Deep Sea Embers Chapter 177: Crazy critical
After a loud bang, the whole world fell silent.
Morris felt his consciousness fluttering, as if he had completely detached from his body. He didn't know where he was, what year he was at this moment, and even a moment could be in a long period of time— - He even forgot his name completely, and he just floated in a chaotic nothingness, mindless, surrounded by turbulent light and shadow and dead silence that could not be understood by human intelligence.
It took Morris a long, long time to reassemble the fragmented mind and mend the incomplete humanity——
He remembered that his name was Maurice, he lived in the city-state of Pland, was a historian, and today he was visiting an antique shop in the lower town to find out what it was that nearly got him daughter's life.
He's found out...the sweet Warp family.
The countless roars and the piercing noise as if the ground were torn apart finally exploded. There was something he could perceive in this empty and silent chaos again. smashed, but just moments before complete annihilation occurred, he "saw" a cloud of chaotic nothingness suddenly gathering from all directions, wrapping all his senses in it.
This layer of "smoke" protects his mind, and uses a shelter called "ignorance and stupidity" to isolate him from the surrounding noise and light and shadow turbulence. Morris once again has the ability to think. The smoke looked around, and found that he could no longer see the crazy knowledge and truth, and only a flickering light caught his attention in the depths of the endless fog.
That is the shimmer center formed by many large and small light sources. It is a cover of red light, like a human head, and there are dozens of small blue, green and red light spots around it, like some kind of matrix It flickered quickly, seemingly irregular and seemed to contain some kind of "reason".
In the turbulent flow of light and shadow, these regularly flickering shimmers became the anchor point that completely stabilized Morris's mind, and he also realized what these shimmering shimmers were after a moment of astonishment.
He confronts Rahem, the **** of wisdom.
In every university and laboratory of the Academy of Truth, there is an image of Rahem, and there are corresponding words in the "Rahm Holy Code". This **** who holds both wisdom and stupid authority at the same time has no The human image pool has been hidden in the fog for a long time, and the outline that is occasionally revealed is a plane covered with shimmering light, with dozens of light spots revolving around a circular light.
"Lord!" Maurice was instantly excited, and he hurriedly saluted the light matrix that sheltered him, "Are you trying to guide me?"
Those flickering "lights" didn't respond to the old scholar, but there was a vague, low tremor, and it wasn't until after a while, that Morris heard Rahem's "voice" in the back of his mind. Come - "return, contact, understand, pass on."
"You..."
Morris looked at the light in astonishment. He couldn't understand Raheem's will, but the elusive **** of wisdom did not give him the opportunity to continue to ask questions, and a strong sense of rejection spread rapidly every second. Come, it only takes a moment for Morris to be "bounced" out of this chaotic and terrifying place.
His body swayed, his brain seemed to boil, information from the world flooded his senses, the sound of traffic on the street, the distant bell, the cold wind, the crisp sound of the bicycle bell.
Then the sound of fast approaching footsteps, the girl's concerned voice - a voice familiar to him as his "student".
"Mr. Morris?! Why are you here, are you all right?"
Morris raised his head in a trance and saw Nina standing in front of him, but the next second the girl in front of him turned into a flaming arc of flames, surrounded by flames that seemed to cover the entire city-state. Ashes, and then turned into human form.
He looked to the side with a stiff gaze, and saw a giant full of glittering stars overlooking him. The giant's body was filled with crazy light and shadow, but the giant suddenly turned into a kind-faced middle-aged man. He looked at himself with concern, his eyes filled with the shadow of the warp.
The street in the distance is also shaking, the ground under your feet is twitching, the doors and windows of the storefront are sometimes normal and sometimes turned into empty black holes, the sky is hanging down askew, the flowing flames and no (this chapter is not over!)

Formed limbs loomed among the clouds, and a passerby on a bicycle quickly passed nearby, his body suddenly reduced to shattered concrete, but returned to its original shape the next second.
Morris looked down at his wrist with difficulty.
He wears a bracelet of four colored stones.
But the stone did not continue to shatter, and his sanity did not continue to slide toward madness. The world in his eyes was seriously distorted, but his own thinking and judgment ability had recovered, at least partially.
The old scholar quickly judged his current state - a "critical state of madness" that was briefly balanced under Rahem's protection.
He's mad - but God made him sane. @ Essence/Book House j·h·s·s·d·c·o·m first update~~
Maybe he can recover, but he must find a way to recover before all the stones are broken before Rahem's protection ends, otherwise the short-term madness may collapse at any time, and no one can make him sanity rescued from madness.
While thinking slowly and hard in Morris's mind, Nina and Duncan looked at the old man who was clearly in a wrong state with concern.
When they were practicing their bicycles, they suddenly saw Morris standing in the open space next to them. Originally, Nina wanted to run to say hello, but halfway through the run, they realized that the expression on the old man's face was wrong.
Sluggish, stupefied, unresponsive to the outside world, like standing and falling asleep with eyes open.
"Isn't it a sudden Alzheimer's?" Duncan muttered suddenly, stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Maurice, then turned to look at Nina, "Your teacher has been in such a daze at school these two days. Is it?"
"No." Nina shook her head and said while stepping forward to support the old man's arm, "Teacher has always been in good health, how could she suddenly become demented!"
"You can't tell an older person." Duncan supported Morris, then looked up at the sky with the other arm, "Don't talk about it here, it's going to rain, first The old man helped him into the house."
Nina sighed, and with Duncan, helped the dazed Morris into the store, and then trotted to the open space outside to carry the bicycle into the house.
Duncan craved Morris into the chair next to the counter. The old man seemed to have regained a little ability to think at this time. He sat down with a stiff expression, his head slowly turned left and right, and his eyes finally focused on Duncan.
"Return, touch, understand, pass." Raheem's voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
Morris' remaining sanity seemed to understand the words somewhat.
Is this the will of the wise God? Let him continue to contact this "existence" in front of him?
Duncan in Morris's eyes has temporarily stabilized to a human appearance. Although the surrounding scene has been shaking and creeping, at least he can't see the starlight giant's body for the time being, and his reason will prevail. .
Morris has realized that this ordinary-looking "antique shopkeeper" is by no means the existence that should appear in the real world.
Even my "student", the girl who always smiles gently and is always sunny and optimistic is not a normal human being.
Continue to stay here, continue to communicate with this "family", and it may not be long before I cross the critical balance point of madness and slide from temporary madness to the abyss of permanent madness.
But the voice of the God of Wisdom seemed to take root in his mind, causing him to sit on the spot involuntarily. At the same time, another bolder thought gradually filled his heart.
In the "critical state of madness" protected by the gods, no matter how frantic his reason is, he will not completely lose control. As long as he does not cross that critical point, he can even face it directly in this short period of equilibrium ~IndoMTL.com~ Warp and self-preserving humanity.
It is said that the greatest and craziest knowledge-seekers of Crete even take advantage of this, and after a lifetime of preparation, they will actively embrace the "madness threshold" with potions and rituals, and in their lifetime There is only one chance to spy on the truth in the warp, bring precious knowledge to the world and then die.
Now, he seems to be standing on the "battlefield" where the sages of Crete stood.

Slowly, the dazed and dull face of the old gentleman changed. He gradually revealed a smile, looked at Duncan with cloudy eyes, and said slowly, "Hello, Mr. Duncan."
Duncan saw the change in the expression of the old man in front of him, and suddenly felt a little rash.
This old man... why is his smile so scary all of a sudden?
