Death is the Beginning

Chapter 7: The identity of the breakaway...higher?

Views:

In the early morning of the second day, Pei Jiao and Jenny and his daughter got into the car together, and started to head towards the legendary fantasy land of the North-South battlefield. In fact, the soul can pass through any material in the mortal world, including the ground. They can also pass through, but in the same way, the soul can also "attach" to the material and move forward with the material, such as Pei Jiao and Jenny, who are sitting in the back seat of this car, and this kind of Attachment is an instinctive attachment, just like ordinary people sitting there, as long as there is no thought of penetrating the vehicle, then the soul will naturally sit in the vehicle.

According to Jenny, the fantasy land of the North-South battlefield is not far away. It was at the first Battle of Manassas during the Civil War, that is, in Virginia, which is not far from Washington. If you take the expressway by car, you can get there in less than ten hours.

"There are usually five to ten free soul guards outside the fantasy land. After all, government scientists have always been worried about various situations in the fantasy land. The ordinary monsters in the fantasy land are not too scary for the soul body. After all Most mind control and illusions are ineffective for us, but they are the greatest terror for living people, and even more than 80% of people will be scared to death, so there is a country with fantasy land, their Soul organizations have year-round garrison missions, usually for a period of one month, and the rewards are slightly richer than patrol missions.” Along the way, Jenny gave Pei Jiao a detailed introduction to the various situations of the fantasy land. In addition, the situation of the soul organization was introduced.

The soul organization of each country is naturally different, but in general they are still the same, and one thing is also in line with Pei Jiao's current guess, that is, each country is indeed very worried about the critical point of electromagnetic waves, except for those with Maya. In addition to the fact that a family of doomsday prophecies are at the same time, the number of ghosts and demons continues to increase. In addition, as time goes by, more and more ghosts and demons can be realized. Even the most pessimistic scientists predict that, When the electromagnetic wave reaches the critical point, those fantasy lands will materialize, and it is these fantasy lands that will destroy the existing human civilization.

Perhaps Pei Jiao is the only person in the whole world who knows... Those imaginary lands are not the ones that will really destroy human beings. For the underworld and hell hidden in the darkness, even the most terrifying fantasy lands are just a piece of cake. They really destroy human beings The world will be the hell of the underworld!

But even if the fantasy land is scary enough, if it really materializes, it will definitely become a human catastrophe, and there will be more and more ghosts and demons, all of which will make the heads of governments ache, so, freedom The soul becomes the main force deliberately cultivated by the governments of various countries to fight against the monsters... Of course, those who broke free are the main force of the main force.

Pei Jiao roughly estimated the strength comparison between himself and the breakaways. If he only used the power of lightning, then his strength would be equivalent to that of a breakaway who had been dead for one to two years, because the strength of the breakaway would increase by itself, As time goes by, the longer the dead, the stronger the breakaway will be. Unless Pei Jiao desperately uses lightning to burn, his strength will be about the same as that of an ordinary breakaway who has been dead for a year or two.

However, Pei Jiao still has his own advantages, that is, ordinary people who die. If they do not have natural weapons, then their means of dealing with ghosts and demons can only be fused with their own obsession to destroy those ghosts and demons. The depletion of one's own obsession is extremely serious, and one will not resort to this last resort in a leisurely manner, which is usually to burn the standard energy in the body, and then use the power of the body to deal with these ghosts and demons.

In fact, Pei Jiao also learned from Jenny that most of the battles between souls are to burn the standard energy in the body to form strength and speed to fight with people. Of course, those who have natural weapons can be excluded , this is a special case, not to mention for the time being, the real battle between the soul and the body, the speed and amount of standard energy burned in the body, this determines the strength and speed that an individual can use, and those who break free because of their own obsession. Strong, so the speed at which they burn the standard energy in their bodies is extremely fast. In comparison, even a breakaway who has only been dead for a year or two can easily deal with more than a dozen ordinary free souls, and the breakaway can also continuously strengthen themselves Obsession, this is the reason why those who break free are treated by the soul organizations of various countries.

