"Hey! Wake up!"
Just when Pei Jiao was in a coma, suddenly there was a sharp pain on his face, the giant wolf with human face, the strange bird with nine claws, and the most terrifying monster with giant face all rushed towards him. Pei Jiao jumped up from the ground in fright. Only then did he see several Caucasian men standing in front of him, and the Caucasian man closest to him was making a gesture of stretching his feet. Obviously it was this white man just now. The man kicked him in the face.
Seeing Pei Jiao's agility, these white men also showed surprised expressions. The white man who kicked Pei Jiao's face curled his lips, and then said to Pei Jiao in English: "Fuck it!" What are you doing in a daze? Do you want us to bring you to your door? Damn, lie here and pretend to be dead. I can guarantee that this guy must have been here since before. Damn, these yellow pigs are thieves Damn, according to what I said, they should all be sent out of the country!" While speaking, these white men had already left with them, cursing as they walked.
Pei Jiao was naturally furious after being kicked awake, but compared to the anger in his heart, the situation in front of him was even more weird. If there was nothing wrong with his memory... he remembered that he had ventured from the underworld to return to the yang world? But why would a living person see him? Could it be that he occupied someone else's body and was reborn as described in those novels
Thinking of this, Pei Jiao immediately touched his body with excitement. The so-called death is worse than life. Those who have not lost will never know how painful it is to lose. If they can be resurrected, even a cripple is worse than living Those kind of monsters live strong, but before Pei Jiao was excited, when he subconsciously controlled his mental power and used his mental power to look inside his soul body like before, the result was that the light spots in his body , his own obsession, and the lightning runes are all clear at a glance... He is still a soul body, and he still has not been revived with a body...
"In other words, those white people just now are also souls? Why don't they have a black aura?" Pei Jiao suddenly came to his senses, those guys just now were also souls, and souls There is no black breath on it, isn't it the same as him
Pei Jiao suddenly came back to his senses after thinking about it, he looked around anxiously, and he saw the layout of a modern human city, with all kinds of bright lights and many tall buildings, although it was already night , but there are still many vehicles and pedestrians on the street. The most important thing is that Pei Jiao saw a famous building... the White House in the United States. This made him sure that he was on the earth, not traveling to another place. Inexplicable place.
Pei Jiao was so excited that he couldn't speak. If he hadn't been in a soul body at this moment, he might even burst into tears. He just stood there blankly for a long time, until a hand behind him patted his shoulder, and he Only then did he suddenly wake up, and he immediately felt guilty. If he was in the underworld and hell just now, he would have been swallowed by those monsters long ago. What kind of monsters will you encounter
When Pei Jiao turned his head, he happened to see a beautiful western beauty with blond hair, blue eyes and a slender height. She was showing a curious look on her face and said, "Hey, if you don't pick it up, those people will leave."
Pei Jiao is not a pig brother or something, he just took a look at this beauty and said, "Where is the place to get things?"
The beauty was slightly taken aback, but she didn't say much, but pointed to the street not far away, Pei Jiao looked and saw a group of people gathered there, and he didn't ask carefully what to get, Turned around and walked in that direction.
Pei Jiao understood in his heart that all the things in front of him were really weird. First of all, he didn't know what year it was, he only remembered that he died in mid-July 2009, according to the time he spent in the underworld. In other words, it should be the beginning of December 2009, but who knows whether the time flow of the two worlds is the same? What if it is now decades away? This is one of them.
The second is the souls around. As far as Pei Jiao saw, there are at least hundreds of souls around, and they are all souls without black breath, just like him. In fact, the souls and living people seem to be the same. There is a big difference, those souls look a little illusory, like a three-dimensional image, always a little unreal, and Pei Jiao saw at least hundreds of souls without black aura here , and they are still talking to each other, it is obvious that they did not become soul bodies just today, but have become soul bodies for a long time, and obviously have a relationship with each other.
