Thor had never seen such a person before. Why was a person's scent so complicated? Could it be that there was something wrong with his sense of smell?
Li Mo touched his chin and said, "So that's how it is. Thor has a strong sense of smell. For various reasons, I can't explain it."
"It seems that there is nothing wrong with my sense of smell. So what do you want to talk to me about?"
Kobayashi only introduced that Li Mo came to see Thor for something, but did not explain in detail what it was.
Mr. Li repeated his question again.
The demons from the underworld and the angels from heaven are unable to answer their own questions. What about the dragon from another world?
Thor pinched his chin and said, "Perception... I didn't pay much attention to it. But I did feel this strange phenomenon."
"I haven't heard Thor say that."
"Does Xiaolin care about this?"
Senior Kobayashi said, “I’m quite curious.”
Thor boiled water and brewed tea, and said, "How should I put it? I told Xiaolin before that Kanna and I can use the spell of distorting perception to blend into the crowd, right?
That's what happened in our world. When I came here, I used the spell of distorting cognition out of habit, but I found that it was not necessary at all. The humans in your world naturally accepted our existence."
As the explanation progressed, Thor prepared tea and placed it in front of the guests and Kobayashi.
She continued, "At first I thought your world was used to my existence. Later I realized something was wrong, but I didn't pay much attention to it at that time. It was only when I communicated with Lukoya last time that I realized that Xiaolin and all of humanity have some kind of cognitive protection."
"Recognition, protection?"
Xiaolin was unfamiliar with this term, but she was familiar with the katakana that made it up. However, the combination of the two confused her.
"Yes, for various reasons. In fact, the Earth is connected to many other worlds. For example, our other world, if I want to come here, I just need to open a door. And I heard from Lukoya that many people in Japan travel to other worlds every year. This seems to be related to the underlying operating logic of the world.
But Lukoya said that this thing was just a suggestion when she was working. She was kicked out of the management position before she officially started working.
Xiaolin nodded, "I remember Lukoya said that she was kicked out because of drinking."
"Anyway, Lukoya is now just an unscrupulous older sister who bullies children every day. I'm getting off topic, let's get back to the previous topic. The working principle of this cognitive defense is probably something like a firewall. Let me give you an example. I'll take myself as an example."
Thor said: "The protagonist is set to be an ordinary person who thinks that dragons don't exist in the world. But when he sees me by chance, his defense mechanism will be activated. This person will think, it's a dragon! Then he will turn around and do his own thing.
The interesting thing about this mechanism is that when the defense is activated, the person involved will not have his or her thoughts distorted. If he or she thinks it is role-playing, then it is role-playing. If he or she thinks it is a real tail, then it is a real tail. But he or she will not be surprised by seeing a supernatural being.
For example, when I sent Xiaolin to work, I was flying in the air in my true form, and when people saw me, they would just think, "It's a giant dragon flying over there." The idea was correct, but the emotion was the same as seeing a plane take off.
Thor's long speech made Li Mo gradually understand what human defense mechanism is.
In short, it means that people will not be surprised when they see supernatural elements. Just like seeing ordinary people...
"Isn't this kind of defense limited?"
"Should be, right? This mechanism is mainly to facilitate our lives." Thor said, "Anyway, Kanna and I benefit from this. Oh, speaking of this, I remembered. Xiaolin, next time we go to see Pekora, we can go and apply for her identity. Lukoya said that a solution has been found."
During the conversation, Kobayashi and Thor solved Pekora's biggest problem. That is, she has no legal identity and can only do odd jobs when she works. Of course, the household registration management in Japan is not very strict, but Pekora will not lie.
Later, Li Mo continued to ask: "Does Tolsan know how this mechanism exists? It's impossible to cast a spell every time a newborn is born, right?"
"No... Well, Lukoya knows a little bit about the operating principle. It seems to be based on something called 'Alaya'."
Alaya
Li Mo is very familiar with this term.
It was originally a term in Buddhism. But in modern times, it has a new meaning, which refers to the existence of the collective unconsciousness of human beings.
If this system is operated based on "Alaya", then it is indeed normal... What the hell!
Li Mo suddenly felt that the water in this world was much deeper than he thought.
Chapter 293 Thinking
Alaya
This term reminded Li Mo of the Type-Moon world. Yes, in the circle of the two-dimensional culture, when this term is mentioned, people will think of the Type-Moon world.
There is the Holy Grail War, a battlefield where ancient heroes are summoned to fight.
There were the True Ancestors of the Dead Apostles, creatures that existed only in fantasy, fighting to the death in the dark.
It's a multiverse.
"But how come even this world has this term?"
After leaving Xiaolin's house and walking on the main road, Li Mo looked a little sick and listless.
——Yes, once you understand this mechanism you will know how terrible it is.
As an ordinary person, Kobayashi may not be able to think of it, and Thor, as a dragon from another world, may not know this meaning either.
The collective of human pan-consciousness. To attack them is equivalent to fighting against all humans. After seeing the Garden Lily Bell, Li Mo did not think that the humans in this world would be so weak.
At the same time, humans are protected by gods. According to Thor, a long time ago, Lukoa lived in this world as a protector of humans. It was only a few hundred years ago that due to some complicated circumstances, she lost her job and became an idle person.
In short, it was cancelled from the establishment.
And according to Thor... Lukoa is even stronger than Thor.
"The water is too deep. Where are the spring things? Where are the blue days?"
After seeing Yukinoshita, Li Mo thought that this world was just Oregairu, and at most there were some works about passerby heroines, Rascal, and so on... the worldviews of several works with elements of youth love were mixed together.
