I'm mentally retarded, who asked me to join Rules Monster Talk?

Chapter 344 Rules and Documents
"Oh, really?"

Seeing that the other party actually followed the agreement and gave the answer, he obediently prepared to send him to the top of the tower.

This surprised Xiao Yi a little, as he thought the argument would continue for a while.

"Well, of course..." the voice said, "After all... I am not a shameless person. I must fulfill my promises. Besides... I have already lost to you in this duel, so there is no reason for me to break the promise."

"...You mean, duel...?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but tilt his head, "Were we having a duel just now? Aren't we...doing a quiz with prizes?"

"No...it's just a duel."

The voice slowly explained:
"After reaching your and my level, the traditional duel of strength is meaningless. Just like Yuanfa Kongdao, each independent individual has the complete authority of truth, so for them, numbers have lost their meaning. Countless numbers will only be evenly matched...

...and once we have reached the state where we can easily change all truths, rules and logic like you and I, it is even more impossible to decide the winner by a duel of magnitude...Besides, it is impossible for the two of us to decide the winner by throwing galaxies and universes at each other's faces, right?"

"......Indeed." Xiao Yi imagined it for a moment, and immediately nodded in agreement. "Just by imagining it, I feel that the scene must be extremely tacky. I would never do it even if someone asked me to."

"...Right? So, what I just said was a question, in essence, a duel with you... It is one of the few meaningful duels that can determine the winner after reaching our level. It is called... a duel of ideas."

"... a battle of ideas?" Xiao Yi nodded thoughtfully. "How could there be such a good thing in this world that I could go to the top of the tower just by asking a question? So you have such a conspiracy... Speaking of which, if I can't give an answer, then won't my fate be miserable?"

“…………Of course.” The voice said bluntly: “I originally planned to lock you into an endless spiral, and completely wear away your human nature in the infinite self-contradiction and self-opposition, but it’s a pity… What a pity.”

The voice sighed, but there was more helplessness in the tone.

"Is... is that so?" Xiao Yi couldn't help but feel a little scared after learning this.

He thought to himself that fortunately his IQ was high enough so he could handle this.

"You and I have a conflict of interest. Generally speaking, we should fight to the death. How can we just settle it with a simple question?" The voice continued, "However, there is no need to bring this up now. After all, I have already lost... Xiao Yi, as a human on Blue Star, you surprise me. Because of you, I think this strange talk about the rules can end earlier."

"........."

Xiao Yi did not reply, but thought in his heart:
The words and tone of the voice undoubtedly prove that he is Qingse Kongxian, and the culprit who caused Blue Star's current situation.

According to Xiao Yi's understanding, there seemed to be quite a few people appearing in the blue sky, and he didn't know which one this was.

However, no matter which one it is, Xiao Yi doesn't really want to have a conflict with him.

Even if he won this so-called battle of ideas, Xiao Yi still understood that if he really fought with all his strength, he would most likely not be a match for this Qingse Kongxian.

Since the other party said that he was willing to let him go up, and also said that he would end this crisis sooner, it meant that the other party no longer had the intention to fight, so Xiao Yi didn't want to continue to tangle with the other party.

Xiao Yi felt that this matter... should be settled later.

"Here's this for you..." At this time, as the voice sounded, a key-shaped object also floated towards Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi immediately took it and held it in his hand.

"This is the Tower Key," the voice said. "With it, you can reach the top of the tower with just a thought."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi clenched the key-shaped object in his hand and replied:
"…………Thank you, Xu Yingguang."

“…………” The voice was silent for a moment, then said: “I’ve told you so many times, I’m not Xu Yingguang.”

"Oh? Really?" Xiao Yi asked again: "But I heard that Lao Xu entered this tower. Since you are not Lao Xu, where would Lao Xu go? Besides, you are so stubborn... I don't believe it to some extent."

“… That’s enough.” The voice said helplessly, “At this point, do you still have the time to care about these trivial matters? Well, go to the top quickly. There you will find the answers you want.”

It can be heard that the other party does not want to give an answer at all.

In that case, Xiao Yi was too lazy to continue to argue. He immediately had a thought, and then the key-shaped object in his hand responded to his thoughts, and immediately burst out with dazzling light!
Then! The entire tower began to shake and roar.

"...Huh? This is it?"

Xiao Yi suddenly felt a ray of light, and he immediately raised his head!
Then, he saw that the entire tower had undergone earth-shaking changes!

The entire tower was split into countless diamond-shaped pieces!
This enormous tower floating very close to the blue planet looks like a pencil stuck in an apple when viewed from other planets.

Now, the tower has been completely split into countless diamond-shaped pieces! Each diamond-shaped piece is only the size of a palm or a tile. If we calculate it this way, the number of diamond-shaped pieces that make up the entire tower may not be counted using the number of Jingzhao.

And these countless diamond-shaped pieces actually began to flip from the top of the tower in a miraculous way, from the inside to the outside! Like a domino falling down, all the diamond-shaped pieces began to flip from top to bottom!
After being flipped over, the diamond-shaped piece changed from being pitch black as if it could absorb light to a crystal clear, water-like shape!

The light, passing through the crystal! After various complex refractions, scattering or projections, filled the entire interior of the tower. The original white light was transformed into colorful light, which was extremely gorgeous and constantly changing, showing the limit of the beauty that light can present.