It was because of the above two points that Pei Jiao had to be careful. He didn't dare to show his confusion of not knowing anything. Anyway, he was just following the trend, and then slowly inquired about what was going on, why these souls were not black. Breath, why didn't they go into the underworld
When Pei Jiao walked into the group of people, the eyes of one of them immediately became blank, he just glanced at Pei Jiao briefly, then nodded to the person next to him, and the person next to him immediately stretched out his hand, Gradually, ten ping-pong sized dots of light appeared on his hand, and the man didn't say much, just slapped the dots of light into Pei Jiao's body, and then the man turned to Pei Jiao with a face full of contempt. Pei Jiao waved his hand, signaling him to leave by himself.
Pei Jiao was really shocked beyond description. He didn't expect that the so-called taking something was to obtain the standard energy body. That thing is the most important component of the soul, and it was so easy to give it to someone else? Isn't that person afraid that his soul will disappear in smoke
With such a stomach full of questions, Pei Jiao casually drifted away to the distant streets. His head was full of unsolvable questions, and now that he was in Washington, the capital of the United States, going to China was not an easy task. It seems that he still needs to go to the airport to check, and he should be able to find a flight to China.
"Hey... that Japanese, did you just die?" Just when Pei Jiao was in confusion, suddenly such a voice came from behind him, so frightened that he turned his head immediately, only then did he see the man behind him. Floating was the western beauty who had reminded him before, she just happened to look at each other smilingly. .
Pei Jiao's heart moved, he looked around, and found that there were only two souls nearby, he and this Western beauty, and he no longer concealed it, just nodded and said: "Well, I also feel very strange, suddenly changed Became a soul, I never thought that a person would actually have a soul after death... By the way, I am not Japanese, I am Chinese!"
Only then did the western beauty show an expression of astonishment, as if she had seen something unbelievable, she almost lost her restraint and opened her mouth wide and said, "Impossible? I just said it casually, but you are really dead The one who lost? Then you rely on your own strength to get rid of your sins? My God, is there really someone who relies on himself to get rid of your sins?"
Pei Jiao smiled, and he floated about three meters away from the western beauty. This position is the most accurate and fastest place for him to emit lightning power. He smiled and said: "The sins you are talking about are those black breaths? Wrapped around me The black breath? That’s right, I got rid of the sins myself, but what happened to all of this? Why do we have souls after death, and what’s the matter with those sins? By the way, the previous person gave I lost ten light particles, what are these light particles?"
The western beauty still maintained that shocked expression, and after a long time she exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, it seems that I have picked a treasure this time..." After she finished speaking, she saw Pei Jiao Her complexion changed drastically, and she began to keep checking her surroundings. Only then did she realize that there seemed to be some problems with her grammar, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions towards you, what I mean is, I actually We have found strong players, it seems that we can also form a team together, so we are the fourth team registered."
The doubts in Pei Jiao's heart became even worse, he didn't ask any questions, but just stared straight at this western beauty, wanting to hear what her explanation was.
Seeing the doubts on Pei Jiao's face, the western beauty immediately smiled and said: "This is not a good place to talk, why not go to my house... Uh, the house where I was alive, my parents and younger brother are still alive, go to When I get there, I will explain everything in front of you carefully, hehe, to be honest, all this is really unbelievable. I was stunned for more than a week when I heard it, and then I was convinced that what they said was true..." While speaking, The western beauty took Pei Jiao's hand as if she was familiar with it, and then flew towards a certain place in the city.
The former home of this western beauty was a residence for middle-class white-collar workers in the United States. It was a small villa-style single-family house with three floors and a small garden lawn outside the building. It looked like a very beautiful place. Wen Xin's ordinary residential house.
The Western beauty dragged Pei Jiao to the outside of the building, and she smiled and said, "By the way, we haven't introduced each other yet. My name is Jenny Bilas. How about you?"
Pei Jiao has been thinking about all kinds of doubts in his heart, and after hearing the words, he just said casually: "My name is Pei Jiao, Chinese."
Jenny was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly and said, "Okay, do you still remember that I said wrongly about your nationality? Don't be so petty? A man should have a wider heart." After she finished speaking, she hurried to the room. Floating away, they pulled Pei Jiao together and penetrated the wall of the house. Then, two middle-aged couples and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old American youth sat at the table and talked to each other. It was strange that the table was clearly It was already full of food, but they didn't intend to move their chopsticks at all, as if they were waiting for someone there.
