Aiwass was silent, looking up at Lucifer.
He was so tall that it even reminded Aiwass of his past experience when facing the giant prince.
Now that I think about it, the giant became so tall... probably because of the trace of blood left by the Supreme Sky.
When the Supreme Heaven was still the King of Winged Ones, he must have been so tall...
"...I am different from him."
Aiwass took a deep breath and wanted to use a stronger posture and speak more powerful words, but in the end he just spit out a pale whisper: "Don't confuse us."
It is different from the righteous and sonorous words when Cardinal Galatea said "I am not a snake".
For some reason, Aiwass felt inexplicably guilty when facing Lucifer. It was as if he had really made some mistake, and as if his conscience was just hurt by those innocent eyes like a child.
Aiwass's words were closer to a feeble defense than an angry warning: "I don't remember anything... I am just an abandoned remnant."
That was A kind of hesitation that seemed to truly owe him something.
It was as if I had done something sorry for him in the past, and the shame and remorse were deep in my heart. But now that time has passed by, he has long forgotten the stories and people of the past, but he still vaguely remembers the feeling of indebtedness.
But I really don’t know him!
"What I tell is usually the truth."
Aiwass said seriously: "I never have any ill intentions towards others."
"The same goes for snakes. So," Lucifer replied without hesitation, "The snake always tells the truth when he lies.
"Every word he said is the truth when taken individually - you." Isn’t that the same kind of person? ”
Lucifer’s words pointed directly at Aiwass’s heart: “You said ‘I am telling the truth’, but in your heart you are saying ‘I sometimes lie to others. Words like "Truth" and "Foxes are very good at lying". "
"...Don't read my mind! "Aiwass frowned.
"I don't read minds, because the doors of the hearts of all living beings are open in front of me. Just like you can see colors and smell flavors, winged ones can also feel the ‘hearts’ of others. "
Lucifer just smiled gently and knelt down on one knee again: "However, you and the snake are indeed different. When a snake deceives people with truth, he always believes it in his heart. But you will say words in your heart to convince yourself... because you still can't regard falsehood as truth. "
Aiwass felt an inexplicable anxiety - after merging with Aleister again and achieving spiritual peace and perfection, he rarely felt anything that could touch his heart.
But now, in front of the remnant soul of Tiansi in the old world, AiWen Si felt as if he was still an ignorant child.
"Why do you always kneel down in front of me?"
Aiwass frowned and said sarcastically to Lucifer: "I am not your king, you are more There is no need to be loyal to me."
"Because you are too small, much smaller than a snake."
Lucifer did not get angry at all, but patiently explained: " I need to be eye level with you to show that our status is equal; and I kneel down to you to express a kind of goodwill - this is what the snake taught me. He told me that kneeling is a ritual. Used to distinguish between superior and inferior.
"I have no intention of conquering your existence and soul, nor do I want to use the authority of the 'King of Winged Ones', so I will rest my wings here. Retrograde ritual to show friendship. Just like swallowing teeth and shrinking claws, sheathing a sword. ”
As he himself said - as the love and glory abandoned by the original body, Lucifer’s words are indeed full of kindness.
Aiwass also realized His own gaffe.
He pursed his lips and faced his mistake calmly: "I'm sorry, I don't know why... I lost control of my mood just now. "
"This is a good thing. "
Lucifer said gently: "This just shows that even 'Snake' is guilty of this matter - he has to cut out his guilt to avoid affecting his actions. . That's a testament to his friendship for us, isn't it? "
"...Is that what you think? ”
Aiwass was speechless for a moment.
He didn’t know how to explain it—even if Lucifer had acquired human language, he couldn’t quite understand Lucifer. The thinking mode of ancient people like Phil.
"Yes," Lucifer nodded slightly. The golden giant was as brilliant as he looked. "His feelings for us are sincere. It's just that for a higher purpose, he had to abandon us. Just like the tribesmen would give up their lives as living sacrifices in order to reach the highest level.
"He failed to win my consent and used me as a sacrifice. I am not satisfied with this. But he felt guilty and painful for this, so I forgive him. He used his kindness Cut it off, and that’s you. Your pain for this is exactly what he suffered in the past; when a person sins, he must repent, and when he repentes, he must atone for his sins.
“So I ask you—you. Will you still deceive me, like the snake in the past? ”
After the explanation, Lucifer said what he just said again and stretched out his hand to Aiwass.
However, at this time, Aiwass’s mentality It was completely different from understanding.
He was gradually able to understand Lucifer's thoughts -
The handshake just now was a reunion with former friends; Nowadays, the handshake is the real "first meeting" of Aiwass.
"I can't. ”
He said sonorously and powerfully, and locked hands with Lucifer’s huge right hand.He said: "But I don't make promises like 'I will never betray' or 'I will never lie'...
"I can only say that everything I have done is worthy of me. Original intention.
"I will never do anything that will make me regret. I will never cut out my regretful heart."
Hearing this, Lucifer was happy laughed.
He said gently: "Then you and he are not the same person."
