Chapter 383: Desolate Remnant
Yu Cang returned to his room.
The King-I, in hiding, took off Yu Cang's coat and hung it on the hanger. The Weeping Girl also manipulated the little doll to pour Yu Cang a cup of hot water.
Yu Cang sat down on the chair and glanced over.
"Weeping Girl," he began, "You seem to be in a state of depression ever since you came to the Institution."
"Nothing." The doll looked calm. "It's just that I stayed here for a long time before, so I feel a little emotional when I come back again."
"Shall I take you to meet the researcher who was previously in charge of you?"
Yu Cang knew that the researcher who was previously in charge of the Weeping Girl project was quite nice to her. Apart from maintaining the necessary vigilance and protective measures against banned cards, he treated her like a daughter.
"No need." The Weeping Girl shook her head. "They saved me before, and they also killed me. There is no relationship between me and them anymore. Now I am just the Master's Weeping Girl."
"That's fine." Yu Cang didn't force it.
Looking at the little doll in front of him, Yu Cang fell into thought.
After learning the basic principles of banned cards, Yu Cang could already understand why Cheng Mingye and the others were so wary of banned cards.
Banned cards can give birth to consciousness, but that is just a nice way of saying it. Due to the existence of pseudo-personality disorder, the so-called "consciousness" in banned cards is actually more like a program. No matter how kind their character is, when a certain switch is triggered, they will instantly become machines that control multiple lives.
In principle, this seems inevitable.
But... putting aside the special situation of Qi'er, the weeping girl in front of him didn't seem to have shown such a pseudo-personality disorder.
Is there anything special about the Weeping Girl?
Is it because of the entry recorder?
It doesn't seem like it. After all, according to the information, the Weeping Girl's emotions were very stable when Yu Cang didn't summon her. The Reception Bureau decided to destroy her because the card banner who created the Weeping Girl activated the "self-destruct" ability before he died and it could not be stopped.
It seems that the Weeping Girl also has some secrets.
Could that be the key to making the banned card harmless?
Yu Cang stretched out his hand, and the soul card "Forbidden Engine·Ku Ruo Ascension" appeared in his hand. He looked at the words "Race: Unconscious/Unconscious Body" on it and fell into deep thought.
When he got the entry [Race: Consciousness] from the Weeping Girl, he guessed that this race might have a certain connection with the banned cards, but he didn't have many experimental samples at the time and couldn't conduct in-depth research.
The characteristics of this race of consciousness are too similar to the characteristics of banned cards, including the later Ancient Frost Sky Will and the Princess Spirit State of the Distant Starry Sky, which to a certain extent verified Yu Cang's conjecture.
Now that I'm at the treatment center, maybe this will be an opportunity.
Yu Cang rubbed his hands.
Looks like there are a lot of banned cards that are about to be dealt with? Then let him "redress" them!
These are all ready-made materials.
At this time.
Ran Zhi's call suddenly came from the chaos, and Yu Cang was slightly stunned.
Then, he summoned two half-dragon headhunters, stacked them up, and summoned Ranzhi.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Yu Cang asked.
"Greetings, respected scholar!" Ran Zhi placed a hand on his chest and knelt on one knee. "Thank you very much for your trust in me, for allowing me to participate in such an important battle right after joining your army!"
Yu Cang: "...Uh, so you just came to thank me?"
"Words alone cannot express my gratitude. I will demonstrate it with my actions when serving you in the future!" Ranzhi's eyes were filled with excitement.
As expected, fighting in the real world is the most refreshing!
Although he just came out for a formality, the feeling of using his abilities in the real world... If there weren't so many people watching him just now, he probably wouldn't be able to control his senses.
Of course, he didn't come out this time just to act crazy.
"Well, respected scholar," Ran Zhi raised his head and seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying, "Excuse me...are you satisfied with the lines I said during the battle just now?"
Yu Cang: “……?”
Lines… oh, lines.
He was wondering at the time why Ranzhi only appeared on the stage for a few seconds, but from the momentum of his lines, it seemed as if he was his final trump card.
Things like "coming in response to the imperial edict" and "everyone obey my orders" sound quite plausible.
