The mess Cain left behind back then was too big, and it was not easy to make up for it now.
But since Cain is willing to take responsibility, at least things are getting better.
——Although in strict terms, it is actually not her responsibility.
Today's "Little Cain" is in a sense Lucia, who has obtained some of the memories of Blood Tiansi. Others don't understand, but Evas understands too much... Isn't this state exactly the same as Evas on the day when the Shadow Demon summoned?
It is also the memory and emotions that remain intact, and the part of the memory of the incomplete "Sacred" is obtained; it is also the part of the incomplete memory that is regarded as part of oneself, as one's own "previous life", and is willing to bear the consequences and responsibilities for it.
That's why Evas repeatedly asked Lucia "how many memories there are." This is actually confirming Lucia's personal wishes and determination.
No one can understand Lucia better than Avas - becoming a chess piece for Huantiansi and wiping the butt for Xuetiansi, both of these things are not essentially good at work. Once the fog demon king is put on, it will be difficult to take it off.
Because of this, Aivas planned to help her.
After Aivas returned to his residence and told her about this to Sherlock and Isabel, they all fell into deep thought.
“…It’s also a solution.”
Sherlock thought for a moment, touched his chin, and frowned slightly, "But I feel this is not the best way."
"The mist demon and the moon son are different."
Aivas shook his head slightly: "The biggest difference is that the fog demon can only live with the fog demon, but the son of Yue cannot. The son of Yue cannot absorb the blood of the same clan, so he needs to use ordinary people as food. As the path to love, the illusion demon, the desire for appetite, lust, the desire for killing and the desire for satisfaction, forming a strong desire. This leads to the fact that if the son of Yue gathers together, the size of the blood slave will also increase.
"But the fog demon is not a pure illusion of love paths. Just like the shadow demon is a transcendent illusion of Taoism that controls the power of love, the fog demon also controls the power of dedication. They can help each other to relieve the impulse of Taoism, just like the elves of the country. So the fog demon does not need to live with other races."
"——The problem is also here, fox."
Sherlock pointed out one of the blind spots sharply: "This also means that the racial expansion of the fog demon is not subject to natural conditions."
"Is it restricted..."
"That's right. Just like in a natural environment, if there are more rabbits, the grass will become less, and the wolf will increase - because the food of the wolf increases. As the grass decreases, the wolf increases, the rabbits will become less. The same is true for the son of the moon."
The detective sighed: "Although it is hard to say that...the son of Moon is a wolf that preys on rabbits. If there are more wolves, fewer rabbits will be. The son of Moon is rampant and cannot find the blood slave, causing trouble. Therefore, the number of Moon's sons will decrease due to external interference or internal variables such as Hawkeye.
"It is precisely because of this situation that although the son of the Moon can assimilate new individuals through blood resurrection, or can produce pure or mixed-blood son of the Moon through normal reproduction... But the birth of the son of the Moon actually means that the predator increases out of thin air. They will fight for their own food.
"From this perspective, the Moon Son will control the number of ethnic groups to a certain extent, so as not to have too many ethnic groups competing for food with them. The internal culture of the Moon Son Sons recognizes this phenomenon as a kind of "arrogance of identity", that is, people with poor status cannot join their race.
"——But, the fog demon has no such restrictions."
Sherlock said slowly.
His meaning is very simple.
The new fog demon will not affect the quality of life of the old fog demon - unlike the lunar son, it will cause negative feedback due to food problems. The fog demon does not even need to eat, and can survive by just drinking water. This means that they will not squeeze each other's living environment due to work pay.
So for such races that will not die as long as they take good care of themselves, will they continue to increase, not decrease?
"When the fog demon expands to a certain limit, the fog will become a fog city, the fog city will become a fog island, and the fog island will become a fog country. Because they can live happily without anything, it means that there will be no obvious contradictions and conflicts within them. And they do not have the twilight characteristic of "keep everything unchanged" like elves... So sooner or later, the fog demon will spread out.
"But people in other places have to live for costs. Their population is also expanding and their living space is decreasing. When the fog demon comes out to compete with them for living space, it will trigger new conflicts - even wars. It is not the inside and the inside, but the inside and the outside."
Sherlock looked at Evas and asked word by word: "That's a life-and-death race war. And humans can be transformed into fog demons, but fog demons cannot be transformed into humans... What are you going to do at that time?"
This is a pretty sharp question.
But Aivas didn't think this was something that could not be solved.
"This is not a problem, Sherlock."
Aivas said frankly: "What you said will only happen a few hundred or even thousands of years later.
"Not only about the fog demon and Wu Tiansi watching, if there is an irreversible situation, you can pull Wu Tiansi down and completely solve it... Just like Blood Tiansi, it fundamentally erases the specificity of this race.
"And what you are worried about is too limited to the current era. I ask you, what do you think of the fog demon who does not need to eat, but can survive infinitely by just purifying water?"
"fear."
Sherlock replied without hesitation: "This means that they are nobler than humans' ways of existence. It means that the way of love is nobler than other ways. It means that the short-lived species of human beings should be completely eliminated and the living space is given to this new human being."
“But my opinion is—opportunity.”
Aivas shook his head and said to the two: "You can produce unlimited resources without resources. This is a perpetual motion machine.
"The fog demon has the power to dedicate the way of Tao, which means that part of their power comes from the source river of 'civilization'. What can you think of the fusion of civilization and creation?"
“…Yantiansi?”
Isabel asked uncertainly: "It seems like this is the combination of He."
When Sherlock heard Aivas's words, he didn't answer immediately.
He thought something and seemed to understand Aivas's thoughts.
"you mean……"
Sherlock frowned slightly and asked in disbelief: "You want the fog demon to go to the factory to be a worker? Because they don't need to eat, sleep, don't pay, don't die, and are willing to work for others... But the fog is a huge harm to the machine."
"It's not just factories, but Sherlock. There are many positions in this world, and they can actually be handed over to machines to complete without cost. The difference between the fog demon and them is that they also have the ability to create."
Aivas said seriously: "You said the fog demon is a new human that can replace humans... I think this is half true. They cannot replace humans because the fog demon does not have the adaptability of the Nine Great Ways, they only have love and dedication. This can only be regarded as a new race - and the fog demon specially sets that the fog demon cannot reproduce, which is actually a control over quantity.
"For humans who have sought a lot, I think they are closer to an "assistant" than replacing humans. The resources required by both sides are completely different and can be completely symbiotic. It is not possible at the moment, just because a low-cost, stable, universal way of living without affecting other humans has not been developed. But technology is improving - as long as there is a demand, it is very simple to solve the demand. Not to mention, this demand itself is not difficult to solve."
“…Star Crystal Man?”
Isabel, who was standing by, immediately remembered the race of servants in Atlantis.
