Chapter 322 The Origin of True and False
At this time, Eula also reacted:
"Of course that Albedo is real. He fought against the dragon Durin with me. How could he be fake?"
Hearing Eula's words, Paimon covered his head to show that he understood:
"Oh, yes, yes, that makes sense, that Albedo must be real!
And now there is Albedo!"
At this point, Paimon put his hands on his hips and looked serious:
"We used a trick to lure the enemy into a trap, and the big fish we caught turned out to be the mastermind behind everything, the fake Albedo!"
The fake Albedo was still kneeling in front of them, still somewhat distraught:
"Put yourself in a trap..."
Then he laughed at himself:
"So that's what's going on. I've been fooled for a long time. You guys did it on purpose..."
After self-deprecating, Albedo was still a little unwilling:
"The question is, how did you know I was a fake when you were hunting the Snow Pig King in the beginning?
Logically speaking, it shouldn't have happened. I didn't have any flaws at that time!"
Looking at the extremely anxious look in the fake Albedo's eyes, Gu Chen knew that he urgently needed an answer, and he wanted to know the answer even if he died!
With a kind heart, Gu Chen gave an answer:
“Who has allowed me to know my predetermined fate to a certain extent?
In the predetermined destiny, I know you exist in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain."
The fake Albedo's face turned pale:
"You... know my origins?"
Gu Chen nodded slightly.
Eula and Paimon beside them also looked at Gu Chen curiously, and Paimon even asked directly:
"Gu Chen, where does this fake Albedo come from?"
Sighing slightly, Gu Chen said with a sigh:
"If you want to understand the origins of this fake Albedo, you must first understand the origins of the real Albedo."
"Really Albedo?"
"Ok.
You don't know that the real Albedo is not a pure human, he is an artificial human."
"Cyborg!?"
Eula and Paimon were both shocked.
Amidst their shock, Gu Chen continued his story:
"Yes, it's an artificial human.
The person who created Albedo, or Albedo's mother.
He is one of the five sinners of Kanria, the person with the highest attainments in alchemy in this world, a member of the Witch Society, and the Golden Rhinedot.
This person's alchemy has reached a pinnacle, and Albedo seems to have been created by her through alchemy.
It is extremely difficult to create a life from nothing, let alone create a human being.
So before Albedo was born, Rhinedot had experienced countless failures and conducted countless experiments."
When he said this, Gu Chen looked at the fake Albedo in front of him with an unwilling look in his eyes:
“He must be the product of a failed experiment.
Forgive me for using the word product, but it is indeed true.
However, although it failed, it was extremely close to success.
Perhaps feeling it was a pity, Rhinedot did not destroy the fake Albedo, but hid what she considered a product of failure in the Dragon Ridge Snow Mountain.
Time passed by year after year, and the products of failure also slept in the snow-capped mountains for year after year.
Perhaps due to the power left by the magic dragon Durin in the snow mountain, the product of failure actually turned from virtual to real, gained its own soul and consciousness, and thus became a... relatively complete individual.
At this point, calling him a product of failure is no longer accurate.
Under the influence of nature and the coincidence of fate, he is basically the same as the real Albedo.
But, he is fake after all.
Even if he looks exactly like Albedo, even if his structure is basically the same as Albedo, he is not Albedo after all, and he doesn't even have his own name.
When he woke up from the snowy mountains, he was confused and bewildered, and accidentally met the real Albedo.
From the moment he saw the real Albedo, he realized that he was an abandoned failure.
And the successful product that replaced him... was right in front of him.
How could he accept that?
How could he accept his true perfect self, possessing everything he envied?
He was unwilling and angry. He wanted to plunder, to replace everything of Albedo, and to become the real Albedo!
Therefore, he planned this series of events in the snowy mountains, constantly targeting Albedo, just to kill Albedo and replace him! "
In this way, Gu Chen explained the whole cause and effect.
After finishing his explanation, Gu Chen paused to give everyone time to digest and think, and then asked the fake Albedo in front of him:
“Although I know my destiny to a certain extent, it is only a rough idea, and the details are not clear.
Excuse me, is there anything inaccurate in what I said?"
The fake Albedo shook his head slightly:
"There's nothing inaccurate about it. You're absolutely right."
After shaking his head, he sneered at himself:
"I didn't expect there are people who know destiny. I'm so unlucky to have met you this time. I'm doomed!"
Looking at the decadent fake Albedo, Gu Chen quietly added:
“It’s not just about knowing your destiny.
When I saw you on the mountain platform of the Snow Pig King, I didn't doubt you at first.
The reason I doubted you, the reason I saw through you at that moment, besides knowing my predetermined fate, was mainly because you had a flaw."
"flaw?"
Facing the fake Albedo's eager eyes for knowledge, Gu Chen pointed to his neck and throat.
The fake Albedo was stunned at first, then he suddenly realized, and then felt extremely regretful.
How regretful are you?
The fake Albedo was so regretful that he punched the snow hard, which showed his anger and regret.
Although the fake Albedo understood, Eula and Paimon didn't quite understand.
The two of them inevitably came over and asked Gu Chen in confusion:
"What and what? What are you two talking about?"
"Yeah, what's the flaw in his neck? It looks like there's nothing around his throat."
Gu Chen smiled slightly:
“What is missing, and what appears to be perfect, is the biggest flaw.
Paimon, you don't spend much time with Albedo, so it's normal that you don't notice this.
Eula, think carefully, what's the difference between the real Albedo's throat and this fake Albedo's?"
After being reminded of this, Eula carefully looked at the fake Albedo in front of her, paying particular attention to his throat and neck.
After observing and thinking for a while, Youla suddenly opened her eyes wide, then looked at Gu Chen and gestured at her throat and neck:
"That star!?"
Gu Chen nodded with a smile:
"Yes, that star."
Paimon is full of questions:
"What stars? What are you talking about?"
Looking at Paimeng with amusement, Gu Chen began to remind him:
"Think carefully, isn't there a golden star at the base of Albedo's throat?"
Covering his head and thinking for a while, Paimeng felt that it seemed to be true.
