Chapter 554: A One-Time Soul Box
Who exactly is Siris?
Speaking of which, how could a prop like the Soul Box that has a chance to bring people back to life be the kind of road goods that everyone has a copy of.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Cristiano, then you should know the effect of this soul box, right?" ”
Cristiano nodded and said: "As the name suggests, the soul box is a prop that can hold the soul, according to legend, this is another race in cooperation with our ancient family, because its materials are very rare, so in the hands of the entire ancient family, there are only more than a hundred soul boxes, and at least half of the soul boxes are sealed in the secret treasury of our ancient family, and these soul boxes will not be taken out and used unless they are forced to do so." ”
"As for the soul boxes that have been issued, they are basically in the hands of the high-level people of the ancient one, as far as I know, our ancient one clan had a soul box in the hands of the archons of the earth, and the number of other soul boxes on the earth should not exceed two, as for the hands of the remaining two possible soul boxes, I am not sure, because this is no longer something that I, a low-level clerk, can understand, but Mr. Meteor, the soul box in your hand now, I don't think it's the Archon's Soul Box, because the Soul Boxes issued to the Archon are all specially marked. ”
Liu Xing looked at the soul box in his hand and didn't find any special markings.
However, after Cristiano said this, Liu Xing became even more curious about the identity of Siris.
Although the Ancients do not encourage childbearing, and basically only give birth to a new generation of Ancients when they need to occupy a new colony, there were also some famous Ancients in the universe at that time, and the number of Ancients could not exceed 10 billion.
And among these tens of billions of ancients, there are only more than a hundred soul boxes, and the ancients who can get the soul boxes are the big ones who take one out of a million.
Then Siris's identity is even more amazing than Liu Xing imagined.
But then again, this soul box is not an exclusive product of the Ancients, but is made in collaboration with other races, but listening to Cristiano's tone, it doesn't seem to know which race the specific partner is from.
Could it be another good thing done by the backstabber, Naiarathotep?
Liu Xing now has some conditioned reflexes, as long as he encounters something that he can't figure out, he wants to put this pot directly on Naiarattotip's head.
In the Cthulhu Run game, everything is Nyaratotip's fault...
At this point, the research data is almost finished.
"I see, it seems that although the ancient people at that time did not study clearly why I was able to fuse the abilities of other mythical creatures, they had also used other means to imitate this process, so that those animals with relatively low strength could absorb each other's abilities, but this absorption efficiency was very low, and there was a great chance that they would have to be in their shape, unexpected, and the most important thing was that the stability of these synthetic beasts was very poor, and the more other animals these synthetic beasts absorbed, the shorter the time they could survive, basically the large synthetic beast that survives to the end only has a one-day lifespan. Cristiano opened his mouth to analyze.
Liu Xing nodded, touched his chin and said: "Although the ancient clan has a high attainment in genetic engineering, there is no way to succeed in simply and crudely hybridizing the genes of so many animals in a short period of time, and now these synthetic beasts are completely free-range, and it is basically impossible to successfully synthesize." ”
Crisiano sighed and said helplessly: "Liu Xing, you are right, I think the goal of those researchers back then was to find a relatively stable formula for synthetic beasts, and then put it on the battlefield, after all, when I was expelled from the ancient clan, the ancient clan had basically lost all the ground cities, and our ancient clan was indeed very poor in ground warfare and tough battles, so these synthetic beasts can indeed make up for the shortcomings of our ancient clan, Although the manufacturing cost of these synths is still quite high. ”
Liu Xing thought about it for a while, and decided to get to the point: "By the way, Mr. Cristiano, can you use the equipment in this research facility to create a suitable ancient body?" ”
Cristiano raised his eyebrows first, and then said with a smile: "I see, it seems that there should already be an ancient soul in this soul box, but then again, the equipment in this research facility is not complete, some of the key equipment has been dismantled during the retreat, and the materials that can be used now are also very poor, so although the equipment in this research facility can make an ancient body, the data of this body in all aspects is very poor, It can even be said to be rubbish, I believe that the ancient man in the soul box should be reluctant to use such a body, after all, there is such a saying in our ancient family - no matter how good the soul box is, it can only be used once. ”
Can the Soul Crate only be used once?
Liu Xing looked at Cristiano with some surprise, but he didn't expect this kind of statement.
Seeing Liu Xing's surprised face, Cristiano explained: "As I said before, the materials of the soul box are very rare, so there are only more than a hundred soul boxes made by the ancient people, and the most important material of the soul box is the core of the soul box - the soul gem, this soul gem is just the name provided by the mysterious race, because our ancient people have never found soul gems in the universe, and of course these soul gems are also graded. Different levels of soul gems, the soul integrity and length of time that can be preserved are different, according to your Huaxia Daomen, the highest level soul gem can completely preserve the three souls and seven spirits, while some low-level soul gems can also save the soul, but there will always be a lost soul. ”
"But no matter what level of soul gem, when the soul it preserves leaves it, it will completely scrap this soul gem and become an ordinary gem that looks good, so the soul box is just a one-time item, so I think the owner of the soul box in your hand, Mr. Meteor, should choose an ancient body that is really suitable for it to be resurrected, rather than just finding a body to resurrect, after all, this is related to its life for the rest of its life, Unless it retires in human society like I do. ”
Liu Xing nodded, he didn't expect this soul box to be so exquisite.
