Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 345: The truth about the world

"I finally understand!"

Su Lun's eyes showed a look of sudden realization.

In the previous battle, he absorbed a large amount of demonic energy like a whale, and the law of death also increased. During the past few days of dormancy, the body has completely absorbed the absorbed foreign energy.

Now awake, Su Lun now has a very clear feeling that his law of death is higher than the "Izanami" he saw before!

As the Lord of the Underworld, Izanami represents the upper limit of the laws of this world.

Just because he broke through the "upper limit", Su Lun's previous feeling of seeing flowers in the fog was swept away and became completely clear.

"Wrong, wrong. It turns out that my train of thought was wrong from the very beginning. The 'god' in the novel world is not Izanami, nor any other character, but the 'author' of this story. He created This story, this 'world'!"

Su Lun took out the notes he had written down and saw the clues he had written down, and everything became clear.

He quickly flipped through the contents of his notes. What he had been unable to figure out before, he looked at it from a different height and suddenly understood: "I completely ignored one of the most important premise before, that is, I am now trapped in A novel is framed in a cursed world. In other words, I may have been reduced in dimension! In this world, I feel that I am a 'person', but in fact, I may just be a special existence described in a text."

One leaf blinds the eye!

Just like in a maze, your view is always blocked by walls.

Only when your vision and knowledge are higher than the wall can you see the correct way to move through this maze, instead of blindly drilling through it according to its set logic.

"Before, my thinking logic, world cognition, and judgment were completely limited in a closed loop like a maze. As long as I did not exceed this 'upper limit', I would not be able to see the world clearly. The truth. Therefore, this is the difficulty of 'T-level space'. Anyone who does not touch the boundaries of this law will die!"

Su Lun also instantly understood why they were completely unaware of the hostility of the ghosts and monsters when they first arrived in this underworld.

Under normal circumstances, this would never happen.

Not to mention the Ghost King, why didn’t the two of them notice the hostility of those little ghosts based on their perception?

But in the logic of the book, this is completely understandable.

The logic of the story does not require you to discover (this plot), then you cannot discover it!

Dimensions limit your imagination, and you can only think according to its logic.

It's like an ant, unable to understand what's going on with the highway being built next to the ant nest.

In the cognition of creatures at that level, perhaps, it is the end of the world.

Two-dimensional creatures cannot understand the concept of three-dimensional space!

But aren’t they living things?

No, yes!

Looking back now, there are actually many flaws in what I encountered.

But it was never found.

Utopias materialize, trapping people in a perfect closed-loop logic.

This is the biggest difficulty of this cursed space.

After thinking everything through, Su Lun's eyes were full of energy.

"The Eye of Omniscient has actually identified the way out before, and has worked hard to express the answer. But after I entered the space, my cognition was limited and I couldn't think of the 'author'. So I didn't realize it either The truth that breaks the situation."

Su Lun couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The seemingly simple logic has fallen into a closed logical loop.

In one world, this world controls your imagination.

You will not doubt any "irrationality" in this world.

Because, in this world, as long as it exists, it is reasonable.

Oh my god, it’s incredible.

Su Lun felt as if he had touched some very high-level "world perceptions"

Finally I know how to get out.

Su Lun let out a long sigh of relief when he thought of this.

However, the excitement after the decryption only lasted for a moment, and his face returned to calm.

It seems it was too late.

Both Senjo and Miko are dead, and his own state is also "half human and half ghost".

Since the author of [Death Novel] is the "only true god" of an unfinished story, can he rewrite the ending?

Thinking of this, the light of hope appeared in Su Lun's eyes again.

If possible, he is willing to pay any price to save the two of them.

But he wasn't sure.

Because his current state is very strange. He is in the book, but he is detached from the story.

So,

The previous story is a foregone conclusion. If the previous ending had changed, would there still be a present?

This seems contradictory again.

Su Lun thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure it out clearly.

He wrote this idea down in his notebook and wanted to find the "author" first.

That is the decisive factor

The battlefield is in a mess, and the air of death is everywhere.

Su Lun summoned the black crow again, flew into the sky, and found a way back to the ghost town.

As I walked, I suddenly felt something strange about my body.

