Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 89: The real corner of the landkeeper Axel plan (5400)
When Roland returned to his home, his father, Moda, had already fallen into delirious delirium.
He was lying on the bed, muttering some inexplicable words to himself all the time, which couldn't be connected into sentences at all, and he was very excited from time to time.
Several doctors and monks from the Huaiguang Church are trying to calm Moda's emotions, but obviously, this kind of lesion that has penetrated into the brain is already difficult to treat. Even if they use some sublimation techniques, it is nothing more than temporarily quieting Moda meeting.
"What happened?"
Even a good-tempered person like Roland was in a hurry. As soon as he got home, he came to his father's bedside, then turned to look at the medical staff on the side, and asked patiently, "My father was still in good condition when I left. Now that it's getting better, I thought he had already thought about it...he could still give me a slap at that time!"
"I'm sorry, sir, but your father..."
The medical personnel hesitated, but finally shook their heads: "Your father was once under the influence of quite powerful psychic powers. Whether it is maintained in a hallucination, or regained consciousness after being broken by someone, it can make him His spirit returned to normal."
"But your father has not come out. Although he broke free from the illusion, he would rather live in the illusion. He is clearly awake, but he still does not want to wake up... This contradictory state has hurt him too much."
Roland froze in place.
How could he not know about his father's condition? Lord Yin En told him in detail how he solved the conspiracy of the former Lord Lai'an and how he deceived Steward Moda and harmed the territory. Helping Steward Moda to break free from Yin La's psionic power was one of the links. He also breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Yin En for helping his father get out of this layer of confusion, without being deceived by Baron Laian.
But now it seems... my father would rather continue to be deceived?
This...
Not surprising.
Roland is no longer a child. He knows very well that sometimes, he knows the 'right' thing early on, but people just want to choose the 'wrong' thing. If mistakes can bring good memories, why do you have to do the right thing?
But he didn't expect his father to be so persistent.
He wanted to die with the illusion in his memory.
"Dad, why..."
Lying beside the bed, Roland held Moda's hand with extremely complicated emotions. If possible, he really hoped that his father could get up and slap him again, while the aging man in front of him could only mutter to himself and repeat some fragmented words.
"So you just wait like this? Waiting for your father's death?"
At this moment, Roland heard a familiar voice behind him.
Accompanied by gentle footsteps, Yin En came into the room. He lowered his eyes, looked at the person in charge of the engineering department who was surprised by him, and said calmly: "Even if your father wants to die by himself... you have no reason to do so." Obey his wishes?"
"If you really are such an obedient child, then your father didn't want you to leave Lai'an, why did you still go against his wishes and go to the Falling Star Hills?"
"I..."
Yin En's words indeed revealed the most difficult point for Roland now - what he was most worried about was that his father didn't want to live anymore.
The reason why Roland worked so hard to make achievements was because he hoped that his father would regain his will to live in the world again through his own efforts.
But who knew that just after he made an achievement, his father had already become like this? Moreover, even if extreme measures were used to bring his father back to life, Namoda would still choose to die one day.
Is this really good?
"Don't think about these things."
Yin En seemed to be able to see through Roland's conflicted heart. He smiled slightly and said calmly: "As the lord, I will make the choice for you."
"Don't worry about whether your father will blame you in the future, and whether your actions violate human ethics or morality. I will do it."
Yin En turned his head to the side, and said to Adalbert, "The old shadow."
Adelbert also nodded, he unfolded the box in his hand, took out a test tube from it, and sucked it in with a syringe.
"You are all my lord's property, my property. You are all my currency, don't think that you can choose the ending of death at will."
Looking at Guying at a loss as to what to do, he approached his father with the injection. He could instinctively understand that the alchemy potion in the injection might be able to save his father—and this was the lord's own decision. , not because he violated his father's wishes.
He didn't need to do anything, he just needed to watch from the sidelines. Yin En obviously knew about his father's situation a long time ago and made special preparations.
Yes. His lord is so smart and foresighted, how could he let himself working under him face such a dilemma?
Working under Yin En is always so comfortable, he will prepare everything for everyone, as long as everything is carried out according to his plan, everything will have a good ending.
…
"Let me do it, my lord."
Standing up, Roland made up his mind and stood in front of Guying, while Adbert turned his head to look at Yin En.
Yin En raised his brows, he didn't say much, he just reminded: "Have you ever learned spinal cord injection? Guying is a sublimator, he can inject medicine with bare hands, you are not."
Roland was stunned for a moment, but he insisted: "You must have thought about it. If it doesn't work, just let me do it. This is my choice, and I should bear the responsibility. I don't need you to replace me, my lord." Commitment."
"OK."
Yin En nodded slightly, while Adbert shook his head, sighed, with an expression of "Yin En has seen through everything", and then took Roland to inject medicine for Moda.
"Turn your father over."
Dead King Researcher Rou Judao: "He is still healthy, but his brain is diseased, which is regarded as spiritual death-and we will try to use another alternative method to restore part of his normal thinking ability."
