Chapter 32 The Eight Diagrams and the Laplace Demon
Regarding the communication work of "Laplace's Demon", there have been some objections, but after some controversy, the majority of people still agree.
He stood up from the chair, put his hands behind his back, and left the room.
The slightly hunched body walked through the corridor and passed through the brightly lit basement corridor. Not far away stood a huge copper pillar, towering into the clouds, called the "Tianzhu", which was also the pillar that supported the sky in the mythology of the ancient Xia Kingdom.
The "Tianzhu" can be regarded as a strange object with supernatural properties. People near it can be protected from the invasion of some supernatural forces.
April in Kunlun Mountain seems a bit cold. The temperature dropped below zero degrees Celsius in the second half of the night, and a thick layer of frost formed on the grass.
In addition to the Black Guards, the Great Xia Kingdom also has another supernatural research institution - the Great Academy of Sciences.
Compared with the prosperous major science academies with many young people, the traditional black-clad organization is deserted.
But this is fine. The Black Guards themselves should spend their colorful lives in an isolated and lonely environment. People who long for fame and wealth are not suitable to join the Black Guards. They are more suitable to go to the big school next door.
Academy of Sciences.
【Identity confirmed.】
After iris and fingerprint scanning, the steel door in the basement opened automatically.
Standing at the gate is a tall human-shaped stone statue, about 3.4 meters in height, weighing 900 kilograms, with red phoenix eyes and lying silkworm eyebrows. It looks dignified and majestic.
When he saw the person coming, the sword in the stone statue's hand shook slightly, and his body made a "rumbling" sound, and then quickly returned to calm.
Some guards based on supernatural powers are sometimes more reliable than humans.
The room on the left contains odd numbers such as one, three, five, seven, and nine; the room on the right contains even numbers such as two, four, six, eight, and ten.
The strange objects here are all the heritage accumulated by the Black Guards over thousands of years.
There is no special decoration in the room, just an old table and a chair.
A simple turtle shell is placed on the table. The complex patterns on its surface alone imply that it is extraordinary.
The legendary "Bagua Diagram" is engraved on the back of the "Godly Turtle".
Not all weird things are malicious to humans. "Turtles" are a representative of good intentions.
All life has its own lifespan limit, including weirdness. Weirdness with thinking will often die due to aging; weirdness without thinking has a certain possibility of immortality.
"Although the turtle has a long life, it still has its time."
The divine tortoise, which showed kindness to humans, died during the Three Kingdoms period, leaving only a tortoise shell with mysterious supernatural power for future generations to predict.
Divining supernatural things will bring serious spiritual backlash, but with the Bagua chart, all the backlash will be borne by the turtle shell.
Over thousands of years, there have been more and more cracks on the turtle shell of the Bagua diagram, and it may break at any time, so every divination is precious.
The question he wanted to predict was very rough: "Will the appearance of the unknown demon be good or bad for Daxia?"
The definition of good and bad is very vague, and he only asks for a rough answer.
As for other countries and regions, we can’t control so much.
After a while, the turtle shell made a soft "snap" sound and cracked a gap!
The results are out.
lucky!!
Why is it lucky again?!
This is the second time, and the result is consistent with his own divination using copper coins.
Does the appearance of this demon seem to be beneficial to humans?
It is also beneficial to Daxia.
Why is it "吉"?
He frowned in thought, not completely believing the result.
After all, divination is only an auxiliary means.
Everything depends on human effort. If you think that pie will fall in the sky just because a result is "auspicious", that would be a big mistake.
…
Immediately afterwards, he came to Room 12 on the fifth underground floor.
In this room, there is an ordinary and primitive stool, which looks like a small wooden bench.
But anyone who sits on this stool can communicate with the legendary "Laplace's Demon"!
"Laplace's Demon", an unknown life form with suspicious behavior, is suspected to exist in a special parallel world.
It is the legendary-"omniscient and omnipotent life".
But it pursues more fresh and interesting information.
All information related to human civilization is transaction content.
Humans cannot judge its true intentions. For now, it seems to be able to communicate equally.
However, through the calculation of the Bagua chart, it is believed that the transaction process with the "Laplace Demon" will be "unfortunate", and long-term communication will be "bigly unlucky"!
In other words, it may hide some unknown malicious intent.
But humans can't judge what its malicious intent is...
A vague murmur suddenly appeared in my mind, as if it was an old-fashioned robot making a human-like voice.
This wonderful language forms a consciousness in the mind: Do you want to be omniscient and omnipotent?!
A fatal temptation that allows people to gain insight into everything appears in the heart: as long as you want to become omniscient and omnipotent, you can trade information, you can trade souls, you can trade everything!
He muttered in his mind: "Take away the photos of [Smiling Dog] from the memory hard drive."
"This is unique supernatural information. There is no second copy in the world. You should know how rare it is. The rest, you cannot take away."
The next moment, part of the memory hard drive hidden in his brain was missing.
The memory of [Smiling Dog] disappeared immediately.
Now, I can't remember what the "Smiling Dog" looks like.
He only knows that "Smiling Dog" has become a noun in a simple sense. This has happened in history, but no one knows what the so-called "cursed photo" looks like.
"Now tell me, [its] true intention." "You should know what [it] I am referring to is. What does it want to do to the human world? Who is it?"
