Chapter 23: The Plane of Consciousness
Kiyohime quickly cleared out the monsters near Kagoshima.
When the group went back, Su Ziyu saw the group of night parades in black suits, led by bald men who were walking from the sea with a group of people, all of whom were adult men, with very sluggish expressions at this time, and were being escorted forward by seven or eight black suits.
"Her Royal Highness Shirahime." The bald man walked over with a respectful expression after seeing Qing Ji and said, "You have helped many times this time." ”
Hearing this, Qing Ji nodded slightly and said, "What about the casualties?" ”
The bald man took out a small book with a black cover and flipped through it, looked up and said, "Sixteen are dead." ”
"There was a girl in Kagoshima City who was killed."
"The others were all seafarers on board, and there wasn't a single survivor."
"We've found eight ghosts."
Speaking of this, he pointed to the ghosts floating from the sea behind him and said, "These people are all tainted by the void. ”
"We have to be sent to reincarnation as soon as possible."
Qing Ji nodded slightly in understanding, "Got it." ”
"You go get busy first."
Contaminate?
Su Ziyu curiously turned on his spiritual vision and looked at the ghosts behind the black suits, all of whom had just died. Under the influence of the vision, he could see a less obvious black dot on the chests of these adult men, and combined with the blank expressions of these ghosts, he could roughly guess that it was humanity that was lost.
Ghosts also have humanity in them.
Generally speaking, the soul consciousness of people who have just died is still very clear, and they will not lose their self-consciousness in a short time, but the consciousness of these crew members is now very confused.
This is the result of the loss of humanity.
If you stay in the world for too long, ordinary ghosts will slowly lose their humanity and become evil spirits, resentful spirits, earthbound spirits, etc., so Hades will not let ghosts stay in the yang world for too long. But the speed of this loss of humanity is not very fast, and there are no special circumstances that may have dissipated the soul and there is still residual consciousness.
However, these contaminated ghosts are a little different, and Suziyu can feel that their humanity is draining quite quickly.
Right on their chests, it's from where humanity is drained.
The Hundred Ghost Plane definitely doesn't have the Initial Fire.
So the void in front of the void chest definitely has nothing to do with the initial fire, Su Ziyu carefully observed these ghosts, and said to himself: "It's not the Dark Ring, but why is their humanity draining so quickly?" ”
"Wait." He said suddenly.
Then Su Ziyu walked directly to one of the ghosts with a dull expression, and said in a deep voice, "Let me take a look at their situation." ”
With that, he reached out and touched the chest of one of the ghosts.
In a flash!
Su Ziyu's consciousness came into contact with a strange void world, it was an empty world like a fog, there was no life existence, there was no material existence, there was no earth under his feet, there was no sky above his head, and he couldn't feel the boundary, it was a bit like the source sea that he came into contact with when his spiritual energy was promoted, but it was very different, because there was only the spiritual energy gathered together by chaotic consciousness.
"What is this place?" Su Ziyu looked around a little blankly, the gray mist was the embodiment of spiritual energy, not the physical mist.
Suddenly.
Within his spiritual perception appeared an incomparably large spirit body, its spirit body was as large as a planet, and the moment it moved here, the space-time monitor system automatically reacted.
"Detected the spiritual fluctuations of [Ancient Abomination]! ……”
"Activate the self-protection mechanism."
"Cut off the spiritual connection! ……”
Knock knock.
Su Ziyu's spirit seemed to have been hit, he kicked back two steps, his heartbeat was not stopping, he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead, patted his cheek, and said secretly: "! ”
"I almost forgot about the side effects of psionic vision again!"
That's definitely an evil god-level thing!
The side effects were almost the same as when touching the statue with your hand.
The void in the void chest is not a dark ring, but it is also a similar existence, and the effect is to drain humanity.
In the Black Soul Plane, although the Dark Ring will lose humanity, the humanity that flows out will be dispersed, and some enemies will also drop humanity.
But the void is a little different.
The human nature flowing from the hole in its chest is directly into that strange space, not escaping in the hundred ghost plane, and at the same time, in the process of losing humanity, a part of the chaotic psychic energy will also pour into their bodies, and the hole in the chest is actually a passage connecting the unknown space, so as long as the ghost becomes empty, it will immediately have the strength that is not weaker than ordinary monsters.
