A small space formed by the walls of several houses. A gap in the wall that can only be passed sideways connects it to the street outside.
There was an extinguished bonfire in the middle, with three blankets and a large number of daily necessities scattered around.
This is a treasure shared by several homeless people and the home they rely on to make a living.
However, now they have lost their lives.
One person's throat was slit and he fell face down on the bedding, with blood staining most of the bedding; one person had a stab in the back and was lying on his back with blood smeared on the ground; and another person had a knife inserted into the back of his neck until there was no handle. The dagger fell in front of the crack in the wall.
It was in this environment that Varina regained consciousness.
"Why am I here?"
He sat against the wall and rubbed his forehead with his hands to relieve the throbbing headache while recalling what had happened.
"By the way, I'm going to kill Kent..."
"That mirror!"
When he thought of the mirror, Varina naturally recalled information about it.
"Mirror of Companion":
Source: Formed by a young "listener" who lost control;
Function: Listen to the ravings of the true Creator and awaken the fallen personality of the person reflected in the mirror;
Negative effects: People are dominated by feelings of emptiness and loneliness, and desire to be filled and satisfied;
Sealing method: Be accompanied by someone close to you who is recognized by the mirror, for at least one hour a day.
"Huh? This is...how do I suddenly know this?"
Varina rubbed his forehead and suddenly realized, "By the way, I got it from gibbering."
The ravings of the true Creator not only contain extreme madness, but also contain a lot of knowledge.
"But I only got the information about that mirror? Isn't this such a loss?"
After resting for a while, Varina felt much better and was able to observe the surrounding environment carefully.
Only then did he realize how much important information he had missed in his quick glance when he woke up——
Three dead people were lying on the ground!
After a simple inspection, Varina's face turned pale, "It seems I killed them?!"
"My dagger is still around his neck."
He felt heavy in his heart, and he couldn't believe the ironclad facts at the scene.
"How could I kill them? I shouldn't have!"
Varina murmured in his mouth, wandering around in this small space for a long time, repeatedly digging through his memories, and finally determined one thing.
He lost his memory for a while.
He took out his silver pocket watch from his trouser pocket and found that it was already past nine o'clock at night.
In other words, he lost nearly two hours of memory.
Varina analyzed the clues at the scene and concluded that he should have passed by the roof. When he found it safe, he jumped down, killed the three people, and then fell into a coma.
He didn't know how he escaped Kent's residence or how far he ran, but he wanted to go back to determine the situation.
Activating his lightness ability, Warina jumped onto the roof of a roof over 6 meters high by repeatedly jumping off the wall twice, and observed his location.
With his excellent eyesight, he quickly saw the river embankment in the distance, and then he found Kent's residence.
Not far from here.
Varina estimated that if he ran in a straight line from the roof, he could complete the distance in less than ten minutes.
After standing on the eaves and hesitating for a while, he decided to go back and check the situation first.
…
More than ten minutes later, Varina returned to the homeless hiding place where he woke up.
He found nothing at Kent's residence, not even the full-length mirror, so he had to find a tool and come back to collect the body.
Varina buried them right in the middle of the clearing.
…
At eleven o'clock, Varina returned to his residence.
After running for such a long time at night, he finally got rid of the sticky state in his head and regained some ability to think.
He summarized it and guessed a general course of events:
During the time when I lost my memory, another personality should be controlling the body's movements. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether he was able to appear through the power of that full-length mirror.
Apparently, he saved himself and killed the three homeless people.
What else happened in the Kent residence, and why the full-length mirror disappeared, is completely unclear.
Because of this incident, Varina was on guard against awakened memories and personality for the first time.
Why is Yu Yue's personality so indifferent?
Is he really myself?
Wariner compared his own experience with Klein's and discovered a huge difference that he had overlooked -
When Zhou Mingrui's possession came, the original Klein had already shot himself, but he did not.
He awakened his memory in his sleep!
So, if the Klein in the story is mainly Zhou Mingrui, then who is he?
Half Varina and half Yuyue?
Varina who absorbed Yu Yue's memory?
There is another question, what are the special abilities brought by Yu Yue, those awakening abilities?
There is no answer to this question.
In the end, Varina only came to one conclusion——
He is not that indifferent person who has no regard for life, nor does he want to become that indifferent person.
Therefore, he must find a way to prevent a situation like today from happening again.
He reflected on his gains and losses in this incident.
First a huge lesson.
The initial cause of this incident was that he did not abide by the first acting rule he summarized.
He took it for granted that this kind of lowest-level gang would not involve the supernatural, so he didn't make any decent preparations at all.
This not only put him in danger, but also killed three innocent passers-by.
The second is the progress of potion digestion.
Varina could feel that this incident had caused most of the "Assassin" potion in his body to be digested, leaving him just a little short of complete digestion.
This must be the change brought about by killing those three innocent passers-by!
Varina therefore concluded a code of acting that he was not so convinced of——
"Assassins" should disregard life and death and be ruthless with their swords...after deciding on the target to kill.
He did not dare, was unwilling, and could not be truly indifferent, so he added a precondition to this code.
Varina vaguely felt that as long as he could understand one more key, he would be qualified to be promoted to the "Instigator" of Sequence 8.
There is also the knowledge gained from babbling.
The information in the full-length mirror was just incidental information he got from the babble. What he really gained was extraordinary knowledge about spiritual communication.
Although he doesn't gain new abilities as a result, his strange "connection" skill has been enhanced.
Varinar can now create connections between himself and others, allowing him to peer into their thoughts.
Of course, this is a two-way ability. While he is spying on others, others can also spy on him in reverse, so this ability should be used with caution.
After some careful thinking, Varina decided to fine-tune the previously made plan with a sense of crisis.
In order to achieve his goal, he needs to be more radical.