This often happens in novels. But why do you mix all these things in? Even the other world is mixed in?
The "human cognitive protection mechanism" had already dealt a heavy blow to Li Mo. It was also said that Thor's little episode about the time traveler had left him stunned. He hadn't reacted at the time, but now he was thinking about it carefully.
It's very scary.
Everyone knows that Japanese light novels are rich in toilet paper, and the other world is the hardest hit area. In the past, most of them were high school students, but now they are mostly office workers. The ways of crossing are also all kinds of strange. Some people cross over with their eyes open or closed, some are scared to death by tractors, and some cross over because they think they see a mysterious tractor and are killed...
Suppose that all these time-traveling protagonists came from this world...
That shouldn't be the case, right?
But think about it, you rarely see familiar light novels about traveling to another world in bookstores.
The true fragrance of the world slowly revealed itself before my eyes, and for a moment I could not accept it.
I don't know how much time passed. I got off the train in confusion and stepped onto the land of Fuyuki City again. The storm in my mind gradually subsided.
Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up.
I am just a little monster. Relying on the "immortal body·fake" brought by the third tail, I can fight against powerful enemies with the help of various strange abilities. But the lethality is insufficient.
Holding the "Power of the Beast" in his hand, he greatly increased his lethality. But when he looked around, his other means were still sword skills, Sun Breathing, Swallow Return... Other magic was not as good as sword skills. It was completely... a serious bias.
How to grow the fourth tail is also an important question. In fact, it seems very simple to achieve this goal in this world. Angels, demons, dragons, whatever it is, just devour one.
The secret method of devouring inherited from Gao Yanskaya is not that simple. In fact, she can take away a certain concept, and even take it away when the other party is not dead. But according to her, the kings of the Lostbelts are not simple, and it is very troublesome to take them while they are alive.
——Even in the First Lostbelt, the Russian Tsar, the Thunder Emperor, who transformed into a prehistoric beast, possessed extraordinary power. In the Type-Moon world, he barely had the combat power of a "main god".
Although he is a weakling among the kings of the Lostbelt. Not to mention the almighty god Zeus in the Greek Lostbelt, or the supreme god Arjuna, they are all beyond the existence of gods. The mechanical ascension emperor in the Qin Lostbelt is also an exceptional combat power. Even in the Nordic Lostbelt, Scathach Skadi, who is struggling to support the survival of mankind, is far superior to Ivan the Terrible.
Of course, this is just Koyanskaya's personal opinion.
"Ugh……"
Li Mo was not prepared to grow a fourth tail in the current world. The water was too deep and he didn't dare to jump in.
He also had some guesses as to why he was not within the scope of the "human cognitive protection mechanism". It was nothing more than related to the system and the identity of "crossing". Besides, he had now gone from a human to a "non-human", so there was no need for protection at all.
distressed.
So what's next in the world?
In the past, I couldn’t even say I was looking forward to the tasks issued by the system, but rather I sneered at them.
What’s the point of this kind of forced task? It’s better to study on your own.
But after returning from Demon Slayer, he changed his mind again. The system is really great. Although the random opening of treasure chests is always a problem, going to the new world itself is a benefit. Not to mention the Yin-Yang arts that are popular in the world of Genshin Impact, the magic he learned in the Type-Moon world laid the foundation for him.
As for whether or not it will become a beast in the future, that is another question.
I came to the convenience store as if in a trance, and then when I entered the convenience store, I remembered that I had eaten at Kobayashi's. But since I was already here, I bought a bento.
With a monster's appetite, it is easy to eat two meals in a short period of time. Even if the stomach is full, it can quickly convert food into vitality.
I returned home silently, and the house was still empty. I stuffed food into my mouth mechanically, and only when I sat in front of the computer did I break free from the feeling of loss.
Li Mo was sure of one thing.
I am special.
Actively travel between different worlds, absorb knowledge from each world and then grow.
The mysterious failure caused by the different environments between the worlds can be used again by relying on the similarities between different worlds.
Of course, Li Mo has another choice.
The mystery of solidification.
That is, a product similar to the Magic Seal. The existence of the Magic Seal is included in the mysteries taught by Medea. In the eyes of the magicians of the Age of Gods, the production of the Magic Seal is not difficult. The value of the Magic Seal lies in the mysteries accumulated by magicians from generation to generation.
The magic seal is the hard disk, and the mystery is the knowledge stored in it. As long as you take the hard disk with you to other places, as long as there is electricity and a way to read the knowledge, you can reproduce it.
The accumulation is still not enough.
"The magic book in this world should be able to help me, but there is no way to buy it... Lukoya? Can you ask Xiaolin to introduce her to you?"
Li Mo thought.
Chapter 294: Gu, Kill Me!
The end of science is theology.
Li Mo had often seen such words. When science advances to a certain level, ordinary people simply cannot understand it. To them, it is just like a fairy tale. The mysterious quantum mechanics can reproduce all kinds of things in the myth.
Li Mo felt that this sentence was wrong.
The end of theology should be science. When the scale of time moves to the distant future, science will develop further, and everything recorded in the myths of the past can be explained from a scientific perspective. The Type-Moon world proves this point. All magic in the past Age of Gods was magic, but in modern times, only five kinds can be called magic. The rest of the original "magic" has been reproduced by humans using science.
"But climbing a technology tree is impossible!"
Compared to science, the biggest advantage of mystery is that it is easy to learn. Compared to various mathematical formulas, mysterious things can take shortcuts by using "similarity", which is simply copying homework.
