Screaming Cycle (Infinite Flow) - Chapter 273
The library is the exit of the second floor of the maze. Ji Lu and Ren Jian silently passed through the secret door and were transported to the “kingdom of God” of Brahman.
Compared with the previous time, this time, their progress is much faster, and it is naturally impossible to encounter Baroque.
In fact, besides Ji Xiaoniao and his family Ren Dameiren, Bing Hao and Baroque have just broken through the first floor, and Mo Tiangen and Fan Hemian are still staying in the corridor obediently, counting the remaining time for them. Woolen cloth.
Standing on the small floating island, Ren Jian observed everything around him in silence.
The blue sea hung upside down above his head, and the white waves rolled, wave after wave, reaching the horizon beyond the sight. The fine water drops scattered with the waves, turned into cool and salty raindrops, and fell on the two of them.
At the feet of Ren Jianmo, there was a thick white cloud like cotton candy.
The clouds are so thick that it is almost difficult to see everything below the knee.
This makes people instinctively produce the illusion of standing in the air among the clouds, so beautiful, so fantastic, and so frightening.
This kind of scenery, in the eyes of anyone, should be extremely shocking, as long as you have seen it once, it will be deeply imprinted in your mind.
But no matter how hard Ren Jianmo tried to recall, trying to find the clues left by the last time he came here from the blank brain, he found nothing.
Yes, he doesn’t remember.
Ren Jianmo’s brain is like a computer that has just been reloaded with the system. Apart from his innate fighting instinct, it is difficult to find a trace of information.
He really couldn’t remember anything, and naturally it was impossible to know how all this was caused.
In fact, a memory that Ren Jian silently forgot was the “price” he paid.
Equivalent exchange, if you wish, is something that you can never get back after you have paid it.
Ren Jianmo’s second ability is called “Hunyuan Youdao”.
Like his “God says there must be light”, it is an extremely rare mental power.
The supernatural powers in “Peach Blossom Spring” are all sorts of strange.
There are power types like Mo Tiangen or Ma Ke, as well as aliens like Su Rong that can deform the whole body or part of it, and even stronger ones that can manipulate certain substances and even elements.
Most senior actors will feel that from the distribution of the number of people with various abilities, the Healing Department—especially those with the ability to reach a high level of difficulty—are the rarest talents in the “Peach Blossom Spring”.
This is not the case.
Compared with the treatment department, the more rare is the mental ability.
Because this is a force that is not allowed in “Peach Blossom Spring”.
For “Peach Blossom Spring”, everything is like refining Gu.
Participants who meet the standards are equivalent to small bugs. They are all locked in a sealed space, and then once a month, they are put into a carefully selected and designed “world” according to their strengths and weaknesses. Here, let them struggle for survival in desperate situations, becoming closer and closer to the finished product in “their” mind.
While doing all of this, “Peach Blossom Spring” never considered stimulating the ability of the participants to control their thinking and spirit.
But Ren Jianmo still possesses mental abilities, and there are still two.
“Peach Blossom Spring” was afraid of him, and it was born because of this.
When Ren Jianmo’s “God Says There Is Light” is at its fullest, he can control any creature with a fully or partially autonomous consciousness, force them to execute their instructions, or engage in spiritual communication similar to telepathy.
Even in the “world” of “separation of flesh and blood”, the whole body is peeled off and there is only a skeleton and a brain. As long as the activities are still controlled by nerves, Ren Jianmo’s abilities can also have an impact on them.
And “Hunyuanyou Dao” is a kind of super-sensing ability.
It allows Ren Jianmo to suddenly see some scenes that will happen in the near future at a certain moment of uncertainty.
At the beginning, he could only get some fragmentary, sketchy faces that looked like silhouettes, and they happened very close in time—for the first time, he “saw” that end in the Wal-Mart of the “City of Ashes” When he was about to attack his salamander, it was only two seconds earlier.
Later, as his abilities gradually recovered, the images that appeared in Ren Jianmo’s mind became more specific and coherent, sometimes even a complete scene that lasted for a few seconds.
Up to now, Ren Jianmo still cannot control the timing of the launch of “Hunyuan Youdao”.
It will suddenly break into the owner’s mind at any moment without warning, like a clip that the editor has placed in the wrong position.
However, rather than being a kind of predictive ability at this time, it is actually more accurate to say that what Ren Jianmo sees is about to happen at some time in the future. An important turning point—maybe some fatal dangerous moment. Or it may be a life-and-death choice.
In fact, in a sense, Ren Dameiren is the one who holds the spoiler.
A month ago, when they were still in the “world” of the “SCP Containment War”, Ren Jianmo’s “Hunyuan Youdao” was launched again.
He was in the deepest part of the Omega Containment Center, looking down at the Queen Bee hiding in the deep hole through a hole in a wall.
Then without warning, he “sees” a compass.
Or to be more precise, Ren Jianmo’s mind showed a picture of himself reaching out and pulling out a small compass from a pile of wreckage.
At that time, Ren Jianmo didn’t know what the compass was and what its use was.
But the two-second scene turned into a sound as if it were real, echoing clearly and conclusively in the depths of his consciousness.
The voice told him: That is a very important thing, anyway, we must get it.
