An infinite journey starting from paradise

"Is it because of the disorder of time and space here that you choose to perform the ceremony here?"

Looking at the demon in a quantum superposition state before him, Lin Shangren opened his mouth and munched on several large mouthfuls of chocolate and various high-calorie candies. Although he was unsure of the demon's ultimate goal, one thing was certain: there was a system reward for killing it.

Of the three major system quests in this world, only "Demon Hunter Ginseng" was progressing the slowest. Before this, Lin Shangren had only killed one demon, Kitami Reika, and the rest were just a group of demon followers. He had to take advantage of this opportunity and give it a good grind.

"Schrodinger's cat."

Actively triggering the power of the Four Beasts Dice to transform himself and the two swords in his hands into quantum ghosts, Lin Shangren once again slashed at the demon phantom in front of him.

The effect is good, it cuts off all ties.

But the effect is not good enough.

Because the demon was a body of conscious energy, it healed after being cut in half. The Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Dagger, whose enchantment hadn't yet expired, effectively destroyed the demon it struck. However, if the enchantment persisted, Lin Shangren's mana bar wouldn't be able to withstand it.

"Since it's an energy body, it should be able to absorb their energy for its own use, right?"

Lin Shangren recalled the first time he faced the devil.

"Waterbird Dance, start!"

Chapter 165 Time and Space Disorder

Outside the Ningyo Village, there is the Koso Shrine.

Chicao Xianjing, who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom, suddenly opened his eyes. Feeling hot all over, he instinctively moved towards his side.

"Not yet?"

He felt something soft, which he thought was his wife's breast.

"have you slept?"

The movements of his hands became more and more outrageous. The word "outrageous" may not be appropriate. After all, he and Ci Cao Weiye are a legal couple. Although he is a son-in-law who marries into the wife's family, he still has "husband's power".

In Japan at that time, there was no such thing as "sexual intercourse with a married woman." Sexual intercourse was a mutual obligation for both spouses. It was normal for a husband to be unable to sleep late at night due to an erection and to force his wife to have in-depth sexual intercourse.

But the prerequisite is that the person sleeping next to him is really his wife.

“Not yet…?”

Kenjing Shigusa noticed something unusual, the feel was not right. Although the nipple he was playing with was similar in size to his wife's, the texture was very different. The skin of this nipple was not as smooth as his wife's, and it felt looser when pinched.

Just when Chicao Xianjing was confused, the woman next to him suddenly turned over and pressed him down. With a little force, she sucked in the handle that he was standing up.

"Woo!"

Ci Cao Xianjing's body tensed up, and he actually fired a shot. In the faint moonlight, he could see clearly who was riding on him.

"Mother…?"

Don't get me wrong, the woman riding on him is not his biological mother, but his mother-in-law, Rioko Shigusa. After all, there is no such term as "mother-in-law" in Japanese, so just understand it.

Rioko Shiragusa was only in her early fifties, and to some less picky observers, she might be considered somewhat charming. But Kenshin Shiragusa was not that kind of person. On the contrary, he was a very honest and kind man. The fact that he sent his daughter out of the village against all odds showed that he was not of the same mind as the Shiragusa and Hinakami families.

So, after seeing that the person who pushed him back wasn't his wife but his mother-in-law, Xianjing Chigusa naturally wanted to forcibly disconnect him. Unfortunately, the person who was suppressing him now... now the person suppressing him was no longer a "human".

Possessed by a demon, Rioko Shigusa reached out and grabbed Kensei Shigusa's throat, her hips still throbbing. Every time she lifted and lowered her hips, Kensei Shigusa would orgasm. Within a dozen or so swings, Kensei Shigusa died. But the demon on his hips refused to stop, draining him until he was a dried corpse.

Similar incidents occurred throughout "Changcun." The humans and beasts, previously driven by the powder mist to engage in frantic intercourse, underwent transformations. One or both partners were possessed by a demon, and the possessed partner would drain the unpossessed partner to death. If both partners were possessed, they would continue their frantic intercourse until one partner was drained to death.

