Zhou You had a dream.
In the dream, I am a butterfly.
The butterfly flapped its wings on the other side of the ocean, and water suddenly swirled in the toilet bowl on the other side.
Then Zhou You was flushed into the sewer along with all the filth.
A fishy-sweet taste appeared in Zhou You's throat, and he finally woke up from the despair of fear and confusion.
His left hand touched his neck, and there was a smooth and warm feeling on his palm. That was blood.
At this moment, Zhou You finally remembered why he was here and what exactly happened here.
Crazy Scissors, the back-up hand left by Xie Zhi, had just cut Zhou You's neck with the huge blue scissors a moment ago.
Confusion and fear penetrated Zhou You's mind as the scissors slipped, and at that moment Zhou You was brought to the most terrifying despair in the world of the huge moon.
There, I lost myself while traveling around.
White and red fish swarmed around him and swam forward, dark and light-colored foam gathered into water waves flying all over the sky, and dark and bright yellow paint buckets splashed out into the clear and clear sky, and the top of the sky was a A huge moon, a huge moon blinking at Zhou You, it is a huge eye.
Suddenly, Zhou You felt that he had suddenly changed. He is no longer a human being, he has become a swimming fish, an animal, the mountains and lakes themselves, an unformed fertilized egg, and then a worm, with floating hairs growing out of his body and gray scales. Thin wings grew out of it.
Then, there was the butterfly flapping its wings. Under the light of the huge moon, the butterfly fought against the wind and waves on the sea. In just a moment, the distance between the sky and the sea reversed, and the ferocious beast in the deep sea had a huge mouth like an abyss. Swallowed the butterfly named Zhouyou.
It is difficult for Zhou You to describe the feeling of despair. He only feels that one scene after another in which he is the protagonist, in each scene, his importance is decreasing, from a basic person to a disintegrating molecule and Atoms, but the world is getting bigger and bigger, and I am like a tiny speck of dust in that desperate world, until I can no longer find myself when I travel around.
What broke this despair was the shattering sound in Zhou You's mind.
The crisp breaking sound made Zhou You finally come back to his senses from despair.
His neck was cut with scissors, and the left hand holding his neck was covered in blood.
Logically speaking, Zhou You is already dead.
But under the mechanism of the mental illusion nested in layers of Klein Bubbles, time was stretched infinitely, so long that even such fatal injuries seemed to have stopped on Zhou You's body.
Blood spurted from the wound, but only to a millimeter outside the wound.
Therefore, Zhou You is still alive for the time being.
But at this time, Zhou You's attention was not on whether he was alive or dead. Zhou You's attention was drawn to his mind by the crisp breaking sound from before.
What was broken in that previous moment was the lottery machine in Zhou You's mind.
When Zhou You turned to look at the soul palace in his mind, he saw two broken destiny lottery machines, one on the left and one on the right.
At first it was just a cracked screen, but when Zhou You looked at the cracked screen, he realized that the rocker of the lottery machine had fallen off in an instant and fell to the ground. And when Zhou You tried to pick up the rocker, the two lottery machines instantly collapsed like dry gravel. When Zhou You reacted, only crystal debris remained in the palace.
Dark green 0s and 1s surrounded the debris, condensing into small crystal clear memory balls.
Zhou You stretched out his hand and touched the small memory ball. The memory of the battle between the death bird Xie Yun and the fate lottery machine flooded into his mind in an instant. At this moment, he finally understood that the two machines in his mind Lottery machines, including the so-called time travel system, are all a conspiracy of Digital Miracle. As long as he uses the prizes provided by the destiny lottery machine and completes the tasks provided by the time travel system one by one to clear the level, Digital Miracle can be used again and again. , and finally gained the dominance of the traveling body instead of the guest.
The ultimate goal of the Destiny Machine, or the Digital Miracle Organization, is to possess the possibilities of the time-travelers little by little through such peaceful evolution. As long as these possibilities exist, the Digital Miracle Organization can escape the control of the will of the giant moon world and give all digital people a future that is not in the script.
As the memories of Xie Yun's battle with the fate machine continued to flow into Zhou You's mind, Zhou You finally realized how much of an idiot he was when he foolishly believed in traveling through the system in Yanqing University.