Those chaotic psychic energies poured into the void's bodies, and began to distort their forms, transforming them into all sorts of strange forms.
But that's really all a projection of consciousness.
For example, the big void in the form of a clown, he may think that he is a clown in the deepest part of his consciousness, an existence that is amused and teased by everyone.
"Husband?"
"What's wrong with you?" Qing Ji's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly came over to help Su Ziyu.
"It's fine." Su Ziyu shook his head lightly and said, "The spirit sensed something that was not very good. ”
"It's not a big problem."
That special spatial form is very weird, it belongs to a kind of consciousness space, and the ancient abomination perceived by the spirit should not be able to escape.
The human nature that flows out of the void has entered that space and directly turned into the nutrients of the space itself.
"Is there a world that feeds on human nature?" Su Ziyu muttered.
The Hundred Ghost Plane is not the source of the birth of the void.
That strange space of consciousness is the cause of the hollowness in the chest.
"There were originally so many living people in the Black Soul Plane?"
"Where did all that humanity end up? Abyss? Where the hell is the abyss? Just because the initial fire is dim? Is humanity completely gone? ”
Suziyu can't figure out the problem inside for the time being.
But he was sure of one thing.
That is, this special monster with a hollow hole on its chest, its existence is related to a strange consciousness space located in the lower layer, and this space itself is eating human nature.
Or, human nature can be embodied as the seven emotions and six desires in consciousness.
The Black Soul Plane is completely drained into unconscious living corpses, and these voids seem to be some kind of emotional obsession as the dominant consciousness, driven by hunger to hunt and devour souls.
"It's going to be the problem inside."
"Unless I can enter the abyss of the Black Soul Plane and take a look!" Su Ziyu muttered.
The Sun King Gwen once sent his strongest knight to suppress the Abyss, but no one knows exactly what the Abyss is, only that the existence polluted by the Abyss must be removed, and they will all go berserk, and the task of the Flange Immortals is to suppress the spread of the Abyss.
For this reason, they did not hesitate to slaughter the city and destroy the country!
The characteristics of the abyss are contagious, polluting, human outbursts and consciousness madness, as well as being suppressed by the power of fire.
Void is also similar in this regard.
There is a void corruption on the souls of these slain crew members, and if they are not sent to the underworld, they will become void sooner or later, and the signs of the clown-like explosion of great void humanity are obvious, and the chaotic crazy consciousness can be felt with the eyes closed.
The ring of darkness is not visible to the living.
But if you look directly at the soul of a living corpse with your spiritual vision, you can see the ring of darkness on your chest.
The Sun King, Gwen, had also used the power of fire to set seals in order to suppress the undead who had been exposed by the Ring of Darkness, who were basically imprisoned in the Ring of Seals, but there would be a ring of flame embers in the hollow in their chests.
………………
The secret realm of Taoyuan.
After dealing with the monsters that ran out, Su Ziyu and Kiyohime returned to their residences.
Void has appeared on the plane of hundreds of ghosts for hundreds of years, but only ghosts will be polluted into void, and there is no problem for living people.
This is completely different from the Dark Soul Plane.
There is no need for an initial fire to keep the world going here, just beware of the possibility of ghosts falling.
There will be an evil side in any world, even if there is no void, ghosts wandering in the yang world are easy to become resentful spirits. Seeing that Ji and their actions seem to have rich experience in dealing with them, Su Ziyu doesn't have to deliberately care about anything.
As long as it is not a source of contamination affecting the plane, it is not under the control of the space-time monitor.
"Husband."
"Drink tea."
Qing Ji knelt in front of Su Ziyu, gently poured him a cup of tea, and said softly, "Where has my husband gone all these years?" ”
"Forehead......" Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "I've been to a lot of places." ”
"Spent a long time in a very desperate world."
Speaking of this, Su Ziyu paused and talked a little about the Black Soul Plane.
Half an hour later.
