Gamers Are Fierce

Li Ang ignored the curious or awed looks of all passers-by and walked into the headquarters of the Demonic Scientists Alliance.

This is a spaceship in the shape of a semicircle. Its surface is covered with ferocious thorns made of pitch black metal.

Bizarre cannons can be seen everywhere, wires and cables with unknown meanings that resemble blood vessels, and light bars that shine with an unknown light and look like eyes.

It's quite fashionable.

Li Ang, who has a bias in aesthetics, sighed with emotion, walked into the door, and immediately saw the two female receptionists behind the counter.

A man with light red skin, jet-black horns on his head, a perfect oval face, watery eyes, captivating eyes, a tear mole at the corner of his eye, wearing a cool dress, gloves on his hands, and a harpoon-shaped tail behind him .

It is the legendary succubus.

The other one has a halo on his head, wears a Greek robe, and has wings on his back. He is an equally beautiful angel.

The appearance of these two receptionists is considered to be at a very high level even in a killing field game where plastic surgery technology is rampant.

But, but,

Even the most philanthropic and debauched players, the ones who accept everyone who comes, and the ones who like to flirt with others without restraint, will not have any thoughts about them.

The Demonic Scientists Alliance has no lower limit for moral integrity, only lower limits.

The beautiful receptionist who looks like a succubus + an angel may have had something weird in her past.

Maybe not a woman, maybe not a human, maybe not even a living carbon-based creature...

If you really want to hook up, you're just waiting to face the tragic fate of being collected as a corpse, or even never being able to get rid of it.

Li Ang has also heard many bizarre rumors about the Demonic Scientists Alliance. For example, they can transform goblins with sores on their faces and who have never bathed all their lives into beautiful girls of the elf race.

It can tear away the hideous demons summoned from the abyss and sacrifice them into slaves without self-awareness.

This group of people has superb science and technology across countless fields, and integrity that is cheap enough to be sold publicly.

But they are very sensible and cautious,

He has never done anything too taboo in the real world, so he has never been publicly beaten or killed by official organizations such as the Global Occult Alliance.

(A few members who mess around will be liquidated by themselves. In a sense, they are even more disciplined than many organizations. They are considered to be wandering between lawful evil and chaotic evil, depending on the individual member)

Mr. Li,

In the shadow of the famous human tree, the succubus receptionist on the left immediately stood up and said politely: Do you have any needs? Do you need me to inform the president and vice president for you?

No need, I just came here to buy some information about souls.

Li Ang waved his hand and was just about to ask where the external store of the Demonic Scientists Alliance was. From the corner of his eye, he saw a figure slowly emerging in the air not far away, wearing a dark yellow robe, with his entire face hidden in the shadow of a hood. .

It is the founder of the Alliance of Demonic Scientists, Side of Truth.

I'll receive it.

The Truth floated over, glanced at the two receptionists, turned to Li Ang and said hoarsely: Long time no see, Mr. Li, your psychic skills have improved a lot compared to when you lost the world.

Same, Your Excellency.

Li Ang nodded. He was also a psionic person on the side of truth. He majored in the spiritual creation department and his psychic abilities were unfathomable. Even Li Ang now could vaguely feel the abyss and sea of ​​spiritual energy surrounding him. .

I have stored some books and materials about the soul in the guild library that is open to the middle and senior members of the guild. Mr. Li can sit there and read the materials. If necessary, you can also borrow copies of those books for free. .”

The Side of Truth seemed to know what Li Ang was going to say, and said in advance: This is our Demon Scientist Alliance's respect and goodwill for the strong.

If you don't like this format, you can also pay some small compensation.

remuneration?

Li Ang raised his eyebrows, For example?

For example, answer some of my questions and confusion about psychic skills.

The Strategy of Truth said: “The six major schools of psychic powers are hugely different from each other.

I want to get some basic information on the mind enchantment system to expand my knowledge.

good.

After a brief thought, Li Ang agreed with the other party's opinion. In the entire Killing Fields game, players who practice psychic powers say more or less.

But there are no more than fifty high-level psychics.

It is better to have someone with whom you can exchange experiences and exchange information than to explore alone.

Then it's settled.

The Side of Truth smiled slightly and sent Li Ang a friend application link. After Li Ang agreed,

The two walked through the hall and came to the library on the east side.

The library of the Demonic Scientists Alliance looks relatively normal.

Several well-dressed gentlemen and ladies sat at a distance from each other behind a long table, reading books silently by the light of the desk lamp.

But if you look carefully, you can find that the books in their hands are all black magic books made of leather and printed with demonic patterns.

And those library staff who walked among the three-meter-high bookcases and sorted books were all devils.

Side of Truth snapped his fingers, and dozens of books of different thicknesses flew off the bookshelves and were neatly placed on the long table. Li Ang was not polite, sat down and quickly browsed through them, taking time to discuss with Side of Truth from time to time. Insights into spiritual energy.

