Chapter 5: The Countdown to Life

Outside the mental space

Qin Nian gobbled up the food that his sister had prepared.

While Qin Xi was serving Qin Nian vegetables, he said with some disgust: "Brother, you eat slowly, don't choke." And no one is robbing you of ......" while handing over the tissue, taking care of it very carefully.

After a while, Qin Nian wiped out all the food like a storm, and his expression was satisfied. Praised: "Xi'er, your craftsmanship is still so good, this taste is not much worse than the chef in the big hotel outside." ”

"It's not that exaggerated." Qin Xi threw Qin Nian a roll of his eyes, but his face was full of smiles.

Humming a little song and began to clean up the tables and saucers in front of him, obviously he was still extremely interested in Qin Nian's praise.

Qin Nian looked at his busy sister in front of him with a smile. After a while, he got up and walked to his bedroom, and at the same time said to his sister who was busy in the kitchen: "Xi'er, I have a planning meeting at work in the afternoon, so let's go and rest for a while." When you're done with your work later, go straight to school, don't call me, I'll pick you up after school in the evening. ”

"yes, got it." Qin Xi responded from afar in the kitchen.

After explaining, Qin Nian walked into his bedroom and locked the door casually. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, and his expression became flat.

Looking at the empty room, Qin Nian said lightly, "Hekaxiu, now we can have a good talk." ”

There was no response in the room for a long time, but Qin Nian was not in a hurry, just stood there and waited quietly.

After a while, Hekasiu's quipping voice came from the room: "This is the gap." Speak softly to your sister, and talk to me with a stinky face. ”

Hearing this, Qin Nian was full of black lines, and lowered his voice and said, "Don't be joking, let's talk about business." ”

"I don't think you're too serious and want to adjust the atmosphere." Hekasius chuckled back.

Then he said in a correct tone, "Okay, that's the end of the joke." In order for us to work together smoothly in the future, I will tell you some things that you have always wanted to know. ”

Qin Nian's spirit shook slightly, and he listened attentively, and the many questions that had been pressed in his heart for a long time might be answered.

In the room, Hekashu was silent for a long time, as if organizing the language.

After a long time, he said slowly: "My real name is Hekasius Unos, you can call me Hekasius on weekdays." My previous identity doesn't matter anymore, and now I'm just a down-and-out victim. It's just that you have fallen from another world, which you call another world. ”

Qin Nian's hand shook unconsciously, he didn't expect Hekaxiu's first words to be so impactful.

Victims? Another world? He originally thought that Hekasiu was just an alien from a planet with a far higher level of technology than the earth, and he was forced to stay on the earth because of an accident or something.

Compared to this possibility, the statement that something came from another world seemed more fantastical, and Qin Nian didn't dare to think about it in this direction at all.

Slightly suppressing the shock in his heart, Qin Nian calmed down and continued to listen carefully.

"In your world, I was hit hard for some reason, almost seriously injured and almost dying. The body was completely destroyed, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul struggling to survive in the cracks of time and space. There is no hope, no goal, just an obsession and struggles to support. But I don't know when I will be completely consumed by the power of time and space, and my body will die. Hekasiu's voice was full of emotion, as if he thought of the unbearable experience again.

"Until one day, I met you......"

Hekasius paused slightly. Then he continued: "My state at that time, to put it mildly, was that there was still a trace of remnant soul. But to put it mildly, I'm already a dead man. At that time, if you want to come back to life and change your life against the sky, the only way is to find someone whose soul is 100% compatible with me before the soul is completely gone, and use the soul to nourish the soul, and live as one and two lives. This is how it is possible to recover. It was the only way at the time, but it was also a difficult solution. It's so hard that I've almost given up on that hope. Hekasiu's voice was flat, but it unconsciously revealed a faint coldness.

Qin Nian could fully imagine how desperate Hekaxiu's mood was at that time, so much so that when he talked about it now, there would be strange emotions in his tone.

"The method of soul cultivation requires that the soul must be completely compatible, and there can be no slightest difference. But the soul is wonderfully complex, and everyone is different. Even if it is a twin fetus with the same father and mother, there is no one in ten thousand who can reach a soul fit of more than 70, and the higher you go, the rarer it becomes, not to mention finding a stranger who is 100% compatible with me. ”

Qin Nian was a little dizzy in his mind, and when he heard this, he had almost guessed what Hekasius was going to say.

Speechless for a moment, Qin Nian asked in a tone that seemed to be emotionless: "So...... Am I the stranger you found who is 100% compatible with your soul? ”

Hekasiu: "......"

Seeing that Hekaxiu didn't answer, Qin Nian already understood what he meant. The mood became colder and colder, and he asked in a somewhat astringent voice: "Then, after I am chosen by you, what will happen, will I be devoured soul?" ”

"It's not devouring, it's fusion." Hekasius explained, but the explanation paled in comparison.

"Your consciousness is still there after the fusion, but the memories of the two of us merge into one."

Regarding Hekaxiu's explanation, Qin Nian just listened quietly, and did not react violently.

But the corners of his mouth unconsciously pulled out a strange and mocking smile, and said, "Although I don't know anything about soul fusion, there is one thing I still know. Memories are mixed with a lot of other people's things, and I was still me at that time?"

Hekaxiu didn't reply, Qin Nian's words hit the nail on the head, and he didn't know how to reply.

In addition, there is another point that Hekasius did not say, that is, the existence of consciousness after this fusion will only appear when the consciousness strength of the two sides is almost equal or not much different.

But Hekaxiu's memory is an accumulation of I don't know how many thousands of years, Qin Nian's memory of more than 20 years, once fused, not even a splash will be splashed, and it will be swallowed up in an instant. In the end, only Hekasiu's consciousness remained.

Qin Nian was also silent for a long time, and the two were relatively speechless.

After a long time, Qin Niancai exhaled lightly and said lightly: "For this bullshit fusion, although I hate you, I can understand it." Survival is a person's instinct, and in that situation, you finally found me, and I'm afraid you won't think much about it. After all, people are selfish, not to mention that it is a matter of life and death, it can only be said that this is the destiny of heaven. There was some self-deprecation in his tone, and he didn't know if he was laughing at himself or others.

Hekasius was silent for a moment and said, "I'm sorry......"

Qin Nian took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and said, "I don't blame you, but I only want to know one question." How long will it be before we have soul fusion, or how long can I survive? ”

Hekasiu ......

"Eight years. In the case that I do not merge with you, with the help of your soul power nourishment, I can hold on for eight years. In these eight years, I will not take the initiative to merge with you, which can be regarded as a little compensation for you. ”

Hearing this, Qin Nian raised his head and looked at the ceiling quietly, but there was no half-minute focus in his eyes, and he didn't know what he was thinking. muttered, "Eight years? That's enough. Thanks......"
