The reason it became like this now was also because of his terrifying competitiveness and possessiveness, as well as the mistakes made when he was young and ignorant.
The passive red consciousness had actually always been hoping that the dominant red consciousness would turn back.
But after waiting for so long, not only did he not turn back, he instead became even more insane and worse.
Given the relationship between the two, how could the passive red consciousness not see through the ambition of the dominant red consciousness?
How could he not know, that even if the dominant red consciousness saw Notch, he still wouldn't change his mind?
But there wasn't much he could do; openly and secretly, he had already tried to persuade the dominant red consciousness many times.
But still, he hadn't turned back.
The passive red consciousness deeply knew that Brother Jiang's appearance was their last chance.
He also made a decision, this would be his final attempt to persuade the dominant red consciousness.
Very clearly, his persuasion, like before, had no effect.
The passive red consciousness had also prepared to make one final desperate move.
He picked the right time, just as Brother Jiang returned to the End Island, taking advantage of the dominant red consciousness not paying attention, he possessed an Enderman.
And then came to Brother Jiang's side.
"Jiang, long time no see."
Seeing an Enderman suddenly appear in front of him, Brother Jiang was at first a little confused, but upon hearing the Enderman's voice, Brother Jiang only felt his nose turn sore.
That voice was familiar yet unfamiliar.
Familiar because it was the voice of an old friend; unfamiliar because he hadn't heard that voice in over ten years.
"As expected…"
"I just knew… you were still around!…"
Brother Jiang held back his emotions, and not even caring that the figure in front of him was an Enderman, he threw his arms around him.
Tightly hugging the Enderman, he patted its back, his voice slightly choked, "Never thought we'd actually have a day to meet again…"
As he spoke, he seemed to realize something, released his hands, and asked the passive red consciousness, "Hm? Why are you the only one?"
The passive red consciousness was just about to open his mouth, when behind them, who knows when, another Enderman with glowing red eyes appeared.
Brother Jiang hadn't had time to react, when he was suddenly pulled into a hug by that other Enderman.
"Jiang, were you looking for me?"
Hearing that familiar voice beside his ear, Jiang finally let out a breath.
"You brat, still the same as before, always stirring things up!"
Saying that, he patted his back, deliberately complaining, "You two really aren't very considerate. I shouted myself hoarse before you finally showed up."
"Sigh… looks like in your hearts, I'll never weigh as much as Notch."
Hearing Brother Jiang mention Notch, the passive red consciousness immediately jumped in before the dominant red consciousness could speak, "Brother Jiang, don't joke like that, we're all brothers without distinction."
"We came to see you the moment we realized it was you."
"Oh, right… why didn't Notch come with you? It's been ages since we saw him too…"
The first time Brother Jiang appeared, the passive red consciousness already felt something was off.
Brother Jiang and Notch had always been close friends, after all, they grew up together.
Since Brother Jiang could sense their presence in the void and had come searching for them earlier,
Why had Notch never set foot here?
After the accident ten years ago, the two red consciousnesses had never seen Notch again.
They originally thought perhaps something had happened to Notch.
They didn't even know how long they'd been asleep before gradually waking up.
They also learned from the mouths of some players that the world they were in now was a fully holographic game world created by Notch.
This also proved that Notch was still alive.
The two red consciousnesses had always been waiting for Notch, hoping Notch would save them.
But clearly, they had never waited long enough to see Notch appear.
Notch seemed to have forgotten they even existed.
So they had always wanted to know, why didn't Notch come looking for them?
Even Brother Jiang had come looking, yet Notch still hadn't shown up.
What exactly had happened in between?
At this moment, since the passive red consciousness had already spoken, the dominant red consciousness could no longer stop him. After thinking for a bit, he followed up smoothly,
"Right, could it be that he's afraid to see us?"
The dominant red consciousness was clearly fishing for information.
He actually knew very well that what happened back then couldn't be blamed on Notch. But he also knew Notch's personality, Notch would definitely feel partly responsible.
This was also why he had always been confident that Notch would take his side out of guilt.
Hearing the dominant red consciousness's words, Brother Jiang let out a long sigh.
After thinking deeply for a moment, he finally spoke, "Notch doesn't know that I came to find you…"
"He suffered a serious trauma and doesn't remember what happened back then at all…"
"I also never dared to bring it up. That's also the reason why I came to find you ahead of time."
"I want to know… what really happened back then that caused it to turn out like this…"
Hearing Brother Jiang's words, the passive red consciousness finally understood why Notch had never looked for them.
