Chapter 21: Jiang Lao

At three o'clock in the morning, before the sky was bright, a figure appeared faintly to the east of the Hunting Academy.

This person was Mu Ze, who looked sluggish and walked into the woods in a daze.

Yesterday, Mu Zeweiluo and the others returned to school from Taiyinling, and it was already evening. After this mission, the fatigue of the boat and the high-intensity physical exertion, Mu Ze was exhausted, and he couldn't rest at all for a night. But Master Candle didn't care about this, and dragged him to jump off the building at half past three.

A week has passed, Mu Ze is no longer like the first time he was jumped off the building, and now he closed his eyes and muttered "Damn, it's time again." Then he was dragged to the balcony by the candle master like a dead dog. When he felt the wind whistling in his ears, he opened his eyes slightly, and he woke up, and finally fell to the ground softly in the hands of the candle master.

After coming to the Hunting Academy for a week, I didn't learn anything else, but my psychological quality has improved by more than one level.

Mu Ze's whole body was like falling apart, at this time he just wanted to find a place without a candle master to sleep for three days and three nights, and before he knew it, Mu Ze came to the woods east of the school.

In the confusion, a familiar voice sounded in Mu Ze's ears.

"Young man, we meet again. ”

The strange old man I met a few days ago greeted Mu Ze warmly.

Today, he is still dressed in a suit, but the color has changed from burgundy to dark blue, and inside the suit is a black and white vertical striped shirt, and the pure black bow tie at the neckline makes the old man look personable.

Mu Ze came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot you were here, I'll leave now." ”

Alas, an old man with a lot of fashion and taste, but unfortunately he is not in good spirits...... Makisawa couldn't help but feel sorry.

Mu Ze vaguely remembered that Master Candle called him Jiang Lao.

"It's okay young man, I'm stable, come and talk to me. ”

Mu Ze walked up to Jiang Lao suspiciously, and was ready to leave without looking back at any time.

Jiang Lao looked Mu Ze up and down, and said meaningfully: "It's only been a weekend's work, and it's not a small progress." ”

The old man's eyes were deep, as if he could see everything.

Mu Ze couldn't help but be surprised.

"You ......" Makisawa said after deliberation, "how do you see that?"

"Hahaha, of course I see with my eyes, and not only that, but I can see so much more. ”

Jiang Lao continued: "For example, your personality ......"

"Can you see my personality?"

"yes. Jiang Lao nodded: "It's not that I, the old man, are playing tricks, from a certain point of view, you and I are the same kind of people." ”

The last time I met, Jiang Lao mentioned that Mu Ze had a split personality, but at that time he was crazy, and Mu Ze didn't take it to heart at all. Now that Jiang Lao's mood is stable, mentioning it again at this moment has already caused huge waves in Mu Ze's heart.

"Don't be nervous, young man, I'm not going to tell anyone about you. Jiang Lao's words were a little helpless: "There are too many secrets that my eyes have seen through, you are not the most special, but you are the most similar to me." ”

"No, no, I never kept it a secret, I was just worried...... Am I going to end up like you?"

Makisawa felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "Well, I didn't say that you are so bad......"

"Hahaha...... It's okay, I'm a really nervous old man right now. ”

"Actually, I really think you're quite handsome, and you must have been a deadly beautiful boy when you were young. ”

Jiang Lao's gaze was far away, and his thoughts seemed to travel back to his youth with his eyes against the light: "AI (second tone), the word 'deadly' is not suitable for me at all. ”

Mu Ze reacted, and said in his heart that the relationship is suitable for you!

Jiang Lao retracted his gaze: "It's a bit far, let's talk about the dual personality." ”

Makisawa quickly tilted his ears.

"Where do you start...... Let me start with myself. Jiang Lao slowly spoke: "The source of my split personality probably comes from these eyes, which bring me powerful abilities and at the same time, they also add a lot of trouble to me. Through them, I saw a lot of darkness and hypocrisy, and I also spied into the secrets of many people, consciously or unconsciously. Distorted, shady ...... More and more negative emotions need to be digested, and my spirit is becoming more and more abnormal. People who can easily see through the essence of things often live harder. ”

"Finally one day, two thoughts broke out in my head into a fierce quarrel, and this quarrel intensified. They had their own opinions, and neither of them could convince anyone, and in the end they simply split up, which became the beginning of my dual personality, and as time went on, the two personalities became more and more solid......"

Jiang Lao smiled bitterly: "To this day, both personalities want to compete for the ownership of the body, so you also saw that day, my spirit has become very disordered." ”

(Note: This is one of Jiang Lao's personalities, and some places should be changed.) For example, it should be "us" who have a heated quarrel, not "them". But Jiang Lao's body, coupled with the dual personality, will be very messy to write, in order to write smoothly, and everyone can read smoothly, so I wrote like this. Out of rigor, it is necessary to state it here. )

Makisawa listened carefully from the sidelines.

"I can tell that your other personality is very powerful. If I'm not mistaken, in order to fully integrate into the world of ordinary people, your ontology deliberately makes itself mediocre, after all, ordinary people will not attract attention when they are mixed in the crowd, so the ontological personality will be differentiated...... Now you ......"

"Although the truth is such a truth...... Mu Ze clutched his chest, tears almost falling: "But the word mediocrity...... It's too heart-wrenching, isn't it?"

"How's it going? Doesn't it sound better?"

"Forget it, you continue. ”

"As for the final direction of the dual personality, there are nothing more than three. Jiang Lao stretched out three fingers, and withdrew one for each word: "You devour each other, the other party takes your place completely, and merges with each other." Which do you think is better?"

Mu Ze didn't think about it, he opened his mouth and said, "Of course I devoured him!"

"No, no. Jiang Lao shook his head: "Integrating with each other is the best ending, at that time you will be stronger, your personality will be more complete, and you will no longer split and become a normal person." Of course, 'normal' is ...... in terms of the ability world."

"Fusion ......" Maki Ze was a little dazed: "After the fusion...... Am I still me?"

"Needless to say, you are one. ”

"So what do I have to do?"

"Listen to me slowly. Jiang Lao said: "As the two personalities of the ontology, the relationship between you is very complicated. But one thing you need to be clear: He is not your savior. You have to treat him as a friend and an enemy. He is too powerful, if you continue like this, you will not escape the fate of being devoured!"

Makizawa's heart sank.

"Fortunately, the cage inside you is strong enough, and the first thing you need to do is reduce the number of times he occupies your body - put yourself in danger as little as possible, and increase your own strength instead of relying on him completely. ”

"You said that, and I have to admit......" Makisawa was a little discouraged: "I am indeed very mediocre......"

"Isn't this me!" Jiang Lao's eyes showed kindness: "I can see my shadow from you, if someone had guided me like this at that time, I would not have fallen to this point today, don't worry! I won't let you follow in my ......footsteps."

As he spoke, Jiang Lao took out a paper coupon the size of a banknote from his pocket and put it in Mu Ze's hand: "Here, I'll give you a meeting gift first." ”
