"The artificial underworld, maybe... a large number of humans died at once, plus a special pattern." Vera said.
"We all know that souls will dissipate in the natural environment. So, can we think that if a large number of humans die at one time, the number of souls exceeds the dissipation speed within this range, and coupled with the special pattern of the environment, then the underworld will be formed? .For example, the special architectural composition here in Wellington, such as the pyramids, the Terracotta Warriors and the like, those who were buried, didn't mean that many people died at one time." Vera continued.
It has to be said that Vera is indeed smart and very clear, but this explanation made everyone feel shocked.
A lot of people died!
"Okay, let's not talk about this problem anymore. We can't try it anyway. Mavis, let's talk about purification. Just now you said that Vera and their souls were polluted. What happened?" Bai Yi asked. Bai Yicha changed the topic because if he continued to talk, he always felt as if he was touching some kind of restricted area.
"Purification, that's it!" Mavis began to explain.
"You saw the evil spirits at first, right? When those evil spirits hunted, they looked very violent, and they were always distorted into various fierce and weird shapes. In the beginning, although these evil spirits twisted into those shapes, they were quiet. When the time comes, they will still return to their human form. But later, we found that these evil souls gradually deviated from their original human soul appearance and truly changed into the appearance of monsters. This is filth." Mavis said.
"Not only those evil spirits, but also souls like ours that still retain their own consciousness will also change like this. This kind of change cannot be said to be bad, how can I put it, I think this is just the evolution of a pure spiritual life One of the ways. After losing the restraints of the physical body, when pure spiritual bodies grow, they no longer have to follow the original racial constraints, so they become weird. And those spiritual bodies that become weird do become more powerful. A small part can directly attack reality." Mavis explained.
One of the ways spiritual life evolves! [
A direct attack on reality!
How should I put it? Bai Yi and the others really didn't expect that they would learn so much shocking news here. Although these messages only have a few sentences, they can be regarded as top secret information.
"What about you?"
"Purification and dissolution are the abilities of the Soul Release Tree. You saw it at the beginning. Evil spirits like this place very much, but they dare not get too close to it. The Soul Release Tree can purify the spirit body and allow us to maintain our original lives. form, so I can now appear in front of you in a human form. However, if you cannot control yourself during the purification, then it will not be purified, but will be directly sucked into the Soul Release Tree and directly dissolved." Mei Wei Si said.
"Hold yourselves, why don't we feel anything?" Vera and Heloise asked.
"Because the Soul Release Tree is dead!" Mavis said sadly, then pointed at the dozens of other mayfly spirits around. "Look at them. Wellington used to have hundreds of thousands of various souls, but now only a few dozen of us can control ourselves. The others..." What happened to the others does not need to be elaborated.
"Anna!" Bai Yi saw one of the mayfly spirits.
"Hey, I thought you had forgotten about me, you didn't even say hello." Anna floated over and scolded me.
"No, we are still impressed by you, but we just heard the news and were too immersed in it, so we didn't notice it." Bai Yi quickly apologized with a smile. It was crazy ghost Anna who took them to look for Yu Han.
"Humph, I believe you." Anna said proudly.
"Our purification is not complete, I feel there is still a difference from yours." Vera looked at dozens of mayfly spirits and said.
"Well, that's of course. When we purified, the Soul Release Tree was alive. Now the Soul Release Tree is dead. Although the dissolution ability is gone, the purification ability has also been weakened many times." Anna said, quite a bit. No feeling of unfamiliarity.
"Speaking of which, you should take away the heart of the tree, otherwise it will definitely be taken away by people from the United Nations." Anna floated in the air.
"Tree heart?"[
"It's the heart of the tree. After the soul-releasing tree dies, not all parts have the ability to purify. Only the center piece of the tree's heart remains, which is estimated to be as big as twenty centimeters. By the way, the other soul-releasing trees are the most It’s good to take some with you. Judging from the looks of those people just now, if you don’t take it, there won’t be anything left of the Soul Release Tree in the near future.” Mavis said in detail.
"Of course." Bai Yi nodded.
"Aunt Mavis, where are those spirit-eating butterflies?" Momo couldn't bear to ask this question until she saw that other things were basically covered.
"Psy-eating butterfly!"
"Like other spirits, they were absorbed by the Soul Release Tree. In the end, most of the spirit-eating butterflies became spirits, and those who did not become spirits were all eliminated. When the number of spirits became fewer and fewer, they There is no suitable living environment." Mavis was very sad when talking about this issue.