The originally dark area around Xiao Yi suddenly became bright and clear.

However, because he had stayed in the dark for a long time, the originally gentle light seemed a little dazzling in Xiao Yi's eyes.

Fortunately, he adapted quickly, and after being flipped over, the entire tower was reassembled into a brand new tower that fits perfectly together!

"What is this...what's going on? What happened?"

Seeing the scenes in front of him made of light and color, Xiao Yi couldn't help but be stunned. "It's nothing, actually?" The voice explained, "It just reversed the entire tower, and reversed the concepts of inside and outside, up and down. Therefore, the top of the tower that was supposed to be at the top is now the space you are in. How about it? Very convenient, right?"

"ha…………"

Xiao Yi would not say that he did not understand, nor would he admit that he was not listening carefully.

In short, Xiao Yi could understand one thing, that is, he had now reached the top of the tower.

"So, in conclusion, this is the top of the tower? Isn't it said that all the answers will be here? Where is it?"

Xiao Yi immediately began to look around, and then he found a platform made of transparent crystal not far away.

And on that high platform, there was a book with nothing written on its brown hardcover.

"Could it be... that's it?"

Xiao Yi immediately took a step forward, walked towards the platform, and picked it up.

"Let me take a look... huh? Why is there nothing here?"

Xiao Yi first subconsciously started flipping through the book from the middle, but then he discovered that it was a blank book.

Each page is blank, with nothing on it.

"...Huh?" Xiao Yi was also stunned, and then asked the voice from nowhere: "Just putting a book with nothing on it, what do you mean by that?"

"Uh..." The voice immediately replied, "How should I put it? Anyway... I'm sorry, the book is just a shell, and only the first page has content... But I really didn't expect that someone would start flipping through the book from the middle instead of the first page..."

"...Huh?" Xiao Yi asked again: "Since there is only content on the first page, why do we have to write a whole book? Can't we just put down that page?"

"Uh... you're right, but..." the voice said hesitantly, "If you only put a piece of paper, it's a bit too tasteless, isn't it?"

"In that case, the method of making the scroll is also good..."

"Oh...!" The voice immediately made a sound of sudden enlightenment, "You are absolutely right! I got it! I will remember it..."

"Um…………"

Xiao Yi was too lazy to care about these things and immediately opened the first page of the book. Then, after seeing the first page of the book, Xiao Yi was also shocked.

Because the content on it is exactly the content of the rules document!

Xiao Yi also began to read it carefully.

[Instance: End of Song]

[A piece of music should be solemn, sacred, profound, and touching. However, this piece of music is full of vulgar, ignorant, solidified discordant sounds, and even noise! ​​So... we must make changes! And in this deep-rooted system, there must be destruction to bring about absolute rebirth! Therefore! This piece of music... should end. ]

[Rule 1: The greatest disaster that the ignorant noise can imagine is probably the invasion of inhuman strange things... Therefore, the strange things that people fear in their hearts will be materialized and come to this world... There is no deep meaning, just to hunt the noise people for the sake of hunting. ]

[Rule 2: The Chosen Ones are not completely noise, but they can also cause trouble because of the rules set by noise. Therefore, the innate abilities of all Chosen Ones are limited to within one meter around themselves, and they cannot use high-speed movement to indirectly expand the range of their abilities.]

[Rule 3: In this trial, only those who prove that they are not noise can survive. Therefore, anyone who can repel strange things with their own strength will no longer be attacked by strange things. However, this condition will be more demanding over time. ]

[Rule 4: This trial is essentially a competition for survival, so the enemies you face are not just strange creatures, but also other human beings. If you can understand this and hunt people of the same kind based on this idea, you can be promoted to the Chosen One, gain unique talents and abilities, and the ability to control strange creatures.]

[Rule 5: Anyone who dies in this trial has already proven themselves to be noise, even if they sacrifice themselves for others.]

"…………what is this?"

The more he looked, the more Xiao Yi frowned.

"These rules are filled with purely personal perceptions and are not at all like what rules should be."

Of course, Xiao Yi also knew that the most important thing was the clearance conditions, so he immediately looked at the clearance conditions column.

"The conditions for passing the level... When the number of surviving humans on the Blue Planet reaches 500 million, everything will end!?"

Xiao Yi was shocked and immediately asked the voice: "What does this mean? Why is the condition for passing the level... No! Why do you want to kill so many people?"

"...Hmm? Is there a problem?" the voice asked back, "Don't you think that this world is filled with too many ignorant people who have no need to exist and are no different from being dead? However, the reality is that this group of people consume resources, create no value, and hinder the progress of mankind, and even harm those who should be better regarded... So, if these people die, wouldn't it be better for more people?"

From the tone of that voice, it can be heard that he has no doubts about his own opinion... He can no longer be convinced by words.

The voice continued, "Xiao Yi, I admit that you are not noise, and you can even be said to be the main theme, but... even so, you cannot interfere with me in eliminating the noise... Now that you have learned the truth of everything, you should be satisfied, right? In short, no matter what, I will not give in anymore. Even if you disagree, it doesn't matter. After all, this is the rule, and it is a rule that must be followed."

"In that case..." Xiao Yi then said coldly: "Then I will kill... this rule."
