Death is the Beginning Chapter 5: : A world unknown to the world
"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 nine-clawed strange bird, and the most terrifying giant-faced monster in his memory all rushed towards him. Coming forward, 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 stretching his feet. It was the white man who kicked him in the face.
Seeing Pei Jiao's agility, these Caucasian men also showed surprise expressions. The Caucasian man who kicked Pei Jiao's face curled his lips, and then said to Pei Jiao in English: " What the **** are you doing in a daze? Do you want us to send 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 They are thieves, according to me, they should all be sent out of the country!" While speaking, these Caucasian men had already left with them, cursing as they walked.
After being kicked awake, Pei Jiao was naturally furious, 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 across from the underworld. Have you returned to the world of life? 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, they will be crippled It is also better than living in that kind of monster group, but before Pei Jiao was excited for a long time, when he subconsciously controlled his mental power and used his mental power to look inside his soul body as before, the result was that the inside of his body The light particles, his own obsession, and the lightning rune 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 back to his senses, those guys just now were also souls , and there is no black breath above the soul, isn't it the same as him?
Thinking about it, Pei Jiao suddenly came back to his senses. He looked around anxiously, and he saw the layout of a modern human city, with all kinds of bright lights and many tall buildings. It was night, but there were still many vehicles and pedestrians on the street. The most important thing was 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 Once again traveled to an 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 clapped on his shoulder. At this time, he suddenly woke up, and he immediately blamed himself. If he was in the underworld and **** just now, he would have been swallowed by those monsters long ago. Even in this world, he can't take it lightly. Will there be any monsters in the future?
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 take it, those people will leave Pull."
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 to pick it up. What, turned around and walked in that direction.
Pei Jiao knew 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. In terms of time, it should be the beginning of December 2009, but who knows whether the time flow of the two worlds is consistent? 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 were at least hundreds of souls around, and they were all souls without black breath. Just like him, in fact, souls and living people It seems that there is still a big difference. Those soul bodies look a little illusory, as if they are three-dimensional images, which always feel a little unreal, and Pei Jiao saw at least hundreds of them without black aura. They are the souls of their bodies, and they are still talking to each other. Obviously, they didn't just become soul bodies today, but they have become soul bodies for a long time, and they 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 reveal his confusion of not knowing anything. There is no black breath, why didn't they enter 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 stretched out Gradually, ten ping-pong sized dots of light appeared on his hand. The man didn't talk too much, and just slapped the dots of light into Pei Jiao's body, and then the man's face was full of tears. Contemptuously waved to Pei Jiao, signaling him to leave by himself.
Pei Jiao was really shocked beyond description. He never expected that the so-called fetching was actually to obtain the standard energy body. That thing is the most important component of the soul, and it was so easy to give other people? 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 is in Washington, the capital of the United States, it is not a long way to go to China. It's a simple matter, it seems that he still needs to go to the airport to check, he should be able to find a flight to China.
"Hey... that Japanese, did you just die?" Just when Pei Jiao was in a state of confusion, suddenly such a voice came from behind him, which made him turn his head immediately in fright. Only then did he see the western beauty who had reminded him floating behind him, and she just happened to look at each other with a smile.
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 Time becomes a soul, I didn’t expect that people actually have a soul after death... By the way, I’m not Japanese, I’m Chinese!”
Only then did the western beauty show a surprised expression. She seemed to have seen something unbelievable, and she almost lost her reserve and opened her mouth wide and said, "Impossible? I just said it casually, but you are really Is it someone who just died? Then you got rid of your sins by your own strength? My God, is there really someone who can get rid of their sins by themselves?"
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 said with a smile: "The sins you are talking about are those black breaths? The black breath lingering around me? Yes, I got rid of the sins myself, but what happened to all of this? Why do we have souls after death, and what about those sins? By the way, before That person gave me 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 finishing speaking, she said Seeing Pei Jiao's complexion changed drastically, and she began to keep checking the surroundings, she realized that there seemed to be some problems with her grammar, so she hurriedly said: "Don't worry, I have no malice towards you, what I mean is Said, I actually found a strong player, it seems that we can 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 don't you go to my house... Uh, the house where I was alive, my parents and brother Oh, I’m still alive, go there, I’ll explain everything in front of you, 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 her, and she flew towards a certain place in the city.
The former home of this western beauty was the residence of middle-class white-collar workers in the United States. It was a small villa-style single-family house with three floors. A very warm and ordinary residential house.
The western beauty dragged Pei Jiao to the outside of the building, and she smiled and said: "By the way, I 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 suddenly laughed dumbly and said, "Okay, do you still remember that I mispronounced your nationality? Don't be so petty, right? A man should have a wider heart." After she finished speaking, she was anxious Floating towards the house in a hurry, 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. Strangely, The table was obviously 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 she saw a slight flash of light on her body, and the slightly illusory soul body immediately became real That's not to say, 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 still and cared. looking at her.
