Chapter 4 Yanren Receiver and Missing Body
"Have the missing body entered the refugee street?"
"right."
Although the two of them still have human appearances, the skin parts they exposed, including their heads and arms, were full of dolls, like wooden parts and metal parts, like puppets made by some kind of machinery or mechanism.
But that's not the case, they have their own will.
They are exactly what they call silencers.
The "new human beings" that countless flesh-hearted people yearn for and even admire in Liumin Street.
The slender and thin Yanman was wearing white clothes and armor, while the other tall and strong Yanman was wearing black jacket and leather pants.
On the refugee street where countless wastes were piled up, two squid people stopped at the place where the crow's mouth picked up their helmets. The slender squid people spit out a mechanical male voice, as if the hard pupils of crystals were scanned:
"It should be around here."
After this sentence, the two of them glanced left and right, as if they were looking for something, but after a few minutes of searching, the two seemed to return in vain.
After a glance at each other, the slender slim man pulled open his collar. With the sound of opening and closing as if wood was rubbing and metal, the "flesh" on his shoulders opened, and his hand reached in and took out something.
It was a green, hard, metal-like branch, lanceolate, oblong metal blades distributed symmetrically at both ends.
Toward the leaves on the branches, Yanren whispered:
“No target was found.”
After saying that, he raised the branch. Almost when he raised it, a white bird with a dove-like mechanical traces flew over it as if it had emerged from the void, took away the green branch in his hand and disappeared from the spot.
More than ten seconds later, the white bird emerged from the air not far away again, flapped its wings and flew to his hand, put the green branch in his hand, and flew away and disappeared again.
A jacket wearing sunglasses was lying in a hunched man, and he put the green branches to his ears skillfully, and a female voice came out:
"Then you don't need to look for it. The fluctuations of the missing body have disappeared here."
Hearing this sentence, the man in the leather jacket changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and swung the green branches in his hand away.
That is, when he was throwing the green branches, the mechanism-like white bird disappeared from the air like it came.
And his body is also changing.
With the sound of opening and closing of iron and wood parts, his jacket was constantly being stretched out.
And at this moment, another sniffer shouted:
"Langan! Calm down!"
After he shouted, the abnormality of the man in the jacket stopped abruptly, and the enlarged body retracted as the parts opened and closed.
Watching him recover, the white-clothed Yanren whispered:
"How many times have you remembered the rules?"
Upon hearing this, the man in the jacket who had returned to his original state was silent for a moment and spit out a number:
“61.”
Seeing his appearance, Yanren in white dress smiled:
"After we shelter awaken the bridge of spirit, our body will also assimilate with the spirit. Through the bridge of spirit, we integrate the spirit and the body, and we gain special abilities, but we also have defects."
"Our floating emotions will directly affect the body and cause changes in the body."
He picked up the flying green branch, put it back from his shoulder, and said:
"The passionate emotions will improve our physical abilities in an all-round way, but will lose a certain degree of judgment. A high vigilance will make our perceptions sharp, but it may also weaken our attack ability at the same time. A fear will also make us flexible when escaping but lose a certain degree of discrimination..."
"The abilities we have are classified according to performance, including transformation, exterior, attachment, perception, extra, living, and unsettled, and transformation is the one that is most sensitive to emotional changes."
"Your emotional changes will directly activate your abilities and make your body change."
As he said that, he glanced at the surroundings:
"Do you know the exact difference between us shelters and the body of longing?"
The man in the jacket known as Langan nodded and responded:
"We shelter are united by the spirit and flesh, so that the spirit and body can be assimilated, and changes in thinking and emotions will directly affect the body."
"But although the body of thought is a spiritual residue of human beings in the old era, although it does not have physical body, their characteristics are highly condensed and can be directly manifested in spiritual form."
"No, it should be said that because they are highly condensed, they can become bodies of thoughts and appear in spiritual form."
The white-clothed Yanren said in a deep voice while scanning the surroundings:
"We shelterers need to fight against the physical changes caused by mental changes, so that our own structure is stable enough, otherwise, they may even lose their personality and collapse."
"When we contain the missing body, we need to choose and find a missing body that is sufficiently compatible with ourselves to accommodate it."
"But the body of missing someone is different."
"They are the condensation of some ideological characteristics in humans in the old era. Moreover, the characteristics of humans in the old era are very easily polluted and their spirits are easily spread. This highly condensed ideological characteristics have strong contamination and can pollute the spiritual body, and at the same time as the contaminated spiritual body that is consistent with its own characteristics into a part of itself."
"Sometimes, the shelter who has contained these missing bodies will be contaminated."
"However, we shelters can rely on the stability of our own structure to forcibly contain the longing body that is not in line with ourselves, but the longing body cannot assimilate other spiritual bodies that are different from our own characteristics."
“This is our advantage.”
"But, we also have considerable disadvantages in the face of the missing body."
The man in white clothes looked around:
"If the spiritual body polluted by the missing body belongs to us, the body will also undergo more or less changes, which can be identified through this method."
"But if the object contaminated by the missing body is not the shelter and without the integration of the spiritual body, then it is difficult for us to find the fact that it is contaminated."
"And once such a goal awakens the bridge of spirit, then the situation will be bad."
"A few mental pollution incidents caused by the longing body that had been mixed in the city have caused us to lose a lot of people."
Hearing this, the man in jacket asked in confusion:
"Then why not deal with all the old humans?"
His tone was very normal and plain, obviously he really thought so.
His question made Yanren in white shook his head:
"For safety, Yanren will try to avoid excessive changes in their thinking, but it is precisely because of this that there is an overall crisis in Yancheng."
"We must protect a certain number of old humans with potential as new parts for the Yancheng."
"Even in the refugee street, we must avoid the invasion and pollution of the longing body."
At this moment, as the night gradually came, the white-clothed Yanren seemed to notice something. In the dim night, vertical patterns appeared in his crystal-like eyes:
