Uplifting Journey

Has the Crimson King spoken?

Faced with this scene, the instinctive reaction of the mountain forest that has not been through the bloody killing field for a long time is to take a step back and let the spirit instantly immerse itself into the state that has just been explored and directly controls the action of the substitute with consciousness.

The Crimson King, who was floating in mid-air, clicked his tongue boredly, his body involuntarily rotated and moved back under the forced order, and violently swung two fists towards the air, causing a whistling sound in the cave.

Seeing that the stand-in followed his order, turned around and retreated to the limit range, and waved his fists in the opposite direction, Shan Lin, who had completely thought of a series of actions, calmed down——

He has just come out of the nightmare reincarnation, and he has not recovered from some kind of post-traumatic disorder similar to "there are always people who want to harm me".

However, the stand-in Crimson King doesn't seem to be completely out of control.

Shanlin clenched his fists, and found that the Crimson King, who had turned back to his body, made the same gesture as he wished. He didn't feel any resistance to his manipulation, so he slowly relaxed——

Judging from the situation where the air was attracted by the fist just now, the physical attack power of the stand-in "Crimson King" is not high, at least it does not pose much threat to him at present-even if he has not had time to adapt to the newborn demon body.

Tanks have many passive protection and blood recovery skills.

However, why couldn't he resist the Crimson King he directly controlled, and didn't immediately execute the order he gave to "swing a punch at him"?

And why, this stand-in had been acting like a marionette without self-awareness before, and didn't speak suddenly until he encountered his order? Could it be that the previous performance was a deliberate disguise?

"Rough and vague orders have more room for free play for the stand-in," the Crimson King spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders as if he had grasped the host's thoughts, "As for why I suddenly awakened to self-awareness.

"I think it may be that your order to 'suicide' is too exciting for both of us."

"An order to commit suicide? You said that I asked you to punch me?" The mountain forest under the armor couldn't see his expression, but a trace of disdain could be heard from his cold snort, "Just with your weak fist?"

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with the strength of you and me," the Crimson King raised his index finger and said meaningfully, "In 'this world', you and I are really One.

"Your life is my life, your soul is my soul, and vice versa—of course, this fundamental connection between the substitute and the host needs to be continuously excavated before it can be gradually revealed. With your The same is true for the strength of my Scarlet King, which is built on the foundation stone of body and spirit."

Shanlin, who was about to ask something, paused when he heard the words——

Indistinctly, he tasted some extremely deep and complex flavors from the words of the Crimson King

But he couldn't grasp this thread of inspiration that he didn't know where it came from.

At this moment, the Crimson King raised his right arm and stretched it by his side——

"It's actually very simple to prove the close connection between us, and I think you need some intuitive feelings, and you also have the ability to bear this deep feeling."

Shanlin froze for a moment, then his eyelids under the armor trembled.

An indescribable, invisible force flashed in front of him, as if the whole world had just dropped a frame.

The outstretched right arm of Crimson Wang Ping disappeared instantly like a bursting bubble.

There was no time to react or understand, and the sudden burst of severe pain interrupted Shanlin's thinking.

Like a furry cat, it instantly retreated to the forest at the cave exit, looking in shock at the one-armed Crimson King who was forced to be pulled in front of him because he exceeded the limit range.

The rune armor made of precious materials from multiple worlds, the rune on its right arm was completely dimmed, and Shanlin held his right shoulder with his left hand, his eyes dropped through the armor, and he saw the mud contained inside——

At the moment when the Crimson King damaged his right arm by inexplicable means, Shanlin's rather slender arm under the burly armor was crushed into unknowingly fine pieces at the same moment, and the devil's blood poured out from his shoulder. It was mixed into a pile of meat paste that was barely in the shape of a hand.

After being shocked, Shanlin clenched his right fist fiercely—the powerful demon bloodline integrated and upgraded from multiple world materials, healed the devastating limb damage in a few breaths.

It seems that if the substances that make up the body have not completely disappeared and scattered, restoring the state of life is a relatively simple matter for him now?

Feeling the process of the newborn body's continuous repair of damage, Shan Lin looked up at the Crimson King.

There was indeed a deep understanding of the current situation of the two sides in his heart, but the vigilance and hostility hidden in his eyes were also rapidly rising at the same time.

Regarding this, the Crimson King remained calm on the surface, and only moved his right arm that was repaired synchronously, but he was amazed in his heart——

Although the host of the mountain forest looks very cautious and thoughtful at first glance, but if you look closely, you will find that this is actually a distorted manifestation of some paranoid in his heart.

It has almost become the instinct of the mountains and forests to isolate everything they encounter from themselves and prioritize them in the category of hostility.

Especially at this point in time just after leaving the bloody final battle of the nightmare reincarnation, Shanlin will not believe in any external people or things, even if it is a substitute who can be freely controlled by him to a large extent, after showing a certain degree of self-awareness , he also seemed extremely resistant.

This is not a resistance to uncontrollable power, nor is it a stress reaction to the just hurt, but the mountains and forests are closing their hearts. companion?

Is this social terror? Or... the sequelae of losing all teammates?

The Crimson King shook his head slightly—maybe the contact method he chose this time is not appropriate, and the next round of timeline may change to a more natural approach.

For example, to show self-awareness since awakening the substitute, or...to really execute the order to die without saying a word?

It's a pity that the power of the stand-in system in this world is not easy to bypass the host to make a big mobilization, and the power on your own side should be used sparingly.

Before the frontline base is established and a stable and safe resource regeneration method is found, the consumption of a drop in the bucket is still consumption. Otherwise, the multiple timelines of reality observation can be directly exploded, and an optimal solution can be selected or even edited on the spot.

"Okay, I understand why you didn't carry out that order." Shan Lin lifted his combat alert posture, he slowly stood up straight, and rubbed his right arm with some displeasure, "But with the strength you showed before, I Isn't this a huge extra weakness out of thin air?"

Synchronization of damage without any reduction is indeed too disadvantageous for a tank with thick blood and high defense - attacking a double is equivalent to completely ignoring his physical damage from armor to demon body to various defensive skills relief.

"Don't worry," the Crimson King smiled pointedly, "'Only a double can defeat a double', as long as you gradually adapt to the power I bring, I won't be your weakness, take your spirit of life as your The basic self will become stronger as the connection between us deepens, and—in this world, there is no power that can threaten the substitute of the void state—

"I can sense in the torrent of fate that there are no other substitute messengers in this world."

This is true—the Crimson King, who took over the stand-in system from a higher perspective, has not observed the second "client", at least the current world line is like this.

Shanlin pondered for a while, and nodded after paying half the salary—after all, the "arrow" that awakened his substitute was the reward of the God and Devil series, and he still has a certain level of power in the infinite space.

As an additional incarnation of his body and spirit, Shanlin can vaguely feel the strange level of the double, and the Crimson King should not be so easily touched and destroyed by ordinary energy or spiritual attacks.

So, let’s move on to the next topic for deeper understanding——

"You used your ability before? What is that? When you awakened your self-awareness, what extra memory did you bring? Do you know who you are and where you came from? Also, have you obtained my memory?" Recall Just now, the Crimson King's performance of being "understanding" to the point of reading his mind made Shanlin feel a little uncomfortable, "...can you directly read my inner activities?"

"So many questions?" The Crimson King considered his words, "That's a long story."
