"I have no idea."
The silver-haired girl gave an answer that everyone expected, but what was rare was that after clearly saying she didn't know, she gave some opinions of her own.
"However, obsession is obsession, and the purpose of the residual soul is to complete the obsession. As for what exactly the obsession is, does it make sense to you?"
The silver-haired girl looked at Kael quietly.
But if someone is in the mirror and observes carefully, they will find that what is reflected in her heterochromatic pupils is not Kael, but a strange figure. The figure was clinging to Kael, his eyes closed tightly, as if he was sleeping. There were broken holes everywhere on his face, and the essence of soul power continuously poured out from these holes and flowed towards Kael.
Oh, the obsession is so strong.
The silver-haired girl lowered her head and frowned, sighing softly in her heart, and then spoke again: "Compared with these, what you should pay more attention to is the future choices. To achieve his obsession, it is better to restrain the impulse in his heart and defy his obsession. read."
After the silver-haired girl finished speaking, her eyes were still fixed on Kael. It can be said that she has spent more time with Kael than anyone else...except for Angel, of course.
Moreover, her words actually exceeded the limit.
In Jon's words, it's a superficial relationship but not a deep one.
Kael is also confused now. Before he came to the underground sewer, he never thought that his love of exploring ruins was influenced by others. He always thought it was his own hobby. Although the shadow of the remnant soul in the mantra book made him a little suspicious before, it was not confirmed after all.
Now the words of the silver-haired girl actually brought Kael back to reality from the bubble of beautiful fantasy.
No matter how much of his exploration of the ruins was out of hobby and how much was due to the influence of the remnant soul, after all, part of it was not from his heart.
Under such circumstances, should he continue his journey of exploring the ruins?
Do you want to start with "traveller" and end with "traveller"?
Kael didn't know how to make a choice at all, and looked at Doakes with a confused expression.
Doakes was the person who knew him best among the people present, and the only one he could rely on and expect was Doakes.
Doakes also saw the entanglement in Kael's heart. He thought for a while and said: "This is not something that needs to be decided immediately. The future is still long. You will not make a decision ten years later or a hundred years later. It will be late."
As soon as Doakes finished speaking, before Kael could react, the silver-haired girl's voice came out: "No, his time is running out."
"What do you mean?" Doakes looked at the silver-haired girl in confusion.
"The remnant soul cannot exist forever. As the parasitic host becomes more and more powerful, its existence time will become shorter and shorter. Therefore, it is almost impossible to make a decision ten or a hundred years later. Unless, he starts from today Start to stop practicing.”
What the silver-haired girl said is indeed true. Even if everyone knew that Kael had a remnant soul before, they basically didn't pay much attention to it. Because the remnant soul cannot affect Kal-El, who has a complete extraordinary soul, it will eventually dissipate.
After it dissipates, it will be meaningless to talk about the obsession with the remnant soul.
However, if you know clearly that the remnant soul will disappear, and then taste the silver-haired girl, you will find that she does not seem to be objective in her narration.
Angel: "You seem to want him to choose the obsession of achieving the remnant soul?"
When giving gifts to others, the silver-haired girl stated things from an objective perspective, but when it came to Kael, she had her own subjective opinions.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say. Because they don't know the silver-haired girl's position, it's best to break through this layer now and see what the silver-haired girl says? Why is she concerned about this? What position does she take?
Every time Angel asked, the silver-haired girl would remain silent for a long time. It was the same this time. She stared at Angel for a long time before whispering: "Because...the bond."
"A bond again? What does a bond mean?" Angel asked in confusion.
This is the second time Angel asked "What is a tie?" The first time, her answer was "time and body are the bond."
But this time, there is no temporal body in Kael, so why does the bond appear again?
What does a bond mean to her?
The silver-haired girl didn't seem to want to answer, and wanted to turn her head many times, but every time she made a move, Angel's expression would change slightly.
She knew very well that Angel was interpreting her behavior.
