Chapter Twenty-Nine: Mammon
Russell sat on the bed, stunned for a moment.
But he suddenly felt a violent nausea -
He subconsciously tilted his head to the side of the bed, and spit it out, and finally felt a lot better.
But Russell quickly realized...... What came out of his mouth was not last night's food.
Rather, it was a blood-red, translucent, struggling fluid.
It fell to the ground, and the moment it touched the substance, it boiled, and snorted white smoke.
Before Russell could react, they were consumed in the blink of an eye.
Russell's room was immediately filled with grayish-white, sulfur-smelling smoke.
"Tsk, it's a pity."
Morgan sat on Russell's bedside table and sighed, "You brought back all the water from the River of Anger...... It's time to find a bottle or something to keep.
"I don't know what it's for, I don't know how to store it properly, and I don't know who to sell it to. But it's always a shame to see it wasted. ”
The vessel of the gods uttered something quite close to Russell's train of thought.
But before Russell could respond, she thought again and gave a further reply:
“…… But it doesn't seem right. If it's really the water of the River of Fury, it should dissolve into your body as soon as it touches your body. And you shouldn't be so calm, you should be furious.
"Moreover, since you chose to vomit in the first place, it means that your body has judged it to be a harmful foreign body.
"It's possible that this is the river water that you have diluted, and it should be the last impurity left in the body......"
"You're starting to talk a lot now."
Russell glanced at her, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "But it's very abnormal, container."
"It's like after making a mistake, you unconsciously talk a lot. It looks like it's hiding something, showing a natural look, but in fact it's more clearly exposed. ”
"Oh, you don't understand," the Vessel of God said with a calm expression, "How do you know that this isn't the mille-feuille I played with you because I anticipated your thoughts?" You think I've made a mistake and that's why I've talked a lot, but maybe I did it on purpose? ”
"Yes, the mouth is still hard. I have my demeanor. ”
Russell nodded and exclaimed.
He changed his words: "But just now on Teacher Zhong's side, why didn't you even dare to say a word?" ”
"Because that monster is terrible!"
The vessel of the gods made no secret of the fear in his heart: "It would be terrible to be seen by him!" ”
“…… Terrible? ”
Russell paused for a moment and suddenly asked, "What does he look like to you?" ”
"I can see your memories. The end of what I see is completely different from what you see......
"In my opinion, it was a huge black demon god whose body burned with a crimson flame that would never be extinguished. The hammer was soaked with blood that had not yet coagulated, and many souls were imprisoned in the middle of the hammer......"
“…… Why do you see something completely different from me? ”
Russell frowned: "What about strangulation?" ”
"Strangulation is no different. That's why I'm shocked when I see the end of my hometown. ”
There were some palpitations in the words of the vessel of the gods: "I have a feeling...... It seems like he can bypass you and hurt me if he wants to. ”
"That is, he has some kind of demonic trait?"
Russell confirmed the meaning of the vessel of the gods.
As demons, the vessel of the gods can see through the bodies of each psyker and see the demons that reside in them.
This is their racial ability as a "psychic symbiote".
Could it be that a mage is also a kind of demon? Or will you become a demon at the end of your path as a mage?
Or is the essence of a high-level mage and a demon somehow close?
The vessel of the gods thought for a moment and added, "To be exact, he is like a living demon...... A demon that does not depend on the host.
"Of course, I actually feel that I can also exist on my own in the dream world. After all, the dream world is not a material world, but a world of thoughts, and I can exist directly as a body of thoughts. If you want to hang up, I can also level up in the dream world for you, and it doesn't matter if you sleep normally. ”
"In that case, will other demons see me? Or do I see you directly? ”
"Probably not. As it seems to me, the end of the country has always been the demon god who burns with fire. It's through your memory correction that I know what it really looks like. Because I have a symbiotic relationship with you. Does Venom understand? It's that kind of symbiote, but I don't drop scum, and it doesn't really exist in your body, and the essence is just a 3D projection to accompany the chat. ”
Morgan put his hand to his chin and thought, "But in general, other demons don't seem to enter the dream realm. He doesn't seem to see me either...... I'm not a kitten, after all. ”
In other words, Mr. Ultimate is not a demon, but has some kind of demonic nature...... Right? ”
Russell concluded, "I remember Mr. Trung saying that he was 'unable to leave the dream world anymore,' that he was just a crippled piece of waste,' or something.
"Could it be that he has no flesh anymore? Or is the body deformed, or dead...... But his will was too strong to give up his body to exist on his own. That's why it says that it can only survive in the dream world, and can't return to reality.
"If humans lose their physical bodies, they are indeed no different from demons."
The Vessel of the Gods nodded: "It's also a thought body, but it can't coexist with humans. ”
"Is there such a possibility......
Russell hesitated: "You demons...... In fact, could it be a mage who has already died once and lost his memory? ”
When the vessel of the gods heard this, they were also stunned for a moment.
The atmosphere between the two was silent for a moment, and the Vessel of God suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "Surprise me, I actually started to think about the possibility of this matter just now......
"But one thing suddenly came to mind...... If the demon was a mage before, how should I explain it?
"None of us are natives of this world, you should remember. Obviously, there is no mage in this world who has similar abilities to yours, and our abilities are unique. That at least shows that it is possible for an algorithm to be transformed into a demon, but this is not necessarily the mainstream. ”
"But that's at least one thing for sure......"
Russell pondered, "I wasn't sure before. But since the 'Wedge of the Heart' can accommodate psionic energy in the same way as the Psychic Protection Chip, it can accommodate spells that are too high-level...... It shows that this technical elf has long understood. Now it seems that whether it is a spell or a psionic power, or the power of the Holy Rank, their power should be essentially the same. It's just that the way it is presented is different from the way it is obtained. ”
"That is to say," the vessel of the gods clasped his hands to his chest, "psionic energy is certainly not something that has only existed in the last hundred years. ”
"That's right."
Russell nodded: "The elves are not 'creating' psionic energy, but 'replicating' psionic energy. Judging from their decision to build Sky Island, they should have known about the existence of psionic and demonic abilities from the very beginning. ”
"That means that the 'Primordial Demon Mammon' is not the Earliest Demon at all. The 'pale white incident' that devoured one-third of the staff of Shenzhi Heavy Industries and ate the memories and feelings of a total of 5,000 people on Tongshen Island was deliberately manipulated throughout the whole process! ”
The vessel of the gods immediately picked up Russell's words.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled slightly.
The vessel of the gods, whose memories and positions are exactly the same, but whose personalities and ways of thinking are different, is the detective's best assistant.
Then, their purpose is nothing more than several. Enforce the introduction of chips, reduce the number of employees of Shenzhi Heavy Industries, artificially create an emotionally apathetic Tongshen Island, and cultivate the demon Mammon ......"
Russell pondered, "I used to feel that the first option was the most likely. But now it seems that they have long known the principle of the 'wedge of the heart'...... Then maybe the fourth is the truth.
"They wanted to cultivate the tenth level demon 'Mammon', and sacrificed one-third of the inhabitants of Tongshen Island for this purpose......"
"The final question is," the vessel of God continued, "where is Mammon?" ”
"Maybe it's always been with us."
Russell muttered in a low voice, "The wedge of pain is broken down from the hammer of pain."
"And the psychic protection chip, so far no one has been able to make a copycat version......
"Could it be, part of Mammon?"
