Outside the pyramid, a light curtain opened in front of Mr. Li, who had just returned from Penglai. He happened to run into Yukinoshita Yukino who was out for a walk. They said they were just walking, but the two of them ended up staying.
The light screen showed the shrine maiden Shikigami dancing in the flames. He sent the Shikigami to supervise the celestial beings to destroy the cave. The "cave" was made by Mudan, the guy who made puppets out of human corpses. After capturing Mudan, he buried all the corpses.
The body, the soul, and the spirit. Of the three elements, the corpses only possessed the first one, so they were just buried, and there was no need to worry about ghosts popping out. In the current world, there was no environment that could allow ghosts to appear.
Yukino said, "Why did you let the miko dance there?"
"You have seen the festival, right? Do you think it is an ordinary dance?" Li Mo said, "The witches dance to please the gods. There are no gods in this world, but there are concepts of gods. I can borrow power through the thoughts formed by this concept."
"So, what is the ceremony then?"
As a Japanese, Yukino knows the relevant culture. There are many purposes for the traditional meaning of the shrine maiden dance, such as avoiding disasters, praying for a stable life, etc.
Li Mo said, "A ritual to purify filth. Do you remember it? Minister, in the eyes of magicians, there are three elements that make up a person."
"Body, mind, and soul." Yukino said, "I know all of this."
Xue No's progress in cultivating Qi was not very smooth, perhaps due to the difference between the two worlds. So Li Mo suggested that she could study magic, the black magic mastered by Hanazono Yuri.
So I learned a lot about mysticism.
Li Mo said: "On this island, I didn't see where the soul went after the person died, but the spirit could be preserved. If someone was thrown into the cave and still had the ability to resist and climbed up along the vines, the vines would attack those people."
"This isn't the hunting instinct of plants," said Yukino.
Plant attack, this sentence seems outrageous, but we know that there are plants that prey on insects in nature. At the same time, there are fantasy elements in this world, so the possibility of plants preying on humans is not outrageous.
This is the most reasonable speculation. However, considering what Li Mo said above, this speculation is not so reasonable.
Li Mo: "Yes, those plants were not cultivated to be aggressive, but ordinary plants that digest corpses. But as the process progresses, the spirits of the dead continue to be preserved. And the most preserved spirit is... Since I died in there, why can you living people escape?"
"Since I'm getting wet in the rain, I should let others get wet too. Is this idea correct?" Yukino said.
Li Mo nodded: "Yes, this is something that harms others and does not benefit oneself. In a sense, it is a curse. But this curse has no lethality."
"The fire sticks you gave them specially couldn't kill those spirits?"
"Of course, but I'm just trying to gain experience."
With experience and the support of the system, Li Mo can easily bring a skill to the top level as long as he masters a certain skill. He just needs to use it.
It looks like the shrine maiden Shikigami is in action, but it is actually Li Mo who is in action. You can use the method of divine descent to land on the shrine maiden and remove the filth in the form of Kagura dance to gain some experience.
Li Mo's right hand slid downwards, and the light screen showing the scene near the cave was cancelled.
It was common for him to use his mind. He was distracted to maintain the spirituality of the miko shikigami, and asked Yukinoshita: "It's a coincidence that we met, Minister, can you come with me to the laboratory?"
"?"
It has been a while since she came to this island, about a week. She is completely used to life here. She was found by Li Mo the day after she crossed over, and his arrival brought a whole set of modern life. Except for the lack of Internet and no school, her pace of life during this period is no different from that on Earth.
During this time, Li Mo never asked himself to go to the laboratory...
"Can we go back now?" Yukino thought of the only possibility.
"Almost." Li Mo said, "I caught a sea monster outside the island a few days ago for experiments, and even brought it back with me. There are no problems with its body, mind, and soul. I think I should be able to take you back with me."
The experiment has been carried out to this point, and it can be declared a success. The whole process is actually very simple. The "pseudo-simulated star creation map-mysterious base" originally has the ability of "cosmic structure". It is enough to ensure Yukino's survival outside the universe. Combined with the guidance of the "spark" ability, the ability to go to the world is formed.
The difficult issues of the past were solved easily, which made people feel a little dreamy. On second thought, isn't it supposed to be this way? After drawing the "Spark" in the system treasure chest, traveling through time becomes a simple matter.
But at that time, I didn’t know that time travel was something that could be seen.
Once the accumulation is made, everything will come naturally.
Walking into the pyramid, we came to the upper laboratory. The environment here is just like a modern laboratory, with silver and white as the main color. Various containers exist here, and many things are soaked in them.
Among them, there are things on this island, such as the body tissues of the celestial beings, the body tissues of the tree people, the body tissues of the kitchen gods and door gods outside, and even the body tissues of the sea monsters in the ocean outside the island.
What was soaked was almost entirely body tissue.
Because to Li Mo, these are the only valuable things in this world. Of course, the information and books in the library are also valuable.
Walking through this area, entering a deeper room, it was an empty room, with nothing in it, but it gave people a strange feeling.
For no reason, Yukinoshita Yukino felt that the environment there was incompatible with her current environment.
Li Mo said, "The room over there is the 'other world' I built. I don't know why, but it's obviously easier to leave the world when you are in the 'other world'. That's probably because you are outside the world to begin with."
The process of building the "other world" was very simple, and Li Mo made full use of various factors in his mind. The Storm Barrier was the other world, and the existence of the pyramid temple gave it the attributes of the underworld. The pyramid was the home of the dead, so there was a superposition of the dual concepts of the "underworld".
