Chapter 232: Wait for me to rewind time

The secret of the "origin" has been revealed at this moment.

According to Bering's understanding, time is like the most basic underlying logic, and any life needs to go through this logic over and over again.

But if something can change its form and not join the cycle, then it won't be constrained by time.

And above time, there are several upper layers of logic that are second only to it. These logics are "death", "life", "soul", and so on.

If you plan to deviate from time, then you must use various means to disturb the exploration and cognition of yourself by these upper logics, whether it is to run away from these logics, or it is possible to lie flat and let these things censor you, and then finally return to the original point and do not go to the most basic cycle of time.

In short, the goal is to make these underlying logics not recognize you, or ignore you.

In fact, both the Pale Lady and the Oath Breaker embody this.

Ms. Pale relied on separating her life from death, half of which was herself, and half of which was Han Qianqiu. The oathbreaker, on the other hand, uses the souls of other people to blend into her core, so that the underlying logic of identification cannot recognize her.

The Red Spider, on the other hand, inherited the practice of the Oathbreaker.

That's why she needs four cores.

Only by mixing other people's consciousness into your own consciousness, and then sending away the remaining cores and deceiving those underlying logics, can you let your true self escape scrutiny and no longer join the cycle of time!

Kaguya's method was actually just one of them, and if Bering wanted to, he could think of more.

But this is the simplest one.

In fact, it was precisely because Kaguya told these secrets that Bering also understood why there had never been an origin for thousands or tens of thousands of years before.

There was probably a lot of underlying logic in the past, not just "death", "life", "soul", etc. But with the passage of time, these underlying logics are probably occupied by xenomorphs, and except for a few laws that are absolutely impossible to influence, the original "review steps" are gradually disappearing.

And the final word probably rests on Hermes.

I don't know when it began, Hermes stole the "soul" and destroyed this law that could not have been affected.

Since then, it is estimated that these underlying logics have completely collapsed, and now, only "life" and "death" remain.

Therefore, if xenos want to become "origins", I am afraid they only need to avoid scrutiny in front of these two laws that are still complete.

Compared to thousands of years ago, this is undoubtedly countless times simpler, and it has to be said that avoiding "life" and "death" is just as difficult as avoiding "soul", but at least there are traces to follow.

At least fake death, deception, this means can be used to escape death and life, and the soul ......

It's impossible to completely clear a person's brain.

If that's the case, it's beyond the time of a hammer.

I don't even have consciousness, and I guess even if I transcend time, I've become a mechanical brain like a computer.

Therefore, Hermes destroyed the "soul", in fact, he removed the shackles that were finally shackled on the head of the xenomorph.

Again, there is the last and most important point.

The shadow on An Jianxiu's body once said personally that "time" no longer exists in the abyss.

Then this means that the lowest level of logic has disappeared for the time being.

Perhaps that's why xenos can have a way of transcending time - time can no longer hang over their heads as it once was, unbreakable like a golden hoop!

Then the next step is to use other methods to achieve the final result.

That is, "to the top".

To be honest, Bering was also slightly surprised when he first heard similar information.

Because this origin sounds too ...... Whatever.

But thinking about it later, he was also relieved.

After all, the law is pure, or to put it more ugly, rigid.

Although some xenomorphs have stolen the laws, the most fundamental laws are probably still clinging to the last rigidity.

Just as gravity cannot exert different effects on different people because of personal likes and dislikes, it can only be affected according to the actual situation, and other times it will always be rigid and generalizable.

Anyway, it sounds complicated, but that's exactly what it is.

However, Hermes asked me to go with her to the abyss to find time, and Bering thought to himself, 'What does she mean by that, doesn't there no time exist in the abyss?'

And Bering used to say that "prophets" are the means by which time tinkers with itself.

So according to this reasoning, "time" may have been hit hard and then disappeared from the abyss?

And Hermes probably had a way of using the Prophet to pull time back into the abyss?

Or does she have a deeper consideration?

Rubbing his chin, Bering fell into deep thought.

'Time hurts...... What level of things can hurt time? You must know that time is the law of the lowest logic, and it should be meaningless except that life or death, which is also the lowest logic, can affect it.

No, the so-called injuries are actually the embodiment of the personification of this law. The collision of rules is far beyond my concept, and I can't understand this existence at all in my life form. But there is one thing that is beyond doubt - the absence of time and the shattering of the soul at this time allow the Origin to be born.