As soon as Jenny saw the three of them, she immediately let go of Pei Jiao's hand, and then saw a slight flash of light on her body, and the slightly illusory soul immediately became real. Not to mention, what shocked Pei Jiao even more was that the three of them stood up in surprise. Obviously they had already seen Jenny, but they didn't come to touch her, but stood there watching with concern. she.
The young man immediately said: "Sister, why did you come back so late? Didn't you say it was just a small collective task? Just now there was a big explosion on TV, saying that the oil storage depot exploded due to an accident, and we have been worried about it." And you."
Jenny looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "I've been delayed by something on the road. The goals of this mission are really troublesome. They are all intermediate-level demons, but fortunately, there are several people on our side who have equipment. Finally, we can get them out." It’s settled, by the way, this time I brought back a friend, you can eat by yourself, I have something to say to this friend.”
The middle-aged couple and the American young man immediately looked behind Jenny, which is where Pei Jiao was standing. Of course, they couldn't see anything, but to Pei Jiao's surprise, the three of them actually They all showed expressions of surprise, and the young man even said directly: "Sister, could it be that he is equipped?"
Jenny shook her head with a smile and said, "It's not for the time being... well, I still have something to talk to him about. You can eat by yourself." The illusory feeling of the three-dimensional image, and she took Pei Jiao's hand again, and floated up to the second floor.
"Okay, this is my previous room, but now I can talk with confidence."
Jenny pulled Pei Jiao into a tidy and feminine room, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then said directly: "I know you must have a lot of doubts in your heart, don't worry, as long as I know, I will help you Let me explain, when I just died, I also had such doubts and incomprehensions... But the pay and the gain are directly proportional, I will tell you all this in detail, and I hope you can give some rewards."
Pei Jiao nodded and said: "Indeed, since I have resolved my doubts, I should pay you as well. Is this a contract?"
This is the most basic concept of the capitalist society. If you pay, you will be rewarded. This is the most basic spirit of contract. In developed countries in Europe and the United States, this kind of thinking is implemented by almost all people, and even some underworlds have this kind of thinking. Come to think of it, they even hired lawyers to take care of their estates and all that, and that's what Jenny said.
Jenny smiled slightly and said, "I know you Asians... no, it should be you Chinese who are the most obvious and the most disdainful to clarify your interests in such a naked way, but what's wrong with making it clear like this? Do you insist on fighting because of entanglement of interests? How about a lawsuit? Of course, we don’t have any lawsuits to talk about now. My request is very simple. I will tell you everything I know. I only hope that after you know all this, you can help me get a weapon. Even the most basic weapons are fine, that's my request."
Pei Jiao really wanted to ask her what equipment is. As far as he knows, the soul body cannot touch everything in this world, so how can we use equipment? Besides, if the equipment is so easy to obtain, don't these soul bodies know how to go directly to the military's armory? In that case, he had all the equipment, so his doubts were added, so he looked at Jenny more urgently, hoping that Jenny would solve his doubts immediately.
"First of all, we are already dead. Needless to say, we are souls, a special life form composed of spirit and energy, but we have memories and consciousness of previous lives, not like those novels or movies. It is just a group of hazy monsters as described in the book, we are just special human beings, this is the most contacted, and the next step is the explanation I got from the government... "
In fact, the first discovery of the existence of the soul body was in the 1980s, when the U.S. military launched the space war program. In order to develop a qualified missile system, it focused its attention on electromagnetic research and attempted to use Gaussian theory. In that way, the missile was accelerated by Gauss electromagnetically to form a new concept missile, but this research failed, and the by-product of this research was the discovery of the existence of the soul.
Since then, the United States has kept this research secret, and declared to the outside world that the space war plan has failed, and until the end of the 20th century, because of some foreign agents, this research was also leaked, and since then Most of the developed countries and major countries in the world have started research in this field.
Various countries that have done research in this field have found that any person will produce a soul after death, and the soul seems to have the consciousness and memory of his life, not an ignorant ghost or something, but what makes each country strange is that these soul bodies Once they die, they will be entangled in a layer of black matter, so that they can't move at all, and what shocked these countries even more is that these souls entangled in black matter will be sucked into the air every day at midnight In the space crack that appeared, there was no trace of it anymore.
