Chapter 44: Self-Examination
Liu Yang's mentality gradually recovered. He looked at the evil ghost in front of him and remembered that Li Yue had said that he should not be touched by evil ghosts.
After calming down, he said to the weathered ghost:
"Stop!"
However, as a weathered ghost that has fully recovered, Liu Yang's words alone obviously cannot stop it.
The weathered ghost is still slowly walking towards Liu Yang.
Seeing that saying one sentence has no effect, Liu Yang immediately became a little anxious, and then continued to say:
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
"Stop!"
He said it four more times, a total of five sentences, in other words, he superimposed his supernatural power five times.
You know, the power of superimposing five times is not weak even for Li Yue.
So, the weathered ghost that was originally walking towards Liu Yang slowly stopped at this time.
"Stop!"
Suddenly Liu Yang superimposed it once more. It turned out that he was worried that it was not safe enough, so he superimposed it again to strengthen the insurance.
At this time, the weathered ghost, which had not moved, now stood completely in place, like a sculpture.
At this time, Liu Yang also slowly exhaled.
After all, except for the time when he became a ghost rider in a muddle, this was his first time to face a fierce ghost at close range.
From the time Li Yue released the weathering ghost to the time Liu Yang froze it, less than five minutes had passed.
Li Yue watched the whole process, and he was very satisfied to see Liu Yang change his mindset so quickly, after all, his team would not leave any waste.
Although Liu Yang's ability was very good, if he couldn't even pass this level, then even if Li Yue didn't say anything now, he would gradually marginalize him in the future.
Now seeing Liu Yang's performance, Li Yue was very satisfied with his vision.
Li Yue's figure appeared in front of Liu Yang again.
Liu Yang was a little proud at this time, after all, he subdued a fierce ghost, how could he not be proud.
However, Li Yue didn't want him to underestimate the horror of the fierce ghost, because to underestimate the fierce ghost was to play with his own life.
So Li Yue poured cold water on him:
"Why are you so proud? This evil ghost is originally very weak, and your ability has greatly improved with my help.
If you can't even subdue such a weak ghost, then you might as well commit suicide directly, so as not to embarrass me."
Sure enough, as soon as Li Yue said this, Liu Yang's proud expression froze, and slowly regained his composure again. He knew that Li Yue was right.
Li Yue saw that Liu Yang had come to his senses, and did not continue to attack him. Instead, he praised him a few words.
"But it's not bad to be able to do this for the first time facing an evil ghost."
I don't know when Li Yue actually learned the routine of hitting a stick and giving a red date.
Although he complained like this, I have to say that this trick is really useful.
At this time, Liu Yang was held tightly, and he was still grateful for Li Yue's teachings.
At this time, Li Yue began to carefully check the state of the weathered ghost.
After his inspection, he found that the weathered ghost was only affected by Liu Yang's supernatural power and temporarily immobilized. Once attacked, this state would be broken and the weathered ghost would wake up again.
Even if the weathered ghost was not attacked, the effect of Liu Yang's supernatural power would gradually weaken and eventually lose its effect as time passed.
Li Yue told Liu Yang about his discovery and asked him to remember the shortcomings of his ability and not to waste it everywhere, lest he die.
But Liu Yang's ability is still really useful.
Then Li Yue easily suppressed the weathered ghost again and put it into the body bag, and put it deep underground again.
His skillful operation stunned Liu Yang on the side.
Li Yue didn't care about Liu Yang's psychological activities. After everything was handled, he put the ghost away.
After the two returned to the living room again, Li Yue sat on the sofa and thought about the confusing ghost. He felt that Liu Yang's name was not accurate, strictly speaking, it should be incomplete. The ability of the evil ghost in his body is definitely not just confusing.
Judging from the results of the experiment, the ability of the evil ghost in Liu Yang's body is extremely special, at least in some aspects, it is not inferior to the deceiving ghost.
It's just that the deceiving ghost can create things in the void, but I don't know if the confusing ghost can do it.
Moreover, Li Yue suspected that the cheating ghost and Liu Yang's confusing ghost might be puzzles for each other.
If there is a chance in the future, he plans to try to see if he can get the cheating ghost, and then study it with the confusing ghost.
Then Li Yue thought about it again and found that it seemed that there was nothing to do. Now the experiments were almost done, and there was no need to keep Liu Yang here.
"Liu Yang, this is where we are today. You should go back first. After you go back, you should also open your mind and develop your supernatural power. Anyway, you don't have to worry about the revival of the evil ghost for the time being. Try it boldly."
Liu Yang was full of fighting spirit when he heard this. After all, today's experience really broke his imagination. He only now knew that supernatural power could do so many things.
He also had a lot of ideas in his mind that he wanted to go back and try.
"Okay, boss, I'll go back first, and contact you if there is anything."
Li Yue, who was sitting on the sofa, replied lazily:
"Yeah"
Liu Yang drove away when he saw this.
Let's ignore Liu Yang who left for the time being, and then talk about Li Yue.
The reason why Li Yue drove Liu Yang away directly was because when he was testing Liu Yang's confusing ghost just now, he suddenly had some ideas.
