Chapter 841: Transaction with Weirdos
Helfas made another crystal skull.
There is a hollow layer inside the skull, and a barrier is set.
Find another strangeness of the sky path, inject the cloud-like strangeness into it, and set the servant law in the crystal skull.
The Book of Seals shouted on the side: "The first servant law..."
This plan, which seemed very complicated and even heavy at the beginning, was quite simple to complete in the end. It was just to create a special crystal skull.
However, the goal to be achieved was not simple at all.
Helfas planned to explore the extraordinary career path of the sky path through this plan, complete the access plan of the sky ladder, and further transform the cloud kingdom to weaken or eliminate the influence of the mythical weirdness.
Perhaps because his life span has become longer, the problems he planned and considered have become longer. In this era when even the rain kingdom seems empty, he has planned the problems that may be encountered hundreds or thousands of years later.
While the Book of Seals was busy, Helfas leaned against the wall to take a breath.
He crossed his arms and further thought.
"If we can really influence the Kingdom of Clouds and turn that barren land into a fertile land, does that mean that we can actually influence the climate on a large scale in the future?"
If possible, he hopes to be able to control the celestial phenomena, the weather, and even the climate through this profession. If he can control the climate, then he can freely transform the environment on earth. This is an incredible power and the authority to control the living conditions of all things.
"At least, we can predict the changes in celestial phenomena!"
"It seems that there are many benefits for those who find the sky path profession."
The Sealed Book was done: "The Servant Law has been engraved."
He immediately stepped forward and injected the images of several birdmen into it.
"Illusion simulation."
The surface of the crystal stone continued to wriggle out various colors, and finally a flesh-and-blood face gradually appeared in front of him. At least, it looked flesh-and-blood.
It can simulate different appearances, different genders, and even different races.
Helfas watched the other party's changes: "It's like creating a person. The ability to create intelligent life is the authority that only the creator should have!"
The Messenger of the Sealed Book: "If creating such a being is considered a creator, then there are too many creators in this world."
Helfas: "Isn't that a bit too blunt?"
Then the Messenger of the Sealed Book said: "Great Black King, of course I still respect you, but while respecting you, it is also my duty to tell the truth."
"Not deceiving you is even more of a respect."
Helfas: "I mean you can be more tactful, forget it... it's fine like this."
The Messenger of the Sealed Book: "The manufacturing has been completed. Should we inject memory and then put it into the world as planned?"
Helfas said: "I'll think about it again."
The next day.
Helfas frowned as he looked at the crystal skull on the stone table.
After a long consideration, he did not completely follow the suggestion of the Black Pen Messenger. He deleted the figure in the crystal skull, and finally there was only a blank space inside.
The original plan made by the Black Pen Messengers was to inject the memory of a dead person into the crystal skull, let it wake up without knowing anything, and then push the strange desire forward step by step, monitor and control it to complete the mission.
After the plan is completed, all its past will be erased.
They manipulate the other party from a high position, like a puppet.
Write its story in the book, and determine its fate. Facing a person and power like Helfas, it has absolutely no ability to resist.
The Messenger of the Sealed Book also saw Helfas's actions, and he asked.
"Why?"
"Have you given up on the plan you made?"
"That was such a perfect plan, and we think it has the highest probability of success."
Helfas asked him back: "Why do you think this plan has the highest success rate? Why don't you tell it who it is and what we are going to do?"
The Messenger of the Sealed Book replied: "Because the probability is higher, it knows more. The more information it has, the more unpredictable its behavior becomes, and even beyond our expectations; it knows nothing, so we can control it and achieve our desired goals."
Helfas: "But I have a bad feeling that playing with other people's lives is not a good thing. Luck, once it backfires, may be the most terrible result; you play with fate, and fate is also playing with you. "
The Messenger of the Sealed Book: "If people don't play with fate, will fate not play with people? Everything is just a matter of probability."
