The answer from the old man made the maid look slightly surprised...... With the perception shielded by the owner, it is difficult for her to make the most accurate judgment on the intelligence at this stage.

Boss Luo seemed to like to see the appearance of a person who could embarrass the maid at this time, and then showed a confused expression...... Still had no intention of loosening the shield - of course, himself.

It's like a little game of a couple looking at each other and competing to see who can laugh out loud or blink first.

It may seem a bit profligate...... But after the immortality in the true sense given by the root behind the club, there is probably also the capital of waves.

Quietly looking at the rare thoughtful micro-expression on the maid's face, Luo Qiu couldn't help but want to take out the camera to take out her appearance at this time, but he was afraid that this time to fiddle with the camera would miss this rare moment.

Still is...... Let the eyes remember.

"You...... Is it Cain's regenerative consciousness?" is the question that Yuya gave after thinking about it...... She carefully looked at everything about the old man in front of her.

The old man nodded, and then said slowly: "It turns out that when I passed through the gap between the dimensions, I encountered unprecedented horror...... Now that I have almost lost that memory, I only vaguely remember the name of the great horror...... [Void Shura]. ”

"[Void Shura]?" Luo Qiu thought for a moment - he had actually encountered the creatures in the [Void Yuan Demon], and the body reconstruction of the club's Black Soul Envoy was basically the [Alien Origin] extracted from this creature as the core material.

"I don't know anything about [Void Shura] right now. ”

The old man shook his head, "Originally, I fell into this sub-world, and fortunately, this sub-world also has the legend of [I], so the original me used my last strength to embed [I] into part of the history of this world, and then completely disappeared. As for the present me, I was born from this part of history, and I inherited the new consciousness of the original part of my knowledge and memory. Of course...... Memories of transactions with you have also been inherited. Come to think of it, this part of the memory is also because I feel that it is necessary to write it down, so I will leave it in particular, right? But I don't know if the original me has deviated or concealed it in the process of leaving it. ”

The old man ...... [Cain] has already said this, and Boss Luo has already understood what is going on.

The regenerative consciousness of this [Cain] in front of him theoretically has a lot in common with Nan Xiaonan or 24's encounters - even, they are all visitors to the outer world.

"You... It turns out that 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 ask curiously.

Old man...... The answer given by Cain today is yes.

......

While figuring out the old man's identity, the boss and the maid followed him and went deep into the end of the cave, a mud hut that looked rather rudimentary.

But before they arrived, there was already another fellow—descendants of the ancient races that lived in the past—a woman who looked like she was about to give birth, and her man.

When the man and woman saw the old man coming back at this time, they quickly came forward and thanked the old man...... After being grateful, the man helped the woman with a big belly to leave—all the while, they showed that they didn't see strange tenants.

"In this past, I was in the role of their mentor as a class. After the man and woman left, the old man smiled and said, "I taught them production, life, and some little knowledge." Usually, if I have any difficulties, they will come to me. ”

Luo Qiu said funny: "It's like a character like a wise man in the village." ”

"I just lived a little longer and watched more. The old man said quite casually: "Although the long river of time cannot improve the original intelligence of an individual, or even if it is improved, it is quite small, but only knowledge can be accumulated all the time, endlessly. ”

"Don't you wonder about me. Luo Qiu asked coldly.

Since recognizing the identity of the maid lady, the current [Cain] has no tendency to inquire about another person, Luo Qiu, which makes Luo Qiu more interested.

The other party just smiled and said, "It's not time to be curious...... By the way, I'm going to entertain you both, but you'll need to be here completely, or I guess we'll just have to talk. ”

In fact, it's like being separated from the screen...... Luo Qiu and Miss Maid have always been in front of the screen, and [Past] is the content on the screen—[Cain] is the ontology of this screen.

The [past] here is actually a conscious world constructed by [Cain] - because it is a fictional relationship, it is completely different from the life in the pit of corpses described in the animal skin diary.

The trajectories of the [farm] escapees who once lived in the corpse pit are completely different from the trajectories of their lives in this [screen].

Luo Qiu didn't hesitate at all, and after lifting the hand of the maid lady, he slowly took a step forward - this step was like breaking through an invisible membrane, and he and the maid lady had entered the world of [screen].

Not the slightest change...... It's just that in this [past], he and Miss Maid already existed.

As if sensing this presence, Cain began to slowly boil water and make tea in the mud hut, "Taste these...... According to the memories I inherited from the original me, it was tea roasted from the leaves of a rare plant from a world where the land was almost covered by the ocean. Of course, it doesn't exist, but it's just the world of consciousness...... So if it tastes, it should be okay. ”

Just as [Cain] began to make tea, the maid lady's fingers flicked slightly, and the black flames conjured up a few words in front of Boss Luo's eyes.

[Soul], [Strength].

Luo Qiu immediately understood the maid's hint - [power], that is, what was traded for the former [Cain], and [soul] was what the former [Cain] paid.

But among the customer ledgers that have not yet arrived, Luo Qiu has never seen the name of [Cain] - as for the ledgers that have recorded countless transactions, Boss Luo has not continued to watch them for a while, at best, he only looks them up when he needs to, or occasionally remembers to flip through a few pages at random.

