If you become a monster, you will succeed

Feng Xue didn't pay too much attention to the renovation of the 107th floor. She just moved her villa up and replaced it in the same style.

After all, it cares more about the next problem than this trivial place.

The library, secret shop, etc. are already open, but for Feng Xue, this thing is really not easy to use.

Because Feng Xue wanted to know items such as "Lord of the Infinite City", "Lord of the Tower of Babel", "Challenge Details on the 121st Floor", and "The Formation of the Tower of Babel", the answers given by the library NPC were all "Permissions" insufficient."

Thinking about the so-called [obtaining some permissions] before, I am afraid that I really need to complete the 121 challenge to unlock it.

"But if I have even passed the 121 challenge, why do I need this information?"

Rolling his eyes, Feng Xue walked into the secret store. Although it was called so, this thing was actually quite conspicuous on the 107th floor, which had been expanded into a Soviet-style garden by Feng Xue.

"Dear floor leader, what do you need?"

Seeing Feng Xue push the door open, the clerk who looked like a witch in a divination shop was sitting behind a table with all kinds of strange and strange items, and asked politely.

Feng Xue looked at this mystical painting and asked directly:

"What do you have here?"

"The legacy of the old gods, the dreams of the past, the traces of history."

"Can you speak human language?" Feng Xue said with a headache after hearing the other party's Riddler-style response.

"The phantoms left behind by the vanished ghost stories, the remnants of the collapsed world-type ghost stories, and the coordinate items that can accurately anchor a certain world." The clerk explained with persuasion, and Feng Xue nodded. : "Do you have a manifest?"

"The quantity is large. You can put forward your requirements and I will help you search."

The clerk was still polite, but Feng Xue shook her head and said:

"It doesn't matter if it's big, just show me the manifest."

This is not because Feng Xue is deliberately looking for trouble, but because he really doesn't know what to search for.

When the clerk heard what he said, he didn't object anymore. Instead, he took out a terminal similar to a work badge and handed it over. With a swipe of his finger, a very complicated catalog appeared in front of him.

The things on the list are very complicated and confusing.

Even the ruins of a world that covers an area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers, if you spend some time and work hard, you might be able to create a weird world like a working hell.

Down to the accompanying phantoms left behind by unknown ghost stories worshiped by primitive people hundreds of thousands of years ago. Studying them may be able to swallow the last reverberation of its original owner.

There are even some weird real objects such as special-shaped ear picks, wine glasses as big as human heads, and eyeballs carved from stone. They are basically props for anchoring the scene, and they are the only ones that are different from the real objects collected in the garbage dump. The difference is that each one has a clear label on it.

Using the mechanism of the Tower of Babylon, these things are undoubtedly very useful props for high-level ghost stories, but for the current Feng Xue, there is no special need for it yet.

If he really wanted to cultivate Hell, wouldn't it be better for him to go to that supernatural world to get copies than to cultivate it himself?

"Looks like I still have to visit the neighbors." Feng Xue shook his head and left the secret store, all the way to the 114th floor. Here, as long as there is no challenge from the floor leader, the rules prohibiting martial arts are still in effect, so Feng Xue calmly decided Knock on the door of the Japanese manor that looks very defenseless.

Qing Xingdeng was very fast. In just three seconds after knocking on the door, this man, wearing a slightly unconventional blue low-cut kimono, looked at Feng Xue with a rather surprised expression.

After a brief period of confusion, she whispered softly in that ethereal and distant voice, as if she was in a far away place:

"I knew you would come, but I didn't expect you to come so soon. From the look of you, it seems that you have already obtained the qualification of floor leader?"

"It's just good luck." Feng Xue shook her head slightly, but the atmosphere between the two suddenly became awkward. No one seemed to know how to continue.

After a while, Qing Xingdeng moved away from the door, turned half sideways and said:

"Come in and talk, I probably know what you want to ask."

"That would be disrespectful." Feng Xue stepped into the manor. After passing through the Japanese-style courtyard landscaping, which was not too short, she came to a tea room amidst the sound of frightened deer.

