Chapter 17 - Chapter 16: The Farewell Dialogue.

_ The void, it's all white where am I? I see nothing but white, I hear nothing, am I in the kingdom of the dead?!

(No, we are in your subconscious!)

_ My subconscious? What is it?

(it's an unlimited version of your consciousness, if consciousness can die, the subconscious can't, that's why we are not all able to become aware of what we cannot)

_ What? But who are you?!

A body appears out of nowhere.

_ What? The young killer man with black hair!!!

Bakuzan: Yes it's me, Mutreph, did you take the time to look at yourself for a moment?

Mutreph: What do you mean?

Mutreph looks at himself and is surprised by what he sees.

He notices that he had no stitches on his body, his skin was smooth, a normal human.

Mutreph: What? Is this a dream?!

He touches his head and face.

Mutreph: It's impossible, I have hair, eyes, a mouth, I'm a normal human, not the one my father manipulated!!

Bakuzan: Yes, it's your you in your subconscious, here it's not just your consciousness or your memory!

Mutreph: But I don't understand, what are you doing in my subconscious?! And how did you get in?!

Bakuzan: It's very simple, earlier while you were crying on the ground, our eyes met and I asked you for permission, you accepted it unconsciously, it's very dangerous but hey, I'm not here to hurt you just to talk to you.

Mutreph: Talk to me about what? And...and why am I naked?!

Bakuzan gets closer to Mutreph.

Bakuzan: I have no idea, do you believe in the principle of reincarnation?!

Mutreph thinks for a moment and answers.

Mutreph: No, that's nonsense!

Bakuzan snickers and says.

Bakuzan: Yet it's very real, the chances that you'll be reincarnated after your death are 100%!

Mutreph opens his eyes wide and then laughs out loud.

Mutreph: Haaaaahahahaha, What are you talking about? Reincarnation is impossible for the simple reason that it doesn't make sense.

Bakuzan: It makes perfect sense instead!

Mutreph: Huh!

Bakuzan: My father explained it to me, that in the past he had noticed it himself when he was still very strong, there is what we call the fundamental state of the existence of beings, they follow a logic that we can only divert, modify or touch by following the same logic and the same functioning only, they have their own paragraph between the spirit, the soul, the history and the being and besides it is thanks to the being that we are able to reincarnate, as long as it is not touched, you will reincarnate, and I cannot touch higher than your spirit and your soul so you have nothing to fear, it is also because I can touch your soul that I am currently in your subconscious.

Mutreph did not understand anything. All this was too fast for him.

Mutreph: What are you telling me there?

Bakuzan: I'm telling you what I know, you know, the logic that marks the fundamental states of the existence of beings is so solid and capricious that even the beings of the superior Meracloxes at the center of the universe are not able to modify if they are not able to follow this logic and this unique functioning, but to follow this logic you must first understand how it works, I understood thanks to my father, that's why I can touch your mind and your soul, even if I can't touch more for the moment.

Mutreph still didn't understand anything.

Mutreph: I didn't understand anything!

Bakuzan sighs.

Bakuzan: Well teaching you this functioning is not ideal, I just want to tell you that you are going to reincarnate again and besides there is a chance that your mother already is too!

Mutreph: How do you know about my mother?

Bakuzan: I read your mind earlier, I'm really sorry for your past, I didn't know you had lived through this kind of horror, that's why I plan to offer you a second chance, because your life was just too unfair!

Mutreph (intrigued): Oh yes, and in what way?

Bakuzan: I plan to give you the possibility of remembering your previous life, but in exchange you have to promise me something!

Mutreph (even more intrigued): Huh, you can do that, you're a God?

Bakuzan: Haha no, but in exchange for a favor it is possible to have a miracle by sacrificing something very important!

Mutreph: Are you going to sacrifice something?

Bakuzan nods.

Mutreph: And what is it?

Bakuzan: I'm going to sacrifice 10 years of my life span!

Mutreph (surprised): Really? You're not telling me bullshit?!

Bakuzan: No, I'm in your subconscious as normal, isn't that enough proof for you?

Mutreph: hum...

Bakuzan: Okay now let's talk about the promise you're going to owe me!!

Mutreph: Did you first ask me if I was for it?

