Chapter Ninety-Three: Transactions
A long time ago.
"In my playground, nothing is impossible~"
The man with the rabbit mask smiled unfathomably, and just a simple gaze made Tang Juyi's consciousness completely fall into darkness.
After losing consciousness, Tang Juyi's body lost the core of domination, and of course fell forward like a puppet with a broken string.
However, this process of falling down is like pressing the pause button for a movie projection, which suddenly slows down, and even freezes completely in the end.
Looking at Tang Juyi, who was blank, the man behind the mask smiled weirdly:
"Are you going to keep pretending?"
As soon as these words came out, Tang Juyi's pupils that seemed to be out of focus suddenly focused, and a completely different temperament from before appeared in him, and Tang Juyi's face also showed a helpless look:
"It's all seen through......"
The rabbit man said:
"It's not a very clever disguise...... If you are observed from a deeper perspective, your actions can be said to be meaningless. ”
"Tang Juyi" still maintains a forward posture:
"A deeper perspective...... This means that your ideology and life form may be beyond my current understanding...... But it doesn't matter, since you've established my existence and used unknown means to get rid of that guy, then you must have something to do with me, right? ”
Speaking of this, "Tang Juyi" lowered his head again and looked at his state, thoughtfully:
"Has the time to fall been extended indefinitely? Forcibly stretching the curvature of a short time node is indeed an existence that has overridden common sense. ”
The rabbit man clapped his hands lightly and said with a smile:
"You're smarter than he is, and it doesn't seem like our communication will be too difficult."
When "Tang Juyi" heard this, he showed a curious look:
"How did you determine my existence? Or how do you know that you can see me after you have withdrawn your consciousness from the surface? ”
The rabbit man explained very gently:
"Of course I can clearly observe you. From my point of view, the two of you are like lava wrapped in a piece of paper, and the smell of the lava itself is strong enough, not to mention that the paper is now so damaged that it is almost reduced to ashes. ”
"Tang Juyi" licked the corners of his mouth:
"Paper and lava? Doesn't it feel very appropriate, how about changing it to a cage and a bomb? ”
The rabbit man shook his head and said:
"No, no, no...... You have a much bigger charm than a bomb. You and it have something in common except that they are destructive, but their artistry is far from the same level. ”
may be the first time to be praised for being "artistic", and "Tang Juyi" is also a little surprised:
"It's a unique statement."
The rabbit man took a few steps closer so that he could observe Tang Juyi more carefully at this time:
"yes, a wonderful masterpiece...... That's why I brought you, no, I should say I took you to the playground. ”
After a pause, the eyes behind the rabbit mask exuded a deep color:
"Can you explain where you came from, though?"
"Tang Juyi" did not mean to refuse, but gladly accepted this request, saying:
"Actually, it's easy to understand - a derivative consciousness that emerges in an extreme state, similar to the self-protection mechanism of living beings. In other words, I am the last line of defense under the superficial subject of consciousness. ”
As if worried that what he said was still too complicated, "Tang Juyi" added:
"It is precisely because of 'protection' that I have more abilities than shallow consciousness in all aspects, such as thinking logic, emotional control, danger intuition, and even emotionally, I have more advantages than him."
The rabbit man continued:
Because all your considerations are based on "absolute self-interest", you will not be shackled by other factors...... Interesting. ”
"But...... Do you really know what you are? ”
In the end, the rabbit man asked such a question meaningfully.
"Tang Juyi" replied without hesitation:
"Not sure. Normally, a mere depressive suicide experience is not enough to lead to a derivative consciousness, and from the level of knowledge I had about the memories of the past, his childhood experience was characterless and did not meet the requirements for my birth. ”
The bunny man nodded appreciatively:
"yes, it's not satisfying at all, because you existed before he committed suicide for the first time."
At this moment, "Tang Juyi" was stunned.
The rabbit man was very satisfied with the surprise shown by "Tang Juyi" at this time:
"Actually, you're getting a crucial question wrong...... That is who is the Lord and who is secondary. You preconceived that you judge yourself as a derivative based on when you appear, when in fact you are the real master. And the superficial consciousness in your mouth, which you have always considered to be the subject, is nothing more than a shackle that is used to restrain you. ”
For a while, "Tang Juyi" fell into deep thought.
After a while, "Tang Juyi" spoke again:
"You mean, my suicide at the age of thirteen was not the cause of my birth, but a symbol of my breaking through the shackles?"
The rabbit man applauded, his tone full of encouragement:
"You finally get it! Before you even awaken, you are already unconsciously permeating the surface consciousness, conveying a signal of self-destruction, in order to create violent mood swings, and that suicide is the beginning of your regaining the initiative. ”
"Have you ever wondered why a derivative consciousness can unscrupulously interfere with the mind of the main consciousness, and why a derived consciousness can easily achieve self-sleep?"
"Tang Juyi" gradually kept up with the rabbit man's train of thought:
"Because in essence, I am the main consciousness?"
…………
"The deal you made with him wasn't a good thing...... The best thing is mutual aid, but the worst is the slave trade in disguise. ”
"Tang Juyi", who was sitting at the table, glanced at the brand on the back of his left hand, and said teasingly.
The rabbit man shook the glass in his hand indifferently:
"It's just a pretended contract, and his life will become my property anyway."
"Tang Juyi" smiled in a low voice:
"Isn't my life your possession?"
The rabbit man didn't hide it at all:
"yes, but you've gained a lot of money just as well, haven't you?"
"Tang Juyi" drank all the drinks in his hand and showed an evil smile:
"It seems like an unfair deal...... But who cares? ”
As he spoke, "Tang Juyi" flipped over the parchment on the table, which had been marked with blood-stained fingerprints, but the back of the original blank was lit with wisps of flames, and at the same time, a pungent smell of sulfur came out.
In the original blank space, dense handwriting appeared.
"As you said, you're going to interfere with his next few dimensional missions, darken his body and soul, and create another opportunity for him to fall into anger and despair, so he asks me for help?"
"Tang Juyi" repeated what was written on the parchment.
The rabbit man nodded and said:
"That will be your chance to break free from the shackles once and for all. Not only will you be able to attain the perfection of your consciousness, but you will also be able to use the Eye of Truth. And in return, the deal he promised is also a debt you will repay. ”
However, "Tang Juyi" did not rush to sign the transaction contract, but squinted and asked:
"But ten years are approaching, I can completely rely on myself to share this body with him, why do I have to trade with you?"
The rabbit man is not surprised by the questioning of "Tang Juyi":
"Trade with me, and you will not get half the power, but the complete domination of the future. His consciousness will open up to you, and the missing part of you can be retrieved from him. Share and control, which one do you prefer? ”
This time, "Tang Juyi" no longer had any concerns, but laughed wildly:
"I owe a life...... It's nothing compared to freedom! ”
