Chapter 12: My name is Dead Sun
“…… You speak as if you are experienced. ”
Russell's brow furrowed.
Originally, he was still a little sleepy because he was full, but he was finally woken up by the bad day and couldn't sleep anymore.
He rolled over and sat down on the couch honestly.
Although these words came out of the mouth of a bad day, the persuasiveness must be a little low......
But Russell did have a vague sense of it, and decided to listen to it.
"There is no love in your imitation, just as there is no real love in the eyebrows and eyes of a person in the mirror.
"It's also very reasonable. Unless it is a narcissistic pervert, how can anyone look at themselves with affection when they look at themselves in the mirror? ”
Bad Day said seriously and very affirmatively.
Although there are many slots in his words, they are indeed worthy of Russell's serious consideration.
"You're done, aren't you?"
Bad Day asked, "What is the real name of your psychic?" ”
"Vessel of God."
Russell didn't hide anything: "I think this psychic ability has two meanings.
"One is a vessel for the gods, and the other is an artifact for the soul."
Now he fully understood that Bad Day was basically his uncle or uncle...... And he still doesn't have children of his own, so he thinks of himself as the type of child to bring. Undoubtedly a trustworthy person.
Although it is somewhat stained with the smell of "bad days are most dangerous when it is safe", he is also one of the few people who Russell can share secrets without hesitation.
“…… Isn't it imitation, but the storage of other people's souls? ”
Bad Day was a little surprised by this answer.
He quickly realized the crux of the question: "Wait, do you know what your psionic energy means?"
"You may be able to become the son of the church."
“…… Church? ”
"The 'true God' they are looking for is to store all the consciousness of all people in one place through the way of uploading their thoughts...... In this way, the 'integration of the collective subconscious' is realized.
Don't you think that your soul is the prototype of this idea? Have you ever wondered what you are in essence if you accommodate a large enough number of personalities? ”
"You mean ......"
When Russell heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Small ...... God? ”
Accommodating the soul, will, and heart of another person, soothing it and fulfilling its desires.
"It doesn't have to be a small god."
Bad Sun said meaningfully, "You might as well guess if you could hold half of the human souls in this world...... So what will the Cyber Church do? ”
"Continue to cultivate me, and when I die, make me a saint? Or do you want to dig out my brain and make a real 'holy scripture' server? ”
Russell guessed.
Bad Day sneered: "You just don't understand the church."
"From what I know about them...... If your psionic energy can hold half of the souls in this world. Then they will not hesitate to kill the other half and merge with you. In this way, humanity has directly fulfilled their mission to 'return to God.'"
"In that case, you will have the most powerful power of the Holy Rank in the world, the power of the Holy Order called 'God'. It is powerful enough to transform the world and recreate it...... This is the future that the church is looking forward to.
But in that case, do you think you can still have your own personality?
"In that case, the number is starting to shrink...... Do you think that the number of people you can accommodate is the limit of what you can sustain your own personality? ”
Such realistic and cold words soaked Russell's heart like ice water.
While he was slightly startled, he became calm down for a moment.
"What do you mean...... Can't my spirit imitate 'love'? ”
He was vaguely aware of Bad Day's thoughts: "Once you have 'love', the volume of this data is too big. ”
It's like a hungry man eating a cookie, and when he eats to his heart's content, he's really full.
But if he eats compressed biscuits and eats to his heart's content, then drinks water...... That's not as simple as being full. The stomach can be burst.
For him, "love" is such an inflated food.
Right now, his blue shift value is not stable enough, and he can't even make Morgan's mask stably if he doesn't use Delphinium's chip to forcibly increase the blue shift by one level.
If he becomes Morgan, he will be impregnated with her love...... The mood swings that soaked into his body at that moment would undoubtedly push his red shift to another level.
"In my opinion, this should be a kind of safety valve. In order to keep you from being too 'into the play', a 'key' made of it. ”
Bad Day replied earnestly: "According to my research on psionic powers, you should be able to 'imitate love'. Or rather, there should be such a dangerous switch in your psionic energy...... When opened, it allows you to do something more dangerous.
"Everyone's spiritual energy has this kind of 'switch' to a greater or lesser extent. I think that if you can use your talents to understand 'love', you have turned on this dangerous switch that belongs to you and completely stepped into a new realm. ”
"Basically, it's already a demon, right?"
Russell's brow furrowed.
Psionic powers cannot be enhanced without warning or for no reason...... Unless that's the power on the "other side".
"What is the essential difference between the demon and you?"
Bad Sun asked rhetorically, "You are him, he is you." Have you forgotten that the reason why the demon went crazy and killed people was because he inherited your legacy?
"In that sense, the devil is avenging you. Isn't that your most trusted companion? ”
"But demons must eat people."
Russell said without hesitation: "Because of this, he cannot be a companion of mankind. ”
Bad Day shook his head.
He asked from another angle, "Then why do you think the devil has to eat people?" Or when did it start that demons had to start eating people? ”
Russell froze.
He remembered what Xiao Liuli looked like at that time.
"It's simple...... When the sixth level of red shift is reached, the host's original personality dies. The devil will have to sustain itself by eating people.
"But you've been to the Reinvention Mechanism, too. Are the demons there eating people? ”
"But they do perish," Russell stressed, "and there are demons who destroy themselves because they haven't eaten for long." ”
"That's not because demons exist that you have to eat people. It's because 'you're gone' that the devil has to eat other people.
"Demonic ...... In other words, the 'psionic energy' itself is symbiotic with you. You can trust him a little more...... Unleash your own demons in times of need. ”
"As long as you communicate well with the demon, he won't get into trouble."
"Why, don't you want to feel 'real love'? I'm sure there's something like that in the masks of Blue Robin and Morgan. ”
Russell stared at Bad Day for a long time.
He suddenly asked, "So......
"-Are you a demon now, Mr. Bad Day?"
When the bad day heard this, he finally smiled with satisfaction.
He looked at Russell with relief and shook his head: "I'm not right now.
"But maybe sometime, it will be."
As he spoke, he tapped Russell's forehead.
He said blandly: "Don't completely believe the nonsense of those people in the company. Demons are also a part of yourself, and if you don't control it well, it's because of the fault of the person who can't control it well. There is nothing wrong with power in itself.
"Believing in the devil in your heart is also believing in yourself. What you have to do is to perceive the demon, control the demon, and control the demon, not deny its existence and suppress its power. ”
Speaking of this, Bad Day's voice suddenly became cold and rational, his eyes became cold, and his voice became low: "Why do you suddenly crave love? In my opinion, it has nothing to do with what Delphinium has done, it's that the demon in you is 'hungry'.
"It's like a parasite that eats your nutrients and makes you hungry.
"When you're done, the demon in you has awakened. All the instincts that you have suppressed and forgotten are awakened together......
"The devil is the same as you, and the fact that it is so hungry for the power of 'love' shows that you are the same, but you are deceiving yourself - you are afraid to look directly at the longing for 'love' in your heart because of your past experiences.
"But psionic energy is the power of honesty. No one can deceive their hearts, and that's why ...... And even more so that man cannot deceive the demon in his heart. ”
Russell looked up suddenly.
He asked again, "Are you a demon now, Mr. Bad Day?" ”
"First meeting."
"Bad Day" said coldly: "My name is Dead Day...... Mr. Container. ”
