Arcanum: Chaos Path

Chapter 322 Adam's Change

Adam calmly recounted his experiences over the past period. It must be said that he was a very proactive person, without any procrastination, and his motto was "say something and do it."

“I live among these ordinary people, and I integrate myself into them, living like a real mortal. I read them, and through them I revisit my past self.”

“Gradually I realized how wrong some of my past ideas were, and I learned to look at each of these faces. I saw their pain and I was angry for them…” Adam said, his expression unreadable, “My humanity was thus further revived.”

“That’s good, and then?” Rowling nodded and looked at Him as he asked.

"Then I started to think about what kind of person I am that the world needs most," Adam continued. "The ideal state is probably like the sun god, but I can't become that kind of being. Even if humanity recovers to a certain extent, I can't become like that again."

"So you're planning to gravitate towards the Imaginary Angels?" Roland asked with a strange expression.

“Isn’t this good?” Adam looked at Roland and asked in return, “Shouldn’t you all prefer me to be an imaginary angel?”

“That’s certainly true.” Rowling didn’t deny it. He looked at Adam and said tactfully, “But is it possible that you have to eat one bite at a time? Fake acting won’t improve your humanity. You can act, but you need to be more genuine.”

"For example, add one point of emotion to nine points of acting skills, otherwise acting will always just be acting. Only by incorporating real emotions can you better understand and evoke those emotions, thereby promoting the recovery of your personality."

This last part, I must say, sounds like a lot of advice from experienced people.

Adam looked thoughtful.

Medici's lips twitched, and he couldn't help but say, "You two patients shouldn't be discussing your conditions here. Can someone tell me why you're here?"

Yes, in Medici's view, the two guys were exactly the same, equally ill. Adam was certainly not normal, but was Rowling normal?
Although this person is full of humanity, he is far more twisted than Adam.

Upon hearing this, Adam looked at Rolin and said, "I came for Sasriel."

That's right. The main reason Adam is here is to see if Rowling can keep Sasriel in this era. This is of great significance.

"What Saslir?" Medici looked at the two of them suspiciously.

Upon hearing this, Rowling smiled and looked at him, saying, "Oh, it's nothing, just an experiment on whether Sasriel can remain in this era permanently."

Medici paused for a moment, then almost instantly became serious, his previous nonchalant attitude vanishing. He looked at Rolin and asked, "What exactly is going on?"

Luo Lin didn't intend to hide anything and quickly recounted what had happened. Finally, he looked at Medici and said, "So if the experiment goes well, Xiao Hong, you can become your mother's colleague!"

Medici was too lazy to refute the term "mother." He just looked at Rolin with a strange expression, and after thinking for a few seconds, he said, "Why don't you just go and talk to the Lord of Storms, the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, and the God of War?"

Four out of the seven true gods have been won over; even Medici is at a loss for words to describe this achievement. "There's no rush with Old Pigeon; we can have Sasriel talk to Him later. As for the Two-Five Dragons, I'll wait for Him to contact me. As for the God of War... he's a guy who's going to die sooner or later; there's nothing to talk about, no need to waste time," Roland waved his hand and said.

“Suddenly, I feel like Sequence 0 isn’t such a big deal after all.” Medici wasn’t surprised by Rolin’s arrangement. After all, as Rolin’s chief tool, he knew quite a lot. He just said with some emotion, “In front of you, I always feel like Sequence 0 is no different from cabbage.”

"That's not necessarily true. While a single Sequence 0 isn't much of a problem, if you two really team up, I'll have a real headache," Roland said with a smile.

Medici glanced at him upon hearing this and said sarcastically, "Do you have a headache and want to take everyone down with you?"

"Of course! After all, my sunk costs are getting higher and higher, and I feel a little heartache about it." Luo Lin nodded frankly and said.

"Then I guess I should pray your sunk costs keep rising." Medici's words were ambiguous, whether he meant it sincerely or was sarcastic. He paused, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked at Rowling, saying:
"Your sunk costs never seem to include your own death. I'm curious about your attitude towards your life."

Medici naturally noticed what Klein had noticed, but he had been too lazy to talk about it before. Now that he had encountered it, he just happened to remember and asked about it.

“I wouldn’t say it doesn’t include me, I still have a will to live, it’s just…” Luo Lin shrugged and said, “My view on life and death is rather unique. To put it simply, death has always been a simple concept for me. I neither look forward to it nor fear it. To me, death is like drinking a beverage I don’t like. I won’t drink it unless necessary, but if I do, it’s not unacceptable.”

Perhaps due to his unique nature, Rowling never seemed to have any fear of death, which could be said to be an unusual perspective on life.

“Actually, you should be able to understand, after all, Xiao Hong, you are not afraid of death, you are only afraid of meaningless death.” Roland thought of something and looked at Medici.

Medici did not refute this, which was also the reason why he had never asked Rowling about this issue. Compared to Klein, who valued life more, Medici's own attitude towards death was more subtle.

Just like with the incident of being boiled in a hot pot, Medici was still resentful, but more so than the fear of death, he was angry about being betrayed and resentful of being forced to fail.

"So you see, we're no different in this respect!" Rowling chuckled, then continued, "Alright, enough of that, let's get down to business!"

The so-called important matter naturally refers to summoning the clone of Sasriel.

Upon hearing this, both Medici and Adam perked up.

Rowling himself was also full of anticipation for the results of the next experiment. He skillfully used the medium to prepare to summon Sasriel, and then his eyes lit up.

Because the power of the Shadow of Time told Rolin that this time he had another option to summon.

This led Rolin to summon Sasriel's clone almost without hesitation. With a crisp "snap," a figure swiftly appeared in the air.