Seeing Yu Cang's strange expression, Ran Zhi shrank his neck, and then asked tentatively: "Um...are you not satisfied?"
"First of all, I have no desire to recite lines during a fight." Yu Cang's face was as calm as ice. "Secondly, I respect your desire to recite lines."
"But don't you think it's very handsome?" Ran Zhi seemed a little anxious. "I just joined your team this time and haven't had time to think of the lines for various scenarios, so it may look a little thin, but please believe me, give me some time, I will definitely surprise you in the next battle!"
Yu Cang: ...
The new guy seems to be particularly persistent in this strange place.
Never mind, it doesn't affect anything anyway, just let him recite it casually, at least to add a little momentum.
"Whatever you want." Yu Cang said nothing. "Miss me if you want... well, try not to be too awkward."
"Please rest assured!"
"Anything else?"
"No, I just came to talk to you about this."
"……Thanks for your hard work."
"It's not hard!" Ran Zhi chuckled. "By the way, do you need me to find some souls? The secret technique in my body seems to be unaffected, and the Imaginary Palace hasn't discovered my desertion... With the help of the palace, perhaps I can find you some better quality souls."
“How good is it?”
"At least, not particularly crazy."
Yu Cang thought for a moment, "You should be on a 'mission' right now. Wouldn't it be discovered if you were to use the power of the palace to do these unnecessary things at this time?"
"Don't worry about that. Seeking out some souls for friendly communication is a normal pastime for some souls. After all, Chaos is too boring. This is all normal."
"That's fine." Yu Cang nodded. "It doesn't need too much. I don't need too much material for the time being."
"good!"
After giving Ran Zhi a few more instructions, Yu Cang let him return to the chaos.
"The new guy is a middle school boy." Yu Cang sighed.
A middle school boy who's hundreds of thousands of years old... that's fine too.
…
Ancient Capital University, Ice City
Sixty-two sentient beasts floated above the ice city, filling the nearby starry sky.
The princess's spirit body was standing on the top of the tallest building in Ice City, looking a little tired.
At this moment, a burst of starlight suddenly emerged beside the princess. After it solidified, a figure appeared in the same place.
tread--
Yu Cang's rhythmic body fell to the ground.
"What happened?" Yu Cang asked.
"...Yu Cang, you're here." The princess seemed stunned for a moment before she said, "The surgery on the first consciousness beast has been completed. It can be said that the situation is simpler than I imagined... Look, that's it."
Yu Cang looked up in the direction the princess pointed, and saw a beast as big as a hill lying in the middle of the ice city, its body covering countless buildings.
This beast looks very much like an octopus, but it has far more than eight limbs, and they are all extremely huge. One of its limbs just passed by the building where Yu Cang was standing, and its width was almost as high as the building under his feet.
The legs kept wriggling, and Yu Cang could see the flowing starlight in them.
Now, this beast is shaking constantly and looks to be in great pain - this is obvious, just look at his body now, it is bumpy and full of shocking holes.
But judging from his expression... this pain is probably mixed with a great deal of comfort.
After all, there is no trace of Huang in his body now.
At this time, the princess continued, "Now that Huang has lost that absolute infectiousness, he is no longer difficult to deal with. In addition, my spirit particles have a special attack effect on him, so the operation went very smoothly."
Yu Cang turned to look at the princess, and after noticing the fatigue in her eyes, he couldn't help but say, "You've been working hard lately."
"...Why are you talking about this?" The princess shook her head. "Don't be too happy too soon. Although the operation went smoothly, there are still some problems."
"What?"
The princess's eyes dimmed for a moment. "This operation will take quite a while, but there are too many sentient beasts waiting for surgery, and I'm the only one who can perform the operation. I'm worried that I won't be able to save them all in time..."
Yu Cang was silent for a moment: "...How do you perform this operation? Teach me."
He should be the person with the largest number of spirit particles on Blue Star, except for the princess. I think he should be able to help.
"You can't do it either." The princess shook her head. "At the moment, only the blinding ability in my spirit is suitable for this operation. Your spirit doesn't have any ability, so it can't do it."
