The Dragon That Devours the World

Chapter 24: human nature? beast?

At the same time, in the endless deep sea, an unimaginable giant snake lies in the deepest part of the seabed and rests quietly. On the other side, watching the girl’s crying with interest, feeling the various things that come from the girl’s heart. Complicated emotions such as regret, fanaticism, jealousy, resentment, fear, etc., and their complex and changeable emotions make this big snake who has a human thinking mode but no complete human memory to see it with great interest.

   "Interesting."

   And the snake who feels all this is very satisfied with the choice he made.

Da Snake has no ambitions or desires, what he asks is just to satisfy his hunger and sleep, and since he swallowed the sun in his stomach, he has indeed been able to stop feeling hungry. In fact, that infinite heat, always radiating With the endless light and hot sun, he still stayed in his stomach completely at this moment.

Compared with those foods, this heater that makes Orochi feel extremely comfortable all over the body, it can be said that Orochi not only satisfies the original endless hunger, but also allows him time to think and pay attention to other things that he originally overlooked. s things.

  For example...

   Those small voices that often echoed in his ears.

Those small sounds appeared as long as the big snake was born, but the big snake who has been in a state of extreme hunger and has eaten a meal without a meal does not have the time and energy to pay attention to those sounds that are buzzing than mosquitoes. Not a lot of small voices.

   After the big snake swallowed the sun, such small voices suddenly became very many, and they kept increasing all of the time.

   But it just so happened that I was at the stage of drinking and eating, and finally had a leisurely mind to think about what these sounds are, and began to enthusiastically deal with the small sounds that entangled my ears at all times.

   "Please return the sun..."

"hope……"

   "……"

Numerous mixed and fragmented murmurs surround the snake's ears, some voices begging him to return the sun, some are worshipping her, some are making wishes to him, and some are even arrogant commands. He, scolded him.

  The masters of the voice vary. Some are scholars, some are kings, some are prophets, and some are ambitious usurpers, generals, nobles, pirates...

There are various voices, and all the voices that mention the name of Yemengarde will also be heard by the snake. However, after listening to some voices of prayer with interest, the snake quickly lost it. Interest, because there are too many prayers that are the same, nothing more than begging for strength, begging for wealth, or trying to offer him sacrifices of cattle and sheep, etc.

If it were before the big snake had swallowed the sun, the big snake might still be very interested in the cattle and sheep sacrifices. After all, it can fill his stomach, but now, the sun that never goes out is in his stomach. It's plump and tender, and the big snake is already lacking in this interest.

   However, not all the prayers and sacrifices, the serpent are not interested, there are also some things that can make the serpent quite interesting, such as...

   "A powerful and wise existence, humble mortals are here to offer sacrifices to you..."

   When he fell into a deep sleep, a murmured prayer came into his ears.

   Normally, this kind of sacrifice would not be taken care of by the big snake, and he did so, but the whispered prayer was different, and the other party was extremely stubborn and persistent.

   One sacrifice is not enough for two times, and two times is not enough for three times.

But just persistence is not enough to move the serpent. If you want to talk about persistence, another king, after listening to the opinions of the priest, used a hundred bulls as a sacrifice every day for more than ten days in a row, just to be able to In exchange for the sun, however, the serpent directly sneezed and turned into countless raging tornado storms, destroying the entire country under the rule of the wise king. Without him, the other party’s prayers were too great. It's annoying.

   But the most important thing is the other party’s sacrifice...

   A North warrior has only a few armors on his body, holding a battle axe in his hand, and fighting a black bear on the opposite side.

The North warrior was very brave, and the scars all over his body were enough to prove that the opponent was indeed a good warrior. But in the fight, he was caught off guard by the black bear, and he slapped his paw on the ground. Then the black bear directly bit his throat.

   There was excitement and cheers among the people around   

   And what came from the sound of prayer was not only the sound of prayer, but also the negative emotion of the warrior's unwillingness and despair before he died. It was this emotion that made Orochi feel a bit interesting.

He knows that there is a human memory in his body, or the memory of a human traverser. The things he thinks about problems are also in accordance with the human thinking mode. However, what puzzles him is that he fundamentally It is difficult to feel the complex and multi-faceted human nature when he was a human being, and the roots and methods that drove him to act are still the animal nature of beasts rather than the human nature in memory.

   At this point, he was even a little confused, whether he was a traverser named Meng who crossed onto a giant snake, or a giant snake acquired the memory of a traverser named Meng.

