Siren Blade

Chapter 132 Blue Bird
The next morning, I used my laptop to sort out the information I got in Yuchi's memory, and then sent it to Lie Que.

And, in order to help the Security Bureau recover the remains of Saber Tooth and the others, I also roughly locked down the location of the incident.Although Yuchi couldn't tell where he ran to the outskirts, but I was able to recall his memory repeatedly, and it was not difficult to figure out the place of his death.Afterwards, the Tianhe City Security Bureau should properly handle the matter.

In addition, I also reported the information that Bite Blood is Barilo.I didn't pay much attention to this information when I knew it in the past, but this view is obviously incautious.After the incident with Yuchi, I finally came to my senses. Bloodbiting can not only combine this secret with the devil's contract to deceive other demon warlocks, but also the security bureau.In the past, it was inconvenient for me to tell the origin of this piece of information, but now Lie Que knows that I can read the memory of the person I killed, and there is no need to continue to hide it.

After doing this, I no longer looked at the laptop, but closed my eyes, recalling, or rather reminiscing about the pictures I saw in Yuchi's memory.The old and cruel half-breed demon devoured human flesh bit by bit, and transformed into a beautiful girl under the moonlight.Her cold bright red eyes like gemstones, her charming but cruel smile, her youthful and charming body reminiscent of flowers, once you start to picture it in your mind, you can't stop like a demon.

However, under the beautiful skin, there seems to be a monster beyond human understanding, without morality and conscience, which is coldly spying on the outside world.In my imagination, the terrifying eyeballs slowly turned amidst the faint viscous sound, and then met my gaze.Hiding behind that charming and lovely face, she stared at me with mechanical eyes like an insect.Such images linger in my mind like a sweet nightmare, making me congest my blood uncontrollably while being terrified in my heart.

I couldn't rationalize my fiery and wicked urges.Biting blood is more than 90 years old, and it is definitely enough to be my great-grandmother.And I actually had a physical desire for her, for her.How much I want to occupy her, want to linger with her to death.

This desire is absolutely wrong.

But I can't stop myself from thinking like that, like every night of those five years of sinking.My shaky heart was even noticed by the blue bird.

After Qiao An recovered as a human being, he moved back to live in his own house as a matter of course.And Jade Bird has also chosen a new residence, which is upstairs from my residence.After that I went back to the days when I used to come to her house for cooking and sleepovers.That night, after she had done with me as always, she hugged me tightly with contented exhaustion, and after a while asked me the reason for my sometimes absent-mindedness.I don't want to mention that kind of worry, but since she asked it out, I can't hide it anyway.No matter how embarrassing the thought, how private the secret, if she wants to know, I will tell her without reservation.

After listening, she was silent for a long time, and in the room with the lights off, she could only hear her faint panting after exercising.I was mentally prepared to bear her anger, but she made a lifeless sound in the end, but rubbed my face as hard as dough, and let me go after a while.

"You don't think I'm going to be angry, do you?" she asked dumbfounded.

I asked back, "Aren't you angry?"

"I've been mentally prepared, this kind of thing will definitely happen sooner or later." She said, "But I didn't expect it to be biting blood... Is she really that in line with your hobby?"

"I'm not very expressive, either," I said, "maybe it's because she gives me a feeling of inhumanity."

"Really? As far as I know, shouldn't she be the exact opposite of what you expect?" she asked.

"How?" I asked.

"The siren you like doesn't know anything about human beings, because she probably follows a thinking pattern that is completely different from the perspective of human beings, just as humans can't understand her at all, and she can't understand humans at all." She seemed I have thought about that aspect very seriously, "But Bite Blood is the opposite. She knows how to wear clothes, can speak human words, and everything she does is justified. She even understands human psychology and culture deeply, even as An experienced fighter like Yuchi was also played by her tricks and tricks. Although she is a half-blood demon, from this point of view, even if she is a real demon, since she is so deeply human, then yes You are no different from humans, right?"

"Hmm..." I listened to her words, and at the same time I was thinking about it.That's right, according to this logic, I really shouldn't treat biting blood as something that seems human but not human.

It's like I never thought of the Siren as a real human, but since she has a strong humanity, I will treat her as a human being.

So what is it about biting blood that makes me feel inhuman?

Is it because she eats people?But cannibalism is not a big deal for the moral standards of demon warlocks. Let alone her, even the old bones have eaten people, and the middlemen and succubi have more or less eaten human flesh in order to strengthen their own power.Obviously, succubus is also considered a hybrid demon and can eat people. I just have no desire for succubus.

However, I still feel that there is a strong sense of inhumanity in Biting Blood's body, but I can't describe in words which part of her emanates from.

"I can't figure it out either." In the end, that's all I could say.

She hugged me with a smile, and pressed her body tightly against mine, "Then don't think about biting blood for the time being, and think about me more."

"Yeah." I responded.

"You should have other things on your mind." She said, "Let's talk about it together now."

Hearing this, I hesitated.It's not that I want to hide it, this matter was originally intended to be a showdown against Jade Bird.But for me, this is something that shakes me far more than the fact that I have a desire to bite blood.Not even shaking, but pain.And this is closely related to the blue bird, which makes it even more difficult for me to tell easily.

But I knew very well that I had to speak out, because I couldn't hide myself from the blue bird.Even in the next step, I have to cast doubtful words on the blue bird.

"Blue Bird, you said before that you implanted evil factors in the healing dream, right?" I said.

"Yes," she said.

