Gongsun Ce felt that he was falling. He was surrounded by the red color of filthy blood and wine, and beneath him was an endless abyss.
Countless streaks of wild blood danced wildly in the wine, like abstract murals. Gongsun Ce drank the blood wine in the Holy Grail, but it was just in his heart
"Performance". The real golden cup is still in Gongsun Ce's arms. The essence of his action is to activate the power of the dirty golden cup and infect himself with the negative emotions in the blood and wine.
This familiar feeling is like being eroded again by Master Red's angry sky. The Holy Grail of Defilement is indeed the weapon that Master Red created for herself, and it is almost completely consistent with her in some aspects.
If he continues to fall like this, he will be directly overwhelmed by the negative wave. Therefore, Gongsun Ce observed his surroundings with surprising calmness, looking for the emotions that suited him from each painting.
Reflected in the mural are the most profound silhouettes of the past, like photos made worse by demons.
Among them, there was Gongsun Ce who stood in the corner and watched Alandia and Mo Yuankai, there was Gongsun Ce who wasted his time in pursuit of pleasure, and there was Gongsun Ce who was boasting and attracting attention. That was his jealousy, laziness, and vanity.
Gongsun Ce knew the authenticity of these feelings, but he paid no attention to them and abandoned them. These are not the subjects he is looking for, what he needs is a
"Start" is the beginning of creation. At this time, a familiar picture came into view. In the picture, there was a young child with black hair.
Gongsun Ce struggled to get out of his fall and stretched out his hand towards the mural. A moment later, he came from the bloody cliff to the inside of the scene.
It was a narrow and dark car, with two men in official uniforms sitting on the back seat, one on the left and one on the right, with a silent child sandwiched between them.
The young Gongsun Ce didn't say a word at first, but then he was unknowingly stimulated and shouted violently to the people around him.
His face was covered with a black-red shadow, like a monster roaring in the human world.
"..." The real Gongsun Ce stood aside and observed quietly. Until the scene changed, from the escort ship to the airship of that year.
There were three people in his cell, but most of the time the boy sat silently. Only in rare moments did he speak to communicate with Caldesia and Aurus, and that communication quickly turned into cold sarcasm and quarrels.
Gongsun Ce looked at all this with an almost detached attitude, and he quickly finished watching the original accident.
After that, the boy and Maho were locked in a cell, apologizing constantly; the boy wandered around in the chaotic sky city, fighting everywhere; the boy circled a place for himself and lived alone... During the review process, Gongsun Ce felt the detection from the outside. , like a knock on the door in my heart.
He refused with silence and watched all this alone until the scene settled on a cloudy afternoon, where the young man sat alone deep in an alley.
His eyes were so cold and sad, like a wounded lone wolf.
"Don't say anything and pretend to be an expert. Do you think that's cool?" Gongsun Ce muttered,
"I had expected it, but it was a bit embarrassing to see it. One of the deepest negative emotions I feel is... loneliness." In fact, you don't need to look further to understand.
For young people who trust others around them, the most profound feelings are loneliness and power. Gongsun Ce, who has telekinesis, does not feel help like ordinary children, but the power itself exacerbates his isolation.
His path began with this emotion, and it has been accompanying him as he grew. Even if he later met many friends, even if he now had someone he loved, the loneliness would never completely leave him.
Loneliness is like a shadow, like a thorn, like an invisible ghost. Its real source is the loneliness of thought.
It will only be erased by alleviation, because there are always some thoughts and ideas that cannot be spoken to others and can only be endured silently by oneself.
"It would be quite unsightly to make something like this." Gongsun Ce knelt down and looked at his original self.
"But after all, creation requires true feelings. No matter how bad the writing is, it is still mine." Gongsun Ce smiled, patted the boy on the shoulder, and absorbed all the contents of the murals into his hands.
All experiences and memories were stripped away by him at this moment, leaving only the purest information, some transparent and colorful information that seemed not to really exist, like phantoms.
