"Broadly speaking, it's indeed dead now." To the missionary's question, Hakuma replied, "But if I want to take a rigorous term, I prefer to call it 'stop.'" ”

The missionary humbly asked, "What is the point of stopping?" ”

"It's literal, it's just not moving now. Even if the humans and gods of that planet tried their best to flesh it, they couldn't actually kill it. As long as you think carefully about what I said earlier, you will understand that it is originally dead, and even if you give it life and then kill it, it is nothing more than to return it to its original state. Hakuma said, "Otherworldly ghosts...... Especially the otherworldly ghosts of its level, which can't be killed no matter what. Even if you use the power of the True Spirit, it won't help. The immortal of Stage 3 comes from my research on it, and even the power of the True Spirit cannot destroy the immortal of Stage 3, let alone destroy it? ”

"Even if it were to be destroyed physically and spiritually, it would still be able to survive in a form of reverberation that current theories cannot describe." He continued, "That's why even if I have only a broken hand left, I'm going to snatch it from Leq. Because it's still in the severed hand. ”

"The humans and gods of that planet could have foreseen this, so why did they have to pay the terrible price to seal it in this body?" The missionary thought for a moment and then asked, "Does it have anything to do with its current state of cessation?" ”

"Yes. Although it does not die, through this body, it can give it the illusion that it thinks it will die. It's not that you can give any kind of flesh, but those people have put a lot of effort into this body that you and I can't imagine. "And since it's dead, you shouldn't continue to move." Don't look at it like this, it's playing the role of a dead thing very carefully. ”

Because of his previous words, even if he now says "play with his heart", the missionary feels that it is nothing more than some kind of anthropomorphic rhetoric.

The reality should be closer to a computer crash. The ghost that wasn't supposed to die actually "died" - a paradoxical circumstance that caused "it" to temporarily fall into a kind of dead loop. But the missionaries were only speculative.

Suddenly, the missionary thought of a question, "I heard that the Liucheng Security Bureau burned most of its body to ashes...... Is it the same how the consciousness of the undead will continue to be imprisoned in the ashes even if they are burned to ashes? Do the ashes have the same properties as this severed hand? ”

"I've been secretly checking in the past, and there's no one in the ashes. Those immortals are cursed to be immortal, and it is the curse itself, how can it be as unfree as the victims. Even this body can't really bind it, it's just that it stays in it because it thinks it's where it should be. Bai Ju said.

Hearing this, the missionary looked solemnly at the severed hand, "If we turn this last part of the flesh into ashes as well......"

"The ghosts of the other world will be completely liberated on our planet." Bai Ju said without hesitation.

The missionary had a creepy expression, and after thinking for a moment, he actually said, "So...... Is there a way to bring it back to life? ”

"Oh?" Hakuma was interested, "Why would you want to resurrect such a monster?" ”

"It's not that you have to be resurrected, it's just that you can restore the corpse completely." The missionary said, "If we do not think of this body as 'its flesh,' but as 'the prisoner that seals it,' then we must not allow it to remain in a broken and mutilated form." Or is it that this severed hand alone does not meet the minimum conditions for repair? ”

"Not really. Although it only has such a severed hand now, it already has the ability to transform itself. It can be simulated as a giant sea creature like a whale, or as a human woman. Then, under the premise of the right conditions, it is not impossible to recover from a severed hand to the whole body. "However, if we want to repair an ordinary body, this body is the technological crystallization of the humans and gods of that universe, and we can't find a way to repair it with the theory of our world." ”

The missionary accepted the statement, "Then there is no way." ”

However, I captured a certain contradiction at this moment.

What Hakuju is saying now doesn't match what he said before.

What's wrong? I felt like I couldn't get to the point. Did he lie somewhere? For example, he said that with the theory of our world, there is no way to find a way to fix it, but this sentence is actually not true? No, every word of his life is true.

However, he must have been withholding some crucial information.

Could it be that when he was observing other universes, he also accidentally observed the "repair method" from other universes...... No, it's not that, I don't think that's the case. That kind of thing is too coincidental, and it is also doubtful that technology from other universes with completely different underlying orders can be used in this universe.

I'm afraid that I am unconsciously pursuing the resurrection of "it", which is why I can't help but think in that direction.

And the truth is elsewhere.

"It's the best of all in this state of suffocation." Hakuma continued, "If you revive it, I don't know what other strange phenomena it will spread. ”

"Can it still exert its power even if it is trapped in this body?" The missionary asked cautiously.

"Have you seen the dangerous pollution that occurs when a large number of undead people gather together?" Bai Ju said.

The missionary recalled countless horrific images of the grotesque phenomena he had seen. Time and space, logic, destiny...... Countless basic rules that he thought were unshakable fell apart in there, and once he was involved, it was the end of not being able to survive and not to die. He felt that if the mythical hell was real, then he would rather go to hell than accept that ending.

"If you don't feed it human flesh on time, it will become more and more restless. When it reaches a certain limit, many extremely terrifying supernatural phenomena will be generated around it, and it will spread endlessly to farther places. Bai Ju said.

The missionary was dumbfounded, "Ghosts still have to eat on time......

