Chapter 9: The Spirit Shell

"Survival Dictionary: Ghost World - Spirit Shell

Since the ghost star is not irradiated by visible light, the oxygen content in the atmosphere is less, which causes the organic organisms that need a large amount of blood oxygen to supply the whole body energy can not survive, and at the same time, due to the atmospheric pressure, the physical strength of most organic life forms cannot withstand such a high pressure, the first generation of primitive ghost people according to the design idea of the spacesuit to create the first generation of spirit shells that can be directly attached to the body, the most primitive functional class of the first generation of spirit shells is similar to spacesuits, which can not only resist atmospheric pressure but also absorb thin oxygen in the atmosphere, It is with the protection of the first generation of spirit shells that the first generation of ghosts can establish colonies on the ghost planet.

Later, due to the discovery of the psionic crystal, the first generation of primitive ghosts discovered that the energy released by the psionic crystal could be directly transmitted to the spirit body through the spiritual shell, and the spiritual shell developed by leaps and bounds based on this, and finally the ghosts created the second generation of growing spiritual shells 400 million years ago when the psionic crystal was discovered.

The second generation of the spirit shell is similar to the human body, in addition to the reproductive function has all the functions of the body, can also directly supply the energy of the crystal to the spirit body, the spirit shell is distributed with many sensors and buses to replace the human nerve tissue, through these sensors ghost spirit can also feel the external environment and physiological changes.

However, this also led to the degradation of the physical body, and in the following hundreds of millions of years of evolution, the physical body of the ghost man gradually disappeared, and the ghost man became a pure energy body that only possessed the spirit body, and the life span of the ghost man was greatly extended.

Because the second-generation spirit shell promoted the rapid development of the ghost society again, the successful development of the second-generation spirit shell was called the second big bang of science and technology.

But this also brings a problem, ghost people without a body are unable to have children, and at the same time, with the outbreak of the second ghost world war, the number of ghost people has decreased sharply, causing the social development of ghost people to stagnate, so it is only 3 million years ago that the ghost world began to make up for the ghost people, which controlled the decrease in the ghost population.

The production of the spirit shell is handled by the ghost world factory, and the production of the spirit shell is not only a long cycle but also a complex process, which also leads to a strict limit on the number of modern ghost people who can enter the ghost world.

Every ghost born from the human world will be assigned an initial spirit shell after entering the ghost world, the shape and strength of the initial spirit shell are uniform, but the spirit shell will continue to grow with the growth of spirit energy, and in the process of growth, the spirit shell will change its form due to the enhancement of spirit energy.

In most cases, the spirit shell will accompany the ghost person's life, in addition to protecting the spirit from harm, the spirit shell can also help the spirit absorb energy and suppress the spirit energy in the spirit body, if the spirit shell is lost, the ghost person's spirit will be directly exposed to the atmosphere, the spirit energy will be drastically reduced, when the spirit energy is reduced to zero, the ghost person will die completely, and the spirit consciousness will also disappear.

After the death of the ghost man, the strength of the spirit shell, the shape and other attributes will be retained, the spirit shell will be recycled, these spirit shells left by the dead ghost people are called spirit armor, is a rare item in the spirit world, can be worn directly on the spirit shell, although the spirit armor can not grow and provide energy to the spirit body, but the spirit armor can not only resist attacks but also have other special functions after charging. ”

After sleeping for a whole day, Luo Yun found that Li Chunfeng had not come back yet, so he finished reading the introduction of the spirit shell by himself.

The introduction of the spirit shell in the survival dictionary answered several doubts in Luo Yun's heart, one is that the reason why ghosts can't have children is not because they are all impotence, but because ghosts are all energy bodies, and spirit shells replace physical bodies, so there is no physical body to reproduce at all, and they can only be supplemented through the human world; The second is that ghosts are protected by spirit shells, so they can survive in the ghost world, which is why Li Chunfeng said that it is difficult for him to pass the exam in the mortal body.

But the question arises again, what is the psionic crystal mentioned in the dictionary? Is the shroud he is wearing a spirit armor?

Come to think of it, even if he didn't know the time, he knew it was time for dinner again, because his stomach was rumbling again.

Sure enough, not long after his stomach protested, a portal appeared, apparently from a food delivery.

A middle-aged uncle with a bearded face, wearing a leopard-print vest, a leopard head mask, and a leopard tail appeared with a plate.

"Hello sir! Your order has arrived," Uncle Leopard said in a hoarse, heavy sissy voice.