Helfas: "There are many things in the world that cannot be controlled, such as an earthquake just after mortals built a city, such as a wandering vendor lying on the ground and the clouds and mountains in the sky collapsed; but the relationship between people must follow a certain cause and effect. The cause you planted in others will become the result returned to you one day. "
The Messenger of the Sealed Book: "So it is enough to erase everything in the end. "
Helfas: "But after starting this, I can't stop. My mind will involuntarily become that kind of high-handed attitude, manipulating all living beings like puppets. One day, someone among these living beings will respond to you."
And he thinks, if he can do this thing uprightly, why hide in the dark corner and play the role of a behind-the-scenes mastermind.
If the weird thing doesn't want to, then I will change it.
If it agrees to backfire in the future, then I will get rid of it.
The Messenger of the Sealed Book: "This does not match the probability we calculated."
Helfas said: "If the little information and ability you have can calculate fate and cause and effect, I might as well believe in the result of tossing a coin to decide the heads and tails."
Since the creation of the crystal skull, Helfas has always relied on their power, so he hesitated before, but he instinctively felt that there was always something wrong with the "optimal plan" calculated by these black pens.
After figuring out the key points, he seemed to have further figured out how to use these crystal skulls.
No matter what, he should be the one to control these crystal skulls, not be controlled by them.
Soon.
He revised and reshaped the memory in the crystal skull and adjusted the relevant permissions.
The original crystal skulls were controlled by their own consciousness. The strange consciousness and instinct in those sealed objects could see the outside scene, but they were just looking. However, this crystal skull was almost completely dominated by the strangeness.
Helfas opened the window, and the light shone in. He could see that the head on the stone platform slowly opened its eyes, and the eyeballs began to move.
The messenger of the Book of Seals on the side immediately shouted: "It woke up!"
It saw that its head was placed on a stone platform, and it could not feel its body, and immediately shouted.
"What's going on? Why am I like this? Where's my body?"
"No."
"I remember I'm dead. How come I'm here?"
"Where is this?"
At this time, the man standing in front of him sat down and said to him.
"Have you forgotten?"
"You don't have a body at all. This is the first time you see the world from this perspective."
The man told him that he was originally a weirdo.
For thousands of years, he had been wandering in this world relying on instinct. It was the other party who put him in this head and injected a memory into him.
It was stagnant for a long time, as if trying to recall something: "So, I'm not this Lando, I'm a weirdo?"
The black-haired man: "That's right, but in order to make it easier for you to understand the situation and understand how to talk and think with me from a human perspective, I still gave you Lando's memory."
Lando was only thirteen or fourteen years old. He was born into a so-called birdman "scholar" family. He was very smart and good at learning, but he died of a serious illness not long ago.
It is an age where it has mastered knowledge and can communicate, but its worldview and outlook on life are not fully formed, which is exactly what Helfas needs.
It said: "But, I feel that I am Lando."
Helfas: "What you think is your own choice; I tell you what the situation is, this is my honesty."
It: "I understand."
Although it feels that it is Lando, some of its weirdness still appears on it. It also senses this awkwardness and reluctantly accepts Helfas's statement.
At this time, it looks at the memory in its mind again. Although it is still very clear, it feels that something is missing.
It seems.
There is less emotion and less personal experience.
Helfas then explains why he created it, his purpose, and the task it will perform next.
"So I need you to do two things. One is what kind of race and individual is suitable to become a Sky Path professional, and the other is to find a complete method to transfer to a Sky Path professional."
"After everything is successful, I will give you real wisdom and body according to your performance and achievements, and untie the shackles on you."
"This is a deal."
"You can agree or refuse."
Helfas looked at the other party, waiting for its answer.
It asked: "When do I leave here to perform the mission?"
Helfas turned to the side and sat down in the study, then lowered his head and started to do other things.
"It's up to you, you can leave whenever you decide."
--
What it likes most is the sea of clouds outside the window of this mountain mansion.
Especially when the sun rises, the golden light fills the entire sea of clouds, and the whole world is so bright that only white is left.
It can do nothing and just look outside the window day after day, and even feels that it will never get tired of it.
"How can this world be so beautiful."
"The light shines in through the window, it is hot and warm, so warm that it makes people feel happy."
