Chapter 203 Another Me

"...I am not a 'Mr. Container'."

Russell was silent for a while, then turned his head slightly and replied in a low voice: "I'm just Russell."

He remembered his previous experience of going to the Reconstruction Agency with the Inferior.

In the eyes of those demons, people are like glass bottles one after another. And their demons reside within them.

It's like a bottle containing a certain medicine - when people call it, they definitely won't call it "a glass bottle containing such and such medicine", but directly call it the name of the medicine inside.

For demons, people are such "vessels" themselves.

Therefore, the sentence "Dead Sun" is still a pun...

It can be understood as a nickname for the "vessel of God", or as the "container containing the devil", which is Russell himself.

"This is just a demonstration."

Bad Ri shrugged, and the cold temperament on his body disappeared again at some point: "It can also be said to be another way to use power.

"According to the company's thinking, if the psychic energy exceeds six levels of redshift, you must erase this part of your own memories and emotions, and then store them in a chip. When needed, use the chip to recall them '.

"It's possible and it's easy. It's something anyone can do to avoid losing control...but it's not a 'traditional' technique."

Bad Sun smiled: "The technology of extracting memories and emotions in a highly concentrated form and making them released by inserting a prosthetic body was only invented in 1187.

"But the 'White Incident' caused by Mammon was as early as 1141. In the intervening forty years, will all psykers turn into demons? They do not have the ability to seal their dangerous memories."

"...So, communicating with the devil is the right way?"

Russell raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is this how you got your code name?

"As far as I know, the code name you originally wanted to give yourself should be 'Evil Sun'."

That was the secret Grandma Lan told Russell.

At the beginning of the Bad Sun, it means "everything in the world that is born with the energy of the sun has a poisonous sting", and compares itself to the "evil sun" and "poisonous sun" that bestows poisonous stings on all things in the world.

But Russell's father had another suggestion... and that was bad days.

The name of this code is called "The Corrupted Sun".

As for the evil sun, it seems that its name is "the decaying sun."

"You mean, you have to go further than your demon? Compared to the purer you, do you think you will be closer to the end now?"

Russell looked at Bad Sun and asked word for word.

Consider yourself purer than the devil.

This is...how arrogant.

"That's right. It's precisely because of this that I will be recognized by the sun."

Bad Day made no bones about it: "Russell, you're too 'normal'. A psyker doesn't need to be this normal.

"Whether it is morality or law, worries about the future or regrets about the past, it will make you subconsciously control your power. Just like if you hammer the door with your fist, you will subconsciously not use all your strength. . This is a subconscious protection of one's own body... This power is the so-called 'blue shift'.

"Because what is harmful to your body is not the fist, nor the door, nor the power of your fist. It is because your fragile body cannot withstand the reaction force, so your 'blue shift' must be controlled Stop your subconscious mind to use all your strength.

"But what if you encounter danger? A dilemma that you must use your strength to solve...for example, a gangster that must be defeated with all your strength. In this case, you can't care about protecting your body. ...The restraint of the blue shift will become weaker. This is the loss of control caused by the red shift exceeding the blue shift.

"Then, if you throw such a powerful punch - what will happen?"

"My body will be injured...Is this losing control?" Russell thought thoughtfully.

"To be precise, it's not that you lost control... but that your personality has been damaged."

Bad Day pinpoints Russell's imperfections.

Like a mentor.

He seriously told Russell, who was entering the migration stage, a secret that he could not possibly know: "It's like your fist is injured. You bleed and have fractures... but the difficulties you encounter in the outside world have not disappeared because of this.

"It might even be that the door doesn't break - you have to hit the door again with all your strength. And then you get hurt more.

“When you are injured to the point where you can’t lift or hold your fist, it’s equivalent to your personality being broken.

"So, let me ask you - your power itself, does it want your fist to be injured or broken?"

"of course not."

Russell understood what Bad Sun said: "Because that would be a damage to itself...I see. So after the psyker loses control, will the demon have to eat people to maintain its existence?"

"Yes... that's exactly it. Because of those who lost control, their souls and personalities were not destroyed by the devil itself. It was because their souls could not withstand the power of the devil and were thus destroyed.

"When the personality is damaged, the devil's power will leak out. Just like a cracked container, water will flow out on its own without pouring water out. That is the devil's cannibalism and loss of control. Because of the use of psychic energy When the time comes, that specific emotion will stand out and become extremely strong like an echo... The more powerful the psychic energy, the clearer this echo will be.

"In fact, any demon has the [potential] to reach the tenth level of red shift from the very beginning. In other words, all psychic powers can theoretically be developed to the limit.

"But there is a process. How powerful psychic energy humans can ultimately brew depends on the intensity of desire and the intensity of emotional fluctuations...which is the so-called 'red shift' intensity. Most people's desires are It's not that strong, so there are three natural chasms named 'Wall of Behemoth', 'Wall of Zodiac', and 'Wall of Leviathan'.

"Every time you cross one, it means you are one step further away from pure 'humanity'."

At this point, Bad Day's voice became colder.

Russell immediately knew that there was a sudden change of character at this time, and it was replaced by "Dead Sun":

"We demons have no soul, so we cannot burst out psychic power on our own. When the host exists normally, we convert it into psychic energy by absorbing certain emotions of the host as pure fuel. Power... just like photosynthesis in plants also requires carbon dioxide to release oxygen.

"But if the host no longer exists, or cannot provide this emotion, we will survive by devouring other people's souls. But other people's souls may not necessarily have the 'specific spectrum' of emotions we need. Or there is, but the purity is not high enough. That is a poor quality fuel for us. Therefore, it may take a thousand people to eat it before it can match the best fuel provided by the host.

“Just because we no longer need to worry about whether the host’s personality can withstand this power, we can fully unleash all the power we have.

"So, how could the devil take the initiative to harm the host? Of course, it is not ruled out that he does not like the host's psychic ability... But if we get along well, we could have become the most trustworthy friends."

At this time, the decaying sun switched back to the bad sun again.

"In fact, you could understand that these inner 'demons' are a kind of symbiote. A special creature that is able to release specific psychic powers by eating specific emotions from humans."

Bad Ri raised his hand and signaled: "You see, Bad Ri and I already have a considerable degree of tacit understanding. He only appears when I need him, so it will not affect my production of 'emotions', nor will My interpersonal relationships will be damaged due to my overly extreme personality. At the same time, I don’t have to worry about damage to my personality due to the use of overloaded power.

"We were the most trustworthy of friends - he was someone I identified with...another me."
