"Some people will be corrupted by money, some people will be corrupted by ideals, and some people will be corrupted by family affection. Although they can be named with hopes, dreams, and love, they will eventually change their original selves."
"Corruption is not pure deterioration, but changes the target in the direction you want. In a sense, it can also be seen as 'cultivation' with rougher means and more self-interest."
"Different people have different demands, so the methods of corruption are also different. Grasping the key is the focus of corruption."
In a not too exaggerated two-story building at the junction of Backlund's West District and Queens District, Snow was holding a delicate sapphire blue pen and writing in Chinese the rules of acting he had summarized.
Thanks to the fact that he is now related to the fate of many small people, the performance of the Corrupted Baron is very smooth. Even if he no longer teases Kemiao, he is still sure to complete the digestion of the Corrupted Baron before Kemiao is promoted to the Faceless Man.
But this does not mean that he can become a Sequence Five soon. In fact, he has not prepared for the ceremony required to be promoted to Sequence Five, because there is almost no progress in his role as Zeno Turtle.
If Buridan's donkey needs to overcome the difficulty of choice, Pavlov's dog needs to master conditioned reflexes, and Zhuang Zhou's fish need to understand what empathy is, then the side effects of Zeno's turtle really have no hint at all.
In other words, his current state is a state of skipping classes.
Why do you say that?
Because his soul was too fragmented.
It is so broken that it can hardly contain a complete mental body.
In other words, if the main consciousness is still retained in a certain piece of soul, then as time goes by, the consciousness that cannot be fully accommodated will continue to be worn away, and eventually become a "little brain defect" like other subsidiary consciousnesses.
Although it is possible to actively divide one's own main consciousness and store it in different souls, if the branched consciousnesses are not completely unified, this is likely to cause schizophrenia, multiple personalities or even troublesome situations such as multiple souls in one body.
, the worst result is that the self is completely wiped out, leaving only a completely self-interested body controlled by the hive consciousness.
It is conceivable that this path should be similar to that of the listener, with a certain "time limit". For example, the former must control all the soul fragments before the consciousness is worn away, while the latter must control all the soul fragments before schizophrenia.
Re-integrate consciousness.
Of course, even if he could guess this method of acting, Snow would not dare to try it, because he was not confident enough to overcome all obstacles and tame the billions of branched consciousnesses.
If he had this kind of leadership, he wouldn't have been just a street writer in his previous life.
The most troublesome thing is that this matter has not yet been solved with extraordinary powers, because theoretically all the soul branches belong to him. In other words, if he intends to use the power of white horses and non-horses to unify everyone, then other soul branches can also use white horses and non-horses.
The force counterattacks.
But in the final analysis, the reason why Snow was not forced into a situation of "having to race against time" was because he developed the wonderful ability of being a stand-in.
After realizing the side effects of the potion, he "stored" his main consciousness in a double body that was almost the same as the evil spirit and could accommodate complete consciousness.
In this way, it is equivalent to turning the parliamentary system into a constitutional monarchy. Although there should be a quarrel, there will still be a quarrel, and the referendum will still be a referendum, but at least it has a veto power.
This is undoubtedly a dangerous approach that treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and can even be called poisoning to quench thirst. As the main consciousness is combined with the substitute for longer and longer, he is likely to be rejected by those branch consciousnesses, and even disconnect from the physical body and become a real person.
Evil spirit.
However, it is very difficult to tame these divided consciousnesses.
Fortunately, he has read many books (comics) and has relevant coping methods——
In a certain food-themed comic, there is a kind of "martial arts" that can integrate the branched consciousness of 60 trillion cells in the body to exert "softness" and "hardness" that far exceed one's normal combat power, and even
It can remove the influence of gravity on itself.
Although it is impossible to completely imitate the practice in the comics, there is one thing that is worth learning from, and that is "how to take the first step", that is, how to synchronize all cells in an instant.
The method mentioned in that comic is "fear of death".
This is a very constructive idea, because no matter how unique the branch consciousness is, the fear of death is the same. Even if there are a few consciousnesses that love death, they can be picked out and crushed to death.
, so as not to harm the group.
But the problem also arises——
The key point of this practice is to make all the cells and all the consciousness in your body feel the fear of death at the same time. To put it bluntly, it means to commit suicide.
But Snow, there is no suitable target for death.
He even turned off the shield of Hakuma Feima to listen to Zhenzao's whispers. As a result, he was helpless to find that there was actually a heavy-flavored soul in his body who found Zhenzao's whispers exciting!
This moment made Snow wonder if he had been contaminated by Zhenzao.
Fortunately, most souls still reject Zhenzo’s rap, but even if they are the vast majority, they will not be able to cross this threshold as long as they cannot become “all”.
Because I have never had the experience of "all souls uniting and striving for an ideal", achieving integration is naturally out of the question.
It's like a person who has never touched a real motorcycle. No matter how many times you play a controller simulation game for him and no matter how much you explain to him how to ride, he still won't be able to do it, even if he has simulated it countless times in his mind.
, I have mastered all the essentials of riding a motorcycle, but I still don’t know how.
Unless, you let him actually ride it once.
However, in Backlund, it is easy to seek death, but it is difficult to seek death. It is even more difficult to find situations where you are facing the threat of death but will not actually die.
"You can't go to the Church of Storms and call Leodro, right?"
Feng Xue rolled her eyes, and a large number of negative voices immediately came out of her body, as well as a small part of the fun soul shouting "Okay, okay! What's the point of coming to Secret if you don't call me Leodro?"
Snow, who suppressed Le Zihun with his soul-splitting consciousness, sighed, a little helpless. Success is a white horse, and failure is a white horse. With such a source of support, it is almost impossible for him to feel the battle below the middle sequence.
The threat of death, as for provoking demigods...
It's not that he's not afraid of demigods, but because in Backlund, even if he successfully caused a demigod to fight him to the death, it would be difficult for him to actually fight to the point of dying, because before that, he would
Being surrounded by a group of busts and even angels from major churches...
