Chapter 57: The Call of Fantasy
"Will you change yourself because other people's perceptions of you change?" Cateria gave Pannis a blank look, "When we are born, we are also independent souls, how can we change with other people's cognition." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info think of the gods born from faith, we are essentially the same as them. β
"Are you independent of the faith after birth?" said Pennis thoughtfully, "In that case, even if all your books that carry your legends are destroyed, or even if no one remembers you anymore, you will be like those gods, unless you are attacked against the Origin, you will only fall into weakness, and not completely die." β
"We don't even feel weak. "Those gods will be weakened by the severance of faith, because they can gain greater power from faith, and when faith is broken, their own strength can not support the consumption of the huge kingdom of gods, and they will naturally fall into weakness." And we are different, the audience's affirmation does not bring us strength, since we don't get anything, then after the absolute severance, we will naturally not lose anything, and of course, it will not die out completely. β
"Well, what the hell is Lina, she's been looking for you like crazy all these years. Pannis smiled bitterly and said: "I thought those books were out of print, and the loss of the carrier and affirmation would lead to your decline, but it turned out that it wouldn't, so you told her, why make her so nervous every time?"
"We can't be blamed for that. Cataria smiled apologetically and explained, "The child is so nervous not because we are going to die, but because she can only communicate with us through books. β
"Well, what do you mean?" said Pannis, feeling his head wide, puzzled, "don't you live in the library of her mind, and why do you communicate through books?"
"How did you know we lived in the library? Oh, the kid must have told you. Kateria sighed and said, "That's actually the range that the kid set for himself, and we can't change it." Although the people we are with are actually in the depths of her heart and can communicate with her at any time, she thinks that she can only see us and hear our whispers when she is holding a book. She firmly believed in it, so much so that the friends she hadn't found yet could not see or hear even if they stood in front of her in the world of the mind. β
"Can't you even tell her?" Panismo rubbed his chin and asked the question in his heart, but immediately denied his own thoughts: "I'm afraid not, this is the deepest cognition of the heart, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to change." β
"Well, it's very hard. Kateria nodded and admitted, "We've tried before, but nothing worked, and it was just an accident that we were able to communicate with her." β
"Accident?" asked Pannis, "this is the first time I've heard of it, and Lina has never talked about your past in detail." β
"Well, because she doesn't know much about our kind of existence. Kateria smiled, "After all, our existence is rarely known, and it's normal for her to not understand." β
"It's true that very few people know, at least I've never heard of your existence. Pannis nodded, "Where did you live before you moved to Lina's psychic world, or rather, those of your kind who were not recognized and accepted by Lina could not migrate to her psyche, and where were they?"
"I can't give you an answer to that. Kateria shook her head, "Because it's a world you can't understand, or rather, the existing lingua franca can't describe that place, well, you can imagine that it's a world formed by the fantasies of all living beings from ancient times to the present day." All of our kind lived in that world until the child resonated with us, and curiosity led us around her, and finally moved into her psychic world. Maybe many years later, when she leaves this world, or when her heart is no longer clear and can no longer communicate with us, we will return to the original world and repeat the previous life, of course, there are other possibilities in the future, but then we need to make a decision then. β
"Wait, clear mind?". Pannis was stunned for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "This word seems to make me understand something." β
"Hehe, it looks like you've got it in mind. Cateria covered her mouth and chuckled: "In fact, our existence is not really so unknown, often only people with pure hearts and simple thoughts can perceive our existence and communicate with us." However, their relatives and friends do not perceive us, so they often regard these people's descriptions of us as a kind of imagination, and at the same time regard these people as a state of madness, always trying to change them and let them return to normalγ After this happens more times, we are less willing to communicate with those who are talented, after all, being able to communicate with us means that she really likes us, how can we bear to let them endure pain because they like it?"
"Well, indeed, Lina is special. Pannis nodded, "Not everyone is as comfortable as Catherine is to tolerate her seemingly crazy and eccentric behavior. But at that time, you wouldn't have known that she would meet Catherine. β
"Of course not, but it was special. "The loneliness and loneliness had made her really abnormal by that time, after all, she had no one to accompany her in the empty library except her spirits, so she fantasized about books every day, fantasized about living with us, fantasized about us being by her side all the time, and even imitated our words and deeds, imitated every word we said." β
"So, you're really here?" asked Pannis, "called by her fantasies?"
"yes, her expectations were too strong. Kateria sighed and said, "It's so strong that we all wonder what kind of person she is." (To be continued.) )
