157 evolves gradually
When I felt that I could feel the shape of that power, this qiΔ suddenly returned to calm, and I felt a sense of loss.
The sudden departure untied the chains that bound my body, and my soul became one with my body again. I opened my eyes hard, and a feeling of suffocation suddenly filled my chest, and I kept gasping for breath, eager to suck up the oxygen of this world.
"Ah Chuan, are you okay?" Tomie's voice seemed to come from afar.
"No, it's fine." I said, but the body's reaction is not like that at all. The discomfort hit me even more violently, and I retched, coughed, and even convulsed, and it took me a while to recover.
Tomie grabbed one of my arms, pulled me up from the floor, and helped me into the bathroom. I turned on the faucet and filled my hands with cold tap water, which I had heard was groundwater from a deep well, not a lake. I buried my head in the water, and the damp coldness quickly cooled my hot face. I finally felt better, so I applied it several times.
The sound of the rushing water gradually calmed my feelings. For a moment, I just put my hands on the washbasin, thinking about nothing.
I looked up at myself in the mirror in front of me, water dripping down my hair and features. Ah, this face, is it me? I've always thought I was good-looking, but nowhere near as handsome as I am now. The silhouette is still me, and I definitely don't mistake it for someone else. But something changed, it was like a second development, it was reassembled in the details, and the silhouette became deeper, almost making me think I was a half-breed.
No, or maybe I'm mixed race right now.
Especially the pair of eyes, the pupil of the left eye is crimson, and the pupil of the right eye is emerald, like an opal, with a seductive power that seems to be inorganic and seems to be full of vitality independent of this body. When you gaze at them, you will have the illusion that only they are left in your eyes, and everything else is just a transparent and quiet background.
So **, I can't help but be in a trance. I slapped myself the cheek, struggling to break free from the whirlpool of addiction. I know whose eyes it is, the one on the left is the river, and the one on the right is the silk.
"What beautiful eyes, Achuan." Tomie teased on the side.
"A-Jiang......" I said, "I see Jiang." β
"I know, I know." Tomie said.
I found her in the mirror, she was leaning against the bathroom door with her hands crossed, and she didn't seem surprised at all by the changes in my body. Hey, her body is also eroded by Jiang's blood, does it also retain Jiang's will, if the answer is yes, how is the will that separates the two bodies unified? I have never been able to understand her existence.
I dried my face with a towel and called out to Quark in my heart.
A gray mist emerged from the shadows of the bathroom, condensed into a raven behind me, and then turned into a gray mist, burrowing into my magic pattern.
Although the pattern didn't seem to change, I occasionally felt the power flow in as the quark moved in and out. When my body changed, I clearly felt that this magic pattern was not a dead thing, it also had a will of its own. It doesn't belong to me, it's just lodged on my body and is quietly affecting my soul. It also groans and roars, and it makes my blood boil and makes me chase something, even if it's not what I want.
Each of the Marker Messengers is under the subtle influence of the Will of the Pattern, and if they can't restrain themselves, they will become restless and stubborn. I now understand that my attachment may not be entirely my own will, and that what seems to be my choice is not the only choice. Even the most indecisive people will make them develop their own beliefs, and they will continue to strengthen them, cutting off any path of compromise and retreat.
People come together because of similar beliefs, different persistences collide together and burst out of the spark of death, and in the end, only the party that destroys miè can prove their own right.
There is no world of compromise, and this is simply terrible. I shuddered at the thought of it. This is the power of God or Devil, and it is part of our psyche. There are many conflicts between human beings, but in the end, there are people who can overcome themselves, who are sympathetic to people with different ideas, and who can compromise and coexist even if they have opposite wills, so that peace can finally be ushered in. But if one day people stick to their own opinions, no longer be considerate and compromised, then the war in this world will never stop.
What a purgatory it is, fighting for the faith, death will no longer be fear, and people will usher in the end in the joy and struggle of the self.
At this time, it became clearer and clearer to me that the end was inevitable. When the first prophet appeared, when the first Demonic Messenger was born, the end seemed to be foreordained. The people chasing the end have the magic pattern, and to fight them, you must have the magic pattern, but after having the magic pattern, what is the difference between us and them? Even if the purpose is different, the Demonic Emringer is essentially the same, and even if it seems to have taken a different fork in the road, it will still return to the same in the end.
It is a path that can only be self-destructive.
"It's stupid." Suddenly there was a deep sadness in my heart.
Because even if I know the result, even if I know that I am on the wrong path, I can't give up, and in front of my eyes, there is never a choice. Not just me, but all of them had no choice. So, even if you know that you will become a screw of the Doomsday Machine, you must tighten it.
