Your knowledge is too taboo

Chapter 132 The contract is reached
Xu Xiangyang lived a thousand years ago.

After realizing this, Yamashita suddenly understood many doubts about this guy.

His lack of understanding of the real world, his doubts about saints, the costumes that seemed to be very different from the current ones, and those "Bagaya deers" that sounded strange but were rich in meaning.

At first, he only thought that Xu Xiangyang was from outside the country, so he might not have a deep understanding of the chaotic land he was in.

But when past history and present records are connected in series.

The information contained in it began to make Yamashita tremble.

At this moment, his emotions were more complicated than ever.

Half of it is fear. After all, a person who has survived for a thousand years, maybe even before the catastrophe, no matter how ordinary he seems, must have something extraordinary about him.

On the other side, it's...crazy.

"He is Sequence Three."

Holding Alice's hand, Yamashita chewed on the meaning of this message.

In his heart, he repeated it again, his mind filled with shock: "He is Sequence Three!"

A Sequence Three guy who is not even a saint can actually survive for a thousand years and survive from before the Catastrophic Era to now? !
What does this mean?
This means that the secrets in Xu Xiangyang are so great that they can even be compared with Catastrophe.

In this wasteland world, all knowledge that can be related to the original disaster is absolutely taboo and precious!

"Opportunity."

Leading Alice to the small room, Yamashita whispered to himself: "This is an absolute chance."

If only the secrets could be unearthed.

Then at the foot of the mountain, maybe there is the possibility of traveling across thousands of years like Xu Xiangyang and rafting on time!

"And even if there is no way to obtain this crucial knowledge, even his special taboo language is a priceless treasure."

After realizing this.

The slight resentment towards Xu Xiangyang in Shanxia's heart also disappeared with the possible harvest.

What replaced it was...pure greed and murderous intent!
But he hid this very well and did not reveal his dark emotions.

Leaning down, Yamashita gently rubbed Alice's head.

"Alice," he said softly, "Dad wants you to do something."

"This matter is very important to Dad, and it is also very important to Alice. If it can be done, then Alice may be able to go home. So, Alice must be careful."

Hear this.

Alice blinked.

She was obviously moved by the word "go home" in Yamashita's words.

And Yamashita also understands this.

In fact, he said that on purpose.

He knew what Alice wanted, which was nothing more than family love and returning to the hometown she loved so much.

No matter what her purpose of going back was, at least the word "home" had become an obsession in her heart.

But now, with Yamashita as his substitute "father", another thing is naturally Alice's only sustenance.

And this is one of the most effective ways Yamashita wants to control her.

After gently rubbing Alice's golden hair, Yamashita's voice was soft: "Listen to Dad."

"When you get in, just do what dad told you..."
-
Accompanied by a "squeak" sound.

The door that had been pushed open by Yamashita that morning was quietly opened again at this moment.

It's just that the figure who came in this time was much thinner and petite than Yamashita this morning, so it was a little difficult to push the door open.

After the lower edge of the wooden door touches the ground and makes noise.

The blond girl walked step by step into this warm little room.

Then, she bowed respectfully in a certain direction inside the hut.

“I… take the liberty of disturbing you.”

Her voice was soft, like a deer's, with soft innocence and timidity.

Because just now, her father told her what kind of "existence" there was, and what possible impact this person would have on her.

However, her adoptive father's instructions and her desire to return home still made the young girl Alice grit her teeth and accept this arduous task.

Even if the mission fails, she may fall into that terrible "hell"... no matter what!

Take a deep breath.

Alice slowly held up the thick ancient mirror.

Her face can be seen in the mirror.

However, it seems that it has not been used for a long time, so the ancient mirror is covered with a layer of dust.Because of this layer of dust, Alice's appearance in the mirror looked hazy and distorted.

Gently wipe off the dust covering the mirror surface.

Alice followed her adoptive father's instructions and injected her own power into the mirror.

As a child who fell from the Glazed City, Alice herself is of course a transcendent person.

And her level is not too low - even in the Toshin Association mastered by Yamashita, she is considered a middle-level "Sequence Seven".

This alone is enough to show the mystery of Liuli City.

A little girl has the strength of Sequence Seven.

At the moment, this little girl is pouring all the polluted energy in her body into the ancient mirror.

