming in all aspects, there is no tendency to spark a prairie. Instead, it is extremely difficult to maintain the existing foundation and develop forward extremely slowly. It is not that a spark can start a prairie fire, but that five thousand remaining candles are unstable.
The lord of ghosts and monsters moved away from the human civilization and moved to those aliens. This was an era of symbiosis between humans and ghosts. Excessive and rich primitive Qi gave birth to a large number of non-human things. Ghosts and monsters were wandering at night, waiting for opportunities to move in human panic. The low-level points were nothing more than animals and plants becoming monsters, and old objects that were old in the past produced supernatural powers; the higher-level ones were transformed into monsters, and the concept of monsters that were born from the monsters was combined with reality.
But the kind that is so powerful that it cannot be confronted is the true supreme world, equivalent to the gods in the lower realm, whose figures are generally hidden in history and even legends.
For example, the famous Jianzhen incident in the Tang Dynasty was promoted by some big monsters. The introduction of Buddhism took advantage of the opportunity to attack Shintoism at that time, and it caused a struggle between the two mythological systems without hesitation, even if it was limited to the local forces in this universe or the local branches, Shintoism could completely control the Japanese mainland step by step, but because the gods in the heavenly world's attitude towards inhuman things such as demons was a little too bad.
Therefore, several great monsters at that time simply introduced Buddhism from the other side of the sea. The Buddhist teachings introduced by foreign countries gradually expanded in Japan at that time and gradually formed a relatively complete system. Moreover, Buddhist monks had advanced knowledge on the mainland, so the emperor supported Buddhism, and Shinto lost power. Many people actually did not know that Shinto did not even have a formal name at the beginning, and there was no rigorous doctrine system and complete organization, so they became a vassal of Buddhism.
In order to compete with the word "Buddha", the word "Shidao" was created to distinguish between Japan's inherent traditional beliefs and foreign-introduced Buddhism. After absorbing Chinese Confucianism and Buddhist teachings, the existing system of Shinto is considered relatively complete. Therefore, the improvement of Shintoism is actually due to the invasion of Buddhism. Of course, if it cannot withstand it is swallowed in one bite, there will naturally be no so many things.
In this way, we will hold each other to fight each other. Sometimes Party A has the upper hand, and sometimes Party B has risen. However, under the intentional or unintentional manipulation of some inhuman things hidden behind the scenes, the stalemate has lasted for centuries. In the end, the two religions even gradually mixed with each other strangely, which is really ridiculous.
However, in Pei Chen's opinion, such changes are natural and very normal.
I remember the official mythology that Fairy Taiyin said. The predecessor of Buddhism, the Western religion, also took the initiative to invade the Lingkong Heaven. Unfortunately, not only did not be able to annex this terrifying mythological system, but also compensated himself. Even the infinite Buddha land had no choice but to become a part of the Lingkong Heaven.
"The world is like a furnace, and desires flow, and even gods and Buddhas cannot be avoided..." The demon king shook his head and retracted his gaze. "But the big monster with such a way of heaven is probably not close to or even reached the seven-star level. Otherwise, it would be so easy to play with the two religions between applause."
He was only surprised at this at the beginning, but he did not realize that there were such a person in this world. Any corner of the universe was good and there was no breath. Since that was the case, he naturally didn't have to worry about it. Since it no longer exists, he probably either ascended to his realm or became an immortal. Anyway, he no longer exists.
"Huh? Have you finally woken up?"
At this time, Pei Chen seemed to have noticed something.
...
...
Tear the body and kill every cell with fatal pain...
Throughout the soul, it seems like the severe pain of crushing and tearing the invisible and intangible soul...
For a moment, all kinds of unforgettable feelings that were definitely not good and tasted were all surging up the moment the captain woke up. The skin was peeled off, the muscles were broken, and the nerves in the whole body were tingling. Every cell was like burning by magma, which was a severe pain that penetrated the spiritual flesh. The residual pain that burned from the body made him open his mouth and let out a terrifying howl, which would definitely destroy the hearing's auditory nerves!
"ah!!"
Then, it was like a scream that would only be dying in the next moment, or a cry that would only be made by something that had just crawled out of the grave, and it came to an abrupt end without warning.
Then came a light sentence: "...it's really ugly."
He didn't care about the sound of the so-called ghosts and monsters, and the captain rolled out of the bed, trembling all over, and his upper and lower teeth were fighting each other.
But he was surprised to find that the fatal pain that had penetrated the will of the flesh and flesh less than a second ago seemed like an hallucination, and now he could not feel anything. It was not a situation that receded like a tide, but there was nothing at all, as if the residual of the huge pain accumulated when he was unconscious before, but now he has recovered and received the part.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
But at this moment, he just looked at his hands that had recovered from flesh and blood, and touched the real skin touch on his face, turning his head to look at the one-piece hooded cloak placed beside the bed: "My body... has recovered? That curse state is lifted?"
