Let me live [Quick Transmigration]

----

"You... once had a human body, right?"

Before Lu You could think of a suitable answer, Monster said "wait a moment".He got up again, walked to the desk, opened the drawer and searched for a while, and took out a small thing that looked like a mobile phone USB flash drive.

Lu You retracted the sensory "tentacles" distributed near the data interface in time, avoiding any strange feeling when he connected the device. Monster adjusted the phone by recording and playing music, and finally wiped the screen with his fingertips, pushed lightly on the edge of the metal frame, and said: "Okay, try it—can you talk now? ?”

Something seems to be changing in the slow-flowing data. "Hmm..." Lu You heard a small voice coming from the speaker, with an obvious texture of electronic synthesis, and the timbre was also different from his original voice, "It's ok... What are you pretending to be?" He couldn't help asking.

"The gadgets I made before are used to convert data formats..." Monster replied casually. He fell backwards on the bed while holding the phone, then turned over and turned into a prone position, "I answered your question You haven't answered my question yet." He placed the camera directly in front of his eyes, propped his chin with one hand, and poked the screen with the other carelessly, "Did you become a ghost after you died? Sick or After the injury, the consciousness left the body? It was originally a multiple personality, and you were pushed out after the other personalities in the same body became stronger? Or is there some reason I can't guess?"

Lu You was a little hesitant about how to answer.Although he really wants to seek help on the road to the underworld, and the Monster who has all the memories will naturally know it at that time, but if you tell him directly...not to mention it, you have to repeat it to the underworld, with this guy's willful personality God knows what he will do with the blank period before he wakes up from the road to the underworld.

What if he hides his phone, cuts off contact, and makes this part of the information a secret that only he knows?

What if he was displeased with Tao Lin who occupied the body, and while trying to cause harm to the soul in the body, caused that body to be damaged or even died?

Or it is also possible, in order to control that body in advance, so as to do things like kidnapping...

Only from Monster's actions to prevent the bartender from touching the parts, Lu You is not enough to judge whether this guy likes to bully him, wants to protect him, or simply treats him as his own selfishness.What if Monster gets a perverted possessive desire to destroy it simply after learning that there are other souls in that body... Even if the mission fails, he can still read the file and restart, and the information he has already obtained will make him The next start will be much easier, and the one hundred points consumed by death are enough for him to feel distressed.

Can't tell Monster the truth now...at least, not all of it.

The guess of "personality exclusion" is closer to the truth, so Lu You decided to choose this. "You almost guessed it." He said vaguely, trying to adapt to the slightly weird unfamiliar voice coming from the speaker, "There is one that came from nowhere..." In the middle of speaking, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind, and he thought of a Possibly a workable plan.After a short pause to collect his thoughts, he continued: "A strange new personality. After it appeared, it replaced the original master who controlled the body, and then drove me out...I don't know how I got into it later. In the game, why is it attached to your mobile phone now." The last sentence is indeed true.

"New personality?" Monster muttered, showing a thoughtful expression, but said after a while: "It's not quite right..."

The rebuttal came unexpectedly early, Lu You didn't know what went wrong, and his heart arose. Monster tapped the screen with his fingertips, and what he said next showed that he didn't suspect that Lu You was lying to him, "The guess about personality was just my random guess... Did you see that I and Hades have different roles in the game? , I think it’s normal to be able to act separately? In fact, there was only Hades in the game at the beginning, and my character was created with the magic scroll ‘projection’ obtained from the mission.” He pondered for a while, and then said: “Split personality ...It's just a split on the outside, but it still belongs to a whole in essence. If you are indeed not affected by external forces, you will be separated as an independent individual..."

Monster looked down at him and smiled unreasonably. "I tell you some unfortunate news." His expression seemed to be gloating, but his tone was cold and low, "The thing in your body now...maybe it's not a new personality, but an alien invader. "

Lu You didn't speak for a while.He was thinking that he might have underestimated Monster because of his previous performance... Even if he got misleading information, he was still so close to the truth so quickly.

However, this did not exceed his plan, it just advanced the part of the disclosure. After correcting this one mistake, Monster no longer doubted the other parts, and naturally followed the train of thought led by Lu You. "The original protagonist... your 'brother'," he smiled again, probably thinking of his relationship with Hades, and there was a hint of irony in his smile, "I am afraid that he has been affected by that thing and died It's..."

"Why don't you speak? Are you sad? Or are you unwilling?" His fingertips stroked the screen with gentle strength, "It was hard to monopolize the complete soul, but the body was snatched away..." Without a tail, There are no corners, and the demon hiding in the human body approached as if planning to do evil in secret, "It's so pitiful, why don't you let me help you avenge?" He lowered his voice and whispered, "Find him, catch him, Torturing him... making life the most painful thing, who told him to touch something that shouldn't be touched..."

There was anticipation in Monster's voice.Sadism itself is expected as punishment.Lu You was just silent, without saying a word, he could feel the breath of Monster brushing gently, warming the originally cold metal and glass.After waiting in silence for a few seconds, Monster put away his smile and backed away from the too close pose.

"Tell me," he ordered.

He looked dangerous when he laughed...and even more so when he wasn't smiling.The deep pupils, nearly half covered by the drooping eyelashes, burn with a pitch-black flame that has no temperature and only knows how to devour.

"Are you going to use my body as a cage for confining prisoners?" Lu You asked quietly, "And you... want to be the master of this cell?"

Monster didn't answer.At this moment, there was a subtle smile in his eyes again, and he didn't know whether he was expressing approval or ridicule. "I still want to go back." Lu You whispered again, "Even if you drive away the intruders, I don't want to live in a cage."