Seeing this honor, Luo Yun suddenly lost his appetite.

"Why didn't that bunny girl from yesterday come!" Although the bunny girl is also very scary, it is much better than the obscene uncle in front of her.

"You're talking about Bunny Bunny, she's resting today, and she's asking me to come and serve you." After Uncle Leopard finished speaking, he looked Luo Yun up and down.

"Huh! Uncle, your uniform is really interesting, do you still play cosplay in the ghost world? Luo Yun was frightened by the uncle's enthusiastic eyes, and hurriedly avoided the uncle's eager gaze.

"I hate it! What an uncle! , the appearance of this leopard is just one of the forms of people's spirit shells! The spirit of the other person is an 18-year-old girl! ”

After Uncle Leopard Print's words, Luo Yun completely understood that ghosts were pure energy bodies without form, and the appearance of all the people he saw after coming to the ghost world was actually the external manifestation of their spirit shells.

"Good! You put the plate down, I'll just do it myself, by the way, can you turn around? ”

In the face of such an 18-year-old girl in his heart, Luo Yun really couldn't eat a bite, and the leopard uncle pouted and turned around reluctantly. Luo Yun sat down with confidence and feasted.

"That's right! Let me ask you, don't the ghost people in the ghost world directly replenish the energy of the spirit body through the spirit shell, and do they still need to eat? Luo Yun asked as he nibbled on the chicken legs.

"Humph! Of course not, but the ghost people have the desire to the human world, and eat food purely for enjoyment. Uncle Leopard deliberately pretended to be angry.

It seems that even if the ghost person is an energy body, he still has seven emotions and six desires like a human, Luo Yun thought about the black and impermanent supercar again, and secretly thought in his heart that this dead fat man will enjoy it!

After eating, Uncle Leopard pouted and cleaned up the plate, and said affectionately: "Sir, welcome to order next time, I'm Hani, the No. 23 delivery person, Momoda." After saying that, it was a flying kiss to Luo Yun, Luo Yun suppressed the feeling that he was about to vomit, and waved his hand to let Uncle Leopard leave quickly.

After Uncle Leopard left, Luo Yun was just about to continue reading, but saw Li Chunfeng walk into the room with a serious face.

"Mr. Li, you're back, I just have a few questions for you........."

As soon as Luo Yun saw Li Chunfeng coming back, he immediately greeted him, but before he could finish speaking, Li Chunfeng interrupted him.

"Boy, get on your knees!" Li Chunfeng suddenly said this, which made Luo Yun startled, I don't know what the blind man was stimulated by this trip, and he made him kneel as soon as he came back.

"Kneel down and kowtow to the old man, from now on you will no longer be a test subject, but an apprentice of the old man!"

As soon as Luo Yun heard that Li Chunfeng, the first smart person in the ghost world and the human world, wanted to be his master, there was a reason not to agree, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Li Chunfeng three times, but what he didn't expect was that being Li Chunfeng's apprentice would be even more miserable than being a test subject.

"Good! From today onwards, the old man will teach you that you must pass the ghost arbitration exam. Li Chunfeng said categorically.

Luo Yun was surprised by Li Chunfeng's 180-degree change in attitude, it seemed that something must have happened to make him have such a big change.

"Master, why do you want to take me as an apprentice now?"

"It's none of your business, you just have to do what the old man taught you, don't embarrass me!"

"That's a must, Master, you just want me to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, and I won't give up!"

"What is the oil pot on the knife mountain and down the oil pot, what you are about to face is much more terrifying than this. I ask you, you should have read the dictionary about the spirit shell."

Luo Yun nodded and said, "Master, according to the dictionary, the spirit shell of a ghost has a protective effect, but I don't have a spirit shell, can I pass the exam?" ”

"Without the protection of the spirit shell, you will only have to die if you go to take the exam."

“!! So what should I do, there should be no problem with this spirit armor given to me by Black Impermanence, right? ”

"Spirit armor?" Li Chunfeng looked at the shroud on Luo Yun's body, immediately understood, and couldn't help laughing.

"Silly boy, how could the eighth child be so generous to give you spirit armor, you must know that in the ghost world, spirit armor is a rare object, what you are wearing is just the first generation of spirit shells, the first generation of spirit shells are similar to human spacesuits, you wear this to take the exam and there is no return."

"So what to do, didn't you say there is still 0.1% hope?"

"The old man said that the eighth man would not be so generous, but he didn't say that the king of the world would not be so generous, do you remember the glass feather coat that the king of the world gave you?"

