Where does personality exist?

You should know that as long as the brain marrow can be completely alive, people don’t need any body at all. Just stimulating the electric current from the outside can make only areas of the brain dream and survive.

However, if anyone is really just a brain, then that person has to create a personality that "a brain-only self" is necessary, that is, he has to abandon the body's big self and preserve the intellectual ego.

Because although only the brain can survive, people must have their bodies before they can develop a true sense of self-awareness.

And after having a body, what is cultivated simultaneously with it is the personality we have now.

However, the body, as the root of intellectual nature, cannot be said to be intellectual.

Just as there is no way to explain what the color itself is, no matter which color it is, they are just a description. There is no way to say that yellow is yellow and red is red...

Such things.

Going back to the topic, it means that the body itself is just an existence, but it is undeniable that it has personality and is just unable to think about things, so it has neither intellectual nor meaningfulness.

However, there are exceptions in everything - for example, Mu Xiu himself is the best example.

When he entered the fourth level of life forbidden zone, every cell in his body developed a weak instinctive thought. Although he had cell-level control ability, this kind of "control" would be subject to resistance before he fully integrated the cell consciousness.

It is not something that is difficult to understand. For example, if his body as a whole is compared to an extremely huge super empire, then the instinctive consciousness produced by countless cells is the will of the tens of trillions of people within the country.

But not every people's thoughts are completely consistent with the will of the country. After all, since the people have their own consciousness, they must have their own ideas, rather than puppets who are timid and have no position.

When there are conflicts between each other's interests, they will more or less develop rebellious psychology and rebellious emotions of opposition and confrontation.

If the problem has not been resolved and the people accumulate more and more resentment, it will naturally begin to explode.

Every time this outbreak is suppressed by the will of the state, it will only exacerbate this not-so-excellent process, and in the end, there will be rebel forces intending to subvert the country...

From the perspective of the relationship between subject consciousness and cellular instinct, this is the generation of violent consciousness and the inhibition of subject consciousness. When the inhibition reaches a certain level, it will explode, and even form the so-called inner demon.

In fact, the body has produced its own personality and no longer completely unconditionally obeys any instructions of the subjective consciousness as before.

Because when the body loses its rational control, only the most primitive instinct remains.

——It is called survival.

However, the "two rituals" are different. She is the origin of the essence of that body that is awakened and is also endowed with intellectuality...

So, the ultimate concept in the legend became the existence of entities, and things became terrifying.

The world will prevent things that are destroyed by itself, so creatures close to their roots cannot generally possess their bodies and be born. This situation should not be possible.

But, as the saying goes, there are always exceptions in everything. For example, monsters like Yakumoko are good examples.

Therefore, it is very similar to coincidence, but not like coincidence. The original source of intelligence itself is actually miraculously endowed with a person who can act.

Although it is only associated with the root, she is part of the root itself, so it is equivalent to the same existence. Rather than connecting the vortex of the root, she is a personality born after the root flows out.

...

...

"Is it funny? Actually, I should have disappeared as an immature fetus, but I ended up getting something like myself."

The kimono girl chuckled softly, but there was no smile in her eyes.

"I should have maintained that state and existed without knowing anything about the outside world, but they awakened me. Then, the outside world was pushed into my eyes... Because it was too troublesome, I decided to push everything to "shiki."

“…Why do you do this?”

Because there was no way to distance him, Mu Xiu could only try to turn his head and try to avoid the girl's touch, and searched hard in his chaotic mind, trying to find the best choice to cope with the current situation from his past life experience.

If possible, he also wants to express his opinions in a simple and straightforward way.

But at this moment, he had no way to launch an attack. To be precise, he could not even have the idea of ​​launching an attack. It seemed that a series of related concepts had been deleted from himself.

"Isn't this a matter of course? Because what happens in the outside world is something boring at first sight." The kimono girl smiled suddenly.

"But, you already have your own self..."

Mu Xiu didn't know why, but suddenly felt that she was very pitiful and couldn't help but sigh, he vaguely understood something. However, during this period, he continued to try to retreat or move to both sides, trying to distance himself from the other party.

“…”

“…”

"Yes...but, what's the point? It only makes me feel very tired, no different from dreaming."

Stop and stand less than one meter before Mu Xiushen. The "two rituals" nodded slowly. He seemed to be telling the sad feelings no one could understand.

"So, I didn't see anything, I thought about anything, and had a dream that I didn't even have. It was painful, boring and meaningless, so I closed my eyes...but everything continued, no different from before."

