The host is a willful great devil

Zero still insisted that I lock him up.

This cannot fundamentally prevent the annihilation of parallel universes, because the "will" of all parallel universes has a direct connection with me and zero.Imprisoning Zero is just the most direct way to prevent him from doing damage with his bare hands.But if you want to eliminate the influence of Zero's will on the parallel universe...

Only he dies.

I thought about how the consciousness of the universe "woke up".

A hypothesis—the consciousness of the universe is the comprehensive manifestation of the consciousness of the conscious life forms evolved in all parallel universes.

This could explain why we interact with each other.

It can also explain why Zero has such a serious tendency to violence. After all, there are only a small number of creatures with rational thinking ability, and the vast majority of creatures are still in the stage of the jungle law that respects "force supremacy" just for survival.

If this assumption holds true, even if there is a way to erase zero, it cannot be done.

Because when the universe split itself, it gave me most of my sanity, in other words, I have very little emotion.

The world under the control of rationality is an inaccessible ice field, which is too boring.

Coax Zero well and let his emotions settle down.

According to his wishes, isolate him from the control room, let him face the endless nothingness alone, and a boring me who returns to him after finally repairing all the parallel universes.

Then I watched him lose control of his emotions again after a cycle, hitting and scolding me, rushing towards me frantically and screaming to destroy the thousands of worlds that were constantly arguing in his mind.

In the end, he will "discover his conscience", and then weep bitterly.

I'll coax him well again, then lock him outside the control room, and take No. 2-9 to silently restore those salvageable parallel universes...

Vicious circle?

Oh, right.

But, for me, cleaning up the mess left by my madness is the only joy in my life.

I don't like him who is well-behaved.

Because at that time, he imprisoned himself in his own world, relying on his own strength, desperately suppressing his manic instinct.

And I can only watch, helpless.

I like him crazy.

Because he was alive at that time, and his whole body exuded intense and strong emotions, like a bolt of lightning, shaking this cold and mechanical space.

Then he will be vulnerable and will need me.

He would curl up in my arms and cry begging me not to be so tender and tolerant to a "sinful" man like him.

He would also beg me to punish him severely.

If I couldn't bear it, he'd secretly bruise himself badly, and then give me a big, relieved smile on my shocked face.

"So you want to be punished?" I pressed him down and gritted my teeth.

I just don't have those impulsive primal instincts, but I'm not without emotion.

Do you know that when you do this, it makes me feel...

I'm so useless.

"One, punish me. I beg you not to spoil me like this. Your tenderness is like a knife." Zero stared into my eyes, laughing so that all sentient beings turned pale.

I leaned down and kissed him, and asked in a low voice, "Do you know what you are like now, is there a word that suits you?"

I didn't expect Zero to know, and I didn't mean to ask him to answer.But Zero spoke the answer.We speak in unison——

"Shake M."

"That's easy to say."

……

"One, try harder, hurt me... hurt me~!...I like this pain, I like it...I like this pain..."

……

At that time, I finally realized the thrill of breaking out of the cage of primitive and savage instincts that could not be suppressed with reason and kindness.

Zero... has been submerged in such a raging tide?

Until the scarlet everywhere woke up my reason.And the dilapidated Zero still stared at me and laughed indulgently, "That's it...that's it, Zero, it hurts me, hurry up, don't stop. I beg you, don't stop...or I will feel bad..."

Tell me to use cruel means to hurt you, so as to soothe the strong sense of guilt in your heart.

Then who will save my bleeding heart?

I leaned close to Zero and told him, "You have no right to ask me to do this."

"...One?" Zero looked at me, puzzled.

"Call me 'master', you sinful 'slave'."

There was a strange gleam in those beautiful eyes, and she lowered her eyelids, and replied in a low voice, "Yes, master."

It seems that the smile is happier than before.

Sighing secretly, I continued to "order" and said, "From now on, everything about you is mine, and without my order, you are not allowed to do anything... to your body."

The long eyelashes flickered, and Ling responded obediently, "Yes, master."

