Chapter 715 The real corner of the landkeeper Axel plan (5400)

When Roland returned to his home, his father, Moda, had fallen into delirious delirium.

He was lying on the bed, muttering some inexplicable words to himself all the time, which couldn't be connected into sentences at all, and he was very excited from time to time.

Several doctors and monks from the Huaiguang Church are trying to calm Moda's emotions, but obviously, this deep-rooted lesion in the brain is difficult to treat. Even if they use some sublimation techniques, it is nothing more than temporarily quieting Moda.

"what happened?"

Even a good-tempered person like Roland was in a hurry. As soon as he got home, he came to his father's bedside, then turned to look at the medical staff beside him, and asked patiently, "My father's condition was still improving when I left. I thought he had already thought about it...he could have slapped me at that time!"

"I'm sorry, sir, but your father..."

The medical personnel hesitated, but finally shook their heads: "Your father has been under the influence of quite powerful psychic powers. If he has been kept in a hallucination, or if he is awakened after being broken by someone, it can make his spirit Back to normal."

"But your father has never walked out. Although he broke free from the illusion, he would rather live in the illusion. He is clearly awake, but he still doesn't want to wake up... This contradictory state has hurt him too much."

Roland froze in place.

How could he not know about his father's condition? Lord Ian told him in detail how he cracked the conspiracy of the former Lord Lean and how he deceived Steward Moda and harmed the territory. Helping Steward Moda break free from Ira's psionic power was one of the links. He also breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Ian for helping his father get out of this layer of confusion and not having to be deceived by Baron Ryan.

But now it seems...my father would rather continue to be deceived?

This

Not surprising.

Roland is no longer a child. He is very clear that sometimes, he knows the 'right' thing early on, but people just want to choose the 'wrong' thing. If mistakes can bring good memories, why do you have to do the right thing?

But he didn't expect that his father would be so persistent.

He wanted to die with the illusion in his memory.

"Dad, why..."

Lying beside the bed, Roland held Moda's hand with extremely complicated emotions. If possible, he really hoped that his father could get up and slap him again, while the aging man in front of him could only mutter to himself and repeat some fragmented words.

"So you're just waiting? Waiting for your father's death?"

At this moment, Roland heard a familiar voice behind him.

Accompanied by the sound of gentle footsteps, Ian came into the room. He lowered his eyes, looked at the person in charge of the engineering department who was surprised by him, and said indifferently: "Even if your father wants to die by himself... you have no reason to obey his wishes, right? ?

"If you are really such an obedient child, then your father didn't want you to leave Lean Territory. Why did you still go against his wishes and go to the Fallen Star Hills?"

"I"

Ian's words did express the most difficult point for Roland nowwhat he was most worried about was that his father didn't want to live anymore.

The reason why Roland has worked so hard to make achievements is that he hopes to use his own efforts to make his father regain his will to live in the world again.

But who knew that just after he made an achievement, his father had already become like this? Moreover, even if extreme measures were used to bring his father back to life, Namoda would still choose to die one day.

Is this really good?

Don't think about these questions.

And Ian seemed to be able to see through Roland's current contradictory heart. He smiled slightly and said calmly: "As the lord, I will make the choice for you."

"Don't worry about whether your father will blame you in the future, and whether your actions are against human ethics or morality. I will do it."

Ian turned his head and said to Adalbert beside him, "Old Shadow."

And Adbert also nodded, he unfolded the box in his hand, took out a test tube from it, and sucked it in with a syringe.

"You are all the property of my lord, my property. You are all my currency, don't think that you can choose the ending of death at will."

Roland was at a loss as he watched Guying approach his father with the injection. He could instinctively understand that the alchemy potion in the injection might be able to save his fatherand it was the lord's own decision, not his. Against the will of the father.

He doesn't need to do anything, he just needs to watch from the sidelines. Ian obviously knew about his father's situation a long time ago, and made special preparations for it.

yes. His lord is so smart and foresighted, how could he let himself working under him face such a dilemma?

Working under Ian is always so comfortable. He will prepare everything for everyone. As long as everything is carried out according to his plan, everything will have a good ending.

"Let me do it, my lord."

Standing up, Roland made up his mind and stood in front of the old shadow, while Adbert turned his head to look at Ian.

Ian raised his eyebrows. He didn't say much, but just reminded: "Have you ever learned about spinal injections? Guying is a sublimator, and he can inject medicine with his bare hands, but you are not."

Roland was stunned for a moment, but he insisted: "You must have thought about it. If it doesn't work, just let me do it. This is my choice, and I should bear the responsibility. You don't need to take it on my behalf, my lord."

"Row."

Ian nodded slightly, while Adbert shook his head, sighed, with an expression of "Ian sees through everything", and then took Roland to inject medicine for Moda.

"Turn your father over."

Dead King Researcher Rou Judao: "He is still in good health, but his brain is diseased, and he is regarded as mentally deadand we will try to use another alternative method to restore part of his normal thinking ability."