——It will definitely change your destiny at some time in the future.
Therefore, Ren Jianmo obeyed the instructions of “Hunyuan Youdao” and took the Ji thrush to venture into the Queen Bee’s lair, secretly obtained the compass, and took it back as a collection.” Peach Blossom Spring”.
Later, Ren Jianmo avoided all his comrades and went to the Erdao dealer Yao Wanguan once, and obtained an identification about the compass from him.
It is exactly the SCP323 displayed as “???” on the SCP list, and its name is “The Road Sign of History”.
And more importantly, for such a small and unremarkable compass, the Stork gave it a rating of “SS”.
“Oh, this is the first time I have seen an SS-class collection!”
Afterwards, Yao Wanguan made such a sigh.
The “Beacon of History” is a causal SCP object like the SCP808 Dragon Rope, which cannot be cut as long as a certain condition is fulfilled.
But what this compass affects is really real and can be manipulated at a specific time and space node.
There are two dials of date and time on the “Beacon of History”, which the user can freely turn to set any uncoming moment as a “singularity”.
After setting the “singularity”, for a period of no more than one year, at any time, you can reverse the pointer on the compass until you return to the “singularity”.
Once the compass’s own time-space causality law is established, time will go back to the “singularity” one second.
That is the real, real time reversal.
However, as a causal SCP item that can reshape the history of the plane where it is located, the “Beacon of History” is something that is difficult for mortals to control.
After eradicating Yao Wanguan’s appraisal results, the single-use success rate of the compass was only 30%.
Once the use fails, the “singularity” that has been set will be damaged, and the user will suffer very serious injuries under the huge recoil.
Even if it succeeds, the user will definitely not be better off.
The energy dissipated in time and space can be large or small, and if it is not lucky, it can even crush a person into a ball of meat sauce alive.
When Ren Jianmo learned of the purpose and danger of this little compass, he secretly felt shocked.
It is hard for him to imagine what happened that would make him use the “beacon of history” one day.
This question was held in the bottom of my heart by Ren Jianmo, and even Ji Lu did not disclose it too much.
Finally, he found the answer in “Endless Cause and Effect”.
——Because Ren Jianmo saw the scene where Ji Yu chose to die and jumped down into the clouds.
Although “Hunyuan Youdao” allows Ren Jianmo to see a certain moment in the future in advance, which is enough to affect the key turning point of his destiny, he cannot clearly tell him the cause and effect.
Ren Jianmo didn’t know why Ji Shu had committed suicide, but he was very sure that no matter what the price was paid, he would definitely prevent this from happening.
So he chose to set a “singularity” with the “beacon of history” before entering the maze of “Vatican”.
But this is far from enough.
Ren Jianmo knows the strength of himself and his children very well. Once it is time to use the “beacon of history”, it can only mean that they are already in a state of poverty.
Even if you are lucky to look back in time, if the same situation is repeated, it is difficult to guarantee that the same ending will not be repeated.
Therefore, Ren Jianmo still needs the Moon God Stone.
He wasn’t sure if he could go back in time after using the compass, so Ren Jianmo wanted to try to save Ji Shu’s consciousness in the Moon God Stone and bring it back before entering the maze.
In this way, Ji Xiaoniao can keep the memory of the previous round, which greatly improves the possibility of customs clearance.
After calculating all this, the last thing Ren Jianmo can do is to do everything possible to improve the success rate of the “Beacon of History”.
Thirty percent is too low.
He can’t take the life of Ji Xiaoniao to take risks.
Fortunately, he has another collection related to probability, the pedigree appraisal machine.
This gadget, which looks like a mini gashapon machine, can give the user a corresponding value of luck or bad luck at a certain price. Even a hair or a drop of blood can be used as the so-called “price” at a certain price. Gives a very trivial impression.
But in fact, if the user is willing to pay a sufficient price, the pedigree identification function can have a huge impact far beyond imagination.
Ren Jianmo didn’t know how much it would cost him to reverse time and space and reconstruct the future, which was enough to affect the history of a plane, but he had to do it.
The result of knowing that he can’t do anything but wanting to do so is that he can only give the power of “pricing” to the pedigree appraisal machine.
After sealing Ji Shu’s consciousness in the Moon God Stone, Ren Jianmo took out the mini gashapon machine with a large palm, asked the pedigree appraisal machine to be lucky enough to influence the “Beacon of History”, and then pulled the handle.
The ratio of red beads to blue beads is five to one.
The chance that he can get his wish is far higher than the 30% of the original compass.
Fortunately, the goddess of luck was standing by Ren Jianmo at the critical moment.
He drew red beads.
At this time, most of the five minutes had passed, and Ren Jianmo reversed the compass pointer back to the “singularity” at the last minute.
With the blessing of Xiao Hongzhu, he succeeded.
It’s just that Ren Jianmo at this moment still doesn’t know that the price that needs to be paid for such a lucky day is bound to be extremely heavy.
In order to reverse time and space and look back at the time and time of Ji Tuan, what the pedigree identification machine has to take away is precisely his memory of Ji Tuan, every bit and every drop.
The author has something to say:
The name “Beacon of History” comes from Japanese Manga “Fengshen Yanyi”
