Chapter 114 Origin 15
Before Qin Boxiu could react further, Gu Li was already irritated by these words.
"impossible!"
Gu Li’s first reaction was disbelief.
What followed was an uncontrollable panic and an increasingly intense emotion after hearing Gu Rong say these words——
Gu Rong continued, "Why not?"
"You think you're in control, but you're the clown being played. Everything that's happening is within our expectations. Why aren't there so many people on the way to the ferry? We knew you two would come, so we made arrangements ahead of time."
"Gu Li, don't worry. As long as I'm alive, you won't have an easy life in this life."
As he spoke, Gu Rong's fingers moved, as if they had already escaped Gu Li's control.
Gu Li saw this and was instantly shocked. He was already flustered - even though he was sure of victory at the beginning, he was soon ridiculed and shocked. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw that Gu Rong might have really escaped his control, so Gu Li's subconscious reaction was to strengthen his control over Gu Rong.
There was no way he could let Gu Rong break free.
But what Gu Li didn't know was that this was exactly what Gu Rong wanted.
Because at the moment he lost consciousness at the ferry, Gu Rong seemed to hear 01's voice.
All this time, he has been wondering where 01 is.
Why did 01 suddenly disappear since he returned to his original world?
Logically speaking, 01 was bound to him, so he should have felt it if he wanted to be untied. Moreover, there was no sign of this beforehand. Even if he and 01 were forced to be untied, it would be impossible for him to be unaware of it. So Gu Rong always felt that 01 was most likely still in his body, but for some unknown reason it could not come out.
While at the ferry, when his consciousness seemed to fall into darkness, at that moment, he seemed to hear the anxious call from 01.
Therefore, after discovering that Gu Li's ability had improved and he could even control this ability, Gu Rong wanted to try it again.
He knows how to stimulate Gu Li.
Mastering this ability to dominate and control others is undoubtedly exciting and novel to Gu Li. This feeling will make him swell up, and when he is stimulated, he will grab this life-saving straw tightly, and then constantly fill this sense of expansion and comfort in his heart through the reactions of others being threatened or controlled.
In this situation, Gu Li would not allow any accidents to happen.
And Gu Rong wants to make Gu Li realize that what he is most jealous of and targets most is the existence that can threaten him.
He wanted Gu Li to turn all his attention to him.
He wanted Gu Li to attack and control him with all his strength, just like he did before at the ferry.
This is indeed risky.
But Gu Rong had to do it.
Otherwise, he didn't know what breakthrough he could find in the short term.
——A buzzing sound came from my mind again.
It was as if something was disturbing his mind. The force of this control was thousands of times stronger than when Gu Li was unconscious, like an invisible giant hand pressing down.
But this time, Gu Rong's mental strength had been accumulating, and he had made preparations in advance, so when Gu Li launched the attack, Gu Rong's consciousness had not been disconnected immediately.
He kept calling out for 01 in his mind.
Mental power also constantly stirs up storms in the mind.
This might cause more harm to Gu Rong than the control from Gu Li. Using his own mental power to stir desperately in his mind and search for the trace of 01 might hurt Gu Rong's spiritual realm, but at this moment Gu Rong could no longer care about so many things. He intuitively found 01 and let 01 show up, which might change the status quo.
However, Gu Li's attack was too fierce.
Maybe it was because of the stimulation, Gu Rong felt more stressed than when he was at the ferry.
Even though Gu Rong had accumulated mental strength in advance, he still felt extremely exhausted at this moment.
Only a few seconds passed during this period.
If this continues, Gu Rong may not be able to hold on and maintain this clarity of mind.
[01, Where are you——]
【01! !】
At the moment when they were about to fall into complete darkness, a faint voice suddenly rang out.
【Meow! Host!】
【01! 】
Gu Rong subconsciously concentrated all his mental strength and attacked.
"Meow--"
A small black kitten with shiny black fur suddenly jumped out from somewhere and jumped onto Gu Li. The kitten stomped on Gu Li's body with its claws, and then used the force to jump onto Gu Rong. Gu Rong hugged the small black kitten and at the same time stood up to block Qin Boxu.
