From the end of the world

Chapter 251 VS Great Impermanence 1
I first asked this question: "Ma Zao, the historical information of the Sharpshooter's head... How long will it take to investigate in this direction before we can find out the true identity of the Great Impermanence behind the scenes?"

"...It's hard to say." Ma Zao answered honestly, "If we're lucky, we might be able to find out within this week. If we're unlucky, we can't guarantee it even after two months. The deeds left by the Great Perfection are also mysterious, and the difficulty of investigating them is much higher than investigating Doctor Silver Mask."

"So...what if I help too?" I asked.

"You help?" She was puzzled. "But, Zhuang Cheng, you can't investigate historical information, right? How can you make any effort on this matter?"

I looked at the courtyard constructed from Ma Zao's memories and said, "I have invaded your soul, and now we are in this dream together... In other words, the fake moon in the water can make our spirits blend. So can this magic item also make our spirits achieve a synchronized relationship?"

In the past, the young girl Lu Chan once shared the "firefly" perception network distributed in the independent reality space through mental synchronization with me; in turn, I could also share the information of the detection results she obtained by using the detection spell during this period. It was through this cooperative relationship that we successfully figured out the secret of Chen Long's full strength in the independent reality space. And now, Ma Zao and I can actually do the same thing.

Her efficiency in investigating historical information is limited by her consciousness processing speed, and in my fire elemental form, my consciousness processing speed is so high that it can be said to be excessive. Many times I just use this super computing power as "bullet time", which of course greatly wastes the advantages of this attribute.

If I can share this advantage with Mazao through mental synchronization, her efficiency in investigating historical information will increase by who knows how many times. Although I haven't made a formal comparison, based on my experience in previous battles with other opponents, my consciousness processing speed is likely to be more than a thousand times faster than those demon hunters at the master and master levels.

The key to the problem lies in whether the illusion power of the fake moon in the water really integrates the function of mental synchronization - in fact, this is the easiest problem to solve.

Even if there is none, I can go to Fufeng and ask if I can borrow a magic item with similar functions. Fufeng Base is a big company, and since Fufeng wants to win me over, he should not be stingy in paying such a small favor.

Besides, mental synchronization should not be a difficult effect to achieve. In the past, Lu Chan was not a demon hunter who was particularly good at mental spells, but both the young girl Lu Chan and Lu Youxun were good at mental synchronization.

I then explained my entire train of thought to Ma Zao, and after listening to me, she seemed to think there was hope.

"The fake Moon in the Water should be able to synchronize with the mind," she said. "Although most of the functions of this magic item are broken, those are basically the advanced and complex parts. The basic parts can still function normally. If you just want to cause a simple illusion to the target, or affect its mental state, it is all possible, including the part of synchronization with the mind."

After saying that, she thought for a moment, and then added: "If you learn how to skillfully use the power of illusion and deepen your understanding of illusion, you can do more things. For example, control the five senses, hypnotize and brainwash, modify memory, etc. In addition, it should be possible to simulate the effect of the Black Rope Locking Heart Ring and force the other party to be unable to remain silent or lie. The effect may even be more powerful than the original Black Rope Locking Heart Ring."

These are just the basic functions of the fake Moon in the Water? Then what kind of monsters are those advanced and complex parts?
Only then did I realize that I seemed to have picked up a very extraordinary magic weapon.

"There is a threshold for using the fake Moon in the Water. You probably can't use the fake Moon in the Water for mental synchronization right now... But I can do it. Let me help you with the operation from now on." Ma Zao said.

"You can actually use illusion?" I was surprised.

Seeing me say that, she seemed to be unable to hold back a smug smile, but she quickly calmed down and said in a tone of indifference, "I don't know illusions, but some of the techniques for using magic are universal. These are the foundations of my previous study and training at the Gospel Academy."

“I have forgotten most of my memories at the Gospel Institute, but the results of my study and training have not disappeared…” I thought.

"Skill memory and event memory are different... I think someone told me this at the Gospel Institute," she said.

