Because there were outsiders around, Xu Shenxing only spoke vaguely.
In fact, soul loss is one of the few difficult diseases that Xu Shenxing encountered in another world.
The body of the patient will lose the adhesion to the soul, causing the soul to go to strange places accidentally, and the body without the soul is just an empty shell. If it is placed on the earth, it will be regarded as a vegetable. normal…
Not to mention Xu Shenxing, who is a spell idiot, when it comes to things like the soul, even a great sage who is proficient in this area has no clue what to do about it.
The only patient who survived was seen by Xu Shenxing when his soul left, and he grabbed it back and stuffed it back into the other person's body.
If you want to talk about the difference between soul-lost patients and vegetative people, that is, the former are just empty shells, while the latter still have souls in their bodies, although the souls of most vegetative people are relatively weak due to various reasons.
After going to visit the younger sister of the deceased, Xu Shenxing also reconfirmed Jasmine's information.
The deceased's sister was indeed not an ordinary vegetative, but a patient with a loss of soul. And there isn't even a ground-bound spirit nearby, let alone the girl's soul that just left her body, even if Xu Shenxing wants to revive her soul (physically) again, she can't do it...
"If we say that this girl is also a victim of the game of death, then maybe we've been in the wrong place..."
After confirming all this, Xu Shenxing corrected his expression, and said to the others: "Because the previous victims have all died, it is natural for us to think that the souls of those dead have returned to the root...but in fact it is not. So. I'm afraid this game... the curse itself is not meant to kill people, but to take the souls of the chosen ones! The dead have no souls, so I didn't think of that in the first place."
"Soul or something... I always feel that things are getting more and more exaggerated."
Still not able to get used to the darkness in the world, Chu Nuanxia showed a look of collapsed three views.
"If possible, just investigate here." Xiao Zhengyi said suddenly, and said to Chu Nuanxia: "As Director Chu's daughter, I can understand that you are full of obligations, but if you continue, maybe you will be wronged. If you cause harm, leave this kind of matter to our adults. This matter has nothing to do with you in the first place, so it is better not to be involved in strange things because of this."
"Ah, although it's a bit embarrassing to say it now, but unfortunately, I have already been involved."
The girl replied with a wry smile: "I'm not the kind of person with a strong sense of responsibility. The reason why I'm doing my best to investigate is only for myself."
"yourself?"
Xiao Zhengyi seemed to have laughed at something, showing an expression of disbelief.
"Because I've also played the game of death."
the girl replied.
Hearing what she said, the old Taoist couldn't hold back anymore, and asked the girl, "Could it be that you are also a member of the Black Pigeon League?"
"That's right, I'm [a dog with a nuclear bomb], and if you ask this question, it means you are too, right?"
The girl got excited too.
"It's the same thing, I'm [Undead の Pit Tree]!" The old man also became excited: "I didn't expect that there are cute girls in our union!"
Jasmine watched all this in silence, then the cat came to Xu Shenxing's side and tugged at his trousers.
"Landlord, I'm hungry."
So Xu Shenxing made a decision immediately - finish the meal first and then talk about other things.
…
After the meal, a group of people continued to discuss how to completely solve the curse of the game of death.
"Speaking of which, what is that game like? Can you play it for me?"
Xu Shenxing asked Chu Nuanxia.
"Uh, although I did bring the USB flash drive with the game over, I can no longer open the game inside."
Chu Nuanxia fumbled in her small backpack, took out the USB flash drive sent to her by the president, and handed it to Xu Shenxing.
So Xu Shenxing and his group started to move towards the nearby internet cafe.
When Xu Shenxing opened the game, the screen was no longer the endless darkness and the tragic record of death time.
Instead, just like the girl playing for the first time, the real game screen appeared.
Stopping at the initial interface of the game, Xu Shenxing did not start the game in a hurry, but turned his head and asked Xiao Zhengyi who was looking at the phone: "What do you think?"
"That's right," Xiao Zhengyi compared the picture on the computer screen with the picture on his mobile phone, nodded and said, "This is the game demo made by the female college student who died unexpectedly."
