Phyllis looked at the sad expression of the boy in front of her, gritted her teeth, and finally chose to raise her hand.

"Don't do this, Phyllis. You won't be able to turn back."

That look of sadness was something she had never seen on John before, so it couldn't be John.

The airflow tore the opponent's body apart, and the wild laughter kept echoing in Cai Piao's mind.

【231】The essence of the torch and the so-called continuity of existence in this world

So-called love refers to the emotion that one person gives to another.

Well, there is a problem here.

The objects of love are many, but they are clear.

Even if you just like someone, there are many different kinds of love.

For example, loving something about the other person, such as money, talent, personality, or appearance.

For example, loving a certain existence that you expect through the other person, or a low-class idol who has a lot of problems but is still a "child" in the eyes of fans at the age of 30.

Or, for example, its existence itself.

These three are three levels in a gradual progression.

And this is also the standard that Yang Wu Qu uses to judge the other person - partial love, distorted by love, and pure love.

【Before I tell you about John, let me ask a few questions. 】

What do you love about John?

[Talent, character, appearance, soul... or all of them? ]

"Of course all of them!"

Feilei answered without hesitation.

The boy named John is the only person she has found since she came to this world who has always made her heart beat. He is innocent and beautiful, willing to give everything for her and makes her willing to give everything for him.

So, Phyllis said the word "all" easily.

【How decisive. 】

It sounded like a sigh, but there was a hint of mockery in the voice.

[So, what if your John wants to kill you? If he thinks you would be happier dead...what would you do?]

"That won't happen."

The Red World Demon King's answer was extremely firm.

Phyllis knew everything about the boy whom she had been watching since birth, so she was absolutely sure that he would never do that.

【reason? 】

"John has been born..."

She began to talk incessantly about her past with her lover.

From the beginning, she met a man who was good at bragging, to fulfilling many of the man's wishes out of interest, to finding a beautiful and stupid princess as the man's wife, and finally giving birth to a child named John.

Her initial interest in the man's wild imagination disappeared completely when he planned to sacrifice his child to some unknown red world criminal in order to prosper.

After that, Phyllis spent a long time with John, in a state of mind that she herself did not understand, and was eventually confessed to by the other party.

The eternal vow also began from then on.

If it had a body, Yang Wu Qu would probably yawn.

No, even in his current state he wanted to yawn.

Not only did he already know the story, he had even experienced it from a first-person perspective, but also because the other party's speech was full of "self-righteousness".

How should this be explained?

It is similar to the second level of love. There is something about the other person that touches her, and then under factors similar to self-hypnosis and sunk costs, Phyllis falls in love with John.

Of course, he would not say that this kind of love is fake. After all, the love of many people is almost like this. It is better to say that this situation proves that the mental state of the Red World people is similar to that of humans.

According to many pacifist people who are friendly to other races, as long as they can communicate and their existence does not need to harm humans, they can be considered friendly races.

Of course, for many keyboard warriors who only talk, even if they want to eat people, as long as the person looks acceptable, they can use the reason that the person they are eating is the body of someone who died in an accident.

For Yang Wu Qu, the fact that the other party's mental state is close to that of a human does not bring any benefit to the other party.

It should be said that it was just the opposite. The thing that made John worried and even determined to kill the other party with his own hands became possible.

【Thank you for telling me this. 】

[In return, I will answer your question about John's whereabouts as agreed before.]

【Just now, John died. 】

[Killed by your own hands.]

“…You’re lying to me.”

[Let me tell you how he became a member of the Red World. ]

[The existence of the so-called torch was proved after I completed the analysis.]

[Its essence is the individual's unconsciousness and the extended consciousness. Under the influence of the special energy that can carry the spirit - the power of existence, it is like a stone tablet with words engraved on it.]

[Just as a stone tablet will be worn away by the blade of time, and the words on it will gradually disappear, the torch will be insufficient in its power of existence, causing the last traces of someone who was originally "alive" to disappear completely, as if they had never existed.]

【According to this logic, the moment the boy named John became a torch for you, he had already died by self-immolation.】

"What a joke!"

"You bastard! If you're just trying to amuse me, get out of here! My John is alive! He's been with me for so many years!"

[Very good, you are willing to accept that this "John" is your lover. ]

[Yang Wu Qu] did not directly deny the other party, but rather said that this was exactly what he wanted to see.

Just like there must always be a supporting actor in crosstalk, otherwise some of the funny points will not be so easy to show.

The best way to defeat a person's sanity is not to destroy his body, but to let him torture himself.

The Red World's inmates have similar mental states to humans, which means their methods of destroying each other are the same.

So--

[Since you believe that a stone tablet made of "limestone" has all the traces of a person engraved on it, and that this stone tablet is your lover, then why is it not your lover after all the traces of a person are engraved on another stone tablet made of "basalt"? ]

"……What's the meaning?"

[As I said, the existence of the torch itself is not because of a soul residing in that energy ball of existence that operates in a free and fixed logic, but it is similar to the way of sculpture, carving the individual unconsciousness of the individual into it. The "sculptor" as a sculptor is not the dead person, but "humanity" itself - or, in other words, the collective unconsciousness of mankind. ]

[According to this logic, if one were to select one person's individual unconsciousness from the human unconsciousness that contains all the individual unconsciousness of humanity and engrave it into the body of a Red World Cultist whose consciousness has been almost completely destroyed, then a certain degree of resurrection could be achieved.]

