"You'll find out soon enough," Aaron said.
After they reached the sixth underground floor, they walked into an ordinary corridor like a hotel corridor among countless branch intersections. Finally, Bai Yan saw an unguarded "0000" room at the end of the corridor.
The light red door deep in the silent corridor was covered with classical patterns, and Bai Yan could feel a silent sense of oppression.
"The most important thing about the Anti-Demon Bureau that I just mentioned is here. Come in together. You will definitely feel something after watching it."
Aaron opened the door and entered, followed closely by Bai Yan. After entering the door, his eyes were immediately attracted!
White.
This is a huge space of pure white, so big that it is almost endless, and there is no end in sight...
Bai Yan even felt that this might be a small world.
In the center of the huge pure white space, there is a square white boulder with line after line of pure black text engraved on it.
It's huge!
Bai Yan could strongly feel that the hugeness of this white stone was larger than its physical size. It was something bigger than mountains and the sea. It seemed that the concept of "future" was engraved on it.
Nothing is bigger than the future.
What is it
"This is a civilization-level relic, the Book of Prophecy."
Aaron turned his head and said: "Actually, every night watcher has a benefit. Once in his life, he can ask the prophecy book for a prophecy about himself for free."
"Bai Yan, what do you want to ask?"
Retinal laser surgery, long leave
My eyes hurt, then conjunctivitis, and then after I put drops on my eyes, it still hurts, and my vision is blurred. Today I had a follow-up examination and found a retinal tear in my right eye.
I just came back from surgery and am on a long leave. I will be back to work in a week to a month.
Friday’s big bookshelf, essay prize selection, and half-year award are all gone. Alas, it’s sad and a heavy loss.
I hope that when I come back, the follow-up order will not be lost... woo woo woo.
Complicated feelings.
Will be officially updated in about half a month
1. I’ve almost finished listening to Yue Yunpeng’s cross talk, and I really want to play games... I’d like to ask for recommendations on interesting radio stations or live broadcasts.
2. I’ll have a re-examination next Friday. It turns out that the location of the hole is just at the edge of the eye, so it’s fine. The main thing is that I can’t do strenuous exercise for a few months and open the hole. I can almost resume normal use of my eyes in two weeks.
3. The medicine for conjunctivitis hurts like a needle. I can't open my eyes. I don't know if it's an allergy. I feel that the bloodshotness is getting worse. I don't dare to continue using it for the time being.
4. The accuracy of phonetic coding is very low. I asked my family to help me when dictating. I have almost finished writing a chapter and will upload it tomorrow.
5. I have lost a thousand collections, and I have mixed feelings. After this book was put on the shelf, the number of orders was more stable than the previous books.
6. Candid photography benefits
Chapter 53 Death and the Seed of Enlightenment
prophecy
After hearing what Aaron said, Bai Yan was slightly stunned.
The huge white stone in front of me is actually a magical relic that can predict the future... It's too big to steal.
"You said that everyone can ask the prophecy a question, so why don't the superiors use us to find those heinous criminals?"
Bai Yan asked a little confusedly, does this kind of authority actually allow the grassroots to exercise freely? Something doesn't feel right.
Aaron calmly explained: "Our question can only ask about our own destiny, and the Anti-Demon Bureau cannot use it... If you want to ask who the leader of Black Star is, or ask about the behind-the-scenes of the Tower of Babel, Black hands will need to pay an extra price.”
"Or maybe you were injured by someone from Black Star, and then you asked where the person who hurt you was, and you had to pay an extra price... This thing is very stingy."
It turns out that Bai Yan understood a lot about the rules of judging the prophecy book, but there was still one thing that was not very clear.
As long as you use the relic, you must pay a price, this is the rule.
So... what is the cost of their questions
"I know what you are thinking. The rule that you must pay a price for using relics will not change. Our price... has already been paid by others."
When Aaron said this, his expression gradually became solemn, he paused and continued: "Don't say the following words outside."
Bai Yan nodded like a good baby, "Yeah, I will never tell anyone else, I'll give you four."
Aaron said slowly: "The price for frequent use of the prophecy book is exactly what the people of the city we protect pay... In return, it will help us predict most extraordinary criminal events. As for the question of our own destiny, , which is part of the reward for the extra cost.”
"We can use the prophecy for 100 years, but the price is that every citizen and descendant will lose 100 days of life."
Bai Yan was stunned for a moment and immediately realized the seriousness of this matter.
Once this kind of thing is exposed, the public will be excited. The precious lifespan of themselves and their descendants will be silently taken away, but they never have the right to know.
Well, there are definitely some people who can’t understand it.
Bai Yan didn't know what to say about what the Demon Enforcement Bureau had done for the sake of order.
He knew that this city was in trouble, and the prophecy must have provided a lot of help. If it was not used, the order would probably be broken in a short time.
"I don't know what you think, but as far as I know, the prophecy book has allowed us to stop more than half of the special crimes. All the criminals and cultists we captured have been provided with favorable intelligence by the prophecy book."
"It even warned of a second major event that could lead to the destruction of the city."
Aaron looked serious, and he obviously agreed with the Anti-Demon Bureau's approach.
Bai Yan nodded, noncommittal.