And Hermes, the man who has mastered part of the laws of the soul, may be one of the keys to the origin of the monsters? From her, can the xenomorphs fool those underlying logics? How are those laws examined in the process of deception? What is the result of failure?

Bering could not answer these questions at all.

He even felt that even if he reached the end of the Heavenly Abyss, he would not be able to figure out these answers.

In the final analysis, as a human being, his intellectual, spiritual, and intellectual reserves are no longer enough for him to figure out such an abstract questionβ€”if he were an astonishing scientist or a thoughtful philosopher, he might be able to summarize some clues, but Bering, an ordinary person, even if he had countless opportunities for trial and error, had no way to figure it out.

Zero is zero, and no matter how you do the regular addition, subtraction, multiplication and division operations, the result will not change.

But at least now, he's finally figured out what "origin" means.

The problems that had plagued him for months were finally over at this moment.

Of course, that didn't make him much happier.

Looking at Kaguya in front of him, Bering groaned, "So, you're saying you have a way to fuse?" And you want to use this method as a bargaining chip in exchange for me helping you kill Xun Mo? ”

Kaguya nodded heavily, "That's right." ”

She looked directly at Bering: "I can admit that this is my last hole card." So unless you get things done, I'm never going to say a word about it - like I said before, I have a lot of trust in your abilities. ”

When he said "trust", Kaguya was very clear.

And Bering just smiled.

He could feel Kaguya's decision.

As she said, unless Bering settles the matter and shows her the evidence, she will not be able to reveal a single word, whether he is tortured or coerced and enticed.

With Kaguya's paranoid personality, she probably really did it.

Sitting in his chair, Bering said calmly: "So, the purpose of you doing this is to take revenge?" ”

Avenge.

When she heard this word, Kaguya's expression flickered for a moment.

It took her a long time to come back to her senses, and said with a wry smile: "I really can't hide anything from you." ”

"That's right," she said crisply, "I'm here for revenge." ”

"Like you said before, I'm a hybrid of human and xenomorph. My 'father' is from this country, my 'mother'...... If she could be called a mother, she would be a different species. ”

Kaguya said lightly, "A few years ago, when I was a child, my mother had to seek to improve her strength due to certain circumstances. At this time, she was told that she could be promoted on the peninsula. ”

"My mother believed it, and went to that island, and the end result was that someone had her head cut off," Kaguya said, "It was Xun Mo who cut off her head, and the current battle record is probably still recorded in his gun - my mother's eyes are embedded in Xun Mo's sniper scope, even if you ask him, he will answer this himself." ”

Straightening up, Kaguya's voice seemed to come out of his teeth, "Of course I can understand humans hunting xenos, but I can't tolerate my mother being hunted and continuing to defile her body. You could say I'm a double standard, and yes, I totally admit it. But! ”

Kaguya's tone became sharper: "If the blood feud can't be effectively implemented, I can't forgive myself!" Even if I knew that Xun Mo was doing the right thing, I couldn't bear it!

”

"That guy may be a monster to you, but to me it's the mother who raised me! Although we are not related by blood, her affection for me has long been more cordial than that of a pure mother. The two people behind you can probably understand this - it is precisely because it is a monster that it will cherish the part that seems to have peeled off from itself. ”

The witch and the red spider behind him nodded subconsciously as they listened to Kaguya's words.

The vast majority of ordinary people will love their children very much, which is a continuation of the blood relationship. But for the xenos, if it was really the method that Kaguya said was born, then most of the xenos who still have emotions will probably also love their children very much.

After all, it is a part of one's own "essence", a continuation of one's beliefs, and a descendant of this world that has remained after oneself has been distorted.

Even if most of the xenomorphs are crazy critics with sick brains, sometimes, it is precisely because of madness that they attach great importance to this.

I'm afraid the same is true for Kaguya.

When he was in Yanxia Mountain, Bering remembered his evaluation of Kaguya at that time.

She is a more morbid guy than the "black sickle" of Western Europe.

At first, she disguised herself well, but at the end of the three years, Kaguya finally showed her fangs.

She drove all the people who trusted her into the square one by one, and at the same time arranged all kinds of monsters in all directions, and then with a butcher's knife in her hand, she began to slaughter the people in the square with the monsters, and swallowed some of them with great hatred.