"Lonely". Gongsun Ce mobilized the power of spiritual light and combined it with the cocoon obtained after stripping the cocoon.
"Loneliness" and his mind combined, and a gray stream of light gradually appeared in his hand. Now he has created a crude
The "move" is a lonely missile. This power has no form. Once it hits, it will destabilize the enemy's mental state, let the flow of information penetrate into the enemy's heart, and dominate the opponent with lonely emotions.
"It sucks." Gongsun Ce commented,
"There is no construction at all. In essence, it is still using the power of mind to smash holes. Yan Qi will laugh to death if he sees it." Mental attacks are not in line with his fighting style at all, and the output efficiency of pure strength + mind is too low.
He needs a more efficient expression, turning moves into tools... weapons... trying to access the library of memes and find materials.
Gongsun Ce released his spiritual light. He no longer limited his thinking to his body and heart. He began to extend his consciousness outwards, just like a world-creating envoy expanding his world.
This time he had a different
"Concept", the world showed him another look. His consciousness went beyond the bedroom, beyond the Morning Star, to the high, high clouds.
What he saw was no longer pure matter and energy. The exhaustive flow of information spread across the world like light, presenting a colorful and unclear picture, like looking up at the magnificent urban night sky from the bottom of the deep sea.
Those colors are memes that do not actually exist. Different types of memes have different thoughts.
"color". Gongsun Ce instinctively realized that some information was extremely difficult or even impossible for him to use. That was bias.
The "positive" flow of information, glory and justice, love and courage, loyalty and tenderness...and the other part of the information surged towards him like a moth seeing a candlelight, which was anger, hatred, deception, hypocrisy, Killing, destruction...the information in his vision was black and bloody, making him feel a kind of familiar feeling.
Black and red memes swirled around his thoughts, like ministers coming to pay homage to their king.
Quiet. Get in line. Gongsun Ce needed to speak out, and as soon as his thoughts emerged, he completely controlled everything without spending any energy.
He examined the resource library at his disposal and began to search carefully for the memes he needed. Loneliness is not strong enough, not fast enough, it is hidden, dark, and a message that is difficult to detect.
It should not be used to make weapons for frontal combat, it is more like a needle or a knife...
"A kind of hidden weapon..." Gongsun Ce plunged into the huge resource library, and his rough thinking, search and screening process gradually took shape, becoming perfect and substantial.
He quickly found the meme he needed, which was the hidden weapon he was most familiar with and something he had dealt with countless times - a cross-star-shaped iron piece with a round hole in the middle, the shuriken most commonly used by ninjas!
Gongsun Ce grabbed it excitedly, and a cluster of gray nirvana appeared in his hand, integrating the lonely missile, which was only in prototype form, into the shuriken.
He carefully weaves the texture of this hidden weapon
"Effect" is like writing an important core backbone in the article, and the appearance and size of the shuriken are constantly changing in the process.
Sometimes it ignites like a wild fire weapon, sometimes it scatters dust like a thunderous weapon, and finally its back half is connected to a bloody iron rope, which is very similar to the shattered huge shuriken.
present
"Lonely Armed Forces" has completely changed its appearance. It is no longer the indescribable mass of moldy power, but has a tangible and clear shape: an iron-grey cross-star shuriken, about half the size of an ordinary person's fist, with a hole in the center. There is a blood-colored iron rope connecting it to the side of the user's left arm.
This shuriken looks very inconspicuous, and even if you concentrate on observing it, it is easy to ignore its existence, but it is sharp and sharp, meeting all the requirements for a concealed weapon.
Gongsun Ce stroked the iron piece. This was his first
"work". He made a new seal, named it, completed the power, then closed his eyes and returned to the normal world.
·
"I'm done! I'm done!" Gongsun Ce jumped out of bed almost impatiently. He shouted excitedly, wanting to run out of the room as soon as possible to announce the great news to everyone.
What prevented him from completing this series of actions was the second person in the room. Rei Shigure was standing next to his bed. The distance between him and the person who had just jumped out of bed was close enough to give him a kiss.
