By the time everyone returned to Buck's Bookstore, it was already noon.

The big client, Edwin, remembered Nie Yuan's entrustment, and greeted a few of his brothers. At 8:00 in the morning, he helped to open the door and start a business.

It's just that these uncles are obviously not expected to be employees, and they are extremely lacking in professionalism. When they see customers who are interested in buying books, they don't know how to go forward to sell them, let alone implement Buck's bookstore's purpose of "serving with a smile".

More like a guest than a guest, with an attitude of whether you like to buy it or not.

But there is one point that deserves praise, at least the cleaning is very good, and the books on the bookshelf are also neatly arranged.

Perhaps this is the limit of what they can do for new employees.

After all, except for Earl Lilian, who would drown them in the blood of their reprimands.

The rest of the time, wherever you go, you are not the target of your service. Suddenly there is a role swap and you become a server. It is normal for you to fail to adapt for a while.

The boss is not there, and the consciousness of doing enough face-saving work and not making jokes is quite rare.

Seeing Nie Yuan carrying Nancy into the store door, with his legs crossed, Edwin, who was the cashier at the front desk, immediately stood up.

Nie Yuan glanced at him and said, "Why are you so excited?"

Edwin looked back at the guests, and then asked in a low voice, "The news was sent back in the morning, and the church has suffered heavy casualties. You are all right."

Nie Yuan replied, "Do you think we have a problem?"

"That's the solution?"

"Forget it, but the town of Perth has basically died in name only, and there are not a few townspeople left."

"Okay!"

Edwin said excitedly: "Let's go back and report to Lord Lilian!"

"etc."

Nie Yuan stopped him and said, "You guys are back, what about the bookstore's business? Let's talk about it today when it's done."

"Aren't you back, eh, there are two more?"

"Georgie and Aztec, helped send three sick patients back."

"patient?"

"Well, Bishop Ni Kang and Bishop Dennis are seriously injured. I'm afraid they won't be able to come out and jump around during this time. Bishop Quentin is a little better, but there are colors everywhere."

At this time, the first thing to do when getting started is to count the accounts of Buck, raised his head, and said:

"If you don't have a communication scroll, the neighbor next door has a messenger. It's enough to inform Lilian remotely. If you have the details, we will be free in two days and contact her in person."

"This……"

"Stop this."

Nie Yuan interrupted: "We've been busy for a long time, and we have to take a break. You guys take care of the store, we'll go upstairs."

"come on! Come on!"

Nancy, who was sitting on Nie Yuan's neck, waved her fist at Edwin who smiled wryly, expressing her language support.

All the way up to the top floor, they didn't really go to rest as they said.

Instead, he came to Buck's workshop and began to discuss the current situation.

Of course, Nie Yuan and Buck were basically talking, and Nancy was already holding her radio and enjoying herself there.

"I temporarily store this disaster source core dropped by Edrie, and it can be used as a material for forging your blood system in the future."

Buck put a slap-sized prismatic scale aside, which was the last trace of Adrien in the world.

Then he continued: "You can keep the remaining abstract source, but remember that you can only use it once, otherwise it will cause some bad consequences, which will not only affect the user's cognition, but may also make it mutated into Another form that becomes unmanageable."

Nie Yuan thought for a while and said, "The other form you're talking about is like the one described in Adrien's diary."

Buck replied: "Yes, once it is activated, it is no longer a material form that can be easily grasped, it may be hidden in anyone's spirit or memory and become a mysterious existence.

Just like the original Adrie, being parasitized by this thing in his painful and frantic sea of ​​consciousness, outsiders can't spy on it, so it will be troublesome. "

Nie Yuan nodded and said, "I will definitely use it with caution, but there are still some things that are unclear."

"you say."

"Now it seems that this abstract source has no self-awareness, and Adri, as its carrier, has also been in a state of frenzy for a long time, so why can it still do many things with very clear purposes, such as through mirrors World, replace the staff of the Church and Lillian to hinder the outside world's detection of Perth Town."