It turns out that even these "systems" that exist in my own mind can't be trusted...
Zhou You still wants to continue thinking.
But Crazy Scissors saw that his eyes had regained clarity, and the next round of attacks came at him.
Zhou You didn't dodge or dodge, just watching numbly as the scissors cut him apart from top to bottom.
The scenery in my eyes quickly dispersed, drifting to the left and right.
Ah, it turns out that this is what it feels like to be split open in the middle.
Different from the previous feeling of being deceived by the Digital Miracle Presbyterian Church, that time, Zhou You who was torn apart was actually reborn in a digital form. The digital miracle took away Xie Zhi's possibility, but they still needed the identity of the time traveler. , they stripped the identity of the time traveler from Xie Zhi’s body and tried to place it in a new digital human body.
But this death is essentially a kind of annihilation. From the very beginning, Crazy Scissors had the purpose of eliminating Zhou You's corpse, and split Zhou You from the atomic structure, so that his master, who was at this time, could The earth's Xie Zhi was truly freed from this world.
Zhou You felt an unprecedented sense of relief, and his whole soul flew up, as if a cut of crazy scissors had completely erased a part of himself from the world.
At this point Zhou You couldn't help but think:
"It turns out that the incarnation left behind by Xie Zhi is so powerful."
"It seems that the real owner of my body, before traveling through time, had a combat level comparable to that of a mediator."
Zhou You thought like this and felt that his mind was empty.
The sound of crazy scissors reached my ears.
"Do you know how heavy a human soul is?"
"Everyone's soul only has 21 grams. And every time I cut with my scissors, I can cut off 1 gram of your soul."
"Therefore, from the first stab to the moment your entire body disappears from this world like an atom, it only takes a maximum of 21 stabs."
It only costs 21 knives at most.
Zhou You thought of the blackjack method on the poker table. Of course, the blackjack method is actually different from the 21 dollars, but Zhou You just thought of another name for blackjack, Black Jack.
And Black Jack also has another allusion, that is, the Ripper.
Zhou You tried hard to look at Crazy Scissors with his two separate eyes. In the overlapping shadows, he finally understood the appearance of Crazy Scissors for the first time.
Scissors of different lengths are fixed on its hands. Its entire left hand and each thumb are the blades of a pair of scissors.
And with that crazy scissoring body, that blue-black suit and dress, and the crisp tie, Zhou You finally understood for the first time the true meaning of this emotion incarnation's clothing.
"It turns out that the image projected by the crazy scissors is the Ripper."
Zhou You suddenly remembered the definition of emotion incarnation that he had learned when he first came to this world.
The accumulation of negative emotions will gather enough energy to produce a physical image, and the physical image of this accumulation of negative emotions is the emotional incarnation of super people.
Therefore, emotional incarnations are negative from the beginning. From the beginning, they are the projection of negative content.
Just like Wang Dazhuo's keyboard warrior incarnation, and Zhang Hongmian's crimson oath and the rain of blood in the sky.
The incarnation of Xie Zhi's negative emotions is the serial murderer whose name has been left in history.
It was called Crazy Scissors by Xie Zhi, but in fact, its real name was "Jack the Ripper".
In London, England during the Victorian era, a serial murderer who killed multiple women in an extremely brutal manner became one of the most notorious murderers in culture across the ocean.
Zhou You sighed, or rather, he tried to sigh.
It turns out that I have never been able to realize everything correctly.
It turns out that from the beginning, the person he traveled to was a villain.
Moreover, he is one of the few evil people in this world who commits heinous crimes and commits heinous crimes.
It is even possible that the person he traveled to is the biggest evil person in the world, bar none.
At this moment, Zhou You thought of Xie Zhi's identity.
A looper, a person who can wildly restart his life more than 30,000 times in the giant moon world without letting himself fall into any form of madness.
How much negative emotions should such a person have accumulated deep in his heart?
All the negative emotions condensed around him in the form of crazy scissors, and how pure an evil thought was this?
A new round of scissor attacks fell on Zhou You again. Zhou You felt no pain, maybe because of the stasis of time, or maybe because the part of the soul that felt the pain had been separated from the world by the crazy scissors.