"You know, whether it's depression or mania, it will directly affect people's thinking and emotions. As long as the ability to think normally can be restored, maybe your father won't want to commit suicide so much?"

This is a consolation, but also a judgment. Roland knew very well that the other party wanted to make him relax, and he was indeed a gentle person.

But what he thought was actually very simple.

"wanna die?"

Cooperate with Adalbert to fix Steward Moda, and then assist the other party to inject the tube of dark blue medicine into the spinal cavity, his eyes are deep: "You useless old man, you can't make me follow your instructions in this life. Whether it's me becoming a mechanical engineer or you want to die and I don't want you to die, it's all the same!"

And after injecting the medicine.

Visible to the naked eye, the situation of Manager Moda has recovered a lot.

At least he is no longer delirium, breathing much more calmly.

"just wait."

Ian narrowed his eyes, his eyes flickered, and then said: "It will take effect in a few days, and Manager Moda will be able to regain consciousness by then."

"Roland, don't disturb your father now. I know you have a lot of things you want to ask me, let's go out and talk."

To be honest, Roland didn't want to ask Ian anything.

This is probably one of Ian's shortcomings. He always instinctively thinks that everyone is just like him and has a lot of curiosity. For example, Roland would want to know what potion Ian used to save his father. .

But in fact, where do ordinary people think so much - shouldn't an alchemist lord have this ability? No matter what medicine Ian took out to solve any problem, it was a normal thing.

The story is written like this!

So Roland didn't have any doubts about the 'artificial soul potion'. On the contrary, he formally swore allegiance to Ian - not just a working relationship, but to the lord himself, the name Ian.

This made Ian, who had prepared a lot of speeches, very depressed.

"Are they really not curious?"

After leaving Roland's house, Ian complained to Adalbert: "This is completely unknown, there is no description of the efficacy of the medicine, and there is no clinical trial certificate and guaranteed Sanwu medicine - Roland is so relieved that he doesn't even ask about it. ?

"Isn't this normal? People are dying, and the lord kindly gave you a potion to save people. Who would ask the other party what potion they took out at this time?"

Adbert looked blank, he shook his head and said: "Ian, what you said seems to have no EQ than me!"

Ian had a hard time accepting being told by Adbert that he had no EQ.

And Adalbert pursued: "And, Ian, according to your habits, didn't you carry out this plan only after you were sure you could save Moda and take charge of the matter?"

He knows Ian. Ian did make this plan because he predicted that Moda's management situation would be stable.

The manager of Moda happened to be an old man, an acquaintance Ian knew, a person with mental illness and serious brain disease, and a person who was about to die and would die without any medicine.

No matter from any point of view, Manager Moda is the most suitable person to use the first batch of 'artificial souls'.

So, the first time I knew about Moda's management situation, Ian classified it as the target of the artificial soul experiment subject and carried out predictive screening.

And it is impossible for Adalbert to choose other candidates.

As for the result...

Just wait.

Four days later.

Steward Moda regained consciousness from a coma.

There are many people in the small room. Except for Roland, Ian, Scott and Adalbert were all present. In addition, Qing Chao was guarding the goal, and Old Fal also came here as soon as he finished handling government affairs.

Up to now, the entire government affairs team of Leader Xiahui has gathered here.

In this way, no matter how careless Roland is, he can understand that the medicine injected on his father is undoubtedly very important... It can even be said to be an experimental product that affects the future decision-making of the entire territory.

Not only that... Roland, who had communicated with Manager Moda, had indeed discovered something abnormal about his father.

"My lord?"

On the bed, Steward Moda raised his head, his loose eyes refocused, and he looked at the white-haired boy standing beside his bed: "You are here... What a wonderful potion, I feel now... I am sober and calmer than ever before. "

The old man's tone was calm and his expression was soft, and he couldn't see the melancholy and decadent taste of the past at all: "The time of extreme depression in the past feels like a dream. Is the me in the past really me? Or is it the other way around? ..."

Roland also looked at his father with some worryhe thought that Manager Moda would look for death after waking up, or scolded himself for interrupting his death process.

However, after the old man woke up, he actually gave him a hug, and told him frankly that he was wrong at that time, and his mind fell into irreversible darkness, so he looked at everything in the world without the slightest color.

But now that the color has returned, how could he be willing to die again after seeing such outstanding achievements of the child?

Because it was too good, the reversal was too straightforward, without any foreshadowing, Roland even suspected that Ian had added some kind of boosting potion to his father.

But apparently not.

Because Ian was also a little surprised, this expression cannot be faked.

"Unexpectedly, you seem to have completely recovered the state when we first met."

Ian walked into the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Manager Moda: "Do you have any doubts? The potion given to you is a brand-new experimental product, which can create a part of your soul for you to replace the brain disease. Think regionally, and reverse your depressed mood due to changes in your brain."

"I don't have any doubts, I just feel grateful for your kindness to me, my lord."

Steward Moda shook his head slightly, he paused for a while, and then he said in confusion: "I just have an extremely clear and vivid memory in my mindI can feel that my sadness and pain at that time were real, but Now my peace and relief is real too."