"What is happiness? Why do I feel that light, warmth and happiness are related?"
"So this is the perspective of people."
"Hey, why do I say people? Do I already think of myself as a person?"
"It's great to be a person. I want to keep being one."
Even if it was just the changing scenery outside the window, the scattered light and shadows on the floor, it could bring it one after another fresh experience, which was something it could not feel as a weird thing before, and it was also something that the cold memories could not convey.
When the light shone on it for the first time, it even felt so happy that it was about to faint, and it couldn't help laughing.
But after watching so many scenes outside the skylight, it was still a little tired after all.
It looked at the person in the room. The other party would appear in the room on time every morning, check the information from all over the place through the book at a fixed time and then process it. In the afternoon, he would check the progress of his schedule or make a new plan.
Unlike the leisurely it, the other party seemed very busy, as if the world would stop working without him for a day.
It was tired of the scenery outside the window, while the other party did the same work day after day, but it seemed that he would never get tired of it.
It thought: "This must be a very pitiful guy, who is forced to work so hard every day, but doesn't know how to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside the window."
It tried to find a topic: "Why are your feet like this?"
The man responded to it while busy: "The feet of the God-shaped are like this."
It was surprised: "What does the God-shaped mean?"
The other party: "It is the posture of the gods."
Its voice became timid: "So... you are God?"
It turned out that the mysterious guy in front of him, who was busy every day, was actually the legendary god who brought good news to all bird people. In surprise, it even changed the name from "you" to "you".
Helfas replied: "If it is the god in those memories you obtained, it should be me."
It: "Why are you like this?"
The other party: "Do you think I don't look like a god?"
It: "I lack a bit of majesty, and you don't even have a servant to serve you. You live alone in this empty house."
"They all say that God lives in an incredible country, surrounded by countless slaves. You can have whatever you want and enjoy the greatest happiness in the world."
The other party: "I can also be majestic. I once lived in the most magnificent city and was served by countless monks, but now it is not necessary."
It: "Why is it not necessary?"
The other party: "You need countless servants to set off your majesty because you are not majestic. Because the weak have to pretend to be strong. I can show unlimited majesty to you in an instant. Strict, and can also display power that is completely incredible to you at any time, which makes it meaningless for me to show my majesty and strength in front of you. "
It seemed that it didn't listen at all, and only thought that those with such feet were gods: "If I want feet like yours, can I!"
The other party: "You can transform into various forms through the crystal skull, or you can transform into me."
It was excited, and suddenly a little panic: "Will this be offensive?"
The other party: "You are not the first person to have this idea. In fact, many people have begun to imitate the form of gods a long time ago. At first, they were gods and apostles of gods, and now even ordinary professionals will become gods."
It suddenly felt a little disappointed: "It turns out that many people have this form!"
It ran out.
The door of the study closed immediately, and the man then looked down at the table.
From this day on, it no longer stared blankly outside the window, but changed into different forms every day and walked around the mansion.
It began to walk outside the mansion to bask in the sun. When looking at the world from various different angles, everything became wonderful again.
It experienced all kinds of emotions and began to have all kinds of requests.
When it saw the light, it wanted warmth.
When it felt the warmth, it thought of happiness.
When it left the window, it saw the palace and other "people", and when it had an idea, it would associate more.
On this day, it asked the black-haired man: "I want a name."
The black-haired man gave it a memory and didn't even design his appearance.
Black-haired man: "Lando."
It: "So perfunctory, not special at all."
Helfas: "It's better to keep it simple. The name is originally a code name. You can also choose a new one yourself."
It asked again: "Then God, what is your name?"
The other party: "My name is the black-haired man."
It wanted to laugh, but it didn't dare to laugh when it thought that the other party was a god.
Finally, it could only suppress its smile and said, "It seems even more perfunctory than mine."
Other: "But in the eyes of many people, this name has long become sacred, making people reverent and afraid, and people dare not pronounce it."
It: "Then what kind of feeling will my name bring to people?"
Other: "That depends on what you do and what kind of person you will become in the future."
