Overturned Tower

"In my opinion, it should be a kind of safety valve. A 'key' made so that you don't get too 'into the show'."

Bad Day replied seriously: "According to my research on psychic power, you should be able to 'imitate love'. In other words, there should be such a dangerous switch in your psychic power... After you turn it on, you can do love. to something more dangerous.

"Everyone's psychic powers more or less have this kind of 'switch'. I think that if you can use your own talents to understand 'love', you will turn on this dangerous switch that belongs to you and step into a new era completely. boundary."

"Basically speaking, they are already demons, right?"

Russell frowned.

Psionic powers cannot increase without warning, without reason... unless it is a power on the "other side".

"What is the fundamental difference between a demon and you?"

Bad Ri asked back: "You are him, and he is you. Have you forgotten that the reason why the demons go crazy and kill people is because they inherited your will?

"From this point of view, the devil is avenging you. Isn't this your most trustworthy companion?"

"But the devil must eat people."

Russell said without hesitation: "Because of this, he cannot be a human companion."

Bad Day shook his head.

He asked from another angle: "Then why do you think demons must eat people? Or, when did demons have to start eating people?"

Russell froze.

The appearance of little Liuli at that time appeared in his mind.

"It's very simple... When it reaches the sixth level of redshift, the original personality of the host dies. The demon must eat people to maintain itself.

"But you have also been to the Reconstruction Institute. Are the demons there eating people?"

"But they do die, too," Russell emphasized. "There are demons who destroy themselves because they haven't eaten people for a long time."

"That's not because the devil has to eat people. It's because 'you're gone' that the devil has to eat other people.

"The devil...or, 'Psychic' itself is symbiotic with you. You can trust him a little more...and release your own demons when needed."

The bad day follows good advice: "As long as you communicate well with the devil, he will not cause trouble.

"Why, don't you want to feel 'true love'? I believe that there must be something like that in the masks of Blue Robin and Morgan."

Russell stared at Bad Sun for a long time.

He suddenly asked, "So...

"—are you a demon now, Mr. Bad Day?"

Hearing the words on a bad day, he finally smiled with satisfaction.

He looked at Russell with relief, and shook his head: "I am not now.

"But maybe at some point, it will be."

As he spoke, he tapped Russell's forehead.

He said flatly: "Don't completely believe the nonsense of those people in the company. The devil is also a part of yourself. If you can't control it, it's because of the fault of the person who can't control it. There is nothing wrong with power itself.

"Believe in the devil in your heart, and you also believe in yourself. What you have to do is to perceive the devil, control the devil, and control the devil, instead of denying its existence and suppressing its power."

Speaking of this, Bad Ri's voice suddenly became cold and rational, his eyes became cold, and his voice became low: "Why do you suddenly long for love? In my opinion, it has nothing to do with what Delphinium did, just The demon in you is 'hungry'.

"It's like parasites eating your nutrients and making you hungry.

"When you have completed the transfer, the demon in your heart has awakened. All the instincts that you have suppressed and forgotten have also awakened...

"The essence of the devil is the same as yours, and it is so eager to get the power of 'love', which shows that you are actually the same, but you are deceiving yourself-but because of your past experience, you dare not look directly into your heart The sprouting desire for 'love'.

"But psychic power is an honest power. No one can deceive his own heart, and because of this... one cannot deceive the demon in his own heart."

Russell looked up suddenly.

He asked again: "Are you a demon now, Mr. Bad Day?"

"first meet."

"Bad Sun" said coldly: "My name is Kui Ri...Mr. Container."

Chapter 13 Another Me

"...I'm not some 'Mr. Vessel'."

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 institution with the inferior.

In the eyes of those demons, people are like glass bottles one after another.And their demons dwell in it.

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

For the devil, man is such a "container" itself.

Therefore, the sentence of the dying day is still a kind of pun...

It can be understood as the nickname of "the container of God", or as the "container containing the devil", that is, Russell himself.

"It's just a demonstration."

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

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

"It's really doable, and it's convenient. Anyone can do it to avoid losing control...but it's not a 'traditional' craft."

Bad Day smiled: "The technology of extracting memories and emotions in a highly concentrated way and making them released as long as the prosthetic body is inserted was only invented in 1187.

"But the 'White Incident' triggered by Mammon was as early as 1141. In the intervening 40 years, will all psykers become demons? They don't have the ability to seal their own dangerous memories."

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

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

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

That was the secret Grandma Lan told Russell.

At the beginning, Bad Sun took the meaning of "everything in the world that is born with the sun's energy has poisonous stings", and compared itself to the "bad day" and "poisonous day" that bestowed poisonous stings on all things in the world.

But Russell's father has another suggestion... and that's a bad day.

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

As for the demon of the bad sun, it seems that its name is "the sun in decay".

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

Russell looked at Bad Ri and asked word by word.

Think of yourself as purer than the devil.

This is... what arrogance.

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

Bad Day made no secret of this: "Russell, you're so 'normal'. A psyker doesn't need to be so normal.

"Whether it's morality or law, worry about the future or regret about the past, it will make you subconsciously control your power. It's like you are hammering on the door with your fist, subconsciously you won't use your full strength .This is a subconscious protection of one's own body... This kind of power is the so-called 'blue shift'.

