Chapter 37: Walking with Ghosts at Night
Just now, as soon as Ren Yunsheng touched the light ball, he felt a powerful energy surge and poured into his body along the fire fork. This energy was composed of the spiritual power emitted by more than a thousand ghosts after death, and it was extremely huge. It can be said that even if he touched it a little, his whole person would be immediately burst.
Of course, the main god would not deliberately let him die, although the main god did not like him very much... Since this side mission is only worth 500 reward points, it means that the danger is not very high. Ren Yunsheng also came back afterwards. If he had directly activated the fighting spirit and destroyed the light ball, it would have only a minor injury at most. But he was so desperate that he used a fire fork to penetrate, causing the energy to flow back, which suddenly broke the meridians in his body.
This was Ren Yunsheng's mistake. He thought that he would not have formed a "pathway" by contacting the fire fork. However, the fact was not as he expected. Since the fire fork was a spiritual weapon, it was naturally different from ordinary iron tools. Simply put, it was a "conscious soul body", but the spiritual power was highly condensed, so it possessed the nature that the body could also be touched by the mortal body.
I don’t know if it’s luck or unlucky, although I’m lucky enough to die, strictly speaking, Ren Yunsheng is no longer a living person. Through the light ball, he understood a lot, such as the origin of the ghost world and the reasons for the formation of spiritual weapons...
At the beginning of civilization, there were no ghosts in the world. The definition of ghosts and monsters comes from humans, and similarly, this kind of creature also comes from humans.
When humans have wisdom, they immediately fear the unknown. They are afraid of disasters, beasts, and... fear of death.
And when the thoughts of sentient beings gather together and reach their peak, even the world itself cannot resist this huge will—
Will influences faith, blaspheme wisdom, and even distorts reality. So ghosts appear...
All kinds of fears in the deepest part of the heart have become reality one by one. Ghosts have emerged one after another around the world, slaughtering the humans who created them. Humans are becoming more and more afraid, which has further catalyzed the increase and evolution of ghosts.
Yes, ghosts are not static. They will become more specific and real as the thoughts of sentient beings become more and more specific. Most of them appear in the image of ferocious birds and beasts; a few are illusory and undefined, a concrete imagination of natural disasters.
Whether it is ferocious birds and beasts, specific imagination of disasters, or evil spirits that are close to human images, they can all be collectively called "soul bodies".
Soul, soul, spirit is energy, soul is obsession. Ghosts take the fear of sentient beings as their bones, and the free energy between heaven and earth as their bodies. They come from reality, but they are beyond the concept of reality and cannot harm them through conventional means.
However, there are no perfect things in the world, and so are ghosts. As they become more real and specific, they will be bound by the rules of reality. This is why Yunsheng cannot kill them but can contact and even force them to retreat.
Similarly, humans killed by ghosts usually leave deep resentment, lingering in the land of death for a long time. This resentment is another form of obsession with sentient beings. Combined with a large amount of spiritual power, the Yin Realm is born. The reason why Sasaki Kojiro prevented the invasion of ghosts is because of this, and Ren Yunsheng was also aware of being deceived.
Because...
The purpose of ghosts is not to massacre humans, nor to absorb yang energy, essence and blood. They came from the beginning to die, intending to convert the real world into the Yin realm step by step. Otherwise, why did the humans in this world clearly not find effective ways to annihilate ghosts, but Ren Yunsheng has almost never seen many ghosts along the way?
That's because they are around you from beginning to end! They have become the Yin Realm!
There are countless places in Honshu Island, including bones and thorns, city ruins, and countless places have become Yin Realms. I am afraid that in the absence of time, this largest island in Japan will completely become a territory of ghosts, and then it will be called true fall.
As for spiritual weapons, the reason why these special weapons exist is related to the mysterious electromagnetic sound. This electromagnetic sound is nothing else, it is actually...
A sudden remark awakened Ren Yunsheng from his meditation. After listening silently, his face changed slightly, and then he returned to his original state.
