Chapter 1096: Giants (5K)

Li Ang ignored the curious or awe-inspiring gazes of all passers-by along the

way, and walked into the headquarters of the Demon Scientists Union.This is a spacecraft with a semi-circular ring shape as a whole, and its

surface is covered with ferocious spines of black metal.You can see weird-shaped artillery everywhere, wires and cables with unknown

meanings similar to blood vessels, and light bars shining with unknown rays

that resemble eyes."It's quite fashionable."Li Ang, who had a deviation in aesthetics, sighed with emotion, walked into

the door, and immediately saw the two "female" receptionists behind the

counter.A light-red complexion, dark horns on top of his head, a perfect oval face,

eyes like water, fascinating, with a mole on the corners of his eyes, wearing

a cool dress, gloves on his hands, and a harpoon-shaped tail behind him .It is the legendary succubus.The other, with a halo on his head, wearing a Greek robe, with wings on his

back, is an equally beautiful angel.The appearance of these two receptionists can be regarded as super high even

in the killing game where plastic surgery techniques are rampant.But, however,Even the most philanthropic, unrestrained player, and the most enthusiastic

players will not have any thoughts about them.The lower limit of morality for the Demon Scientists League is not the lowest,

only lower.A beautiful receptionist who looks like a succubus + angel, maybe the

predecessor is something weird.Maybe not a woman, maybe not a human being, maybe not even a living carbon-

based creature...If you really want to hook up, just wait to meet the tragic fate of being

collected, and even the eternally inextricable fate.Li Ang has also heard of many bizarre rumors of the Demon Scientists Alliance,

such as that they can transform a goblin with a sore face and never bathe into

a beautiful girl of the elven race.It can cramp and peel the hideous demons summoned from the abyss, and

sacrifice them into slaves without self-awareness.This group of people has superb science and technology across countless

fields, and morals that are cheap enough to be sold publicly.But they are very sensible and cautious,He has never done too taboo behavior in the real world, so he has not been

publicly shouted and killed by official organizations such as the Global

Occult Coalition.(A small number of chaotic members will be liquidated by themselves. In a

sense, they have to abide by the rules even more than many organizations. They

are hovering between lawful evil and chaotic evil, depending on the individual

members)"Mr. Lee,"With the shadow of the person’s name and tree, the succubus receptionist on

the left immediately stood up and said politely: "Do you have any needs? Do

you need me to inform the president and vice president?""No, I just came here to buy some information about the soul."Li Ang waved his hand, and just wanted to ask where the Demon Scientists

Union's foreign store was. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure wearing

a dark yellow robe and his entire face hidden in the shadow of his hood. .It is the founder of the Union of Demon Scientists, the side of truth."Let me receive it."The side of truth floated over, glanced at the two receptionists, turned his

head and said to Li Ang hoarsely: "Long time no see, Mr. Li, your psionic

skills have improved a lot compared to when you lost the world.""Your Excellency is the same."Li Ang nodded. The side of Truth is also a psionicist, majoring in the Mind

Creation Department, and his psychic level is unfathomable. Even the current

Li Ang can vaguely feel the psychic energy lingering around him. ."I have stored some books and materials related to the soul in the guild

library, which is open to middle and high-level personnel of this guild. Mr.

Li can sit down and browse through the materials. If there is a need, he can

also borrow copies of those books for free. ."The side of truth seemed to know what Li Ang was going to say, and said in

advance: "This is regarded as our Demon Scientist League, respect and kindness

to the strong.If you don't like this form, you can also pay some small rewards. ""remuneration?"Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "For example?""For example, to answer some of my questions and puzzles about psionic

skills."The Strategy of Truth said: "The six schools of psychic powers are very

different from each other, and they are very far apart.I want to get some basic information about the mind enchantment system to

expand my knowledge. ""Great."After thinking briefly, Li Ang agreed with the other party's opinion. In the

entire killing game, players who practice psychic powers said that there were

no more, and no less.However, there are no more than fifty high-level psionicists.It is better to have someone who can exchange experience and information than

to explore on your own."Then it's settled."The side of Truth smiled slightly and sent a friend to Li Ang to request a

link. After Li Ang agreed,The two went through the hall and came to the library on the east side.The library of the Union of Demon Scientists looks quite normal.Several well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, separated from each other by a

certain distance, each sat behind a long table, reading the books silently by

the light of the lamp.But if you look closely, you can find that the books in their hands are all

black magic books made of leather and printed with devil patterns.The library staff who walk through the three-meter-high bookcases and organize

books are all demons.The side of truth snapped his fingers, and dozens of books of different

thickness flew down from the shelves and placed them neatly on the long table.

