Chapter 7 You Can't Die(1/2)
The skeleton soldier who had been shattered by the fire of his soul actually reassembled his body in the black air. Seeing this incredible scene, an electric current passed through Qingyi's mind - could it be said that a method has been developed to make the undead creatures never dissipate, or to make the undead creatures never dissipate?
Is there a technology that allows undead creatures to regenerate from their dissipated state?! If this technology can be achieved, then... won’t Wu Mu and the old immortal be resurrected?!
However, reason stopped his ecstasy. He calmed down and asked: "Strum, what is going on?"
The alchemist didn't even have time to tidy up his clothes, and patted the skeleton with great excitement: "When you returned from the last voyage, didn't you give us a living sample of an alien creature? That one is called a leaping worm? I will study it.
After studying for a long time, I always feel that [parasitism] has great potential. This skeleton is the No. 1 experimental subject of [parasitism] technology."
Qingyi had roughly guessed the principle and said calmly: "Well, you continue."
"Our 'Gospel' has three major races, namely zombies, skeletons and ghosts, which are considered low-level undead creatures, while the vampires of 'Goth' are high-level undead creatures. In my opinion, low-level undead creatures have no so-called races.
They can even be converted into each other!"
Brian on the side nodded: "Theoretically yes."
After receiving the approval from his supervisor, Streum couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, you see, skeletons are actually zombies with only skeletons left, zombies are skeletons with more flesh and blood, and ghosts are skeletons and zombies that have abandoned their bodies!
This is not unfounded, because the formation of every undead creature is similar, and the first step is to ignite the fire of the soul. If zombies and skeletons are regarded as one category, and ghosts are classified into another category, why does a soul
There are two different ways of fire energy? What determines their difference? I have been studying this problem before. "
"After countless observations and experiments, I found that the resurrection of zombies and skeletons is because the soul fire combines with the original body to form a false state of survival. The timing of its combination affects the body shape sooner or later. The soul and body are combined early.
, the corpse is not yet highly decomposed, that is, it is a zombie; the corpse rots until only the bones are left, and it becomes a skeleton. The formation mechanism of the ghost is to completely give up the body and expand the soul fire into an incorporeal body, which remains alive.
Original appearance.”
"The disagreement at the beginning was which path the soul fire chose. Driven by instinct, the newborn soul fire would give priority to entering the original body to protect itself, but its own body was too rotten and couldn't be used.
They can only float around. Therefore, ghosts, zombies, and skeletons are different forms of the same undead creature, and their essence is still the fire of the soul."
Qingyi thought for a while and smiled bitterly: "I was confused by you. From what you mean, the fire of the soul is the key to why undead creatures appear in different forms, right? But it is related to the [parasitism] of alien creatures.
What connection?”
"Your Majesty, I understand." Brian understood. He nodded his head with his knuckles and said: "I am a skeleton. There is a soul fire in my body. To the soul fire, the skeleton body is nothing but
A piece of clothing."
"It's like Oskel's [Perfect Disguise]. He can change his 'clothes' at any time? It's also like the 'Embryonic Body No. 2' that transfers his soul to the devil? Then - oh, so that's it!" Qing
Yi looked at the experimental skeleton with burning eyes: "It has two souls?! When one soul fire dissipates, the other soul fire takes command of the body, that is, inherits the 'clothes'? To a certain extent
Look, is another soul fire parasitic on the skeleton soldier?"
Strum became even more excited and shouted: "That's it, that's right!"
"But wouldn't it be too crowded for two people to wear the same clothes?" Qingyi thought of the undead Chimera from before: "There are two souls with different mental imprints in one body, which can easily cause civil strife or even devour each other. Want to
To successfully achieve [parasitism], the parasite must have a huge advantage."
"Indeed, undead creatures at any level have the instinct to devour souls, so high-level ghosts would rather find high-level creatures to "possess" them than choose seemingly weak skeleton soldiers; and the two soul fires
The most dangerous time is when they are fighting for the command of the body, because they have no way to control the body to deal with the battle. But Your Majesty, we have the 'soul gem', this thing will not compete with the original body for the command!"
Sturm took out a blue, fist-sized gem, and then sprinkled some "soul accelerant" on it, and then the gem burst into flames, like a piece of flammable ice. Seeing this, Sturm
On the contrary, Rum was a little embarrassed: "Ah, that...'Soul Gem' is crystallized soul fire, and 'Soul Accelerator' can make it easier to ignite, and only requires a trace of soul wavelength as the activation condition. But now
There is turbulent flow of soul wavelengths everywhere, so it will directly ignite..."
"It doesn't matter, I finally understand the principle. You put a 'soul gem' inside the body of the skeleton soldier, wait until the skeleton soldier dissipates, and then ignite the 'soul gem' with the wavelength of the soul when it dissipates." Qingyi carefully.
Looking at the motionless soul fire, and then at the skeleton soldier standing stupidly aside: "But when condensing the 'soul gem', its spiritual imprint was completely obliterated. When it is rekindled, it will just be the soul fire of an idiot."
.This cannot be applied in actual combat."
"Well, it's true..." Strum was frustrated. His voice became smaller: "As long as we find a way to infuse the wavelength in the 'soul gem'..."
Brian patted him on the shoulder and said in a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter, 'He who is discouraged as soon as he is hit will always be a loser' (Maugham's famous saying). Any scientific discovery must experience thousands of failures before it can benefit."