"What have you become?" Shigurei frowned angrily,
"You have nothing to do but look back at the painful past. Are you sick? The people around you are making a lot of noise. I... Hey, are you okay?" Gongsun Ce responded.
A moment after returning to the real world, another emotion replaced joy and occupied his body and mind.
It was loneliness like a sea wave, and the coldness and darkness at the edge enveloped his soul, as if it had been frozen in ice for thousands of years and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
That emotion was better than any pain he had ever felt. It was like poisonous insects biting at his sanity. The pain and tearing nearly caused him to collapse completely.
"Hey! Gongsun Ce! Wake up..." He couldn't wake up anymore. He desperately grabbed the nearest warmth beside him and cried bitterly in the light that illuminated his loneliness.
·It took about ten minutes for Gongsun Ce to finally regain his senses. He lay on his bed and hugged the woman in his arms tightly.
There were still wet tears on his face. Shigurei slept with him in the same bed, and his face was as red as when he was white.
"You idiot?" Shigurei grunted.
"Crying like a child." Gongsun Ce took a few deep breaths and gradually calmed down.
"I just created a move, and the core message I used is loneliness." He tried to explain,
"The process was very smooth, I finished it in one go, and then when I woke up...those feelings suddenly spread in my heart, and I simply...I couldn't help it, I felt like I had become the child I was back then... ..." Rei Shigure sighed: "It's a common problem. The magical power you cultivated is too strong and affects you too much. That is, if your spiritual light intensity is high enough, it would be a precursor to malignancy before it was released. I say you are really sick and addicted to self-abuse. What's wrong? You have to use your own painful experience as the material for your moves. You're afraid that it won't affect you deeply enough and you'll go crazy fast enough, right?!" Gongsun Ce smiled sarcastically, and listened to her scolding for a long time. When she said she was tired, she said, "Did you knock on the door just now?"
"Nonsense, you clearly walked most of the way with me. I will definitely know when we are so close and look back on this past." Shigure Rei rolled his eyes.
"It didn't affect your progress, right?"
"I thought I was you. It's not difficult to do two things at once." Rei Shigure struggled, his head bulging on his shoulders.
"Hurry up and let go when you're in good condition. Don't take advantage of it! It's too hot! The indoor temperature is 26°C and I'm still wearing regular clothes!" Gongsun Ce hugged him tighter, like a child who doesn't want to let go.
"One more," he whispered,
"Please." Shigurei stopped complaining, stretched out his hand slowly, and hugged his weak lover.
"This is the first time I've seen you cry... you didn't cry when you were attacked by a sneak attack, you didn't cry when you were about to die in battle, you cried when you developed new skills..."
"I rarely cry. The last time I saw you cry, this time we are even." Gongsun Ce smiled and said,
"When I was young, I liked to keep any sad things in my heart. It seemed that being cold-faced was a sign of maturity. I was afraid of others' ridicule... Now I don't care about that anymore. It would be better to cry when I feel sad."
"Oh." Shigurei stroked his gray hair.
"Thank you for accompanying me, Sister Witch."
"Humph." She wanted to say something arrogant and mature, and wanted to take the opportunity to smile at her lover who was so weak, but her tone softened unknowingly when she spoke.
"Sister Witch will always be with you. Who asked her to be by your side when she was most sad?" After walking out of the room, Gongsun Ce realized that the sun had just risen, and he had spent another whole day without knowing it. sky.
He spent about half an hour calling his relatives and friends, and successfully received a compliment from Caldesia who was woken up in the middle of the night, a joke from Shigure-kun, a warning from the doctor, and a complaint from his elder brother.
"Are you poisonous, A Ce? I worked out all day and finally got to bed, so I couldn't sleep for more than an hour when I was woken up by your phone call."
"On a whim, I gave you a call and thank you." Gongsun Ce smiled.
"Hey, do you want to sleep on the bed or the sofa now?"
"Sleep on the floor!"
"It's so miserable, brother. I told you more than a year ago that if you really can't find a doctor to help you get liposuction, you should just give up."
