Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 414 - 212 A Way of Speaking Normal People Can Understand

Westerners initially thought that flame was a tangible element corresponding to water.

It wasn’t until the development of modern science that they understood flame to be merely a phenomenon of combustion.

Similarly, Western sorcerers in the past also considered magic power to be a describable force.

It’s like body hair, some people have more, others less, and some are born with the White Tiger Holy Body.

But in the "String Theory" written by the Grand Sorceress Mephistopheles Planck, the essence of magic power is described as the frequency of strings.

Just like a radio channel.

It’s not that you have a radio and can listen to whatever program you want.

You must tune to the right channel to receive the programs broadcast on that channel.

Of course, this is a hypothesis, and given the limited cognitive power of the people of this era, it cannot be said to be very accurate.

In Li Mumu’s view, this thing is like cosplay.

Going to a comic convention to cosplay as a two-dimensional character equates to a spellcasting process. Because you get every detail just right, and everyone praises you as the living embodiment of the character, the magic is successful.

"Lilith," as the Mother of Magic, and the high-dimensional strings in the String Theory, is like the organizer of the comic convention.

She determines the theme, time, and location of the convention and sets the relevant rules and ticket prices.

The participating vendors are like the other high-dimensional strings, and the ripples produced by their cooperation are reality.

What happened today is like... seeing a non-famous Russian female executive in front of the new headquarters of the Mi Family.

Or, to put it more colloquially, traveling to Xi’an and seeing a poised middle-aged handsome man slurping noodles in a noodle shop, surrounded by eight terracotta soldiers.

"If what you say is true, then it is very likely Lilith," Li Ya commented seriously after Li Mumu finished explaining the cause and effect.

"Those brainwashed by religion are accustomed to these antics, often trying to resurrect Jesus, or create Adam and Eve, or search for some holy relic of Cain or Noah... They are professionals at this, and they are obsessive. In their narrow worldview, this is the only way to solve real-world problems," she explained.

"God must be an all-knowing, all-powerful creator, and the Bible must be the unalterable truth. If there is any conflict with the real world, we must not have understood God’s will. Just wake God up, and everything will be fine—this is their thought process. If you think their methods are irrational, just view it from this perspective, and it will all make sense," she continued.

"So, it’s quite normal for them to create a Lilith; the only difference is that this Lilith is the one they imagine, not the real progenitor of humanity, the Mother of Magic," she concluded.

"Hmm..."

Li Mumu did not understand.

"To put it simply, let’s take our family as an example. I only want my daughter to inherit my witch’s bloodline, not mix in all sorts of nonsense. Do you think the Mumu in my eyes is the same as you?"

She understood this time.

"So, I think what you saw, that string, isn’t the real string; it’s just something that imitates the characteristics of a string, created based on their understanding of Lilith. And their real purpose, didn’t you just overhear it all?"

"It’s nothing more than imitating the biblical punishment of Lilith to carry out some kind of ritual magic."

"Is that story in the Bible?"

Li Mumu thought to herself, I grew up memorizing the Bible in Safo City, don’t try to fool me.

"Of course, that’s not in the public version of the Bible."

"Beelzebub’s record states that Lilith was the first woman created by God, who procreated with Adam to birth humanity, she also held God’s true name—sounds intriguing, doesn’t it. Later, due to a dispute over hierarchy with Adam, she used the power of God’s true name to flee... God sent three angels to capture Lilith, threatening to kill a hundred of her offspring every day if she didn’t return."

"They found Lilith in the sea of blood. She refused to return to Adam and threatened to bring diseases upon all newborns. Do you know what the result was? The angels stopped pursuing Lilith, and in exchange, Lilith promised that any newborn’s amulet that bore the names of the three angels would not be affected by her curse, while God would still kill a hundred of her offspring every day."

"Doesn’t it sound like a mutually compromising outcome where everyone gets what they want and everybody’s happy?"

"Actually, there are three layers of metaphors behind this story: physiological, familial, and historical. But for the Church of the Blood Cup, they neither have the capability nor the need to recreate the real Lilith."

"They just need to simplify the story to the point where even the uncle who sells pancakes and fruit wraps at the door can understand it."

"Lilith is like Monk Tang; consuming Monk Tang Flesh can grant immortality. But as soon as you harbor the idea of eating his flesh and act on it, you are defined as a monster and get killed by Monk Tang’s disciples."

"The price of eating the flesh is borne by the monster, while Monk Tang being eaten is in line with Buddha’s principle of offering his body to the eagle. Even if he isn’t eaten by a monster, he would relinquish his physical body at the foot of Mount Ling, which to him is ultimately inconsequential. Rather, the idea of self-sacrifice can actually enhance his divinity."

"So, the crux of the issue lies in what part of this story the Church of the Blood Cup ultimately wants to realize—the consequence that the monster must face, or Monk Tang’s successful quest for scriptures, or maybe they want both."

Even if you say that, the uncle selling pancakes and fruit wraps at the door still won’t understand!

Don’t overestimate the intelligence of people. Why would normal people waste their brain thinking about those twisted problems concocted by religious lunatics?

Li Mumu took a deep breath and used her rarely used girly voice, "Dear mommy, I just want to know, if it were you, how would you design this plan?"

"Hehe, foolish undutiful daughter."

Li Ya’s voice on the phone became lazy again.

"What’s there to design? Isn’t it obvious? You just lack understanding of them and are missing the most crucial piece of information. The plan is simple, make that child play the innocent, then find someone to kill her, and the murderer will bear Lilith’s curse. The identity of this murderer can be creatively determined, for instance, it could be determined that it was someone from the People of Ming who killed Lilith."

Li Mumu: "..."

Li Mumu: "???"

Hold on a second! Did you delete like two thousand words in that last sentence?

Why did it suddenly escalate from a single individual to the level of nations and ethnicities?

"That is the most crucial information—it’s called the power of definition, my dear sweetheart."

Li Ya laughed and said, "They are the servants of the creator, experts in manipulating the power of definition."