"Without trying to fully manipulate the abstract source, there are some things I'm not sure about, but in some abstract source cases, something similar happened.

That is, although the abstract source does not have self-awareness, those who are assimilated by it have. In the abstract source or Adri's instinct, they do not want to be found by outsiders, so the townspeople and derivatives will follow their instincts, to hinder the actions of the church. "

"That is to say, the abstract source is equivalent to some kind of vague central consciousness. As long as it has any needs, those assimilated individuals will use their own cognition to help it complete?"

"It can be said that the townspeople are not completely controlled by it, but more like its servants, and they will subconsciously conform to the will of the abstract source or Adrien."

"It turns out that, but there is a very important question."

With that said, Nie Yuan looked at his feet, there was nothing there.

Buck hesitated for a while and said, "This is also something I don't understand. Why did everyone else's shadow return, but your shadow still disappeared."

Nie Yuan recalled the scene of his own shadow, being chased as a thief, moving left and right, and jumping around, not sure:

"There seems to be some kind of quality in him that prevents him from being completely controlled by Perth Town like other shadows, becoming an anomaly that Perth Town didn't expect, and has his own personality."

Buck thought for a while and said:

"It may have something to do with the identity of the descendants of our ancient gods, but I was not there at the time, and I can't deduce the logic.

But on the next day, don't go downstairs, I will create a custom shadow for you, so that others can't see the flaws. "

Nie Yuan said in surprise:

"Can you build this too? It can be done in one day? Then why don't we try to catch that guy back, I seem to be able to feel that he is still in Ruiyan City, not too far away from me, maybe also Because he can't."

Buck replied:

"It may not be so easy to capture him quietly in Ruiyan City, but I can sense that he is unusually slippery.

According to my experience, since there is still some kind of connection between you and him, it means that he is still just your appendage. Once in contact, you can put him back to his original position as long as you want. Maybe that's why he avoided you.

I have also created shadows for others, but they are not shadows in the conventional sense, but like an assistant hidden in the shadows, so that the shadows can move and do many things for the master. Hands on, deliver materials or something.

So in this regard, I still have some insights of my own. It is very easy to simply create a lifeless simulated shadow. "

Nie Yuan was naturally convinced of Buck's words, but he was still a little worried, saying:

"Are you sure he won't cause any trouble in the outside world, and the long-term departure of the shadow will really not have any effect on me?"

If that's the case, then what should I do with shadows.

This is obviously a violation of the basic rules of the world, but can it be beneficial or harmless?

When he was in Perth Town, he cheated on me once. If he did something out of the ordinary and caused misfortune to come, wouldn't it be a misfortune.

Buck said seriously:

"If ordinary people are in your situation, it will definitely not be a good thing. It violates the rules of the world and will be backlashed by the rules.

But our existence is a challenge to the existing rules of the world and should not exist in the world. The blessing of the Father will make it difficult for the rules to find your place.

The suffering you have experienced in the past has lost too many characteristics of the descendants of the ancient gods, and the way you recover will be different from ours.

In the early stage, you will rely on many external things to stimulate the hidden power, such as the heart and blood system.

The existence of shadows may speed up this process. If he wants to maintain his independence, he must keep getting stronger to resist your attraction to him.

Therefore, it is equivalent to you having an extra stored energy in the outside world. When you need it, you can use it at will with some effort. Do you understand what I mean? "

Hearing this, Nie Yuan seemed to have opened the door to a new world, saying:

"What do you mean, anyway, I am the main body, he will never be able to turn against the guest, it is better to let him temporarily stock up, the stronger he is, the stronger the backing I have?

Since the creation of the heart and the blood system are all through external forces to urge my own recovery, the power that the shadow obtains from the outside world is also such an external force, so I don’t have to worry about it myself, he will try his best to help me absorb the external force.

When I need him, with a little effort, I can take it back into my body? "

Buck agrees:

"Probably so, because if he wants to get rid of you completely, he needs to be stronger than the real ancient **** and the rules of the world, which is impossible.

If you want to use this backup energy that exists in the outside world, you just need to follow your connection with him and find him.

