I, with a long knife in my hand, can only do one move

"Not bad, I can clearly feel that this is an isolated space..."

"It's been said that it's a training ground with different time flows, so it must be isolated." Cheng Rang patted the book in his hand, "What's next, how do we start?"

"Same as last time, when learning the curse, first understand the cause and effect." Leticia nodded to Cheng Rang, "Open the book."

"you sure?"

The feeling of being overwhelmed by knowledge last time was as clear as yesterday. I, who lay dead on the ground for 5 minutes, frightened Leticia at that time, and even the system was disturbed.

To be honest, Cheng Rang was a little scared.

"Let you flip through, why so much nonsense, don't you trust me?"

"Believe it! Of course I believe it!"

Cheng Rang knew that Leticia would definitely not harm herself, although sometimes her mouth was a bit poisonous, but she was used to it.

Without further hesitation, Cheng Rang sat cross-legged in the snow with the determination to die, and opened the first page of the book of karma in his arms.

The difference from the last time is that this time there is no outrageous scene where a torrent of knowledge bombards one's soul and directly brings Cheng Rang to the vast universe. The first sentence on the first page of the first volume is actually an understandable text , rather than a different text carrying strange knowledge.

"Uh...."

Cheng Rang looked distressed, and as expected, the entire content was written in Leticia's native language, that is, Esperanto. It can still be a little difficult to read.

But it's not that you can't understand it, that is, read it slowly.

The beginning of the first article.

——What is cause and effect?

The so-called cause and effect, the cause is the cause that can be artificial and produce certain consequences, and the effect is the result produced by a certain cause.From the theory of dependent origination comes the theory of cause and effect, which is the basis of the theory of reincarnation and liberation.

The Time Curse of Brissac's Mantra is a practical application of causality and spiritualism.

For example, the fundamental principle of the "Time Curse Healing Light" used to treat the wounded is to cut off the [cause] and [effect] that cause damage and form wounds.

Cutting injuries, for example, are caused by cutting the skin with a knife, causing physical damage, bleeding and pain.After time and self-healing, the cut muscle gradually heals, the wound scabs, falls off and eventually fully recovers.Comb this series from beginning to end in order of occurrence, monofilaments become threads.

The treatment of Time Curse Healing Light is to cut off the complete causal line from [cutting the skin causing damage] to [appearing wound] and [wound healing], resulting in the paradox of [causation without effect] or [effect without cause]—— That is, the monofilament does not form a line.

Wireless, no cause, no effect, naturally means nothing happened.

The wound will also disappear.

Instead of blaming the treatment of Time Curse Healing Light on [Cure], it is better to say [Erase].

But the theory that underpins the caster's ability to do so, and understand how to do so successfully, is that the caster has suffered such injuries himself, and experienced the gradual healing process from injury to healing.

Only by experiencing and understanding cause and effect personally can we cut off cause and effect.

This is also the same as what Leticia said at the beginning, if you want to use the Time Curse to heal others, you must suffer the same injury, and if you want to use the Time Curse to capture the vision of others, you must experience darkness.

On the other hand, the tiny paradox produced by cutting off cause and effect will inevitably be repelled by the world's restraining force (collectively referred to), and there will be a certain price of backlash.

And this so-called [price] is the [consumption] that the caster of the Time Curse has to bear.

"It's so complicated..."

Cheng Rang felt dizzy seeing this, but this was only the first page.

"That's for sure. I've written down my understanding as much as possible. The real difficulty is in the next book." Leticia stood beside Cheng Rang. Ask, and I will be responsible for answering. By the way, the reason why it is divided into two books is because the first volume is all such pure theoretical combing, and the second volume is the kind of Yunfa text you read last time."

"Yunfa writing?"

"It is to write a book with one's life, to gather the high-latitude knowledge that cannot be interpreted in words, and seal it in the medium with special pen and ink."

Cheng Rang thought for a moment and said, "That is to write a book with the spell of time?"

"Almost, because there is a price to pay."

pay the price?

Cheng Rang suddenly remembered something, and raised his eyes to Leticia beside him, who looked at him expressionlessly.

"Isn't this equivalent to you rewriting a book?"

"Yes what's the matter."

Leticia's calm tone almost made Cheng Rang forget her warning when she first received the book "Cause, Effect and Price".

[It took me 360-[-] years just to finish writing this book. 】

As long as she regains consciousness, she will immediately write and continue writing without stopping, and every time she writes, part of Leticia's soul and body will disappear due to the price.

But because she is undead and has lost the concept of death, she can repeatedly pay the price of writing this book. Every time she writes or writes a word, she will "die" once.

But Cheng Rang just opened the first page, caught a glimpse of the first Yunfa text, and his brain was burnt through and he lay dead for 5 minutes.

The kind of nerves and souls that have been minced

The feeling of smashing his phone into pieces, putting it in a bag, and beating him. Even after he recovered, he couldn't get a good night's sleep for three days, let alone the fact that Rieti needed to write everything on the page with his own hands. Thea.

What a long and excruciating pain that will be?How much willpower is needed to persevere for a full 360 nine years, every day and every moment?

"First question...why did you write that book? I'm referring to the first edition of Cause and Cost."

Out of curiosity, Cheng Rang asked this question.

And even if Leticia spent so much effort writing it, no one would be able to read it!Isn't this simply torturing yourself?

Leticia answered.

Knowledge is useless if it does not change behavior; but as soon as knowledge changes behavior, knowledge itself immediately loses its meaning.

"Just like the mathematical formulas we know, if they can't help us solve problems, then does it make sense to memorize them? If I can memorize them and pass the exam, does it still make sense?"

