Chapter 577: Huangquan Township
"Mr. Ziggy...... Can people wear it back first? It's so hot......"
Brooke said shyly.
Jack on the side shuddered for a moment and then said, "Hot? It's obvious that we're so cold, are you a soul? How to get cold air? ”
That's right, the current Brooke is already in a state of soul.
It is said that Brooke's use of the Yellow Springs Fruit has always been in a very shallow state, and now he has no intention of developing its ability at all, but only regards it as a fruit ability that "can resurrect the capable person once".
The technique of "out-of-body" was only mastered by Brooke "two years later" in the original work.
And in the two years of cultivation, Brooke also used his soul power in attacks, and before that, Brooke's combat power came purely from sword skills.
On the one hand, Brooke was not aware of the true effect of the Yellow Springs fruit, and on the other hand, it was ...... It's because he's actually no longer a fruit powerhouse!
Ziggy had already noticed this at the first glance when he saw him.
Probably at the time of death, the fruit demon has been reborn, and as for Brooke's "special" now, and the ability that he was able to develop "out-of-body" in the original work, it is because his "soul" is no longer the same.
However, it didn't matter if Brooke didn't master the "out-of-body soul", Ziggy directly "helped" him to drag the soul out.
"You no longer have a body, you don't have the feeling of 'heat', and the reason why you have this illusion is because your 'soul' is too fragile to exert the effect of the Yellow Spring Fruit at all." Ziggy explained.
Similarly, Jack feels cold, not because the temperature really drops, but because of the breath of "Yellow Spring".
Otherwise, with Jack's body, even if he felt cold, the surrounding sea would have been frozen long ago!
Generally speaking, the "soul" does not chill, neither Hormitz nor Perona's "fluttering" has this kind of breath.
Ziggy speculated that this was because Brooke had been "dead" and therefore had a different breath on his soul, the so-called "Yellow Spring" breath.
Ziggy took a closer look at Brooke's soul state like a "ghost" and stretched out his hand...... "Pushed" him back into his body.
It's said to be a body, but it's just bones.
Apparently Brooke's state is not a resurrection - a skeletal shelf, with no life at all!
"Well, it's finally back...... It's safe to have a body. Brooke squirmed.
"No, no, no, this kind of body should not be too reassuring." Jack complained from the side.
Ziggy pondered for a moment about what he had just felt, Brooke's state, and then asked, "......How did you feel when you died?" And where do you feel like you've been, can you tell me again? ”
It is not so much that the power of the Yellow Spring Fruit is "resurrected once", but that it is ...... Those who have the ability can return from "Huangquan Township", or they can adapt to the atmosphere of Huangquan Township.
It is precisely because he has really entered Huangquan Township that Brooke's state is not only a simple soul, but also the relationship between him and his "body", which is no longer spirit and body, but more inclined to ...... Undead and "Horcruxes".
It's just that now Brooke himself doesn't think so, but thinks that he is still alive in the state of a skeleton, so he doesn't strengthen himself by cultivating special souls, and is still strengthening the "Horcrux".
When he first ate the fruit, Brooke didn't even know what the ability was, and it didn't activate its effect.
Until......
After dying once, the soul passively entered Huangquan Township, and he was really endowed with some special powers by the fruit's ability, but then he lost the Huangquan fruit because of death, and only had a special soul.
For the next fifty years, Brooke was once again "hiding" in the Horcrux and never came out again.
Otherwise, the shadow would not have been taken away five years ago, With the soul that has mastered the breath of the Yellow Spring, it itself restrains the fruits of other soul types!
Brooke heard Ziggy's words and responded, "Of course not...... Ask...... Question ......"
If he had eyes now, he would have been able to see that he had lost his mind, but unfortunately...... Not really.
Then I saw Brooke fall asleep.
That's right, it was Ziggy who used hypnosis.
Brooke's memories of death are blurry, just as a person wakes up and can't remember what he was in his sleep.
Ziggy didn't understand Brooke's previous description - according to Brooke, he came back from a "very cold" Yellow Springs Township and then got lost in the fog for a year before finding his body.
What is Huangquan Township?
If it's a fixed place, then Brooke shouldn't be in the fog when he "comes back", right?
If it is said that the entrance and exit are located in the place of one's own death, then ...... You shouldn't get lost, right?
Ziggy didn't expect Brooke to recall more, but it was just a hint that he would recall, and then hypnotized it, ready to go straight into the dream to see!
In Brooke's dream, Ziggy sees what he was experiencing from the perspective of a third party......
Also seen......
Another part of the world......
Huangquan Township, the world of the dead, is called so by the people of Blue Star.
It is not in a specific location, but in the same absolute space as reality, or with the blue star, just like the "spiritual world" in the mysterious original work.
It belongs to a world composed of a special kind of information, but it is only the constitutive information of "Huangquan Township", which is the will of the deceased......
The pirate world originally focused on the power of will, and death is only a state of the body, and its will still carries information and will not dissipate immediately, that is, the "soul" in the narrow sense.
However, it is obvious that Huangquan Township is not a place to "gather together after death", there are no living beings here, and it is not a place where "people" can continue to exist after death, otherwise Brooke would not be willing to "come back......
The stronger the will, the longer the self may be able to maintain in Huangquan Township after death, but relatively speaking, it will still be completely reduced to mere "information" in a short period of time.
Unlike other "souls" who have entered Huangquan Township, although with death, the fruit demon has left, but his soul already has the ability to control the breath of Huangquan!
It is also this kind of power that makes Brooke's soul not quickly assimilated into a dead soul in Huangquan Township, but absorbs the power of Huangquan Township, and gradually takes on a semi-physical controllable "soul".
At this time, Brooke was wandering in Huangquan Township, often startled by other undead who were "passing by", and timidly fled in all directions, and then ...... Following his thirst for the world of the living, Brooke instinctively found the exit not far away, and "crossed" back.
From the material world to Huangquan Township, only the soul or "information" naturally enters after death, and there is no need for an entrance, but after semi-materialization, an entrance and exit are needed to come out of it.
Huangquan Township and the material world themselves overlap, and this is the closest entrance and exit from Brook......
Through Brooke's eyes, Ziggy saw the bushes and saw the giant elephants......
It's just that Brooke panicked and was in a trance, didn't care about this, and just continued to plunge headlong into the fog!
Ziggy also realized at this time that the nearest entrance and exit was on the back of the giant elephant, and this special door, which Ziggy had seen not long ago—was the torii gates.
In the occult symbolism of Wano Country, torii is also considered to be the gateway to this world, to "that world......
Although the aborigines had been slaughtered at that time, the "torii" there still served as an entrance and exit.
It's just that Brooke can't remember these things clearly, but he remembers that Huangquan Township is a very cold place, and after he "came back", he got lost in the fog......