Li Ang was not polite, sitting down and flipping through it quickly, taking

time to discuss with the side of truth from time to time. Psionic experience.The Demon Scientist Alliance’s knowledge of the soul is indeed deeper than

that of Li Ang and all the organizations.They believe that the soul can be divided into two concepts, soul energy, and

soul "shape".The former is like universal energies such as spiritual power, ether, and

elements, which are widely distributed in the body of life in nature.The number of soul energies in various life bodies is different,There are fewer small species such as ants,Higher mammals such as humans, cattle and sheep have relatively large total

soul energy.And because the latter possesses a higher level of wisdom and can generate

memories and feelings, its soul energy will naturally condense and take shape

not long after birth, possessing the so-called "shape", which is the

individual soul in the popular concept.Can inherit the shape of the past-for example, the soul of a sheep is the

shape of a sheep, and the soul of Sadako is the shape of Sadako.After the soul has a fixed "shape", it can inherit part of its memories,

feelings and personality, and become an inseparable part in the true sense.In the mythological system of various regions, the so-called reincarnation is

actually the same thing-after the death of all the dead, the soul shape

collapses and turns into unconscious soul energy.There is an underlying rule in the real world that automatically circulates

soul energy,Transfer the free soul to the naturally conceived embryo."The essence of the soul is actually not so mysterious. At a higher level, the

soul is the lubricating oil that drives all living things in the world. It is

the innate power of all creatures. At the same time, it is also the innate

power of all creatures from the beginning of birth. The'tax' of the world.And lower..."The palm of the side of truth swept gently on the table, expelling a few gold

coins and red crystals with scared faces printed on them,Li Ang saw at a glance that this was a soul condensed into substance."In ancient Egyptian mythology, Maat, the daughter of the sun god, is in

charge of the underworld trial. She will use ostrich feathers to measure the

good and evil of the deceased. Only those who do good and accumulate virtue

can gain the next life.In Greek mythology, the underworld boatman Charon would ask all the dead for a

gold coin as a fee for the boat to travel through the Styx. "The side of truth put away the gold coins and crystals, and said lightly:

"According to some recent tumultuous theories, the gods in many myths in the

real world are nothing more than extraordinary beings slightly stronger than

us.For the strong, the soul is currency, which can be bought, sold, distorted,

sold, and traded at will.All the ancient underworlds, yellow springs, and underworlds,In fact, they are just powerful transcendents,Using the fixed mechanism of the world’s roots to automatically circulate the

energy of the soul,Come for your own benefit.It's like fighting for turf in a monopoly,Those so-called gods established the so-called Hades near the well of the soul

of the world to confirm their beliefs.They profess themselves to be the masters of the farmland and manage the

farmland,But even without them, plants can still grow in the farmland.Just like in the current real world, all the gods are dead and asleep, and it

doesn't affect the continuation of samsara.And those gods, the reason they want to do this,Investigating the reasons, I personally think there are three points.One, the total amount of free soul energy in the world is limited.Second, the soul can provide the power of faith, and it can also be

transformed into other forms of energy.Third, if the ancient transcendents wanted to survive and continue under the

oppression of the killing game, they had to use the power of faith of

intelligent creatures to embark on the path of consecration. ""and many more,"Li Ang thought for a while and interrupted: "The total number of soul energy

is limited?""Ok."Truth nodded and chuckled: "Are you trying to say that something is wrong?In ancient times, the number of primitive people was only a few million, but

now it has expanded to more than seven billion. "Li Ang nodded.Upon seeing the truth, the strategy said: "You can understand soul energy as

water resources on a planet, with limited weight and various forms.Nowadays, the Earth’s seven billion people are indeed very large, but compared

with animals, it’s not enough-there are 200-400 billion birds.Mammals, including mice, bats, etc., are one trillion.The number of reptiles and amphibians has reached hundreds of billions, and

the total amount has not changed much. ""Similar to water resources, it can circulate indefinitely, right."Li Ang thought for a while, and then asked, "I can understand the second

point, but how to explain the third point?In order to continue the self, the ancient gods established the underworld and

intercepted some soul energy for their own use.If they really have this kind of technology, the best way is to directly carry

out large-scale brainwashing.Or encourage reproduction and expand the total number of intelligent

creatures. ""Yes."The side of truth nodded, "This is also the fourth point I want to say.For a long time, ordinary people, low-level players, and even officials of

various countries have been questioning one point.Since there were players in the past, why didn't they have a profound impact

on the real world?In modern times, it can be explained by the theory that the intensity of the

killing game is low, the player scale is relatively small, and the strength is

weak, which cannot have an impact on the world situation.So in ancient times, what about the gods who could build the kingdom of God?Their strength can completely change the direction of the world. "Li Ang paused when he heard the words, this is also the question he has been

thinking about since he embarked on the path of conferring the gods."My opinion is that on the one hand, they have no reason to do this. On the

other hand, their previous attempts have been wiped out by the killing game."The side of truth slowly said: "For the transcendent who chooses the path of

the gods, the number of believers is extremely important, but the quality of

believers is also extremely critical.Take our Demon Scientists Union as an example,We can use our soul as an oil-like energy source, a gold coin-like currency,Distort, modify, control, drive the soul at will, and even tamper with the