Bakuzan: Hum...!!

Mutreph: It would be nice to reincarnate without remembering this shitty life that I had, every day I only imagined it over and over again, it's a nightmare, a nightmare that I would like to not remember anymore, I appreciate your gesture little one, but you may be very strong and very intelligent, but you can't really understand someone's suffering like this person who lived it understands it, it's very different!

Bakuzan: Hmm... you're probably right, tell me, would you like to see your mother again, live with her without this life? A happy life and all the rest, but remembering that she is your mother and the good things she did for you?

Mutreph (surprised): What? You can do that?

Bakuzan (smiling): I suspected it, it's not your past that really disturbed you but your mother's sacrifice and you must miss her a lot, the fact of having seen her suffer certainly disturbed you a lot, I can realize that, if I sacrifice 1000 years of my life span during the pact, it's huge!

Mutreph: What? 1000 years, that's too bad! You can't do it otherwise you'll die and still have debts in the world of the dead because you can't live 1000 years.

Bakuzan (laughing): Hahaha, killer men live a very long time my dear friend, 1000 years is not much, it's like I'm removing milliseconds from my lifespan!

Mutreph: Unbelievable, and where does this pact take place?

Bakuzan: It takes place in the subconscious, that's why I'm here, you'll remember your previous life but not what happened here, besides me too once I get out of here, I'll forget everything!

Mutreph: Why?

Bakuzan: for the simple reason that we are not able to become aware of what cannot be, here we are like in alliance in a kind of black market where desires can be bought, the gods listen to us and are able to realize all our dreams in exchange for a very important sacrifice, the gods are like dream traders here, they sell expensive dreams in exchange for sacrifice, but be careful, we can only use the subconscious once in our existence, even after reincarnation it will be impossible to start again, that's why we have to think carefully when we are here!

Mutreph; you too will not be able to use it then?

Bakuzan: Think again, we are in your subconscious and not mine, I am always able to use mine if necessary on the other hand, even if the important sacrifice comes from me, as long as it happens in your subconscious it only concerns you.

Mutreph: Pfff, you just ruined mine when it could have been more useful to me later, well, enough talking and let's see if you're not talking crap!!!

Bakuzan: Very well, now let's talk about the promise you're going to owe me!!

Mutreph swallows.

Mutreph: Go ahead!!

Bakuzan: Promise me not to take revenge on your father in your next life, even though you know very well that he was your father in your previous life!!

Mutreph: Just that? Yes I promise you, as long as I'm with my sweet mother, I want to see my mother's joy again, her smile and her beauty that's all!

Bakuzan: Very well, mama's boy!!

Mutreph (blushing): hum...

Bakuzan bites his finger and hurts himself slightly.

Bakuzan: do the same with your finger!

Mutreph does the same.

Then Bakuzan holds out his finger to Mutreph's who does the same.

Their blood touches.

The blood pact is opened, a magic circle appears on the ground.

A gigantic statue in the shape of a Buddha appears out of nowhere.

Mutreph is frightened and intimidated. But he knows that he must remain calm.

Bakuzan: O name of the God witnessing the scene, I ask that the subject Mutreph in front of me can be reincarnated as the child of his previous mother already reincarnated in another life.

I add that the subject will have to remember his past in this life and thus enjoy the joy of seeing his mother again and living with her.

The subject, as a promise, promised to never attack his father to take revenge as he did in this life and also the final point, as a sacrifice, we offer you 1000 years of life of the young subject Bakuzan Satsujin Otoko or even Bakuzan killer man that I am !!!

The statue of the Buddha begins to shine enormously. He was taking the 1000 years of life of Bakuzan.

Mutreph was amazed, he was going to see his mother again, tears of joy and gratitude came out of his eyes.

Mutreph: Bakuzan, I don't know how to thank you, it's incredible, one thing is sure in my next life I will remember you and who you are, I would like to meet you again one day and come and give you back the device, even if I know that I could never repay 1000 years of life ... thank you very much.

The golden light of the statue invades the void and everything disappears in this place.

During this short moment, Mutreph still looks Bakuzan in the eyes, he had tears and was extremely grateful.

Bakuzan also looks at Mutreph and gives him a last smile then everything had completely disappeared.
