Chapter 278: The Cursed Rod is the Backbone
The moment he entered Ma Jing's spiritual sea, Qin Liang communicated with the soul butterfly. The soul butterfly flew out reluctantly and released the extremely pure mental power of his body. So in Ma Jing's spiritual sea, Ma Jing's spiritual mark, which was almost faint, was about to disappear, gradually became clear.
"You are..." Ma Jing's spiritual mark in the spiritual sea opened his eyes and saw Qin Liang standing in front of him. He couldn't help but show a vigilant look on his face. Then he noticed the surrounding environment, and a puzzled look appeared on Ma Jing's face.
He was extremely familiar with his place, as familiar as part of his body, but Ma Jing was sure that he had never been to this place or seen it. Therefore, this feeling made him feel extremely contradictory.
"This is your spiritual sea. I am the one who sold your companions yesterday. When you were injured, he thought I could save you, so he brought you to me." Qin Liang said lightly. Entering the spiritual sea of others is undoubtedly an extremely dangerous thing.
Because if you don’t do it well, it will cause mental confusion. At the same time, it is an extremely risky thing to touch the other party’s spiritual marks, because in everyone’s spiritual sea, one has unique advantages and great advantages as well as other spiritual sea stations that invade in.
"Xiao Wu may have been confused and lost his mind for a moment, so he did this. I don't say this but question your ability. The bottle of violent potion you made is indeed a good thing. It's the best violent potion I've ever seen. But I know my body myself, and it's a miracle to be able to survive until now." Ma Jing couldn't help but show a bitter smile on his face.
No one wants to die, and Ma Jing is no exception. But some things are not something you don’t want to happen, but even though today I am dead, Ma Jing has no regrets about his previous choice. Because he has played with a life like a flower for a long time, he has achieved a clear conscience.
"You are a sensible person." Qin Liang nodded and admired Ma Jing's calmness in the face of death.
"I have only seen the same example as me, so I'm more clear than others know." The bitter smile on Ma Jing's face disappeared, and his expression became a little free and easy. Since it can't be stopped and got rid of it, then face it calmly. Ma Jing has never been afraid in his life, so naturally he can't be afraid now.
"The examples you saw were just because you didn't meet me." Qin Liang said lightly.
To be honest, Qin Liang only brought Ma Jing in to prepare for treatment. In addition to his understanding of Ma Jing, he was not easy to let go. Qin Liang was also a little curious about Ma Jing's current health. Or he had a problem with research. At this time, Ma Jing's health was naturally extremely bad, and if he moved slightly, it would be broken directly.
But under this situation, Ma Jing's body also had a slight mutation, but this mutation could not suppress the arrival of death. Therefore, this mutation would disappear with Ma Jing's death. But since this situation was encountered by Qin Liang, it undoubtedly triggered Qin Liang's greed for various physical mutations.
You should know that Qin Liang's greatest achievement is not mental power, potions, or undead spells. It is a transformation of the undead body. Therefore, when Qin Liang saw a unique corpse, he felt indescribable excitement, and he was eager to study the reasons why the corpse was unique. Then see if it could be cracked and used on the undead.
"Can you save me?" Ma Jing's eyes lit up suddenly. Since he could survive, no one wanted to die. But soon Ma Jing's eyes dimmed again, "No, it's impossible. Even the ones in the army..."
Ma Jing did not continue to say it. Obviously, this involved some secrets in the army. Even if he was about to die, Ma Jing would not disclose any of these secrets.
"If others can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't do it. Otherwise, it's great if I go to drink tea. Why do you come to your spiritual sea? It's also awakening your spiritual mark." Qin Liang chuckled, and an indescribable pride emanated from him.
He really couldn't restore Ma Jing's body to its original state. But he still had the confidence to save Ma Jing's life. At the same time, if Ma Jing was willing, he could not only save Ma Jing's life, but also bring unexpected changes to Ma Jing.
"Can you really save me?" Ma Jing's dim gaze suddenly became brighter.
"I don't have 100% certainty to cure you, but the worst result is no big death. You don't seem to have any other choice now." Qin Liang said. This is not to scare Ma Jing. Although Qin Liang was extremely excited at this time, he wanted to study what the power contained in Ma Jing's body was. But he was really not sure about it when he restored Ma Jing's perfect appearance.
"Haha, too. I haven't seen through it yet, and I'll ask you to remind me. Just let it go. What you said is the worst result is that it's just that it's too big to die. I'm a person who has died once. What can I do if I die again? I'll give you this more than 100 pounds." Ma Jing laughed, but his weak mental power at this time was obviously not suitable for making such large-scale actions, and his mental mark instantly dimmed a lot.
"I will naturally do my best to save you, but it is better to explain some things clearly to you. After saving you, you may become different from now, or you may become slightly different from others. If so, do you still want me to save you?" Qin Liang looked at Ma Jing with serious eyes.
