old dream

Chapter 105 "One Heart and One Body"

When Colin woke up, there was a heavy inhalation sound in his throat, which was the most forceful inhalation in his life, and his lungs began to work again.Then he breathed heavily and coughed.

He opened his eyes, but the pupils were not focused yet, and everything in his vision was blurred.I just felt that a heavy stone was stuffed into my chest, and the phantom pain of a severed arm still remained on my left arm.

After a long time, the light in front of his eyes became solidified.Candlelight, that is the candle lit in conjunction with the dream ceremony, until the redstone evaporates or the candle is blown out, he cannot leave the dream.

He collected himself before he saw Ji Lian's face.She was kneeling on the right side of Colin's body, her hands still folded, pressing on his chest.

Seeing Ke Lin wake up, Ji Lian also heaved a long sigh of relief.she says:
"Your heart stopped beating suddenly. I thought..."

It looked like she was doing chest compressions for herself.

"How long have I been asleep?" Colin spoke, still feeling out of breath, as if a flame was burning deep in his throat.

"Two hours." Ji Lian said: "After sleeping for an hour and a half, the eyeballs began to move rapidly. But in the last 3 minutes, the heartbeat stopped. If you don't wake up again... I can only blow out the candles."

Realistic first aid is pointless.

And if he blows out the candle arbitrarily, the one who wakes up may be the shuttle demon.

He stood up staggeringly, pressing his forehead with his hands, trying to relieve the stabbing pain in his head.The mind has not yet recovered from the lack of oxygen.

This is the small room inside the secret door. He walked with difficulty to the rack where he kept his belongings, and there was a row of inhibitors there.He picked up the syringe made of copper and glass, but his hands couldn't help shaking.In the end, Ji Lian came over to help complete the injection.If it was any later, he suspected that he would be burned alive by the stimulus.

Breathing eased a little.Colin smelled a grassy smoke.He found two more incense burners on his left, each containing stacks of bay leaves and fig leaves, both burning slowly in the absence of oxygen.

Those were set by myself before falling into the dream, but their effects didn't seem to seep into the dream.

It seems that for the imaginary creatures, dreams and reality are like two completely different worlds.

By the way, I don't know what happened to the hearth.

Colin hurriedly closed his eyes, feeling his consciousness again.

The abundance of life like stars has almost been exhausted now, leaving only a few dim places in a state of perishing, like dust falling on a black cloth.

But now, there are some unknown red threads scattered in the space of consciousness.

They seem to be floating in the invisible wind, and those roots extend to the bottom of all the "stars", sinking into the unknown darkness.

Colin focused his gaze on the darkness, and could vaguely hear rumbling sounds, moving from far to near.That is already another world outside the shell of the heart, the deep sea where all subconscious minds exist.

And the mysteries of the Hearth, or "The Slave King's Wedding Ring," operate unseen in its depths.

"How is it?" Ji Lian asked cautiously:

"Did something happen in the dream?"

Colin would go into cardiac arrest, so something must have happened.

But she didn't know if the design she changed would take effect.

It is also uncertain whether Colin at this time is still the person he knows.

"It went very well, and all the structures moved as planned." Colin said:

"I was accidentally bitten by it at the last moment. I was not careful."

In fact, the hearth failed to start at the first time, but it can't be said whose mistake it was.Colin could see that Ji Lian had done her best.

"So...we made it?" she asked.

Colin closed his eyes again and felt the red threads. The end of them protruding into consciousness was slowly dissipating into light spots, and slowly transforming into the abundance of life.

There is no doubt that this is the spiritual essence gushing from the hearth, which comes from the body of the shuttle demon.

Moreover, there was no tingling pain of unknown origin on my body, which showed that the spiritual rejection did not appear, and the idea of ​​placing the hearth in the deep consciousness to reduce the ether load was correct.

However, the issue of final contribution has not been resolved.Because if you want the spiritual essence to flow into reality, you must go through the ether.

"I guess so," Colin said in a low voice.

Ji Li'an couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, she asked in disbelief:

"Then you are already...?"

Two weeks ago, Giovanni judged the Shuttle Demon's previous host as a "child moon".

Then after casting the hearth, it should be close to the level of Ziyue.

Just a description on the force scale.My own consciousness has not even opened the shell of my heart.

But there is more than one path to ascension.

"I think I'm a real wizard already," said Colin.

A wizard at the level of Ziyue, Xing Zhe took the first step on his ascension journey.

Ji Lian's expression was a bit complicated for a while, even in the schools of the religious order, a real wizard is very rare.

At least, at the level she can touch.

And if tuberculosis did not come suddenly, perhaps she would have had the opportunity to embark on this mysterious journey and "touch" that mysterious and profound world in person.

But no matter whether she is willing or not, all these seem to be moving away from her.But Ji Lian never thought that she would help another person become a wizard by mistake.

……

Colin once again sketched the image of the Shuttle Demon in his mind, and focused his intentions on it.

Emerald flames suddenly appeared in the field of vision, and in front of Ke Lin's eyes, the shredded and twisted limbs of the Shuttle Demon were dragged out of thin air bit by bit.

Maybe it was howling, but the structure in the hearth blocked all sounds from it for Colin.It can't make any real resistance, and must carry out the orders given to it by Colin.

It was more than two meters tall, and its black-purple muscles glowed with a metal-like halo, tightly fitting on its bones, making its body extraordinarily slender.

