Chapter 832 Being "Hanged Upside Down"

Chapter 832 Being "Hanged Upside Down"

Without any hesitation, Xia Ran decisively betrayed Aleister.

Although he was far away from two school districts and stayed in a windowless building, the Hanged Man must have a complicated face at this moment, as if he had been shot in the knee by an arrow for no reason.

The one-eyed girl looked at the magician quietly, as if she didn't want to do this. Her clear emerald green eyes reflected Xia Ran's figure, and she wanted to see through his truth completely, and at the same time, she was thinking is talking:

"I haven't seen you before. You definitely don't belong to this world. Are you from the long past, those dead worlds? So maybe you have existed for an older time than I thought Woolen cloth……"

"No, no, don't talk nonsense, let me tell you that I am only 17 years old this year, what is ancient..." Xia Ran shook her head again and again, he was exactly the boy of his classmate, at the prime of his life, and had nothing to do with these words OK.

He is only 17 years old this year, and he will only be 17 years old next year. How can there be anything ancient to say?

When the one-eyed girl heard the words, she gave him a slightly weird look in her eyes. She is only 17 years old this year?

17 years old and how many epochs?

Although she didn't know this heterogeneous existence that was definitely not human, but didn't seem to belong to the existing magical and mysterious system, at least she still had eyesight. It is partly hidden and partly visible, continuously stretching.

As if it can be traced back to an unknown long history, although there are not many obvious traces left in the current world, that is, it only appeared recently, but among many other magical phases, his record also seems to be In the ups and downs, how many sporadic traces can be captured.

This shows that before she or other demon gods superimposed countless times of phases in the world, before they reshaped the world for an unknown number of times, perhaps this strange existence had already walked the world at that time.

It's not that the older the stronger, but the stronger the older. The one-eyed girl knew this well, so she became more cautious.

This person doesn't seem to be a demon god, but it feels the same to her.

Especially now in the whole world, all the superimposed magic phases are showing signs of being shaken by some kind of mighty force. When she clearly senses it, she has strengthened her cognition. Inferior to the monster of the demon god.

However, even so, she would not retreat or give in, after all, it was not the first time she had dealt with an existence of the same level.

"Stop it."

Walking in from the gate, the one-eyed girl dressed as a witch went straight to the magician, looked up at his face slightly, and said calmly.

"It's full of demon gods outside?" Xia Ran asked with a playful smile. He felt that this sentence seemed inexplicably familiar. It seemed that he had said it to others a few times not long ago, and now it was his turn to be so said.

It's really turning around.

"?" The one-eyed girl tilted her head, as if a question mark appeared slowly above her head.

"..."

"..."

"Boss, who is this?" Under the inexplicable oppression of the atmosphere, Misaka Mikoto and the others had been silent just now, and now they managed to find a gap, and couldn't help asking.

"Oh, this one... you can just call her Ou Ti." Xia Ran said casually, and briefly introduced the name of the one-eyed girl, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say the latter's full name. come out.

"Oti?" Misaka Mikoto raised her eyebrows. It didn't seem like her name was real. If this person didn't make a mistake on purpose, she must have deliberately concealed part of the information.

"Well, it's the relative meaning of Feiti. You can take this as her title. It means that she is a very lucky person. When she draws cards, she can always easily get the results she wants... ..." the magician said solemnly.

"Director, you're like this..." Misaka Mikoto couldn't laugh or cry, could this person be more serious.

"..."

The one-eyed girl's eyes flickered. This person seemed to be talking nonsense, but in fact he did say some information about himself, such as the first half of his name.

It's just that his language is really strange, that is, the homophonic stalks that are unique to the language he uses can be understood by everyone present, including the one-eyed girl herself... Didn't find anything wrong.

It's not that they are unresponsive, but they simply lack the basic conditions to discover this strange phenomenon. Just like most animals are actually color-blind, they can hardly distinguish colors. The colors reflected in their eyes are only black, Three shades of white and gray.

This is the world in their eyes, no one will prevent them from seeing, but their own sensory perception does not support seeing colors other than black, white, and gray, so naturally they cannot perceive the existence of these phenomena, which is The limitations of mortals themselves.

