Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 178 Glass Cabinet of Truth

"Ah."

On the divine cauldron.

The shadow transformed by Li Xiu responded and continued, "Although this glass cabinet will burn liars to death, compared to its positive effects, the side effects are quite insignificant."

"Positive effects?"

Xie Shen was puzzled and said, "Since the glass cabinet will burn anyone who enters it, then isn't the lie detector test just a joke?"

"After all, people were burned to death."

"Even if we can find out that everything he said before was a lie, what's the point?"

"Except for us Earthlings who can be resurrected infinitely and use the glass cabinet at will."

"The humans on other alien planets can't use this thing at all, right?"

"You misunderstood." Li Xiu explained: "The real purpose of this glass cabinet is not to detect lies, but to verify the truth."

Verify the truth?

Xie Shen was startled when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

"See for yourself!"

Li Xiu didn't say anything more, but just transferred a small mobile hard drive to Xie Shen through the Shendao Ding.

The latter took out a personal terminal from his storage bag and played the contents of the videotape.

Through the projection generated by the terminal, Xie Shen can see:

Li Xiu in the picture was standing next to a glass cabinet that was more than half a person's height.

He said to the researchers around him expressionlessly: "Then the experiment has officially begun. Please cooperate."

As he spoke, he squatted down and bent over to enter the glass cabinet.

next second.

All he heard was a researcher asking Li Xiu, "Were you born on Earth?"

"Yes." Li Xiu responded decisively.

'Ding'!
The moment the answer was given, a crisp bell rang from the glass cabinet.

I saw green light flashing on the glass cabinet again.

After seeing the scene before his eyes, a researcher said while recording: "The first test was successfully completed."

"The subject gave the correct answer when answering the question."

“The glass case rang crisply and flashed green light.”

"So."

He continued: "Next, let's start the second experiment."

——So far, the content of the videotape is relatively normal, and Xie Shen did not feel any waves in his heart after watching it.

But soon, everything began to develop in an unexpected direction.

in the projection screen.

The researcher asked Li Xiu: "Do unspeakable creatures really exist?"

"Yes." Li Xiu answered without hesitation.
'Ding'!
At this moment, the sound of a bell rang again in the glass cabinet, and green light kept flashing.

——This shows that indescribable creatures do exist, even though humans cannot see them with the naked eye.

Seeing this, Xie Shen was a little surprised and asked, "The glass cabinet can actually be used like this? It's not just limited to lie detection?"

"That's right!" Li Xiu responded, "Not only can it detect lies, this glass cabinet can also be used to verify various truths in the universe."

Li Xiu on the Shinto Ding had just finished speaking.

Then the researcher on the projection screen said to Li Xiu again: "For the sake of convenience, I decided to name this glass cabinet the 'Glass Cabinet of Truth'."

"So," he inquired, "is the Glass Cabinet of Truth omniscient?"

Li Xiu answered without hesitation: "Yes."

'drop'!
This time, there was no bell ringing in the glass case of truth, but instead a shrill alarm sounded.

Then, countless blazing flames began to appear out of thin air in the glass case.

The flames burned Li Xiu and soon burned him to ashes.

——Don’t be fooled by the fact that Li Xiu had a calm expression on his face and didn’t even blink when he was burned to death.

But Xie Shen was very clear in his mind:
Li Xiu can actually feel pain, but because he does not have emotions, he is unable to express it.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen couldn't help but said to Li Xiu: "You are really cruel, Li Xiu."

"In order to use the glass cabinet of truth, you actually used yourself as a test subject."

"Although you can revive infinitely with the resurrection spell."

"But the pain of being burned to death by fire is not something that everyone can endure."

On the divine cauldron.

The black shadow transformed by Li Xiu did not say much, but just said to Xie Shen lightly: "This is just..."

Before he could finish his words, Xie Shen answered, "It's just a necessary sacrifice? Right? I knew you were going to say that!"

Li Xiu remained silent and said no more.