With the current level of human science and technology, they can't find the location and whereabouts of the space crack, and they don't even know what the black matter outside the soul is, so the research once fell into a dead end, and some scientists even believed in religion. He insisted that the rift space leads to the hell in religion and is the final destination of all souls, but this research has fallen into a dead end, and new variables did not appear until 2003 of this century.
That is, there are a very small number of soul bodies that have broken free from the black breath, and for those soul bodies that have broken free from the black breath, their soul strength is far stronger than other soul bodies, and they will not be absorbed by the cracked space. Still staying in the space of the earth, relying on these soul bodies has made the research a big step forward, that is, the strength of the soul is related to the amount of personal information it contains.
The amount of personal information, in layman's terms, refers to how strong the willpower is. The stronger the will, the more the soul has the desire to survive, the greater the possibility of breaking free from the black aura. Not only that, the scientists A clue was also found, that is, the strength of the soul body is also related to the strength of electromagnetic fluctuations on the entire earth.
In ancient times, there were no artificial electromagnetic fluctuations on the entire earth, only natural electromagnetic fluctuations existed, and even human brain waves belonged to some kind of weak electromagnetic fluctuations. With the development of human technology, various All kinds of electrical appliances have been invented, and more and more electromagnetic fluctuations have appeared on the entire earth. These electromagnetic fluctuations have mixed with the brain waves of the human body to form a resonance that humans cannot discover and understand with current technology. A soul is born.
"According to the government, there was no soul body in ancient times. Even if there was a soul body, it was the result of many brain waves resonating together. Uh, to put it in a popular way, it means that belief exists."
Jenny kept explaining all this to Pei Jiao, but it all sounded too illusory, and she couldn't explain it very clearly, so she could only make a metaphor and said: "For example, on the ancient battlefield, the will of many people With a high degree of concentration, all they have left is the instinctive desire to kill, so that the brainwaves of both sides of the battlefield are completely consistent. It can also be said that so many people have the same belief, so on the land behind the battlefield, often The legend of ghosts or something refers to such a thing, I wonder if you have played the game of Dungeons and Dragons rules?"
Pei Jiao nodded while thinking: "I've played, does Neverwinter Night count?"
Jenny immediately nodded and said: "Of course, forget it. In the rules of Dungeons and Dragons, the explanation for gods is somewhat similar to this electromagnetic wave theory. In the rules of Dungeons and Dragons, how do gods gain faith? First of all, it must Let its believers believe in its existence, pray to it, and truly believe in it. This is actually a kind of brain wave resonance, which reaches the will of thought, thus forming a material-god. Of course, this is just a This is a metaphor, and the research of these scientists shows that with the improvement of modern science and technology, the electromagnetic waves on the entire earth have gradually reached a certain critical value, so it would take many people to believe together before it could come true, but now You just need to believe in yourself, for example, believe in the existence of soul bodies, so as time goes forward, human technology advances more and more, electromagnetic waves are getting closer to the critical value, and the soul bodies produced by people who die at this time will be more powerful , and more and more people will break free from the black aura on their own."
Pei Jiao pondered silently for a long time before he nodded and said: "I think I understand what you mean. In fact, this theory sounds incredible, but it is still easy to understand. I don't know if you know the soul of the human body. composition."
Jenny said strangely: "The composition of the human soul? What is that?"
Pei Jiao looked at her and said: "The soul is composed of two parts, one is its own obsession, and the other is the standard energy, that is, those light particles, which are composed of these two parts, and its own obsession is probably The product of the resonance between the human brain wave and the earth's electromagnetic wave is to believe in one's own existence. The more one believes, the stronger one's soul will be, and those light particles are energy, which is controlled and combined by one's own obsession. To form a soul body... This theory may be true, otherwise why do ancient legends always say that only those with great resentment can form resentful spirits that people can see? It is estimated that it is the soul, and there are extremely Great resentment refers to the extremely strong personal brain waves, with very strong thoughts and wills, which form the soul body, and until the development of modern technology, because electromagnetic waves have partially replaced the functions of brain waves, so the requirements of the soul are formed. It’s down, as long as an individual can form a soul, that’s all.”
