Chapter 158: The Mystery of Rebirth

Luo Hai handed over a high-energy nutrient with a calming medicine added to it.

Meng Chao drank it all and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Hey, you shouldn't have cultivated any evil dao exercises, right?"

Luo Hai said half-seriously and half-jokingly, "I once asked my dad if there is a way to be like you, who has just entered college and has never been exposed to real wilderness battles, but can have excellent consciousness and rich experience like an elite special forces soldier who has experienced a hundred battles."

He said, "Yes."

"For example, using superbrain technology to create a virtual world, increase the degree of neurostimulation to 500%, make people suffer five times more intense pain in virtual training than in reality, and also extend the ratio of virtual and real time to five to one, spending five hours in the virtual world, and in reality, only one hour has passed.

"With this method, immersion in virtual warfare for a long time makes it possible to imprint the combat experience of elite special forces into the depths of the brain, so that the ignorant rookie can become a veteran for the rest of his life.

"However, he strongly discouraged me from doing this, because such an extreme cultivation would inevitably pay a terrible price."

Meng Chao was slightly stunned, and said in a hoarse voice: "What price?" ”

"If you want to get the combat experience of veterans, you must also bear the mental pain of veterans, the real war is not a bloody game, even the most just war, it is very likely to completely destroy the spirit of the victor, suffer from all kinds of 'battlefield syndrome', and suffer from the curse of war until death."

Luo Haidao, "If a real warrior can still resist this curse with an iron will and a long time, then the imposters who are 'quick' to be 'quickened' by artificial methods will definitely not be able to withstand the extremely strong spiritual impact, and 99% of them will go crazy."

"In fact, there are many forces in Dragon City, all of which have developed similar 'super soldier projects', but unfortunately, most of them have failed, and even caused bloody tragedies, mainly not a matter of strength, but of the heart.

"Meng Chao, do you still remember the booklet we read on the first day we came to the Transcendent Tower to check in?

"The transcendent has absorbed too much energy, and the brain cells are constantly in the crazy agitation of the spiritual magnetic field, and every minute and second is overloaded.

"We're like a race car that is racing to the limit, and the slightest stimulus can trigger the strongest reaction, so our emotions, desires, and even thoughts are more likely to get out of control than ordinary people.

"Sometimes, it's not the monsters that are good at controlling the mind, it's ourselves."

Meng Chao looked at Luo Hai in a daze and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"My dad said that the so-called monsters are not only around Dragon City, but also in the hearts of each of us, and as soon as all humans are born, there is a small monster living in the depths of their hearts."

Luo Haidao, "It's just that, in the vast majority of cases, human individuals are relatively weak and suppressed, suppressed by morality, law, social order and state violence, this monster does not dare to move, and over time, people ignore its existence, and think that they are really some kind of good men and women."

"However, as the power of the transcendent grows stronger, whether it is morality, law, social order, or the violent organs of the state, they will gradually become unable to help us, and this monster will awaken and begin to show its teeth and claws, exposing you to the deepest part of your heart...... Be true to yourself.

"It's like many people who behave mildly and humbly when they have no money, are benevolent and reasonable, loyal to love and family, and are well-known good people, but once they get rich, they are poor and extravagant, and they do misbehaps, and they are like two people in the past.

"Actually, he was a good person in the past, but he didn't have 'bad' capital, and under the nourishment of money and power, the monster in his heart woke up and soon devoured the outer layer of human skin.

"Meng Chao, the so-called cultivation is not only the improvement of combat effectiveness, but also the monsters in the depths of your heart, if possible, take it easy, don't be too anxious to improve the realm."

Luo Hai is heartfelt, frank and sincere.

The so-called shallow and deep words are taboo in life, Luo Hai is so smart, and he has been the president of Jianzhong High School, these sharp words should not have been said.

This is really treating Meng Chao as a friend.

Meng Chao could feel his kindness, nodded and said, "I will, thank you." ”

"That's good, am I talking a little too much?"

