Chapter 74: The Perpetrator and the Victim (1)
He was still silent about Boss Luo's question.
Luo Qiu was obviously not in a hurry...... Basically, for every person given a choice, he will at the same time give the utmost patience.
The waiting process is not long.
"You... What can you do to help me? [Cain] asked slowly.
"What do you want. Luo Qiu also asked softly.
He was once again lost in thought, and as he sat it was as if he were a statue that had existed since time immemorial...... Not moving, not even the slightest expression of the face.
This [past] existence has also slowed down because of this...... Everything in front of me seems to have degraded from high pixels to low pixels, and then blurred and coarse.
Only the little spirit has not changed...... Luo Qiu knew that the pit of corpses outside the cave was the same at this time—except for the spirits of the dead mutant children, everything here was the result of a calculation in Cain's consciousness.
When it focuses most of its attention on thinking about a problem, it is naturally unable to take into account the natural changes in the past as a whole.
Long.
As if suddenly he had become angry, Cain lifted his eyesless face and faced Luo Qiu. The sunken eye sockets looked like black holes, but Luo Qiu could see that in the depths of this black hole, something wanted to glow.
It's like Mars without oxygen.
"In fact, over the years, I have been thinking about why [the original me] led to my birth. [Cain] pressed his hands down on the table.
Through this touch, everything that was blurry around me gradually became clear again.
"I think it may be hoping that I will carry on its legacy. [Cain] paused, as if to consider a more reasonable word, "Maybe it's some command that has been hidden in my memory for a long time...... It wants me to finish what it hasn't done yet. ”
"Explore. Luo Qiu nodded.
[Cain] also nodded, then pointed to his head and said, "Most of the knowledge I have stored here is about this knowledge...... Other than that, there isn't much superfluous. In fact, if it hadn't left me the name Cain, perhaps even if I had been born, I wouldn't have known who I really was...... In fact, who am I now?"
"I've been wondering. [Cain] shook his head, "This doubt has always made me want to avoid the instructions contained in the knowledge in my head...... Then, new questions came to my mind, and I ...... What is it. ”
"So, you haven't left here. Luo Qiu smiled and said, "You chose to stay put...... Stop was selected. ”
"Stop...... Cain muttered for a moment before nodding, "Maybe you should say I've been born cowardly...... But I like your diction, albeit that I should be hesitant to move forward. ”
Luo Qiu said indifferently: "We stopped, and even stood still, many times just to wait for a better time...... Even if you may hesitate to miss it. ”
[Cain] smiled, "You're not like a guy with mysterious powers, you're more like a human. ”
Luo Qiu said: "Didn't the old gentleman say that time accumulates knowledge, not wisdom...... Even if you become wise because of knowledge, it is not different to think about it. The elders seem to be full of wisdom, but there are also more seniors who are still ignorant...... No one says that a person who lives a long time will necessarily become smarter than anyone else, capable of anything else can. In fact, it is mostly a projection of the conjecture's own wishes...... Then there doesn't seem to be much difference whether there is strength or not. Of course, that's just my current opinion. ”
"You're going to be refuted. Cain smiled, "Whether it's those who already have knowledge, or those who want to become like that...... Breaking a beautiful conjecture is tantamount to backstabbing the other person. ”
"Then let's not argue. Luo Qiu smiled and said, "Besides, maybe I will overturn this current belief in the future...... Just as the young self will feel naïve when you are young, and the mature self will feel that the young self is ignorant. If I really feel ashamed, I don't think it's any different from other people in general, and I would probably deny it outright. ”
[Cain] didn't speak, but lowered his head, and at some point, the little wraith was already on his lap, as if he had fallen asleep.
He stretched out his hand and ran it very gently against the little spirit's back.
Then he looked up again and said, "I don't want to inherit these if I can...... I don't want to just disappear. In fact, I don't have a strong desire for the original exploration, and even if I do, it's probably instilled in me. Actually, I like my current life more than this ethereal exploration, and the consciousness of another new Cain, fighting for control of the Lost Fangs. I was in a long period of confusion, and the constant thinking and contradictions began to make me unstable, and it was during that time that the new consciousness of another [Cain] had room to grow...... Actually, when it was first born, I was able to destroy it. ”
"Why not. ”
"Self-defeating?" [Cain] smiled wryly, "Perhaps, it feels more in line with [the original me]'s expectations...... For example, if parents give birth to two brothers, one is smart and the other is stupid...... I think I'm going to be the latter, the one who wasn't expected by my parents, and the one who would cause trouble. Naturally, there will be a feeling that maybe the family will become more perfect without stupidity. ”
"Do you think this is actually a delusion? Luo Qiu asked curiously.
"Maybe later...... If there is a later. [Cain] responded with Boss Luo's words.
Luo Qiu Wan'er smiled, and then said formally: "Your wish." ”
[Cain] rubbed the little wraith's head and whispered, "I don't know, they will ever grow up." ”
"Is it just here? ”
[Cain] opened his mouth, then smiled wryly and laughed at himself, "It seems that I don't have much purchasing power...... Thank you that you didn't turn a blind eye to my poverty, though. In fact, I don't think I really have anything to trade...... I'm just a fake, and in the light of what I've inherited, it doesn't seem to have much value. ”
Boss Luo didn't speak, just waved his hand to let a roll of parchment appear—a blank parchment roll.
After that, lines of text began to appear on it...... It's just that the appearance of words is not very fast, as if writing stops.