   In order to verify this, he decided to use this group of human tribes as experimental subjects.

  The experiment was very successful. When the female prophet was presiding over the sacrifice and was in an ethereal state, he tried to contact the other party, and the other party saw part of his appearance in an instant...

   However, it seems that for a mortal, the feeling is too shocking when he comes into contact with a huge existence that is so huge that she can't describe it in words.

   The sense of fear and shock instantly caused the opponent to withdraw from that ethereal state.

   However, Orochi left a mark in the depths of her soul after all. This mark made the prophet gradually transform into a half-human and half-snake shape, and incidentally affected several clans centered on her.

  Fanatical sacrifices, **** rituals, increasing worship and belief...

Compared with the consciousness of the serpent, the consciousness of human beings is too humble and insignificant. Even if it is just a simple gaze, the projected will of the serpent gradually affects and distorts the temperament of these mortals and makes this group of people. Mortals showed more complicated characters and dark sides under the observation of Orochi, and when Orochi watched the plots of these mortals’ conspiracy, betrayal, vendetta, fraud, etc., they were also able to gradually remember those in their own memory. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the incomplete human memory and these behaviors, which makes Da She feel very satisfied.

   But...

   "Sure enough, it still can't be substituted."

Watching a conspiracy betrayal between humans again, the plot is nothing more than two former friends. In this distressed situation, one of them was strangled to death by the dark side of the dark trail by taking advantage of the other's unpreparedness. Needless to say, hesitation, hesitation, and spiritual torture are naturally a little sparse and commonplace.

But looking at the world in front of him when he was still a human, it was enough to make a thirty-episode drama, but Da Snake clearly realized that he could not be substituted in it. It is interesting to see what happened between these humans. However, it is just like watching the plot of "Animal World" before. It can't be said that it is meaningless, but no matter what it is, it can't make him feel empathetic.

   The love for beautiful women, the greed for gold and silver, the desire for power...

  All kinds of desires are hard to find in the serpent, not because the serpent has no desire, but because the desire of the serpent is completely different from the desire of human beings.

   What the snake is chasing is to satisfy his own hunger, which belongs to the most primitive root desire, but human beings are chasing more and more complex desires.

   "Is it because I don't have any sense of identity with human identity."

What is the deep-seated reason for this? The snake couldn't figure it out, and he didn't want to think about it. For him, he would not deny the identity of the former human named Meng, but he would not go to the identity of the giant snake. deny.

   Or, both are him, he is him, a giant snake with human thinking mode and beast nature.

   Those incomplete human memories, he didn't intend to pursue them, and he didn't mind his past and origins. Anyway, it was a thing of the past, so he didn't bother to pay attention to it.

   After silently comparing the human emotions that I saw with my own eyes and the human emotions in my memory, this group of clans lost their value in the eyes of the snake.

   The only thing that Orochi did not expect was that there was another person who could resist his own spiritual infection, so that Orochi was quite surprised. Under curiosity, he did not hesitate to show an illusory incarnation, but...

After all, mortals are still mortals~www.wuxiahere.com~ Even mortals with some special talents are mortals after all, but because they are in a state of dying, when the heart guards fall, they are instantly defeated when they see the appearance of the serpent. All the spiritual defenses...

   completely broken.

Although a little disappointed and boring, the snake generously swallowed the sacrifices that crazily worshipped and praised him, and the girl was not swallowed by him. After all, she was not infected by his will, crazy, and did not He offered all those crazy and perverted evil desires, and it was not a sacrifice at all.

   is different from the self-righteous understanding of the female prophet. Although she vaguely perceives that the serpent likes human desires, she does not perceive...

   Da Snake didn't regard the sacrifices placed on the altar as sacrifices at all. The real sacrifices were actually the crowds who sacrificed to him madly.

   The evil, twisted, and corrupt souls and behaviors between them are the sacrifices that the snake is really interested in and really want.

   There is always only one real sacrifice ceremony.

   A group of human beings who are gradually crazily depraved and distorted are the real rituals and sacrifices.

   "Since you want the sun, then I will give you the sun... From now on, be with the sun forever."

   Orochi is quite generous. As long as the sacrifice is successful, the mortal’s wish Orochi is still willing to satisfy and will not breach the contract.

   But besides that, Orochi is actually thinking about another thing...

   "I... Yemengarde?"

   "Tor? Odin? Did I cross into Norse mythology?"

   After a long period of time, this big snake finally realized from the prayers of his prayers that he was originally in Norse mythology.