Pei Jiao kept thinking about this information in his heart, and he also had some plans for the situation after returning to China. According to what Jenny said, every country's soul organization will establish a base in its capital, and this organization will issue employment tasks. Collective missions, or the location of fantasy land missions, and even some powerful free soul teams can also auction off the natural weapons they get from fantasy lands in exchange for a large amount of standard energy or other natural weapons, Pei Jiao He thinks that in terms of his strength, it is very easy to pretend to be an ordinary escaper, and then he can naturally free his parents and sister from worldly troubles, all of which are not difficult.

"By the way, just now you said that some teams will use natural weapons to exchange a large amount of standard energy... Those standard energy can be obtained by hunting ghosts and demons, or by hunting ordinary monsters in the fantasy land, but the amount of standard energy absorbed by a person Isn't there a limit? Once exceeded, these standard energies will escape from the body, and finally disappear into the void for no reason, so these people can absorb a large amount of standard energy at once?" Pei Jiao thought about it, and suddenly remembered A question, suddenly asked curiously, and I thought of the abnormal behavior of those two people when they received the ten standard energy in Washington.

Jenny suddenly laughed and said: "This is the reason for the formation of those teams. Think about it, breakaways can often complete tasks and hunt ordinary monsters in fantasy alone, so why should they give these benefits to others?" What about sharing? Because many souls are also somewhat different. When a person dies and the person who is freed becomes a free soul, then after the baptism of time, after about four to five years, these souls will generally have some supernatural powers, such as being able to see Go to unknown hidden fantasy places, such as the formation of a subspace in the body, which can hold a large amount of matter and standard energy, and some free souls will have fighting power no less than that of the breakaway, although according to some breakaways, for As far as these abilities are concerned, all breakaways can be simulated, but a person's energy is limited after all. You can fight and observe, but you can't even cover the logistics? That's why there is a free soul team. The composition is often based on a breakaway person, and then absorbs many souls with special abilities, so as to fight against various tasks and various environments... ".

(… runes?)

Pei Jiao's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of the lightning rune in his body. This lightning rune gave him the power of lightning. Maybe those soul bodies that have lived for about five years will naturally form these runes in their bodies. This is also the ability, maybe this is the compensation for their own obsessions that cannot grow on their own, only the souls that have lived for four or five years can get special abilities...

(It seems that the team is indeed a good thing, such as the person who can see the standard energy in my body, such as the person who can store a large amount of standard energy, these are excellent abilities, if I also have such abilities, at the beginning That nine-clawed human-faced bird won’t be wasted in vain, those standard energies are in the tens of thousands, and I can only absorb one or two hundred at most... It’s a pity, it’s a pity.)

When Jenny said this, she suddenly seemed to think of something and said: "By the way, it is said that when a very small number of people who have escaped live for more than five years, a special ability will also appear. It is said that they can feel a large piece of blood. The number of people who died in the area, and people with special abilities can be found among these dead souls, and then they will come to these souls to help them, just like what the Goddess of War did in the legendary Norse mythology Get rid of sins, and these souls with supernatural powers will fight for them, just like the heroic spirits in Norse mythology... "

Pei Jiao's heart skipped a beat again. Originally, he was still thinking about finding some souls who had lived for four or five years to form a team, but these souls had probably been pulled into the team by those senior breakaways, and the rest of his time There are only three years, and it is impossible to wait for new supernatural souls to appear, and now according to Jenny, it seems that very few souls are born with supernatural abilities... This feeling is good, although he does not know that kind of large-scale souls. How to observe how the ability is produced and used, but since there is such a possibility, maybe he can also think of some ways to find it...

"But it's still too early to say these things. The purpose of this trip is to first see what is a fantasy land, and it is best to get some natural weapons... No matter what kind of society, even if it has become a soul, But human beings are human beings after all, where there are human beings, there will be battles, and strength is definitely the basis for protecting oneself... "

Pei Jiao muttered to himself, he closed his eyes and meditated intently, grasping every minute to enhance his strength, and at the same time quietly feeling the obsession and standard energy in his body, his four months in hell , I discovered this technique a long time ago, that is, the more familiar I am with my own obsession and standard energy, the more freely I can control the energy in my body.

