Your knowledge is too taboo

Chapter 231 Hostility

I have to say that this is a very novel experience for Chen Qing.

Not only because the voice he heard seemed a little rough and no longer as soft as Alice in the past, but also because of the attitude of the person he was talking to.

To be honest, in the past, Alice always communicated with herself with an almost pious reverence. Even when she was transferred to a thousand years ago by him and split into a crazy personality, this attitude did not weaken.

Not to mention weakened, even more respected.

Chen Qing even suspected that Alice before the reversal was "fanatic" towards him, and he didn't even know the reason.

Therefore, when this time he heard Alice speaking in such an impatient tone, possibly after the reversal, Chen Qing was startled for a moment.

He soon realized that the current difference in Alice's attitude toward him might be related to the different authority he held.

The gap between truth and war is, quite literally, huge!

Of course, there must be a certain gender awareness gap and some butterfly effects. But no matter what, the root cause is definitely the difference in one's own authority.

Because the reversal only changed its own authority, and most other things remained unchanged. This can be seen from Apocalypse and the Holy Envoy. Therefore, Alice in this world view may have encountered similar things as before, except that she has changed to a certain extent.

So this made Chen Qing even more curious.

What is it about her title of "war" that makes Alice react like this?

He originally wanted to ask immediately, but Chen Qing soon realized something and chose to remain silent at first.

Because he didn't know what attitude he would take towards Alice after the transformation, so to be on the safe side, it was better to let Alice take the initiative to ask.

The blond devil seemed a little dissatisfied with Chen Qing's silence.

He said impatiently: "Why are you here this time?"

"If you still have the same plan as before, then I will only reject you again. I have no interest in participating in your plan, not to mention that I have no intention of changing the so-called 'pattern'!"

He inadvertently revealed more information: "I admit that you helped me before, but it was just a 'deal' where everyone gets what he needs. You get what you need from me, and then like He threw me some bones like a charity dog. The deal between us should have ended in the Bounty King's tomb, there is no need to continue talking!"

This sentence reveals a lot.

At least Chen Qing noticed something from this sentence.

That is, in this world view, the relationship between myself and Alice is still a transaction, but the two parties of the transaction do not rely on taboo knowledge and ideas as they did in the past. And the relationship between the two seems to be more... contradictory.

Alice was dissatisfied with herself because she had a bad attitude when she provided him with his power. Of course, it may not be just this, but at least it can be seen that there was a certain amount of dissatisfaction between Chen Qing and Alice before this.

This is what Chen Qing doesn't understand.

Because the reversal seems to only change one's personality, but not one's character. And according to his own temperament, it is absolutely impossible for those apostles who polished ancient mirrors and prayed to obtain the power to change their destiny from their own hands to have such a hostile attitude towards this "great being" like him.

He should treat these people with a more grand and remote attitude, as if he were standing tens of thousands of meters above the ground and casting his gaze downwards. Let these people slowly push them forward when they see that they are valued.

After all, Chen Qing knew very well that before Gu Jing, he actually did not have much ability to interfere with the apostles.

Even if he stands in the upstream of time and can easily change things downstream, that is only in the general direction.

He can make a certain trend appear in the future world. For example, people all over the world start to like eating fish, but he can't make a specific person try a fresh, freshly made fish dish. Chen Qing can achieve a lot at the macro level, but it is difficult for him to reach out to the microscopic individual existence.

And most of the apostles were often microscopic individuals in the beginning.

Except for Li Changsheng, he already had the power of Sequence Three from the beginning, and he was also the director of the Forbidden Objects Depository. Such people can easily target people upstream in time, but people like Qi Lu and Colin?

Chen Qing even felt that if he moved a little bit, these people might disappear!

It is true that he was able to make these people disappear quietly, as if they had never appeared before, and were left in the corner of history. However, even after meeting a new apostle, the problem was still not solved.

In the beginning, he was destined not to have much influence on the individual apostles.

Except using forbidden knowledge.

But at that time, he was not even very good at using forbidden knowledge, and with his cautious character, how could he use this power that looked so strange at first glance so casually.

Therefore, Chen Qing felt that based on his personality, it was unlikely that the apostle would be so hostile to himself.

unless.

"Unless the mirror is no longer a mere connecting effect."

Chen Qing stroked the ancient mirror with his hand, his eyes thoughtful: "Since I chose 'War' as my title after the reversal, it definitely indicates that I will be able to intervene strongly in the future. Because war involves power, and It is not an illusory knowledge like truth.”

Most of the people who believe in war and are willing to make deals with war are those seeking strength.

As for the knowledge of truth.

Although forbidden knowledge can sometimes give people power, it is like a forbidden object, equivalent to a "foreign object." Or, it is based on the power of the soul rather than pure energy.

Such things are too restrictive. After all, taboo objects and taboo knowledge require a lot of pollution to support them. Correspondingly, power is more macroscopic and broader.

And Chen Qing felt that only in this way could he explain why he was so... aggressive in Alice's mouth.

If he can extend his reach into the future without worrying about his impact in this era, then he will also be very strong.

This is not about good or evil, but the purest rationality and calculation.

Just like he was able to make a deal with Tianqi, the guy who had tricked him several times, and he could also transform the relationship with the Holy Envoy, the guy who even planned to kill him with a postcard before. Qing will choose to do it.

