The centuries-old war between Britain and France. [Night Watchman] has also experienced it... It's just that as an older king, he doesn't have much interest in this kind of mutual killing between human races.
If I remember correctly, he happened to be in the Far East at that time. On the one hand, he was avoiding the war, and on the other hand, he was looking for the legendary elixir in the Far East.
But he has the right to live forever because he once made a wish to the magic lamp... What about Xie Jiatu
Naturally, he wouldn't have made a wish to the magic lamp... How did he manage to live forever? At this time, even the [Night Watchman], who was not interested in what Xie Jiatu wanted to do behind his back, was a little bit moved by Xie Jiatu's ability to live till now.
"You have lived for such a long time." [Night Watchman] shook his head: "Actually, a hundred years is enough for a person to forget many things. As for hundreds of years, even hatred will have decayed long ago... But you still seem persistent."
"Let me tell you a story." The high priest Xie Jiatu waved his hand at this moment.
On the metal wall behind him, more than a dozen grids were suddenly cracked. From these grids, drones the size of washbasins flew out slowly.
They projected laser beams through the transparent tempered glass walls, and at the moment when the laser light converged, some images unfolded in front of [Night Watchman].
A quiet mountain village slowly unfolds in front of [Night Watchman].
The voice of the high priest also sounded at this time: "This is the place where I was born... It is recorded in a peaceful town in the Kingdom of France. As you know, I was born in that era of war."
Suddenly flames shot up into the sky, and the quiet town was dyed crimson, and the flames of war began to engulf all the houses, roads... people here.
Amidst the ruins, a ten-year-old child was carrying a younger girl on his back, walking with difficulty on the streets of the charred town.
The child was barefoot, and his feet had been burned by the scorching earth... Finally, his physical strength was exhausted, and he fell to the ground.
"This is me." Pointing to the child who fell on the ground, the high priest said slowly, "Do you feel it?"
[Night Watchman] said indifferently: "It's quite pitiful, but since he lives in the age of war, it is obvious that he is not the only one who will encounter tragic things."
"I guess you would say that." The high priest smiled at this time, and he looked at the child in the image, "Obviously, I didn't think so at the time. For a child who lost all his relatives , his only thought at the time was only hatred for the whole world."
[Night Watchman] glanced at the high priest, "Now?"
"There is nothing wrong with it." The high priest said indifferently: "The progress of human civilization has always been accompanied by wars and blood... The arrival of this misfortune can only be said that I did not have enough ability to protect my family at that time...even myself , and will die at any time. So all my anger and hatred at that time were defeated by impotent rage."
[Night Watchman] said indifferently: "For this child, don't you think your point of view is too harsh."
"He needs to recognize this fact." The high priest smiled and said, "Recognize it, that is, even if he treats life gently, life will not show mercy to him."
"So?" [Night Watchman] frowned, "You plan to take revenge on life... the world?"
The high priest shook his head: "I said, there is nothing wrong with it. I was so small at that time, so I hated... But obviously not now, because as long as I want, I even have the ability to change The power of the whole world."
[Night Watchman] sneered immediately: "With this place? Oh... Or, with your means of duplicating human beings?"
"I call it [The Scale of Good and Evil]." The high priest said slowly: "I didn't copy anyone, but just separated the good and evil of people."
"[The Scale of Good and Evil]?" [The Night Watchman] couldn't help but frowned, and seemed to think of something vaguely, "You mean, Ma'at's...the Scale of Good and Evil?"
The high priest smiled slightly and said: "I think you will think of it immediately, after all, it is the king of the seventh dynasty... But it is a pity that it is still the same as the legendary [Ma'at's Libra of Good and Evil] that you know. There are some differences."
[Night Watchman]Looking at the drones suspiciously, the drones began to change to another set of images at this time.
In the image, a young man appeared, his appearance was similar to the little boy in the war before, and he was very similar to the face of the high priest standing in front of him now. This is Xie Jiatu when he was young.
The young Xiejiatu is currently in a desert... The oasis is where the oasis temple is located.
"I found this scale here." The voice of the high priest echoed in the empty room, "I touched it, and it completely separated my good thoughts and malicious thoughts... Then, I became two, At the same time, my soul also gained eternal life."
[Night Watchman] frowned deeper, he was trying to use what he saw and heard in his long life to understand what the high priest said... to judge the authenticity of this matter.
"Who is the person standing here now?" [Night Watchman] asked suddenly.
"If I say that I am kind, you will believe me." The high priest smiled at this time and said, "You may assume that I am not the kind one, but the one pretended to be malicious. So which one am I?" It doesn't matter why I'm telling you this."
"Oh?" [Night Watchman] frowned.
The high priest spread his hands and said: "I am doing a great experiment... I want to invite you to join me to complete this experiment. In a long time, you are the most special human being I have encountered! You have a long life , your knowledge is incomparably rich, and you have a strong body. You can definitely be the best assistant in this long experiment. Of course, this decision was made after you received the invitation letter and explored the Oasis Temple. The secret begins... Don't you think it's a fated thing? At first, I just wanted some great scholars, but I didn't expect you to be among them."
[Night Watchman] shook his head, obviously feeling quite helpless about this matter, but the words of the high priest made some things that he couldn't figure out before become coherent.
As early as half a year ago, after he received a mysterious invitation letter from an investor, he felt a vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart, but he himself has been searching for mysterious power for a certain purpose in his heart.
