The Reiki Era of the Powerful

Chapter 387 Carp Bird: Unsolvable Situation
If it was Yanlvge who entered the "Oath Narrative", then this powerful transcendent would not need additional protection at all, and would die nonchalantly all the way to the end.

But Skoti is just a young girl who has just embarked on the path of transcendence. Even if her will can withstand the pain of death, her physical brain will send wrong signals to her body due to sensory disturbance, which in turn makes her She fell into high blood pressure, shock, endocrine disorders and other states, and eventually died.

Visions can kill.

When your brain thinks you're dead, you're dead.

For those who have not yet mastered their own bodies at the cellular level, this is a matter of will.

Fortunately, Yanlvge anticipated this in advance, and took certain protective measures for Shikoti's brain.

Therefore, the pain of death that Shikoti felt synesthetized from the carp lasted less than five seconds, and it was much relieved.

Although this feeling still gave her a splitting headache, compared to before, it seemed tolerable.

What decreases simultaneously with the pain is the authenticity of the overall perception in the "Oath Narrative".

Shikoti found that the scene in front of her eyes became blurred, like a layer of fog, and the cat meowing heard by her ears seemed not so clear, as if separated by a wall.

If her original perception was at the level of an IMAX movie, now it has become an old black and white TV with flickering snowflakes—distorted as a whole.

"I'm switched off." Yan Lige's clear voice sounded in her mind, pulling Shikoti back from the strong discomfort, "I've lowered your perception to about 10% of the original.

"Well, it can't be any lower. If it is any lower, you will automatically escape from the illusion."

Yanlvge didn't ask Shikoti again if she wanted to leave the illusion.

And Shikoti seems not to have considered this option.

The girl in the ghost state raised her head again after a brief gasp: "Okay, I see."

To be honest, she didn't expect that entering the "Oath Narrative" would be such a dangerous thing... Well, she didn't even know that after choosing to accept the inheritance oath, there would be such an immersive movie waiting for her in the future.

It's such a nuisance to have a magic weapon without an instruction manual!

Shikoti narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the flickering and jumping illusion in his blurred vision: "It seems... a transition has begun?"

The word transition is quite appropriate.

The courtyard in front of Shikoti's eyes is disappearing, and in the blink of an eye, it has been replaced by another scene.

The slightly older boy Mangula was standing in the huge alchemy formation, receiving the instruction of the elders.

There is a step in this technique that requires a lot of "tears of carps", but after Mangula attracted the carps, he did not pierce their bodies according to the standard procedure, but exchanged shiny broken diamonds for "tears of carps". Carp's Tears" and let them go.

"Why trade instead of extract?" asked the older man.

"I like carp, so I don't want to kill them." Mangula raised his neck rebelliously, "Is it not possible?"

"For you, yes. But for this country, no," said the elder.

"why?"

The elder continued: "First, 'Tears of the Carp Bird' is the cheapest material in the alchemy system. Common people use catching carp birds as a part-time job in exchange for remuneration to subsidize their families, while alchemists only need to pay a meager You can get the basic alchemy materials. If everyone exchanged precious gemstones for 'Carp Tears' like you, then the upper-level cultivation system and lower-level currency system of the Caesar Empire would collapse as a result.

"Secondly, carps have a very strong reproductive ability. A single laying of eggs can give birth to tens of thousands of offspring, and hundreds of millions of offspring can be produced within a few months. Although a carp is weak, a group of carp is quite dangerous. When the carp flock eats all the edible insects, they will pounce on strange beasts and even humans driven by hunger, and wipe out the entire forest and even the entire city. In order to prevent the occurrence of the "carp disaster", We have to get their populations under control before they destroy everything."

Mangula froze.

At that moment, even Shikoti felt his complicated emotions.

The godslayer, who was still a young man, probably never imagined that his questioning would have such an irrefutable reason.

Shikoti, who was listening in "Oath Narrative", sighed faintly: "In this way, I can understand why Gu Nishizawa encouraged the people to cull carp. If you don't usually kill them, this thing can make a 'carp' every minute Bird plague'."

"I can also understand." Yan Luge thought deeply, "Speaking of which, I thought of the invincible spirit fishes on our island, and they are born in such a way that they fill up the entire lake in three days, and the cafeteria takes them every day. Stir-frying can't compare to their reproduction speed.

"I have to say that fish are really gifted in terms of reproductive ability."

In "Oath Narration", the elder who is in charge of teaching the crown prince touched Mangula's head lovingly: "So, you can love carps, you can raise them, you can watch them, but don't try to stop others from killing them." .

"You are the future Emperor Nishizawa, you must understand that swarms of carps are the greatest disaster in the world!"

The scene turned again.

Skoti actually saw the carp that was caught by the two-tailed wild cat again.

It didn't die.

It looked a little bigger than an ordinary carp, one of its four wings was missing, and there was a long, ugly scar on its abdomen, making it not as beautiful as an ordinary carp, but rather fierce.

That day, Mangula turned back suddenly, rescued it from the mouth of the wild cat, and kept it by his side ever since, just like a pet.

At this moment, it is really entrenched in the small nest that Mangula built for it, and there are all kinds of shining gems in the nest—all of which were saved when Mangula exchanged "Carp Tears" with it.

At this moment Mangula was squatting in front of the carp's nest, staring at it: "I want 'Tears of the carp'."

The carp bird raised its head at him, as if to say: Where is the thing I want?

Mangula brought out a large plate with dazzling gemstones and small odds and ends.

But the carp just glanced at them, then buried its head, not interested in the things on the plate at all.

And Shikoti found that besides the emotions of "not interested" and "boredom" in the thoughts that arose in it, there was also a quite clear inner voice: I want human beings to stop killing carp.

Can a carp have such a clear mind? !

Shikoti was surprised.

But after a moment, she was relieved - after all, in the extraordinary world, even gold can become a spirit, so what's wrong with carp thinking?
Although the wish of this carp seems to be a concern for the country and the people.

In addition to Shikoti, Mangula also seemed to feel the carp's thoughts, with complicated thoughts on his face: "You know...it's impossible."

Carp just looked at him quietly.

"The reason why human beings continue to hunt and kill carp is to blame. You can only be blamed for being too productive." Mangula said, "Two years ago, [-] carp swallowed all the living things in Beishan. Slaughtered by cultivators.

"A year ago, 11 carps destroyed the plantations in the southern border, and flew across the border to devour the four villages of the Mauryan Dynasty. In the end, the other party had to dispatch troops to kill them.

"Three months ago, 130 million carps swam into Beina City through the underground river, forcing 1 people in the city to abandon the city and flee, forcing the ninth-level powerhouse to personally cut off the underground river and destroy the entire Beina city. The city ended the disorderly expansion of the carp flock.

"You feel sorry for the same people who were hunted and slaughtered, but for us, the carp flock is a disaster beast that must be strangled in its cradle."

This is an unsolvable situation.

The carp, which had been faintly enlightened, slowly lowered its head.

It says: Then I don't want anything.
