Gun Kai
Chapter 384 Secret Two
‘The Lord of Blue Dream Mountain found a way to escape the blind spot from this book, so what about me?’
He asked himself this.
He already understood what the blind spot was.
It was just, how to escape from it...
The Book of Distortion might also record the history of the Sunken Clan, but he was no longer interested in that at this moment.
The secret of the blind spot told him the secret of its formation, but he still couldn't find a way to leave it completely.
Carrying the Book of Distortion, Li Cheng颐 looked up at Xindela.
But found the other party looking at him with a horrified expression.
Li Cheng颐 instantly reacted, looked down, and realized that his skin was already covered with wrinkles at some unknown time.
The originally strong and full muscles were now like withered jerky, dry, hard, and fragile.
“I…” He opened his mouth to speak, but felt an unusual stinging pain in his throat, as if his throat was completely stuck together, unable to open.
Just then, one of the crescent moons on his chest suddenly disappeared.
Chi.
Li Cheng颐 trembled violently, opening his eyes drenched in sweat.
His head was throbbing with pain, and he looked at his hands again, only to realize that everything just now seemed to be an illusion, and his hands were still strong, healthy, and resilient.
“Just now…” He looked at the astonished Xindela opposite him, “What did you see?”
“I saw you suddenly become very old, and a lot of black particles began to fly around your body, but soon, one of your crescent moons disappeared. Everything was completely restored.” Xindela said solemnly, “Xiao Yi… You… Could it be…”
Li Cheng颐 looked at the Book of Distortion in his hand.
He looked down at his right clavicle, and sure enough, one of the deep blue crescent moons there was missing.
A creepy sense of crisis instantly surged into his heart.
“Yes, I died once.” Li Cheng颐's scalp tingled, he didn't even know how he died.
Just looking at this so-called Book of Distortion actually made him, as he is now, suddenly die once!?
The crescent moons had the function of taking his place in death, which everyone in the team had already confirmed.
Li Cheng颐 always felt that he might not need this so-called crescent moon ability, but he didn't expect to suddenly consume one here.
“This book must be sealed and no one is allowed to approach it.” Li Cheng颐 quickly handed the Book of Distortion to Xindela.
“Yeah. I'll take care of it.” Xindela also understood the danger of this book, her expression solemn.
“But I also understood the cause and process of the formation of the blind spot from here.” Li Cheng颐 began to explain everything he saw to Xindela.
But strangely, at this moment, he suddenly lost his voice.
He couldn't make a sound, and the content he wanted to say just now was suddenly forgotten at this moment.
Regarding the cause of the blind spot, he could only watch Xindela, but couldn't say a word.
“Don't force it.” Xindela frowned, seemingly seeing the clue.
“There is a kind of inexplicable restriction that does not allow me to say these things…” Li Cheng颐 explained.
“Then, is there any clue about Lien?” Xindela was silent for a while and asked, changing the subject.
“No…” Li Cheng颐 shook his head.
The light in Xindela's eyes dimmed.
“It's okay… As long as we keep investigating like this, we will find him one day.”
Li Cheng颐 sighed in his heart.
‘Blind spot… is a mistake… then what about the blind spot people? Are they also inevitable mistakes? Are they also parts that must be excluded and eliminated?’
Understanding the cause of the blind spot, Li Cheng颐 became even more confused.
After saying goodbye to Xindela at the company headquarters and going back to rest for one night.
After checking that there were no problems with his body, he went straight to Iselin's corpse maintenance place as agreed.
By touching the corpse, he came to Iselin's exclusive blind spot—Clenched Hands—once again.
Dark red light shone in from the side window of the library, dyeing everything blood red.
Iselin was wearing a black waist-cinching dress, the hem wrapped in white纱 (sha - gauze), forming delicate wavy edges.
A jet-black butterfly ribbon was tied on her golden hair.
She looked cold and pure.
Seeing Li Cheng颐 coming in, she was very happy. She took the initiative to come up and hold his hand.
“Iselin, I'm here to fulfill the agreement and meet your teacher.” Li Cheng颐 had always had a strong curiosity about this mysterious teacher.
Maybe he could also take this opportunity to ask him how to get rid of the blind spot.
“The teacher has been free these days, probably waiting for you. He is also very curious about 死能 (si neng - death energy), and said that this is a powerful civilization that existed many years ago. The power system left behind. It is very valuable for his research.” Iselin smiled.
“Let's go, we can go directly to the teacher's study from here.” She knew the way very well, and pulled Li Cheng颐 to the wooden door at the only exit of the reading room.
The dark red wooden door surface was engraved with patterns such as pagodas, flying eagles, flowers, and thorns.
A string of gray copper bells was also hung on the reddish-brown handle.
“The teacher is one of the leaders of the believers. His name cannot be pronounced according to our human vocal organs, so for the convenience of calling him, he gave himself a human name, called Miman.” Iselin instructed, “Then, you can directly call him Professor Miman. He feels that what he does and lives is similar to many professors of us humans, so he recognizes this title.”
“Understood.” Li Cheng颐 nodded.
“Ready?”
“Open the door.”
The two paused, and then Iselin grabbed the doorknob and twisted it hard.
Ka-cha.
The wooden door slowly opened a crack outward.
Countless dazzling gray lights bloomed from the crack.
Fortunately, the gray light did not last long, and soon dimmed, revealing the scenery outside the door.
Outside, there was a square, enclosed room with dark red bookshelves standing around it.
The four walls of the room were four bookshelves.
The redwood bookshelves were filled with countless books, big and small, thick and thin, with various texts and characters.
The bookshelves on the four walls stretched upwards, into the darkness that could not be seen to the end, and I don't know how high.
