In the church under the colorful dome, in front of the altar with black spring water surging, the young girl, who was originally a master and servant, faced each other with knives.
The young man, whose eyes were soaked in dense blue light, stared blankly at the wrist that was being strangled, and asked aloud: "Have you noticed me a long time ago?"
The moment he truly took over this body, "he" realized something was wrong. The strange explosive power that had grown up from "him"'s continuous energy infusion, and the long river that seemed to have life force condensed into stars, had all turned into nothing. A puddle of stagnant water, no matter how "he" drives it, he can't activate it at all.
And if this was just a coincidence, then when he opened his eyes, it was completely dark and gray, but "he" completely understood it.
The tall and beautiful girl who returned to the world showed a slightly confused look, then turned cold and replied calmly: "No, I originally thought it was Alsace's dark consciousness lingering, but I didn't expect it to be you It seems He was completely devastated."
This question and answer then comes to an end. Obviously, both parties know each other's true identity.
For a moment, both of them fell silent.
After a moment, the charming girl with long purple hair suddenly smiled and said mockingly: "Did you realize that even the power of my eyes can't be used? Isn't it strange that you have always been entrusted in my body, even Always spying on my mind, but completely unaware of when I learned to restrain your power?"
She raised her pointed white chin and said sharply: "After all, you are just a fragment of incomplete consciousness. How can even your own body, Ner'zhul, understand the power of the infinite space adventurer?"
"You meanXuan Bing?" The consciousness that occupied Luo Xia's body looked back at the memory and suddenly reacted, but he was confused: "But even in the dream world for three years, I have always watched your growth. , you probably didn¡¯t master this method at that time.¡±
"That's false," Rorschach, who controlled Busujima Saeko's body, objected, but changed the subject and said, "It's not a complete deception. The general fragments and memories are all my real training process, but The real time is not three years, but a full five years. Captain Xuan Bing has long been aware of your existence. Although he cannot directly erase you, he can tamper with the speed of the dream time flow to a certain extent and give you a sense of time. The illusion of elongation is that eight hours pass by like a whole day, and false memory fragments are consciously created to complete them, thus missing a lot of things.¡±
"Two years is not a long time, but it is enough for me to practice and complete another kind of power" As if recalling those difficult years, the girl frowned slightly, showing a cute look. .
The so-called other kind of power is better said to be two small universe combat techniques, which are the signature moves of Virgo Shaka, who is also a Saint of the Zodiac, "Mind's Eye" and "Tianwu Baolun".
Rorschach's Hades Warrior ability is not like other small universe practitioners. The source of his power comes from the eighty-eight constellations in Greek mythology, so he is not limited by the attributes of the constellations. As long as he is serious and willing to learn, he can even learn the twelve constellations in sequence. All combat moves. However, the power attributes of the Golden Saints of the Zodiac actually reflect the myths of the ancient constellations represented by them. After thousands of years of Greek history, various tactics have become increasingly mature and sophisticated. Without the support of its unique small universe, there would be no way it would be possible. Blessed by the power of the constellations, even if it is used forcefully, it is just an illusion. As for the small universe transformed by Rorschach with negative vitality, its attributes are closest to each other and can best be exerted by the "corpse energy" of Cancer. Therefore, when Rorschach practiced the power of Cancer, there was no trace of the cold consciousness lurking in his heart. Surprised and moved.
It's just that this outsider, who has roughly scanned Rorschach's memory and didn't even dare to go deeper, has never read the original comics seriously and is not an indigenous creature from the earth, so he doesn't know that there is still a person in the Golden Twelve Palaces who has a lot of power. The Saint who also connects to the underworld - Virgo.
The symbolic source of the zodiac sign Virgo in Greek mythology originally came from the legend of "Perfusene", the queen of Hades, the god of Hades, and the so-called "virgin" in it should have been translated as "Virgo". It refers to the Queen of the Underworld herself, which is nothing more than the gentle image of the goddess representing life and youth after she returns to the earth from the underworld. Because of this, when cartoonists create the entire world system, even if they intentionally or unintentionally hide a series of settings, the relationship between the Saints of this constellation and the underworld is actually no more ghostly than the practice of accumulating corpse energy. The Cancer Saint is even more superficial. The intricate relationship between the two sides is also a dark history that has been continuously implicated in the history of the Millennium Holy War.
