Chapter 468: Cup under the waterfall
Night Owl glanced sideways at the other person sitting next to him. The man with a tattoo on his face that looked like black tears was the captain of the Eighth Army of the infamous World Serpent - Ambrose!
Night Owl nodded to the other party, and Ambrose also nodded.
Ambrose decided that he would make this blond sissy in front of him take the hunting of Su Ming more seriously.
He also realized that if they just talked, this blond sissy would not take the valuable information they provided seriously.
"Mr. Gabriel, do you know what level my strength is among the World Serpents?" Ambrose suddenly asked.
Gabriel glanced at the other person and smiled: "I think he is of course first-rate."
"No, I'm just second-rate. There are at least fifteen people in the World Serpent who are stronger than me, but there are hundreds of people who have a chance of winning. But among those who came here to hunt Su Ming , I am the strongest. Do you know why?"
"Haha, I think there must be something special about you. Maybe your overall qualities are most suitable for this job, or maybe the functionality of your abilities is more suitable for hunting enemies whose whereabouts are unknown." Gabriel casually mentioned a few possibilities without thinking about them in detail.
Ambrose shook his head slowly, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and the black tear tattoo on his face distorted, making Ambrose's expression look extremely weird.
"No... that's not the case at all. You guessed wrong. The reason I came here is simply because I am weak enough, and just strong enough among the weak."
Gabriel narrowed his eyes and finally began to show some interest. He was an ambitious and far-sighted man. Ever since he knew that there was a world outside the plane, his vision was no longer limited to the current world. Therefore, when Ambrose talked about the strong people outside the plane, he became slightly interested. Now, hearing this contradiction, his curiosity was completely aroused.
"This has something to do with the form of existence of your world." Ambrose mentioned it briefly.
Gabriel's expression slightly changed, his eyes lit up, and he muttered to himself with sudden enlightenment: "In the world of four pieces of paper, if you are too strong, you will fall off the paper and fall into the next one, so the person who comes to hunt Su Ming must be someone with the right 'weight' on the paper where Su Ming is."
"As expected of you, the leader of the Mysterious Eye. You are absolutely right." Ambrose complimented, and then said, "If there were no strange world here, I think more people would come here, and our leader would definitely come here to hunt Su Ming himself. But unfortunately, reality is so cruel, and the most suitable person to hunt Su Ming is only a weakling like me."
The purpose of his saying these words was to make Gabriel pay attention to the degree of danger Su Ming poses and to make Gabriel realize how powerful an organization the World Serpent is.
Gabriel took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully, "Didn't you say before that our world is the strongest among all the worlds? But from what you said just now, it seems that it is not the case. A second-rate master like you in the World Serpent can become a top-notch master in our world. If your leader comes, can he easily kill all the masters in our land?"
"It seems that you haven't fully understood. I'm talking about this world, not this layer of the world. If you can leave here and observe this world from the outside, you will find that we are now only on the second to last layer of the four sheets of paper. There are two sheets of paper above us, and the creatures on those two sheets are much stronger than here.
If our leader must come in... then he should be on the second level, which is the level above us. Only the world structure there can guarantee the stability of our leader's own existence.
If I really can't kill Su Ming here, but Su Ming naively goes to the upper level, the leader of the World Serpent will be responsible for welcoming him. "
"Hmm...it sounds like you guys are well prepared, but," Gabriel paused, "You all say Su Ming is very strong, so why is he in this world? With the disappearance of his memory, has his own strength also completely disappeared? Is the source of his power all spiritual?
No, it's not right to say it's spirit. Spirit should also be counted as power, otherwise psychics would not be restricted by the structure of the world.
Can you tell me the reason? Why is that person different from you and can move freely in this world? "
Ambrose looked at Gabriel meaningfully and sighed secretly in his heart.
At first he looked down on this blond sissy because from the outside, this gentle man just took advantage of some opportunities and relied on luck to sit in this powerful position, but the accuracy of his questions and his keen understanding made Ambrose admire him.
Obviously this guy is just a native who has no knowledge at all, but the questions he asks are very sharp, which makes people patiently answer them seriously.
Ambrose had met the natives of other closed worlds. Every question they asked was extremely funny and their worldview was narrow and pitiful. Most people had naive ideas like "It turns out there is a world outside this world. If I become the strongest person in this world, I should be able to gain corresponding respect outside."
Even if you tell these people the form of existence of the world they live in, they will not be able to immediately understand the essence of the world.
Gabriel obviously realized this and found some subtle contradictions in the conversation very quickly. As long as these contradictions could be resolved, his understanding of the outside world would be deeper.
The question Gabriel just asked about Su Ming was actually a mysterious question that even he was not very clear about.
"This brings us to the concepts of high and low dimensions. You also have such concepts here, which are actually similar to ours, except that the way your power circulates is easier to understand and simpler, just like the power that leaks out from the previous piece of paper is received by the person on the next piece of paper, who then uses it to perform special powers. The previous piece of paper is the higher dimension.
And if you go higher, you will find that this high-dimensional power flows down from another place. You don’t know that place, and neither do we. We outsiders speculate that there is an ultimate area, and the high-dimensional power flows out from that place continuously, flowing from high to low like water. Most of the power will not leave any trace. Only special can catch some of it and use it.
This conjecture has nothing to do with your question just now, but if you want to understand how Su Ming uses his power, you must know this conjecture. "
Gabriel listened very carefully. In order to make Gabriel not believe in knowledge that was not 100% correct, Ambrose added: "I want to state in advance that the use of Su Ming's power is just a guess. Except for some people in the Lighthouse's senior management, no one knows how he uses that power. If you still want to continue listening, then I will continue."