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

"But what if you are in danger? You have to unleash your own power to solve the dilemma... For example, you must use all your strength to defeat gangsters. In this case, you can't care about the protection of 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, with such a full blown punch—what will happen?"

"My body will be injured... Is this out of control?" Russell thought.

"To be precise, it's not out of control...but your personality has been damaged."

Bad Day pinpoints Russell's imperfections.

Like a mentor.

He earnestly told Russell, who had entered the transition period, a secret that he could not know: "It's like your fist is injured. You bleed, your bones are broken...but the external difficulties you encountered have not disappeared because of this.

"It might not even break the door—you'd have to hit the door again with all your strength. You'd hurt even more.

"When you're so hurt that you can't lift your fist, you can't hold it, it's like your personality is broken.

"So, I ask you—this power of yours itself, does it want your fists to be injured and broken?"

"of course not."

Russell understood what Bad Day said: "Because that is also a kind of damage to itself... That's why. So after the psykers lose control, will the devil have to eat people to maintain its existence?"

"Yes...that's exactly the case. Because the souls and personalities of those out of control were not destroyed by the devil itself. It was because their souls couldn't bear the power of the devil, so they were broken.

"When the personality is damaged, the power of the devil will also leak out. It's like a container with cracks. It doesn't need to pour water out, but it will flow out by itself. That is the devil's cannibalism and loss of control. Because the use of psionic energy When the time comes, that specific emotion will stand out and become extremely strong like an echo... The stronger the psionic energy, the clearer the echo.

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

"But there is a process in the middle. How powerful human beings can finally brew depends on the intensity of desire and the intensity of emotional fluctuations... that is the so-called 'red shift' intensity. Most people's desires are It's not that strong, that's why it has three natural moats called 'Wall of Behemoth', 'Wall of the Zodiac', and 'Wall of Leviathan'.

"Every time you cross a road, it means that you are one step further away from being a pure 'human being'."

Having said that, Bad Day's voice became colder.

Russell immediately knew that it was a sudden change at this time, and it was replaced by "Cursed Day":

"We demons don't have souls, so we can't burst out psionic power on our own. When the host exists normally, we convert it into psionic energy by absorbing a certain emotion specific to the host as pure fuel. Power... Just like the photosynthesis of plants also needs carbon dioxide to release oxygen.

"But if the host doesn't exist, or can't provide this emotion, we have to eat other people's souls to survive. However, other people's souls don't necessarily have the 'specific lineage' emotion we need, Or there is, but the purity is not enough. That is a kind of inferior fuel for us. Therefore, it may take a thousand people to compare with the best fuel provided by the host.

"It's only because we no longer need to worry about whether the host's personality can bear this power, so we can fully release 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 psionic power of this host... But if we get along happily, we could have become the most trustworthy friends."

And at this time, the dead day switched back to the bad day again.

"In fact, you can understand that these 'demons' in their hearts are a kind of symbiote. A special creature that can release specific psionic energy by feeding on specific human emotions."

Bad Ri raised his hand and signaled: "You see, I have already developed a tacit understanding with Ku Ri. He only emerges when I need it, so it won't affect my 'emotions' and won't affect me. It will damage my interpersonal relationship because of an overly extreme personality. At the same time, I don't have to worry about damage to my personality due to the use of excessive force.

"We are the most trustworthy friends - he is the...other me I identify with."

Chapter 14 The Newborn Camalthe

"The birth of demons is definitely not a problem of psionic energy itself."

Bad Day concluded: "It's because human beings are too weak. Not only the body is weak, but the will, heart and spirit are too weak——

"Psychic power is so powerful, it doesn't seem like it was developed by humans, let alone usable by humans. Although it seems that psykers have only been around for 100 years, I think the power of 'psychic power' exists The time is far greater than this number.

"It's more like some kind of legacy. It's like putting a pet in a veterinary hospital and never coming back ... and we're just new adopters.

"It could be hundreds of years, thousands of years, maybe even tens of thousands of years. At least that's what I think."

Such a smooth switch between himself and the devil does not require any preparation and does not cause any impact on the body.

Russell finally understood why Bad Day could release psychic powers above level six without using a chip.

The strength of the psionic energy used by the bad day is only up to the limit strength of his own blue shift.Possibly even lower.

As for his demon, he can directly use the psychic energy of Redshift's extreme strength without worrying about negative effects on him.

For example, a bad day may have a blueshift of only seven or eight degrees, but a redshift of nine degrees.Then when the "Curning Sun" appeared, he could use the strength of level nine...but normally, if the bad Japanese forcefully used this power, he might be "broken".

Those powerful psionic energies that may cause personality shattering and mental stress have undergone a personality switch and are released by the demon "Cursed Sun" instead.

That's why he can see through those imaginary spaces, and even be able to harm enemies across the space.

From this point of view, perhaps "the most dangerous criminal in the world" is not a bad day, but a dead day.

...How should I put it, I'm a little envious.

After all, not long ago, Russell almost lost control.

His current blueshift is still only level five, but he has already obtained the sixth level of redshift—the mask belonging to "Morgan", which is the power of level six redshift.

He couldn't put on Morgan's mask at all now, unless it was temporarily enhanced with Delphinium's psychic power.

But if the "Container of God" came by himself...

For a moment, Russell was a little moved.