(It seems that I really can't hide this time...)
Thinking of this in his heart, Ren Yunsheng looked at Iori who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed. Although his spiritual power could not repair the injury, her face still made her look much better. Even if she left him, it would be more than enough to protect herself by relying on the strength of a woman alone.
"I tell you, it's much more convenient to have an energy source like you. After I recover, I'll find some bandages for you. Then we'll find my team members. You helped me a lot before. I'm not an ungrateful person. This time I'll be the only one who can protect you..."
Iori suddenly smiled and said, Ren Yunsheng saw that her eyebrows were filled with a faint joy, and it seemed that he was in a good mood. He accidentally took this woman to take risks together, so he interrupted:
"······Next, I may not be able to continue to care about you. What are your plans?"
Iori suddenly fell silent. After a while, she opened her eyes and looked at Ren Yunsheng deeply: "You don't plan to care about me anymore, why are you asking me about this?"
“That’s right.”
"You!" Iori's pretty face became angry and stood up suddenly. Her face changed again and again, either angry or puzzled. "Do you... want to close those passages?"
Ren Yunsheng smiled in surprise. He thought this woman should be stupid and could not see any enlightenment. Since she had been guessed, he had nothing to hide. So he smiled and said, "Yes, you have listened to me too. There is not only one channel. I just received a message similar to your convening order and asked me to go east...."
"The question I ask you is, are you going to close those passages?"
"Isn't this nonsense? I said I received the message..."
“You can choose not to go.”
"You don't understand, I can't stop going."
Iori suddenly sneered softly: "You are going to die, I won't stop you. Let's go, I'm going to find my team members, they are still alive and dead."
As she said that, she turned around and left, but she did not hesitate at all.
The two of them met by chance, but there was no friendship. Ren Yunsheng never took his sarcasm to Iori before. He only felt that this woman had a very strange temper. She had to curse him when she was about to part ways.
In fact, Ren Yunsheng didn't really want to go, but this time the mission was released by the main god:
"········The side mission is opened, go to Tokyo and close the parallel world channel. After completing the mission, you will be rewarded with 5,000 reward points and a B-level side story. If the mission fails, you will be forced to erase it."
What a forced erasure! Ren Yunsheng is no longer willing, he has to go this time, otherwise he will be dead.
Fortunately, he was not at all unscrupulous. The energy return not only broke his meridians, but also fed back some of the characteristics of the Yin Realm to him. From the information obtained from the light ball, we can see that the Yin Realm is the underworld left in the real world, which belongs to both reality and the underworld, and the fantasy land of the underworld.
The same is true for him now, or in other words, the same is true for the half-real and half-virtual state.
Ren Yunsheng is now both a supernatural body and a living person. He is between the soul and the living creature, and he is neither born nor dead.
In other words, he can now activate the energy in his body without meridians. In addition, the energy in his body is much stronger than before. But this state is not without cost. For example, if he is still alive now, he depends on the energy in his body to maintain his existence.
According to the rate of energy loss, he still has a lifespan of about ten days, so it is still not necessary to use it actively.
Ren Yunsheng sighed and emptyed his thoughts. Iori was far away from there, so he stopped stopping for a long time and got up and walked. It would take about three days to get from here to Tokyo. He had learned about the general direction from Takeo Okada before, and now the most urgent task is to find a means of transportation, otherwise he would probably not be able to get to the place for a month with his legs alone.
While thinking, Ren Yunsheng walked out of the city. He remembered that there was a motorcycle left by the Rapunzhe tribe nearby, which could be borrowed and used for use, although he couldn't ride a motorcycle...
At this moment, a dazzling bright light suddenly lit up in front of him, which was particularly obvious under the dark night. Ren Yunsheng was shocked and hurriedly narrowed his eyes and looked at it.
"Hello--"
Under the light, a graceful figure appeared and faintly appeared. Iori sat on the motorcycle, his face as if it was frost.
"Get in the car, bastard."