Youye knew that it was her master who was drafting the contents of the contract—usually, the content of the contract was automatically generated after the negotiation between the two parties...... The altar will give the most accurate regulations.
It is not forbidden for the boss to draft the contents of the contract on his own...... However, when the transaction volume is large to a certain extent, it will naturally be more efficient and save more time by automatically generating it.
Miss Maid's current master is fine, and she has not plunged headlong into a large number of transactions...... If it was the size of the previous generation of shopkeepers, I am afraid that the amount of work involved in drafting the contents of the contract would be enough for the previous shopkeeper to not even have time to wander.
"Sir, this is the content of the contract, if you think there is no problem, is there anything you feel dissatisfied with. ”
Eventually, the words on the parchment stopped appearing completely—and Luo Qiu placed it in front of Cain.
[Cain] lost both eyes, but when his palm touched the parchment, the contents of the pact were imprinted in his consciousness.
It took a long time for [Cain] to let out a slow sigh, "I think it's good enough for me...... If there is such a day, I don't mind. ”
As he spoke, he imprinted his palm directly on the bottom of the parchment...... The parchment then spontaneously combusted and then disappeared into the air.
"Well, wait a minute. ”
Luo Qiu stood up, nodded to Cain with a smile, and then left with the maid lady from this past.
......
When she returned to [now], she was still in the abode of the red dragon's bones, and Miss Maria was still on the ground...... In fact, time has not passed for long, it is probably just a moment.
The little wraith is gone...... It has gone back to its past.
Boss Luo waved his hand to keep Miss Witch from lying on the ground, and then walked out of the residence of the red dragon skeleton with Miss Maid.
The top was covered with vines and fibrous roots, like dirt, completely submerging the entire pit of corpses, leaving only a small space in the dwelling.
Luo Qiu glanced around, and finally locked his gaze in one direction—and then, the maid lady noticed.
Raise your hand and wave a black flame...... Like two black phoenixes, the fire ravens instantly burned out two long passages in the sea of vines and fibrous roots—and before long, something rolled out of them.
They are the golden dragon, and the self-proclaimed [Norman] Badsby and the girl Mina.
They all have a lot of subtle wounds on their bodies...... I could barely see the blood spilling from these wounds. Of course, they have different physiques.
The Golden Dragon's wounds healed almost instantly, while Norman's wounds were a little slower...... The girl's wounds did not change.
But it's all right.
But at this time, the vines around ...... Or rather, at this time, the entire pit of corpses began to shake.
Above, the intertwined vines and fibrous roots began to wriggle and twist. It's like lines...... Finally, a huge face, from flat to three-dimensional, stands out from above...... Thunder.
Growl.
Countless vines became sharp at this moment, and thousands of them began to pierce straight down directly from this huge [face].
Luo Qiu just looked at the other party's huge angry face at this time, and his face was calm.
The maid lady only grabbed a black flame when these sharp thorns arrived, and threw it out casually...... The black flame, which can ignite anything, directly attached itself to the flames the moment it touched these spikes, and then jumped up to ...... The huge face above suddenly made the black flames more vivid.
As a last resort, the huge face had to fall off directly from the burning places.
A large amount of ash, falling from above, seemed to be black snow...... At the same time, its roar became more and more terrifying.
"It seems that although this guy was also born from the [Lost Fang], he has not inherited much knowledge from [Cain]...... In other words, the one in the cave still has some reservations. ”
Luo Qiu nodded, looking indifferent.
He raised his head at this time, looked at the huge face, and said indifferently, "I'm sorry, we don't have the consciousness to disturb your eating...... It's just that it might be quicker to call you out that way...... We're just being asked to discuss something with you. Roughly speaking, the other you wish to be free from this body, and you promise not to have any thoughts of harming or devouring it. ”
There was no response, the huge face just roared again, and then from the giant face, more sharp thorns were released again, and at the same time, the blood-sucking vines like long worms on the ground also burrowed out of the ground.
It's like a group of demons dancing.
Luo Qiu shook his head and looked at the maid, "It seems that it needs to be calmed down so that it can negotiate better...... How long will it take?"
The maid smiled and said, "Be violent, it should be soon...... Please give me ten seconds, my master. ”
"If it's overtime......" Luo Qiu quipped, "Let me help you take care of your body tonight?" of course, if not overtime...... How about I let you dress up again?"
"Yikes. The maid chuckled, "It's really a ...... People are distressed about the choice of it. ”
As he spoke, Youye flipped over and took out a pocket watch...... He opened the lid of the watch, put it in the master's hand, and said softly, "Then, let's start from this second." ”
The second hand begins to rotate the first divide...... The maid did not act, but just looked into the eyes of her master.
It wasn't until the second hand reached the third square that the maid slowly retreated.
The fourth square, one step.
The fifth grid, two steps.
The sixth square, the turn.
In the seventh square, a black flag appeared in the hand of the maid lady.
In the eighth square, the maid raised the black flag in her hand, and the black fire lotus bloomed all around, and all the vines in the deep pit of the entire corpse were instantly calcined into ashes, like black snow falling down.
In the ninth square, a figure fell from the ashes...... His body was still burned by the black flames.
10th ...... The maid lady turned around, and the black battle flag was held behind her with both hands, only to hear her bow forward slightly, and said lightly: "If you take care of it...... Why don't you wait for tomorrow?"
