Old-time musicians

Something went terribly wrong?

Fan Ning, who was hiding aside, couldn't help but make some associations in his mind.

Is it the same situation as Qiyuan Shen who went "crazy"?

"A Lord of Witnesses goes crazy because of a personified emotion like 'fear'. This sounds a bit nonsense at first, but if you consider that the things that cause fear are also on the same level as the Lord of Witnesses, and they are even countless in number. , it is quite reasonable." He Meng commented in deep thought.

"There's another problem here."

Mr. Wax closed his eyes as he spoke, as if sensing something.

“It is doubtful whether the promotion of the priestess is what ordinary people understand as ‘destiny’ or ‘opportunity’.”

"Just think about it, under normal circumstances, how could it be possible for the Lords of Witnesses to reach a consensus and support a human being? Until now, the Order Enforcers have not found a way for mortal creatures to pass through the 'Dome Gate'. A very small number of people have adopted the method of 'deception' or 'pay tribute' and have achieved so-called 'success', but there have been varying degrees of problems in the state after time travel. Have these people been promoted to become the true Lord of Witnesses? It is difficult to draw a conclusion, and it is equally difficult to draw a conclusion on the promotion of the priestess of the Noah Dynasty."

Mr. Wax sneered when he said this: "Maybe the Lords of Witnesses who opened the 'Dome Door' for her are just looking for a 'core tool' for a ritual vessel, an altar or a secret ritual. That’s all.”

The few people who were listening just now all lamented "luck" and "opportunity" to varying degrees. Now that they heard this inference full of conspiracy theories, they couldn't help but feel a sense of horror in their hearts.

Yes, the so-called "promotion" of this priestess is just to guard the "worm" door.

She will always be there!

It is difficult to verify whether the process of her promotion to the Lord of Witness was carried out voluntarily, or even with self-knowledge, and what kind of senses she currently exists under. clear!

"The First Worm War resulted in the destruction of the Noah Dynasty, the damage to the Holy City of Janus, and the near-death of the 'Unfallen Fire'. In the end, most of the 'worms' were kept out of the world, but in the end, During the follow-up guarding day after day, the fear of these things gradually drove the priestess crazy."

"At first, He didn't have the consciousness to escape. It was just because of the instability of his state that in the 'no room for error' time after time, he would always make a few mistakes. For example, among billions of worms, there would occasionally be such a small number of mistakes. Dozens or hundreds of them emerged, making the mess after the fall of the Noah Dynasty even worse."

"The Lords of Witness have been correcting these small anomalies, and may have also made some 'reinforcement measures' or 'emergency plans.' Generally speaking, the initial risk is controllable, so in Tulungalia During the dynasty, this 'disintegration field' continued to be used, and the priestess continued to guard it."

"But what they didn't expect was that as time passed, his fear became deeper and deeper, there were more and more anomalies, and the deviations became larger and larger. Later, it reached an almost outrageous level!"

"Even the name of the priestess has changed. It has changed from an unknown name to 'Tongmu'. The phase 'Desolate' she is in charge of has deviated from 'Key', and 'Cocoon' has deviated from 'Pool'." The colors of the double gate gradually turned into another set of colors, and the "disintegration field" could no longer be repaired, which later led to the second worm war."

The Second Worm War? There were two "worm tides" in the third history? Fanning perked up his ears.

Following this time logic, the first Worm War is related to the secret of the destruction of the Noah Dynasty, and the second Worm War is likely to be related to the destruction of the Tulungalia Dynasty.

This is likely to allow him to learn the specific details of the origins of the seven source gods, as well as the related secret histories inherited by the major forces in the New Era.

However, Mr. Wax did not extend this topic - perhaps the other two people knew this already - and they returned to the topic of the priestess "Tongmu".

"He began to frantically want to escape from the position of guarding the 'Worm', but the Lords of Witnesses have helped you. How can you say that if you don't keep it, you won't keep it? Some kind of invisible restriction from the level of secret history separates it from the 'Disintegration Field' He is firmly tied to the identity of the 'Guardian'! He guards the gate, and the gate also guards Him. You cannot escape if you want to."

"Unless there is someone who can replace him?" He Meng and Gang said in unison.

After sorting out the ins and outs, they finally discovered the crux of the problem.

