The Righteous Player(s)

Vol 2 Chapter 120: Because i'm a girl living in the painting

   "Is that... a living thing?"

  Annan was a little surprised.

   This manipulator, which has no semi-physical structure at all, gained life out of thin air.

   It is not a clockwork doll with pure mechanical structure...or a "hand puppet". It can act on its own, not because of the driving of gears and clockwork, nor because of the operation of spells in the air, and it is not because Javon put a simulated soul in it.

   is simple...the moment Yaon "completed" it, he gained his own new life. Although it is still a little immature, like a pure white paper child just born, it does already exist in the world.

   "Can you act even without a soul...?"

   Annan couldn't help asking.

   Yaweng just squinted at him.

   While packing the carving knife in his hand, he said slowly: "Who stipulates that you must have a soul in order to be alive? Or, it must be a human-shaped soul that you understand to be called a soul?

   "The thousands of worlds connected in series by the river of dreams, can it be that only our world has ‘living things’?"

  ...... It seems to be true.

  Annan nodded slowly.

   Yaweng is right.

   The mortal souls are shallow and empty as nothing, but they can still survive normally. They don't even realize that they don't have enough formed souls to be observed.

   So the other way around-why must an object have a soul before it can be regarded as a "living thing"?

   In other words, what is the difference between a living thing and a living thing?

  ——Is there any flesh and blood? Is there a soul? Do you need to breathe? Can it be memorized? Can you think? Will it die?

   Thinking of this, Annan paused.

   He seemed to understand—what kind of posture did "Zhiji" exist when it was still a painting.

   At first, Annan thought it was some kind of automatic response program that Yaon had set up in advance. Just like a desktop pet, what kind of response will it make when it hears what it says. Perhaps it is the character of the simulated old grandmother, or perhaps it is the old grandmother that Yaon understands.

   But now...According to Annan’s new knowledge of Yaweng, he is probably not the one who would do that kind of thing.

   In fact, for Yaweng's work, it is a kind of superfluous, but it will add craftsmanship.

   If there is no accident, it should be the moment this painting is completed, "Paper Princess" has already gained his own life. It was a life that was so ignorant and pure as white paper.

   Back then, countless people were touched by the love between Zhiji and the dragon, which crossed the real and the false, and some people laughed at the illusory and ethereal love of the dragon. But everyone, including the former Annan, believed that before Zhi Ji used the power of the Book of Truth and completely turned into a god, she "doesn't really exist."

   After all, before that painting fell into the hands of that giant dragon, it had already dealt with many people. Gods, dragons, elves...

   Among them, there are many transcendents of the golden rank or priests above the bishop rank, and even righteous gods other than the old grandmother. Of course they can see that in this "magic painting that moves, roars, and can attack people outside the painting", there is indeed no soul sealed, let alone any mentality.

   What kind of action is made, how the silver dragon in the painting will respond, and the "script" that can respond is fixed and limited. And these rules all correspond one to one, as if they were all set by Yaweng in advance.

   At that time, everyone thought it was just a spell that could be called a "magic painting".

   However, the dragon named "Pygmalion Gladini" barely left his cave for two hundred years. He just watched the silver dragon flying in the painting obsessively and chatted with him in dragon language.

   In order to make a living, he no longer collects money as a dragon, but sells the treasure he has collected-but he is worried that this painting will be "lonely".

   He even preached that he would spend the rest of his life with this painting.

   Even Silver Sir thinks that Pygmalion has been obsessed with something crazy. Not to mention his fellow dragons... Many of them came to persuade him, but Pygmalion drove them all out. Others asked Yaon whether he created a magical painting that can confuse people, but Yaon did not respond to this.

   Now it seems...

   Maybe everyone, including Silver Jazz, was wrong.

  Only "Pygmalion Gladini" is correct.

   Even though the original paper girl had no soul or mind, it was indeed alive. The extremely attentive and meticulous dragon is different from its predecessor holders... It is truly aware of the confusion and loneliness of the magic painting, and does not treat it as a painting, but as a friend. .

   In this process, they have already fallen in love.

   Even if there is no body, no soul, no mind...maybe even no memory. Love can also be born from it.

   It only takes two hearts to get closer.

   Since Zhiji can't change her behavior. Then the dragon will try to transform its soul.

   It's just that no matter how the dragon confesses or expresses his love, he can only get a predetermined response; and no matter how high the love in Zhiji's heart is, he can only say what he should say.

In this dialogue that is full of mechanical feeling, in fact, there is no real conversation at all; in this dialogue that is full of loving gaze, but always answering the question... What is hidden is that two stars can never meet, but are equally hot heart of.

   At that moment, Annan seemed to see the two people facing each other on the inside and outside of the screen, as if they were touching through a mirror ~ www.wuxiaspot.com~ no matter which side is real or which side is mirrored.

  ——In the end, only one person can leave the mirror.

   Pygmalion did not ultimately use the power of "Falsehood and Reality" to turn the non-existent Zhiji from "illusory" into reality.

   Although, when facing inquiries from other gods, Zhiji always smiled softly and nostalgic, admitting that this was the sacrifice made by Pygmalion... but it was also her love for the dragon.

   Actually, she had already existed before that...

   "...that's how it is."

  Annan blurted out: "So Pygmalion..."

   He was only irritated by his own book of truth!

   "Falsehood and Reality" tells the dragon, "Zhiji is false and does not exist". And the power of the Book of Truth allows him to distort the absolute boundary between the false and the truth, making Zhi Ji become "a falsehood that is infinitely close to reality."

   But...

   Another doubt appeared in Annan's mind.

   Yaweng seems to have guessed Annan's thoughts.

   The old man said slowly: "Are you thinking, why is the book of truth wrong?"
