Chapter 47 What is supposed to come will come.(1/2)
“There is no spiritual energy in this era…”
"Or it should be said that this world itself is ordinary, and there are no supernatural areas or aspects..."
Walking on the street and walking side by side with the witch, Gu Mo mentioned the special features of the real world. The most special dimension called reality is that it has no special features and does not have extraordinary and mysterious soil.
I don’t know if it existed before, but it gradually declined in modern times, or it did not exist from the beginning. However, for now, at least this is the case that Gu Mo can confirm.
"Only the monsters exist?" Kikyo raised her eyebrows slightly.
"No, even monsters don't exist. At least I've never seen them before..." Gu Mo nodded casually and then found that the witch's gaze became a little strange when he looked at him. He blinked and added decisively, "I'm actually not a monster."
The witch looked at him even more strange.
She naturally didn't believe it.
"Okay, this is not important anyway. In short, it's what I just said. There is nothing special about this world... At least I haven't discovered it yet. And according to my observation, it's not just a problem of spiritual energy, but even the soul cannot stay naturally, and it will dissipate immediately at the moment of death."
Gu Mo lowered his head and thought about it, and told him the information he had at present.
"After a person dies, will the soul... disappear? In this era, there is no reincarnation?" Kikyo's face changed slightly, and this news really made her feel a little impact.
No wonder I can't sense the existence of the afterlife...
A dead person like her who was originally just wandering around the world will actually be called and attracted from the underworld at all times. This is something that can be felt accurately. The realm line between this shore and the other shore is not clear to her. The laws of the next life are always calling out as if there were nothing.
But after coming to this era, all of this suddenly disappeared. She even had the weird illusion that she had completely survived. After listening to this person's explanation, she understood what might be the cause of this situation.
"It is not entirely true. Even from a scientific point of view, there is a so-called theory of reincarnation. All molecules will flow, and everything can be converted into other things... All things in the world are born in heaven and earth, and will eventually return to heaven and earth. The living body as a small source is always circulating in the world of the big source."
Gu Mo shook his head and said his thoughts-
"No matter whether it is life, spirit and soul, it probably will not be separated from this order and constraints. The concept of reincarnation has never disappeared, but it is still in its most primitive form."
The witch frowned gently and thought, she couldn't understand some words, but the general meaning was to understand them. She also thought of another troublesome question: "So... in this era, there will be no dead souls. Is this the case?"
"It should be...but we can use the power of the Four Souls Fragments, or consider my previous proposal."
Gu Mo smiled heartily, not thinking that this was a problem.
Platycodon fell silent.
He was not in a hurry to urge him, just let the witch think carefully, and at the same time he thought about what he had just said, and then spread his strong spiritual thoughts, which instantly covered all directions, and in an instant, I didn't know how many people were swept through, whether it was pedestrians on the street, customers in the shops, or office workers in the buildings in the distance.
In his telepathy, it seemed as if countless red dots appeared on the small map, and countless highlights appeared in the deep space of consciousness. From it, he read countless emotional auras and various spiritual wavelengths of different frequencies.
Every highlight represents the heart of an ordinary person.
Even a spirit that is worse than ordinary humans-
They are often kittens and dogs walking through the city, or some more unremarkable animals, such as mice in the sewer...
These highlights, like faint fireflies, will be ignored if they are not careful, although they seem to be in front of his vast spirit that seems to be burning. He feels so intuitively that the mind of ordinary people is already vulnerable to him.
It was like paper, it could not withstand his random touch at all.
Just one thought can easily destroy any highlight, destroy the corresponding soul, crush the fragile spiritual will, and make the corresponding person suddenly die...
"It's such a terrible feeling..." A thought flashed through his consciousness, and Gu Mo felt this deeply. Power is indeed easy to make people lose themselves, because his most intuitive feeling now is like an adult squatting on the ground, watching the ants coming and going on the ground.
As long as people reach out, they can easily kill a large group of ants...
It seems that the ants living in the flat world are not in the same dimension, but they cannot understand the existence of human beings at all...