"Yes, He thinks so." Mr. Wax's voice was a bit eerie. "For more than 2,500 years from the Third History to the New Era, 'Tongmu' fell into a state of fear and madness. Constantly running away from 'worms' and constantly looking for 'replacers'!"

Hearing this, Fan Ning finally confirmed some details from the past: for example, why Joan accidentally broke into the "lysis field" when she was promoted for the first time in "this life", such as when she was investigating St. Arternes Hospital. , why after the hunters were bitten to death and they subdued the snakes, a metaphorical scene similar to the "disintegration field" was formed.

There are not that many pure coincidences in the world.

"However, the high-level secret history restrictions are not so easy to 'fool over'. He tried many methods to let others replace him, but he could not really escape completely," Mr. Wax continued.

“For example, at first, He found some people who were called ‘discolored people’ in the Southern Continent.”

"The spirituality of this type of people partly matches the characteristics of the 'Watcher', but it does not completely match it. In general, the spirituality is too weak. He tried to gather as many numbers as possible, but it did not meet the expectations - Drill Point Limitation It's a mistake, it's okay to 'go slow' occasionally, but it's impossible to escape."

"Later, His consciousness began to continuously transmit revelations to the Holy Wound Society, so a family of violin makers appeared in this secret organization, and the dreams of violin makers from several continents began to have some strange similarities."

"These famous pianos have profound wounds and play a pivotal role in the 'liminal space'. They can be regarded as 'substitute guards' for the time being, but the effect is still not ideal."

"Under the constant passive evasion and attempts of 'Mother Tong', before his consciousness collapsed, the 'disintegration field' could no longer hold on. Moreover, thousands of years later, the group of people who had promoted him to the HOS As the Lord of Witnesses, the disputes between each other have evolved, the situation has also undergone major changes, and the binding force on Him is no longer so strong.”

"So several witnesses reached a new cooperation around the 4th century of the New Calendar."

"This cooperation is not 'looking for a replacement' in the strict sense. These witnesses are not out of any good intentions. Their purpose is very simple, so that the 'Tong Mother' can continue to guard the door it should guard. Of course, the effect of this cooperation is indeed the best. If we evaluate it quantitatively, it has at least shared more than 50% of the fears of 'Tongmu'."

"Poet Fanghui!?" He Meng and Gang said in unison again.

The answer to what exactly happened in this cooperation is self-evident.

Fan Ning on the side also felt that all the doubts about his secret past had been cleared up and connected!

"Yes, under their guidance on the historical process, Saint Apollo, the fourth generation light-brother of the Holy Sun Church, held a 'concert competition' with Macias, the flute player of the original southern continent. In fact, This is a promotion ceremony organized by the witnesses of the competition!"

"The 'Dome Door' is an old wound at the highest point of the Hui Tower. It was originally unopenable and should not be opened, but it was opened again. Another Origin God was born."

"Macias was promoted to the 'Fragrance Poet', and the Southern Continent entered a 'midsummer dream', and the field of fox lilies as a bandage for his wounds became the crumbling 'back rooms' in the original 'liminal space' A powerful patch has been applied!”

"But it should be noted that the source of true knowledge used in the promotion ceremony that year was the remains of the source god at the end of the Tulungalia Dynasty - the 'Red Pond'!"

"This may have been the optimal solution at the time, but it still laid a hidden danger for the Divine Advent Society to find loopholes and adopt unknown means to activate the true knowledge of the 'Red Pond' and re-infect the 'Fanghui Poet'!"

"It seems that the leader's description of the members of the Divine Advent Society as 'Worm Faction' people is very accurate." He Meng commented, "These people complain about the nature of all things and believe that the world is a defective product that will collapse sooner or later. It is better to be destroyed sooner." The worms are full of people, so their motivations are as frivolous and chaotic as the worms. Going against the rules and order is really a serious problem for my Special Patrol Office. "

A trace of "ungrateful" sneer appeared on Gang's face: "Mr. Pogorelic has been working hard all day to solve these troubles. Not only are those official organizations and people ungrateful, they also have complaints against our office."

"The leader never expected these narrow-minded people to accomplish anything." He Meng nodded, then looked around and relisted the relevant secret history in his mind.

