Chapter 583: Sugar Dinner Table Laser Tap Dance

"I don't understand." Toba said.

Ji Xun turned his eyes to him.It was a gesture of politeness, since in reality he could see anywhere in the room at any time.Tuoba's arm swayed, and a slight rotten smell rose in the air.

"I still don't know how he did it," it said. "He walked into the computing center."

"He didn't breach the border."

"But he came back," Toba stressed. "Every time, he came back like nothing happened. It shouldn't be. Nobody comes back after crossing the border."

"Facts are information that you can confirm yourself." Ji Xun reminded calmly, "Yes. He has indeed returned."

"How did he do it?"

This wasn't the first time Toba asked this question, but this time it stopped cursing in that insidious and twisted tone.There seemed to be some impetus to it that night, to demand an answer seriously.

Ji Xun sat at the table and chose a legal statement.

"Where I come from," he said, "there are many explanations. If you just want to know why he didn't die, it's because his life isn't here. Not the image you see before your eyes. When you know He's only visible to you when he's there—so, if you're just attacking that projection, it can't really hurt his essence."

"You're saying it's just a phantom of him. But that doesn't make sense. If he can get the phantom to move in and out of the computing center, and also pass messages to the main body..."

"That's not the case." Ji Xun replied, "There is no entity hidden by him here. He exists because of a certain fixed thought, but for him, that body is unique. It is his living body. "

Toba thought about it for a while.

"You're implying to me that he's a wish-making," it said, "and more powerful than this one in this city."

"It's a possibility."

Ji Xun was silent again.He stretched out his hand in front of the desk in the Black Tower, and let an album on the shelf fall into his palm.The pages of the book opened automatically, and Tuoba saw many paintings painted in light ink.mountains and rivers.birds and beasts.waves.Strange and huge tripod.

Tuoba stared at the album suspiciously and cautiously.

"This is his hometown." Ji Xun said, "The core of the old theory is that the place itself is an independent desire, and it is very likely to be a system with a strict definition domain. Logically speaking, it does not Will be interfered by other low-level mechanism wish machines. He also has this characteristic, which makes us speculate that he is part of the entire wish system."

"So, he's an embodiment of a world?"

"Maybe." Ji Xun said.But after a while he denied it again: "No."

"what is this?"

"He's special."

Ji Xun pondered for a while, and then said: "He may be alive in essence, not just a phenomenon."

"What is the destruction of nature?" Toba asked. "Look at me, when I was first thrown into that dark wasteland, I thought I was dead. Is my body dead? Yes, I was utterly devastated. I endured the whole rotting process until at the end I felt nothing, like a long dream. Death is really a long dream—do you have anything like that? But look, I Then I woke up again. This stinking mess. Not a bone or flesh of my own. But I still know who I am. Why does a bunch of moldy rotten grass know who it is?"

"This is a simple question." Ji Xun replied indifferently, "This mycelium swallows the original biological structure of the corpse. A protease structure with memory will replace the memory tissue. When the environment is suitable, it will It will restore part of the hyphae to your thinking center. But it was not intended to give you the ability to move, it was designed to create a plant with memory and thinking..."

"This is not the answer I want!" Tuo Bagao shouted, "I perceive it! That is to be alive! It has nothing to do with its principle!"

"So," Ji Xun said patiently, "how do you explain your short sleep? Did you live before your old body was completely destroyed and your new thinking body was formed? Or life and death are just mechanical activation and Close? Do you think you're the old Toba, or a new guy who got his memory?"

"I am I!" said Toba, "I am the one who is perceiving and speaking to you now. I am the executioner of the woman, the avenger of the plunderers. I have been reduced from flesh to ghost , that is exactly the time they arranged for their own death!"

"Or," Ji Xun continued, "you are a bunch of fungi activated by a life-support virus. The protein structure leaves you with the memory of a corpse, and his anger and pain. But that doesn't mean you Inherited everything... Is there a certain stage where you have lost your justification for revenge on them? If we find a wishing machine, we can verify this immediately."

Toba's slanted eyes glared fiercely at him from under the smock.As the creep spreads, a strong rancid stench spreads in the air.But this time Ji Xun didn't stop it, but gently stroked the album.

"This is a basic layer problem." He said to himself, "He, you, or me. Regarding the order of structure and essence, if the causal order does make sense—"

He stopped talking and turned to look out the window.Once again, Jing Huang stood on the spiral steps of the black tower and walked slowly into the room.

Compared with the night before, the people in the mountains seemed more tired.In his imaginary left hand he holds a branch of blue birch with a leaf pattern like a pink eye.Tuoba looked at the branch from a distance through the window, and made a slight creaking sound.

Other than that, everything was the same as every midnight in the past.When the little fog of thought cleared between them, Jing Huang once again half-cooked the homeowner's entrails.And all the relocated collections in the study also melted on the ground.

"I think," said Ji Xun after the repair, "the exploration in the computing center is not going well?"

Jing Juan sat down opposite him, and threw the blue birch branch onto the table.Ji Xun didn't look at it, in fact, long before Jing Huang entered the door, he already knew every subtle texture on its leaves.

"I don't see what's special about it." He asked bluntly, "Is this what you got in the computing center?"

"Things have changed." Jing Huang said.

Toba's body shook slightly.It was undoubtedly wondering—it still had a vague idea of ​​the third occupant of the house.But it noticed that Ji Xun seemed very concerned about this sentence.

"We'd better know what kind of change it is." The owner of the house said, "As far as the situation of both of us is concerned, 0312 is the most ideal helper. Before you come, I always hope that he can pay attention to the information I gave. clue……"

"Then what about 0206?" Jing Huang asked back, "Isn't he the one who knows the Gaoling belt best? Or 0203? 0211? 0225? Don't you hope to recruit your accomplices?"

"I'm sure 0225 has been recovered." Ji Xun replied, "And I need someone with enough microns and threads. If 0206 comes, it will be difficult for me to give him a safe enough restricted domain. Maybe he will first Try to get rid of us both, or at least, he'll be the master of the house. It's bad for both of us."

"Do you think 0312 is harmless to you? He is the one who wants to arrest you?"

"He is a person who facilitates negotiation." Ji Xun said.He smiled slightly for some reason.At this moment Toba tapped his heels.

"You two," it said, "if you have to discuss some mutual acquaintances I don't know, I can go first. But please forgive me, we are here today not to quarrel over the past, but to Let my beloved ancestors die in peace. Also, if you don't mind, I want to throw this branch out of here."

"Why?" Ji Xun asked with interest, "This branch is not poisonous, but has a special pigment production mechanism."

"It reminds me of my respected mother," said Toba, "that whore, mad animal, poisonous woman who died a bad life. What a job she did! She threw me into the wasteland and gave me the last Those eyes were so pretty when embraced—but forget her for now. A living dead, a living pile of rotten flesh, let her go away."

Without warning, Ji Xun and Jing Huang glanced at each other.They looked away instantly and electrocuted, as if it were purely unintentional coincidence.Toba rolled up the birch branch with one limp, boneless black arm and threw it out the window, far into the dark void beyond the ice field.
