Chapter 1343 Counterfeit
The answer from the old man made the maid look slightly surprised... With her perception blocked by her master, it was difficult for her to make the most accurate judgment based on the current intelligence.
Boss Luo seemed to like seeing someone appear who could embarrass the maid lady, and then showed a confused expression...still had no intention of releasing the shield - of course, he himself was the same.
It's like a little game played between lovers, looking at each other, and then competing to see who can't help laughing first, or who can't help blinking first.
It may seem a bit wasteful... but after the true immortality given by the root behind the club, it probably has the capital to be wasteful.
Quietly looking at the rare thoughtful micro-expression on the maid's face, Luo Qiu couldn't help but want to take out his camera to capture her appearance at this moment, but he was afraid that he would miss this moment while playing with the camera. A rare moment.
Or... let the eyes remember.
"Are you... the regenerated consciousness of [Cain]?" This is the question Youye asked after thinking... She carefully looked at everything about the old man in front of her.
The old man nodded, and then said slowly: "The original me encountered unprecedented horror when I traveled through the gap between dimensions... Now, I have almost lost that memory, and I can only vaguely remember the huge and terrifying name. ...[Void Shura]"
"[Void Shura]?" Luo Qiu thought thoughtfully - he had encountered a creature among the [Void Demon], and the club's black soul envoy's body reconstruction was basically extracted from this creature. Source of Alien Body] as the core material.
"I know nothing 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 my last strength to embed [me] into Part of the history of this world, and then completely disappeared. As for the current me, I was born from this part of history, and inherited part of my original knowledge and memory. New consciousness. Of course...the memory of the transaction with you has also been inherited. I think this part of the memory was specially kept because [the original me] felt the need to remember it. Right? But [the current me] doesn’t know whether [the original me] deviated or concealed something in the process of leaving it.”
The old man... [Cain] has already said this, and Boss Luo already understands what is going on.
The regenerated consciousness of the [Cain] in front of him is theoretically similar to that of Nan Xiaonan or 24 - even, they are both visitors to the outsider world.
"You...the original you are also exploring the end of the world." Luo Qiu thought of the ultimate goal of these individuals who had broken through the limits of each sub-world, and couldn't help but curiously asked.
The old man...the answer given by [Cain] today is yes.
……
While figuring out the old man's identity, the boss and the maid also followed his steps and went deep into the end of the cave - a rather simple-looking mud house.
But before they arrived, there were already other people here - descendants of those ancient races who lived in the past - a woman who seemed to be about to give birth, and her man.
When the man and woman saw the old man coming back, they quickly came forward and thanked the old man... After being extremely grateful, the man helped the woman with a big belly and left - from the beginning to the end, they showed no signs of Like seeing a strange tenant.
"In this past, I played the role of their mentor." After the couple left, the old man smiled slightly and said: "I taught them production, life, and some small knowledge. Normally, If they encounter any difficulties, they will come to me.”
Luo Qiu said interestingly: "It's like a wise man in the village."
"I just lived longer and saw more things." The old man said quite casually: "Although the long period of time cannot improve an individual's original intelligence, or even if the improvement is quite small, only by 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, [Cain] now has no tendency to inquire about the other person - Luo Qiu. This actually makes Luo Qiu more interested.
The other party just smiled slightly and said: "It's not time to be curious yet... By the way, I plan to entertain you two, but I need you to come here thoroughly [in the past], otherwise I think we will only have to talk."
In fact, it's like there is a screen across... Luo Qiu and the maid are always in front of the screen, and [Past] is the content on the screen - [Cain] is the body of this screen.
The [past] here is actually a world in consciousness constructed by [Cain] - 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 escapees from the [Farm] who once lived in the corpse pit are completely different from their life trajectories on the [screen].
Luo Qiu didn't hesitate at all. After lifting the maid's hand, he slowly took a step forward - this step was like breaking through an invisible membrane. He and the maid had entered the [screen]. world.
There is no change at all...it's just that in this [past], he and the maid already existed.
It seems that he has felt this existence. Now [Cain] began to slowly boil water and make tea in the mud house, "Taste these...According to the memory of [the original me] I inherited, this is Tea leaves roasted from the leaves of a rare plant from a world whose land is almost covered by the ocean. Of course, it doesn’t exist, but this is just the world of consciousness... so the taste should be fine.”
Just as [Cain] started making tea, the maid flicked her fingers slightly, and black flames transformed into a few words in front of Boss Luo's eyes.
[Soul], [Power].
Luo Qiu immediately understood the maid's hint - [Power] is what was traded for the former [Cain], and [Soul] is what the former [Cain] paid for.
But among the customer ledgers that have not yet arrived, Luo Qiu has never seen [Cain]'s name - as for those ledgers that record countless transactions, Boss Luo has not continued to look at them for a while, at best, he only looks at them when needed. Check it out, or occasionally flip through a few pages if you remember it.