He looked at the data panel and said in surprise: "The physical strength has actually become stronger? And it continues to become stronger."

The various body data displayed on the panel have greatly increased. Strength, agility, nerve response speed, and toughness can be said to have been improved in all aspects, by about 20 to 30%.

This was only when the "X serum" was injected to transform the bloodline, so there was such a large increase.

It was originally a good sign.

However, Su Lun now saw his brows furrowed.

Because this increase is beyond his control.

How long it will last and the direction of growth are unpredictable.

All uncontrolled physical mutations can be called "aberrations."

In other words, he is now "physically deformed".

The reason is naturally that he has absorbed too much "demon energy" and "underworld energy", and his body has been polluted.

But due to some factors, it was not completely deformed into a monster.

Su Lun looked at the panel and guessed that it was his own "X serum" that was resisting the uncontrollable changes. [Fallen Angel] is a genuine god-level bloodline. They are gods from birth. This is completely incomparable to lower creatures.

Having just suppressed the hidden danger of "mental aberration", unexpectedly such a new problem appeared. Su Lun also felt a little frowned.

However, now he doesn't care much about his condition.

Carrying the lives of two important friends to survive, this kind of remaining life does not seem to be worthy of any hope

Su Lun walked leisurely on the mountain road.

Looking at those exaggerated battle traces, he thought of the scene of him and Qian Jiao fighting all the way, and had mixed feelings: "Sister Qian Jiao's combat power is really exaggerated. Unexpectedly, she actually broke through the third stage [ Rakshasa Girl]"

The world he sees now is very special, like watching a movie about real illusory technology. He can be immersed in it, like the real world; he can also observe everything from an outsider's perspective and see something else. .

Thinking of his talent, Su Lun suddenly thought that his law of death had doubled in an instant.

Although I haven't broken through any three-solution state, it is still very different.

Su Lun suddenly had an idea flash in his mind.

Huh

I have a forbidden object in my hand that needs to be controlled by the Law of Death?

[Hypnos's Black Scythe of the Night] This great killing weapon has been with him since he was in the outer city of Old Town, helping him survive one fatal crisis after another.

Although it cuts out space cracks, what it actually drives is the Law of Death. (Power and elements, if they are powerful enough to a certain extent, can create space cracks)

The imitation Death weapon is naturally the law of death.

Because the use of this forbidden object is very dangerous and the curse will backfire, so before, it could only be controlled by living corpses to transfer the power of the backlash.

But now that Su Lun held it, he immediately felt a weightless feeling, as if there was an inexplicable "smooth feeling".

You seem to be in control?

After careful appraisal, he was finally sure that he had reached the threshold for using this banned item!

"That means I can use this black scythe at will from now on without having to worry about the curse backlashing?"

Su Lun suddenly felt an unexpected joy.

This is completely unintentional.

Although he is now extremely comfortable controlling the living corpse and using the black scythe, there is a limit to what the living corpse can endure.

A living corpse can slash at most five times, and the arc of the slash must be controlled.

Easy to use, but wastes corpses, and the extra moves are easily noticed by opponents.

But now, he holds it by himself and can chop it at will!

Ten knives, a hundred knives, a thousand knives

Until the target is chopped to pieces.

Su Lun held the black sickle in his hand and gently swung the knife. The stone not far away was suddenly cut in half by the space crack.

He carefully felt the feeling of using it, and clearly captured the entire process of the law of death surging from the scythe, activating the alchemy matrix and runes to emit energy fluctuations, and thought in his mind: "Well, it's not that the backlash of the curse has been completely avoided. . There will still be some cuts that are too large. However, the normal cutting needs can be fully met."

The sickle finally came into its own.

And another difference is that when using the black sickle in the past, it was entirely based on its own characteristics.

Now that he has instilled the Law of Death, he can still control the tearing speed of the space crack!

Like a sharp sword, in the hands of a swordsman and a layman, they are two completely different weapons.

Su Lun felt as if he had become stronger.

But at the same time, he sighed.

If I had been stronger before, I might have been able to change something

Su Lun wrapped the black sickle in a sack and carried it on his back.

He walked into the ghost town again.

The author of this [cursed novel] is Hayato Fujiwara, and Su Lun knows that this person is the key to cracking the cursed space.