Just like she interprets other people's behavior through the reflection of her heart.
After hesitating for a while, she finally spoke: "A bond is a kind of connection. Everything you do will be connected with the surroundings, connected with people, objects, space, and time... Everything is connected as long as you do something.”
“Whatever you get, you pay accordingly.”
"Whatever you consume will be replenished on the other side."
"All these things require bonds, and this bond also maintains... fairness."
It was rare for the silver-haired girl to say so many words at once, but these words were very obscure and not many people present could understand them.
Angel understood it, because the silver-haired girl was talking about a world view, and he happened to hear Jon mention it before.
Moreover, Jon also mentioned this cognitive concept very frequently, namely: cause and effect, or causality.
What you sow, you reap. This is the most straightforward explanation of cause and effect, and in a sense, it is indeed a conceptual "tie".
According to the theory of cause and effect, what the silver-haired girl means is that there is a cause-and-effect connection between Kael and the remnant soul.
To go further, she gave an example before: you get what you pay for.
This seems to imply that Kael has benefited, so he has to pay the price for it.
Angel roughly understood the position of the silver-haired girl. She was probably a supporter of this cognitive view of cause and effect, so when he saw Kael's situation, he naturally took the position of the need for cause and effect to circulate. Talk about things.
But then again. Kael's situation aside, what does temporal body have to do with ties, or cause and effect?
Her three temporal incarnations correspond to Doakes, Black Earl and Angel...could it be that they use the temporal incarnations to establish bonds?
And what Tokishen did was actually quite inexplicable - asking them to answer questions?
According to the so-called bond logic, could this be to force a causal link between them and the time body?
The current body is the "doppelgänger" of the silver-haired girl, which means they have established a causal relationship with the silver-haired girl?
Angel didn't know if his guess was correct. When he was about to ask, the Black Earl next to him spoke first.
"You mean, Kael has benefited from the remnant soul?"
It can be seen from the Black Earl's question that he also understood the extremely obscure words of the silver-haired girl.
The concept of silver-haired girls is not mainstream in the wizarding world. This concept is more suitable for use in a society with stricter order and rules. However, the Black Earl's experience was there. Even if the silver-haired girl deliberately said something unclear, he could extract the truth from those unnecessary words.
"Of course, it is not easy for the remnant soul to influence the will of the parasitic host." The silver-haired girl nodded and admitted: "For many years, he has been delivering the power of his own soul to the host. This is what he has paid. The price, through the little willpower in these souls, gradually affects the host's concept."
Doakes: "If that's the case, then when Kal-El obtained the power of soul, wasn't his willpower also affected? Isn't this considered even?"
The silver-haired girl shook her head: "That's not the case. He can become a transcendent, perhaps because of his remnant soul."
Doakes frowned: "Is there any evidence for this?"
The silver-haired girl stopped talking and was too lazy to pay attention to Doakes. She probably also saw Doakes's ways. As long as he wanted to excuse himself, he could dig out all the details and talk about it. He only needs to open his mouth and say something, but someone else has to prove it, and the cost is completely different.
Although the silver-haired girl only hit the mark, Angel roughly summarized the situation.
Regardless of whether Kael became a gifted person or not, it was due to the residual soul. But the remnant soul is still conveying the power of the soul to this day. This should be true.
She had made it clear before that the stronger Kal-El was, the faster his remnant soul would disappear.
But even so, the remnant soul is still sparing no effort to help Kael become stronger and fulfill his obsession, even if it completely dissipates.
From this point of view, Kael did take advantage of the remnant soul.
The silver-haired girl felt that if Kael got this benefit, he would have to pay the price for it.
I won’t comment on whether this logic is correct or not, because it is a matter of her personal concept and it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.
The silver-haired girl looked at Kael who seemed to be even more confused at this time, and said again: "How to choose is up to you. However, I want to remind you, can his will really completely control your thoughts? It might as well be. think for a while."
After finishing speaking, the silver-haired girl stopped looking at Kael.
