From the end of the world

Chapter 146 Undercurrent 2
The Lord of the Divine Seal only told the seven of us to collect the fragments of the Divine Seal, but he didn't say how he would get the fragments of the Divine Seal back into his own hands in the end.

Although he proposed to us the deal of "exchanging the fragments of the divine seal for answers", not all of us would take the bait, and not all of us would have many questions. There were even some rebellious people like No. 4 Xuanming and No. 6.

Therefore, Zhu Shi and I both believe that the Lord of the Divine Seal has the means to forcibly recover all the fragments of the Divine Seal in the final stage.

In the worst case, we, the so-called chosen ones, will have to face the desperate situation of being killed by the rabbit. It is a simple logic that once all the fragments of the divine seal are collected, we will be useless. And for useless people, there is naturally no need to fulfill the promise. He may not intend to fulfill the wishes of the final winner.

If nothing unexpected happens, his method of recovering all the fragments of the God Seal is probably the binding relationship between the chosen and the fragments of the God Seal. Since the Lord of the God Seal can interfere with us through this binding relationship, it is entirely possible that he can also interfere with other fragments of the God Seal that we hold - this is how I understand it.

However, there seems to be some problem in the binding relationship between me and the fragment of the divine seal. Can he do the same thing to me?

I can't put my hope on such an uncertain thing. Instead of doing that, it's better to change to a more practical idea - since the Lord of the Divine Seal still needs the seven of us to collect the Divine Seal fragments, it means that he can't forcibly recover the Divine Seal fragments that are not in the hands of the seven of us.

In other words, if I get new fragments of the Divine Seal in the future, I must at least give one of them to Zhu Shi, or Ma Zao, or other trustworthy people who are not under the control of the Lord of the Divine Seal, so as to prevent the Divine Seal from returning to its original state in the hands of the Lord of the Divine Seal.

Considering that the Lord of the Divine Seal said that he could summon new chosen ones from the outside world, this method was not completely safe. Therefore, simply launching one of the fragments of the Divine Seal into outer space where no one could reach it could be considered as a final method that could be explored.

"Zhu Shi, what do you think of number six?" I asked. "There shouldn't be many Great Impermanence. Which one do you think number six will be?"

"A Great Impermanence characterized by destructive white light?" Zhu Shi pondered. "The search condition of 'white light' is really too vague. Many Great Impermanences have mastered a variety of powerful spells. It is difficult to accurately locate them based on the impression of emitting white light. But as far as I can guess, number six is ​​at least not a Great Impermanence other than Luoshan."

"How do you say it?" I asked.

"The Lord of the Divine Seal should only choose humans as the chosen ones of the Void Realm. As far as I know, there are only two Great Impermanence-level humans other than Luo Shan." She said, "One is the Fire God Xuanming who rebelled against Luo Shan, and the other is a person called the 'Lord of Taoyuan Township'. The latter has no grudge against Xuanming, while Number Six and Xuanming are very at odds.

"If number six belongs to Luo Shan, then it makes sense. In Luo Shan's eyes, Xuan Ming is a traitor who killed his own people, so it's normal for their relationship to be tense."

Taoyuan Village Lord? I'll write down the name and ask about it later.

But Zhu Shi was about to go to class, so after we finished talking about business, she said goodbye to me and left.

Before leaving, she gave me the results of the physical examination - this is what I asked her to do some time ago. Because I wanted to know the source of super powers, I gave her some of my own blood.

Although she has confirmed that my superpowers do not come from my blood, blood is also a medium for the soul, and a blood test seems to reveal a lot of information about the soul. Moreover, my body is made of flames, and my flames are my spirit, so it is not an exaggeration to say that my blood is the manifestation of my spirit.

The results of the examination were unclear. Although a high concentration of mana could be detected in my blood, I still didn't understand where my superpowers came from. And it seemed that because I had been away from my attention for a while, the mana in my blood declined sharply. It was said that the concentration was very high, but by the time it was time for the examination, I didn't know how much of it had disappeared.

I was not disappointed. From the reactions of Zhu Shi and Lu Youxun, it was clear that my superpowers were absurd, not to mention common sense, even from the perspective of a demon hunter. They belonged to the category of unknown things. It was really hard to hope to investigate the unknown things by conventional means.

I really want to know the source of my superpowers, but on the other hand, I am not in a hurry. There is no need to rush to figure out a problem that has not been solved for so many years.

I went to look at the other documents Zhu Shi had given me, which explained my duties as a Luoshan heretic Wuchang.

