Chapter 150 Rules
Even if Cliff agreed to hand over the rules to Shen Yi, it would not be an easy task to convey these contents.
According to Cliff, the purgatory sect's rules and knowledge are all in the form of information flow, recorded in the blood of immortality, and passed down from generation to generation.
For the inheritors of those rules, the rules are not so much knowledge as an acquired potential.
It's just that some people are willing to explore this potential, such as Edmund.
Some people are not happy, such as Cliff, Hercules.
But no matter what kind of person they are, in fact, they have no way to describe the rules in words or words.
"Why is that?" Shen Yi was puzzled.
"First: the city does not allow it. Once many messages related to the content of the rules exist in the form of records, they will be destroyed by the city. Second: the rules we have are not systematic and comprehensive. For example, you can use naval guns as Guns, but can you really use words to sort out the original rules?"
Shen Yi was stunned, after thinking about it, it was really like this.
Although he can use naval guns as guns, it is really not easy to make systematic recording rules.
It's not that there are no records of the rules, but that the adventurers have never seen the original records.
Rules are like laws.
For those who have not studied law, they can only know what the law allows and what is not allowed, but they don't know the details.
It seems that many people know that killing people in "justifiable self-defense" is legal.
But when you ask him what the prerequisites for self-defense are, many people don't know.
Even if he knows the general idea, it will be difficult for him to write it out systematically.
The Purgatory Sect is the same. After a century of development, they know many rules of the city, but they are all based on practicality. Many things are also known but they don’t know why. Therefore, it can be used if it is used. It is really necessary to restore the specific original rules. , is almost impossible.
And among the hundreds of rules, most of them are vague, conscious,
Some rules may be able to be described verbally, such as Shen Yi's naval gun, while some are not even able to describe, and are just a vague concept.
Under such circumstances, it would not be easy for Cliff to pass the rules to Shen Yi.
"Unless you only want the part I can describe clearly."
"That won't work!" Shen Yikou categorically denied it.
From what is known, it is obvious that Edmund has not only mastered the clear parts of the Purgatory Sect's rules, he may even have deduced the unclear parts. It's just that this cunning guy didn't pass it on.
But no matter what, Edmund's ability is based on the Purgatory Sect's century-old inheritance. If he misses some parts, he will probably miss the most important thing, and it will take too much time.
"Then how can I give it to you?" Cliff was also anxious.
After thinking about it, Shen Yi replied: "Use communication!"
Cliff was stunned.
This is a good way, the idea of communication itself is non-literal and purely abstract, if not for this, it is impossible for Shen Yi to communicate with animals, after all animals can't speak human language.
Because of this, those rules that cannot be described in words can also be passed on to Shen Yi through communication.
But in this way, Cliff has to let go of his heart and let Shen Yi enter.
This is not a good thing.
His face changed slightly.
"You can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry." Shen Yi smiled.
Cliff's face changed indefinitely.
The overwhelming artillery fire on the hillside in front of me was roaring down, causing the adventurers to run away with their heads in their arms.
The imperial army came crushing with ten times stronger military strength than the previous Red Police Corps. Looking at the army in the distance, the huge giant robots and the countless dark heavy tanks, the risky Those who were almost desperate.
"We have to get out of here!" Wei Chibo shouted loudly.
"The question is where to go? We can't go anywhere!" Hua Tianrui shouted angrily.
Edmund's redefined rules made adventurers firmly trapped on the land.
They cannot return, only to fight!
Fight to the death!
"Even if we are leaving, we must clear the rankings first before leaving!" Eva shouted loudly, she pointed with a slender hand, and the polar ice phoenix had spit out a mouthful of frost, forming a world of ice and snow in the distance.
During the period when Cliff and Shen Yi were talking, Ava was in charge of the command of the polar ice phoenix.
An adventurer scolded angrily: "Are you still thinking about the ranking at this time?"
"Of course I want to." Eva replied loudly: "Until the last moment, we must never give up! I believe we will definitely be winners! I don't want us to win the war, but fall short because of this last slack!"
Eva looked at Cliff and made a confident declaration.