"Looking at it now, the changes that the 'Cracking Field' has experienced along the way include but are not limited to the impact of the two worm wars, the fear and evasion consciousness of the 'Tong Mother', the abnormal corrections of the Lords of Witnesses, and the transformation of various replacements. In order to allow the originally designed 'liminal space' to maintain its function of guarding 'worms', such as the deviation, the covering of the fox lily field, etc., it has been added and deleted beyond recognition. It is no longer clear which occult structures are useless. Which ones are critical, and what are the causal relationships between them that work or don’t work?”

Just like the "ancestral code" of programmers in previous generations. Fan Ning's secret evaluation in his heart was more accurate.

At this point in the interpretation of the secret history, the deep-seated causes of the "meat-sacrifice" incident have been revealed.

Mr. F used the pleasure listening session to bring back "Hongchi" who had been stripped of her true knowledge. This is only one aspect. In addition, "Tongmu" herself hopes that the Southern Dream will collapse! Although the bandage patch of "Fanghui Poet" shared half of his fear, it also became a kind of restraint, cutting off his hope of completely escaping.

What he was obsessed with, driven into madness and fear, was someone who could completely replace him!

He Meng held the cane stationed in the pool tightly: "So the twin girls we are searching for this time are because they have achieved the phase reversal of 'Desolation to Key, Cocoon to Pond', so they were chosen as 'Tongmu'" Conscious judgment for a 'qualified person'?"

"To be precise, the mysterious path they took along is just a 'mirror image'." Mr. Wax said.

"Mirror image?" Several people were puzzled.

"It can be understood as 'projection'. Otherwise, why do you think mortal creatures can change their climbing path?" Mr. Wax still closed his eyes and shook his head with a smile, "The path you can walk on is just a high place. The wounds that the Lords of Witness have made in history are mostly achieved by recreating a 'mirror image' to pay homage to the secret history.

"The same goes for the secret history of the deviation of the true knowledge phase of 'Tongmu'. It has been entangled with people who may be entangled later. According to incomplete research, in the events of later generations, there is a 'mirror image' that is entangled with this secret history. 'There are at least no fewer than ten cases.'

"Wait a minute." Gang suddenly realized an inexplicable and strange fact: "Why is it that among the two Insights present today, the phase I am studying is also 'Desolate', and He Meng is also 'Cocoon'?"

""

They were silent for a while, and then He Meng said: "Don't think too much, take the twin girls back first. If the people from the Divine Advent Society get there first, things will be in trouble."

After the illusion of the southern continent dissipated and the fox lily field withered, the ‘disintegration field’ reached the limit of disintegration.

The current "water accumulation" situation is actually the result of the overflow of the "pool core" put into quenching.

This has never happened before.

"The main thing now is to find their location first." Gang frowned and said, "The structure of this dream is too complicated. In order to prevent repeated detours without knowing it, I wonder if we should leave some spiritual markers along the way."

"No need." Mr. Wax suddenly opened his eyes.

The last paper boat that he had been holding in his hand burst out with pale flames!

"Um?"

Fan Ning, who houses the remains of the "Red Pond", has always maintained a "relatively friendly" connection with the water.

He suddenly felt vaguely that the paper boats that were originally drifting and scattered in various pools of water began to move in an orderly manner in several specific directions!

“Everything I said just now was essentially ‘leaking secrets’.”

Ashes and dust floated up and down around Mr. Wax's wheelchair, making the whole scene appear profound and strange.

"The flow of implicit knowledge always follows this direction: from high level to low level, from the majority to the minority, from representation to will. Going in the opposite direction always requires paying different prices."

The orderer rested his head on the headrest of the wheelchair, repeated the content of the "Law of Implicit Knowledge Transmission", and then smiled:

"The Secret History is the core and source of hidden knowledge, and now, I have talked about forbidden things within the scope of the entire 'Cracking Field', and I have paid the high price of their reverse flow with my own divinity."

"So, let me see where they are known to go!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Fan Ning immediately felt that the paper boats floating on the water suddenly seemed to be splitting more out of thin air!

The original number of twenty or thirty birds suddenly increased to hundreds or hundreds.

Then, there was a long row of paper boats, swinging through the corridor under the eyes of the three people.

Astonishingly, they floated back to the pool where several people are currently!