The Demonic Scientists Alliance's understanding of the soul is indeed deeper than that of Li Ang and even all organizations.

They believe that the soul can be divided into two concepts, soul energy, and soul shape.

The former is like universal energy such as spiritual power, ether, and elements, which are widely distributed in living bodies in nature.

The amount of soul energy in various living beings varies.

Small species such as ants are less common;

Higher mammals such as humans, cattle and sheep have relatively large amounts of soul energy.

And because the latter has higher intelligence and can produce memories and emotions, its soul energy will naturally condense and take shape not long after birth, with the so-called shape, which is the soul individual in the popular concept.

Can inherit the appearance during life - for example, the soul of a sheep is the shape of a sheep, and the soul of Sadako is the shape of Sadako.

After the soul takes a fixed shape, it can inherit part of the memory, emotions and personality, becoming an inseparable part in a true sense.

In the mythological systems of various regions, the so-called reincarnation is actually the same thing - after the death of all the deceased, the soul shape disintegrates and transforms into unconscious soul energy.

There is an underlying rule in the real world that automatically circulates soul energy.

Transfer the wandering soul back into the body of the naturally conceived embryo.

The essence of the soul is actually not that mysterious. To put it more simply, the soul is the lubricant that drives all living things in the world. It is the innate power of all living things. It is also the power that all living beings must return to the world from the moment they are born. The world's 'tax'.

And to put it at a lower level...

The side of truth swiped his palm lightly on the table and discharged several gold coins and red crystals with frightened faces on them.

Li Ang could tell at a glance that this was a soul condensed into substance.

“In ancient Egyptian mythology, Maat, the daughter of the sun god A, is responsible for the judgment of the underworld. She will use ostrich feathers to measure the good and evil of the deceased during his or her lifetime. Only those who have done good deeds and accumulated virtue can obtain the next life.

In Greek mythology, Charon, the boatman of the underworld, would ask for a gold coin from all the dead as a fare to cross the River Styx.

The Side of Truth put away the gold coins and crystals and said calmly: According to some recent theories in the world, many mythological gods in the real world are just extraordinary beings slightly stronger than us.

For the strong, the soul is currency, which can be bought, sold, twisted, sold, and traded at will.

All the underworlds, underworlds, and underworlds in ancient times,

In fact, they are all just powerful extraordinary beings,

In the fixed mechanism that uses the roots of the world to automatically circulate soul energy,

Just come for your own benefit.

Just like the battle for turf in Monopoly,

Those so-called gods established the so-called Hades near the well of the world's soul to confirm their beliefs.

They proclaimed themselves the masters of the farmland and managed and cultivated the farmland.

But even without them, plants can still grow in the farmland.

Just like in the current real world, all the gods are dead and asleep, which does not affect the continued operation of reincarnation.

And the reason why those gods do this is

The reason is, I personally think there are three points.

First, the total amount of free soul energy in the world is limited.

Second, the soul can provide the power of faith and can also be transformed into other forms of energy.

Third, if ancient extraordinary beings want to survive and continue under the oppression of the killing game, they must use the power of faith of intelligent creatures to embark on the road to becoming gods.

etc,

Li Ang thought for a while and interrupted: The total number of soul energy is limited?

Um.

Zhizhi nodded and chuckled: Are you trying to say that something is not right?

In ancient times, the number of primitive humans was only a few million, but now it has expanded to more than 7 billion.

Li Ang nodded,

Seeing this, Truth Policy said: You can understand soul energy as water resources on a planet, with limited weight and various forms of existence.

Nowadays, the earth's population of 7 billion is indeed a lot, but it is not impressive compared with the animals - there are 200 billion to 400 billion birds,

One trillion mammals, including mice, bats, etc.

The number of reptiles and amphibians has reached hundreds of billions, and the total number has not changed much.

Similar to water resources, they can be recycled indefinitely, right?

Li Ang thought for a while and asked: I can understand the second point, but how to explain the third point?

In order to perpetuate themselves, the ancient gods established the underworld and intercepted some soul energy for their own use.

If they really have this kind of technical power, the best way would be to directly carry out large-scale brainwashing.

Or encourage reproduction and expand the total number of intelligent creatures.

That's right.

The Side of Truth nodded, This is also the fourth point I want to make.

For a long time, ordinary people, low-level players, and even officials from various countries have had questions.

Since there were players in the past, why didn't they have a profound impact on the real world?

If we talk about modern times, it can also be explained by the theory that the intensity of killing games is relatively low, the players are generally small, and their strength is weak, so they cannot have an impact on the world situation.

So what about the gods who could establish the Kingdom of God in ancient times?

Their strength can completely change the direction of the world.

Li Ang paused after hearing this. This was also the question he had been thinking about since he embarked on the road to becoming a god.

My view is that on the one hand they have no reason to do it, and on the other hand, their attempts have been wiped out by the killing field game.