In the story "Saint Seiya Prequel", because Hades, the king of Hades, used his divine power to cheat, once the underworld warriors foughtIf you die, you will be reborn in the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss and fight again. In this way, no matter how many times you defeat them, it will be meaningless; and when the contemporary Golden Saints are helpless, only the previous generation Virgo Ashmita, The first one to understand the "eighth sense" leading to the underworld, enter the underworld alone and wander without any damage, and at the last moment find the "Mu Luanzi" that seals the soul of the underworld warrior, and then sacrifice himself to become the sealed rosary, thus ending jihad. In the main work "Saint Seiya", Shaka, who is also the inheritor of Virgo, once again understood the eighth sense before the holy war, and also sacrificed himself under the twin trees, thus opening the path of the Golden Saint. The way to the underworld.
This common fate of two generations of Saints is not so much a coincidence as it is a derivative of the mythical shadow. Perhaps as a comic author, he did not seriously realize this, but in the real world based on this blueprint, it appears The cause and effect setting of "The end of Pluto's Holy War must be opened by the awakening of the contemporary Virgo Saints". Because only Virgo, as a symbol of the vitality side of "Perfusene", has the power to appease Pluto who fell into rage due to failure, and only the self-sacrifice of the saints of this constellation can make Hades Feeling the gaze of your lover, you are willing to fall asleep again.
Therefore, every tragic recurrence of the sacrifice of a Virgo Saint seems to be an accidental coincidence of personal heroism, but in fact it is the result of repeated compromises and promotions by the gods behind it, even to ensure that the "talent" of the eighth sense is awakened on time as a Saint. , the successors of each generation of Virgo Golden Saints are simply reincarnated clones of gods and Buddhas, and the responsibility of this life is engraved in the subconscious.
In other words, as an existence with two sides in one body, the small universe of Hades, which originated from Hades himself, can naturally use the same tricks that represent the opposite side of Virgo, the "Queen of Hades". And Rorschach, of course, can also practice Virgo's moves and skills.
But while this is true in theory, actual practice is another matter. The fighting methods of the Golden Saints originally involve countless branches of the human body, constellations, mythology, and philosophy, and are extremely difficult and obscure. Among the twelve zodiac signs, Virgo and Gemini are both ranked the most difficult. The former needs to understand the core Buddhist thoughts. , and the latter must simply be schizophrenic, and it doesn't look like it is prepared for normal people. Even if Rorschach can rely on the amazing talent attached to the psychic physique to quickly gain access to the power of the Netherworld-type Cancer, when it comes to Virgo, he needs to go through a lot of inferences and analogies to analyze its power. As for the related combat skills, it is even more difficult. Only by returning the "virgin" to its origin and re-transforming it into the "Queen of the Underworld" can one practice cultivation. The level of difficulty is actually no less than opening up a new ability. If it were not for the countless experience and knowledge provided by Captain Xuan Bing for comparison, It saves countless time, otherwise with Rorschach's own talent, there would be no possibility of success within a hundred years.
In the infinite space where effort and reward are equal, Rorschach¡¯s efforts will naturally yield the results they deserve.
Because the time was only two short years, although Rorschach envied the fame of the golden saint who lost three times in the battle of "The Demon Surrendered", and was jealous of the "Blood Pool Hell" where a drop of blood turned into hell at the flick of a finger; For him, who has an unknown evil consciousness hidden in his body, he actually has no other choice but to practice "Tian Wu Bao Lun" and master the sealing tactics derived from this combat method.
But what he didn¡¯t expect was that this Buddhist ability involving the five senses of the human body through the microcosm was actually related to the uncontrollable mutant gene power in his body. Among the six subtle techniques of "Tianwu Baolun" that operate on the eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind, the "body" that controls the operation of the body and the "eye" that involves human vision correspond to the mutant genes respectively. The chemical reaction in the body and the transformation process of power in the eyes, so after he completed these two practices, he suddenly discovered that he could use the small universe to affect the operation of parts of the body, and indirectly control the power of "Cyclops".
