Chapter 1720 Cats’ Communication and Cognitive Bias

Three days had passed since the emperor jumped from the assault transport boat, carrying a heavy linen canvas travel bag in one hand and a shield in the other. The basalt desert they were in would be known as the Black Desert of the Levant in the future. The black basalt that covered the ancient extinct volcano craters had not yet been completely ground into gravel by the wind, and dense acacia trees grew everywhere.

Here lived a group of people who grew rye. Archaeologists in the 20th century would hold the rye bread baked by these people and the residue of brewing beer, and call this group of people Natufians. This rich land has more than a hundred kinds of grains and fruits and other edible plants. Before launching the expedition, the emperor established a supply station here to transport nuts and fruit wine from here to Eridu every six months. Now the supply station here has been converted to military use, to supply cargo ships sailing from the eastern Mediterranean and along the coast of the Red Sea, and to transport food from here to the troops on the Egyptian front.

It is worth mentioning that the Natufians, who were fishing and hunting, often sent food to wild African cats to solve the problem of rats. This was the first time that humans domesticated this animal. In order to ensure that the goods were not eaten by rats, many cargo ships from the Eridu civilization would also load a few cats on the cargo ships when passing through the Natufian civilization. When there was no rat infestation on the ship, the crew would fish for the cats to eat. After the cargo ship arrived at its destination, some cats would jump off the ship without any nostalgia and come to Egypt in North Africa where their ancestors were born. This led to many Egyptian villages trying to domesticate wild cats in just a few decades, so that a large group of cats were also raised in the temple of Eridu, and there were special people responsible for cleaning the cats and laying collective cat beds.

Inanna summoned several gazelles and asked them to carry the linen travel bag carried by the emperor and her and Dinah. As for the emperor himself, because the gazelles could not carry the men in armor, he could only walk beside the group of gazelles. At first she was a little worried that they would reject the emperor's proposal after finding the immortal, but after a day she gave up thinking about these issues and devoted herself to the camping activities.

The travel bag contained linen woven by the temple women and tents made of mild steel produced by the hydraulic steelworks. In addition to a small stove and iron pot, Dinah's backpack was filled with spices and toiletries, which could make the journey very comfortable. The emperor never mentioned the destination of this trip again, and Inanna didn't care. She just had to enjoy the journey. Even if traveling in sparsely populated lands, the emperor and Dinah still lived as if they were staying in the palace.

When the temperature was too high at noon, the emperor would stop to camp, and Dinah would take out the sweet wine prepared in advance for the emperor and Inanna to enjoy. When camping at night, Dinah would use the cooking utensils, fats and seasonings brought from Eridu, combined with the wild animals hunted by the emperor during his travels and the precious desert iron truffles, to cook an extremely delicious dinner. Moreover, whenever they stopped at a place, the emperor would use mysterious spells to make a huge wooden barrel, summon water from the river, heat it with burning wood, and provide it for the three of them to bathe together.

They could wash away the dust and sweat from the journey, and soak the muscles that had accumulated lactic acid with warm water. Inanna was very interested in inviting the emperor to enjoy pleasure with her under the starry sky, which was an experience she had never had before. There were no beds and incense covered with perfume, no maids around the bedroom recording the process, only the animal calls accompanied by the breeze from the sea and the food with aphrodisiac effect (truffles), she could hardly suppress her vigorous desire. Inanna leaned over and kissed Salomon, lying on his chest, breathing the breath of sweat with fascination.

Under the deep black night sky, her beautiful eyes, brighter than Venus, sparkled with amazing psychic brilliance, her sweaty skin reflected the moonlight that sprinkled on the acacia forest, and the cool summer night breeze carried the sweet smell of ointment.

"How long do you plan to stay in this era, dear sky king." Inanna's voice, with the tremor of the physical universe and the sea of ​​soul, penetrated the chest directly, "Don't try to lie to me, I know your confidentiality rules, you won't say anything until the end. Before this operation, I didn't even know that we had to go through a camping trip! Of course, I'm not saying that this camping trip is bad, but since you started your own plan, we have less and less time to avoid the Guardian Order and enjoy the pleasure. If Dinah hadn't followed you, I'm afraid Constantine would not agree to this operation."

