The skeleton soldier who had already shattered the soul fire actually reassembled his body in the black qi, and seeing this incredible scene, an electric current passed through Qingyi's brain—could it be that he had developed a technology that would allow the necromantic creature to never dissipate, or that the necromantic creature could be reborn from the dissipation state?! If this technology can be achieved, then ...... Won't Wumu and the old immortal be resurrected?!

Reason, however, restrained his ecstasy. He calmed down and asked, "Strom, what's going on?" ”

The alchemist didn't even have time to sort out his clothes, and patted the skeleton excitedly: "Didn't you give us a living sample of an otherworldly creature when you returned from your last voyage?" The one called the Sky Worm? I've been studying it for a long time, and I've always felt that [parasitism] has a lot to offer. This skeleton is the first experimental object of the [parasitic] technology. ”

Qingyi had roughly guessed the principle, and said lightly: "Well, you continue." ”

"There are three major races in our 'Gospel', namely zombies, skeletons, and ghosts, which are considered low-level necromantic creatures, while the 'Goth' vampires are high-level necromantic creatures. In my opinion, there is no such thing as a racial distinction between low-level necromantic creatures, and they can even be converted into each other! ”

Brian on the side nodded: "Theoretically yes." ”

After receiving the supervisor's affirmation, Strom couldn't help but smile: "Your Majesty, you see, skeletons are actually zombies with only skeletons left, and zombies are skeletons with more flesh and blood, and ghosts are skeletons and zombies that have abandoned their shells!" This statement is not unfounded, because the formation of every necromantic creature is much the same, and the first step is to ignite the fire of the soul. If zombies and skeletons are one type and ghosts are another, why can a soul fire have two different paths? What determines the difference? I've been working on this before. ”

"After countless observations and experiments, I found that the resurgence of zombies and skeletons is due to the combination of soul fire and the original body, forming a false state of survival, and the timing of its combination affects the physical form sooner or later. If the spirit and flesh are combined early, and the degree of decay of the corpse is not high, that is the zombie; The corpse decomposes to only bones, and then becomes a skeleton. The mechanism of the ghost's formation is to completely abandon the physical body, and expand the soul fire into a virtual body, which retains its original appearance during life. ”

"The point of disagreement at the beginning was what path the Soul Fire chose. Driven by instinct, the newborn soul fire will preferentially choose to enter the original body to protect itself, and his own corpse is too broken to be used, so he can only float around. Therefore, ghosts, zombies, and skeletons are different forms of the same necromantic creature, and their essence is still soul fire. ”

Qingyi thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I'm confused by you." Listen to you, soul fire is the key to why necromantic creatures take different forms, right? But what is the connection between it and the parasitism of otherworldly creatures? ”

"Your Majesty, I understand." Brian understood, and he nodded his head with his finger bones and said, "I'm a skeleton." I have a soul fire in me. For the Soul Fire, the skeletal body is nothing more than a piece of clothing. ”

"Like Oskol's [Perfect Disguise], he can change his 'clothes' at any time? It's like 'Embryo Body II', which transfers the soul to a puppet? That- oh, I see! Qingyi looked at the experimental skeleton with burning eyes: "It has two souls?!" When one soul fire dissipates, the other soul fire takes over the command of the body, that is, inherits the 'clothes'? In a way, is it another soul fire parasitic on the skeleton soldier? ”

Strunm was even more excited, exclaiming, "That's it, that's right! ”

"But wouldn't it be too crowded for two people to wear the same clothes?" Qingyi remembered the necromantic Chimera from before: "There are two souls with different spiritual imprints in one body, which can easily cause civil strife and even devour each other. In order to successfully achieve [Parasite], it is necessary for the Parasite to have a great advantage. ”

"It's true that no matter what level of necromantic creatures they have, they have the instinct to devour souls, so high-level ghosts would rather go to high-level beings to [possess] than choose seemingly weak skeleton soldiers; And when two soul fires fight for the command of the body, it is the most dangerous time, because they simply can't control the body to deal with the battle. But Your Majesty, we have the 'Soul Gem', and this thing will not compete with the original body for command!" ”

Strom took out a blue, fist-sized gem and sprinkled some "soul accelerant" on it, and the gem burst on fire like a piece of combustible ice. Seeing this situation, Strom was a little embarrassed: "Ah, that ...... 'soul gem' is a crystallized soul fire, and the 'soul accelerant' can make it easier to ignite, and only a trace of soul wavelength is required as a condition for activation. It's just that there is soul wavelength turbulence everywhere now, so it will directly ignite ......"

"It's okay, I've finally figured it out. You put a 'Soul Gem' inside the skeleton soldier, wait until the skeleton soldier dissipates, and then ignite the 'soul gem' with the soul wavelength when it dissipates. Qing Yi carefully looked at the motionless soul fire, and then looked at the skeleton soldier standing stupidly on the side: "But when condensing the 'soul gem', its spiritual imprint has been completely erased, and when it is rekindled, it will only be an idiot soul fire." This can't be used in real combat. ”

"Well, that's true......" Strom frustrated. His voice became smaller: "Just find a way to infuse the wavelength in the 'soul gem'......"

Brian patted him on the shoulder, and his voice was gentle: "It doesn't matter, 'He who is discouraged at the first blow is always a loser' (Maugham's famous quote), any scientific discovery has to go through thousands of failures to benefit the necromantic creatures, and we can't rush to achieve quick success." ”

(Xue Duo: "Hey, are you also a comfort?!!") ”）

"You're right!" Strunm grabbed Brian's hand and said movingly: "For the reputation of the teacher, for the sake of Your Majesty, I will work hard!" With that, he pulled the skeleton soldier and staggered back upstairs.

