To Four Thousand Years Later

The sound of depressurization when several huge machines shut down gradually sounded.

In a completely dark room, pure white lights are also lit up one by one.

Following the sudden sense of weightlessness, Forty, who was sitting in the void like a baby with his knees hugged, slightly nodded his head, and then opened his eyes. The bright fire flashed away in his pure black eyes [Main quests have been updated one by one]

"That name...

If he heard correctly just now, the other shore's names for the two evil gods should be "necessary evil" and "agnosticism".

But he remembered clearly that the name Yastaru told him before was "Knowledge".

There is a big gap between "knowable" and "agnostic". All the previous forty-two speculations about the ability to know the theory were based on his name and Yastaru's narration. However, the other side unconsciously threw a new question to Forty-Two: 1. What is the real name and ability of the most dangerous evil **** in the world? Forty-two believes that neither the other side nor Yastaru will deceive themselves maliciously. And similarly, neither of these two people can remember anything wrong, and the information channels are very wide. So, either they were signaling to Forty-Two that one of the names was wrong. Either it means that both names are right, or both are wrong.

After thinking about it for a while, Forty-two seemed to realize something.

He finally understood... why those people who were polluted in the subway station didn't try their best to tell their surroundings or on the Internet everything about Knowledge. Because this ability itself is false. Or rather, a "metaphor"

The word "knowledge" itself refers to a philosophical theory. It advocates that "everything is knowable", that is, everything is knowable.

According to Yastaru, any existence that knows the specific information of "Knowledge" cannot cause him any harm. But the sentence itself is problematic. And the prerequisite for this judgment is at least "acknowledging the theory of knowledge".

if we assume. If that evil god's name came from that...then the reverse should also be true.

If a person who admits gnosticism will put himself in the hunting range of "evil **** gnosticism". So, what if the real name of this evil **** is Agnosticism?

An agnostic is someone who is skeptical of religion but rejects atheism—that is, they believe in the existence of some great spiritual entity but disagree with existing religious interpretations of "God." If you push it backwards, anyone who believes that there is some kind of "fate", "God" or "truth" in the world can't do harm to "agnosticism". I dare not say its name... But the other shore has had close contact with agnosticism, but the reason why it has not been targeted can be explained.

The other side didn't even realize it. Agnosticism is far more powerful than a "necessary evil". And what is the biggest difference between the other shore, Demon God and Forty-two?

- He has no feelings. He is merely a psionic being imitating human emotions, a non-carbon-based being that thinks in a "machine"-like way. And this determines that the other shore cannot understand things beyond his own cognition. This is also the reason forty-two reprimanded him just now. Considering the two possibilities together, Forty-two is more inclined to the latter, because the fact that Yastaru told Forty-two about the knowledge theory will bring him a lot of harm.

For Yastaru, her love, trust and protective desire for Forty-two are extremely strong. Forty-two didn't see any special emotions in her eyes... only trust and a touch of worry.

In other words, she must have thought it would be better for Forty-Two.

But why didn't she dare to tell Forty-Two the truth, or even say that name? She even told Forty-Two not to think too much, and just ordered the mortals under him, such as Chang Xiyi, to live and kill people. unless. The real deadly link. It's not about "those who possess knowledge go to attack the knowledge theory", but in the "explaining" link. It was the moment when the truth was spoken—"Your conjecture is completely correct, my lord. At this moment, Baymon's cold voice rang in Forty-Two's ears.

The next moment, the real world in front of Forty-two suddenly shattered and disintegrated, losing his color. Countless transparent fragments like fish scales floated in the air. Gathering in front of Forty-Two, roughly pieced together into a blue translucent polygonal crystal. As Baimon's voice sounded, the translucent polygonal crystal was also vibrating at the same frequency: "You finally guessed it yourself. Baimon was very relieved, and his voice was much lighter.

...Looks like I guessed more than half of it right.

Forty-two raised his eyelids, and said affirmatively: "You really are hinting at me, guiding me.

"yes."

