Chapter 137: The Possibility of Immortality
Anyway, no matter how the outside world reacts, the next thing is none of Mo Chen's business.
He made sure that the mysterious phenomenon on the island was gone, and the abnormal weather was back to normal, so he had already disposed of all traces before calling the follow-up troops to land.
The main thing is to make some people who have seen or heard something they shouldn't know - directly lose the relevant memory impression.
In this way, they will still know some of the things that happened on the island, but when it comes to specific people or events, that part of the memory is not correct.
Regardless of how the state apparatus operates, the information that can be confirmed is the abnormal climate on the island, the statements of the Solari thugs about the Sun Queen, and the roles played by Mo Chen and Miss Crawford in it will not appear in any files.
How good this is, it has left enough space for countless experts and professors or brain replenishment emperors.
Just like in the past few days, as a member of the archaeological team who went to the Dragon Delta region specifically to lock the legend of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, and really happened to encounter bad luck, Laura, who woke up, was also asked various questions several times.
But those questions are also decent, after all, no one can suddenly think that a girl who is obviously a victim of distress will have anything directly related to the disappearance of the previous mysterious phenomenon without any evidence.
They didn't even know that Sanmantha, who was next to them, was also a key figure in it.
They just thought that this short-haired black girl with dual citizenship was too unlucky, and she was still asleep until now, and the degree of concussion seemed to be more serious.
After several inquiries and Laura's approval, they wanted to obtain all the materials that the latter's team had prepared for the archaeological project of the ancient kingdom of Yamatai, and they didn't bother again.
Mo Chen, who disguised himself as the same innocent lying gun, only accepted one routine questioning.
He calmly dealt with such a stress-free review process, which I am afraid that even the officials themselves did not find meaningful, and by the way, he used the identity of a patient to get through the difficulties from "parents".
After that, he settled in a major hospital in Japan under the official arrangement with peace of mind, and began a leisure life of recuperating his body and conditioning his state.
The reason why it was arranged in Japan was because of the principle of proximity, after all, the Dragon Delta area itself was near Japan, and the personnel composition of the victims was complex, so it was difficult to make targeted arrangements for this in a short period of time.
For example, Laura is British, Sanmantha has dual citizenship of Japan and Portugal, and there are many people like them, and there are even some more seriously injured-
It's impossible to send them across the ocean and return to China for treatment, right? To put it mildly, if you die on the road, whose responsibility is it?
In addition, there are still many victims whose status has not been determined, and I don't know if there will continue to be people who will be rescued, so it is impossible for everyone to arrange a special plane to send them back to China or something.
In this way, Mo Chen spent most of the month in the hospital.
One is to reassure the pair of "parents" until they returned home with peace of mind after rushing to visit their son; The second is that he also needs such a place and time to digest the loot he has obtained before.
……
……
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed, Sanmantha had already woken up and been discharged from the hospital, and Laura had already gone out to reunite with her companions.
But Mo Chen has been nesting in the hospital.
After such a long period of time, he didn't even have much to digest that huge spiritual power...... Or rather, it's not that it's not digested much, it's that it's not digested at all.
That huge spiritual power has always been in a state of almost overflowing, and it is only a little bit away from supporting him to explode to death.
However, Mo Chen probably felt that it was a little bit worse anyway, since it had not been exploded, then there was no need to worry, what was there to wait until it exploded......
Well, in fact, it's not so speechless, it's just that he really can't spare time to transform that huge spiritual power, because the problems of spirit and soul are obviously more troublesome, and the priority should naturally be the highest.
The transformation of spiritual power does not need to be seen to know that it is a problem that can be solved with considerable time and perseverance.
After all, it was all the power of Himiko, and it was accepted by Mo Chen without the slightest discount. To put it more plainly, it is the power of the ancient gods.
"Snake swallowing elephant" is easy to say, but it was not killed on the spot, and you have to think about the digestive problems later!
- The snake eats an elephant, and its bones emerge at the age of three.
Mo Chen was not a snake, so he wondered how many three years it would take him to complete this digestion process, three years after three years, and three years after three years......
So it's better to take your time in this matter, and put it in the back, but it's the memory fragments and residual obsessions of Himiko that are the biggest problems.
Brain confusion is still light, after all, mental illness is not such a rare thing.
But what I am most afraid of is that Mo Chen's self-consciousness and cognition will gradually be replaced by the "residue" of Himiko, allowing the ancient sun queen to borrow the corpse to resurrect her soul in another form and be reborn in his body.
- That's pretty bad.