He also made a similar decision in the plot of the Darkening Demon Bureau in the Tower of Babel.
It's just that some high-level officials were bewitched by otherworldly gods and went to terrible extremes, which ultimately resulted in serious consequences without them knowing it.
Aaron clapped his hands and said:
"The topic is a bit far off topic. Let's go back to the original question. Every night watcher has the opportunity to ask a question about his own destiny. Bai Yan, what do you want to ask?"
Bai Yan immediately asked: "Wait a minute, I want to refer to it, what is it you are asking about?"
Aaron's expression became less good.
"The question I asked was boring and I regret it now because it makes no sense at all."
He paused and said, "My question is who am I going to be."
"Lest you ask, the answer the prophecy gave me... I will be the one who saves the world."
When Aaron said this, he smiled and pretended to be confident, as if he felt very proud, but there was also a hint of confusion.
When it comes to saving the world, I can’t steal my mobile game from you, right? Bai Yan complained in his heart, and immediately laughed and joked: "Then it seems that the prophecy book has lost its accuracy. Compared with you being able to save the world, I would rather believe that you stay safe and blush when you see beautiful women."
"Haha." Aaron narrowed his eyes, too lazy to argue.
After teasing, Bai Yan began to seriously think about what questions he wanted to ask.
First of all, we can't talk about things related to the Tower of Babel. If you expose yourself in front of Aaron, you can't explain it clearly.
Secondly, the things you want to ask should be meaningful... What kind of person you will become, this kind of thing is not very meaningful.
And knowing who you will become is boring.
As for where the leader of the Black Star Society is hiding, or how he suddenly became the strongest transcendent, the answer is obviously not available.
The answer may be "dream".
Aaron looked at the brooding man silently, feeling very curious.
"How about it?"
"I've made my decision."
Bai Yan nodded slightly, walked forward slowly, and stood in front of the white boulder.
The huge, pure white square stone contains a concept that is larger than its physical size, giving Bai Yan the illusion that he must look up.
He said calmly: "I want to know... when will I die?"
Aaron was slightly startled that this was the question.
In fact he thought about asking the same thing.
The white boulder gradually fluctuated, and on the side facing Bai Yan, a line of black font slowly appeared.
"You will die surrounded by people."
Bai Yan was stunned for a while, then couldn't help but turn around and said:
"That's... in a sense, it's like there's no answer."
Aaron shrugged his shoulders and said: "Most prophecies are like this, full of... riddles."
Bai Yan shook his head, but he already remembered the answer in his heart.
It's not a useless answer. In this case... I might have the opportunity to proactively plan my own death.
Yes, this is the purpose of Bai Yan asking this question.
Controlling one's own death is equivalent to being able to plan one's own resurrection.
Aaron suddenly became serious and said:
"Next, I will fulfill my promise, Bai Yan."
He held out a hand.
"There are many ways for mortals to become extraordinary. According to incomplete statistics, there are 17 safe ways known to Noah."
"The seed of enlightenment is the easiest path for me to help you find at the moment."
Aaron's expression was full of sincerity and solemnity. Becoming an extraordinary person may not be a good thing, but he always believed that this path was suitable for the man in front of him.
Bai Yan subconsciously looked at the palm of the other person's hand, which was a dark brown seed in the shape of a bodhi seed, the size of a quail egg.
Bai Yan had a subtle and strange feeling in his heart. He was the savior of the Tower of Babel and could control the powerful "Night Blade" and "Psychic Dancer", but he was actually an ordinary person.
Now, finally take the first step to become an official transcendent.
The subtle contrast made Bai Yan unable to recover for a moment. Aaron thought he was too surprised or too excited, so he was not surprised.
Bai Yan suddenly asked calmly: "How to use this? Since you have made it this far, I won't refuse. I will treat you to dinner another day."
"You're so rude... It's meaningless for extraordinary people to hold it, but as long as ordinary people touch it, they will initially understand their own nature and catch it!"
Aaron suddenly waved his hand and threw the Seed of Enlightenment, and Bai Yan subconsciously reached out to catch it.
When his hand touched the seed, everything changed.
Everything in front of him collapsed and collapsed, and everything ceased to exist. He soon saw a black, rich and bottomless darkness.
This was a familiar fog that Bai Yan had seen time and time again in the video.
Is this who I am
In this dark mist, he felt a strong sadness from the past. In a daze, faint tears flowed from the corners of his eyes but he didn't know the reason.
Suddenly, familiar and unfamiliar figures flashed past Bai Yan through the black mist.
who are they
Before he could detect the source of his sadness and see the faces of those figures clearly, everything fell apart again and disappeared.
Bai Yan found that there was a piece of white earth under his feet, and there were ten bright golden suns in the sky.
He felt a kind of ruthlessness and indifference, as if he was no longer himself, but he also didn't know the underlying reason.
He subconsciously realized that this was the Tower of Babel.
In the end, Bai Yan returned to the original world, Aaron, the white room, and the huge stone called the Book of Prophecy. Everything remained unchanged.
Everything just now was like an illusion, as if it had never happened.
Aaron stood in front of him and said: "What you see is the essence of the multiverse you are based on. It may be extremely bizarre and unimaginable, but you have to start from here."
"When this seed blossoms, you will become a true transcendent."
