Chapter 128: Split Personality (3)
"It's you, haha, I remember, it turned out to be you. In this instant, Viren recovered all of his previous memories. However, although it is still unknown where he is, at least one thing can be confirmed that he is not in any danger now.
What are you kidding, how can a person who has been imprisoned by himself be a threat to himself? And the biggest threat is the four mirror demons just now, but now when his memory has returned to normal, it is impossible for those mirror demons who are only aimed at the existence of insanity to appear. But until now, Viren still felt that he was quite lucky. The four mirror demons, if it weren't for the people in the pillar of light reminding themselves, they would have already been eaten. He wasn't surprised why the people in the pillar of light wanted to help him. Because he should know better than he does what the mirror demon is.
Mirror Demon, almost no one knows of such an existence. However, there are still some people who have escaped from the hands of the Mirror Demon and ascended to heaven, recording some of the characteristics of these Mirror Demons.
Mirror demons do not appear in the real world, but in the subconscious of people. So, for this reason, some people don't believe in the existence of mirror demons. Moreover, not everyone will be able to meet the Mirror Demon. Because the mirror demons are targeted, for ordinary people, they will not cause harm, they will only appear in the subconscious of those who are so insane that they have another personality. As for their purpose, even the survivors who escaped from the Mirror Demon didn't know it thoroughly. However, at least one thing is certain, anyone who does not resist the attack of the Mirror Demon will be like a walking dead for the rest of their lives. Otherwise, it will become a completely different existence than before. But no matter what the final outcome is, once the mirror demon invades, the original person will no longer exist. All that remains in this world is a single existence with a name and body that is exactly the same as before.
In addition, let's talk about the attack method of the mirror demon. Viren had already experienced such an attack now, so he naturally understood the way the Mirror Demon attacked. That is, the Mirror Demon does not appear in the real world. And it is only when a person has fallen asleep and his consciousness does not stay in reality that the mirror demon has a chance to attack. According to some of those who survived, when they fell asleep, they came to an enclosed space. As for what this enclosed space looks like, everyone has different opinions. Some say it's in a dark house, some say it's on the edge of a cliff at the top of a mountain, while others say it's on an island in the sea. This time, however, Viren was in a dark cave. It can be seen that the mirror demon does not attack the victim in one space, and according to the victim's account, the scene where the mirror demon attacks them is the scene that these victims usually dream about the most.
Over time, in the minds of these victims, these mirror demons became a kind of demon that only appeared in people's sleep. If you stay awake, then you are safe. At least it won't be threatened by the Mirror Demon. But once you enter the dream, you will be in danger at any time.
Unknowingly, the legend of the Mirror Demon has been going on for thousands of years. And in the past thousand years, it is not only humans who have been attacked by the Mirror Demon, no matter what race you are, you may be targeted by the Mirror Demon. According to some wild historical records, the Mirror Demon's attack targets cover all races, whether you are a human, orc, elf, dwarf, or even if you are an extremely rare race, you may be targeted by the Mirror Demon. But because in the eyes of most other people, the existence of the mirror demon is more like an unheard of thing, and it is impossible to be accepted and recognized by the world. Therefore, since the legend of the Mirror Demon appeared, the world not only did not give these people the necessary help, but even did not sympathize. If someone says that he is being targeted by the Mirror Demon, then immediately many people will come to see the excitement, and some people will even knock him unconscious to see how the legendary Mirror Demon attacked him. Yes, that's the reality. For things they don't want to admit, they will always find ways to fight them. Sadly, it's not like this, in other races, the fate of those who are targeted by the mirror demon will be very tragic.
However, the most tragic thing is the elves. The elves are a race that worships nature, and such filthy things are not allowed in their world. Moreover, the elves regard their dreams as another world, so once an elf says that they are being targeted by the mirror demon, then the elves will drive the elf locked by the mirror demon out of their tribe and leave it to fend for itself. However, because of such an event as the Mirror Demon, there have only been one or two events among the elves with a history of tens of thousands of years. And it hasn't been seen again for thousands of years. So for the mirror demon, the other elves don't all know less. Even Hill and Lady Sigh only knew a little bit about it by word of mouth among the elves of the older generation.
As for why the Mirror Demon wanted to attack them, they all knew this very well. That's because these people were divided in their hearts before they were attacked by the Mirror Demon. That is, there are two different personalities. Of course, it is not excluded that there are more personalities in the same person's body. However, this is the main reason why the Mirror Demon is not recognized by this world. The first reason, of course, we already know, is that the Mirror Demon only exists in the illusory world, so in the eyes of others, the Mirror Demon has no physical body, it does not exist at all. And the second reason is that the world believes that only you can control your body. And like those who are attacked by the mirror demon, there is not only a personality in the body, but also a soul. What a deviant thing this is for the world? Therefore, it is natural not to understand it.
