Chapter 21: Please, another me
"This is ......"
In the quiet space of the medical room, Zhao Yingkong quietly stared at everything around him. Looking around, every detail seemed unusually familiar to her, like an old friend who had visited many times. Although Zhao Yingkong did not have a fragment of being here in person in her memory, she had a strange feeling in her heart, as if everything was inexplicably connected with her.
Zhao Yingkong's eyes revealed a hint of confusion and inquiry, and her gaze slowly wandered around the medical room, trying to find answers in this familiar strangeness. This intuitive perception of the spatial environment made the Assassin Maiden feel both confused and curious, and she knew that behind this familiarity there might be an untouched past, or some key clue waiting to be unraveled.
"It seems that the other you didn't leave this memory to you...... But it's normal, and if it weren't, you wouldn't be ignorant of it. β
Seeing Zhao Yingkong slightly confused trying to find the past fragments in the infirmary, he sighed instantly: "It was here that I told her the truth that it was actually 'Wu', and gave her an operation." β
ββ¦β¦ What surgery? β
"You must have discovered the hidden power in your body lately, right?"
Listening to the question of the moment, Zhao Ying's mind moved, and he suddenly remembered the black rune array that appeared on his skin during the last battle with Yuri...... And according to the picture in his memory, it is a certain manifestation of the light of his own mind, annihilation.
It stands to reason that no one in the world has exactly the same light in their hearts. And the master personality Zhao Yingkong had completely replenished Zhao Yingkong's spiritual light before leaving with Zhao Yukong in Resident Evil II. Therefore, no matter what, Zhao Yingkong's spiritual light should never be "annihilated" that can cancel out the rest of the energy, or even other spiritual lights......
"Looks like you're more or less aware of it."
Seeing Zhao Yingkong's expression, he didn't sell it for a moment, and directly told the truth: "That is another legacy you left you, the remaining part of her spiritual light." β
"It was in this medical room that I operated on her, using the medical knowledge of the human city to retain the light of her mind and imprint it on her body...... In this way, even when she is gone forever, this part of her spiritual light will remain in her body and become a power that you can wield. β
ββ¦β¦ Why did she do this? β
Zhao Yingkong can understand the other way of himself, but the doubts in his heart are like shadows. In her eyes, the traces left by herself are too deep and too many, so that the fact that she can stand here now is already a gift from another self...... When she learned that there was another unknown gift waiting for her to unwrap, it made Zhao Yingkong's sense of confusion even stronger.
"I'm just an executor, not a keeper of secrets."
Shaking her head in an instant, her right hand touched the air, and the core of Nether appeared, and then she put it on the table, and without any movement, a picture was automatically reflected on the wall, and inside it was another Zhao Yingkong lying on the hospital bed.
"This is a memory she left you, preserved in my Nether Core...... I haven't looked at it before, and as for the answers you want, they should be in this image. β
With that, he exited the medical room in an instant, leaving all this space to Zhao Yingkong, who was attracted by that memory.
β¦β¦
"The other me, if you touch the threshold of the fourth order, then you should come here and try to find answers."
In the picture, lying on the bed, another Zhao Yingkong, who has the same face as Zhao Yingkong, smiles softly, but this expression rarely appears on Zhao Yingkong's face: "First of all, I have to apologize to you, because in fact, my choice is an irresponsible performance." β
"You should understand that too, right? Death means the end of everything, but it often takes more courage to survive. I chose to die with my brother of the Demon Team, essentially throwing what I couldn't accomplish to you......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yingkong grinned again and said, "However, you will forgive me, right?" After all, we're all alone. β
Hearing this, Zhao Yingkong, who was looking at the picture in the void, nodded subconsciously, and the other Zhao Yingkong seemed to have predicted her actions in advance, and said with a brighter smile: "I knew you would agree, thank you, another me...... So next, I'm going to talk. β
The other Zhao Yingkong closed her eyes, and when she opened her eyes again, her face was already extremely serious, and this kind of expression Zhao Yingkong was very familiar, it was the posture of the assassins of the assassin family during the mission: "First of all, the body of Brother Empty is still alive, and he who entered the main god space one step ahead of us should be in the East American team." β
"The East American team is a weak reincarnation team, if there is a stronger replica Zheng Zha on the head of the demon team's empty brother, so that he will not fall into the killing, then the East American team's empty brother has no one to control, he will only wantonly indulge his killing intent, and the state of the demon will inevitably be deeper than the demon team's empty brother, so ......"
Maybe it's the relationship of the same person, Zhao Yingkong already knew in advance what the other self was about to say. Sure enough, another Zhao Yingkong in the picture took a deep breath, and finally said the sentence: "Please kill Brother Jiukong for me, so that he can be freed from the demons in his heart." β
"And my body, and the remaining light of my mind, should be my advance payment."
- Silence.
ββWhether it is Zhao Yingkong in the medical room or another Zhao Yingkong in the picture, they are all silent.
"I'm sorry, I know it's a difficult request, but it's something we have to do, and we can't give it to anyone else."
After a few tens of seconds of silence, the other Zhao Yingkong finally spoke again, revealing the familiar smile again, but this smile looked extremely heartbroken: "Finally, it is my personal request, Sakuraku, if you can defeat my brother and send him free, then please return to the real world and destroy the entire Assassin family." Let us, the birthers of the 'empty' plan, be the final product of the ambitions of the elders......"
"Please, the other meβ"
"Please, cut off this sad reincarnation." (End of chapter)
