Chapter 2776 The Remnant Soul's Obsession
"I don't know."
The silver-haired girl gave an answer that everyone expected, but what was rare was that after clearly saying that she didn't know, she gave some of her own opinions.
"However, obsession is obsession, and the purpose of the residual soul is to complete obsession. As for what obsession is, does it make sense to you?"
The silver-haired girl looked at Kael quietly.
But if someone looked in the mirror and looked carefully, they would find that what was reflected in her heterochromatic pupils was not Kael, but a strange figure. The figure clung to Kael, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be in a coma. There were broken holes all over his face, and the essence of soul power continued to flow out of these holes and flowed to Kael.
Oh, the obsession is really strong.
The silver-haired girl lowered her head and frowned, sighed softly in her heart, and then she spoke again: "Compared to these, you should pay more attention to the future choices. Achieve his obsession, or restrain the impulse in your heart and defy the obsession."
After the silver-haired girl finished speaking, her eyes were still fixed on Kael. It can be said that the time she spent on Kael has exceeded that of everyone else... Of course, except for Angel for the time being.
Moreover, her words have actually exceeded the limit.
In Jon's words, it is not good to talk about deep things when you are not close to each other.
Kael is also confused now. Before he came to the underground waterway, he never thought that his love for exploring ruins was influenced by others. He always thought it was his hobby. Although the shadow of the residual soul of the Book of Truth made him a little suspicious before, he had not confirmed it after all.
Now the words of the silver-haired girl have really pulled Kael back to reality from the bubble of beautiful fantasy.
No matter how much he explores the ruins out of hobby and how much he is influenced by the residual soul, there is still a part that is not from his heart.
In this case, should he continue his journey to explore the ruins?
Should he start as a "traveler" and end as a "traveler"?
Kael has no idea how to make a choice and looks at Dox blankly.
Dox was the person who knew him best among those present, and he could only rely on and expect from Dox.
Dox also saw the entanglement in Kael's heart. He thought for a while and said, "This is not a matter that needs to be decided immediately. The future is still long. It won't be too late for you to make a decision ten or a hundred years later."
As soon as Dox finished speaking, before Kael could react, the voice of the silver-haired girl came out: "No, he doesn't have much time."
"What do you mean?" Dox looked at the silver-haired girl in confusion.
"The residual soul cannot exist forever. As the host it parasitizes becomes more and more powerful, the time it exists will become shorter and shorter. Therefore, it is almost impossible to make a decision ten or a hundred years later. Unless he stops practicing from today."
What the silver-haired girl said was indeed true. Even if everyone knew that Kael had a residual soul before, they basically didn't care too much. Because the residual soul can't affect Kael, who has a complete extraordinary soul, and it will eventually dissipate.
After it dissipates, it will be meaningless to talk about the obsession of the residual soul.
However, knowing that the residual soul will disappear, if you savor the words of the silver-haired girl, you will find that she does not seem to be objective in her narration.
Angel: "You seem to hope that he will choose to fulfill the obsession of the residual soul?"
When giving advice to others, the silver-haired girl completely stated things from an objective perspective, but on Kael, she had her own subjective opinion.
It is hard to say whether this is good or bad. Because they don't know the position of the silver-haired girl, it is better to directly point out this layer now and see what the silver-haired girl says? Why does she care about this matter? What position does she hold?
Every time Angel asks, the silver-haired girl will be silent for a long time. This time is the same. She stared at Angel for a long time before whispering: "Because...bond."
"Bond again? What does bond mean?" Angel asked puzzledly.
This is the second time Angel asked "What is bond". The first time, her answer was "time body is bond".
But this time, Kael didn't have a time body, why did a bond appear again?
What does bond mean to her?
The silver-haired girl didn't seem to want to answer and tried to turn her head many times, but every time she moved, Angel's expression would change slightly.
She knew very well that Angel was interpreting her behavior.
Just like she interpreted other people's behavior through the reflection of her heart.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally spoke: "Bond is a kind of connection. Everything you do will be connected with the surroundings, connected with people, connected with things, connected with space, connected with time... Everything, as long as you do something, it will be connected."
"What you get, you will pay the corresponding price."
"What you consume, you will make up from another side."
"All these things require bonds, and this bond also maintains... fairness."
It's rare for the silver-haired girl to say so many words at once, but these words are very obscure, and not many people present can understand them.
Angel did understand, because the silver-haired girl said a kind of worldview cognition, and this cognition happened to be mentioned by Jon.
Moreover, Jon also mentioned this cognitive concept very frequently, that is: cause and effect, or cause and condition.
What you sow is what you reap. This is the most straightforward explanation of cause and effect. In a sense, it is indeed a conceptual "bond".
According to the theory of cause and effect, what the silver-haired girl meant is that there is a cause-effect connection between Kael and the residual soul.
To go further, she gave an example before: what you get, you pay for it.
This seems to imply that Kael got the benefit, so he has to pay for it.
Angel roughly understands the position of the silver-haired girl. She is probably a supporter of this causal cognition, so when he saw Kael's situation, he naturally stood on the position that cause and effect need to be cyclical.
However, speaking of this, let's not talk about Kael's situation for the time being. What is the relationship between the time body and the bond, or cause and effect?
Her three time bodies correspond to Dox, the Black Earl and Angel... Could it be that she used the time body to establish a bond?
And what the time body did was actually very inexplicable to let them answer questions?
According to the so-called bond logic, is this to force a cause and effect relationship between them and the time body?
The time body is the "clone" of the silver-haired girl, which means that they have established a cause and effect 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 got benefits from the remnant soul?"