Pei Jiao entered into a state of silence, and Jenny also looked preoccupied. Obviously, she was not sure that Pei Jiao had entered the fantasy land alone. For a while, the whole car fell silent, only the car was driving rapidly. whistling.

I don't know how long it has passed. Pei Jiao, who was meditating, was pushed awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw Jenny smiling. At this moment, the car had already driven into the parking garage. At the same time, two ordinary people, a man and a woman, and a male spirit are walking towards the saloon.

"Hey, Jenny, are you here to wait for the line too?" The male soul looked about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, wearing a straight suit, and his hair was combed smoothly. Laptop, wearing glasses, like a successful person who speaks fluent English, his eyes lit up when he saw Jenny, and he immediately floated to the side of the car, and then his left hand shone slightly, and he opened the door of the car easily open.

Jenny smiled politely at the man, and then said to Pei Jiao: "This is the permanent captain of the garrison on the northern and southern battlefields, Mies Li, Mies Li, this is my friend Jiao Pei."

Pei Jiao immediately smiled dumbly, and he stretched out his hand to Miss Li and said, "It's better to call me Pei Jiao directly, or Jiao Jiao, if you change it to your name grammar, it will sound like mating to us Chinese, Hello, it's my first time to come to this fantasy land, do you know if there are any taboos or rules?"

Mies Li was very polite. He shook Pei Jiao's hand with a smile, and then said: "Is this the first time you enter the fantasy land? It doesn't matter. Except for those who broke free, according to recent newspaper analysis, more than 80% of free souls are I have never entered the fantasy land, don't think I have been stationed outside this fantasy land for a long time, but I have never been in it, come on, let's go to the studio to talk, since you plan to enter the fantasy land, there are still some things that must be done Completed."

"Newspaper?" Pei Jiao looked at Jenny strangely. Now he felt more and more that the world after death was very strange, even newspapers appeared.

Jenny immediately whispered in his ear: "It is a newspaper published every week by various national soul organizations, basically for free souls and government personnel of soul organizations. Some ghost task lists from various places, as well as the various research results of the scientists on the soul, or the progress of fantasy exploration, experience in using natural weapons and so on. "

Pei Jiao nodded, and followed Mies Li calmly, and the two ordinary people who followed Mies Li, they both wore a special kind of red glasses, and they also wore a kind of red glasses on their ears. Instruments like hearing aids. He heard Jenny mention these props yesterday. They are things invented by scientists to allow ordinary people to see the soul and speak to the soul. Obviously, these two ordinary people are also working here personnel.

After getting Mies Li's confirmation, those two ordinary people immediately took out a record for Jenny's father to sign. According to Jenny, there are luxurious residences built outside each fantasy land, because those free souls They were all human beings at one time, and they were used to living in a room and sleeping in a bed. It is impossible for the government to ask them to stay in the wilderness? Besides, besides the free souls, there are dozens of various types of staff members in this luxury residence. They are all staff members within the soul organization. Yes, for example, how many people have entered the fantasy land in what month and what day, what are their achievements in it, there are no dead people, what is the harvest, all these must be recorded in detail under the supervision of the government, and the work of these staff is in this way. .

And as Jenny's living relative, her father can also get a free room in this luxury house, and various enjoyments. As long as Jenny is here for a day, then her father can be here One day, this is one of the perks of a free soul.

"It's really humane." Pei Jiao sighed, and then he asked: "Aren't they afraid? After all, we are creatures like ghosts in legends?"

On the contrary, Jenny gave him a weird look and said, "Afraid? Why are you afraid? The so-called fear actually comes from the unknown. Our existence has long been explained clearly by science. In fact, we are just the next step in life. What is there to be afraid of? In fact, those staff members are very funny and kind. After all, they also hope that we will free them from their sins after death. Speaking of which, the government is also the one that most advocates freeing the staff of the soul organization from their sins. After all, first of all, they are familiar with the work of soul organizations, and second, they also have more knowledge about souls than ordinary souls. These are some advantages. For example, in the soul organizations in our country, more than 40% of the free souls are organizations The former internal staff, and the two breakaways are also former internal staff of the organization."