The young man immediately said: "Sister, why did you come back so late? Didn't you say it was just a small group task? Just now there was a big explosion on TV, saying that the oil storage depot exploded due to an accident. I have been worried about you."
Jenny looked at the three of them with a smile and said, "I've been delayed by something on the road. The objectives of this mission are really troublesome. They are all intermediate-level demons, but fortunately, there are several people on our side who have equipment. They were resolved, by the way, I brought back a friend this time, you can eat by yourself, I have something to say to this friend."
The middle-aged couple and the young American immediately looked behind Jenny, which is where Pei Jiao was standing. Of course, they couldn't see anything, but to Pei Jiao's expectation, this The three of them actually showed expressions of surprise, and the young man even said directly: "Sister, could it be that he is equipped with equipment?"
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, so you can eat by yourself." The whole body turned into an illusion like a 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 many doubts in your heart, don't worry, as long as I know I will explain it to you, I also had such doubts and incomprehensions when I just died... But the sacrifice is directly proportional to the harvest, I will tell you all this in detail, and I hope you can pay some rewards."
Pei Jiao nodded and said, "Indeed, since I have resolved my doubts, I should pay you as well. This is a contract, right?"
This is the most basic concept in the capitalist society. If you pay, you will be rewarded. This is the most basic spirit of contract. With that in mind, they even hire lawyers to take care of their estates and all, and that's what Jenny said.
Jenny smiled slightly and said, "I know you Asians... No, you Chinese should be the most obvious, and you are the ones who disdain to clarify your interests in such a naked way, but what's wrong with stating your interests so clearly? Why not? Is it better to file a lawsuit because of the entanglement of interests? Of course, we don’t have any lawsuits to speak of now. My request is very simple. I will tell you everything I know. A weapon, even the most basic weapon, is 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 equipment be used? 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 The descriptions in those novels or movies are just a group of hazy monsters, 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 US military launched the space war program, in order to develop a qualified missile system, it focused its attention on electromagnetic research. According to the Gaussian theory, the missile is accelerated by Gaussian electromagnetics to form a new concept missile, but this research has failed, and the by-product of this research is 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 twentieth century, because of some foreign agents, this research was also leaked Since then, most of the developed countries and major countries in the world have started research in this field.
After research in this field, various countries have found that anyone will produce a soul after death, and the soul seems to have the consciousness and memory of the previous life, not an ignorant ghost or something, but what makes various countries strange is As soon as these soul bodies die, they will be entangled by 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 entangled by the black matter every day at midnight. It was sucked into the space crack that appeared in midair, but there was no trace of it anymore.
With the current level of human 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 has once fallen into a dead end, and some scientists even believe in They insisted that the rift space leads to the **** in the religion and is the final destination of all souls and bodies, but this research fell 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 affected by the crack space. The absorbed ones still stay in the earth space, but relying on these soul bodies makes 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 willpower, the more the soul with the desire to survive, the greater the possibility of breaking free from the black aura. In this way, scientists have also discovered a clue, 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. , 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, forming a resonance that humans cannot discover and understand with current technology. From this comes the soul.
"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, many People's willpower is highly concentrated, and all they have left is the instinctive desire to kill. In this way, 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 , There are often legends of ghosts and so on, which 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 needs its believers to believe in its existence, pray to it, and truly believe in it. This is actually a kind of brain wave resonance, which achieves the ideological will, thus forming the "matter" - gods, of course Well, this is just a metaphor, and the research of these scientists shows that with the improvement of modern technology, the electromagnetic waves on the entire earth have gradually reached a certain critical value, so many people need to believe together before it can become a reality. For the real thing, now you only need to believe it yourself, for example, believe that there is a soul body, so as time goes forward, human technology advances more and more, electromagnetic waves are getting closer to the critical value, the people who died at this time, the souls they produced The stronger the body, the more people will break free from the black aura."
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 very easy to understand. I don't know if you know it. Know the composition of the human soul."
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. Thoughts are estimated to be the product of the resonance between the human brain wave and the earth's electromagnetic wave, that 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, controlled by one's own obsession And combination, to form the soul body... This theory may be true, otherwise, why do ancient legends always say that only those with great resentment can form the resentment that people can see? It is probably the soul , and having great resentment means that the individual's brain waves are extremely strong, 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 for forming a soul have dropped, as long as an individual can form a soul, that's all."