In this way, after waking up from the dream world, Luo Xia's "consciousness" of "Tianwu Baolun Five Senses Cultivation" naturally started to operate. Although it was also unable to uncover the hidden inner demons, it could help him shield some of his inner thoughts. , only revealing the content deliberately released by the surface consciousness, and this ability seems to have inherited part of the mystery of its source "Buddhist theory of cause and effect", and can even reversely sense the intensity of malicious intent, so as to take precautions in advance.
Because of this, at the last moment of the "Ghoul Contract" ceremony, Rorschach sensed the strong malice that almost burst out. But the situation was too urgent at that time, and he only had time to use the incomplete version of the Tianwu Baolun on himself, temporarily cutting off the nerve sensing in his eyes and sealing the power of the small universe in his body; as for the last remaining power from the psychic Wuli, on the other hand, followed his soul directly out of the body, and naturally he also left the building empty.
In other words, the evil spiritual body in front of us occupies nothing more thanIt's just the body of an ordinary boy with no power.
"Haha" The outsider holding Rorschach's body still refused to give up and continued to ask: "I still don't understand, even if you can calculate all the changes in your body, how do you know that your resurrected servant will cooperate with you? What about all the actions you take? You must know that possessing a soul like yours is not about taking over the body. The body already has an owner, and everything you say and do is ultimately determined by the will of the girl. "
Luo Xia's answer surprised him - "Actually, I don't know what Xi Ji's will is, and I don't know if you have done anything to manipulate her, so I don't dare to take risks with Yanran But, really, After entering this body, I realizedI was wrong."
¡The mistake is¡you shouldn¡¯t distrust them¡
Luo Xia sighed slightly in her heart, but she remembered the feeling at the moment when her soul rushed into this girl's body.
It was like water and latex were melting. Almost at the same time he entered the female body, he clearly felt a weak and simple consciousness, like a piece of white paper. She was also hidden in the body, but she sealed herself. When she got up, she was obviously as embarrassed as if she were facing her father, but also exuded cowardice and regret. She stayed away from her but couldn't help but wander around. Luo Xia easily understood her hesitation.
¡¡sorry¡¡
?¡not at the last moment, like my sister¡
"I'm not the kind of selfish pervert who insists on being loyal to his companions," Luo Xia was stunned for a moment before he remembered the figure of the girl standing quietly under the ice crystal snow cave, letting the sword pierce her heart. My heart suddenly warmed up, and I conveyed my thoughts to that consciousness: "You have proved everything with death, who can do it better? On the contrary, it is me Although I am indeed resurrected, I have not used you as a As for the victim and the pathfinder, I should be the one who should apologize"
No matter whatMaster, please use my things
Then, with the whisper of her heart, the girl's spirit completely let go of all the authority of her body, and sent the only thing she had in this world to Rorschach without any defense.
No matter what kind of conspiracy, no matter how dark and mysterious it is, once it is exposed to the sun, it is like a poisonous snake that has been caught seven inches away, and there is no harm left.
"Okay," Luo Xia also put back his somewhat chaotic thoughts, let go of "his" knife-holding arm, took a step back, and said indifferently: "I know you want to delay the time to unlock the seal, but I also need to sort it out. With this expanded magic power, you can now die in peace."
"Hmph, you can destroy this body if you can." Although the evil consciousness that occupied his body came from Ner'zhul himself, it was impossible to comprehend the power of Virgo after the mutation. After discovering that the attempt was useless, he finally gave up. He tried to hide it again, and simply said: "I am just a spiritual clone, but it is you. After losing your body, will the Book of Reincarnation still recognize your identity as an adventurer in a foreign land? I want to see how you do it. go back!"
"You still don't understand" Luo Xia shook his head and sighed softly: "I don't understand what gift I have prepared for you for this moment."
As soon as he finished speaking, the negative consciousness on the other side was suddenly shocked. Because the young man's body, which had been completely occupied by him, suddenly started to move, stiff as a robot, with a solemn face, one hand raised upwards, the index fingers interlocked, as if holding a string of invisible rosary beads, and the other hand clasped together Hold it empty, like worshiping gods and Buddhas.
"The evil tyrants in the sky, the demons and monsters!"
