Chapter 1305 Welcome to the Azkaban Institute

Does such a civilization exist in the world?

I don’t know, I haven’t seen it.

But the universe is so big that there are naturally infinite possibilities.

"Originally I just wanted to kill Elhaisen, but now maybe I can add you in!" After being pointed at and scolded for a long time, Siraj's tone became calm.

"No. 36, return to the hive!"

Elias turned away in silence.

"Hey! No!" Paimon said hurriedly, "Didn't we get along like friends all the way here? You didn't become a loner, and as Jiang... the cat said, his group is totally wrong."

"Ying and Paimon, right?" Siraj looked at the two of them. "I know you are people who travel around, friends? You can't stay in the Order forever. If you leave, tragedy will happen again."

"..." Paimeng was furious. What the other party said was right, but...

"It's okay, we can use the jade slips to keep in touch. Internet friends are the latest trend. The world is so big, you can always find like-minded people on the Internet." She had a flash of inspiration and refuted.

After a security assessment by the Ministry of Education and the decision from above.

The Ministry of Education has recently allowed Liyue Fusheng Technology Rune Company to open a branch here and select an agent to sell the jade slips.

"Are you doing something wrong by looking for friendship in a virtual world?" As a scholar of the Karma School, Siraj has naturally also conducted research on Liyue's online society.

"It's even harder to guard against online deception! And people always have to focus on reality. Real life is the foundation of everything."

"I understand human nature better than you do. Scholars of the Fatma House are keen on dangerous research in a radical atmosphere, but become idle in a depressed atmosphere. Even people with sharp edges want to become sociable after suffering setbacks."

"Is there no exclusion and isolation on the Internet? Those communities, those free-speaking, hidden words can be sweeter or more hurtful."

"I dared to let No. 36 leave the hive without his memory because I knew he would come back in the end."

"I understand human nature better than you do—"

"For social creatures, being gregarious is their nature. Even in the virtual world, there are people who follow suit and make themselves look like the same as others. Even though they don't like it, they still play the same games and watch the same movies."

At this moment, Jiang Yi felt that Siraj really showed the wisdom of a scholar who had studied sociology in understanding society.

But...didn’t he notice?

Their cluster is essentially no different from the society built by people who escape reality and only focus on the Internet. They are both havens for escapees to gather together.

Of course the other party knows this.

But he seemed to think it was insignificant, and perhaps even felt it was better, as he was able to complete his experiment more stably.

"The end point of 'gregariousness' is collective consciousness. Say some last words! Alhaisen." Siraj stopped competing with a cat and looked at his target, Alhaisen.

Ilias has returned to the Hive.

"The shiny packaging does not change its fragile nature... I said this a year ago." Elhaisen said calmly, "Didn't you notice that the hive you are in has changed with the return of Ilias?"

"Also, you murdered the acting sage to take the position. Do you think you can hide it from the gods?"

"But I don't blame you. After all, we have never accepted the rule of God before. Many people still look down on the Little Lucky Grass King."

Siraj clenched his hands.

In that battle between gods, the Little Auspicious Grass King actually did not display any special qualities or divine power that could be understood by mortals.

He...also had no chance to meet the Little Auspicious Grass King.

"The fear of failure in achieving your goals paralyzes you. With the hope that you can't turn back. Siraj, your hatred for me... makes you continue this foolish behavior. Just to prove to me the correctness of your thesis." Elhaisen looked at the dense forest behind Siraj.

"Are you really ready to bear this price?"

The projection screens around Siraj instantly changed from light green to a warning red.

There is confusion in the consciousness of the cluster.

The “cluster” needs power to execute its plans, just as machinery needs energy to operate.

“I remember that this is how everyone summarized the work of the scholars of the Causal Theory.”

"Either he's endorsing something, or he's refuting a rumor."

"There is a kind of clear beauty that comes from only reading books but not really seeing the world and society." Jiang Yi laughed, "Have you seen online rumors and online opinions? Everyone swarms in, and then swarms back. If they were also bees, there would be deceivers, deceived people, and people driven by interests or emotions..."

Elhaisen raised his eyebrows. "As the master consciousness, Siraj synchronized his hatred for me to the cluster, prompting the cluster members to formulate and implement a plan to eliminate me. When Elias returns to the cluster, his memories and emotions will be shared with other members, including their 'cognition' of me."

"It seems that, well! The 'rumor' has been dispelled."

“This is also a rumor refutation by the Yinlun School.”

"Pfft!" After seeing Jiang Yi, Ying had been taking a relaxed attitude towards how the matter would be resolved. At this moment, she almost laughed out loud.

You are killing people and destroying their hearts.

A fatal blow to a candidate for the next sage of the Yinlun School.

"No, no! This is much easier than refuting rumors in reality or on the Internet." Jiang Yi listened to the voices of the cluster members around him.

Siraj is driven by his hatred for Al Haisen.

Now, the sharing of memories and emotions makes Elias feel that the memories and emotions that Elhaisen does not hate are integrated into the cluster, causing the two emotions to conflict.

