The so-called homicide is not necessarily limited to legal, physiological and physical definitions, and the mental level can also kill people.

There is no need to cut off the head, and there is no need to shed rivers of blood, as long as the information in the human brain is zeroed and replaced, the human personality can be fundamentally erased.

Personality is based on a large amount of accumulated memory and intelligence information, and the level of human consciousness is more delicate and fragile than the physical body, and once destroyed, there is no possibility of repair. In this respect, the erasure of a person's personality is more complete than the erasure of the flesh. If you can replace and implant a new personality, it can also play some unexpected uses. In terms of efficiency alone, mental murder is actually more efficient than physical murder.

The above argument can be established in theory, but it is not easy to implement in practice.

It is true that the human spirit is fragile, and in many cases violence and drugs alone can destroy a person's personality, but for those who are specially trained, have special habits, and have a strong spirit, the effect is not ideal.

But even these guys, who would be intractable to professionals, sadists, and killers, were just dolls for Sloth to fiddle with.

Of the Seven Deadly Sins, Sloth specializes in the spiritual realm, and his suggestive power is so strong that he can even directly cause damage to the target's physical body through the spirit. Manipulating dreams brainwashes living people into an empty shell with no ability to think, and it is nothing more than a gesture for him. As long as you first use nightmares to make the other party feel the despair of being deprived of everything, destroy the bottom line of the target's psychology, and when the target's spirit falls into the blank realm of all hopes, instill the written script into it, and then give some beautiful false memories as sweetness and motivation for work, a perfect automaton is born.

The principle is not complicated, but it is the use of human weakness and psychological defense mechanisms, as long as there is sufficient research in the fields of psychology and spirituality, and sufficient funds and equipment, any organization or individual can continue to produce brainwashed automaton like a production screw. In the second form, Sloth can brainwash tens of thousands of people at the same time, and then it depends on Sloth's mood to cause a large-scale riot or a legion-level rebellion.

It stands to reason that Sloth, who appears in his second form, brainwashes a human being and is a complete waste of resources and abilities, and wouldn't it be faster and more convenient to directly control the "attacker" or brainwash other crew members to beat Roland to the scum?

If he could, Sloth would do the same without being reminded.

The reason why there is such a roundabout and painstaking effort is that the top boss is not considerate of his subordinates and gives orders to do as he pleases.

A certain big boss did order "It doesn't matter if you kill Roland", but there is a line in the specific order that is so small that you will miss it if you are careless - on the premise of ensuring the ability to reproduce, it doesn't matter how you do it.

......

There is this kind of bird order that makes people flip the table on the spot and roar angrily, "There is a sentence under MMP, I don't know whether to say it or not", and it is not strange that any act of killing Roland is in fact not allowed. It is not necessarily that the Seven Deadly Sins technology is super-divine and can break Roland's body into pieces on the premise of preserving the integrity and sustainable operation of a single organ. Even if you miss it or pretend to miss the additional explanation, no matter how 3721 kills Roland, there will be a big black cauldron of "distorting the will" and "forging orders" waiting afterwards, and the end must be very interesting.

What is the meaning of crushing people to death at the level of the official university; what is the meaning of moving the mouth at the top and breaking the leg from the bottom; what is the meaning of digging a pit at the top and jumping at the bottom; this is it.

With this tightening spell, until it is confirmed that Roland does have an heir, it is impossible for the seven deadly sins to kill the killer.

On the other hand, as long as the body is okay and can perform male duties normally, it doesn't matter what you do.

After all, killing doesn't have to be limited to the flesh.

It is true that once memories and consciousness have been destroyed, there is absolutely no way to go back. However, there is no problem in intervening in brain tissue and nervous system to maintain physiological functions.

In a word, Sloth's plan was to crush Roland's spirit, and then brainwash it into a "seeding machine" in order to "mass produce a candidate for test subjects" - both to accomplish the task without disobeying the instructions, and by the way, to satisfy a little personal interest and vindictiveness. It's a little exciting to think about.

Excitement is excitement, there is a lot of time to be excited after the deed is done, but for now, let's focus on how to destroy Roland, who was finally pulled into the nightmare world.

With a sly smile, Sloth's consciousness sank into the endless abyss.

###############

A world full of disobedience.

There was no clear evidence, and there were no particularly noticeable sensations, but Roland did sense a hint of something unusual.

It's as if the world around you has suddenly been stolen and replaced with a set that is almost realistic, and the real has been replaced with a flawless falsehood.

Perhaps this is the dislocation of the sudden deep dive into the spiritual realm from a waking state, or perhaps this is the unique effect of the dream that Sloth deliberately created.

The boy subconsciously reached out and touched his waist, and from the palm of his hand came a very real touch of the hilt, the weight and touch that he felt when he held Dirandal on a regular basis were no different, and even the subtle senses of something running along his arm into his body were faithfully reproduced.

To do this, should Sloth be kind and considerate, or is that "lazy" actually paranoid?

As he was complaining with emotion, the surroundings gradually brightened, and the originally empty void gradually appeared.

Tiny churches.

There is neither the grandeur of the big city churches, nor the quaint vicissitudes of the churches of the holy capital. It condenses the ordinary, ordinary, and other elements, which can be called a realistic commentary on the term "country church".

The hand gripping the hilt of the sword trembled, and the originally steady breathing became heavy in an instant, and the vigilant eyes flashed with boiling anger after a trace of confusion.

The air was crisp on the spotless chairs and floors, and the sunlight cast the image of the Mother Goddess on the ground through the carefully polished stained sharded glass, and children dressed in simple clothes stood on the altar and sat around the priest.

The atmosphere is reassuring, and I want to sit down and take a sip of tea, close my eyes and rest on the back of my chair.

But for Roland, it was a sight to stir his scales and salt his wounds.

It's just because this is the situation that he buried deep in his memory, and it is also his eternal pain.

The priest's sermon seemed to be over, and the children stood up and bowed and then left the church in order, the faces full of laughter passing through the sides of the boy, and the purple eyes that were about to erupt turned a sinister gaze on the priest who walked down the altar.

The priest was very young, and the heavy vestments did not look frivolous on him, and his upright features, neatly trimmed hair, steady steps, and gentle eyes brewed a youthful and old atmosphere.

Anyone would think that this is a very serious and devout priest, and there must be an endless stream of believers who bow down to his sermons, and even if this is a saint, even if there is no solid evidence, there are countless believers.

But in Roland's eyes, it was a disguise that was superficial, and it was also the source of his anger.

"Long time no see. ”

The young priest gently clipped the cross hanging from his chest with the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and a smile impeccable from his face appeared.

"You look very energetic, did you encounter something good?"

There was no seriousness to say hello, and the slightly squinted eyes were revealed between the dark hair, and the blood-like crimson eyes reflected the tense young man.