"I must be cautious in revealing any information and try to avoid history from deviating from what I know, because I I don't know which known history was created by my plan. All experiments must be limited, only in this way can we avoid changing history and causing a large amount of entropy increase, which will attract the attention of the outer dimension. "Salomon looked up at the starry sky above his head, catching the light of ancient stars millions of light years away, passing through the long universe, and finally falling into his eye sockets, "The enemy is hiding among these stars, waiting for us to conquer. But they noticed me, and if they find me, all conquests will become foam on the waves and disappear in the sun. "

"Then will you stay here forever?"

"No, this plain can only offer me a limited amount. "

Inanna blinked and said nothing.

Salomon looked down at Inanna's eyes, as if he was looking at another person. The light of the stars millions of light years away flickered in his eyes, entangled with his psychic power. As a body deeply integrated with the outer dimension and the material universe, his and Inanna's existence alone was enough to change reality and shake the laws of physics. On weekdays, he and Inanna suppressed their power, fearing that they would cause irreparable damage to the people of Eridu. Despite this, the number of new psychics in Eridu continued to increase, which did not conform to the situation after the psychic wave gradually subsided.

After the gods returned to the inner side of the planet to live, the psychic wave on Earth was gradually subsiding, but humans who were affected by psychic power and had gifts from the gods began to awaken on a large scale. The increasing number of psychics and the abuse of psychic magic had seriously affected the barrier between the real plane and the outer dimension, further leading to a vicious cycle of increasing psychics.

In order to solve the increasing number of psychics in the city of Eridu, the emperor and Inanna began to take action decades ago. In the emperor's future plans, the temple priests will be deeply involved in his and Inanna's experiments to create psychic entities in the outer dimension - the psychics in Eridu will become temple priests according to gender, and the emperor will teach all psychics how to recognize the outer dimension and the psychic entities in the outer dimension, control their own power and try to drive these "evil spirits".

The education received by male and female priests is not exactly the same. The male priests master the power of fire and lightning, and the female priests taught by Inanna master the magic of controlling lust, fertility and war. It was not until the moment he wrote the plan on the parchment that Salomon realized that he was walking along the established historical trajectory.

Perhaps in the future, the temple priests will use the knowledge they have learned from him to develop outward, constantly absorb members, and eventually worship his experimental products as sacred objects and gods due to the loss of history and knowledge. Long before the trip to the Himalayas, the emperor realized that the origins of the two organizations, the Sage of Light and the Witch of Shadow, might be related to him. The Eye of the World, which was regarded as a god and treasure by the two organizations, might be the product of the recent plan. The plan at this stage was to create an extradimensional entity. The next stage was to combine the extradimensional entity with the physical body of the material plane to reproduce the process of this planet creating him. He didn't know when he lost control of the temple priests, but as a person who created history, he couldn't change this reality. Otherwise, the huge entropy increase caused by human disturbances would cause the gods in the outer dimension to notice him at the first time, and the ultimate purpose of time travel would be completely meaningless.

Salomon was not worried about the temple priests getting out of control, because this body had solved this problem before it was an adult. If there were any problems that could not be solved, he believed that he could easily solve them with his sword. What really confused him was Inanna's role in this process. He reviewed Inanna's influence range with his memory and was sure that Inanna would travel with him and walk around the planet after completing this plan.

When did Inanna disappear, and why did she look exactly like Bayonetta?

Is Bayonetta a derivative or a possession of Inanna?

Will the disturbance of the soul cause problems for Bayonetta, who is eight thousand years away?

He landed in this era from a million years ago. Is it because of the connection between him and Bayonetta or Inanna's soul? The only thing that can be confirmed is that Bayonetta also has the essence of Inanna, which is the mark left by the soul of an intelligent creature in the outer dimension. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why he was attracted to Bayonetta in the first place. Or maybe he was attracted to Bayonetta first, which led to him landing in this era where Inanna, who is related to Bayonetta, exists?

