Chapter 13 For Hongji, the current situation was quite novel. He looked around...
For Hōji, the current situation is quite novel.
He looked at the "corpse" next to him, which was almost entirely made of machinery, but its face was quite nice.
This is the first time I've seen myself from this perspective.
Looking down at my feet, I was relieved to find that I had legs.
As if it were innate, he immediately knew that he had to get back into this body within three days, or he might not be able to return.
Three days was enough for him.
This place collects a lot of miscellaneous things, but he quickly analyzed the place.
This place should just be Alan's personal collection space, and it seems that he hasn't told anyone else about his existence yet, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stay in his space peacefully without any problems.
How should we get out of here?
I spent about an hour or two at KFC. The place wasn't very big, but it was definitely a novel experience.
It seems that most people in this place possess some kind of special ability.
He must have been tired from walking around, so Alan took him back to his room: "Let's continue playing tomorrow, let's rest now."
Suddenly, just as Alan was about to leave, Kendji called out to him.
"Did Alan only rescue me?"
He was still smiling, a bright and cheerful smile.
Alan suddenly started acting strangely, "Of course I saved you, and I also captured a prisoner."
He didn't like Hōji very much. He genuinely wanted to save Kendall, but Hōji was just a side effect.
He trained Kendall very strictly, and almost every day Kendall would come back covered in blood, but he managed to keep things in check and prevent him from breaking down.
I have a relaxed and easygoing attitude towards him. I will get whatever he wants to eat or drink, but I won't put in the same effort in training.
It was like treating a guest, and in a cold and distant way, barely saying a word.
So his impression of him was indeed not good, and he followed McDang Cheese around all day, which he thought was simply colluding with him.
"Then why don't you release that prisoner?" Kendall asked without thinking, as he usually did without considering the consequences.
"If we release that person, he probably won't survive!" Alan was gesticulating wildly, describing how terrifying this world was. But because he had turned into a little fox, he wasn't really afraid of it.
However, KFC was very accommodating and made a scared expression.
Only then did Alan retract his claws in satisfaction and begin to explain the rules of this place.
"Everything here is wonderful, except you don't accept outsiders, especially humans. In our place, you can eat and drink whatever you want. Our resources are shared, and no one would object." Like a little fox, she vividly described life here from the beginning. "Moreover, we demons are born with the ability to purify the environment. There's radiation everywhere here, but we have ways to make it disappear."
"Then what about me? Why would they accept me?" Kendall asked, puzzled. "Isn't he human?"
"Because you're not human."
It felt like he was being insulted, but Kenji simply accepted it calmly.
"I saw you during your training. You can transform into a giant wolf. You must be a wolf demon. You were probably captured by that despicable person and experimented on. They even brainwashed you completely, making me think I'm a human, but you're actually a wolf demon!"
Kendall smiled and nodded, as if agreeing with him.
But actually, yes, he can not only turn into a wolf, but also a bear, and a bird. Maybe in the future, when his superpowers become more powerful, he can even turn into a dragon.
"Do you have any memories from before?" Alan asked sincerely.
“No…” Kendall suddenly hesitated, as if their identities would be automatically filled in based on the system, his words, logic, and so on.
Won't this dig a huge hole for him? Like, what if he actually gets some kind of tribesmen involved?
It shouldn't be that bad, right? But he really doesn't have that memory. Rather than making it up, it's better to say that he doesn't have that memory.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Alan's expression became even more certain, and she looked at him with even more sympathy.
Before Alan could speak, Kendji interrupted him, "As far as I know, I actually rescued Huji from that radiated land, and he has no memory of it, so he shouldn't be a bad person. Besides, he doesn't have any memories of what happened before, so what he did wasn't his intention."
Sure enough, after recounting this experience, Alan's hostility towards Hongji visibly decreased.
Why is Kendall suddenly so smart? Because Xūjī has awakened, and the connection between his two identities is much stronger than his current true self.
If you don't have enough brains, use two to make up for it.
"So, where exactly is Hōjī now?"
"It's in my pocket, let me check now."