"You know, whether it is depression or mania, it will directly affect people's thinking and emotions. As long as you can restore normal thinking ability, maybe your father will not want to die so much?"
This is a consolation, but also a judgment. Roland knew very well that the other party wanted to make him relax, and he was indeed a gentle person.
But what he thought was actually very simple.
"Want to die?"
Cooperate with Adbert to fix Steward Moda, and then assist the other party to inject the tube of dark blue medicine into the spinal cavity, his eyes are deep: "You useless father, you can't do anything in this life Let me live according to your will, whether it's me becoming a mechanical engineer, or you want to die and I don't want you to die!"
And after injecting the medicine.
Visible to the naked eye, Moda's manager's condition has recovered a lot.
At least he is no longer delirium, breathing much more calmly.
"Just wait."
Yin En narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickered, and then said: "It will take effect in a few days, and Manager Moda will be able to regain consciousness by then."
"Roland, don't disturb your father now. I know you have a lot of things you want to ask me, let's go out and talk."
To be honest, Roland didn't want to ask Yin En anything.
This is probably one of Yin En's shortcomings. He always instinctively thinks that everyone is like him and has a lot of curiosity. For example, Roland would want to know what potion Yin En used to save his life. his father.
But in fact, where do ordinary people think so much - shouldn't an alchemist lord have this ability? No matter when Yin En took out any medicine to solve any problem, it was a normal thing.
It's all in the story!
So Roland didn't have any doubts about the 'artificial soul potion'. Instead, he formally swore allegiance to Yin En - not just a working relationship, but to the lord himself, the name Yin En.
This made Yin En, who had prepared a lot of speeches, very depressed.
"Aren't they really curious?"
After leaving Roland's house, Yin En complained to Adalbert: "This is completely unknown, there is no description of the efficacy of the medicine, and there is no clinical trial certificate or guaranteed three-no drug - Roland is so relieved, how can he actually use it? Do you even ask?"
"Isn't this normal? People are dying, and the lord kindly gave you medicine to save people. Who would ask what medicine the other party took out at this time?"
Adelbert looked blank, he shook his head and said, "Yin En, what you said seems to have no EQ than me!"
It is difficult for Yin En to accept being told by Adalbert that he has no EQ.
And Adbert pursued: "And, Yin En, according to your habits, you will not carry out this plan until you are sure that you can save Moda and take care of things?"
He understands Yin En. Yin En did make this plan because he predicted that Moda's management situation would be stable.
The manager of Moda happened to be an old man, an acquaintance Yin En knew, a person with mental illness and serious brain disease, and a person who was about to die, and would surely die if he didn't use the medicine.
No matter from any point of view, Manager Moda is the most suitable person to use the first batch of "artificial souls".
So, as soon as Yin En knew about Moda's management situation, Yin En classified it as the target of artificial soul experiment subjects and carried out pre-cognition screening.
It is also impossible for Yadbert to choose other candidates.
As for the result...
Just wait.
Four days later.
Steward Moda recovered from a coma.
There are many people in the small room. Except for Roland, Yin En, Scott, and Adalbert were all present. Besides, Qingchao was guarding the goal, and Old Fal also came here as soon as he finished handling government affairs.
Up to now, the entire government affairs team of Leader Xiahui has gathered here.
In this way, no matter how careless Roland is, he can understand that the medicine injected on his father is undoubtedly very important... It can even be said to be an experimental product that affects the future decision-making of the entire territory.
Not only that... Roland, who had communicated with Manager Moda, had indeed discovered something abnormal about his father.
"My lord?"
On the bed, Steward Moda raised his head, his loose eyes refocused, and he looked at the white-haired boy standing beside his bed: "You are here... What a wonderful potion, I feel now... I have never seen it before. sobriety and tranquility.”
The old man’s tone was calm, his expression was soft, and he couldn’t see the melancholy and decadent taste of the past at all: “The time of extreme depression in the past feels like a dream. Is the me in the past really me? In other words..."
Roland also looked at his father with some worry - he thought that Manager Moda would seek death after waking up, or blamed himself for interrupting his death process.
However, after the old man woke up, he actually gave him a hug, and told him frankly that he was wrong during that time, and his mind fell into irreversible darkness, so he looked at everything in the world without the slightest color.
But now that the color has returned, how could he be willing to die again after seeing such an outstanding achievement of the child?
Because it was too beautiful and the reversal was too straightforward without any foreshadowing, Roland even suspected that it was Yin En who added some kind of boosting potion to his father.
But apparently not.
Because Yin En is also a little surprised, this expression cannot be faked.
"Unexpectedly, you seem to have completely recovered the state when we first met."
Yin En walked into the bed, he sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Manager Moda: "Do you have any doubts? The potion given to you is a brand-new experimental product, which can create a part of your soul for you, to come Replace the regional thinking of brain lesions, and reverse your depression caused by brain changes."
"I don't have any doubts, I just feel grateful for your kindness to me."
Steward Moda shook his head slightly, he paused for a while, and then he said in confusion: "I just, in my mind, have an extremely clear and vivid memory—I can feel that my sadness and pain at that time were It's real, and now my peace and relief are real."