Pei Jiao sighed very much. It seems that Europeans and Americans are still so realistic. They always like to think about problems and analyze things in a scientific way. After the analysis based on science, they even take the existence of the soul for granted. up.

In fact, when he first died, he thought that the afterlife world would be like the ones in those legends, such as bull-headed horse noodles, hell oil pots, etc. Afterwards, he felt that if the souls of the yang world were continuously added to hell, then it would be the same. Should there be social progress and scientific progress? But who knew that the result would be like this, a society of souls was formed in the Yangshi. Although it is still in the early formation stage of this society, the total number of free souls in the whole world is only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, but directly Inheriting the civilization process of modern society, and even being directly connected with the government of the living, it seems like this... The world after death does not seem to change much. Of course, the premise is that you must get rid of the black breath, no matter what Whether it is called sin or cause and effect, if it is dragged into the hell of the underworld... At that time, it will really be in hell!

Pei Jiao and Jenny followed Ms. Li all the way, and after a while, they walked directly into the interior of the mansion from the garage, but to Pei Jiao's surprise, the interior of the mansion was not blindly decorated with luxury. It looks like a magnificent palace. In fact, the first floor of this mansion is like those office buildings. It is also a similar place where Pei Jiao used to work. Go to work in the company every day.

Miss Li saw that Pei Jiao's eyes were a little straight, he smiled lightly and said: "Mr. Pei Jiao hasn't been to the base yet? Those who have been to the base will not be too surprised by the situation here, ha ha, although we really It is already dead, but it has only become a soul body. It is still a human race, but it has only become a spirit body. Therefore, we also strive to work in the same place as before. In this way, our work efficiency will also be high. There are quite a few, but we can’t really live in tombs or cellars like in those movies or religions? I don’t think anyone would want to live there.”

Jenny also smiled and said: "The first and second floors are offices, and the third to seventh floors are residential floors. Pei Jiao, you can also choose a room of your favorite type."

Pei Jiao smiled awkwardly, and then he said: "No need, I still plan to enter the fantasy land soon, Mister Li, what procedures do we need to go through?"

Mies Li then looked at Jenny in surprise and said, "No? Just the two of you entering the fantasy land? Jenny, this is not a joke. The government has stepped down two months ago. New regulations, any Free spirit body teams with less than one hundred people have no right to enter the fantasy land. This is a performance of responsibility to you. Unless there is a team led by a breakaway person, no one may enter the fantasy land with one or two people. Not even those with natural weapons!"

Jenny smiled awkwardly, and she immediately looked at Pei Jiao, until Pei Jiao nodded slightly, then she said to Miss Li: "My friend is a breakaway, in fact, he is a breakaway who just died , and not two people entered the fantasy land, but he entered the fantasy land alone, I just brought him here."

Miss Li immediately looked at Pei Jiao in shock. He opened his mouth wide, without the slightest restraint he had always had before. After an unknown period of time, he asked cautiously: "You, are you a breakaway? But the world You are not listed on the breakaway registration... Sorry, it’s not that I doubt you, but we are in this line of work. We are familiar with the data and everyone. I remember all the one hundred and forty-two people clearly, but You aren't in there."

Pei Jiao smiled awkwardly and said: "I also want to say sorry, I died more than four months ago, my ancestral home is Shanghai, and my Chinese name is Pei Jiao, when I died, there was no How long did it take to get rid of cause and effect, oh, you call it sin, and we call it cause and effect, but after breaking free, I didn’t know how to deal with it. I remembered our Chinese mythology and religion, and I was afraid of those legendary bull-headed horse-faced people who would come to arrest me. I am the god of death in your mythology, so I took a plane to the United States and fled here, and then wandered around for several months, until I learned everything after death from Jenny yesterday, so I have never registered in any country."

