Love letters are not allowed in exorcism notes

Chapter 120 The terrible price that cannot be paid

There are two hypotheses for the future Internet era.

The first is the game hypothesis - is there a possibility that our world is just a virtual reality game, and we are all NPCs or prostitutes in the game, belonging to the gold-earning experience of other gold-earning players.

The second is the underworld hypothesis - is there a possibility that we are all dead and living in the underworld, and the unfilial descendants above have completely forgotten us and will not burn paper for us at all.

Of course this is all a joke.

Science is not a standard, but a methodology for understanding the world, which emphasizes that existence is reasonable.

If an abnormal phenomenon occurs in the real world that cannot be explained by existing scientific theories, the ignorant will shout for the revival of spiritual energy, while the real scientists will look for patterns, put forward various hypotheses, and conduct demonstrations.

In the world that Wang Yunxiao traveled to, there are a large number of abnormal things that are extremely irrational and can even be said to be seriously inconsistent with the style of painting.

This irrationality is specifically reflected in three aspects.

First of all, the understanding of the world is extremely confusing.

The world that ordinary people perceive is actually very normal, but as long as you know a little more about the secrets hidden behind this world, you will discover all kinds of indescribable truths that are terrifying to think about.

The line between what is reality and what is fiction is very blurry.

Wang Yunxiao still hasn't figured out what era he is in.The Western calendar was not introduced into the country. As for the time point of "the second year of the Ming Dynasty", he could only guess from the contents of history books and the science and technology on the market that it should be in the period from the late [-]th century to the early [-]th century. .

But at the same time, there are many inexplicable black technologies, such as concrete-cast civil defense fortifications and aviation warships...

And overseas provinces that I have never heard of, Parrot Island, Hongyan Island...

Secondly, there is the confusion in the setting of the mysterious power system.

Judging from various information clues collected by Wang Yunxiao, the country originally had a traditional power system and various orthodox inheritances, and they were all concepts that he was relatively familiar with.

Green leaves, white lotus roots and red lotuses, masters of Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism emerged in large numbers, leaving rich story records in various storytelling scripts and rural histories.

There are Taoist priests from Yuxu Kunlun who go down the mountain to experience the world of mortals and subjugate demons.

There are monks from the White Horse Zen Sect who spread Buddhism everywhere and save all sentient beings.

There are Confucian scholars from Yuelu Academy who study the scriptures of saints and educate the world.

In addition, there are green forests and rivers and lakes, heroes and martial arts masters, who dominate the world.

There are various great schools such as Mohists, military strategists, political strategists, etc., which come one after another and complement each other.

These originally existed, but in the past few decades, with the development and collision of Eastern and Western civilizations, they have all disappeared into the fog of history.

Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Wang Yunxiao is not yet in touch with that level.

But Lao He did say that today's Kunlun Taoist priests no longer go down the mountain to slay demons.

Finally, there is confusion in the understanding of things.

Different people have different opinions on the same thing.The same ghost can appear differently to different people.

It's like everyone sees the world differently.

This is very unreasonable.

If you want to write a novel, you only need to say "scientists can't explain it" to pass it by.

There are many more outrageous settings than this.

But as people living in this world, we must find ways to study and explain.

Even if it is just a guess or a hypothesis, it has its meaning.

"Material is the carrier of thought, and thought determines the existence of matter. In other words, if I think this thing should exist, then it can exist."

Nurse Liu had taught this principle in class, but Wang Yunxiao didn't understand it very thoroughly at that time.

"Theoretically speaking, we can bring our deceased relatives back to the present world?"

Wang Yunxiao certainly understands the value of this truth.His brothers all lost all their relatives in that catastrophe.

No one can understand the pain of this life and death separation more deeply than them, as well as the suffering they have experienced over the years.

A child with a mother is like a treasure, a child without a mother is like a piece of grass.

If there is such an opportunity, even if it is only a slight possibility, Wang Yunxiao believes that they will do whatever it takes to achieve their wish.

But at what cost?

"The cost is severe."

The little gourd lowered his head and said softly: "After all, the earth will not stop rotating because of one person."

"Ignoring other issues for the time being, if you want to bring the deceased in memory back to the present world, the most basic prerequisite is to have its 'alive' state recognized by reality."

"In other words, everyone who knows the inside story must recognize this fact from the bottom of their hearts."

"But that's clearly not possible."

"No matter how much Dumpling hopes his grandma can come back to life, we all know in our hearts that his grandma has passed away long ago."

“What he thinks alone is no match for what we all think.”

"unless……"

"Kill everyone who knows his grandma and knows about his grandma's death."

"But even so, what he brings back to the present world is only the grandma in his memory, not a 'complete and real person'."

"People's memories can be blurred, revised, and even deceived."

Wang Yunxiao remained silent.

This is the price of knowing the truth.

This is an endless loop that is theoretically possible but completely unsolvable in practice.Even if Dumpling wanted to resurrect his grandma, he would be so ruthless as to kill all the brothers he had been with day and night.

He still couldn't fulfill his wish because if so many people died, someone would come to investigate the case.His files will be uncovered and his secrets will be known to more people.

Xiao Gourd looked at Wang Yunxiao worriedly, fearing that he would lose his mind and fall into a dead end.

"Big brother..."

"I am fine."

Wang Yunxiao smiled heartily, patted her little head, and comforted her: "Thank you for having to carry such a heavy secret all the time."

She is just like them.

"It's not hard."

Xiao Gourd chuckled: "Now it's the two of us who bear this secret together. If you leak it, brother, you know how serious the consequences will be."

Wang Yunxiao nodded, of course he knew that not everyone has such a firm willpower.Once Dumpling learns the truth, he will most likely be tortured to the point of mental breakdown, or even, to put it mildly... directly degenerate.

But even if Xiao Gourd doesn't say anything, as long as he and these brothers continue to deal with all kinds of demons and evil spirits, sooner or later they will more or less guess the truth.

As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. There is no reason why you can get wealth in vain if you go whoring for it.

Thinking of this, Wang Yunxiao said softly to Xiao Hulu: "In the future, you don't have to hold these things in your heart alone, you can tell me. Even if something goes wrong, you have to trust my judgment."

"Okay, I always believe in brother."

The little gourd shook its head and rubbed it under Wang Yunxiao's hand.

The corners of the mouth are slightly upturned.

Always, always believe in you.
