"I gave a creation named Tavier all the qualities that I thought would give it a soul, and then made it into a god, and put it into all the world lines that came through the door. I hope some world lines A certain human being in can make him feel love and thus have a soul."
Bai Liu raised his eyes slowly, he sighed regretfully:
"But no matter how many world lines it has gone through, it is like a cold statue with a broken mirror on one side, sitting on the throne of the gods and looking down at the human beings who bowed to him, and giving them outer space step by step. things, but they can’t feel the emotions of human beings no matter what.”
"I realized that the method of is not feasible, so I summoned it back from all world lines."
"I asked it." Bai Liu lowered his eyes, raised Tavel's jaw, and softly asked Tavel who was still sleeping, "Why don't you want to become an evil god?"
"Why don't you want to feel love and pain and become a gatekeeper with a soul?"
Bai Liu caressed Tavel's closed eyes with his gloved hand, and his tone became softer: "I got a very interesting answer."
"It looked at me with those pure black eyes and said, it thinks that human beings are just fine, and they don't need the existence of gods and gates."
"In Tavel's eyes, they are in this universe, warming each other up, and love and pain exist intertwined, which is good."
"It doesn't understand why God exists, God wants to guard the gate, God still wants to give human beings those things, God wants to guard the gate, these things do not make the world line better, but make them more painful .”
Bai Liu raised his eyes to look at Bai Liu and smiled: "I told it, it's not that gods have to exist, but that gods already exist. If it's not you, it will be a human being."
"It can't understand, ask me, is it possible that there is no God's world line in this world?"
"I told it and said no."
"To be honest, Tavier disappointed me a bit." Bai Liu backed away slowly, he lightly raised his hand, and the silk thread wrapped around Tavel's body lifted Tavel up like a marionette. "Because no matter how I tell it something, how I teach it to become an evil god, it can't understand it, and it can't do it."
"It has a kind of stupid naivety about human beings."
"I gave it so much divine power, but it stupidly consumed its own power little by little in the process of realizing human wishes."
Bai Liu seemed to look at Tavel who was lifted up by the thread with pity: "I originally thought that Tavel's free giving and gifts would make some human beings love him, but it didn't. He All you get is always more greedy demands."
"No matter how much Tavel, as a god, has paid for human beings, what he takes back from human beings will always be only desires, endless desires."
"I was bored, and after my last bit of patience with the creation that didn't fit my mind was exhausted, I chose to exile him."
"Since humans cannot let you learn [love], then I will let humans make you [pain]."
Bai Liu lowered his eyes, and he loosened the silk thread hanging Tavel in his hand, and Tavel fell into the endless dark universe in an instant.
Then he opened his hand, flung out the silk thread, and hung Tavel up again.
Bai Liu smiled and raised his head to look at Bai Liu on the opposite side of the water pattern wall: "Don't be so nervous, I won't really let go."
"He is the only bargaining chip that I can chat with you face to face. I dare not throw it away at will, otherwise I will find no other way to make you sit down honestly and concentrate on listening to me."
Bai Liu's separation of Tavel is a kind of attitude towards dolls. He is playing with Tavel at will, and he is also playing with Bai Liu.
Bai Liu, who was holding the chair tightly, looked at Bai Liu: "So what did you do to him?"
"I put the [door] part on Tavel's eyes." The silk thread on Bai Liu's hand stretched, and Tavel finally opened his eyes slowly.
Tavel floats in the universe, his eyes are slightly opened, those are a pair of radiant silver-blue eyes, as if reflecting the entire universe on the back, the river of stars is shining brightly, but there is nothing I am grateful, but it reflects everything in the world purely and indifferently, like a piece of well-made glass, reflecting the things behind it completely and hollowly, it is not at all like Scheta looking up and opening his eyes. son.
That look has no emotion, no soul.
"When human beings look into Tavel's eyes, they can see the abyss-like universe on the other side of [the door], in which countless crazy world lines struggle, and desires are refracted from the door to some people. Now, let them fall into the same madness as the other side of the door."
Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu, and he explained briskly: "Soon, they will develop extreme hatred for the gatekeeper who can not only fulfill their wishes, but also restrain them."
"So they will try their best to hurt the carrier of one door, the person with two eyes, until their desire is satisfied."
Bai Liu raised the corner of his mouth: "—until the abyss monsters on the other side of the door passed through the gap in the door on Tavel's eyes and came to the other side of the door through their destruction of Tavel, Become a heresy in the mouths of some humans."
