Chapter 1052: Wandering Souls, Remnant Souls, and Souls (I)
Just when Piracius was sacrificed for protecting the Holy Son, and when Tang Yun dragged the soft mud carrying Sibo's "soul" to struggle in the zombie attacks all over the city, another "person" was also struggling! The rain stopped, and the sky above the Demon City was incomparably blue, but there was not a single cloud due to the autumn wind that blew for some reason. The sun was shining brightly, but it didn't warm anyone.
The bells rang for more than half an hour, and the spirits left their dead and wounded companions to go on with their "lives" in a daze. In the midst of this rapidly restored order, another geist "escaped".
This is a very ordinary geist, due to its involvement in last night's battle. His right arm was wounded, hanging limply. But he didn't rush to the medical treatment, and in fact if the geist had been self-aware, the decision was quite right. He's just an ordinary geist with no special abilities. The treatment center would not have treated him with such an injury, and if he swaggered to the medical treatment, he might soon be decomposed and turned into something like organic fertilizer. Return to nature and re-serve the society of wandering spirits.
The wandering spirit's footsteps stumbled, and he kept looking around, as if he were seeing the world for the first time, and seemed to be full of curiosity about everything. The wound on his right arm was almost ignored by him, and he trembled with his left hand, trying to touch almost everything he could touch. For the first time, he felt the "real" nature of the world.
"Who am I?"
"Where am I from?"
"Where are you going?"
It is the most famous philosophical question, one that answers the most basic and standard question about the meaning of human existence. Instinctively dodge all the battle spirits in Castlevania that are responsible for the safety of the city, as well as various scanning radars hidden in street lights, buildings, intersections, etc. He finally found a safe corner and did it in one fell swoop. He touched his limp right arm.
"Painful ......"
"It hurts......"
"Is this what it feels like?"
The geist tore off the sleeve of his clothes, and very instinctively used it to bandage the wound on his right arm. And he made a fixed splint for himself with the decorative aluminum strips on the door of a certain building that he picked up casually. The technique is quite neat, and with only one left hand and teeth, he can properly treat the injury of his right arm like a professional doctor.
He looked up at the sky blankly, and it was a long time before he finally said a word to himself.
"I'm ...... A ...... in the SPERA ontology
"Original...... This is the soul, this is what it feels like to have life......"
This wandering soul is none other than a wisp of the "remnant soul" of one of the SPERA bodies in the battle with Tang Yun last night!
One of the SPERA ontologies intends to forcibly fuse Sbo, and then suffers many attacks and is fused by Sbo. The essence of SPERA is some kind of highly intelligent biochemical virus. The so-called SPERA body does not refer to the "soft mud" that fought with Tang Yun last night, but refers to the parasitic virus parasitic in this ever-changing soft mud body. They were almost indistinguishable from the Jewel who had once lived in Tang Yun's body. If anything, they don't have the same density of aggregation as Sbo, and they don't have the same personality and memories as Sbo's body.
During last night's battle, the ooze body of SPERA's body was taken over by Boom. After that, it endured many attacks, mixed with the debris of the original virus of the parasitic virus itself. One of them happened to land on the right arm of a certain geist, and what was even more coincidental was that the right arm of this geist was punched by Tang Yun. Not only were the tendons broken and fractured, but the armor condensed by the crystals of the [puppet] scratched a deep scar that could be seen in the bones. So the parasitic virus burrowed directly into the geist's body. Just as Sibo parasitized Tang Yun's body, he also had his own host.
Parasitism is a very common instinct of SPERA, and parasitism on the body of a geist is also very common in SPERA's "City of Hope", and it is not worth mentioning originally. According to the normal process, the SPERA clone with a new body will definitely control the geist body to return to the biochemical laboratory, and then separate from the geist's body and reunite with the rest of its kind to have a new biochemical ooze body. But this time......
I don't know for what reason, after being fused by Sbo once, it actually has its own "soul"! For the first time on Earth for thousands of years!
Everything that had happened last night resurfaced in front of him, and he remembered who he was. Feeling his presence for a moment, a dozen small faces soon appeared on his injured right arm. It came through the gap between the palm of the hand and the back of the splint. There is no difference from the so-called "Holy Seal" of Erestar.
There is no doubt that the geist parasitized by the SPERA clone is the most important survivor of last night's battle. He remembered Tang Yun's explanation, which was part of the answer brought back by the so-called "sample". He has fused with Sbo, and he has suffered from Sbo's fusion. Like a broken memory fragment, he inadvertently got a lot of memories that Sbo had, and learned one-sidedly about the life that Tang Yun had experienced. He learned more or less about the civilization of some extraterrestrial galaxies......
He must now return to the biochemical lab as soon as possible to join up with the rest of the SPERA ontology and share this important information with his ontology. This is the most normal and rational course of action. And that's very important for SPERA as well. In other words, he fused a part of Shooter, which was equivalent to bringing back a part of the "answer". Even if Smith has not yet been fully integrated, these answers should be inserted into the "weighted arithmetic" statistics as important data.
But he didn't!
What does it mean to merge with the ontology? Countless others of their own kind who have no sense of self swarm up and devour themselves? Drowning yourself in a sea of bioviruses? With the decomposition and reorganization of one's own ontology, with the sharing and erasure of various memories...... Will it still exist? Is this the equivalent of death?
All life is afraid of death, even if it is a new life that has just been born, this SPERA clone will be afraid of death. He finally understood why Smith struggled to reject his fusion last night.
