Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 347 The Significance of Mysticism
Joseph Lagrange glanced at the ferocious beast-like gaze in the boy's eyes, resisted his curiosity, and spoke first:

"The subject given by the professor is [investigation and research on things deeper in the world].

Judging from our current basic rules of mysticism, according to [Theorem of Median Velocity of Time]:
For the time flow of any independent space, there is at least one instant, or the instantaneous speed of a moment is equal to the average speed of time flow in the entire space——

Please note that this is the basic rule of the entire occult system we have learned, and the extraordinary world we face is based on such basic rules.

Therefore, once there is a situation contrary to this rule, it will be regarded as [non-existence] in the sense of mysticism.

And this space in front of you... please look at it. "

He took off the gold pocket watch on his chest, opened it to the dial side, and showed everyone that the watch was turning.

After everyone had seen it, he held the golden chain in his hand and placed the pocket watch in the space where the brass pipe was.

The next moment, the pocket watch suddenly stopped spinning.

His experiment clearly attracted everyone's attention.

Joseph Lagrange was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, so he continued:

"Time is stagnant, the instantaneous speed of time is 0, and the average speed is 0, which conforms to the basic rules of mysticism. Therefore, from the perspective of mysticism, this so-called [second layer of the world] can be obtained from the rules of mysticism." A plane is defined as [existence]."

Barbarossa on the side complained:
"Why is it like a joke, does it make sense..."

Chen Yan explained:
"It's not a joke, this process is meaningful: use the rules that have been fully demonstrated to prove unknown things, and you can draw corresponding conclusions."

Barbarossa expressed disdain:

"Little Jamie, don't try to frighten me."

Chen Yan ignored this ignorant guy. He thought that Barbarossa, a guy who would only sleep soundly in class, would have a hard time graduating, let alone in the next possible expedition... Chen Yan didn't I think this guy who used to be a pirate can continue to live after leaving the campus.

Immediately afterwards, when Joseph Lagrange lifted the pocket watch, the hands on the dial began to rotate again.

He lifted the pocket watch high and showed it to everyone:

"Look, everyone, after the pocket watch was taken out, the time went from 6:21 pm just now to 6:28 pm in an instant—the pocket watch experienced 7 minutes of time flow."

"I have noticed before that the attic we are in now is the [gap] between the [present world] and the [second layer of the world], and the time flow is the same as the [present world].

In other words, if the time in the attic is estimated according to the time in the normal [present world], it took less than 3 minutes from the time the pocket watch was put into the space where the [brass pipe] was located until the pocket watch was taken out. "

"I have a guess: the moment the pocket watch leaves the [Second World], which is the space of the [Brass Pipe]—time flows rapidly.

That is to say, in [the second layer of the world], that is, outside the space where the [brass pipe] is located, there is still a layer of [film], which seems to be some kind of protection mechanism for the space of the brass pipe——change time There is no more terrifying protection mechanism than this - let me make a bold guess: this is a kind of protection for the world to itself.

And the [film] outside the space of the brass pipe in front of us, the flow rate of time in it is about seven-thirds of that of the [mortal world]. "

In the crowd, Daxo, who had never spoken, suddenly said:

"But when you put the pocket watch in just now, the time on the dial didn't change."

Joseph Lagrange couldn't help grinning:

"This is the next experiment."

He showed everyone the pocket watch in normal operation again, then took the watch chain and placed the pocket watch on the second floor of the world where the brass pipes were located.

At the moment of entering the brass pipe space, the time display on the dial changed:

The time changed from 6:31 to 6:36 in an instant.

For 5 minutes, Shun disappeared.

Joseph Lagrange slowly lifted the pocket watch.

At the moment of leaving the brass pipe space, the time display on the dial changes again:
The time changed from 6:36 to 6:49 in an instant.

This time, 13 minutes actually disappeared!

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Joseph Lagrange's face was flushed, and he said to others like a speech:
"Yes! As you can see, the time to enter and exit the second-level world is not fixed!
And this phenomenon conforms to another law: [Time in the extraordinary world will only stagnate or flow forward].

I think that the time changes that occur when entering and exiting the [Second Layer World] are still regular.

