[BL, MTL] Unlimited Cycles of Death (Unlimited Flow)

Chapter 159: Return and End (14)

"According to the current technology and concept of your earth, the marginal world is actually just a very real virtual world in your view." The

old man prepared some simple food for Jin, and after Jin finished eating, the old man walked to the fireplace again , picked up the wood that was placed nearby and added fire to the fireplace.

He also added some water to the kettle on the steel frame of the fireplace and reheated it to boil. While boiling the water, he said to Jin: "A virtual world is a virtual world, even if you have real The body, with all five senses, can read, learn and think, and can also be injured and hurt."

"But this does not mean that you have real life." The

old man said: "Back to the real world, you are still dead people, there is only one A broken soul that is about to collapse."

"Perhaps one day, this soul will be called by that unknown space, and you will have the opportunity to go to another world, another universe, but that is just a chance... the probability of this opportunity happening Insignificant."

"After most lives die, their souls die out completely during the long wait, turning into the most primitive energy and blending into the heaven and earth. Most of these energies will turn into wind and rain, adding bricks and tiles to grassroots life like flowers and plants. "

The water in the kettle was slowly steaming, the old man narrated slowly, and sighed: "I am different from you humans, I come from a name called... Translated from your human language, it means 'the most Beautiful 'planet."

"This planet is very far away from the Milky Way, and it is not even in your universe. Starting from the earth, it takes about 346.2 billion light-years to reach it if calculated in human light-year units. Planet."

"But because our technology is far more advanced than human beings, we will use the space folding technology to continuously shorten the distance, so it doesn't take too long to reach the earth from us, and it will look like more than a hundred years."

The old man told Jin: "When I first came to the earth, it was around 1700 in the Gregorian calendar. At that time, my spaceship had some accidents and was damaged during the flight, so that I had to make an emergency landing on the earth to rest my spaceship. Spaceship."

"The environment on the earth is not suitable for me to survive, the aerobic environment on the earth is a kind of poison to me, my original body will be poisoned to death in less than a minute on this planet, so I put My body is locked in a hibernation chamber for preservation, and my soul is attached to a reindeer."

"You must be surprised, but in our place, the body and the soul can be separated. If the body because of various Due to aging or damage, we will save our souls in the virtual world... yes, it is a virtual world similar to the edge world."

"We save our souls in the virtual world, and then wait for our companions in the real world to help make a new body, Then extradite the souls, so as to achieve the purpose of 'immortality'."

Hearing this, Jin Momo was horrified, and exclaimed, "So you can really live forever, right?"

"No." The old man shook his head. Shaking his head, "Replacing the body is not as easy as you think. If we regard the soul as water and the body as a container, a cup, then how much water the cup can hold depends on the capacity of the cup."

"A cup may hold your soul, but if the cup is not full, your soul will not be able to fill it completely. A little water may overflow, and the overflowing water will be lost in vain. "

Jin understood what the old man said: "That is to say, if you keep changing the container, sometimes the soul will be consumed, right?

" But unfortunately, these containers still can't match the soul 100%, so we still can't completely prevent this consumption."

"Moreover, the consumed soul cannot be repaired, and the consumed soul will gradually cause our memories and feelings to disappear. We would gradually become cold and weak in the process of constantly changing containers."

"Usually those souls who are extremely weak will not continue to change containers, they will always stay in the virtual world, living with that false posture."

"This is only a small part, more souls choose the eternal Death, choose to turn into wind and rain, and moisten the earth."

At this point in the old man's words, the water in the kettle had boiled, so he lifted the kettle, poured the hot water into a bucket, mixed some cold water, and Jin said: "Come and warm your hands and feet. It's too cold. Although this is not your own body, I hope you treat others kindly.

" After washing his face with water, he began to soak his feet again under the sign of the old man. I have to say that this was very pleasant. Jin hadn't felt such a simple sense of comfort for a long time.

The old man himself began to wash his face and feet with the remaining hot water. After tidying up, the old man went to make Jin's bed, and Jin helped pour water and wipe the floor.

