Chapter 124 Immortal
"Same?" Shi Yu frowned for the first time, "How do you put it?"
"Xiaochun was originally just an ordinary person. If he got hurt, he would bleed. If he caught a cold, he would get sick. But we are different. For some reason, we don't bleed when we get hurt, nor do we get sick. We have no sense of pain and no sense of taste. All food is just to fill our stomachs."
"But some time ago, I found that Xiaochun became the same as us."
Mr. Yu was the one who spoke most of the time afterwards. From the moment he talked about the car accident, Mrs. Yu started crying so hard that she couldn't speak. It was obvious that they really loved this child.
As for Xiaochun herself, she was sitting in the bathroom, sweating profusely.
Regarding the fact that her parents spent a lot of money just to buy a spot for fortune-telling, she came with the intention of watching the show.
She even wondered more than once what secrets her parents were hiding from her.
She even wondered if her parents had an illegitimate child outside, but she never imagined that it would be such an outrageous thing.
Xiaochun opened her mouth slightly.
Suddenly she remembered that she and her parents went to eat hot pot together half a month ago.
At that time, she had just been discharged from the hospital and missed the hot pot she used to love so much. Although the doctor advised her to eat a light diet, she couldn't help but ask her parents to go there.
For some reason, the spicy hot pot that she had always loved no longer had the same refreshing feeling that made her pores open when she put it in her mouth. She felt it was tasteless and couldn't eat anymore after only half of the meal.
At that time, she wondered if she had stayed in the hospital for too long, and even her mouth was filled with the taste of disinfectant, so everything she ate tasted bland.
I didn't expect... Is that how it is?
Xiaochun stood up and looked at the face in the mirror, which was completely different from before.
Before, her parents said she had plastic surgery, and she felt quite proud of it. Now this face is indeed more in line with her aesthetic taste, so she doesn’t think it’s strange that she suddenly had plastic surgery.
Won't get hurt?
Really?
The father's voice was still going on in the live broadcast, but Xiaochun no longer had the heart to look at the content on the screen. He was staring at an eyebrow razor in the bathroom.
"Ms. Shi, I've seen your livestreams before, and I know you're a truly capable person. You're well-informed and will definitely understand why we're doing this."
Shi Yu hummed.
Of course she knows.
Eternal life is a very painful thing. Even if they still live in the mortal world and seem to have no shortage of relatives and friends around them, they can only watch the people around them grow old, die, and move away one by one.
But I can't do anything except live.
Such torture would drive anyone crazy.
Some people may find it strange. Don’t gods live for a long time? Why don’t they want to die?
But in fact, these two things are fundamentally different.
The immortality of gods is something they have cultivated themselves. No matter whether they are human or demon, if they want to achieve the right result, they must first go through a long and arduous practice.
Only if you can endure the loneliness can you experience the rest of the story.
As for those who couldn't survive, they have long been eliminated in the long river of history.
But people like Mr. and Mrs. Yu are the kind that cannot survive. They are forced to live forever without any screening. After so many years, it is remarkable that they are only looking for ways to kill themselves today.
"I know you don't want Xiaochun to go through the same pain you've experienced in the long future. You want to use her as an experiment and give her the right to end her life at any time."
"But... I'm sorry." Shi Yu sighed helplessly, "I can't help it."
"Your existence is also part of the laws of heaven and earth. Even the most powerful people cannot go against life. Have you heard of water bears?"
Mr. Yu nodded with a grim expression. They had tried many methods, and for them, Shi Yu was their last hope.
"Under normal circumstances, although water bears have a long lifespan, they will eventually die. However, in special environments, water bears will enter a state of dehydration and suspended animation, which is the so-called cryptobiotic state."
"You." Shi Yu looked at the couple. "Or rather, you, your kind, are similar to the cryptobiotic state of tardigrades. In other words, even suspended animation is still death. You are already dead. How can a dead person die again?"
Although they are in a state of death, the natural laws of birth, aging, sickness and death no longer exist in their world. However, because it is a suspended death, they still need to eat and drink water to maintain their vital signs.
This so-called state of immortality is of course different from the cryptobiotic state of tardigrades. Shigure simply explained it in the most understandable way.
Even if they don't eat or drink water, it will be useless. They will endure hunger consciously. If they enter that state, it will be even more unbearable.
"Is there really no other solution?"
Mrs. Yu's eyes were already red from crying. The soul is eternal, but for Mr. Yu and the others, their bodies are their souls. Shi Yu shook his head.
At this moment, a loud noise reached Shi Yu's ears through the connection, and her face changed instantly. "Oh no, go check on Xiaochun!"
Mr. Yu was the first to react, and soon after, his almost collapsed shouts were heard.
"Xiaochun! Xiaochun, wake up! Xiaochun, don't scare daddy..."
Mrs. Yu also stumbled after him, and took her cell phone with her at Shi Yu's instruction. In the picture, Xiaochun was lying on the ground with a pale face in front of the bathroom mirror.
There was a coin-sized hole on her arm that went through the skin at both ends.
What was strange was that not a drop of blood flowed out of the hole, and the pale muscles inside were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Most of the audience in the live broadcast room were frightened by the scene. Compared with the blood, this picture did not seem to be scary, but it could make people feel a chill and tremble from the depths of their souls.
Mrs. Yu was on the verge of collapse, her hands and feet limp against the bathroom door. "How could this happen... Mom and Dad just wanted to save you."
"Miss Shi, please save Xiaochun! You must have a way!"
Shi Yu frowned deeply, "Don't worry, go open the door, I'll ask someone to check it out."
When Shi Yu said this, Yuan Ye had already automatically accepted the order, turned around and walked out the door. When Mrs. Yu propped herself up and opened the door, he appeared at the door of Yu's house.
"Sister Shi, the situation is not good. Her soul and body are merging at a rapid speed."
"You mean, she hasn't completely become immortal yet?"
