Chapter 53: Russell the Artificial Man

Wind Chimes leaned down slightly, reaching out his right hand to caress the skull on the ground.

However, the female ghost's hand passed directly through the hard skull, interpreting the fact that the wind chimes were dead in the best way possible.

Russell sorted out the huge amount of information tonight, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly:

"When I first entered school for two or three months, that adventure in an abandoned tower now seems to be very problematic.

"I didn't ask the bear and arctic wolf about their purpose at the time, but now it seems that they were instructed by the Thornbird to kill the wind chimes that had turned from a wandering ghost into a real undead creature.

"Although this witch who is proficient in psychic magic and alchemy is not good at divination, it is certainly not at all capable of it. She may not have known about the existence of the wind chimes at the time, but she may have vaguely foreseen that the presence of the ghost of the abandoned tower would have a faint negative effect on her reputation.

"Well, the Thorn Bird certainly didn't take this as a big deal, and in fact the wind chimes really couldn't remember anything and didn't threaten her. Otherwise, she would definitely get rid of the wind chimes in a more extreme way......"

The more Russell thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and then he asked:

"Wind Chimes, how much do you remember about what happened to you now?"

Wind Chimes shook his head:

"There are only a few chaotic fragments, and some broken and intertwined sounds, plus pain and despair that seem to be implanted in the depths of the soul. But I still can't think of anything else, I don't even know what my name was when I was alive.

"I don't know who my parents are, who my friends are at the academy, I just know that I miss them."

Tears flowed down the cheeks of the wind chimes, dripping down the floor, through the floor covered with dust and bones, and disappeared without a trace:

"So, why can't I remember anything?"

Duncan looked at the sentimental wind chimes, and also sighed softly, explaining:

"While ghosts mostly lose some of their living memories, they rarely do so severely. Miss Wind Chime, you can't recall the events of your life because of the effect of the magic that made you forget.

"In the occult sense, a living person and an undead creature into which he transforms cannot be regarded as exactly the same creature. As a result, you have forgotten who you were when you were alive.

"It's just that some fragments of memory, some of the emotions of pain and despair, are too memorable, so they are etched in the depths of your soul, so that you can recall a little bit from time to time."

The wind chimes bow slightly.

"I finally understand now why I have the extraordinary ability to make friends, and why I like to mix in with others and make one more person in the team out of thin air......," Wind Chime suddenly laughed, "because I am the one who has been forgotten and missed." ”

Russell also felt quite sentimental at the mention of this.

During the adventure of the abandoned tower, the wind chimes suddenly appeared in the party. So a female ghost who appeared out of thin air in the team is indeed terrifying.

But now that I think about it, just as the Drowning Ghost will have supernatural powers related to drowning, the supernatural ability to make one more person in the team out of thin air is actually a mystical manifestation of what happened to Wind Chime before he died.

Russell couldn't help but think of such a scene in his mind -

For Wind Chime's family or former best friends, they may find in a dream that there is a gray-haired girl who they seem to know before but don't seem to know.

When they woke up from their dreams, the appearance of the wind chimes had long been forgotten, and they couldn't remember it with all their might, as if they had been lost in the depths of their memories. Even the dream itself was forgotten.

Briefly become friends, become family, become a member of the side, and then forget this memory after separation. The time we used to be together is like an imaginary dream bubble that is not real, and even the memories will become blurry and confused.

Isn't this exactly the same as the "making friends" ability of wind chimes?

Russell speculated further.

It is very unlikely that the wind chimes or other close friends of missing students have been invaded by such dreams again and again, and they have met people they have never seen in their dreams, suspected that there are students around them who are missing, and posted their hesitations and fears on the official website of the college.

This is where the college's strange talk about "missing students" comes from.

Russell couldn't help but reflect on the fact that at that time, he didn't connect the core transcendent ability of the wind chimes with the strange story of the academy "missing students".

The wind chime stopped crying, calmed down completely, and looked at his skull with a smile:

"I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing that I've forgotten my old self.

"I don't have to deal with my parents and family again, I don't have to deal with my friends who are more than a decade older than me. They don't feel sad about my departure either, and at most they meet me in dreams.

"That's right, as a ghost wind chime, I'm already a new life, and I have nothing to do with the college girl who died in this room."

Hearing an undead say that he was a new life, Russell wanted to laugh a little, but couldn't.

He thought of some messy things, such as whether the ghost had the right to inherit it during his lifetime, but he didn't want to say anything about it now.

