From the end of the world

Chapter 234 The Great Impermanence
Now at least there is good news, which is that I don’t have to worry about whether the image I have worked so hard to build in the past will be shattered.

According to the current development, even if Ma had known about my past experience of pursuing strange events from other channels, he probably would not believe that I was truly pursuing strange events. Similarly, I could not use this past experience as material to increase the persuasiveness of my true words. The reason is simple. Not to mention other people, even I myself could not completely determine whether I was truly pursuing strange events or just pretending to be a fool before experiencing the incident in the basement on the 15th floor.

Should I then turn around and say that the reason I need Ma Zao is "to anchor myself in the weird world"? Because the weird world and the common sense world are merging rapidly, if I don't have Ma Zao in the future, I will probably be completely rejected by the weird world and the common sense world, and then completely excluded from the civilized world of mankind - the persuasiveness of this reason is simply extraordinary.

However, there are still a few problems with this reason: First, the so-called "may be completely rejected by the weird world and the common sense world in the future" is just my past speculation. In fact, whether people like me who are qualified for the Great Impermanence and those Great Impermanence will really face such a terrifying situation remains to be discussed;

Second, if it is just to anchor myself in the strange world, Ma Zao is actually not necessary. When I have made enough connections in the strange world in the future (I don't think it will take a long time), the relationship between Ma Zao and I will become unstable again. At that time, although I can use the card No. 2 Small Bowl, it is the last resort.

The most important point, what I really hope is that my true words can reach Ma Zao's heart.

Is it because I am afraid of being excluded from the civilized world of humans that I need her? Although it would be a lie to say that I am not worried about this matter at all, this reason only appeared in my mind afterwards and it does not really touch my heart.

Even if I have enough fate in the weird world in the future, I will never want to let go of Ma Zao. Her existence itself symbolizes adventure to me. It has been less than a month since I met her, and I have already experienced so many ups and downs. Maybe she would say that she is carrying bad luck, but in my mind, she is simply the goddess of luck.

After the conversation, Ma Zao took out the sharpshooter's head and continued his investigation.

Whether it is investigating the true identity of Da Wuchang behind the magic gun, or finding the soul of Chang'an taken away by Yin Yue, it is a task that takes time.

"Zhuang Cheng, can you also let me see the nameless pendant that Fufeng gave you? I want to investigate whether there is a back door." Ma Zao looked at the prop hanging on my chest.

Her tone and expression at this moment were very natural, as if she had forgotten the memory of the previous topic.

I took the pendant off and handed it to her, asking, "Can your investigative abilities even figure this out?"

"It will take at least overnight," she said.

Last time, Lu Youxun gave her a prop that could bear the soul load on behalf of the user. She should have been able to find a backdoor in it, but she just didn't have enough time. Of course, she probably expected there to be a backdoor from the beginning, and was prepared to counter it.

Thinking about what happened last time, I thought of another item, and then said, "Oh, I have another thing here, can you help me investigate it?"

"What is it?" Ma Zao was curious.

I summoned a ball of fire and pulled out a broken round mirror the size of a palm, covered with burn marks.

This broken round mirror is suspected to be a relic of Dr. Silver Mask - I am not sure, to be precise, it is a strange item I found in the old base of the Humanitarian Department in the real world, where Dr. Silver Mask died. Combined with the traces of fire on it, it gives me the feeling of "Dr. Silver Mask's dropped item".

Previously, I had always hidden this broken round mirror in the flame. It sounds like my flame is some kind of space storage prop, and the actual nature is probably similar. Because I can freely decompose my belongings into flames and entities, the flame can indeed play a function similar to the virtual game prop bar.

Since the condition is "personal belongings", of course I can't store items that are too large. And even if the size meets the condition, it is impossible to store too many at the same time. Otherwise, it will not be enough to carry with me - this inherent concept itself is probably the root cause of my inability to do it.

There are many unclear parts of my superpowers. Take the national first-class demon hunter medal of the young girl Lu Chan for example - that silver medal can be said to be dropped by Chen Long, and it is also an item abandoned by Lu Chan in the past, so it is an ownerless object. Further, it can also be regarded as my trophy, and of course it can be used by me as a personal item for flame teleportation.

However, if I think about it carefully, the silver medal was still the body of the girl Lu Chan at that time, and it was the object of her obsession. Can I really treat it as "my thing"? I didn't think about it carefully at that time, and took the silver medal for more than one flame transmission as if it was a matter of course. If I accidentally thought of this question, I would definitely not be able to do it.

