Mysterious city
Chapter 194 The Disappearing Firewall
If you bet correctly, you can certainly reap great benefits and gain greater power; if you bet wrongly, it will not only result in a relative "regression in skill", but may also cost your entire life!
You know, after demonization, human beings have almost completely lost their self-awareness and completely bid farewell to their original identity.
Even if there are some powerful monsters that can still maintain their sobriety and consciousness after being transformed into demons, who can dare to say whether that "sober monster" is still the same creature as the previous human being?
Therefore, for Constantine, absorbing the magic core itself is a matter of both benefits and risks, similar to venture capital.
This is also in line with the basic laws of most "investments" and the development of things throughout the ages. There are only vested interests but no risks. How can such a good thing be found?
In fact, at this point, Jiang Zhe can be said to have done a very good job.
At least before absorbing this magic core, Jiang Zhe had already conducted a profound "self-examination" and compared whether the desire that caused the demonization of the "Magic Mountain" was the same as the dark side in his own heart.
But no matter how well prepared Jiang Zhe was, he would never have thought that this magic core was different from the one he had absorbed before.
The words of the mysterious voice of unknown origin hidden in the magic core are extremely tempting to Jiang Zhe, no, to almost everyone.
Not only that, in addition to the promise that the mysterious man made to Jiang Zhe was very attractive in itself, his tone also had a convincing and irresistible "sense of majesty."
This kind of feeling cannot be achieved simply by practicing "speaking skills". After all, even ordinary humans can acquire that kind of ability after careful study. The effect is far from that of that mysterious person. Not on the same level.
It feels more like a higher-order creature communicating with humans.
Every character and every sentence that "he" spits out is not like a simple language, but more like an extremely simple and crude "command"!
To use an inappropriate analogy, it is as if a human being is giving instructions to a pet dog with a good bloodline.
Even if the pet dog is still very young and has not experienced systematic training, the "nature" engraved in its bones and genes will still make the pet dog involuntarily obey human orders.
In the "communication" with the mysterious man just now, Jiang Zhe's status or role was equivalent to that of the pet dog in the example just now.
Although the example given may not be appropriate, after all, Jiang Zhe is not that humble, and his status is not so low, but after all, it is not far different, at least from the results point of view.
The irresistible temptation in the mysterious man's tone, coupled with the large-scale invasion of the demonic intention in the "Magic Mountain"'s demonic core, made even a man as strong-willed as Jiang Zhe unable to help but fall into his trap.
Furthermore, at that time, Jiang Zhe's mental strength and physical condition had reached the limit of collapse. Given the ebb and flow of one thing, it is not surprising that Jiang Zhe would fall into this situation.
After all, he already knew that this trip was very dangerous, but in order to avoid anything going wrong with Lin Zihan and Lu Yunru, Jiang Zhe finally chose to do this.
Although this approach of "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and preferring to travel to the tiger mountains" is very manly and even has a plot of "American heroism", it is actually not worth promoting.
After all, in the end, instead of being able to go back faster to reassure Lin Zihan and Lu Yunru, Jiang Zhe was delayed a lot and might even risk his own life!
And compared to the second extremely dangerous situation of absorbing the magic core, Jiang Zhe's environment is even more dangerous.
After all, no matter how dangerous the second situation is, Constantine's own memory is still preserved.
You must know that a person's memory contains that person's experiences and emotions.
In the confrontation with the demonized memory fragments of the monster, the personal experiences and emotions of the absorbers are undoubtedly extremely important. This is an important guarantee to prevent Constantine from completely substituting himself into the monster's emotions!
If you have your own experiences and emotions, you won't be easily assimilated by the desires in the monster's heart. At least you still know who you are.
Just like a middle-aged man with rich experience, or a child who knows nothing and is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, which one is more susceptible to being deceived and abducted by others? Needless to say, right?
Furthermore, the memory not only contains emotions and experiences, but what is more important to the absorbers is the qualities and skills of being Constantine!
At the very least, if they still retain their own memories, the absorber can skillfully use spiritual power or other methods to fight against the absorber's demonic experience and prevent himself from being easily assimilated by it.
To a certain extent, it can be said that the memories of the absorbers as Constantine are much more important in the war against the assimilation of monsters than their memories as ordinary people!
It's a pity that Jiang Zhe not only lost his memory as an ordinary person, but also his memories with Lin Zihan, Lu Yunru, and other people who were more important to him.
Now even the memory of being Constantine is passing rapidly in Jiang Zhe's mind.
Jiang Zhe gradually began to forget all about the skills and knowledge to fight against the assimilation of monsters, and the skills to skillfully use spiritual power to fight against them.
In this battle, these things are as important as a good firewall.
Without this firewall, the "virus", that is, the devil, will invade without restraint, destroy Jiang Zhe's entire system, take all his body and thoughts as his own, and reproduce them as his own, so that he can continue to exist. The hotbed of the world!
But at this moment, Jiang Zhe couldn't realize how dangerous his current situation was because of his "fragmented" brain.
The thought of looking for Lin Zihan and Lu Yunru disappeared the moment he lost his memory of being an ordinary person.
And his vigilance towards the current situation disappeared the moment he lost the memory of being Constantine.
Therefore, instead of panic and vigilance, Jiang Zhe was more aware of curiosity and doubt at this moment.
However, although Jiang Zhe's memory has almost disappeared, his IQ is still there, at least at the level of an ordinary person.
So after seeing that he was in an unfamiliar environment and that he could not control his body, Jiang Zhe's mind was still filled with questions.