The captain was excited and did not forget his experience at all. He subconsciously used the corner of his eyes to scan the surroundings, and then was surprised to find that there were earthen walls around him, and the space seemed very cramped. At first glance, it seemed like he was in a simple earthen prison.
No! This is simply the passage and space dug out from the ground. It was just reinforced in some key places, at least not so easy to collapse. But the dark and gloomy feeling was unknown how far away there was a torch emitting faint light, and the strong aura of death in the underground space in the passage made his face change rapidly.
Sure enough, what happened before was not accidental?! Did the other party start a strife?
But what about my teammates?!
The captain with a change in expression quickly checked his team list and then breathed a sigh of relief. The team members were all fine. Although they didn’t know if they were safe or not, at least the names and numbers were still lit. At least they were alive, so there was still hope for everything!
"Yes, that curse has been driven away..." Pei Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the guy in front of him, suppressing his malice quietly, "Don't look around, I'm bringing you here just because the breath here is more suitable for suppressing the power of the angels in your body."
"The power of the angel..." The corners of his mouth twitched in an instant, and the captain finally confirmed that the guy on the other side definitely understood the things in the Western system.
If the previous "higher devil" may be a coincidence, then the term "angel power" mentioned now is definitely not an explanation for coincidence. As his main strengthening ability, the bloodline of the Ghost Rider certainly understands what it is. The dark power in his body is the power of an ancient demon on the surface, but in essence it is the revenge spirit of the irritable and perverse angel of justice Lhasaros.
But these things should not be known to the existence in front of you.
He suddenly felt that he had a little understanding of the world, and the other party was not as good as the aboriginal people, natives, and even the legendary creatures that he had known before could not describe the other party's side... Thinking of this, the captain once again felt the fear that when he was facing the fatal crisis in the mission world for the first time, he had to freeze his whole body.
Why can't the space detect the existence of the "person" in front of you?
Because the other party appears in front of him now, it is likely that it is indeed an illusory shadow, a portrait formed by the ontology projected onto the world of material phenomena.
"Yes, the power of the angel..." Repeat once, affirming the other party's guess, Pei Chen turned his head and took a step away, leaving only a light sentence: "Come on."
The captain who had recovered his flesh and blood looked like an ordinary human, but his eyes when he looked at Pei Chen's back were filled with invisible fear. But even so, the next moment the other party's words fell, he followed the instructions, because the other party was not ordering or threatening, but declaring what would inevitably happen.
He can't control any part of himself, even if it's just a finger.
But in the abnormal perception brought by the dark power filled in his body and the burning soul fire, he felt that his condition was unprecedentedly good.
It was as if the other party's words had a charming magic, directly controlling his body. But it was like a choice he made. The force majeure followed the flow and the feeling of such a contradictory feeling came at the same time, which made the captain feel absurdly illusion. Could it be that he was schizophrenia?!
No, no! This ‘person’ must have done something during the period when he was unconscious!!
As if he woke up from a dream, he finally remembered the detailed prompt information of checking the space, and then he was stunned.
[The will of the higher devil is stripped away!... The spiritual body of the contractor number 4869 is partially weakened, and the spiritual attribute value is permanently reduced by 30 points!]
[The Higher Ghost Rider Bloodline Awakened by Contractor No. 4869!...Unknown Energy Fusion Conflict!]
[The contractor number 4869 has an unknown energy mutation effect!...The seal failed!]
[Unknown energy fusion begins, unknown mutation effect is being calculated!... Law power conflict occurs, seal fails!]
[Unknown bloodline material appears, automatically triggering the fusion effect!...The advanced evil spirit knight bloodline activation!]
[The advanced ghost knight enters a special awakening state!...The third level abnormality was detected!]
[Space attention increased, contractor temporary authority + level 1... Seal successful!]
...
“Here, it’s here”
A faint voice pulled the captain's thoughts back to reality, and then he looked at the figure that stopped ahead, and his eyes widened in an instant. The depth in front was the boundless dark void. I don't know how long it had not appeared or that it had not appeared since its birth. However, although the light of the torch in the passage behind him was weak, it still shone on the edge of darkness.
He saw that the edge of the passage was only a few meters ahead of him, and further outward was the boundless dark void, as if it was an unimaginable cave deep in the ground, with no outlines around it. Standing on the edge of the passage by feeling the huge height contrast, it was like he and others standing at the exit of a certain peak cave and looking down at the bottom of the cliff.
Huge, bottomless, abyss that devours everything!!
It was as dark as ink, without even a reflection at all, as if a few steps ahead was the abyss leading to the center of the earth. No one could tell what was hidden in the endless darkness, and no one could tell how huge the huge underground space that appeared in front of him was. Even the captain felt an indescribable fear in an instant. If he could, he would rather be killed directly than thrown into the bottom of the abyss.
Unfortunately, by this time, he could no longer make any decision.