Qing Xingdeng waved his hand lightly, and a woman whose face was covered by a white cloth with the word "tea" appeared out of thin air. She knelt down in front of the tea table and began to make tea skillfully.

"The power to create Japanese-style ghost stories?" Feng Xue glanced at the "tea girl" who was just born but had the fire of ghost stories. He knew that this was the other party's display of ability, but he had no intention of following suit and just directly road:

"What can you tell me about the 121st floor challenge?"

"I thought you would talk about other things first." Qing Xingdeng held up the tea cup in a calm tone and took a sip gracefully. Feng Xue did not touch the tea handed by the tea lady, but casually spread her hands and said :

"There is nothing we need to discuss in words. If I can, I will beat you to death directly, but I will exercise restraint until I am sure to do it. I believe you think so too, right? "

"I don't have such terrible thoughts." Qing Xingdeng shook his head and said:

"It's your business if you want to kill me, but since you can't kill me now, let's talk about cooperation."

"How do you want to cooperate?" Feng Xue was noncommittal to Qing Xingdeng's response. Qing Xingdeng did not force Feng Xue to believe it, but simply responded:

"That's what you want to know about the 121st floor."

"Oh, tell me?"

Feng Xue cheered up, and Qing Xingdeng reached out and touched it. All the tea utensils on the tea table disappeared, and the tea lady waiting nearby also disappeared out of thin air. Instead, there was an illusory infinite city sand table.

The towering Tower of Babylon, the expanding residential areas, the four major landfills like cyber cities, and the countless small landfills spread out like a fractal diagram and spread out on the ground.

Feng Xue was no stranger to this picture, but she just didn't quite understand why Qing Xingdeng took it out at this time.

As if he knew what Feng Xue wanted to ask, Qing Xingdeng rested his finger on the top of the Tower of Babel and asked a question——

“Do you know how the Tower of Babylon came to be?”

"The central control computer building of the ultra-modern community Infinite City?" Feng Xue reported the standard answer found in a library in a residential area. When Qing Xingdeng heard this, he shook his head and said:

"You're talking about the shell of the tower."

When Feng Xue heard this statement, he immediately thought of many previous questions in his mind, such as why the Tower of Babel has the ability to actively travel through it, which does not meet the definition of a "garbage dump", such as why there are Michizane Sugawara, Cain, etc. on the Tower of Babel. Seth is a remnant of the old era, and the Tower of Babel is a name that sounds very symbolic.

After going through the previous thoughts in his mind, he frowned and said:

"In other words, the inner shell and the inner shell of this tower are not the same system? Is it a later one? Or is this tower earlier than Infinite City?"

"No, the Tower of Babylon did appear after the emergence of Infinite City, but the process was more tortuous..."

Why can’t I try it out if I can change my identity and become a real person?

This is something you shouldn’t know from the protagonist’s perspective, but there’s no foreshadowing in itself, so let’s just talk about it.

Obtaining "truth" actually does not just require replacing the "identity". If we insist on summarizing, there are probably three conditions.

First, it is sufficient [knowledge].

Second, is the ability to replace identity.

Third, it is the ability to intercept/isolate/shield fate.

Sufficient [knowledge] is very simple. If you want to become a real existence, you must have enough "body".

The bottom line is that the [consciousness] possessed by a real person's digital body after entering the Infinite City (probably the level where the remaining [consciousness] of the body after death can turn into a super-large ghost story), but it can challenge to the hundredth floor. The above ghost stories can basically meet this requirement.

There is nothing to say about the ability to replace identity, it is a hard condition, but in the layer master challenge world, it has this function itself. If you don't take the layer master route, you have to gather the power yourself.

The most troublesome thing is actually the third point, which is about fate.

Because even if you can replace the identity, you cannot completely inherit his fate, otherwise it will not be "you replaced him", but "you became her", so there must be a world where destiny has bugs as the stage.

[Train of Destiny] and [Back Room] are stages that separate people from their destiny. In theory, [Infinite City], [School Hell], and [Working Hell] can also be used.
