Chapter 133 Consciousness Endless

While Su Xi forced Xi Guang to access all surveillance information from the First Fortress, another part of her consciousness invaded Gary's brain with ease.

This process happened six minutes ago. Gary, who was blood-thirsty, was activating his shoulder gun, aiming at the beastly Asay's head, and was about to pull the trigger at the critical moment.

This feeling of 'crisis' does not include Su Xi, but only relative to other people at the moment.

In the time sense of Su Xi's ontological consciousness, everything is as slow as the dancing of poplar and willow catkins, soft and gentle——

But for Asai at that moment, he completely experienced a process of spiritual power stimulation between life and death.

His sensitive animal ears heard a slight "click" sound, and Gary's murderous determination was reflected in his bright golden eyes. He could not avoid the "crisis" that occurred in milliseconds!

Asai had never been so clearly aware of the breath of death blowing so intimately behind his ears.

However, under such a 'critical' stimulation, Asai's barely-beginning mental power violently attacked his brain, and the orcs' already superior five senses instantly increased their perception of the information around them by thousands of times!

To him, time around him slowed down.

It was so slow that it seemed as if the whole person was frozen in a huge, transparent solid gel. He could see, hear, smell... but could not move.

It's like a slow motion shot.

With such a strange feeling, he watched intently. The alpha, who originally had a murderous look on his face and a stiff expression, suddenly trembled his eyelids and gave him a soothing look. That kind and familiar feeling was about to emerge——

He seemed to hear a voice saying, 'Don't be impatient, Asay. Wait for me a moment.'

But it seems not.

He carefully recalled and identified it. Rather than calling it a "sound", it was more like a kind of mental wave message vibrating in his brain...

The beautiful beast eyes showed a hint of confusion and surprise, but before he could stop and think it through, Asai heard his heartbeat change from slow to very fast again.

Then, his perception of time returned to normal.

Did that feeling of 'enlightenment' disappear?

roar--

With a few faint doubtful groans in his throat, the huge leopard reluctantly retreated with its injured paw. Asai returned to the position he had stood before the attack.

It is not possible not to return it.

Because at this moment, the dark insect armor liquefied and deformed, forming a set of binding belts that were neither loose nor tight, gently but firmly pulling him back -

Towards the direction of Youhuangju.

The dark nose twitched slightly, sniffing the air twice, and then Asai understood, woooo——

For some inexplicable reason, the huge wild leopard suddenly lowered its head and buried it in its paws. Anyway, its huge body blocked the view and no one could see its expression.

But he forgot that few people would look for any expression on the face of a furry leopard cat.

He also forgot that the shape and movement of the animalized tail is the real organ for cats to convey their mood and "expression".

At this moment, the beautiful and powerful leopard tail is drooping relaxedly, with only the tip of the tail slightly fluttering and trembling, which is a body language expressing obedience and "joy".

On the other side of the scene.

In just three and a half minutes, Pirelli and his two companions, who were hit by Gary's Hydralisk and fell on the edge of the defense circle, were surprised to find that at the same time they were hit, the shield-like armor had silently surrounded them.

This is why the three men were not injured even though they fell to the ground in a desperate situation.

"Sususu--xi!" Asa started stuttering again when he was excited.

From his perspective, the powerful and difficult to define omega was now walking out of the ultimate form of the strangulation machine intact.

The burly Pierli was trying to touch the shield-like insect armor with a dazed look on his face, but after being hit back by the insect armor, he held his hands and endured the pain with a grimace. Foxtail was looking in the direction of Su Xi, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Su Xi nodded to them, and seeing that they were fine, she walked directly to the most difficult leopard. As her mind moved slightly as she walked, the insect shield that bound the three people unlocked its defensive mode.

Then she walked slowly behind Asai who was struggling against the drag of the restraints. Looking at the leopard with his head buried but his butt sticking up and his tail wagging, Su Xi knew that he did not like to see his full beast form in front of her.

That means he is not yet proficient in controlling his own abilities.

Asai, who was used to being domineering in the Siren Galaxy, refused to acknowledge this fact.