Unless Qin Liang has the legendary water of life now, it is impossible to completely restore Ma Jing. Therefore, Qin Liang's treatment naturally involves some powerful undead methods. Since Ma Jing's body is not good now, it will be better to replace it with the undead's body.
Although Qin Liang has never done such an experiment in this world, the appearance of the Demon Eye Nest and the Mist Swamp made Qin Liang understand that some of his research in the God and Demon Games seemed to be able to be copied into this world. It was just that he could not communicate with the undead world, which made Qin Liang a little confused. It was obviously very similar in many places, but the Undead world seemed to be very far away from here.
"Genetic transformation, or mechanical transformation?" Ma Jing's gaze suddenly contracted and looked at Qin Liang vigilantly.
At present, there are only two types of transformations that are not human. One is genetic transformation similar to Hessen. It is to inject some powerful monster genes into the human body, allowing people to have power beyond ordinary people. The second is mechanical transformation, which is to replace the human body's bones and other body parts with metal, making people a semi-robot.
Because mechanical alloys have extremely strong defense and machinery have inhuman power, people who are transformed by mechanical transformation are also very strong. However, whether it is genetic transformation or mechanical transformation, they go beyond the scope of the traditional human evolution path. This transformation is similar to the renewal of technological products.
If more advanced genetic agents are developed, the strength of people who are genetically modified will naturally improve. As well, better alloys and metals that are more suitable for reconciliation with human bodies, then people who are transformed by metals can also increase their strength and make rapid progress.
However, this transformation has lost its human foundation and even its most basic reproductive ability. Therefore, it is rejected by most people. Currently, only some major forces are secretly studying these things. For example, the boss behind Ma Jing's black boxing before has some relationship with genetic research. Many black boxers are the test subjects of these new gene agents, Hesen is just one of them.
"It's not genetic modification, nor mechanical modification. But it's a bit similar. After the transformation, you can still have the ability to grow independently. But some of the most basic things of human beings, such as the way of reproduction, may be lost. At the same time, some body parts, and even your body, will undergo some changes." Qin Liang pondered for a moment and said.
The evolution of the undead naturally exceeds the general perception of people, but it has something to do with genetic transformation, because Qin Liang wants to transform the person with the eyes into a powerful undead. However, it is different from the genetic transformation mastered by the world today.
At the same time, the replacement or implantation of some parts of the body is a bit similar to mechanical transformation. However, whether it is the replaced body parts or the implanted things, they are all powerful bones, organs and metals. Therefore, Qin Liang's method of transforming Ma Jing is related to these two transformation stations, but they are not the same.
"Have you developed a new direction of transformation?" Ma Jing showed a look of surprise on his face, and this "you" naturally refers to the power behind Qin Liang. Because no matter which kind of transformation it is, it cannot be studied and completed by this extremely young guy in front of him.
"You can think so too. But this is not a problem you should know now. What you have to do now is to accept my transformation and live. Or reject me can make you die more refreshed." Qin Liang's transformation is too subversive to the understanding of this world, so he is too lazy to explain.
Ma Jing showed a helpless smile on his face, but he looked at Qin Liang with helplessness and said, "Just as you said, do I still have the right to choose now? Although I hate to transform my body into a non-human, it is enough to be able to live. But I want to be sure. After the transformation of me, will I be completely controlled by you, and will I lose my sense of autonomy? Or you will use me to do things that are unfavorable to the country."
Although Ma Jing faced such a choice, he could also accept the transformation. However, his persistence and bottom line, and even his loyal beliefs have not been shaken at all.
"Don't worry, after the transformation, you will have self-consciousness, not a walking zombie puppet. But I must have control over you, otherwise I will make you stronger and you will kill me. Isn't this a disaster? As for letting you do things that harm the country, I don't have a long-cherished wish to unify the world. As long as others don't provoke me, I rarely provoke others. But as long as the person who provokes me, no matter who he is, he will die miserably."
Qin Liang did not hide anything, nor did he need any concealment. If Ma Jing refused his transformation for these reasons, Qin Liang had no regrets. At most, he would just study the reason for the power in Ma Jing's body. He would find a model to read and copy it before doing research. Therefore, Ma Jing was not Qin Liang's only choice.
"Okay, I agree, but you have to make sure you can't be sorry to the country." Ma Jing nodded, but he still insisted on loyalty.
"I'm not that bored to treason." Qin Liang rolled his eyes. He admired the loyalty of Chinese soldiers and was a little speechless. But overall, he was proud of China's such loyal soldiers and admired such people very much.
"Then there is no problem. What do I need to do now?" Ma Jing nodded and showed a slightly distorted smile.
If his mind fell into a coma, there would naturally be no problem. But at this time his spirit was so clear that the severe pain brought to him by his body that was about to break out was not something that ordinary people could tolerate. Therefore, his body began to thrust unnaturally, but was imprisoned on the ground by an invisible force and could not move.
