Chapter 74: Welcome to the Otherworld
Yudin Rodest "lived".
But his body is still "dead".
He was not breathing, there was no heartbeat, no blood flowing, there were five bullet holes running through his body, and his internal organs were shattered. Although the fixed body does not decay, it also loses its vitality and healing ability.
But he can move, think, and recall, and at first glance it seems to be no different from when he was alive.
Perhaps only people like Yan Luge can see the difference between it and the living at a glance.
The resurrected Yudin Rodest is no longer a human, it is a spirit.
It was born on the corpse of a human being, inherited all the memories of the corpse, and thought it was a human-
- Spirits.
……
Just as Balak lamented when he killed Yudin, life is really impermanent.
When Yudin, whose upper body was split in half, pierced Bale's heart with a knife at a strange angle, the last thought in the heart of this black-and-white boss who has been eating all his life is actually this sentence.
Life is so impermanent.
Balak vomited blood from his mouth, and his vision gradually blurred.
In the last moments of his life, he suddenly smiled back and looked up, as if through the dark roof of the roof, he saw someone behind the manipulation of all this.
"Losing to monsters...... I don't ...... wrong," Balak muttered to himself, leaning back slowly, and falling into the dust like a heavy rag bag.
Yudin, who had taken revenge, let go of his hand holding the knife and was a little stunned for a while.
But soon he came to his senses.
In his crooked gaze, a young man fell flutteringly in front of him.
"We meet again, Mr. Rodest. This is the second time we have met. Yan Luge said politely, "Can you close your body first?" I see your stomach and intestines. ”
He said it for granted.
In the face of an X-shaped corpse, there was no fear or awkwardness at all, only a feeling of "I see your stomach and intestines, this is not rude".
It's like seeing a roommate forget to pull his pants chain after coming out of the toilet, and a friendly reminder.
Yudin's brain was a little sluggish, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
I thought about it for a moment......
Yudin chose to give up thinking.
He pressed against the split upper body, tried to clasp his left and right hands together, and then pulled hard.
Although there is no alignment, there is still a huge gap between the left and right petals, and the organs inside can be vaguely seen, but it is finally put together, and the head is coming, and it is a "one" body instead of a "two-petal" body.
"When did you get here?" Yudin asked stupidly.
"It's been since the beginning." Yan Luge said without shame, "I watched the whole process of you falling into the trap and fighting back, which is a good job." ”
"You see me like...... Not surprising? Yudin originally wanted to say "not afraid", but looking at the other party's gaze, it was obvious that he was not afraid, and he was even very curious, so much so that he wanted to carry him up to the dissecting table to study...... Ahem, so when the words come to the mouth, it still becomes "not strange".
"It's not strange, I knew it when we met before." Yan Luge said with a smile, "Jiang Changhai is the best intelligence officer under my command, he told me that you don't breathe, you don't have a heartbeat, and you don't have blood flowing, just like a corpse.
"I was curious, so I came to meet you, and it turned out that you didn't seem to be any different from a normal person."
"By the way, I'm the chairman of Cornerstone Technology Group and the director of the Blackstone Research Institute.
"Do you know about the Blackstone Institute?"
Yudin shook his head.
He vaguely remembered that the words used in the memory card that Yan Luge had given him were, "This is a welcome gift from me on behalf of Cornerstone Technology Group and the Blackstone Research Institute."
Although he can use television and the Internet to not derail modern society, his focus is basically related to revenge.
He wouldn't go to see the "Into the Unscientific" series or something, so he really hadn't heard of the Blackstone Institute.
Yan Luge smiled and took the initiative to explain, "The Blackstone Research Institute is an organization that studies and manages transcendent phenomena like you and your amusement park. Rest assured, you and the other spirits have passed our assessment and will not be put on the bench and assembly line. ”
…… In this way, if you don't pass the assessment, you will be put on the test bench and assembly line.
He can understand the test bench, what is the situation of the assembly line?
Sounds like, what kind of raw material would be used to make it?
Yudin shuddered, almost shaking his heart out (literally), and he felt like he had walked around the ghost gate again.
"What is a spirit? Am I a spirit? Or is it ...... Are they spirits? Yudin asked, grasping an unfamiliar word.
"Before I answer that, I want to ask you a question." Yan Luge laughed, his smile was very sincere and playful, "Mr. Rodeste, may I ask, what do you think of yourself now?" What do you think you are? ”
What am I ......?
Yudin was a little confused for a moment.
What am I?
After his resurrection, Yudin asked himself this question countless times.
Although he was draped in a broken, cold corpse, he had memories of his life, and all his habits of life and thinking.
"I'm Yudin, I'm Yudin Rodester." Yudin said softly, and with this self-muttering answer, his gaze gradually became firm from the initial confusion, "I am human, yes, I am human. ”
Yan Luge bent the corners of his mouth invisibly.
Sure enough...... Spirits can't escape cognitive biases.
The spirit born from the sword will think of itself as a sword; The spirits born from the idols of the gods will regard themselves as gods; The spirits born from the carriage will think of themselves as a roller coaster destined to speed.
Spirits born from human corpses will think of themselves as human beings.
Spirits that have not awakened to the second time and become true spirits are so pure and stubborn.
Yudin raised his head and asked seriously, "So, am I still human?" ”
Yan Luge smiled, and the smile was very sincere: "It's up to you." That's what humans do. ”
He spread his arms, and his body floated little by little.
No, that's not floating.
Countless scarlet tentacles stretched out from behind him, some supporting his body, and the other dancing wildly, completely blowing away the already sturdy house, and pulling out gusts of wind pressure like a whip, pulling the objects not far away.
A blood-red, fanged mouth on his upper and lower eyelids grinned on his forehead, revealing an eerie expression that looked like a smile.
In Yudin's somewhat flustered gaze, the inhuman Yan Yuge slowly moved over, stretched out his hand to him, and sent him a friendly, sincere invitation: "Appearances are vain. So we care more about the nature of our hearts, beliefs, and wills than we do about appearances.
"Welcome to the Otherworld."
Yudin's expression changed in surprise, apology, and emotion, and finally turned into relief.
He was moved to shake Yan Luge's hand.
Yan Luge's smirked expression almost didn't stop.
As soon as Yudin's crossed hands loosened, the left and right sides of his body cracked again.
