131 Blue Bird
The next morning, I used my laptop to sort out the information I had obtained from Wei Chi's memory, and then sent it to Lieqing.
And, in order to help the Security Service recover the remains of the sabertooth, I also roughly located the location of the incident. Although Wei Chi couldn't tell where he had run to the outskirts, I could relive his memories repeatedly, and it was not difficult to find out where he died. After that, the Tianhe City Security Bureau should handle the matter properly.
In addition, I also reported the information that the bite was Barillo. I didn't pay much attention to this information in the past, but this view is obviously discreet. After Wei Chi, I can also react to this incident, biting blood can not only combine this secret with the demon contract to deceive other demon warlocks, but also deceive the people of the Security Bureau. In the past, it was inconvenient for me to tell the origin of this information, but now that Lieku knows that I can read the memories of the people I killed, there is no need to continue to hide it.
After doing this, I stopped looking at my laptop, but closed my eyes and recalled, or rather recalled, the images I had seen in Wei Chi's memory. The old and cruel half-blood demon gnawed at human flesh bite by bite, transforming into a beautiful maiden in the moonlight. Her bright red eyes, which were as cold as jewels, her seductive but cruel smile, and her green and charming body, which was reminiscent of flower bones, could not be stopped as if she were fascinated once she began to draw them in her mind.
However, under that beautiful skin, there seems to be a monster beyond human comprehension, without morality and conscience, and is coldly spying on the outside world. In my imagination, the horrible eyeballs slowly moved in a faintly viscous sound, and then met mine. Hidden behind that cute face, staring at me with a mechanical gaze like an insect. The image lingered in my mind like a sweet nightmare, and I couldn't help but be congested with horror in my heart.
I can't reasonably explain my fiery and evil impulses. I'm over 90 years old, and it's definitely enough to be my great-grandmother. And I actually had a physical desire for her, for her. How I wanted to encroach on her, how I wanted to fight her.
This desire is absolutely wrong.
But I couldn't help myself from thinking like every night in the five years of sinking. My shaky heart was even noticed by the blue bird.
After Joan returned to being human, it was only natural for him to move back into his own home. And Bluebird has also chosen a new place to live, and it is located upstairs from my residence. After that, I went back to the days when I used to cook and spend the night at her house. That night, after doing the same thing with me as usual, she hugged me tightly with contented exhaustion, and after a moment asked me why I was sometimes absent-minded. I was reluctant to mention that kind of thing, but since she had asked about it, I couldn't hide it anyway. No matter how embarrassing the thought, no matter how private the secret, as long as she wants to know, I will confide in her without reservation.
After listening, she was silent for a long time, and in the room where the lights were out, she could only hear the faint gasp of her movement after exercising. I was mentally prepared to bear her anger, but she made a lifeless sound until the end, and kneaded my face as hard as she kneaded dough, and only let me go after a while.
"You don't think I'm going to be angry, do you?" She asked with a smile in her eyes.
I asked rhetorically, "Aren't you angry?" ”
"I've been mentally prepared for this, this kind of thing will definitely happen sooner or later." "But I didn't expect it to be a bite of blood...... Does she really have that much of your fetishes? ”
"I'm not very expressive either." I said, "Maybe it's because she gives me a sense of being inhuman." ”
"Really? As far as I know, isn't she supposed to be the exact opposite of what you expected? She asked.
"How?" I asked.
"The Kraken you like doesn't know anything about humans, because she's likely to follow a completely extradimensional mindset in the eyes of humans, as if humans can't understand her at all, and she's completely incomprehensible to humans." She seemed to have thought about it very seriously, "but the bite was the opposite, she knew how to dress, she could speak, and everything she did was justified." She is even well versed in human psychology and culture, and even a warrior as seasoned as Wei Chi is applauded by her machinations. Although she is a half-blood demon, from this point of view, even if she is a demon in the true sense of the word, since she is so deeply human, then it is no different from a human to you. ”
"Hmm......" I listened to her words, and at the same time I was thinking about it. That's right, according to this logic, I really shouldn't treat biting blood as a human thing.
It's like I never thought of the sirens as truly human, but since she has a strong human nature, I'll treat her as a human being.
So what makes me feel inhuman about biting blood?
Is it because she eats people? But cannibalism is not enough to make a fuss by the moral standards of a demon sorcerer, let alone her, even old bones have eaten people, and middlemen and succubi have also eaten human flesh to a greater or lesser extent in order to strengthen their own strength. Obviously, succubi are also half-blood demons and eat people, but I have no desire for succubi.
However, I still feel a strong sense of inhumanity in the body of the biting blood, but I can't describe in words what part of her emanates from.
"I can't figure it out either." In the end, that's all I can say.
She smiled and hugged me, clinging to my body with her own body, "Then don't think about biting blood for a while, think about me more." ”
"Hmm." I responded.
"You should have something else on your mind." She said, "Let's talk about it now." ”
Hearing this, I hesitated. It's not that I want to hide it, it's meant to be a showdown with the blue bird. But for me, it was something far more shaky than the fact that I had a desire to bite blood. Not even just shaken, but painful. And it's also closely related to the blue bird, which makes it even more difficult for me to talk about it.
But I knew very well that I had to say it, because I couldn't hide myself from the bluebird. Even then, I had to cast a skeptical word at the bluebird.
"Blue Bird, you said before that you implanted a malignant factor in the healing dream, right?" I say.
