Chapter 120: Book of the Dead

Wellβ€”it sounds reasonable, but if the soul keeps invading other people's corpses, it will cause a lot of trouble in the world.

Again, a body cannot accept more than one soul. In other words, there is no such thing as a plurality of souls occupying a body. ”

This is also quite reasonable, the so-called "a single room cannot accommodate more than two people".

"Finally, without being manipulated by the soul, ordinary people cannot reuse their deceased bodies. Only I, as the 'Tomb King', have the right to return the original soul to its original body. ”

This is indeed a very dangerous thing, and it is normal that it cannot be easily controlled.

"Remember those three things, boy. Every word I will say next, you have to think about the rationality between these three principles on the basis of these three principles. ”

"No problem, please speak."

"Stage 1 – When the body is unable to contain the soul, the soul with nowhere to return will leave the body and wander the world. At this time, the body and the soul have been completely separated, and the connection has been completely broken.

Stage 2 - After the soul loses its home, it will become a 'shellless soul', which is commonly known as a 'lonely soul and wild ghost' in the world. Normally, shellless souls cannot be seen or touched, just like air, both present and non-existent.

The third stage - the spirit body cannot survive in the human world for a long time, and will naturally slowly die out over time, and eventually return to the underworld. This is the final stage, the 'disappearance of the soul'. ”

"Your underworld is so clearly divided."

"Of course, as long as one of these stages is missed, it will lead to an imbalance between the underworld and the human world, and the consequences are unimaginable."

"So what does all this have to do with me?"

"It's a big deal!"

The Knicks' sudden accent shook the arena upside down again.

Wu was frightened by this sudden roar, and his bound body shook slightly.

Are all these gods so emotionally fluctuating?

Nix, who was a little excited, softened his tone and asked solemnly:

"Boy, didn't you die once a while ago."

The astonishing questioning shocked Wu.

"How do you know!?"

"That's a long storyβ€”"

"You give me a short explanation!"

"Alright! You're really impatient, boy. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"To put it simply, on the day of your death, your body did lose all function, and your name did appear in my 'Book of the Dead'......"

"Stop for a moment, what is the Book of the Dead?"

"The 'Book of the Dead' is a register of all the undead, which can prevent shellless souls who do not want to return to the underworld from lingering in the human world."

"Then what are you going to do if you find a shellless soul lingering in the world?"

"Usually I would send my men to kill them myself. If I encounter a resentful undead, I will go out myself. ”

"Are there any leaky fish from ancient times to the present?"

"Of course not, I'm the tomb king in charge of the entire Great Underworld, and the little lonely souls are hiding in the narrow world, and it's a lot of work to find out."

Look at this big breath...... It seems that his strange personality is the opposite of the strength he contains.

"And what's next? Is there anything special about my name? ”

"This is the next point - according to the rules of the underworld, counting from the time the soul officially leaves the body, if you do not return to the underworld within seven days, my 'Book of the Dead' will specially circle your name. Then I will send my men to destroy your shellless soul on earth. Butβ€”"

The deliberate sentence breaks and the long sound that pretends to be mysterious make Wu very concerned.

However, the slightly indecent Knicks seem to be very interested in selling off, and he lengthened the end note for a while, but he didn't say anything about the follow-up.

This made Wu finally complain impatiently:

"Don't give me a tail, explain it to me!"

"Hahaha! When the big man is cutting to the key point, he has to pretend to be a mysterious sentence, so that he is handsome! ”

Oh, my God! This god is truly the most obnoxious - and slangless god I've ever seen.

Nicks retracted his joking tone again, and finally went on to explain seriously:

"But about five minutes after your death, your name miraculously disappeared from my book of the dead."

"Disappear? Is this a special case? ”

"Yes. I've seen the ridiculousness of deliberately hiding the undead and leaving them out. I've also seen strange things about remembering the names of the deceased. But if you haven't seen the names that have been recorded, they will disappear inexplicably. ”

My name disappeared into the "Book of the Dead", which records the dead, which also means that I have changed from being a deceased to a normal living person.

In this way, this can also be interpreted as "I was possessed by gluttony, and then I was successfully resurrected".

However, according to Nix, his case seems to be the first of its kind in the underworld, which means that such a thing has never happened in the past.

That is, no one has ever been possessed by the undead in the past.

So the miracle of "resurrection from the dead" has never happened.

Wait, back from the dead?

I always feel as if I've figured out a weird mistake.

But what went wrong?

His brows furrowed in confusion, and he began to feel that something was wrong.

I always feel that something is unreasonable, but I don't know what went wrong.

Falling into a confused silence, Wu, whose head was short-circuited, couldn't explain a word for a while.

