Chapter 122—The Gift of the Ancestors (11)

"Master Luo, I suggest you do a delicate and comprehensive examination of the little girl. She is too young, and at such an innocent age, it is easy to be deceived. Sect Leader Zhao said, his nice accent lacked a lot of tone, as if he had given up being a star and really treated them as his own.

Luo Qi hesitated for a moment, Sect Leader Zhao made a very reasonable suggestion and request, in this era, the Mind Mage did this, to maintain mental health.

But Roach didn't have any spare energy to devote to study therapy, and he was now skipping school. He doesn't do any elaborate thorough inspection

"In such an ancient hall," Sect Leader Zhao continued, "there are often some ghosts wandering, most of them are fragments of ancient consciousness, a bit like what humans call a virus. However, from a human perspective, viruses are parasitic in human bodies and are combined with human genetic fragments. The biggest trouble for us is that the fragments of consciousness will merge with the normal consciousness and make up for the missing parts of ourselves from the consciousness of the living. ”

Luo Qi pondered some other things, and Du Zhengyi suddenly said, "Don't you think it's against your teachings that you care so much about human beings?" ”

"That's how deeply the mainstream society of mages misunderstands us. What the Lotus Burners object to is that the mages deviate from the way of life of our ancestors, and we are not against humans, they have their own social lives. We're not anti-mages, and bloodlust doesn't make us happy, and watching humans suffer doesn't make us happy. Ah, in that case, I've explained it a few times today, but even a few more explanations are nothing, and the opportunity to explain is precious in itself. Sect Leader Zhao said leisurely, his gaze returning to the only human being.

Guan Xinyue didn't hide the boredom on her face, coldly treated Sect Leader Zhao's concern for her, and made a decision for Luo Qi straightforwardly, "I refuse." Since we each have our own way of life, then my mind is my complete privacy, no one has the right to invade my mind, this is my own space. Even if it's Roach, I refuse. ”

"Don't worry, I won't probe your mind without your permission." Roach said sincerely.

Guan Xinyue looked at Luo Qi with a complicated expression, and turned her head suddenly.

Sect Leader Zhao wanted to persuade again, but Zhou Ruisi interjected abruptly, "Then can I ask a question?" ”

He received a kind nod from Sect Leader Zhao, and immediately asked, "Is there any reason why the fragments of consciousness must find a host?" Is it desire? Is it the crippled consciousness that yearns for completeness? ”

Sect Leader Zhao looked at Clownfish, the expert he relied on the most in this regard, and the latter said gloomily, "Most of them are not, unless they are malicious fragments, and the purpose of existence is parasitism. ”

"That'...... So what's the case with the majority? I mean, if it's a malicious initiative, it seems better to understand. Zhou Ruisi said nervously. The mage who couldn't see clearly made him tremble, but he couldn't control his curiosity.

The clownfish's blurred face turned around, as if something in a nightmare was looking at him, but he had no eyes, and the peep that didn't even exist made Zhou Ruisi creepy. It occurred to him that this blur was an Archmage of Mind, his peep just didn't need eyes, and he might flip through the pages of himself as if he were reading a Lego manual.

The clownfish spoke at this moment, "Don't worry, a simple-minded little person like you is at most an IKEA manual, only one page." ”

Zhou Ruisi was so frightened that a faint sound came out of his throat.

The clownfish seemed to let out a malicious laugh, but continued, "There is no subjective malice fragment of consciousness, of course, it is randomly combined with other consciousness by chance. Just like a virus, it randomly infects living beings, embedding its own genetic fragments into the genetic sequence of the organism. ”

Luo Qi really admired Zhou Ruisi a little, he felt that Zhou Ruisi was about to faint, but he couldn't suppress his own curiosity, and continued to ask the clownfish for advice while trembling. "That'...... Will there be a scramble for self? For example, if A is embedded in a part of B's consciousness, if B's personality is very distinct, although there is no self, but the self-characteristics are all explicit, then A is A or B? Or is it AB biased B? For example, if A is born with a personality that can do anything, is not easily angry, and has no ambitions, the kind of person who tears up the calendar day by day. And B is a part of a person's consciousness, irritable, and strong, although this consciousness has no memory, and there is no self-knowledge, but once combined with A's complete consciousness, A adds these characteristics, and A's impulsive character and strong desire will change A's judgment of the world, so after a long time, Is A A, or is it another B? ”

Luo Qi was unconsciously attracted by this passage, and the clownfish did not continue to tease and intimidate Zhou Ruisi, but was silent for a moment before speaking, "Then there will be a fight." ”

"The scramble between A and B?" Zhou Ruisi asked.

"Maybe it's a scramble between A and AB." Clownfish said. "No whole self can easily disappear, even the weakest."

"What if the full A and the full B are in the same body?" Zhou Ruisi asked again, he has endless academic pursuits, and can even help him overcome his fear of demons.

"You mean, one person is going to snatch another person's body, right?" Clownfish said, "I only have my own opinion here, and I think A will reappear in time." This person may not remember who A is, and he may not have a physical memory of the past, but his way of thinking, his temperament, will become more and more like A day by day. B, who has encroached on other people's bodies, will gradually be absorbed, and he may not find himself becoming AB. ”

"Mao ...... Creeps. Zhou Ruisi said.

Luo Qi tilted his head to look at him, "It's creepy, it's your motto to die at night, right?" ”

Zhou Ruisi waved his hand again and again, unable to tell whether he didn't dare to do it or what he meant. Even Sect Leader Zhao couldn't help but smile. After showing his affinity, he duly ended the academic discussion, "Then back to our question, I respect the little girl's opinion, but if possible, I still stick to my suggestion." I know a spell to test the consciousness of the ancient times, and Rocky is the little girl's trusted companion, so let Roach try it if you can. ”

Luo Qi was indeed taken aback, grinned and asked, "Then I must be a unique good baby today, Boss Zhao has candy to give me to eat?" ”
