Chapter 3: Heart Demon
It has been about five days since the start of the trip with Gus and others. During this period, Hao Qi has been observing Gus and Kasgar, as well as the ghosts and ghosts who attack every night. The more he observes, the more problems he finds. Novels.
First of all, there is no way of heaven or great way in this world, that is, there is no existence of general consciousness. Instead, it is replaced by a certain law of cause and effect, which is similar to creating certain results first and then deciding the reasons for the result. Hao Qi cannot see the mystery of it, just as it should be natural.
To give a simple metaphor, just like a novel or a comic, the author always has his own ideas and ideas. This concept, or outline, is cause and effect for the characters in the book. First determine the result, and then describe the cause of the achievement. For the characters in the book, it is countless accidents that have achieved the result, but this accident is actually inevitable. What may happen will definitely happen, and the result determines the cause.
In Hao Qi's observation, people, things and things along the way have this tendency, that is, some kind of flow that is invisible to the naked eye and cannot be noticed by ordinary people. It is chaotic and regular, simple but complex. If Hao Qi had not been virtually detached, he would probably not be able to discover these mysteries in it.
Gus and Casgar, including the little fairy Buck, are at the core of this flow. Not to mention that the whole world is spinning around them like the Eagle of Light, but at least their every move is affecting everything around them, and the degree of influence continues to intensify over time, like a big vortex, sweeping many key figures into it.
For example, Hao Qi found that after seeing Griffles, Gus became more and more irritable these days. Just yesterday, when he woke up asleep, he even sent a murderous intent to Casgar in an instant. Although this murderous intent was extremely short-lived, it was very abnormal, because this murderous intent did not come from Gus' heart, and it seemed to be forced by something. After the murderous intent, Gus immediately felt guilt, sadness, fear and other emotions.
Hao Qi has read the original work, so he knows that this murderous intent may come from a piece of armor called Berserker armor that Gus will get in the future. It is a piece of equipment full of magic. It is similar to the legendary equipment about the Demon Sword Village in Hao Qi's previous life. It is an equipment that can affect the wearer's mind. This is Hao Qi's original idea, but after looking at Gus' current state, Hao Qi had some new ideas about it.
Perhaps this berserker armor is not something like the Demon Sword Masaru, but it is more likely to have some kind of consciousness, and it is even a product of the law of cause and effect, because in terms of time, Gus has never seen that armor at all, but this armor has affected him and made him produce something like an inner demon.
This is essentially a law of cause and effect, and it is also an extremely profound law of cause and effect, which can cross the timeline. In the future, Gus will definitely wear this armor. No matter what the middle is, this is his necessity in the future. Similarly, he is likely to become an existence of the so-called demonic path of the underworld like the Skeleton Knight.
The so-called Demonic Way of the Underworld, which was not explained in the original work until Hao Qi traveled through time. It was mentioned by the Skeleton Knight when he met a witch. Hao Qi himself also had some speculations about the so-called Demonic Way of the Underworld. One of the speculations was the struggler on the road of revenge, similar to Gus now, but if that was the case, at most he would become a powerful warrior like Gus, and still an ordinary person.
But the Skeleton Knight was obviously not an ordinary person. He was very powerful, strong enough to suppress the apostles, and even fought with the Hand of God in a short time. He knew a lot of secrets, and even the Hand of God called him king. From the plot, he seemed to have a great grudge with the Hand of God, which was probably a grudge similar to Gus. He even knew the law of cause and effect, and he destroyed the law of cause and effect of the Hand of God several times.
Such an existence is absolutely impossible for an ordinary person. He must have extraordinary attributes, and is an existence equivalent to those apostles and those hands of gods, but he is not a series of God's hands, so... in Hao Qi's speculation, the demonic path of the underworld is likely to be another sect's extraordinary power.
In this world, Hao Qi believes that there are four factions that may exist, two of which are explicit extraordinary factions. The Hand of God and its subordinate apostles are one faction, and the faction with the most length in the original work. Secondly, the faction of witches and fairies is relatively profound. These two factions are the most explicit extraordinary factions, while the other two factions are some powerful forces below the Ghost Realm. For example, the little witch who will join Gus' team later, is reflected in the spells she uses. Whether it is defensive spells or offensive spells, there are traces of these powerful forces in the Ghost Realm.
The last one, Hao Qi guessed that it was probably the faction of the Demonic Dao of the Underworld. This faction is the most mysterious. So far, only the existence of Skeleton Knight and Berserker Armor can prove the traces of this faction. Moreover, judging from the behavior of Skeleton Knight and the bewitching of the Bells armor, the style of this faction may be quite cruel, and it is likely to be hostile to the Hand of God.
In any case, Gus' future destiny has been destined to be unclear with these extraordinary forces. This is a fate that he cannot escape even if he wants to. It is also the most important worldview, law of cause and effect in this world.
There are actually two fundamental reasons for Gus to move towards this future. One is that Griffus became the hand of gods and sacrificed all members of the Eagle Group except him and Casca. He even raped Casca when he became a demon. This deep hatred made Gus never forget him forever.
The other is Casga. In order to avoid the memory of reality, Casga closed himself up and became a blank that had no memory left. Gus's feelings for Casga were extremely deep. Being looked at him with strange eyes by Casga now, this was enough to hurt his heart. What's more, Casga would also show disgust and look at him, and show admiration for Griffles. This contrast made him crazy.