Therefore, he spent more than half a month systematically combing through the various memory fragments obtained from Himiko's soul, sorting out those useful things, and discarding those useless things directly.
This is a rather laborious and mental process, but from it he did obtain a fairly complete "supplement to occult knowledge"-
It includes various technical foundations, mystical theories and the like, and even methods to transform people into "ghosts".
But then again, that's actually a prerequisite for cultivating Storm Guardians.
Maybe it's really because learning makes people happy.,His life is quite fulfilling.,There's no impatience.,When the problem of Himiko's memory fragments is basically solved.,Only the influence of residual obsession remains.。
But it was also a long-term confrontation and perseverance, so he even began to seriously consider the question of his next goal.
It's really interesting to say, if nothing else, Miss Crawford's next target is the city of Kit, and the rumored "prophet" and the legend of immortality that mankind dreams of.
The prophet himself is real, and the legend of immortality is also true, because the former has lived a long time with the power of the latter-
There is no end to his life, and therefore he does not die. His youth is eternal, and therefore he does not age.
He even used that incredible power to create a huge army of undead to guard the legendary city of Kit.
However, here's the awkward problem -
The prophet himself did not have any great power, but only an immortality that could not die. But a pistol or an axe or something can knock him down, and his own abilities are no different from those of ordinary people.
And Himiko, like a true god, has incredible power, but there is no true immortality. In other words, she has only achieved immortality in the soul, but the body cannot get rid of the shackles.
But this is also a matter of course, there were no legends of prophets in the era of Himiko's life, and if she had known that there was an artifact like the "Divine Source", she would definitely not let it go.
Mo Chen's mind was enlivened by this, he felt that he couldn't guarantee that he would not become the second Himiko, and under the desire not to die, even if he desperately changed his body, he had to live.
After all, immortality is the carrier of all desires, and since ancient times, no human being has been able to escape the temptation of the word "immortality".
Mo Chen is naturally not exempt from vulgarity, although he has seen many movies and anime, there are statements such as "eternal life is a curse", and it is not a good thing to say that living a long time is actually not a good thing, but he also knows very well that it is good to listen to that kind of statement.
Of course, there is no problem when it is the central idea that is intended to be expressed in a fantasy work, but when that possibility becomes a reality-
No one has ever had the real experience of immortality, but one by one they are saying that "eternal life is actually a curse".
Doesn't that seem funny? It's like a beggar who fantasizes about how many affairs, how many problems he has to deal with, and how many big people he has to deal with every day after he becomes the richest man in the world...... So he suddenly felt that it was very troublesome, so he didn't want to be the richest man in the world.
Mo Chen was quite clear about what he was thinking, he was not hypocritical at all, he really wanted to gain the possibility of immortality.
In that case, why not do it in one step and make up for this shortcoming directly through the power of the "Divine Source", lest he really become the second Himiko in the future, and continue to live by changing his body.
……
……
While Mo Chen was planning the "Divine Source", Miss Crawford did not immediately start preparing a plan to find the legendary Kit City.
Although that was her father's last goal and the main reason for his disgrace, she had already ticked the box and didn't intend to let it go easily, however, ...... Now is not the time.
She has now returned to London, and she has been seriously considering Mo Chen's suggestion during this time-
She's torn over whether to bring the surviving crew of the Stoic into the gang and form a special mysterious organization.
Laura felt that she would definitely have to find the legendary city of Siberia next, and if those legends were true, then she was afraid that she would still encounter supernatural phenomena.
If she wants to vindicate her father's name, she can't escape this, but in that case, she feels that she must need the support of that guy to have the capital to do that.
Because previous experiences seem to prove that only the mystery itself can fight the mystery.
However, this was not enough, but Laura was struggling with whether to bring people in or not. Pulling people is not a problem, it will be very easy to think about it, but the act of pulling people itself makes her undecided.
After all, this is not the usual archaeology of the past, she may really have to fight against all kinds of terrible enemies that only exist in legends, and if something goes wrong, she will really, very regret it.
So since Mo Chen talked to her, more than a week has passed now, but Laura still hasn't been able to make a decision.
She sat by the window in a café, looking at the familiar scenery outside through the transparent glass window, and couldn't help but start thinking about it.
Maybe it was because she had been too impressed before, but now she suddenly felt that the scene around her felt unreal.
Then again, isn't that also an illusion?
"How could it be ......"
Miss Crawford muttered in a low voice, and then felt the phone in her pocket vibrate slightly, which gave her a sense of being back in the civilized world again.
She took out her phone, swiped the screensaver screen, and found a new message.
After seeing the sender, she couldn't help but look at her slightly.