Seeing that he was silent, Xie Shen asked again: "Speaking of which, why don't you let the monks in as experimental subjects? Logically speaking, monks should not be afraid of fire, right?"

"It's useless." Li Xiu replied: "The flame released by the real glass is not real fire, but a force related to cause and effect."

"To put it simply, it will inflict a state of 'being burned by fire' on the liar's body."

"This state cannot be counteracted by any means."

"Even monks can't avoid it."

The power of cause and effect?

After hearing this, Xie Shen said no more and just continued to watch the screen projected on the terminal.

on the screen.

In the laboratory.

After the researchers used the resurrection technique to revive Li Xiu, under the respectful gaze of everyone, Li Xiu entered the glass cabinet of truth again with an expressionless face.

The researcher asked again, "The Glass Cabinet of Truth will burn you to death in the next second, right?"

"Yes, I will die." Li Xiu responded.

The questions raised by the researchers are very interesting.

This is a paradox:

If Li Xiu's answer of "I will die" is a lie, then he will live.

But according to the operating logic of the Glass Cabinet of Truth, it should burn the lying Li Xiu to death.

This contradicts Li Xiu's lie.

The same reason.

If Li Xiu's answer of "will die" is true, then he will die.

But according to the operating logic of the glass cabinet of truth, it should not burn Li Xiu who told the truth.

This would also contradict Li Xiu's truth.

In this way, the Glass Cabinet of Truth is logically inconsistent.

Affected by this paradox.

The glass cabinet of truth first released a scorching flame, burning Li Xiu to death in front of countless people.

Then, Li Xiu's body inexplicably reappeared in the glass cabinet.

——In order to make his logic self-consistent, the glass cabinet brought Li Xiu back to life after killing him.

"This"

Xie Shen said in disbelief: "The resurrection spell is not the only one that can revive humans. How can the Glass Cabinet of Truth also do that?"

"Yes." Li Xiu replied: "In the process of resurrecting me in the Truth Glass Cabinet, the researchers around me used countless instruments and equipment to try to analyze the principle behind it."

"But just like the resurrection spell, the resurrection ability of the Glass Cabinet of Truth is also unreasonable."

"From a scientific point of view, it is impossible to trace the cause." Li Xiu concluded: "The Glass Cabinet of Truth is the second thing we have encountered so far that has the ability to revive humans, besides resurrection magic."

“And the glass cabinet of truth happened to be discovered in the shared library.”

"So I have every reason to suspect that resurrection may also be related to the shared library."

“That library has extremely high research value.”

"I understand." Xie Shen said to Li Xiu, "So you want me to do everything I can to get the shared library?"

"Yes." Li Xiu added: "In addition to the shared library, the scientist cultivation system on Zhiyu Star also has extremely high development value."

"After studying the three cultivation techniques you gave me, I am now a junior scientist."

"With the use of endless energy, I am now able to create a lot of high-tech equipment."

"For example?" Xie asked with great interest.

"For example, this set of nano armor." Li Xiu used the Shendao Ding to transfer a small round metal ball to Xie Shen's hands.

He explained: "Inputting a little spiritual energy or black mist can activate the metal ball."

"After being activated, the metal ball can cover the user's body surface and form a set of nano armor."

"Of course."

Li Xiu added: "Like other endless energy equipment, this nano armor also has a limit on the number of uses."

"This armor will become useless after two uses."

"In addition, the armor will cause a very small amount of pollution during use."

As a cultivator in the God Transformation Stage, Xie Shen does not need this armor to improve his combat power.

But this is also a piece of equipment after all. In an emergency, it may be used to deal with unexpected needs.

Thinking of this, Xie Shen casually put the metal ball into his storage bag.

He then asked, "Didn't I give you two incredible things in total?"

"Just a glass case and the other one is a glass jar."

"So, have you figured out the function of that glass jar?"