"But, just a little soul, a little repair, can there really be such a huge change? I am a person who has already died once, my lord, so I dare to ask, is this what you want me to live, So there's an element of 'peace and relief' added to the soul bestowed upon me?"

The old man and the young man looked at each other. A few seconds later, Steward Moda lowered his head. He sighed with a smile, "Of course not. You wouldn't do it. It's not because you don't want to, but because it's unnecessary."

"So I'm just confused, is this new soul really my soul?"

"Or is it 'I' who was decadent and self-defeating in the past, or is it 'I' with this person who can calmly examine his wrong thoughts?"

This is a great question.

What exactly is 'I'? The body, or the soul?

In the continent of Terra, everyone regards their souls as themselves...both are 'I'.

The thoughts of the soul are undoubtedly the thoughts of oneself.

However, the boundary between the second energy level and the third energy level is actually the thinking of integrating 'soul and body'.

In other words, before the third energy level, the thinking of the soul and the body are different. There are different ideas between the two 'I'.

Because the body is affected by hormones, the thinking of the body relies on the brain, which is changeable without knowing it.

The soul is only derived from memory and obsession, but it is also easy to fall into extremes and paranoia.

This is the source of legends such as demons, illusions, and temptations of demons.

Both kinds of thinking and wisdom have limitations, but they can complement each other.

For sublimators, they need to integrate the two, defeat the demons in their hearts, and turn the two into the nourishment of "heart light".

The "heart light" that represents the "unified wisdom of body and soul" is the ticket to "Ghost and Truth" and "True Wisdom".

So, theoretically speaking, the thinking of the soul cannot fully represent a person.

The wisdom of the soul, the thoughts of the soul, are essentially a re-enactment of the physical thinking, and then give birth to a "higher echo"!

It's like a person who uploads all his thoughts to the network through a machine. The network has his complete wisdom and thinking, but his body still has thinking.

On the earth, the body is naturally the most important, so compared to the body, the thinking in the network is the echo.

The essence of the soul, isn't it just a natural 'thought upload' based on the spirit matter and source matter?

But in Terra, because the uploaded data of the soul is still uploaded to the natural database of the body, the two can be regarded as one...It is higher than the ordinary echo, but it needs to go to the third energy level to tend to the same.

So... a mirror image!

Yeah, echoes and mirrors!

The reason why my family was exiled to Nanling, and the plan of the landkeeper Axel!

Staring at the dazed but still calm old man in front of him, Ian suddenly became dazed.

Turns out... this is an echo too!

The third energy level, the integration of soul and body, is essentially the process of sublimating the echo into a mirror image, and then the mirrors face each other in pairs to merge into the real self!

Now the doubts that Moda is in charge of, to put it bluntly, is that a relatively normal soul is bred in an abnormal body. The two are similar but not unified, so they are not mirror images, but more similar to echoes.

Naturally, as an echo, the soul that can think normally will be puzzled by the body that has almost lost the ability to think normally.

"It seems that I understand a little bit why the empire let the Institute of the Senses support the research behind the Avak LandEmperor Axel, this guy, his real purpose may not be to invade Isengard or other things. Human body!"

After seeing through this point, a waterfall of information flowed in Ian's heart at this moment. He extracted various information from the silver chip and his own memory, feeling that he had revealed layers of fog that shrouded the truth.

Events that I thought were very clear have been stripped of a layer of clothing and become more real and clear.

The plan of Axel, the keeper, was finally exposed in front of Ian's eyes when he himself created an artificial soul and observed the contradiction between the soul and the body!

"His research on echoes and mirror images is essentially digging into the essence of the 'soul'! He is looking for the origin of physical thinking and spiritual thinking, looking for the differences and integration points between the two, and trying to find the 'third energy level' The real mystery'!"

"For the powerhouse of the third energy level, the integration point is a 'dream'."

"But this answer is definitely not enough for Axel. This is an answer that can only 'relieve' himself. It is Zi Han, who wants to find a greater consensus, and the dead king's 'revenge and protection consensus' ' Not enough, he wants to find a broader 'consensus' that everyone in the entire empire can accept."

"A 'standard answer'!"

"What is his purpose? Does he also want everyone in the empire to have artificial souls, and even break through the level of the third energy level? But he does not want to create a dead king... Then, he wants to create a large number of souls with The soul of the essence of the third energy level? But this is impossible, because apart from 'consensus', the most important thing is the thinking of 'firm belief', without this, even if they are integrated, they are still fragile ordinary people."

"It must be another purpose."

Thinking in this way, Ian froze for a moment.

Because he suddenly thought of what Steward Moda had just said to him.

My lord, so I dare to ask, is this because you want me to survive, so you have added the element of 'peace and relief' to the soul you bestowed on me?

yes.

Echoes can be tampered with, adding some information...

Suppose, Axel, the keeper, wants to find a way to influence the thinking of all people in the entire empire through artificial souls based on the research on artificial souls and echoes...

Maybe this explains what he's been doing all along? !