"Thank you, I'm very interested." Gabriel said.
Ambrose glanced at Night Owl beside him and continued, "Imagine that the power of the higher dimension is rushing down like a waterfall, and we, the superpowers, are cups placed under the waterfall. These cups can allow the water in the cups to evaporate slowly. The act of evaporation is the activation of superpowers. This should be understandable, right?"
"That's a very vivid metaphor. Please continue."
"The speed of water evaporation varies. The faster the evaporation, the stronger the power of the person. The slower the evaporation, the weaker the power of the person. However, the speed is often related to the volume of water in the cup. Compared with the waterfall that is constantly poured into it, the evaporation process of water in the cup is very slow. The water that remains in the cup can be understood as our abnormality.
Therefore, the abnormality cannot be reduced unless you, as the container, become weaker and the volume of the cup decreases synchronously.
Su Ming himself can be understood as a special cup with a lid on it and a hole at the bottom. The lid can be opened and the hole can be blocked. When he wants to use his supernatural powers, he blocks the hole at the bottom and opens the lid at the top to let the waterfall above pour in.
When he doesn't want to use his supernatural powers, he just puts the lid on the cup, opens the hole below, and emptys the water in the cup. He is the person who can keep the cup empty even in the waterfall.
In addition, as long as he wants, he can adjust the amount of water in his cup at any time to keep his abnormality at a desired level. He can take half a cup of water or a quarter of a cup of water. With this advantage, he can move freely in most areas of the world.
In addition... the most crucial point is that Su Ming's cup not only has many functions, but also has an absurdly large capacity."
Ambrose gave Gabriel a meaningful look, and Gabriel nodded slightly, as if he had gained something.
"So this guy is so strong, but if he is so strong, why is his current performance so average? From what I see, he has not shown any strength to rival the strongest people in this world. Can you explain what's going on?"
"Because he has lost his memory. Mr. Gabriel, you can think of Su Ming's memory as a switch to open the lid and the hole at the bottom of the cup. Now that he has lost his memory, he cannot use these two functions flexibly. Before he lost his memory, Su Ming would definitely turn off all the switches in order to maintain his existence and stability in the current world... So, this is our best chance to kill Su Ming!"
After saying these words, Ambrose did not beat around the bush. He got straight to the point and said, "I hope you can pay more attention to hunting Su Ming. If you take it lightly, the sleeping lion will bite back. At that time, we can leave here and continue to flee, but I'm afraid you won't run away, right?"
What he said was already very subtle. The reality was that Gabriel had no way to escape and didn't know how to escape.
The purpose of Ambrose pointing this out, in addition to making Gabriel feel a sense of crisis, was also to throw out a bait - they knew how to escape.
He believed that the other party was a smart person and should understand what he was saying.
Gabriel glanced at the other party and smiled: "Don't worry, I take this matter very seriously. The person going this time is one of the strongest in this world. With him, killing Su Ming should not be a problem."
Night Owl frowned and said in a deep voice: "That young man who looks quite conceited is one of the strongest people in this world?"
He still couldn't believe it.
"Yes, that's the truth! Mr. Night Owl, you should still remember the blow you suffered in the Endless Cave. That person was a super master of the same level as the White-Haired Girl you met... A lion will try its best to fight a rabbit. Su Ming poses such a huge threat to the Mysterious Eye, how could I possibly find some small fry to do this? After all, I'm not the villain in the novel who gives experience to the protagonist." Gabriel smiled and joked, looking calm and confident.
Ye Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and then he showed a shocked expression. He could never have imagined that the arrogant-looking young man was actually a top master at the same level as the White-Haired Girl!
If Gabriel did not lie, then Gabriel was indeed very serious about Su Ming!
Gabriel looked at Night Owl, chuckled, and continued, "The reason why we only let that person go alone is to prevent others from giving Su Ming superpowers. Too many small fish will only get in the way, what do you think?"
He only told Ambrose and Night Owl one of the reasons. He sent Alfred for another purpose, which was to ensure the safety of the others.
Now it is known that Queen Xia Xiaoyu is right beside Su Ming. If no one is sent out who can see Xia Xiaoyu and is strong, then no matter how many people go, they will be killed instantly by Xia Xiaoyu. He cannot explain this reason to Ambrose and Night Owl, because Xia Xiaoyu's unknowable cause and effect is absolute and thorough.
Gabriel asked Ambrose and Night Owl about their intentions, but neither of them was willing to join the Mystic Eye.
Especially Night Owl, this man's attitude was very strange. I heard that when Night Owl first found them, he had the idea of joining the Mystic Eye, but after Ambrose appeared, Night Owl suddenly changed his previous intention and no longer considered joining the Mystic Eye. No one knew the reason.
However, these minor issues are not important at the moment, and Gabriel doesn't take them to heart at all. He only needs to make sure that his interests are consistent with those of these visitors from other dimensions.
Of course, this is a game process, and he will never cooperate actively and enthusiastically.
If they want him to cooperate, these people must show some sincerity and benefits, such as more information from the outside world and ways to leave the current world.
Gabriel clasped his hands and placed them on his crossed thighs, his posture was uninhibited yet somewhat chic. With a smile on his lips, he stared at the teacup in front of him for a long while, and suddenly raised his head as if he had made some decision.
"You two, I have a request, could you please help me?"
