According to the Blue Bird, my siren blade is the power of the Grand Karcist?

That would also explain why Hakuma chose to retreat in front of the siren's blade at that time, even if he was a grand karcist, he couldn't turn a blind eye when facing the same level of power.

But I'm not a Grand Karcist myself, not even a Warlock.

Although I am also a warlock criminal in the definition of the Security Bureau, that is only a warlock in the broad sense of the word. Broadly speaking, anyone who is able to manipulate the spiritual power of a spirit is broadly classified as a warlock. In the group of true warlocks, only after learning secret knowledge and achieving something are they qualified to call themselves warlocks.

"Self-proof true spirit, and true spiritual power......" I recited these two terms, and then asked, "What is a 'true spirit'?" ”

The blue bird replied succinctly: "The so-called true spirit is consciousness itself. ”

"If taken literally, what self-proof means is to prove that you are a conscious person?" I asked, "What's so difficult about that?" ”

"This is a far more difficult thing than it sounds......" Lie Que took over the topic and continued after a little deliberation, "Have you ever doubted it...... Humans outside of themselves are biological machines? ”

Hearing this, I have already thought about it, is the so-called "self-proof true spirit" referring to......

"Since the beginning of modern times, there has been a certain view in secular society that the human body is essentially a biological machine; Human thoughts and desires are nothing more than electrochemical reactions that occur in the brain. All conscious activity can be explained by electrical currents and endocrine. "But this view alone does not explain the 'consciousness itself,' which is the 'me' that you can perceive." Some people may think that the 'me' itself is just an illusion, but even if it is an illusion, there must be a 'me' that can produce the illusion. This is what I mean, and human consciousness is self-evident. Even if all human beings in the universe are dreams and illusions, at least the existence of 'me' is real. ”

"But here comes a new question, I know I have consciousness, so how do I prove that the other billions of humans have consciousness just like me?" He seemed to have changed from an impartial inquisitor to a preacher who taught and taught, and I was deeply aware that he was indeed the teacher of the blue bird, "words, demeanor, and deeds...... These reactions can be explained by bio-machine theory. Even the robot vacuum cleaner has the memory to remember instructions, the desire to automatically devour garbage, and the instinct to avoid obstacles...... Just because humans outside of themselves have the same memories, desires, and instincts as themselves, it can't prove that there is any essential difference between humans outside of oneself and sweeping robots. ”

So the warlocks began to study where consciousness was located in the body. And at the end of the research, naturally, there is nothing. He said.

I have thought about these words of him before.

Or many people should have thought about whether people other than themselves will be just walking dead who automatically respond to stimuli from the outside world, just looking emotional, and in fact no different from NPCs in the game......

But for most people, this kind of imagination is nothing more than lewdness before going to bed or going to the toilet, and no one takes this issue seriously.

Warlocks, on the other hand, really take this issue as a very important one.

"But robot vacuums don't have a soul." I said, "Maybe the scientists can't be aware of the existence of the soul, but didn't the warlock already know about the existence of the soul—that is, the spirit?" ”

"Spirits and spirituality are nothing more than alternative matter and energy." "This shows that spirits are nothing more than physical bodies in disguise, and spirituality is just a different kind of physical quantity." Consciousness that cannot be verified in the physical body cannot be verified in the spirit body. ”

The first half of his words, I also heard the blue bird say in my dream. At that time, I sensed that something was unspeakably wrong from this point of view, and now I am finally relieved. Yes, if spirits and spirituality are nothing more than alternative matter and energy, there is still no proof of human consciousness.

"In other words, the so-called self-proof of the true spirit is to find the true place of consciousness......" I suddenly remembered what the blue bird once said, "but I have heard that for the personality, the physical body is more like the real essence, that is to say, the true spirit is still in the physical body?" ”

"That's simply because personality is done according to the functions and experiences of the flesh. The personality formed after birth is closer to the body, and the true spirit that exists today is closer to the spirit. If the spirit is destroyed, the true spirit will cease to function, so many warlocks believe that the true spirit exists somewhere in the spirit. As for the physical body and the spirit body, which side is the essence of man, it is also a topic that warlocks always debate. At this point, he paused, "Accidentally said it far, in short...... Self-proof of the true spirit means that we have found the place of consciousness, and as long as we do this, we will be able to use the power of consciousness itself, and that is the power of the true spirit. ”

"Is the power of the true spirit a very powerful force?" I asked.

"Not only is it powerful, the power of the true spirit is the most primitive spirituality in heaven and earth, it is said that it can realize any desire, and the only thing that binds the power of the true spirit is the user's own imagination. Even because it is too omnipotent, it sometimes turns against its master. He said, "But it stands to reason that the power of the true spirit should be a colorless and formless power, and your siren's blade is an axe...... Since Hakuju judged that this was the power of the true spirit, it would not be unfounded, but there was indeed a huge discrepancy between your weapon and the power of the true spirit in the data records. ”

Able to fulfill any desire? Is it only imagination that holds this power in check? I can't feel that from the Siren's Blade.

If the Sirenblade really had such incredible power, I would still be a demon to this day, and I would have been cut into small pieces that were convenient for me to lead the attack on me.

"In that case...... Isn't the siren blade the power it gives me, but the power that derives from my consciousness itself? "I feel like some of my assumptions have been overturned, but in this way, some of my doubts have been answered.

Why was I able to summon the Siren's Blade even after "it" died, and why did the Siren's Blade be out of place in the power that "it" had given me...... It's all because the siren's blade comes from my consciousness itself.

