Lin Sanjiu stood calmly in the dark forest, and couldn't help but think of the last time she stood in the forest.
The plan that cost them so much effort, the running and fighting that cost their lives, was like walking on a tightrope without daring to move even a second... But their efforts were like the waves of a river, no matter how they rolled and hit, they would eventually catch up with this.
A high wall and dam shattered into foamy water, losing all meaning.
How could he even know whether he was lying? Does he also have Hu Chang's ability to distinguish truth from lies?
Yu Yuan stopped quietly one step away, his outline silhouette pressed against the night, so heavy that even the air gradually stopped flowing and solidified heavily at the feet of the two of them. It seemed that no matter how hard he breathed through his nose, he couldn't take in any air.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Sanjiu made her last attempt to resist denial. After she left her mouth, she felt ridiculous, so she interrupted, and there was a dead silence.
After a few seconds, she asked in a low voice: "What on earth...are you?"
Yu Yuan was silent for a while.
"You see, this is one of the answers I hope to find when I leave here."
Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes hard.
Calm down... Calm down. She is not dead when she faces Ousias at this moment, which means that there must be a glimmer of hope hidden in this situation. Ousias does not take pleasure in playing with people's hearts. If he has made up his mind, she will definitely
I can't stand any longer. That glimmer of hope——
Lin Sanjiu suddenly understood.
"Since you already knew I was lying, why did you let me separate from the gift bag?" She heard her voice trembling slightly.
Yu Yuan calmly replied: "You know that, right? You have always been very responsive at critical moments."
This is the second time, this is the second time he has used such a tone, showing his understanding of himself...
Lin Sanjiu grasped this idea tightly in her hands, and then said: "At that time, there was only me and the gift bag. Even if you acted immediately, the only ones you could catch were the two of us. Instead, we were still struggling to death, asking others
People issue warnings to let them escape. But if you let nature take its course and let Libao think that his plan is going smoothly..."
Then, he can use himself to come to the door one by one.
"You...you want me to become a body steward?" Although Lin Sanjiu's words were a question, she already knew the answer. "Like Yu Yuan?"
Yu Yuan raised a hand and tapped his forehead twice. "This one is not a body steward."
"What do you mean?" Lin Sanjiu asked immediately. If she said one more word, she and her companions would be able to live for one more word, and she would have one more chance to think of a solution - she wished that they could keep chatting until
The gift bag noticed something was wrong; but why did Orcius want to talk to her?
"The body steward is a person created by me, a person who did not exist in the world before. Like Chotans, he keeps my body, abilities, and vision for me, walks for me, and acts for me..." Yu Yuan said lightly, "You see
This one is an 'identity' that was collected by me. It is not of the same nature as the body steward."
After he said that, he took a step to the side and raised his hand toward the dark forest ahead.
Lin Sanjiu understood what he meant and raised her feet as if sleepwalking.
Her sense of unreality was too strong. At this moment, the two of them were side by side, like friends walking together, stepping step by step on the mountainous ground where fallen leaves were piled up, stirring up circles of dark ripples in the deep and dark dream of the mountain forest.
.
They were still far away from the Black Stone Collection. When Lin Sanjiu raised his head, he couldn't even see a single light, as if the Black Stone Collection and the crowd didn't actually exist.
"So, before you turn me into one of your 'identities', can I ask you a few questions?" she asked in a low voice.
"It doesn't matter, I can let you delay for a while." Yu Yuan thought for a while and said, "I am willing to indulge you a little when using this 'identity'."
Lin Sanjiu suppressed the sharp anger and forced herself to continue focusing on the thought just now.
It seemed that the evolver whose body was occupied by Oasis did not completely disappear from this body as she thought. He just called himself Xiaojiu - this is Yu Yuan's name;
He said that he reacted sharply at critical moments, which also came from Yu Yuan's memory and judgment.
Not to mention that Ousius has made it very clear: when he uses the "identity" of Yu Yuan, he will be influenced by Yu Yuan's own feelings and cognition - even to a very limited extent, it is enough to make him
"Olcius", an existence that is far from human beings, is tainted with a certain tenderness.
Since Yu Yuan's memory, cognition, judgment, emotion, etc., can still affect Orcius, does that mean that "Yu Yuan" still exists in this body?
Does she still have a chance to bring him back?
"Don't you have questions to ask?" Yu Yuan reminded him as he walked away.
