He said he would be back soon, but Silver Siren was probably infected by Ya Weng... Longjing Tea waited until dark before Silver Siren finally rushed back.
"Sorry, Longjing tea..."
Sir Yin hurriedly sat back down with the moisture of the seaside, and apologized to Longjing Tea with some embarrassment: "Some things happened in the middle, which delayed some time... I will make up for the time you lost."
"It's okay, Lord Yinjue. I actually don't feel bored at all."
Longjing Cha smiled and replied gently.
After all, he didn't wait while he was sitting here, but read a book and watched a TV show.
Lying on a deck chair in the beautiful silver-purple garden of the palace, there is no noise around, no noisy children or tired couples. I just bask in the sun, blow the wind, and read a book since the afternoon.
Watching this drama until the sun goes down... is quite enjoyable.
"Then, Lord Yin Jue."
Longjing Cha straightened up and asked Sir Yin: "What was the result?"
"I've already asked."
Sir Silver said seriously: "Let's start with the conclusion - your concern is correct, and the reminder is very timely.
"According to the mysterious lady, under normal circumstances, Annan should not have this symptom of 'humanity gradually becoming thinner'."
"So what exactly is the reason for this?"
Holding Longjing tea aside.
"Ultimately," Sir Silver explained, "it's because Annan is actually not complete."
"...not complete?"
This answer made Longjing Tea a little confused for a while.
Sir Silver nodded: "Yes.
"You may know less about this... Annan actually came to this world very early, probably as a baby of one or two years old.
"At that time, Annan was known for his rationality and wisdom. He had been learning mysterious knowledge since he was seven or eight years old. By the age of twelve, he was already a world-renowned ritual master, and even secretly controlled the entire Principality of Winter... He was better than Xiaoyi
Where there are many competent people, there are also many ruthless people."
"...cruel?"
Longjing Cha was a little surprised when he heard this term.
He had some difficulty in associating this word with Annan.
"Because Annan at that time, the Heart of Winter had not been reversed... so Annan at that time could not feel all the good thoughts in the world, nor could he feel happiness. This cold and dark will was inherited from [Three Fortresses]
One of the necessary conditions for Ren].”
"In other words, is that the darkened version of Annan..."
Longjing Cha murmured.
Sir Silver heard this and immediately shook his head: "Blackening? No, I think this metaphor is inappropriate.
"Are you talking about the darkening of the concept of alchemy...or simply referring to goodness and evil? But no matter which one it is, this description is not accurate.
"A more accurate statement... is that what you see is the 'White Annan' that has completed the 'albino'. The 'Black Annan' is actually the original state... and even Annan in that form is not considered
Do not do evil."
"...but how is albino achieved?"
Longjing Tea couldn't help but ask: "In an environment where I can't feel warmth and kindness, I have accumulated so many years of loneliness and indifference... Even if this state is reversed, it cannot directly eradicate the cumulative impact of the past, right?
?”
"It seems that Annan really hasn't talked to you about anything..."
Sir Silver sighed helplessly: "I thought you all knew it."
Longjing Cha was a little confused: "What?"
"To put it simply," Sir Silver said softly, "Annan 'killed' his past self.
"After he completed the 'Reversal of the Heart of Winter', he sacrificed all his past memories, as well as the newly formed personality formed from these memories, to Lady Silence."
"In order to allow myself to achieve [complete goodness]."
Sir Silver replied: "This is the answer I got after asking Miss Good Luck and the Mysterious Lady.
"Because Annan believes that compared to the 'Black Annan' who has become gloomy and indifferent fourteen years after coming to our world, the 'White Annan' who has been transformed by himself is more suitable for this world - and more suitable for his mission.
"This kind of absolute rationality that can put oneself on the tray of 'victim' to plan is one of the characteristics of 'Black Annan'. Its core is closer to 'evil' than to 'evil'
Indifference'. In other words, 'without heart and without love'. That is the heartless Annan who does not understand love and does not think he needs to understand love.
"After that, I became suspicious, so I went to the Theocratic Country to ask the cup-holder woman. When she first came into contact with Annan and hugged Annan, she did have a taste of Annan's original desire... that is, Annan was promoted to gold.'
The desire to rise'.
