mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 455 Fascinating Lamp and Demon Codex
[I shot, shot the figure's lantern instead of just hitting him in the vitals, which proved useless. 】

[The figure is like mud, but the lantern is very brittle. I only shot one shot, and the lantern shattered. 】

[The figure retreats quickly. 】

[I saw panic in his only one eye. 】

Zhao Chuanxin was moved and wrote:
[Now, my brother and I are shooting at the figure with all our strength. 】

[The figure's body trembled, and his only eye was smashed by us. 】

[A howl came from his mouth. 】

【He suddenly begged for mercy: Don't hurt me, I was just kind. 】

[We stop. 】

[The figure continued: If you want to pass through the path of hell and reach the Demon Throne, you need to answer my question no matter what, otherwise you will not be able to pass even if it brings me endless pain. 】

Zhao Chuanxin sneered: If you don't eat a toast, you will be fined.

He wrote:

[I continued to shoot until he was subdued. 】

This is Captain Zhao's character.

however.

[I didn't continue to shoot, I was going to listen to his questions. 】

Fake!

Zhao Chuanxin was furious and wished to replace him.

[Shadow asks: Stranger, do you look at me like a human or a demon? 】

[I have two options:

One, he is human.

Two, he is like a demon.

The consequences of choices are unpredictable. 】

Dogs are yellow-skinned, right?

Zhao Chuanxin thought with the three in the diary.

[I'm really embarrassed, this question is really strange, I can't relate to the consequences. 】

"I" was confused, but Zhao Chuanxin was sober.

Huang Pizi asked "Like a man or like a god", no matter how he answered, he couldn't please him.

If the answer is like a human being, its cultivation will be abolished.

So it will make people feel uneasy.

If the answer is like a god, it will ascend to immortality, and people will have to accept karma to atone for their sins.

Bad to pus!

So he wrote in anger:

[I said: I think you look like a piece of donkey dung that fell off a cliff and broke half of it. Two words describe it-rolling ball! 】

[The figure has a surprised expression on his face. 】

【I bypassed him and continued forward with the siblings.With bright lanterns, I am not afraid of losing my way. 】

[But it was clear that he was taking a new path, but after a short while, a figure appeared in front of him and blocked the path. 】

【His eye became intact, and the lantern in his hand returned to its original state.Moreover, the paper crane landed on his shoulder right now. 】

Zhao Chuanxin began to find it difficult.

Dog things linger.

This mission is definitely the weirdest one.

[The figure said: I am the night watchman of the path to hell.

Stranger, as I said, you must answer my questions to pass. 】

[I know I have to answer him. 】

[If I say he looks like a demon, he really has become a demon, are we still his opponents?
If I say he looks like a human being, but if his original intention is to become a demon, will he take revenge on us afterwards? 】

[I turned around and asked my brothers and sisters: Is there anything else you can do? 】

Zhao Chuanxin knew why "I" asked the brothers and sisters.

The brother and sister seem to be weak, but they are not. The elder brother is like an invincible Xiaoqiang who can save himself from danger every time.

The younger sister has a bag of treasures, and even Zhao Chuanxin is curious about what other treasures are contained in it.

[The two brothers and sisters shake their heads. 】

【I sighed and said to the night watchman: I don't want to hurt you because of the wrong answer, you continue to guard here, and hope that one day you will achieve your wish. 】

Zhao Chuanxin secretly praised: Good boy.

【Unexpectedly, the night watchman shook his head: I have been waiting here for too long. It is the devil's will that this page brings you here. I cannot miss it. 】

[I asked: So, how do you want me to answer? 】

[The night watchman continued to shake his head: It must be your own idea. 】

【The face of the night watchman showed anticipation, but I was in a dilemma. I really didn't know how to answer, because I couldn't tell what he was expecting. I think that person must have a way. 】

that one?

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback for a moment, he was talking about himself.

He got up from the bed, took out the pen and paper, spread it on the table, and began to draw a mind map with the pencil.

One side is becoming a demon, and the other side is an adult.

The Night's Watch and the Path to Hell are intersections.

There are two directions, the Night's Watch wants to become a demon or an adult.

Based on the analysis of the situation here and now, the night watchman should want to become a demon.

He has a human form, so it's highly likely that he was once human.

Maybe he wanted to achieve some purpose, came here and became a night watchman.

Seeing that half of his body has melted, he has been here for a long time and suffered a lot of torture.

Thinking about it in his own shoes, if Zhao Chuanxin lived alone in a place where nothing shit happened, he would go crazy.

Even if the goal has not been achieved, he would rather turn back into a human being.

Reasoning until now, has he become a night watchman and still sticks to his previous wishes?
Zhao Chuanxin began to recall the words of the night watchman.

He said that only after answering can he pass, which is an affirmative sentence.

If you can only pass if you choose the right one, then he may subconsciously answer vaguely and confusedly, for example: only by answering can you hope to pass.