After Kael heard the last words of the silver-haired girl, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought for a long time...
At this time, the silver-haired girl finally looked at Angel.
For a moment, everyone was silent, and the air rarely became so silent.
Although Kael's matter is very interesting, it is only Kael's personal matter after all. Compared with these, they are still more concerned about the silver-haired girl's gift to Angel.
You know, the silver-haired girl skipped Angel before!
Moreover, the silver-haired girl's previous incarnation, the bunny girl Laplace, threw away the mask without giving Angel any test.
Also, the silver-haired girl paid unusual attention to Angel.
These details aroused everyone's curiosity. They were really curious, why was Angel treated so seriously by the silver-haired girl?
Yes, it is solemn. Not only Doakes thought so, but others could also see that the silver-haired girl was obviously much more serious than others when treating Angel.
what is this?
While everyone was full of curiosity and waiting for the silver-haired girl's words, the silver-haired girl sighed deeply.
It was the first time they'd seen such a reaction on her face.
"I failed."
Everyone and Angel: "???"
Silver-haired girl: "Laplace cannot form a bond with you."
At this point, the silver-haired girl once again took out the mask made of old stone. She looked down at the mask and shook her head: "The mask has established a bond with you, but it does not reflect anything in my heart. A gift."
"So, I failed. I couldn't use any method to observe you. This also means that I couldn't complete the request that the wise man made to me."
At this point, everyone also understood why she kept skipping Angel. It was not that she was unwilling to analyze Angel, but that she was simply unable to analyze him.
It's like a gourmet recipe suddenly pops up in an analysis book full of magic patterns. You can understand the title, but not the inner meaning.
The silver-haired girl raised her head and stared at Angel: "So, can you tell me why?"
Angel did not answer immediately because he was also digesting what the other party said.
Can't form a bond? In other words, causation cannot be established? Does he have such ability?
You know, according to the silver-haired girl, even the Black Earl has established a bond, why can't he establish it?
As for the green pattern causing trouble, Angel doesn't think...that's the case.
Does he really have such a talent? Or is there something in him that obscures the bond the other party talks about?
Angel thought about it carefully and finally summarized several possibilities.
He ranked them from least likely to most likely.
First of all, let’s talk about green lines. After all, the green pattern has its irreplaceable specialness.
But Angel never felt any movement in the green pattern from beginning to end, so in his opinion, the possibility was the smallest.
Next is the source of fire.
Needless to say, the origin of the fire is special, so there is a slight possibility. But if it was really because of the Source Fire, wouldn't it be true that all the source worshipers of the silver-haired girl wouldn't be able to see the bond? Because once the source fire is ignited, all source worshipers will be able to detect it and be protected by it.
There are too many things related to the Source Worshipers in the underground waterways. If it is really related to the Source Fire, the silver-haired girl should be able to detect it.
In addition to the source of fire, Angel also thought of Blood Night Asylum.
This one is a cloak that protects against prophecy, and it incorporates a little gift from the Time Thief: it can ward off the gaze of the legendary wizard.
Although it was only a one-time use, it also brought Blood Night Asylum's anti-snooping capabilities to an unprecedented level.
Therefore, Bloody Night Asylum is also possible. Of course, the premise is that the silver-haired girl's so-called "heart reflection" ability is related to prophecy.
Next is the wilderness of dreams.
The core power of the Dream Wilderness lies in his thinking space. In a sense, he is also the master of a small world. In this capacity, might it be possible to resist the connection of the bond?
The above is Angel's rough guess.
In addition to these possibilities, Angel also thought of another one: the Eye from Beyond the Sky.
However, the Outer Eye is too low-key. Except for showing its specialness when the planes merge, at other times it is basically no different from ordinary mortal objects.
Therefore, the Eye from the Sky is an alternative.
If you really have the ability or item to resist the bond, you may still want to start with Green Pattern, Source Fire, Bloody Night Shelter, and Dream Wilderness.
