Trafford’s Trading Club

Both the ceiling and the four walls were painted black in the room, and 24 went into a stuporous state again.

The clock never spoke or even closed its eyes.

This is a quiet breathtaking kung fu, learned in the early years from a master of national studies, but naturally it was not to gain extraordinary strength, but simply to cultivate the mind.

The clock had always felt that the family background only gave him a relatively high starting point, and if he could not digest all the advantages offered by this starting point, a proud disciple like him would fall off the high stage very easily, once he fell, he would be crushed.

He is not yet able to do the same as Zen, sitting is the realm of the day, but returning confused thoughts to calm down, can still do it... and because his heart has deprived him of so many emotions, he is doing better today than ever.

Finally, the clock dust opened its eyes.

Again and again, failing from his attempts, he turned back - or felt the clock falling into its present state.

“Do people really have souls?” The clock's dusty voice clamps its eyes, “what is the soul? Body parts? Or is it simply the cellular activity of brain neurons? ”

24 For a moment of silence, it is a matter of surprise that the clock has fallen.

He said softly: "There are many theories about the soul, and there are deviations in cognition between different people. The mystery of the soul, even I'm not completely involved. Fully aware of all the secrets of the soul, that is already the extent of the Creator. ”

“Mr. 24 doesn't know either?” The clock dusted and frowned.

"I'm just saying that people have different perceptions. Some artificial souls are thoughts, others artificial souls are imprints, and even others believe that the soul is part of the will of the whole world… I prefer this statement. ”

"- [sic]" So tell me what kind of opinion you prefer, sir. ”

24 I thought later: “I have been to a world that has become ruined. They're on a path called science. This world artificially creates a new world will. ”

The clock listened quietly, with no intention of interrupting, just writing it down word for word.

“They built a machine that, in a moment, brings together the minds of all people and creates a huge consciousness. When this consciousness is born, it almost possesses the capacity of the Creator, no less than the will of the world… even the two wills begin to emerge in the most primitive form, eventually destroying the entire civilization. Eventually, the will of the world triumphed over the assembly of consciousness and devoured it. ”

24 Silenced for a long time, "it devoured the will of the world after the assembly of consciousness, unprecedented strength, and its exclusivity was ever stronger, an absolute no-go zone for us explorers. ”

Explorer… restricted area.

The clock still writes these down.

“Although the will of the world has become more powerful than ever, I have one, and that is what it should be. ”

24 Sighing, "I have been spying on this ruined world in the crevices until a new civilization began to emerge in this world… Humanity began to emerge, and the will of the world began to weaken, and as humankind continued to reproduce, the will of the world eventually returned to the level it was before it was killed by collective consciousness. ”

The clock dust grabbed the key place, “Mr. 24 said," the will of the world divided itself, cultivated civilization, and finally devoured it again? ”

"I didn't say that... after all, it's just a guess that hasn't come true. After all, I've only met this once, and I can't even use it as a reference. ”

"According to Mr. Zhong, the soul… is equal to the consciousness of man. ”

“Or just part of it." 24 laughed. “But if that's the point, it's like saying," Whether it's extraordinary power, scientific power, it's all from the will of the world… do you feel contradictory? ”

“Without development, it already exists, and development only reaches what it should be...” The clock frowned deeper, like talking to itself, “It feels like an established script, and then rehearsing over and over again... to verify what, or to observe what...”

24 After a cold and deep look at the clock dust for a while, his eyelids dropped slightly, seemingly sleepy... but there was far less peace in his heart.

He was well aware of the state of clock dust, he was just an ordinary man, and he was also a mortal with a missing soul - but such a mortal with a missing soul could deduce from his own words a question he had been pondering for a long time.

Of course, this must have been inspired by what he discovered, but being able to grasp the contradictions in it in extreme times, pointing directly to the heart of the problem, is already a remarkable achievement for mortals.

Suddenly, the clock dropped and asked, "Sir, is the so-called technology of soul modification based on this view? ”

24 The draped curtains opened slightly, "Why say that? ”

The clock falls like a state of self-questioning, “Assuming that human beings have already divided part of the so-called will of the world from the beginning, then theoretically everyone has the possibility to use this power... You said that your spell is a gift of your soul that others cannot learn, but you also said that you can modify it through the soul to allow me to acquire this power... Since it is a gift, nature is unique, but can be acquired through transformation, it is also said that the so-called gift everyone has, some are overt, some are implicit, talent can be different, but can be adjusted through transformation... adjustment becomes overt, adjustment behavior is similar. But all this presupposes that… the core of everyone's soul is at least similar, or… common. Similar, common, reverse illustrative, comes from the same source. ”

It always feels like my boss will easily be paid off by this new boss... are people so smart in this subworld...

“So you think that the risk of this kind of soul modification is actually small, and I'm just spreading it on you, right?" 24 Smiles are not laughs.

The clock shook its head: “This is just my guess, which comes from the information you revealed. I'm not proud of the one who thinks I'm right. However... I would like to try it. ”

“Oh?”

The clock looked at 24, and there was an idea in his heart, and he said, “Since Mr. can transform his soul, let's try it… the subject of the test, I can find it for him. ”

24 revealed an interesting smile: “Wait for enough subjects to come out and ensure the success rate before you plan to do it yourself… boss, I find you are actually a natural cold-blooded person. ”

The clock dropped slowly: “I will prepare the candidate… then I will not disturb the gentleman to rest. ”

The clock went very decisively, until the door of the room was closed, and after darkness here, it rang 24 sounds slowly, “What a wonderful soul, who is so broken, cut it apart...”

……

……

After coming out of Ziling's magazine agency, Leng Feng said a few words to Wang Yuexian and then separated them.

The main purpose of this Cold Wing return was only to meet old friends and leaders, so Cold Wing went to visit several families in the next time.