It is these things that guide Gus to get closer and closer to the planned future, and in this accident, it actually carries the necessity, for example, he will inevitably wear berserker armor, will inevitably meet the fairy Buck, and will inevitably embark on the road to finding the land of the fairy.
In the past few days, Hao Qi realized the inevitability of this law of cause and effect. In the original work, in order to achieve various things afterwards, Gus must have a bad relationship with the blank Casca, who is now blank, and even make Casca fear and even hate him, which will trigger the subsequent plot and the joining of other characters in the team.
There is no way of heaven or great in this world, but it seems that another pair of invisible hands are controlling everything. Moreover, Hao Qi cares about some words in the original work. Both the apostle and the hand of God said... They were born according to ** (dream), so their mission is to pursue their own ** (dream), which makes Hao Qi have some inferences and ideas in his mind. When he thinks of the causal law of the main theme of this world, Hao Qi's idea becomes even more profound.
Perhaps, this world...
Hao Qi did not stop Gus' inner demons from growing, because this was not simply his own wishes, nor was it simply indoctrination from the outside world, but the breeding of inner demons caused by his own thoughts mixed with external guidance. To be simpler, this is a problem that only he can face and solve. If others help, for example, Hao Qi can directly cleanse the impurities in his heart by enlightenment. Hao Qi can do it now. In fact, according to his current state, even more incredible things can be done, but these are all external forces.
Although it can be delayed, the more delayed the heart demon comes out of his own heart. The more difficult it will be when the future erupts, the more it will be when it is relied on external help. The more difficult it will be to get through it in the future. In the original work, Gus and the young witch entered Casca's heart with the help of the Fairy King in the Fairyland, trying to rescue Casca's consciousness. This is actually Gus's path to self-salvation? This is the inner demon he is saving himself. Although it is not a heart disaster, nor does it light up the light of the soul, the survival of this inner demon can give Gus the courage to survive. This is something that others cannot help.
So Hao Qi is now watching Gus deteriorate step by step, and his condition of treating Casca is becoming more and more rude. Although he quickly woke up, this condition continued to accumulate. Soon, he almost became a demon once. During the night battle, he almost slashed at Casca with a sword. Fortunately, he broke free and Hao Qi blinked his fingers to block the giant sword, so Gus could hold the giant sword in time, otherwise Casca would definitely be killed by one sword or two pieces.
Since then, Gus deliberately kept a distance from Casgar, but he loved Casgar deeply. How could he say that keep a distance just by keeping a distance? Sometimes when the true feelings surged, he also wanted to be intimate with Casgar. However, although Casgar was ignorant, he could feel the hearts of people. Gus had murderous intentions several times, especially when he waved the sword before, he scared her, which made her feel even more afraid of Gus. Therefore, she was afraid of dodging for Gus' occasional intimacy, which further led to the surge of Gus' inner demons.
In this way, until the eleventh day of the team's departure, Gus's spirit was already tense to the limit. Although now with Hao Qi's joining, he could be much easier every night in the battle, but at night, especially when ghosts gather to attack him and Casgar, even if Hao Qi takes care of these ghosts, he and Casgar will never be able to fall asleep, and their spirits are tight.
It would be fine if Gus was alone, but now he still had to care about Casga and restrain his murderous intention at Casga from time to time. The physical and mental strength he put in was more than twice as much as he did when he traveled alone. After eleven days of this, he was finally extremely sleepy.
When the simple shelter was built, Gus sat in front of the fire and was a little sleepy. Although Casgar was not tied up by Gus as in the original work, nor was he afraid of Gus as in the original work, it was obvious that she had a deep fear of Gus and even had an inexplicable hatred for Gus.
(It's time that other members of the team will arrive, so I'd better not interfere.)
Hao Qi had long discovered that there were several robbers in a depression far away. Looking at Gus and Casgar now, he knew that this should be where a certain plot in the original work happened. It was this plot that allowed Gus and the others to meet a noble man and a woman, and they would join the team. Hao Qi did not intend to stop this because these people should be Gus' partners. It is precisely because of these partners that Gus could take Casgar to the Fairyland in the original work, rather than dying on the battlefield. It can be said that these people would bring some warmth to Gus, which was the warmth he could rarely feel since the Eagle Group.
"I'll go and catch a big prey, and have a good meal today." Hao Qi suddenly spoke.
Gus was stunned for a moment, but he was not surprised. Along the way, Hao Qi had made food, and there was basically no prey he could not catch. Moreover, Hao Qi had his own foodie attributes, and the food was particularly satisfying Gus and Kasca. Even Buck was very enthusiastic about Hao Qi, which was all the result of feeding.
After Hao Qi spoke, Buck said to Gus: "Gus, you are too tense. It's still early to dark now, so why not sleep for a while? I'll help me see if there is any situation."
Gus originally wanted to refuse, but he was really mentally trapped to the limit now. In addition, Hao Qi was still there. Even if Hao Qi was going to hunt wild beasts, with Hao Qi's strength, he could return in a very short time. So he pondered for a moment, then nodded and said to Buck: "I didn't expect that I would even bother you... Then I'll trouble you, I'll sleep a little."
Buck immediately saluted Gus, then waved his wooden stick and began to walk around and fly.
Gus nodded gratefully to Hao Qi, and then he slowly closed his eyes as Hao Qi walked away.