Although he had guessed for a long time, Xu Shenxing still showed a complacent expression of "it really is".
Even as a spell idiot, he can see that there are already many traces of black magic in the game's start screen, such as the magic circle on the background picture, a few weird black spots on the protagonist's body, and the magic-like magic circle. The title of the article... No, it's actually more like witchcraft than black magic.
But Xu Shenxing didn't know what witchcraft in this world looked like, so he couldn't just talk nonsense.
"That is to say, is the black hand behind the scenes the female college student who died a long time ago?" Xiao Zhengyi couldn't help sighing after hearing this: "It's incredible..."
"It's unbelievable. The effect of the curse is to take away the soul. It seems that the female college student has become a special kind of undead, and she needs to devour her soul to barely survive." The old Taoist sneered: "But it's nothing more than that. He's just a guy who lives by the soul."
Although the strength is very weak, the experience of the old Taoist priest is not bad. As long as you don't go beyond the outline, almost most of the questions can be answered by him, which can barely be regarded as a degraded version of Xingyan Ameng: If there are too many, it will be caused by the memory and emotion mixed in the soul, which will cause the brain to be confused and unable to distinguish, and finally become a monster."
Do undead have brains
Xu Shenxing slandered in his heart.
"Having said so much, how should we face the curse?"
Chu Nuanxia asked again, it seemed that she was really worried.
"If there are two people under the curse, and the first one is not so easy to be accidentally killed, then after several failed attempts, will the curse always insist on killing the first person, or will it simply skip the first person? To find the second person?"
Xu Shenxing asked.
The old Taoist priest and Chu Nuanxia looked at each other, they hadn't thought about this question.
"Probably keep trying to kill the first one?"
After a while, Chu Nuanxia tried to guess.
"I think it might jump over, no, it should be said that the old man hopes it can jump over..."
The old man also said weakly: "But I have attacked the old man twice just now, but there has been no movement until now, which makes the old man feel uneasy."
"Anyway, just give it a try."
So Xu Shenxing simply opened the game, and a villain appeared on it, and the game started like this.
But Lao Xu didn't do anything, and directly manipulated his character to jump into the river at the edge of the random map generated by the game and committed suicide...
Then the game screen gradually disappeared, and a line of white words appeared on the screen.
Time of death: 1 minute 32 seconds.
"What are you doing?"
Chu Nuanxia was taken aback by his big move.
"Try to see the performance of the curse." Xu Shenxing glanced at the black mist wrapped around his body, and pulled out the USB flash drive in a leisurely manner: "I'll save this for you first."
The next thing to do is simple.
Under the surveillance of everyone, Xu Shenxing and the old man were experimenting with the effect of the curse in a place with fewer people.
Soon the conclusion came out.
Similar to Xu Shenxing's guess, this curse is a wraith-type curse after all, and it has some wisdom in itself, so after two consecutive attacks were blown up by Xu Shenxing, it seems to have calmed down or feared Xu Shenxing.
Therefore, although Xu Shenxing walked in the alley on his stomach, nothing happened.
On the contrary, the old Taoist, once he is a little far away from the crowd, he will soon encounter some accidents—for example, the matches in the garbage bin on the side of the road spontaneously ignited, the wires suddenly broke and dropped from above with sparks, and they were throwing firecrackers into the sewer the bear kid...
It seems that as long as the old Taoist priest is not dead according to the order, the next cursed person will be fine.
In order to confirm this, Chu Nuanxia made a special trip to log into the game account in the Internet cafe, and asked the few people who were still staying in the guild about the situation. It turned out that the current situation was similar to their guess, and the death time was longer than that of the old Taoist priest. No one has been killed so far.
It's just that although a breakthrough has been found in an unexpected place, this cannot completely solve the problem.
The curse of death has been hanging over the heads of those who have played the game (excluding Xu Shenxing) like the sword of Damocles, which makes people feel uneasy.
"In any case, it can barely be considered that we have taken the initiative now."
Xu Shenxing was quite optimistic: "There are two things to do now. The first is to protect this guy (he patted the old Taoist on the shoulder) from being killed by the curse; the other is to recover and destroy the rest of the USB drives."
