Chapter 173 The Artifact of God and Yuan Ximu’s Live Broadcast Room

What is a "God-containing weapon"?

Lin Huai'en once asked Xu Qin this question.

Xu Qin’s answer at that time was——

"The so-called 'God-containing weapon' is the 'shell' of your and my soul."

At that time, Xu Qin was in the last semester of her senior year and looked confused and exhausted.

But she still tried hard to answer Lin Huaien's question.

"You know 'transcendentalism', right? Transcendentalists believe that our minds are above our bodies and desires, controlling them like puppets on strings——"

"But it seems to me that our minds don't so much 'rule' our bodies -"

"Rather, it's the shell of our souls."

She sat on the chair and silently played with the watch that Lin Huai'en gave her on her birthday last year.

"Each of us is no different from a beast when we are born, naked and with a naked heart."

"Our thoughts, hearts, and desires are completely exposed to the air. As we grow older, acquire concepts, and absorb knowledge, we cover our hearts with layers of shells."

"These shells, some delicate, some rough, have no connection with each other, but they protect our fragile hearts and isolate our vulnerable hearts from this cold world."

"But... this alone is not enough..."

Xu Qin shook his head gently: "If you just close your heart, you will lose the ability to communicate with the outside world and become stubborn, self-centered, and difficult to communicate."

"So, in order to let our own hearts emerge again from the hard shell that is heavily wrapped, we must sort out the 'shell'. And the tools for combing are the things we have been talking about all along -"

"Philosophy, and the Doctrine of Thought."

"When we use 'philosophy', that is, 'cognition of cognition,' to reconstruct the way we understand the world, the shell that surrounds our souls is dissolved and transformed into an organic whole. "

"This spiritual organism is the 'vessel that contains God'."

Xu Qin raised the pocket watch in his hand, raised it high above his head, then showed it to Lin Huai'en, and slowly drew a huge circle -

"When the 'God Container' is completed, it will help us filter out the important and orderly information from the complex and disorderly world, and at the same time isolate the malicious and harmful information from the container. "

"If the 'Heart Shell' is a steel shell that isolates all information, good or bad, in its own way. Then the 'Storm of God' is a gorgeous one that blooms with beautiful brilliance. Balls of light, although everyone's 'god-bearing weapon' is different, their construction shows the personality and light of thought of the builder. And as time goes by, these help us understand the world, The 'shell of thought' that understands the world will become larger and larger, and eventually it will completely cover our entire selves——"

"And these are the true inner faces of those great people who are known as 'heroes' and 'saints'."

In Xu Qin's slowly expanding embrace, Lin Huai'en vaguely saw a huge, dazzling 'shell of thought'. This 'shell of thought' covered his body and mind, making them invincible. Shaking, extremely solid.

.

A few days later, Lin Huaien looked at Li Muen in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

He didn't expect that he would end up here.

He looked outside the barrier, where Katarina had closed the duel space with a cold look on her face, and stretched out a hand to Li Muen——

"Don't tell me that Catalina promised you that as long as you can kill me for her, you will use the power of Yomo City to transfer your sister to the best hospital?"

Li Muen was obviously stunned for a moment: "How did you know?"

Lin Huai'en looked at the young man in white in front of him, a little speechless.

However, in order to clear up the doubts in his heart, he continued to ask Li Muen:

"Just in case, let me ask you one more thing—"

"Have you ever thought about how your employer will be affected after killing me?"

Li Muen's expression froze slightly, and then revealed a trace of strong anger——

"I can't control that much anymore! I can do anything for my sister!"

You can indeed do anything...but you can't be without a brain...

Steel Shell-san...

Lin Huai'en patted his neck, sighed, called out the [External Brain], and put it into his neck.

"You do it."

After feeling slight numbness and pleasure, he looked at Li Muen and smiled:

"Watch how I kill you."

.

Lin Huaien is not the Lin Huaien of Windrunner, but he is still Lin Huaien.

The Li Muen who is not Windrunner is no longer Li Muen.

Compared with putting the [External Brain] on the Light-Taking Fairy, Lin Huai'en put the [External Brain] on himself, which is naturally much weaker.