Questions were raised one after another in the collective consciousness.

They had never seen the little-known El Haisen, and the few times they heard people talk about him, the reviews were not good.

Before, I thought he was a bad guy and it was natural to hate him, but now it seems weird.

In Elias's eyes, the image of El Haisen began to replace that of a bad guy.

Elhaisen had known that Elias would return to the hive, and the trap had already been set.

Siraj took a deep breath and transmitted his anger towards the hateful cat to the entire group.

The piercing red screen gradually returned to light green.

"Ilias's return has indeed brought some strange emotions to the hive, but within the cluster, this little noise can't cause any waves at all." He remained calm.

"That's right. After all, it's human nature not to admit that one has done something wrong." Jiang Yi stated the objective facts.

But Siraj's chest heaved, and he felt like he was being provoked and was almost exploding with anger.

"Very good, very good... let you experience the horror of collective consciousness for yourself... and see if you are still so relaxed..." He has discovered that the people in front of him were not nervous at all when they heard that he was going to deal with Elhaisen.

Just like the tourists who come to visit this experimental base and then comment on it casually.

Well, in some sense, his feeling was right.

The crowd was not tourists, but Jiang Yi and Elhaisen really just came to visit the cluster.

Elhaisen tapped his earphones.

He had no interest in Siraj himself or his research, but was curious about "why so many people were willing to form a collective consciousness with him."

In the House of the Decrees, he had already received his answer.

It has something to do with the current atmosphere of the House of Religious Affairs.

The blessing of the fertile land of the God of Man and the special constellations of the Southern Dipper provided a lot of material for the papers of the Shenglun School and the Minglun School scholars, but others were not so lucky.

Not everyone is qualified to participate in the secret research led by the God of Wisdom.

Elhaisen knew that many of the scholars involved were researchers who had been at the base before. It was called redemption. In addition to their voluntary work, they usually returned to the place of exile to repent and receive education and reform.

All fame, benefits, food, clothing, housing and transportation enjoyment have nothing to do with these experienced and knowledgeable scholars who understand the construction of the divine body of the God of Righteousness.

Make the best use of everything and everyone. In the integration of resources and talents... a great god spreads the majesty of his own name to everyone in the prison and labor camp.

It's called the Human Devil.

This demon is the devil’s demon.

All people, including the Inazuma Hill people, were forced to voluntarily become ascetics who would build bricks and tiles for civilization and gods.

Even the souls of the dead have signed a contract with the devil and work to develop civilization.

It is reasonable to question whether Liyue has achieved such success in such a short period of time by asking the dead for help.

Further speculation is whether Fu Sheng Technology Rune Company is enslaving demons and monsters to obtain powerful productivity.

Siraj's experiment did not have a permit, but he was able to attract so many people. As for the lack of research projects in Xumi now, Elhaisen has already thought of a solution.

Elias's case should have a better outcome.

"Minimum diligent work" is the task of this acting sage. After visiting the experimental base and learning about the bad atmosphere in Xumi, he will be able to convince other people at the meeting.

A strong wind blew up from the dense forest. On the ground and in the sky, there appeared groups of mushroom beasts, long-maned tigers, slimes, deceitful flowers... and a green-winged terror mushroom formed by the aggregation of spore dreams.

El Haisen's hair was flying.

"Their numbers are ranked last, but they are also members of the cluster. In the cluster, even those with low intelligence can achieve wonderful coordination, just like rigorously trained soldiers." Siraj drove the monsters that emerged from the jungle and the earth veins like an endless wave on the platform.

"You, all of you, will pay the price for your endless arrogance."

The cry of the green-winged terror mushroom, the roar of the long-haired tiger, the encirclement of slimes and deceitful flowers... made Paimon... stunned for a moment.

"If this is your trump card, I think we are not arrogant, but confident." She also joined the team that mocked Siraj.

Obviously, the elemental power driven by these numerous monsters can overwhelm everyone in an instant.

Siraj was puzzled.

Of course, he knew that many holders of the Eye of God were very powerful, and that the traveler had a glorious record, but the power in his hands now was not to be underestimated.

Many monsters walked across the land, enough to freeze rivers, burn valleys, destroy forests, and flood cities...

This is the power of the cluster. Even without the Eye of God, the elemental power of these monsters can be used by them.

Eye of God, an organ of elemental power.

In the eyes of wise scholars, controlling elements and arranging spells have never been the exclusive domain of the holders of the Eye of God in the world of Teyvat.

"A cluster of pure monsters may be much more stable than a cluster with humans added in. By the way, have you ever tried to make them work?" Jiang Yi's gaze made Slime and Pianpianhua feel a chill.

"It is also their job to deal with you..." Siraj responded coldly and ordered the monsters to attack.

However, they found that when the monster came in front of these people, it did not mobilize any elemental power.

The leading mushroom beast was spinning happily, and the extremely tall, most powerful monster in the cluster, the Green-winged Terror Fungus, simply lowered its head.

The mandarin tiger retracted its sharp claws, the slimes became friendly, and the pranksters became quiet and beautiful.