He felt countless emotions at once and was just about to speak, but the dominant red consciousness spoke first, "So that's how it is…"
"Jiang, what happened back then isn't something that can be explained in just a few words. Besides, you weren't one of the parties involved, this, after all, is between us and Notch."
"Let he who tied the bell untie it."
"Rather than be the go-between, why not let Notch meet us face-to-face?"
Hearing what the dominant red consciousness said, Brother Jiang was about to nod in agreement, but after thinking for a moment, he frowned and shook his head.
Seeing his two friends now wearing the skins of monsters from the game world, Brother Jiang already felt unsettled, let alone Notch.
Thinking of this, Brother Jiang waved his hand and said, "Seeing what you two look like now… I'm really afraid he won't be able to take it…"
"He's already someone who's been through trauma…"
Hearing this, the Enderman possessed by the dominant red consciousness showed a barely noticeable smile on its face.
He seemed to have long expected Brother Jiang to say this, he knew very well Brother Jiang's relationship with Notch, and that Brother Jiang would naturally side with Notch in everything.
So Brother Jiang would definitely take Notch's feelings into consideration. Thinking of this, the dominant red consciousness quickly followed up, "I also think this might not be appropriate…"
"Even though this is a game world, at the very least we should meet him in a form he's familiar with."
"We actually do have a way to restore our physical forms, it's just that we've encountered so many obstacles, the progress has been very slow…"
"How about… you help us?"
The dominant red consciousness had always clearly understood Brother Jiang's relationship with Notch.
Though all of them were old friends, Brother Jiang had always been a bit closer to Notch.
And he would always consider things from Notch's point of view.
The dominant red consciousness had also heard Brother Jiang mention that Notch had suffered serious trauma, so he deliberately exploited this point.
Because he knew very well, if Brother Jiang came to find them before Notch, it must've been because Brother Jiang was afraid that Notch would suffer another trauma.
And based on what Brother Jiang said, it seemed that Notch had forgotten what happened in the past.
If the two of them possessed Endermen and met Notch that way, Notch definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.
Brother Jiang naturally understood the stakes involved here. He definitely wouldn't want Notch to see his two old friends looking like that.
So the dominant red consciousness took the chance to propose that Brother Jiang help them.
The dominant red consciousness had already made his plan, he was preparing to release the yellow consciousness.
Although HIM wasn't in the way this time, there were still people like Entity 303 and the officials.
And, the dominant red consciousness had recently caught some rumors, many players, animals, and monsters were migrating to the Nether.
The movements of the players, animals, and monsters clearly meant they had already anticipated the upcoming invasion and had begun taking precautions.
Although the yellow consciousness was extremely powerful, it still had one troublesome flaw, it couldn't cross dimensions to attack.
Being in the Overworld meant it was destined to be unable to attack monsters in the Nether.
And it couldn't rapidly teleport between dimensions either.
No matter how powerful it was, it could only enter a dimension through portals.
All the players, monsters, and animals needed to do was time it right, when the yellow consciousness entered the dimension, they'd switch dimensions and escape its attack.
In other words, if someone could monitor the yellow consciousness's location and relay that information to the players, animals, and monsters, letting them continuously travel between dimensions, playing a game of hide-and-seek with it, then it would be extremely hard for the yellow consciousness to go on a killing spree to gain power.
Clearly, aside from HIM, there was one other person who could do this, and that was Entity 303.
Entity 303 was invincible. No matter how strong the yellow consciousness was, it couldn't kill him.
Tracking the yellow consciousness's location would be a piece of cake.
And judging by the current movements of the players, animals, and monsters, it was obvious they were acting under Entity 303's instructions.
That meant Entity 303 already knew the weaknesses of the yellow consciousness.
When the time came, Entity 303 would definitely do everything in his power to sabotage the red consciousness's plan.
So the dominant red consciousness had to come up with a countermeasure.
And Brother Jiang's arrival had become the breakthrough point.
Since Brother Jiang had gotten administrator privileges, he must have some real skills.
If Brother Jiang could help, the plan would go a lot more smoothly.
The dominant consciousness's schemes had gone so far that even the passive red consciousness couldn't bear to listen anymore.
As soon as the dominant red consciousness finished speaking, the passive red consciousness immediately opened his mouth,
"I think it would be better to face things honestly."
"If we could meet Notch, he would definitely help us. With Notch's help, we could avoid many detours."
