Chapter 4: Fictional Masks
Who have you been in contact with lately?
…… I'm ashamed to say that's a lot.
It is different from the delphinium that nests in the office every day and sees less than three people a day on average. Russell had to come into contact with a whole bunch of people almost every day.
The relationship between those bosses requires Russell to get acquainted with each other and maintain it.
The inferior person offended someone because of that broken mouth, and Russell also needed to find a way to eliminate the bad influence.
In addition, Russell occasionally went to cyber churches and chatted with Paradise Bird - unlike his appearance, although Russell was always likable, he was not the type to wait for people to come and play with him at home, but the kind that took the initiative to run downstairs to other people's houses and call people down to play.
In the evening, it's even busier.
Russell's nightlife is unusually steady and abundant – if the strangulation has time, go for a lap or two in the dream world. If the strangulation side wants to take the little brother to move away from the angels, then Russell will go to the boss to drink tea and chat when he is free.
If you really go to investigate one by one, it is estimated that it will take half a month to find out.
When the demon really hatches, it is estimated that it will not be found.
But from another point of view......
Russell remembers the unusual feeling this morning.
The mask of the "Blue Song Robin" suddenly could not be taken off.
Two and a half months have passed since Russell awakened his psionic energy from the airship in mid-May. He had never had such an anomaly.
Although it was only for a moment, Russell did not have the kind of luck such as "Oh, it's okay", and still brought it up to Delphinch.
"Out of control?"
The delphinium frowned, thoughtful.
"Is this a loss of psionic power?"
Russell suddenly.
Although he heard the word, it was the first time he experienced it firsthand.
Delphinium nodded, "Yes, psionic energy is related to emotion and determination. A sudden loss of control is actually a normal situation...... Because human emotions are not fixed lines, but shaking waves. When the red shift is close to the blue shift, there is a sudden and strong emotional fluctuation, which may cause a short period of loss of control. But this loss of control itself is not harmful, it does not have any bad effects on your body. ”
"Then it'......"
"Psionic loss usually lasts only for a moment, and then disappears as soon as you calm down."
Then this is indeed a loss of spiritual power.
Russell nodded in acknowledgment.
It was the moment he recovered that the mask could be taken off.
The delphinium looked at Russell with a somewhat inexplicable gaze: "It can even be said like this...... If your loss of control doesn't have a bad effect on other people, that's actually a pretty good thing. You can at least know what kind of demon you will become if you will fall into a demon. ”
“…… Will it turn into a holster devil who can't take off his mask? ”
Russell's expression was a little subtle: "It sounds quite harmonious, and it feels like a ghost movie inexplicably." ”
It sounds like he's going to be okay to hunt down security guards who work part-time jobs at a pizzeria and get paid minimum wage in the middle of the night.
"I always felt like it shouldn't be that simple......"
The delphinium shook her head slowly.
She was actually a little worried.
Since Russell will awaken the psychic ability to "be able to play others perfectly", what is the desire in his heart?
Is it the desire to be someone else? Or do you envy the lives and talents of others? Or is it something that doesn't matter to itself?
Whatever it is.
Once this desire gets out of control, it will hatch not so much demons as "evil gods...... An evil god with many faces, different talents, and everywhere.
He may also be able to directly take away the identity of others, cognitively erase a person, or split into countless parts...... One is many, and many, all is one.
But in any case, this characteristic is already very close to the so-called "god".
But there is an evil nature here, and it is unabashedly proclaimed that this is an evil god.
The delphinium shook her head, dispelling the uneasiness in her heart.
She said flatly: "I guess...... The person who caused your psionic energy to get out of control is most likely the demon you came into contact with. ”
"But she's dead."
“…… What? ”
"What caused me to lose control of my psychic abilities was the suicide note from Miss Morgan."
Russell knew that Delphinium didn't know the man, so he added, "It's Blue Song's ex-girlfriend." ”
“…… Blue Song Robin? ”
Two months have passed since the incident, and the delphinium was stunned for a moment before suddenly saying, "You mean...... The girlfriend before Xiao Liuli? ”
"Yes, she seems to have been hired by the directors to assassinate someone. And then he was killed. ”
Russell said slowly, with a sadness in his eyes that had not yet completely dissipated: "Although I didn't get the memory of the blue robin, I still felt sadness. When this grief reaches its limits...... And then there was a loss of psionic control. ”
"In this way, I am afraid that what your transformation ability inherits is not only the appearance and ability of the other party."
Delphinium analyzed: "But if you want to say that there is a soul attached to the chip and sealed by you...... I think that's too fantastical and doesn't sound scientific.
"And there's a problem here."
She sat in her seat, looked up at Russell and looked at Russell deeply: "Are you sure this is really the sadness that Xiao Liuli felt?"
"Or ...... This is the emotion that your 'imaginary little glass' will produce? ”
When Russell heard this, he was stunned.
He suddenly realized one thing-
If it was "Little Ruri" who had become a demon, she would probably feel it when she heard the news...... Is it gratifying?
And maybe the tranquility and relief.
Because the two are finally together again.
After the hustle and bustle, complexity and pain of the world, quietly returned to the group.
But Russell felt a very intense pain, full of sadness and anger.
- Why is it painful?
Because death is parting. Parting is what brings pain.
But "Little Liuli" has already died?
In other words, Russell's transformation into the "Blue Song Robin" is not a continuation of the deceased Xiaoliuli in his self-consciousness, but a "living" character.
Therefore, all his emotions and all his positions are viewed in terms of the possibility that "he is still alive and Morgan is dead".
If Russell inherited the memory or consciousness of "Little Liuli" in the last stage, it would be impossible for him to feel this emotion!
So, where does this sentiment come from?
Russell finally realized something...... It was a detail that he had overlooked, intentionally or unintentionally.
In the first stage of his psionic triggers, he will always see hallucinations from the past.
The reason why he was so sad when he learned of Morgan's death was because in the hallucination of Xiao Liuli, the love between him and Morgan to support each other, was engraved into Russell's heart...... "at that time" Blue Song Robin would indeed be so sad and angry after hearing such news.
Because that memory eliminated all the unpleasantness when the two got along, so ordinary daily life. Only the most essence and the most profound "purest love" was left.
“…… I get it. ”
Russell muttered.
He already had some guesses about the nature of his psionic powers:
It wasn't that there was something like a soul that had infiltrated Russell's body through psionic energy; It's not Russell's decision to inherit the other party's path, or to be possessed by the other party's remnant spirit.
Rather, after Russell finished reading the other person's life, he developed the desire to "play this role...... So he became "them".
The memories he saw were the scripts of the characters and the lives of the other party.
Because it lacks some of the trivialities in life, it ...... This role will become very "distinct".