"The glass jar you gave me can store people's memories." Li Xiu replied: "In view of this purpose, I would like to call it a 'memory storage jar'."

"Storing memories?" Xie Shen said disappointedly, "Isn't that just like the jade slips that we cultivators often use? It doesn't seem to be that valuable, right?"

Li Xiu said: "Although this memory storage tank can't really be used in many places, its side effects are really interesting."

"What are the side effects?" Xie Shen asked curiously.

Li Xiu said: "Anyone who uses the glass jar will forget the memories stored in it."

"For example, you store the memory of a certain person in the glass jar."

"Then everything you've experienced with him will be forgotten."

"This ability is a bit strange." Xie Shen thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it will come in handy in the future!"

That’s all for this conversation.

Li Xiu finally said: "With the glass cabinet of truth, combined with the spell of resurrection, we can easily know the answers to almost all judgment questions in the universe."

"This will bring a qualitative leap forward to the overall technological level of the people on Earth."

"In view of this, I will focus on studying the glass cabinet of truth in the next period of time."

After saying this, Li Xiu cut off contact with Xie Shen.

...

At this time, Xie Shen had been in the shared library for a full 6 days.

He can stay here for up to one day.

After realizing that time was running out, Xie Shen stopped practicing the "Endless Energy and Moving Body" technique.

He turned and began to search around in the library, hoping to find more books or props that would be useful to him.

that's it.

The last day passed in a flash.

On the seventh day, the futuristic door appeared in the center of the first floor of the library.

Not long after the door appeared, Niu Lao's voice was heard coming from outside the door.

"Geng Huan, can you hear me?"

"Listen."

"People from the church have surrounded our Academy of Sciences and have specifically asked to see you."

Mr. Niu speaks very fast.

He briefly explained the current situation to Xie Shen: "The people from the church are about to rush into the basement, so I will keep it short."

"First, your father and his family."

"I have arranged for them to escape through the secret passage in advance, so you don't have to worry."

"And then there's yourself."

Mr. Niu continued.

"You now have two choices."

"First, just stay in the library."

"This way, you won't be caught by the church, but you will be trapped in the library forever."

"The second is to surrender and be taken away by the church."

Niu Laoyue's tone was also excited.

It seemed as if people from the church might rush forward at any moment.

He said anxiously: "Geng Huan, if you don't say anything I will assume that you don't plan to come out."

"I'll wait for one last minute."

"If I can't find you, I'll just blow up the entire basement."

"This way, the secret of the library door won't fall into the hands of the church."

Inside the underground secret room of the Academy of Sciences.

Just when Old Niu took out the explosives made with endless energy, intending to destroy everything together.

Xie Shen suddenly pushed the door open and walked out of the shared library.

After learning that someone from the church was coming, he did not show any panic, but instead showed an expression of interest.

He asked curiously, "By the way, how did the people in the church know I was here?"

Seeing Xie Shen walking out of the library calmly, Niu Lao was stunned for a moment before answering.

"The reason the church knows you're here is probably because of Kesun."

"I heard that the church's only supreme god, Ksun, has the ability to predict the future."

"it"

In the basement.

Before Niu Laohua could say anything, he heard a loud roar coming from the entrance of the basement.

As the voice rang out, countless witches in mixed-color linen skirts and missionaries in black robes rushed into the secret room.

They were lined up in two orderly rows, leaning against the walls on both sides.

But one of the missionaries came forward and said politely to Xie Shen: "Savior, let me introduce myself."

"My name is Yufang, and I'm a senior missionary in the church."

"This time, I am here on the orders of Lord Ksun to invite you, the Savior, to be a guest in our church."

"Kersun's order?"

Xie Shenben had always believed that Kesun was an indescribable native creature on the planet Zhiyu.

But now it seems that is not the case.

Xie Shen looked at the missionary named Yu Fang and asked with interest: "So the Lord Kesun you just mentioned, is he a human or some other creature? Is it because of Kesun's prophecy that you were able to come here and find me?"