Su Xi smiled at Asai and said, "Congratulations! After your mental power has advanced to S level, your ability to switch forms instantly has also improved... But, let me see the situation now?"

Su Xi gently stroked the forehead of the huge wild leopard, and after carefully stroking the charred fur, she saw the wound healing rapidly. She breathed a sigh of relief and habitually said a few words of comfort.

The huge wild leopard stared at her with its round, golden eyes, without blinking.

But when she came closer, he turned his head away with disdain.

Su Xi had no choice but to squat in front of him and check the most serious wound on his head. She saw that the wound, which was about two fingers wide and deep enough to reveal the bone, was slowly healing and the bleeding had basically stopped. However, the damage caused by the concrete mental power of the 'Hydralisk' was often the worst that could only be discovered after the fact.

"Asay, the cold spring has been damaged, and the gene repair pool cannot be used for the time being." Su Xi said worriedly: "We can only go to Youhuangju. Xiguang has prepared the repair instrument..."

Asai suddenly raised his head! He wanted to say that he couldn't return to human form in a short time...

However, when she raised her head, she met those amber eyes, which were full of soothing looks. Her expression at that moment was very subtly overlapped with the expression on Gary's face just now.

With a low gurgling sound from its throat, the huge wild leopard struggled hard against the restraints of the insect armor, but after struggling for a long time, it made no progress.

Asai turned his head and saw Gary, who had been swallowed up by the dark beetle like a pillar. Su Xi only left his face exposed for breathing.

At this moment, Gary's eyes were blank, and his expression kept changing from sad to happy...

"In addition to the scars on your head, I want to take a look at your body too!"

Su Xi kept muttering, adjusting the slight strength, and mobilizing the insect armor to drag the awkward leopard towards Youhuangju. She just wanted to quickly deal with and settle Asai and the others before resolving Gary's problem.

Ouch——

The huge wild leopard then realized that its fur was burnt and mottled, and it looked extremely ferocious. After making a few vague low sounds in its throat, it suddenly broke free from the restraints of the beetle armor, and then after a few leaps, it wanted to run away completely -

"No! Stop losing your temper!" Su Xi gathered the insect armor in an instant, and with a light force, she grabbed its tail. Then, in an instant, the huge wild leopard was firmly trapped in the cage built by the dark insect armor!

"Asay!" Su Xi said very seriously: "Although your self-healing ability has improved after your transformation, you are still in the final stage of complete gene repair. Don't be willful!"

"Now there are no more extra 'full state' repair resources to waste!"

Su Xi narrowed her amber eyes as she recalled the heavy development of the incident. She turned around and quickly told Foxtail a few words, then opened up access to Youhuangju to them.

After watching Foxtail, Pirelli and the other two drag Asay in.

She reopened her inner shield.

Then she turned around and walked to Gary. Gary was in a mental fog at the moment, his expression was dull but there was an unspeakable pain. She knew that he was experiencing a memory that he had to go through -

Because the other quarter of 'Su Xi' is currently in Gary's brain, watching his past regrets, sorrow, and heart-wrenching pain.

Then, the 'Su Xi' in Gary's brain synchronously sensed that his real self was on the dividing line between fantasy and reality. That 'Su Xi' turned his head and saw his real self with a calm and almost indifferent expression through the perspective shared with 'Gary'.

Of course, she also saw her lips opening and closing, and she murmured to herself:

“That’s really interesting.”

"This 'multiple consciousnesses' in the same dimension... a sense of synchronization that transcends time."

The familiar sense of synchronization, the full feeling of 'oneness of time and space', seemed not to be her first experience, but a subtle sense of 'return'.

Neither of the 'Su Xi' continued to indulge in this feeling; she had specific goals to achieve in reality.

Because after she was promoted, she had a mysterious realization and knew——

The end of this journey is approaching.

*

At the first moment of invading Gary's brain.

As soon as Su Xi's first 'consciousness' touched the entrance to his spiritual world, he was greeted by an open door -

A door in a maze with 'clear guidance'.