Whether it is the Soul Release Tree or the Soul-eating Butterfly, they are all special creatures after Wellington became a ghost town. As they become special, they no longer adapt to the normal world.
When Momo heard this, she looked like she wanted to cry but didn't want to. If it were an ordinary child, he would have started crying unreasonably long ago, but Momo was different. She had experienced a lot of separations and knew that simply crying would not solve any problems. Bai Yi couldn't help but sigh when he saw Momo's appearance. Momo had developed such an overly strong character at such a young age, and he didn't know whether it was good or bad.
"Cry if you want to." Bai Yi patted Momo on the shoulder.
"The little butterflies are all dead, dad, the little butterflies are all gone." Momo fell into Bai Yi's arms, grabbed Bai Yi's sleeves, and cried loudly. In fact, Momo is only a little over nine years old now. Many times, Momo is pretending to be strong. Children at this age should cry whenever they want and let adults take care of their worries.
Momo cried very sadly, and the remaining six spirit-eating butterflies on Momo also flew out, flying slowly around Momo. After crying for a while, Momo looked at the six spirit-eating butterflies with sobs. One of them stayed on the tip of Momo's nose and slowly flapped its wings.
Everyone suddenly became quiet. They all knew that Momo could communicate with spirits and animals. Momo must be talking to the spirit-eating butterfly now.
"They said that I have the aura of the spirit-eating butterfly tribe." Momo raised her head and looked at Bai Yi.
"They are sleeping on you. Of course they have the aura of Psylocke butterflies." Woolf interjected from the side. However, Bai Yi and others ignored Woolf's words, but thought carefully about it after a while.
"That fruit just now!" Everyone looked at each other and said at the same time.
"It's probably because of that fruit. After all, it's a fruit that absorbs all the spiritual bodies and grows. There may be some connection. However, you have to explore it yourself. After all, this kind of fruit is too strange. We I don’t know what’s going on.” Bai Yi stroked Momo’s little head and comforted her.
"Did the little butterfly grow inside the fruit? Did I eat it?"
"I just don't know anymore." Bai Yi said with a smile.
At this time, everyone, not just Bai Yi, was curious and looking forward to that weird fruit. What is going on with the fruits that grow in this special environment, and the aura of the tribe that those spiritual-eating butterflies mentioned. The world, after the spread of active cells, seems to be becoming more and more strange and interesting, and of course more and more dangerous.
After Momo also calmed down, Bai Yi and the others began to take out the tree heart according to Mavis' instructions. In addition to the heart of the tree, Bai Yi also took an extra piece of soul-releasing wood about one meter long and one meter wide next to the tree's heart. Such a piece of soul-releasing wood is nothing compared to the entire soul-releasing tree. Bai Yi and the others are not greedy either. Having such a piece of soul-releasing wood is almost enough. It would be inconvenient to carry more.
At this time, Bai Yi asked Momo to call out the other souls, which were the lv2 companions who had died. After a brief explanation, Bai Yi asked them all to go through the heart of the tree and purify it. As for the souls of ordinary human soldiers that Momo collected, they were not treated so well.
After purification, they also changed their living quarters. At first, Bai Yi and the others just randomly broke off a branch of the Soul Release Tree. Now that they have such good conditions, of course they need to replace it.
Malvi made a simple pendant for each person out of soul-releasing wood. Malvi is a craftsman and has good processing and polishing skills. Although each pendant is carved from wood, it is relatively exquisite. Everyone takes it with them seriously. Knowing the function of the soul-releasing wood, it goes without saying that this thing is precious. If they die unexpectedly, their souls can be preserved in the soul-releasing wood. This is also the reason why people from the outside world attach so much importance to Soul Release Wood.
There are two pendants on Momo. One contains Bai Yi and his teammates, as well as the group of companions who entered lv2. Inside a pendant is an ordinary soul.
"Let's go!" Bai Yi held Momo's hand and said.
After hearing Bai Yi's words, a group of people withdrew their gaze and slowly walked out.
Behind Bai Yi and the others was the quiet Wellington. After Bai Yi and the others took away the heart of the tree, it seemed that the last trace of ghost energy gathered in Wellington also disappeared. The soft sunlight shines down from the sky, and the whole of Wellington seems to be filled with a fresh and sunny atmosphere. It is this kind of breath, the breath of the normal human world, an environment that most ordinary people yearn for, but it is a world that cannot stay after death.
