He remained silent after hearing Boss Luo's question.
Luoqiu wasn't in a hurry … Basically, he would be patient with every choice he made.
The waiting process wasn't long.
"You … all of you, what help can you give me?" [Cain] asked slowly.
"What do you want?" Luoqiu asked softly.
He fell into deep thought again. He was like a statue that had existed since ancient times … He didn't move, not even the slightest expression on his face.
The existence of the [Past] also slowed down … Everything in front of him seemed to degenerate from high resolution to low resolution, and then became blurry and rough.
Only the small vengeful spirit didn't change … Luoqiu knew that the pit of corpses outside the cave was also in the same situation — Other than the vengeful spirits of the mutated children who died, everything here was the result of a calculation in [Cain]'s mind.
When it focused most of its attention on thinking about a certain problem, it naturally couldn't take into account the natural changes of the [Past].
After a long time.
[Cain] seemed to be alive all of a sudden. He raised his eyeless face and faced Luoqiu. His sunken eye sockets were like black holes, but Luoqiu could see that in the depths of these black holes, there was something that wanted to emit light.
It was like a spark that lacked oxygen.
"Actually, all these years, I've been thinking about why the [Original Self] wanted me to be born." [Cain] pressed his hands lightly on the table.
Through this touch, the blurry surroundings gradually became clear again.
"I think, maybe it wants me to inherit its legacy." [Cain] paused for a moment, as if he was trying to think of a more reasonable word to use. "Perhaps, from the memories I inherited, there was a hidden command … It wants me to complete what it hasn't done yet."
"Explore?" Luoqiu nodded.
[Cain] nodded, then pointed at his head and said, "Most of the knowledge I have stored here is related to this … apart from that, there isn't much else. In fact, if it hadn't left behind the name [Cain] for me, perhaps even if I was born, I wouldn't have known who I was … In fact, who am I now? "
"I've always wondered." [Cain] shook his head. "This doubt has always made me want to avoid the commands contained within the knowledge in my mind … Then, a new question appeared in my mind. What … am I?"
"So, you never left this place." Luoqiu smiled and said, "You chose to stay where you are … you chose to stop."
"Stop, huh …" [Cain] muttered to himself for a moment before nodding his head. "Perhaps you should say that I've been born with cowardice … but I like your choice of words. So, to be more precise, I should be hesitating to move forward."
Luoqiu said indifferently, "We stop, or even stay where we are, most of the time, just to wait for a better opportunity … Even if we miss it because of hesitation."
[Cain] smiled. "You don't seem like a guy with mysterious power, but more like a person."
Luoqiu said, "Didn't the old mister say that what's accumulated over time is knowledge, not wisdom … Even if knowledge makes one wise, there isn't much of a difference. Seniors seem to be full of wisdom, but there are more seniors who are still ignorant … No one says that those who live for a long time will become smarter than others, and can do what others can't. That's actually a projection of the person's own wishes … Then, there isn't much of a difference whether one has power or not. Of course, this is only my current opinion. "
"You will be refuted." [Cain] smiled. "No matter if it's those who already have knowledge, or those who wish to become such people … Breaking a beautiful assumption is the same as stabbing the other party in the back."
"Then let's not argue." Luoqiu smiled and said, "Besides, maybe in the future, I will overturn this current opinion … Just like how the young me feels that the young me is childish, the mature me will feel that the young me is ignorant. If I really feel ashamed, I don't think I'm any different from the average person. I would probably deny all of this. "
[Cain] didn't say anything, and only lowered his head. Unknowingly, the little wraith had already laid on his lap, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
He reached out his hand and gently stroked the little wraith's back.
Then he raised his head again and said, "If possible, I don't want to inherit all these … I don't want to disappear like this. In fact, I don't have a strong desire to explore the origin. Even if I do, it's probably instilled in me by it. In fact, compared to this kind of illusory exploration, compared to fighting for control of the [Lost Fang] with another newborn [Cain]'s consciousness, I prefer my current life. I once fell into a long period of confusion, and the constant thinking and contradictions made me unstable. It was also during that period of time that the other [Cain]'s consciousness had room to grow … In fact, when it was first born, I was fully capable of destroying it. "
"Why didn't you do that?"
"Give up on myself?" [Cain] smiled bitterly. "Perhaps, I felt that it was more in line with the expectations of the [Original Self] … For example, if my parents gave birth to two brothers, one smart and the other stupid … I think I would be the latter, the one who wasn't expected by my parents, and the one who would only bring trouble. Naturally, I would have the feeling that perhaps without the stupid one, the family would become more perfect. "
"Do you think this is actually an illusion?" Luoqiu asked curiously.
"Perhaps in the future … if there is a future." [Cain] used Boss Luo's words to reply.
Luoqiu smiled and said formally, "Your wish."
[Cain] rubbed the little vengeful spirit's head and said softly, "I don't know if they will grow up one day."
"Only here?"
[Cain] opened his mouth and smiled bitterly. He said self-deprecatingly, "It seems that I don't have much purchasing power … But, thank you for not turning a blind eye to my poverty. In fact, I think I really don't have anything to trade … I'm just a fake. According to the knowledge I inherited, I don't seem to have much value. "
Boss Luo didn't say anything. He just waved his hand and a sheepskin scroll appeared — a blank sheepskin scroll.