Lin Shangren, who is in the "deserted village", is still unaware of the changes that have taken place in the "ordinary village". At this time, he is fighting those "unspeakable" demons.

The Cthulhu Mythos often uses the word "indescribable" to describe the various gods and monsters within, expressing that the images of the Outer Gods and the Old Ones are far beyond human comprehension.

But the so-called Cthulhu mythology is ultimately a product of human imagination. When people want to visualize the "indescribable" in it, they can only create some marine-like soft bodies, tentacles, and shells, and some evil color combinations.

Although the appearance of these quantum superposition demons that Lin Shangren was facing at this time could not be called truly "indescribable", it could still be considered "indescribable" that humans could concretely imagine:

The demon's humanoid body was the flesh-pink of a cheap masturbator, twisted and misshapen, limp and melting. Its surface was covered in grooves like the cerebral cortex, from which jutted wet tentacles. At first glance, it looked like a spirited brain-fuck masturbator, complete with a pile of pink dragon octopus strips.

Faced with this kind of thing, Lin Shangren naturally couldn't show mercy.

"This little chic thing is both disgusting and interesting. I guess some girls with special hobbies will like it."

Gripping the Saishier longsword upright and the Fengling Yueying in reverse, he tapped the ground with his toes and twisted his waist to exert force. Like a heron touching the water, Lin Shangren leaped high into the air, his two swords leaving two sharp, sharp blade marks, which then transformed into a sharp vortex cloud that exploded among the demons.

The demon in quantum superposition couldn't see the quantum ghost Lin Shangren, but could be cut into pieces by his sharp slash. When the demon's body fragments wanted to reassemble, they would be absorbed by Lin Shangren in the form of pure energy.

Hit and suck at the same time, invincible in group battles.

At this moment, Lin Shangren, who was performing the Water Bird Dance and rushing into the monster pile to cut the grass, was like the "Ice Shooter" who was skating, masturbating, and knocking down more than a dozen policemen. He was extremely ferocious at the same time as he was having a great time.

Lin Shangren, who was very happy with the killing, did not indulge in the unparalleled mowing. While slaughtering the demons, he was also thinking about what had just happened.

"The demon used the lives of those women to coax me into having sex with them, seemingly to perform some kind of ritual. Now it seems it wants to cause the Warp to overlap with real space. So, how far does this ritual extend?

It's not just the horizontal range, but also the vertical space-time. Will the ritual only affect this single space-time?"

Thinking of this, Lin Shangren quickly reached out and touched the bodies of the Gaoyue sisters in the shadows, returning to the space of Changcun. As soon as he entered Changcun, he heard the sounds of men and women having sex and screams that resounded throughout the village. After rushing out of the Hinami family mansion, he saw the pink mist covering the entire village.

In the pink mist, the grotesque scene of the subspace also vaguely emerged, like a Dali painting with a pink filter.

"Not only the deserted village, but also the ordinary village has begun to merge with the subspace. What about other time and space?"

Spreading out his shadow touch, he captured the coordinates of a shadow in a parallel spacetime. Lin Shangren used his latent shadow to teleport into that spacetime, and upon landing, he saw a couple in the act of intercourse.

The wife sat on her husband's hips like a madman, biting the flesh on his neck frantically. It was obvious that she had been possessed by a demon.

"shut up!"

Lin Shangren originally wanted to use physical exorcism and bird medicine to save the couple, but before he could do anything, the wife, who was riding her husband, actually sucked him into her body, and her body exploded, leaving only the shadow of a demon in its place.

Seeing this, Lin Shangren could only kill the demon with one sword.

"Doesn't demonic possession require a mass ceremony? Yes, the whole village is frantically carrying out the bloody and brutal demonic possession ritual."

Sexual intercourse and cannibalism are the very acts of the devil. The devil is the very act of stealing and robbing people. The devil is the very act of stealing and robbing people.

