Chapter 1152: Division
"Master Holmonx, since you weren't born with a split personality, what happened to you that led to splitting into an evil personality like Higgs, which is contrary to your nature?" Roland asked curiously.
Holmonx smiled bitterly and passed on his feelings of remorse to Roland: "Of course, there is an external pressure factor in the split personality, but I don't want to make excuses, in fact, the birth of Higgs is mainly caused by myself, and it is a big mistake caused by my own cleverness." ”
"You probably also feel that the environment of Akron is completely different from the main material world, there is no sunlight here, only endless long nights, the blood-colored moonlight represents the evil nature of this world, the never-dissipating gray fog is the embodiment of chaos, evil and chaos are the supreme laws of Akron, and the goodness and order in people's hearts will be suppressed and rejected by the laws of the world, or the will of the evil gods, I have lived in such an environment for two centuries, I have tried my best to keep the good thoughts in my heart, trying to avoid being assimilated by this filthy world, My resistance is not strong, but unfortunately I can't defeat the laws of the world after all, and under the influence of the will of the evil god, I become more crazy and ruthless day by day. ”
Holmens sighed and continued to tell Roland and the others about the unbearable past.
"In order to prevent myself from losing my reason and becoming a fanatic, I was making two preparations at the same time, on the one hand, to speed up the development of the 'Lamp of Reason', according to my expectations, this spiritual weapon could at least greatly alleviate my madness symptoms, if not completely shielding Akron's nightmares, and on the other hand, I also considered that I might succeed in creating the first one. The Lamp of Reason' had gone mad before, and in order to prepare for the worst-case scenario, I created this crystal jar that could seal my soul while I was still sane, and used my psychic ability to split my personality into two parts, one of which was dominated by reason, and the other part of my personality concentrated most of the madness. ”
"The latter part of the personality is Higgs." Roland guessed logically.
"That's right, Higgs was born on that day, I originally planned to seal the crazy part of the personality into the bottle, but I never thought that when it came to the end, the rational personality was overwhelmed by the crazy personality, and was sealed in the bottle by the latter, that is, from that moment on, Higgs Holmonx split into two people, and I was imprisoned in the bottle as the 'rational Holmonx', and" Mad Higgs' took possession of me, and he didn't seem to be able to fully control his crazy personality, or master the body taken from me, and cried like a wayward child in the shelter, and then fled, and I haven't seen him since. ”
Lyudmila was worried about what happened to Holmunks, and she couldn't wait to ask: "How did you get back and protect the shelter from the fanatics after that heavy blow?" ”
"Thanks to Higgs for not destroying the half-finished 'Lamp of Reason' when he went berserk, and thanks to him forgetting to recite the last incantation after sealing me in a bottle, I was able to manifest my abilities in the bottle, and after many failed attempts, I finally succeeded in lighting the first 'Lamp of Reason' in Akron's history, which warmed my heart to the point of despair, gave me the courage to continue living, and the light kept the madman out as I wished. The 'Sobers' created a pure land, and I've been the leader of the 'Sober Ones' ever since, while Higgs has created the 'Cult of Fanatics', indulging his minions to hunt down the Lucid in the streets of Akron—and the adventurers who have broken into Akron with dreams of making a fortune. ”
Holmens' last words hurt Holden, as if he had mocked him. Grofer noticed the strange look on his brother's face, so he asked him a question: "Master Holmonks, we did come to Akron with the original intention of treasure hunting, according to the clues recorded in a story called 'Two Dreams', Maria and her parents were deceived here by similar stories, I want to know who made up such a story with lies and evil intentions, and who built portals to Akron in all corners of the main material world to trick people into this nightmare city, what is the plan?" ”
"Child, I am ashamed of your questioning, and I can honestly tell you that I made up the original idea of Two Dreams, and the different versions that have been circulated in various planes have been adapted from this original version, and the purpose of this is simply to trick adventurers who are eager to seek treasure into coming to Akron and help us 'awake' fight against the fanatic, just as you have done in the city for the past two days." Holmonx smiled bitterly and continued: "This deception was set up by me before the split personality, but I can't blame Higgs for the fault, because designing such a huge hoax requires calm thinking and rational calculation, which can only be dominated by my part of the personality, and Higgs is an innocent ......"
"How exactly did this scam work?" Anthony asked curiously. He now admired Holmonks, who could devise clever tricks, both good and evil, would be respected by him.
"Actually, it's very simple, I made up the 'Double Dreams' and also created some small spiritual weapons, as long as the spiritual weapons are placed in a place with plenty of soil and water, it will slowly grow into a one-way portal to Akron, you should know that there are some spellcasters who love to travel, spend most of their lives exploring unknown worlds, and occasionally travel mages strayed into Akron, they are my original partners, I will' The story blueprint of 'Double Dreams' and the teleportation artifact were handed over to those traveling mages, and they were asked to bring them back to their respective worlds, choose a secret place to bury the spiritual artifact, and rewrite the 'Double Dreams' according to the burial location, and the deception spread, and those who were tricked into Akron by the 'Double Dreams', if they were lucky enough to escape from the fanatics and come to Vault 13, I would help them escape from Akron and return to their own world, and in return, they would set up a new portal according to my instructions and continue to spread. 'Tale of Two Dreams', luring more adventurers into Akron and helping us fight the ever-expanding power of Higgs. ”
Anthony was dumbfounded.
Roland also has a sense of déjà vu, and Holmens is such a god...... Why does it sound like a pyramid scheme?