These were some questions about himself.
Since Li Yue merged with the skeleton ghost, he looked more like a human than other ghost riders, but in essence he should be said to be more like a ghost.
Although after merging with the ghost, his bones were first replaced by the skeleton ghost, and with the fusion of the ghost foot, the nail ghost, and the Buddha hand ghost, more parts of his body have been replaced by the evil ghost.
Even the parts that are still left now have long been affected by the supernatural power and are different from humans, although he still looks like a human now.
Even his consciousness has been integrated into the deepest part of the evil ghost's core.
In this case, is he a ghost or a human now?
Li Yue asked in his heart.
Finally, Li Yue got the answer:
Since he merged with the evil ghost, he is no longer a human, but now just a evil ghost dominated by self-consciousness.
The answer he got was both unexpected and reasonable, but Li Yue himself was unwilling to think deeply in his subconscious mind.
At this time, after Li Yue figured out this problem, he had new doubts in his heart.
That is, since he is a ghost with human consciousness as the main body, does the law that ghosts will not die apply to him?
The immortality here is naturally not the ability of skeleton ghosts to resurrect after death, but the immortality that all ghosts have.
This made Li Yue very confused. After all, he had no way to experiment with this, but this question remained in his heart.
After Li Yue's mind was released, many things that he usually ignored came to mind.
He began to think boldly again.
That is, what are ghosts made of?
He began to carefully examine and examine himself, and combined with the information in the original book, he finally got an answer after a period of thinking.
Ghosts are actually composed of four parts: rules, supernatural powers, carriers, and consciousness. Among them:
Rules: This is the code of conduct for ghosts;
Supernatural powers: It is the power and power of ghosts;
Carriers: The instruments that carry rules and supernatural powers. Some ghost carriers are bodies, such as ghost feet, some are invisible things, such as wind, and some directly use supernatural powers as carriers, such as deceiving ghosts.
Consciousness: This is the most important and the least important.
Because most evil spirits only act according to the rules and instincts, their consciousness is in a special state.
Scientifically speaking, consciousness is the subjective reflection of the mind on the objective material world, and is the sum of various psychological processes such as feeling and thinking.
To put it simply, personality plus memory equals consciousness.
First of all, evil spirits have memories. In the original work, Yang Jian has invaded the bodies of evil spirits through ghosts many times and read the memories of evil spirits, but the memories of evil spirits are very trivial and do not form a logical system.
Secondly, most evil spirits have no personality, or no "ghost personality".
So basically, except for a few exceptions, the consciousness of evil spirits is incomplete, which gives people a chance.
It is because of this that Li Yue can use his complete consciousness to merge the consciousness cores of several evil spirits such as the skeleton ghost, thus becoming an alien.
The protagonist of the original work, Yang Jian, also became an alien by anchoring his consciousness on the incomplete consciousness of evil spirits.
From this, it can be seen that consciousness is the most important thing for evil spirits and people.
Li Yue thought of himself again. Although he has merged with the evil spirit and has not had any side effects for the time being, he now feels more and more that there may be problems with his fusion with the evil spirit.
The problem is consciousness. Although his consciousness is now the most core and dominant after the fusion, the consciousness of the fused ghosts has become something like a protective shield, wrapping his consciousness.
But why didn't he get the memory of the evil ghost after the fusion, nor did he have the ability to manipulate several layers of consciousness protective shields?
So his consciousness seems to be protected, and Li Yue has always thought so before.
But now from another perspective, it is found that his consciousness is imprisoned by the consciousness of several ghosts.
Li Yue is very suspicious that once he encounters a powerful puzzle in the future, the evil ghost in his body will directly imprison his consciousness and take the initiative to merge with the puzzle ghost.
Will his consciousness still exist at that time?
By then, the biggest possibility is that his consciousness will be absorbed by the evil ghost, creating an evil ghost with all his memories but not under his control.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he was. He was worried that his guess would come true.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a great fear in his heart.
He felt like a butterfly tied to a spider web, struggling to get out, and the hunter hidden in an unknown place seemed to come out at any time to eat him up without leaving any residue.
At this moment, a warm current flowed from the depths of his consciousness. With the help of this warm current, Li Yue escaped from fear.
At this time, he found that his body was soaked with cold sweat.
Li Yue no longer cared about the cold sweat on his body. He concentrated on sensing the warm current, observing it through his mind, and actively contacting it.
At the moment when his mind came into contact with the warm current, a piece of information naturally appeared in his mind.
It turned out that this was the power left by the mother star of the original world after he crossed over to protect and shield his information as a crosser.
As mentioned before, consciousness is composed of memory and personality.
Li Yue's information as a crosser belongs to his own memory, and his personality is also convinced of his identity as a crosser.
So in other words, that power is actually protecting his original consciousness.
This is also the reason why ordinary people can still maintain their own identity after merging with evil spirits. After all, ordinary people cannot resist the evil spirit's consciousness infection.
Moreover, Li Yue also merged with four ghosts, namely the skeleton ghost, ghost foot, nail ghost and Buddha hand ghost.