The divided soul dissipated in mid-air like a wisp of smoke and turned into powder.
"Let me test you on a question, a new question."
The sound of crazy scissors is like a life-seeking evil ghost, floating in the air, seemingly far and yet near.
"Twenty-one, minus three, what does it equal?"
Zhou You wanted to say 19, but he found that he was completely speechless.
But Crazy Scissors’ intention wasn’t to let itself speak either. It was just immersed in some kind of joy of killing. Zhou You could see the black energy that seemed to be substantial. The black negative emotions were constantly superimposed behind the crazy scissors. The black energy is still rampant.
"Oh, I forgot, you no longer have the ability to speak because I cut off your tongue."
Another attack.
"Then I have a new question. Twenty-one, minus four?"
At this time, Zhou You even had no right to see.
Because this time, what the crazy scissors cut was Zhou You's eyes.
Color and light seemed to suddenly disappear, everything was invisible and only pure black remained.
In other words, it is not even pure black, because there is no contrast of white in the world, so the black color is nothing but nothingness.
Then the fifth attack followed, and this time, Zhou You lost his hearing.
Everything that follows has nothing to do with traveling around.
He felt like he was no longer a person, but more like a dead thing that could think.
Perhaps the sixth and seventh attack of the crazy scissors cut off his limbs along with them, but these movements were undetectable.
All that can be felt by Zhou You is endless nothingness.
All nothingness slides into despair.
But suddenly, even the despair was gone.
It was like a pair of scissors cutting off Zhou You's brain.
So the wandering soul is like a square box, floating far away in the spiritual abyss that is bottomless from top to bottom, left to right.
Before all consciousness dissipated, Zhou You's last thought was:
"Yeah, this is death."
Then the TV screen suddenly turned off.
If no accidents occur, by this moment, Xie Zhi has completed his plan to travel through time.
Although Zhou You did not die completely, he lost his five senses, lost his limbs, and lost the connection between his mind and his soul. No matter how great the possibility was in Zhou You, it would no longer be able to affect Xie Zhi's time travel plan, let alone Xie Zhi was pulled back from the earth into the huge moon world.
What Xie Zhi wants is this state between life and death. He doesn't know whether Zhou You can inherit his characteristics as a cyclist, but as long as Zhou You maintains this state forever, he will not truly die, and he will not die. Restart the world in a true sense.
But, the accident did happen.
Wandering around in confusion in that boundless nothingness, in his feeling, maybe a century has passed, maybe only a second has passed, but in short, in all the emptiness, a thunderous voice suddenly sounded in the nothingness. There was an explosion.
Then came the second, third, and fourth, layer upon layer, one after another.
It's like pouring a bowl of cold water into a pot of boiling oil. In an instant, all the water and oil start to beat.
An idea passed into Zhou You's mind.
"Crimson Oath, dead."
Then came the memory, belonging to the Crimson Oath, the memory of the battle with Wang Dazhuo, which was also transferred to Zhou You's mind at this moment.
So Zhou You understood the true identity of the Crimson Oath in an instant, and also understood why Wang Dashui wanted to fight the Crimson Oath, and how the Crimson Oath tried its best to protect its food.
"It turns out that the Crimson Oath is not an independent emotional incarnation. Although it appears in my mind, it has always been Zhang Hongmian's remote control incarnation, and Zhang Hongmian has never died..."
Zhou You finally understood the principle of the Crimson Oath.
It was a remote-controlled incarnation, and it was one of the remote-controlled incarnations with the longest control range in the world.
The Crimson Oath can simulate a variety of different oath states, including the Crimson Oath itself, the controller of the Crimson Oath, a copy of the Crimson Oath, and other forms. It is controlled by the master "Zhang Hongmian" who is far away from the battlefield through multiple threads, and is completed at the same time. Different behaviors.
Zhang Hongmian does not need to provide any detailed operational requirements to Crimson Oath. He only needs to convey rough behavioral intentions to Crimson Oath, and Crimson Oath will automatically understand Zhang Hongmian's behavioral intentions and ultimately complete these purposes according to its own intelligence.