In addition, during this period of time, he had no chance to level up at all - as a Windrunner, he had to do much more busy things than being the bodyguard of "Sunset Xixue".

Therefore, he fought Li Muen with almost 80% of his strength in the first duel.

Unfortunately, compared to Lin Huaien, Li Muen's strength has declined even more.

Captured by Lin Huaien's momentum, Li Muen was killed by Lin Huaien before he could even exert his due strength.

He didn't even use the magic sword skill "Nine Thunder Slash" before Lin Huai'en caught the loophole in [Cone of Heaven] and stabbed him in the heart with a sword——

"For the [Sword Theory] skill, the same move cannot be used twice..."

Looking at Li Muen's body on the ground, Lin Huaien sighed, turned his hands away, and looked at Catalina outside the barrier.

The blond female commander gave him a gloomy look, turned and left.

This surprised Lin Huai'en slightly.

But if you think about it, you will know that after Lin Huai'en rejected her invitation, she had lost the meaning of continuing to stay in "Windrunner". Taking advantage of this opportunity to leave was the best choice.

On the other hand, the side of "Sunset Xixue" is a bit pitiful...

Lin Huai'en glanced at Yuan Ximu subconsciously.

But he found that the girl was looking at him, with the monocle used to share the light-taking fairy lens hanging on her eyes.

As for Li Muen's death in battle, she appeared unmoved.

.

Lin Huai'en didn't know why Yuan Ximu showed such an expression.

In the following days, there were more than a dozen security personnel around him, and as Li Muen's employer, Yuan Ximu was even less likely to approach him under such circumstances.

Then, under such circumstances, he once again ushered in the completion day of filming.

.

"Damn it! Still not okay?!"

Lin Huai'en looked at the bright tree-centered garden and couldn't help but hammer the vine wall next to him.

This time, he left the Windrunner camp without hesitation and headed towards the "Morning Forest".

As a result, he had just reached the entrance of the tree garden and found that he was lost.

"Are you awake too?"

At this time, he suddenly heard a faint sigh from behind.

He turned around suddenly and saw Yuan Ximu's figure.

This time, she still held the light-taking elf in her hand, looked at Lin Huai'en with a complicated expression, and walked towards him unsteadily——

"I'm so tired...let me rest for a while."

The girl fell into Lin Huaien's arms and passed out.

.

By the time she woke up again, it was already night.

Lin Huai'en did not take Yuan Ximu back to the crew, but found a goddess camp and pitched a tent.

After sleeping for four hours, Yuan Ximu finally woke up. While holding the rice porridge that Lin Huai'en cooked for her, she looked at Lin Huai'en with a complex expression: "I didn't expect that you could still wake up after leaving me. "

"Left you? Have I been sober before?"

Lin Huaien quickly understood what the girl meant from her words.

"Yes." Yuan Ximu took a sip of the rice porridge in her hand: "There was a time when I would tell you about reincarnation, but once reincarnation starts again, you will lose your memory, so over time, I stopped continuing. Tell you what happened."

"Is that so..." Lin Huai'en thought and nodded, but he still had doubts about some things: "Then why do you keep your memory?"

"I will also lose my memory." However, Yuan Ximu gave Lin Huai'en an unexpected answer:

"However, every time I lose my memory, I always find time to live broadcast. So, every time I open the live broadcast room, the viewers in the live broadcast room will send me a prepared summary of the events and the current situation."

"After reading these summaries, even if I don't believe it, I will realize that what they say is true after surviving the second reincarnation."

Yuan Ximu stood up unsteadily: "Every night when the 23rd of the reincarnation comes, there will be a strong sense of sleepiness. Even I can only get through that period of time almost hazily, almost in a In the blink of an eye, it’s day 3.”

"Every time I go through reincarnation, I will become more sleepy. After about five times, I will fall asleep and start the next restart. According to the comments, this is my 17th reincarnation. Several times I lost consciousness before I could survive the fifth reincarnation..."

Looking at Yuan Ximu like this, Lin Huaien suddenly realized something: "So after the last reincarnation ended, you found me and confirmed the relevant situation with me..."

"The fifth time." Yuan Ximu nodded and confessed, "Originally I didn't expect you to awaken, but during the fourth reincarnation, I noticed that your behavior was different from the previous times. After killing Mu En , and looked at Catalina and me, and then I felt that you had awakened without my help..."