And in a place that Gu Rong couldn't see, behind him, Qin Boxiu was staring at the black kitten that suddenly appeared, with a light in his eyes.
Gu Rong's face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat, which was a sign of mental overdraft.
The only good thing is that he is now out of Gu Li's control.
But we can't take it lightly.
【01, Do you have any ideas? 】
"Meow!"
01 He clung to Gu Rong's shoulder, as if he wanted to see something. He looked very anxious and could not speak. He just kept meowing.
But Gu Li would never give them time.
At this time, he was already terrified to a certain extent, even paler than Gu Rong. Especially after seeing Gu Rong stand up and really escape from his control, Gu Li was almost bloodshot, and did not care about his current physical condition at all. He just wanted to control Gu Rong again, and the expression on his face became more and more crazy.
Qin Yihan didn't expect such a change to happen.
Even if he was really wary and worried about Gu Li's ability in his heart as Gu Rong said, he couldn't let Gu Rong and Qin Boxiu escape Gu Li's control at this moment. Otherwise, except for him and Gu Li, the rest of the people on the boat were on Qin Boxiu's side. As long as Gu Rong and Qin Boxiu made any uncontrolled moves, it would be disadvantageous to them.
Even if only Gu Rong can move freely now, it won’t work.
He couldn't let anything unexpected happen in the current situation, otherwise he would be really finished.
So in a flash, Qin Yihan also rushed towards Gu Rong.
The sea level outside the floor-to-ceiling window began to become turbulent at some point. The waves kept surging and the sky was covered with dark clouds, as if pressing down on the entire cruise ship. They seemed to be wrapped in this world, as if trapped in some kind of woven cage with nowhere to escape.
Everything started to become bizarre.
Whether it was Gu Li with a ferocious look in front of him, or Qin Yihan who rushed up regardless of anything.
It seemed that no one noticed the changes in the sky and waves outside.
In an instant, Gu Rong felt oppression coming from all directions.
It was as if everything was pressing towards him.
He seemed to be running out of living space.
However, the next second, he suddenly felt a warm and spacious touch from behind. Qin Boxiu didn't know when he stood up, and as if out of control, he stood behind Gu Rong, hugged Gu Rong, stretched out his hand, lifted Gu Rong's palm, and whispered in Gu Rong's ear: "A Rong, don't be afraid."
Gu Rong's eyes flashed with surprise: "You——"
Gu Li and Qin Yihan in front of him seemed to be at a standstill. No, something slowed down their movements, as if they were fighting against them.
"The original code of this world is 001."
Gu Rong took a deep breath and looked at the little black cat 01 in his arms: "Then what about its relationship with 01..."
"The code that created 01 is the same as the code of this world. They can restrain each other, but 01 is newborn and doesn't yet possess sufficient energy. Besides forming a connection between you and me, it can also serve as an anchor in this world. The first time I saw it, I was able to wake up."
"And this world..."
Qin Boxiu narrowed his eyes, looked outside, and said in a low voice, "This world was the first one I created. Because it was the first one I created, my control over it was not profound, and the process of creation was not mature or perfect. By the time I discovered it, it had quietly slipped out of my control and achieved self-growth."
As he spoke, Qin Boxiu had already moved to Gu Rong's side, put his other arm around Gu Rong's shoulders, and stretched out his hand to let Gu Rong turn her head to the side so that her forehead touched his.
In an instant, countless pieces of information were transmitted to Gu Rong's mind -
The first world, the second world, the third world that Gu Rong experienced, and the current so-called original world where he was born and grew up, were actually all created by Qin Boxiu. This is the way Qin Boxiu practiced. The operation of each world will provide energy for Qin Boxiu.
The world coded 001 is the first world created by Qin Boxiu. As Qin Boxiu said, the first world he created when he started practicing was actually not very mature and perfect, so Qin Boxiu's control over the first world was not deep enough, so that in the process of self-growth, this world gradually developed a rebellious consciousness.