Speaking of this, she turned slightly and looked at the distant night: "What a boring reality, how boring - me."

“…”

“…”

"Then why are you coming to me?" Mu Xiu asked uncertainly as if he had remembered something.

"Because I realized your existence, then, Shi and I had a different dream... it was not the boring dream that I used to be."

As he said that, the girl in kimono turned her eyes and smiled softly.

It was as if she was contemptuous of herself, and she said it was really stupid.

"Shiki" said she hates being alone, but there is no way to do it... It would be great if she could keep falling asleep. She didn't even do anything, and kept going like that. It would be best if she didn't notice the end of the dream until some time, when the body decayed and disappeared."

After pausing, she looked at the person in front of her again with an envious look: "——But before that, I was awakened and endowed with intellectuality and personality."

"..." Mu Xiu was almost certain. The other party seemed to be not here to make things difficult for him, but he definitely did not just tell him.

"Of course I'm not here to make things difficult for you, just like I won't intervene in action and weaving choices, and the same is true for you." The "Two Rituals" said in a harmonious voice, "Because such things are worthless to me."

She raised her hand again, trying to touch Mu Xiu's face: "Although it's a bit regretful, there's not much time left. I'll ask you a question, and I came here for this - tell me, what is your wish?"

“…”

“…”

This sudden turn left Mu Xiu with nothing to say for a moment. While he leaned back and kept a distance, he wanted to see as clearly as possible about the other person's expression and expression.

The girl who reached out her hand had transparent pupils and endless depth inside. However, she could see that the pupils deep in her heart lacked human nature, which seemed to make people feel like they were facing the real god.

She sighed and said, "Why should I be silent? I actually don't mind who you are, even if it is another person who has the origin of "non-nothingness" created using the intelligence of weaving. Now you are just one of the two qualities of my Tai Chi, and my rights belong to you."

——She is indeed God.

"What are you trying to get? Tell me your wish and I can do anything. No matter how terrifying the wish is, you can achieve it directly as long as you wish."

Uncontrollable, Mu Xiu suddenly felt his heart beating in his chest, and even his breathing was subconsciously held.

Excited? Or are you afraid of something?

Because Mu Xiu had a feeling that what the girl said was true, she could really do anything without any restrictions. In other words, she seemed to be holding an unimaginable opportunity to realize an irresistible wish, the only one that could limit herself...

Maybe it's only my own imagination?

The look of his head tilting his head and thinking was strange, which made her laugh.

However, one minute, two minutes, five minutes, ten minutes, half an hour... Perhaps it was such a long time for a century, Mu Xiu still did not make a decision. And it was not just silent, but his eyes became clearer and clearer.

So the girl stopped laughing. She looked away like a butterfly avoiding the sunlight, and put down her fingers in a more gentle movement than the snow that was falling.

She gradually realized the difference between herself and him, and she had an impossible despair.

In the end, Mu Xiu seemed to be confirming something, and asked carefully: "Well, if I make a wish and say that I want more things like this... will such things be allowed?"

"Yes, even so." She closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief, but for some reason it sounded very regretful, but seemed to have a sense of reassurance.

"Is that true... Then I don't want anything." Mu Xiu nodded, and then expressed his wish.

"Why? Do you want nothing?" The kimono girl was silent, but was not surprised. She asked softly after a while, her voice was empty and cold.

"No, I want too many things, but... I always feel that I shouldn't ask you for it in this way." Mu Xiu shook his head and said. After finally making a decision, he seemed to feel relaxed.

It’s not that I have no desires or demands, nor that I don’t believe her.

"That's right, that's right...it's time to say goodbye, maybe there's a chance to see you again."

"Two Rituals" turned their eyes away from him, and she stared blankly at the darkness and the end of the night in the distance, as if she was watching something important and could never see again.

Mu Xiu couldn't help biting his lips, for fear that he would blurt out and change his mind, so he ended up saying hesitantly: "... Should I be sorry?"

He didn't understand why he wanted to apologize, but he always felt... he seemed to have made a very cruel choice.

"It's not your business, I have thoughts I shouldn't have," she whispered.

"After all, if you can do something for someone, it will be related to the outside world... But what do you don't want to get from me... As expected, everything is so meaningless and futile, it's time to end."

Mu Xiu couldn't say anything, but just stared at her side face.

The kimono girl raised her head and stared at the crystal clearness falling from the sky. She didn't speak to anyone, but her words leaked from her lips in a low voice.

"Living for granted, and dying for granted."

Ah, that's really-

"How lonely—"