After everything was sorted out, the old man pointed to the temporary wooden bed in the room, covered with thick blankets and quilts, and let Jin go to sleep.

"Is this really good? Do we still have some things to do?" Jin was actually a little uneasy. He came here to complete the task that Amu gave, but it turned out to be like a guest. Not only was he entertained , but also to stay overnight.

"It's useless to worry, it's a failure anyway." The old man didn't care if Jin slept or not, anyway, he seemed to want to sleep, so he climbed into his bed and lay down comfortably.

Jin also sat on his bed. He still couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and couldn't help but said: "Old man, you said that Amu lied to me, and that he didn't want to complete the task of killing the marginal will. What do you mean? If this is a failure, don't we need to think of some countermeasures?"

"Oh... It seems that you won't let me sleep well if you don't ask the truth." The old man lay on the bed and sighed. "Then let me tell you slowly, you can lie on the bed and listen to me."

"I said before that in our world, the body and soul are separated. The body can be recreated, while the soul is preserved in the virtual world, and that virtual world is similar to the edge world you see now. "

"When I came to the earth three hundred years ago, because I couldn't use the original body, I had no choice but to occupy the body of a reindeer as a temporary container."

"At that time, I was full of curiosity about everything on the earth. Heart, I looked around with the eyes of this reindeer, moved around with the body of the reindeer, I ignored the cruel law of the chain of life, so I was attacked by a bear.

" I ran away. Immediately afterwards, I was rescued by a pair of human brothers, and they found a doctor to treat me." The

old man told Jin the story of Amu and Axin, but Jin had already learned from Amu Muchen. Knowing the specific situation of the brothers, he still patiently listened to the old man's story.

The old man said: "Giving the crystal stone to these two brothers is the worst decision I have ever made in my life. I thought that the technology contained in this stone could allow human beings to embark on the road of 'eternal life' just like us. "

But I was wrong. Life on every planet has its own evolutionary history. I shouldn't interfere with human beings at will. Not only can our technology fail to bring immortality to human beings, it will even make you Into destruction."

"In order to make up for this mistake, I repaired the spaceship as soon as possible and embarked on the return journey, wanting to bring back the 'weapon' before the power of the crystal stone destroys you humans, and use the weapon to annihilate the stone "

Jin was surprised and said: "That's why you said that Amu is the weapon..."

"Amu is the candidate I am optimistic about, and he accepted the task I gave him without hesitation, so I put the 'weapon' Implanted into his spirit." The

old man said: "The crystal stone is not so easy to be destroyed, after all, it is the virtual space we use to store the soul, this virtual space is very special, it has a self-protection mechanism, when it detects When it is in danger, it may take the initiative to do something to protect itself."

Jin was confused by the old man's words, "Take the initiative to do something to protect yourself? What do you mean?"

"Literally, if someone wants to destroy the edge world and can almost do it, the edge world will take the lead in eliminating the threat with violent means. "

Under normal circumstances, we have no way to destroy this virtual space, so we need special weapons."

Jin still didn't quite understand what the old man said. He tried to make the old man describe it to him more intuitively. But the old man seemed rather tired.

"I don't know how to describe it." The old man didn't bother to continue talking. He pulled the quilt on his body and shrank into the warm quilt. "Anyway, it's too late for me to say these things now. Let Amu handle it."

" Didn't you say that Amu failed?"

"Even if you don't kill the marginal will, there is a way to destroy the marginal world, but it's a little troublesome." The old man was really sleepy, he yawned and closed his eyes.

Jin couldn't continue pestering and questioning, so he had to lie on the bed, but Jin kept tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, and couldn't fall asleep.

...

On the other side, Mr. He's partner is leading various armed teams to raid the church stronghold of the fringe religion.

They wanted to wipe out the cult in a short time, and then take back the crystal stone stolen by the cult and return it to Mr. He.

But they came a step too late. After they successively captured all the strongholds of the church, they were still unable to find out the whereabouts of the crystal stone.

After interrogating those believers in turn, they learned that in the hour before they raided the church, someone took the first step and took the stone away.

The whereabouts of the crystal stone was unknown, and Mr. He and his partners exploded.
