Chapter 22 Key Information

Although Byers has witnessed Phil's severed hand, Weber's hanging, and Mr. "Magic"'s worms gathered into palms, he has a certain understanding of the horror and mutation brought by "0-02", but after all, the level is not enough. , I can't see it, I don't have a very clear grasp of the horror hidden behind these things, and it is more understood as a ghost story turned into reality.

So, at this moment, he was afraid, and under the gaze of the magical "magician" and the angel on the ground, he still mustered his courage and quickly approached the rectangular table. Of course, this also has the "sailor" pathway itself some impact.

That is, in two or three steps, Byers had reached the place where he could reach out and touch the brass book.

Without thinking, he stuck out his right palm, grabbed the brass pages in front of "0-02", and turned them quickly.

During this process, the back of Byers' hand has been resting on the unfilled brass page to prevent it from being obscured, so that he and Mr. "Magic" and Ms. Angel can observe the changes on it in time. respond.

In the sound of clattering, this "sailor" saw the clause that "touching the 'Trensost Brass Book' will be punished by death", a panic burst in his heart, and then a strong doubt surged up. Doubtful status.

However, this did not affect his movement of turning pages forward, and Klein's eyes showed different brass pages one after another, and each page had different rules.

The projections of these brass pages do not appear in the form of one disappearing and one filling, but exist side by side and gradually increase.

At the end, Klein's two eyes have different numbers of images of brass book pages left. They are neatly arranged, row after row, as if "0-02" was split into single pages, which are placed on the glass table. Like sunbathing.

This is an angel-level "dream divination" technique, and Klein reappeared the things he had just seen before his eyes one by one.

As time passed, in his dark brown and nearly black eyes, the brass pages began to rotate, highlighting one of them:

"...The 'Trensost Brass Book' originates from the 'Inquisitor' 'Uniqueness' that was polluted by the 'Disordered Nation'..."

As I expected, since the "Trensost Brass Book" can present all the underlying rules, the corresponding content must contain its own description! This is determined by its essence, unless it is fully awakened or activated, has sufficient wisdom, and knows to selectively hide... Klein just flashed the thought of joy when he saw the previously unfilled image. On the brass pages, new mercury words began to emerge.

This means that "0-02" has finally separated a part of its power from the infinite loop, and is ready to add provisions, make explanations, and fix loopholes.

"Leave!" Klein shouted without hesitation.

Byers strictly followed the order of the high-ranking person, immediately withdrew his right hand, turned his body, and ran towards the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Pretend to attack me." Seeing that the "sailor" with dual attributes had left the municipal library, Klein suddenly added another sentence.

Biles was full of puzzlement, but he still raised his right arm, pulled his shoulders back, and put on a gesture that he was about to throw a fist at Klein.

At this time, the new provisions finally took shape:

"With respect to the above rules, the 'Trensost Brass Book' and the people it allows have immunity when enforcing the law..."

However, even if the article was successfully issued, Byers was not punished in any way.

Obviously, the "Trensost Brass Book" will not pursue the problems that arise when the infinite loop or the definition is unclear, just like it did not give "Magic Mirror" Arrodes after patching the loopholes in the rules before. Add any charges.

For the same reason,

Byers, who has actually been in contact with "0-02", has not suffered contamination by the source material - before the introduction of the supplementary clause, Byers was a part of Beldan and could not be destroyed in any sense, so it would not be contaminated, while With the supplementary terms, the previous behavior will not be "responsible".

In fact, after Byers left the Municipal Library, he violated the "curfew order" again, but Klein had noticed a problem before, that is, the citizens of Beldan were not restricted by the "curfew order" when chasing foreigners. Therefore, he made Byers put on a posture of attacking himself and avoided the corresponding punishment.

Immediately afterwards, he seized the opportunity of "0-02" to patch this loophole, and quickly recalled the detailed information of "Trensost Brass Book":

"...this book has the quality of being alive, but most of the time it's at a very low level...

"...The first half of it shows almost all the big bottom-level rules, and the second half is blank and needs to be written by yourself...

"... Once it is not restricted, it will naturally formulate biased laws for the surrounding area and strictly implement them. During this process, it will revise and correct it at any time according to the problems that are fed back.

"...As the law becomes stricter, the character of his living will deepen...When a strict law that can interfere with all aspects takes shape, the 'Brass Book of Trenzost' will be completely alive, with true The wisdom of , and the ability to modify the underlying rules of the first half to a certain extent... The specific degree that can be achieved is as follows...