The real answer is unknown. The outer dimension itself is a place beyond common sense. Things affected by the outer dimension cannot be recognized by the logic of the human cognitive world. Anti-common sense and anti-logic are the norm of the outer dimension. The relationship between Inanna and Bayonetta is different from what he imagined. Many questions have not been answered, but he has eight thousand years to slowly explore the answers. Time gave him room for error, and he was no longer as nervous as he was in the 21st century.

"You have to come with me, we are going to travel around the world." Salomon raised his hand and stroked Inanna's long hair. He has already planned a travel route, and the last stop on Earth will be the Himalayas. When Agamotto completes his mission and is promoted to one of the Vishantis, he will cast the first foundation of the future Kamar-Taj there, lay the first brick, and complete the task given to him by fate. "When the war here is over, we will go to another continent, and maybe people in the future will call us by other names. Our fates are already entangled, and mortals' concept of time scale will not be able to measure the length of our companionship."

At Inanna's command, several gazelles followed the footsteps of humans and moved slowly, against their nature. The emperor stepped on the desertified Levantine Black Desert on the Mediterranean coast, and finally stopped in front of a stone brick house that looked nothing like a local one. "The owner here is not at home, we can wait." Salomon said, "It is said that the Kree's scientific research base on Uranus was occupied by these immortals. After losing the nearest hyperspace route in the solar system, the process of the Kree coming here was very long. It can be said that if there were no immortals, it would be impossible for us to fight against the Kree with an army of 2,000 people."

"In other words, we should thank them?" Inanna raised her eyebrows and asked with interest. She knew that the emperor had no good opinion of these people, and the sudden compliment meant that he would do something cruel. "You said before that these immortals are creatures created by the gods from tens of thousands of humans. Their essence is the same as ours."

"We are a natural combination of the sea of ​​souls and the material universe. They are part of the samples used by the Celestial Group to test the possibility of human genes. The other part is hidden as a variant of the by-product of the experiment and does not share the glory with their brother groups. This group of people who claim to be eternal are both experiments and servants. They possess technology and knowledge given by the gods and regard themselves as gods. "

"My people and I don't think so. In fact, this is the reason for the first division. We believe that we should not actively interfere with mankind. Ouranos and his followers did not think so, so they went to that planet ——I heard that you gave the hidden planet a name. Now we have re-accepted the descendants of that planet, at least some of the new Eternals who agree with our concept. "I don’t know when, a person dressed in gray. The man in the linen cloak stood in front of the stone-brick hut. "In addition, our relationship with the aberrants is not as friendly as you said. The wars and sacrifices we have made between us and the aberrants to protect humans are beyond your imagination." Obviously, the emperor's words made him very dissatisfied. He retorted harshly, "We are not exactly servants of the gods. We have free will."

"The orders written deep in the genetic code cannot be resisted. When the gods come, you cannot resist their orders, but I can raise my sword against them. This is the difference between us."

"Although I didn't participate in that war, I saw your image from the god's database. I know what you did. Your hands are stained with the blood of our people. What that butcher Odin did is more... Not one percent of you." The man glared at the emperor forcefully, "Your messenger gave me your letter two years ago. I don't think you came here to talk about these nonsense."

"Tell me, where is Arras, the son of Kenoros." The emperor asked, "I heard that he plans to use the technology and equipment of the Celestials to create Eternals in batches and expand your tribe."

"Look up, the moon next to the largest planet." the man said, "I objected to the creation of derivatives of that, so they accepted most of the Uranian Eternals. Also, I don't think Arras's experiment was successful No, he just created a degraded version of the Eternals. Alas named them Titans, just like the creatures that walked on this land before the birth of Homo erectus. If he continues according to Alas's ideas, the Eternals will become Titans. Like the anomalies, they are multiplying on the earth faster than hares."

"Who are you?" Inanna jumped off the gazelle and looked at the man curiously. He looked exhausted and completely unkempt, his only visible feature being the blond hair that stretched out from under his hood. "Are you the immortal?"