"Don't cry, Achuan. No matter what, I will be there for you. β
Tomie looked at me with a smile on the other side and held out his hand to me. Does she know this qiΔ? However, there was no confusion or wavering on her face. She was so dazzling that I had the illusion that if I was with her, I would be burned to ashes. Even so, I didn't hesitate to grab that hand.
After the body changes, even if I close my eyes, I can see the qiΔ around me, and any matter in the sphere area centered on myself will appear in my mind, as long as it is not completely sealed, no obstacle can stop this perception, and even can ignore the obstruction of clothes and outline the naked. It's an enhanced use of the ability to determine chains, and I'll name it "Circle." But I decided to wear a pair of glasses to cover out these unusually beautiful eyes, because this perception is no substitute for the vision of the eyes.
There is an optical shop in the town, and although it also caters to people with visual impairments, its main business is to provide visitors with personalized eyewear that is characteristic of the town.
We didn't have a car and chose to walk there. The yellowing trees are occasionally blown off by the autumn wind and then run over by vehicles, and the streets are not crowded with pedestrians, but they do not look bleak. Most of the houses in the town are equipped with a small garden, and from time to time residents can be seen sprinkling water and pruning in the garden. It's even more lively when you're close to the business district, but this bustle belongs to the residents of the town, and it's not the peak tourist season, and when there aren't many customers, the shopkeeper will come out and join the chatting circle.
Most of the time, the pace of the town is so laid-back and slow.
When we entered the optical store, there was only one young man who looked like a student, chatting and laughing with the owner while checking out. They seemed to know each other well, and the young man must have been from the town, he wore glasses and looked a little weak. Although there is an elementary and middle school in the town, high school needs to go to the city, and young people seem to be at least the age of high school students.
The young student and the store manager exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when they heard the bell of the customer pushing the door in, they turned around and looked surprised, but then smiled kindly.
"Good afternoon."
"Hello." Tomie nodded at him and said politely.
"What do you two want? I only sell glasses here. The owner said humorously.
He was a big, obese middle-aged man, with shirt sleeves rolled up on his arms, revealing thick body hair, and a pair of glasses on his wide face, looking amiable and wealthy.
"What else can I buy at the optician?" Tomie said, "I want a pair of flat mirrors." β
"A pair? How is that enough?" the boss warmly beckoned us to the side of the shelf, "Come, come here, they are all the hottest products in our store, couple glasses for men and women." β
He picked up a blue-lake-colored glasses and showed it to us. On the foot of the mirror frame is the name of the town with dark gold. The lenses are slightly different, but the upper part is borderless, the women's is oval lenses, and the men's lenses are flat square lenses, which also appear intellectual and soft, with a very strong sense of matching.
Tomie played with it and looked like he liked it.
"Achuan, what do you think?" She put her glasses on and turned to me to ask. Her dress has always been full of the dynamics and sexiness of an athletic girl, and although her facial features are full of feminine charm, her eyes and scars still have a fierce and fierce atmosphere. Theoretically, this sensible and quiet style is more suitable for a clerical woman in the office, but she doesn't feel out of place when she wears it, but softens her first impression.
"Not bad." I replied, since she likes it, let's buy it, we are not short of money anyway. However, I bought glasses to cover up the abnormality of my pupils. Although it doesn't matter if you don't cover it, many young people abroad will deliberately wear contact lenses of different colors to attract attention and show their unique personality, but I don't want to be seen as the kind of rebellious child.
I asked if there were any lenses that could cover the color of the eyes, and the owner immediately explained that there were all kinds of lenses, and they could be modified immediately according to the needs of customers, and that the store still had them in stock, because many customers had such needs.
"How much?" I asked, looking at myself in the mirror. Although I am still a student, the bookish smell of the honor student has not completely faded, but after several battles and killings on the verge of life and death, my temperament has begun to be a little aggressive, but after wearing this pair of flat square half-rimmed glasses, the sharp breath has been worn off the edges and corners. Now, I feel more like a philosopher.
"It's two hundred dollars each, but it's only three hundred and eighty-eight yuan for the matching purchase, and the reward jumps the price." The boss laughed, "You're from Asia, right?" This style is designed by experts for excellent Asian customers like you, and it is restrained and unassuming. β
Tomie and I looked at each other and smiled.
"Okay." I didn't plan to bargain, so I took out my wallet and paid, "Three hundred and eighty-eight yuan, you can get it in ten minutes, right?" β
"That's right, thank you for your patronage." The boss added a finger to his tongue, counted the bills, and warmly sat us down in the hospitality seat, "Please wait, I'm going to transfer the goods." β
The boss walked into the backstage, and Tomie and I took a slow look at the layout of this optical store. The young students had already quit their jobs when the boss started our business, but when I walked over to the place where they had been greeting, I found a photo on the counter. The appearance looks new, but the dress and background of the characters in the photo give people a sense of time flies.
