Endless Debt.

Chapter 258 Kill or be chopped

"Free... will?"

Burlog looked at Amy curiously.

In this situation, at this moment, an alchemy puppet was talking about free will with him, Bologo thought it was strange, but at the same time he felt that it was somewhat reasonable.

This is an absurd and weird world, and everyone should get used to it, whether it's Amy or Burlog.

Burrog's body relaxed, like the residual heat after a bonfire party. Everyone gathered around the bonfire that was about to go out, chatting casually in peace as the darkness gradually engulfed everything.

"You ask me, what effect will the replacement of the Philosopher's Stone have on me? Regarding this point, what will happen specifically, I really don't know, I haven't experienced the replacement yet."

The core of perpetual motion runs smoothly, and behind the heavy metal, the bright and pure philosopher's stone stagnates in it, exuding a soft light and mobilizing the remaining ether.

Amyu continued, "But I can vaguely guess."

"Guess what happened after that?"

"Well," Amy was silent for a while, and then asked, "Bologo, do you think my character is innate, or is it influenced by someone?"

Bologo did not respond immediately. About this matter, Bologo knew more than Amy himself knew. For a while, Bologo had talked with TEDA about all this.

Amy's personality is not innate, she is influenced by someone, and a new life grows out of the shadow of her death.

Because of this influence, TEDA's cognition of Aimu is also gradually distorted, and it is difficult to distinguish the difference between the two.

"Is it Alice?" Burrog said coldly.

The halo in Amyu's eyes trembled a few times, and soon became stable again. She knew that this kind of thing could not be hidden from Burrogo, and she affirmed in a low voice.

"Ah."

"I have never met Alice, and the teacher never talked about her, but I always feel that I know her very well, whether it is thoughts, character, or the way of acting..."

Amy's voice became intermittent, and she didn't know how to describe the relationship between herself and Alice.

"I'm like... a shadow, Alice's shadow."

"You don't think you have a complete self, it's more like it was born after being influenced by Alice, right?"

Burlogo used a questioning tone, but he was very clear that this was the case. Amy was affected by the mind projection, and her behavior and behavior would keep approaching Alice, but in any case, she was not Alice, and she could not Be Alice.

"Yes."

"Do you think that's bad?" Burrog asked again. "Do you think, you're becoming something you don't want to be?"

The atmosphere fell silent, Aimiao didn't reply immediately, the light of ether slowly swam under the body, Aimiao regained control of the body, and the stiff alchemy puppet made some movements.

"No, I think this is very good," Amy murmured, "Alice is a very good person. I like her and myself like this."

"But if you replaced the Philosopher's Stone...you might be someone else, wouldn't you?" Borrog asked.

"I think it's like this, I will be affected by another philosopher's stone, and I will become what that person was in life, and it will feel like death."

"Dead?" Burrog couldn't understand.

"Alice's Amy is gone, and it's another Amy, like a different model of a machine, that's really me, but it's not me anymore," Amy kept shaking her head, "I don't want to be like that .”

Burrog took a long breath, talking to himself.

"The body remains the same, but the soul is replaced."

Burrog looked deeply at Amy, with a dim light lingering on her body, reluctantly making some small movements.

Amyu's words were cold, but Bologo could always feel a trace of sadness from under this cold body.

Amy has human will and cognition, but is bound by a steel body, and now even her inner soul and will are just her own projection, as if everything about Amy was pieced together by others A twisted monstrosity made of countless wishes.

"Don't think about that, Amy," Borrog reassured. "Free will is too illusory."

"Do you think I have free will?"

Bologo asked back, and before Amyu could answer, he said, "When you're thirsty, you want to drink water, when you're sleepy, you go to bed, and when you're hungry, you eat."

"Sometimes you feel that my ego is leading all this, and sometimes under this self-domination, it is actually affected by other things. My suggestion is not to think so much. Life is not easy. There is no need to give Get yourself into trouble."

Amy looked at Burlogo suspiciously, "Are you avoiding the question?"

"I'm optimizing my life. Do you think I'm an idler? I go out every day to kill demons, sometimes sublimation ones. I'm always cutting people, or being chopped, from early morning to In the evening, from Monday to Friday, it's finally a rest day, and maybe there will be some troubles.