"Then don't go back—stay with us." Monster laughed again, distorting the point of the question, "You will be welcome in Hades, too." , sticking to it intimately, "shift freely among multiple peripherals, try to get used to the freedom that belongs to ghosts, like me..." he said pointedly, "you will find that this world has become Much more interesting."

Lu You didn't quite understand what he meant, but felt that his tone sounded like coaxing.He hesitated to make another point. "I have a family," he finally said.

"Well," Monster asked indifferently, "what if there is no more?"

Lu You stopped talking.He has come to regret revealing too much information. Monster seemed to be reminding him with startling indifference that he was as real as his name was.

"If Hades is here," Monster asked suddenly, "would you tell him?"

Lu You did not answer this question.

Monster smiled, the curve of the corners of his lips was so subtle that it was almost invisible.With a slight movement of his fingertips, he touched the buttons on the side of the phone.

"You are afraid of me, you don't trust me...but you want to ask him for help." He said softly, "You seem to always forget one thing: our essence is the same. Our preferences and desires are also the same. We The same yearning for extremes... The different things you thought you could get from him are actually just the result of disguising and suppressing yourself."

——However, isn’t it the difference between a “man” and a “monster” whether he can voluntarily suppress himself and find a way to obtain satisfaction other than indulgent nature?

Lu You still didn't say this.He didn't have time to speak anymore. When the ending of Monster's words fell, his fingertips pressed down lightly.A few seconds later, the phone screen, displaying a blank memo, went dark.All the data flowing in the electronic chip and the programs running like a living body all fell silently into a deep sleep as the system shut down.

Monster rolled over and sat up, staring at the lifeless artificial artifact on his palm.The screen of the mobile phone was pitch black, and there was no longer any image displayed, and the sound that used to flow the air was also quiet.He kept this posture and sat quietly. At first, he kept his face expressionless. After a while, he raised his hand and pressed it to his face, as if to prevent a certain layer of hard shell from cracking and collapsing, then he clenched his teeth fiercely.

"I don't need it..." He whispered, leaving the phone in the middle of the bed, got out of bed, and walked to the desk again.

This time, what he dug out from the deep drawer was a somewhat worn-out box with tape wrapped around it.

He seems to have a hobby of assembling instruments that is different from the road to the underworld. He put together the scattered parts in the box to form a strange looking tool similar to glasses: wires are messily entangled on the frame, and the assembled parts The edges are uneven, like shells growing on the reef. At first glance, it is clear that it is a product that only pursues function and never considers appearance.

"It's been too long since I started it last time, I don't know if I can still use it..." He said to himself, "How could I have thought of making this kind of thing before?" He thought for a while, "Oh, It seems to want to see if 'I' is an independent 'soul'..."

After paying a heavy price and getting a negative answer, he dismantled and sealed up the tool that he had spent so much time making.He never thought that one day he would use it again.After changing the power supply, his movements paused, thinking of the phrase "don't cross the line" that he was reminded in the bar a few hours ago... Then he raised his hand and blocked the strange-looking "glasses" in front of his sight .

The field of vision became brighter, and the edges of the furniture, which were originally clear and straight lines, undulated indistinctly, as if looking through the air that had become uneven due to heat under the scorching sun.Having achieved this step, he suddenly hesitated, his eyes wandered around the floor and the foot of the bed for a long time, and then slowly began to move up.

Sleeping, translucent silhouettes on his bed...

He saw "he".

The man with jet-black hair and eyes stood motionless beside the bed.After a long time, he slowly bent down and stretched out his hand, wanting to try to touch it.In the visual scene, his fingertips touched the fingers gently held by the sleeping person, as if he was trying to grasp something in a dream, but the actual feeling was just the cold fabric of the bed sheet.

He maintained this position for a few seconds, then he closed his eyes suddenly, and his body shook as if he lost his balance.He tore off the pair of "glasses" and threw them aside, then slowly knelt down, resting his forehead against the edge of the bed.The world around me seems to be spinning, tearing apart, breaking into countless fragments and intermittent streams.He waited for the severe pain he had experienced once to run over his body again, but after a few seconds, he heard a low sigh that seemed like surprise and regret.

"Not bad." The voice said, "I really underestimated you."

The half-kneeling man suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head.The part that was originally the white of the eye has turned black like the pupil, and fine lines appear on the skin, as if the surface of glass cracked under heavy pressure.Behind him, where there should be no one, stood a figure covered in white.

"Shouldn't it be said that it is 'divine'?" The figure spoke slowly, standing as if he was not feeling any strength, and seemed to be falling asleep in the next second, "although there is also a special reason for this world itself... ...However, under the circumstances that almost all of the power has to be accumulated to prepare for the next time to cross the barrier, it is still possible to see this level of 'reality'..."

While talking, Shiro Shadow stepped back lightly, avoiding a pitch-black crack that opened where he was originally standing.The crack appeared in mid-air, existing out of thin air, and the dusk-like dim light was revealed inside, against the still intact scene in the room, as if a movie curtain had been cut with a hole.

"However," the languid voice paused, "It's too reckless, and you just come out like this when you're irritated... It's okay for you to torment yourself, but I'll be in trouble if you get him involved. Sigh... I still don't like it Deal with God." He sighed softly, raised his hands, his white hair with a little transparent texture was blown up by the air current, and the faint light came out from his body, "Let's just help you once .”

The world stopped shaking and collapsing.The cracks stopped growing and then began to heal.In an instant, everything returned to calm.

The white figure disappeared.

The man slowly stood up from the floor, his expression was confused for a moment, but in a blink of an eye, he put the feeling of forgetting something behind him and looked at the empty bed.Without the help of additional tools, what I see at this moment is just a mobile phone on the bed sheet.

"I see..." he whispered.

Five minutes later, the man who had changed his clothes to go out opened the door.He left the turned off mobile phone in the room and did not take it away, and went out alone in the dark night.
