Tan Yan looked up into the air, and gradually, he seemed to see the outline of the evil consciousness, just a ball of energy, a consciousness, floating in the air.
It doesn't even have a shape. When you can see it, it probably looks like a ball of colored gas.
Is this a powerful existence
"Abandoning your original body to gain immortality, and then constantly taking over other people's consciousness and bodies..." Tan Yan's eyes gradually became compassionate, "Do you still remember who you were originally?"
"It's been too long, I don't have any impression of it." The evil consciousness said, "And there's no need to remember it, just like humans don't remember things that happened when they were weak and young. My life span is very long, and my memories of being a human are like those of my childhood, I have forgotten them."
"Is it because I have lived too long and forgotten, or is it because I have absorbed too much consciousness and lost my original heart?" asked Tan Yan.
The evil consciousness said disdainfully: "Is there any point in discussing this?"
He circled around Tan Yan and said, "I have never carefully observed your current body. Now it seems that this body is almost useless. Why do you want to be trapped in such a body that is already at the end of its strength when you are so powerful?"
Tan Yan looked at him and said, "That's because I'm already 59 years old. It's normal for a person's body functions to deteriorate when he reaches 59. I'm an ordinary person, and this is fine. I don't think it would be better to forget who I am after living for thousands or tens of thousands of years."
"Bullshit!" the evil consciousness said, "You are so powerful, so powerful that when I watch from afar, all the particles in my consciousness will tremble and jump for joy. You are now like a nuclear bomb stuffed into a broken jar. Sooner or later, this broken jar will be unable to contain you, and your consciousness will be destroyed along with your body. Since you insist on being trapped in this body, you might as well let me have it!"
The evil consciousness seemed to know that he could not get anything good in this world, so he made a desperate move and pounced on Tan Yan.
He needed blood as a medium to enter the human body, and the external audio equipment flew up and hit Tan Yan.
Tan Yan tilted his head slightly, and the audio equipment cut a small cut on his face.
Liang Xian did not move, he knew that if Tan Yan wanted to stop it, he could dodge the attack. The reason why Tan Yan took off his protective suit was to lead the evil consciousness into his body.
Even if there is an external audio that forces the sound, the evil consciousness cannot say what they want to know, so this method is the only one they can use.
Tan Yan is betting that his consciousness can defeat the evil consciousness. Liang Xian firmly believes in this, and the evil consciousness also wants to use this method to escape from this world.
Both sides have only this one choice, no other option but to fight to the death.
After the evil consciousness entered his body, Tan Yan closed his eyes and his body trembled slightly.
He was fighting with the consciousness in his mind. Liang Xian walked over and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
If Tan Yan was awake, he would definitely tell him not to get close to him, right? And he would also tell Liang Xian that if he failed to defeat the evil consciousness, he should kill him while the evil consciousness was weak.
But now, Tan Yan is weak. Liang Xian never thought that Tan Yan might lose to the evil consciousness. He is not afraid of Tan Yan now.
Holding Tan Yan in his arms, Liang Xian let him lie flat on the clean and warm floor of the control room. He knelt and let Tan Yan rest his head on his thighs.
The screen of Tianshen No. 1 flashed pink light, and he said, "I can feel through the protective suit that the dopamine level in your body is very high. Is it love?"
"Yes," Liang Xian put his hand on Tan Yan's forehead, "I love this man deeply, and I want to relax his stiff shoulders, and let this man who has always shouldered too much responsibility experience that there are other joys in the world.
I respect him, admire him, adore him, and feel sorry for him.
Unfortunately, my power was too weak to make him happy, and my feelings became an even heavier burden for him, making him bear another promise for nothing."
Liang Xian's eyes were somewhat sad: "I don't know how to love him better, I can only obey him and accompany him."
Even death cannot be willful, because their lives do not belong to themselves.
Tan Yan fell into a deep sleep. The evil consciousness knew that its consciousness could not defeat Tan Yan, so it thought of a way to confuse him.
Tan Yan's will is too firm. If you want to shake his determination, you must make Tan Yan remember his identity. When the two memories and two consciousnesses fight, the evil consciousness can take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.
Tan Yan had a dream. He dreamed that he was once very free but also very confused, traveling back and forth between countless worlds.
He seems to be born with such powerful strength, born in a higher universe, with an extremely strong consciousness, able to travel through different universes.
The evil consciousness once said that space travelers in his universe could move freely in the universe. In fact, this is not true. They also need coordinates.
It’s just that people in the physical universe are born with strong consciousness, and they enter different worlds all the year round. They have walked many roads and thus have many coordinates.
He remembered that his time at that time was meaningless. He traveled aimlessly between countless worlds. When he felt tired, he lived in one world for a while and then went to the next world.
A long life does not make people feel fulfilled. When time becomes meaningless, life will become very empty.
It seemed that he was not called Tan Yan at that time, but it didn't make sense to call him what he was called specifically because neither of them was his real name.
Sometimes he would control his consciousness and enter the bodies of creatures such as insects, but they were too weak to withstand such a powerful consciousness. Before the poor insect could see the world from its perspective, it would explode and die.
Experiencing life in countless universes is fun at first, but after a while, it gets tiring.
Looking at people busy with their mediocrity in life is like watching a group of ants, it is incomprehensible.
He did not use someone else's body. People in the physical world have strong bodies and can live for a long time.
But tangible things will always come to an end. Even the universe will perish, let alone the physical body.
He felt that his body had reached its end and it was time to change to another one.
But it was very boring. He felt that it didn't matter even if he died along with his body, because life was meaningless anyway.
At this juncture, a man appeared in front of him. He was dying, but still struggling on the ground. His hard struggle for survival attracted his attention.
This is a world full of monsters. Humans are very weak in this world and will become food for monsters.
