Chapter 254 A More Complete Annan
He said he would be back in a while, but Sir Yin was probably infected by Yaweng... Longjing tea waited until dark before Sir Yin finally rushed back.
"Sorry, Longjing tea..."
Silver Sir, who hurriedly sat back to his place with the dampness of the seaside, apologized to Longjing Cha with some embarrassment: "There is something in the middle, and I was delayed for some time... I will make up for the time you lost."
"It's okay, Lord Yinjue. I'm actually not bored either."
Longjing tea smiled and replied gently.
After all, he didn't wait while he was sitting here, but went to watch books and watch dramas.
Lying on a deck chair in the beautiful silver-purple garden of the palace, there is no noise, no noisy children or tired couples around. Just basking in the sun and blowing the wind in the afternoon, watching the book and watching the show, until the sun goes down...it's quite pleasant.
"Then, Lord Yinjue."
Longjing Cha straightened up and asked Sir Yin, "What's the result?"
"I already asked."
Sir Silver said seriously: "Let's start with the conclusion, your worry is correct, and the reminder is very timely.
"According to what the mysterious lady said, according to normal circumstances, Annan should not have this kind of 'humanity gradually thinning' symptoms."
"So what's the reason for this?"
Longjing tea is holding a cup of tea at the side.
"The bottom line," Sir Silver explained, "is that Annan was not complete."
"...incomplete?"
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. He was probably a baby when he was 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, and he was already a world-renowned master of ceremonies when he was twelve years old. He even secretly manipulated the entire Dukedom of Winter... There are many who are competent, and many who are ruthless."
"... cruel?"
Longjing Tea was a little surprised when it heard this word.
It was difficult for him to associate this word with Annan.
"Because of Annan at that time, the heart of winter was not reversed... so Annan at that time could not feel all the good thoughts in the world, nor could he feel happiness. This kind of cold and dark will is inherited from the Three Sirens. 】One of the necessary conditions."
"In other words, is that the darkened version of Annan..."
Longjing tea murmured.
Upon hearing this, Sir Silver immediately shook his head: "Blackening? No, I don't think this metaphor is appropriate.
"Are you talking about the blackening of the concept of alchemy... or simply referring to goodness and evilness? But no matter which one it is, this description is not accurate.
"It is more accurate to say... what you see is the 'white Annan' who has completed the 'whitening'. The 'black Annan' is in its original state...and even Annan in that form is not considered Do not be evil."
"...But, how does albinism do it?"
Longjing Tea couldn't help asking: "In an environment where you can't feel warmth and kindness, you have accumulated so many years of loneliness and indifference... Even if this state is reversed, it can't directly eradicate the accumulated influence of the past. ?”
"It seems that Annan really hasn't talked to you about anything..."
Sir Silver sighed helplessly: "I thought you must all know."
Longjing Cha was a little puzzled: "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, together with the newly formed personality from this part of the memory, to Lady Silence."
Hearing this, Longjing Cha's pupils shrank slightly.
Of course he knew what this meant.
"...But, Annan, what is this for?"
"In order to allow oneself to achieve complete goodness].
"
Sir Silver replied: "This is the answer I got after asking Miss Fortune and Lady Mystery.
"Because Annan believes that compared with the 'Black Annan' who has become gloomy and indifferent after coming to our world for fourteen years, the self-reformed 'White Annan' is more suitable for this world and his own mission.
"This kind of absolute rationality that can place itself on the tray of the 'victim' to plan and plan is one of the characteristics of 'Black Annan'. Compared with 'evil', its core is closer to ' Indifference'. In other words, 'no heart and no love'. That is the ruthless Annan who doesn't understand love and doesn't think he needs to understand love.
"After that, I became suspicious, so I went to the Theocracy to ask the girl holding the cup. When she met and hugged Annan for the first time that year, she really tasted Annan's original desire... that is, Annan's promotion to gold' desire to rise'.
"The woman holding the cup said that Annan had no desire for power, money, power, the opposite sex, or fame. He didn't desire any novel life or interesting travel. What he longed for most in his heart was to hope that he could Can occasionally acquire the ability to 'eliminate all accidents and misfortunes of oneself and others'."
Sir Silver concluded: "That is, the so-called happiness]. Annan lived to make himself and others happy.
"But today's Annan...it is precisely because he is immersed in the 'happiness' that is too strong and paranoid. He hopes to let himself solve everything, and believes that he does have such ability. So he tried to take all the responsibilities on himself body...
"It's like a person is corroded by darkness, corroded by wealth, and distorted by desire, which will make them 'away from the light', that is, gradually lose the possibility of being redeemed. This is because the darkness will expand and self Breeding.
"But what ordinary 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 viciousness, and in this way, it will be It will become more and more detached from human nature, just like those lonely sages and saints, and they cannot be understood and accepted by people.
"In order not to let themselves become 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 down their desires and make them approach the so-called 'divine nature'."
"...In other words, Annan will gradually lose his humanity irreversibly?"
"If we didn't catch it in time, it would have happened."
Sir Silver smiled when he said this: "You have done a good job, Longjing Tea. Now we have other ways to solve this problem..."
"Specifically?"
"Annan has this kind of problem, mainly because he is not complete. He only has a side of 'longing for good', and half of his way of thinking is incomplete. Then what we have to do is also very simple...that is, let Annan complete the completion .
"The way he 'erased' his old self back then was to pray to Ms. Silence and completely forget a certain part of his memory. This process can also be regarded as a sacrifice."
Sir Silver said seriously: "Since it is a sacrifice, it is like sending a letter, with a sender and an addressee. Ms. Silence will get this memory. That is to say, although Annan has completely forgotten his 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 Cha blurted out: "Then do you want to get this memory back from Ms. Silence?"
"No. For jobs like retrieving lost memories, you should go to the graysmith. The division of labor between the gods is very clear."
Sir Silver said with some concern: "It is not difficult to solve this problem. The most difficult part is...whether Annan wants to solve it or not.
"In any case, we must respect his personal will. If Annan doesn't want to make it up, we can't force him to accept 'another self', then his gradual loss of humanity is his own choice.
"On the other hand, if he has regained 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, then the complete Will Annan be abandoned by the heart of justice?
"There are more important things..."
When Sir Silver said this, he also showed hesitation: "That is his three sirens]. If the two Annans are reunited, it means that he has lost the shelter and protection of the Heart of Winter.
"Annan like that, can he still have the willpower to use the three sirens? And the three sirens are undoubtedly a sharp weapon against worms.
"Should I take the risk of causing a bunch of messy problems to seek a more complete self; or to be on the safe side, not change anything but gradually lose most of my humanity? This choice has to be made by Annan after completing the sublimation ceremony. Get it done before.
"Once he enters the Great Hall of Merkabaha in the Light Realm, Annan's personality can only be cut and cannot be added. According to my observation, Annan is only one step away from stepping into the stage of truth... This means that he will soon soared.
"Even if Annan tries his best to delay, he can only delay 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 involves a lot, but we are not good at making decisions. Longjing Tea, you can go back and ask Annan Chen Qing for his opinion. Of course, if Annan himself can't make up his mind... You can also urge him to go back to Winter.
"According to the mysterious lady, the old grandmother is about to wake up in three days at the latest, and the old grandmother is about to 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 for your travel expenses for this cross-border trip. You can add more when you return from business."
Sir Silver said with a smile: "If you need money, just tell us. We are friends... As long as Annan's problem can be resolved, everything can be discussed."
