Extra: The story of Zhu Lingwu's previous life

Next Chapter

Zhu Lingwu remembers very well that when he was thirty-five years old, that is, in February 1948, he was an active company commander in the Central Plains Field Corps of the People's Liberation Army.

In order to save a soldier during a military training, he was shot in the head by a grenade shrapnel, and then he was sent to the hospital to lie down for half a year.

Fortunately, the hospital at that time talked about conscience, or because Zhu Lingwu was a soldier and a company-level junior officer, the hospital that received him took care of him for half a year, until Dr. Zuihou judged that he was physically dead, and he was pushed to the morgue.

In fact, everything that happened after the shrunnel entered his head, Zhu Lingwu could see it through a special soul perspective, he clearly knew everything that happened around him in the past six months, but he just couldn't control his body.

But I don't know Weishenme, after arriving at the morgue, he suddenly felt the rich soul around him burrow into his body, and just one night, he found that he could control his body, although this control was still a little rigid and rusty.

But he knew very well that he was not a living person, because he found that his body had lost its normal sense of touch, smell, sight and hearing, all the organs in the body had stopped functioning, his heart was no longer beating, and the reason why he could see and hear was directly through the soul, it seemed that the shrapnel cut some nerves in his brain, but it touched a mysterious area, so that his soul automatically awakened.

Using the soul to sense everything, this is a new way to touch shijie, he is like sitting in a dark movie theater, watching a 3D movie at 360 degrees, of course, this also has a certain area, at the beginning he can only see the area around the body ten meters, but as long as he wants, he can still concentrate on looking in one direction, then he can see farther, as long as he wants, he can also see through the subtle structure inside the substance.

As for listening, it was even more amazing, he could only feel the vibration of that sound wave at first, but as soon as he released his soul power and touched that sound wave, he could hear the meaning contained in this sound wave.

However, doing so will consume his soul liliang, so when he was diagnosed with death, it was also the weakest time for his soul liliang, because he couldn't help but use his soul to observe the shijie around him, and as a result, the soul liliang that was originally scattered all over his body was absorbed by him into the soul main body and consumed.

Having lost the maintenance of his soul power, his body began to die rapidly, and doctors determined that he had changed from a vegetative state to an official death.

When he arrived at the morgue, he felt that his soul was like a sponge absorbing water, and instinctively sucked in a large stream of scattered soul liliang, and with the replenishment of these soul liliang, he could control his body, just like using his soul to turn into silk threads and move his body around like a marionette.

But Zhu Lingwu was afraid that he would be treated as a zombie and burned to ashes by fire, so he just secretly left the hospital, and then did not return to the army, and fled to the mountains alone to be a wild man for five years.

In the past five years, Zhu Lingwu finally adapted to his state, he found that he could alleviate the corruption of his body by sucking blood, although he could no longer supplement the nutrients needed by his body by eating food, but as long as he absorbed enough fresh blood, with the help of soul power, his body could get enough life energy replenishment, making him look no different from a normal person, he could move freely, and his strength could be greater than that of ordinary people.

However, only fresh blood has this effect, those blood bags stored in the hospital are useless, and later Zhu Lingwu guessed the truth, what he needs is not blood, but the life energy contained in the blood, only fresh blood contains this energy, but those stored blood bags do not, the blood function is just like a wire, becoming a medium for transporting life energy.

At first, Zhu Lingwu thought that he had turned into a vampire zombie, but later he found out that he had another special ability, which made him feel that he was not a zombie.

This is a kind of ability to capture souls, and now he has determined that all living beings have souls in their bodies, and usually these soul consciousness is hidden in the soul treasure of the pine gland in the eyebrow gland.

And after the death of these creatures, their soul consciousness will leave the body under the wrapping of soul power to find a new body, which may be reincarnation under the laws of nature.

As long as Zhu Lingwu's soul power was stronger than the soul power of those dead creatures, he could easily absorb the souls of these creatures into his own soul and plunder the soul power they contained.

He also discovered that the soul consciousness of each creature actually contained many special soul memories, and as long as he was willing to take the time to sort them out, he could obtain these memories.

In fact, Zhu Lingwu can easily control his body and make himself look like a normal human being, and more importantly, with the help of his increasingly powerful soul liliang, he is already very accustomed to using soul liliang.