After that, lines of words began to appear on it … But the words didn't appear very quickly, as if it was writing and stopping.
You Ye knew that this was her master drafting the contents of the contract — Normally, the contents of the contract would be automatically generated after both parties discussed … The altar would give the most accurate regulations.
It wasn't forbidden for the boss to draft the contents of the contract … But, when the transaction volume reached a certain level, it would naturally be more efficient and save more time.
Miss Maid's current owner was still okay. He didn't immerse himself in a huge amount of transactions … If it was the previous owner, the previous owner wouldn't even have time to be absent-minded due to the amount of work involved in drafting the contract.
"Old mister, this is the contents of the contract. If you don't have any problems, do you have any dissatisfactions?"
Finally, the words on the sheepskin scroll completely stopped appearing — Luoqiu placed it in front of [Cain].
[Cain] had lost his eyes, but when his hand touched the sheepskin scroll, his consciousness had already imprinted the contents of the contract.
After a long time, [Cain] slowly sighed, "I think, for me, it's enough of a privilege … If there really is such a day, I think, I don't mind."
As he spoke, he directly imprinted his palm at the bottom of the sheepskin scroll … Then, the sheepskin scroll spontaneously combusted and disappeared into the air.
"Then, please wait for a moment."
Luoqiu stood up and nodded at [Cain] with a smile. Then, he left this [Past] with Miss Maid.
…
When they returned to the [Present], they were still in the residence of the Red Dragon Skeleton. Miss Maria was still lying on the ground … Actually, not much time had passed, probably only a moment.
The little vengeful spirit was gone … It had returned to its [Past].
Boss Luo waved his hand so that Miss Witch wouldn't lie on the ground. Then, he walked out of the residence of the Red Dragon Skeleton with Miss Maid.
The ceiling was covered with vines and fibrous roots like mud, completely submerging the entire corpse pit, leaving only a small space in the residence.
Luoqiu looked around and finally fixed his eyes on a direction — After that, Miss Maid sensed something.
He raised his hand and waved out black flames … The Fire Crows were like two black phoenixes, instantly burning out two long passages in the sea of vines and fibrous roots — Not long after, something rolled out from the passage.
They were the Golden Dragon, Buzzby who called himself [Norman], and the young girl, Mina.
There were many small wounds on their bodies … One could vaguely see the blood flowing out from these wounds. Of course, they had different physiques.
The Golden Dragon's wounds healed almost instantly, while [Norman]'s recovery was slower … The young girl's wounds didn't change much.
But they were all fine.
But at this time, the surrounding vines … or rather, the entire corpse pit began to shake.
Above, the intertwined vines and fibrous roots began to wriggle and twist. They were like lines … Finally, a huge face became three-dimensional from a flat surface, protruding from the top … It was angry.
Roar.
Countless vines became sharp at this moment. Thousands of them directly pierced down from this huge 'face'.
Luoqiu just looked at the huge angry face with a calm face.
Miss Maid just grabbed a ball of black flame when these sharp thorns came, and threw it out … The black flame that could ignite anything directly burned the moment it touched these thorns, and then it shot up … The huge face above was outlined by the black flame more vividly.
As a last resort, the huge face had to directly fall off the burning places.
A large amount of ashes fell from above, like black snow … At the same time, its angry roar became more and more terrifying.
"It seems that although this guy was born from [Lost Fang], it didn't inherit much of [Cain's] knowledge … Or, the one in the cave still has some reservations."
Luoqiu nodded, looking indifferent.
At this moment, he raised his head and looked at the huge face. He said indifferently, "I'm very sorry, we didn't mean to disturb you while you were eating … It's just that it might be faster to call you out like this … We were just asked by someone to discuss something with you. Basically, another [You] wants to get out of this body, and at the same time, you promise that you won't have any thoughts of harming or devouring it. "
There was no response. The huge face just roared again, and then it released more sharp thorns from the huge face. At the same time, blood-sucking vines that looked like long worms drilled out from the ground.
It was like a group of demons dancing wildly.
Luoqiu shook his head and looked at Miss Maid, "It seems that we need to let it calm down to have a better discussion … How long will it take?"
Miss Maid smiled sweetly and said, "Be violent, it should be fast … Please give me ten seconds, my master."
"If it's over …" Luoqiu joked, "Let me help you take care of your body tonight? Of course, if it's not over … I'll let you dress up again, how about it? "
"Ya." Miss Maid chuckled, "It's really … a troublesome choice."
With that, You Ye took out a pocket watch … She opened the cover and put it in her master's hand, and then said softly, "Then, let's start from this second."
The second hand began to move to the first square … Miss Maid didn't move, just looked at her master's eyes.
Until the second hand moved to the third square, Miss Maid slowly stepped back.
The fourth square, one step.
The fifth square, two steps.
The sixth square, turn around.
The seventh square, a black flag appeared in Miss Maid's hand.
The eighth square, Miss Maid raised the black flag in her hand, and black fire lotuses bloomed around. All the vines in the whole corpse pit were instantly calcined into ashes, like black snow sprinkling down.
The ninth square, a figure fell from the ashes … His body was still burned by the black flame.
The tenth square … Miss Maid turned around, and the black flag was held behind her back. She bent forward slightly, and said softly, "If you want to take care of it … Why don't you wait until tomorrow?"