"The sacrifices of a village cannot reach this level, but the xn of a village may not be able to do so." Lin Shangren thought.

Obviously, not only Changcun and Huangcun, but also other disordered time and space here were affected by the powder mist.

Thinking about it, Lin Shangren teleported several times. Sure enough, similar situations also occurred in other time and space, and even intensified. There were actually many women who were perfectly possessed by demons. Their lower bodies were like the flesh of a demon. The 6th grade was a very important factor in the development of the Chinese nation. It was a very important factor in the development of the Chinese nation. The 6th grade was a very important factor in the development of the Chinese nation. It was very important for the development of the Chinese nation to

This area, which already had disordered space, became a complete mess.

The sudden change caught Lin Shangren off guard, and what he cared about most at this moment was not the village, but the world outside the village.

According to Gao Yue and Shigusa Rika, even if the children of heaven could travel to the past, they couldn't change the future; they were merely facilitating the occurrence of a predetermined future. The world would remain unchanged by their travels; it would continue as before.

And now, here, the Warp is gradually covering and replacing real space here. Modern and ancient times are progressing simultaneously, and demons are also descending into this area in various historical periods. Unless the humanoid village is completely isolated from the outside world, it will inevitably affect the original course of history.

As an outsider from another universe, Lin Shangren may not be affected too much, but the fate of Dongzi, Ximei and all the other people Lin Shangren meets in this universe may be completely different.

"What should I do?"

Faced with such a sudden change, Lin Shangren was a little flustered. But he quickly calmed down. He only speculated that the disaster here would affect the outside world. He had to at least give it a try.

After several consecutive teleportations, Lin Shangren finally found a time and space with a suitable time node. This was exactly four days ago.

He hadn't reached the Humanoid Village yet. If he destroyed the entire village at this point, he wouldn't be able to find it, and naturally, nothing would happen. And if his destruction of the Humanoid Village didn't affect anything that happened in the future, then his worries were unnecessary, and the changes in the Humanoid Village wouldn't affect the outside world.

"Do you really want to do this?"

Lin Shangren looked at the nuclear bomb in his system backpack.

[One-time Skill Card: Nuclear Explosion]

Skill Description: Powerful magic from a world of science fiction and fantasy. The origin of physics, as glimpsed by the origin mage Ivern, is a chain reaction of countless neutrons raging wildly. Upon use, it unleashes an explosion at a designated location with the equivalent of 15 tons of TNT (about the equivalent of ten little boys), leaving behind a powerful, long-lasting radiation in the area.

[Note: Ivern: "Big mushroom smoke straight, often nuclear sunset plain. But, what does it have to do with me?"]

Although he said that setting off nuclear weapons in Japan was something that everyone would welcome, Lin Shangren still hesitated when it came to actually nuking an isolated village. Not killing innocent people was his creed.

"There's still time. Let's go check on the Gaoyue sisters first."

Lin Shangren and others teleported to the Shigusa Shrine and entered the storage room in the back house, but they did not find the Gaoyue sisters. Not only the sisters, but the entire shrine was empty, and the Shigusa sisters were nowhere to be seen.

He returned to the Doll Village and teleported around to search for a long time, but he couldn't find Madoka Nami at this time, nor did he see Sawasei Nanako, Futami Yuu, and Songmiya Mikuri who were protected in his shadow.

“What’s going on…?”

Just as Lin Shangren was puzzled, he caught a glimpse of the black and red pottery doll buried outside Maeda Keiko's house.

"Wait, could that be the case?"

Chapter 166: Just build it! I'm eating!

A flash of inspiration.

Hayashi Shangren suddenly realized that he had been wrong about one thing all along: because Hinagami Rika traveled through time and space and caused the murder of Maeda Keiko, he subconsciously believed that in the chaotic Doll Village, time was still linear and followed the law of causality.

The world outside the Doll Village does develop according to linear time, but this is not the case inside the Doll Village.