Different from the chaotic and undeveloped scenes in Asay's spiritual world and the colorful illusions in Marlaina's spiritual world, Gary's spiritual world is like an orderly palace, peaceful but full of murderous intentions.

'Su Xi' didn't hesitate too much, she pushed the door open and walked in.

在她踏入門檻的那一剎那，這片精神領域的‘絕對主宰’便在‘她’身上打上了标簽，四五個不同的顏色，分別象征着他對她的認知，其中既包括性別種族等基本信息，也包括一些特別的标簽。

比如一張綠色的‘友好’卡，還有一張模糊隐匿着具體含義的灰色卡。

‘蘇熙’并沒有多餘的好奇心去探尋那張灰色卡具體指代什麽，雖然依照她的等級，只需輕輕碰觸便可以輕松讀取。

但她牢記第一次無意撞入加裏腦域時，所感受到的對方的‘自尊心受挫’的感受。

她首先來到了一座城池的外圍，內層的門向她靜靜敞開，沒有人出現。

但定位在她身上的‘綠色’标簽，卻輕輕閃動，如一盞指引的燈，指示着她前行的方向。

蘇熙跟上，漫步在這無盡的思維宮殿。宮殿中有些栩栩如生的雕塑，無不象征着主人人生之中的那一個個重要的時刻。

但挂在牆上的某些油畫，卻都大小不一的殘缺了一些。

蘇熙并沒有刻意探究的心思，她收回了目光。

但随着游覽的深入，她越驚嘆于他思維的複雜和缜密，同時也明白了加裏這樣的精神能力者為何能在‘多項的間諜任務’中，确保自己的精神不迷失。

這種方式給了她啓發，蘇熙想起自己那空曠得如同原始海洋的精神世界，不由得有些赧然。

思忖了片刻。

蘇熙開始認真考慮自己要不要也如同加裏這裏，通過‘刻意練習’來對自己的思維進行分區。

她覺醒的‘腦輪’并不同于瑪蓮娜及加裏等人，像一個整體的‘圓輪’那樣循環不息。

在與行星意識同化的過程之中，她初生萌芽的‘腦輪’，就被磅礴的宇宙意識給徹底碾碎成一個容量更大的‘領域’——

而在進入加裏精神世界的前一剎那，面臨‘微型殲滅機’絞殺的時候，被碾碎的‘領域’重組，生出了大小不一的四個環環相套的‘圓環’，分別處理着當下不同的四個事件。

而她隐約的知道，這個四環相套的模式，并不會如同加裏這樣會固定成一個不變的形狀。

如果下一次，面臨更多的線程任務——

她要怎麽保持自己的意識在分與合之間，不出現問題？

蘇熙微皺眉。

然而——一個清朗的男中音響起：“您并不需要如此。您的情況非常特殊。只是我級別不夠，無法給予您相關的建議。”

作為主人的加裏，在自己的‘絕對領域’中憑空出現了。

此刻的他是一副輕松的居家的模樣，他極為有禮的說：“我是‘加裏’的第二層意識，很抱歉主意識目前還不能出現。他在意識海的最深處，被某個東西給鎖住了。”

“您不必猶豫，請從這邊走。”

蘇熙略微颔首，并不說話。她看向前方，那是一條直達的通道，而之前指引她的‘綠色’卡在第三層就失去作用了。

後面的旅途只有那張意味不明的‘灰色’卡，在前方若隐若現的指引方向。

這是一段時間感為零的過程。蘇熙保持了絕對的沉默，經歷過阿薩伊的精神世界，她深深知道，在他人最核心的‘精神領域’中留下任何印記，帶給現實中的影響，不僅僅是記憶層面，而是包含了潛意識之間的羁絆……或者禁锢。