At around 3: 00 p.m., Cold Wing just called Rochu - still asked for it at dinner last night.

“Would you be interested in climbing with me? ”

After coming out of the last visiting old leader, Coldface called Lochu.

……

Lo Qiu was not impressed with Uncle Leng Feng, but he knew that some people were only seeing each other and did not care about the length of the meeting.

His father did have a lot of friends, but there were only a few who were really close to him.

Of course, if you like something like this, Rochu can give it to someone, and so can others.

This is probably what we call business dealings.

Shanxia Mountain, a local in the city has gone to the sights of vomit… On the trail boarding, the cold side walks flavorfully, saying these exclamations.

“Now young people are willing to come out and climb the mountain.” Cold smile says: "Life is too rich, climbing mountains may not be a game for young people. ”

Lochu took a bottle of water from his backpack and passed it over.

Cold swept their throats, and they parked halfway up the hill, sitting where the wind was blowing.

He pointed to a big gray spot ahead and said excitedly: “I trained there before, and then the base left, and I went somewhere else... well, this is the spot. However, it is said that it will be removed next year and that a new airport will be built. ”

Cold flashes point to cities beneath the mountains, with some pointing to the smell of the rivers and the sea mulberry fields.

As he said, Cold Wing gradually stopped talking and looked silently at the city below the mountain.

After a while of heat, Cold Wing shouted, looking at Lochu, suddenly laughed: “Your child, it's strange to say, it's always easy to see you want to say something... say you're not here, you're there, say you're there, it feels like talking to the air. You and your dad, they're really different. ”

Rochu couldn't say anything… probably because of his own physique.

Cold shook his head again, "I still like that young man is a little temperamental, you shouldn't be like this at your age. Boy, don't blame me for talking. I see too many young people, and hundreds of new people come in camp every year, some smaller than you, some bigger than you. Crazy, grumpy, cowardly or silent, I don't talk about life, but life is so common... are you, are you having any problems? Is it about Ziling? ”

Lo Qiu shrugged... this time I saw Cold Flank, he was in a rather obscure state.

He doesn't intend to treat Cold Wing like he treats his Guests, but at the same time, he can't treat Mahoud like he did, Ye Yan... Cold Wing is in a position that Rochu first met.

Somewhat intimate, but always missing something in essence... but the cold flashes interrupted Rochu's mind.

“Why say that?” Rochu asked curiously.

Cold edge is supposed to be quite a pleasant person, but there is some hesitation at this time... but hesitation is not really his personality, so he exasperated and said directly: “I don't know how to say this, a few years ago you were a child and most in need of care, I don't know what to say... but now that you are an adult, you have your own thoughts. So, what do you think of Ziling? You don't need her guardianship anymore, and she's such a young man, and you guys are such relationships... I think you realize that, too? ”

Suddenly, Lochu finally knew where he was unable to locate the Cold Wing.

Silence halves.

Loch Qiu just looked cold, smiled, was the boss's voice, "Mr. Cold, have you ever liked her? ”

Cold eyes slightly confused, accustomed to life and death, the momentum can suppress thousands of recruits him, but at this time, there is a feeling of not looking directly at the young man... because of the sudden tone of Lochu at this time, some slight anger.

After all, he won't be really angry. Cold smiled bitterly and shook his head: “If you don't add the last two words, I'm afraid I'm going to beat you up. ”

Lochu seemed more quiet.

Cold and afraid of Lochu's shoulder, he looked down the hill, "I have a wife and kids, I'm in a good mood, not as much as you think. It's just that as an old friend, I really don't want to see her go on like this. Remember what you said to me yesterday when you went to the cemetery? ”

Lochu nodded.

“She still hasn't let go.” Calm down, “she said." It's a good woman, either unattractive or forever. ”

Lochu is silent.

"" Would you look at her and cry a few times a year? ”

“In recent years, I have been unable to find what I want to do.” Lochu didn't look cold, he looked down the hill, "I felt like I'd been searching for a way not to be deprived of my emotions… but I couldn't find the real reason to drive this behavior. And in the search process, maybe I've done this subconsciously. ”

Cold frowned, he had no intention of arguing with Lochu today, just to confirm something... he knew that several people, such as Mahoud, were very close to the Lochu family, and some things were inconvenient to raise in person.

Someone who needs someone, not very close, but who also cares about the family, pokes it in the face... the whole person, probably needs him to do it.

He didn't know what Rochu was talking about at the moment, but asked subconsciously: "What do you... want to do? ”

“Find a world where both possibilities exist simultaneously and do not contradict each other… ”

Time pauses at this moment.

It's a real pause.

The Earth is directly in a state of stagnation.

Everything, all the thought activities, the sea water, the earth, the wind, the trekking cars on the ground, the trains, the countless routes, or the people who eat or talk… even the club, is wiping the cup of maid.

These are all clearly manifested in Lochu's perceptions.

Maybe just for a second.

Maybe a minute.

Perhaps a long time has passed.

Another power different from the altar, like a seed, fiercely, in the body of Rocchu, suddenly sprouted...

……

The mountain breeze suddenly blows up, the cold flashes suddenly a cold tremor, it feels like it's been distracting for a long time.

He took a subconscious look at Lochu around him and found him holding his phone and photographing the city down the hill.

There are actually some things he would like to say about Ren Ziling's future... but by the time he gets to his mouth, he won't be able to say it... maybe wait a few more years.

He thought so.

“Go back.” Stand up cold, "I booked tonight's plane, and I'll be gone in a minute. ”

This is actually two or three days ahead of schedule... but because of the presence of the Viper, Cold Wing had to end his vacation in advance and needed to return to Beijing as soon as possible to deal with the potential Zhao family threat.