Qin Boxiu would leave a trace of consciousness in every world he created, and for the first world he created, he named this trace of consciousness after his real name, which is now Qin Boxiu's body in this world. But if his own consciousness is not put in, this trace of consciousness will only follow the established trajectory and circulate back and forth, serving as the core energy for the operation of this world, constantly repeating the process from birth to death, and constantly drawing energy from life to death.
But after giving birth to himself, this world not only isolated his ego consciousness, but even stole his core energy and tried step by step to erase the trace of consciousness he retained in this world - so in Gu Rong's previous experience, Qin Boxiu had been in poor health since childhood, and was in a vegetative state from beginning to end, and even died in the end.
"What about Gu Li?"
Thinking that it was Gu Li who controlled him to give Qin Boxiu the medicine, Gu Rong suddenly realized something.
"That's right. Gu Li is the 'opportunity' it has chosen in this world. It will use Gu Li's existence to continuously steal core energy from me and completely obliterate my consciousness remaining in this world. Even though I can observe this world's movements out of control through the barrier of the world, I can't do anything about it because I can't project my own consciousness."
The trace of consciousness that remains in each world cannot possibly realize why this world was created and why it operates. Just like Lu Yu, Gu Yanchen and Ling Xiao, they are all people living in that world, leading normal lives, and have not awakened at all. Therefore, all their powers are naturally sealed in the dark and cannot be used.
"I have been observing this world for a long time, and at one point I even decided to give up on it."
Qin Boxiu's tone was full of admiration: "But I discovered you."
Gu Rong understood and smiled instantly: "Because although my body is controlled by Gu Li, my consciousness is free?"
"yes."
Qin Boxiu reached out and stroked Gu Rong's cheek, seeming distressed: "And you relied on yourself to break away from Gu Li and even the control of this world."
"Remember the codes for the first three worlds?"
"Remember."
Gu Rong's smile deepened: "Are you greeting me?"
Qin Boxiu also laughed and said, "First world: Hello."
"The second world: very happy."
"Meet you in the third world."
"As for this world, when my ego consciousness is finally able to enter it, it will be doomed to fail. However, this world's energy is indeed abundant, more abundant than any of my other worlds. My first world will also exist as your first world, and I will rename this world for you."
Gu Rong's eyes trembled, and he asked softly, "What is it?"
"Miracle."
"Hello, nice to meet you, Miracle."
"Gu Li is its opportunity, and you are my miracle."
As the words fell, energy fluctuations suddenly emanated from the two hands that were clasped together.
"Feel it carefully."
Qin Boxiu whispered, "I have captured it, and your mental strength is enough to wipe it out."
Boom——
Several loud thunders suddenly sounded outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The sky and the ocean seemed to be connected together, sweeping towards the cruise ship in a dark mass, as if it was the end of the world.
"From the moment you escaped its control, you became a loophole in this world, enough to create a breach in it. You are the connecting point of this world. I came into this world through you, but it no longer belongs to me. Only you can shake its existence and completely erase its consciousness."
"Arong, you are the miracle itself."
The moment the words fell, it was as if a taboo was touched. Outside, the sea was surging, with lightning and thunder. The cruise ship was like a small boat in the huge waves, which might be submerged in the rolling waves in the next second. However, the strange thing was that the cruise ship had been staying still, and until now, there had not been many disturbances.
The direction that Gu Rong's palm was facing was exactly Gu Li.
The consciousness of this world was projected onto Gu Li, and Gu Li's eyes were filled with fear at this moment, as he had actually realized something.
"No..." He squeezed out this word from his throat.
On the other side, Qin Yihan also heard the conversation between the two. Although there was still a lot he didn't understand, he realized with a pale face that he might really be finished.
But compared to Gu Li, he could not resist anything.
He is a carrot that this world holds in front of Gu Li. He seems to have the initiative everywhere, but in fact he is just a clown who can be manipulated at will.
Gu Rong didn't even glance towards Qin Yihan.