This explanation is what Pei Jiao said after careful consideration. In fact, he can't explain why he arrived in the United States more than four months after his death, but it is enough to push everything on fear and religion. It is believable, although some people may doubt it, but for a person who has never known the world after death and finds that he has become a soul after his death, then any situation is possible, so this statement It's just right. .

Mies Li and Jenny both nodded suddenly, and Mies Li became even more excited. He rubbed his hands and said while rubbing: "If you plan to register immediately, then you still need to do some tests... Of course, I don't doubt you, but for those who break free, any country will provide huge benefits to those who break free, and even in the country you serve, they will give you a natural weapon with a capacity of about 100 for free, so each country is very good for those who break free It has been verified extremely strictly, which can be seen from the fact that there are only 142 breakaways in the world, and there is absolutely no possibility of ordinary free souls sneaking, raping, playing tricks... Of course, I am not doubting you." This The young man's speech was a little out of tune, obviously he was very excited.

Pei Jiao, who has been out of society, naturally knows that such a sudden appearance of a breakaway must be a force for every country, and even if Pei Jiao does not stay in the United States, as the person who registered for him, You can definitely get a large reward, no matter which government gives the reward, but you can't lose him in the end.

Pei Jiao nodded and said: "Of course, there is nothing wrong with the test, but can you tell me what the test is? I don't want to be checked over and over again, like some experimental product... And you mentioned registration, what is it?" What do you mean? Could it be that after I register here, I can only stay in the United States in the future?"

Mies Li quickly said: "The test is very simple, just touch a small trace of sin to you, if you are a breakaway, then without the help of natural weapons, you can easily dissolve this sin without being Sin is bound, and then dragged into the rift space, this is the test... and you will not be forced to stay in the United States, but since you are registered in the United States, when the American soul organization has a crisis above B level, you are obliged Rescue our organization, of course, since you have the obligation, you also have enough rights, such as free entry to two fantasy lands in our country, for example, when the natural weapons auction is held inside our base, you will not be drawn 5% Income tax etc...”

(…the dead have income taxes? How weird… )

After hearing the content of the test, Pei Jiao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he has the lightning rune in his body, so he is afraid of being detected by others. After listening to the obligations and rights, he has decided to register here After all, it is not a bad thing to have an American identity. If there is any conflict in China in the future, this identity may be a life-saving talisman.

"Okay, let's test it then."

Following Pei Jiao's promise, Ms. Li was almost jumping up for joy. Soon, the news spread that a new breakaway was going to be tested here. In just a few minutes, the freedom in the entire mansion Soul and the staff all gathered together, looking at Pei Jiao with envy and flattery, even when Pei Jiao entered the underground test room of the mansion, the phones in the mansion were all ringing non-stop. Everyone has received the news, and now they have called to inquire about what happened. Obviously, Pei Jiao did not expect the government to be so excited. In fact, there are only 142 escapees in the whole world. Converted to more than a dozen countries with soul organizations, each country only has about ten breakaways. Even with the national strength and high welfare of the United States as an attraction, there are only twenty-one breakaways. Even if there is one more breakaway, this is of great significance to the country.

The entire underground of the mansion is a huge testing room. Because the mansion is close to the fantasy land, most of the breakaways or large groups who come out of the fantasy land will try their natural weapons here, and some scientists often He came here to study the monsters in the fantasy ground, so the whole basement looks similar to a research room, and Pei Jiao is standing in a glass room of more than 20 square meters at the moment, and in front of him is a black glass room made of special metal. big box.

The entire room is constantly monitored by more than 20 camera equipment, which will completely monitor Pei Jiao's testing process and preserve it as evidence that he is a breakaway. It will even be stored in the archives of the breakaway from the governments of various countries for preservation. If Pei Jiao If Jiao is a breakaway, then there will be one hundred and forty-three breakaways in the whole world, so this information is extremely important.

A voice came out from the playback device and said: "Mr. Pei Jiao, I want to confirm for the last time whether you are really a breakaway, you must know that this sin is the most poisonous poison for our free souls, once you are trapped by it , either the breakaway will help you break free, or you will consume precious natural weapons to cut off the sin, otherwise you will enter that cracked space, even if there is only a trace, it is not something that our ordinary free souls can break free... I want to remind you Yes, the twenty-one breakaways in our country are currently making full progress in the progress of the Golden Kingdom. It is impossible for them to come here, and as free souls not registered in this country, it is impossible for us to consume natural weapons to help you cut off your sins, you Are you sure you want to test again?"

