259 The purpose of the white horse
I returned to Liucheng and hastily wrote a report on how I killed Dawn, and sent it to Lieqing, who was far away in the capital to deal with official business.
After that, even after a week, I still couldn't pull my emotions out of the blood-biting death.
But there are some things that I've come to understand slowly.
Why the Mapper Bite would think that the Ghost Bite would not give me a chance to survive, when the latter made the opposite choice, in the final analysis, it was up to me.
The memory of the blood bite of the mapping body is from the birth of the blood bite to the time of her defeat in the final battle in Puqing City, and the reason why she can answer the question of "the blood bite after that" is that I filled it in with the information of "the blood bite in my own eyes" as a substitute.
Although the mapper is able to digest it to a certain extent, and then reinterpret it into her own memories internally, if the real bite of blood changes in my feelings during this time is not only beyond my comprehension, but also beyond the scope of her own prediction, then no matter how much the mapper internally deduces itself, it is useless. It's like a person who has never experienced something, no matter how rich and realistic his imagination is, there will always be some discrepancies between the imagined situation and the personal experience.
The very existence of the ghost biting blood has proved that the blood biting before life produced "thoughts that the past self would never have produced" at the last moment. No, perhaps she had thought something similar from the time she wanted to assassinate Dawn alone. Because in the past, in her opinion, the world after her death was equivalent to non-existence, and she would not consciously leave any relics.
Not only her ghost, but even the suicide note I received at the beginning was a product that greatly violated her view of life and death. And until now, I still can't imagine what kind of thinking she experienced in the last moments of her life, and what kind of expectations she placed on the ghost she left behind.
At first, I thought her obsession was to kill me after I hugged her, in order to pursue the destruction of my soul, but in the end, she preemptively sent me out of the fog before I could respond.
I wanted to hug her.
And how could someone as discerning as she could not see my thoughts? If you have already seen it, why should you turn me away when I am about to get what I want?
When my thoughts and emotions were at a dead end, the siren gave me this perspective, "Could she not have seen it at all?" β
"How so?" I say.
"She's just very good at penetrating and exploiting the malice and darkness in people's hearts, and maybe she doesn't have that sensitive observation of good intentions." She speculated, "You're also very good at sensing the malice of others, but when she uses the power of stagnation to control you, you don't react in time." Because at that time, she used her power on you based on the motive of wanting to keep you alive. β
"That is, she didn't know what I was going to do in response at the time." I said, "She's scared I'm going to reject her......"
She thought for a moment and said, "It should be like this." β
If this is the answer, I can understand it too. However, after listening to the siren's speculation, I had another thought. Maybe the bite of blood is not because I'm afraid of refusing, but because I'm afraid of agreeing.
Although her real wish was to kill me after I hugged her, at least until I did hug her, she genuinely did not want to kill me. For this reason, she even willingly put an iron collar on herself, allowing me to dominate her with the power of the spell. So, could she be afraid that I would really hug her, so that she couldn't help but betray me at the last minute?
Or, whether I choose to agree to her or reject her, it is actually in her prediction, and both are disillusioned and fearful possibilities to her?
And even so, she couldn't resist asking me that question while giving everything for me, and sending me away before I could respond. Isn't this kind of abandonment of all achievements another kind of failure?
Her last moment timidity resurfaced in my mind.
What she thought in the end was probably only known to her, and I lost the chance to talk to her forever.
At first, Blue Bird was worried that I would use the power of the bite to teleport "its" severed hand into outer space, so after learning of the death of the bite blood, she returned the key to the miniature dimension to me. On the day I returned to Liucheng, he temporarily returned to Liucheng in the form of thunderbolt and asked me to report the matter in detail from beginning to end.
"Impossible, how can you die by biting blood?" After listening to it, Lie Que said with great conviction, "It must be pretending to be dead, she has used this trick I don't know how many times, and she has deceived I don't know how many people, and this time it must be like this!" Eighty percent thought that as long as I did this, I would give up and continue to hunt her down, and she didn't succeed this time. β
He left quickly, as if he wanted to continue to prepare for the hunt and bite the blood.
In the memory of biting blood, there are indeed many experiences of her golden cicada shelling in wonderful ways that ordinary people can't imagine anyway, so even I haven't wondered if she will still be alive somewhere.
However, assuming that she is still alive, it means that she still deceived me, and there will be many elements of deception in her intentions towards me. Do I want her to live hypocritically, or do I want her to die sincerely?
"If the bite of blood appears in front of you again, will you accept her this time?" Bluebird asked me.
She has also shown in the past that she wants me to accept the bite because she thinks that accepting the bite will help me accept myself. At that time, the reason why I refused was because I thought that if I forgave the wicked people who changed their ways, then I would give up the bottom line and forgive myself. No matter how many lives the wicked saved elsewhere after they were reformed, it would be of no use to the dead victims.
Until now, I have believed that this notion is correct. But, at least as an individual, I can't say this kind of truth to the bite of blood.
I've lost the power to say that to her.
Even, I had the idea of going against my reason, hoping that she was really deceiving me, hoping that she was still living in some corner of the world.
And the more I thought about it, the more I felt that I had to face up to the fact that the half-blood demon bit blood, and it was real, complete, and unsuspenseful death. As she herself said, she would only die once, and then she would never be able to feel the world again, and she would never be able to feel her in any way.
I think that for a dead person, no reproach can reach her.