The emerald green flames were still burning on it, which meant that it was still resisting, but obviously it couldn't last long.

It passed through the gap in the heart shell and emerged from Colin's deep consciousness.Coming to the place where reality and virtual world intersect is equivalent to entering this room.

Ji Lian couldn't see what was going on in the room, but she began to feel uneasy inexplicably, because her spirit element perception was outstanding, so she noticed that a strange spirit element had entered the space, causing some confusion.

"Is it... coming out now?"

Although she has been seeking knowledge in the materials for many years, Ji Lian has never really dealt with these spiritual creatures, so she is inevitably a little nervous at this time.

"Well, it's right in front of you."

"Don't scare me." Ji Li'an said with a smile, but still couldn't help reaching out and groping in front of her.Of course, she couldn't touch anything.

In fact, the Shuttle Demon had already floated to the middle of the room, and Colin was controlling its hand to reach out to the table.

Then, it passed through without any accident.

With the output of the hearth, a stabbing pain of unknown origin reappeared in Colin's body.This time the pain was much lighter, like capillaries, spreading under all the skin.

Consciousness is located in the ether, and with the seepage of the shuttle demon, the total amount of spiritual essence in the ether naturally exceeds the load, and part of the spiritual essence soaks into the body, and the human body's spiritual essence rejection reaction also appears .

Because of repeated mental shocks in the dream, the gap on the shell of Ke Lin's heart was enlarged again, at least providing a certain channel for the output of the hearth.

Want to try its power?

The emerald green flame was extinguished bit by bit.It finally realized that any resistance it had was meaningless.

Colin looked around the room, and finally locked on a few empty wine bottles in the corner.

How to attack?He thought for a while, but felt a little helpless.It's like trying to control the extra organs in your body.

After a few simple attempts, the branch on the magic joint of the shuttle suddenly shot out, and finally pierced into the wall next to the wine bottle.

Ji Lian was taken aback by the voice that appeared out of thin air, and couldn't help but say:
"what?"

After all, there is something in the room that you can't see, so it's not easy to feel at ease.

"Sorry sorry."

I forgot to remind her before trying.

But Ji Li'an didn't have any temper, she just twitched her lips.

It will be Colin himself who will clean up the residue later.

Ji Lian said:

"Why don't you pull me into its frequency."

"you sure?"

She rubbed her forehead and said, "At least you won't be taken aback."

So Ke Lin once again controlled the Shuttle Demon awkwardly, preparing to drag Ji Lian into an abnormal frequency of consciousness.

Ji Lian is also like "Horst", born with a big crack in her heart shell.They are therefore very susceptible to being dragged into anomalous frequencies even without the use of Shriek.

But Ke Lin still tried for 15 minutes before he managed to let Ji Lian see a hazy shadow.

"Is this a spiritual creature?" Ji Lian murmured.

"What do you see?"

"A rabbit like a dog." Ji Lian said with a smile: "Illusion of self-deception."

After finishing speaking, she turned back and walked towards her workbench.

Colin also approached the pile of debris and squatted down to observe.Giovanni seems to have said that the bigger the guy, the harder it is to migrate in frequency, so sometimes it is not as good as a weak elf who is completely controlled.

Colin raised the shuttle demon's arm again, and found that it was almost as if he was controlling his own hand, except that the sense of touch was not sent back to the brain.

As Colin's mind recovered from the lack of oxygen, more and more intentions were focused on the shuttle, eventually gaining complete control over it.

Rather than being a familiar, it is better to say that it is an extension of one's own limbs.It's just that any perception on it will not be fed back to the owner.

It's like a person has two bodies, which gives Colin a very subtle feeling.

The shuttle demon's movements suddenly became a little staggering, because Colin couldn't adapt to this brand new body model for a while.

It obviously takes time to practice and adapt to let the consciousness adapt to the dual use of one mind.

At the same time, while moving the shuttle demon's arm, Ke Lin couldn't help thinking, if he could completely erase the shuttle demon's consciousness, and then use the nerves made of spirit essence to take over its thinking organs...

So is it equivalent to having two brains?

Distributed consciousness?If there is no spatial logic like reality in the imaginary world, it also provides the basis for the existence of this form of life.

The same will operates on several separate thinking organs.

It's like after pulling out a potato seedling, there are still several rhizomes connected to it.

As disgusting as it sounds, it's also a bit irritating.But Ke Lin thought about it, and couldn't help but keep some anticipation.

If the capacity of my brain is doubled, what kind of mental level will I achieve?

Maybe more than that.

The first layer of the "triple curtain" in the sage king's prophecy refers to the fact that human beings are limited by their own primitive perception and cannot directly perceive the deep existence of the world.

Although modern wizards claim to have lifted the curtain with the method of "imaging", in fact this is only a compromised method.In fact, even today, no one can directly see the existence in the imaginary world.

So, if one day he can completely take over the sensory organs of the shuttle demon, can he transcend the shackles of human beings and become a life form with dual existence in the virtual world and the material world?

Although at that point, I may no longer be called a human being.

But before these ideas appeared, Colin had already been thinking about how to completely erase the consciousness of the shuttle demon.Because he will never give the devil any chance to betray himself like the wizard "Horst".

I don't know if there will be any devil protection organization in this world in the future, but at least there is no such thing now.So Colin was also going to give it the most inhumane torture.

There is no need to feel uneasy in conscience, after all, this thing has already led countless people to a dead end.