He tried his best to focus on the "Gu Li" in front of him.
The overdrawn mental strength had been replenished the moment Qin Boxiu held his hand, and this was not the first time that Gu Rong had severely damaged it - at first, it had self-awareness, escaped from this world by dying, and then returned to this world again. The controlled power had long been quietly loosened, otherwise Gu Li's abilities would not have been enhanced.
Then, he stimulated Gu Li before, found 01, and once again broke free from the control of "Gu Li".
Time and again, poking holes in it.
But before this, Gu Rong had acted on instinct, knowing the results but not the reasons. But now, with Qin Boxiu's guidance, it was like a sudden enlightenment. He knew both the results and the reasons, and knew how to use his abilities to capture and consume, and ultimately continue to erode the world's self-awareness through loopholes.
This process seems very long, but also seems to be just a moment.
With Qin Boxiu's guidance and help, Gu Rong's mental power invaded instantly, following the point and chasing closely. The huge energy intertwined and collided. Gu Li's body began to tremble rapidly, as if he could not bear it. Finally, when it was about to reach a critical point, his body trembled violently, and then he fell down with a bang.
At the same time, the roaring wind and waves outside the floor-to-ceiling windows gradually subsided, and the dark clouds in the sky faded away, revealing a clear sky.
Qin Yihan also lost consciousness.
Both of them will lose their relevant memories and will only "remember" that they followed the cruise ship but failed to kidnap it and were instead subdued. What awaits them will be imprisonment.
Gu Rong withdrew his hand and looked at his palm.
After erasing that trace of world consciousness, he was actually automatically absorbing the energy of this world.
"I told you, this world will belong to you."
Qin Boxiu held Gu Rong in his arms, lowered his head slightly and looked at him: "We will be together forever, Rong."
The cruise ship docked at the next port, contacted the police, and sent Gu Li and Qin Yihan off. After that, the two continued their journey.
A real journey.
"After absorbing the energy of this world and finishing your time in this world, how about I take you to visit other worlds?"
Gu Rong held 01 and leaned against the railing of the deck, gazing at the distant sea. He turned and smiled at Qin Boxiu, "You said before that you've been watching me and observing me from outside this world. After I used my own death to leave this world, it created a gap in this world. You could have come in then, right?"
"yes."
"This world's original code was 001, but the three worlds I've experienced were all alphanumeric. Did you create this world specifically for me?"
Qin Boxiu smiled and said, "Yes."
"In the third world, I said I loved you, and then I came back. The degree of our connection to each other depends on my feelings for you?"
"yes."
Qin Boxiu said, "So my body in this world woke up because of you. Since you returned to this world, I also chose to return in the form of releasing my consciousness. Otherwise, I would have to destroy this world, but I can't bear to do so, because this world is also where you were born, and it is where miracles are."
Gu Rong couldn't help but reveal a complacent expression. He reached out and grabbed Qin Boxiu's collar, whispering, "So admit it, you fell in love with me long before I knew you."
Qin Boxiu inevitably moved closer to Gu Rong and couldn't help laughing again.
He also whispered, "There's nothing wrong with admitting this."
"It's only natural to fall in love with miracles themselves. You make me irresistible."
Qin Boxiu's voice was low and solemn: "I love you, Gu Rong."
Gu Rong reached out and stroked Qin Boxiu's cheek: "I seem to rarely say I love you."
"Then you must remember to say it. I like to hear it."
Qin Boxiu held Gu Rong's hand and kissed her with his head tilted.
Gu Rong chuckled: "From now on, you must stay by my side, no matter where I go."
"Of course—"
"I love you too, Qin Boxiu."
Gu Rong turned and pinched Qin Boxiu's face: "I will remember to say it often in the future, until you are tired of hearing it."
“No, I’ll never get tired of hearing it.”
Qin Boxiu said seriously: "Otherwise you can try it now."
Gu Rong: "...You wish."
The two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Gu Rong turned around and looked forward again.
"Okay, now let's officially start our first leg of the journey!"
"Well, I'll accompany you."