In a corner of this study, there was also a set of tables and chairs.
A vague figure wearing a deep blue gold-rimmed斗篷 (dou peng - cape) was sitting quietly on the chair, reading a book in front of him by the black desk lamp.
“You're here?” The figure raised his head, revealing a vague gray face.
The face had no facial features, only a pair of bright and piercing blood-red eyes.
“Thanks to Professor Miman's help last time, I was able to safely escape from the Black Sea. Thank you very much for your rescue.” Li Cheng颐 took a step forward and bowed solemnly to the other party.
Unexpectedly, he also used Black Sea language.
Iselin and Miman were both slightly surprised, but quickly recovered.
“Your grammar… is a bit strange, it should be the pronunciation format of many years ago… But it doesn't matter, the essence of Black Sea language is流通 (liutong - circulation), whether it is ancient or modern, there will be no communication barriers.” A hint of smile appeared in Professor Miman's eyes.
“My brother said he didn't know Black Sea language before he came?” Iselin was a little unhappy that she had been deceived.
“Actually, I'm not sure if what I said is right, so I said I didn't know it.” Li Cheng颐 reached out and rubbed her golden hair, comforting her.
“This is just a small matter… Let's chat…” Professor Miman stretched out a finger, and suddenly the藤蔓 (tengman - vine) pattern on the red carpet behind the two quickly grew red roots, the roots pierced the carpet and weaved into two plant seats.
In just two seconds, two red high-backed chairs more than one meter high were woven.
Iselin skillfully sat down, and Li Cheng颐 also thanked him and sat down.
“The previous help was because Iselin paid the price and asked me to take action. This matter has been concluded, so don't mention it again.
And now, I hope to get a part of the 死能 (si neng - death energy) from you as research material. As the other party in an equal exchange, you can propose what you want. As long as I have it, I will consider it.” Miman said bluntly.
“Iselin's price??”
“It's just a small matter, it doesn't affect it at all, don't worry.” Iselin replied.
Li Cheng颐 frowned, glanced at Iselin, but seeing her shaking her head and not wanting to say it, he didn't ask any more questions.
“死能 (Si Neng - Death Energy)… Can't you also extract it yourself?” He was a little strange.
“No.” Miman shook his head, “Power is repulsive. 死能 (Si Neng - Death Energy) is a special power that can only be captured between life and death. It is easier to master only in special environments. And now… that environment has disappeared. I've been there once, and it's completely destroyed and gone.”
“…” Li Cheng頤's heart stagnated. He didn't believe that the other party hadn't discovered it before, it was probably because he didn't dare to go at all…
“Even so, with your ability, it is impossible not to find 死能 (Si Neng - Death Energy) that can be studied, right?”
“That's right.” Miman nodded, “But I heard that you also found a lot of spells about the use of 死能 (Si Neng - Death Energy) there?”
“There is a little bit, but not much.”
“What conditions do you want to trade this part of the knowledge?” Miman asked.
“How much does the professor know about blind spots?” Li Cheng颐 suddenly changed the subject.
“Blind spots… that is knowledge belonging to outside the non-gate. Acquisition requires paying a price, and knowledge outside the non-gate is generally called taboo knowledge. This type of knowledge cannot be taught or recorded, and has strong uniqueness.”
“Taboo knowledge?” Li Cheng颐 seemed to understand why he couldn't explain everything he saw to Xindela.
“I know what you want to ask.” Miman smiled, “You want to ask how to completely get rid of the blind spot, right?”
“You guessed right.” Li Cheng颐 nodded seriously.
“Then, are you ready to pay the price?” The smile in Miman's eyes faded.
“What kind of price? Can I know it in advance?” Li Cheng颐's heart tightened, and he asked quickly.
“Information itself represents change. Some information will bring huge changes, and rashly changing reality will inevitably bring huge feedback. I don't know what price you will pay, but this is the condition of taboo knowledge.” Miman looked at Li Cheng颐 carefully. “However, you seem to have only recently entered the field of taboo knowledge and paid the price. Learning a little more should not have a big impact…”
Listening to the professor's uncertain tone, Li Cheng颐 always felt a little hairy in his heart.
But since he was here, he had to understand the answer to this question.
Compared with the engraved materials, getting rid of the blind spot was his core purpose.
“It's okay, please tell me!” He still had two crescent moons, and he didn't believe he couldn't handle it!
Miman glanced at him, seeming to notice the crescent moons on his clavicle.
“Okay… According to the principle of equivalent exchange, I can't tell you the principle, and you probably won't understand it if I say it. But I can tell you the method.”
“What method?”
“Go find it.” Miman said in a low voice, “Look for the right one.”
What does it mean?
Li Cheng颐 looked confused.
“Can you put it more simply?” He seemed to have a vague guess.
“Simply put, you blind spot people are inherently errors that need to be excluded. You are destined to be forgotten by history and turn into dust. But this only represents a possibility.”
Miman said.
“In countless blind spots, there is always a space-time where you don't have to become blind spot people. Find it. The method to get rid of the blind spot is there.”
“That blind spot may be dangerous, or safe, or mysterious, or barren, or even destroyed long ago. But for you, it is unique. Find it and guide it back to the correct path. This is what you have to do.”
“I seem to understand…” Li Cheng颐 took a deep breath, “A simple analogy is that we blind spot people are dust abandoned by the world. It's not so much that the blind spot is pulling us, but that the world has abandoned us?”
“You can say that.” Miman nodded, “In reality, you are not needed, but in some matching blind spots, you are the most important one. Find it and guide it to the right direction, and you can completely get rid of the entanglement of the blind spot.”
“Like Iselin?”
“Like Iselin.”