The deal with the former [Cain] has obviously been completed, whether it is the former [Cain] or the club's side, the transaction between the two parties has been completed - when the former [Cain] fell into this sub-world due to an accident, and finally died, its soul has been automatically credited through the contract...... This was presumably before Locho accepted the club.

As for the current [Cain], and the [Cain] that once completed the transaction, it can be said that they are two different consciousness individuals - the old man now, although he also has the name of [Cain] and even inherited a lot of [Cain] memories, but it is essentially more like an incomplete copy.

Or rather...... It may be the continuation of another form created by the former Cain in for the self that is about to dissipate...... A consciousness that has consciousness, but no soul, but can think on its own.

Luo Qiu prefers to think of today's [Cain] as a program that has the same thinking pattern as the [Cain] in the past, partially memorized, and then performed complex calculations under these established settings...... Strictly speaking, today's Cain is just a fake.

He couldn't help but think of the [Soul Project] that Miss Maid had mentioned that a certain sub-world that had been shattered had been born.

......

After tasting the tea from another sub-world, Luo Qiu glanced at the little resentful spirit hiding behind [Cain], and the little resentful spirit 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 difference between you and the [Lost Fang]...... You can't control the Lost Fangs right now, can you? ”

Cain was silent for a while...... As if he was thinking about whether or not to disclose his information, he was heard muttering to himself: "From the memories I have inherited, it seems that you have almost omniscient and omnipotent abilities, even if you don't say anything...... Concealment is not advisable. ”

In this way, Luo Qiu's sense that today's [Cain] is just a kind of thinking mode with the former [Cain], some memories, and even emotions are becoming more and more intense.

Finally, the old man nodded and said slowly, "[Lost Fang] is the name later taken by the vampires who lived on it. Actually, it's just the original me's body that didn't corrupt after its death - technically speaking, I've inherited the name of Cain, but I'm actually more like its descendant. Originally, I also had control of the Lost Fangs, but over the years, what I was able to control has begun to weaken. ”

Luo Qiu thought for a moment and said, "Because of the thirteen clans that live on this body?"

The old man nodded: "I said that this world also has some legends of [Cain]...... In fact, there are many legends about Cain, and it is not necessarily the ancestor of the thirteen clans of this world...... I am actually more willing to admit that I am the first child of Adam and Eve, and the sinner who was banished by Him and cannot be killed by others. ”

Shaking his head, he didn't seem to be willing to mention this part, "Because [Cain] is always a vampire in this world, when [the original me] embeds the existence of [Cain], its body automatically undergoes some transformation due to the rules of the world's will...... In other words, it has become a form of expression that conforms to the history of this world. Well...... We, in general, call this transformation the unstable state of the world. ”

"We?"

He nodded, "It's just some of the people I met on the way of exploration, who came from different worlds, and researched them in their spare time." At first, a guy named Archimedes brought it up, and then it spread...... I heard that he later joined a relatively large exploration group, which seems to be called [Detachment], right?"

Shaking his head, the old man said indifferently: "In fact, [former me] and him have not really met, although [former me] also received an invitation from this group, but in the end did not join...... In fact, from my point of view now, maybe the original me should have joined a group, because maybe this way, when the [former me] encountered the great horror, there would be no danger of falling. ”

"On the other hand, maybe you won't be there. Luo Qiu said softly: "He exists, 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. ”

"I'm sorry, I'll take notice. Luo Qiu said apologetically.

The current [Cain] shook his head, not minding, but picked up the previous topic, "...... Among the Thirteen Clans, there is a ritual called Holy Blood, through which they want to awaken the consciousness of the Lost Fangs - because they believe that the First Ancestor is not dead, but only asleep...... Because, [Lost Fang] is alive, at least, the body is still alive. ”

"And they succeeded. Luo Qiu said coldly.

The old man sighed: "So to speak...... Over the years, the endless blood that has been injected into the [Lost Fang] through the [Holy Blood] consciousness really contains too many distracting thoughts. These miscellaneous thoughts include the desires and hopes of the vampires from the Thirteen Clans, as well as the hatred and despair of being sacrificed...... Eventually, all the distracting thoughts merged into a new consciousness body, which not only shared the remnants of the original self like me, but even because it was created by the original vampires of this world, it was even more in line with the form of the legendary [Cain] in this world. Well, calculate the time, the next [Holy Blood] ritual of the Thirteen Clans is almost coming again, right? To be honest, if this ritual is repeated a few more times, maybe I will be devoured by it...... After all, it is closer to the unstable state of this world than it is to me. ”

"Another nascent consciousness?"

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sleeping...... It was also because of the time it had been asleep that I was able to control the body of the [Lost Fang] a little...... Probably too close to the legend of this world, it is also like a vampire, like a vampire, like to sleep, through the sleep to integrate those distracting thoughts in itself, to make itself more pure...... Basically, as long as I don't show the right to fight for the Lost Fangs with it, but only move my body a little, it won't bother me. After all...... I'm just too weak compared to it. ”

"Do you intend to go on like this until the end, make it even stronger, and then devour you? Boss Luo smiled slightly at this time and asked softly.

[Cain] just smiled wryly, "Didn't you pay attention at all...... You still give me a choice. ”