‘shape’ and memory of the soul itself.As long as I want to, I can mold the souls of thousands of people into an

absolute obedience to me, and provide me with endless power of faith. "The side of truth paused, and said slowly: "But this is not realistic.Soul energy and soul shape,It is essentially water, the relationship with ice.Soul energy itself has no attributes,Only a true soul that has formed a shape and possesses rich feelings and

memories can it produce the power of faith.The falsely shaped souls are extremely inefficient in producing the power of

belief and have no value at all. In other words, only the souls that have

lived are worthy of being used as currency.This is why the ancient gods, and so many kinds of ** creatures we have seen

in the script mission,Unanimously, they adopted the traditional method of establishing sects to

accumulate the power of faith for themselves.As for why they discourage reproduction, the reason is also very simple,After a killing game is over, or after losing,Most of the transcendents died, and a few deities and demigods depended on the

worship of the gods to survive.At this time, the killing field itself will use the most direct way to erase

most of the impact caused by the previous Supernatural.For example, destroying the kingdom of God that has no gods,There is no longer the cave mansion of the fairy master,Even directly modify the memories of mortals on a large scale to make them

forget the phenomena of the extraordinary that they have seen. "Li Ang frowned and asked subconsciously, "Where is the evidence?""..."There was a moment of silence on the side of truth. From the void, he slowly

took out a two-handed giant sword made of unknown metal that was tall and

placed it gently on the wooden table in the library."When I was on lv10, I experienced a script mission, and a Nordic barbarian,

at the king's dinner, killed a half-man and half-devil ogre monster.Later, the barbarian and I killed the mother of the demon who came and

attacked us. "The side of truth calmly said: "I became very good friends with the barbarian.

I thought that after the script mission, we would never have a chance to meet

again.But I didn't expect that when I was lv18, I received the script task again. In

the task world, I saw the barbarian.Fifty years have passed since I saw him last time. He has long been embraced

as a king, and I am still young.After we met, we sighed with emotion, but his kingdom was attacked by a fire-

breathing dragon who coveted the kingdom's wealth.Villages and towns throughout the kingdom were burned by dragon flames, and

the people suffered heavy casualties.So he took an old body, put it back on the battlefield, took the sword, and

the eleven lord knights in the kingdom, sincerely invited me to the dragon's

nest.In the dragon’s nest, we were violently attacked by the dragon descendants,His lord knights abandoned him and fled,In the end, only he and I stood in front of the dragon. "The side of truth paused, and slowly said: "The strength of that giant dragon

is close to that of the imperfect wild lion, and I couldn't compete with it at

that time.The barbarians and I worked hard to kill him, but my friend was also bitten by

the dragon, with dragon poison in his body.I took out all the precious equipment and props on my body, but after all, I

couldn't stop his death.At the end of his life, he begged me to protect his relatives and descendants

to inherit the kingdom,I agreed, and left the dragon's nest with the head of the dragon,Returned to the kingdom, killed all the lord knights who had fled, and

supported his relatives on the throne.Before leaving the script task, he buried his giant sword in the Dragon Nest

Hill. "The side of truth slowly exhaled a sigh of breath, and said quietly: "My

friend~~ that Nordic barbarian named Beowulf.And this sword is the giant's sword he used to knock down the Sea Demon and

slay the dragon.I clearly remember that I buried the giant sword under the hills of the script

world,However, in the real world after leaving the script task, I dug it out on a

hill in Scandinavia, and on the sword, I saw that I personally engraved it to

commemorate him. Runes.In Beowulf’s time, his kingdom was vast, and people built towering statues and

temples for him.But these, things that have really existed in the world of scripts, or the

real world in history,Thousands of years later, the timeline we are on is all myths and legends.The statues and temples have all disappeared, and there are no ruins.Only this giant sword proves that I have really been there and that I really

have a friend named Beowulf. "Side of Truth took a deep breath, looked at the silent Li Ang, and said: "The

script tasks that players experience are not only in different worlds, but

some are even real earth on the real timeline.But those legendary experiences have all turned into legendary stories under

the force majeure of the killing game.In other words, the reality we know is just the reality that the killing game

wants us to know.We are also in the cage. ""..."Li Ang was silent for a long time. In fact, he also experienced a similar

script task.For example, the Guhan Temple where Chai Chai met,The half-body skeleton left by the mandrill appeared in the Yinshi temple more

than a thousand years later.Instead, it turned out to be the cause, and became the medium for Li Ang to

trigger the script task of the Guhan Temple.Maybe after their generation of supernatural beings pass away, it will become

the bizarre story to be spread in the mouth of the next human...