Having said that, he looked at Xiao Zhengyi: "Can the auxiliary department entrusted to you by the latter do it?"
"I've already talked to the Bureau about this, and the above replied that it will take some time, but I still admire their work efficiency, so don't worry."
Xiao Zhengyi replied proudly.
"That's good. In this way, the curse can be prevented from spreading. After that, every time the curse strikes, it will consume its own power. If you do it a few more times, I believe it will be weakened to a limit. At that time, I want to defeat it There is no difficulty."
"Obviously you already know the enemy's true identity, old Xu, can't you kill him directly?"
Listening to Xu Shenxing's orders, Xiao Zhengyi was unaccustomed to it—usually, Xu Shenxing's tactics were basically like this: Jasmine and I confront them from the front, and you just call 666 from behind...
"Because I can't find the enemy's body, the wraith-type curse attack is too weak. In addition, the curse has no entity, so it is even more fragile. Every time, it almost dissipates before I can find the causal line."
Xu Shenxing looked sad.
"In terms of karma, why don't you go to that female college student's house to find some relics left by her? There should be karma from the other party on those things, right?"
Although he didn't know what the causal line Xu Shenxing was talking about, Xiao Zhengyi immediately put forward his opinion in a very doggy manner.
When Xu Shenxing heard it, he felt that it made sense.
Although there is always a feeling of assassination (physical) in doing so, it is not unacceptable to use some extraordinary measures in order to solve this matter as soon as possible.
"But in this case, Jasmine and I have to leave here. Can you guarantee that during this period of time you can protect that old guy so that he won't be killed by the curse?"
So Xu Shenxing asked Xiao Zhengyi.
For Xu Shenxing, this curse is indeed weak, but for ordinary people, this curse is quite deadly.
After Xiao Zhengyi joined the Super Management Office, he has indeed grown very fast. With Yuan Rongjian's relationship, self-protection should not be a problem, but to protect the old Taoist priest, I am afraid that he will be a little powerless.
"It doesn't matter, I may not be enough alone, but I can still call rescuers!" Xiao Zhengyi took out his mobile phone, and then dialed several numbers stored in it one after another...
After about half an hour.
Ding Yang, who half-stepped into the threshold of practitioners, escorted Chen Tuwa, who wanted to escape, to here.
"Oh, master, you are here!"
Seeing Xu Shenxing who hadn't left yet, Ding Yang couldn't help being surprised, but at the same time approached with a shy face, probably trying to see if he could get something from Xu Shenxing, the "grandfather" like the protagonist of the novel good stuff.
God is sorry, now Xu Shenxing has almost nothing on his body except for the fifty cents in his pocket...
So after a few vague and perfunctory words, he took Jasmine with his arms and ran away in embarrassment.
…
According to the address that Xiao Zhengyi got from the auxiliary department, Xu Shenxing was careful not to be discovered by ordinary people in the end, while parkouring like a Spiderman on the top of the building to the destination.
The family of the female college student who developed the game was not very good, and after her death, her family plummeted even more. Her mother also came to her senses. Although she almost lost her family fortune, she finally got out of the cult. Now I can only live in a small room and wash my face with tears all day long.
It was probably the time when the other party was working, and there was no one in the room.
Xu Shenxing decided to sneak in quietly.
So he smashed open the wall with his forehead, walked in with Jasmine swaggeringly, and asked the little girl to repair the wall through alchemy.
"Oh, I should take it easy..." After Jasmine finished repairing the wall, he slapped his forehead, a little annoyed: "I have to smash it again when I go out later..."
In any case, I finally sneaked in.
It can be seen that the female college student's mother is still very sad about her daughter's death. There are not many daily necessities in the small room, but the female college student's relics fill half of the room...
Just when Xu Shenxing was about to find something to cast spells (physics), he found a small notebook with a password lock.
Gently pinching the combination lock, Xu Shenxing opened the notebook and found that it was a diary.
Then he quickly flipped through it.
After doing all this, Xu Shenxing let out a long breath.
"Damn, I made a mistake..."