Luo Yun has always kept the red sandalwood box by his side like a treasure, after all, it was a gift from the sister of the king of the world, and he had to collect it well.

"But didn't you say that the spiritual power is not enough to see? What is this glass feather coat? ”

"Glass feather coat, one of the ten treasures of the ghost world, the strongest defensive spirit armor in the ghost world, it seems that the king of the world has foresight, so I gave it to you!"

"Spirit armor, great, then I can pass the exam!" Luo Yun jumped up happily.

"Don't be too happy, kid, with your current spirit energy, you can't even see the body of the spirit armor, let alone use the glass feather coat."

"What then? What exactly is the spirit energy you keep talking about? ”

"It's useless to say, you can take care of it yourself! You pay attention to the two kinds of pictures on the display screen, and see what is the difference between the structure of ghosts and humans" After saying that, two pictures were displayed from the Spirit Realm.

This is a diagram of the structure of the human body, although both have the appearance of a human being, but the structure inside is very different, the one on the left is obviously a diagram of the structure of the human body, and you can see the various organs, blood vessels and nerves in the human body from the diagram.

In the figure on the right, there is nothing in the humanoid body, only a rotating blue vortex can be seen in the chest cavity, the vortex is connected to countless capillary-sized pipes, and the pipes are slowly flowing a trace of tiny water, and those small water flows through the pipe and then reconverges into the blue vortex after the pipe flows through the body.

"See, the humanoid surface of the ghost man is the spirit shell, and the things inside like the blue vortex are the spirit body, and the thing like the slightest stream of water is the energy of the spirit body, and those capillary-sized pipes are the circuits used to input and output energy, these energy circuits are also called spirit networks, the vortex is equivalent to the human heart, and after the energy flows out of the whirlpool, the energy is distributed and output for the ghost people to use through the spirit network spread all over the spirit shell. This is the same as humans use the blood oxygen in the heart to send energy throughout the body. ”

"But the difference is that the spirit network on the spirit shell can be reversed, it can input the energy absorbed on the spirit shell into the spirit body storage, and the energy stored in the spirit body is driving any activity of the ghost through the output of the spirit network, this process is called the energy cycle of the spirit shell, once the spirit shell is damaged, the circulation of the spirit network will be destroyed, and the balance of energy will be broken, as long as the energy consumed is more than the energy supplemented, the ghost man will die like a human after a while."

"It turns out that the process of ghost people using the spirit shell to absorb and release energy energy is the same as the process of human beings eating food for metabolism and replenishing energy!" Luo Yun suddenly realized.

"Good boy! That's right, the old man is asking you what kind of energy you have in your human world? ”

"Isn't there any mechanical energy, chemical energy, potential energy, internal energy and the like" Fortunately, Luo Yun's physics is still so-so, or it will be embarrassing.

"That's right! When a person eats a certain food, the enzymes in the digestive organs in his body will decompose the food to produce chemical energy, and the chemical energy is converted into various other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, human beings can run and jump, converted into internal energy, and the human body can maintain body temperature, which should be understandable. ”

Luo Yun nodded, and couldn't help but give Li Chunfeng a thumbs up in his heart, he originally thought that Li Chunfeng was from the Tang Dynasty in his previous life, and he didn't know anything about modern science, how did he know that he would know so much about modern physics. It seems that there is a reason why the ghost world made him the minister of science and technology.

"One of the functions of the spirit shell absorbs energy, it is equivalent to the digestive tract of human beings, and then supplies energy to the spirit, and the spirit body is converted after obtaining energy, and it becomes other forms of energy for the ghost people to use, and the energy ghost people who convert through the spirit body can drive the spirit shell, and energy is the only element to ensure the survival of ghosts on this harsh planet."

"But I don't have a spirit shell to absorb energy now, according to what you said, even if I have the treasure of the ghost world, the glazed feather coat, I can't use it, so wouldn't taking the exam be a life of death."

"Hey, hey, hey! Therefore, the old man is the smartest person in the ghost world, and the mountain man has his own clever plan. ”

Li Chunfeng smiled mysteriously: "You are taking a closer look at the human body structure diagram on the left, what do you see?"

When Luo Yun raised his head again to look at the human body structure diagram, he took a step back in surprise

"This is ... This is..... ”

(On July 12, 2016, Luo Yun learned about the ghost man's spirit shell through the survival dictionary and worshipped Li Chunfeng as his teacher.) Spirits? )