Russell was silent for a long time before continuing to ask:

"Alright, Mr. Demon King, you can tell you about the rest of the story. What happened when you found out about the crimes that the thorn bird committed here? And why did you meet me, sleeping in my heart? ”

The Demon King looked at Russell:

"Young man, do you know your background?"

My background!

Hearing this word, Russell's heart fluttered suddenly, turning the body of the demon king who lived in Russell's heart upside down.

Duncan also looked in the direction of the Demon King and Russell with curiosity, he was divining Russell's life experience at the beginning, and found that Russell did not have any blood relatives at all, not like he was born by his parents.

At that time, the two guessed that the divination pointed to the demon king in Russell's heart, but from the current point of view, it may not be the case.

"You were made here," the Demon King said word by word as his gaze swept across the ash and skeleton room, "in this House of the Forsaken, made by the Thorn Bird himself!" ”

This message exploded in Russell's mind like a bolt from the blue.

The young man's eyes, which had been as indifferent as a windless lake, and his flat expression, finally could not be maintained.

Duncan and Wind Chime's eyes widened at the same time.

"How was I made?" Russell asked, "Do you want to use the flesh and blood of the dead here?" ”

The Demon King shook his head: "I don't know how she did it, I guess only the Thorn Bird herself knows." ”

"Tell me about the scene." Russell Road.

The Demon King nodded lightly, and then said:

"When I broke into this house of the forsaken, I saw the corpses of the dead on the ground, and I smelled the strong smell of blood in my face, and I was furious.

"Affected by the increased desire after demonization, I couldn't contain my impulses, and I wanted to cut this witch with a thousand knives and pieces on the spot, and then inform the school later.

"But the thorn bird tried to dissuade me. At that time, she was standing in this sea of corpses and blood, holding a baby in her arms. ”

Infant?

Hearing this word, whether it was Russell, Duncan, or Wind Chimes, they all pricked up their ears, and they had already vaguely guessed the identity of the baby.

"The woman, dressed in a blood-stained black gauze dress, gently stroked the baby in her arms, smiled at me, and said that the goal we had been working together and the ultimate dream of mankind was within reach.

"The Thorn Bird told me that she had created the baby in a way and with mystical magic that I could never have imaginedβ€”a combination of necromancy and life and mind and illusion.

"When the child grows up, he will become the best potion master. Dreams that could not be realized when we worked together were realized by this child.

"He will definitely be able to replace us and refine the elixir that gives eternal life, as well as the elixir that allows ordinary people to awaken spiritually and become transcendent forever."

The tone of the Demon King's narration was quite vicissitudes, and every word fell in the hearts of the three listeners, but it set off a lot of waves.

"I didn't pay any attention to the Thorn Bird's words, and fought with it, just trying not to hurt the innocent baby.

"We started a battle on the occult level in this tower, and the battle lasted only a few seconds, and the flames of the abyss burned the tower to its current appearance in an instant."

Duncan nodded thoughtfully:

"It turns out that this is the cause of the mysterious fire, and at first, the teachers thought it was an ordinary magic test accident."

Russell connected the information provided by the Demon King, and a touch of the scene appeared in his mind, and he also had his own speculation:

With the Thorn Bird's attainments in the occult and occult realms, killing each student will definitely dispose of the corresponding soul.

The reason why the wind chimes can have lingering ghosts should be because at that time, the wind chimes had just died, and the demon king accidentally broke in, so that the thorn bird could not free his hands to do the final treatment.

Considering the coincidence of time, and the fact that the baby in the arms of the Thorn Bird is myself, is this also some kind of manifestation of my abnormal constitution?

Because the door of the secret room was opened, connecting the space to the outside world, the ghost of the wind chime naturally drifted outside the secret room, and hovered near the tower ever since, becoming one of the countless lonely ghosts.

It wasn't until more than a decade later that the demon cultists of the Chaos Red Order infiltrated the academy.

The Demon Cultists wanted to use the power of the leylines to summon a large number of demons to descend on the Academy, so they conducted a lot of research near the gymnasium to retrieve the specific locations of the leyline nodes.

During this period, Nocturne and other demon cultists climbed the abandoned tower near the gymnasium and found that the ghost of the wind chime was special enough, not only was it a transcendent person in life, but it also involved a fairly high-level supernatural element when it died, which was used to make high-quality raw materials for undead creatures.

They then used the ritual of evoking the dead to transform the wind chimes into spirit-like beings with emotions and thoughts, so that the wind chimes could serve their purposes.

And the giant bear and arctic wolf of the White Wolf Club must have been instructed by the thorn bird to get rid of the wind chimes before meeting them in the tower.

This time it's another 3,000-word chapter.

For some reason, there will be one less shift tomorrow at 9 o'clock.