In the previous article, we have discussed and explained the issues of time and causality. In the world system constructed by classical mechanics, everything does operate according to the law of causality, but this is not the case in reality:

Time does not exist, and cause and effect are not fixed.

From a microscopic perspective, the essence of the universe is the movement of countless microscopic particles. Under classical mechanics, these particles move according to the laws of physics, unaffected by the subjective will of intelligent beings. This translates to the macroscopic world as the law of causality and "unchangeable fate": the universe's future was predetermined from its birth, with no alternative possible.

However, under the framework of quantum mechanics, the motion of particles at the microscopic level is chaotic and erratic. Before a particle is observed, it could exist anywhere in the universe. Even before observation, it's not a particle, but a wave. This uncertainty translates into reality, where the future becomes the present. Before it's observed and experienced, no one knows what the future will hold; anything is possible.

For example, you see a cute girl in a Chongqing underground bar wearing a JK uniform, white knee-high socks, and pigtails. Until you actually lift her skirt, you have no way of confirming whether she actually has it, or whether it's bigger than you when you pull it out. Before you observe her, she's already in a quantum superposition of both beautiful girl and little boy. This is Schrödinger's boy-girl scenario.

Therefore, before intelligent beings with subjective will observed the world, the world existed in a state of superposition of countless possibilities, the "sea of ​​possibilities" that Lin Shangren and Ashrose saw as they journeyed across the universe. After the emergence of intelligent beings, their observations caused these possibilities to collapse into a definite reality, thus forming a fixed sacred timeline. Because intelligent beings perceive and understand the external world based on the law of causality, this sacred timeline is a linear time that conforms to the law of causality.

In short, time does not exist. It is only because humans understand the world based on the order of cause and effect that they have created a fixed time from countless possibilities according to the arrangement of cause and effect.

Cause and effect are not fixed. The minds of intelligent beings have only limited understanding, while the complexity of possibilities far exceeds the ability of intelligent beings.

Can you imagine a crazy world where the sun is green, the sky is filled with clouds made of mercury vapor, ovarian cysts rain down every day, and the ovarian cysts that fall to the ground turn into bitch brain flowers?

From a macroscopic perspective of causal logic, such a world cannot exist. However, from a microscopic perspective, it is simply a matter of microscopic particles moving in this state by chance. Infinite microscopic particles allow for infinite combinations, and therefore infinite possibilities. Just as countless gorillas could scribble together a novel like "Romeo and Kublai Khan," Father Pucci, by countless restarts of the universe, could ultimately create a new world where everyone is happy. Under the system of quantum mechanics, everything is possible.

These possibilities exist side by side, but humans cannot understand them, so even if they are observed, they will be ignored. Then that possibility will not collapse into actual existence, but can only continue to maintain the quantum superposition state of divergent wave functions parallel to the reality of the sacred timeline.

Although these possibilities "exist", unless they are in a higher dimension, intelligent creatures within the sacred timeline of the material universe will never be able to observe and access those possibilities that do not conform to the logic of causality.

This should have been the case, but in this universe there exists a subspace that is independent of the material universe, and in this subspace, intelligent creatures with subjective consciousness were born - demons.

The Warp, as a projection of the material universe, exists outside of it. Therefore, demons living within it can observe possibilities beyond the divine timeline. However, demons isolated from the material universe cannot directly collapse and merge those possibilities into the divine timeline of the material universe. Instead, their observations cause these bizarre possibilities to be projected and merged into the Warp. Therefore, some scenes in the Warp appear to be distortions of the material universe's reality.

While possibilities outside the divine timeline cannot be directly incorporated into the material universe, the Warp does intersect with the material universe to some extent, such as the mountains where the humanoid village is located, Bethlehem where Jesus was born, and Jerusalem, the holy city of the three religions. In these intersections, the "distance" between the material universe and the Warp is closer than elsewhere. All it takes is a certain "ritual" for the Warp and demons to enter the material universe. When the energy generated by the ritual is strong enough, the Warp can even cover and replace the local material universe.

