Chapter Seventy-Four: Pre-War Preparations and ...... Inner demons

"Chu Xuan, it's boring like this now...... Is there anything else I want to do?"

In a room, Zheng Zhe was sitting on a chair staring at a flying fly, as if he had developed a strong interest in the fly, which was enough to see how bored he was. Beside him, Chu Xuan was sitting at a table, holding a quill pen and constantly flipping through some texts and maps, and making some annotations from time to time.

It had been several days since the Middle-earth team had eliminated Sauron's doppelganger, and Dinethor had woken up the next day, but his body and mind had been greatly damaged. So during this time, all these messes of Minas Tirith were handled by Boromo and Faramer, who rushed back, and now the two of them barely touched the ground with their feet on the ground, sitting at their desks all day.

The members of the Zhongzhou team were basically idle except for Chu Xuan, and Chu Xuan was responsible for helping Boromo and the others deal with some less important texts, and the rest of them were naturally idle. In fact, Yang Yun and the others were fine, but Zheng Zha couldn't hold it back, so he took the opportunity to ask Chu Xuan today.

"What do you want to do?" The pen in Chu Xuan's hand didn't stop for even a moment, he just said lightly: "I still have some work here, the current population of Gondor is only a million, even if we solve the internal worries of Minas Tirith in advance, it is still a very troublesome move to recruit troops, do you want to recruit troops?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Do you have any other jobs?"

"Yes, most of the new recruits were rabble, and there were even some farmers and fishermen who made up the numbers. Chu Xuan put a piece of text beside him: "If you want them to become actual combat power, then they definitely need training, Cheng Xiao and Wang Xia are not here, are you going to be this instructor?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can't you just let me do something more interesting?"

"And what do you want to do?"

"For example...... Let me chop some orcs or something. Zheng Zhe thought for a moment and said, "It stands to reason that Mordor's orc army should be on the way here, why don't you let me intercept and kill it first?" Minas Tirith is very big, and if something goes wrong during the defense of the city, I can't take care of everything." Instead of being beaten passively, it is better to reduce the number of enemies first, I guess it would be better to do that, okay?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Hearing this, Chu Xuan didn't speak, he just stopped the movement in his hand and looked at Zheng Zha with that emotionless gaze, which made Zheng Zha feel a chill in his back.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me with your eyes? Is there something on my face? Or did you say something strange?" Zheng Qi first touched his face, and then found that there was nothing strange on it, and then he shouted loudly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little strange, why did you suddenly say that?" Chu Xuan shook his head and asked rhetorically.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Am there something wrong with what I said?"

Zheng Qi thought carefully about what he had just said, and after confirming that there was nothing strange, he asked with a strange face: "Chu Xuan, you are very strange today, what you say is always covered in clouds and mountains." ”

"There's something wrong. Chu Xuan replied with a serious face: "If that was said by any one of the team just now, I wouldn't feel strange, but it was a little strange for you to say it. ”

"Tell me something strange......

Zheng Zha just wanted to ask again, but Chu Xuan lowered his head again and said, "This should not have been said by me, you should be able to understand what kind of changes have occurred in your body with the improvement of strength...... That's the basic situation, above. ”

―――――――― Dividing Line――――――――

"Yang Yun, I have something I want to ask you...... What are you doing?"

Since Chu Xuan was reluctant to say it, then Zheng Qi could only go to Yang Yun to solve his doubts. But what made him strange was that he couldn't find Yang Yun anywhere, and finally when he passed through the atrium and was about to go to Zhan Lan for help, he was surprised to find that Yang Yun had moved a chair and sat next to the withered white tree in the atrium with his eyes closed.

Hearing Zheng Zha's surprised voice, Yang Yun opened his eyes, waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Oh, that's the case...... Zheng Zha didn't think much about it, he told the conversation between himself and Chu Xuan as it was, and finally said, "Yang Yun, what do you think, do you think there is any change in me?"