"First meeting, my friend. You look a lot like a friend of mine...what's your name? "
"...Aiwass. "
Aiwass did not say his last name, but only said his first name after a long silence.
Compared with what the surname "Moriarty" represents The name "Aiwass" is the name that Aiwass truly recognizes - that is, his real name.
He believes that Lucifer can sense it.
Although what is here is just a remnant soul, a piece of consciousness, a pile of embers, and a solidified yellowed photo... it is completely different from the guy who became the Fallen Sky Secretary
But at least this sincerity, Aiwass hopes that the other party can sense it.
“I can sense it, my friend. "
Lucifer smiled briskly and relaxedly: "Sure enough, it is valuable to keep guarding here..."
"...Guarding? value? ”
“When you do things, you must persist to the end. This is what the snake taught me. "
Lucifer almost always said something about Snake, but Aiwass also felt that there was nothing wrong with what he said: "Snake said, if you insist on something until the end before giving up, that is the same as giving up from the beginning. There is almost no difference. Therefore, if you make up your mind, you will go to the end and never look back.
"I have been guarding here since the day my old self ascended to heaven. I watch the sun always shine on the earth, and everything in the world remains unchanged. I can feel that the time outside is constantly wearing down my The time I could hold on to the preservation technique became less and less. The power of the path penetrated, and the souls of the children I preserved here gradually turned into demons. In the end, no one could talk to me.
“But I think I’ll at least wait until the first people get here. I want to tell them how the sun died and how the stars were born; I want to tell them the truth of what happened back then, and let them know why the Fallen Sky Division was born... I want them to be careful of the 'snake's' lie that always tells the truth. "
Speaking of this, Lucifer looked at Aiwass with a smile: "But I didn't expect... the first person to come here was actually a 'snake', just like before. . Oh, sorry...I forgot, you're not a snake. Just a friend who looks just like him.
"In this way, my mission will be completed..."
"Wait!"
Seeing Lucifer seemed to be about to give his last words As if, the body gradually became transparent, Aiwass quickly stopped him and said: "Tell meThe story of ‘Snake’! And how should I be careful about him... Now he and I are enemies in conflict! But I know nothing about him..."
"...You are actually the skin of a 'snake', right? "
Lucifer's words were shocking.
Seeing Aiwass's pupils shrink slightly, Lucifer smiled and said: "Because 'Snake' mentioned it to us.
"He is not a god, but he knows a lot about gods. I have also asked him, and he always tells the truth - he said that he was reborn from the future, and that the distant future welcomes The end of the world has come. He has been through the cycle several times, but he has never been able to break it. This is where his familiarity with me comes from."
Lucifer said gently: " He said that he could become friends with me every time. When he said this, I didn't understand why...but now I know it was because he needed to rely on me every time. Re-ascend to heaven.
“But I think...if it’s for this reason, there’s no need to apologize to me. The world will be destroyed, time will rotate, and all kinds of disasters will happen again. The most painful ones must be those of them who are still struggling. On the contrary, we ignorant people can live happily and die peacefully.
“He came to be my friend with the determination to kill me eventually. All I enjoyed was the happiness of having one more friend, but he had to endure the torture of his own conscience.
“He told me he would leave a lot of slough behind. He will continue to cut off a large amount of himself and the most important part of his memories in each era, let them experience life, expand them and then collect them into himself, using this method to maintain his own humanity. Although I don’t know why he lacks humanity if he is not a Pillar God...
"Snake said that people can only have one pair of eyes and one life when they live in the world. People can only see what they see. Things can only experience what they have experienced. But if you cut yourself open, you can have many lives... If you can't solve the problem with your own knowledge, maybe another person can solve it.
< p>"Looking at you, you should have a way to solve the apocalypse, right? "The golden giant's voice is gentle and calm, giving people warmth and strength: "Come on.
"Since you are right, then it is up to you to eat him."
"Shall I...eat him? Eat Huan Tiansi?"< /p>
Aiwass’s pupils widened.
Is this really possible?
"Of course."
Lucifer affirmed: "As the snake said, snakes never tell lies. In the past reincarnations, there are always victorious snakes shed . He himself was once a snake in a certain period of history, and he is no longer the original self. If he can win, then you can also win."
Hearing this, Ai Hua. Si suddenly enlightened!
This is extremely important information.
Many unsolvable problems became clear in an instant——
Aiwass almost solved itRan everything!
Why does Huantiansi’s behavior seem so disconnected from the ancient times’ Huantiansi behavior, and why is he so persistent in leaving this world? Why do the pillar gods place bets on Aiwass one after another, but no one Trying to kill Huan Tiansi in advance; why the shepherd finally forgave and spared Fallen Sky Si, and used his own life to destroy Huan Tiansi's plan; and...
Aiwass's system!
——It is subtly different from what I had speculated before entering the Tower of Babel.
Now, he can basically deny the speculation that "the system comes from the memory of Huantiansi" - because Huantiansi is closely related to the birth and destruction of this tower, and it can be said that there is no connection with it. He has nothing to do with it. Under such circumstances, how could something be missing from Huan Tiansi's memory?