Pei Jiao let out a sigh of relief: "Yes, I confirm that I want to conduct a test."

The voice paused for a moment, and then said: "Then I can only hope for your success... Did you see that box? There is a small trace of sin that we cut out with consumable natural weapons, you open this super-electromagnetic alloy box , the sins inside will float out, and then you just need to dissolve the sins, according to our calculations, this amount of sins will not cause any damage to you, you only need to replenish enough energy afterwards."

Hearing this, Pei Jiao walked towards the so-called super-electromagnetic alloy box, and then he ignited the standard energy in his hands, and his whole hand could touch the physical substance like a living person's hand, and he immediately reached out and opened the alloy box. The box, suddenly, a tiny black aura floated out from the alloy box, and for a while, Pei Jiao could even feel the slightest breath-holding sound coming from the playback device, obviously everyone had already focused on looking at it He, awaiting the results of his tests. .

Pei Jiao was not panicked at all, he had come into contact with a much thicker black breath than this in the underworld, and he hadn't been able to freely control the power of lightning at that time, if he came into contact with the black breath now, it might have a dissolving effect It will definitely not be worse than those who broke free, and it may even be worse.

Thinking of this, Pei Jiao didn't hesitate any longer, and directly reached out his hand to hold the black aura. Suddenly, the dark malice he had experienced invaded his consciousness, and under the attention of ordinary people, that black aura directly Drilling into Pei Jiao's body, the black aura suddenly seemed to be alive, eroding his body along his wrist, gradually, his entire arm was dyed jet black, and a line that seemed to be The thin snake-like black lines are still flowing towards Pei Jiao's wrist.

In fact, Pei Jiao could use the power of lightning to melt the black aura as soon as it entered his body, but he suddenly thought of an important problem. On his body surface? Doesn't this expose his specialness? There is no problem in registering breakaways, or even showing that you are slightly superior to others. After all, there are one hundred and forty-two breakaways, and it is said that there are strong people who have died for nearly ten years among them. It's not that prominent, but it would be pure idiocy to reveal that he has lightning abilities...

Therefore, when the black breath invaded his wrist, Pei Jiao had already concentrated his attention on controlling the power of thunder and lightning, trying to induce the power of thunder and lightning only in his body, instead of showing it on the body surface, such a move is really a delay It took him too much time, until the black breath had invaded the upper end of his arm, he was sure to trigger the power of lightning in his body, then he opened his eyes and looked at the arm carefully, following the power of lightning As expected, the trace of black aura receded like a tide, and not long after, all the black aura had been completely melted into Pei Jiao's arms.

"Phew, it's okay." Pei Jiao sighed happily, and his words and expression were immediately seen by the people watching the test process on the first floor. Those people thought he was sighing for passing the test, In fact, what Pei Jiao lamented was that he finally didn't reveal his secrets, and didn't let the power of thunder and lightning be exposed.

Everyone on the first floor sighed with joy. Of course, there were also a few free souls who looked at Pei Jiao on the screen with envy and jealousy. Besides these people, Ms. Li and a few staff members were also full. With a shocked face, Mies Li said directly: "Is it true that he only died for four months? It only took twenty-six seconds. According to the published formula for calculating the strength of ordinary breakaways, he should need one hour to die." It takes minutes and forty seconds to dissolve this sin... Could it be that he belongs to a high-level breakaway! Oh my god, the ninth high-level breakaway has appeared! The one hundred and forty-third breakaway, he is a high-level breakaway!"

For a moment, all the people on the first floor looked at him dumbfounded, but as the victim himself, Pei Jiao was still in the basement, thanking himself for controlling it properly, not only did not expose the power of lightning, but even suppressed the melting speed Come on, he won't be too noticeable this time, after all, there are 142 breakaways in the world...
