Chapter 2534 Tan Mo's Experiment

Year 9571 of the Holy Calendar, Moon of Light, 1st Day of Chanting

Game time AM06:12

Eastern part of Innocence Continent, Maple Sugar Town

"By the way~"

In the corner of the second floor of the only bar in town, a bard leaning against the window played "Morning in the Suburbs of Mexico" and asked his beautiful and deadly female companion in a light tone: "Have I ever told you that this is where I was born?"

Being asked to think rationally, the spider shook his head slightly, revealing an intellectual smile that was rare in the [Realm of Innocence], and said with a smile: "This is the first time I've heard you mention this."

"I know this place..."

Rona, who was much more eye-catching than her two companions in appearance, was wearing a black dress and had long gray hair. She stared at the dawn outside the window in a trance and murmured, "Maple Sugar Town, we have been here together before, Lada, Dave, Cole... and me."

Similar to the girl who insisted on visiting Cole's dream for a long time, the girl named Rona Yuehui has the same appearance as she did when she was alive. Except for the "fatal" penetrating wound around her right eye which will take some time to heal, so it is covered by exquisite and elegant lace, her appearance is almost exactly the same as the elf female wizard who died more than half a year ago.

There is no doubt that she is Rona Yuehui. Both her body and soul belong to the once energetic and quirky girl.

If there is any difference, the only difference is the long, smooth hair that was originally pure gold but has now turned gray, and the slightly sickly skin that has become more delicate, white and cooler than before.

Coupled with this exquisitely crafted black dress, I am afraid that in the eyes of most people, Rona at this moment is more attractive than she was in her lifetime.

However, to Rona herself, none of this mattered.

Although his sight has been restored, his right eye is still hideous from a visual perspective.

His elemental perception and magic control level were much stronger than he remembered.

It’s good that I got clothes that used to make me unable to move just by looking at them.

It would be fine if I were Rona Yuehui who came back from the dead.

For some reason, the girl found it difficult to arouse interest in these things.

She knew that she was Rona, and she also knew how special what happened to her was, but she was hardly moved by these things. Although Mr. Tan Mo could easily make her thoughts ripple, these ripples could not go further and turn into stormy waves to bring back the noisy little girl of the past.

If it was the real Rona Yuehui, let alone experiencing it personally, I'm afraid that just hearing this story would make her so excited that she wouldn't be able to sleep for several days.

The distracted girl thought so, allowing her thoughts to wander endlessly. Her eyes gradually lost focus, and her temperament gradually began to change from that of a 'living person' to something closer to a 'doll'.

And [Doll] is exactly the role that Mo Tan gave her.

As a special role in a public welfare organization that is independent of the regular system and completely serves a certain "ace", Rona Yuehui got such a nickname on the day of "awakening".

Like [Maid], [Supervisor], and [Clown], [Doll] is also a name that Mo Tan, in his current personality, came up with without any responsibility and at random.

But in the eyes of Spider, who had been working together with Rona and living with her day and night for the past two days, this nickname was very suitable for her.

A delicate, beautiful, fragile creature that possesses many human characteristics but has absolutely no breath of life, as if it is just a shell, a 'doll' that can be manipulated at will.

"Oh?"

Mo Tan looked at the doll with interest and asked in a light tone, "So, was there anything that happened that day that you remember vividly?"

“As I recall, Radha was drunk and it was the first time he was allowed to drink.”

Rona hesitated for a moment, then said in her soft voice without obvious ups and downs, "Perhaps because he looks older, when Lada asked the owner of this tavern for wine, the other party did not do much verification, and when everyone found out that he was just a child, he was already angry and drunk."

Mo Tan nodded slightly and said with interest: "I remember that kid seemed to be interested in our Xiao Ai. Haha, then what happened? What happened?"

"Dave and Cole subdued Rada in the first place. It wasn't difficult for them. Cole's flexibility allowed him to mediate with Rada and attract his attention."

Rona knew everything and said to Mo Tan very meekly: "And Dave only needs to knock him out from behind when Lada isn't paying attention."

Mo Tan smacked his lips and said honestly, "It sounds pretty boring."

"That may be true, but for three young men who have hardly ever left Pato City, that day was an exciting experience."

Rona looked out the window again. She said "excited" but her tone was calm as she continued, "Later, we were kicked out. Dave had to carry Lada on his back, while I took Cole with me to pick out a gift for Xiao Ai."

Although he said he was bored, Mo Tan, who always had an interested expression, plucked the strings of his zither twice, and continued to ask amidst a burst of harsh noises: "What gift? Why didn't you bring her along?"

"Because we wanted to give her a surprise, and the most important factor of a surprise is 'surprise'."

Rona thought for a moment and added, "At least that's what I thought at the time."

Mo Tan responded casually without commenting, and then asked, "So what surprises have you prepared?"

"Dave bought an opal bracelet, which was the most expensive, but I know Xiao Ai doesn't like those overly flashy styles; Lada bought a lot of Maple Town specialty sweets, which were later shared and eaten by everyone on Xiao Ai's birthday."

Rona recalled what happened at that time and whispered, "My gift was a homemade clover bookmark, but I found a nice rope here to string it together. As for Cole... he went to the black market and bought a stone that was said to have been blessed by the bishop of the Sun Cult himself and contained a blessing spell."

Mo Tan laughed in silence and asked curiously, "Could it be the real thing?"

"I think so."

Rona thought for a few seconds, then said seriously, "Because I felt very uncomfortable when I recalled the stone, so it must be the real thing."

Mo Tan blew a loud whistle and exclaimed, "This is really a verification method I never expected."

After that, Rona talked a lot more. Although the content was nothing but the ordinary daily life of a country kid in the eyes of normal players, the latter listened with gusto. Not only did he not interrupt her midway because the content was not interesting enough, he would even ask many boring details in order to continue the topic.