"The role of the vicious factor is to reverse the power relationship between me and the demon in the healing dream. The original script should be that I have a strong power to defeat the weak demon with the siren blade, but because of the vicious factor, I am healing In the dream, I became an ignorant student, but the power of the demon has an overwhelming upper hand, and even the Siren Blade fell into the hands of the demon." I said.

"That's right," she said.

I was silent for a while, and finally said it out, "Actually, there is no evil factor at all, right?"
-
For a long time, I have been vaguely aware that there is some unreasonable doubt in the healing dream, but I can't recognize it exactly.

Not long ago, Lie Que's words gave me a crucial reminder.

He told me that there is an absolute center in any dream, compared with which other elements in the dream are just a foil, or even irrelevant.Therefore, as long as this central object is destroyed, the dream will also be destroyed.

At that time, I only felt that this passage was very important to me, but I didn't know how to apply it to myself.And after the mass slumber event ended, I had time to reorganize my thoughts.After a period of thinking, I finally used this passage as the key to remove the doubtful point of healing the dream from the black box of consciousness.

First of all, it is certain that although the healing dream was my dream, the central thing at that time was not me, but the devil.Therefore, only by killing the devil can I wake up from my dream.

And Lie Que told me before that because of the existence of malignant factors, the dream lost all reference value in diagnosing my psychology.But there is a certain problem here. The scope of influence of the malignant factor is only limited to between me and the devil. Since the other elements in the dream have not been affected, why can't I continue to refer to it?
The reason is simple, because in this dream, only "I" and "the devil" have reference value for diagnosing my psychology, or in other words, only "the power relationship between me and the devil".

Lie Que and the others certainly did not intend to intervene in the formation of the dream, at most they specified the theme of the dream in advance, and they were sure that there must be an "I" and a "devil" in it.Just like a propositional composition, they can "make a question" for my consciousness, but they have no idea how my consciousness will "compose" afterwards.Otherwise, the diagnostic reference value of dreams to my psychology would not exist from the very beginning.

However, they predicted the power relationship between me and the devil long before that, thinking that my power in the dream must be overwhelmingly stronger than that of the devil.

On what basis did they draw their conclusions?Why do you think I must be stronger?

It can only be based on a series of interrogation and psychological tests done on me before I fell into the dream.

Based on the interrogation and psychological tests, they came to the conclusion that I was a good person, and based on this conclusion, they made a prophecy that the me in the dream must be stronger than the devil.

On the other hand, if the devil in the dream is stronger, then I must be a villain in reality.

Presumably, Lie Que must have been very shocked when he saw that I was so weak compared to the devil in the healing dream, and then he must have thought so. It was wrong, the devil Li Duo was really an evil person by nature.

The demon Li Duo must be killed, he must be killed.

But Lie Que later overturned his decision.Because at that time, the person in charge of monitoring and healing the dream said to Lie Que: You misunderstood, Li Duo is not a villain, the reason why the dream became like that is because I implanted a vicious factor.

That person is Blue Bird.

But she clearly said that her practice has been mainly to improve combat effectiveness, and because the way of dreams is difficult to apply to combat, she has never learned the knowledge of dreams.

Then how did she manage to implant a vicious factor into my dream and reverse the power relationship between me and the devil so precisely?

If... there is no malignant factor at all, then what is the original appearance of the dream?
Before the showdown with her, I first looked for Lie Que.

"So that's it. Is this what you've always said about healing your dreams?" But after hearing my words, Lie Que's expression didn't fluctuate, "I did doubt you at the time, and the blue bird was indeed against me. That’s what I said. Of course, it’s impossible for me to believe the words that sound like cover-ups. That’s why I sneaked into your dreams and conducted psychological tests on you. And the results are as you know, you It's really clear."

"Then how did the blue bird know how to implant the malignant factor?" I asked.

"Have you forgotten? Blue Bird was the monitor of your dreams at that time. In that position, even if she has never learned the knowledge of dreams, she still has the conditions to interfere with your dreams. Especially in the process of dream formation, there is room for her to intervene It will be bigger," he said.

"It must have been the first time for her to do this kind of work at that time. Could she be able to intervene so precisely for the first time?" I asked.

"According to common sense, it is impossible. But Qingniao is a genius beyond common sense. In her past five years of practice, she has done more extraordinary things than that. And after the incident, I also investigated the cure through equipment. There are indeed traces of forcible intervention in the information records of the dream." He said, "Of course, this level of evidence alone is of course not enough. So the most important thing is what I did to you in the dream. Test, even if you are a fraudulent genius in reality, you in your dreams will reflect the truest side of your heart."

"So, can you let me do the healing dream again?" I asked unrelentingly, "Just do it again and the truth will come to light."

"Unfortunately, no. Psychological tests are meant to be useful to those who cannot understand the purpose of the test, and the dream with psychological tests is the same. Even if you enter the healing dream again now, the results presented will no longer be of reference value. He shook his head, "Why are you so persistent? Believe in yourself more, Li Duo. I have seen all your kindness and bravery. It is obvious to all that you are desperate in fighting evil. Even Liucheng Security Bureau The sorcerers are also slowly accepting you. I can understand your guilt for what you have done in the past, but it is time to let yourself go. The sins of the past will be redeemed by the righteous deeds of the future, you just It’s enough to think about it.”

But I still can't let go, how can I let go?I left from Lie Que, and tonight, I confessed my thoughts to Jade Bird.

What am I?
In the dark, the blue bird hugged me and stared at me quietly.