If you think about it carefully, there is one more thing -
When Aiwass briefly became a cardinal, he took out the [Cardinal Certificate] robe that he had just made. I saw a sentence:
["——Hello, hey, hey? Can you see this line?"]
He had already denied that this line of characters came from Scale Feather. Lord, but now it seems...it is so joyful, and it doesn't look like a remnant of Huan Tiansi. It's more like Aiwass himself...but a more cheerful Aiwass.
Aiwass has no objection to the fact that he has a system, because he has the memory of the game "The Link" when he was on Earth. In other words, it's because everything is within his knowledge.
But here comes the problem.
There is "James Moriarty" in the game.
But James has returned from the end of the world!
He obviously only experienced one life, and it was the life in which Huan Tiansi chose to become the "Endless Knot", and the life in which the Ring of Ending Ceremony was not launched!
——If my experience is exactly the same as in the game, then what about the previous seven lives that have the same memories as myself?
James obviously does not have any deep memories of Aiwass, otherwise his attitude towards himself would not be that way. But if Aiwass has apocalyptic memories and a system that can learn quickly, there is no reason why he won't become a big shot.
In other words, there is a high probability that Aiwass in the past few lives did not have a system or the memory of "The Ring of Coupling"!
The "memory of past lives" that was originally taken for granted seems to have turned into countless broken glass shards at this moment.
From this perspective...there are only two possibilities.
One possibility is that those "Aiwass" who have no system and no memory of "The Ring of Ending" are regarded as "victims" from the very beginning. They are not special, just like other snake sloughs.
And just nine lives are definitely not enough for Aiwass to dabble in so many professions and items, master and build an almost perfect system in advance. Therefore, what constitutes the system are all the "snake sloughs" split off by Huantiansi.It will definitely not be like this life... only the shepherd and Aiwass were separated, and there will be no extra snake sloughs.
Another possibility is that the plot of "The Ring" in Aiwass's memory did not exist from the beginning.
This is obviously impossible - because even Lian Tiansi's own behavior was predicted by the "game plot".
And if this possibility is ruled out...
Huan Tiansi clearly has a strong hostility towards Aiwass and has tried to occupy his body many times, but has never truly Take action; He clearly knew that Aiwass had already prepared a countermeasure against the Ring of Endings and had the support of many pillar gods, but he still planned to implement the plan step by step, as if he didn't know anything...
All kinds of weird behaviors have explanations at this moment.
——He is trying to "restore" the plot of the game!
Those "snake sloughs", Lucifer said, "have the most important part of the memory." And for Huantiansi, what is the most important memory?
That is the proof that as a time traveler, he comes from another world!
He constantly divides his memories as a time traveler into the material world, cultivates an ignorant "traveler", and then fights with the other party and then devours the other party. Through this method, we constantly emphasize "who I am" to avoid forgetting ourselves in the long cycle of reincarnation.
Although Huan Tiansi lived for nine lives, in a sense he may have only lived for three...
In the original era, there was no savior James who came back from the future. Not to mention Aiwass who fell in love with and killed Huan Tiansi. He became Tiansi from ancient times and became the "Huanwei Ring" of the Pillar God, but he was completely unable to save the world...
At that time, Huantiansi may have realized something.
Then he prepared for a long time... He led the "Falling Heaven Division" to the "right path", brought James back from the day of the end of the world, and gave the sacred entity to Jacob. He cut...awakened Aiwass and his system, and cultivated the most important chess piece.
——The most important thing about the "key" is the perfect fit.
If the lock is changed, the key may no longer work.
But this key cannot be replaced in any way...it is Huan Tiansi's "self"!
So Huan Tiansi made a lock in reverse for this key!
Prepare the stage, prepare the script, prepare the actors, restore everything to what you see in the game, until the actors appear on stage - smash it all to pieces.
He did not dare to kill Aiwass directly, nor did he dare to take away his body directly... because he was worried that his excessive interference would cause bugs in the "script"!
At that moment, Aiwass thought of what he once said to Professor Moriarty:
"——If I were a key, I would eventually It will be a key to the Lord.”
At that time, Professor Moriarty smiled happily..
Aiwass didn’t know what he was laughing at at the time... But now, he seems to understand.
The professor may not know the "history" that he has not experienced, but he is the one who can best feel the traces of destiny being involved and changed!
He realized that the fate of this world was being manipulated, and finally realized that "the key to everything" lay in Aiwass.
That’s why Aiwass smiled so happily when he said those words!
"My friend."
At this moment, Lucifer said gently: "If you lack courage or strength...then accept me.
"When you stand in front of the snake, please say hello to him for me. Let me tell him, I never hated him. "
As he spoke, the whole person gradually faded and disappeared.
The three pairs of solid white wings behind him, inlaid with gold, fell one after another amidst the clanging sound.
Lucifer’s remaining voice still echoed in the air:
“I’m just a little sad - we could have faced the end together, and he didn’t need this. So lonely... Lonely to the point of madness..." The transcoding has been serious recently, which makes us more motivated and updates faster. Please move your little hand to exit the reading mode. Thank you
