202. The Truth and the Concealment

"Why do we make a pact with someone like you who is still alive......

Although the people we sign contracts with are usually Heroic Spirits, there are special cases like you that make contracts while still alive. In your case, your soul is extremely malleable and much stronger than ordinary people, and it is for this reason that Irel came to you. ”

"The soul is malleable and strong...... Is this any good? ”

Li Xiang was a little puzzled, no one had ever said these things to him before, according to Iriel's meaning, she was a randomly selected person in the absence of energy.

"You should have feelings in the real world, right? Compared with ordinary people, you are more comfortable when playing others, and you can better understand the inner emotions of others, so you are good at acting. This is the outward manifestation of the high plasticity of your soul. Transforming your soul into other forms is actually your own ability. It is precisely because of this that you acquire that ever-changing 'personality' in the world you have just experienced. ”

"You say it's something I have? Could it be that the ability to transform into a Heroic Spirit was not given to me by Iriel? ”

"Yes, as I said, we can't directly influence reality, and Irel naturally does. All she does is intervene in your consciousness, modify it to some extent, give hints that you can do things that you thought you couldn't do. If you're not convinced, recall the first time you used your ability to transform, it was a world of consciousness, and while someone with a trickery or disguise could easily change the shape of your soul, Irel didn't have such a function. The specific process of your incarnation into King Arthur is actually a lot of hints given to you by Iriel. Especially if you look in the mirror and think you're really transformed, but you don't. ”

Li Xiang remembered that he used the reflection of the screen of a "tablet" given by Irel to determine whether his appearance had changed, as well as the extra and missing organs in his body......

"Even if the specular reflection is fake, the touch of the body can also be faked?"

"That's right, through the stimulation of a specific frequency band, you think that you have grown on your body, but at first you don't. And after you accept this hint, you will be able to transform into the form of the Immortal and use the abilities of the Immortal on your own. At the same time, in order to make up for the shortcomings that may arise from the first use of the ability, the first world chooses the game world, and through the control program, even if you can't change it well, you can make up for it to a certain extent. ”

"No wonder I always feel that something is not right when I recall the situation at that time, how can Naiko, who is the king of stupid hair, be so heavy. I didn't expect it to be the reason...... Forget it, you say you can't interfere in the real world, so why is Irel able to modify and strengthen my body? ”

"Remember when Irel said that she could only help you strengthen to a level close to the limits of humanity?"

Li Xiang nodded.

"That's right, although we can't 'directly' affect the real world, we can influence the conscious and subconscious indirectly, and in some cases hypnosis is also a problem. Irel 'strengthens' your body by influencing your subconscious mind and your brain activity, and instead of strengthening it, your body subconsciously increases the power output of your muscles. The human body is already strong, but most of the time it is limited by self-protection. If the restrictions are completely relaxed, then everyone can become superhuman. Irel has helped you loosen some of the restrictions. But you don't have to worry, she is gradually letting go of the restrictions, and the process of letting go of the restrictions is relatively slow, and there is no harm to your body. ”

"God" continues:

"As for memory, it's even simpler, there are actually some connections between consciousness and memory, and by manipulating these connections, we can strengthen memory ability through various suggestive hypnosis and stimulation methods, so as to achieve the effect of unforgettable."

"So, what Irel said about the destruction of my body by lightning is also false?"

"I guess it's a half-truth, you should have been using an electronic device at the time, right? The main target of Thunderbolt is actually your phone. Your body was not harmed by lightning. ”

Li Xiang's fists gradually clenched,

"I'm sorry, but I'd like to talk to Irel about this, if you're telling the truth and the truth. That means Irel lied to me, and if that's the case, then I'll have to ask her about it. ”

"I'm afraid, I can't meet this request of yours."

"Why is that?"

"Because your guide, Iriel, has dissipated in the process of crossing the barrier of the world and breaking through the interception of the Void Beast."

"Dissipate? Wait a minute...... What do you mean......"

"That's right, like many heroic spirits in the past, existence dissipates and means the 'death' of our spiritual beings. Irel is completely gone. That's why I found you directly. ”

"However, obviously I also obtained the Joan of Arc Lingji ...... she gave me in the previous world."

"I'm afraid, that can be regarded as her suicide note. I apologize to you for her deception of you, because these things were carried out under my arrangement. Even in order to make Irel better carry out the task I gave her, I deleted some of her database, artificially created a glitch and changed some things, which is what you experienced before. ”

"Whew-"

Li Xiang looked up to the sky and sighed, raised his hand to prevent the other party from continuing to explain,

"I don't care what god you are, now let me calm down, I need to clean up my emotions."

"It's okay, I can understand your confusion right now, most of the things have been explained, I'll send your soul back to the real world now. You can live slowly in the real world and think slowly about whether or not to accept our invitation, and you are always welcome. ”

A burst of light flashed, and Li Xiang felt that his consciousness had returned to his body.

"This guy who claims to be a god is really ......"

Li Xiang stayed for a few seconds, and finally realized that the layout in front of him was a newly purchased house outside his campus in the real world. And now, in his bedroom.

At that time, taking the opportunity to clean and rearrange the interior after buying a house, Li Xiang purchased a batch of new furniture and put a desk in the bedroom.

picked up a blank piece of paper on the table, on which a string of numbers was recorded, which was the year, month and day recorded by Li Xiang before teleportation.

Comparing the date on the paper with the calendar on his phone, Li wanted to confirm that he was the same as the previous times, although he had been in the derivative world for a long time, but the real world had only passed for a few minutes.

Li wanted to change his clothes and push the door to go out.

Wandering around at will all the way, Li Xiang found himself all the way to the Siyuan Bar where he worked in the real world.