The transaction with the former [Cain] has obviously been completed. Whether it is the former [Cain] or the club, the transaction between the two parties has been completed - the former [Cain] fell into this sub-world due to an accident and died in the end. At that time, its soul had been automatically credited through the contract... This was probably before Luo Qiu accepted the club.
As for the current [Cain], and the [Cain] who once completed the transaction, it can be said that they are two different conscious individuals - the current old man, although he also has the name of [Cain], he even inherited a lot of [Cain]'s memory, but it is essentially more like an incomplete copy.
In other words... maybe it was the former [Cain], created at the end for himself who is about to dissipate, another form of continuation... a conscious body that has consciousness, but no soul, but can think independently. .
Luo Qiu is more inclined to regard the current [Cain] as a program that has the same thinking mode and partial memory as the previous [Cain], and then performs complex calculations under these established settings... Strictly speaking, today The [Cain] is just a fake.
He couldn't help but think of the [Soul Project] that the maid lady once mentioned, which was born in a certain sub-world that had been destroyed.
……
After tasting the tea from another sub-world, Luo Qiu glanced at the little resentful spirit hiding behind [Cain]. The little resentful spirit just looked at each other timidly at this time.
Boss Luo smiled slightly, "By the way, old gentleman, you just said that there seems to be some difference between you and [Lost Fang]... You can't control [Lost Fang] now, right."
Now [Cain] was silent for a while... as if he was thinking and deciding whether to disclose his information. He could only hear him saying to himself: "According to the memory I inherited, even if you don't explain anything, you It also seems to have the ability to be almost omniscient and omnipotent... Concealing it is not advisable.”
In this way, Luo Qiu's feeling that today's [Cain] is just a thinking mode, partial memory, and even an autonomous calculation program with emotions of the past [Cain] becomes more and more intense.
Finally, the old man nodded and said slowly: "[The Lost Fang] is the name later given by the vampires living here. In fact, it is just that after the death of [the original me], there is no Corrupted Body - Strictly speaking, although I inherited the name of [Cain], I am actually more like its descendant. Originally, I also had control of the [Lost Fang], but these days, I have. The parts that can be controlled have begun to weaken.”
Luo Qiu thought for a while and said: "Because of the thirteen clans living on this body?"
The old man nodded: "I said that this world also has some legends about [Cain]... In fact, there are many legends about [Cain], and he is not necessarily the ancestor considered by the thirteen clans in this world... [Once I am actually more willing to admit that I am the first child of Adam and Eve, the sinner who was exiled by Him and cannot be killed by others.”
Shaking his head, he seemed reluctant to mention this part, "Because in this world [Cain] is the reason why vampires are always there. When the [original me] embedded [Cain]'s existence, its body also automatically changed due to the will of the world. Some transformations have occurred due to the rules... In other words, it has become a form of expression that conforms to the history of this world. Well... Generally speaking, we call this transformation [the unstable state of the world]. .”
"We?"
He nodded, "It's just something that was researched in their free time by some fellow travelers from different worlds that I met on the way of exploration. It was first proposed by a guy named [Archimedes], and then gradually It spread... I heard that he later joined a relatively large exploration group, it seems to be called [Transcendence], right?"
Shaking his head, the old man said calmly: "In fact, [the old me] never really met him. Although [the old me] also received an invitation from this group, he did not join in the end... Actually 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."
"Relatively speaking, maybe you won't appear." Luo Qiu said softly: "He exists, but you will not exist... Would you like it?"
The old man said calmly: "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.
The current [Cain] shook his head and didn't mind, but continued the previous topic, "...among the thirteen clans, there is a ritual called [Holy Blood]. Through this ritual, they want to awaken The consciousness of [Lost Fang] - because they believe that the ancestor is not dead, but just sleeping... because [Lost Fang] is alive, at least, the body is still active."
"They succeeded." Luo Qiu said coldly.
The old man sighed: "It can be said that... 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 ten The desires and hopes of the vampires of the three clans, as well as the hatred and despair of the devotees... In the end, all the distracting thoughts merged into a new body of consciousness. Not only did it share the remnants of the "original me" like me, Even because it was created by the native vampires of this world, it is even more in line with the legendary form of [Cain] in this world. Well, counting the time, the next [Holy Blood] ceremony of the Thirteen Clans will be almost there. Is it coming? To be honest, if this ritual happens a few more times, maybe I will be swallowed by it... After all, it is closer to the [unstable state] of this world than me."
"Another new consciousness?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said: "It is sleeping... It is also because of the time it was sleeping that I can slightly control the body of [Lost Fang]... Maybe it is too close to the legend of this world, it is also like a vampire Generally speaking, they like to sleep deeply and integrate themselves through deep sleep. Those distracting thoughts make myself purer... Basically, as long as I don't show my struggle for the [Lost Fang] with it and just move my body a little, it will ignore me. After all...compared to it, I am too weak."
"Are you planning to keep going like this until the end, making it even more powerful and then swallowing you?" Boss Luo smiled slightly at this time and asked softly.
[Cain] just smiled bitterly, "I didn't pay attention at all...you still gave me a choice." (End of Chapter)
