"I -" Unexpectedly, the murderer was stunned and did not answer for a long time. Zhang Ke almost thought that the other party had fainted due to excessive blood loss or something. It was not until he was about to ask again that the other person said leisurely:
"I forgot, even the specific details. I only know that I killed you, and more than once."
"Yes, I did die in your hands more than a dozen times, and in most cases, you may not realize that you killed me." Zhang Ke said helplessly: "So, in the last reincarnation
Do you still remember what happened between the two of us?"
"I'll kill you." The murderer replied briefly.
"Besides that? Don't you have any impression of what I did to you?"
"No. I just remember that I killed you." Another decisive answer made Zhang Ke helplessly reveal a wry smile.
Sure enough, it was still difficult to communicate. Although I realized that this murderer seemed to have the same potential to retain memories beyond reincarnation, the other person's mental state was too abnormal.
Not only is he a lunatic, he is also a lunatic with violent tendencies. When thinking about any problem, he will boil it down to "killing and corpses".
What he remembers is only the targets he killed in each reincarnation. He is unwilling or unable to remember anything else, and the memories between each reincarnation will cross, unlike Zhang Ke
So clear and definite.
"Let's change the question. When was the first time you came to this company and went on a killing spree? Do you still remember it?" Zhang Ke asked.
"It's quite close to this reincarnation." The murderer seemed to be thinking hard, but still couldn't give a definite answer, "I've only killed here a few times, but I'm still not satisfied."
It seems that everything can only be remembered by his alienated brain if it is linked to the murderer.
"Then, why didn't you attack the police station building instead of attacking this company?" Zhang Ke finally asked the question he cared about most, "Did you change your mind on your own initiative, or was there something external?
Factors that made you change your plan?"
Sure enough, this question, which was too difficult for the murderer's brain circuit, caused the other party to immediately become silent and did not speak for a long time. The duration of silence was longer than all the previous times combined.
It's just that Zhang Ke has long been accustomed to this, and he also hopes to delay more time, so he does not urge the other party to answer, but leans against the box wrapped in felt cloth next to him, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"I--"
After a long while, the murderer finally stammered and spoke:
"Because I want to kill those people."
"Um?"
"It was a voice telling me which people to kill."
"Voice?" Zhang Ke was slightly surprised, "Are you talking about the desire in your heart?"
"It's the voice, the voice in my head, that has been guiding me."
The murderer's tone sounded very strange, with some sadness and crying in it, but it was still full of original cruelty.
"Do you know where that sound came from?" Zhang Ke asked cautiously, "Have you ever seen the owner who made that sound?"
"Sound is sound, it has always existed." The murderer, who had calmed down, suddenly raised his fist and punched the iron door in circles. The huge vibration sound shook some knots on the edge of the warehouse wall.
The ice was shattered.
"Kill you, it wants me to kill you - kill you, kill you, kill you..."
If the murderer who had been talking to him through the door seemed to be slowly recovering from a beast to a human being, with a little bit of human-like elements, then at this moment he suddenly lost all humanity and turned into a human being.
A killing beast.
No, it's not so much a beast, but more like a machine that is assigned a single goal and will never stop until it is completed.
He kept repeating the three words "kill you" in his mouth, coupled with the deeper fist dents on the iron door, making Natural Selection extremely certain that the murderer at this moment had returned to the incommunicable form he had been at the beginning.
A killing machine.
Although it is unclear what caused his current state, the "voice in his head" he mentioned may be the next key to unlocking this secret.
It was as if it was being controlled by an invisible hand. This powerful beast was probably what it was now because something had taken away its free will.
But like Zhang Ke, he has the ability to transcend time reincarnation and retain certain memories. Therefore, after discovering that Zhang Ke has similar potential to him, he suddenly wakes up and regains some self-awareness. Unfortunately, he is immediately ordered to kill again.
engulfed.
"It's a pity that we can't win him over as a companion for the time being. Such a lunatic is too dangerous." Zhang Ke thought in his mind.
Among all the people I have met so far, only Ye Suling and Murderer can preserve part of their reincarnation memories like me.
But only I can preserve all memories in a clear and coherent manner, and when recalling details and processes, there will be almost no logical contradictions or content confusion.
Ye Suling, on the other hand, is completely unable to systematically save specific memories. At most, she can only leave some strong sense of déjà vu, so that when she encounters the same thing again, she will involuntarily think of some keywords in her mind.
Moreover, as the number of reincarnations continues to increase, this sense of déjà vu remains in Ye Suling’s mind as a fixed impression after the same event occurs repeatedly, forming an effect similar to that of a prophet.
As for the murderer, he seems to be between himself and Ye Suling. He has a much more specific memory than Ye Suling, and he is clearly aware that time in the entire world is reincarnating. He has killed targets more than once.
It’s not just a sense of déjà vu like “a vague feeling that it happened.”
But on the other hand, whether it is because of the killer himself or because of other people's troubles, the memory of the killer can only record the key points related to the murder, and there is no clear organization at all.
The memories left behind in each reincarnation are like cotton threads of various colors mixed together. Although on the surface, it seems that there are some clues in any color, but if you want to carefully sort out the details,
Correlation logic will cause the brain to shut down.
Judging from the depth of memory alone, the murderer may actually be even more talented than Ye Suling, and he is better able to understand everything he has experienced.
It's just that he is like an out-of-control killing machine and cannot be used by himself.
At this moment, Zhang Ke suddenly heard the blunt sound of fists banging on the iron door outside the door, starting to become sharper, like -