Jenny immediately clapped her hands and said, "That's right, that's right, that's what those scientists explained. According to them, as the electromagnetic waves approach the critical point, apart from the easier formation of human souls, even those human beings Imaginary ghosts and ghosts will also appear. For example, our collective action today is that hundreds of people attacked the group of demons that appeared in the capital together. There were a total of 14 demons, and we killed more than 20 people. An oil storage depot was detonated, and God knows how many people died in that block, and there were also pedestrians who were killed by the demons along the way... Sigh." 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 and hell. At that time, there were indeed a large number of souls, which caused the space channel to become larger and last longer, and only then did he 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 was 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 , Is there still a saying that the soul body pretends 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 You told me all this, it really solved a lot of my confusion, by the way, what method did you use before, so that the living 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 your whole body is burning slowly. Not only can ordinary people see us , and even pick up lighter matter.”
Pei Jiao was taken aback when he heard the words. He is an expert in the soul. During those days in **** and the underworld, he studied himself every day to save his life. Immediately, light appeared on his body. Not only was the light more obvious than Jenny's previous light, but his image was also more real, as if he was an ordinary person sitting there, and he could see it with the naked eye To be clear, he did a much better job than Jenny.
"So that's it, it's the standard energy body in the burning body. Based on the calculation of the burning time, about 1/10 of the standard energy body is consumed for 24 hours of burning, which is not too much consumption. "Pei Jiao nodded, and then lifted the burning state, and it wasn't until he looked at Jenny that he realized that Jenny looked at him like a ghost again.
Jenny smiled embarrassedly and said: "Don't be surprised, I have seen so many soul bodies, and this 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 The soul body is much stronger than us, and the will is firm, almost unshakable. I didn't believe it at first, but seeing that you did better than me so quickly, I really believed it... It seems that I got The wish of the equipment will soon come true."
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. Have I mentioned it before? As the critical point of electromagnetic waves is getting closer, In addition to the soul being formed more and more easily, ghosts and ghosts that people think exist will also be formed, and even those props or places that people think exist will also appear. Uh, let’s use an analogy, most of us in the West believe in God, and we We will believe in the existence of the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Ten Commandments, and even the crown of thorns worn by **** when he died. appear, and these legendary things will appear, 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 Jiaomeng was moved and said: "You mean, these props and weapons are also composed of will like our soul body? So how powerful are they?"
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? Only two There are two methods, one is for someone like you to break free on your own, use great perseverance and will to fuse these ghosts, suppress and melt their evil thoughts, and the other is to attack ghosts with those weapons and props, and completely disintegrate them For energy, that is, those light particles, this is what I call weapons, their number is actually very rare, I have only seen two or three of them so far, and they are all owned by some very strong people, one of them is the most The strongest weapon is the saber, which 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. And that saber has only stored more than two hundred points of energy, 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 the so-called weapons. 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. For example, they believe in the existence of the Holy Grail, the Ark of the Ten Commandments, and the Crown of Thorns. If you get closer to the critical point, then these legendary props are likely to appear. Another example is some local legends, such as the sword in the stone in British legend, Gunnir in Norse mythology, and the golden cudgel in Chinese mythology. What, these may also appear, but according to the strength of its legendary power, it will be more difficult to believe in its existence and realize it, but it is impossible to appear at this stage. The closer it is, the greater the chance of its appearance.
Besides these legendary weapons, armor, props and so on, some ordinary weapons, such as the saber and so on, 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 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, armor, props and so on are obtained by many people’s belief , so their obsession is much greater, but at the beginning there is only obsession, which is equivalent to having a mold, and then filling the standard energy body continuously, so that their power will also be reduced. Getting bigger and bigger.
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 standard energy points. body, and then reached saturation just like the soul, and its power 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 won't be afraid of those ghosts or anything. Then you can help me find the most common natural weapon in fantasy. I'm afraid it's a weapon with a capacity of only a few dozen points." Jenny looked at Pei Jiao with hope, and she said pitifully with her eyes wide open.
"Fantasy land? What is that place?" Pei Jiao asked curiously again when he heard some unknown words.
"Since even legendary weapons and props can appear, what about legendary places? When people believe that certain places once existed, these places will appear on the earth. Now the government has registered all the places in the world Seven or eight locations~IndoMTL.com~For example, the 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 that saber was obtained from a certain leader in this fantasy land, and according to the government, as the critical point is getting closer, more and more terrifying fantasies will appear on the earth, and There are likely to be legendary weapons, props, armors and so on in these fantasy lands, and when the critical point is reached, even ordinary people can see the fantasy lands." Jenny had no choice but to explain patiently.
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 suddenly exhaled: "The so-called critical point is naturally that the accumulation 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 It is possible to materialize, not only that, according to the detection of those scientists, the space crack 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 crack will overlap with the earth, maybe The souls sucked into it will also return, and the specific time will be around 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 crack 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 was in front of Pei Jiao's eyes. At this moment, the deepest nightmare in his mind came again...
