The answer from the old man made the maid look a little surprised... With her master blocking her perception, it is difficult for her to make the most accurate judgment based on the information at this stage.
At this time, Boss Luo seemed to like to see something that could embarrass the maid, and then showed a confused expression... Still he didn't have any plans to let go of the shield. Of course, he himself was the same.
It's like a little game played between couples, looking at each other, and then trying to see who can't help laughing first, or who can't help but blink first.
Maybe it seems a bit sloppy... But after the true sense of immortality endowed by the root behind the club, it probably also has the capital of sloppy.
Quietly looking at the rare thoughtful micro-expression on the face of the maid, Luo Qiu couldn't help but want to take out the camera to capture her appearance at this time, but he was afraid that he would miss this time when he was playing with the camera. A rare moment.
Still... let the eyes do the remembering.
"You... are [ain]'s regeneration consciousness?" This is the question You Ye asked after thinking... She carefully looked at everything about the old man in front of her.
The old man nodded, and then slowly said: "The original me encountered unprecedented horror when I crossed the gap between dimensions... Now I almost lost that memory, but only vaguely remember the huge and terrifying name... [Void Asura]."
"[Void Asura]?" Luo Qiu was thoughtful. He had encountered a creature in the [Void Primordial Demon], and the club's black soul envoy's body reconstruction was basically extracted from this creature. Source] as the core material.
"I don't know anything about [Void Shura] now."
The old man shook his head, "The original me fell into this sub-world. Fortunately, this sub-world also has the legend of [me], so the original me used up the last of my strength to embed [me] into the sub-world. Part of the history of this world disappeared completely afterwards. As for the current me, I was born from this part of history and inherited part of my original knowledge and memory of the newborn consciousness. Of course... Regarding the transaction with you I have also inherited my memories. Thinking about it, this part of the memory is also reserved for [the original me] because I felt the need to write it down, right? But [the current me] is not clear, [ The original me] in the process of leaving it, whether there is any deviation, or concealment."
The old man... [ain] Having said this, Boss Luo has already understood the matter.
The regenerative consciousness of [ain] in front of me, in theory, has many similarities with Nan Xiaonan's, or 24's experience. Even, they are all visitors from the outsider's world.
"You... the original you, are you also exploring the end of the world?" Luo Qiu couldn't help asking curiously when he thought of the ultimate goals of these individuals who broke through the limits of each sub-world.
The old man... The answer given by [ain] today is yes.
…
While figuring out the identity of the old man, the boss and the maid followed his steps and went deep into a mud house at the end of the cave that looked rather simple.
But here before they came, there were other guys who descended from the ancient race that lived in what was once a woman who looked like she was about to give birth, and her man.
Seeing the old man's return, the couple quickly came forward and thanked the old man... After being very grateful, the man helped the woman with a big belly to leave. From the beginning to the end, they showed that they did not see any stranger Tenant-like.
"During this period of time, I played the role of being their mentor." After the couple left, the old man smiled slightly and said, "Taught them production, life, and some little knowledge. Usually, If there is any difficulty, they will come to me."
Luo Qiu said interestingly: "It's like a wise man in the village."
"I just lived longer and watched more things." The old man said casually: "Although the long time and river can't improve the original intelligence of the individual, or even the improvement is quite small, but only Knowledge can be accumulated all the time and is endless.”
"Aren't you curious about me?" Luo Qiu asked abruptly.
Ever since he recognized the identity of the maid lady, [ain] now has no tendency to inquire about the other person Luo Qiu, which actually makes Luo Qiu more interested.
The other party just smiled slightly and said: "It's not time to be curious... By the way, I plan to entertain you two, but you need to come here thoroughly [the past], otherwise I think we'll just have to talk."
In fact, it's as if there is a screen... Luo Qiu and the maid are always in front of the screen, and [the past] is the content on the screen [ain] is the body of the screen.
The [past] here is actually a world in the consciousness constructed by [ain]. Because it is a fictional relationship, it is completely different from the life in the corpse pit described in the animal skin diary.
The trajectories of the [farm] escapees who once lived in the corpse pit are completely different from their life trajectories in this [screen].
Without the slightest hesitation, Luo Qiu raised the maid's hand, and then slowly took a step forward. This step was like breaking through an invisible membrane. He and the maid had entered the world of the [screen].
There is no change at all... It's just that in this [past], he and the maid lady already existed.
Seems to have felt this existence, and now [ain] began to boil water and make tea slowly in the mud hut, "Taste these... According to the memory of [the original me] I inherited, this is from A tea baked from the leaves of a rare plant in a world where the land is almost covered by the ocean. Of course, it doesn’t exist, but this is just a world of consciousness... so the taste should be fine.”
Just as [ain] started making tea, the maid flicked her finger slightly, and a black flame transformed into a few words in front of Boss Luo's eyes.
[Soul], [Power].
Luo Qiu immediately understood the hint from the maid that "strength" is what was traded by the former "ain", and "soul" was what the former "ain" paid for.
But Luo Qiu had never seen [ain]'s name among the customer ledgers that had not yet arrived. Fan, or occasionally flipping through a few pages at will when I think of it.