Moreover, this rule must have traces to follow!
Because the world is made up of rules—we only see the manifestation of [this time-changing phenomenon] in the world, but not the internal logic and rules that exist in it.

I think that when there are enough test samples, the law of time flow in this layer of [film] existing on the brass pipe world can be summarized into a functional equation, and the relevant variables can be substituted into the calculation, and then the relevant [ The time-varying dependent variable in film]! "

When he finished speaking, Anzem, who had been silent since the infusion of holy light, suddenly spoke:
"In addition to responding to the graduation project given by the professor, what other value does such research have?"

Joseph Lagrange responded earnestly:

"The significance of occultism is to dissect the mystery in a scientific way, so that the mystery is no longer mysterious, but transformed into knowledge that humans can use.

And no matter what kind of scientific research it is—whether it is ordinary science or extraordinary science, its research is gradual. History has told us that we must advance step by step in order to go further than our predecessors. Far.

For example, today we know the secrets of the [film] covering the second world, tomorrow we can overcome the time difference caused by the [film] in a safe situation, so as to observe the brass pipes more accurately things within the world.

But this process is difficult and painful, and it may cost a lot of money and not get certain research results——

And this process itself is the meaning of our existence as scholars——

We are scholars born to study the occult. "

His expression was filled with a sense of mission that everyone at that time could not understand.

He looked at the faces of the people and said:

"And what we learn, even if it's just the [abnormal biology] subdivided from the [occultism] knowledge system framework, we must not forget the basic rules of [occultism]."

Joseph Lagrange looked at the crowd:

"My research topic is tentatively scheduled here. If you choose to move on, I will watch over here for you."

Barbarossa suddenly became serious:

"I think your subject is reliable, and let me also contribute to the great scientific research!"

Joseph only glanced at him, eyes full of contempt.

Others present, except for Chen Yan and Anzem, also expressed some disdain for him—and Barbarossa obviously knew about this, but he still showed a cheerful look all the time , I think he must be very concerned about this.

Chen Yan was helpless:
"The professor said that a subject can only be done by one person, Barbarossa, you need to find your own subject, or you will drop out of school."

Barbarossa covered his head and said in an exaggerated tone:
"What a headache!"

Except for Joseph Lagrange, led by Chen Yan, others entered the world of brass pipes one after another.

I have to say that they are really brave people. I have guarded here for many years, and I have never dared to enter the [Second World] where the brass pipes are located.

My senses told me that it was dangerous there, and there were things I couldn't deal with—the senses told me that I would die there.

I still have a mission to record everything, so I can't go in.

Fortunately, the hole opened by Anzem's holy light gun is big enough, so I can clearly see their movements in the second layer of the world, and even vaguely hear what they say.

They entered the second world, stepped on the brass pipes, and the sound coming out was very small. If you don't listen carefully, you will only feel that the sound has become an unconscious chaotic raving——

It was exactly the same as the voices that came to my ears when the Extraordinary lost control. I have heard those voices in the ears of tenants many times in the past countless years.

I strained to listen, and then I heard Victor Frankenstein speak first:

(I still can't hear his voice clearly, so I can only use the knowledge I have memorized in the past to complete his words)

"In the records of my family's history, there is a [network] in this world that can connect all people and everything together.

Extraordinary forces will always attract each other, and then meet through the [online] road-such "encounters" often appear as "complete coincidences".

If the second layer of the world is really parallel to the [present world], then the brass pipes here are another form of expression of the [network]? "

Everyone denied his statement, saying that he was completely rote. "

When seeing this, Chen Yan felt dizzy for a while.

He knew, Victor Frankenstein was right, that the world of brass pipes was indeed parallel to [this world], because it was possible for these brass pipes to reach their place in this world.

What caught his attention was another piece of information revealed by Victor:
[Extraordinary forces will always attract each other, and then meet through the [online] road - such "encounters" often appear as "complete coincidences". 】

Is this also one of the basic rules of the world?

Chen Yan recalled what he had experienced these days, and all of them somehow conformed to this rule.

He resisted the shock in his heart and continued to look down:
"When everyone lined up to move forward, a figure quietly left behind.

It was the young man named "Chai".

He took off his shoes, quietly withdrew from the team, crawled on the brass pipes like a beast, and disappeared in the cracks of countless brass pipes in a moment. "