"You think I don't want to? A sudden change in body shape and self-perception will cause big problems. It's not good to do this."
"Then why do you eat fat?"
"Shut up!" Mo Yuankai screamed,
"By the way, I'll take this opportunity to give you a mission. When you go to the Wooden Machinery State, remember to visit Dadalion Biological Company. Dr. Baioli Dadalion over there was the mentor of Cecil's crazy woman. Come, let’s see if we can get her help this time...” Gongsun Ce listened to his elder brother’s instructions and nodded: “Understood! I promise to complete the task! By the way, elder brother, please see if there is anything cool in the past two days. Send me a copy of the weapon concept drawing for material reference." Mo Yuankai exclaimed in a strange voice: "Wow, the Dawn Knight is really a clever plan."
"ah?"
"It's okay. I'll send you tomorrow. I'm going to bed." Gongsun Ce grabbed the phone and boarded the deck while whistling.
The eldest lady was doing her morning exercises in the sunshine as always. Qiluo was wearing an apron and was cooking today's breakfast using a portable gas stove and pan.
She fried the marinated beef, took it out, stirred it with the egg liquid in a bowl, and fried it into a fragrant beef omelette, then put two slices of fried toast together to make a sandwich. People have quite an appetite.
Gongsun Ce quickly grabbed the newly baked sandwich and bit off half of it in one go. The salty and fresh juices of the fried beef blend perfectly with the aroma of the egg pancake, and the crispy bread provides a rich layer of texture, especially suitable for replenishing energy early in the morning.
He devoured two of them, grabbing the ice lemon tea on the side before the greasy feeling hit him, letting the sour and cold tea drink neutralize the heat of the fried food.
Gongsun Ce drank half a cup of tea and sighed with satisfaction: "This egg nugget is really cooked." Miss Qiluo put her hands on her hips: "Humph~ The tea restaurant in my hometown only costs 28 yuan for meal A, but Most of the stores over there use canned beef.”
"Sure enough, the beef cooked on site is more flavorful."
"But the taste of canned corned beef is smoother and easier to use." Qin Qianbai pointed out,
"It's an ingredient that Shigure Rei can also use." Kirara laughed dryly: "Shigure Rei would just eat the canned food and white bread..."
"...the law is negated." Gongsun Ce silently said
"Teach the witch sister to cook" he wrote in the memo in his mind, drank the frozen lemon tea, and stood still on the deck. He raised his finger at the eldest lady and said, "Do you want to see Mr. Gongsun's achievements in my practice?"
"Let me see the performance of the new normal method." Gongsun Ce flipped his wrist and took out a gray shuriken from nowhere.
Qin Qianbai could see clearly in his eyes that this was not a weapon made of white matter like in the past, but a weapon created out of thin air like the void phase method.
"Take a good look." Gongsun Ce reminded. She concentrated on observing the hidden weapon, but found that the way the shuriken was stored was extremely strange, like a phantom or an illusion, making it difficult for her to see.
"Clear"...wrong! Qin Qianbai realized that the shuriken had been launched at this time, and it dispersed like dust in the process!
The warrior's intuition made her react in an incredible instant. Qin Qianbai reached out her hand to the side and pointed her fingers at an empty object. The rapidly rotating shuriken suddenly appeared at the same time and was caught between her fingers!
She raised the concealed weapon and saw Gongsun Ce's proud smirk. The gray-haired young man clenched his left fist, flexed his index finger, and made a brand new gesture.
"Du Xiang Seal·Lone Shadow Ghost Slash." The gray shuriken suddenly became thin and merged into Qin Qianbai's arm like a phantom!
A bloody iron rope extended from the place where the shuriken merged, and connected to the side of Gongsun Ce's left arm, firmly connecting the two people together.
Qin Qianbai flew out of the ship on tiptoes, hoping to rely on physical distance to free himself from the shackles of the Duxiang Seal. But when she reached mid-air, she realized that she couldn't close the distance again. It was not a simple force restraint, but a higher level of 'ability'.
