Shepherd Tantra

Chapter 704 Aiwass and Aleister
Aiwass stared at No. 14 in a daze - at the same time, his complex expression of astonishment, wonder and excitement was also transmitted into his own mind through No. 14's sight.

Long black hair, scarlet eyes, and a delicate little face like a doll...

It was completely different from the weak, shivering and helpless temperament of the "Blood Slave No. 14" in the dream - at this moment, the "dark side of Aiwass" that was separated with the power of the fourth level of transcendence had an indescribable sense of danger and evil.

She was wearing a pure white lace dress without any decoration, but she looked like a young lady. She held her head high and looked at Aiwass, who was much taller than her, with a reserved, calm and arrogant look. There was no expression on her face, giving people the feeling of "expressionless coldness" and "smiling contempt".

——In a trance, Aiwass finally recalled where this temperament came from.

It was the shadow demon Bayard when he was a child!
Perhaps it was because he had obtained some of Bayard's memories when he sealed the Night Demon... Aiwass had a deep impression of her childhood. Now, No. 14's eyebrows and eyes looked a bit like Bayard.

If she and Bayard appeared together, they would easily be mistaken for mother and daughter.

At this moment, Aiwass's right hand, No. 14's left hand...their palms were touching each other.

No. 14's slender and white middle finger was only less than half the length of Aiwass's middle finger. Aiwass's fingers were already slender and long, but compared to No. 14's, they seemed to be much thicker out of thin air, and had a solid and powerful feeling.

Aiwass could clearly feel the strange texture of No. 14's cold and smooth skin - like a jade pendant that had been placed on the outside of the clothes for a long time and was suddenly stuffed inside the clothes.

At the same time, No. 14 could also feel the burning palm of Aiwass.

It was like being outside in the cold wind for a long time in winter and suddenly entering a warm room; or walking for a long time with water dripping from your body after taking a bath and then being surrounded by a warm and dry bath towel... She couldn't help shivering, feeling the heat invading her body unilaterally.

But the common point is that when the two people are in close contact with each other, the excruciating pain deep in their brains as if their souls are being cut is immediately soothed.

The degree of relief is like the difference between taking painkillers or not when you have a fever and a headache... It is the degree to which an originally anxious heart can instantly calm down and endure silently.

The two of them remained silent for a long time, with their fingers touching each other, before Aiwass suddenly spoke up: "It's such a wonderful feeling..."

“It’s not quite right to say that the left hand draws a circle and the right hand draws a square,” No. 14 followed up with a complaint, “It’s more like watching a drama and chatting at the same time… The brain can actually be used in parallel without any hindrance.”

Lily, who was standing by, opened her eyes wide immediately: "So fast...?!"

Although the "Egg-Moon Secret Sutra" and the "Gap between the Two Principles" are completely different ways of dividing the path, she couldn't fully adapt to the feeling of separation and bonding for even a day or two - and this was based on the fact that Lily and Selene had completely different personalities.

Judging from the expressions of Aiwass and No. 14, they did not seem to have much conflict. It was entirely possible to identify these two bodies as the same consciousness.

"My situation is different from yours, Lily."

No. 14 chuckled, her childish but slightly hoarse voice sounding like a poem in the evening breeze: "You want to separate from Selene as much as possible, permanently. The weak connection between you is just an adhesion that has not been severed... Just like after amputation, there will still be phantom pain. It's as if the limb still exists.

"But the situation between me and Aiwass is different - although we are separated by Yin and Yang, we will eventually come back together. Before that, we have to concentrate on moving forward in our respective directions."

"The separation of yin and yang...it sounds like you are going to die."

Aiwass complained: "Don't die, okay? Be safe, and remember not to go too far."

He clearly felt that the close connection between him and No. 14 was gradually fading. It was as if they were originally chatting while watching a play, but at some point the sound of the play became a kind of white noise that was subconsciously ignored.

And the feeling was even clearer where the palms of their hands were connected.

Originally, it was as familiar as the left hand touching the right hand, but the experience of tactile resonance became increasingly dull. The sensitive skin that originally hurt when touched gradually adapted after repeated touches.

——This is the "Dissolving Soul" taking effect.

If solid and liquid are divided into two halves, the healing speed of the wound will be completely different.

"I didn't expect that the method of self-cutting is so popular in this world...it can even be considered mainstream."

Aiwass sighed, "The creation of the egg moon, the gap between the two yin and yang... plus Huan Tiansi's method of cutting off the tail. There must be other ways to split it, it's really weird."

"After all, the influence of the mixed paths becomes more serious as the level increases... but this world is not immune to this."

No. 14 followed up with a complaint, “The points added incorrectly in the early stages will have to be returned in the later stages. Just think of it as beheading the three corpses… Doesn’t it become orthodox to think this way?” Lily watched Aiwas and No. 14 chatting with each other, and suddenly she felt that the world had really changed—she could even chat with herself?
Selene, however, watched and pulled Lily with great interest: "Shall we chat too?"

"…What do you want to talk about? Forget it."

Lily obviously had no interest in this - she was quite resistant to this aspect of her love path and still hadn't accepted her other self.

"Don't you think that us not chatting at all is also a kind of chatting?"

"I don't think so."

When Selene hugged her arm, Lily just responded coldly and tried to pull her arm out. But when she was halfway through pulling her arm out, Selene bared her teeth and tried to bite her hand, but Lily quickly reached out and pinched her mouth.

Aiwass looked back at Lily and Selene playing around, and his heart moved.

He was just about to reach out and pinch No. 14's cheek when his hand suddenly moved - No. 14 reached out, grabbed Aiwas's hand, and then gently placed his chin on it with a smile.

Aiwass and No. 14 looked at each other and smiled, then said, "I have to give you a name..."

"Aleister, how is it?"

Number 14 said, "From now on, I will bear this name - let Bayard just be Bayard."

It was originally just a fictitious identity, a pun made up by Aiwass.

But with the help of many people, Aleister became a real person.

And now, this real identity has an equally real body, and it can really inherit all the external identities and stereotypes of Miss Aleister - this is the wonder of fate.

"Alright."

This was the answer Aiwas had originally thought of, so he nodded happily: "Aleister Crowley... I remember we have a claim in the Crowley family."

"Yes... we have to make use of it."

Freshman Miss Aleister smiled and said, "Since the Xingtan people dare to tell such a lie, they must pay the price."

"…Bad woman."

"You are also a bad guy, my honorable Pope..."

Aleister whispered softly.

This is also an extremely wonderful experience... I ask questions, confirm things, and answer them myself. It was originally something I thought about and decided on my own, but just saying it out loud and getting recognized - even if the person who recognized it was still me, it was a completely different experience.

"It feels... like having an extra eye."

Aiwass chooses his words carefully: "I suddenly have a sense of space for many things."

"It's more accurate than just one eye, isn't it?"

Miss Aleister chuckled and said, "Even sweeping robots use binocular structures, so what's wrong with us using them?"

Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

Lily and Selene on the side stopped and looked at each other.

It is a heartwarming scene of the Pope and the little girl having close contact under the sunshine.

But for some reason, I feel like there is a conspiracy going on...