For a power like "mana", whether it can be done or not is just a matter of one thought. That is why Silver Moon, who can think in a different way from humans, is so feared.

Right now, I don’t know what the broken round mirror in my hand means. Anyway, it should be a good idea to take it to Ma Zao for investigation first.

After listening to my explanation, Ma Zao took the broken round mirror and said that he would investigate it carefully later.

"This should be a magic prop." She said, "Not only investigate... I should be able to repair this mirror to some extent." She can actually repair magic props... I said conservatively: "Just in case, let's finish the investigation first."

She nodded and began to investigate the two nameless pendants that we were going to use on our bodies.

I was not idle either. I released some "fireflies" to learn more about the Fufeng base. At the same time, I also checked the situation on his side through the thermal energy markers set on the winter car body.

He was reading a magazine quietly in his room at the moment. Just one second later, he suddenly raised his head.

Fu Feng once said that Dong Che has a perception far superior to that of ordinary adult demon hunters. Perhaps because of this, Dong Che now seems to sense that I am watching him.

Instead of showing any anger, he said happily: "Zhuang Cheng... No, Senior Zhuang Cheng! Are you looking at me? Do you want to chat with me?"

I just looked at him, with no intention of chatting with him, and then I looked away as if nothing had happened.

Now I want to focus on another more important matter.
-
Since Fufeng told me before that "there are at least four Great Impermanences on the mountain of supernaturalism", I just remembered that I have never had a deep understanding of Luo Shan's information in this regard.

Because I was not interested in the political vortex of Luoshan, I was indifferent to which Great Impermanence supported transcendence and which Great Impermanence supported governance, and so on. I avoided those thoughts intentionally or unintentionally. Only now did I realize that I didn't even know which Great Impermanence there were in Luoshan.

I asked the Zhu family through "Firefly" for information about the Luoshan Great Impermanence, and Mr. Zhu quickly compiled a detailed information and passed it to me.

Although Luoshan is full of mountains, they can basically be divided into two poles: supernaturalism and world governance. Now there are eight great impermanences in Luoshan. Since four of them are for supernaturalism, the remaining four should all be for world governance. Four against four, it seems very balanced. But it is not.

Among the remaining four Great Impermanence, only two are politicalists, and the other two are neutral. And according to public opinion, the style displayed by the two neutral Great Impermanence is more inclined to transcendence.

Most demon hunters don't seem to be so extreme as to think that they must turn mortals into slaves, or even into resources and consumables, but they all think that they should have a more superior position in society. From this perspective, most demon hunters actually tend to be politically oriented. However, Luoshan is an organization where the superstructure determines everything, and Luoshan's position on politically oriented is definitely not optimistic.

It's no wonder that Fufeng wanted to win over me, the "future great impermanence". If I was won over by the other side, it would undoubtedly make the situation worse for the ruling world.

I will not pay attention to those for now, but instead focus on the names of these eight great impermanence.

Among them, the four great impermanences of transcendentalism are Gua Tianshi, Zhuanlun Wang, Mingzhuo, and Shenzhao;
The two great impermanences of the hegemony are Fa Zheng and Jian Feixian;

The two neutral Great Impermanence are Old Boxing God and Willow Shadow.

The Great Impermanence behind the God Gun is likely to be hidden among the four Great Impermanence of Transcendentalism. Not only that, there may be more than one person coveting Ma Zao in secret, and the others are also somewhat suspicious.

And number six is ​​also hidden in it...

While thinking about it, my eyes were attracted by the name "Wheel-Turning King".

In the folk mythology system, the Wheel King is one of the Ten Kings of Hell. Unlike the other Kings of Hell who preside over the horrific and tormenting hells, the area he presides over is, to put it simply and crudely, "the reincarnation of the soul."

Luoshan's Great Impermanence is the mythological prototype of the King of Hell. Among the names of Great Impermanence that have no connection with the King of Hell, this Wheel King is the only one that can be directly associated with the underworld.

Ma Zao is the "person who came back to life" in mysticism. From another perspective, he can be said to be a soul that escaped from the hands of the King of Hell.

If the King of Hell orders you to die at the third watch, who will dare to keep you alive until the fifth watch... This proverb comes to my mind.