After a while, Knicks asked tentatively:

"Boy? Are you listening? ”

"Oh! Of course. Go on. ”

"Yes. In short, in order to find out about this matter, I sent a lot of my men to investigate in the world. However, I was surprised by the final result. ”

"What is the result?"

"Remember what I told you earlier, the 'Three Principles of the Underworld'?"

A concise and clear sentence instantly made the Wumao stopper open.

That's right! It turns out that the fault is here!

Without the consent of the Tomb King, a dead body cannot be resurrected.

However, he was successfully resurrected without the Knicks' knowledge.

This is the weirdest point in the whole thing.

However, even if the Tomb King agrees to his resurrection, it still doesn't make sense.

Not only did he get a gluttonous appearance, but he even inherited his personality and ability perfectly. Obviously, I am not "the same soul" re-entering the "same body".

That being the case, this would explain the fact that I was possessed by gluttony.

But this is not accepted in the underworld.

For "a soul can only dwell in the same body for the rest of his life." When the soul is separated from its original body, it cannot enter into other new bodies. ”

In other words, it is completely impossible for this whole thing to happen, and it is impossible to give a correct explanation.

The overwhelming questions kept impacting Wu's brain, and the suspicious expression became more and more hideous.

"Looks like you're realizing that the whole thing is wrong."

Nix said with satisfaction.

"Do you have any clues? Nix. ”

"Of course not. Even more bizarrely, although your soul has not been able to fit into your new body, there has been no major danger to your life. ”

At this point, Wu's eyes widened, and he couldn't believe his ears.

What Nicks just said is that "my soul" enters a new body, that is......

It's not the gluttonous soul that is attached to my body, it's my soul that enters the gluttonous body!?

Wu was confused now, and his brain was even more dead, and his brain was about to be burned out.

"Nix, you just said that 'my' soul entered a new body, which means that I am not possessed by another soul, but my soul is infused into a new body."

"That's right! That's what I've always been confused about. ”

"How could it be ......"

"Don't believe me? Do you want to see what you look like now? ”

As soon as the words fell, a dark mist suddenly gathered in front of Wu's body, and slowly built a mirror.

The frame made of white bone is as clear and transparent as the surface of a lake, reflecting the whole picture of yourself.

"This is!"

The figure in the mirror image is exactly what Wu looked like before his death.

Neat short white hair, white skin, slender figure, blue eyes .......

There is no doubt that the mirror image in front of you is the real self, that is, "Ironke. turnip".

"This 'Huangquan Mirror' cannot reflect the body of the world, but it can perfectly present the appearance of the soul. And the portrait in the mirror is your soul, not the body you occupy now. ”

A huge amount of information was poured into Wu's brain, and the shackle-like doubts locked the box of truth.

Wu stared at himself in front of him in horror, and fell into confusion and wandering again.

Who the hell is it? Imprisoned one's soul in a gluttonous body without permission.

No, why do the resurrected people have gluttonous bodies?

It's annoying! Why did you encounter such a thing!

Tears that had not been seen for a long time slipped down my cheeks, and the feeling of powerlessness in my heart was multiplying.

But it's been so far, and it's useless to be sad.

I die again, I experience failure again, and I realize my incompetence again.

I am both "Wu" and "Wu".

The thousands of unwillingness in my heart are like firewood, no matter how solid and upright they are, they are still no match for the lonely fire like a grain of rice.

The burning from the outside to the inside finally turned into the final smoke of silence, permeating the abyssal despair.

From resentment to remorse, from grief to hesitation, from incomprehension to reliefβ€”Wu's eyes seem to have gone through the wear and tear of time, complex and long.

At this time, the conversation changed, and the Knicks put away the Huangquan Mirror and said with satisfaction:

"But it's worth digging you up this time, as the first special case in the underworld, I didn't expect it to be such an ordinary human."

"yes, congratulations......"

At this time, Wu suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked:

"Wait, you just said you poached me?"

"yes, I dug you up."

"So I didn't come here because I died?"

"yes."

"So I can still go back to the world?"

"Of course, just tell me and I'll send you back."

The fact that the thunderbolt of the sunny day smashed into the stunned Wu impartially.

"But didn't you just say, 'I'm dead?'"

"Yes! Because you died a long time ago, I said, 'You are indeed dead,' in order to state this fact. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Oh my God-

Give back the touching emotion in my heart just now!

I really broke my brain to believe this stupid tomb king in front of me!

The emotions that are difficult to calm down have been inadvertently teased by the Knicks several times, and Wu really wants to cry without tears now.

But how did I get caught by the Tomb King?

If my name is not in the Book of the Dead, the Tomb King will not have the right to take my soul back to the underworld without permission.