"If you feel uncomfortable and endure it, that is the real punishment."

Self-harm because of guilt?child?

"Yes, Master."

"Very good, very good." I kissed Zero, repairing and erasing those scars on his body, "As a reward, I'll let you experience... happy things."

Zero is very obedient, obedient, and dedicated...

It just looks.

Because those scars that I erased quickly resurfaced.

That was the state he expected from the bottom of his heart, and I couldn't change it.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Master, I don't want to...Master, don't cry. If you cry, I will feel even more uncomfortable..." Zero hugged me, full of apology.

"I'm a useless 'Master', so stop calling me that..."

I finally realized that this is an out-and-out vicious circle.

And it's getting worse and worse.

Zero started showing boredom.

To isolate his space.

for me.

"I want to go outside to play." He blocked me at the door of the control room. In his beautiful eyes, there were paranoia, impatience, and surly...

Clearly there are so many emotions, but it seems lifeless.

"Outside?" I asked.

How can there be "outside"?

Zero passed through me, and his eyes fell on the tangled silky light.Then he turned his eyes back to my face and smiled at me, "You know, my 'spiritual connection' with them is much stronger than yours."

……so?

In the next instant, Zero's figure disappeared.

disappear? !

"Master." Number 2 called me.

Looking back, I saw Zero falling out of a ray of light, and the originally intact ray of light quickly scorched black, peeled off from the "bird's nest" by itself, fluttered down and turned into smoke and dust.

I hurried over to help Ling up, "What did you do?"

"Ah, it's broken again..." Ling stared at the place where the light dissipated, and whispered to himself.

I hugged him into my arms and comforted, "It's okay, it's okay."

It's just one piece, it's much better than when you rushed in and destroyed a large area in one go.

Although... whether they are bad or not, I don't care at all.

All I care about is zero.

If it hadn't been for letting the broken parallel universes have a serious impact on Zero's mood, I wouldn't be bothered to fix these broken lights over and over again.

"I saw myself!" Zero calmed down quickly this time, he grabbed my arm and said with a curious face, "They called me 'God' and enshrined many statues of me~"

I smiled and touched his face, bowed my head and kissed him.

Because I like you, I made a little move on those worlds with beliefs.Even if there is only a little bit, I hope their devout prayers can bring you a moment of peace.

"It's fun outside!"

Zero's eyes were shining.I have never seen him so happy.

But... what can Zero do in the blink of an eye?

Ah!

I was really dominated by human thinking and forgot such an important thing!

For me and Zero, there is no passage of time.What happened a thousand years ago in the parallel universe and what happened a thousand years later, for me and Zero, are like two paintings on a piece of paper, presented at the same time.

So, zero entering and falling out of the parallel universe, it seems to me, happened almost at the same time.And zero...

"How long have you been there?"

"According to what they said...three years?"

I actually left Zero's side and let him wander alone for three years? !

"Look! Because of your willfulness, another parallel universe has been annihilated! So many creatures have died!" I taught harshly.

I'm sorry, I'm so useless, I can't even do something like guarding you...

"I'm going to confinement..." Zero stood up and said weakly.

That's how he is, he can't help but start to go crazy, and when his desire for destruction is satisfied, he will immediately become obedient.

So good that it hurts.

"Wait." I held him back, "I have an idea. It can not only satisfy your desire to play outside, but also reduce the number of parallel universes you destroy."

"Really?! What? Tell me?" Zero was very excited.

Killing one person can save 100 people. Whether it is a moral or a philosophical problem, I don't want to think about it.

All I know is that this may be the only escape door in this spiral downward staircase.

I only know that if I do it, the unhealthy me and the unhealthy zero may become more and more complete.

The author has something to say: In the first world, Gu Yan kept dreaming, dreaming that a man was beating him up.The reason is in this chapter.

In the first world, Gu Yan saw that the statue of the God of Light was the same as his own.The reason is in this chapter.

But these small details, probably Ni Meng has forgotten, haha.