"I think what Chu Xuan said is probably your character. ”

Yang Yun thought for a while and said, "What Chu Xuan said is right, it would be better if someone else said this, but now it is you who said this." Although it's not good to say, you usually give people the feeling that you are a good person, not to say that you are kind, but you are kind to ordinary people who are not hostile, that is, you don't want to let your hands get too much blood. ”

"Now you offer to take the initiative to kill the orcs, and you would never take the initiative to do so if you were before. It seems that although you were able to maintain a clear will while unlocking the fourth-order genetic lock, the demons still affected your personality in a certain way. Zheng Zhe, you still haven't survived the demons, have you?"

Zheng Zhe touched his head and said, "After you said this, I thought about it, it is true, it seems that this demon needs to be crossed as much as possible, and the longer it drags on, the more disadvantageous it will be." But what the hell is going to do? I don't know what to do. ”

"Hmm......"

For this question, Yang Yun couldn't answer Zheng Zha with certainty. The heart demon is a different thing, if the Zheng Zha in the original book he would know that the heart demon is nothing more than a copy of himself, but that Zheng Zhe's spiritual light is a hidden dragon change. The Zheng Zha in front of him is obviously different from the Zheng Zha in the infinite horror, and the light of this Zheng Zha's soul is the white flame opposite to the white flame of the clone Zheng Zha...... Who can guarantee that his inner demon is still a clone Zheng Zha?

And the most important point is, will the current Zheng Zha really lose to the replica Zheng Zha in Resident Evil II?

Seeing that Yang Yun didn't speak for a long time, Zheng Zhe also smiled. He patted Yang Yun on the shoulder and said, "Forget it, it's okay, I'll solve my own affairs by myself, this shouldn't be something you should worry about." ”

"You can see ......" Yang Yun smiled bitterly: "Forget it, I really can't help you too much in terms of the heart demon, but it's okay to roughly guess and explain, after all, I have also entered the heart demon." ”

"First of all, people who enter the inner demon will fall into a tyrannical state, although the state of the inner demon is varied, but in fact, people's heads are full of tyrannical consciousness, and they can't distinguish between themselves and their enemies at all, and everyone around them will be attacked by them. And this tyrannical consciousness in turn suppresses the individual's ontological consciousness, so unless you see through your own inner demons, the person who falls into the inner demon will only fall deeper and deeper, just like when you first entered the inner demon, you almost cut us all down. ”

"Uh......" Zheng Zha obviously remembered what he did when he unlocked the fourth-order gene lock, and smiled wryly.

"According to my guess, the demon of the mind should refer to the 'self', that is, the extreme amplification of one's desires, the infinite amplification. Yang Yun organized his language slightly: "The so-called id, ego, and superego only refer to the three states of human nature. The ego refers to one's self-desire, the driving force behind one's progress, while the ego is the state of rational thinking, which denies feelings and actions that are not good for oneself, and the superego, which can be regarded as one's most virtuous, moral, and hopeful realm, and a person is divided into these three parts, the id, the ego, and the superego. ”

"Zheng Zhe, I think that if you want to overcome the demons in your heart, you must first strengthen the path in your heart, keep yourself, and not be distorted by your own self. ”

"That's right...... By the way, when the Galaxy team was fighting with the guy who borrowed the body of the captain of the Senzhou team, I remember that they forcibly suppressed the inner demon with their strength, could this also be a way to overcome the inner demon?" Zheng Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up and said.

"Forcibly suppress the inner demon with force, has your strength reached this point?" Yang Yun was stunned for a moment and said.

"I don't know, but subconsciously I feel that it is feasible to suppress it with force. Zheng Zhe thought for a while: "In addition, while suppressing with strength, I also feel that my state of mind is constantly stabilizing...... Either seems to be the way to go?"

Yang Yun thought carefully for a moment, and then said, "I don't know very well, but this method may be unexpectedly suitable for you." In short, you can't find a clue now, why don't you go down this road and take a look? No matter how many exercises and skills you can, what you really actually fight is strength...... There is never enough power, and there is no Tao that cannot be proven. ”

"Suppress with force, make up for the loopholes in your heart, these two methods have their own merits, you can choose one method, or you can combine the two methods into one, I'm afraid this is also the reason why Chu Xuan let you experience it yourself...... Zheng Zha, come on, if it were you, I believe it would be possible!"
