Wang Yang flew out of the corridor with a livid face, with black resentment on his face. He ran recklessly through the corridor and flew directly towards the outside of the federal building. Now he just wanted to follow his nature and tear up a few living things. People, drink their blood.
"Calm down, calm down." The gentle and cowardly boy's voice sounded in his mind, "She is deliberately trying to anger you. Kania must know that you are easily affected by this topic, so there is no need to let your nature control you."
But at this moment, Wang Yang didn't want to pay attention to the voice in his head, and flew directly out of the tall building. Just as the voice he heard said, it was impossible for Kania not to be aware of the irritability and resistance she was already feeling, and she must have known about the continuous stimulation. It was easy for him to show his true nature, but this made him even more reluctant to restrain himself.
Because even though he was affected by resentment at this time, he could still vaguely judge Kania's purpose of doing this. Her purpose was not to really make herself lose control. She knew that she, who had been taught by Shenxiao, could actually regain her control. Return to sanity.
Before meeting Shen Xiao, he and Wang Yin were in such a state of almost crazy bloodthirsty, no different from the rumored resentful spirits. If anyone dared to mention anything that made him unhappy, he would follow his own The bloodthirsty killed them brutally this year.
It wasn't until they met Shen Xiao that they regained their sanity.
But even if they had just met Shenxiao and had been forced to calm down, if they heard what Kania said, they would definitely tear her into pieces like hungry beasts, regardless of their own life or fate.
Even though he looks so much like a living person now, he is still essentially a dead person full of resentment. He was brutally killed by the evil alchemist many years ago. He is able to act now because of the powerful power guided by that alchemist. of resentment.
If he really gave up his resentment, he wouldn't be able to survive.
This is the real him.
"Even if you kill a few people, what will change? Don't forget what she taught you." The boy's voice sounded again, "We don't want to live like monsters. Even if we want to satisfy our own nature, we can't just pursue the lowest pleasure. .
"Now that you've come this far, don't give in to your nature."
Wang Yang still ignored his auditory hallucinations. In fact, the reason why he was more angry was because he might not be able to escape Kania's plan. She repeatedly mentioned the past things between Shenxiao and herself just to be full of resentment for him. In fact, This is also something that can't be helped.
Under normal circumstances, as a resentful spirit, it is impossible for him to answer such a question, because it will only arouse his resentment. The resentful spirit will not face up to his contradictory thoughts, as if they have never accepted that they have The fact of death.
Only when he really falls into this state will he face the thing that he most resists deep in his heart - the real Shen Xiao in his heart.
"Yes, it is your nature to be easily affected by a few words." The boy continued, "But you can defeat him. If you are still alive, it is impossible for you to fall into this kind of madness because of Kania's few words. You Do you think this is really what you want?
"Of course you can vent your emotions at will now and follow your instincts to make trouble like a child, but you must first think clearly about the ultimate price you will pay for doing so. The future you expect will never come true again.
"You can also choose to think carefully about Kania's purpose in doing this, what you are worried about deep down in your heart, and what she expects you to say."
Wang Yang said dissatisfiedly:
"You are not a real thing at all, just an illusion after I fell into madness."
The boy replied:
"Or I am you - the more rational you. What you hear is indeed just the auditory hallucination of the resentful spirit, but aren't your hallucinations a part of you?
"And even Kania can see that there are things in your heart that you don't want to face. Can you really turn a blind eye?
"Do you want to escape for the rest of your life?"
Wang Yang gradually realized that his hallucinations were actually correct. He also calmed down a little, and the black air surrounding his body became a little dim. Kania's irritation was not out of malice.
At least not entirely.
There are indeed some knots in his heart that are difficult to face, and there is something Kania wants to know hidden in them.
Unexpectedly, the illusion that originally trapped them and led the resentful spirits to kill like crazy would now become an obstacle in front of his madness. What Shen Xiao taught them back then was truly incredible.
Wang Yang, who finally calmed down slightly, began to think about what he didn't want to face.
Is it the state he was in before meeting Shenxiao? Or the help she gave herself? Or maybe you can repay your kindness with revenge...
No, neither.
He had already figured out these things. Although Shenxiao helped him get rid of the instinctive control all day long and expelled those crazy illusions from his mind, there was no need for them to regret their betrayal.
They are the Wraiths—a naturally evil and bloodthirsty race.
Doing good deeds may bring satisfaction to living people, but it will only cause trouble to the resentful souls. Doing evil often brings guilt and guilt to living people, just like Jiang Yuanda who betrayed Shenxiao. , but the resentful spirit will only get pleasure.
So these are not the issues that he is opposed to. What is the real question...
Wang Yang slowly fell into memories, and the fragments of his previous interactions with Shen Xiao began to flash through his mind, trying to find out what he was worried about again from his own memory.
But not only did he not find the reason for his worry, he actually felt a little weird. After he betrayed Shenxiao, he never recalled her in his memory as sincerely as he did now, so it was only now that he vaguely realized that something was wrong.
At that time, many seemingly normal things she did were not very reasonable, but now he could somewhat understand those behaviors that made him and Wang Yin think Shen Xiao was crazy.
The resentful spirit, who was deep in the mire of memory, did not notice that the black resentment on his body became more intense after he calmed down.
"I finally understand what I am worried about." Wang Yang said with relief, "Since I betrayed Shenxiao, I have been worried about her regaining freedom every day and night, and I have been afraid of the punishment that may befall me.
"I think maybe the image of her winning all the battles was so profound that she still didn't react to her defeat."
