Walk through the unstable portal, and after a very familiar feeling of dizziness, return to your living room. Zhang Luo, www.biquge.info who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, heard Lin Miao, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, screaming in horror:

"Ahhh

"What's wrong?" Zhang Luo only asked one sentence, and immediately realized that something was indeed wrong with his body.

When I lowered my head, I saw not my chest but my back, and my face was facing at this time, which was completely opposite to that of a normal person. Realizing this, Zhang Luo didn't need to look in the mirror at all, so he automatically made up the scene in a classic horror movie where the girl's body didn't move and her head was reversed one hundred and eighty degrees......

"Damn, there's something wrong with the unstable portal again."

Zhang Luo complained casually, stretched out his hands to hold his cheeks from "behind", and then twisted them simply and roughly.

Click!

If it were an ordinary person who came to do this, it is estimated that he would burp before he even had time to say his last words. But Zhang Luo, who has the blood of the devil and the "body made by the gods", has almost obtained a real immortal body at this time, even if he forcibly twists his head, it only hurts for a while, and then returns to a normal state.

"Alright, okay, don't hide." Zhang Luo helplessly signaled to the woman who shrunk into the corner that he was fine, and then asked, "How are you staying at home?" ”

The journey to find clues in Romania was much faster than he expected, and it took less than a day to finish. It can also be seen from the only canned bottle on the table that the "emergency supplies" stored in the refrigerator should not have come in handy.

After staring at him for a while, he finally made sure that it was himself and not a ghost or something, Lin Miao pressed his right hand on his chest and sighed, and nodded lightly: "Not bad......

In fact, although she is embarrassed to say it, Lin Miao knows very well what she usually looks like at home, in fact, she belongs to the kind of typical otaku girl, who basically stays at home after work, watching TV, playing on the computer, eating snacks and sleeping. Just being locked up in the house for a day was no big deal for her.

"That's good." Zhang Luo said and casually lifted the space blockade on the doors and windows of the living room, glanced back at the closed wooden door of the bathroom, and asked again: "Didn't you encounter anything strange?" ”

Even if it seems normal now, the house is a murder house at best, and what happened at the time was not an ordinary murder, but a bloody ritual that summoned both the Night Mother and the Lord of Paradise.

Even though it is isolated from the danger outside, there is also the possibility of problems inside the house.

"I don't know, I've been watching TV......" Lin Miao's voice was very dazed, obviously not noticing anything.

Hearing this, Zhang Luo didn't ask much, just opened the door of the bathroom and looked at the scene inside as usual.

I opened the observation mode of the Executioner's Eye and took a look, there were no ghosts or anything in the room, just when Zhang Luo was about to turn around and leave, Lin Miao, who was standing at the door, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the mirror, and said tremblingly: "Oh no......"

"Huh?"

Zhang Luo looked back, only to see that in the large mirror above the sink, sticky blood suddenly flowed out, and a white arm slowly stretched out from it, and his skin was covered with dripping blood.

“……”

Faced with a scene that might frighten ordinary people, Zhang Luo did not panic, but strode forward amid Lin Miao's exclamation, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the opponent's bloodless thin palm, and then pulled it hard.

Crash!

With a disgusting swallowing sound, the silver-haired girl in a black gothic dress stumbled out of the mirror and landed on the floor of the bathroom, and the red blood in the mirror disappeared immediately.

"If you want to come out, hurry up, what are you doing slowly?" Zhang Luo lowered his head and corroded the "Bloody Mary" in front of him.

"I just woke up......," Bloody Mary said, rubbing her eyes, and then speaking quickly, "I'm here to speak for Lord Frankenstein." ”

"What a cute girl, who is this?" Seeing the true appearance of the fierce spirit in the mirror, Lin Miao, who was still a little panicked, immediately rushed over, regardless of whether the other party wanted to or not, stretched out his right hand and tentatively stroked the cold silver long hair of the spirit.

