4. Thanksgiving and curses
"Ah, unfortunate."
The boy lying on the bed looked at the sunset outside the window with a dead fish-like gaze to distract from the headache that seemed to explode.
Because he was charmed by himself just now, he was unlucky and his SAN value was reduced by one, so in the turbulent sea of consciousness, the memory transmission that the traverser liked the most began here.
In the sea of consciousness that only Merlin himself could see, his soul, a huge and brilliant ball like the sun wrapped in countless golden rays, ran directly towards the small black ball that had been pushed to the edge of the sea of consciousness, and could only hide in the corner and tremble.
There was no earth-shattering movement, just like a game of big balls eating small balls that Merlin had played in his previous life, his soul simply and directly devoured the original owner of this unlucky body.
"I didn't know that my soul was so powerful, it was still a golden legend, hehe, I'm afraid it's not that dead KP who is messing with ghosts."
Quietly watching everything that happened in the sea of consciousness, Merlin silently complained in his heart.
Salted fish is still very self-aware like him, how can he be so powerful as an ordinary person's soul, and he can't control everything that sounded in the sea of consciousness just now, he can only watch everything from the first perspective as if he was watching a game CG.
In fact, his own true soul was nothing more than a little white light the size of a grain of rice, which was the core of this golden sun and was wrapped and protected in the innermost layer by countless golden rays.
On the other hand, the soul of the predecessor is really worthy of being the original owner of the character card with such a supermodel, the pitch-black ball is actually the size of a basketball, and Merlin, who is only a little bigger than a grain of rice in the light of the soul, doesn't know where it is high.
It's a pity that no matter how powerful the predecessor is, it is still invincible to the guy who opened the plug-in, and the dark soul was crushed into slag by the golden light in just an instant, and then the useless self-consciousness was incinerated out, and the useful soul power was connected into the core, nourishing Merlin's soul, and the many and messy memories of the predecessor were refined into a book.
Because the memory and knowledge were too large, in the vast sea of consciousness, a library was established with the great sun as the center, and the books of memory that had been refined were automatically classified and neatly arranged in the high shelves.
"It's really worthy of being the boss of the 90's education, and the amount of knowledge of one person fills most of the library."
Merlin, who could only eat melons in front of the crowd, comfortably soaked in the spiritual power hot spring that was teleported over, while looking at the huge library outside the golden light with amazed eyes.
In his previous life, Merlin had been to the public library in the city, of course, he was not looking up any information or learning anything, but simply heard that there were many novels in the public library that could be read in vain, so in the spirit of not stealing the things of the reader, he went to read the novel, and by the way, the young lady in the library was really good-looking.
However, even if he just read novels, when he stepped into the public library and looked at the countless bookshelves in the huge and towering building, which seemed to reach the sky, a solemnity of wandering in the sea of knowledge could not help but infect him, making him awe-inspired, and he did not dare to make a loud noise easily.
He unconsciously slowed his steps, lightly took the book he selected, obediently walked to a no-man's seat and started reading, as for the small snacks such as fat house happy movies that he brought with him at the beginning and wanted to eat while reading novels, he didn't dare to take them out at all.
The library is such a building with its own sacred buff, and Merlin at that time was curious about whether there was any cow in this world who could read the entire library, but then he was amused by his own thoughts.
It's impossible to think about it, there are so many books, ordinary people can't read them in a lifetime.
But now, looking at the majestic library in the sea of consciousness, which was even larger than the one he had seen in his previous life, Merlin fell to his knees.
It seems that the attributes of the scumbag limit his imagination, and the real bigwigs are all humanoid mobile libraries.
The devouring was soon complete, and when all the useful memories had been extracted, the dark soul was left with only a useless mass of consciousness that had come together to finally piece together a human form, a face Merlin was familiar with, and he had almost been seduced by it when he looked in the mirror a few minutes earlier.
The light of the golden sun was about to burn the little boy in one go, but at this time, Merlin's mind moved.
"Wait, I'd like to talk to him."
His soul emitted such a fluctuation.
The golden flame, which was already about to shine, suddenly stopped, and then was taken back by the great sun, and it was clear that the golden light that protected Merlin's soul agreed to his request.
"Do you have any other wishes?"
Perhaps out of useless pity, or perhaps out of hypocrisy that only wanted peace of mind in the future, Merlin's soul, under the protection of the golden sun, asked the illusory boy who was about to disappear.
The handsome boy who could ignore gender and tempt everything indiscriminately raised his head in some surprise and looked at the great day that had destroyed him before, and then shook his head silently.
"No, I just want to thank you for freeing me from this painful curse."
The young man's soul smiled with a smile that almost made Merlin judge again, and there was not the slightest hatred in his gentle voice, but a heartfelt thanksgiving.
"But if I have to say anything, it's a pity that I haven't been able to see more of the outside world, unknown sir, if you really don't want to make up for me, use my eyes to take a good look at the scenery outside the castle for me."
The boy's soul finally made a standard farewell salute to the golden sun above his head, and then dissipated with a sense of relief and dissipation.
"Uh...."
Merlin, who was originally prepared to be resented, was a little surprised, he didn't expect that there would be such a free and easy person in this world, who could calmly forgive the enemy who took his body, and even thanked him, what's going on with this brain circuit of the original owner, I'm afraid this ideological realm is not a saint.
But then again, what a curse, is this body still cursed?
Thinking of the original owner's inexplicable thanks, Merlin had a sense of foreboding.
Soon, that foreboding came true.
From the original owner's soul was broken down into a clean position, a black dot turned into a streamer and shot into the great sun in the sky, but the golden light that originally protected Merlin chose to turn a blind eye this time, not only did not stop it, but opened the passage.
"I'll go..."
Merlin only had time to let out a fairy tale slur, and then his consciousness fell into a coma again.
It was like a drop of ink into a glass of clean water, and this drop of ink also had its own multiplication, and soon, the pure white soul was dyed black, the kind of black that could glow.
And the original golden protective layer seems to be to match the core, and the brilliant golden light is adjusted to black.
The golden sun turned into a black sun, floating in the center of the sea of consciousness.
Outside, the sun had completely set at this time, and the moon couldn't wait to ascend, and the bright moonlight shone into the castle through the window.
The beautiful boy who was originally lying on the bed underwent a terrifying change under the moonlight, his black hair turned white as if it had faded, the sharp horns on his forehead pierced the skin and grew, his thin body swelled as if he had blown air, and his strong muscles quickly broke through the pajamas, revealing the green fur inside.
The joints of the lower limbs are even more twisted, having been flipped from a human structure to an anti-joint similar to a leg of mutton, and the soles of the feet are also twisted into hooves like sheep's hooves.
The last long tail with a heart shape at the end extends from the tail vertebrae and quickly becomes thick and powerful.
A cyan flame burst out of thin air above the monster's head, and the flames turned into a crown and were set between the two horns.
And so, the eyes of the newborn demon king in the darkness opened.