I don't really hate hacking people, or being hacked, but sometimes I also want to do other things, such as learning how to play the guitar, and systematically understand how to make movies and so on.

I don't think my life should just be hacking and killing, it's too boring, but I don't have time to do this, and naturally I don't have time to think about these messy troubles. "

Burrog said a lot of eloquence, and finally concluded.

"Aimu, you are just too idle. When you are idle, you will think wildly and doubt your own existence. So you need to do something to strengthen your self-identity and make your existence feel real."

The halo expanded slightly, resembling the dilated pupils of human beings. For a while, Aimu found it difficult to accept Burlogo's long speech, and she needed some time to process it.

But halfway through the process, she thought of Burlogo's philosophy derived from killing people, and felt absurd for a while, and felt that it was very problematic for her to think seriously about this matter.

The atmosphere was so deadlocked, and Amy nodded half-understood, and Burlogo added.

"Of course, my suggestion is to do something you like. You don't have to be like me. It makes sense to go out and hack."

After thinking for a while, Bologo realized that he might have misled Aimu, and tried to remedy it.

"In other words, you should develop some decompression... hobbies?"

Aimiao thought for a while, then asked, "Is your hobby killing people?"

"No, this is my job. There is no conflict between work and hobbies." Bologo said nonsense.

Ai Miao giggled, and after a while, Ai Miao spoke again.

"Bologo, I see her sometimes."

"what did you see?"

"Alice."

Burrog was stunned for a second, staring at Amyu's pupils as if he didn't understand what Amyu said.

"You said...you can see Alice?"

"Yes, like hallucinations, she will appear from time to time and talk to me," Amy said, "but I think it should be hallucinations, after all, Alice is dead."

"A hallucination?"

"Well, it's hallucinations. Everyone always sees some messy hallucinations, don't they?" Amyu replied with a smile.

"Yeah, hallucinations, endless hallucinations."

Burrogo recalled what he had seen under the ashes, and another throbbing pain came through his mind.

"Aimu, there's something wrong with you." Burrog rubbed his head and said abruptly.

"what happened?"

"It's just intuition. Intuition tells me that something is wrong with you. You are like a child. Children don't worry about these things unless you encounter some trouble."

Burrog looked at Amy and asked, "Amy, are you in trouble?"

"No, it was just a sudden chat. I am very curious about all of this."

Burrog approached Amy and carefully observed her pupils. This was the only communication channel between Amy and the outside world. Unfortunately, Burrog couldn't see through the layers of steel, and he couldn't reach the hole hidden in his chest. Philosopher's Stone.

"Forget it, take a good rest, Amy, we still have a long way to go."

Burrog retreated, crouched in a corner, and continued to suffer from hunger and pain.

Amyu's eyes rolled, and after staring at Burlogo for a while, another voice sounded, with a bit of anger.

"Are you going to betray us!"

White hands grabbed Aimiao's neck, and the other party tried to strangle Aimiao to death with all her strength, but after all, she was just a phantom and could not interfere with reality.

Amyu looked at the guy in front of her. In this desperate situation, Alice was like an angel. She was dressed in a white dress, with a hazy gleam emitting from her body, but this angel was very angry at the moment.

This is only a secret between her and Amy, but Amy just shared it with Burlogo. Even though Amy didn't say any key information, it still made Alice feel uneasy.

Amyu was like a corpse, without any reaction. It wasn't that she didn't want to respond to Alice, but that Burrog was beside him. He was like a sleeping tiger, seemingly relaxed, but a slight movement would arouse his vigilance.

After Alice got no feedback from Amy, she turned her head and looked at Burrog. She walked around Burrog like a real phantom without causing the slightest movement.

The anger in her eyes gradually subsided, and Alice seemed to have noticed something, she said with a smile.

"Is that what you want to do, Amy."

She came to Amy's side and held Amy's face in her hands.

"Oh, look at your pitiful appearance, did you deceive everyone with this method?"

Alice laughed even louder.

"Naive Amyu? This is ridiculous, you are the guy full of conspiracy."

Amy didn't respond, and Alice didn't care about it. She hugged Amy stubbornly and whispered in her ear.

"Don't forget your wish. If you are easily shaken by this, it will also prove that your wish is worthless."