"Since you're here, let's go in and have a look."

It's only noon now, and the national conditions of China determine that there are not many people who buy drunk in broad daylight. There are only a few customers in the Siyuan bar.

Tony, a bartender who was making a cocktail, heard the retro metal doorbell and was about to say "welcome" when he saw Lee trying to push the door in.

"Li Xiang is you, isn't it night to work? Why did you come here so early today? ”

Li Xiang paused slightly, revealing a standardized smile,

"Suddenly there is nothing to do today, I am really a little idle, wandering around and casually arriving here, just come in and sit."

"Okay...... Guest, your wine ...... But it's not busy now, I don't need you to go to work, you can just sit down. I'll go to the back kitchen and take stock of the materials, and if there's anything you can help with. ”

Tony wiped his hands with the towel he had prepared at the bar, then turned and opened a small door and entered the warehouse.

Li Xiang found a random bar chair in front of the bar and sat down, and before his ass was hot, he heard a female voice coming from behind him, and it seemed to be calling himself.

"Little handsome guy, what a coincidence, we met again!"

Li Xiang turned around, and a young female white-collar worker was waving to him.

After searching in his memory for a while, Li Xiang finally remembered that the female white-collar worker in front of him seemed to be one of the guests he had served in the real world in the past.

"It's Miss Nan, isn't it?"

"Wow, does the little handsome guy remember me? It's really amazing, but I rarely hear the name Miss Nan, my surname is Feng, how old are you, just call me Feng Nan. Little handsome guy, what is your surname? ”

"Don't have your surname Li, and a single name wants to be a word. Just call me Li Xiang. ”

"Li Xiang, ideal? Good name. Little handsome guy, aren't you a substitute bartender for the night shift? Why did you come so early today? ”

"I happened to have nothing to do today, so I came here a little bored. It's Miss Feng Nan, you, customers at noon are really rare. ”

"Today I helped my girlfriend - oh, by the way, it is the one you saw before and the one with me - signed a list, our company's system is that you can take an extra half day off in the month when you successfully sign the order, I usually am in the financial department, and signing a list today is equivalent to half a day off for nothing this month, so I just use this half day off to rest and rest."

Feng Nan stretched, and then smiled and raised the cup that he had finished drinking.

"Brother Li Xiang, since you happened to meet you today, can you let me try your craftsmanship?"

"Well, of course, yes. What would you like to drink? ”

"It's up to the bartender. There is a bonus for signing the order, and the price is not a problem. But if you're too dark, I'm going to turn my face, Ang? ”

Li Xiang smiled and walked into the bar:

"Okay then."

30 ml of gin, 15 ml of Cointreau, 15 ml of lemon juice and half a egg white, plus 10 ml of brown sugar syrup and shake over ice, mix quickly for 15 seconds and pour into a triangular glass chilled for 3 minutes. Garnish with a cut cherry on the rim of the cup.

"This is Pretty in Pink, a classic cocktail created for women a hundred years ago, the amount is relatively small, and the syrup is added, the taste is relatively soft and sweet, after all, it is still daytime, this degree is just right."

"It's so pink, thank you."

Feng Nan gently raised his hand to Li Xiang in greeting. Lee wanted to smile back.

Looking at the various customers in the bar, Li Xiang suddenly felt a sense of calm.

This familiar breath of life made him feel at ease.

And in the spirit world, after Li Xiang's soul disappeared, a female figure broke in, covered her mouth and chuckled:

"I can't imagine that one day our kind god king will play with deception and intrigue like the god of trickery, it's really a bad thing."

The light of the Bonding God turned into a gentle male figure:

"Field, you don't talk about it. I'm telling the truth. ”

Faced with this goddess who was called "Domain" by "Bond", the tone of Bondage was a little helpless.

Although the Gods of the Worlds is an organization founded by a group of gods and heroic spirits, as the goddess of the realm said, he is the main leader of the organization of the gods of the worlds, and can also be called the god king.

The reason why he is a god king is first of all because he is also a priest who receives "bonds", "connections", "society" and other priesthoods, and can connect different worlds of consciousness and derivative worlds, so that the heroic spirits can shuttle through various worlds to complete tasks, which is the guarantee and basic condition for the entire alliance to exercise its duties.

Secondly, the reason why human beings can become the spirit of all things to reach the top of the food chain, conquer nature and create civilization. Relying on the crowd to help each other.

The history of mankind is not created by one person, but by a group of people, who is the god of fetters and the god of human reason.

"Although you are telling the truth, you are hiding a lot from him. For example, that ushersman isn't really an ordinary Valkyrie, but a part of your separating sensibility. And she didn't dissipate, she was just taken back by you. ”

The goddess of the realm said in one sentence the "hypocrisy" that broke the bonds.

"The time is not ripe enough, I will naturally tell him all these things in the future, you don't have to worry about it."

"Okay, okay, let's do things, I'll wait for the people to ascend to the throne. But I have to warn our God-King that if you let him go, he won't necessarily come back to you. ”

"It's okay, I'm sure he'll accept my invitation in the end, after all, he's not the kind of person who wants to stay out of things. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used the self-detonation skill of the Holy Maiden of the Red Lotus when he didn't know if he would be gone. ”

"I hope you have an accurate eye for people, so after he accepts the contract, will he let him go on a mission with those normal heroic spirits in the guild, or do something else?"

"I can hold on for a while, and if I can, let him go through it a little more. There is no absolute difference between human nature and divinity, and the best way for a person to become a god is to go through thousands of years of time, see countless human feelings and warmth, life and death, and at that time, the formation of divinity is just a natural thing. ”