Qingyi sighed.

"Your Majesty, the technology just now has a good application prospect, you don't need to be disappointed. First of all, if you can master the transformation technique, then even adventurers can transform between the three races......" Brian recounted to Qing Yi earnestly, and said it to the head. He talked for a long time, and found that Qingyi didn't move, so he couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty?" Are you listening? ”

"Brian, what do you say, what will become of the soul when it dissipates?"

"It will disappear from this world completely, and it will neither enter heaven nor hell."

"You're so rational."

"I regard reason as a priceless treasure, Your Majesty." Brian bowed slightly: "Do you have something on your mind?" ”

"How so. Okay, you go back to work. ”

When Qingyi walked out of the joint scientific research center, the "city of waiting" was still in an extremely unstable environment, and thousands of birds were frightened. He looked up at the sky for a while, then went back to the City Lord's Mansion and prepared to go offline.

Xue Duo stood in a black human form (like a black puppeteer) from the shadow, and followed Qingyi inch by inch: "Hey, host, what's wrong with you?" Is it sad for Wumu and Robert? ”

Qingyi was silent for a while before saying, "No." ”

"Not really?" Xue Duo was amazed.

"I know that the dead can't come back. I was just...... I'm just being selfish. Qingyi's voice was heavy, and every word seemed to rise slowly from the abyss and absorb water. While undead creatures are selfish, I'm even more selfish than they are. In the time when I should have remembered the deceased, I only thought about myself. ”

Xue Duo smiled and said, "It's okay, host, this is normal, anyway, you are ruthless and unjust." ”

Qingyi sighed and stopped talking. He even held the scepter as if he were about to take it off at any moment. After returning to reality again, he put down his holographic helmet and sat in a daze for a long time before he said a dream:

"If you die, you can't come back."

At this moment, the lower right corner of the screen flickered, and it was a message from Daobing Wuji. Qingyi didn't react at first, and looked at it stupidly for a few seconds, and then he couldn't wait, a screen shook and threw over, and there were a few big red words on the chat window: "Fuck!! Suffocated to death!! ”

Qingyi remembered the "undead creatures being reconciled" incident on the "Huaxia" server, so he was happy, leaned forward and tapped on the keyboard: "What's wrong again?" ”

Knife Soldier Wuji: "You didn't watch the news? I don't know what the hell I'm doing here, but I actually beautify the appearance of zombies! When I first played "Qiankun", I went to the ghostly atmosphere of the ghost clan, and your mother now makes me more handsome than a living person?! I'm so angry! I used to be able to change back to the prototype when I was in a combat state, but now when I change, at most there is a little smoke on my body, and I won't even help me change a hair! ”

Qingyi: "Haha! So do you have any complaints? ”

Dao Bing Wuji: "How can it be so simple to complain?" I have written a 10,000-word book and am going to post it on the Internet, scolding the programmers of the Ministry of Culture and the 'Huaxia' server to death! His grandmother's ......"

Qingyi: "Ten Thousand Words Book?!" What age is it now, hey! In other words, is it the chaos caused by my side, so the country has made adjustments? ”

The sword soldier is unscrupulous: "Cut, what's the matter with your kid?" If I were to say, I shouldn't have cut off the heads of 100,000 people! ”

Qingyi: "Even if you cut off 100,000 heads, you won't make major adjustments, right?" …… Did you do something else? ”

Sword soldier Wuji: "Well, I just piled up a Jingguan ......"

Qingyi: "......"

Sword Soldier Wuji: "Nothing else!" Lie to you, I'm the king of Bayang! ”

Qingyi: "Pile up Mao Jingguan, you have something wrong with your brain, right!! If I am an official of the Ministry of Culture, I also have to harmonize with you!! ”

Sword Soldier Wuji: "But piling up Jingguan can reduce the morale of living beings by 70%, I just have materials at hand, don't pile up in vain!" Oh, you white-eyed wolf, I didn't say anything about you when you killed a pregnant woman, and I didn't say anything about you when you slaughtered the city, and now you're embarrassed to teach me? (a "scolding" emoji)"

Qingyi: "Don't dare, don't dare to ......"

The sword soldier is unscrupulous: "Your ancestors, Yu Qingfeng is like this, and you are like this, as if you always pretend to be pure-Lao Tzu looks down on you, fake!" In short, Lao Tzu did it, and he didn't regret it, what should I do?! (a "butcher's knife" emote)"

Qingyi: "No, no...... (a "crying" emoji) I know the wrong big brother......"

Dao Bing Wuji: "I won't talk to you, my mother is urging me again." Sleep also. ”

Qingyi: "Good night." ”

Closing the chat window, Qingyi let out a long breath and shook his head with a smile. He got up, walked to the phone, and dialed a number.

"Hey, it's me."

"What's the matter?"

"There is a game called "Qiankun" in China, and some measures have been taken recently, which makes players very unappetizing. You see if you can get the Ministry of Culture to back down, it doesn't have to be done, but I feel uncomfortable looking at it. ”

"What does it have to do with you?"

"My friend is playing."

"Let me remember...... "Qiankun", right? You wait. ”

Qingyi waited for a while.

"I happen to have dinner with the Vice Minister of Culture next month. When will you be back? ”

"What about work, I can't come back."

"Is that a lot of fun?"

"Interesting."

"Come back early."

"Hmm."

"Do you hear that?"

"I hear you."

The phone hung up.