If he's stronger than you, that's a good thing, not a threat. "

Nie Yuan suddenly became enlightened and said:

"It turns out that you have such a level of consideration, Buck. In this way, it is indeed more cost-effective to release him than to bring him back. Even if there is some risk, it seems to be worth it."

Buck nodded and said:

"Yes, and the risk is not too great, he must also understand that if a catastrophe happens and you are involved, he will not have any good fruit to eat.

If you die, as your appendage, he will also die. If you do not die, then we will not allow a troublemaker to do things in the outside world.

I can try to increase the attractiveness of your body to him, and at that time, he will not be able to escape too far. "

Now Nie Yuan is mastered, saying:

"Then leave him alone for the time being, I hope he can experience this tacit understanding."

"Since you also agree with the idea of ​​temporarily stocking him, then I will start to create a simulated shadow for you."

"Okay."

...

at the same time.

On the edge of Ruiyan City.

Hei Nieyuan had been standing here for a long time, and there were still several deep ravines on the ground.

These ravines were not milled by wheels, but were milled out by the soles of his feet.

The reason is also very simple. He wants to test how far he can leave the body at most.

When I found out that I came here, the attraction behind me suddenly became stronger.

No matter how he went forward, he would be pulled back to the place by invisible force, unable to resist.

Now Hei Nie Yuan has also come to the conclusion that if he wants to continue to live, he can take the role of Nie Yuan's shadow in another way.

First of all, it is impossible for him to harm the body, and he does not want to do that at all.

Nie Yuan was his origin, and he also expressed it from his heart, agreeing that there was his home, but he just chose to run away from home because he didn't want to be imprisoned forever.

Secondly, if you are destined to only act within a defined range, even with your own strength, this range will continue to be expanded.

But the main body Nie Yuan will not stand still. If the other party wants to, he can still compress his activity space.

And you shouldn't stay at the boundary of the delineated range, because it's very dangerous.

The danger comes from the narrowing of the scope of activities. If Nie Yuan and the others are found at this time, then they basically have no escape.

But fortunately, it seems that the main body is not in a hurry, I don't know what to think, and I didn't come to arrest myself the first time.

Only then did he have the courage to come to the bottom to calculate his range of activities.

In normal times, in fact, to a certain extent, the closer he is to the main body Nie Yuan, the safer he is.

Because if his range of activities is regarded as a huge ring, then it must be in the center of the ring, which will give him more space for "walking" and more choices.

Didn't you see the boxers who were usually pressed on the edge of the ring, basically only got hammered, and they couldn't dodge if they wanted to.

And as a boxer, the rules of confrontation between himself and his body are extremely unequal.

That is, he can only be beaten, not fight back!

In the end, Hei Nieyuan also figured out that if he wants to establish some kind of tacit understanding between himself and the body, he must show his own value to prove that he is separated from it, which is more beneficial to the body. Row.

The current troubles of the ontology should only be the disappearance of the shadow, which will make its daily life less convenient, but presumably Buck should be able to solve it.

Even if Buck couldn't, didn't they already have the abstract source of Perth Town.

It should be very easy for abstract sources to recreate a simulated shadow.

Or, the body will worry that if he causes some trouble in the outside world, it will make him burn himself.

Then don't do that yourself.

With my current ability and my mind, it doesn't seem to come from the knowledge of this world, coupled with the identity that can touch the moonlight~lightnovelpub.net~ may be able to create a huge organization of guardians, to Invisible, it helps Ontology solve a lot of troubles.

Dedicated to defending him.

In this alternative way, continue to take on your role as a shadow.

It must be able to reflect the value that is more beneficial to him outside than under his feet.

I won't throw the blame on him myself.

Instead, he could throw the blame on himself.

Then this layer of worry about the ontology should be able to be eliminated.

From this, he can also establish a tacit understanding of their own well-being with them.

Well, I seem to remember a foreign god's language——

【The most dangerous place is the safest place】

Of course, first of all, you have to hide it well, or let the other party not want to arrest you at all.