"A ghost like it is indifferent to eating and consuming, and it can also regard the law of conservation as nothing, and output power eternally like a perpetual motion machine, but it becomes a limited being in some ways because of the flesh. Or maybe it's still unlimited, it's just mimicking the creatures that do. "Maybe eating is part of its imitation behavior, and if it loses the opportunity to imitate creatures, it will slowly realize that it is actually a ghost." ”

The missionary then asked, "Isn't it enough to satisfy its feeding needs?" ”

"Even then, it spreads pollution around it from time to time, just less frequently. It was because of the failure of control that there was a contamination leak in my laboratory outside Shangshen City. According to my speculation, I'm afraid that eating it will also make it realize that it is a ghost to some extent. "It is a ghost that brings ruin to all things, and has an extremely strong tendency to spread death; And after receiving meat, that tendency is expressed in the form of eating. And unlike ordinary eating, it only eats the flesh of those who have died because of itself. ”

He thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to avoid the appearance and spread of pollution while it is 'alive', you will probably have to find ways to meet more of its physiological needs." And it must be at least the same level of physiological needs as eating, so that it can temporarily forget that it is actually a ghost, and at the same time be deeply aware of the physical body it has, and devote itself to imitating the behavior of living beings......"

The missionary thought for a moment, and then remembered something, "Well, the reason why it was able to escape from your laboratory five years ago......"

"It's just my suspicion, though it's unlikely, maybe it caused the fanatics to attack my lab through some form of influence that neither I nor the fanatics could understand." "Occasionally, there are incidents that affect the behavior of the people involved. ”

I listened to Hakukoma's words through the eyes of a missionary, and I was reminded of the pollution incident I had experienced at the Puqing City Security Bureau. In that incident, Zhu Dark and the person in charge were all at the mercy of the pollution incident like marionettes, and in the end, even my own mind and thinking were gradually affected by strange things.

"Well, you're really like what Lieva said seven years ago, ......" The missionary stopped talking.

"Are you trying to say that I was brainwashed by that monster?" Bai Ju smiled disdainfully, "It's better to say that kind of stupid thing in front of me, how could I be brainwashed?" It is true that I have been exposed to several pollution incidents before, so I can't guarantee that my consciousness has not been polluted, but each time I will remove all the pollution after the incident, and compare my psychological testing records before and after the pollution. I can be 100% sure that my decision is definitely coming from my heart. ”

"Besides, if you think about it, even if you are the same human, there is still a probability of failure when it comes to instilling and instigating another human to do something you don't want to do. Even if you are a succubus who is good at seducing men, if you are too unlucky, you may run into a wall if you encounter a unique abnormal fetish. "And how can an otherworldly ghost like it, who can't understand people's hearts, know how to deceive people's hearts?" You may not be able to tell the difference between such a simple truth, but will I still not be able to tell the difference? ”

The missionary looked at the white horse silently, and he thought to himself, even if the visitor can't implant in your heart an idea that he can't understand, what if it stirs up your original thoughts, reinforcing them a thousand times over? What if you take what was originally just a fleeting joke-like thought into a demonic obsession that you can't get rid of for eternity? That possibility is not even 1 in 10,000.

I also heard his mental activity at the moment, but did not agree with his views.

While Hakuko's attitude seems a bit like a rhetoric from an onlooker's point of view, I can relate to his earlier statement - I don't think "it" has the ability to understand and demagogue.

The missionary's idea may sound reasonable, but if I can't understand the "it" of the human heart, how can I identify the evil thoughts that are beneficial to me from the countless thoughts in the white horse or my inner world, and fan them to a thousand times the original one? Even if you want to incite someone, you must have an understanding of their psychology.

So the missionary must be wrong.

This is the end of this memory.

I then went through the missionary's memories of other conversations with Hakukoma, but most of them were information that had nothing to do with "it", and even if they were, there wasn't much new.

I could see Hakukoma's attitude towards "it", and although he had said that "you shouldn't think deeply about that inexplicable thing", it wasn't that she didn't have no idea about it.

In other words, he does not pursue its essence, but its method of application. As Leqqo commented, he was indeed a materialist who was different from the fanatical line. As a scientist, his primary concern is not what the nature of the world is, but how he wants to change the world. For him, science is not a belief that he needs to dedicate his life to, but more like a tool that can be used at hand.

I also found a lot of other useful information. In fact, the problem of poor flow of information was also prevalent in the organization on the eve of the previous year, and the missionary, although in a high position, did not know much about matters outside his area of responsibility, and he himself was not interested. However, he often goes in and out of the Dawning Dream Realm, and has his own laboratory in the Dawning Dream Realm, where all his research materials are backed up, so he also has a certain degree of confidence in the layout and staffing there, and also knows a lot of internal confidential information.

He even knew where the severed hand was stored in the Dawn Dream.

At the same time, through his perspective, I also saw the face of the leader "Dawn" on the eve before. It was a man with an aggressive look in his eyes and an ambitious face. In his opinion, Dawn is a vulgar careerist who is full of kings and hegemons, and secretly despises Dawn in his heart.

However, his teacher, a fanatic, had a good conversation with Dawn, and Hakukoma had a close personal relationship with Dawn before he joined the Eve.

As I continued to look through these memories, the sirens got quite important information from them.

"Now I can help you with the Dream Immortal." "But there is a strict condition that needs to be met first." ”
