Chapter 255 2 in 1 Ritual
Neither Longjing Cha nor An Nan like the kind of people who dawdle.
After Dragon Well Tea asked Sir Silver about the situation, he directly sent the video to Annan.
After the showdown between Annan and the players before, Annan also "friended" with many more active and close players.
In this way, if Annan needs to find someone, he will save a lot of effort to find a player, and then ask them to call one by one to send a message... Even if they are not online, Annan can talk to them directly.
And after getting such urgent information from Longjing Tea.
Annan didn't hesitate for long, and immediately made a decision.
He decided to welcome "Black Annan" back.
Because Annan himself is very clear that he cut his old self back then to "reawaken his righteous heart", not that his past self was evil.
What he really needs is "getting a new Annan" rather than "getting rid of the old Annan". The means cannot be regarded as the end. Now that this goal has been accomplished, it is time to make yourself whole again.
And what really made Annan unable to ignore it was not the fact that he might gradually lose his humanity and his personality would be filled with divinity...
Although Annan has always felt that he is an ordinary person, he has never felt that he is normal. From a long time ago, even when he was on the earth, he was forcibly restraining himself with "morality" and the "rules" he made. Behavior. Otherwise, he might even become a pleasure criminal.
Annan certainly does not believe that this kind of behavior has anything to do with "human nature".
If you can achieve better results and make people around the world happier, it doesn't matter if you sacrifice your own humanity.
This is the simple utilitarian philosophy of pursuing the "greatest good". Regardless of motives and means, only the impact of results.
Just like what the elves believe in, pursuing the good way of "best life" and "best death"].
The motivation that really moved Annan and decided to make himself whole again was that Annan suddenly thought of a possibility.
Because of Zhi Ji, Annan met with Worm. The worm stole all of Annan's talents and created a "copy of Annan" as his human form.
Objectively speaking, it is impossible for Annan to defeat an enemy who is exactly the same as himself, has the same thinking mode, the same wisdom and strength, but at the same time has an extra part of the power that belongs to the "worm".
Because any thinking of Annan is in the calculation of the other party. They are too similar, but they can guess what the other is going to do... In this case, it doesn't make any sense whether it is resourcefulness or desperation.
But if you find yourself who has been forgotten, the situation will be different.
In this case, Annan and the worm are half similar and half different. Annan and the worm are back on the same level again!
This may be the only chance to defeat the worm.
As for the difference between Heart of Justice and Yinjue and the players.
Annan has absolute self-confidence.
This confidence comes from Annan's understanding of himself.
Even if he has the heart of winter and has lived in this world for more than ten years... But if it is Annan, he will never fall. Even if the part of "Black Annan" is regained, it will not change Annan's current determination.
That was a very simple, heartfelt thought.
Just like other gods...
He wants to make the world a better place and make the people happy and healthy.
He wants to maintain justice, so that the good will be rewarded with good and the wicked will be rewarded with evil.
But at the same time, Annan does not intend to deprive "people of the ability to do evil" and turn the world into a utopia. Because people also have the power to redeem and regret, and also have the ability to correct mistakes and learn from mistakes, that is a person.
The only thing that made Annan hesitate was about the Three Sirens.
According to Professor Bai Chiron.
At the peak of the elf empire,
The elf emperor without the heart of winter can also forcibly hold the three sirens just by his own will. This means that it is indeed possible for a complete personality to control the three sirens.
Annan actually felt that his willpower was not weak.
But he couldn't hold the Siren of the Three in the form of the "faint king"... Even if the Siren of the Three has now become the "Siren of the Two", and the curse wound on it is missing one-third, this is also the case .
Graysmith proposed a possibility:
"It may be because of an imbalance in your personality."
"Out of balance?"
"Yes. Because of the influence of the Heart of Winter, whether reversed or not, the Heart of Winter makes you extreme and incomplete.
"Either you can't feel happiness, or you can't feel fear and pain, just like the human body loses the ability to adjust balance.
"The so-called strong will is not a heart as cold and ruthless as steel, but the ability to overcome fear and suppress joy."
"That is to say... I have to wait until I dig out the Heart of Winter and transplant the Heart of Justice before I can realize the two in one?"
Annan asked.
Gray Carpenter shook his head: "That's not necessary. Because what you have forgotten is a complete personality... Even if he has been in your body for a while, as long as it is not too long, he will not be reversed and assimilated by you today. .And if this is the case, it is very simple, even without rituals, I can put the 'you of the past' back into this body.
"But I think what you really need is not to allow two completely different personalities to exist in the same body, but to completely integrate them, right?"
"yes."
Annan nodded: "If it's just to find the past me, then it's meaningless. Because the 'I' chose to sacrifice myself back then, so there must be meaning in not expecting to be rescued by the future 'I'. "
It's like the senior and senior sister have completed the fusion.
Annan also hopes to achieve that level of integration with "Black Annan".
"In this case...you need a more complete ceremony."
Graysmith thought for a moment, opened a secret door, and entered a secret room. Annan waited politely outside, but did not follow in.
It seems that after a series of complicated authentications, Graysmith took out a book from it.
It was a thin, withered book whose pages felt like moth wings covered in dust.
"this is……"
"The Egg of Dream Condensation. Its full name is "The Egg of Dream Condensation: The Sun That Never Sets, a puzzle-solving alien-level nightmare," the gray craftsman sighed, "Trizzino once hoped to use it to complete the sublimation ceremony , Take the sky train and enter the Great Hall of Merka Baha to kill me completely.
"And you killed him...or in other words, the act of dissolving really saved me. At the same time, it also prevented Trissino from using the Egg of Dream Condensation to complete the sublimation ceremony.
"This also happens to allow it to be preserved. It has the last chance to use it, and now I will give it to you."
The gray craftsman said gently: "I have the memory of Trissino's use of the Egg of Dreams before, I can start the ceremony, modify the content inside, and deform this nightmare...
"To be precise, it is to turn the 'past you' into a part of this alien-level nightmare and the ultimate reward. When you successfully pass the nightmare and come out, it is equivalent to 'digesting' the past self and completing your personality unity.
"But in the same way, if you die from inside, then the past you will occupy your current body and be reborn... Although the past you and the present you have no enmity, but I think that should not be what you want to see to the end."
"That is to say," Annan repeated, "just pass the level with one life, right?
"Besides, I remember Professor Hui's modified holy bone transplantation ritual, which also requires entering a nightmare... and Zhi Ji has already helped me find the Heart of Justice.
"Otherwise, after my holy skeleton is delivered, we will combine the two ceremonies? Will this affect the effect of the ceremony?"
"No. It doesn't matter, because these two rituals belong to my domain. Rather, if you can successfully purify the nightmare, it may go more smoothly."
The gray craftsman thought for a while, and emphasized: "But the premise is that you can come out of the nightmare alive. Otherwise, if you come out from the past, I don't guarantee that the heart of justice will recognize him.
"Also, I can't tell you the plot here, or it will destroy the ceremony."
"Ah, it's all details. It's okay."
Annan smiled and said, "It's just solving nightmares... I'm the best at this."