“…… Can you see me? Wait, I seem to have seen you somewhere. Bloody Mary frowned and stared at the kind "big sister" in front of her.

"Introduction, this is Lin Miao, the nurse we met in the hospital." Zhang Luo made a brief introduction to the two of them very intimately: "This ghost who just came out is Bloody Mary, I think you should have heard of it, right?" ”

"I'm a spirit, not a ghost, and if I'm wrong again, I'll let you experience how ghosts live!" Bloody Mary complained, and then realized that the point was wrong, and hurriedly coughed to get to the point: "Lord Frankenstein can't use the Executioner's Eye for the time being, so I've asked me to send a message to all the members of the Strange Tales Research Society outside, please go back to the base immediately, she has an important invention to show you." ”

"Oh? What is it? ”

For some reason, when he heard the word "important invention", Zhang Luo suddenly had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

- All along, the mad scientist seems to be strategizing, always coming up with super products that can be called black technology in light of understatement. What would be an "important invention" for her?

Thinking of this, Zhang Luo immediately said: "I can go with you, Lin Miao, you should stay at home for a while." ”

"Okay." Lin Miao nodded obediently, without any dissatisfaction at all.

"You two ......" Looking at the communication mode of the two, Bloody Mary seemed to want to say something, and after thinking for a while, she still didn't speak, but just turned into an ethereal soul form, and floated back into the mirror again, disappearing almost instantly, leaving only a sentence of "Come here!" ”

Before leaving, Zhang Luo added a firm space lock to the doors and windows that had just lifted the "seal", and after confirming that Lin Miao was fine, he opened a portal and returned to the underground arsenal of the Strange Tales Research Society.

As soon as he entered the arsenal, Zhang Luo saw that there were many heretical creatures who had only seen once in his promotion ceremony in the base, where there were usually only a few familiar faces.

Unlike last time, after seeing his terrifying power in the northern Sahara Desert, those monsters who were originally skeptical of the "Fourth Leader" have completely lost their previous distrust this time, and have become extremely humble......

"I was wrong last time...... a certain living corpse who had been the leader of the "Resistance" before, stretched out his rotting dark yellow palm, wanting to shake hands with Zhang Luo, looking at the posture and planning to give a friendly hug.

"I'm not a necrophile." Zhang Luo succinctly rejected the other party, strode over to Frankenstein, who was still standing behind the workbench, and asked, "What did you call us to announce?" ”

- Except for the time when she learned that her subordinates had been killed and launched a large-scale revenge operation, she did not urgently gather all the members of the research group.

Hearing Zhang Luo's question, Frankenstein, who never lied on weekdays, rarely did not answer, but unexpectedly sold Guanzi, and there seemed to be a shallow smile on his pale little face:

"You'll know."

Zhang Luo turned his gaze to Lucas, who was standing aside, but saw that the other party was also confused, obviously not knowing the truth either. So he wisely gave up continuing to ask questions, forcibly suppressed the "fire of curiosity" burning in his chest, and stood aside with his arms folded.

- Whatever she's going to announce, it won't be long before the truth is revealed.

Soon, all the members of the research society, except for a certain energy body, came to the underground arsenal.

I saw that everyone had already arrived. Frankenstein stepped forward and pressed his hand against the workbench, and a strange-looking machine slowly rose up to look like a light-emitting light bulb on a metal ice cream cone.

"What the hell?" Zhang Luo took the lead in asking questions. He has been so busy lately that he doesn't even have time to think about the films he is making, let alone what Frankenstein is researching.

"After twenty years of hard work, it finally succeeded."

The long-haired girl, still wearing khaki overalls and covered in oil, stepped forward, and her voice was filled with excitement that is rarely seen in her voice: "I have finally mastered the method of digitizing everyone's 'consciousness'. ”

“……”

As soon as these words came out, the many heretical creatures who were still whispering in front of the workbench suddenly fell into a mysterious silence. After about ten seconds, Bloody Mary, who had always been obedient to Franken's words, slowly spat out a tone of surprise to express surprise:

"Huh?"