That is to say, Othinus, as a demon god, was able to keenly perceive the problem of this point.

Is it not a limited and tangible language, but a common meaning statement for all things?

The light in Othinus's eyes flickered slightly. As the saying goes, the truth can be seen in the subtleties, which means that the essence of things is often best reflected in the details. She naturally understood this truth very well, and quickly thought about it and remembered a suspicious clues.

Genesis 11:1 At that time, the accent and language of all people were the same.

——Old Testament .

According to this clue, if everything is true, it is obvious that there was an era before the confusion of speech. At that time, unlike later generations or now, there were countless different languages ​​and characters, and speech was unified and universal.

It is not only shared by human beings, but also shared by all things. People can talk to each other, talk to the world, and even talk to God.

It's just that when people still had a common language, they tried to build a tower reaching the sky, but the final result shocked God. God did not allow people to reach the same height as Him through this method, and thus confused people. language.

"Since they have started to do this now, nothing they intend to do in the future will be impossible."

The great cause of man is ruined in one fell swoop, no matter how proud a person is, he cannot be compared with God, and rashly launching a challenge will only draw God's wrath.

This is also the origin of the legend of the Tower of Babel. In Hebrew, "Babel" means "chaos", but in Babylonian, this word means "God's Gate". The same word has completely opposite meanings in the two languages, but both have profound meanings...

Othinus's thoughts flashed, and at the same time, he took a deep look at the magician in front of him.

Is this man an ancient relic from a time before the confusion of speech?In that case, perhaps it was really the world before the demon gods in this world superimposed countless phases on the world. If they have lived until now, it seems not surprising to have such a performance.

"What do you want to do by shaking all the phase foundations?"

Her face was still calm, and she asked calmly.

After all, as the king of gods in Norse mythology, the real body has seen many things. In the countless times of world changes, she has never seen any strange things. It wouldn't surprise her much.

"...to prevent the world from being destroyed, to protect the peace of the world?" Probably knowing that Othinus, who only acts according to his own ideas and rhythm, is difficult to be fooled by, Xia Ran thought about it seriously, not sure said so.

"..."

"..."

"Is there a line at the end of the story, like "evil, cute and charming villain who implements love and truth"? "

Kamijou Touma said weakly, sensing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more heavy and solidified, he inexplicably felt an extremely ominous and uneasy feeling, as if this was the calm before the storm, and catastrophe might be imminent at any time, he couldn't help it Want to do something to lighten the mood.

However, it was obvious that he failed to successfully clear the siege, but instead made the air even heavier. When he realized that no one was catering to him, the man with the hedgehog head could only smile mischievously, and subconsciously took two steps forward .

Although he didn't know the reason or what was going on, the only thing he could be sure of was that this one-eyed girl who appeared suddenly should also be one of the magicians.

So Kamijou Touma felt that he might be able to help in the conflict that might arise next. His right hand couldn't catch bullets or stop guns, but he could only have a special attack on the power of supernatural powers. Effect.

only……

As if aware of Kamijou Touma's actions, the one-eyed girl dressed as a witch turned slightly sideways, and glanced at him indifferently.

The next moment, the pupils of the young man with the hedgehog head shrank suddenly, and he found that without any warning, the girl had already arrived in front of him, appearing very abruptly in front of him, and seemed to be very natural like a bird stand there.

It is completely impossible to capture the directionality, but I am warned: there is no need to perceive it.

Naturally, fear came to his heart, he watched the slender white arm reach out, grabbed his right hand, and then...

Another palm that suddenly appeared, as if trying to stop the one-eyed girl's behavior, directly grabbed her wrist.

"He's just a child..." the magician said with a smile, "Don't be so irritable, as a senior in life, you should be more tolerant towards young people."

"..."

"..."

Othinus was silent for a moment.

The next moment, nothing happened, and she couldn't help frowning, just because nothing happened.

The phenomenon that should appear has been offset.

"Don't be so irritable, what a big deal..." Xia Ran sighed, her tone seemed a little helpless, "Don't look at me like that, you can't stop what I want to do, and you can't stop what I want to stop." There's no way to do it."

"...Hmph, arrogance!"