More than half a year ago, a whole team of archaeologists finally arrived at the Oasis Temple after experiencing several hardships. This temple has never appeared in the text of human history.
They almost went crazy and rushed into the temple... the beginning of it all.
[Night Watchman]Thinking of this, he suddenly turned his head and glanced behind the gate. At this time, Iben peeked furtively at the scholars who entered the temple at the time, just like Iben's current appearance.
They forgot everything and turned into puppet-like appearances. They have been in the depths of this temple, engaged in various researches, and even himself was copied by the high priest in a strange way. .
It's just that he is special after all...a human being without any special abilities except longevity.
The rich knowledge and experience allowed him to escape. Since then, he has been hiding in this city of the sun, quietly waiting for the opportunity.
Ibn... that is, Aria, because he had no knowledge, lost his memory, and was thrown into the City of the Sun to fend for himself.
The entire City of the Sun is actually under the surveillance of the High Priest. All places in the City of the Sun are equipped with cameras that can be used for surveillance, and there are even drones disguised as birds in the sky.
The entire City of the Sun is like a huge experimental field. Except for the high priest himself, everyone living here is probably a part of his experiment.
After figuring this out, [Night Watchman]... the real Mr. Otto, if he said that there was no disturbance in his heart, it would naturally be untenable. He even started to be surprised by the other party's ability to act!
Also as a human being who has gained longevity, Mr. Otto suddenly found himself really like a salted fish compared to what the high priest Xie Jiatu had done
"What exactly is the experiment you're talking about?" After a long silence, [Night Watchman] finally went straight to the topic and went to live for a long time. As he got older, many times he didn't want to understand the process of things at all. .
"I found that there is a soul in this magical scale." The high priest Xie Jiatu said with a faint look of enthusiasm at this time: "I can feel the power of this soul in the scale... It is the master of the scale, and it has something that humans cannot. The power of imagination! But it is incomplete, so it has been in a dormant state... I want to complete this incomplete soul!"
"Finished the soul?!" [Night Watchman] was slightly startled.
The theory of the soul has been a huge puzzle that cannot be solved since ancient times, whether it is the West and ancient Egypt he stayed in, or the Far East region he traveled to!
"How to make it up?" [Night Watchman] couldn't help but asked directly even though he looked so stupid when he asked the question... He even felt his own stupidity, but he still couldn't hold back a certain feeling in his heart. A thirst for knowledge just around the corner.
The long time has made his knowledge rich enough to eclipse the most outstanding scholars in the world. But even so, there are still many things in the world that he cannot unravel... The theory of soul is obviously one of them .
If the soul can be completed... If the soul can be programmed...
Resurrect... revive her!
[Night Watchman]'s gaze instantly resembled that of a beast, and this gaze was extremely aggressive... The high priest seemed to feel the obsession in the gaze of the real Mr. Otto, and couldn't help frowning: "Otto, it seems that you have There are more stories than I know so far... I am really more and more interested in you!"
"Don't talk nonsense, tell me quickly... How on earth are you going to make up for a broken soul?" [Night Watchman] Otto asked in a deep voice.
The high priest said sternly: "It's very simple, just create a perfect enough shell, and then use it as a residence for this incomplete soul! This shell is enough to make up for the incomplete part of this soul... When this perfect shell is completed, it is this incomplete soul that wakes up when."
[Night Watchman] couldn't help frowning, he pondered what the high priest said... but the eagerness in his eyes gradually cooled down.
He shook his head, "I don't know how you came up with this method, or where you got your inspiration from... But I don't think this method is feasible."
The high priest frowned.
[Night Watchman] said indifferently: "In the Far East, there is a practice called resurrection of the dead. It probably means that a dead soul is attached to the body of another dead person, and then the other dead person I was resurrected... Question: Who is this resurrected person?"
The high priest said without thinking: "His soul is the first to die, and his mind is also the first to die. I think, therefore I am... He is naturally the first. There is something inherently unchanged.”
[Night Watchman] took a deep look at the high priest: "Then, in the years to come, the first person can only survive as the second person. Because he has the appearance of the second person, and he has the appearance of the second person." What is the blood relationship belonging to the second person. Then you say, which one is he?"
"He knows it himself." The high priest snorted coldly.
"Only he himself knows." [Night Watchman] shook his head, and casually glanced at the high priest: "You won't know either."
"You are wrong." The high priest smiled and said: "What I care about is not which one it is, the point is that if the experiment itself is revived, it can prove that my approach is not wrong. It is the greatest discovery ever made by mankind."
"But what I need is not these." [Night Watchman] shook his head: "What I need is a definite, real, and unique soul."
He and the high priest looked at each other... confronted.
After a long time, the high priest let out a sigh of relief: "I always make some last-ditch efforts, but often such efforts are in vain... Otto, how I wish you could understand me."
[Night Watchman] Didn't speak... The good conversation is almost over here. He concentrated, his whole body tensed up, and then he raised the carbon fiber black knife in his hand. I'm afraid he won't have a good time in the future.
Generally, at this time, there is probably only one result left.
"Don't worry, I never kill people." The high priest shook his head: "I hate to let a life disappear... But you will have a long period of time without knowing who you are, and you will also become a nutrient for the growth of this shell."
After all, the high priest clapped his hands... The surrounding metal walls suddenly split piece by piece, and guards in white robes were seen slowly walking out of the cracked entrances one by one.
They approached [Night Watchman] Otto step by step... At the same time, their bodies began to undergo some strange changes, as if something was about to burst out of their bodies.
