Chapter 357 Paradox of Rules
(PS: To compensate for missing one chapter on the day I got drunk during the Spring Festival, all the current leaders of this book have completed the chapters. After that, depending on the weekly update situation, the leaders of the previous book that have not been updated will update chapters. There will be about two to three updates a week. Thank you all friends for your support.)
“…Isn’t this just a weird rule story?”

Wu Xianxiao sat on the edge of a tall building, looking at the crowd and vehicles below.

He had already made up his mind to make a big move, and was now waiting for the time when the flow of people was the heaviest at dusk.

Before that, he was talking to the three little animals, to be exact, Beelzebub was the one who talked the most.

"Do you humans often encounter strange rules when you enter the dream world?" Beelzebub asked.

Wu Xianxiao thought about his conversation with Gao Changgong and the others, and shook his head, saying, "Not too many. There are some strange stories about rules, but they are relatively rare. However, once you encounter them, you will often suffer a lot if you don't die. This is true for those more powerful extraordinary people, even those extraordinary people with titles."

Beelzebub thought and said, "As I said before, I have forgotten too many things, so I don't know the essence of the rule talk. But from the rule talk you described, this malicious pollution behavior follows a certain rule order that must be obeyed. Doesn't it sound very similar to your title?"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think carefully.

"really."

Wu Xianxiao nodded and said, "My three titles all have positive and negative effects. Regardless of whether they are positive or negative, they all behave like some kind of rule. At the same time, not only titles, but also fantasy objects have positive and negative effects. However, the positive effects are not as strong as the titles, that's right."

Beelzebub then said: "This is actually the effect of pollution at the source."

"What?"

Wu Xianxiao was confused again. He said loudly, "My three titles are the three origins? Don't be ridiculous. The origin is the terrifying existence in the Zero Point Three Dream World, okay?"

Beelzebub chuckled and said, "You are exaggerating. The so-called source of pollution actually refers to a process of pollution regularization. The terrifying existence in the 0.3 dream world is just a perfect combination of this rule and its own life. That is, He is the rule itself. For example, the complete version of me, Beelzebub the Lord of Flies, represents the realm of gluttony among the seven deadly sins, and also represents the cause and effect of nothingness. Although I don't remember it, the complete version of me should at least be a terrifying existence in the 0.2 dream world."

"To put it simply, they are all roots, but your title and fantasy objects are like the difference between a bucket of water and a drop of water in the ocean, while the horrific existence in the dream world below 0.3 is like the difference between small rivers, lakes, freshwater seas, and the entire ocean. Do you understand?"

Wu Xianxiao was stunned for a moment, then he said thoughtfully: "The essence is the same, but the magnitude is different, right?"

"That's right." Beelzebub said, "And this strange rule is probably the source of the out-of-control pollution, and it's only one step away from being lost."

Wu Xianxiao nodded silently and memorized the words out of control and loss in his heart.

He probably understood the difference.

The so-called out-of-control means that this root unfolds and turns into the rules of an area, but because it is out of control and cannot be controlled, all life entering the area will be troubled or tortured by it, and this is the rule weirdness.

As for the loss...the unknown existence in the pseudo-human dream world is the root of the loss, and has become something incomprehensible and indescribable.

After seeing that Wu Xianxiao understood, Beelzebub continued, "This is the idea I designed for you. Since it is the root, it must follow certain rules and domains, even if it is the root of out-of-control. At present, this weekend's scenario does not look like it will end, so to break the situation, we must break its rules. Since the rule of this thing is that you can commit suicide if you save enough points, then... if we don't allow others to commit suicide, what's the use of these points?"

indeed.

Wu Xianxiao nodded in agreement again, but he also had doubts, so he asked, "But can such a simple contradictory request break the situation? Isn't this source of loss too weak?"

Beelzebub chuckled again and said, "You are a martial artist, but you don't understand the principle of using a little force to move a huge object. If you want to use a little force to move a huge object, you must first have the strength of a huge object. It's the same here. If you make a request to others and ask them not to commit suicide, then you must first bear the negative points of the request. If you lose everything in an instant, then the other party will just be stunned for a while, and the entire logical gear will at most pause for a moment, and then crush your body and pass by. You still want to form a counterattack? What a sweet dream."

Wu Xianxiao was suddenly speechless.

Yes, the whole plan was based on the prophecy of the magic conch and the interpretation of the whispers, which was the premise that he did not have to fear the so-called torture. Otherwise, how could a speck of dust stop the operation of a thousand-pound gear?