Lin Huai'en nodded silently, "Show me the barrage in the live broadcast room, and then you can sleep for a while."

However, the girl smiled bitterly and shook her head: "This is impossible."

"As soon as I end the live broadcast, all comments disappear instantly, as if they never existed."

"So if you want to read the previous 21 reincarnation reports, you can only seize the time while I am awake."

.

Looking at Yuan Ximu lying on the sleeping bag, Lin Huai'en couldn't help but sigh.

He looked at his phone. Just as Yuan Ximu said, all the photos taken on it had disappeared.

It's as if they don't exist at all.

Lin Huai'en didn't know what was going on, but after hearing the news, more than two thousand dungeon explorers gathered in the live broadcast room, including many dungeon decryption masters who were even more powerful than Yuan Xiaole and Adjutant Lu.

According to their analysis, Lin Huai'en and Yuan Ximu should have entered some kind of "circulation space."

This cycle system continues to reincarnate on the 3rd and 23rd days of the crew. In each reincarnation, certain random changes will occur, such as Lin Huai'en becoming Windrunner, or Hara Yumu becoming Eiya Suzu.

Although it is not clear why this random change occurs, it is at least certain that the information in the "circulating space" has been manipulated.

Just like the appearance and disappearance of comment information, the circulating space blocks anything that might threaten its stability.

The reason why Yuan Ximu's [Magic Communication Band] can break this "blocking" is because it is a rare information source that can break through this cyclic system and transmit it to the outside world.

[Perhaps, the skill of "Magic Communication Band" has been underestimated by all of us...]

The analysis master in the barrage explained this problem this way.

On the other hand, these 21 reincarnations are not a 420-day long wait for the viewers in the live broadcast room.

"From the audience's perspective, what Yuan Ximu calls 'a live broadcast every day' means 'a live broadcast every hour', because each live broadcast lasts up to one hour, so from the audience's perspective , which is a one-hour non-stop carousel every hour.”

At first, everyone thought this was a new job for "Hitchcock's Maid".

After all, how can any live broadcast end every hour, suddenly flash on, and when it starts again, the background and characters have been changed.

Only pre-recorded video can explain the current phenomenon.

In addition, "Hitchcock's Maid" is a video uploader with great acting ability, so in the first two days, no one noticed anything strange.

Most of the viewers felt that she was just messing around. Although she was gently reminded that the live video was probably shut down by the supervisor, neither party noticed that the other party was having sex.

Then... the time came on the third day.

Finally someone noticed something was wrong.

And that was also Yuan Ximu's first "awakening".

But before she could figure out the situation, she lost consciousness decisively after the arrival of the 23rd.

From that day on, the audience in the live broadcast room formed a "maid support group" and racked their brains to help Yuan Ximu get out of the predicament.

The way to survive reincarnation was also found at this time. From the 23rd to the early morning of the 3rd, Yuan Ximu turned on the live broadcast and watched the barrage, which was able to overcome the most difficult period of sleepiness.

After you get through this period of time, when you open your eyes again, you will be able to travel through reincarnation with your previous memories.

And this miraculous event quickly spread on the deserted live broadcast platform of Wilderness House. At its peak, more than 7,900 people even gathered.

There were so many reward barrages that Yuan Ximu couldn't even see what they were talking about.

But as the progress of reincarnation stagnated, the popularity of the live broadcast room also gradually declined. Now, there are only about 1,700 people left - and they are still the kind who will leave at any time and come back online when they are free.

"We have experienced a full 420 days of reincarnation, but to the outside world, it is only 17 and a half days..."

"Someone called the police 14 days ago, but the first rescue team from the Changying Branch has not come back yet... The second rescue team has just set off..."

Lin Huaien looked at the information on the map.

In a sense, apart from a large amount of reincarnation content, there is very little real effective information obtained in the 21 reincarnations.

But it's not surprising that just figuring out how to survive the dangerous 23rd day took Hara Yumu six reincarnations.

"last question."

Lin Huai'en looked at the outline he had written before——

"Is it 'why I woke up on my own without the help of Yuan Ximu and the live broadcast room'..."
