A Higher Self?
On the Shadow.
Qin Yiguan stood facing a glass panel, quietly observing himself.
Having only swallowed that small piece of white meat, his body had recovered considerably, and the agonizing hunger had vanished.
His brow furrowed slightly. "What's in my head? Get out!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hahaha!"
A deep, resonant laugh echoed in Qin Yiguan's mind, with overlapping reverberations, like the laughter of gods and demons.
Qin Yiguan pursed his lips. "Stop laughing. Tell me, what are you?"
"Hahaha!"
The voice was deep and powerful. "Boy, you're lucky to be able to hear me. You don't even understand what kind of luck that is!"
In Qin Yiguan's mind, a tall figure gradually emerged. It had well-proportioned muscles and was very fit. Its arms were almost as long as its knees. Just by standing there casually, it exuded a strong aura.
"Where have I seen this size before..."
Qin Yiguan's narrowed eyes suddenly lit up, "Starvation Corpse?!"
"That's right."
"I am Starvation Corpse."
The figure looked up, its eyes glowing red. "I was originally a creature created by Zhichun, but over the years, she has refined me, transforming me into an independent being. Among you humans, there is a secret: everyone has a hidden ' Higher Self ' within their mind!"
"Over the past three years, I have become Zhichun's ' Higher Self '!"
"I know this word is difficult for you to understand."
But Qin Yiguan suddenly interrupted, saying, "As far as I know, the ' Higher Self Self' is a higher-dimensional version of yourself. When our Fusion Rate reaches 100%, similar to a cognitive awakening, we will receive assistance from the ' Higher Self.' You are not a higher-dimensional Zhichun at all; you are just a monster created by your own thoughts. Stop trying to glorify yourself."
"You..."
The Starvation Corpse paused, then said, "You actually understand ' Higher Self '?"
Qin Yiguan looked up and said, "I know a little."
Then the Starvation Corpse said, "I don't know why, but a new ' Higher Self ' appeared in Zhichun's mind, and I was replaced by it. Zhichun calls it a ' Victim '?"
Qin Yiguan paused slightly.
Although he found it unbelievable, he understood the underlying principle.
The Starvation Corpse once lived as an independent consciousness in Zhichun's mind, and even referred to themselves as Zhichun's "Higher Self".
As a result, Zhichun, influenced by her own suggestion, used [Logic Completion Fantasy Syndrome] to create another "Higher Self," which is the Victim!
Therefore, the Starvation Corpse were abandoned!
The essence of this matter is that Zhichun created a monster using her consciousness, and then this monster became part of her own consciousness?!
It's like an exchange of ideas?!
"You were previously infested by Hunger Particle, which is why there's a connection between us."
The Starvation Corpse cried out, "After I was replaced, my entire consciousness converged into your mind. I chose you, making you the new generation's lucky one!"
"Perhaps I am not truly my Higher Self,' but my abilities are almost identical to those of my Higher Self '!"
"Those materialized Starvation Corpse you saw before were just one of my most ordinary abilities!"
"Hahaha!"
The Starvation Corpse laughed loudly, "I can grant you immense power. In the future, I can make you the most powerful being among humankind!"
"Zhichun, although she created me, her talent is still far inferior to yours!"
"Kid, your Qin Yiguan, right?"
"Remember that mutated creature from before, remember that white flesh."
"I only eat that kind of food; it makes me stronger and stronger, and in the process, I will borrow some of your strength when the time is right."
"In this way, you will gain power that ordinary people cannot imagine or compare to! And Infinity Future!"
Qin Yiguan paused slightly. "So, I possess the legendary cheat system?"
"Ha ha!"
"What's a cheat code? I don't know!"
All I know is that your future depends entirely on me!
"Qin Yiguan, kneel down before me!"
You must acknowledge me as your master!
"From now on, you must do everything in your power to search for food for me!"
"As long as I'm happy, I'll reward you appropriately!"
The Starvation Corpse roared to the sky, "You, Qin Yiguan! Kneel down and call me master!!!"
Qin Yiguan looked at himself in the mirror. The Starvation Corpse seemed to stand behind him like a huge black shadow. He slowly said, "You are nothing but a fragment of my consciousness. Do you expect me to be your slave?"
"I am more than just a consciousness!"
"I am a new life form!"
The Starvation Corpse roared again in fury, "You, kneel before me..."
At that very moment.
The Starvation Corpse suddenly froze.
It felt a chill run down its spine.
Its neck was a little stiff, and it turned its head inch by inch.
His red Pupil suddenly contracted.
The Starvation Corpse saw a Silver-Winged Yaksha, ten meters tall and twice its own size, standing behind it!
And after this Yaksha...
There also stands a 50-meter-tall, six-winged angel whose face is obscured!
The Starvation Corpse stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and at that moment, it felt gazes coming from in front of it.
It turned back, stunned.
But then twelve figures appeared, standing in the darkness.
They varied in height and physical condition, but each exuded an incomparably mysterious and unpredictable aura.
The Starvation Corpse's body stiffened, its tongue stammering, "Qin Yiguan, how can there be so many people in your world of consciousness?!"
Then, the Starvation Corpse's red eyes widened dramatically as it suddenly realized, "This... could it be twelve ' Higher Self '?"
"Hehe."
Qin Yiguan smiled. He couldn't share the Starvation Corpse's perspective now, but he could already guess what the Starvation Corpse was seeing.
The next moment.
Qin Yiguan said calmly, "Starvation Corpse, you are a very unique existence, a kind of 'consciousness monster.' Perhaps, if you were to reside in the mind of an ordinary person, you could truly exert an effect similar to a ' Higher Self.' Ordinary humans do indeed crave such an opportunity."
"But."
Unfortunately.
Qin Yiguan's smile was twisted and strange. "In my eyes, you can only be a dog!"