However, why couldn't I summon it before, but I summoned it after I was almost alive? Is it because of the cliché that when people face the crisis of death, the potential power will burst out? Because my consciousness was stimulated by death, it changed like this when I woke up?

"That's all it can be." Lieq affirmed my words.

The blue bird whispered, "If the siren blade is the power of the true spirit...... Isn't Li Duo a Grand Karcist? ”

"What are you thinking?" "When we evaluate a warlock as a Grand Karcist, we are evaluating not only what he has today, but also what he has accumulated so far in order to produce it...... Even if you learn an advanced mathematical formula in college, no one will think that you are a great mathematician, right? But if you are the one who proved this profound mathematical formula, you are undoubtedly a great mathematician. That's the reason. ”

"I'm just talking about it." Blue Bird smiled embarrassedly, and then straightened his color, "Teacher, I have something I want to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" Column is missing.

As expected, the next thing Blue Bird said was to recommend me to join the Security Bureau.

In order to increase the weight of the recommendation, she also specifically mentioned the fact that I rescued Qiao Licorice on Nameless Mountain, and killed the old bones.

"Are the old bones dead? Meddlesome. Lie Que bowed his head calmly, and then turned his gaze to me, "Would you like to join the Security Bureau?" ”

"I do." Without hesitation, I said, and asked, "But is it really okay?" ”

"Of course there is a problem. With your resume over the past five years, even I can't make you an official law enforcement warlock right away. But if you add some premises, such as...... Becoming a supernumerary law enforcement warlock who is not registered on the roster of law enforcement warlocks is not a big problem. After that, if you make a contribution, I can also find a way to turn you positive. "Now that you have regained your strength, in other words, you have become a potential unstable element in society, and I can't just let you go back to society to find a job." Let you join the Security Bureau and be by your side to supervise ...... It's also a reasonable approach. And you happen to have the will and integrity to fight criminals, so why shouldn't I hire you? ”

The willingness to fight the criminals is just that, the integrity of the character...... I got goosebumps when I heard it.

Hearing this, the blue bird clenched his fist happily.

"In the future, within the Security Service, you will belong directly to me. If you are ordered to do so by another law enforcement warlock or housekeeper with a higher status than you, you have the right to ignore it. "Is there any more questions?" ”

"Nope." I say.

"Okay." He nodded, and then asked, "Can you let me see your weapon again?" ”

The siren's blade reappeared in my hand, and I held it up.

He didn't touch it, just leaned over and observed it without saying a word for more than ten seconds. Then he turned around, sat down in his seat, and motioned for us to leave.

As we left the office and closed the door, his voice came to my ears from the depths of the office.

"—put that power to good use." It was a very cold voice, "One day, if you rely on your power and do evil, you will face my thunder again." Be enlightened. ”

The door closed.

----

My perception of the lack of columns is quite mixed.

It was he who led the team to attack me when he was a demon, and it was in that battle that "it" died...... Although it wasn't Liequ who killed "it" with his own hands, but a helmet-wearing law enforcement warlock who sneaked to the rear while Lieque was pestering me, and I have no grudge against this result, it would be quite difficult to say that I would have a good impression of Lieque.

If someone else praises me for my "integrity", I will definitely rejoice at the same time as I am deserved, but if I change to a list, I really don't know what feelings to show to accept.

In addition, his attitude today also puzzles me.

This confusion does not mean that he is too friendly to me, a perverted murderer, but that he doesn't ask me anything.

He must be very eager to know why the Grand Karcist Hakuju snatched "its"'s hand, and if he wants to find out the truth, he must have more information about "it".

And right now, in the eyes of others, the person who knows the most about "it" is undoubtedly me.

He didn't ask me about it.

Is it because he also understands that I don't know more?

Or is it ...... He already knows something?

On the way out of the Security Bureau, Blue Bird walked in front and turned around and called out to me, "Li Duo." ”

"Huh?"

"What are you going to do after that?"

"What do you mean?"

"You won't ...... Do you want to track the whereabouts of that hand? "She looked at me seriously.

"Yes." I answered without hesitation. I never wanted to hide anything from her.

She didn't seem to expect me to confess like this, and after a moment of astonishment, her voice rose a little, "But that's just a hand!" If you get it back, what can you do? ”

She's right, even if I go through a lot of hard work to get that hand back from the Grand Karcist White Horse, it will be nothing more than masturbation.

It can neither resurrect "it" nor produce any value.

However, I couldn't stand it anyway, and that hand was taken by criminals with unknown details and used for unknown things.

No, maybe my root motive is something more vulgar.

I may just have a strong desire for "it", even if it's just a hand, and I don't want to give it to anyone.

"You're really ......," Bluebird sighed deeply, "Let's not talk about that...... Do you want to go back? I'll give you a ride. ”

After that, I got into the passenger seat of her car and moved towards her temporary accommodation.

I didn't expect her to drive, and I was a little restless in the passenger seat. Generally speaking, isn't this kind of "driving you home" thing all a man's task? I have a bit of this lingering idea of machismo in my head. But I don't own a car and I can't drive, so I can't say that.

The blue bird asked curiously, "What's wrong with you?" Motion sickness? ”

"It's okay......" I said to him.

"Yes." She didn't ask either. Is it because I told her to track that hand, she looks preoccupied.

She even drove the car in the wrong place. He said he was going to send me back, but he unconsciously drove the car into another community.

When I reminded her, she woke up, "Ah...... Sorry for the misplace......"

Then, however, she hesitated and made an unexpected suggestion.

"It's all here, do you want to come into my house and sit down?" She asked.