"Your body is obviously not available now, and the bones are broken. The ones that are not broken are densely cracked and need to be replaced. Fortunately, although the body is broken, the spinal cord is fine, and the internal organs are also easy to get injured. The spinal bones are the support of a person's body, so let's replace it first."
"Replace the spine? Or is it a monster?" Ma Jing was obviously not ignorant of body transformation and asked.
"It's not a monster, it's a metal one. But it's not all metal ones, it's it." Qin Liang waved his hand and a staff appeared in his hand. It was a black skeleton palm. A skull was grabbed in his palm, and at this time, a green light flashed in the skeleton's hollow eyes.
While interested in the power contained in Ma Jing's current body, several ways to transform Ma Jing into an undead came into Qin Liang's mind. However, after combining several methods, Qin Liang still felt that using the Curse Staff as Ma Jing's spine and skull was the most appropriate.
The broken bones of Ma Jing's body are not only limbs, spine and ribs, but the skull on his head is also on the edge of the brokenness. The shape of the Curse Staff is just in line with Ma Jing's skull and spine, which is most suitable as the most important support.
"What is this?" Ma Jing asked in surprise when he saw the Cursed Staff. He had seen the staff, but this was the first time he had seen such a strange-shaped staff. What's more, he heard Qin Liang actually say that he used it as his backbone, which made Ma Jing even more incredible.
"A staff. To be precise, it is called the Curse Staff. It is divided by the level of elemental weapons. It is equivalent to the eighth level elemental staff. However, this is just the power it can exert now. The main material for forging it is the ribs of a powerful monster, so it has a good foundation and a broad room for promotion. However, it is precisely because its main material is bones, so it is most suitable for your spine and skull."
Looking at the Curse Staff Qin Liang couldn't help but think of the bones of countless giant beasts in the Broken World, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He regretted that he didn't purify a few more beast bones, causing the power of the Broken World to disappear now, and the dead creatures were all freed. So they all turned into dust and got nothing except the Broken World Qin Liang.
"Is this really OK?" Although it has been confirmed that Qin Liang really wants to use this staff as his backbone, Ma Jing was still a little unbelievable. Obviously, such a transformation exceeded his cognition, or exceeded the current direction of research. This is a new topic. And it is very likely to be a great topic.
"I am the one who transforms you. I said it's OK. But in order to achieve the best effect, you will be awake during the entire transformation process. So you can clearly feel every step of my transformation. Therefore, this is a great test for your will. If you can't hold on, your spirit will collapse directly." Qin Liang said with an extremely serious expression.
The most difficult part of the transformation of the undead is not the transformation embryo, nor is it difficult to obtain materials. The most difficult part is that the transformation process is long, and the transformation is maintained. Only those who are transformed can have self-consciousness, not just a puppet without any consciousness.
At the same time, this spirit is also a guarantee for the continuous evolution of the future, because only self-consciousness can actively cultivate. This way, it can continue to grow, rather than Qin Liang needs to help him. Instead of Qin Liang doing this, it is better to create a puppet directly.
"Do it. Don't worry about the tolerance problem, do whatever you think is good." Ma Jing's eyes showed a firm look.
Although Ma Jing still insisted on his loyal beliefs even after experiencing the hardships of life and the test of life and death, this does not mean that he has not grown at all. The experience during this period made Ma Jing understand the tragedy of not having strength and power. Therefore, Ma Jing also had some expectations for how powerful Qin Liang transformed himself.
"I hope you can still be so tough in a while. In fact, I can break your pain nerves and make you safer. But pain is the best stimulation to cells and also a spur of physical evolution. If you don't even have pain, your future achievements will eventually be limited." Qin Liang said.
"I know this." Ma Jing nodded, without pain, both genetically modified soldiers and mechanically modified soldiers were extremely powerful. Because they were fearless, even if their bodies were beaten to pieces, they could still be repaired as long as the core was not damaged.
But these people undoubtedly cut off their path to advance to the first level of high school, because this transformation will completely squeeze their most original power. It is more completely domineering than Wu Wei's forced stimulation and exploitation. What level is after the transformation is completed? Basically, there will be no breakthrough in this level in your lifetime unless technological progress is completely updated.
Since Qin Liang had discussed it with Ma Jing, he didn't talk nonsense. He waved his palm and dragged Ma Jing to let his body lie on the experiment table in the basement. Then Ma Jing's clothes instantly turned into ashes, revealing the twisted bones, swollen, and blue and purple body below.
The mental power completely penetrated Ma Jing's body. Qin Liang stopped and pinched it out to the top of the spine at the back of Ma Jing's head, and then suddenly pulled it down. A heart-wrenching feeling came out of Ma Jing's spine, making him subconsciously want to scream. But the throat tree seemed to be stuck and could not be screamed out. (To be continued...)