Su Lun has harvested many miscellaneous skills before. Although he is not a great writer, he also knows some common sense of novelist creation.

So, he was not sure that Fujiwara Hayato would definitely be in the underworld after his death, but he would definitely find a "Fujiwara Hayato in the book".

In any novel, there must be a certain character who can find the shadow of the "author".

That character is not the author, but it must be part of the author’s own emotions, cognition, and three views.

Usually, those are the protagonists of novels.

But in this [Underworld], Su Lun didn’t find out who the protagonist was.

So, he is going to look for it in the ghost town.

Different from his trepidation when he came to inquire about it several times before, Su Lun now walked into the city with a calm mind.

As long as he doesn't want to, the ghosts here seem to be unable to see him.

He is "transcendent" from this world.

The number of ghosts and monsters in the city is obviously much smaller, especially those with powerful auras.

The previous battle also left Guicheng exhausted.

Su Lun kept walking, looking at all kinds of ghosts and ghosts of the dead, as if watching a movie again.

Suddenly, I passed by a teahouse and heard a storyteller telling a "love story between a noble lady and a poor boy."

Suellen stopped.

Because he is too eye-catching.

It's like the whole world is in black and white, but that person is in color.

Su Lun knows that he has found someone.

That's a monster called [Storyteller].

It is said that he was a down-and-out scholar who had some talents but was not taken seriously by others. After his death, he became a monster with resentment. I keep telling people stories, hoping to be recognized by them.

When the man saw Su Lun, he suddenly seemed to be waking up from a dream, and the look in his eyes immediately became clear.

He smiled at Su Lun and said, "Finally, someone has come."

Su Lun and the man were sitting by the window on the second floor of the teahouse, looking at the frustrated storyteller with complicated eyes.

I have seen this guy several times, but I have never noticed that this monster is the key to getting out.

Obviously the clues are in his story, but without telling the story, the deeper meaning cannot be heard.

Suellen sighed and asked: "Should I call you Mr. Fujiwara or Mr. Gustav?"

The middle-aged man said calmly: "It's okay. Because they are all my names, but I am not him. I am just a story character with a little obsession."

Su Lun nodded when he heard this.

After pondering for a moment, he asked directly: "Then Mr. Fujiwara, can you tell me what is going on in this land of hell?"

It was because of what he had experienced these days that he saw the world clearly and found it even more incredible.

Even now it seems that this is a complete "world".

Fujiwara Hayato didn't seem surprised at all and said with a smile: "But I know what your doubts are."

After a pause, he said: "In fact, no matter how knowledgeable human beings are, no matter how many laws they understand, they can't build a world without flaws. So, I thought of a way to use external forces to help me complete this world. .So, I refined the novel I wrote into a cursed object to collect some dead souls. Those dead souls will live and practice in the "Netherworld Country". Everything they experience is to perfect and deduce this world. It will become more and more perfect”

""

When Su Lun heard this statement, some of his perceptions were overturned.

This guy actually uses this method to deduce and create a world?

What is the difference between this method and God?

Fujiwara Hayato: "Don't be so surprised. Don't think this behavior is heartless. The laws of the world are wonderful. Especially in the eyes of us alchemists, all energy exists in a 'pot' The forms are different, but there is not much difference in essence. Including you and me. This is not entirely what I came up with. I remember it should be the secret method of the gods that I discovered in an ancient ruins during an adventure."

""

Su Lun was a little confused and seemed to understand.

He is very interested in this method of creation.

Fujiwara Hayato said halfway, but did not continue: "However, I can't explain it to you in too much detail. In order to ensure that I have left some specific memories and will not forget the person I am waiting for. So I have some questions. I can't answer you. If you want to know the truth, you can only verify it yourself."

When Su Lun heard this, he suddenly thought of Katyusha’s grandma whom he met before.

She bought so many novels by Hayato Fujiwara, so naturally the two of them knew each other.

Although Su Lun was curious about the relationship between the two.

But he was more concerned about another issue.

He asked directly: "Before, my partners died in the previous battle. Is there a way to resurrect them?"

Fujiwara Hayato glanced at him and half-smiled, "Yes. But there is a price."