The former [ain] has obviously been completed, whether it is the former [ain] or the club, the transaction between the two parties has been completed. When the former [ain] fell into this sub-world due to an accident and finally died, Its soul has been automatically entered into the account through the contract... This was probably before Luo Qiu accepted the club.
As for the current [ain], and the [ain] that completed the transaction, it can be said that they are two different conscious individuals. The current old man, even though he also has the name of [ain], even inherited a lot of [ain] ]’s memory, but it’s more like an incomplete copy in essence.
Or... maybe it was [ain] that was once created for the self that is about to dissipate at the end, another form of continuation... a conscious body that has consciousness but no soul, but can think independently.
Luo Qiu is more inclined to regard today's [ain] as a program that has the same thinking mode as the previous [ain], some memories, and then performs complex calculations under these established settings... Strictly speaking, today's [ain] [ain] is just a fake.
He couldn't help but think of the "soul project" that the maid once mentioned, which was born in a sub-world that had already been shattered.
…
After tasting the tea from another sub-world, Luo Qiu glanced at the little wraith hiding behind [ain], the little wraith was just looking at each other timidly.
Boss Luo smiled slightly, "By the way, old man, you just said that there seems to be some differences between you and [Lost Fang]... You can't control [Lost Fang] now, right?"
Now [ain] was silent for a while... as if he was thinking, judging whether to disclose his information, he only heard him talking to himself: "According to the memory I have inherited, even if you don't explain anything, you seem to be It also has the ability to be almost omniscient... It is not advisable to conceal it."
In this way, Luo Qiu feels that the current [ain] is just a thinking mode, part of the memory, and even the autonomous calculation program of the emotion of the past [ain].
Finally, the old man nodded, and said slowly: "[The Lost Fang] is the name given by the vampires who lived on it. In fact, it is just after [the original me] died, and there is no Strictly speaking, although I inherited the name of [ain], I am actually more like its offspring. Originally, I also had the control over [Lost Fangs], but these days, what I have been able to The part of control has begun to weaken."
Luo Qiu thought for a while and said, "Because of the thirteen clans that live on this body?"
The old man nodded: "I said that there are some legends about [ain] in this world... In fact, there are many legends about [ain], not necessarily the ancestors that the thirteen clans in this world think... [Once I] In fact, I am more willing to admit that I am the first child of Adam and Eve, the sinner who was exiled and could not be killed by others."
Shaking his head, he seemed reluctant to mention this part, "Because in this world [ain] is the reason why vampires are always there, when [the original me] embeds the existence of [ain], its body is also automatically affected by the will of the world. Some transformations have taken place due to the rules of the world... or, in other words, it has become a form of expression that conforms to the history of this world. Well... We, generally speaking, call this transformation "the instability of the world."
"us?"
He nodded, "It's just some fellows from different worlds that I met on the road of exploration and researched in their spare time. At first it was proposed by a guy named [Archimedes], and then gradually It spread... I heard that later he joined a relatively large exploration group, which seems to be called [Transcendence], right?"
Shaking his head, the old man said indifferently: "Actually, [the former me] had never met him. Although [the former me] had received an invitation from this group, he did not join in the end... In fact, now From my point of view, maybe [the original me] should join a group, because maybe in this way, when the [former me] encounters that great terror, there will be no danger of falling."
"Comparatively, you may not appear." Luo Qiu said softly, "He exists, but you will not exist... Would you be willing?"
The old man said indifferently: "I heard that you are very good at making each other fall into difficult choices... It seems to be true."
"Sorry, I will pay attention." Luo Qiu said apologetically.
Today's [ain] shook his head, didn't mind, but picked up the previous topic, "... Among the thirteen clans, there is a ritual called [Holy Blood]. The consciousness of the lost fang] is because they believe that the ancestor did not die, but was just asleep... because the [lost fang] is alive, at least, the body is still active."
"They succeeded." Luo Qiu said abruptly.
The old man sighed: "Let's put it this way... Over the years, the endless blood injected into the [Lost Fang] through the [Holy Blood] consciousness really contains too many distracting thoughts. These distracting thoughts come from Thirteen The desires and hopes of the vampires of the clan, as well as the hatred and despair of being dedicated... In the end, all the distracting thoughts merged into a new consciousness, which not only shares the remnants of the "original me" like me, but even because of It was created by the original vampires of this world, and it is even more in line with the legendary [ain] form of this world. Well, counting the time, the next [Holy Blood] ceremony of the Thirteen Clans is almost here again Right? To be honest, if this ritual happens a few more times, maybe I will be swallowed by it too... After all, it is closer to the [unstable state] of this world than me."
"Another newborn consciousness?"
The old man smiled wryly and said: "It is sleeping... It is also because of its sleeping time that I can control the body of the [Lost Fang] a little bit... probably because it is too close to the legend of this world, it is also like a vampire, I like to sleep, to integrate those distracting thoughts in myself through deep sleep, to make myself more pure... Basically, as long as I don't show it to fight for the [Lost Fang], but just move my body a little bit , it will ignore me. After all...compared to it, I am too weak."
"Are you going to keep going like this until the end, making it even stronger and devouring you?" Boss Luo asked softly with a slight smile.
[ain] just smiled wryly, "I didn't pay attention at all, didn't you... you still gave me a choice."