"You were before, the Hall of the Dead underground in the city, which is the cemetery where the residents of this vassal state are buried, so the breath of death is extremely strong... After all, over the years, even if I have never taken the initiative to start a war, normal birth, old age, sickness and death still have taken away nearly 10,000 lives." At this time, I stood on the edge of the cliff in front, and as long as there was a little more than one centimeter distance, it seemed that Pei Chen, who would fall into the bottomless abyss, started talking to himself.
As the other party said, the captain's mind consciously or unconsciously also surged the experiences that had just come along the way:
There are only two people walking side by side, while the walls on both sides are hollowed out and arranged into three layers. Many places have been placed in dry and haggard bodies, but well-preserved corpses are both humans and aliens... I used to think that this was a vicious and vicious sacrifice ceremony, but I didn't expect it to be a simple place to bury the dead? But this form seems a bit inconsistent?!
As if he didn't look back, he saw the captain's doubts and suspicious expressions. Pei Chen said lightly: "The gods and Buddhas have left, the heavens have closed, and even the samsara of the other side has stopped operating long ago... The ghost messenger is just a simple soul-catching person, but even the road to becoming a Buddha has disappeared. How could there be any possibility of reincarnation? Although I am not willing to care about these things, I have accepted the loyalty they have given, so it is natural that it is necessary to arrange the problems after death for them..."
Kingdom of God?
Subconsciously, the first reaction of the listener is this noun.
"...Forget it, you definitely don't understand anyway, but I can tell you clearly that this is not a region directly connected to the other side. It is just a conceptual noun, not a direct border in space and region." Pei Chen, who looked back, seemed to smile, "In fact, this is the dark space deep in the planet. Since its birth, there has been no light, and there is not even a concept. It is the space environment closest to the void of the universe, and the purest dark power is also surging..."
"... Star, ball?" The captain's face became paler. The gentle and peaceful smile in front of him seemed to have transformed into an existence that was more terrifying than the hell lord Mephisto. Even the darkness behind the other party could not be concealed.
"Is it strange? Even with your current strength, it is enough to fly out of the atmosphere, right?" Pei Chen said with a chuckling, but he accidentally made another blow. "We have long discovered that the earth is round, and there are some guys who live directly on other stars. Why do you find such a simple thing incredible?"
"..." After finally curbing the chill of fear that frozen the soul in his heart, the captain took a deep breath, "What do you want?"
"Very good. Although I'm going to be calm, it's better than not even pretending to behave..." Pei Chen said lightly, "But don't worry, the high devil will I get from your soul before has helped me a big favor... In exchange, I won't do anything to you. In fact, I'm going to give you a big gift."
“…”
"The inheritance of power on you is strange. In fact, it is not complete, or something deeper is involved. Although the high-level devil will is suppressing your shackles, it is also protecting you from entering the insurance field you are unfamiliar with and should not be involved in." Without giving the other party time to think in detail, the Lord of the Ghosts and Monsters talked freely, "I want to give you a limited level of improvement, but there is not only a shackle on you... and the other is that your own power accumulation is far from enough."
There are naturally true and false in this passage. If He really wanted to completely transform the other party, the protection rules of that space would not be able to be kept. However, Pei Chen did not intend to alarm the alien space now, so he gave up after a few tests. The purpose was not to let the alien space detect the exact existence proof of "itself" so quickly.
It is a good pretext to lure the guy in front of you to take the initiative to sell yourself. Anyway, even the infinite space can be hidden by itself, so naturally understand the operating principles and general mechanisms of the core system of this main god game. Many times, they only mechanically apply past experience to automatically deal with various situations encountered by the agents under their jurisdiction, and do not have the ability to flexibly deal with emergencies and infer the problems in it.
Unless there is a clear evidence that the agent is in absolute trouble, the situation where the information of the space itself may be disclosed.
Sure enough, the captain was distracted at once: "What?!"
Pei Chen glanced at him deeply and said, "Meme infection... Your inheritance comes from the origin of a higher dimension, but the transformation of different worlds and phases has caused a certain distortion and deviation of the wide-area effect of that meme. However, the existence nature and form of the meme form itself will not change due to the difference in the outer cloak."
"What, what?!"
The contractor who had strengthened the bloodline of the High Ghost Rider suddenly heard another mechanical sound prompt from the reincarnation space, followed by a list that only he could see (think himself) accompanied by the prompt message, appearing in front of him, which seemed very conspicuous.
[Ghost Rider Bloodline Enhancement, Original Version!...Special Type: Meme Form Enhancement!...The origin of the first Ghost Rider meme, comes from the Marvel series world, has an extremely complex history, but it is mainly the choice of the Revenge Spirit and the soul of the human host with the appropriate conditions, fusion and then performing the revenge duty. Only when the human host and the Revenge Spirit can the orthodox "Ghost Rider ghost-rider". Therefore, the Ghost Rider is also called the Wrath of God (the-wrath-o-god)...]