"The girl holding the cup said that Annan has no desire for power, money, strength, the opposite sex, or fame. He also does not desire any novel life or interesting travel. What he desires most deep in his heart is the hope that he can
You can occasionally acquire the ability to 'eliminate all accidents and misfortunes for yourself and others'."
Sir Silver concluded: "That is, the so-called [happiness]. Annan lived just to make himself and others happy.
"And today's Annan... is precisely because he is immersed in too strong and paranoid 'happiness'. He hopes to be able to solve everything by himself, and believes that he does have such ability. So he tries to take all responsibilities on himself
on body...
"Just like a person is corroded by darkness - corrupted by wealth and lust, distorted by desire, this will make them 'far away from the light', that is, they will gradually lose the possibility of redemption. This is because darkness will expand,
Will reproduce itself.
"But what most people don't know, and it's impossible to know, is that... excess light is also 'harmful'. Light can also reproduce itself, just like a virus. It will make people instinctively stay away from evil, and in this way, they will
They will become more and more separated from human nature - just like those aloof sages and saints, they cannot be understood and accepted by people.
"In order to prevent themselves from becoming depraved, they would rather live like a machine and be strict with themselves. This can indeed maintain their own goodness, but at the same time it will also wear away their desires and make them closer to the so-called 'divine nature.'"
"...In other words, Annan will gradually and irreversibly lose his humanity?"
"If we didn't notice it in time, it would really be like this."
Sir Yin said this and smiled: "You have done a great job, Longjing Tea. Now we have other ways to solve this problem..."
"What specifically?"
"Annan has this kind of problem, mainly because he is incomplete. He only has the side of 'longing for good', and his way of thinking is half incomplete. So what we have to do is very simple... that is to let Annan complete the work.
.
"The way he 'erased' his old self was to pray to Lady Silence to completely forget a certain memory of his. This process can also be regarded as a sacrifice."
Sir Silver said seriously: "Since it is a sacrifice - just like sending a letter, there is a sender and a recipient. Ms. Silence will get this memory. In other words, although Annan has completely forgotten his
It’s past, but this world has not completely erased this memory.”
In other words...it was deleted, but it didn't mean to empty the Recycle Bin?
Longjing Tea blurted out: "Then do you want to get this memory back from Ms. Jingjing?"
"No. For work like retrieving lost memories, you should go to the graysmith. The division of labor among the gods is very clear."
Sir Silver said with some worry: "It is not difficult to solve this problem in itself. The most difficult thing is... whether Annan wants to solve it or not.
"No matter what, we must respect his personal will. If Annan does not want to make up for it, we cannot force him to accept 'another self', so the gradual loss of his humanity is his own choice.
"On the other hand - if he regains the 'rational' side of himself, can Annan still be recognized by the [Heart of Justice]? If he has gained the Heart of Justice and regained the other half of his true self,
So will the intact Annan be abandoned by the heart of justice?
"There is something more important..."
When Sir Silver said this, he also showed hesitation: "That is his [Three Sirens]. If the two Annans merge into one again, it means that he has lost the shelter and protection of the Heart of Winter.
"-Can Annan like that still have the willpower to use the Three Sirens? And the Three Sirens are undoubtedly a powerful weapon against worms.
"Should I take the risk of causing a lot of messy problems and seek a more complete self? Or should I be on the safe side and change nothing but let myself gradually lose most of my humanity? This decision must be made by Annan after completing the sublimation ceremony.
Done before.
"Once entering the Merkabah Hall in the Light Realm, Annan's personality can only be cut and cannot be added. According to my observation, Annan is now only one step away from entering the stage of truth... This means that he will soon
Soared.
"Even if Annan tries his best to delay, he can only delay it for another month at most. There is not much time left for him to make a decision."
In the end, Sir Yin concluded: "This matter is very involved, but none of us can make the final decision. You can go back to Annan and Chen Qing to ask for his opinion on Longjing Tea. Of course, if Annan himself can't make up his mind...
You can also urge him to go back to the cold winter.
"According to the mysterious lady, the old grandmother will wake up soon - in three days at the latest, the old grandmother will wake up."
He said with an inexplicable smile: "Also, Longjing tea. I just transferred a thousand pounds to your account.
"This is my apology for being late...and reimbursement of your travel expenses for this cross-country trip. I can add more when you return from your work."
Sir Yin said with a smile: "As for money, if you need it, just ask. We are friends... As long as Annan's problem can be solved, everything will be easy to talk about."