[So, guess what—]

[As a test subject to prove this concept, what is his name? ]

[232] Divine Grace

A shrill wail that was not human voice sounded, and the slender Red World Devil tore at his face.

"not like this……"

“It shouldn’t be like this…”

"John..."

Like a pighead shouting "Swallow, how can I live without you?", Filis exudes the aura of a loser that makes [Yang Wu Qu] happy.

He was not a loser, nor a bootlicker, but the loser he loved the most, who tried his best but ended up unsuccessful. This reminded him of his own miserable appearance when his chances of victory were thwarted time and time again.

How does the saying go? When you see other people’s misfortunes, your own misfortunes don’t seem that bad.

Although it is a heresy, it is very true based on my personal experience.

【How does it feel? 】

"Bad taste."

There is no tone of approval in the words of the Creator God.

[Tsk tsk, you are willing to affirm the wishes of the Red World followers, but regard my request as a bad taste. Sacrifice Snake, I didn’t expect you to be so hypocritical. 】

"..."

Wei Wu, the sacrificial snake revered as the God of Creation, actually has a surprisingly high degree of recognition for beings other than the Crimson World - humans, and is happy to acknowledge their desires.

Just like when He created Paradise and the Great Chain thousands of years ago, He also included a part of human beings and allowed them to become part of that great new world.

However, the only thing was that this guy in front of him, even though his desire to destroy beauty and create misfortune was not uncommon among the people of the Red World, some feeling told the Sacrifice Snake Wei Wu that he could not acknowledge him.

"What are you trying to do by doing this?"

The topic had to continue after all, asked the sacrificial snake Weiwu.

[Hmm? Mainly because I wanted to see her current ugly face of regret. Well, this is not the kind of novel that describes in detail the scenes of the other party being in love with the person they like, or even some flag scenes like "I will recognize you no matter what you become". I can only see her ending like a dog. This pain is still a little worse, but it does not prevent me from "quenching my thirst". ]

[Let me introduce you to her current situation——]

As soon as he finished speaking, the God of Creation and his priestess witnessed an astonishing scene.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Compared with the original despair, there were more screams of pain.

Flesh and bones are growing, breaking through the limitations of the skin.

The slender Red World Demon King lost his female form and turned into a mass of flesh over three meters tall.

Something that looked like a heart and also like a petri dish was beating with life.

"Boom-thump-"

[Isn't she beautiful? I call her God's Grace Baby·Cai Piao, which not only commemorates the Red World Demon King·Cai Piao·Files who sacrificed her life for her, but also makes her look classy.]

"What is that thing... used for?"

The God of Creation asked in a deep voice, a sense of crisis that he had never experienced before surged in his heart, even when many Fire Mist Warriors sacrificed their lives to use the secret method of exile without return.

[Give the Crimson World and the higher-level Crimson World Demon King a cultivation chamber that allows them to stay in the world and exert their power without consuming the power of existence. Oh, by the way, after using this thing, there should be no problem using the free method, but the power in the body will become something between the power of existence and magic power. After all, in this world, magic power is basically mental power, and the power of existence is the special mental power of the unconscious. Do you need me to explain to you what the unconscious are? ]

"The reason you did that to Ayano... is it because only in that state could you turn her into what she is now?"

Without asking about knowledge he did not know, the God of Creation keenly realized that the changes in Filis just now might not be as simple as it seemed.

"You first used John to hit the opponent hard, leaving a medium or something inside the opponent's body, and then destroyed the mind... or you met other conditions. Anyway, Firis lost the ability to resist just now, so you turned her into this?"

[Why do you think so? You obviously didn't use the free method of exploration... Oh, I almost forgot that old guy Ke Guolong added elemental vision to this thing at my request. It is still possible to see the energy flow and some byproducts of the violent insects. ]

The voice of [Yangwu Qu] sounds a little annoyed.

"You don't seem to have thought of this, so... you must have deliberately wanted me to see that thing."

"but why?"

Obviously, no matter what he wants to do, as long as he keeps it a secret from Him, Yang Wuqu should be able to achieve his goal more easily by relying on the innocent character of the sacrificial snake Weiwu from beginning to end.

[Of course, it’s to make you ask me to use this thing! ]

The man's voice suddenly became cheerful.

[What I injected into Felis's body was a specially made upgraded version of the Violent Worm that is used against the Crimson World's Crimson World's Devil. This Violent Worm has many abilities and limitations against the Crimson World's Devil King.]

[For example, the host must be in the moment before a mental breakdown in order to absorb emotions and generate special MAOA genes. You can regard this gene as a gene that will prompt people to commit violent crimes. Although the Red World has no such thing as genes, I will explain it this way for the time being.]

[The special MAOA gene will lock onto the host, keeping the host in this mental state, and maintaining a good "environment" for continued production of MAOA genes. When the MAOA gene is produced enough, it will be like the scientific research point in the virus game, using the divine fetus as a breeding base to cultivate viruses in a targeted manner, as well as mutate additional products that may or may not be useful.]

[As long as the Red World absorbs these viruses (violent worms), they will be like the incarnated Heroic Spirits. Instead of obtaining a fictitious body formed by the energy itself, they will obtain a body recognized by the world, without having to eat humans to obtain energy.]

[At the same time, they will increase the weakness of not being able to use the Purification Fire to quickly recover after being injured. ]

[Overall, it's a good thing. How is it? Are you excited? ]

"...You didn't tell me why you wanted me to beg you."

If this virus really only has this side effect, there is no reason for the other party to say this.