The one-eyed girl snorted softly, and didn't even look at the other people who were facing the enemy, but just stared at the person in front of her indifferently and calmly: "I am a person who has reached the realm of a pure demon god..."

"I know this, I even know who you are, don't you think I don't know about this?" The magician directly interrupted her and asked with a surprised face: "What's there to brag about? Yes, this kind of thing doesn't matter if you have your hands?"

"..." Othinus choked for a moment, then fell silent.

She looked at her grasped wrist, and suddenly found that dealing with this existence might be more troublesome than she imagined.

"Besides, demon gods are not without weaknesses. Not to mention that you who want to enter the world have to weaken yourself once, let's just talk about you-you are troubled and embarrassed because of a certain characteristic of yourself, right? ?”

Xia Ran said calmly.

"The infinite possibilities you have means that you have the possibility of inevitable success or inevitable failure in the face of any kind of thing. No matter what kind of power you have accumulated, it can only be divided [-]-[-]. Even if you have the ability to instantly destroy the entire The power of the world also has half the probability of losing when playing boxing games with children..."

The one-eyed girl couldn't help frowning: "What do you want to say?"

"Ahem, to be modest, I am very similar to you, but the infinite possibilities I have do not mean that I have to be [-]/[-] in everything, but as long as there is that possibility, I We must be able to grasp the elements of victory..."

With a light cough, Xia Ran said very modestly with a Versailles expression on her face:

"In infinite time, there are infinite monkeys typing, and I can always make up a "Complete Works of Shakespeare" at a certain point in time. The infinite superposition of "infinity" and "probability" to the limit is exactly my idea. ability……"

Having said that, he blinked his eyes: "So unfortunately, at least in terms of characteristics, I happen to completely restrain you, because I will always win, and I will win again, because you have half the probability of losing each time." If you lose, you will naturally lose all the time..."

If it was other demon gods who came to kick the gym today, then Xia Ran would also feel a headache. Although he could protect Kamijou Touma and others, he could only adopt a defensive strategy and could not take any initiative.

But it happened to be Othinus, the demon god who has not yet escaped from the predicament caused by her own characteristics...

This can only be said that Xia Ran's luck is good, while Othinus' luck is a bit bad.

"..."

"..."

The one-eyed girl remained silent. After a few seconds, the magician twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't try, it's the same no matter how many times you come here. I can cancel any of your actions. It's meaningless." of."

Although nothing happened, although no phenomenon appeared.

It seemed that the two were in a stalemate, and then Othinus remained silent, as if thinking about something, that's all.

But in fact, Xia Ran has counteracted an unknown number of attacks launched by the one-eyed girl, and has fought against each other thousands of times, but no one can know about this, and there is no way to prevent it from happening when it should happen. After the phenomenon is cancelled, use your own perception to capture it.

"I thought we could have the conditions for a peaceful conversation. Could it be that I was thinking wrong?"

Xia Ran sighed, let go of her palm, and took the lead in expressing her sincerity: "Speaking of which, how about a deal?"

"What deal?"

The one-eyed girl took a step back with a flat expression, and asked while rubbing her wrist with one hand.

Then, she saw the magician on the opposite side raised his camera, and raised his eyebrows.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it, it's not this...it's this." Xia Ran flipped her wrist and took out a seemingly ordinary Tarot card, smiling at the one-eyed girl in front of her.

In his heart, he felt that everything was really ready now.

"The Hanged Man" is interpreted from the mythological imagery, which means Odin, the god king in Norse mythology. Spear stabbing, eventually trading a left eye for Runas's wisdom.

But coincidentally, when it comes to being hung up and being stabbed by a spear, Christ had the same experience, and Christ was also stabbed by a spear during his crucifixion. The Roman soldier Longinus used to confirm whether Christ was dead. The spear pierces the body of the Son of God who is hung on the cross.

Whether it is Odin who has gained wisdom, or Christ who has become the Messiah, the "hanged one" represents "the wisdom of God" and "the awakening of divinity".

Looking at Othinus in front of him, Xia Ran felt that the key elements and the last link of his ascension ceremony were finally completed.

Right now, we just want to see if this one-eyed girl will take the bait.