From the question of the black earl, it can be seen that he also understood the extremely obscure words of the silver-haired girl.
The silver-haired girl's concept is not mainstream in the wizarding world. This concept is more suitable for a society with stricter order and rules. However, the black earl's experience is there. Even if the silver-haired girl deliberately said it unclearly, he extracted the truth from those redundant words.
"Of course, it's not that easy for the residual soul to influence the will of the parasitic host." The silver-haired girl nodded and admitted: "For many years, he has been transferring his limited soul power to the host. This is the price he paid. Through the limited will in these soul powers, he gradually influenced the host's ideas."
Dox: "If that's the case, then when Kael gained soul power, wasn't his willpower also affected? Isn't this even?"
The silver-haired girl shook her head: "It's not that way. His ability to become a transcendent may also be due to the contribution of the residual soul."
Dox frowned: "Is there any evidence for this?"
The silver-haired girl stopped talking and was too lazy to pay attention to Dox. She probably saw Dox's way. As long as he wanted to make excuses, he could dig out all the details to make a fuss. He only needed to open his mouth to talk, but the proof had to be provided by others. The cost was completely different.
Although the silver-haired girl only mentioned it briefly, Angel roughly summarized the situation.
Whether Kael became a gifted person was due to the contribution of the residual soul or not, let's not talk about it for now. But the remnant soul is still transmitting soul power so far, which should be true.
She had previously clearly stated that the stronger Kael is, the faster the remnant soul will disappear.
But even so, the remnant soul is also doing its best to help Kael become stronger and fulfill its obsession, even if it completely dissipates.
From this point of view, Kael did take advantage of the remnant soul.
The silver-haired girl thinks that if Kael gets this benefit, he will have to pay the price for it.
Whether this logic is right or not is not evaluated, because it belongs to her personal concept problem, and it is difficult to say whether it is right or wrong.
The silver-haired girl looked at Kael, who seemed to be more confused, and said again: "How to choose is up to you. However, I want to remind you that can his will really completely control your thoughts? Think about it."
After speaking, the silver-haired girl stopped looking at Kael.
After hearing the last words of the silver-haired girl, Kael lowered his head and fell into a long contemplation...
At this time, the silver-haired girl finally looked at Angel.
For a moment, everyone was silent, and the air rarely became so quiet.
Although Kael's story was interesting, it was only Kael's personal story after all. Compared with these, they were more concerned about what the silver-haired girl's message to Angel was.
You know, the silver-haired girl had skipped Angel before!
Moreover, the silver-haired girl's former body, the rabbit girl Laplace, did not give Angel any test before throwing out the mask.
Also, the silver-haired girl's 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 was serious. Not only Dox thought so, but others could also see that the silver-haired girl was obviously more serious than others when treating Angel.
Why was this?
When everyone was full of curiosity and waiting for the silver-haired girl's message, the silver-haired girl sighed deeply.
This was the first time they saw such a big reaction on her face.
"I failed."
Everyone, Angel: "???"
Silver-haired girl: "Laplace cannot establish a bond with you."
At this point, the silver-haired girl took out the mask made of old stone again. She looked down at the mask and shook her head: "The mask did establish a bridge of fate with you, but it did not reflect any message in my heart."
"So, I failed. I can't observe you in any way. This also means that I can't complete the request made by the wise man 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 couldn't analyze it at all.
It was like a gourmet recipe suddenly popped up in a book full of magic patterns. You can understand the title, but you can't understand the connotation.
The silver-haired girl raised her head and looked at Angel: "So, can you tell me why?"
Angel didn't answer immediately because he was also digesting what the other party said.
Unable to establish a bond? In other words, unable to establish cause and effect? 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?
If it is said that the green pattern is at work, Angel thinks... not so.
Does he really have such a talent? Or is there something in him that obscures the bond mentioned by the other party?
Angel thought about it carefully and finally barely summarized several possibilities.
He ranked them in order from low to high probability.
First, we have to talk about the green veins. After all, the green veins have their irreplaceable special features.
But Angel didn't feel any movement from the green veins from beginning to end, so the possibility was the smallest in his opinion.
Next is the source fire.
Needless to say, the source fire is special, so there is a little possibility. But if it is really because of the source fire, then wouldn't the silver-haired girl be invisible to all the source worshipers? Because once the source fire is ignited, all the source worshipers can detect it and get its protection.
And there are too many things related to the source worshipers in the underground waterway. If it is really related to the source fire, the silver-haired girl should be able to detect it.
In addition to the source fire, Angel also thought of the bloody night shelter.
This is a cloak to prevent being prophesied, and it incorporates a little gift from the time thief: it can resist the gaze of the legendary wizard.
Although it is only a one-time thing, it also makes the anti-spying ability of the bloody night shelter reach an unprecedented level.
So, the bloody night shelter is also possible. Of course, the premise is that the so-called "heart reflection" ability of the silver-haired girl is related to the prophecy.
Next, it is the Dream Wilderness.
The core power of the Dream Wilderness is in his thinking space. In a sense, he is also the master of a small world. With this identity, maybe he can resist the connection of the bond?
The above is Angel's rough guess.
In addition to these possibilities, Angel also thought of one, which is: the Eye of the Sky.
However, the Eye of the Sky is too low-key. Except for showing its specialness when the plane merges, it is basically no different from ordinary mortals at other times.
Therefore, the Eye of the Sky is an alternative.
If there is really an ability or item to resist the bond, it may still be necessary to start with the green veins, source fire, blood night shelter and the Dream Wilderness.
