Chapter 35 People are like dry bones, life and death

"Adventurer Rorschach (Black Iron Lower), successfully completed the main quest 'Searching for the Sword in the North', and was rewarded with a Bronze-level Upper Card with 3,000 survival points.

Adventurer Rorschach (Black Iron Rank Lower) will receive a Bronze Rank Rank Item Card 'Sun Well Spring Water (1.5 ml)' (from the online game World of Warcraft). ”

The contents of the hardcover and ornate book of reincarnation were silently displayed, and the shadow shrouded in the cloak poked out a dry finger that could see every inch of the joint, and slowly turned another page.

The content of this side is also a reward, but it is different.

"Adventurer Rorschach (Black Iron Lower), Leapfrog Challenge Silver Lower Boss Death Knight Arthas Success, Reward Survival Points of 5,000 Points, a Silver Card of the Plane, and a Battle Record Evaluation of +1.

Draw a Silver Median Ability Card 'Altar of All Classes' (from the online game World of Warcraft). ”

Staring at the page of text, the humanoid shadow suddenly sneered, and took off the cloak that wrapped him, his voice full of resentment and hoarseness.

"Hmph, the rewards for crossing the two levels of challenges are indeed rich, but in exchange for this look of not being a human or a ghost...... And how can it be worth it? ”

At this time, Rorschach did have a reason to be sad, seeing that he now took off his hood and cloak, it was difficult to connect with the immature and indifferent young man when he first entered the mission world, but he was not old or grown, but ...... The image of death as opposed to life.

His entire body, where the ** fibers were attached, collapsed deeply, and when he straightened up, he revealed the clear edges of the sternum, and if these could be regarded as emaciation caused by long-term hunger, then his greatly changed appearance could clearly veto this answer. The boy's cheeks were sunken inward, and only two thin white flaps of skin were left where his lips had been, and when he looked up, the dark curtain that had once had to be hidden to prevent the power of the laser eye from escaping was gone.

Because...... He no longer had to worry about the mutant's power hurting people, and the two hollow caverns with only blue glow left could not emit any light.

But to this extent, Rorschach is still not dead, this is the same as the dry bones of the tomb, there is still a weak heartbeat beating inside, the internal physiological system is still operating normally, at least he can still drink and eat all the time, and has a weak five senses, which proves that he has not become an undead creature until now.

At first, Rorschach thought he had been hit by some kind of plague or curse, but when Arthas summoned the priest to diagnose him, he was surprised to find that the cause of it all was the "Frozen Throne Fragment" that had helped him fight death. ”

Recalling that dreamlike experience, Rorschach lowered his head, gently lifted the torn shirt, and couldn't help but show an indescribable wry smile - half an inch above his navel, halfway between his heart and his heart, a piece of crystal clear crushed ice embedded in it like embedded in bone marrow, constantly refracting a faint pale blue halo.

According to common sense, at a constant temperature of 37 degrees in the human body, the ice cubes that only hovered at zero degrees should have melted into a liquid state and lost, but this "foreign body" as transparent as crystal has always been integrated with flesh and blood, and even made Rorschach have a soft "touch" like his own skin.

This pale blue ice crystal fragment was the "passion" gift that Rorschach received from a certain undead monarch during his first adventure, and in a sense, it saved his "second life".

At that time, in the confrontation with the new Death Knight Arthas Dark Side, Rorschach had to poke himself again and again in order to force himself to slide into the abyss of "infinitely close to death", in an attempt to gain a ray of life with this act of death.

Although this kind of desperate behavior still fails in the end, it can never be without sequelae. The reason why Rorschach survived was only because of the sworn enemy at that time. Arthas, or the Lich King, chose to save his life for the time being, implanting a fragment of spirit ice in his body from the Frozen Throne, saving him from the situation of instant death.

But how can the souls of natural disasters who are committed to spreading death and fear really have any compassion and ability to save people?

Moreover, for the Death Knight, it is only a matter of time before Rorschach dies in his own hands, so naturally he does not need to think about the "future" and "sequelae", and the most effective means to make him "immortal" at present is also used.

It's just that in the plane where the boundaries between life and death in Azeroth are blurred by magical powers, "immortality" and "living" have completely different and profound connotations.

Lingbing, although it has the title of "ice" in its name, is completely different from the ice-based heavenly treasures such as "Ten Thousand Years of Cold Ice" and "Cold Ice Jade Bed" in the Xianxia world, and is actually a kind of spiritual crystallization between the spiritual virtual world and the material world.

In the original story of "The Frozen Throne", the dark god "Kilgardan" used this to imprison the soul of Nao Zu, and it was thanks to the amazing strengthening of Spirit Ice's spiritual power that the Lich King's spiritual domain field was increased by 10,000 times, so that it could encompass the entire Northrend, almost like a god watching the life fluctuations of every mountain and river in this polar continent, and even infiltrate the hearts of legendary heroes who are as tough as steel at will, playing with their souls and beliefs.

In a sense, before Nao Zu did not take the prince's body as he wished, that large coffin-shaped spirit ice was the body of his body. In every fragment of spiritual ice, there was the most quintessential Scourge and a wisp of the Lich King's spiritual clone, and compared to the concentration of this pollution, the Scourge Plague that turned the Kingdom of Lordaeron upside down was at best a handful of flu bacteria carried by the cute guinea pig.