Unlike ordinary impermanence, the outer impermanence does not need to obey Luoshan's orders. It is more of a title than a job. Their obligations are to report their current situation to Luoshan regularly and to report in advance when they go to other places. If you don't have a job, you can also apply for a large amount of living funds from Luoshan, housing and car purchase funds are calculated separately, and someone will pay for the five social insurances and one housing fund on your behalf. If there are elderly people at home who need to be supported or you are sick and in urgent need, you can also apply for additional subsidies.

From the perspective of ordinary people, it is indeed quite generous, and as a condition for keeping potential high-risk social saboteurs in line, it may be a good deal for Luo Shan. The money reward for cooperating with Zhu Shi to track down the weirdo last time has long been deposited into the card. The amount is not as much as imagined, but according to Lu Youxun, Luo Shan’s contribution to Wuchang is mostly recorded as internal contribution points. This point can of course be directly exchanged for cash, or it can be exchanged for magic resources, such as talismans and magic tools. The exchange catalog was sent to my mobile phone in electronic form. It was so dazzling that I was dazzled by it.

Because my performance and contributions were underestimated in the incident report, I don't have many points yet, so I can't exchange them for anything decent. Zhu Shi did tell me that if she had anything she liked, she could exchange it for the points she had accumulated so far, but I wasn't shameless enough to do that, so I declined.

And now I already have the Outer Path Impermanence Sword. The value of this sword is actually far more than my total score. Its appearance and function are extremely in line with my aesthetic concept, which can be regarded as temporarily filling my stomach.

After returning home, I told Ma Zao what I had discussed with Zhu Shi, and she basically agreed with our conclusions.

In the past few days, under the effect of soul healing drugs, Ma Zao's condition has improved significantly, and he no longer feels sleepy easily. In addition, she has also screened and checked the list of soul-loss patients sent by Zhu Shi.

Ma Zao had initially intended to read through the photos and resumes of nearly 100,000 people carefully, but the workload was too huge. Assuming she spent half a minute reading each person's profile, she would have to read it for a month without sleep. I also understand why she read it so carefully, because there might be more than just No. 2 Little Bowl in it, there might also be survivors who were killed by her unlucky star physique in the past during the apocalypse.

Later, she had no choice but to compromise temporarily, aiming only to find bowl number two, screening out eligible candidates from a list of 100,000 people, and then checking them one by one.

In the end, it was not found.

She couldn't find any girl whose face was similar to that of Xiaowan No. 2 in Ma Zao's memory.

That night, Ma Zao sat on the sofa, checking the list again and again to make sure she had not missed anything. I poured her a glass of iced Coke and placed it on the coffee table in front of her.

"... Could it be that amnesia really has nothing to do with my time travel?"

She looked a little bewildered. She seemed to have prepared herself mentally. She was born in modern society, but she traveled to the apocalypse due to amnesia, and then traveled back again. She seemed to have convinced herself to accept this theory, but in the end, she was just beating cotton with her fists.

I think it is too early to draw a conclusion now. As long as we can find the No. 2 bowl from the list of amnesia patients, it can prove that Ma Zao's doomsday travel is closely related to amnesia, and then we can infer that the souls of other amnesia patients have traveled to the doomsday era. If we can't find it, it doesn't necessarily mean we can disprove it.

"It's also possible that Xiaowan is different from you. She didn't travel to the apocalypse because of amnesia, but she has lived in the apocalypse from the beginning." I tried to suggest other possibilities. "It's also possible that she was not included in the statistics for some reason, such as she is not in the country now, or she was treated as an ordinary vegetable by some local hospitals.

"Or maybe Xiaowan is still a healthy person now, and she became a patient with amnesia in the near future, and then her soul in the future traveled to the apocalyptic era even later."

"Zhuang Cheng, your last speculation is too..." Ma Zao wanted to refute it at first, but then fell into thought, "...No, it doesn't seem unreasonable..."

This is just one of the ideas I came up with. I have read so many fantasy stories about time and space reincarnation in the past, and I have also read some ideas that are more imaginative and self-consistent than this one.

However, I am beginning to think that linking "loss of soul" and "doomsday travel" together is not so reliable. Are we working in a direction that runs counter to the truth? I occasionally have this thought.

Ma Zao's time travel seems to be related to No. 2 Xiao Wan, at least that's what the latter once said. Unfortunately, No. 2 Xiao Wan hasn't sorted out her memories yet, and I haven't been able to get the truth from her before. I can only wait for next time.

But compared to this, there is one thing we must focus on now.

For some reason, the person in charge of the amnesia issue in Luoshan has not contacted us until now.