From entering the illusion of "Zhang Hongmian", to rescuing the so-called Zhang Hongmian from the illusion, to the incarnation of the Crimson Oath appearing in his soul palace, to being able to fight with the power of the incarnation of the Crimson Oath, and finally to Until the Crimson Oath exploded into miniature spiders all over the sky, and continued to fight with Wang Dazhuo, these were all the real masters of the Crimson Oath - Zhang Hongmian, who didn't know where he was at this moment, responding to a remote command issued by the Crimson Oath. Kind of instruction!
Why has the Crimson Oath never been completely eliminated by anyone? Why can it still be read despite the fact that the copy of Mental Illusion has been there for so many years and has long exceeded its shelf life? This is precisely because Zhang Hongmian never had it from the beginning. She has died, and she has never even participated in any real battle!
No one can find Zhang Hongmian's true body, because for them, they don't know that Zhang Hongmian still has a true body, and all the status they usually see related to the Crimson Oath are false. .
Zhang Hongmian’s purpose is to find more high-quality nutrients for herself. She will pretend to be a dead senior Superman, find qualified candidates from among tens of millions of superhuman candidates who can copy the Crimson Oath from their mental illusions, and plant the second incarnation of the Crimson Oath in their hearts. , and then slowly ate away at them until they could no longer leave the Crimson Oath, and their minds became an empty shell that was difficult to think about.
Like an empty cocoon after being eaten by a spider.
"It turns out that Zhang Hongmian is not even called Zhang Hongmian. She has thousands of names..."
At this moment, Zhou You finally understood that he had been ridiculed again.
Originally, Zhang Hongmian thought that Zhang Hongmian was his only comfort after coming to this world. The communication between the heart and the heart in the spiritual illusion was one of the few moments where Zhou You could feel the warmth since he came to this world. But now, Zhou You finally Understand, and this kind of warmth, are all fake.
Everyone approaches themselves for the sake of profit.
Everyone's identity when approaching them is just a bait set to better deceive themselves.
"..."
Zhou You wanted to sigh again suddenly, but he had lost all five senses and limbs, and had no consciousness. Even the reshaping of memory this time was accompanied by the explosion of the Crimson Oath. At this moment when he wanted to sigh For a moment, this flashback gradually dissipated.
Deep in his heart, negative emotions continued to accumulate, multiplying exponentially, but there was no outlet for all the negative emotions, because at this time, Zhou You no longer had any way to vent.
He is going to die.
And the way he died was probably no one in this world who died in a more miserable way than him - he was sliced to death with twenty-one cuts by crazy scissors, just like those who were cut on the eucalyptus board. Salmon into sashimi.
"..."
But, at this moment, a new voice came from deep in his heart.
The voice seemed to appear suddenly, vaguely but clearly appearing in Zhou You's heart.
"Coward."
Zhou You didn't hear clearly.
But he heard the voice.
"What did you say?"
Zhou You was stunned because he realized that this voice came from himself.
"I said you are a coward."
said the voice.
Zhou You's eyes suddenly lit up.
No, it can't be said to be "lit up", or, to be more accurate, it is "dark".
Because Zhou You firmly realized that what appeared in front of his "eyes" at this moment was not a ray of light.
It was a shadow darker than all darkness. That shadow was darker than the deepest darkness in the entire world.
The shadow turned towards him, and Zhou You saw abyss-like eyes on the shadow's face.
"Have you never thought about taking revenge on them?"
The shadow opened its mouth, and a sound came out of the dark mouth. The sound fascinated Zhou You.
"Who are you?"
Various doubts appeared in Zhou You's consciousness, but in the end he sorted out the subconscious question.
But the shadow didn't respond to him, and just continued to say it again.
"I'm talking about you."
"Have you never thought about taking revenge on them?"
The huge shadow stretched out its hand towards Zhou You.
Wandering around in a daze, at a loss.
"How can I retaliate against them?"
The shadow laughed.
"We can destroy the world."
"you and me."
The huge shadow held Zhou You's hand.
At this moment, Zhou You finally knew the name of the shadow.
It is the embodiment of your own emotions.
I should call him...
"Boiling Blood".