With such suspicions, Wu swallowed his anger and asked calmly:

"But how could I get caught in your paradise by you? Haven't I been removed from the Book of the Dead? ”

"Well, have you ever touched an old 'coffin' recently?"

"Coffin ......"

Isn't that the coffin behind Fallomar !?

"Thousands of years ago, I defeated my predecessor, Hades, and thus took control of the entire underworld, and called myself the 'Tomb King'. At that time, I absorbed a lot of elements from the underworld, and mastered a lot of the magic of the underworld......"

Well-Nix said everything exactly as it was stated in the books.

"However, because I have gained this unbalanced power, I have alarmed the entire divine realm. They are afraid of my power that can overturn the divine realm, and they are very jealous of me. In order to suppress me, they joined forces to degenerate me into an evil god and seal me in this coffin. ”

Nicks calmly recounts this extraordinary past, perhaps his anger has long been diluted by the torrent of time, or he has been locked up in this little coffin and has become no longer rioty.

However, it is hard to imagine that the stupid big man in front of him is actually the tomb king who once overturned the entire underworld and even usurped the throne at all costs.

"Then did you know that the coffin that sealed you was abused by humans?"

"I don't know about this, after all, this coffin restricts my strength, causing a large loss of many elements, and I naturally can't detect and control these scattered forces."

In other words, Fallomar has been using the small part of the lost power.

From this point of view, the tomb king in front of him is indeed very amazing.

"But you are sealed into a coffin, how are you going to be in charge of the affairs of the underworld?"

"It's simple, God's consciousness is free, and the consciousness sealed in this coffin is only a part of me. The other part of me remains in the underworld. ”

"In other words, you standing in front of me now are not your complete body?"

"That's right."

It's really abstract...... One loss of strength, the next distraction.

In other words, I am also curious about what kind of god can have such power and ability, and can control everything in the god realm?

Gluttony and the Night Pavilion were also degenerated into evil gods by those "gods". Could it be that their power is better than that of gluttony and the Night Pavilion?

All of these issues are too complex and unnecessary.

Since he hasn't died yet, there's no need for him to be so desperate.

Although this "trip to paradise" was very unpleasant, it cannot be said that it was completely fruitless.

About my own death, everything about the underworld, about Knicks' past, these will be important clues for my future.

But his greed will never stop there.

The god who rules the entire underworld must be very powerful.

What if you could devour the power of the Knicks?

Although He is only a part of the whole body, he is still very valuable.

In this case, why not harvest this ghostly power.

But if you take the power of the Knicks away by force, the risk is too great.

If you can, make a fair deal with the Knicks!

After thinking about it for a long time, Wu showed a smug smile.

"Huh! Nix. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Do you want to study the secrets of my soul and this body?"

"Research? Of course I do! After all, I have never seen such a miracle since I first became the Tomb King. ”

"yes......"

Very good, caught a fat fish.

"In that case, do you want to seal your consciousness and power in my body?"

The Knicks were stunned for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

"Literally. My body can serve as a vessel for your research. In exchange, you give me the power to use yours. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Knicks fell into a silent dazed state again.

After a while, the deafening laughter suddenly erupted, shaking the arena up and down.

"Hahahaha!"

"Laughing at what?"

"Boy, although I am only a part of the whole body sealed in this coffin, I am still not something that ordinary mortals can control. Again, if you want to gain my power, you must first destroy this coffin made of divine power. ”

"So how do you destroy this coffin?"

"What?"

Nickston stopped laughing and was stunned again.

"I asked you how you were going to break this coffin?"

"Uh...... First you have to break the seals on you. ”

Wu looked at the heavy iron chains that bound him, and confirmed curiously:

"Is it okay to just destroy these?"

"At least that's the first step, but I'd better advise you to give up."

"Why"

"The flames beneath your feet are the 'hellfire' from the underworld, and at the slightest touch, anything will turn to ashes. The cold wind that drifts around here is the 'bone-eroding wind' from the underworld, and a light blow will deplete the elemental elements in the whole body. All in all, even if you untie the chains on your body, you still can't get out of danger. ”

"That means that even if I have enough elements to break through the chains on my body, I will be consumed by the fire of hell if I fall."

"Uh-huh, so you better don't think about it, let me send you out."

"No, I have a solution."

"What!?"

If you use the power of gluttony, you may be able to escape the seal.

Wu closed his eyes, holding his breath to feel the elements in his body, accumulating the elements, and planning to break through them in one go.

But the Knicks are still not optimistic about Wu's bravery.

"It's a good thing to have ambitions, but you better not be reckless, let me send you out......"

A well-intentioned dissuasion was silently rejected.