Rorschach's behavior is actually no different from carrying a mixture of elements such as uranium and radium with a high radiation surname, and the only difference is that the "plague of the dead" is more deadly than "nuclear radiation".

He took advantage of the fact that the owner of this fragment was sleeping, and borrowed some of its strength to fight against an invincible and powerful enemy, although it seemed that it saved his life at the time, but this kind of action naturally could not hide the **oss who was awakened because of the failure of the plan, and this kind of stealing power was used to deal with its own humiliating means, which immediately angered the Lich King's body far away in the polar glacier, and then this fragment that was integrated with Rorschach's life, driven by the true owner, released the undead pollution contained.

So when he was in the final stage of the mission world, even with the suppression of the Alsatian holy light, his body suddenly deteriorated, first the skin of the epidermis was a little bit rotten and corpse-smelling, and the body's functions were damaged to the extent that it was visible to the naked eye, and the biggest manifestation, in addition to the festering flesh, was that the necrotic pupils caused the power of the "laser eye" to disappear, and the body had instinctively begun to observe everything with the vision of the undead.

The most important thing is that Rorschach knew this, but he had no way to solve it or even delay it. As Arthas's false death knight personality said at that time, in fact, as early as when he went through self-trauma, his body was on the verge of death, and the reason why he was able to survive was actually to rely on the energy provided by this fragment to turn into a steady stream of life force support, so when this essentially seriously polluted life force polluted himself in turn, he couldn't pull out this fragment to stop the process.

If this continues for more than a month, the resistance of the psychic physique and mutant genes in Rorschach's body will completely collapse, and then his whole person will be transformed into an immortal undead, but on the seventh day, when he was terminally ill, he returned to the infinite space because of the completion of the task, thus temporarily escaping the catastrophe.

As a result of this change, the section of his book of reincarnation, which belongs to personal information, has also undergone corresponding changes.

Points: 11,230 survival points

Prop:

Silver Rank Lower Treasure Card 'Altar of Transfer': You can select a target and turn into a Priest, Warrior, Paladin, or Hunter by sacrificing Bronze Rank to Silver Rank Cards and Survival Points ranging from 1,000 to 3,000...... Death Knight and other 22 classes in World of Warcraft total, with a full skill tree.

Bronze Superior Item Card 'Sun Well Spring Water (1.5 ml)': In the World of Warcraft story, the source of magic guarded by the Blood Elves is a secondary replacement for the Fountain of Youth's 'Well of Eternity'.

Bronze-level lower-level ability card 'Constant Spirit Blessing Scroll': You can specify and select a target to increase their spiritual power to the upper level of black iron, and it is invalid for those with bronze or higher spiritual power, and the remaining times are 5/5. ”

Among them, the bronze lower card "Constant Spirit Blessing Scroll" is a reward that Rorschach received after completing the side quest to save the lumberyard family in the early days of his adventure in Northrend, but after he got this card, he found that probably due to the influence of his life experience that was very different from that of others since he was a child, his spiritual power happened to belong to the top of ordinary people, and he was already the spirit of the black iron superior, so he naturally didn't need this prop, so he had to collect it as a [***] rib.

The private space after leaving the mission world is a white and cold space, similar to a different dimensional killing array of more than 100 square meters, when it is first opened, it needs to be initially embodied in the heart of the adventurer to turn into various scenes, but with Rorschach's sad and resentful attitude at this time, he naturally does not have this kind of game entertainment mood, so he directly recalled the book of reincarnation and put forward his own requirements.

"Send me to a public space."

Infinite space is not like a certain infinite flow ancestor novel, there is an omnipotent main god light ball. After leaving the mission world, although the adventurer can carry out a basic physiological repair, it is only a limb recovery or xenophobic cleanup of biochemical viruses, which is useless for Rorschach's current strange parasitic state of half-life and half-death. However, Rorschach is only a newcomer to the cycle of adventurers after all, and the Lich King himself is just a gold-level boss with great flaws, this kind of problem is unsolvable for him, but it does not mean that those golden and even stronger predecessors in the space are helpless.

Asking for help in the public communication areas where adventurers gather is the only way he can think of it now.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

(ps:

After thinking about it and thinking about it, the things in the first draft, the related cumbersome plot in the real world, now seem too dragged, so let's abandon it completely, reset the plot, go directly to the infinite space, solve the problem and enter the next world. As for the reader's question of "God unfolding", I can only say that as a reasonable party, I hate the kind of "Oops, I'm angry, so my skills have increased a hundred times and I will kill you into scum!" and other things that completely collapse my three views, so the "Psychic King" comic itself has the setting of extreme emotions to obtain the increase of magic power, so it will be adopted by me.

If you see the protagonist's sudden unreasonable outburst,Then you will definitely pay the price in the later text.,What "the strength between life and death has taken a big step forward", "the injury is almost crippled, but in the blink of an eye, it's better and then the body is stronger"The nonsense routine,It's almost impossible for me to adopt,There must be a limit to the promotion of deathmatch。
