Chapter 359 Pain

"Can you lower the light?" the machine asked Si Yang politely.

"Of course." Si Yang raised both hands and gestured to the white sky, and the dazzling white light dimmed instantly and became extremely soft.

As the white light dimmed, the ray of sunlight became very conspicuous.

"You can take off the cloth strip." The machine gently patted Li Luo's shoulder and reminded.

Li Luo tried to take off the cloth strip and rubbed her eyes. After a while, she completely adapted to the current brightness.

She looked around curiously, first found the location of the block, then looked at the machine, and finally set her sights on the black stone statue in front of her.

Li Luo looked at the strange stone statue in confusion and asked:

"Can you explain it to me?"

"Of course..."

The machine first introduced his predictive ability, and then told Li Luo about Si Yang's experience.

Si Yang on the side also listened carefully.

It seemed that it was also recalling its life through the words of the machine.

Not only that, it was also very surprised that the machine was so familiar with it.

"Can you really see the future?"

After listening, this ancient life that had traveled in the infinite sea for many years and had extremely profound knowledge looked at the machine and sighed:

"Humans can actually create such a powerful race."

But the machine shook its head: "We are not a race, we are just a tool."

"In my opinion, you can already be regarded as a new race." Si Yang still insisted on his opinion.

"No, we are tools." The machine seemed very stubborn about this matter.

Seeing that the machine was so serious, Si Yang didn't want to continue arguing, but began to supplement some of the information that was omitted in the machine's words.

"The identity on the island is a compensation mechanism for Paradise Island."

"This was originally designed to eliminate the influence of the hell beast, but in the process of self-operation of Paradise Island, new rules were slowly formed..."

The hell beast will devour the pain of life, this pain can be long or short, and some are even memories that accompany a lifetime.

They stored these memories in their nests and created a hell island to accommodate these pains, and these pains also became memory structures on the hell island.

After the life on the island lost the pain, the paradise island would "supplement" these memories and construct some false experiences, just like the false memories that appeared after Li Luo lost his memory.

However, a person's identity is made up of pain.

Only after being injured can one become a "wounded soldier".

Only after participating in wars can one become a "soldier".

Only after practicing until the voice is hoarse can one become a "singer".

It is a person's pain, big or small, that constitutes this person's life, lays the foundation for his three views, makes him have social attributes, and has various identities.

When the pain is lost, it is equivalent to the loss of identity.

Therefore, the paradise island can only correct the wrongs and modify the memory of the creatures in a "strong correction" way, and impose an identity on the creatures on the paradise island.

In this way, the creatures that come to the paradise island will not feel "I am not me".

Li Luo listened, still a little confused.

"But didn't I just register my identity when I landed on the island?"

Hearing this question, Si Yang smiled and asked, "Why do you think that Paradise Island didn't affect you at that time?"

Li Luo was stunned, and suddenly remembered that he happened to look down at the nameplate at that time for some reason.

Is it because of the influence of Paradise Island?

"Don't underestimate the power of Paradise Island." Si Yang said proudly.

"But why is it the Fire Thief?" Li Luo was still a little puzzled.

"Maybe it's because your memory is related to the Fire Thief." Si Yang didn't know how to answer this question.

"This is all the self-judgment of Paradise Island. It may think that your pain is more in line with this identity."

Hearing this, Li Luo also nodded, thinking.

"Then is the cost of suppressing the relics also the effect of Paradise Island?"

"No, those costs were eaten by the hell beast."

"Eat?"

"Yes, what they eat cannot be simply defined as 'memory'. It is more appropriate to say that it eats the painful part of your life, just like biting off your arm. From then on, this part no longer belongs to you."

"After this experience disappears, of course the cost of the relics will no longer exist."

Si Yang said, and looked at the laces on his mycelium again.

"However, both your and my pain have been found back. I don't know how it was done. I have never seen such a situation."

Si Yang seemed to be lonely for too long, and did not stop, continuing to tell what it had done:

"At that time, I should have been swallowed by the hell beast. The pain, so Paradise Island naturally supplemented me with a false memory, and also gave me an identity-builder."

After Si Yang woke up on the black hill, his memory had been corrected.

It only remembered that it was the guardian of the island, dragged down the nest by the terrible hell beast, and launched an attack.

Now, the hell beasts have broken a hole in the sky. If it weren't for the suppression of the white light, they would have escaped soon.

Si Yang panicked and quickly returned to the ground.

It quickly filled the square hole and continued to guard the island.

It always felt that it had forgotten something, but as a builder, it was a very happy thing to be able to work on the island it built.

Just like that, day after day, year after year.

Siyang stayed alone on the island for a long time.

It developed a strange habit, and would touch its mycelium hair from time to time, because it always felt that something was missing there, but it couldn't remember it.

In this way, Siyang waited for humans to land on the island.

This creature that had never been seen before began to build buildings on the island, wanting to use Paradise Island as a base.

Siyang wanted to expel these humans because these strange buildings might affect the function of Paradise Island.

However, as a builder, it became interested in human buildings.

It wanted to see how these buildings were built, and just like that, unknowingly, human buildings were all over the island.

Perhaps it was lonely for too long, Siyang finally decided to let this seemingly very weak creature continue to live on the island.

However, in order to maintain the function of Paradise Island, Si Yang transformed all human buildings into white light stone buildings with higher safety, and smoothed the edges and corners of these buildings without affecting the function of the buildings.

Because if there is a shadow, it will affect the operation of Paradise Island.

After finishing everything, Si Yang entered the interlayer between the white dome and the Hell Beast's lair, guarding Paradise Island all the time, and also monitoring this "terrible" lair.

Under the correction of memory, Si Yang always thought that the coal balls were just some kind of indigenous creatures on Paradise Island and had nothing to do with the Hell Beast.

It's just that it always feels familiar when looking at these coal balls, but under the influence of Paradise Island, it didn't realize that there was anything wrong.

Until just now, the Hell Beast's lair suddenly broke a hole.

As soon as Si Yang came nearby, he saw a black robot, and there was a human with a black cloth covering his eyes, like being held hostage.

So, Si Yang made a decisive choice to attack.

"I'm sorry, at that time, I was very sensitive to all black things." Si Yang said apologetically.