If you can pass anyway, then Zhao Chuanxin chooses:
[I choose him to be human! 】

[The night watchman showed surprise on his face. 】

[Then there is an expression of relief. 】

【His body begins to melt completely, spreading upwards from his feet. 】

[The night watchman smiled and said: Stranger, perhaps you should be called the fearless pioneer of the city-state.I was neither human nor demon before, but now that I am an adult, I am about to die.Death is a relief to me.

You can put away the ecstasy lamp in my hand.

The page on my shoulder, it's a page from the Devil's Code.

It will lead you to the Demon Throne. 】

[I got the enchanting lamp and how to use it. 】

Zhao Chuanxin simultaneously received the message from the Miracle Lamp.

His expression was slightly astonished.

【I watched the night watchman's body melt and spread to his chest, and asked him hastily: If I chose you to be like a demon, what would happen? 】

[The night watchman laughed: If I become a demon, I will lose my mind, most of you are not my opponents, you will be killed by me. 】

A chill came to Zhao Chuanxin's heart.

From this incident, he figured out why the fooling technique appeared.

If you are not sure whether the opponent will hurt you after becoming stronger, the best way is to make the opponent weak forever.

Whatever the cost.

This is why people hate nouveau riche who suddenly gain power and money.

Because you are not sure whether he will expand the shadow in his heart and eventually become a demon.

[I said angrily: Then why do you say that we can only pass if we choose? 】

[At this time, the night watchman had already melted down to his jaw, and he spoke in the last moment: Because you were killed by me, you will become the next night watchman, of course you will pass. 】

[I was afraid after a while. 】

[At this time, the night watchman completely melted.The paper crane flew over and landed on my shoulder. 】

[The paper crane combs its wings with a sharp beak, like a real living thing. 】

[I said: Lead the way ahead. 】

[The paper crane flaps its wings and flies forward. 】

【We rode the Creation of War and followed behind. 】

[I use the ecstasy lamp to absorb the surrounding fog.On both sides of the hell path, there are dense bones.There are human bones, elves' bones, various animal bones, fallen towering giant trees, and various dry plants. 】

[It's just that there is still a faint black mist floating above us, which is an existence that the ecstasy lamp cannot absorb. The black mist covers the sky and blocks the sun, so this place will always look like night. 】

【The paper crane takes us to an empty place. 】

[I didn't see the Demon Throne, but there was something like an altar. 】

[Above the altar, there is a thick book floating, the cover is as black as the night. 】

[The book is opened, but there are missing teeth, and many pages are missing. 】

[The paper crane on my shoulder seemed to be attracted by the book, it flew over, unfolded automatically, changed from the paper crane to a page, and fell back into the book. 】

[I walk like a book, looking down. 】

[At this time, words suddenly appeared on the page: Interesting. 】

Zhao Chuanxin felt inexplicably familiar.

Isn't that what diaries are for?

[Writings continue to appear on the page: Are you a puppet?No, you have a consciousness of your own. 】

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly shuddered.

[Book page: Huh?Someone behind you is watching you.Hehe, hello, Gazer.Or, can I call you the Old Gods? 】

Zhao Chuanxin's forehead began to sweat.

"Devil's Code" is not talking to "I", but talking to Zhao Chuanxin.

But through its few words, Zhao Chuanxin guessed that it didn't know its true identity.

At least Zhao Chuanxin knew that he was not the old god.

He tentatively wrote:
【Can you see me talking? 】

[Book page: Yes.I thought that the old gods had all fallen into a deep sleep for the sake of the continuation of the human world.It seems that the old god who is unwilling to be lonely and wants to monitor everything has awakened. 】

This guy is wrong.

Zhao Chuanxin had no idea what he was talking about, so he could only bite the bullet and write:
[Tell me, what does biological remnants have to do with you? 】

Since biological remnants have created biological intelligence, existences with super-intelligent quotients like weirdos and goblins can't understand biological intelligence.

The weirdo thinks that biological intelligence is related to the "Code of Demons", so Zhao Chuanxin can only use a trick of "throwing stones to ask for directions" to try it out.

However, this sentence exposed him.

[Book page: Oh, I was wrong, you are not the old god.If you were an old god, you wouldn't ask this question, because you know the relationship between biological remnants and me. 】

Zhao Chuanxin wrote:

[Maybe I have been asleep for too long, and I can't remember many things clearly. 】

[Book page: This is also possible.However, I still think you are not the old god, because no matter how many things you forget, at least you will not forget me, and you will immediately clamor to die with me. 】

Seeing that his identity was found out, Zhao Chuanxin simply wrote ambiguously:
【Perhaps I should really die with you. 】

[Book page: I don't think so.If my pages and yours were all offset, the world would cease to exist.I know that the old gods want to open up the higher-dimensional world, maybe you are a creature in the higher-dimensional world. 】

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly realized.

He made some bold guesses.

But he didn't want to discuss this with the "Devil Code", because it would expose his shortcomings and show his ignorance.

He wrote:

【Now, I want you to tell me everything about biological intelligence! 】