Jenny immediately clapped her hands and said: "That's right, that's the case, those scientists also explained it in this way. According to them, as the electromagnetic wave gets closer to the critical point, in addition to the easier formation of human souls, even those in human imagination Ghosts and ghosts will also appear. For example, our collective action today is that hundreds of people attack the group of demons that appeared in the capital together. There were a total of 14 demons, and we killed more than 20 people. God knows how many people died in that block, and there are pedestrians killed by demons along the way... oh." At this point, Jenny sighed sadly, but she didn't speak for a long time.
Pei Jiao nodded silently, but he remembered what happened in the underworld. At that time, there were indeed a lot of souls, which made the space channel bigger and lasted longer, and made him return from the underworld to this yang world. Maybe so Many people died because of this accident.
"In other words, the ten units of standard energy body given to me before is the reward for this collective action? No wonder those white people disdain me so much, but they thought I was pretending to be dead... This is funny, the soul body is still Is there a saying of pretending to be dead? If you encounter those monsters, they don’t care whether they are dead or not, as long as they kill and devour them.” Pei Jiao thought to himself, and then he asked Jenny: “Thank you for telling me this Everything has indeed solved my many confusions, by the way, what method did you use before, so that living people can see you?"
Jenny laughed and said: "It's a very simple technique, you may discover it by yourself after a while, you just need to concentrate, as if the whole body is burning slowly, not only can ordinary people see us, but even Can pick up lighter matter."
Pei Jiao was taken aback when he heard the words, he was an expert in the soul, in those days in the underworld, he studied himself every day in order to save his life, after hearing the words, he immediately entered into a state of tranquility, just a little trance, his body immediately There was a ray of light, which was not only more obvious than Jenny's before, but also his image was more real, as if he was an ordinary person sitting there, and he could see it clearly with the naked eye. He did a much better job than Jenny.
"It turns out that it is burning the standard energy body in the body. Based on the burning time, about one-tenth of the standard energy body is consumed for 24 hours of burning, which is not too much consumption." Pei Jiao He nodded, and then the burning state was lifted, and it wasn't until he looked at Jenny that he realized that Jenny was looking at him like a ghost again.
Jenny smiled embarrassedly and said: "Don't be surprised, I have seen so many soul bodies, and it is the first time I have seen a soul body that breaks free from sins by itself. It is said that people who break free from sins by themselves, their soul bodies We are much stronger, and our will is firm, almost unshakable. I didn't believe it at first, but seeing that you are doing better than me so quickly, I really believe it now... It seems that my desire to get equipment is very short. It will be realized soon.”
Pei Jiao also smiled back at her, and then asked: "Speaking of which, I don't know what equipment is. How do you want me to help you? Tell me."
Jenny quickly put away her smile, and she said seriously: "The so-called equipment is the weapons or armor props that people believe to exist. As I said before? As the critical point of electromagnetic waves is getting closer, apart from the soul becoming more and more The easier it is to form, the more it will form ghosts that people think exist, and even those props or places that people think exist will appear. Uh, to make a metaphor, most of us in the West believe in God, and we will believe in the Holy Grail. The Ark of the Ten Commandments, and even the crown of thorns worn by Jesus when he died, etc., are all vaguely believed in our hearts. With the continuous accumulation of electromagnetic waves on the earth, things we believe more and more will appear, and these legends In fact, people in the UK believe in the sword in the stone, and as the critical point gets closer, maybe the sword in the stone will also appear."
Pei Jiao was moved and said: "You mean, these props and weapons are also composed of will like our soul body? So how powerful is it?"
Jenny said seriously: "It's very big. In fact, we are souls now, and we can't use human weapons and props at all. So how should we face those more and more ghosts? There are only two ways. One is for a self-defeating person like you to fuse these ghosts with great perseverance and will to suppress and dissolve their evil thoughts, and the other is to attack ghosts with those weapons and props and completely decompose them into energy. That is, those dots of light. This is what I call weapons. They are actually very rare. I have only seen two or three of them so far. They are all owned by some very strong people. One of the strongest is The weapon called the saber can store 500 points of energy, and its power is exaggerated. In this mission, the man killed three ghosts by himself, and even accidentally destroyed a small building. There are only more than two hundred points of energy stored in the saber, by the way, we call these weapons that can only be used by the soul natural weapons."