在灰色卡的帶領下，蘇熙終于來到了加裏‘精神領域’的最核心地帶。

最開始，核心地帶的外圍，呈現給她的，是一片坍塌的廢墟。蘇熙在前方閃爍着微芒的灰色卡的帶領下，來到廢墟的中心地帶——

蘇熙這才看明白了，這是一個廢棄的角鬥場。

已經被暴力摧毀的角鬥場。

最中心的祭臺上血跡斑斑，一條生鏽的鐵鏈連着深淵一般的黑暗井底。

這裏沒有人，依稀只有空氣中殘留的血腥味兒，絕望與拼死搏殺的……種種味道。

蘇熙輕觸那條尤帶血跡的鐵鏈，然後相關的信息就浮現在她的意識之中。

鬥獸場代表的是皇帝安東尼給予給加裏的“精神奴印”，而将其摧毀，造成這一片廢墟般的慘烈，卻是霍德曼強行抹去“奴印”後留下的殘跡。

在象征着‘精神奴印’的廢墟之下，還有一個蘇熙十分熟悉的痕跡，沿着帶血的鐵鏈深深地沒入了洞口大開，仿若深淵的的井底。

蘇熙微眯眼，她認出來了。

那是‘瑪蓮娜’精神波動過的痕跡。

蘇熙閉目，一躍而進深淵。

然後睜眼，一副烈焰地獄的景象撲面而來。

在熔岩咆哮之中，岩漿之中最後尚未被淹沒的那一小塊岩石上，捆縛着一個一身潔白婚紗的女子。她手捧黃色的玫瑰，在熔岩之中以一種祈禱的姿勢，閉目流淚。

被高溫扭曲的空氣，時不時串起的白煙，讓她的身影仿佛會被随時吞沒。

而加裏，卻站在熔岩之河的另一邊。他的身後，是無盡幽魂的拉扯，每個幽魂身上都有銘牌，也都有标簽，一眼望去，那些有特殊象征意味的‘綠色’标簽，密密麻麻而又無窮無盡……

加裏怔怔的擡頭，他看見了熔岩之河另一端的蘇熙。

“別過來。”

他無聲張口。

可蘇熙深刻的知道，如果她不把他強行帶出去，現實世界中的僵局，就永遠無法破解。

在他人的“絕對領域”中，不能作違反主人“事件規則”的事情，而加裏精神世界中這幅熔岩中，這副天人永隔的景象，“無法跨越”的暗示，本身就是一個牢不可破的規則。

這是瑪蓮娜以‘愧疚’為引，下達的心理暗示。只要他愧疚的源頭不滅，熔岩崩騰的幻象就不會滅。

幻象之中受盡折磨的露西的形象就不會湮滅。

想到外層精神世界中，在空曠的宮殿中所看到的那些殘缺了一半的畫像。蘇熙抿了抿唇。

淡色的熒光流轉在全身，蘇熙試探着步入了那條烈焰奔騰不息的熔岩之河。

然後她略感意外的發現，熔岩之河看着奔騰恐怖，然而實際的熔岩卻淺淡的，僅僅沒過了小腿肚，一路上最深之處也不過剛沒過膝蓋上兩寸的位置。

蘇熙繼續深入，朝着最中心那塊石臺奔去，

然而她流轉全身用于防範的精神力，與幻境中所構建出來的烈焰幻相相碰觸，卻使得虛幻中的熔岩就随之蒸騰……

眼看一小半的熔岩就要消湮滅于無。

這個有着特殊隐喻的場景就要随之崩塌！

蘇熙暗道不好。

在阿薩伊德精神世界中，那時她和他，對于精神世界中的詭異和險惡，都懵懂而一無所知。對蘇熙在他人的精神世界中随意構築虛幻行為，他倆都全然不知嚴重後果，然而此刻的蘇熙卻清晰的知道——