For him, the so-called "grievances" and "emotions" are somewhat luxurious now.

Once you know that there will be a terrible catastrophe in the next ten years or even one year, and that everyone will be killed together, and 99% of humanity in the world may even disappear, then you will also look at some problems very casually.

That's the case with Chen Qing.

As the "human being" who knows the most things in the world, his perspective now is actually quite broad.

For him, as long as he can ensure his own strength and prevent the pollution, he can use any relationship no matter how troublesome it is.

The same goes for those apostles whom he repeatedly chose to keep.

Chen Qing knew very well that after the death of these apostles, there would always be new ones to replace them. But after the new ones replace the old ones, who can ensure that they are as convenient as the previous ones?

Not to mention that I have spent so much time and effort. Once it is all in vain, it will not be all wasted.

Unfortunately, what Chen Qing lacks most now is time.

So he couldn't understand Alice's hatred at first, but after changing his thinking, he became a lot more accepting.

But that's what it says.

No matter what methods he used before the reversal, no matter what grudges and grudges existed between Alice and himself.

There is no way for Chen Qing to "imitate" now.

Because even if the world has been reversed and he has changed from truth to war, his "person" has not changed.

His memory is still his activities as the Lord of Truth.

So he didn't know how he became a war lord in the past, nor did he know what the war lord could do with the ancient mirror.

Therefore, Chen Qing could only remain silent in the face of Alice's venting questioning.

But he also understood that silence could only withstand for a while.

If she remained silent, Alice would definitely find out the clues. So he pursed his lips and then asked a question.

"How about that guy?"

Chen Qing asked.

He did not directly say who that person was, but left a little room for Alice's imagination.

But he believed that Alice would know who he was talking about.

Sure enough, the blond devil sneered: "You mean that guy?"

"She disappeared after a fight with that guy Yue Changming. Don't you know that too? As for where she is now, this genius knows."

The Demon King snorted coldly: "Maybe he died somewhere, or maybe he was captured by someone. After all, we all know that that guy is very special."

"If nothing else happens, she will be a new saint in this world!"

The devil is talking about Li Changsheng.

And this also made Chen Qing feel a little relieved.

Fortunately, it seems that the reversal did not change many things.

It seems that the relationship between Alice and Li Changsheng still exists, but the two sides don't seem as harmonious as before.

But Chen Qing probably guessed this.

Before the reversal, Alice showed her hatred towards Li Changsheng to a certain extent.

It’s not just Li Changsheng either.

No one looked up to this guy when he was in a crazy criticizing state. Except for Chen Qing, when facing everyone else, he wanted to strangle them to death with his own hands.

But Alice was not like this before.

At that time, Li Changsheng gave Alice a lot of care, and Alice herself appreciated it, otherwise she would not have knelt in front of the mirror and begged the Lord of Truth to save Li Changsheng.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing felt a little dazed.

He suddenly realized that many things seemed to have started when Alice knelt down in front of the mirror and begged herself to save Li Changsheng's life.

At that time, Alice must have never imagined that her future self would turn against Director Li to such an extent, right?

So "fate" is really difficult to predict...

As if he thought of something.

Chen Qing's eyebrows wrinkled slightly.

He seemed to have a certain reaction to a word he just said in his heart.

But this reaction was so weak that he didn't even know that a certain thought flashed through his mind just now, and he turned to think about other things.

The actions of the devil outside the mirror also disrupted his previous thinking.

"In short, the contractual relationship between us has ended."

The Demon King had a cold face: "Now we no longer have a contractual relationship, so don't come to me again next time."

"Because I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it and break your mirror into pieces!"

The devil is very arrogant.

Chen Qing has already realized this firsthand.

And he also guessed that the other party's arrogance was most likely due to him.

Truth and war are really on two levels to some extent.

Truth only gives knowledge, and knowledge often brings humility.

Even if this knowledge is taboo and ordinary people cannot detect it, as long as they accept these secrets, they will have some awe in their hearts.

And war gives strength.

People with power will only become more and more arrogant if they do not suffer too many setbacks.

That's normal, but right now, it's clearly not normal.

Because Alice reversed time and came to this world.

He should have experienced his life of escaping in embarrassment in the future, and should not continue to be so arrogant.

So, a lot has changed in the future?

Chen Qing had some thoughts about this.

He just wanted to exit the time point of Alice, and then clicked on the time point of the next era to look back.

But soon, he discovered something unusual.

Because he noticed that the ancient mirror in front of him did not have an option for the next time node.

The entire mirror became completely blank after Alice, and there was no other picture at all for Chen Qing.

No Colin, no Qi Lu, nothing.

This made Chen Qing a little confused.

"strangeness……"

He tapped the mirror lightly with his hand, his eyes flashing with thought.

This situation, which was obviously not quite right, made him think a little.

This represents two possibilities.

In fact, the ancient mirror was not able to open so many scenes at the beginning. At the earliest, it was only the era of Alice.

But after a series of actions, he established himself as the Lord of Truth, and more and more people became aware of the benefits of this mirror, and many new users appeared.

And now, the future users have disappeared, which means...

Or in the future, his name will be completely buried into the dust of history.

Or, someone has been keeping this mirror sealed and not letting anyone use it!
