Overturned Tower

"I don't think so."

Bad Ri looked back worriedly: "To be honest...are you really out of control? If it's a demon who made the move, I don't think it's surprising that psychics around level nine or ten can do this kind of thing."

"Don't underestimate Russell, the child of the Kuhiri family... hiccup—"

Hearing this, on the contrary, God's Vessel at the side was a little unhappy.

He gulped down half a bottle of iced Coke, and then burped for a long time.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief, his expression looked no different from the usual relaxed Russell.

But when he turned around, Bad Day recognized in an instant that he was not the real Russell.

——Because it was the look of a monster.

A kind of randomness and tolerance that belongs only to the devil... as long as you want to do it, you can destroy anything at will.

Human beings have instinctive sympathy for the same race, so they will feel sad about the death of human beings, which is a kind of sympathy about death;

And humans also have some weaker sorrows for the death of mammals, especially animals that are cuter and more in line with human aesthetics;

But if it is the death of an ugly animal, a lower animal or even a plant, there is not even any sadness at all.

Regarding the death of inorganic matter—such as the collapse of snow mountains and the death of seas, they can't even understand their "death".I only think that they still exist, but in a different form of expression.

To demons, human beings are more distant beings than inorganic things.It's like when two robots start communicating, what they actually communicate is the internal program, not the external shell.In the cognition of demons, they are that kind of program, and human beings are that kind of material shell.

Information does not have any existential sympathy for matter.This is also the reason why the devil is "cruel and merciless".

Bad Sun and "Cui Ri" have been together for so long, so naturally they have learned such a secret from Kui Ri long ago.

But he clearly saw the same feelings as the normal Russell from "Russell"...

"That's because I stopped pretending, human."

The vessel of God showed a cheerful smile.

With such an expression on Russell's face, it would look extra cute: "This shows that I regard you as one of my own, doesn't it?"

"...Your acting mode is really different from Russell's."

"That's true, no matter what I play, I will always be me. I can't be other than me... because I'm just an 'vessel', not a 'mirror'. Whatever the vessel holds, it can't be Change your attributes."

"Russell" shrugged, and continued the previous topic: "But don't you underestimate Russell? He has rewritten his subconscious... Do you know what this means?

"He is much stronger than me, but he is bound by the chains of reason. It is different from the relationship between you and the sun...he is the one with higher weight than me."

"I've never heard such a thing, why have you never told me?"

Hearing unexpected words suddenly, the real Russell couldn't help but said: "Aren't you my demon?"

"Indeed. But if you insist, it should be a derivative body like God's Container-1?"

The container of God is not concealed.

He turned his head and said to the godfather with a smile: "Since the dead day has been said, there is still another container of God in your body. You will be able to recall it sooner or later...

"The so-called 'container of God' has two ways. The container that holds God, and the utensils created by God to hold other things.

"I'm not the former, I'm the latter.

"You didn't come into contact with the real demon at all, but you thought you should have such a demon, so I was created by you. When you think I should exist, I will be in your cognition Existing in the form of an illusion... But have you ever seen Bad Day whispering to someone around you?

"In other words, I was just a demon in your imagination from the very beginning. That's why I was so easily manifested by the non-existing utensil."

The container of God shrugged, and showed a wicked smile to his creator: "In other words...

"You may have gone crazy long ago, my Creator.

"A little common sense... It is impossible for normal human beings to rewrite their personality so easily. You must have known it a long time ago, because I already knew about it. You just pretended not to know... put yourself Pretend to be an ordinary person.

"—Since you can easily do that kind of thing, how can you be sure that your personality has not been rewritten by yourself before?"

Chapter 44 A Bad Day's Blessing

Russell was silent.

Following the words of the God's Vessel, the memories that he had recalled at Huachu before, but which he deliberately forgot again, suddenly surged like a rising tide.

The hidden truth was told directly to the face by the "other self"... Russell could no longer deceive himself.

He didn't expect that after he made the God's Container, the first thing it did was to hurt himself...

——Although it will not bite itself, it will tell the truth to hurt itself.

The words of the container of God broke down the hypocritical paper defense wall in Russell's heart...

That was the part that Russell had thought of long ago, but deliberately ignored and pretended not to exist.It was the part of himself that he faced deliberately not honestly.

Although Russell has some special features, some talents that are slightly beyond ordinary people.

But when I was a teenager, the specificity brought by those things was just "somewhat special".

Through contact, dialogue, learning from the other party, carefully researching information, and private practice, etc., gradually copy the particularity of others, become the superior of the other party, and gradually replace the other party's communication relationship and interpersonal resources...

Although it sounds outrageous, this is indeed the extent that ordinary people can do.

It was a special and humble way of living that was not very likable and would be feared by others... like a sandalwood tree.

When it really started to become outrageous, it was probably after I came into contact with the suspicious boss who looked like Naia's human body, and Russell felt great fear just by looking at it.

...However, the parasitic instinct cannot be curbed.

Although he was fearful and apprehensive in his heart, the demonic nature made him uncontrollably touch the other party.

Since then.

At some point, the "parasitic" talent turned into "distortion".

I only need a few words to understand the other party, and I can understand the other party's thinking tendency without secretly investigating... I can even grasp the way of thinking of strangers I meet for the first time, and I can quickly grasp the other party's uniqueness without special study. There are advantages.