"Everyone is of different species, but there are commonalities in consciousness. After years of research, I finally succeeded in creating the first 'soul digitization' object, which is this. Frankenstein patted the "light bulb" on the table, and a bright smile appeared on his little face: "Come and say hello to everyone?" ”

"Hello."

A listless male voice came from the megaphone embedded next to the projector on the workbench, although there was no usual crackling sound of electricity, but the guy's tone was too obvious, and everyone immediately reacted:

"Is it Mr. Tesla?"

――The energy life created by Tesla's coil has not been able to obtain a body, and can only sleep in a bottle at most. But now......

"That's right, I have indeed abandoned my previous body, and under the transformation of little Fran, I have become a complete digital life." Energy Body continued, "I have never experienced the feeling of having a real 'body' for a long time, but now with the artificial muscles and bones made by Little Fran, I can finally achieve my long-cherished wish. ”

If Frankenstein's goal is to "explore the unknown" and Lucas is to "kneel and beg for death", then the purpose of this energy body has always been to obtain a real body!

Even though he was the first pure energy life in the world, with incomparably powerful power, he couldn't even find a physical body that could contain his violent energy, so he could only keep wandering in a state of disembodied form.

And now, if Frankenstein is right, he has undoubtedly completely abandoned his old body, transferred his soul into a "container", and gained the opportunity to experience a new life!

"Damn, are you kidding?" Darov, the great exorcist who was usually drunk, was so frightened that he came to his senses: "Is it really possible to turn a soul into a code input machine or something?" ”

Even Frankenstein, who transformed himself into a machine, had a serious accident when he completed that crazy "operation" and directly lost most of his feelings, and he has not been able to fully recover it to this day.

But the current energy body, except that it doesn't continue to carry its own electronic sound when speaking, it doesn't seem to be any different from its usual appearance! That is to say-

"Do you want to put your soul into my machine?"

As Frankenstein spoke, the workbench began to slowly open, and dozens of small cylindrical machines rose, and the round "light bulb" at the top lit up with a white light:

"I promise that there will be absolutely no attrition, and that there will be no change in your consciousness. Paired with the metal skeleton and artificial muscles I developed, you can use new bodies that allow for unlimited replacements and live forever together! ”

Hearing the high-spirited speech of the girl leader, and facing those strange machines that looked simple and did not look like they could hold souls at all, the members of the Strange Tales Research Society fell into thought again.

――Do you really want to abandon your current body, turn into a "code" and throw your soul into the virtual world completely? While it sounds like it can live forever, there are obviously other risks associated with it, such as-

"What if the power goes out?" The robed Egyptian lady Hasher raised her hand and asked.

"The electricity is supplied by my old body, you can rest assured." The answer to her question was the energy body that had been successfully "transformed": "With the energy left in my old body, even if it is supplied for another million years, it should be fine." ”

"What if this thing breaks?" This time it was Darov who asked the question.

"When the soul is digitally entered, hundreds of copies are backed up and stored in different servers. The possibility of all servers breaking at the same time is infinitely close to zero, so don't worry. Frankenstein was convincing.

Hearing this, the members of the Strange Talk Research Society woke up like a dream, and the monsters, who were still in a silent state, immediately began to discuss again:

"If we change bodies, won't our abilities disappear?" Someone asked.

"If you need to, you can keep your original body and only turn your brain or consciousness-producing organs into my machine." Frankenstein's answer sounded plausible.

“……”

The other monsters began to talk again. However, at this time, after Frankenstein spoke, Zhang Luo, who had not spoken, finally slowly opened his eyes and asked:

"That's what you want to say?"

"Hmm." The girl nodded quickly: "What does Zhang Luo think?" ”

Facing Frankenstein's expectant look, Zhang Luo let out a long yawn, turned around and walked to the portal behind:

"I'm not interested, I'm going home to sleep, thank you." (To be continued.) )