"Well, I've read all of this research now, but unfortunately it didn't help me, and it seems that my trip to Jekyl Island was in vain." Cristiano said with a sigh.
Liu Xing nodded and said, "Then Mr. Cristiano, are we going to withdraw from Jekyl Island now?" ”
Crisiano thought for a while, pointed outside and said: "We can leave Jekyr Island at any time, but I don't know if those synthetic beasts outside will answer or not, although Mr. Meteor you have certain permissions, but if nothing else, you still can't control these synthetic beasts, so as long as we leave the research facility, we will inevitably be attacked by these synthetic beasts, so it is not easy for us to leave Jekyr Island now." ”
Liu Xing frowned, these synthetic beasts outside are indeed a big problem, after all, the current combat effectiveness of his group is very worrying...
"How about we wait until this round of experiments is over before we leave Jekyr Island?" Liu Xing asked.
Cristiano nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too, because I am still in a sealed state, so my ability can only be used once a day, so I can only solve a few synthetics at most, as for Mr. Meteor, because you have lost the advantage of firearms, your combat effectiveness should have decreased a lot, plus you are not good at hand-to-hand combat, so you may not be able to beat a synthesizer together." ”
Although it's a bit embarrassing, Liu Xing also has to admit that his group may not be able to beat a synthetic beast now...
So, after a brief discussion, Liu Xing and his party decided to stay in the research facility for the time being, waiting for the end of this round of experiments before leaving Jekir Island.
Therefore, Liu Xing and his entourage came to the dormitory area in the research facility.
The rooms of the Ancients are also very distinctive, with almost everything in one room being placed in the center, and the surrounding walls are painted with various decorative patterns.
Of course, because the evacuation of the researchers was a bit hasty, in addition to the important personal belongings, there were also a lot of daily necessities left in the room, although these daily necessities were really useless in the eyes of Liu Xing and others.
Of course, as Liu Xing, who can understand the language of the ancients, when he saw the "tentacle maintenance cream" in front of him, as well as a comic called "Super Ancient Captain", he suddenly felt that the ancient people who were originally quite tall now seem to be quite "close to the people"...
Looking at Liu Xing with a confused face, Crisiano said with a smile: "Mr. Meteor, although the scientific and technological level of our ancient clan is very advanced, it does not mean that our ancient clan will not pay attention to other aspects, you must know that although the ancient clan is still relatively poor compared with humans in terms of entertainment, there are comics, movies and TV series, so Mr. Meteor, you should not think of us mythical creature races too highly, or too rigid and boring." ”
Liu Xing nodded, Cristiano was right, he was indeed a little preconceived, and he thought about mythical creatures too far from reality... But this is also normal, after all, in the Cthulhu Run game that Liu Xing came into contact with, they only described how terrible these mythical creatures were, and did not mention what the daily life of these mythical creatures was...
For example, the deepdiver in front of you who wants to do so may have confessed to another diver he had a crush on yesterday; Another example is the ghoul who is about to break you to pieces, but he is actually a lover of literature, and of course, the literature of the ghoul clan is likely to be very bloody and violent.
Thinking about it like this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that this setting was still a mystery.
After the rooms were assigned, everyone rested.
After all, according to the previous information, no matter how fast this round of experiments is, it will take a few days to end, and it is impossible to open the secret room time in the research facility, so Liu Xing and the others are not interested in discussing it, so they each rest for an afternoon.
In the evening, Crisiano took Liu Xing out a box of canned food from the storage room of the research facility.
"Mr. Meteor, you should probably know that although our ancient family has the dual characteristics of plants and animals, but in the final analysis, our ancient family is still more inclined to animals, so although our ancient family can absorb energy through photosynthesis and maintain our daily activities, we are more inclined to eat meat to obtain energy, so after our ancient family entered the earth, we created a lot of pastures on the continent to breed all kinds of animals, so our ancient family's canned food is basically based on meat." Cristiano said, picking up a can about the size of a baby milk can.
Liu Xing nodded, but still said with some concern: "Uh, Mr. Cristiano, you should know that the physiological structure of our human beings is a little different from that of your ancients, so are these cans really suitable for us humans to eat?" ”
Cristiano smiled and said seriously: "Of course it is suitable, you can rest assured that Mr. Meteor is this, because you have all seen it now, those animals outside are made by our ancient family, so since you can eat those animals outside without any problem, then these cans should be no problem for you, and the canned food of our ancient family is relatively original, without adding any special materials... However, I'm also quite worried that you won't be able to eat these canned food, after all, the taste of these animals raised by our ancient people is more biased towards our ancient people. ”
Liu Xing nodded again, because on the ingredient list of these cans, there were only some animal names and water that Liu Xing had never heard of.
As for the taste of these animals, we will only know when we eat them later.
I hope it doesn't taste too bad.
While walking and chatting with Cristiano, Liu Xing can be regarded as learning about the real ancient family.
A flesh-and-blood ancient people.
