Indescribable cyberpunk

That night, Zhu Jue did not go anywhere else, but chose to stay in the tower.

He has so many questions, it's like he has a copy of "One Hundred Thousand Whys" in his head.

Fortunately, Atal, who had drank two cans of moonshine wine, was also quite talkative and no longer shy about certain topics, which gave Zhu Jue an excellent opportunity.

Because the tower was too stuffy and the three-story shrine was destroyed by monsters, the two finally climbed onto a circular platform at the top of the tower.

In the middle is the spire, surrounded by a small platform around the outer edge.

The moon is bright and the stars are few, and the night breeze is cool.

One person moved a wicker chair and lay down on the left and right sides of the tower. Each other couldn't see each other's faces. It was another kind of chat with "people nearby".

"What exactly is the so-called spiritual power or soul ability?"

Holding the dark blue pearl he just got in his hand, Zhu Jue could feel his body, stretched out a finger to fiddle with the ivy leaves next to him, and watched them freeze.

Zhu Jue knew how to use this ability, but he didn't know why he could use it like this, or to what extent he could use it.

This is just like learning to drive. If Zhu Jue's current ability is compared to a car, everyone knows to step on the accelerator and turn the steering wheel, but for beginners, it is limited to this, how to turn, how to reverse, He didn't understand how to turn on the indicator light or how to maximize the car's performance.

Today, five years later, when facing a battle, Zhu Jue still draws his sword and strikes. This is not to say that this method is weak. After all, Zhu Jue's physical strength is indeed very strong.

I just recall the colorful light in the dark night, the terrifying flesh mass in the valley, the indescribable existence that appeared in the sky at that time, the Shoggoths in the ice field, and even the scavenger that I control now.

Power is meaningless to these beings. No matter how fast and powerful Zhu Jue swings his sword, can he cut off light or those fleshy masses that have no fixed form at all?

That is not a one-dimensional thing!

If you want to defeat them, you can only rely on special powers, such as the super-strong magnetic device developed by the Monster Investigation Bureau for the Star Color, and the dozen or so refrigerators deployed for the Scavengers.

However, what Zhu Jue has used most so far is perception and his control of ice and snow.

The perception ability is a reconnaissance ability, and there is nothing to change for the time being. But for the control of ice and snow, all Zhu Jue can do now is to summon a blizzard and freeze certain items like a refrigerator, and then it is gone.

Not to mention the currently weak wind element control. As for this ability, Zhu Jue often just uses it to slow down the impact of his fall.

There is no doubt that they all have great potential, but they are helplessly wasted by Zhu Jue because he simply does not know how to use them better.

Going back to the metaphor above, let’s put it more bluntly: there is no difference between a supercar worth millions and a car worth tens of thousands on the roadside, because in his eyes they are both supported by four wheels. an iron frame

In the real world, Zhu Jue has not found anyone else to answer his questions. Now in the dream world, he feels that he has to find a way to figure these things out.

"knowledge is power."

Just when Zhu Jue fell into a state of self-examination and thinking, Atal's voice, as if he was talking in his sleep, came from the other side.

"Hey, I'm not discussing philosophical issues or famous quotes with you now. Who doesn't know that knowledge is power?"

Zhu Jue, who was annoyed by Atal's sudden interruption, was holding the little face of the wind chime as he spoke. Zhu Jue found that after drinking the water soaked in amber gems, its originally dark golden eyes seemed to be covered. A layer of amber light appeared, and he pinched the soft flesh between its neck and asked softly,

"Any changes in your body?"

Ouch~

The wind chime called out proudly, raised its paws and spread them out. The originally moon-white sharp nails looked like they were coated with amber nail polish. Then they pressed their palms into the stone wall next to them, almost like pressing into a piece of soft tofu. Not much.

"You know, but do you really understand that humans' victory over ferocious beasts depends on their strong bodies?"

Elder Atal on the other side was completely unaware that the wind chimes were demolishing his home, and said to himself,

"No, human beings rely on knowledge. Swords and magic, chariots and castles are just extensions of knowledge. The power you are looking for actually exists in books."

"what book?"

Zhu Jue naturally would not naively think that Atal wanted to become a scholar.

"Nature is a book that contains mysterious power. We have to admit that human beings are always the most good at learning creatures. Where do you think those books came from, human compilations? No, they are just copyists, and indescribable beings have copied them. Knowledge is imparted to their believers, and in order to hold on to these mysterious powers for a long time, the believers choose to record them in the most primitive way, which is why so many special books were produced, such as the "Nakt Codex" and "Kana". "The Testament of Magos" and "The Soul of Chaos". These books all contain powerful power, but hululu~"

Halfway through, he heard snoring, and Zhu Juezheng was listening enthusiastically. There was no reason for him to fall asleep like this, so he quickly summoned a minimal snowstorm to the other side.

"Just what?"

"Hiss~ A sneeze, it's just that that knowledge is not so easy to obtain. Just like human beings inevitably make sacrifices in the process of research and exploration, the result of mortals forcing themselves to read that knowledge will only make themselves fall into endless madness and confusion. , it is more likely to face those terrifying existences in the void at some point. By then, knowledge will not only bring power, but also destruction. Just like the gods at the peak of Kadasi, they actually exist , but do not let anyone know their existence. They are powerful enough to rule the entire world, but they are weak enough to need the protection of foreign gods to survive. And who can guarantee whether there is a more powerful god above those foreign gods? Damn that blind and stupid chaotic existence that knows everything but forgets everything. Sooner or later, I will climb to the top of Kadath and let those gods dance for me. Oh~ I can't think anymore, I need to rest .”

Perhaps it was because he hadn't been able to talk about those things with anyone for a long time. Atal, who opened up his chat box, undoubtedly fell into some kind of logical and word order confusion at the end of the conversation, but the information he inadvertently revealed still benefited Zhu Jue. Very shallow.

"Knowledge is power."

Thinking back to what he had read in "The Book of Dekian", Zhu Jue realized that he should try to read this book in depth.

Is the power waiting for you in it?