無論是蘇熙以善意為出發點也好，還是如同安東尼給予加裏的那枚‘精神奴印’所代表的險惡意圖也好，這種粗暴行為的本質，兩者并無區別。

精神世界中所有的虛幻構造，都代表着這個人的過去，無論悲傷也好，苦痛也好，都必須得自己跨越過。

他人無法代替。

更何況對于一個精神能力者而言，粗暴的幹涉更像是一種侮辱而不是幫助。

精神世界中的時間不計年歲，但現實中的僵局還待破解，蘇熙也只能盡可能減少一點直接行動帶來的影響。

此時，蘇熙已經行到熔岩之核的中段了。

想明白了之後，在‘建立羁絆’和‘摧毀防護’之間，她只能選擇影響最微弱的那個選項——

蘇熙狠下心，撤掉了自己身上的精神力防護，就這麽毫無防備的任由熔岩吞沒了自己。也任由這個精神世界的主人，那些過往的遺憾與痛苦的情緒，瞬間淹沒了她……

熔岩之河另一端，神情麻木的加裏，臉上出現一種深切的被震撼的神色！精神世界中的一草一木，一山一石，無不是‘本我’意識的代表，在蘇熙碰觸到他的痛苦的同時，那個omega深切‘共情’感受，也如實的反饋到了他的意識之中。

這完全出乎了他的意料。

他刑訊過無數的精神能力者，也遭受過他人的精神刑訊，無論是叫做‘精神刑訊’也好，還是溫和的稱其為‘精神疏導’也好，其本質并無不同。都是着力與對他人的精神改造。

但從未有人如同蘇熙這樣的做法，不是以能力的強弱來比拼，而是——

心底震撼，他無法對她的行為下定義！

只是出于一種omega式的善良嗎？不——

加裏苦笑，他剛才極為清晰的感應到了她的殺意，如果她來的這一趟無法解決問題，回歸現實的那一瞬他再次失控的話，第一瞬間下殺手的不是他。

因為他快不過她。

于是，加裏就這麽眼睜睜的看着，蘇熙奮力的向石臺靠近，幻境中的熔岩肢解着她的筋骨、焚燒着她的血肉，但她選擇了被動承受而不是運轉更強悍的精神力防護。

Gary's footsteps shifted slightly, and the 'rules' began to loosen.

When Su Xi came to the edge of the stone platform, she said softly to Lucy, who was tearful, "Go, he's waiting for you there."

Then Gary saw the omega using his mental strength to push carefully and hard!

This was her first proactive action after entering his world.

"Su Xi--" Gary blurted out, but he didn't know what he wanted to say next, and he didn't have time to say anything.

The scene changed in an instant.

This hell of regret filled with lava and flames was instantly turned upside down. The illusion of lava was shattered, and countless fragments of memory were steaming out of the flames.

Su Xi closed her eyes and temporarily blocked her consciousness. Even so, the two young people hugging each other in the ashes, the grand AO union ceremony blessed by everyone, the short journey of the family of three to an alien planet...all these fragments of memory still inevitably stained her.

Su Xi sighed for the couple who had gone through so much.

When the ashes cleared, the stone platform that had trapped Lucy in the flames slowly floated into the air and formed a light curtain of memory.

The 'mission description' played on the screen was not long.

Throughout the whole process, there was a woman wearing a hood. Her face was hidden in the darkness. Only her smooth chin and the instructions coming out of her bright red lips could be seen:

'Get the last reactor of the 'Complete Gene Enzyme' and hand it over to the support team.'

"The most important thing is——"

'Find Su Xi.'

'Kill her!' 'Kill her!' 'Kill her!'

"Then, if you explode your brain, you can be with your 'Lucy' forever..."

"Because... only the dead can keep secrets..." The gorgeous red lips opened and closed in a strange rhythm, full of temptation and suggestion.

The face under the hood turned slightly to the side, and the red-haired beauty had a strange smile in her green eyes: "Isn't this a good thing?"

"Let you be completely free from your regrets, and -"

'Gary, you should thank me for fulfilling the promise of 'staying together forever' in your marriage contract.'

The "caster" was Marlaina, who did not trust Anthony's "mental slavery" and gave Gary a double mission hint.

Su Xi turned her head.

At some point, Gary stood beside her with a calm face, and the surrounding environment returned to the ruins of the arena.

The light curtain fell back to the ground after the show was over, forming a rusty chain again, and clanged onto the altar that was still stained with blood.

"It's time for us to get out. You just need to break it." Su Xi pointed at the iron lock and said with a little reluctance.

Gary's expression darkened for a moment: "This represents the bond formed by my 'guilt' and 'regret'. If I want to break it, it means I have to completely forget her death."

“I can do it, but I don’t want to.”