And waiting for the great, ancient, mysterious existence in the ancient mirror to respond to her prayers.

"The Omniscient and Great Lord of Truth..."

She chanted in a low voice according to the words taught to her by her adoptive father: "You are the immortal existence that controls all true knowledge, the scale of God that measures contracts, and the supreme person who controls the authority of time."

"Please listen to the presumptuous prayers of humble humans, wake up from your slumber, show your compassion and kindness, and cast your gaze from the long river of time..."

The words fell.Alice stared at the ancient mirror in front of her with a nervous expression.

Then, in her stunned eyes.

A small scale appeared out of thin air in the air, radiant, delicate and delicate.

Looking at the scale, Alice subconsciously wanted to reach out and touch it.

But soon, she seemed to remember something, suppressed her curiosity, and continued to clasp her hands and stare at the ancient mirror in front of her.

In her line of sight.

There is a faint flicker of light between the simple and thick mirrors.

Like thunder hidden behind the clouds, cyan lightning struck the layered fog in front of him.In the slightly rolling ripples, a twisted figure sat on a chair and slowly raised his head towards Alice.

"Is that you?"

A distorted sound, mixed with some hoarse notes, came from the ancient mirror.

"The seeker who knocks at the door of truth."

Hearing this, Alice lowered her head slightly.

"Thank you for your mercy," she said softly, "Contractor Alice, I once again long for your gift to fulfill my humble prayer."

I don't know if it's an illusion.

After Alice said her name, the person and body in the mirror seemed to shake slightly for a moment.

But soon He was restored to his original state.

Only the intermittent voice came quietly from the mirror: "Alice..."

"What a familiar name."

Ok?
After hearing this.

Alice also briefly forgot her adoptive father's instructions.

She pointed at herself, tremblingly: "Do you... know me?"

Regarding this question, the Lord of Truth in the mirror just chuckled: "Clear, but still vague."

His tone was calm: "In the distant future, there was once a person with a name like yours and almost the same as you, who personally knocked on this door and completed a deal."

As if feeling something, the Lord of Truth said leisurely: "This is probably fate. It connects you here, and in the future... it will eventually produce an ending far beyond what others think. The so-called time is so difficult to predict. ."

Perhaps it was because the words He spoke were too obscure.

So in the end, Alice only understood some of them in a confused way.

It probably means that in the future, there will be someone almost identical to her who will also look for the Lord of Truth and make a deal.

As for the latter part, it probably means that they may have the opportunity to meet in the future, and it may have various consequences?
Alice wasn't sure.

She just asked out of curiosity: "What kind of prayer did that person like me make?"

About this question.

The Lord of Truth was silent for a moment.

After that, He slowly spoke: "Is the answer to this question what you want in exchange?"

As she spoke, Alice suddenly realized something.

Yes, she is now completing the contract transaction with the Lord of Truth.

Thinking of this, she quickly pulled back her thoughts: "No, no, no, of course not."

Even though Alice was very curious about the child who looked like her, she still knew her priorities.

So after thinking for a moment, she softly asked the answer she wanted to know.

And a moment later.

The voice of the Lord of Truth also came at the right time: "Yes."

“Offer a sacrifice of trade, and the scales will weigh it.”

Hearing this, Alice quickly got up from the ground.

Then she stretched out her hand and placed the contents of her pocket solemnly on the scale standing on the surface of the mirror.

When the thing was pressed against the mirror, Alice found that it quickly submerged into it.

And the golden scale was slightly deflected at this moment.

In the end, under Alice's nervous gaze, the scale finally reached an equal "balance" on both sides.

The voice of the Lord of Truth came again: "The contract is established."

"Accept this forbidden knowledge."

The moment the voice fell.

Alice blinked.

Because she felt that the pollution in her body was being stirred up little by little.

Along with this energy fluctuation, there are also changes in the mirror in front of him.

Not long after, a book slowly appeared on the mirror.

The book was very thin, it looked like it only had a few pages.

Alice did not dare to reach for the book.

Because compared to that, she has another very important thing.

"Excuse me……"

Looking in the mirror, Alice asked timidly: "Can I apply for another transaction?"

heard.

The Lord of Truth in the mirror fell silent.
