Chapter 276 Liangyi and Taiji

"Who are you……?"

Mu Xiu felt a strong uneasiness from the bottom of his heart, and for some reason, the darkness around him changed drastically the moment the girl appeared.

Originally it was just endless darkness and emptiness, but now it suddenly turned into the magnificent scenery of the snowy lake——

Mu Xiu recognized it at a glance. This was the scene when he saw Mount Penglai for the first time that night. He and the girl opposite were standing in the same position that night.

For a moment, he seemed to understand something. Looking at the surrounding scenery that was the same as that night before, and the dark sky where snowflakes were falling, Mu Xiu suddenly felt dizzy in his consciousness.

The girl standing by the lake is wearing a white kimono, which complements the snowy scenery of Minghu Lake.Her expression looked very regretful, but she was not surprised. She just looked away and sighed softly: "Yeah, you probably don't remember..."

I don't know if she is saying that Mu Xiu doesn't remember her, or it's about the name she said.

"..."

"..."

"Sorry, I...don't know you." After a moment of silence, Mu Xiu took a step back carefully.

He couldn't tell whether the scene in front of him was an illusion or something, because it was too real.What's more, even though he felt the existence of his own body again, he also regained absolute control over his own power——

But he didn't have any thoughts of wanting to fight, and the girl in front of him seemed to not exist.

Just like generally speaking, a person with a normal mind has no way to attack the air storm. It should be said that he doesn't even have the idea of ​​attack or confrontation. This is his current situation.

And at this time, he can naturally realize that this is no longer the experience of a demon, at least not the kind of "demon" he knows...

"No, I am indeed your demon, but it does not match your cognition."

The girl in the kimono smiled lightly, her eyes were so gentle that they seemed to melt everything, but the words she said made people extremely horrified. ——Whether it is the meaning contained in the words themselves, or because of her behavior of saying this sentence as if reading her mind.

"..."

Mu Xiu backed away silently, he suddenly had a very strong feeling, as if the girl in front of him was attracting him, urging him, as long as he continued to follow the current rhythm, he would be able to know everything he wanted to know.

But this subconscious feeling was so strong that Mu Xiu hesitated instead. Although he didn't know what he was hesitating about, he couldn't help feeling a little bit afraid.

Then, he realized that he had been retreating all the time, but he couldn't change anything, and the distance between him and the girl was not far away... It was almost the same as that night.

"I'm sorry, I've been disturbed enough before, and this time I managed to meet you successfully. I can't... let you leave like this." The girl said, her eyes full of apology.

"Who are you?" After deliberating for a while, Mu Xiu said slowly.

"...I am—"Two Ceremonies", you can call me by that name. The kimono girl smiled, "The reason why I appear here is because I have become your demon." "

"Do we know each other? I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten a lot of things, or I can't tell which previous experience is real... And what did you call me just now? Did you recognize the wrong person?"

Mu Xiu said quite coldly, unceremoniously keeping a relatively distant distance from the other party.

"That's right, you have indeed forgotten a lot...much more than you imagined..." The girl in kimono took two steps forward, and found that Mu Xiu's expression was more vigilant, and even his body tensed up. After that, he stopped in a little disappointment.

She murmured in a soft voice: "However, this is also good..."

"..."

"..."

There was another natural silence.

Turning her head in the snow, the girl in kimono stared at Minghu next to her, and said softly: "Maybe it can't be said to be forgotten, after all...it is indeed not the same person anymore, fortunately, the origin is still the same..."Reincarnation "It's a wonderful mechanism. "

"What are you talking about?" Mu Xiu frowned, he had calmed down at this moment.

"You should know that what you are born with will never change. It is a more essential essence than the previous life, and it can be traced back to the "cause" of the original reason for existence.The so-called origin is the literal meaning, which determines the directionality of one's own existence. "

She smiled sweetly, her tone was natural, as if the two were friends who had been friends for ten years.

"You think, if there is a previous life, then there should be a previous life, right? The previous life is not a person, and the previous life is not even a thing, but the thread of existence will continue forever. You, the origin of the soul, create your existence The place does exist..."

Having said that, she closed her eyes, let out a sigh of relief, shook her head slightly and did not continue talking.

Because there is no such thing as life in that place, there is only some kind of beginning cause that determines a certain direction of things.

"..." Mu Xiu wisely didn't interrupt the pause.

However, "Two Ceremonies" still read his mental activities, shook his head and continued: "It's just an example, the nature is the same, but it's not about your past life... No, you don't have a past life at all, There will be no next life, only this one."