Pei Jiao suddenly heard about the weapons that could fight against those monsters. He hurriedly inquired carefully about everything about this so-called weapon. He had an intuition that this information was very, very important to him.
As Jenny said, the so-called natural weapons, armor, and props are all created by human beliefs, such as they believe in the existence of the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Ten Commandments, and the Crown of Thorns. As the electromagnetic wave gets closer to the critical point, then these legendary props are likely to appear, and some local legends, such as the sword in the stone in the British legend, Gunnir in the Nordic mythology, and the golden cudgel in the Chinese mythology, etc. These may also appear, but according to the strength of its legendary power, it will be more difficult to believe its existence and realize it. At this stage, it is impossible to appear. As the critical point of electromagnetic waves is getting closer, The more likely it will appear.
Apart from these legendary weapons, armors, and props, some ordinary weapons, such as the saber, do not require many people to believe that as long as they have existed, they may appear. .
These natural weapons, armor, props and so on are not powerful from the beginning, they exist because of people's consciousness. In other words, they are actually just a kind of obsession, just like Pei Jiao's own obsession. It's just that Pei Jiao's own obsession is obtained by believing in himself, and it only has a capacity of more than 100, while these natural weapons, armors, props and so on are obtained by many people's belief, so they Their obsession is much greater, but in the beginning there was only obsession, which is equivalent to having a mold, and then filling the standard energy body continuously, so that their power will become more and more powerful. huge.
And every natural weapon, armor, and prop has a fixed capacity. For example, the most powerful saber has a standard energy body capacity of 500 points, which means it can be filled with 500 points of standard energy body, and then Just like the soul has reached saturation, its power has reached its limit, and the more powerful the weapon, armor, and prop, the greater its capacity.
"... My request is very simple. Since you are a self-defeating person, you will not be afraid of those ghosts or anything, then you can help me find the most common natural weapon in fantasy, even if it has only one capacity Dozens of weapons are fine too." Jenny looked at Pei Jiao hopefully, and said pitifully with her eyes wide open.
"Fantasy place? What's that place?" Pei Jiao asked curiously again when he heard some unknown words.
"Since even legendary weapons and props can appear, what about legendary locations? When people believe that certain locations once existed, these locations will appear on the earth. Now the government has registered all seven or eight places in the world. Locations, such as Castlevania in Eastern Europe, by the way, and the North-South battlefield in our country is one of them. This is a fantasy land during the Civil War. It is full of ghosts and zombies with natural weapons, and the saber is from Something in the hands of a leader in this fantasy land, and according to the government, as the critical point gets closer and closer, more and more terrifying fantasy lands will appear on the earth, and these fantasy lands are likely to contain Those legendary weapons, props, armor and so on, and when they reach the critical point, even ordinary people can see the fantasy land." Jenny had to explain patiently again.
Pei Jiao frowned and said, "I've talked about the critical point for so long, what exactly does that critical point mean, and how long will it take to reach the critical point?"
Jenny exhaled suddenly and said, "The so-called critical point is naturally that the cumulative amount of electromagnetic waves reaches a certain limit, and after reaching this limit, it is said that monsters will materialize in places that many people believe, and even our souls may become real." Realization, not only that, according to the detection of those scientists, the space rift that absorbs the soul in mid-air is becoming more and more obvious. When the electromagnetic wave reaches a critical point, the world in that space rift will overlap with the earth, and maybe it will be sucked into it The souls of the souls will also return, and the specific time is about December 21, 2012, when the accumulation limit of electromagnetic waves is reached, that is, the critical point of electromagnetic waves... "
"What? The world in the space rift will overlap with this world?!"
Pei Jiao jumped up in shock. In an instant, the terrifying world in his memory, the giant wolf, the giant bird, the giant-faced tentacle monster, and even the endless abyss looking down from the horizontal space... everything Everything was in front of Pei Jiao's eyes, and at this moment, the deepest nightmare in his mind came again...
.