"...if there are inconsistencies between the provisions of the law and cannot be amended, or if the pages are full but not a sufficiently rigorous system of rules has been formed, the 'Brass Book of Trenzost' will At the junction of half parts, a new clause "The following rules are invalid" is added.

"As this clause takes shape, the rules written later will gradually disappear, leaving the pages blank...

"...after the second half is completely blank, the clause 'The following rules are void' will be erased, and the 'Brass Book of Trenzost' will repeat the previous actions until a strict law that interferes with all aspects takes shape ...

"...The rules it makes must be publicized or informed before it can take effect... When an act does not have clear provisions, is it illegal to follow the general cognition of the surrounding creatures...

"... The 'Trensost Brass Book' hates twisted, unbeautiful rules, and hates being found for loopholes..."

What a detailed description... There should be an implied method of sealing "0-02"... Klein's thoughts turned around, trying to find out the information that could be used from each paragraph of text.

At this moment, Arianna, the leader of the ascetic monks of the Church of the Night, said in a low voice:

"Looking for a way to fill the pages behind '0-02' with clauses, but it's not strict enough."

right! In this way, the "Trensost Brass Book" will declare the following rules invalid, and start again. At that time, its restrictions on the surrounding will disappear for a short time, giving us the opportunity to touch it, take it away, or directly to the The gods pray... But how to do this? "Trensost Brass Book" hates distorted, unbeautiful rules, and hates being found for loopholes... Klein's heart moved, and he already had inspiration.

Without hesitation, he immediately stretched out his hands forward, as if embracing the air.

In the next second, the building area shrunk to one-tenth of the original Beldan Municipal Library, and a hall covered with dark black slate and chopped patterns came to reality.

There are eight black stone pillars standing in this hall, and one metal rod after another hangs down from the high dome - their bottom ends are respectively connected with candlesticks carved into different creatures, 41 on the left and 40 on the right.

This is the ruling hall of the Tudor-Trensost United Empire that Klein once saw. At that time, the two consuls were still Sequence 1 "Prince Killing" of the "Dark Emperor" pathway. Therefore, this place is full of distortions. , not in line with normal conditions, without any aesthetic rules.

In addition, when Klein summoned this historical scene, he also used the ability in this field to add many details of the Fourth Epoch that he had mastered, making the order originating from the "Dark Emperor" more detailed and complete, as if it were substantial .

Snapped!

His hands were broken at the same time at the wrists and fell to the ground, and the wounds spurted blood, just like ordinary people.

This is the second time that Klein has committed fraud!

After the two palms and the gushing blood fell to the ground one after another, they quickly disintegrated, turning into transparent twisted worms and a slightly viscous almost invisible liquid.

As these "insects of spirit" twitched and died, Klein distorted his expression due to pain, and let numerous insects craw out from the fracture, forming a new palm.

At the same time, he tried his best to maintain the scene he built up through many summons, and didn't let it dissipate.

On the rectangular table, inside the book bound with brass pages, many new clauses appeared:

“…all buildings and layouts follow the golden ratio, symmetrical aesthetics…”

"...No fancy clothes allowed..."

"...The following crimes must be sentenced to death..."

"..."

The "Trensost Brass Book" rolled over, and at intervals made corrections one after another for those orders derived from the "Dark Emperor". The further back, the faster the new provisions appeared. There is no longer even a pause of tens of seconds or ten seconds.

Inside the hall, the candlesticks hanging from the ceiling broke and disappeared one after another, and then there were various changes in the rest of the hall, so that the details that could reflect the original order were erased one by one.

In the end, the hall was finally unsustainable, collapsed directly, and returned to the historical pores.

At this point, the "Trensost Brass Book" had turned to the last two pages on its own, and was spread out there, and there was no more movement.

Seeing that the last page was also filled with clauses, and could not form a strict system with the rules formulated before "0-02", Klein breathed out silently, relaxed a little, and felt that his spirituality was almost exhausted.

"Let's go to Byers' house and wait for an hour." He turned around and said to Arianna.

If they stay in place, they will be punished more severely for repeatedly violating the "curfew order" until they are sentenced to death.

As for monitoring the "Trensost Brass Book", to ensure that there are no unexpected tasks, it is of course handed over to Arrodes. Although this magic mirror cannot directly read "0-02", it can follow the notice board. , judging the progress of things from the disappearance of the above decree.