It was a middle-aged woman, with a slightly higher jaw bone and deep facial features, and she was not particularly beautiful overall, but her long skirt and expression exuded a stern and elegant temperament. She sat upright in a black high chair, her posture showing a rigid etiquette, and there was not much expression on her face, which reminded me of Jung, and it was as if they had not smiled since birth.
The woman's place was in the corner of the room, and behind her was a window through which tree branches and walls could be seen. There doesn't seem anything strange about it, but for some reason, I always feel like I've seen it somewhere.
"What is this?" Tomie leaned over and asked.
I held the photo up to the light source to make a close look, then flipped over and looked at the back of the photo, where there was a line of letters:
Who can see their true self? That's an abomination. βErin @ Mar Jones, 1983.
Tomie pronounced the line.
"I always felt like I'd seen ...... somewhere," I said uncertainly.
"This woman? Or is it this text? β
"No...... Neither, ah, I remember. I've seen this place. I cried out.
"Have you seen that?" Tomie looked at me suspiciously, of course she knew that I had never been abroad before, and this time, she had always been by my side wherever I went. But she hadn't seen anything in the picture.
"Yes, where?" I was a little confused, as if I was separated by a hazy layer of gauze, but I couldn't remember.
At this time, the boss came out of the backstage with a glasses case, and when he saw that we were looking at the photo, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing?"
"Boss, do you know the person in this picture?" I asked.
"Oh...... I don't know. He replied hesitantly, but I didn't think he was sincere, "The young man came to someone with this picture, maybe it's his relative." Okay, leave that alone, take a look at your glasses. He reached out to get the photo back, but Tomie snatched it first.
The boss immediately glared at her with vicious eyes.
"It doesn't look like it's yours."
"It was the young man who left it for me. This is my stuff. The boss said annoyedly, pointing to the glasses case: "Your stuff is here." β
"Shall I pay for it?" Tomie said without changing his face.
"No, I don't sell it." The boss said categorically.
Tomie suddenly reached out and grabbed the boss's collar and lifted his nearly 100-kilogram body across the counter. The boss suddenly looked frightened, his face was hairy, his feet were shaking, and he kept patting Tomie's arm, but that arm didn't move like a pillar of steel and iron.
"I know, you know something, sue me, or I'll make a twist on your neck." Tomie stared at him gloomily.
"Got it, got it, let me down. I, I sue you. The boss shouted with difficulty.
Tomie suddenly let go, and the boss fell down, almost sitting on the ground, holding on to the table in danger. He gasped, his gaze wandering back and forth between Tomie's and my faces.
"Who are you?"
"Do you really want to know? Trust me, that's not a good thing. Tomie smiled and snuggled up to the counter. The boss immediately saw a poisonous snake and jumped backwards, and he was really frightened by Tomie's momentum.
"Okay, okay." He swallowed, "It's not something to be seen, but if it is not necessary, everyone will never mention it, after all, it has been so many years......"
"Got it, I won't say I learned it from you." Tomie knocked on the counter and made a cumping sound, as if to increase his credibility, "Many years, it won't be ten years ago." β
"How did you guess?" The boss's face was a little stiff, but he didn't dare to look at Tomie, and turned his frightened and puzzled gaze at me.
I was pretending to be nothing, opening the case of my glasses. The case is specially made to fit two pairs of glasses, and I take out my own pair and put it on, looking at myself in the mirror and adjusting the frame from time to time. However, the corner of his eye was on the boss and Tomie.
"Okay, boss, we don't want to get into trouble. Sue me, who is that young man? Why did he leave this photo here? I said.
"He, he's the son of an old friend, he hasn't seen him in years." The boss still couldn't let go of the nervousness in his heart, and said a little stammering: "Have you heard of the fire that happened here ten years ago?" His father died young, his mother died in the fire, and the child was adopted by the orphanage and went to the city, and I only saw him today, and I almost didn't recognize him. β
That's right, I remembered that the view in this photograph had appeared in that strange dream, which was a corner of the church-like hall. In this way, that dream was really a mental hospital before it was destroyed by fire? But who are the boy and the girl?
"Is this his mother in this picture?" Tomie asked, handing him the photo.
"Yes, his mother, a stern but kind woman, Erin......" The boss snatched the photo, stared at the person in the photo and muttered to himself, and after a moment raised his head and said to us: "That child, Marseille, he didn't believe that his mother had died in the fire, he said he had seen her, but how was this possible?" Poor child, that fire burned everything to ashes. β