"Those monsters were not caused by Scheta." Bai Liu asked calmly, "It was caused by some people's desires that destroyed the door in Scheta's eyes, allowing the monsters on the other side of the door to pass through the door and reach the other side. But you induced Scheta to make him feel that it was not his fault, and that the people around him also felt that it was not his fault, so that you hated him more and made him suffer more, didn't you?"
"Bingo." Bai Liu laughed, "That's right."
Bai Liu shrugged, and sighed regretfully: "Actually, the matter has developed to a tragic stage, and I personally feel that I also have something that I didn't do well."
"I originally hoped that Tavel would have a soul because of love, so I carved it into a non-aggressive god, but my ultimate goal is to hope that it can kill me, but this kind of character Even if Tavel was tortured to destruction by me, he would not be able to attack me as the creator."
"So I changed my strategy."
Bai Liu smiled: "I cleaned its memory and told it that you were the original evil god and gatekeeper, and [I] was just a greedy human who robbed your god position."
"If you want to maintain the order of the universe and the integrity of the door, you have to kill the most greedy and most eager to destroy your existence in the world, and that is [me]."
"I banished Tavel to the next 658 world lines. At the same time, I sent my derivatives to these world lines. I induced, hinted, and regulated my derivatives. Whisper in their ears—as long as Tavel is completely killed, you can get the most valuable thing in the world."
"I...I am a god of something, so I also know how my creations will be and what they will do—they can't resist. 's temptation."
Bai Liu opened his eyelids, and when he looked directly at Bai Liu, his eyes instantly turned silver-blue:
"—Because they and I are themselves a collection of the greatest desires of the two universes on both sides of the door."
"I thought Tavel would resist me in order to protect the door and maintain truth and order, but it still didn't."
"It's like the countless world lines that were gods in the past. If I slaughter, abuse, or mutilate it with other human beings, I can understand it at that moment. You guys don't realize human desires because of compassion for human beings."
"It is pure innocence and indifference. It has never given human beings or me any serious eyes. Its eyes can't see any existence full of desires like us-even if [I] kills it and takes it away." The enemy of the god position stood behind it in those 657 world lines, it still looked at the book indifferently and seriously, and never looked back."
"Because it feels that books are more meaningful than humans."
"Later, even if [I], as its enemy, tortured it even harder, and even further exiled it into the game, it still has no feelings for me, love, hate, hatred, nothing at all."
"Because it has no desire for me or any other human being."
"It's interesting to say." Bai Liu chuckled, "In some respects, as my creation, it is actually less human and arrogant than me."
"When I was about to give up the first creation, on the 658th world line, two miraculous things happened."
Bai Liu looked at Bai Liu on the opposite side of the water-patterned wall, and the smile on his face deepened: "The first thing is that my derivative is out of my control."
"I can't enter his dream, touch him, induce him, hint him, it's something that has never happened before, this derivative is like a completely normal human child in this world The line grew up lonely."
"It's really interesting. I observed him and found that he survived in an environment that excluded him extremely."
"Infant human beings are easy to commit suicide when there is no one of the same kind, or when all the same kind are rejected. In simple terms, they commit suicide when they cannot get the love of the same kind, but what is interesting is that he actually did not He survived without any human accepting him."
Bai Liu's face turned cold little by little.
Bai Liu seemed to have not seen it, and continued with a smile: "This young derivative not only survived, but he mistakenly put I dropped it into Tavel near him, a creation that is completely impossible to be emotionally regarded as the same kind."
"—And this kind of wrong perception is just because they are all in the same state of isolation."
"And the one who recognizes it will let the derivative have a feeling for his destined enemy, a creation that he doesn't pay attention to at all."
"He wandered around what he thought was the only one of his kind day and night, thinking that he had concealed himself well to observe Tavel, because he didn't want the other party to starve to death, and pretended to inadvertently put his own The few foods were distributed to the only ones of the same kind, and secretly hid the books they liked to read in the place where Tavel often borrowed books."
"Next, something even more amazing happened."
The arc of the smile on Bai Liu's face widened: "In a situation where this derivative didn't get any emotional response from Tavel at all, relying on the feelings generated by its own misconception, I produced a soul."
"This is the first time I have seen a human being produce a soul without being loved."
The last trace of expression on Bai Liu's face also disappeared.