Then, there is this room.
This is also a "different world". The superposition of three "different worlds" does not lead to the weakness of space, but it allows one to leave the current world more easily.
And the reason is very simple.
The other world is the other world, which is conceptually "outside the world". It is equivalent to being outside the door.
After a pause, Li Mo asked, "Second Miss, do you want to go back now?"
Chapter 671 Welcome Back to Earth
Go home, what a tempting word.
The high-pitched flower under the snow lowered her head in thought. Even after she heard that she could go home, she couldn't control her expression.
When she was a student, she didn't understand what it meant to go home. However, after experiencing this outrageous time travel, Yukino finally understood what homesickness was.
Fate is interesting like this.
"Mr. Li, please take me back."
"Okay. Then does the second young lady want to say goodbye to the others? For example, Shu Ren and Mei or something like that."
The tree man has his own name, but Li Mo is unwilling to call him by that name.
"I have a question," said Yukino.
"Excuse me."
"After I return, when you come to this world again, will time stop at home?"
"Of course." Li Mo paused and added: "It can't be said that time has stopped over there. It can only be said that relative to me who left that world, time on both sides is still."
It's not absolute time stopping, but relative time stopping. I am far from being able to stop time.
Li Mo: "In other words, I left the main world in the last second, and came back in the next second."
Yukino nodded to show that she understood.
She understood what Li Mo meant.
Time is a river, and crossing is like walking from one river to another. When Li Mo returned to this side of the river, he returned to his previous position, which was equivalent to nothing changing.
This is the most superficial metaphor. It is an example that Yukinoshita thought of at the moment. If you extend this idea a little bit, you will find more problems with this metaphor. According to what Li Mo said, the speed of time flowing to different worlds and the speed of time flowing in the main world are not fixed. When you stay in this world, the time of the main world is suspended. But when you stay in another world, the speed of time flowing in the main world will pass. In other words, one river is flowing, and the other is not flowing. At the same time, Li Mo can only move horizontally forever...
For a moment, Yukinoshita Yukino could find countless loopholes herself.
But it's okay.
She understood what Li Mo meant and got the result she wanted, which was enough.
"In other words, the next second after I returned, you had already solved the problem here, right?"
Li Mo nodded. It was a truth. A moment over there was enough for Li to do many things over here.
Yukino said; "Can I stay?"
"Aren't you afraid of danger? I defeated the immortals, but what if they rebel again?"
"Mr. Li, can't you protect me?"
Yukinoshita asked.
Li Mo smiled and said, "Is this a request or a commission?"
"How about the commission?"
"As the head of the Service Club, I submitted a request to the Service Club. This is really strange."
"What's so strange? After all, I'm just an ordinary person and there are things I can't solve. Secondly... the Service Club is just a club and does not involve any financial activities. The director's entrustment of subordinates is not a case of harming the public interest for personal gain." Yukinoshita Yukino said.
Li Mo was stunned and asked in surprise: "How do you know I'm thinking this?"
It's hard not to let people imagine when a leader of an organization gives a personal commission to an organization under his jurisdiction. He completely ignored the word "avoid suspicion". Of course, the Service Club is just a student organization, and he occasionally complained in his heart.
Yukino said, "Isn't it that you are best at pointing fingers at Japanese politicians?"
"Well..." When you are in Japan, you will inevitably come into contact with political relations. For example, various news reports, and of course the most important thing is that because of the political system, you can see politicians' propaganda activities on the streets.
That's why Japanese male gunners are so fierce.
Besides, as a boy, isn't it natural for him to be a keyboard politician? Especially when he personally manages a country, let's look at those news reports.
After a pause, Li Mo said, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Minister, what are you going to do here when you go back? Are you going to do nothing like last week?"
"I've finished my work in the library... so I'll bring my homework here to make up for the missed lessons. Li Mo, did you take notes in class?"
Li Mo: “…”
"have it?"
"Yes, yes, but it's in my head."
Because I treat going to school and attending classes as a form of leisure and entertainment, all the content of the class is in my mind. Even if I don’t take notes in class, I can still take them all out and even play my memories in the form of a video.
Li Mo: "Does the Minister really need to attend the lecture? With the Minister's grades, he doesn't need to attend the lecture at all."
A true top student will not listen to the teacher's lectures. Why? The teacher often considers the entire class, not just one or two students. Top students all rely on self-study, even a genius like Yukinoshita is no exception.
"Consolidate the basics... Mr. Li, your academic progress is so fast, are you practicing exercises in another world?" Xueno asked.
"? I have become a non-human, why do I still have to practice questions? I had to practice questions before I became extraordinary, and I have to practice questions after I become extraordinary. Didn't I give up my human identity in vain?" Li Mo complained, and then he began to list the various advantages of not being a human.
Yes, if there is no benefit in not being a human, then why not continue to be a human? Just like the evil Dio, he also valued the benefits of being a vampire more than being a human, so he decisively chose to become a vampire.
That is totally a profit-seeking creature.
"Well, I see. Mr. Li, what's your answer? Do you welcome me over?"
"Welcome, welcome. A warm welcome. How about... a club activity? Invite Yuigahama Yui and Hikigaya Hachiman as well. The midterm exams are coming up soon, so it's a good opportunity to give them extra lessons."
Xueno's expression changed subtly, and she said, "Let's go back first and watch later."
"Okay." Then let's go in and go over there.