The blood-colored iron rope was like the gravitational force pulling the stars, tightly combining her with Gongsun Ce! Qin Qianbai stopped in the air and thought: "Is this a move that will absolutely restrain the opponent after hitting it?"
"Correct answer!" Gongsun Ce snapped his fingers.
"The so-called loneliness is ideological isolation, which is a concept that can only be established by 'independent existence'. If the lonely existence is touched by others, its foundation will no longer be established."
"That is to say..." Qin Qianbai thought about it and said,
"If you defend yourself against the shuriken, it is equivalent to establishing a connection between the 'I' as the other and the 'lonely being'. Since I personally broke the concept of loneliness, this connection cannot be dissolved." Gongsun Ce raised his hand and pulled the girl back like a kite.
He untied the shuriken and caught the girl floating from the sky with his own hands.
"And due to the isolating nature of loneliness itself, this thing cannot be captured during launch, that is, you can only catch it if your intuition is ridiculously strong. How do you evaluate it?"
"It's very A Ce-style moves. It's such an awkward idea." Qin Qianbai commented,
"But what should I do if I'm dodged?"
"This thing is based on the premise of 'hit'. If it is dodged, it is just an invisible weapon." Gongsun Ce said,
“I’m also thinking about ways to improve in the future.”
"Ce, I suggest you try changing 'Hit' to 'Perception'." Airandia walked out of the cabin,
"Existences perceived by others cannot become truly isolated individuals, because the essence of observation is another kind of contact." Gongsun Ce put down the girl in his arms and nodded in admiration.
Alandia walked up to him and observed the regenerated shuriken.
"Excellent idea, Ce. You are a well-deserved genius in the practice of regular methods." Dawn Knight praised.
"It's because the teachers teach well." Gongsun Ce pushed up his glasses.
"I don't know if it's an illusion. I feel like my aura has become...stronger in the process?"
"Developing moves is the best exercise in itself. I want to develop one more move, and you will be able to initially master your own spiritual method. After that, we can start the work of repairing the Holy Grail and the course of constructing complex spells."
"It sounds like I still have a lot of classes, I'm really looking forward to it." Gongsun Cexu leaned on the power railing and watched the girls sharing sandwiches and lemon tea. Shiyu secretly grabbed Qin Qianbai's share at the dining table. There was a lot of excitement in the previous episode.
He looked at it with satisfaction for a while, then an idea suddenly came to his mind.
"I said, Alandia. I remembered a little reasoning I did four years ago."
"about what?"
"About you. At that time, I thought you had a high position and a rich income. Why did you want to share a room with Orianna? You didn't need to find an entourage or assistant, right? I was just a young boy at the time. She likes to use her own thoughts to figure out others. I think Dawn Knight might be a person who is very afraid of loneliness, so she will use various ways to live with others."
"The conclusion is correct. Loneliness is one of the most common emotions that humans feel. Regardless of age and status, everyone will feel lonely." Alandia's tone sounded like a psychological lesson.
"Only when you know how to channel your emotions in the right way can you face life with a calm attitude." Gongsun Ce looked at the woman's eyes, and there was no trace of embarrassment or shame in them.
He thought that everyone would feel lonely and lonely, just like everyone has sadness and anger. Thinking from this perspective, perhaps negative information is closer to human beings than positive information, because there are more pains than happiness in life.
Negative emotions are common and positive feelings are rare.
"It turns out that everyone is a rabbit who is afraid of loneliness. He will feel lonely when he is alone." Gongsun Ce stretched his body and said,
"So it's better for us to be with others. If we have someone to accompany us, we won't be afraid of being lonely!"
"Living in groups for a long time can easily lead to dependence."
"So, I'm already very dependent on you." Airandia nodded: "Me too."
"Yeah... ah? Huh??" Alandia walked towards the dining table with a chuckle. Gongsun Ce stood in the sun and touched the back of his head blankly.
His body and surroundings were warm, and the cold loneliness had long been unable to invade his life.
