Uplifting Journey

The sudden reminder from the Lord of Infinity reminded Cheng Bin of many things in an instant.

Especially about the statement about returning to the "user" of authority, after a deep taste, it seems that a lot of information worth pondering can be unearthed.

"There are no other 'abnormalities', so this prompt should be a normal feedback of the fulfillment of the conditions. In other words, in the original track of Dr. Cheng, he came into contact with similar high-dimensional forces in the first trial world, and with more parallel worlds or more The connection between the 'self' at the time point is within the expected range of the Lord of Infinity?"

Looking back on his experience after entering the world, Cheng Bin seemed to realize something: "That's right, although Dr. Cheng's behavior could not be exactly the same as my probe, but his awakening of a substitute is a high probability event——

"After all, the power of the substitute is obvious to all. It was of great significance to Dr. Cheng who needed more power at that time. Even if he didn't know much script information as a parasitic Katz, he was fully capable of investigating the method of awakening the substitute by himself. "I" It’s only a matter of time before you get in touch with the double and dig out the secrets behind it.”

——Besides, the water in this world is very deep. Even if Dr. Cheng didn't take the initiative to awaken the double, I'm afraid it would be difficult to escape the end of "an arrow in the knee" like himself.

A burst of terrible pain like wringing out the brain interrupted Cheng Bin's contemplation. Here, he seemed to directly engrave the concept of "pain" into his soul, and turned his attention back from the information analysis work. Seeing that the center where one's consciousness gathers has been dismantled into a puddle of blood.

All kinds of defensive and functional biological organizations that have lost the central control have triggered a special mechanism to spontaneously decompose and integrate with the environment after a period of chaos. The entire underground cavity began to collapse and collapse in the self-destruction of most of the supporting structures.

Cheng Bin's remaining consciousness, through the only remaining sensory organs near the central core, or the channel through which the soul obtains perception information, saw the pale figure hovering steadily on the wreckage during the earth-shattering collapse.

Before the cave completely collapsed and the consciousness carrier was transferred, Cheng Bin, who had suspended the information sorting work, sighed to his theoretical double: "Why bother? Do you think that a little bit of painful information can break my will? You You must have underestimated 'myself' too much, right?"

In the collapsed cave, the pale phantom pierced by countless flesh and rock fragments looked indifferently.

"Okay." Cheng Bin, whose consciousness carrier is gradually disappearing, smiled, changed the subject and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, should I call you 'Kaz' or 'Infinity'? You should not be old enough to be called Is it called 'Cheng Bin'?"

I don't know which nerve this question touched the pale substitute, but the voice that suppressed the violent anger suddenly sounded in Cheng Bin's soul——

【I am. I am Katz! ! ! You lowly bug who dares to invade my perfect body! 】

Sensing the agitation of the part of his soul that was forgotten by the seal and belonging to the ultimate life, Cheng Bin understood: "That is to say, you are not 'infinity', but the part of 'Kaz' in 'infinity' Right? That's right, otherwise you wouldn't just use this method to deal with me."

This dialogue is not so much between the substitute and the substitute messenger, but rather between the dual personalities of the substitute messenger, wrestling with the part of his soul that is affected by the substitute, which is equivalent to fighting against himself. It made Cheng Bin feel a little troubled.

But who let him inherit most of Katz's memory and power after the mutation?

The so-called ripple consciousness is Katz’s soul that has been distorted and overwritten. In the latest discovery, the soul is more shaped by the special mold of the physical consciousness like molten iron. The consciousness of the soul seems to be completely consistent with the physical consciousness. But it is essentially an independent entity.

Except for the special guy like Cheng Bin who uses the soul algorithm as the standard of self-cognition, the soul is actually more like a dispensable parasite to ordinary people, and its mysterious source, its interaction with physical consciousness, They all prove that the purpose of its existence is not pure, and it does not even necessarily have the same soul algorithm core as the physical consciousness.

A situation like Cheng Bin's, where his consciousness is stored in his soul from the very beginning, and he has no physical consciousness at all.

Who can live in a black box with potential safety hazards at the beginning? Don't blame me for planning for the worst in advance. Cheng Bin thought to himself.

【. Cheng Bin, you can't defeat me. 】

The shadow of the pale double became thinner and thinner as the carrier of Cheng Bin's consciousness continued to collapse, but his voice, which hurt Cheng Bin's soul like lava, became deeper——

[No one can resist his own substitute, and you who cannot become a "transcendent" can only live in my shadow forever-every minute, every second, you must bear my erosion of your soul, Withstand the one-sided attack of the substitute ignoring the defense of the main body]

【give up! Join me! blend in with me! be me! This is your destined future, this is your destiny! 】

"Fate?" Cheng Bin sneered, "If this is really destined, then why are you still talking in vain? If you really have the ability to move freely, the moment I parasitize your soul, you should Do you want to expel and eliminate me? Don't tell me that your 'transcendent' doesn't even have the ability to actively choose a time point to influence.

"To put it bluntly, the current you is just a personality fragment created in my soul by the incompletely awakened double "Infinity" stimulated by the timeline next door and interfered by the Crimson King and the Silver Chariot Requiem. I have to rely on a part of my soul, does it make sense to say these fake words?"

The pale double figure completely blurred and dissipated in the collapsed cave. The new personality who claimed to be Katz was silent for a while, and then whispered in Cheng Bin's soul——

[. But the double is infinite after all, belongs to me, without my permission, you can't touch and use the power of the double, I won't and can't kill you, but you don't want to get anything from me, I will use everything The means always erode your consciousness and use the power of a substitute to destroy everything you own and care about.

[No one can resist their own substitute, I will wait until the day you fail, until the moment you kneel down to me and respect me as king. Believe me, it won't be too long. 】

Katz's soul language gradually became ethereal and unpleasant. Facing its extremely real threat, Cheng Bin nodded in agreement in his heart: "It just so happens that the development cycle of projects related to the Heart Project is too long, and there are some soul levels in this world." I don't want to be pestered and harassed by you for so long

"So, let's end this at once."

Katz, who was eroding Cheng Bin's soul with the help of a stand-in power, was stunned. The next moment, the pain that caused his sanity to collapse made him let out an unbelievable cry——

【how dare you? ! 】

In the depths of the chaotic research base, Diablo stood there with blank eyes, a red and white arm pierced his chest, and the palm that penetrated the back was crushed in the splashing blood broke his heart.

The man with long crimson hair trembled and lost strength in his legs, hanging all his weight on the arms that pierced his chest.

The Crimson King, who was so relaxed as if he was holding a piece of paper, snorted softly, and pulled his arm from the limp corpse. His four eyes watched the body of this world fall, and then turned to look at Jing A silver-haired man standing aside.

In other words, he looked at the weird double that covered the silver-haired man, whose appearance was as black as ink but had a mirror-like texture.

".Silver Chariot Requiem."
