“Here is the record of Doomsday.”
Charlotte said that the surrounding scenery began to become dim, and Lu Ban and she returned to the vast expanse of white.
Lu Ban felt a sense of peeling, as if someone was shaving his head with a comb, smoothing out all the winding grooves. Everything he had just seen and heard was extracted from his brain. Apart from remembering that he had witnessed the end of the world in some alien land, Lu Ban had forgotten all the details.
This feeling is just like when I held the suona or the [Holy Sword of Physics] before.
Knowledge covers his brain like a spider web, and is pulled away as contact stops.
"Is the knowledge of the Glorious Realm preserved in these rooms in this way?"
Lu Ban suddenly realized.
There are no bookshelves or books here. As a highly developed civilization with considerable knowledge of foreign lands, the Glorious Realm naturally knows how to gain knowledge while avoiding the pollution brought by knowledge.
Scholars look up extremely secretive and highly contaminated information in these rooms and analyze it based on the information. Once they get the answers, they only need to leave the room and forget the corresponding knowledge, leaving only the final conclusion.
It was like giving a schoolboy a lesson in calculus, and using it to work out a solution, leaving the room with only the answer in mind to solve a complex problem.
The human thinking process itself is a process of reprocessing the collected information. This library was built precisely to avoid pollution while inheriting knowledge and collecting information.
In this way, most scholars can come into contact with more exotic civilizations and think of the correct answers while only being slightly contaminated themselves.
Moreover, such a strategy can also limit the content that users browse based on their level. Only people who have reached a certain level have the authority to call and view dangerous knowledge, preventing pollution from leaking among ordinary people.
"They are quite smart. They thought of using this method to avoid contamination. Even if they are temporarily exposed to too much knowledge and become crazy, they can use the library's equipment to erase the corresponding memory and return to normal."
Charlotte's tone was flat, and not much praise could be heard from her.
"To this day, the technology they developed is circulated in foreign lands, and you must have come into contact with it."
"right."
Lu Ban replied.
His own suona and the crowbar that was moving away looked like extraordinary items made using this technology. They were indeed very useful and caused very little pollution to humans.
At the same time, he had some associations.
"If people in the Brilliant Realm can flexibly utilize this technology, then even if they face the Old Ones, they will be able to return to normal after completing the seal."
In order to seal the Old Ones, one must have a certain understanding of these great beings, and this understanding is knowledge that will bring pollution. With the system of this library, people in the Glorious Realm can try to find ways to fight against the Old Ones in the room, and at the same time forget the details related to the Old Ones after leaving, leaving only the discussion of the tested methods.
No wonder people in the Glorious Realm were able to seal those Old Ones.
"You can say that. Of course, the specific implementation methods are very different. People in the Brilliant Realm have a strong ability to resist pollution. They worship the God of the Otherworld, which is very polluting."
Charlotte nodded slightly, and at the same time her hands groped on the wall, trying to find something else.
"Isn't it you they worship?"
Lu Ban was curious.
What Charlotte meant was that there were other gods beyond gods.
Lu Ban thought that Charlotte's original body alone had thousands of incarnations, and each of them possessed the power and pollution of the Old Ones. If other Gods outside of God still existed, this foreign land would probably be full of traces of the Old Ones.
"There are three persons who are equal to me, not me."
Charlotte said, and as she spoke, Lu Ban felt a burning sensation in his brain. Just when he heard the word "three", he felt as if there were ten million ants running up and down in his head, gnawing at his delicate cerebral cortex, trying to leave a mark on it.
But Charlotte seemed to have noticed nothing and continued.
"Besides my original body, one of the other two is covered by darkness. He is the offspring of darkness and possesses the most powerful reproductive ability. In the foreign lands, most of the Old Ones are subservient to Him. All alienation is related to Him. He controls all changes, pollution, and erosion. In some foreign lands, His image has been distorted in the process of transmission. You may have also seen those things called the Black Queen Mother."
Hearing Charlotte's words, Lu Ban's ears buzzed with a sound, and his eardrum ruptured, and he could no longer hear any sound. However, Charlotte's words did not flow into Lu Ban's brain through the air, but in the form of some concepts, causing strange worm-like things to spread under his skin, his internal organs churning, and countless tiny burrs to appear in those smooth organs. Lu Ban coughed twice, and he vomited out one of his internal organs, along with more blood, enough to dye the walls red.
But Charlotte's words continued, without the slightest pause or compassion, as if she were reciting a eulogy for Lu Ban.
"As for the other, he controls time and space, is omniscient and all-seeing, and knows the past, present, and future. He is the source of all knowledge and pollution in the world. His existence is knowledge itself. All the time, this supreme being is spreading knowledge to all foreign lands. It can also be said that he is the source of pollution and the existence that all the Old Ones try to befriend. He is also the god worshipped by the civilization of the Glorious Realm."
Hearing this, Lu Ban's brain began to boil. He heard countless whispers ringing in his ears. Those whispers were like calls from the distant sky, making Lu Ban's whole body become hot. The next moment, Lu Ban melted.
He turned into a puddle of meat paste, splattering on the marble floor, like minced meat that had been slammed hard onto a chopping board, all over the floor.
Charlotte stopped her story. She glanced at Lu Ban lying on the ground and tilted her head innocently. Just as she was about to pick up the melted Lu Ban, she saw grass growing on the flesh and blood.
Charlotte held her chin up to her hand and looked at it for a while, then she touched the wall again to look up information.
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Ban finally gathered himself together.
He was panting and looked at Charlotte, who was concentrating on absorbing knowledge, with a little resentment.
"You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
"no."
Charlotte answered immediately.
"You really did it on purpose!"
Lu Ban said with absolute certainty.
