Chapter 23: The Art of Symbiosis
"If, I mean, if I'm no longer who I was, would you still help me find energy?" Atsha said to me absentmindedly.
"How could you not be you anymore?" I quipped.
"Answer me!" Ah Cha suddenly became stern, and at that moment, I saw Ah Cha's expression hiding under the face of Lin Ziye.
Although it was really unbearable for her to laugh when she was strict, I still felt the 'strict zhòng' nature of the situation.
"No matter what you become, or if you become someone else, I will still help you find energy, after all, we are not children anymore, everything has to be the big picture!" I replied truthfully.
"Oh, then I'm relieved!" Ah Cha's eyes were a little uncertain, but it seemed like a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground.
At that time, I only said that she was testing whether I was determined to help her enough, and that answer was also a casual answer, but it was only later that I realized that I had made a big mistake!
Ah cha is really not just Ah Cha.
……
For three whole days, I haven't seen Ah Cha for three days.
Since the day of visiting Lin Ziye and coming back from the two of them, more than a week has passed, I haven't seen her for three days, like usual, at most, she will come to me for nothing, chat with me until they quarrel, and then I was beaten by her, and a meeting is over.
During this time, I went to Ah Cha's residence to look for her, but the door was closed, and the dust on the doorknob let me know that she hadn't lived here for a long time, and I couldn't help but be a little disappointed.
I regret why I didn't give Ah Cha a mobile phone in the first place, so that it is convenient to contact her at any time, I may have thought at the time, anyway, Ah Cha is a monster, it is very convenient to come and go, it is easy to find her or something, so I naturally did not expect that Ah Cha would be lost.
Although she is still the youngest among the youkai, she is not an intellectually retarded person after all, so how could she get lost? Where can she go? If she didn't go anywhere in the past, she would go with me!
It's really anxious, I threw away the pen, and I didn't let people study!
Just when I was worried, Ah Cha came back, but I always felt that she was a little different from before, and there seemed to be a sense of distance between her and me, like a friend who hadn't seen her for a long time, and the initial embarrassment when greeting her.
I thought, since that's the case, then it will be fine after a while, and nothing happened to her anyway!
In fact, on the contrary, after the pleasantries, she ...... How to put it, it feels like I'm lying in the hospital in the forest, not Ah Cha hiding behind the skin of the forest.
I know Ah Cha's character, after all, we have been together for a long time, even if there is a gap between the hearts, but in terms of appearance, it is already familiar to the inside, who can not have a secret, I know this, because I also have secrets, and I don't necessarily tell them all to my friends, even if they are very familiar.
But Ah Cha, who came back this time, chatted with me very unnaturally, it seemed that the whole body was secret, and the days we talked about were all innocuous digressions, and even the problem of loving my head was not reflected in her at all.
No, she's not Ah Cha! So who is she?
Then I suddenly remembered what Ah Cha said to me that day, "If, I mean, if I am no longer the same me, will you still help me find energy?"
Could it be that the Khat is no longer the same Khat anymore? No, to be precise, it is no longer the original Khat?!
First of all, I analyzed, the person in front of me is indeed Ah Cha, according to what Ah Cha said to me, it can be concluded that this should be another Ah Cha, but in essence it is still Ah Cha.
In addition, Ah Cha asked me, even if it was not the original Ah Cha, to help her find energy, and I promised to do so, even if it was casually said, I would fulfill my promise.
It's just that now I don't know what happened to Ah Cha, well, the first task now is to stabilize her first, and wait until I slowly ponder this matter and draw conclusions.
"Ah Cha!" I cried out as I patted her on the shoulder.
"Huh?" Ah Cha tilted her head and looked at me suspiciously.
"No matter what happens, no matter what becomes of you, I will still help you find energy!" I said for no reason, but it was enough to show my determination and test the situation of Ah Cha.
"It's good to know!" said Atcha with a smile.
What's the situation, this is too different from the lady's Ah Cha just now, right?!
This kind of split personality can make people mistakenly think that Ah Cha has two thoughts active in his head, and when the two thoughts switch to each other, it is an unclear and ambiguous state, in short, Ah Cha does not know the other self in his head.
But as if she knew in advance that this was going to happen, she informed me of the conclusion that I would no longer be me.
So, is it Ah Cha who is in charge of this body now? Then I should ask her what happened to her.
"Ah Cha, have you done anything lately?" I mean, what made you the way you are.
"Ah......h
"What's the matter, Ah Cha, is it amnesia? Don't rush, take your time!" I frowned, what was the situation!
I caressed the back of the tea, and immediately, the tea eased a lot and was no longer so painful.
"No, I didn't have amnesia, I just saved Lin Ziye!" Ah Cha said to me slowly.
Why, did Lin Ziye get sick so soon? But even so, what does saving Lin Ziye have to do with Ah Cha itself? Could it be ......
"As far as I know, Lin Ziye's illness can be described as a terminal illness, and she herself said that you don't need to bother the doctor, how can you have a cure for her?" I wondered.
Indeed, if there is no way for humans to cure the disease, there is nothing impossible to put it on the demon, but the key is that Ah Cha is a little demon, what kind of healing technique does she know? !
So I guessed that she might have used some kind of hexery, and that the only way to save Lin Ziye was this kind of method.
"I used Lin Ziye's body as a medium, and my blood as a guide, introduced demon blood into Lin Ziye's body, and launched the technique of symbiosis, and then I fainted......" Ah Cha carefully recalled the previous details and said to me.
"Ahh
Hey, Ah Cha sighed and continued.
"Actually, in terms of Lin Ziye's illness, she has no cure, but I have a way to let her continue to live, but I can only live alone, that is, if I revive her, I will have to die, but I still have the task given to me by the New Four-Dimensional Demon Realm Wood Spirit Villa, and I can't die now, but I can't watch Lin Ziye die in front of me, so I thought of this method of symbiosis......" Lin Ziye paused for a moment and continued.
"Now in front of you is Ah Cha, and Lin Ziye, who is both a demon and a human. ”
"Huh?" I'm a little confused, I have to think about this matter carefully, and I can understand such a profound truth only after I have clear thoughts.
We talked a lot afterwards......
I know about the characteristics of symbiosis, from the words of Acha, a series of abnormal behaviors of Acha can be explained, I call their way of coexistence in this way 'symbiosis', according to my reasoning, since two people are one person, to unify the thinking of the two, there must be a transition period, then, the thinking before the transition period should be in three states.
First, it is in the mode of archa, second, it is in the mode of forest midnight, and third, it is in between, which is a mixture of the unstable dìng of both kat and forest night. After the transition period has passed, the two will become one person, and the thinking will become a mixed state of stability.
The state when we first met should be the third, and then switched to the state of Ah Cha, when it will switch to the state of Lin Ziye, I don't know, however, this should also be related to his own will, Ah Cha is a demon, and his own consciousness is very strong, so now Lin Ziye will definitely not be able to come out.
However, the next life is going to be more complicated, it's not just me and a monster, the key is that the monster is not simple now, that's the point!