"You're right, so..." the boy's voice replied, but the tone suddenly slowly distorted, "Do you really believe that I will lose?"
Wang Yang's whole body froze.
A soft yet heavy hand placed on his shoulder, and a calm voice that was so familiar to him that he was frightened came over:
"Perhaps there is a possibility that the worries deep in your heart are not wrong at all, and the reason why you collapse so easily and become resentful is because you have already realized very clearly that this is true. In fact, you are not like It's how vulnerable they feel.
“It’s better to lie to yourself than to live in fear every day, isn’t it?”
He opened his mouth almost tremblingly, but his body could not spit out even a single word.
"Don't open your mouth. I know what you are going to say. You want to say that I am just your illusion, the embodiment of your fear of Shenxiao, and the crazy thoughts that arise due to the influence of resentment. These are all correct. I am not real. The sky of God.
"But how do you know this wasn't what I expected?"
After Wang Yang slowly accepted the fact that she was not Shenxiao, he finally spoke tremblingly:
"I'm scaring myself. You don't exist at all, and you can't pose any threat to me. Now Shenxiao has been completely imprisoned by the Federation. It's impossible for you to retaliate against us..."
Shen Xiao chuckled and said:
"Really? Didn't you hear what the Federation said? They said that I would leave the prison and go to Atlantis soon. If this didn't happen, you could still use this excuse to lie to yourself.
"But now do you still think this is an accident? Have you never thought that this might be in my expectation? Or do you really think that I can't seize this opportunity? Have you forgotten what I have done before? ?”
But Wang Yang was much calmer than just now, and then he could finally say in a normal tone:
"Yes, I am indeed worried about your return, and this recent incident has undoubtedly intensified my fear, but this also proves that you are just a delusion in my panic. You are not at all Objectivity and rationality.”
"Oh? So you think my existence is objective and rational?" she asked somewhat amusedly.
Wang Yang swallowed, then gathered his courage and said:
"That's right, I don't think your complete victory is a myth. You can always win not because you can't lose, but because you are just so strong that you are almost invincible. But when you encounter an opponent who is stronger than yourself, When the time comes, you will naturally lose. You are the same as us.
“And as you once taught me, giving in to fear only makes it stronger.
"I won't kneel down to you either."
Shenxiao said:
"It seems that I did not teach you in vain. You did learn something, but some things can embody truth better than words. No matter what I said at the time, you should have seen the fact - those who do not surrender to me All dead."
Wang Yang unknowingly clenched his fists:
"You are human too. As long as I do the right thing, I can defeat you. Even if you are really the embodiment of Shenxiao's will, your presence here means that my surrender is meaningful to you. You need me to come. Help you out.
"On the other hand, as long as I persist in confronting you, I can prevent your return. Kania has already noticed that something is wrong with me. I just need to inform them of your appearance. The Federation will prevent you from escaping."
Shen Xiao said calmly:
"So this is what you think? Against the world's strongest Level V ability user, and then praying that you can survive, can you explain how you can do things that other Level V ability users cannot do?
"You can choose to refuse to accept the facts, but can you really continue to live after I come out?"
Wang Yang's mind was running at an unprecedented speed:
"Of course, you are just my illusion. I know very well what kind of person the real Shen Xiao is. She will not take revenge on us, not only because she is not as petty as us bad guys, but also because she cares more about the future than she does now. .
"You're not her at all, and you don't understand her. You're not even me, just my fear."
Shen Xiao said with a smile:
"I see, you always thought I was a lunatic, but now you suddenly realize that I will not retaliate against you. Since you think so, you might as well think from another angle. I will kill you if I come out. Do you know why?
"Because I am a prophet, of course I will not kill you because I have a grudge against you. You know I don't care about this, but I think you have learned something about the way I look at things after following us for such a long time, otherwise you wouldn't You may hear this next sentence.
"Shenxiao will kill you just because you don't accept my proposal now
"The reason she 'will' do this is for the sake of our conversation at this moment.
"That's how she sees time."
Wang Yang could understand the meaning of his hallucination, because he knew that Shenxiao was a prophet, so he knew that Shenxiao might indeed take action because he did not accept the hallucination's proposal now, although according to normal people's logic, no matter what she did at that time, Nothing you do can affect the present.
But this is not the way Shenxiao thinks. To her, the past is meaningful, because for Shenxiao, time is relative, and the so-called past can also be the present relative to the future.
"She will not succeed." Wang Yang said, "The Federation will protect me. They made a promise to me when they betrayed you, and you are just my illusion, not the real prophecy of Shenxiao."
Behind him, Shen Xiao laughed out loud:
"This is the most unacceptable thing for you. You are still saying that I am an illusion. Haven't you ever thought about why I found you? Haven't you realized something very interesting?
"It is precisely because of you as resentful spirits that I can penetrate into your mind when my power is completely suppressed. I brought you with me just because at this moment you will fall into madness due to fear, and I I think you actually understand why I do this.
"Because only in this way can I place my own undercover agents within the Federation. When you betray me, the Federation will use various methods to test your determination. If you follow me sincerely, you will not be able to gain the trust of the Federation.
"I am the winner of all battles, do you know what this means...
"Wang Yang, I have never lost before."
The boy's body paused, and then the palm on his shoulder finally disappeared.
He couldn't tell whether this was a prophecy or a hallucination. Considering his fear of Shenxiao and the characteristics of resentful spirits, it was actually quite normal to have such a degree of hallucinations. Shenxiao probably couldn't have predicted that far. The place.
But is this a prophecy or an illusion...
Does it really matter?