"You also know that if Yastaru told me about Knowledge, I would definitely go back and think about it and investigate. You must have known about this, but you didn't step forward to stop it, because thinking is a good thing for me.

"Exactly. Forty-two suddenly realized: "And you made a special trip to ask Yastaru to come and tell me. Not to make me believe it, but to make me doubt it.

"Because you told me before that your current body is artificial intelligence, and the intelligence network covers the world. So if you told me this, no matter how unbelievable it is, I will definitely believe it.

A voice very similar to that of Forty-Two resounded in the crystal: "Your trust in us is actually an obstacle.

"So, it's all right now?" Baimon breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "Your speculation is completely correct. The real name of this evil god" is indeed "agnosticism". Even in the records of the five ancient gods Among them, Xiu belongs to the most dangerous level. He is the trapper of the elementary spiritual civilization. All spiritual civilizations that can cross the curtain must have experienced it, or have escaped, or are still entangled in "agnosticism".

"He has destroyed tens of thousands of psychic civilizations so far. Therefore, he has another name called the Enemy of the Missionary Land'

"His ability is that anyone who believes in 'Absolute Truth' will constantly be stuffed with new information about 'Absolute Truth', Destiny, 'God', Creator God' and other things, and everything about these things Knowledge will form an information bomb "as long as this piece of knowledge containing" agnosticism flows. That is, the process of missionary work has occurred. Then there will be two effects: If the person being preached also believes in those mysterious and mysterious things, he will Will become the holder of the next information bomb. And if the person downstream of the knowledge chain is an agnostic, then he will be bombarded by this information...

Before Baimen's voice fell, Forty-Two suddenly felt an extremely severe pain on his forehead, which quickly spread to his whole body. The pain even made him cry out, his pupils turned red and his nails almost clenched into his flesh. He felt his body disintegrate and melt rapidly... as if his whole body was about to turn into a puddle of water. It was the second time in Forty-Two's life that he had cried out of sheer pain.

After more than thirty seconds, Forty-two let go of his hand dripping with sweat.

His spiritual energy quickly repaired many minor injuries in his body, and Baimeng remained silent at this time, without opening his mouth. It wasn't until Forty calmed down again that Baimon's voice sounded: It's like this, and those who are killed will be forgotten by all those who communicated with him. You already guessed a lot about him by yourself, so the first information bombardment didn't kill you instantly.

At the same time Baimon's voice fell, Forty-two felt a sharp pain again. But this time it was much lighter than last time.

...What a terrible evil god.

After calming down again, Forty-Two's voice was a little hoarse: "Indeed...compared to it, all the previous evil gods are so close and cute." Even Forty-Two still has lingering fears about that subduing power.

That power is not physical, or even psionic.

Forty tried his best to use his powerful spiritual energy to restrain his body from collapsing into a puddle. Water... If he was an ordinary person, he might have melted, disintegrated, and completely disappeared from the world the moment he finished listening.

If there is no existence of me, then its invasion means the demise of all gnostics. Forty-two was silent for a long time, and asked again after the body was healed: "Then what happens after? After all the gnostics are eliminated? Will their consciousness be taken away?"

"No, after that... there is no after.

Baimon replied: "Except for those rare people who are naturally enlightened, they will be able to be awakened in an instant." The only difference is that all survivors lack a certain kind of thought. But they don't even realize the existence of gnosticism, and they can't remember what they are missing. I don't even know what I have experienced and what I have been infected by. Because the moment they think of it or guess it, it will turn into dust.

"Agnosticism doesn't need any believers, and it doesn't have thousands of tentacles like Agnosticism as Yastaru described to you. Yes, Agnosticism does exist. We don't know if he has any. Appeared in this world. But his harm and danger are relatively less than agnosticism... After Forty-Two calmed down from the violent trembling again, Baimon continued: "And even if you know now After everything, I still have to pretend that I don't know anything. Never explain to your team. Just pretend that the enemy is knowable." Although there is a big difference in ability, from the perspective of strategy, there is not much difference between the two.
