“…… I'm not Mr. Container. ”

Russell was silent for a while, then turned his head slightly and replied in a low voice, "I'm just Russell." ”

He remembered his previous experience of going to the Reengineering Agency with the inferior.

The people in the eyes of those demons are like glass bottles one after another. And their demons reside in it.

It's like a bottle with a certain medicine in it - when people call it, they will definitely not call it "a glass bottle containing such and such a medicine", but simply call the name of the medicine inside.

For demons, man is such a "container" itself.

Therefore, the phrase Rotten Sun is still a pun......

It can be understood both as a nickname for the "vessel of the gods" and as "the vessel containing the demons", that is, Russell himself.

"It's just a demonstration."

Bad Sun shrugged his shoulders, and the cold temperament on his body faded again at some point: "It can also be said to be another way to use power."

"According to the company's thinking, if the strength exceeds the sixth-level redshift spiritual energy, you must erase this part of your memories and emotions, and then store them into chips. Wait until you need them, and then use the chip to 'recall' them.

"It's doable, and it's convenient. Anyone can use this technique to avoid losing control...... But this is not a 'traditional' craft. ”

Bad Day smiled, "The technology of extracting memories and emotions in a highly condensed way and creating a technology that can be released by inserting a prosthesis was only invented in 1187.

"But the 'Pale Event' caused by Mammon was as early as 1141. In the intervening forty years, will all psionics become demons? They don't have the ability to ban their dangerous memories. ”

“…… So, communicating with demons is the right way? ”

Russell raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this how you got your code name?"

"As far as I know, the code name you wanted to give yourself in the first place was 'Evil Day'."

That's the secret that Grandma Lan told Russell.

At the beginning of the bad day, he took the meaning of "all things in the world, those born with the breath of the sun, all have poisonous stings", and compared himself to the "evil day" and "poisonous day" that bestowed the poisonous stings of all things in the world.

But Russell's father had another suggestion...... That's a bad day.

The name of this code name is "The Decayed Sun".

And the demon of the bad day, it seems that its name is "the sun in decay".

"You mean, you're going further than your demons? Do you think you'll be one step closer to the finish line than you, who is purer than you? ”

Russell looked at Bad Day and asked word by word.

Think of yourself as more pure than demons.

This is...... What arrogance.

"That's right. That's why I'm recognized by the Dead Sun. ”

Bad Day made no secret of this: "Russell, you are too 'normal'. A psyker doesn't need to be normal.

"Whether it's morality or law, anxiety about the future or regret about the past, you can subconsciously control your power. It's like if you hammer the door with your fist, you subconsciously don't use all your strength. It's a kind of subconscious protection of one's own body...... This power is known as the 'blue shift'.

"Because it's not the fist or the door that is harmful to your body, and it's not the power of your fist itself. It's because your fragile body can't withstand the reaction force, so your 'Blue Shift' has to control your subconscious desire to use all your strength.

"But what if you're in danger? A dilemma that you have to unleash your powers to solve...... For example, a gangster who must use all his strength to defeat. In this case, you don't care about protecting your body...... The bindings of the blue shift will be weakened. This is the loss of control caused by the redshift overtaking the blueshift.

"So, what happens when you throw such a punch with all your might?"

"My body will hurt...... Is this a loss of control? Russell was thoughtful.

"To be precise, it's not out of control...... It's that your personality is damaged. ”

Bad Day pinpoints Russell's imperfections.

It's like a mentor.

He earnestly told Russell, who had entered the transition period, about secrets that he could not have known: "It's like your fist is hurt." You're bleeding and you're broken...... But the external predicament you encounter does not go away because of this.

"Maybe the door didn't even shatter because of it - you'd have to use all your strength to beat the door again. That way, you'll hurt even more.

"When you hurt your fist and can't lift it or hold it, it means that your personality is broken.

"So, I ask you—will this power of yours itself want your fists to hurt and break?"

"Of course not."

Russell understood what Bad Day said: "Because that would be detrimental to itself...... I see. So after the psionics get out of control, the demons will have to eat people to maintain their existence? ”

"Yes...... Exactly. For those who are out of control, their souls and personalities are not destroyed by the demons themselves. It's because their souls can't withstand the power of demons, so they are broken.

"When the personality is damaged, the demonic power is also leaked out. It's like a cracked container that doesn't need to pour water out, and it flows out on its own. That is the cannibalism and loss of control of the devil. Because when you use psionic energy, that particular feeling will come to the fore and become extremely strong as if it reverberates...... The more powerful the psionic energy, the clearer this reverberation becomes.

"In fact, any demon has the [potential] to reach level 10 Red Shift from the very beginning. In other words, all psionic energy can theoretically be developed to the limit.

"But it's a process. How powerful the spiritual energy that humans are able to brew in the end depends on the intensity of their desires and the intensity of their emotional fluctuations...... This is known as the 'redshift' intensity. Most people's desires are not so strong, which is why they have three moats called 'Behemoth', 'Zodiac Wall', and 'Leviathan Wall'.

"Every time you cross one, you are one step further away from being a pure 'human'."

At this point, Bad Day's voice became cold.

Russell immediately knew that it was a sudden change at this time, replaced by "Dead Sun":

"We demons have no souls, so we can't burst out of psionic power on our own. When the host is normal, we convert it into psionic power by absorbing a certain emotion specific to the host as pure fuel...... Just as plants need carbon dioxide to release oxygen for photosynthesis.

But if the host doesn't exist, or can't provide the emotion, we have to feed ourselves by devouring other people's souls. But other people's souls don't necessarily have the 'specific lineage' emotions that we need, or they have but they are not pure enough. That's a bad fuel for us. Therefore, it may take a thousand people to eat the best fuel provided by the host.

"It's only because we no longer have to worry about whether the host's personality can withstand this power, so we can fully unleash all the power we have.

"So, how could a demon take the initiative to harm the host? Of course, it is not excluded that they do not like the host's psionic ability...... But if we had a good time together, we could have been the most trustworthy friends. ”

And at this time, the dead sun cut back to the bad day again.

"In fact, you can understand that these 'demons' in the heart are a kind of symbiote. A special creature capable of releasing specific psionic energy by consuming a human's specific emotions. ”

Bad Sun raised his hand and gestured, "You see, I have a considerable degree of tacit understanding with Dead Sun. He only surfaced when I needed it, so it didn't interfere with my 'emotion' or hurt my relationships because of my overly extreme personality. At the same time, I don't have to worry about the damage to my personality due to the use of excessive force.

"We are the most trustworthy friend – he is what I identify with...... The other me. ”