The young man had one leg and one arm bitten off by the monster. He was crawling on the ground. The monster was very smart and chased him like a toy. When it caught up with him, it would bite him and then let him go. When it saw that the man was crawling away, it would bite him again.
The space traveler watched coldly, wondering why this person insisted on living. Most creatures would give up hope in this situation. How painful it is to live in such humiliation, and death is actually a relief.
But he used clothes to tie up the bleeding wounds on his thighs and arms, and after simply stopping the bleeding, he struggled to escape with the remaining body. He clearly only had one breath left, but he still wanted to live on.
The space traveler was very surprised and helped him get rid of the monster and gave him some water.
The young man thanked the space traveler, then turned around and ate the monster's meat to replenish his strength.
The monster's meat is poisonous and not suitable for fragile humans to eat. After he ate the meat, his face turned purple, his nose bled, and he looked very uncomfortable.
After crawling two steps, he cried when he realized he couldn't crawl home.
The person who didn't cry when the monster was chasing him, lay on the ground, pounded the ground with his fists, and cried like a loser.
"Why are you crying?" The space traveler realized that he didn't understand his tears, so he asked, "Is it because you are going to die?"
"No," the young man saw that the space traveler was still following him, so he wiped his tears vigorously, his face was covered with blood from his nose, "A real man bleeds but does not cry. I am not afraid of death."
"Then what are you afraid of?" the space traveler asked, "You are going to die soon, even if you don't eat the monster's meat."
When the space traveler found this man, he was already disabled. With such injuries, without timely treatment, it would be impossible for him to survive. The young man was just barely hanging on.
The young man cried again: "I grew up with the care of many people. After finally joining the army and getting a job, I'm going to die on my first day at work. I feel so worthless and sorry for everyone's care for me. It doesn't matter if I die, I don't want to die so miserably. If I can die fighting for the people, I will die gloriously, but now... it doesn't make any sense!"
Meaning... These are two words that space travelers have never been able to understand.
"So what makes sense?" he asked.
"The country raised me, and I worked hard, became a solid nail, and contributed my strength to the country until retirement." The young man cried, "But I came here inexplicably, and I can't even die in my own world."
The space traveler didn't know what he was thinking at that time. He looked at the body whose vitality was gradually draining away and suddenly said, "I can't save you, but I can keep you alive."
"How can I survive?" The young man became weaker and weaker. His ears began to bleed and he could no longer cry.
"I will absorb your consciousness and your memories, use my power to repair this not-yet-dead body, take you back to your original world, and live on with your identity." The space traveler replied.
"Are you going to eat me?" The young man didn't understand what he meant. "Are you going to use my face to do bad things?"
"No," the space traveler wanted to explain patiently, but the body in front of him could not hold on for much longer. Death would be meaningless. No matter how strong he was, he could not use his consciousness to control a corpse to stay alive. "I will live for you, contribute to the country for you, and realize your so-called meaning for you."
"Why?"
"No reason, I just suddenly became interested in meaning. You can refuse."
If you refuse, just die.
"I agree," the young man said, "You... you can use my body to do more good things for Ping County. I grew up eating at many people's homes, and many people have taken care of me. I can't repay them in a day or two."
"Okay, you don't need to say more," the space traveler said, "I will absorb your consciousness and read your memory. I will naturally know what you need."
"Okay..." The young man hesitated, "One more thing..."
"What's up?"
"Can I die in my world? I don't want to die here." said the young man.
"Can."
The space traveler picked up the young man's body, used his powerful strength to find a way to the young man's world, and brought him back to the real world.
He has never been to this world, but the young man is a native of this world, and everything about him is connected to this world. As long as he is there and as long as the longing is there, space travelers can find the young man's world.
The young man returned to the real world. He lay on the deserted street, looked at the familiar environment, and slowly closed his eyes.
The space traveler picked him up. This body did not have much vitality left. Even with his strength, it would not last for a few years before breaking down, unless he used all his strength to awaken the vitality of the body.
But if he did so, his consciousness would be weakened a lot, and the space traveler felt that the gain was not worth it.
"Thank you..." the young man said weakly. He could no longer remember what the space traveler said about using his body. "After I die, please bury me in the cemetery in the south. My name is..."
He was dying, and the space traveler didn't want to hear any more of his nonsense. Besides, he still needed to use this body, so he couldn't just bury it.
The consciousness left the body and entered this broken body. The young man's consciousness that refused to dissipate was integrated into the space traveler's body. The strong desire to survive gave the space traveler a different experience.
The consciousness of nothingness was injected with fresh blood that had never been seen before, and life seemed to have meaning.
This should be a good thing, to devote oneself seriously to one's life.
The space traveler used his power to heal his body, awakened the vitality of this body, and then buried his original body in the southern cemetery that the young man mentioned.
He did not erect a monument, and his long life made even space travelers forget his name.
It takes some time to integrate the new consciousness, and the space traveler is already very tired from repairing his body. He dragged his tired body to the little nest in his memory, curled up and fell asleep.
An ordinary person's memory and the space traveler's consciousness gradually merged together in a dream. Perhaps the memory was too strong, or perhaps the space traveler was too boring.
When the space traveler woke up, he forgot the long but meaningless years he had spent. He only remembered that his name was Tan Yan and he was an ordinary policeman in Ping County.
The author has something to say: The new Tan Yan should be both the original Tan Yan and a space traveler.
A person whose life is meaningless and a person who wants to live but has to die, both become a completely new person.
Therefore, Liang Xian and Tan Yan being together is equivalent to a threesome.
This chapter... is different from what I imagined when I set it up. I thought it should be sadder...
Forget it, Old Tan has been tortured enough, please stop torturing him, that’s all.
