The answer from the old man made Miss Maid slightly surprised … Under the situation where her master blocked her perception, it was difficult for her to make the most accurate judgment based on the current information.
Boss Luo seemed to like to see the appearance of something that could embarrass Miss Maid, and then make a puzzled expression … He still didn't have any intention to release the shield — of course, he was like that himself.
It was like a small game played by couples, where they looked at each other and competed to see who couldn't hold back their laughter first, or who couldn't help but blink first.
Maybe it seemed a little unrestrained … but after the origin behind the club granted them the true meaning of immortality, they probably had the capital to be unrestrained.
Quietly looking at Miss Maid's rare thoughtful expression, Luoqiu couldn't help but want to take out the camera to take a good picture of her at this moment. But he was afraid that he would miss this rare moment if he fiddled with the camera.
Or … let his eyes remember.
"You … are the reborn consciousness of [Cain]?" This was the question You Ye asked after thinking … She seriously looked at everything about the old man in front of her.
The old man nodded and then slowly said, "Originally, when I was passing through the dimensional crevice, I encountered an unprecedented terror … Now, I have almost lost all my memories of that period. I only vaguely remember that terrifying name … Void Asura."
"[Void Asura]?" Luoqiu thought — He had met the creature of [Void Original Demon], and the core material of the reconstruction of the Club's Black Soul Envoy's body was the [Source of Foreign Body] extracted from this creature.
"The current me knows nothing about [Void Asura]."
The old man shook his head, "The original me fell into this sub-world. Fortunately, this sub-world also had the legend of [Me], so the original me exhausted the last of my strength to embed [Me] into part of the history of this world, and then completely disappeared. As for the current me, I was born from this part of history, and I inherited part of the original me's knowledge and memory. Of course … I also inherited the memory of the transaction with you. Come to think of it, this part of the memory was left behind because the original me felt that it was necessary to remember it, right? However, the [Current Me] doesn't know if the [Original Me] deviated or hid anything when I left it behind. "
Old man … When [Cain] said this, Boss Luo understood what was going on.
[Cain]'s reincarnated consciousness was theoretically similar to Nan Xiaonan and 24's experience. In fact, both of them were guests from another world.
"You... so you're actually also exploring the world's end?" Luoqiu asked curiously as he thought of the ultimate goal of these individuals who had broken through the limits of various sub-worlds.
The old man … The current [Cain] gave a definite answer.
…
While figuring out the old man's identity, the boss and the servant girl also followed his footsteps and went deep into the end of the cave — a mud hut that looked quite shabby.
But before they arrived, there were already other people here — the descendants of the ancient race who lived in the past — a woman who looked like she was about to give birth, and her man.
When the man and woman saw the return of the old man, they quickly came forward and thanked the old man … After expressing their gratitude, the man supported the pregnant woman and left — from the beginning to the end, they acted as if they didn't see any unfamiliar guests.
"In this past, I acted as a kind of person, a kind of guide." After the man and woman left, the old man smiled slightly and said, "I taught them about childbirth, life and some small knowledge. Usually, if they encountered any difficulties, they would come to me. "
Luoqiu said with interest, "Like the role of the wise man in the village."
"I've just lived a little longer and seen a lot more things." The old man said rather casually, "Although the long river of time can't increase the original intelligence of an individual, or even if the increase is quite small, only knowledge can be accumulated endlessly."
"Aren't you curious about me?" Luoqiu asked suddenly.
After recognizing the servant girl's identity, the current [Cain] didn't ask about the other person — Luoqiu's inclination, which made Luoqiu more interested.
The old man just smiled slightly and said, "It's not the time to be curious … Right, I want to entertain the two of you, but I need you to completely understand the 'past' here, otherwise, I think we can only talk."
In fact, it was like a screen … Luoqiu and the servant girl were always in front of the screen, and the 'past' was the content of the screen — [Cain] was the main body of the screen.
The 'past' here was actually a world in the consciousness of [Cain] — because it was fictional, it was completely different from the life in the pit of corpses described in the animal skin diary.
The path of the escapees from the [Farm] who lived in the pit of corpses was also completely different from the life in the [Screen].
Luoqiu didn't hesitate at all. After lifting the servant girl's hand, he slowly took a step forward — this step was like breaking through a layer of invisible membrane, and he and the servant girl entered the world of the [Screen].
There was no change at all … But in this' past ', he and the servant girl already existed.
As if feeling this existence, the present [Cain] began to slowly boil water to brew tea in the mud hut. "Try these … According to the memories of the [Original Me] that I inherited, these tea leaves came from a rare plant in a world that was almost covered by the sea. Of course, it doesn't exist, but this is only the world of consciousness … So if it's the taste, it should work. "
Just as [Cain] began to brew the tea, the servant girl flicked her finger slightly, and a black flame formed a few words in front of Boss Luo.
[Soul], [Power].
Luoqiu immediately understood the hint from the servant girl — [Power] was the thing that the former [Cain] traded, and [Soul] was the thing that the former [Cain] gave.
But Luoqiu didn't see [Cain]'s name in the account books of the customers who hadn't arrived yet. As for the account books that recorded countless transactions, Boss Luo hadn't continued to look at them for a while. At most, he would just look up when necessary, or randomly flip through a few pages when he remembered.