"Have you forgotten? I can use your spirit particles."
"...Then you try it first. I don't have high hopes." The princess sighed, "Your control over spirit particles is too weak, and your upper limit is not high. It probably won't work."
"It's okay, let me try first."
"Um."
In front of him, the octopus-shaped beast rested for a while and then calmed down.
After excitedly expressing his gratitude to the princess and Yu Cang, he flew out of the Ice City.
After he left, the second beast flew down from outside impatiently, lay on the ground, and looked at the princess expectantly.
The operation on the first octopus lasted for almost two days. At the beginning, everyone was nervous and unwilling to believe it, but after seeing that the octopus was really healed... all the octopuses became excited!
However, because the princess had determined the order of the surgeries from the outset, they could only squeeze outside of Ice City and dared not act rashly. Those who were ranked later in the order were now beating their chests and stamping their feet, regretting why they hadn't been more proactive two days ago.
On the side, Lin Yunqing's rhythmic body also floated over, bringing a large number of industrial spirit particles.
In the past two days, she has been helping the princess - there is not much that other people can do to help the princess. They can only look after the farm and speed up the production and transportation of spiritual particles when the princess is busy. But even so, Lin Yunqing looks a little tired.
"Look carefully," the princess said. "With your comprehension, you should be able to understand it after just one look."
…
The shape of the second beast... is hard to judge.
It looked like a bunch of strangely shaped bodies twisted together, and it was hard to say what it resembled. If I had to say... maybe a ball of twisted seaweed would be more vivid.
The operation went smoothly, but Yu Cang soon discovered that he really could not help.
It is indeed not difficult. Yu Cang will be able to learn it after reading it once. However, although he can use the princess's blinding spirit particles, his upper limit is not high, and this amount is indeed of no help.
Even the princess had to share some spirit particles with Yu Cang from time to time, which seriously slowed down the progress.
Therefore, the princess decisively kicked Yu Cang out of the "operating room".
"Okay." Yu Cang touched his head.
In fact, his current spiritual level is already very high. According to what the princess said, he estimated that if converted to the Blue Star system, it should have reached the threshold of epic.
But it's still a hindrance.
As for using the entry implantation... Yu Cang was a little hesitant. After all, this was a surgery that required very high precision. He didn't have a strong grasp of the details of the entry implantation. If a hand tremor implanted the entry into the beast and completely changed its body structure, it would be difficult to explain.
Yu Cang, who had nothing to do, had no choice but to accept the fact that he was useless, and secretly decided to increase the intensity of his spiritual practice after returning.
“…It’s almost time.”
Yu Cang came to Ice City through the "Life Star and Consciousness World Passage". Although this soul card can allow Rhythm's body to teleport within the starry sky vision, maintaining the teleportation state requires taking on gradually increasing mental pressure.
At this time, if I use my scholar self to come to the world, I naturally don’t need to bear the mental pressure, but the operation will take place in the Starry Sky Vision Area, so there is nothing I can do.
After such a long time, the mental pressure Yu Cang was under had almost reached its critical point.
It's time to go back.
Seeing that the princess was concentrating on the operation, Yu Cang did not disturb her. He was about to go back directly, but he noticed something to the side out of the corner of his eye.
There, there were piles of countless limbs infected by Huang, in all shapes and sizes, all of which had been cut off by the princess in the past few days.
These limbs were all dark in color, having been temporarily imprisoned here by the princess using spirit particles, but they were still moving constantly, as if they were alive.
"These things..." Yu Cang rubbed his chin, "Can we use them?"
At this time, the mental pressure had reached its peak, the path to the world of consciousness was automatically disconnected, and Yu Cang was kicked back.
…
Treatment Bureau
Yu Cang sat on the chair, looking at the soul card in his hand, and fell into silence.
Uh... no way, is this even possible?
Just now, at the moment when the path to the world of consciousness was cut off, he divided his mind and took out a blank soul card here, implanted [Desolation] + [Connection], and tried to summon those severed limbs.
Yu Cang didn't look at the success rate carefully, but when he took a look, it should be around 0.01.
As a result, the implantation was successful!
Okay, okay, let’s play it this way.
…