Luo Hai said with some embarrassment, "Everyone has their own transcendent path, but cultivating the soul and recognizing oneself is indeed very important, just like my father, he has already climbed to the peak of the Heavenly Realm, and he can reach the Divine Realm by taking one more step, obviously the strength, spiritual magnetic force field and comprehension of the life level have all arrived, but he has stopped moving forward for a long time, why do you think it is?" ”

Meng Chao said: "Why? ”

"He didn't dare."

Luo Hai shrunk his neck, as if he was afraid of being discovered by his father, and whispered, "He said that he was afraid that after taking this step, after arriving at the God Realm, he would see the deepest part of his heart, that monster-like self." ”

This sentence made Meng Chao ponder for a long time.

Even Luo Wu, the Soul Breaking Sword at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, didn't dare to see his true self clearly.

As for him, should he see clearly what the real Doomsday Remnant Soul looks like, and completely release this remnant soul to occupy the dominance of "Meng Chao"?

Meng Chao felt that he had to continue to cultivate, fight, and think before he could find the answer.

"One word to wake up the person in the dream, it seems that in the past month or so of cultivation, I am indeed a little impatient."

Meng Chao smiled and stretched out his hand towards Luo Hai, "Originally, I thought that you and I were just a purely commercial cooperation relationship, but if you can say this today, we are real friends!" ”

Luo Hai laughed and shook hands with him: "Don't you think business partners are more reliable than true friends?" I have no other advantages, just one, I know very well what I want to do, what kind of person I want to become, and what kind of road I want to take! ”

"Oh?" Meng Chao couldn't help but ask, "What kind of path do you want to take?" ”

"First of all, of course, it is to constantly sharpen yourself in the war, at least with the strength of the Heavenly Realm."

Luo Hai said briskly, "Then, I will work with you to make the company bigger, starting from the Thunder Knife, expanding to everything that young people need to cultivate and fight, and then involving greater benefits beyond the fog."

"When the primitive accumulation is completed, I will run for the ordinary councilor of the 'Five Hundred City Council', and then the senior councilor of the 'Survival Committee', and finally, win the supreme power of Dragon City!

"So, you understand why I'm saying this today, I don't want to one day, when I was running for mayor, a scandal suddenly broke out, saying that the right-hand man who has been loyal to me for decades is actually a demon who secretly cultivates evil skills, has already gone mad, and has a distorted spirit!"

"Wait."

Meng Chao couldn't help but smile, and his mood gradually became cheerful, "You didn't win against me in two consecutive battles, why am I your right-hand man?" ”

"Winning the highest power, it's not about who can fight better, even the 'Martial God' Lei Zongchao has never been the mayor!"

Luo Hai smiled and said, "Anyway, I have accepted the setting that your strength is so strong that it is perverted, if you think about it carefully, the combat power of the right-hand man is slightly stronger than that of the lord, which seems to be very reasonable." ”

Both of them laughed as they spoke.

It swept away the somewhat oppressive atmosphere of a moment ago.

"By the way, I want to ask you something."

Meng Chao diverted the topic, "How much do you know about those temporary hospitals and underground clinics twenty or thirty years ago?" ”

Luo Hai thought for a while: "At that time, Longcheng was fighting all year round, the citizens had to fight monsters every day, and the social order had just been rebuilt, and there were not so many public hospitals, but there were many temporary hospitals and underground clinics, what do you want to ask?" ”

"That's right, I have a friend's father, who was attacked by a monster more than twenty years ago, and it is said that his heart was bitten through, and he was about to die."

Meng Chao explained, "As a result, he was treated in an underground clinic and came back to life, but unfortunately the scene was chaotic at the time, and after the passage of time, he forgot which doctor in which hospital."

"After so many years, the old man often talks about his former life-saving benefactor, and I want to thank him personally, so I will help to inquire casually."

"I see, that's a problem."

Luo Haidao, "I advise your friend's father to forget it, most of the people who had the strength to open temporary hospitals and underground clinics back then were strong people who had a deep understanding of psionics, life sciences and gene modulation technology, and now, these strong people have all ascended to the heavenly realm or even the divine realm, with high positions and great powers, and they have all kinds of opportunities, and they can't be easily reached." ”

"The powerhouse of the Divine Realm ......" Meng Chao thought thoughtfully.