In this case, the concept of good and evil really becomes very pale. If you cannot recognize this and consciously restrain yourself, then it is normal for power to make people lose... After all, people will kill ants and children will tear apart dragonflies. These things are not necessarily driven by "evil", but may not care at all.
It’s like seeing a flower on the side of the road and picking it off as you walk by. There is no difference in this behavior in essence.
Shaking his head gently, Gu Mo took back the spiritual thoughts that had been radiated across the board.
There are only mice in the sewer, and there are no hidden monsters in the crowd. The spiritual energy in the atmosphere is extremely thin. At the moment of death, the emotional aura and spiritual wavelength of the people in the hospital quickly dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye... There is nothing, and there is no miracles and magic in the world.

After restraining his divergent thinking, Gu Mo looked at the shopping street in front and said in a relaxed tone: "It's this, Kikyo... By the way, if you have anything to like, please be sure not to be polite to me."
Of course, that's what he said, he actually knew it was useless. The witch never seemed to have anything to want. Unless he was curious when shopping, he would take a few more glances and would not stop at all at all. Many times, Gu Mo was very persistent to buy her something.
Nodding gently, returning to reality from his thoughts, the witch looked at the prosperous shopping street in front of him, and still looked a little surprised in her eyes.
The streets of Tokyo not long ago made her feel prosperous, and she felt that it was unimaginable modernization, but the city in front of her once again shocked her... She didn't pay attention last night, after all, she was a little absent-minded at that time, so she really felt all this until now.
"This is also a big city, and it is more than 20 years apart. In addition, the era we went to before was a period of time when the bubble burst, and it was relatively depressed and sluggish..."
As if she knew her doubts, Gu Mo explained.
The two stood next to the entrance of the shopping street, watching the people coming and going in front of them, many people seemed to not realize their existence, as if they were standing in the psychological blind spots of passing pedestrians. It was a corner that was easily forgotten in everyone's subconscious mind, which directly led to the denied and neglected of the two's sense of existence by passing pedestrians.
This is the inspiration obtained by Gu Mo from the "inconspicuous" qualities he possesses. In conjunction with group spiritual interference, it only takes a very slight magnitude to make the affected people ignore their sense of existence.
As long as there is no interaction, no attention is attracted.
Before that, they were "invisible" in the psychological and attentional aspects of most irrelevant people around them... The essence is slightly higher than the simple and crude method of forcing the interfering thinking, which is also a reflection of Gu Mo's increasing improvement in spiritual power.
…………
...
Although Penglai Island is Gu Mo's territory, it is still not the place where he can directly teleport into the interface by switching the interface.
It's not like a game. You can switch from the big map to your own private space with just a single click...
In response to these improvement needs, the system has provided many tailor-made upgrades and transformations. For example, using Shen Jiuye’s Mirror of Life as upgrade material can further integrate Penglai Island into the closed space behind the mirror, expanding the scale of the island space, while also making up for the convenience of entry and exit.
——According to system instructions, the permissions for transmission through the mirror can be unlocked.
Gu Mo naturally chose to use the Mirror of Life as the upgrade material for the island. After all, it was already seriously damaged and its value as a normal equipment has basically been lost. What he is interested in is the special space connected behind the mirror, but it is naturally better to be able to be integrated into the island through the system's regular power.
only……
The upgrade material has been put on, and the confirmation button has also been clicked.
However, there was no expected result of the transformation, but a progress bar appeared in front of him...
Well, it seems that upgrading and renovating the home also takes time. In this case, Gu Mo can only temporarily use the previous method of landing the island... That is, let the island appear in a relatively near-shore location and then rush over by himself. It is really inconvenient.
Another problem is...
——The barrier of time of the island.
This great barrier that covers the entire island and nearby waters is not without its drawbacks. While it can protect the island well, it will also cause the time flow rate between the island and the outside world. In terms of the time on Penglai Island, the roaring cauldron will stop for one day a year. On that day, the barrier disappears and the island will reappear...
The phenomenon observed by the outside world is that Penglai Island is born once every fifty years...