"But, just a little soul, a little restoration, can it really make such a huge change? I'm someone who has already died once, my lord, so I dare to ask, is this what you want me to do? Survive, so the element of 'peace and relief' has been added to the soul bestowed on me?"
The old man and the young man looked at each other. A few seconds later, Steward Moda lowered his head. He sighed and said, "Of course not. You wouldn't do it. It's not because you don't want to, but because it's unnecessary."
"So I'm just confused, is this newly acquired soul really my soul?"
"Or, is the decadent and self-defeating person in the past 'I', or is it 'I' with this person who can calmly examine his wrong thoughts?"
That's a good question.
What exactly is 'I'? The body, or the soul?
In Terra Continent, everyone regards their souls as themselves... Both are 'I'.
The thoughts of the soul are undoubtedly the thoughts of oneself.
However, the boundary between the second energy level and the third energy level is actually the integration of 'soul and body' thinking.
In other words, before the third energy level, the thinking of the soul and the body are different. There are different ideas between the two 'I'.
Because the body is affected by hormones, the thinking of the body depends on the brain, which is changeable without knowing it.
The soul is only derived from memory and obsession, but it is also easy to fall into extremes and paranoia.
This is the source of legends such as demons, illusions, and demon temptations.
Both kinds of thinking and wisdom have limitations, but they can complement each other.
For sublimators, they need to integrate the two, overcome the demons in their hearts, and turn the two into the nourishment of the "heart light".
The "heart light" which represents the "unified wisdom of body and soul" is the ticket to "wisdom and truth" and "true wisdom".
So, in theory, the thinking of the soul cannot fully represent a person.
The wisdom of the soul, the thoughts of the soul, are essentially a reproduction of the physical thinking, and then give birth to a "higher echo"!
It's like a person who uploads all his thoughts to the network through a machine. The network has his complete wisdom and thinking, but his body still has thinking.
On Earth, the body is naturally the most important thing, so compared to the body, the thoughts in the network are echoes.
The essence of the soul, isn't it just a natural 'thought upload' based on the spirit matter and source matter?
But in Terra, because the essence of the uploaded data of the soul is still uploaded to the natural database of the body, the two can be regarded as one... It is higher than the ordinary echo, but it needs to go to the third energy level. tend to be consistent.
So... a mirror image!
—Yeah, echoes and mirrors!
The reason why my family was exiled to Nanling, and the plan of the landkeeper Axel!
Staring at the dazed but still calm old man in front of him, Yin En suddenly felt a little dazed.
It turns out... this is also an echo!
The third energy level, the integration of soul and body, is essentially the process of sublimating the echoes into mirror images, and then the mirrors face each other in pairs to merge into the real self!
But the doubts that Moda is in charge of now, to put it bluntly, is that a relatively normal soul is bred in an abnormal body. The two are similar but not unified, so they are not mirror images, but more similar to echoes.
Naturally, as an echo, the soul that can think normally will be puzzled by the body that has almost lost the ability to think normally.
"It seems that I somewhat understand why the empire let the Institute of the Senses support the research behind the Avak collar——Emperor Axel, this guy, his real purpose may not be to invade Isengard Or someone else's body!"
After seeing through this point, a waterfall of information flows in Yin En's heart at this moment. He extracts all kinds of information from the silver chip and his own memory, and feels that he has revealed layers of fog covering the truth.
Events that I thought were very clear have been stripped of a layer of clothing and become more real and clear.
The plan of Axel, the guardian of the earth, finally revealed a corner before Yin En himself when he also created an artificial soul and observed the contradiction between the soul and the body!
"His research on echoes and mirror images is essentially digging out the essence of 'soul'! He is looking for the origin of physical thinking and spiritual thinking, looking for the differences and integration points between the two, and wants to find the 'first' The real mystery of the three energy levels'!"
"For the powerhouse of the third energy level, the integration point is a 'dream'."
"But this answer is definitely not enough for Axel. This is an answer that can only "free" himself. The 'revenge and protection consensus' is not enough, he wants to find a broader 'consensus' that is acceptable to everyone in the entire empire."
"A 'standard answer'!"
"What is his purpose? Does he also want everyone in the empire to have artificial souls, and even break through the level of the third energy level? But he doesn't want to create a dead king... Then, he wants to To create a large number of souls with the essence of the third energy level? But this is impossible, because apart from 'consensus', the most important thing is the thinking of 'firm belief', without this, even if integrated, they are still fragile ordinary people."
"There must be another purpose."
Thinking about this, Yin En froze for a moment.
Because he suddenly thought of what Steward Moda had just said to him.
【My lord, so I dare to ask, is it because you want me to survive, so you have added the element of 'peace and relief' to the soul you bestowed on me? 】
Yes.
The echo can be tampered with, adding some information...
Supposing that Axel, the keeper, wants to find a way to affect the thinking of everyone in the entire empire through artificial souls based on the research on artificial souls and echoes...
Maybe this explains what he's been doing all along? !
