Chapter 878 Where's that persistent ghost?
“I know who you are. You guys have been hiding very well, haven’t you? I think this body can no longer support your normal life, and you haven’t been able to find a replacement, have you?”
The ones who truly determined and created all of this are dead. They thought themselves to be different, but they are still bound by the ordinary cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death. The only one who can replace them is themselves.
The genius alchemist people talk about has never been able to find those guys, since they always change their appearance. After searching for so many years, he has only found three. There should be four or five more.
The guy's words didn't specify whether they included him or not, but from the memories, I knew there was a rather special guy whose soul was split in two. Was it one person or two people?
"Speaking of which, you really are the same as when we first met. If everyone could grow forever, then there wouldn't be any of us..."
The other person's words remained the same, seemingly respectful but actually quite unpleasant. I chuckled lightly, not really wanting to hear their trashy talk.
"If everyone were an idiot like you, it would be truly unbearable... If everyone were like you, how painful it would be. If there really were a god who made you into so-called immortal beings, that would be even more painful. You have already violated so many things..."
An aging soul and a broken body—this is the best torture for you…
“Of course I understand. In your eyes, what kind of people are we? Compared to your alchemical skills, our knowledge is certainly insignificant. I saw your little trick just now, but of course I was fully prepared…”
The scene before him didn't even make him frown slightly. Such a close-up scene would have startled an ordinary person, or even a normal person.
What kind of scene was it? Blood and flesh seemed to be slowly seeping from the wall, giving people an indescribable sense of unease.
It looks like a soul wailing and crying incessantly. Just by looking at it, you can tell how the person died. No, did they really die?
Unconsciously, he reached his hand behind his waist, a position from which the sword could easily slice through space.
"They're all alive... Is this what you call the result of alchemy? If my students did something like this, I would personally clean house!"
Yes, what's truly infuriating is that they're all alive, and they're living in a painful way...
Bloody and mangled things shouldn't be here. Is there something else going on that makes me see this?
"There's nothing seriously wrong. Everything is done with sincerity, isn't it? Your eyes are beautiful. Why are you so unhappy about our invention? It's all quite good, isn't it?"
The scene before me returned to what was supposed to be normal; it looked like an ordinary wall. No, how could this be considered ordinary?
"I can see their pain, how did you manage to blind them to everything?"
"...That's amazing. If I had eyes as sharp as yours, I could save a lot of effort when developing these things. I was wondering why you were so angry, and now I realize that's the reason... This is the real reason that can deceive everything. Because damaged bodies have no souls, living is just a conditioned reflex. Only in this way can those eyes be completely deceived."
"...Because the human soul is a special kind of material, and human emotions and the soul are both supplies of power, so if you let a soulless person live, although there is no soul, the physiological instincts exist, which also means that a huge amount of emotions will be generated as a continuous supply of energy, right?"
“Absolutely correct. But you can tell all this at first glance? Indeed, you are a genius. This is the energy supply device. Emotions are something that cannot be explained or described and are difficult to collect, so we put in some effort to make it…” The other person’s tone became so proud and self-satisfied, as if it were something very good.
So why?
Anger filled Norlinxi's heart. So what was the point of all the things you hurt?!
"You believe that harming innocent lives for your own so-called interests is all justified?!"
His previously calm tone unconsciously carried more anger, and his eyes seemed to blaze with even more fury, as if they were about to burst forth. For some reason, an indescribable rage filled his chest and heart...
"Whether it's right or wrong is not for me to judge. I only know that this is the most beneficial outcome for us, and that's enough. I don't think it's a big deal. This is all perfectly normal, isn't it?"
The other party spoke these words very calmly, which seemed perfectly normal... How could it be normal? However, harming innocent people is absolutely wrong!
"You've been completely wrong from the start. Where do you want to take me? Let's be frank, you certainly had the guts to plant explosives, but they've been defused now. How do you plan to get me out of here?"
The deity has told me that everything is over. There is a special terminal on my finger that allows direct communication through the soul, unlike the device worn on the ear. It allows me to talk directly to the other party and is a special branch.
"Of course we've prepared for both scenarios. You should know your child well, right? Guess what your child has been busy with lately?"
When I realized that what the other person said was true, an indescribable sense of panic overwhelmed me, even surpassing the fear I felt when I almost died. This panic surged to the top of my head.
Pretending to be calm, what the other person says isn't really that credible, right? It's actually quite unlikely, isn't it? Of course, you know how capable your own child is…
"Why should I trust you?"
"But you only have one child's life. Do you understand that? Are you really going to gamble with me? Gamble on whether your child is really in my hands, even if there's only a 1 in 10 chance. What would happen if I won?"
Even if there's only a 1 in 10 chance of being abducted, we still have to go and see... What the other person said is true, even if there's only a 1 in 10 chance, we still have to go!
That's my child...