"If you want to find materials from the past, you can go to the Great Library of the Transcendent Tower, which stores many books, documents, newspapers, videos and audio-visual materials from the past half century in Dragon City, covering everything and everything."

Luo Haidao, "But most of these materials are fragmented, unsystematic, very large and chaotic, and trying to find useful information in them is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack." ”

Meng Chao pondered for a moment: "I'm here, I'll go and look for it, and when I look back and see my friends, I can count my best efforts." ”

"Okay, then I'll take you to the big library." Luo Hai opened the door and suddenly turned around and said, "But you have to tell me something." ”

Meng Chao said: "What's the matter?" ”

Luo Hai squeezed his eyebrows: "This friend of yours is a woman, right?" ”

……

The Great Library is on the third floor of the Transcendent Tower.

This is an area accessible to both ordinary citizens and transcendents.

Most of the books in it, as well as newspapers and periodicals and audio-visual materials, can be borrowed by ordinary citizens at will.

Meng Chao knew that twenty or thirty years ago, before the construction of the network in Dragon City was completed, the interference of spiritual energy was quite serious, and the dissemination of electronic information was hindered, but ancient newspapers, leaflets, and mimeographed pamphlets were in vogue, which were used to issue orders, coordinate organizations, and boost morale.

He wanted to find out if there were any newspapers, magazines or mimeographed pamphlets related to medicine at the time.

Let's see if you can find the "X eye" pattern on it.

"Wait a minute, I'm retrieving the catalogue of relevant newspapers and periodicals at that time, there are a lot of them, which one do you need?"

The library staff told Meng Chao that except for the materials between July and September of the 22nd year of the New Era, other materials could be retrieved.

"Why can't those three months?" Meng Chao asked casually.

"Burned."

The library staff said, "The explosion in June somehow caused a fire to reach our storeroom and affected a batch of materials, so you needed those months' materials?" ”

Meng Chao calculates the time, and my mother should not have met the X-eye pattern so early.

"No, thank you."

He bowed his head and studied the catalog intently.

Ten seconds later, the head is raised again, and the pupils constrict.

"Excuse me, you just said that the explosion in June was in the Transcendent Tower? When, exactly! ”

His expression frightened the library staff a little, and the other party looked at him, and then at Luo Hai next to him.

"What's wrong, it doesn't feel like you've been normal all day."

Luo Hai tugged at his sleeve, "The explosion in June, is there a problem?" ”

Meng Chao looked at him: "Do you know about this explosion?" ”

"You know, it seems that the core laboratory under the transcendent tower, one of the few that leads directly to the primeval ruins has exploded."

Luo Haidao, "It's not clear about the specifics, only the powerhouses of the God Realm can enter those core laboratories, even my father was turned away, they often conduct all kinds of extremely dangerous experiments, explosions or something, it's normal."

"Having said that, it's also quite strange, the security measures and psionic shields of the Ancient Ruins Laboratory should be very tight, no matter how serious the accident was in the past, the kind that caused the powerhouses of the God Realm to fall, it didn't affect the ground, I don't know what happened this time in June, there were a few wisps of strange fire tearing through the defense measures and rushing to it.

"Fortunately, it's just a few small flames, and the loss is not big, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing, I want to know exactly what time the explosion is on June." Meng Chao took a deep breath and asked as calmly as possible.

"That day, I think it wasn't long after lunch."

The library staff recalled, "I forgot the exact number, the seventh or the eighth?" ”

"I don't remember exactly, I just remember that day my dad came home and talked about it, and later, when the fog came, the monster attacked, and my dad went out to fight, so he didn't continue to talk." Luo Hai added.

Meng Chao let out an "oh", pretended to be calm, and continued to look down and browse the catalog.

But his mind is completely off this matter.

Because, he remembers it very clearly.

In early June, there was only one attack in Dragon City with a relatively large scale that required the attack of a monster of the level of "Soul Breaking Sword Luo Wu".

It was the day he was born again.

He returned from the apocalypse at the same time that afternoon when a strange explosion occurred at the base of the Transcendent Tower, in the laboratory of the Ancient Ruins.