One year on the island is equal to fifty years outside. If you spend two years on the island, a century outside will be about to pass. Such an exaggerated time flow rate ratio... This is definitely a good place to wait for the game to be released.
Gu Mo can adjust the barrier, including changing the barrier's fixed restart cycle, opening and closing the barrier at will according to his own wishes, etc. These can be done, but they cannot adjust the time flow rate difference caused by the large barrier, and there is no way to affect the specific proportion.
Because this is the nature of the barrier of time itself, it is a basic performance that has been determined from the beginning when it is laid out.
So when there is no way, Gu Mo can only temporarily close the barrier after landing on the island... As long as the island is far away from the coastline, there is no big problem in the vast sea. After all, except for the barrier, Penglai Island is not without other protective measures.
The waters near the island are filled with heavy mist, and large areas cover up the outline of the island.
When Gu Mo set foot on the land of Penglai Island again, his mood was completely different from before.
After all, with the mentality of a copy of the strategy and the mentality of patrolling one's own private territory, how can these two situations be the same as those of you... Look east and west, I just feel that the mountains and waters suddenly become very different, and it seems to be more pleasing to you.
When they arrived at the edge of the village by the lake, the two stopped.
"The village has been abandoned for too long... It's not just a few repairs, but if you want to rebuild it, the workload is a bit too high." Gu Mo said casually, looking at the opposite side of the lake, even if it is there, there are many houses.
The lake is very large, and the village is built around the lakeside, showing a crescent shape.
The continuous houses surrounded the entire lake's shoreline for almost half of the circle, and looked neat and orderly, but at a glance it was estimated that there were at least hundreds of them.
Although they have been abandoned and destroyed now, the size of the village can still be seen.
"I can drive Shikigami, it won't be too difficult..." The witch looked at him and said calmly. She thought seriously and felt that this method should be the most appropriate. As long as she invested enough Shikigami and had enough time, she could complete this thing alone.
"That's too tiring..."
Looking at the stack of cut paper men that Kikyo took out from her sleeve, Gu Mo pulled the corner of his mouth, and then he realized why the witch only wanted to buy this when shopping.
However, Shikigami is not omnipotent. If you drive a large number of Shikigami at once, it will be a heavy burden on the witch's spiritual power and mental power. Judging from her plans, it seems that this is the case... Gu Mo thought quickly and happened to think of the mage paper he had just purchased.
That is a complete production process about golem.
Judging from the concept of golem revealed in it, this kind of puppet is similar to Shikigami. It is a creation of spells and can act through spells. However, its advantages and disadvantages are also very obvious. It belongs to two different types of spell puppets that are just opposite and complementary.
Shikigami doesn't need too much preparatory preparation. Like Kikyo, a piece of paper can be cut into a human form and can be used as a carrier for carrying the theory of the art. However, it also needs to be maintained by the caster at all times. Once the connection between the art is disconnected, everything will naturally be knocked back to its original form, like the electrical appliance being unplugged from the power cord.
The golem requires very sufficient preparation. From creating the body of a magic puppet to moving it with the power of magic, it is a very important step. However, after the manufacturing is successful, it is basically a very ideal servant or guard, and there is no need to worry about maintaining it.
The former is suitable for handling temporary emergencies and solving some short-term problems, which are convenient, fast and cost-free. The latter is more cost-effective, but it is also more suitable for performing some long-term work.
Not only to rebuild the village, but considering the future operation and maintenance of the island, Gu Mo thought it would be better to let the golem come in handy. He thought about taking out the note, and the witch looked over it lightly. She didn't know why. It was clearly a text I had never seen before, but it was weird to understand its meaning.
"I have a way. Although it will be a little more troublesome, it should be better in the long run..." Gu Mo said seriously.
"What is it?" asked the witch calmly.
"Just... huh?" Just as he was about to express his plans, he stopped at this time. Gu Mo raised his eyebrows and looked in a certain direction.
Kikyo also looked at him in confusion, but she did not notice any special movement. The monsters hiding in the rivers, mountains and forests were also very quiet.
To be continued...