Leticia continued: "For those who have already mastered knowledge, starting to use knowledge to create value is like doing business to make money. If you know the way, you will naturally know how to make money. But for those poor people, they Not knowing how to make as much and as fast money as a capitalist from scratch. Then the knowledge they don’t have is a treasure for them.”

It is true that there will be some people who hide what they know and do not want to let the second person know, but in Leticia's view, the essence of any knowledge lies in the nature of being able to share it with others.

It is only meaningful if the shared knowledge brings convenience to others.

This also explains why, as long as someone wants to learn the Brisac spell, no matter who makes such a request, Leticia will always come.

If you want to learn, I will teach you.

"Don't ask for rewards and results?" Cheng Rang asked her in confusion.

Leticia shook her head slightly.

“Sharing knowledge to those in need is reward.”

"Even if no one can learn this knowledge, can it be taken away?"

Leticia looked at Cheng Rang who was holding the book, and raised her pretty eyebrows slightly.

"Isn't there?"

Cheng Rang couldn't help being stunned.

......

Even if there is only one, it is meaningful.

"My life has no end, so as long as it is meaningful, how long it takes is just the difference between doing it and not doing it."

Maybe you can wait, maybe you can't wait, but you just keep doing this, preparing for the waiting even if it doesn't exist.

Ten years, a hundred years... ten thousand years.

If you have done it, you will not regret it. If you have not done it but waited, you will regret it.

But it's okay... I'm lucky, Leticia thought.

Looking at Cheng Rang who started to read in silence again, she smiled quietly.

I did both...and I waited for you.

Just seeing the ring on Cheng Rang's ring finger when he turned the pages of the book, Leticia's mouth became bitter again.

But even if you wait...

Also continue to wait.

I have waited for many days, but this period is difficult, but there is hope after all.

Although there is too much time to hate, Leticia is glad that she does not lack——

There is only time.

Chapter 7 Abducted? !

In the noisy and smoky streets of Helshalymzlot, Xiao Mo is holding Isabella's hand, chewing something in her mouth, and a thin octopus tentacles are outside her mouth Twist back and forth.

crunch...crunch...

This is said to be the most popular octopus jelly candy recently, and you can buy a small bag of it for one Zell, and there are various flavors.I happened to see it on the side of the road, and Xiao Mo, who was attracted by the peculiar style of candy, couldn't leave his feet immediately.

Isabella paid for a bag for her.

Who knew that this thing looked so cute, but it would move after opening the package, and Isabella's face turned livid instantly. This maddening unfolding made Isabella, who was still thinking about trying it, suddenly lose her desire.

"It's delicious, this one is grape flavored with strawberry jam." Xiao Mo pointed to the purple tentacles writhing vigorously outside his mouth, and recommended it to Isabella.

"Strawberry jam is..."

"It's stuck in the head of the octopus, and it will burst out when you bite it. It's super sweet~"

"no surprise...."

Isabella sighed, waved her hands and said, "Little Mo, just eat."

"Then I'll leave yours to my brother." Xiao Mo stuffed the remaining octopus candies back into his pocket.

Just when the two were about to continue shopping, there was the sound of something falling overhead, and that distinctive, sweet and cloying voice came along with the sound of the wind.

"Da~ling~~! I miss you to death!"

The sudden attack aimed at Xiao Mo's back was resolved by her long hair transformed into a steel cone, and the sharp black needle collided with the mechanical shield, erupting with clanging sounds and flames.

A pink-haired figure in a gothic skirt flipped gracefully in mid-air, and landed with his toes lightly touching the ground.

The flower umbrella that had just unfolded the mechanical shield clicked back and was carried on her shoulders.

"Ah? Darling, how did you become like this?"

The person who came was none other than the Paranoid King Alekira. She held one hand in front of her forehead as if looking into the distance, looking at the little girl.

Mo and Isabella.

Without giving the two of them a chance to talk, Arikira continued to speak on her own, "I smelled Darling, and I was still with this woman, so I thought of becoming a cute girl in order not to be caught by me. , Na na, it’s useless, in my eyes, a Darling is a Darling~!”

"The ruthless attack is still so charming~" Arikira clasped her hands on her chest in a narcissistic manner, and spun around like a ballet dancer.

"Alikila, I think you have admitted the wrong person this time." Isabella looked helplessly at the girl in front of her who suddenly became happy, and secretly cursed in her heart.

Although not entirely wrong...

"Admit it? How is it possible! It is impossible for me to admit the wrong person!" Alikila threw the umbrella in her hand, strode towards Xiaomo with her hips crossed, leaned forward and put her head in front of her to look up and down. He also raised his nose and sniffed.

"That's right—that's right! That's the taste!"

Xiao Mo was forced to tilt his head back by Alekira who came closer, "Isa, who is this guy? Why do you call me Darling... Doesn't Darling mean 'dear'?"

"That's right... She is Arikira, maybe I just misidentified the person."

"I've said it right!" Alikila yelled dissatisfiedly from the side, "Darling and I are a match made in heaven, a couple who like each other! We have entangled each other a hundred times, a hundred times!"

Seeing Isabella holding hands with Xiaomo, Alikila suddenly stopped talking, stepped up and aggressively separated the two hands, and then stood in the middle by herself.

"That's right." Alikila nodded, and then took Xiaomo with one hand and Isabella with the other.

"As a beautiful and talented girl, I can generously share Darling with Isabella, but the location must be confirmed!"

"That's why you said you were wrong..."

"Let's go! Where are we going to play today?" Arikira seemed to ignore Isabella's weak persuasion, grabbed the hands of the two and ran.

"Wait... wait!"

Facts have proved that only a "big idler" like Arikila knows where the best fun is in this city full of ghosts and monsters.

Pulled by Aliki, he ran through the alleys, various roads and secret doors, and finally his eyes lit up. The moment he walked out of the narrow tunnel, the bright light made his eyes open.
