Chapter 571 Goodbye, Identify Treasures.

"What should I say? That old antique has left. Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. Sit up and let's have a good chat. ₆₉ₛₕᵤₓ.cₒₘ"

As he said this, Mikael sat down next to the Herrscher of Knowledge with a smile.

The great Herrscher of Knowledge was still lying upright on the ground. When she saw Mikael approaching, she turned over to the other side.

"What? Do you plan to sleep here forever? Of course it's not impossible, but this place is not very good. Although it is a consciousness space, the ground is cold and hard, and there are pebbles everywhere. I don't want to Change place?"

Of course, Mikael's pretended gentle words failed to affect the Herrscher of Knowledge.

An hour ago, she might have been quite excited.

But who made her just experience Mikael's "betrayal".

It is undeniable that Mikael's voice is indeed very nice, especially when accompanied by a soft voice. The sound enveloped the whole body like warm water. This was an unprecedented experience, but the Herrscher of Knowledge did not accept this trick. All the tenderness that Mikael showed would only be evaluated with ulterior motives in her eyes at this moment.

Besides, she is not an obedient puppy. Even if she is kicked by her owner, as long as the owner brings something delicious, adds a soothing voice, gently rubs the top of her head with her hands, and scratches her chin and belly. , a puppy that can wipe out all the harm in the past.

But it's unrealistic to turn around and bite him. He's not even as good as that old antique he calls a waste. How can he still have the confidence to face this man?

Before he could fully figure it out, the Herrscher of Knowledge suddenly felt a surge of energy all over his body. His body rolled like a flying fish and jumped up from the ground, and then bit Mikael's claw.

"Hey! It hurts, please let go!"

Mikael raised his other hand, raised his index finger inexplicably, and reminded her in a low voice.

Although he was shouting that it hurt, Mikael once again showed that annoying smile, and even his eyes narrowed into two corners.

"Who asked you to touch my head? Did you just touch it if I agreed?"

The words were muffled, because the Herrscher of Knowledge did not let go, but instead bit his teeth tighter, and even grinned viciously, revealing the tiger teeth embedded in his flesh.

But then she realized that such behavior seemed to make her look like a puppy, and the words she blurted out also contained some ambiguity... In order to prevent being misunderstood, she reluctantly let go of her mouth and quickly wiped it with the back of her hand. Wiped his mouth, then glared at Mikael and added:

"No matter what, you can't touch my head! Do you know that if you touch someone's head outside, you will be beaten?"

"Feel sorry."

Mikael's expression seemed really sincere.

"Maybe I'm used to it before. Hua never rejects it, so... I'm sorry."

"snort."

The Herrscher of Knowledge turned over again, but after lying down for only a short while, he probably felt uncomfortable, so he could only sit up again.

But when she turned her head, what she saw in front of her was so shocking that she held her face in her hands, wishing she could take off the whole head.

"You, you... why are you licking your hands! You are sick! You are a pervert!"

"ah?"

Mikael's eyes were both clear and stupid. He stretched out the bitten hand in front of the Herrscher of Knowledge somewhat innocently, and pointed at the tooth mark that was bleeding out.

"Who made your bite bleed? Just use saliva to disinfect it."

"Ahhh, I can't stand it anymore! This is the space of consciousness! You didn't bleed at all... No! How could you not know this... You just want to lick it, don't you! Stay away from me, pervert!"

"Don't be like this, don't be like this... I still have something to say... It's not too late for you to wait until I finish talking before leaving..."

Realizing that the Herrscher of Knowledge might really leave the consciousness space directly in shame and anger, Mikael had no choice but to smile like a child again.

"It's not a good decision to go out now. This body has been controlled by Hua's consciousness again. Since you have the power of consciousness, you can of course exist even if you leave this world, but that way is somewhat like a 'lonely soul' Wild ghost'. Moreover, if you appear alone without me explaining, they will just treat you as an enemy. "

"Then what do you mean, you want me to stay in this small world for the rest of my life?"

