Chapter 737 Something is wrong with that NPC (47)
How could Yun Shen not understand his little wolf cub? He saw through Huo Xing's thoughts at a glance, but now was not the time to let his little wolf cub think freely. Yun Shen interrupted Huo Xing who was deep in thought and said, "Brother, why are you silent?"
Huo Xing was awakened by Yun Shen, and hurriedly put away his thoughts, and then whispered: "You can't be together, let go as soon as possible."
Yun Shen asked in confusion: "Brother, since Ah Xu is also a real person, why can't we be together?"
Huo Xing replied in a deep voice: "Because Xiao Xu is already... dead. The one in the game is just a part of his consciousness. He doesn't even have any memory of the real world."
Huo Xing had no intention of telling the truth before he came. In this world, only he and Butler Huo knew this secret, and he had no intention of letting anyone else know.
But he didn't want to hide it from Yun Shen anymore. Huo Xing couldn't tell whether he told the truth out of selfish motives, but he just wanted to tell Yun Shen.
Yun Shen smiled, "Really? But I don't believe he is dead."
Huo Xing frowned, "You don't believe me?"
When Huo Xing said this, there was a hint of grievance in his voice. He was clearly telling the truth, so why didn't Yun Shen believe him?
Yun Shen said word by word: "Believe it, but even if he dies, I have a way to bring him back to life."
Huo Xing wanted to say that Yun Shen was daydreaming. Huo Xu's body had already been cremated, so how could he come back to life?
But looking at Yun Shen's extremely serious expression, Huo Xing finally did not say this.
Huo Xing lowered his eyes sadly. It seemed that Yun Shen really liked Xiao Xu. He should be happy for Xiao Xu, but why was he so sad?
Huo Xing was immersed in his own thoughts. After a while, Yun Shen suddenly asked, "Brother, don't you feel a little sleepy?"
Huo Xing looked up at Yun Shen in confusion. Before he could say anything, he felt his eyelids gradually becoming heavy. Huo Xing subconsciously held the armrest of the sofa. The next second, Huo Xing's eyes went dark and he passed out, completely losing consciousness.
Yun Shen had anticipated this and caught Huo Xing's fallen body in time, and gently placed him on the sofa.
That cup of bitter coffee was not just to punish his little wolf cub for being disobedient. The most important thing was that Yun Shen put a sleeping pill in that cup of bitter coffee.
Yun Shen looked at Huo Xing who was sleeping on the sofa, and remembered what his little wolf cub had said before about him not being vigilant. It was his little wolf cub who should have said that to him. Yun Shen shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Yun Shen formed a seal with his left hand, put his right index and middle fingers together, touched Huo Xing's brows with his fingertips, and began to perform the soul-searching technique.
As the soul-searching technique was used, a silver lotus gradually emerged on Huo Xing's forehead. However, this silver lotus was incomplete, and it was missing three petals.
Yun Shen withdrew his hand in surprise. This silver lotus represented the soul of his little wolf cub, that is, the three souls and seven spirits of his little wolf cub.
Logically speaking, this silver lotus should have ten petals, representing the three souls and seven spirits, and each lotus petal represents one soul or one spirit.
Although this is only a fragment of his little wolf cub's soul, in every small world, the fragment of his little wolf cub's soul should be a healthy soul.
If the soul-searching technique is used, the lotus that emerges should be complete, not incomplete.
There is only one possibility in this situation now, that is, his little wolf cub's three souls and seven spirits are incomplete, and one soul and two spirits are missing.
Yun Shen suddenly realized that he might have been wrong before. Although Huo Xing and Huo Xu have different personalities, it does not mean that they are not a whole.
A person's three souls and seven spirits can be divided into three souls and seven spirits, as the name suggests.
The three souls are divided into: spiritual soul (heavenly soul, main soul), conscious soul (earthly soul, visual soul), and life soul (human soul, elephant soul).
The seven souls are divided into: joy, anger, sorrow, fear, love, hate, and desire.
If a person loses part of his soul, then the lost part of his soul and his personality may be completely different, because the lost part of the soul takes away what the original body has lost.
For example, if a person loses his two souls of joy and sorrow, he will become a person who is neither sad nor happy, and the two souls he lost will make him a sentimental person.
If Huo Xu himself is a part of Huo Xing's soul, then everything can be explained.
Yun Shen lightly touched the silver lotus with his fingertips, and with the help of the soul-searching technique, Yun Shen finally knew the whole truth.
Huo Xing did have a twin brother named Huo Xu, and Huo Xu was indeed dead, but Huo Xu had died ten years ago, in a car accident along with their parents.
Ten years ago, when Huo Xing was 15 years old, a sudden car accident took away all his relatives, leaving only an old housekeeper who depended on him for life.
Huo Xing sadly took care of the funeral affairs of his parents and younger brother, and then took over the family technology company. All the burdens fell on Huo Xing's shoulders, and Huo Xing quickly grew from a teenager into a responsible man.
When Huo Xing was 20 years old, holographic technology had already matured, and various holographic games emerged one after another. Huo Xing also had a bold idea. He wanted to resurrect his brother. This resurrection of course did not refer to the body, but to consciousness.
Huo Xing used his lifelong learning to personally design a game called "Swordsman" because Huo Xu had been interested in martial arts since he was a child.
Huo Xing's method of resurrecting Huo Xu is to make Huo Xu alive in the holographic game. Huo Xing personally designed the NPC Huo Xu and opened all the privileges in the game for Huo Xu. This is why Huo Xu can exercise his player rights normally and trigger system announcements.
But an NPC is just an NPC after all. No matter how smart he is, he cannot be compared with a real person.
In order to make Huo Xu a truly self-aware NPC, Huo Xing found a way to separate part of his own consciousness and transferred it to Huo Xu.
From then on, Huo Xu became a unique and highly intelligent NPC with Huo Xing's consciousness.
But Huo Xu does not have Huo Xing's memories. In his consciousness, the holographic game "Swordsman" is the world he lives in, and he is a person in this world.
After doing all this, Huo Xing fainted due to weakness. Fortunately, Butler Huo found him in time and sent him to the hospital.
Huo Xing was in a coma for a whole month, and when he woke up, his memory was a little confused.
In Huo Xing's confused memory, the car accident only took the lives of his parents, while his twin brother Huo Xu became a vegetable.
Later, Huo Xu's body functions gradually failed. In order to keep his brother alive, Huo Xing extracted his brother's consciousness into the game, turning him into an NPC with no real memory.
