Chapter 1045 The God of Coincidence and Illusion

And strangely, Aiwass also felt that this was the case -

He nodded, indicating that it was indeed the case: “Yes, it can only be the Halek family.

"They definitely didn't expect that we realized in advance that the Void Box was in their manor. If we launch a surprise attack tonight, we will definitely catch them off guard..."

"--No."

Sherlock was silent for a long time, but then he uttered a word of denial coldly: "Can't go."

The old duke immediately showed displeasure.

But before he could react, Aiwass asked, "Why?"

He knew that Sherlock would not say such a thing for no reason, there must be a reason behind it.

And Aiwass also believed in Sherlock's wisdom and judgment - he knew that he had cheated, so he humbly accepted Sherlock's correction.

"I actually think it should be the Halek family..."

However, Sherlock's first words puzzled them: "I can find many reasons - for example, the Halick family is the oldest earl family in Iris, for example, Earl Halick also experienced the third rebellion, for example, the Halick family is usually low-key enough, and the sons of the moon in this family rarely go out..."

"That……"

——Then why refuse?
Yasen originally wanted to ask this.

But he suddenly realized something and stopped talking.

And Aiwass's face also changed -

He and Yassen looked at each other and knew that the other party also understood.

as predicted.

Sherlock went on to say, "But these things are not evidence at all. At best, they can only be regarded as a kind of 'pseudo-logic', just like a suspicious monarch looking for faults and 'evidence of treason'. The answer comes first, and then the reason is found; it is not that the result is deduced from the phenomenon.

"…But why am I so sure that it is the Halek family?"

Sherlock said this and glanced around the room: "Everyone, I believe you can understand this."

In an instant, the room fell into an eerie silence.

The atmosphere was as cold as ice, and Anne hadn't even understood what Sherlock said. She looked around nervously, fearing that everyone would suddenly start a fight here.

For the first time, Aiwass reached out and pressed the back of Anne's hand, signaling her to be at ease and not to be afraid.

Although Aiwass still didn't look at Anne, but stared at Sherlock... Anne looked at Aiwass's profile in surprise.

She suddenly smiled brightly, as if she was a dozen years younger.

"……snort."

The old man snorted coldly and sat down slowly.

He opened his wolf-green eyes completely, which looked so cold and ferocious. They were as calm as water, without any fluctuations. In an overwhelming ruthlessness, there burned a silent rage, like a red fire burning on colorless oil.

"——How daring."

The old duke read it slowly, not knowing to whom he was addressing.

And Aiwass closed his eyes and leaned back on the sofa: "I understand..." There is no doubt that there is only one answer.

Reality - or the future - has been reversed.

The Count of the Moon Child had obviously set up a defensive "fate". If anyone were aware of this, they would subconsciously go looking for trouble with the "Halik Family".

The Halik family might be his ally or his enemy... But in any case, if something suddenly happened to the Halik family, who usually stayed at home and would not offend anyone easily, it would most likely mean that he had been discovered.

It's like a note stuck in the crack of the door when you go out; or a strand of hair stuck in a drawer, or an empty can placed at the door.

It can serve as a sufficiently sensitive "omen machine" to detect its own situation in real time.

At this point, Aiwass even doubted whether his memory was wrong. Perhaps the owner of the Box of Nothingness was not the Son of the Moon.

Fortunately, Sherlock has a kind of "logical obsession" - no matter what the matter is, as long as the logic is not self-consistent, he will be suspicious and always feel that something is wrong. This problem was purely a delay before, and even Sherlock himself was trying to correct it... But now it is precisely this habit that makes them realize that something is wrong in advance.

"...He has the ability to change fate. He is really a troublesome guy."

Yassen complained.

He looked at Aiwass and asked seriously, "That... 'Empty Box', to what extent can it modify reality? Can it turn back time? Or can it make people suddenly die?"

“I definitely can’t do that.”

Aiwass said with certainty: "No matter what power it is, it is impossible to turn back time."

——Because that was Huan Tiansi’s former power.

The power system of this world has a basic principle, which is "occupancy". The reason why the material world has an upper limit on energy levels is because the Celestial Masters and future Celestial Masters occupy the "empty positions of power". Even if these Celestial Masters have not yet been born, this part of the power will not be distributed to the material world.

The upper limit of the number of celestial officials in each path should be five or six, because there has never been more than this number of celestial officials at the same time. Even in the ritual of the ring of tails, which keeps dropping like dumplings, one goes down before another comes up; of course, things may also be the other way around, and it is possible that if the number of celestial officials exceeds the limit, they will squeeze the power of the material world.

And the same authority of the Heavenly Official also requires one to occupy a position.

For example, due to the existence of the "Xi Tiansi", the former Swan King could not rise to the position of "Xi Tiansi" in the Path of Beauty, because the authority of "drama" was taken away by the Xi Tiansi, and the authority of "opera" was taken away by the Song Tiansi. He is more likely to become a "rebel Tiansi" or "rebel Tiansi" who transcends the Tao. If he forcibly enters the Path of Beauty, he may only be an abstract marginal position such as "Dream Tiansi".

But at that time, the Anti-Heaven Division had not yet been born.

Now that Ni Tiansi, who is the "Heavenly Minister of Justice and Revenge", has been born, the Swan King has lost most of the possibility of becoming a god.

——On the other hand, the authority that the Swan King has not yet condensed must be an ability that the existing Heavenly Officials do not have. And the power to go back to the past clearly belongs to the Heavenly Officials of Reincarnation, so the Swan King cannot get it.

Through this process of elimination, Aiwass can actually basically lock down what the "Box of Nothingness" can do: "Basically speaking, it should be able to change other people's thoughts, and there is a small probability that it can change other people's memories and emotions. It may even create a small probability of "coincidence" - that may be regarded as a kind of "drama".

"For example, if the disease suddenly worsens, or if no one sees him while he's escaping, or if no one notices a very basic mistake when discussing the plan... If this power is used by the Swan King himself, it would definitely be extremely powerful. Fortunately, the person who uses this power is a Moon Child who has no aesthetic sense..."

"...Is this the power he used to control the rebellion?"

The Grand Duke frowned and said, "Then how can we overcome 'coincidence' and 'illusion'?"

"It's very simple."

Sherlock put down his teacup and replied calmly but proudly: "Use 'logic'.

"Dreams... are illogical. When a person is dreaming, he or she is not aware that there is something wrong with their logic. But once a person wakes up, they will realize how ridiculous it is.

"——Then wouldn't it be fine if I just stayed awake even in my dreams?"