The Lawyer of Knowledge showed an indignant look, but soon died down.

"Forget it, I lost after all. What you said is right. I am not Hua. I am just a Herrscher. The Herrscher of Consciousness is the enemy of your civilization and a ruined creation. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, hurry up. I don’t want to listen to what you, the guy who deceived my feelings, have to say, not to mention preaching. Of course, if you regard preaching as torture to me, then I don’t mind another fight. ”

"Forget it...you have been in so many fights this day. You must be very tired, both physically and..."

"I want you to take care of it!"

The Herrscher of Knowledge turned around quickly and stared at Mikael with his blood-red eyes. But this appearance was no longer as scary as it was at the beginning, and his eyes were a little sour. After blinking and blinking, his vision soon became blurry and out of control.

"I'm warning you! Don't use that coaxing tone again! I'm not a child! And... what on earth do you want to say? Just say it!"

"Didn't you just tell me not to say anything..."

"I'm so annoyed. Are you going to say anything?"

In anger, the Herrscher of Knowledge once again awkwardly pointed his head at Mikael.

But in a sense, this was what Mikael wanted.

He would also tell others many things for the first time. This was different from fighting or cruelly pushing forward the plan. It was not enough to just have determination.

Trust and a certain sense of distance were also needed.

Moreover, what he was doing now was perhaps the only thing he had to do in the past 50,000 years even without that plan.

The other thing was preventing the killing of the master from happening 500 years ago.

"You heard the conversation between Hua and I before. My purpose of coming here is very simple, I just want her to live, but you are the same."

"..."

"I have read the memories between you and Hua in the past few days. In fact, you have misunderstood Hua a little bit before. With her personality, the reason why she reminded you of your identity as a Herrscher is not to reject you. If possible, she might really hope that you can continue to live on her behalf as a more powerful Chi Yuan, and complete her mission on her behalf. However, before that, you must accept your identity as a Herrscher first, otherwise it will be difficult to do it later. Who knew that you would get excited and seal her before she finished speaking."

"Ah... Is that so... No, you are not that old antique, how do you know what she is thinking?"

"It's a reasonable inference."

Mikael stood up with his knees propped up and walked towards the cliff beside him.

"Hey! What are you going to do, pervert?"

"First, I'm just sitting in a different position. Second, can you please not call me a pervert?"

Mikael sat on the edge of the cliff, untied his hairband, and the wind blowing through the valley gave his shoulder-length hair freedom.

"Think about it, I had already untied the restraint you had imposed on that feather, but Hua didn't reappear until I was about to be killed by your Taixu Sword Qi and Charm. As for why she stood in front of me in that situation, according to her previous position, she should have watched me being killed... It should be an instinct.

"Just like the body has muscle memory, the consciousness also has patterns and inertia. I was just betting that her consciousness still has the pattern of recognizing me as a comrade, and I bet right. But why didn't she want to come out before? There seems to be only one explanation-she really wanted to entrust her future to you. "

"Ahhh! Why are you all like this? Will you die if you make it clear?"

"Hehehehe. ”

Even though his eyes could only reach Mikael's back, the Herrscher of Knowledge could still feel the subtlety in that laughter.

"For humans, it is extremely difficult to make things clear. As long as you are willing to make things clear, perhaps half of the contradictions in this world can be resolved."

"Then why didn't the old antique say anything, and you, a dead pervert, knew it so clearly?"

This question seemed to have been asked before, but Ms. Herrscher of Knowledge didn't care about these details. Anyway, she didn't get the answer she wanted. What's wrong with asking it again?

"This... Because she is Hua, and I happen to know Hua, that's it, that's it. That's it."

"..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge was silent, but what followed was not anger, but a sense of stability that combined relief and peace. She immediately stood up and walked towards the cliff not far away, as if she wanted to sit next to Mikael.

"Is that so... The memory of you and her is missing to me. I don't really understand the relationship between you two... That's why you felt that there was a new person in this body from the beginning, right? Everything was just a prelude to this point."

