Chapter 416: That Kind of Thing

"Uh...... I guessed it. Zhang Qiang raised his head and looked around, and stretched out his hand to point to the metal boxes one by one: "So, you removed all the brains of the Mi family who are sorry for you, and then put them in these boxes?" ”

"More than that." As if looking at her own treasures, Mina stared at the metal boxes with satisfaction: "Of course, there are also my former good neighbors and classmates. Oh yes. And my adoptive parents' colleagues and bosses who bullied them. Anyway, as long as Yonezewen was a participant in the plan to deal with the three of us, all of them would have been turned into 'kind' by me. Hahahaha, interesting, right? After entering the virtual world, none of them can resist me, no matter who it is! ”

At this point, Mina suddenly stopped laughing, she turned her head sharply to stare at my face, and her voice was cold: "Do you think that I have gone too far?" Do you think I'm as terrible as a demon? ”

I was stunned, then shook my head.

"No, I'm not a of the Virgin. After listening to your story, I don't have much sympathy for these people. On the contrary, I think what you are doing is reasonable. The people ......" I looked up at the impressive number of metal boxes: "They just deserve it!" ”

"It is indeed deserved." Zhao Qiqi glanced at Mina and nodded.

"That's right, I also agree with Gao Wei's statement. They are so excessive, why can't they return a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye? Zhang Qiang's jaw raised when he heard this, expressing strong approval, but halfway through speaking, he seemed to think of something: "Hey, by the way, you haven't told us for so long, what do you have to do with the 'True Demon'!" ”

As if hearing a satisfactory answer, Mina's mood suddenly became very pleasant, and even her tone became much brighter.

She looked at Zhang Qiang, with a sincere smile on her face: "Don't worry, next, I will tell you everything." Including, why I chose to help you. ”

When the three of us heard this, we immediately came to our senses.

"You say, we'll all listen." I looked at Mina with a serious expression.

Mina's gaze moved to the red metal box directly above the ceiling again, and her eyes lit up: "It took me about a year or so to finally succeed in taking revenge on all my enemies. After that, I suddenly became very empty. It seems that the idea of revenge has always supported my spirit, but once the revenge is really successful, I don't know what I should do. Moreover, I was lost, and I was lost until now. Mina's eyes seemed to become extremely deep at that moment, and she looked at the three of us, and her voice was full of indescribable vicissitudes: "I don't know what my current self is. Is it human? If I wasn't human, how could I think, talk, and have feelings. However, if I am really human, then why do I not even have a real body, I can't really touch anything, I can't even do what ordinary people can do at any time. The permission given to me by that mysterious folder made me almost a god-like being in the virtual world. However, only I know that I am not! I just want to be an ordinary person and live an ordinary life. You can read, you can play, and you can be accompanied by your parents and friends. But I can't do any of that. With that power, I can freely shuttle through the online world, I can control the fate of many people, I can analyze everyone's personality and psychology, understand their past, and I can easily affect the emotions of most people through the Internet. But so what? In my life, I will never be able to feel the warmth of the sun in person, heh. ”

Mina's voice grew choked, and she suddenly fell silent, as if adjusting her emotions.

I opened my mouth to comfort her, but I didn't know what to say.

At this time, Zhao Qiqi suddenly patted me on the shoulder.

I turned my head to look at her, but saw Zhao Qiqi shaking his head at me and motioning for me not to speak.

Just then, Mina spoke again.

"During that time, I was thinking about one question every day – who am I, am I still human? However, even with the vast amount of knowledge and hundreds of millions of pieces of information, I still can't find the answer. Later, I gave up and walked around the online world. Even if I wanted to kill myself, I couldn't do it, because as long as my brain was alive, I could be reborn an infinite number of times. Until one day, I suddenly felt that in the online world, a powerful force appeared out of thin air, which was different from that created by ordinary hackers, it was not a virus, but something that I could not describe as terrifying. Mina's face turned a little horrified when she said this, and she shook her head: "When I encountered that thing, my first reaction was fear, and it was an emotion I hadn't felt for a long time. So, I subconsciously wanted to run away, but it seemed to be everywhere, and wherever I fled, it would appear near me. In the end, I was assimilated by it. ”

"Is that kind of thing a 'real demon'?" I looked at Mina.

Mina looked at me, but hesitated.

"What you call 'true demons' should be a big part of it, but I feel like it's more than just 'true demons'. It...... It's scary, it's not something that you, even me, can face. Saying that, Mina actually shuddered, and she looked at the three of us with sincere eyes: "Because that thing made a semi-inducing invitation to me, and later, I was semi-coerced and became part of the 'true demon' system in your mouth." Specifically, every once in a while, the illusion world I created would feature some player-like characters, and I could sense that they were all real-world humans. Under the instructions of the 'True Demon', I can use my own strengths to create their own fantasy world through the gaps in each person's heart, and after breaking through their inner defenses, trap their consciousness in the world I have created, and all their own will energy or more appropriately use their souls will be used by me, and when I consume their will, they themselves will disappear completely, and only a shell will be left in the real world. ”

"But why do you want so many people's will? Do they have any special effect on you? I asked, confused.