It's really swallowed, and it's even better than eating the xenomorph Ji Qianqin [beep].

And the reason why she did this is because these are the people who have pampered and persecuted her mother.

In fact, it was recorded in the diary that in the last period of Kaguya's life, Xun Mo, who had already retired, found her again.

It is not known what kind of communication they had between them. But the result is obvious - Kaguya died at the hands of Xun Mo, and Xun Mo was cut off and lying alone on the island country full of different species.

At that time, when human beings were about to become extinct, Xun Mo's ending would probably not be much better than the original Song Qingci.

How to say it, after all, it is a matter of the previous generation, so Bering is not very good to evaluate.

After all, this thing itself is not very well received.

From an individual point of view, of course, Kaguya's revenge has her reasons, but because she is half a xenomorph and her brain is not normal, it is very problematic to expand and affirm her.

In the final analysis, it is because of this problem of the twisted law that gave birth to xenos.

If there is no such rule, maybe Kaguya can be born in a normal person's home, and naturally there is no need to think about this kind of mess.

Thinking of this, Bering couldn't help but sigh.

"Xun Mo, it's impossible for me to do it," he said, "You should be able to understand that I, like Xun Mo, will not hesitate to do anything if I encounter a harmful monster." ”

Looking at Kaguya's disappointed face, Bering pondered for a moment: "However, it's not that there is no way to save the country. ”

"I remember I asked Midori to come with you, right?" He said, "What did you do to her?" ”

Lu Qi, the "relative" of the Red Lotus, is one of the deities of the Nine Divine Cults.

Hearing Bering's words, Kaguya cheered up: "She's fine, she's staying behind now." I didn't let her come out to see you because ......"

Before she could finish speaking, Bering interrupted her: "I know, anyway, you can hand her over." ”

"There are some things I need to talk about in front of both of you," he said softly, "not just for you, but for her." ”

The voice fell.

Soon, Kaguya asked the people around him to call the green Qi from behind.

And Midori Qi has been staying in the back of the abandoned factory, as Kaguya said.

Now Lu Qi has returned to her original appearance, and when she looks at Bering, she can't help but blurt out: "It's really you?!" ”

"I thought you were dead," she said, "Kaguya told me you couldn't die, and I didn't believe it, so I thought I'd just stay in this place." ”

Bai Ling smiled when he heard this: "Then it looks like you are a little disappointed?" ”

Lu Qi waved her hand: "How is it possible, I am still waiting for you to resurrect the red lotus for me." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Bering had a serious expression: "What I want to talk about is precisely this aspect. ”

"Actually, Kaguya, you don't need to rush for revenge," he said, "I made a promise to Midori, and you should have heard it by your side at the time." ”

Kaguya seemed to remember something, and his face moved slightly: "You mean ......?"

"That's right," Bering replied categorically, "not just Red Lotus, but in a way, your mother...... It can also be resurrected! ”

Kaguya's eyes widened in disbelief: "You mean ......!" No! ”

She was a little excited: "You told Lu Qi before that it was because Honglian died earlier, and it was only possible to ......."

This time, Bering didn't wait for Kaguya to finish speaking.

He smiled: "Of course, that's what I said before. ”

"But it is only necessary to go back a little bit, say, to the day of your mother's death," said Bering, seductively, "and I can testify to this. ”

After all, when Bering regressed his memory, he changed his entire soul.

The witch and the red spider also knew this, and when Bai Ling said the following, they couldn't help but have a thoughtful expression on their faces.

Although they had forgotten the memory of Bering's previous regression time, they still thought of something when they heard Bering say this.

Kaguya, on the other hand, was still at a loss.

While she was struggling, Bering spread out her hands: "Actually, you don't have a better choice, do you?" ”

"Just like Lu Qi, even if you succeed in revenge, what can you gain?" The corners of his mouth curled, "This method can only give you some comfort for yourself, but it doesn't solve the fundamental problem. You killed Xun Mo, and the result was nothing more than revenge, and it was still empty after all. ”

"But if you would trust me, believe that I could go back in time to the day your mother died, and change the outcome of that day......"

Bering's voice was very soft: "So, can you really let your mother come back, and then completely solve all these contradictions and entanglements?" ”

While Bering is speaking.

Kaguya just looked him in the eye.

After a long time, she didn't say anything, but her eyes became more complicated than before.