However, if I were to admit it, I would be agreeing with the logic that no matter how heavy the sins committed by a person in his life, as long as he dies, the punishment and atonement for him will be written off. This is also an acknowledgment of Hakuko's sarcasm for me, and I may well want to escape the real punishment by dying.
Once I agree with this logic, do I still have the courage to turn myself into an immortal and accept the end of not being able to die for the sake of the sirens?
Of course I can.
Next, I thought, it must be my turn.
It's finally my turn.
ββ
After losing the dominance of Dawn, the remnants of the dragons on the eve of their leaderlessness finally ushered in destruction. While there should be some demonic sorcerers at large, there was no hope of revival for the organization the night before.
I got the memories of Dawn and investigated the clues about the White Pony.
It is important to mention here that Dawn also set up the "Ignite the Flame" rune in his memory, just like he did to his subordinates in the past, so that the enemy could not investigate his memory. This is a targeted measure he did to prevent me from investigating my memories after killing him. His approach reminds me of fanatics, both of whom are the types who won't give up their "loot" even if they lose.
In fact, his approach is also a bit contradictory. Since I killed him, it means that I have to face his self-destruction; From his point of view, there is no way I could have escaped from his self-detonation, let alone investigate his memories after the fact. It's just that for him, setting up a "Igniting Flame" rune in his memory is just a gesture, so he sets it up casually.
However, this "ignite the flame" rune did not work as well as it should. The reason is very simple, because he killed him once with blood.
Under the assassination of Bite Blood, his brain tissue was completely shredded, and even his soul was shattered to the point that he could no longer be pieced back. Human memories are stored in the brain, and although spirits can also record memories, they are like traces left by writing on the pages of notes. Of course, since Dawn is aimed at my Killing Soul Refining Spirit, he must have made relevant settings for the spirit body.
But with the shattering of his brain and spirits, he was in a state where he couldn't even know why he could remember things. In other words, the undead are originally a kind of being who "can feel self and pain for some reason".
And just like the "access control" in the memory of the evil move that turned into the fog demon failed, the "ignition flame" rune of dawn could not continue to be retained in his memory of this abnormal state. As for the memories of the entities I killed in a certain stronghold in the past, the reason why the "ignite the flame" rune still exists is because it is a false spirit simulated from their history before they became undead.
However, the sirens were still able to extract this garbled memory from the spirit fragments, and organize them into a form that was easy to understand, and drew a lot of nourishment from them.
She has made an optimization of the "Soul Burn Mode", which has increased the efficiency of soul burning to a certain extent, and made it adaptable to high temperatures. In the future, even if the high temperature of the invading spirit body is encountered again, there will be no negative effect that the soul will be forced to burn faster. In addition, although there are some optimizations of edges and corners, in general, it is only a quantitative change, and does not involve qualitative evolution. "Soul Burning Mode" is actually quite a complete move, and there is not so much room for improvement.
However, the "full combustion mode", which has not been used until now, has been further strengthened. The inspiration for this mode was originally derived from the Siren's observation of the way Dawn's flames worked, and now that he has the memory of Dawn, it has made great progress. The previous "Full Burn Mode" was just a design move, and if I had to describe it, it was like a soul burning form that I used in the past when I was fighting Bloodbite and Fanatics in the mirage market, and it was not even a "Soul Burning Mode", and it was a very unstable experimental product, but now it is rapidly growing into a finished product.
In the siren's evaluation, the "complete burning mode" used to put me on a par with the white horse and the column in her heyday, but now even she is a little unsure of how to evaluate it.
I've tried to learn a thing or two from the dawn memory myself. The "Ignite the Flame" rune was the only spell I had learned, and I might have gotten some benefit from itβthe idea was dispelled after I hadn't been learning it long.
I'll only "ignite the flame" rune because that's all I learned; Dawn is only good at the "Ignite the Flame" rune because he is so dedicated to it. He's actually a super genius who has a lot of irrational and unreasonable opinions about runes, and the siren, who is not good at grasping the essence of secret knowledge, has a lot of things that he can't understand even if he digests his memory.
As for his method of manipulating the flames to attack along the mysterious path, I naturally couldn't understand it, but the sirens seemed to be able to understand it. It seemed to be a combination of the curse and the Polluting Power's partial operation mode, so Bite Blood was able to use the humanoid wooden sculpture that shifted the curse to take the attack in his place. The sculpture itself is probably very special, and the flame of dawn is not something that can be deceived casually. And if you want to learn this attack, you must first improve the path of the curse.
Also, I learned the real reason why Hakukoma and Dawn parted ways.
Assuming that Project Dawn reaches its final stage, Dawn will be able to pump "pollution" into the bodies of others at will, turning them into undead people who cannot die. This bizarre power can make Dawn a dictator of terror, and Dawn himself has meant that. He intends to use this as a weapon of domination to launch a terror conquest of the world.
In order to usher in a new world, Hakukoma thinks that this is not unacceptable, so he does not stop Dawn. But in his opinion, this is not an ideal situation, and he still has his own "New World Project", so he is separated from Dawn, and now he does not know where to operate in secret.
And Hakuma's motivation for pursuing the new world, he also shared it with Dawn in private.
Compared with Dawn's ambitions, Hakuko's wishes seem very simple, even very small, and even inappropriate for his title of "dark scientist", which makes people can't help but wonder "Is it necessary to make a big deal against all mankind for such a small matter".
He wanted his wife and daughter to understand him.