Whether it was the former [Cain] or the Club, the transaction between them had been completed. When the former [Cain] accidentally fell into this sub-world and died, his soul had been automatically entered into the account book through the contract … This was probably before Luoqiu took over the Club.
As for the current [Cain], it could be said that the current [Cain] and the [Cain] that had completed the transaction were two different entities of consciousness. Even though the current [Cain] had the name of [Cain] and even inherited a lot of [Cain]'s memories, its essence was more like an incomplete copy.
Or perhaps … Perhaps the former [Cain] created another form of continuation for himself that was about to dissipate … It had consciousness but didn't have a soul, yet it could think on its own.
Luoqiu was more inclined to think of the present [Cain] as a program that had the same thinking pattern as the former [Cain], part of his memories, and then carried out complicated calculations under these predetermined settings … Strictly speaking, the present [Cain] was just a fake.
He couldn't help but think of the [Soul Engineering] that was born in a destroyed sub-world that Miss Maid had mentioned before.
…
After tasting the tea from another sub-world, Luoqiu glanced at the little vengeful spirit hiding behind [Cain]. The little vengeful spirit was now looking at each other timidly.
Boss Luo smiled faintly. "By the way, old mister, you just said that there seems to be some difference between you and the [Lost Fang] … You can't control the [Lost Fang] now, right?"
The present [Cain] was silent for a while … He seemed to be thinking and deciding whether to disclose his own information. He muttered to himself, "According to the memories I inherited, even if it doesn't mean anything, you seem to have the ability to know everything … It's not advisable to hide it."
In this way, Luo Qiu felt that the current [Cain] was just a program with the thinking patterns, memories, and even emotions of the previous [Cain]. The feeling was getting stronger and stronger.
Finally, the old man nodded and said slowly, "The [Lost Fang] was a name given by the vampires that lived on this world. In fact, it's just a body that didn't rot after the death of the original [Cain]. Strictly speaking, although I inherited the name [Cain], I'm actually more like its descendant. Originally, I also had the control over the [Lost Fang], but after some time, the part that I can control has begun to weaken. "
Luoqiu thought for a while and said, "Because of the 13 clans that lived on this body?"
The old man nodded. "As I said, there are some legends about [Cain] in this world … In fact, there are many legends about [Cain]. He's not necessarily the ancestor that the 13 clans in this world think … The original [Cain] was actually more willing to admit that he was the first child of Adam and Eve, the sinner that he exiled and couldn't be killed by others."
He shook his head, seemingly unwilling to mention this part. "Because [Cain] in this world has always been a vampire, when the original [Cain]'s existence was embedded in [Cain], its body automatically underwent some changes due to the rules of the world's will … In other words, it became a form of expression that was in line with the history of this world. Hmm … Generally speaking, we call this transformation the [World's Instability]. "
"We?"
He nodded. "It's just something that some people from different worlds met on the way of exploration and researched in their spare time. At first, it was proposed by a guy named [Archimedes], and then it gradually spread … I heard that he later joined a large-scale exploration group called [Transcendents], right? "
Shaking his head, the old man said indifferently, "In fact, the original [Cain] didn't really meet him. Although the original [Cain] also received an invitation from this group, he didn't join in the end … In fact, from my point of view, maybe the original [Cain] should join a group because maybe this way, when the original [Cain] encounters that great horror, he won't be in danger of dying."
"In contrast, you might not appear," Luoqiu said softly, "If he exists, you won't exist … Are you willing?"
The old man said indifferently, "I heard that you are very good at making others fall into difficult choices … It seems to be true."
"I'm sorry, I'll be careful," Luoqiu said apologetically.
The current [Cain] shook his head and didn't mind. Instead, he continued the previous topic. "… Among the 13 clans, there's a ritual called [Sacred Blood]. Through this ritual, they want to awaken the consciousness of the [Lost Fang] because they believe that the ancestor isn't dead, but just asleep … Because the [Lost Fang] is alive, at least its body is still alive."
"They succeeded," Luoqiu said coldly.
The old man sighed. "You can say that … For many years, the endless blood that was injected into the [Lost Fang] through the [Sacred Blood]'s consciousness contained too many distracting thoughts. These distracting thoughts included the desires and hopes of the vampires from the 13 clans, as well as the hatred and despair of being sacrificed … In the end, all the distracting thoughts merged into a new consciousness. Not only does it share the [Original Self]'s remnant like me, but because it was created by the original vampires of this world, it is even more in line with the [Cain]'s form in the legends of this world. Hmm, counting the time, the next [Sacred Blood] ritual of the 13 clans is about to arrive, right? To be honest, if this ritual happens a few more times, maybe I'll be devoured by it … After all, compared to me, it's closer to the [Unstable State] of this world. "
"Another newborn body of consciousness?"
The old man smiled bitterly. "It's asleep … It's also because it's asleep that I can slightly control the current [Lost Fang]'s body … It's probably because it's too close to the legends of this world. Like the vampires, it likes to sleep. Through sleeping, it can integrate the distracting thoughts in its body and make itself purer … Basically, as long as I don't show any signs of fighting with it for the [Lost Fang] and just move my body a little, it won't care about me. After all … compared to it, I'm too weak. "
"Do you plan to continue like this until it becomes stronger and then devour you?" Boss Luo smiled and asked softly.
[Cain] smiled bitterly. "I didn't pay attention at all … You still gave me the choice."