In this way, Zhu Lingwu returned to the shijie of normal human beings, and he found that in normal human society, with this ability to capture souls, he easily had a new identity, but in order to facilitate his own access to fresh blood, he originally came to the grasslands of the great northwest, and became a herdsman, and he could get fresh blood from the grazing cattle and sheep at any time.

As for human blood, he didn't have much interest, mainly because he had tried, it was no different from animal blood, and doing so made him feel repulsed from the soul level, he was originally a human after all.

After the country's reform and opening up, Zhu Lingwu used his ability to easily obtain a large amount of money and opened a deer breeding farm in the northeast, because the life energy contained in deer blood is very high, which can better meet the needs of his body.

It can be said that in the next few decades, Zhu Lingwu's small life was still quite good, his identity as a living dead was not noticed by outsiders, and in the long years, he began to look for various materials to learn, hoping to know what he had become.

After studying Eastern and Western mythology, he had a ridiculous feeling that he might be more like a fictional creature in novels and games, the Lich.

Lich, a kind of undead creature, well, the origin of the lich can be traced back to the folklore of the Middle East, and by storing the soul in a container to achieve immortality is related to the funeral rites of Egypt, and in novels and games, there are some mages who use magic to turn themselves into corpse witches in pursuit of eternal life, so as to maintain the magical ability in front of them and gain the ability to die, or they can make their souls immortal forever, in a way, they become necromancers.

Anyway, Zhu Lingwu doesn't feel like a zombie, because his body does not have the characteristics of a zombie, there is no rigid mutation, if he replenishes his blood, he may really be corrupted into water and turn himself into a skeleton, of course, Zhu Lingwu is not sure if he will still be alive after becoming a skeleton.

Anyway, in Zhu Lingwu's feeling, he was no different from ordinary people, and he didn't get any of the flying and earth-piercing abilities that zombies in myths and legends have.

So according to his special soul ability, Zhu Lingwu felt that he was more like a lich, but it was a pity that he didn't know any magic and spells, maybe no one could teach him these liliang.

After determining what he was, Zhu Lingwu spent the rest of his time shifting his attention to the study of the so-called spells, but unfortunately he was still clueless.

At the same time, he also discovered that his body seems to attract lightning easily, and it can be said that he can attract lightning strikes more than lightning rods, so on thunderstorms, he will never go out.

It's a pity that Murphy's Law doomed him to a thunderbolt, because Murphy's Law tells us that if you are worried about something happening, then it is more likely to happen, and if there is a chance that something will go bad, no matter how small that likelihood, it will always happen.

There are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, even if Zhu Lingwu will look at the weather forecast every time he goes out, Zhu Lingwu is still struck by lightning.

Or maybe this is a kind of anti-virus catastrophe for the existence of Zhu Lingwu by shijie, in short, on the way out of Zhu Lingwu, suddenly there were dark clouds, lightning and thunder, and then a thunderbolt fell on Zhu Lingwu's body.

Who would have thought that in February and March, when you go out on a sunny day and step into spring, you will be struck by thunder?

Fortunately, the thunder and lightning did not completely scatter Zhu Lingwu's soul, but let Zhu Lingwu cross over.

The moment his body was struck by lightning, his powerful soul power wrapped around his soul consciousness and wanted to escape from his feet.

After that, he found that a black hole appeared in the air, and soon his soul was irresistibly attracted to the black hole, and the next moment his soul consciousness almost collapsed, and he lost his consciousness.

When Zhu Lingwu regained consciousness, he found that in his body of a little doll, this body seemed to have been struck by lightning, half-dead, almost scorched, but finally there was still some life.

He instinctively entered the soul hiding of this body and found the little doll's own soul main consciousness body, which was as obvious as twinkling stars in a pitch-black universe.

Zhu Lingwu, who was already a veteran, easily got the soul main consciousness body of this little doll and temporarily occupied this body, and after that, he was ready to use his own method to control this dying body.

As a result, he was confronted with something that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

This shijie actually has someone who can spell, under the treatment of spells and drugs, the body of this little doll was actually saved again, and in the process, his soul was perfectly integrated into this body, and he successfully took it.

So, he had a new, alive young body, and he had no rejection of his soul, and after spending a few days analyzing the memories possessed by the little doll's original soul consciousness, he transformed it into a trace of his own soul.

And Zhu Lingwu completely replaced this little doll, and he came back to life.