"Actually... not really."

"Huh?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge had just walked behind Mikael and almost kicked him down in excitement.

"Many of the previous words were indeed acting. I have been acting since you first met me, but there is one sentence that is true, at least that sentence is true.

"Which one?"

"The one my father said."

The Herrscher of Knowledge: _? ,Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Mikael: (￣ε( # ￣)

I got punched in the face for no apparent reason... well, not so surprising.

Mikael rubbed his face while handing a feather to the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"What is this... why is there another feather?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge hesitated for a moment, but still did not take the feather rashly.

Mikael still explained slowly:

"This is the memory that Hua Ji left with Ling Shuang five hundred years ago."

"Could it be..."

Thinking of what he had said not long ago, the Herrscher of Knowledge widened his eyes and thought of a possibility.

"I know what you want to say, yes, but not completely. This contains all her memories of me from 50,000 years ago. But it does not include the part from when I awakened her in the new era to 500 years ago. That part was probably taken with her when she finally transferred her consciousness."

It would have been better if she didn't explain. After the explanation, the Herrscher of Consciousness really didn't know whether he should touch this "memory" for a while.

Looking at the Herrscher of Consciousness's hesitation, Mikael did not urge him, but just said something that the Herrscher of Consciousness felt familiar with:

"If you want to know the truth, you have to bear the pain of knowing the truth. Herrscher of Knowledge, do you want to know the truth? Do you have the courage to know the truth? Or, because this is her memory, you are here After trying to be her became impossible, you began to unconsciously fear everything related to her, especially the memory of her past that made you mistakenly think that you were her."

The Herrscher of Knowledge held his breath unconsciously, but within two seconds, he let it out again. He just tilted his head and scratched his head with his hands and said:

"You're such a pervert, not only do you know that old antique, but you also... know something about me?"

Suddenly, her cheeks turned red and she quickly turned her head away.

"Ahem! Who... who is scared? You pervert, don't talk nonsense! Be careful, I will sue you for slander!"

"Who should I report to? Xiang Hua?"

Mikael's voice sounded like he was trying not to laugh, but he soon stopped laughing.

As a father, his daughter repeatedly calls him a pervert, but he still can't correct himself. It's strange that he can laugh out loud.

"What am I doing with her? I... eh?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge's IQ inadvertently increased again, so that he finally connected all the clues together——

"You said you are my father? Then Ling Shuang called you Mistress. In other words, that old antique is me..."

"Want to know what's going on?"

In an instant, the remaining anger, unwillingness, and the shame and anger that had been lingering for a long time were all forgotten, and the temptation to eat melon completely overwhelmed them all.

Mikael held the feather in his hand, leaving only a little bit at the end, and handed it to the Herrscher of Knowledge:

"You don't have to read it all, just read this last part."

The Herrscher of Knowledge's expression became hesitant again, but soon she stretched out her index finger and lightly touched the feather.

For a moment, my thoughts were pulled far away, and my consciousness seemed to be put into a kaleidoscope. The fragments of memory rotated along the kaleidoscope, pieced together bit by bit, to show the last struggle of mankind in that era from Huawei's first-person perspective. in front of her.

The timeline of memory is not too long. Under the protection of the power of consciousness, her reading is extremely smooth and fast, and she has no intention of continuing to read forward.

In just the blink of an eye, the Herrscher of Knowledge jumped up from the ground and quickly staggered back two steps. As the Herrscher of Consciousness, her spirit is not so fragile at all, especially since her birth was based on a memory that lasted for fifty thousand years.

But sometimes transmitting explosive information does not require a large amount of storage. The Herrscher of Knowledge didn't know for a while whether it was because she failed to escape from the memory smoothly, or because she was really frightened by the information. Her retreat did not She did not stop because she stood firm, but continued to move backwards until there was a distance between her and Mikael that she thought was safe, but also knew that it was just a distance.

"You are... no, how could you be... how could you be the end?"

"Is it surprising?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge covered his head hard to hide the changing expression on his face.

