Chapter 1072 Listening
It's not that Hao Ren is just thinking, but after being exposed to so many supernatural events, he has learned a lot about this bizarre and abnormal world. He knows very well the nature of things related to gods - gods are like powerful beings. Sources of information radiation, inextricable information and data will naturally revolve around the activities of the gods, even after the gods die.
Raven 12345 once clearly said that the causal bond between the God-Killing Sword and the Goddess of Creation will guide Hao Ren to find the Founding Star, so he has reason to doubt that every link he comes into contact with from now on will be related to the God-Killing Goddess. Clues related to the divine incident will be interfered with by the God-killing Sword.
So under this premise, it would be too unsettling if he still knew nothing about this sword.
"Every time I pick up this sword, there will be a 'voice' that keeps echoing in the depths of my mind, vague and ethereal, like a mantra in a dream that keeps repeating some obscure sentences," Hao Ren said softly. Vivian said, "In fact, it doesn't even sound like it, but is simply some foreign 'ideas'. Although the data terminal did not find that this sword has the characteristics of an intelligent creature, I still suspect that there is a consciousness in this sword... …It’s just that the way it operates is inanimate, even illogical, and therefore cannot be observed with conventional scans. But now that I can hear it, I feel like I can communicate with it.”
Vivian's eyes were a little uneasy: "Is this dangerous?"
"This sword has been blessed by Raven 12345," Hao Ren smiled, "Although that sister is quite unreliable, her skills have always been reliable."
"Then what are you going to do?" Vivian looked into Hao Ren's eyes curiously, "You can't even understand its 'words'."
Hao Ren shook his head: "I didn't listen carefully, because I have always been resistant to this thing, but now I decided to try to accept its voice. Anyway... I took a thing I didn't understand and went to stay with God. It’s so frustrating to deal with clues, I have to change the status quo.”
Vivian saw Hao Ren's determined eyes. She didn't say anything pretentious, but nodded gently: "Be more careful."
Hao Ren hummed and sat down cross-legged casually. He stood the God-killing Sword vertically in front of him and gently pressed the cold and massless blade against his forehead. At the same time, he spoke to the data terminal in his mind. The order was given: "Monitor my psychic protection, the highest alert level."
After saying this, his whole body relaxed instantly as if he suddenly fell asleep, and his breathing eased into an almost meditative state of calm.
Vivian looked at Hao Ren's instant temperament change with some surprise. She thought of some ancient and secret mental self-control methods, and Hao Ren's current state was obviously similar to those control techniques. She couldn't help but chuckle: "This Guy... I'm not lazy usually."
A group of small bats emerged from the darkness and flew around Vivian several times before forming a cushion floating in the air. Vivian quietly sat down a short distance away from Hao Ren and said nothing. Guarding.
"Go" stood beside her with her tail upright and grinned for a long time. Then she relaxed in a daze. She walked carefully to Hao Ren and wanted to nudge him with her head to confirm whether she was the "shit shovel officer". She was dead, but Vivian grabbed her collar and pulled her back: "Don't make trouble, just watch quietly."
At this time, Hao Ren's whole mind has been immersed in his own spiritual world. He can still perceive what is happening around him, but Vivian's voice becomes ethereal as if across thousands of mountains and rivers, and the coldness around him The night breeze and the touch of the ground beneath me also became numb. He seemed to be immersed in chaos. In this spiritual realm that was difficult to describe in words, anything that did not belong to this place seemed extremely abrupt.
That vague "whispering sound" was amplified thousands of times, reverberating in the chaotic sea of spirits like a bell.
Hao Ren's consciousness is floating in the spiritual world. This is the first time that he has "diven" to such a deep place in his spiritual world so smoothly. This should be attributed to the guidance of the data terminal and the information he received from other censors before. Of course, some of the advice he received from his colleagues should also be attributed to the power of the God-killing Sword: the "whispering sound" of this sword was like a beacon, leading him continuously into the depths of chaos.
Hao Ren stopped in a place that looked like the sea. The "sea surface" under his feet showed a strange blue color, which seemed to be the strange appearance of the ocean in the real world after being distorted in dreams. This plane slowly slowed down silently. Slowly undulating, like a movie scene slowed down dozens of times. Guided by the sudden and harsh "noise", Hao Ren finally found the location of the "foreign object". The state of this "foreign object" in the spiritual world shocked him.
I saw a mountain-like... no, a fragment larger than the mountain lying tilted in the sea water. The lower part was completely submerged in the sea of spirits, and the upper part extended upwards to the end of the infinite chaos of sight. This weird thing The behemoth is completely black, and its color is so deep that no details can be seen at all, while dots of bright light are embedded on its surface, just like stars in the universe.
"It seems that this is what the God-Killing Sword... looks like in the spiritual world." Hao Ren cautiously approached the behemoth. Although he was in his own spiritual realm, he still tried to be careful, because he He is quite inexperienced in mental self-control skills, and he is afraid that he will accidentally become a second-rate person like Lily. "Although it looks scary, it doesn't seem to have any impact on the surrounding environment... I just don't know it." Did the whispers in the minds of those demon hunters also invade their spiritual world in this state?"
No one in the spiritual world could answer these soliloquies. Hao Ren just muttered and observed around the huge black fragment. At the same time, waves of complex thoughts continued to emanate from the fragment, forming a certain... A hallucinatory roar echoed in the space.
He concentrated all his energy and tried to discern some vague information:
"...chaos...weirdness...order...balance...conflict...false..."
"They are all meaningless fragments of thought." Hao Ren murmured softly. He felt that the God-killing Sword was actually "dead", and what was making a loud noise here was actually just the remnant sound left by the soul of the sword.
But he shook his head again. He was not just sighing like this because he had gone through so much trouble.
He stepped forward cautiously again and tried to put his hand on the black shell: "What on earth are you talking about..."
"That depends on what you're listening to."
Hao Ren was stunned for a moment, and then flew more than a hundred meters away in an instant: "What the hell?!"
"Why are you running?" The roaring noise from all directions disappeared at some point, and a vague, mechanical voice sounded in Hao Ren's ears, "Didn't you ask me to speak?"
"Wait a minute...are you talking?" Hao Ren quickly calmed down and stared dumbly at the black "big mountain" on the sea not far away. He really wanted to "communicate" with the God-killing Sword. But he didn't expect the other party to speak like this! This is thanks to his healthy heart, otherwise he would have started taking quick-acting drugs by now, "God-killing sword?"
"The God-Killing Sword? I don't know who the God-Killing Sword is. Is that my name?" The hollow voice was still echoing around, but Hao Ren noticed that these voices were much clearer than before, like a Just like a person gradually wakes up from talking in sleep, "Who are you?"
Hao Ren was stunned: "You don't know who you are?"
"I don't know." The voice sounded so honest. It answered the questions seriously and even answered more questions than Hao Ren asked. "I've always been... like this, and I've never seen anything as strange as you." The...thing. You were the first...thing to take the initiative to talk to me."
"I'm a human, and you keep barking." Hao Ren felt awkward. "Do you know where this place is?"
"have no idea."
"Do you know how long you've been like this?"
"I know what 'time' is, but I don't know how to calculate it, but I think it must be a long time."
"Um...then do you know who made you?"
"have no idea."
"...Do you know the goddess of creation?"
"have no idea."
"Then what do you know?"
"I don't know what I know, and I don't know what I don't know. Only if you ask me questions will I know whether I know or not."
Hao Ren was dumbfounded.
The God-Killing Sword can indeed communicate, but this guy is just a confused god!
