Chapter 1403: The Source of Heroes
"What are they?" Ye Yi asked.
At this time, the Onmyoji no longer had the physical strength to answer the question, so he could only transmit the memory to Ye Yi.
An ancient image appeared in front of Ye Yi's eyes.
Since a long, long time ago, there have been many creatures called ghosts living in this magical and supernatural land.
No one knows where these creatures came from or why they live here, only that they don't want to share their land with humans, they hate humans, they do everything in their power to eliminate them, and they try to assimilate them into their own kind.
If you just hate humans, it's not a big deal.
There will be tribal conflicts in any habitable land, and humans of different races will still fight for limited survival resources, let alone different races?
But these demons don't just want human land, they also want to get the human race itself, they use the human race as a supplement to the race, and try their best to guide the human into their trap, assimilate them, pollute them, and then instigate them and their original relatives to kill each other.
In the course of the long struggle, humans have also developed the art of yin and yang, which is the only way to defeat these alien races known as ghosts.
More than 2,000 years of war have caused the ghosts to gradually decline, but the ghosts still exist, they are hundred-legged insects that are dead but not stiff, and they are still spying on humans in a corner of the city, and trying to-
"This is the lair of the ghosts, and they are constantly plundering humans and turning this place into their base...... I found this place, I came with my people to exterminate it, but we lost, we lost the battle...... I was about to be wiped out, and I suddenly received news from you...... You must have been sent by Amaterasu to save us...... Please, help the world...... Once the barrier is broken, everyone outside will ...... will all die ......"
Onmyoji's request came to his mind with sincerity and sincerity, and Ye Yi could feel his deep love for the country and for those outside who didn't know the truth and were still having fun.
"I'll help you!"
Ye Yi said to the Onmyoji.
Hearing this, Onmyoji finally swallowed his last breath.
His body quickly withered, turning into something like a dried corpse, and then his shell began to twist and deform, and his eyes opened again, emitting a demonic light.
Ye Yi was stunned, drew his knife and cut off the wrist of the onmyoji who had been transformed into a ghost, and while retreating, he said to Saladin: "Explain! What's going on! ”
"How do I know what is going on with him!"
Saladin refused to take responsibility.
At this time, Bai Sifan came over and said, "I probably know what's going on. ”
"What's going on?" Ye Yi asked.
Bai Sifan said: "From a scientific point of view, ghosts, or ghosts in this place, are actually a kind of wisdom germs. This bacterium uses the human body as an important means of energy intake and reproduction, so they will work hard to assimilate some humans and make humans their hosts. Just now, the nameless onmyoji didn't let himself be completely eroded because he had the last expectation in his heart, and maintained the last clarity, but when you gave the promise, his last trace of resistance disappeared, and he was completely eroded by the ghost fungus, and quickly transformed into a monster suitable for the survival of the ghost fungus. ”
"What ...... his physiology?"
Bai Sifan said: "I don't know the physiological pattern of this ghost fungus, but it is clear that not all people can parasitize, and not all situations can be parasitic, and in addition, the human body modified by them is not indestructible." ”
“…… These are all things that people with a little brain can guess! ”
Ye Yi said angrily.
Bai Sifan smiled dryly and said, "But you have to admit that this world is still a little more stupid." ”
“……”
Ye Yi was speechless.
Although Bai Sifan was not wrong.
……
……
After separating from the Onmyoji, who had not given up the fight until the last moment, Ye Yi and the others walked up the stairs, and the higher they went, the more they could see all kinds of strangely shaped corpses.
These are half of the lives that have been transformed by ghost fungi, and there are men, women and even pregnant women, which at first glance is simply a horror movie scene.
Because most of the people were wearing modern ordinary clothes, Ye Yi suspected that this building was an ordinary office building, and for some reason it was favored by the modern leader of the ghost fungus, and the entire building became the base of the ghost fungus's erosion world.
The Onmyoji discovered this place and sealed the entire building in another dimension while the ghosts were still thinking they were unaware, hoping to save the city without alarming the outside.
“…… They're actually quite noble. Ye Yi said lightly, "Although this noble origin is to protect your country and relatives. ”
"When most heroes go to the battlefield, they don't have the consciousness to become heroes, they just want to protect their dearest and loved people, and becoming heroes is just an accident of fate."
Zhan Haiting said softly.
Ye Yi bit his lip and said, "Yes, which hero is born to want to be a hero...... Everyone is just ordinary people who are willing to give their lives to protect their loved ones and their faith...... I hope that the people of this city can know that their happy life is built on the burden of countless people. ”
"It's hard to carry the weight forward, but for the sake of the people they really love...... No matter how hard it is, you have to keep going......"
Saladin sighed with emotion and said: "Actually, I hate human beings, selfish, despicable, shameless, and can sell everything I can in order to live, but sometimes I can't help but be touched by human beings, these people are so brave and enthusiastic, and they can give their lives without hesitation for a seemingly stupid faith......"
"Are you willing to give your life for others?" Ye Yi asked.
Saladin smiled and said, "If I were willing to give my life for others, I would not be a Prince of the Blood Clan, but some great hero in history." ”
"You're so sure you're going to be a big guy?"
Ye Yi asked rhetorically.
Saladin said: "At least not to be a pawn, by the way, life is really beautiful, but unfortunately only once." ”
"So you've turned this one and only life into a terrible marathon?"
Ye Yi's complaint made Saladin laugh dumbly, and then smiled and said, "If my life was not a marathon, we would not have met." ”
"But fundamentally, I don't want to meet you."
Ye Yi seriously cleared up the relationship.
Saladin smiled slightly, unwilling to continue with meaningless explanations.
At this time, the advancing team also encountered the first real enemy.