It: "I also want a look that belongs to me."
Black-haired man: "After you go to the human world, you can customize your appearance at will."
It said: "Why can't you give me anything?"
Black-haired man: "I have already given it to you. It is the most precious thing in the world, called choice."
It said: "But if my name and appearance are specially chosen for me by gods, I will become different from others and a very special existence."
Black-haired man: "I don't want to choose."
It wondered: "Why?"
The black-haired man: "I don't want to interfere too much with your destiny. I just made a deal with you, and being able to choose your own life is the most special existence. There is nothing special about being chosen by others, even the so-called God."
It seemed to understand and nodded: "Oh!"
Stayed too long.
The beautiful golden mountain tops, the beautiful and majestic mansion buildings, the blue sky and the wandering sea of clouds seem not to be so strange anymore.
It stands on the edge of the cliff on the sea of clouds, looking at the world.
finally.
It remembered its mission and decided to leave.
It ran to Helfas: "I suddenly remembered that I still have a mission."
The man sat behind the desk, facing the light, and kept writing with his pen: "I understand, I will arrange for the black pen messenger to send you down."
It was looking forward to it: "I'm going to take a look at Lando's hometown. It seems very interesting there."
There was no response from the other party.
It seemed like I heard what it said, but it seemed like I didn't.
It didn't stop, and after hesitating for a while, it asked the other party a question while leaving.
"I heard from the envoys of the Sealed Book that they were actually not prepared to tell me all this. They were planning to throw me directly into the human world and control me to carry out my mission."
"Why did you decide to tell me everything and not force me to go on a mission?"
"Is it because you don't think it's necessary?"
The man behind the desk raised his head and looked at the human form it had transformed into today.
"Because it is manipulating your destiny. When you wake up one day, you will resent me. What I did was not upright, and your heart will become dark because of this."
"I will tell you clearly why I created you, what you should do and what you should not do, and what you will get if you succeed."
"In this way, if you disobey my will in the end, I will punish you mercilessly."
"I don't have much guilt, and you don't have much resentment."
It says, “What if I still feel resentful?”
The eyes of the man behind the desk finally showed a hint of god-like indifference. The light extended from behind him to his body, making him suddenly feel a little scared.
"At least, I don't feel guilty."
It looked at the man behind the desk. Perhaps he still didn't look like a god, but something made him look taller.
It said: "Suddenly I feel that you are so harsh that you look like a god!"
Helfas: "Do you think gods must be harsh?"
It: "Kind and harsh, just as you are now."
Finally, it thanked the figure behind the desk.
"But thank you for giving me a choice."
——
The day I left.
Helfas didn't come to give it away. He seemed to be very busy today, unlike it that took so long to think of what to do.
Although it doesn't know what the other party is busy with, since they are gods, shouldn't they just accept offerings from believers?
It was a black pen messenger who sent it away, and it asked the other party.
"If I complete the task or discover something, how should I report it?"
The black pen messenger swayed and told it.
"You can pass the message to the nearest Black Pen Messenger through the Crystal Skull, and then the Black Pen Messenger will upload the information to the Sealed Book Messenger, and finally he will deliver it here."
"However, each Black Pen Messenger has many responsibilities and a large amount of messages to process and deliver."
“Too much information may interfere with the work of other black pens, so it’s best to write without transmitting images.”
It turns out that information is like water flow. Too much will clog the water pipes.
The Black Pen Messenger opens the barrier.
It goes to the world.
When it fell into the sea of clouds, it looked back at the residence of the gods on the top of the sea of clouds, and seemed to vaguely see the figure sitting behind the desk through a window high up.
That strange god who is always busy, although he rarely talks to it, has also taught it a lot of things.
Even if the other party talks about "destiny" and "choice" and other topics that it doesn't understand at all, at least it will let it know that gods are probably this kind of blabbering guy who speaks words that ordinary people can't understand at all. Bar.
It's like the worlds of the two people are one dimension apart.
It opens up wisdom here and experiences many emotions that only humans can have.
So what can it gain in the wider human world?