"Yes." She said.
"The role of the malignant factor is to reverse the power relationship between me and the demon in the healing dream, and the original script should have been to defeat the weak demon with the siren blade with a strong force, but due to the malignant factor, I became a ignorant student in the healing dream, and the power of the demon man occupied an overwhelming upper hand, and even the siren blade fell into the hands of the demons." I say.
"That's right." She said.
I was silent for a moment, but finally said, "Actually, there is no such thing as a malignant factor, right?" ”
——
All along, I was vaguely aware that there was some inexplicable suspicion in healing dreams, but I couldn't recognize it exactly.
Not long ago, Lie's words gave me a crucial reminder.
He told me that there is an absolute center in any dream, and that the other elements of the dream are only foils and even inconsequential. Therefore, as long as this central thing is destroyed, the dream will also be destroyed.
At that time, I only felt that this passage was important to me, but I didn't know how to apply it to myself. And after the mass slumber event was over, I had time to reorganize my thoughts. After thinking about it for a while, I finally used this passage as the key to take the suspicion of healing dreams out of the black box of consciousness.
First of all, I can be sure that although the healing dream was my dream, the center of the day was not me, but the demons. Therefore, only by killing the demons can I wake up from my dreams.
Lieq had told me before that because of the existence of malignant factors, dreams had lost all their reference value in diagnosing my psyche. But there is a problem here, the scope of influence of the malignant factor is only limited to me and the demon, since the other elements in the dream have not been affected, why can't I continue to refer to it?
The reason is very simple, because in this dream, the only reference value for diagnosing my psychology is "me" and "demon", or in other words, only "the power relationship between me and the demon".
They certainly did not intend to intervene in the formation of the dream, but at most specified the theme of the dream in advance, convinced that there must be an "I" and a "demon" in it. It's like a propositional essay, they can "come up" for my consciousness, but what will happen to my consciousness after that, they don't know at all. Otherwise, the diagnostic reference value of dreams to my psyche would not have existed from the beginning.
However, they had predicted the power relationship between me and the demons long before that, believing that my power in the dream must be overwhelmingly strong compared to the power of the demons.
On what basis did they base their conclusions? Why do you think I must be stronger?
It was only based on a series of interrogations and psychological tests that had been done to me before I fell asleep.
Based on interrogation and psychological tests, they came to the conclusion that I was a good person, and based on this conclusion, they made a prediction that I must be stronger than the demon in my dream.
On the other hand, if the demon in the dream is stronger, then I must be a villain in reality.
Presumably, Lie Que must have been very shocked when he saw that I was so weak compared to the demon in the healing dream, and then he must have thought so, the previous strict interrogation and authoritative psychological test were all wrong, and the demon Li Duo was really an evil person by nature.
The demon Li Duo must be killed, and he must be killed.
But Lieq later reversed his decision. Because at that time, the person in charge of monitoring and curing the dream said to Lie Que: You misunderstood, Li Duo is not a wicked person, and the reason why the dream became like that is because I implanted a malignant factor.
That person was the Blue Bird.
But she clearly said that her cultivation has always been focused on improving her combat effectiveness, and because the way of dreams is difficult to apply to combat, she has never learned the knowledge of dreams.
So how did she manage to implant a malignant factor into my dreams and reverse the power relationship between me and the demons so precisely?
If you say...... There is no such thing as a malignant factor, that is, what dreams are meant to be?
Before the showdown with her, I looked for Lieqing.
"I see, that's what you've been talking about about curing dreams?" After listening to my words, Lieque's expression did not fluctuate, "I did doubt you at the time, and the blue bird did say this to me." Of course, I can't believe that kind of words that sound like cover-ups. That's why I'm going to dive into your dreams and test you psychologically. And as you know, you really are innocent. ”
"So how did the blue bird know how to implant malignant factors?" I asked.
"Have you forgotten? The Blue Bird was the watchdog of your dreams at the time, and in that position, even if she had never learned about dreams, she had the conditions to intervene in your dreams. Especially in the process of dream formation, she will have more room to intervene. He said.
"She must have done this kind of work for the first time, could she be so precise when she first started?" I asked.
"No, by common sense. But Blue Bird is a genius beyond common sense, and in her past five years of cultivation, she has not done anything more extraordinary than that. In addition, I also investigated the information records of the healing dream through the device after the incident, and there were indeed traces of forcible intervention in it. "Of course, this level of justification alone is certainly not enough." So the most important thing is the psychological test I did to you in my dream, even if you are actually a genius of fraud in reality, you in the dream will reflect the truest side of your heart. ”
"So, can you let me have another healing dream?" I insisted, "Just do it again." ”
"Unfortunately, no. Psychometric tests are meant to be useful for people who can't understand the purpose of the test, and the same is true for dreams that have the purpose of psychological testing. Even if you enter the healing dream again, the results presented will no longer be of reference value. He shook his head, "Why are you so persistent? Believe in yourself a little more, Lee. I can see all your kindness and bravery, and I can see how desperate you are in fighting evil, and even the warlocks in the Liucheng Security Bureau are slowly accepting you. I can understand your guilt about what you've done in the past, but it's time to let yourself go. The sins of the past will be atoned for with the righteous deeds of the future, you just have to think about it. ”
But I still can't let go, how can I let go? I left Leq, and tonight I confessed my thoughts to the bluebird.
What the hell am I?
In the darkness, the bluebird embraced me and stared at me quietly.