Mu Xiu took a deep breath, and quietly waited for the next thing that was absolutely still to come.

Sure enough, she stared at Mu Xiu, and said with great meaning: "The "reincarnation" I just mentioned does not refer to the past and future life like the cycle of life and death, but refers to the "thing" deep in your soul. The extension of the divine system in the sense—"

There was a smile in the girl's innocent eyes.

Yet it was grim, with a sneer behind it.

"Isn't it interesting? Outside of the root of omniscience and omnipotence, such an intervention management system that transcends all logic and fantasy and also has no restrictions on the super-dimensional multiverse..."

"What do you want to say...just say it directly!"

Mu Xiu only felt that his throat was wriggling thirstily, and his vocal cords seemed to be broken. He bit the tip of his tongue mercilessly, and the fishy and salty taste spread in his mouth.

He had such a bad premonition that he lost control of the muscles on his face and felt nothing.

"Look at me, I'm such a fool, don't mind it, just because I can see you, I'm in a good mood today, and I have more words unconsciously. But, since it's what you want to know..."

The kimono girl seemed to blame herself for saying those words, she said in a small and soft voice.

"You should be deliberately shielded from that aspect of cognition and memory. If you are not reminded, you won't even have the idea of ​​​​exploring. So, let me introduce myself again, you can call me "Two Ceremonies" ", because I am not a personality produced by intellect, but the original personality of the existence itself represented by this title..."

Having said that, she put her hands on her chest with nostalgia, and closed her eyes.

"..."

"..."

Then the girl in kimono opened her eyes and smiled sweetly. She quietly took a step forward, looked into Mu Xiu's eyes, and continued in an unsteady voice:
"In that body, there are dual personalities. Although both are "Shiki", but...they are the personality "Shiki" representing the feminine, affirmative, and feminine, and the personality "Wei" representing the masculine, negative, and masculine. ——Since it is Liangyi, then of course there is also a Tai Chi.And the outline of the circle that symbolizes Tai Chi is me. "

Mu Xiu finally understood what he was rejecting from the bottom of his heart from just now until now.

That was the truth in the beginning.

"A human being is a creature made up of three elements, spirit, soul, and body. However, your personality, your soul, can be manifested in various forms by your intellectuality accumulated from various experiences. and your hollow flesh-body."

The kimono girl seemed to continue in a tone of casual talk without any concern.

"Therefore, it is not that there is a body with intelligence, but with a body, intelligence can be born. After all, Shiki and Ori are exchanging personalities in the root character of "two rituals", and control All of these are the "two ceremonies"...starting with me and ending with me. "

"You mean, I'm...the positive side?" Mu Xiu subconsciously raised his voice.

"You can say that, but you can't say that, because weaving has been replaced for some reason not long ago..." She said in a low voice, staring at the night in the distance.

"Personality is not a soul, there is no possibility of reincarnation, and you are indeed not him—in theory, it should be like this. But the "thing" in your soul, the whole behind it, caught the opportunity at that moment, Captured half of the concept of existence in the past. "

Looking back, "Two Ceremonies" stared at Mu Xiu: "I'm not sure whether you are reincarnated or not. It's just that your personality and memory are not the same as before, even if the origin is exactly the same, and even replaced my Liangyi You don't feel like you are another person, do you? "

"..."

"..."

Mu Xiu couldn't say anything, in fact, his mind was so chaotic like never before.

The girl in the kimono smiled mischievously, and then said to herself: "Actually, I've always wanted to meet you, but I was restricted by external conditions, because I can only sleep in Shiki's heart. She I can’t feel me, and I can’t replace me.”

"There are only a few chances, one is when you touch the essence of life for the first time and go deep into the sea of ​​mind, because your origin is "nothingness", so it is still one of the two forms that constitute my Great Circle Tai Chi.It's just that you didn't leave any impression at that time..."

"The other two times were hindered by just right so-called coincidences-for example, your realm was temporarily completed, and I had no way to directly influence you, and the power of the essence of the mind that was triggered later made me feel that night. It was possible to show up for a short time, but in the end, the light of your mind is independent of cause and effect, and the way of contact is once again cut off..."

While speaking, the girl in kimono stepped forward, reached out to touch Mu Xiu's face, and stared at him with a kind of envious eyes.

"Until now, the violent consciousness you have encountered is essentially the instinctive consciousness produced by the flesh-body. Every cell has a weak consciousness. When mixed together, it is an irrefutable powerful and violent instinct...It is equivalent to the flesh-body It's like your own personality."

"—In this way, it happens to be used by me, otherwise, the meeting this time may still be far away!"
