Chapter 1608: 443 Door of Thought and Golden Ticket_3
From the very first collision, a larger earthquake was triggered along with a terrifying impact wave.
Matthew was sent flying a good distance by the shockwave, and although he wasnât seriously injured, he no longer wished to approach the war zone.
âBetter to see if I can find Lost Paradise earlier, find it and Iâll run away!â
Matthew continued his search in the surrounding area.
Affected by the scale of the war.
The number of Resentful Spirits on the streets had considerably decreased, allowing Matthew to walk around at ease.
However, after several turns.
He still hadnât found any trace of that little boy from before.
This made Matthew somewhat dejected.
He estimated the time.
There were about forty minutes left before daylight, and near the Magic Tower, two Supreme Limits fought relentlessly, seemingly determined to level the area completely.
According to the current trend.
There wouldnât be a result before daybreak.
âWhy not take this chance to re-examine those buildings locked by the suspicious Elemental Marks?â
This thought had just sprung up in Matthewâs mind.
When suddenly a tall shadow flashed in front of him.
From its stature, it was clear that it was a troll!
âAnnie Salvens?â
Matthewâs heart stirred, and he immediately followed.
It seemed like she was tracking someone.
It wasnât long.
Before Matthew caught up behind her, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
Not far away.
Was the little boy, seriously engrossed in reading a book!
At this point Annie also became aware of Matthewâs approaching footsteps.
She first showed an instinctive defensiveness, then her expression grew complicated, but in the end, she didnât make any unfriendly moves, and just said softly:
âIâve been following for a while, but I canât get close to him.â
It was only then that Matthew realized.
A tight barrier existed around the little boy.
This barrier completely segregated his presence and the nearby space from the surroundings, no wonder he seemed non-existent to Matthewâs Insight.
Matthew walked a circle around the barrier.
And couldnât find a way in.
Annie shrugged helplessly at him.
It was at that moment.
The little boy suddenly said leisurely:
âWhy not try to search for a door to enter?â
âYou should know, any place that is difficult to enter, always has a door.â
Annieâs face immediately lit up with joy at these words.
And Matthewâs data panel also received new information.
âŠ
âHint: Find the Door of Thought, and you can enter the âPure Land Outside of Paradise.ââ
âŠ
So this space is called the Outside of Paradise, huh?
Then the identity of the little boy is almost certain!
Annie next to him had already started to look around earnestly, searching for any traces of a possible door.
However, Matthew pondered for a moment, and then unsheathed the Sword of Slaughter from his back!
In the surprised gaze of the little boy.
Matthew, holding the Sword of Slaughter, thrust it into the barrier!
Crack crack!
Sounds like shattering glass rang out as Matthew plunged the Sword of Slaughter in completely, then brutally cut a door out of the barrier!
The next second.
He noticed a gap appeared before him, so he stepped through.
Annie stood frozen in place for several seconds.
And quickly followed him in, flustered.
The little boy put down his book, appearing slightly angry:
âWhy would you stab me out of nowhere?â
âDo you know what the Door of Thought isâitâs a mental door that can only be opened through wisdom and thought!â
âDid you think? Or did you just stab wildly?â
Matthew weighed the long sword in his hand, then blinked:
âThis is the result of my thinking.â
He was quite satisfied with the Sword of Slaughterâs ability to break the barrier.
The little boy seemed speechless.
But in the end.
He sat down slowly.
âEven if you brute-force your way in and skip the first checkpoint that tests wisdom, if your next answers donât satisfy me, youâll still have a hard time getting what you want.â
He continued to read his book.
As if asking offhandedly:
âTell me, why do sentient beings always slaughter each other?â
Matthew didnât directly answer, but counter-asked:
âWhat does answering your question signify?â
The little boy thought for a while:
âIt doesnât signify anything, but if you want to be the master of Lost Paradise, you have to let me know what kind of people you are.â
It truly was Lost Paradise!
Upon hearing that, Annie immediately stepped forward, her tone slightly excited:
âI am a descendant of the Salvens FamilyâŠâ
The little boy said, with some exasperation:
âI just want to know what kind of people you are, Iâm not interested in what your ancestors were like.â
Annie was stunned there.
She seemed somewhat at a loss for what to do.
The little boy was mild in his manners toward her:
âIf you havenât thought it through, go aside and think about it.â
âOnce youâve made up your mind, come and tell me your answer.â
Afterward.
He looked at Matthew as though he had anticipated it.
Matthew said thoughtfully:
âThis question is too broad, the reasons are naturally varied.â
âSlaughter is itself the main theme of life, the law of the jungle is the survival of the fittest, even intelligent beings arenât much better than ordinary animals in this regard.â
âFrom this perspective, killing each other is a necessity for survival.â
âEven within a stable Wisdom Species, conflicts arise over resources, dignity, power, and the like.
Some always strive to rise above others, and there are always those who will stand up to fight back.
The fighters may not always succeed, the bullies may not always last.
Bullying and resistance might just be instincts etched in the bloodlines of many Wisdom Species.
With these come disputes and contradictions.