The little fox pulled open a pocket-shaped piece of fur from the side of its body.
It was amazing because he hadn't seen it clearly before, that he, as a fox, could actually attach two pockets to the fur next to him.
Seeing Kenji's curiosity, Alan kindly explained it to him.
"When I am in human form, it will turn into a pouch or bag beside me, and when I am a fox, it will be a fur pouch. Usually, you can't tell anything about it."
He peeked inside to check, "Huh? What's going on? Why isn't he awake yet?" He breathed a sigh of relief when he realized the man was still breathing. The dosage must have been too high; he hadn't woken up yet.
"He doesn't seem to be awake yet..." Alan said, somewhat troubled.
"It's alright. Since he hasn't woken up, let him stay here. After all, Alan's space is the most powerful and can guarantee Huiji's safety."
Upon hearing this, An'an immediately perked up her tail with joy, wagging it vigorously.
Although KFC said that, he looked to the side and even smiled.
Noticing Kenji's gaze, he also looked over curiously, but saw nothing, so he asked directly.
What are you looking at?
“I’m looking at your flowers, they’re so amazing!” Kendji said with a surprised expression.
"Tch, what's so interesting about these flowers? You can grab a handful of them here."
"What do the flowers here look like?"
"Pretty purple roses."
Yeah?
It was indeed quite beautiful; it was a rose, but he saw it as blue, and it was crawling with poisonous insects.
Thinking this, I have to say, it's quite a magical existence.
The two different perspectives subtly create a sense of distortion.
"Alan, can you open the door? I need some fresh air."
"good."
As soon as the door opened, Hu Ji, in his soul form, quickly went out and was immediately shocked.
As for Kendall, who was acting as a alias, he simply watched him leave.
Although he himself couldn't see anything on his own body, since it was the same person, he could always tell where he was.
As a soul being with relatively undeveloped skills, he couldn't do much besides scouting enemy positions.
However, as a soul, he was naturally able to see more things clearly. For example, he could see that the entire underground world was filled with a kind of energy.
It is an incomplete, inescapable energy. Once this energy discovers a living creature or even a dead one, it will firmly adhere to it until it slowly decays and begins to absorb their energy.
And all the "people" here, if they are not firmly attached to this parasitic thing, their entire souls appear dull and lifeless.
The only source of light was their eyes, but the light emanating from them was not from their souls, but from the insects within their eyes.
There were invisible lines in the air that connected everyone together.
After thinking for a moment, he decided to go and see where the line was connected to and what these things were.
The spiritual energy revival has only been going on for a few decades. Before that, there were no demons. Now there are demons, but no demon has ever said that it wants to cultivate into human form.
Fairies take pride in their true form, so it doesn't mean that humans are superior.
Most fairies have tails and ears, and they look much the same as their original selves, just more irritable and imposing. Most of them are very powerful.
Most people here are weak and incompetent.
More often than not, they are good-looking.
Aside from being good-looking, very few people have any real talent or ability.
It's hard to believe that they can live peacefully in such a world.
But no matter how beautiful their outer shell is, it cannot change the fact that their inner self is already rotten.
They do seem to have demonic blood.
This is why their outer shells are so beautiful, yet their inner souls have not withered away.
However, they also suffer from pain at all times because the two bloodlines cannot be combined at all.
They are human beings.
A deformed human being.
They were labeled as completely ignorant, and their thoughts, souls, and bodies were all controlled.
They think they are living a good life, but in reality they are just living in one square cage after another.
Some of them may know exactly what happened, but they won't say it. It wouldn't matter if they did; once they hear it, their ears will change to another voice, unable to express or speak. This secret will never be discovered.
He passed through layer after layer of obstacles, and through the gaze of these connected eyes, he went all the way up. To his surprise, he had thought that even if these people in the radiation zone were faking digging, they should have dug quite far. But he did not expect that the radiation was still very serious even at just a few hundred meters.
So the reason why there is less radiation around is probably because it was absorbed by those fairies.
He suddenly remembered what Alan had said: that their demon race had a purifying effect.
It has indeed been purified; it was purified with its own life.