Just like Gentle believes in Shen Yi, Ai Wa also unconditionally believes in Cliff.
Cliff looked at Eva, at Meryl, and at the other partners around him—they all chose to follow him and betray Edmund because they believed in him.
He took a deep breath.
"Have you figured it out?" Shen Yi asked leisurely.
Cliff finally nodded: "Okay, I promise you. But Shen Yi, you'd better take it easy!"
"Don't worry, I know what to do."
Close your eyes slightly and open your heart.
Shen Yi's thoughts had already spread to the depths of Cliff's heart.
This is the first time he has entered the sea of consciousness of an adventurer without hindrance. It is like entering a strange and grotesque space. The sky cannot be seen from above, the ground cannot be seen from below, and there are halos everywhere. Flying around, like stars, the farthest may be tens of thousands of light-years away, and only a faint bright spot can be seen, but the nearest one is close at hand, and you can clearly see a picture in the halo. This picture is exactly the scene of the previous battle.
And around these pictures, streams of light of various colors are flying.
Some are dazzling, some are dull, some are divinely brilliant, and some are dark and cold. Different streams of light are like ribbons, intertwined to form a giant net.
Being in the net, you can feel all kinds of emotions coming from it, including joy and joy, anger and sadness, compassion and sympathy, and jealousy and hatred.
Shen Yi knows that the halo is the memory, and the flow of light is the emotion. Different memories have different emotional responses, which fully demonstrates that human beings are both good and evil, creatures with complex emotions, and they are neither inherently good nor inherently evil.
The sea of consciousness is extremely unstable, some halos are always shattered, and some halos rise again, this is the change of memory. Optical flow is always changing, which means that even for the same thing, people's views on it will change as time goes by and knowledge grows.
Some of the halos are relatively illusory, with blurred pictures and dim light flow, which means that if these halos are not old memories, they are some imaginary pictures, so they lack specific perception.
Cliff has fewer illusory images and lower changes in optical flow, which shows that he rarely fantasizes, is calm in mood, and is a realistic and extremely restrained person.
This fits his personality very well.
However, in those relatively long-term memories, Shen Yi saw a scene of a bare-bottomed boy falling to the ground and crying. A blond woman rushed over, hugged Cliff, and comforted him carefully.
Shen Yi smiled, sure enough, no matter what kind of hero, he would have a cute side when he was a child.
And beside this picture, there is a particularly clear scene, so clear that it looks like it just happened yesterday.
The blond woman was lying on the floor of a house, covered in a pool of blood. A black man with a vague face took a gun and fled hurriedly through the door. The blond woman was still moaning softly, she murmured softly: "Cliff... run..."
The stream of light under the image was gray and full of sadness.
Skip this picture, and you can also see a clear picture.
A sixteen-year-old blond boy was standing in front of a black man, shooting him repeatedly.
He growled loudly: "Remember my name, I am Cliff Coskeri, the child of that innocent woman you killed!"
Another picture jumped into Shen Yi's eyes.
That's Edmund.
His finger pointed at the center of the screen as if pointing at the camera, and Edmund's rumbling voice echoed in his ear: "From now on, your name is Cliff Dane, the third heir to the Dane family!"
The stream of light burst into light.
"My name is Cliff Coskeri..." The voice suddenly resounded in the entire sea of consciousness, constantly echoing.
In an instant, these words resounded in every screen, impacting Shen Yi, making his heart tremble.
It was a roar from the bottom of his heart. Shen Yi never knew that Cliff, who was calm on the surface, had such a wild call from the bottom of his heart.
The roar shook his heart, until Cliff's angry voice came: "Have you seen enough! How much more do you want to know about me?"
"Oh...I'm sorry, I didn't intend to inquire about your privacy, but you know that since you are a guest, you will always get to know the host along the way."
"Hurry up and do your thing!" Cliff really wanted to give Shen Yi a hard punch.
A blood-red spot of light flew from the sky, straight towards Shen Yi.
Shen Yi grabbed it.
The bloody halo immediately burst into a large piece of light, covering Shen Yi completely.