Qing Ji couldn't help but sigh and said, "There is still such a desperate world! ……”
"yes." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "I haven't done anything so far." ”
"The only way to do this is to let the survivors hide in the world in the painting first."
in the room.
Both of them fell silent.
Suddenly, Qing Ji raised her head and looked at Su Ziyu in front of her gently, and said slowly, "Is there something that Husband is hiding from me?" ”
"I see you look a little uneasy."
Worst.
Am I still not good at acting?
Su Ziyu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart when he heard this, he deliberately skipped the matter of the wasteland plane before, so he was a little uneasy in his heart, on the surface, he was already paying attention to restraining the change of expression, but he didn't expect Qing Ji's perception to be so keen, and he actually noticed this.
"I'm ......" Su Ziyu suddenly stammered a little.
Qing Ji saw his embarrassed expression, couldn't help but stretch out her white palm and gently shook his hand, and whispered, "If you feel embarrassed, you can not say it." ”
"The husband is a person who wants to do great things, and there will definitely be something difficult to say."
Hearing Qing Ji's words, and then looking at her gentle face, Su Ziyu suddenly felt a little guilty and moved in his heart.
Never mind.
Die and die.
Isn't it just burned once? Now I guess I can resist it!
"I'm ......" Su Ziyu took a deep breath and began to slowly tell about the experience of the wasteland plane.
Kiyohime's expression gradually became solemn.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the whole room, and I don't know when Su Ziyu's back was already full of cold sweat, but he still insisted on saying everything.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Su Ziyu looked at Qing Ji in front of him, waiting for his final verdict.
But what he never expected was that after listening to his words, Qing Ji did not immediately go away, but tilted her head and hesitated: "What did the husband say?" You didn't think you'd have a daughter? ”
"Hmm." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "It's very unexpected." ”
Qing Ji was silent for a moment, and then said softly, "That kid is also pitiful. If you have the opportunity, your husband can accompany her more. ”
"That's right."
Speaking of this, Qing Ji's words changed sharply, and she said in a condensed voice: "The husband said that Miss Pasha has undergone advanced bionic transformation. ”
"So is she a robot now?"
It really doesn't look like an angry person.
"Not exactly." Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment and explained the content of the bionic transformation in detail.
The Hundred Ghost Plane has entered the modern era.
Kiyohime has also been exposed to a lot of things from the outside world, and she quickly understands the content of bionic transformation.
"She's not easy."
Qing Ji sighed and said in a low voice, "In order to survive, I had to transform myself into an android. ”
The atmosphere in the room was suddenly relaxed.
Qing Ji looked at Su Ziyu in front of her with a slightly playful expression, and said with a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Husband didn't dare to say it before, is it because he is afraid that the concubine will be jealous?" ”
"Hmm." Su Ziyu nodded honestly.
Qing Ji couldn't help but smile and said softly: "The concubine's heart is not so small. ”
"Besides, my husband didn't expect this to happen at all."
Androids?
Isn't that similar to a robot?
The smile on the corner of Kiyohime's mouth softened a little more, as a big youkai who has lived from the Heian period to the present, she is easy to accept some of the dregs of ancient feudal society, and Pasha is in another world. Kiyohime is most concerned about whether the other party will threaten her status, and she was a little concerned at first, but after learning that Pasha had transformed into a android in order to survive, she didn't care so much in her heart, and even had a little sympathy.
She didn't think she was narrow-minded enough to eat the vinegar of a android.
As for anything else, she didn't care even more.
The man in the feudal era did more than Su Ziyu and went out, and he just vented himself in the face of the pressure of life and death.
Although there was a little accident.
Really not angry, huh?
That is, you don't have to be burned?
Su Ziyu suddenly had a feeling of the aftermath in his heart, and his good impression of Qing Ji also rose a lot.
He was so afraid of Qingji at first because she burned people at every turn.
But now Kiyohime seems to have really changed a lot.
Can you get away with it?
Kiyohime's heart is really much broader than before.
"Husband, are you tired?"
After pouring a cup of tea for Suziyu, Qing Ji said softly: "There is a hot spring in Taoyuan Township that is very good. ”
"It's not as good as that."
"After dinner, let's go relax and rest together."