"No...thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem too surprising."

Mikael shook his head indifferently, stood up again from the edge of the cliff, and then took a step towards the Herrscher of Knowledge.

"You, you, you...don't come here yet...ah, no, I surrender!"

"puff!"

Mikael looked at the girl with her hands raised in front of him dumbfounded. For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise her for being smart or for her knowledge of current affairs, or call her an idiot.

Obviously, the reason why he surrendered so decisively was simply because the great Herrscher of Knowledge remembered an agreement she had made with him - "The two of us will fight Honkai together!"

After learning the truth, and with the help of translation, this sentence became - "Mikael, let us go and kill Mikael together!"

"Now you can understand. Each of you Herrschers received power from me, just like my flesh and blood. So each of you is my child. And you got it from Hua body in this world, so she can also be counted as your mother."

"Ahhh! So this is all a bloody family ethics drama?"

"Uh...it can't be classified so simply, right?"

Mikael smiled bitterly.

"That's not right! Since you are the end, shouldn't you urge me to work...Why...you said...you want both Old Antique and me to survive?"

Until this moment, Mikael finally showed a bewitching smile:

"Want to know? The memory in this feather can answer this question. Do you want to see it?"

The Lawyer of Knowledge shook his head decisively.

"Tsk!"

Mikael smacked his lips with regret and changed the topic in a blink of an eye:

"While you could certainly say I created it, initially I didn't realize we would have that much in common."

"What else do you and I have in common?"

The Lawyer of Knowledge pouted, and suddenly snapped his fingers cheerfully:

"In other words, I can also become the Herrscher of the End?"

"...Your focus is a bit strange."

This time the person holding his forehead was Mikael.

"Ah! The tone of your words just now sounded like an antique!"

"Well!"

Mikael was stunned for a moment and quickly shook his head.

"What I mean by similarity is... it's a similarity in experience. Herrscher of Consciousness, you may not understand now. Living as a 'Herrscher of Consciousness' instead of as a 'Hua' means a lot to you. A good thing."

After confirming that Mikael would not launch a sudden attack, the Herrscher of Knowledge's movements became casual again. She crossed her hands across her chest, raised her chin and silently waited for Mikael's follow-up.

"Actually, just like you, I am not myself."

"ha?"

"Fifty thousand years ago, when I finally arrived in front of the end, what I saw was myself."

"What are you talking about? Did I hear wrongly?"

"No, you heard that right."

Mikael looked firmly at the Herrscher of Knowledge. It hadn't been like this for a long time, because what he was saying was finally no longer a lie.

"Like you, I am just a man-made thing. The predecessor finally created me for a certain purpose. Until the end, he revealed it all to me, and even at the end, he even gave up all his memories in a unnecessary way. The final memory lasts for tens of billions and fifty thousand years, and it belongs to Mikael. The memory of a name is only 50,000 years, and if we look at the time at that time, the memory of the name Mikael is only a short period of twenty-two years, no, twelve years... Phew... Hua, ah no, Herrscher of Knowledge, who am I? The End that has destroyed countless civilizations, or Mikael?"

"Well……"

"Even so, I am still Mikael, and then I am the Herrscher of the End."

Until he said these words, there was finally some light in Mikael's eyes.

"I'm very lucky that I first lived through the twelve years of my life named Mikael, and then I got the memories of tens of billions and fifty thousand years. Maybe I will also be affected by that long memory. A little bit, but at that time, my most basic personality was already perfect, but you are different, the Herrscher of Consciousness, you have been nothing more than that since your birth. In three days, you first obtained Hua's memory and then began your life as the Herrscher of Consciousness. Your starting point was infinitely close to Hua's, but as time went by, you gained your own and not Hua's. Memory, you will no longer be her, you will become yourself. If you really become Hua, it will limit your future."

"...Ahhh! Of course I understand these truths! It makes my head spin!"

"Do you understand? In fact... it's okay for you to just think that I'm talking to myself and going crazy."