The next moment, Shen Yi let out a loud scream, and the memory of the Purgatory Sect's centuries-old rules had flooded into Shen Yi's mind.
Shen Yi disconnected.
At that moment, his pupils dilated and contracted rapidly, obviously receiving and digesting the news.
Some shocked him, some confused him, and some made him suddenly enlightened.
"Do you understand everything?" Cliff asked sinisterly, it seemed that he was still very dissatisfied with Shen Yi peeping into his childhood memories.
"Yes, but I still need to sort it out before I can understand his plan."
"You don't have much time, we're going to run out of steam."
"Work hard, whether it's you or me, we are all facing a difficult situation." Shen Yi replied with a sigh.
He cut off the call suddenly, and said, "Zeus, tell me where Edmund is."
"He has arrived at the command hall."
"Have you found the Sith Emperor?"
"No trace of the Sith Emperor was captured. He seemed to be hiding in a corner of the spaceship and did not show up. The image catcher only saw a teleportation image."
"Really? Then he is really careful." Shen Yi didn't find it strange.
The Sith Emperor is the ultimate expression of strength and defense in a humanoid life, and his vitality and defense may not be as high as that of an adventurer, so it is normal not to show his real body easily.
"But I don't understand why he didn't take action." Zeus said, "Even if he claims to be the emperor, the enemies are all coming to his hometown now."
"Maybe this rule can give us the answer." Shen Yi put all the knowledge about the rules into one of his memory partitions, and then started to switch until a vague stream of consciousness appeared.
This is a law about the final boss. There are many rules about bosses. This is a behavior-limiting law.
According to the description of the behavior limitation law, when the BOSS is in the non-task-target state, its activity is high, and when it is in the task-target state, its activity is low.
For example, in the original Diablo, Mephisto, the demon god of hatred, was a non-mission BOSS, so it was extremely active and could appear anywhere freely, and would even actively attack Megatron.
Mission bosses like Megatron, on the other hand, are less active and have fixed locations, so they cannot move freely within a limited location and time.
Since it is a practical inversion theory, the Purgatory Sect cannot give a complete description of this, but only points out that the more powerful the BOSS, the more affected by this law. BOSS strength also has an impact.
This is completely different from Shen Yi and the others' original guess that the boss's strength will not change.
According to the speculation of the Purgatory Sect, this behavior restriction rule is mainly to facilitate the actions of adventurers.
Otherwise, everyone has worked so hard to prepare everything to kill the boss, only to find that there is nowhere to find the boss, which is not a problem at all. Even the BOSS is smart enough to take the initiative to set up an ambush attack, and the adventurer is limited by the task, so it becomes a trap that must be stepped on, which is tantamount to forcing the adventurer to die.
Therefore, this rule is mainly set up to balance the difficulty.
But the principle is the principle, once it is implemented into specific and executable content, there will always be differences.
The simplest example, once a non-task BOSS suddenly becomes a task BOSS for some reason?
what will happen?
no one knows.
Since no one can interfere with the mission, this kind of thing has never happened before.
But this time it showed up.
As a non-mission target BOSS, the Sith Emperor originally had great autonomy in action.
But after Edmund re-established the field rules, everything changed.
"The Sith Emperor is immortal, and adventurers cannot return!"
This was originally a rule, but it produced something similar to a mission, which was equivalent to sending out missions to all adventurers in disguise.
Before that, Shen Yi thought that this rule was used to force adventurers to attack the Sith Emperor.
But now he doesn't think so - the adventurers can't protect themselves, where can they attack the Sith Emperor?
His real purpose is probably to create a mission in disguise.
The so-called power of rules is originally to exploit the loopholes in the rules.
And the real purpose of this rule is probably to make the rule produce an effect similar to a task.
When a non-quest boss suddenly became a mission boss, many problems would arise. For Edmund who was prepared, it might be a good time to take advantage of it.
Although I don't know what he can do with this, at least for now, Edmund has successfully approached the Sith Emperor without hindrance.
"This may be the reason why the Supreme Council issued the arrest warrant..." Shen Yi murmured, "If this was placed in ancient times, it would be a false imperial decree!"