Su Xihe knew it, but they couldn't stay here forever.

Suddenly, Gary smiled at her and made a request that Su Xi did not expect:

"Su Xi, please give me your 'spiritual mark' above the seal."

With the help of the Void Painting, a complex spiritual echo appeared in front of Su Xi's eyes. It was an exact replica of Anthony's 'Spiritual Slave Seal'.

The difference is that in the final signatory's mark, he used his real spiritual body, rather than the spiritual clone when he was fighting wits with Anthony.

This is a permanent mark, meaning eternal submission, never retaliating, never betraying, and means that once the 'master' has any orders, they will obey without reason, like a killing machine without its own thoughts.

"This is the only way." Gary looked over, an unspeakable request flashing in his calm expression.

Su Xi was very hesitant. She paused for a moment and said, "Gary, have you made up your mind?"

"I've thought about it."

Su Xi was silent, but she knew that if it wasn't like this, even if Gary could return to reality and control himself, Albert would not trust him. The best outcome for him would be to have his memory erased, become a civilian, and never be allowed to return to the military for the rest of his life.

And if it was me who gave him the 'Eternal Slave Seal', then -

Su Xi sighed. How could she not know that after a relationship was established, her status and worth had become extraordinary.

"good."

Without much hesitation, Su Xi agreed and stretched out her hand to slightly modify the pattern of the "Spiritual Slave Seal". She gave it a "time limit" adjective.

She said to Gary: "I'll give you ten years to advance, and then you can break it yourself."

"I will be responsible for any accidents that happen to you in the next ten years."

Gary's eyes flashed with surprise again.

"good!"

On the altar, the process of recognizing the master again was very quick. Su Xi traced the spiritual patterns with both hands, mobilized her spiritual power, and clapped lightly.

The remnants of the ruins floated up into the air and instantly reorganized into another appearance.

“…”

Gary was speechless. Su Xi smiled sheepishly and said, "This is the first draft of the design of the floating island, but I thought it was too low-brow, so I didn't show it to you..."

Su Xi's voice got lower and lower as she spoke, full of guilt: "But, I don't know... how it turned out like this after the seal was cast..."

This is a girly, ragdoll-themed playground.

Pink!

Gary was a little dazed. As a tough alpha, as a famous mental interrogator in the three armed forces, such a cold-blooded alpha that enemy spies would be afraid of at the mere mention of his name!

Of course he couldn't accept it!

You know, although Emperor Anthony's 'Spirit Slave Seal' imprisoned him, he also brought the power of a 6S top psychic!

Imagine if he encountered an opponent of the same level, or an existence that required him to cross levels to kill, and the two sides were fighting desperately in the spiritual realm, there were actually traces of this pink puppet cat in his mental loopholes...

Gary's face looked a little ugly.

The ceremony of sealing cannot be repeated.

If this is the case, within ten years, we must break through and advance to the pinnacle of 4S! Just thinking about it will give us more motivation!

Gary looked a little dull and said reluctantly, "It doesn't matter. Normally no one would know—"

But if he continued to work in the military, the special nature of his job... Gary's face became even uglier.

"Yes, yes!" Su Xi also responded awkwardly, trying to explain: "I just regrouped my brain ten minutes ago in the real world, and I'm not proficient in operating it yet-"

Gary nodded and said, "I see. You are confusing your subconscious unfulfilled wishes with your conscious instructions."

This mental interrogator, who was known for his harshness, could only smile helplessly: "I withdraw my previous words. You really should partition your brain area——"

But this is not his teaching qualification.

Su Xi could only laugh twice awkwardly. The spiritual world she was in was like collapsing sand, scattered all over the ground amidst such conversation and laughter.

Everything ended smoothly.

However, when Su Xi finished all this and returned to the real world, she never expected to see such a situation.

That is the most heavily guarded underground gene pool of the Medicaid Department.

The ground was a bloody mess with broken limbs and bodies. The red-haired alpha stood there indifferently and slowly turned his head.

Chris, who was thrown into the corner, shouted at her in a weak but hoarse voice:

"Su Xi, don't come over here!"