From that time on, I may not be a pure human anymore.

The fear of being alone, the fear of becoming special and no longer mortal, gave birth to the psionic power of the "vessel of god".

The "God Seed" he copied was imprisoned and sealed in a container named "Russell".

That's why the container of God said that it is "another self".

"...It turns out that I failed to get the approval of the devil because of this reason."

Russell sighed.

Because he has never been his true, complete self.

——But he didn't want to be like that either.

Long before he came to this world, he had already awakened the psionic energy called "God's Vessel".

That being the case, it is naturally impossible for a demon born based on the "complete Russell" to obey him in this state.

It was just because of the oppression of that world, or his self-deceiving self-sealing, or the hands and feet of the dog boss, that he didn't realize it.His psychic strength must be more than two levels of blue shift... That's why he can become a "magic mirror" that reflects anyone.

Is this why I was sent to this world...

Once this cognitive filter was broken, Russell immediately realized that there seemed to be few normal people in that company.In other words, the "ordinary people" that each of them talks about is always calculated based on the average ability of "company employees".

For example, the roommate and senior who always steadfastly pulled him to prevent himself from leaving the company... He always thought that he only possessed the wisdom of ordinary people.

— Grass, he is a dog.

With Annan's ridiculously clever mind, he must have thought everything through.

He pulls himself and refuses to let him go... It's not because he wants to find a trustworthy "friend" by his side if he starts to run a group in reality.

That really disappoints you.In the end, I was the only one who crossed over...

"But, why am I..."

Obviously my ability is the worst.Precisely because I can't do it with my own strength, I live a life dependent on others and imitate others.

Imitation is a talent that belongs only to the weak.

If you really want to save the world or something...anyone is better than me.

Russell sighed slightly, feeling a strong, indescribable loneliness.

"Looks like you've remembered everything."

The container of God looked at the loneliness that appeared on Russell's face, and his expression became gentle: "Face your loneliness, it is the source of your strength."

That tenderness could even be called pity.

Russell even had an auditory hallucination in his mind that "hell is ahead".

Russell, who had the appearance of a godfather, looked at the container of God that looked like Russell, and asked quietly: "Do you really want me to become like this, my assistant?"

"—Is my position actually an assistant?"

The face of God's Container revealed a look of joy: "Thank you so much, my God. I thought I was just a tool to expose the truth, and I would turn into a bubble like a mermaid after telling the truth." .”

"... You can talk."

"Thank you."

"I don't remember having such sharp teeth."

"I have sharp teeth and claws!"

The container of God responded with a smile: "As for 'must'... as another you, I can't help you deceive yourself, can I? I woke up when you were most thirsty for power. This is my duty. ?

"The happy novice tutorial phase is over, my creator. You should also be able to realize that the first big event for opening the server is coming, and the boring novice farm period should be over... Wake up early Would it be better?"

"That's true."

"Then don't thank me?"

"That's really thanks to myself."

"...Did I get in your way here?"

Bad Day looked at Russell and his demon with a displeased expression, each saying a riddle that only they knew the meaning of: "Why don't you two eat this dinner, and I'll leave first?"

"No, he doesn't need to eat."

Russell said indifferently: "If you want to leave, I will eat two boxes."

The container of God trembled: "I can eat it! I want to eat it!"

Russell refused without hesitation: "No, you can't. It's time for you to leave... Hurry up and find Old Man Mi, and deal with God's misfortune. It just so happens that it's safer for you to go..."

The "Old Man" in Russell's mouth is Amyrus.

Although Bad Day can't understand most of them, he believes that the container of God will definitely understand.

Russell paused, and added: "Remember to pretend a bit. The old man is a serious thousand-year-old fox, don't make up your own mind...Think about what you would do if it was me before.

"If you want to eat something, I'll treat you after all these troubles are resolved... Well, I will treat you as a detective."

"Okay, okay... You squeeze yourself, you really have a demeanor that is about to die suddenly..."

The container of God walked towards the door with a displeased expression in the appearance of "Russell", opened the door and left his bedroom.

Russell closed his eyes and carefully felt his spirit.

As the God's container suddenly reached a place far away from the body through the power of the deer head, the energy consumption of maintaining the "invisible device" suddenly increased several times... It was like doing homework slowly on weekends. It became a final exam.

If it is said that he could maintain it for 24 hours without any pressure, then with his current redshift strength, if he wants to ensure his own combat effectiveness, he can only maintain it for three or four hours.If there is a fierce battle on either side, the time may be further shortened... But if you can hang up the phone completely, concentrate on maintaining the indestructible device, and sleep directly after recovery, it can last for about six hours.

OK, acceptable.

Russell reached out and wiped his face, turning into Alice's appearance.

She looked at Bad Ri with a smile, and stretched out her hand: "Pass me the needle and medicine bottle, Xiaojing~"

"I don't know why, but suddenly I don't feel like it at all..."

Bad Day complained.

When he heard "Xiaojing" from Russell's transformed "Alice" before, he seemed to feel his brain trembling - he knew it was Russell, but he still couldn't get rid of the impact.

But listening to this sentence now, I can clearly realize that "this is not Alice".

If you want to compare it, it's like a 3D animation character and a cosplayer who looks very similar.Although they look very similar, there is an essential difference.

... Is this the self-sealing that the container of God just said?
