Chapter 120 Two Ancestral Gifts (11)

"Master Luo, I suggest you do a delicate and comprehensive examination on the little girl. She is too young, and she is easily deceived at such an innocent age." Zhao Jiaozhu said, his nice accent lacked a lot of accents, as if He had given up on being a star and took them seriously as his own.

Luo Qi hesitated for a moment, and Zhao Hierarch made a very reasonable suggestion and request. In this era, mind mages do this to maintain mental health.

But Luo Qi didn't have the spare energy to devote to study and treatment at all, he was playing truant now.He doesn't know how to do a fancy full check

"In such an ancient palace," Zhao Hierarch continued, "there are often ghosts floating around, most of which are fragments of ancient consciousness, a bit like what humans call viruses. But from a human perspective, viruses are parasitic in human bodies , Combined with human gene fragments. The biggest trouble here is that the fragments of consciousness will be combined with normal consciousness, and the missing part will be supplemented from the consciousness of living people."

Roach was thinking about some other things, and Du Zhengyi suddenly said, "You care about human beings so much, don't you think it's against your teachings?"

"The misunderstanding of us by the mainstream society of mages is so deep. What the lotus burners object to is that mages deviate from the way of life of our ancestors. We are not against human beings. They have their own social life. We are not high anti mages, bloodthirsty and It doesn’t make us happy, and seeing human beings suffer doesn’t make us happy either. Ah, I’ve already explained it a few times today, but it’s okay to explain it a few more times, the opportunity to explain itself is very precious.” Leader Zhao said leisurely, and his eyes fell back on the only human being.

Guan Xinyue didn't hide the boredom on her face, and treated Zhao's leader's concern for her coldly, and straightforwardly made a decision for Luo Qi, "I refuse. Since we each have our own way of life, then my mind is My complete privacy, no one has the right to invade my mind, this is my own space. Even Roach, I refuse."

"Don't worry, I won't probe your thoughts without your permission." Roach said sincerely.

Guan Xinyue looked at Luo Qi with a complicated expression, then turned her head suddenly.

Leader Zhao wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Ruisi interrupted abruptly, "Then can I ask a question?"

He got permission from Hierarch Zhao with a kind nod, and immediately asked, "Is there any reason why the fragments of consciousness must find the host? Is it desire? Is it the instinct of the incomplete consciousness yearning for completeness?"

Hierarch Zhao looked at the clownfish, the expert he relied on the most, and the latter said gloomily, "Most of them are not, unless they are malicious fragments, and the purpose of their existence is to parasitize."

"Then...what are most of them? I mean, it seems better to understand if it's a malicious initiative." Zhou Ruisi said nervously.The mage who couldn't see clearly made him frightened, but it was impossible for him to control his curiosity.

The clownfish's blurred face turned around, as if something in a nightmare was looking at him, but he had no eyes, and the peeping without eyes made Zhou Ruisi's hair stand on end.It suddenly occurred to him that this cloud of indistinctness was an archmage of mind, whose peeping happened to need no eyes, and he might turn himself page by page like reading a Lego manual.

The clownfish spoke at this moment, "Don't worry, a simple-minded little person like you is at best an IKEA manual, with only one page."

Zhou Ruisi was so frightened that a vague sound came out of his throat.

The clownfish seemed to let out a malicious laugh, but continued, "The fragments of consciousness without subjective malice, of course, rely on chance and coincidence to randomly combine with other consciousnesses. It is like a virus that randomly infects creatures and transfers its own gene fragments to other consciousnesses. embedded in the genetic sequence of an organism."

Luo Qi really admired Zhou Ruisi a little bit. He felt that Zhou Ruisi was about to faint from fright, but he couldn't restrain his own thirst for knowledge, and continued to ask the clownfish for advice while trembling. "Then... will there be a struggle for the self? For example, if A is embedded in part of B's ​​consciousness, if B has a very distinct personality, although he has no self, but the self-characteristics are all dominant, then what will A do? Is it A or B? Or is AB biased towards B? For example, if A is born with a personality that can do anything, is not easy to get angry, and has no ambition, the kind of person who lives a day-to-day calendar. And B is a person A part of A's consciousness is irritable and has strong desires. Although this part of consciousness has no memory and no self-awareness, once it is combined with A's complete consciousness, A will increase these characteristics, and the impulsive personality and strong desire will change A. Judging the world, then after a long time, will A be A, or another B?"

Luo Qi was unknowingly attracted by this passage, and the clownfish did not continue to tease and threaten Zhou Ruisi. Instead, he remained silent for a moment before saying, "Then there will be a fight."

"The competition between A and B?" Zhou Ruisi asked.

"Maybe it's a battle between A and AB," said the clownfish. "No complete self will disappear easily, even the weakest person."

"Then what if the complete A and the complete B are in one body?" Zhou Ruisi asked again. He has endless pursuit of academics, and it can even help him overcome his fear of demons.

"You mean, one person wants to snatch another person's body?" The clownfish said, "I only have my own opinion here. I think A will still reappear in time. This person may not remember who A is, no The previous memory of the body, but his way of thinking, his temperament, will become more and more like A every day. The B that has invaded other people's bodies will be gradually absorbed, and maybe he himself will not realize that he has become an AB."

"Mao... creepy." Zhou Ruisi said.

Luo Qi tilted his head and looked at him, "It's creepy. Is it your motto that you will die every morning?"

Zhou Ruisi waved his hands tremblingly, unable to tell whether he dared not take it or what it meant.Even Master Zhao couldn't help smiling.After his side showed affinity, he duly ended the academic discussion, "So back to our question, I respect the little girl's opinion, but if possible, I still stick to my suggestion. I know a test The spell of consciousness in the ancient times, Luo Qi is the little girl's trusted partner, if you can, let Luo Qi try."

Luo Qi was indeed taken aback, and asked with a grin, "Then I must be an unparalleled good baby today, Boss Zhao has candy for me?"