Undead creatures, we cannot rush for quick success."
(Xue Duo: "Hey, is this considered comfort to you?!")
"You're right!" Strum grabbed Brian's hand and said movedly: "For the reputation of the teacher and for your majesty, I will work hard!" After that, he pulled the skeleton soldier back to the ground.
Went upstairs.
Qingyi sighed.
"Your Majesty, the technology just now has very good application prospects. You don't need to be disappointed. First of all, if you can master the conversion technology, even adventurers can switch between the three races..." Brian told Qing eagerly
Yi Shu spoke eloquently. He talked for a long time, but when he found that Qing Yi was silent, he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty? Are you listening?"
"Brian, tell me, what will the soul become after it dissipates?"
"I will completely disappear from this world, and will neither enter heaven nor fall into hell."
"You are really rational."
"I regard reason as priceless wealth, Your Majesty." Brian bowed slightly: "Are you worried?"
"How could that be? Okay, you go back to work."
When Qingyi walked out of the joint scientific research center, the "Waiting City" was still in an extremely unstable environment, with thousands of birds flying. He looked up at the sky for a while, then returned to the city lord's palace, preparing to log off.
Xue Duo stood up from the shadow into a black human figure (especially like a black puppet) and followed Qingyi closely: "Hey, host, what's wrong with you? Are you sad for Wu Mu and Robert?"
Qingyi was silent for a while and then said: "No."
"Not really?" Xue Da was surprised.
"I know that the dead cannot come back after all. I'm just... I'm just being selfish." Qingyi's voice was very heavy, and every word seemed to rise slowly from the abyss, filled with water. "
Although all undead creatures are selfish, I am even more selfish than them. During the time when I should be remembering the deceased, I only think about myself."
Xue Duo smiled and said: "It's okay, host, this is normal. You are ruthless and unrighteous anyway."
Qingyi sighed and stopped talking. He even held the scepter as if he was about to let go of it at any moment. After returning to reality, he put down his holographic helmet and sat in a daze for a long time before saying something like a dream:
"If you die, you can't come back."
At this moment, the lower right corner of the screen started blinking. It was Dao Wen Wuji’s message. Qingyi didn’t react at first, and looked at it stupidly for a few seconds. Then he couldn’t wait any longer, and the screen shook.
Throw it over, and there are a few big red characters on the chat window: "Holy shit!!! I'm so suffocated!!!"
Qingyi thought about the "Undead Creatures Being Harmonized" incident on the "China" server and became happy. He leaned forward and typed on the keyboard: "What's going on again?"
Dao Bing Wuji: "You didn't read the news? I don't know what I did here, but I actually beautified the appearance of the zombies! I played "Qiankun" just for the spooky atmosphere of the ghost tribe. Your mother will fix it for me now.
More handsome than a living person?! I'm so angry! I used to be able to change back to my original form when I was in combat, but now when I change, I just get a little smoke from my body, and they won't even change a hair for me!"
Qingyi: "Haha! Did you complain?"
Dao Bing Wuji: "How can a complaint be so simple? I wrote a Wan Yan Piao Tian Wen, scolding the Ministry of Culture and the programmers of the 'China' server! His grandma's..."
Qingyi: "Wan Yan Shu?! What era are we in now? By the way, is it because I caused trouble here that the country made adjustments?"
Dao Bing Wuji: "Tsk, what does it have to do with you kid? If you ask me, I shouldn't have chopped off the heads of those 100,000 people!"
Qingyi: "Just beheading 100,000 people won't make major adjustments, right?...Did you do anything else?"
Dao Bing Wuji: "Well, I just made a Jingguan..."
Qingyi: "..."
Dao Bing Wuji: "Nothing else! I lied to you because I was raised by a bastard!"
Qingyi: "Pile on Mao Jingguan, there is something wrong with your brain, right!!! If I were to be an official of the Ministry of Culture, I would have to harmonize with you!!!"
Dao Bing Wuji: "But Duijingguan can reduce the morale of creatures by 70%. I just have the materials on hand. If I don't pile up, I won't pile up! Oh, you white-eyed wolf, I didn't tell you when you killed the pregnant woman, you massacred the city
I didn’t say anything to you, but now you have the nerve to teach me? (a “cursing” emoji)”
Qingyi: "I don't dare, I don't dare..."
Dao Bing Wuji: "My ancestors, Yu Qingfeng is like this, and you are like this, everyone always pretends to be so pure - I look down on you, you are hypocritical! In short, I will do it, and I will not regret it.
What?! (a "butcher knife" expression)"
Qingyi: "Not so, not so much... (a "crying" expression) I know I was wrong, brother..."
Dao Bing Wuji: "I won't talk to you anymore. Mom is urging me to sleep again."
Qingyi: "Good night."
After closing the chat window, Qingyi took a long breath and shook his head with a smile. He stood up, walked to the phone, and dialed a number.
"Hey, it's me."
"What's up?"
"There is a game called "Qiankun" in China. Recently, some measures have been taken to make players very unappetizing. You can see if you can ask the Ministry of Culture to make concessions. It is not necessary to make it happen. However, I feel uncomfortable watching it.
"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"My friend is playing."
"Let me remember... "Qian Kun", right? Just wait."