Lin Sanjiu said "hmm" and asked the question that bothered her the most: "Why did you know I was lying as soon as I said Mather? Are you...are you capable of distinguishing truth from lies?"
"It would be convenient if I had that ability." Yu Yuan smiled quietly and said, "Because I know that Mather is not on Exodus."
Lin Sanjiu stopped suddenly. "You--you know where Mather is?"
Could it be that he had been targeting Mather for a long time? But she didn't even contact Mather herself, and Mather didn't even know about him. How did she become a target?
"I know. You know Chotans, right? The one who was not very obedient in the first generation version. He knows the location of Mather very well and is on his way to find her."
Lin Sanjiu was excited and just about to open her mouth, Yu Yuan spoke again.
"I also know that Mather knows nothing about me." Yu Yuan seemed to be aware of her unspoken thoughts, and actually said as if to comfort him: "So you don't have to worry about Mather's safety...as long as you don't
Tell her of my existence, she will be a resource I need in the future, and of course I will not touch her."
At least at this point, there was no need for Orcius to lie.
Lin Sanjiu nodded blankly. From this point of view, it was a good thing that she and Mather had not been in contact; now she could not drag Mather into this muddy water and put her life in danger.
"But...why do you know Mather?" she asked.
"One of my body stewards discovered the connection between you by chance and thought that Mather might be a way to lead me to you." Yu Yuan's gentle and low voice gradually faded into the night. "
From a certain perspective, she was not wrong."
"Why did you ask Qiaotense to find her?" Lin Sanjiu turned her head and looked at Yu Yuan carefully under the night, and asked.
"Let's see if she can do me a favor." Yu Yuan also turned around and smiled at her, his eyes as dark and warm as ink stone, empty. "You are only worried about her now, in my opinion
, not very wise.”
Yes, no matter what the business is, as long as Mather doesn't know about Oasis, her life will not be in danger... But others are different.
After Lin Sanjiu walked for a while, the nearby mountains and forests had lost a layer of darkness, and there was a faint mist-like light. Although it was still difficult to see the surrounding scenery clearly, it was enough to tell her that the black stone collection could not
Far.
Why hasn't Altheus turned her into a body steward—nay, an "identity"?
Even if Yu Yuan influenced Ousius to a certain extent, he became a little gentler, but Lin Sanjiu was not naive enough to think that Yu Yuan's remaining will was enough to reverse Ousius's decision; he did not take action, it must be because
Can't take action yet.
Why not? Isn’t he awesome?
Thinking about it carefully, Lin Sanjiu has now seen three forms of Olesiases: The first one is the Olesiases after the "god descending", which is the despair that no one can resist. It can probably be regarded as
100% form; the second one is Orcius who came through "projection". Although he still has great magical powers, it is like being separated by a layer after all. At least Lin Sanjiu and others have room to escape. It should only be 100%.
Fifty-sixty-sevenths of Oulius.
The third type, which she saw for the first time tonight, was Yu Yuan at this moment.
What percentage of Orcius is this form?
No matter how reckless Lin Sanjiu was, she would not try anything. From the moment the two of them started walking towards the Black Rock Collection, she had tried her best to relax every tense nerve and secretly focused her attention on Yu Yuan.
Feeling and understanding him inch by inch.
There is no doubt that this form of Orcius is the weakest one, as if he just separated a ray of will and injected it into Yu Yuan's body. But equally, even the weakest version, Lin
Sanjiu is far from its rival.
So, why Oasis didn't turn her into a body steward, is it because the power of this form is not enough?
Wait - Lin Sanjiu suddenly trembled, and her body trembled uncontrollably, even making Yu Yuan look back at her.
If he needs to at least reach the "projection" state before he can recruit Lin Sanjiu as one of his identities, then what does Ousius need most?
That is a law that even Orcius cannot change...
Lin Sanjiu looked at the gleaming lights on the hillside ahead, blocked by the trees, and knew that she had no time.
Only when there is light can there be shadow.
No wonder he allowed himself to go through this section of the road... The projection of Oasis is so huge that it naturally requires a large range of bright and strong light; the best choice is the set of black stones in front of it that is as bright as day.
Unlike a gift bag, she couldn't come up with any brilliant ideas; Lin Sanjiu had only one life-saving straw in her hands at the moment - and she had to act now.
Lin Sanjiu herself was surprised that she actually turned around successfully.
The next second, as if she was about to break away from her body, she used her best efforts in her life and rushed out towards the dark forest ahead.
Merry Christmas everyone! What else did you take besides ibuprofen?