In this way, the Mirror Demon, an existence that does not know whether it is a creature or something else, wanders on the edge of the whole world, the whole history. In a world where it knew it existed, but vehemently denied it, it appeared every once in a while, took the life of a mentally challenged thing, and then left. In addition, people know so little about the Mirror Demon that it is a secret whether the Mirror Demon is just a lone ranger or the owner's own race.
"I remember, it was you. Viren circled back and forth around the man imprisoned in the pillar of light, and said maliciously, "Now I really remember. So why we're here is a good explanation. It's just that I'm curious, why did you just save me?"
The person inside the pillar of light sighed softly: "No, you are wrong, I didn't want to save you. I was trying to save myself. ”
"! you're!" Viren yelled at the people in the pillar of light, "You're obviously saving me!, otherwise you wouldn't have to alert me when the Mirror Demon appeared." If the Mirror Demon eats me, then you can completely take back your body instead of being imprisoned in a pillar of light by me!"
"Looks like you still don't understand the true purpose of the Mirror Demon. The person inside the pillar of light sighed softly, "You think of the mirror demon too simply. Do you think the Mirror Demon is because of me? ”
"Oh, how can you see that? Are you a magician who is so good at things like the Mirror Demon, which only exist in legends?"
"Mr. Wicked Personality, please don't mock a magician in such a tone. The man inside the pillar of light laughed, and if it weren't for the fact that his hands and feet were tied, he would probably all laugh out loud: "Since you have chosen to occupy my body, then you must at least be in awe of my body." Otherwise, you won't be able to control my body 100 percent. ”
"Cut, isn't it just a body?" Viren looked at the person trapped in the pillar of light with disdain, and cursed, "What do you think your body is important? In my eyes, your body is just a disposable item that I want to throw away if I don't want it. Viren, Viren, do you think you're something important?"
The person inside the pillar of light smiled and said, "Whether my shell is heavy or not to you is one thing, and I don't want my shell to be damaged is another aspect." Since you don't understand the habits of the Mirror Demon, then let me tell you. The Mirror Demon will only appear in the heart of an existence similar to mine. What is a being like me? It is a soul like me who has appeared in me because of unknown things that have completely different from myself. And once such a soul that does not belong to your body appears, then you may be targeted by the mirror demon. Because, the Mirror Demon feeds on such souls. You could say that the Mirror Demon exists to protect the body's original personality, but I don't think so. Because once the Mirror Demon eats the soul that does not belong to the body, it will also be eaten by the soul trapped by the evil soul like you, just like I am now. After the mirror demon has eaten a full meal, then although this body is still alive and can still breathe, he has no soul anymore, and he has completely become a walking corpse. So, that's the only reason why I don't want you to be eaten by something like the Mirror Demon. ”
"Truly, awrely. Viren sneered. His sneer was different from the sneer of other people. If the sneers of other humans could still hear human voices, then Viren's current sneer was entirely at the hands of a monster, an evil and terrible monster. "Very well, you have confirmed one of the answers, that is, people are selfish at all times. Even you, without the slightest exception. When I was born in your body, I thought you were some kind of saint. Just imagine, what kind of people can choose to give up their chances of survival for the survival of most people in such a desperate moment. However, when I was still in the stage of confusion, I just saw that you did just that. At that time, I once felt that you were the kind of monster who was not afraid of death, a monster who was even more monster than me. However, now I find that there is still a distance between you and what I imagined. No, it's a big distance. At least, in my heart, you should be the one who will not change your face even if death comes to you. and not to save one's enemies for the sake of one's own life. You know, even I wouldn't save my enemies by saving my own lives. ”
"Really?" the man inside the pillar of light replied softly, falling silent. And now that Viren is no longer in danger, he is also looking at this person who looks exactly like himself with interest. He was trapped in the white pillar of light. Due to a magical force, the man was suspended in mid-air, his hands and feet locked in chains. The chains that lock the hands extend diagonally upwards, and the chains that lock the feet extend diagonally downwards. But these four chains all look like they are boundless, and you can't see the end at a glance. And this man, at this moment, is smiling and not saying a word.
Viren seemed to be very angry at the man's expression. Without saying a word, he punched this person in the face fiercely, and shouted angrily: "You say, you are talking?"
The person inside the pillar of light spat out a mouthful of donated blood, but instead of crying out in pain, he asked disdainfully: "Fraudster, what do you want me to say?"
"Fraudster, fraudster?" Viren laughed angrily, "You actually say that I am a fraudster? I am Viren, the only Viren in this world! You are not qualified to give me any other name! But you, can I give you another name, just a coward who can't get in or out? A coward who doesn't care about anything for his own life?"
"Thank you, thank you for lifting me up. The man inside the pillar of light laughed, "But I think when you choose my name, you should first think about why you are here." You know, this is the home you made for me to imprison me, but if you've been in it for a long time, you'll probably be living with me too. And when the time comes, it won't be me who controls this body, but it will definitely not be you. ”
This reminder of the person inside the pillar of light surprised Viren. Indeed, he really didn't know why he was here. How did he get here? Instead of paying attention to the people inside the pillar of light, Viren found a corner and crouched down to ponder.