"I am Icarus, a member of the Eternals." The man said, "Standing in front of me is the butcher of the Eternals. He killed at least twenty of my people. Together with their immortal essence, he will forever be Killed."

"I am honored to receive this title. The blood of my enemies will always be my crown." The emperor waved his hand. At that time, the Eternals stood together with the gods, trying to convince the gods that the condition of the earth was good enough, and trying to prevent other forces from resisting the gods, believing that the matter could be resolved peacefully. For this idiot, the emperor chose the simplest way to deal with it, which was complete destruction. The Eternals killed by him will not even have their souls left behind and will never be resurrected.

"You never knew the purpose of the gods in creating the Eternals, did you? You always thought that the gods created you to protect humans and this planet. So why did the gods conduct the same experiment on different planets in the universe? Including Kree Humans are actually derivatives of the gods' experiments, just like the Titans created by your Eternals, but the technology used to create the Kree is worse. "

For the first time, Icarus did not contradict the emperor's story. He stood here, frowning.

"You are a race created based on human genes, Icarus. God created you to show the potential of human genes. At least in God's plan, you will be the most perfect sample of the human race, and you will be used to fight against A real threat."

"What threat?" Icarus asked.

"First, we must synchronize cognitive biases. The question is very simple: how many times have gods come to earth?"

"Four times. The Gods tested the Eternals, the Abnormals, and humans four times. The first time the Gods created the Eternals and the Abnormals, the second time the Gods triggered a cataclysm and destroyed the homes of the Abnormals, and the third time It is going on at the same time as the fourth one, which is the war you participated in." Ikaros replied without hesitation, "This is common sense that any Eternal race knows. Every time they come, the gods will judge whether humans. It should continue to exist, and our task is to maintain this world and ensure that the outcome of God’s judgment is beneficial to humans and this planet.”

This statement is correct, but Kamar-Taj uses the purpose of the gods' coming as a method of dividing the number of comings. As of the war mentioned by Ikaros, the Kamar-Taj Library collectively calls it the second coming. Except for the first coming, the purpose of the gods coming to Earth is to check the results of their own experiments. No matter what they do, they essentially use the Earth as a test field.

"In fact, the gods have come to Earth once more than you know, long before the gods created you." Inanna knew what the emperor was going to say next. Thirty years ago, when she first heard the truth, she was so surprised that she almost couldn't speak. Now she felt a little sorry for Ikaros. She didn't know if he could bear such a dark truth. "That was the real first coming. The gods did not come to conduct experiments, but to avoid the enemy. But he failed, and he died on this planet. His polluted and corrupt blood affected the entire ecosystem, including humans. The first coming you know is actually the second. The original purpose of the gods coming to this planet was just to recycle the bodies of their companions."

"Are there enemies of the gods in this universe? And the gods don't have blood. They are purely inorganic creatures." Ikaros laughed, "If you say such stupid things again, I won't invite you into the house to enjoy beer."

"Of course there are no enemies in the physical universe, but enemies do not only exist in the physical universe, and the gods in the physical universe are not incorruptible flesh and blood. Haven't you realized, Ikaros, that you have a power that the gods cannot have. Your soul can You can contact the outer dimension, you have psychic power, which is the power you call the secret power of the universe. The gods calmed the violent waves of the sea of ​​souls through the psychic device of the earth machine, allowing you to use this power calmly, but no matter what name you give it, the essence of this power will not change. "

"What does this mean?"

"Humans, intelligent creatures with the combined power of gods and outer dimensions, have the ultimate potential to fight against outer dimensions. You are just insects put into the fields to prey on pests. "The real crop is humans, or more precisely, the psychic potential of the human race. You think you are protecting humans, but in fact you are just protecting the food of the gods. "

Recently, I was a little too excited to write the Harry Potter brain hole story. My group friends urged me to update it and found that I had written more than 4000 words in this chapter, but it was not posted yet. I thought about it and wrote a little more.