When the demon enters the material universe intact, the possibilities outside the sacred timeline observed by the demon will gradually collapse into the material universe, thus forming a space-time disorder phenomenon in the area.

Therefore, what Lin Shangren witnessed at this moment was not a chaotic "past" but a "possibility of the past." It might be very similar to the past, but due to some phenomena that did not conform to the law of causality, it failed to become a true reality.

Looking at the half-exposed black and red pottery figurine, Lin Shangren decided to do another experiment. He used the shadows to dig out the buried figurine, then quickly teleported around the village, using shadow touch to continuously search for other figurines buried elsewhere.

In a short while, Lin Shangren dug out all the figurines and hid them in his own shadow. As the figurines were dug out, the already distorted village space became even more distorted, just like when Lin Shangren's arm was broken by the chaotic space.

Then Lin Shangren himself disappeared into the shadows, cutting off all contact with the outside world. Losing sight, Lin Shangren returned to the space of the "deserted village."

This time, the deserted village has changed. The space where all the figurines have been lost has "merged" with the deserted village. The images of the houses that look like they are about to melt and the villagers possessed by demons overlap with the ruins in the deserted village. Just when they are almost solidified, they suddenly disappear, as if they have been annihilated and no trace of them remains.

"Sure enough."

The deserted village is the true reality that exists on the divine timeline, while all others are possibilities in a quantum superposition. Unlike the subspace, which defies the logic of the material world, when possibilities that do not conform to the laws of causality are forcibly collapsed into reality, they are rejected by the established divine timeline and annihilated.

Those clay figurines are indeed used to stabilize space, but not to stabilize spatial disorder, but to prevent the possibility of collapse and annihilation of the existence of a parallel deserted village.

"For possibilities to become objective reality, they must be observed. Once observed, they collapse into the divine timeline and are annihilated. Therefore, in order for these possibilities to become reality while existing independently of the divine timeline, a conscious creature very different from humans is required as an observer.

And this thing can keep the possibility in existence, is it possible..."

Recalling that the clay figurine was made from the corpses of the villagers of the Humanoid Village, Lin Shangren had a hypothesis in his mind. To verify this hypothesis, he once again activated the Four Beasts Dice.

"Maxwell's demon."

The moment he activated his ability, an indescribable feeling of hunger and emptiness swept through Lin Shangren's body, and the scene in his vision began to change, from real matter to various energy particles.

He looked at the clay figurine in his hand. In Lin Shangren's eyes, the thing turned into a pile of dull gray particles in the shape of an embryo, and within the pile of gray particles was a particle ball emitting a light blue light.

The grey particles represent inorganic matter with limited energy, while the blue particles represent the soul.

As mentioned earlier, the soul is a special energy body that is separate from the material universe yet exists within it. The fusion of soul energy and the material body produces a layer of consciousness, which in turn forms intelligent life.

The clay figurine in Lin Shangren's hand is a man-made "intelligent life." It may not think, nor have any thoughts, nor even have the instincts of hunger or thirst, nor can it move. However, it can perceive the outside world.

It is enough to have perception, and perception is observation.

These figurines act as observers among the myriad possibilities that exist outside of reality. They observe the possibilities, and thus the possibilities collapse into reality. However, since they themselves do not rely on the law of causality to understand the world, the possibilities that become reality will not collapse into the divine timeline. Instead, they will become independent entities outside of the divine timeline.

This possibility is essentially a possibility of objective reality within the divine timeline, so it will be extremely similar to reality, with a humanoid village and its inhabitants. Although the villagers in this possibility are also intelligent beings, they cannot observe anything outside this isolated space outside the divine timeline, so they can only act independently within this possibility. If the span of the possibility corresponding to reality is a day, then the villagers in the humanoid village will repeatedly repeat the events of that day without noticing anything amiss.

After confirming this, Lin Shangren did not immediately disable the Maxwell Demon's ability. He was too hungry...
