Chapter 297: Reconstruction of Thoughts, Debate on Self
"First, let go of all my ideas about time."
Bai Mo glanced ahead. Not far away, Qiubi and Lu Muyuan were communicating.
Temporarily suppressing the idea of contacting Shikama Madoka and Engami, Shiromo reviewed his situation.
First, there is the most basic concept of self-understanding of the world—time.
Since there are timeline life forms such as Circle God and Flame Demon, the so-called basic understanding of time that humans rely on changes in celestial phenomena is likely to be wrong.
Time is probably not like this. The so-called timing method that relies on the changes of the sun, moon and stars is contradictory and conflicting. Maybe one day will suddenly become the previous day, or the coupling and conflict of the two timelines may occur.
How to judge time, the external reference needs to be reset.
"The only reference we can really borrow is the time difference when my gray fog space system enters." Bai Mo felt like he had a toothache.
If you can't understand what Yuan Shen and Flame Demon look like, then what you have in front of this kind of timeline life form is a book, a paragraph, a word, a jumping video frame...
"According to the entry into the gray fog space, one entry is one day, conversion, conversion... time reconstruction."
"Kyuubi, what's going on with him?" Shikamaoka looked at Bai Mo in a daze and couldn't help but ask.
From the beginning, this man was holding his chin and rubbing his temples, looking really crazy.
Kyubey shook his tail and calculated the answer by relying on his character anatomy and profiling.
"He is re-constructing his own worldview and logical concepts of personal thinking."
"Reconstruct the world view?" Madoka Shikama repeated a few words to himself.
It sounds simple, but in fact it is very complicated.
If you want to adapt to a new and suitable concept of time, you must abandon the time that you are accustomed to and subconsciously use - hours, minutes, seconds... It is born through the invariance of reference objects, combined with your own thinking, etc. .
This is just the beginning.
The logic of the self is like a jigsaw puzzle composed of countless pieces. These jigsaw puzzles change shape and recombine under the erosion of time. Planes, solids, and geometry are all pieces of the puzzle.
To break the worldview into pieces is to break the "I" composed of this jigsaw puzzle, and then eliminate and update it to become a new "I".
This is not the body, material level, or even the soul, but the self-idea, the illusory personality concept, etc.
"Sounds like a lot of hard work."
"This is inevitable." Kyubey replied calmly.
"Humans are a highly social species with complex emotions that can walk upright and make tools. If we want to get rid of the constraints of this aspect, we must change."
"Only those who have initially escaped from this definition can get rid of the logical loopholes in individual thinking restricted by this definition, analyze and think about themselves from a broader perspective, and avoid the current problems through changes. The problem."
"I don't understand." Shikamaoka shook his head.
Bai Mo's closed eyelids opened, and in his pupils, symbols that did not look like ordinary people gradually flickered.
"You are approaching in an inhuman direction."
Kyubey, who was beside Shikama Madoka, returned to Shiromo, squatted on the ground, and looked at him with a very strange look.
Among the observation objects that the incubator has come into contact with, Bai Mo is one of the very few who can be ranked in the top ten, second only to records such as Yuan Shen and Yan Mo.
Now with the interference of unknown variables and other factors, he has become more valuable for observation in Kyubey's eyes.
"Inhumans and humans, right and wrong, are actually the same." Bai Mo rubbed Kyubey, put it on his shoulders, and his eyes returned to normal.
This reconstruction of one's world view is just the most reasonable choice based on the current situation.
When human behavioral habits cannot keep up with the rhythm and these differences in parallel time and space lines become larger and larger, self-change is essential.
This is an evolutionary necessity.
Just like the fish that landed on land are no longer fish, and the people who walk towards the stars are no longer humans. They have begun to come into contact with this omnipotent reality-distorting power... How could I still maintain the original character and habits accumulated over the years? What about worldview, life perceptions, and self-thoughts?
In the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed, and the leap of thoughts made the thoughts transcend time. In this case, it is difficult for the so-called "people" to be reasonably called human beings.
This may not be a weakness of human nature, but a fallacy that cannot be understood.
“I think it’s a lot easier this way, and I don’t have to worry about certain pressures that come up from time to time.”
Bai Mo said to himself, turning to look at Shikama Madoka.
"Please take a seat."
As he spoke, he snapped his index fingers.
"Snapped"
On the floating platform, colorful paints paint the picture here, with blue sky, white clouds, rippling lakes and breeze.
On the ground, the houses, tables and chairs that rose from time to time began to be restored one to one according to Bai Mo's memory.
The superior self seems to be the hand that controls everything, completing creation according to ideas as it pleases.
When the paint dissipated and all the dust settled, Bai Mo and Shikama Madoka sat on chairs, surrounded by a one-to-one replica of Shikama Madoka's house.
"here it is…"
Shikama Madoka was a little in disbelief.
She reached out and tried to touch it, but soon reacted and held the staff with a very alert look.
"Oh, sorry, maybe I didn't remind you. Let me introduce myself. I am probably the owner of the soul gem from another parallel time and space."
Bai Mo spread out his palm, and a crystal clear blue gem floated in his palm.
Soul gem, originally it was a synthetic soul gem, specially made by Kyubey, but now Kyubey couldn't tell what it was.
"You are also a magician, no, a magician."
Kaname Madoka thought about it and chose the title of "Mister".
"According to the idea that it can realize, I guess I am almost a magician." Bai Mo pinched the crystal in his hand, squeezed it slightly, and the soul gem disappeared.
"You entered this barrier, is there something going on?"
Hearing Bai Mo's question, Kaname Madoka talked about his situation and thoughts.
"You are lonely, can I be friends with you?"
Bai Mo looked at her outstretched palm, and the white gloves seemed to reflect his appearance.
She thought she was a "witch" and would be lonely alone in the witch's barrier, so she reached out to help and became friends with herself.
"I will answer this question next time we meet..."
The next moment, Kaname Madoka was kicked out of the barrier by Bai Mo.
Everything returned to its original state. On this empty floating platform, Bai Mo pinched his eyebrows and felt a headache.
"Why don't you choose to be friends with her?" Kyubey asked doubtfully: "According to the relationship between Kaname Madoka and Yuan Shen, as long as they become friends, then all the difficulties you encounter will be directly solved, and everything will be solved now."
"This kind of cause and effect is not a good thing."
Bai Mo shook Kyubey's neck.
"Kaname Madoka is a good person, and Yuan Shen is even more of a saint, but it's better not to take advantage of this."
"Maybe they won't have any opinions. After all, if they have any opinions, a scammer like you would have died long ago, but my bottom line has not fallen to your level."
"Okay, what are you going to do next?" (End of this chapter)
