I, the only superpower on earth.

Chapter 204 What is "I"?
"'Fate phylactery'?"

After hearing Lin Heng's narration, Navali pondered for a while.

"So that's how it is... The way to use this ability is indeed an angle that ordinary people can hardly imagine.

"However—there should be restrictions and costs for such a way of using it. I am also a transcendent, and I know that ability has its limit."

Navalli's question came from the loudspeaker in a monotonous mechanical tone.

Lin Heng nodded slightly.

"...Yes. You guessed right.

“When I had this idea, I started experimenting privately.

"——In the beginning, when I was in the Qingjiang Provincial Hotel. I used the container to preserve a few drops of my blood. But the moment I dropped the few drops of blood into the container, when I wanted to keep them alive For a moment, I suddenly had a strange feeling. The few drops of blood falling into the container, even in the air, were still as bright red as in the blood vessels, and were not oxidized by the air.

"—So, I immediately understood that my vision might indeed come true.

"However, as I started to step out, away from the container of my own blood, the strange feeling became weaker and weaker until it disappeared. And when it disappeared, even if I turned back, Even if I went back to the container, beside those few drops of blood, the strange feeling that they had established in my heart could not be re-established, and the original activity also disappeared.

"...then I understood that a 'phylactery' could be made, but there were limitations."

"distance?"

Navalli answered before Lin Heng spoke.

"Yes."

Lin Heng replied, but shook his head.

"—but not only that. Later, through some experiments, I found that the active connection I can form with the separated part of myself, its existence and disconnection are related to two factors: distance, and size.

"Those cell aggregates that are separated from my body, the more body cells that belong to me exist in them, the stronger the active connection they can establish with myself, and the farther they can be separated from my body -

"The basic unit of 1 cells that can keep me alive, such as a thousandth drop of blood, will break this connection just a few centimeters away from my body;
“A drop of blood, or a small fragment of skin, can create such an active connection that the two of us are not broken until we are tens of meters apart;

"If it is a piece of flesh and blood that weighs a few hundred grams and is cut out from my body, it can still maintain an active connection with my body even if it is hundreds or thousands of meters away."

Hearing this, Navalli, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted Lin Heng.

"……I see.

"However--I have hacked into the internal system and saw the transcript of the interrogation you left after killing another Transcendent in China, but you didn't mention how to use this ability. It seems..."

"—Yes, I didn't tell this information. Because from the moment I woke up again after Xixi's death, I decided never to trust anyone in the world [-]%."

At this moment, Lin Heng showed an unprecedented side in front of Navalli.

Impulse, passion, justice, anger... All those emotions have disappeared, replaced by a solemnity and indifference as thick as a dark cloud.

"So... when you killed that Transcendent, did you have another hole card?"

"Yes. When I raided from Broken Dragon Mountain and knocked Yang Luo off the high-speed train, I had already stuffed a small piece of flesh into the gap between the train and the track. That way even if I was killed by him at the foot of the mountain Completely killed, the main body was burned to the point where there are not even 1 cells left, and it can be resurrected by relying on that small piece of flesh and blood. But fortunately, I didn't use this card, so my way of deriving this ability didn't work until the end. exposed."

Navali aimed at Lin Heng through the red dot of the camera, as if he was seeing him for the first time, even the body on the other side of the ocean showed some surprise in his eyes.

"...and so I understand completely.

"...However, there is another point that I don't understand—although you can use the flesh and blood separated from the main body to create this kind of mechanism similar to the 'phylactery', but the overwhelming 'flesh and blood creep' like this is another Where did it come from?"

Lin Heng twitched the corner of his mouth with a sarcastic and cold smile.

"Navalli, can you really not guess it? Or... you just want to confirm whether part of my ability is consistent with your assumption?"

"Ah……"

Navalny retorted.

"Even so, isn't this the result you want?

"—You want to save me from those useless temptations, prevent me from causing more and greater attacks on China, and want to achieve a strategic balance with me, so you are here to tell me about your ability characteristics with peace of mind Is it?"

Navari's dry and mechanical voice echoed in the air.

The blanket of flesh and blood squirmed slowly.

Lin Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Okay, it seems that you already understand my intentions - now, it doesn't matter if I say more, anyway, you can guess it.

"...As I said just now, the mechanism of the 'phylactery', as long as more flesh and blood are left outside, a deeper and farther active connection with the main body can be established—since there is such a Principle, then derivation can draw a very important conjecture:
"That is--

"If the flesh and blood I leave in the outside world contains more cells than my so-called 'body', and because I can quickly regenerate even brain cells-so this mass of flesh and blood can even include my brain cells , if it becomes a mass of 'flesh and blood' with a brain, internal organs, nerves, blood and bones that looks exactly like my body... so what?

"So at this moment, a question naturally emerged—my main body...and this mass of separated flesh and blood. Who is the main body and who is the separated one?"

Lin Heng's voice caused the red light of the phase laser generator controlled by Navalli to shift slightly, and his body also slightly closed his eyes.

"'What I am' is a classic question in philosophy. Whether it is Kant, Husserl, Wittgenstein, or Sartre, this is the most important link in their theories...'Existence' The concept is deeply connected with the definition of 'I', if the subjectivity of 'I' does not exist, then the certainty of all existence becomes suspicious."

Lin Heng narrowed his eyes, because it was molded directly from the flesh and blood creep, and even his eyebrows were blood red.

At this moment, his blood-red eyebrows were like two flying knives, suddenly anviled to both sides.

"—I don't care about such illusory philosophical terms and theories. In fact, even the confusion about myself only lasted for a short time. Soon, I gave up this tangled thinking , the form of existence of the 'self' is no longer considered, and the goal becomes clear."

"Oh why?"

Before Navalli's voice completely dissipated, Lin Heng said lightly:
"Because that's when the 'Blood Angels' exploded."
