Mystery: Paradox Path

Snow approached Bernadette at a very slow speed as if deliberately. As the distance gradually narrowed, Snow could clearly see the complex emotions on her face.

Finally, when the two faces were so close that they could almost feel the temperature of each other's lips, Bernadette's body suddenly turned into an illusory information flow, and in a blink of an eye, he disappeared into the room, only Leaving a strong calm voice—

"Tomorrow I'll go to you to get the spell."

"Tsk tsk, run away..."

Seeing Bernadette disappearing, Snow didn't feel disappointed. After all, this is a restaurant, so he wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"Invincible begins with the sacrifice of ancestors"

Besides, if you attack Huang Beibei like this, you will always feel a sense of threat, which is not good.

Returning to his seat, Snow took a sip from his wine glass and continued to eat the so-called Intis court dishes. , there is almost no trace of cauliflower.

Of course, in terms of taste, it's still pretty good.

…

After returning home from the Sailun Zuo restaurant, Snow did not hesitate, and immediately began to arrange the ceremony.

Compared with the simple ritual of fooling himself with men's perfume, this time he did it very seriously.

He took out two candle wicks mixed with his own hair, and carved candles marked with paradox, and began to take out the items needed for the ritual one by one, including a carving knife, a small bottle of mercury, four-leaf clover distilled Essential oils, and small amounts of spiritual materials.

Although he had habitually closed the entire basement, at this time he still used the traditional method of his mouth, guided his spirituality with a ritual silver dagger, sealed the altar, and then lit two candles by spiritual friction.

Essential oils and spiritual materials were added to the candle, Snow took out three small plates and placed them in front of the candle that represented himself, and began to recite in ancient Hermes:

"paradox!"

"You are a traveler from a distant time and space."

"You are a contradictory spiral of logic and wisdom."

"You are the reflection of knowledge, the back of truth."

As the honorable name was recited, the flame of the candle representing "God" began to rise, and a subtle connection was established between the white horse and the candle.

Snow let go of his spirituality slightly, guided the pre-charged angelic ability, and continued to recite the incantation:

"I pray to you;"

"I ask you to give me strength;"

"Give me the power to complete the 'ship of Theseus' spell."

"Paradox, please pass your power to my spell..."

"A four-leaf clover, an herb belonging to the paradox field, please pass on your power to my spell..."

With the chanting of the mantra, the spirituality slowly flowed, and Snow could feel that the power of the white horse and not the horse was flowing into him in a different way than before.

That wonderful feeling that seemed to exist anywhere, and as if it didn't exist anywhere, soaked his spirit and almost broke the balance of his self-awareness.

This is also the fundamental reason why Snow uses such a complex program to mobilize his abilities, because this spell involving existence, if borrowed directly, is likely to interfere with his own existence.

Without hesitation, Snow maintained the cognition of "my existence is real" and poured the mercury in the test tube into three small plates. As the liquid mercury spread out, he immediately took out the In a test tube with Bonova spiritual material, pour the liquid that seems to contain countless knowledge on the mercury.

The spirituality of the paradox spewed out from Snow's fingertips. Under the influence of this power, the mercury wrapped Bonova's spiritual material and slowly turned into a coin-like solid.

The engraving knife in Snow's hand immediately protruded, and following the power of spirituality, he sketched the required runes on the solidified mercury. The whole process was particularly fast under Snow's strong physical fitness. Child's Eye, with a spell on the back that looks like a sailboat constructed of runes, appeared in front of him.

With the end of the ceremony, the spirituality gushing out from the white horse and not the horse gradually subsided, and the three mercury charms also began to subdue their spiritual brilliance. of old silver coins.

Setting the "ship" in ancient Hermes as the opening incantation, Snow quickly finished the ceremony.

He did not rush to check the status of the spell, but began to enter shallow meditation, and through self-suggestion, he continued to deepen his awareness of his own existence.

It sounds outrageous to believe that he is real, but after becoming Carl's Dragon, Snow's state has become like the "pink transparent fire-breathing dragon" in that story, unfalsifiable and unverifiable. Existence, in a sense, the current him is essentially a lie constructed from "three people become tigers", and what this lie deceives is himself.

If he simply considers his own maintenance, Snow can completely seal his memory about the side effects, or simply ask Miss Justice to intervene him psychologically, but the problem is that this side effect also involves the promotion to Sequence Two afterward. —The ritual of [Schrödinger's Cat].

This ritual is essentially different from the previous three promotion rituals, because it cannot reduce the difficulty through a long layout.

As for its content, it can be said that it is very simple -

[Dying in the sight of a large audience. 】

It sounds weird, but it's actually even more weird, because the essence of this ritual is not about "death" at all, even if it can make the audience think that he is dead, even a suspended animation.

But this is where the ritual is truly deadly.

As I said before, Snow's current state is actually no different from the lie maintained by [Three Becomes a Tiger]. In other words, when a large number of viewers think that he is dead, even if it is a fake death, it will become a real death, and the only one The only way to confront him is the cognition of "he's alive" that is stronger than these cognitions.

But when witnessing his death, most of the audience should have the cognition that "this person is dead", and how many people can confirm that he is still alive at this moment?

And this can't be announced in advance, because then the "death" condition is not met.

As for hypnotizing another group of people, they kept thinking about things like "Snow is not dead" during the ceremony... Just kidding, this is a promotion ceremony, the ghost knows what will happen after drinking the potion, in case the mental state is not up to standard, That's really dead and can't die anymore!

So to be on the safe side, he must be able to do it. With his own cognition, he can overwhelm the cognition of a large number of audiences, and this large amount, converted into ordinary people, must be at least 100,000 people!

Of course, if Adam was replaced, only one of him would be more than enough, but it was obviously no different from killing him.