Wu Xianxiao watched the sunset appear in the sky and more and more people were walking on the road. He whispered, "Okay, then I'll try out what the so-called torture is! And... is it a counter-kill by the rules? It's better to say that there is a bug. I also want to see what the root cause of this loss of control is."

As he spoke, Wu Xianxiao leaped straight down to the 40th floor.

When he was in mid-air, his feet kept stomping in the air, causing a series of shock wave ripples accompanied by sonic booms. Finally, he landed on the ground, which was the largest square in this urban area. There were densely packed pedestrians around, and the noise completely focused their attention. Many people looked at Wu Xianxiao falling from the sky in surprise, and their minds were blank for a moment.

Wu Xianxiao didn't care about them. He just took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his voice: "Everyone, come here!"

"I have a request that I hope you will fulfill!"

The sound was so loud that it spread far and wide. The people around were stunned, then they cheered in unison, raised their hands and shouted as they crowded towards Wu Xianxiao, as if they all wanted to hang on him. Wu Xianxiao looked at the crowds gathering around him, and he immediately shouted, "Stop, don't crowd me, now listen to my request!"

Countless people around him looked at him with scorching eyes, as if they wanted to devour him.

Wu Xianxiao felt a little disgusted. If these gazes were from women, it would be fine, but since there were half men mixed in, he felt uncomfortable declining them.

After everyone stopped crowding and looked up at him quietly, waiting for his request, Wu Xianxiao took a breath and shouted after getting ready: "Everyone, I ask you here..."

“No suicide!”

The sound was encouraged by Wu Xianxiao's great strength. It was loud and penetrating, and it spread directly to the edge of the square. Everyone heard it clearly, and then their eyes immediately became confused.

At the same time, Wu Xianxiao stood there in a daze.

“No suicide!”

“No suicide!”

“No suicide!”

……

Wu Xianxiao was a little dazed. He felt as if he had shouted the same words many times, as if he had repeated it many times in the past ten seconds, but he couldn't remember it.

Inexplicably, he had an illusion that just a moment ago he seemed to have returned to the dormant state in the cryochamber, as if he was suspended in an endless dark void.

Oh yes.

Wu Xianxiao suddenly came to his senses and asked why it felt so familiar.

In the incomplete version of the main brain awakening program that the main brain opened for him not long ago, he was wandering in the countless iterative personalities and negative backlash of the sea of ​​consciousness belonging to "Wu Xianxiao". It was the feeling he had just now, but because it was too mild and passed too quickly, he did not react much.

"That's it?"

Wu Xianxiao touched his chin speechlessly. He murmured, "It means to let a life repeat countless times in a short period of time, and then accumulate negative emotions, causing the personality to collapse and iterate into a personality that desires suicide? That's it? I overestimated you."

At the same time, everything around began to become unreal. Except for Wu Xianxiao and the little animal on his body, everything around him began to fall apart, like a crack on a mirror, and then the whole thing shattered, and Wu Xianxiao stood in nothingness.

"Judgment in progress... Judgment completed."

"Citizen Wu Xianxiao has left the first weekend scene and is being pulled towards the target weekend scene. He is still two weekends away from the target."

"An out-of-control Root Primarch has been obtained."

An old-fashioned pocket watch appeared in front of Wu Xianxiao. Half a bullet was inlaid on the silver cover of the pocket watch. He opened the pocket watch and saw that the time pointer inside the pocket watch was trying to move, but for some reason it could no longer move.

Wu Xianxiao said, "Master Brain, determine the identity of this pocket watch."

"Suicide pocket watch (rule paradox, fantasy materialized)."

"When the pointer moves backward, time will rewind for everything within five square meters. The longer the pointer moves backward, the longer the time rewind will last. The maximum rewind time can reach is thirty seconds."

"Negative effect. Every time the pointer moves backward, it will move forward. Every second it moves forward will make the holder want to commit suicide. The suicide psychology level ranges from level 1 to level 30, with level 30 being the most serious. At this moment, unless one has resistance to the soul sublimation attribute, any mortal will seek to commit suicide by any means."

Wu Xianxiao was very satisfied holding this newly acquired fantasy object.

The effect of this fantasy item is very powerful, and it actually involves the realm of time and space. As for the negative effects, although they are also very large, he happens to have two soul sublimation attributes, so it is really suitable for him.

At this moment, a radiant light suddenly appeared in the void ahead.

The second weekend scene is arriving soon!