Mikael smiled easily, but the Herrscher of Knowledge could not.

She turned her head away again, leaving only a slightly disdainful profile, but after a pause, her voice was no longer sharp and aggressive.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I really understand. I will no longer think about becoming an old antique. I will try to be myself in the next time - although I still don't understand how you will end up. Why don’t you urge me to destroy the world, but that’s what you want me to do anyway, right?”

"yes."

"Ahem! Just right! In fact, I had this idea when I knew I was not that old antique. You don't need to remind me!"

"real?"

Before the Herrscher of Knowledge could answer, Mikael's smile widened again.

"There is no need to completely deny Hua. Didn't you feel contradictory before? You obviously said that Hua was a loser, but you were still determined to be her..."

"You understand again? What do you want to say again?"

As expected, the Herrscher of Knowledge got furious again, but just when he was a little angry, he was pushed back by Mikael's words that couldn't be more true.

"Because you also feel from the bottom of your heart that everything that the man named Hua went through is actually... very cool."

After saying this, Mikael laughed by himself, leaving the Herrscher of Consciousness in a daze, neither shaking his head nor nodding.

"Ah! You are so annoying! Can you stop saying everything so clearly!"

"But you asked me to make it clear."

Mikael spread his hands innocently, and when the Herrscher of Knowledge thought about it, it was true.

"Hahaha!"

Suddenly, Mikael walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently.

"Try to be yourself, but you don't have to completely deny her influence. It's not bad to use her as a benchmark..."

"Who wants to set her as a benchmark? Have you finished speaking? Send me out immediately after finishing speaking! I can't hold it in any longer!"

"Um……"

At this time, Mikael's every move became slow again, which made the Herrscher of Knowledge anxious.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm just thinking that it's not convenient for me to keep calling you the Lawyer of Consciousness, the Lawyer of Consciousness. As your father, how about giving you a name - just Xiaoshi?"

"Huh? Do you have the ability to shout again?"

Ignoring the dangerous expression on the Herrscher of Knowledge, Mikael raised his chin and said to himself:

"No, Xiaoshi is like a title that everyone can call. It's not intimate enough. Let me think about it - how about Zhibao?"

"..."

The Herrscher of Knowledge sighed heavily.

She knew that even protesting would be useless, and if she resisted... she probably wouldn't be able to defeat him.

Why don't we meet each other in the future? As long as we don't meet, we won't be called this name.

As the saying goes, if you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to hide.

Suddenly, Mikael's laughter stopped for a moment, and his eyes became empty, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Okay, I've told Hua everything. Next, you can become a 'human' as her daughter and the Herrscher of Knowledge, and live the way you want."

"No... what's the 'daughter'?"

Mikael blinked mischievously, but did not respond. Instead, he said very quickly:

"Okay, I still have to deal with the other two idiots, and I have to catch up with them. Just... hehe, can you do me one last favor?"

Looking at Mikael's rare sincere eyes, the Herrscher of Knowledge was a little unhappy, but nodded very quickly.

So, Mikael took out the feather again:

"This feather will be given to you for safekeeping. As for whether to give it to Hua, it's up to you to decide."

"Huh? I don't want to! Why should I clean up your mess?"

"You are just keeping it for me! Lingshuang has also kept it for five hundred years. You are not even as good as Lingshuang, right?"

The Herrscher of Knowledge was about to withdraw her hand, but it suddenly stopped. In a flash, the feather was snatched away by her.

"Hmph, I'm not worse than that white-haired face paralysis... Wait... This... Mikael! Are you sick? What did you do?"

Before she finished her words, suddenly, the feather completely merged into her body like a conscious insect, and when she was angry and shocked and wanted to find Mikael to argue, the man's figure had disappeared.

But she didn't want to pursue the blame, and didn't want to care about the rest - the memory in the feather suddenly surged out and swallowed her in an instant.

In the end, only one sentence echoed in her ears:

"Thank you for your trouble, so she will never see it again. Goodbye, Shibao."