Side of Truth slowly said: For extraordinary people who choose the path of gods, the number of believers is extremely important, but the quality of believers is also extremely critical.

Take our Demonic Scientists Alliance as an example,

We can use our souls as energy like oil, currency like gold coins,

Distort, modify, control, and drive the soul at will, and even tamper with the 'shape' and memory of the soul itself.

As long as I want, I can shape the souls of thousands of people into absolutely obedient to me, providing me with an endless supply of faith.

The side of truth paused and said slowly: But this is not realistic.

Soul Energy and Soul Shape,

Essentially water, related to ice.

Soul energy itself has no attributes;

Only a real soul that has formed a shape and has rich emotions and memories can generate the power of faith.

The soul created by falsehood is extremely inefficient in producing the power of faith and has no value at all - in other words, only the soul that has truly lived has the value of being treated as currency.

This is why ancient gods and so many god-like creatures we have seen in script quests,

They invariably adopt traditional methods of establishing sects to accumulate the power of faith for themselves.

As for why they don’t encourage breeding, the reason is very simple.

After a killing game is over, or after failure,

Most of the extraordinary people died, and a few gods and demigods survived by relying on their belief in gods.

At this time, the killing field itself will use the most direct method to erase most of the influence caused by the previous transcendent.

For example, destroying a kingdom that no longer has gods,

A deserted cave that no longer has its immortal master,

He even directly modified the memory of mortals on a large scale to make them forget the phenomena of extraordinary beings that they had seen.

Li Ang frowned and asked subconsciously: Where is the evidence?

...

The Side of Truth was silent for a moment. From the void, he slowly took out a two-handed giant sword that was as tall as a person and made of unknown metal, and placed it gently on the wooden table in the library.

“When I was at level 10, I experienced a script mission, and I killed a half-human, half-demon ogre monster with a Nordic barbarian at the king’s dinner party.

Later, the barbarian and I killed the Mother of Demons who came after hearing the news and attacked us.

Side of Truth said calmly: The barbarian and I became very good friends. I thought that after that script mission, we would never have the chance to meet again.

But I didn't expect that when I was lv18, I received another script mission and met that barbarian in the mission world.

Fifty years have passed since I last saw him. He has long since been crowned king and is getting old, but I am still young.

We met and lamented the past, but his kingdom was attacked by a fire-breathing dragon that coveted the kingdom's wealth.

Villages and towns across the kingdom were burned by dragon flames, and the people suffered heavy casualties.

So he put on his old body and went into battle again, took the sword, took the eleven lord knights in the kingdom, and sincerely invited me to go to the dragon's nest with him.

In the dragon's lair, we were fiercely attacked by the dragonborn,

His lords and knights deserted him and fled,

Finally he and I were left standing in front of the dragon.

The Side of Truth paused for a moment and said slowly: The strength of that giant dragon was close to that of an incomplete wild lion, and it was difficult for me to compete with it at the time.

The barbarians and I worked hard to kill it, but my friend was also bitten by the dragon and was poisoned by the dragon's poison.

I took out all the precious equipment and props on my body, but in the end I couldn't prevent his death.

At the end of his life, he begged me to protect his relatives and descendants from inheriting the kingdom.

I agreed and left the dragon's nest with the dragon's head.

Returned to the kingdom, killed all the fleeing lord knights, and put his relatives on the throne.

And before leaving the script mission, he buried his giant sword in the dragon's nest hill.

Side of Truth slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air and said quietly: My friend, that Nordic barbarian is named Beowulf.

And this sword is the giant sword he used to defeat the Sea Demon King and slay the dragon.

I clearly remember that I buried the giant sword under the hills of the script world,

But in the real world after leaving the script mission, I dug it out again on a hill in Scandinavia, and saw on the sword a commemoration of him carved by me personally. of runes.

In Beowulf's time, his kingdom was vast, and people built towering statues and temples for him.

But these are things that really existed in the script world, or in the real world in history,

The timeline we are on thousands of years from now is just myth and legend.

The statues and temples have all disappeared, not even the remains.

Only this giant sword proves that I have really been there and really have a friend named Beowulf.

The Side of Truth took a deep breath, looked at the silent Li Ang, and said: The script missions players experience are not only in other worlds, but some are even on the real earth in the real timeline.

But those legendary experiences have turned into legends under the force majeure of the killing game.

In other words, the reality we know is just the reality that Killing Fields wants us to know.

We are also in a cage.

...

Li Ang was silent for a long time. In fact, he had also experienced similar script tasks.

For example, the Guhan Temple where I met Chai Chai,

The half-body skeleton left by the mandrill appeared in the Yin City temple more than a thousand years later.

On the contrary, the cause turned out to be the cause, and became the medium for Li Ang to trigger the script task of Guhan Temple.

Maybe after their generation of extraordinary people pass away, they will also become the bizarre stories spread by the next generation of humans...