"How did Lada get back later?"

“Dave carried it back.”

"Why didn't Cole carry it?"

"Cole can't carry it."

"Is Xiao Ai happy after receiving the gift?"

"Well, I'm glad."

"Do you think Dave was officially a cult member at that time?"

"I don't know." "Did your guardian criticize or educate you after finding out you were absent from home?"

"Have."

“Is everyone’s birthday this lively?”

"Xiao Ai is more introverted, so we will be more attentive."

"What did Cole give you on your birthday that year?"

"The sixteen-hole organ he made himself."

"What did Dave get you?"

"Can not remember."

"Where's Cole's organ?"

"I put it in a box. It contains important things."

"Where's the box?"

"I think my parents will bury me there as a cenotaph."

"Then can we go dig your grave together later?"

"it is good."

There was no problem of communication barrier. Rona could answer every question of Mo Tan very well, and the interaction between the two was also normal. However, in the eyes of Spider on the side, this conversation revealed a strange sense of incongruity.

The source of the sense of disharmony naturally could not be 'Tan Mo'. In fact, Spider always had an illusion that any action of this man was not only 'unusual' within the scope of common sense, but was often accompanied by a very faint sense of disharmony.

Spider couldn't see the essence of the disharmony, but as a special person who could hardly suppress her inner madness, any destructive impulse and whim would be infinitely magnified, and her mental state was always in "sub-health" and "collapse". She instinctively wanted to get close to Mo Tan in a certain morbid mentality that could be explained by science and rationality.

It is a dual tendency towards rationality and loss of control, the last act of self-rescue on the brink of collapse, and a dose of Schrödinger's drastic medicine.

Maybe there's an antidote.

Maybe, it's poison.

But the spider had no choice.

Although she had successfully suppressed her mental problems for more than twenty years, the [Realm of Innocence] became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

In this logical and reasonable world, Zhu Zhi, who goes by the alias Spider, unscrupulously vents the madness that has been suppressed by reason for too long and has transformed from a "disease" into an "obsession". However, this madness not only does not stop after being vented, but instead swallows her up like a dam bursting.

The knowledgeable Zhu Zhi easily came to this despairing conclusion, but the out-of-control spider deep in her heart did not restrain itself at all, but instead became even worse.

Therefore, the spider, who had already foreseen that he would eventually lose control in reality, had no choice but to take this strong medicine and chose the latter between destruction and the unknown.

She didn't know whether Tan Mo, who was almost at the end of the concept of "madness" and seemed as cold as a machine, could save herself, but she knew very well that she was no longer able to save herself.

As for Mo Tan himself in his current personality... he actually doesn't feel anything about it.

Although in the eyes of the spider, he is the so-called "Schrödinger's elixir", but from Mo Tan's own perspective, everything is so orderly, and there has never been any "unknown".

He can destroy spiders.

He can save the spiders.

He can distort the other person's worldview.

He can erase their independent will and turn them into an obedient puppet.

It's not that Mo Tan possesses some terrifying black technology, but in front of a person who places all his hopes on himself and whose disease is as severe as his eyelid twitching, any smart person can actually gain god-like authority.

The real difficulty is never to do whatever you want to someone like Spider, but to let someone like Spider give you the right to do whatever you want to her.

He can turn the spider back into a normal person, or make it a fanatical madman, a reactionary thug, a martyred pioneer, a merciful Madonna, or his own mistress.

In the end, Mo Tan chose to make the spider his own experimental subject.

The reason was simple. Although the spider's 'disease' seemed very low-level to Mo Tan, so low-level that he didn't even need to worry about it, and even if he found a better psychologist, it could be cured slowly. However, the existence of the [Realm of Innocence] caused this 'little problem' to undergo a qualitative change.

The Spider is torn apart by the "real world" that must be extremely suppressed and the "world of innocence" where one can vent madness and impulse without restraint.

Thus, she became a rare specimen, an experimental subject that allowed Mo Tan to continuously study the phenomenon of "tearing" through fine-tuning without having to pay any additional cost.

It has nothing to do with human nature, good and evil, right and wrong, or any factors that are irrelevant to the existence of 'Tanmo'.

The spider's illness itself caused the coin, which was originally destined to land on either heads or tails, to stop upright on the ground.

And he is not Mo Tan's only experimental subject.

Ai Fanye was once a test subject used by Mo Tan to seek answers in religion, but she showed enough value in the process, so Mo Tan pulled her back from the brink of losing herself and she became the current [Supervisor].

Salia Keyus and Remlia Keyus, who have two souls in one body, are experimental subjects that Mo Tan values ​​very much. Because they have never been able to show their value, Mo Tan did not hesitate to carry out the experiment to the end and turned them into the current Countess Resa Keyus.

Diana A. Archizorti was originally a tool used by the Motan Project to analyze the underlying logic of this world's mysticism, but this plan seemed to have gone out of control from the very beginning, so that at this moment, although he still could not fully understand what kind of foul existence the other party was, he was forced to change from a dominant to an equal position with the other party. Fortunately, he seemed to enjoy it.

As for Rona Moonlight——

It is Mo Tan’s latest toy.

The current topic is "Can a soul that is incomplete due to an unforced error also represent its existence when it returns?"

Mo Tan is not Merlin. He does not like to impose his will on anyone. Compared to the simple, efficient but not interesting way, he prefers to let them go to the "end point" after a little guidance, regardless of whether it is under his control.

This is also the fundamental reason why he, as his 'first experimental subject', is so uncontrollable and does whatever he wants.

Those eyes that are high and mighty, cold enough to not allow for any emotion, can certainly accommodate the "self" who is at the other extreme.