Although I have never come into contact with patients who have lost their memories normally (the term "normal amnesiac" may sound a bit strange), I have heard that most amnesiacs will not forget how to speak and write, or how to use chopsticks and other common sense, even if they forget their past memories and their identities. Ma Zao's situation seems to be classified into this category.

I handed the fake Moon in the Water to Ma Zao. Perhaps because this was a dream, I didn't realize I was holding the fake Moon in the Water until I made this move. Ma Zao took it normally and tried to figure out how to use it. The fake Moon in the Water in reality should still be in my hand, but this didn't seem to prevent her from using this magic item in the dream.

She seemed to have quickly figured out how to use the fake Moon in the Water for mental synchronization, and then placed it on top of her head, and summoned the head of the magic spear with her left hand. Then, like Lu Youxun and the young Lu Chan in the past, she stretched out her right hand to me. I understood, and followed suit, stretching out my right hand, and gently holding her small, white palm.

An invisible object like a paper cup telephone string appeared in my consciousness. One end was connected to me, and the other end was connected to Ma Zao in front of me. Mental synchronization was successfully achieved.

"Well, I'm going to start." She raised the sharpshooter's head in her left hand.

After I nodded, she used the power of regression to investigate the historical information inside the head. Maybe it was because this was a dream, all spiritual changes would unfold in a seemingly material form. After Touma started to act, the head of the gun exploded from her left hand, turning into countless information torrents that filled my vision.

If we want to describe this flood of information in an intuitive way, it is a mosaic. The colorful mosaic overwhelmed me like the noise of a distorted TV screen. Looking closely, each mosaic is like a tiny screen showing a dynamic picture with extremely low resolution.

These are the historical information that Ma Zao saw and had to be carefully selected. Of course, the images I saw may not be consistent with Ma Zao's real experience, but it is enough to show her difficulty. To find specific information from so many tiny and unpredictable information is like finding a specific grain of sand on the beach. It is not just "If you are unlucky, you can't find it in two months." For ordinary people, no matter how much time they give, they will not get anything.

Perhaps the experienced Ma Zao has his own tricks. I don't need to think so much for now, just contribute my computing resources. I entered the fire element form to observe the mosaics; and through the connection of mental synchronization, Ma Zao seemed to have obtained my perspective and quickly filtered out the redundant parts. A large number of mosaics disappeared randomly from my field of vision extremely quickly.

I don't know how long it will take to process all the information at this speed... When this thought came to my mind, Ma Zao's voice rang in my mind: "At the fastest, it will take an hour, at the latest an hour and a half."

"It can be faster."

As I spoke, I strengthened my fire elemental body, and my processing speed increased significantly. Ma had already made a surprised sound in my heart. I felt proud to be able to do something beyond the expectations of the person I liked, but I also carefully suppressed and concealed this emotion.

Based on past experiences with telepathy, it seems that only my superficial thoughts are easily heard by the telepathic partner, so a certain degree of concealment should be feasible. I wonder if Ma Zao sensed my smugness just now? If she sensed it, even I would be embarrassed. I still hope that I can continue to maintain the image of being calm in front of her.

Ma Zao didn't seem to react to this, it seemed that she didn't notice it. I was slightly relieved. Then, a mysterious change suddenly attracted my attention.

In the endless torrent of mosaic information that was like the Yellow River, I saw a pattern that looked like a human face. At first, I thought it was just an "overfitting" phenomenon, just like humans would mistake the triangular structure of stains on the wall for a human face.

Soon, I realized that the pattern looked more and more like a blurry human face, and the other party even looked at me with a dangerous look.

I felt a sense of familiarity from the blurry face, just like when I met No. 4 Xuan Ming and No. 6 in the past. There seemed to be a huge monster lurking behind this "human face".

The "human face" stared at me coldly with a clear will.

"Discovered?" Ma Zao was shocked.

What happened——I wanted to ask this question, but there was no need to ask any more questions. I had probably guessed the truth of the matter.

This "human face" undoubtedly corresponds to the Great Impermanence behind the magic gun.

The Great Impermanence has discovered us!
