Chapter 579 The Undead's Hearts Are Dirty
Amberxiu was not joking with these two. In order to solve the problem of withered roses, Amberxiu has recently been studying how to solve the negative effects of the undead.
The Withered Rose is the most orthodox type of lich, transforming its hatred and obsession to bind its soul to the life box.
Even though you may make whimpering sounds in your synesthesia dream, you will still be affected by the body of the dead after leaving the dream, and your humanity will continue to be eroded.
Hastings and Harris were transformed by Ambershure. Although Ambershure experimentally stuffed a lot of things into their souls, they were still undead in essence.
As time goes by, they lose their humanity, their thinking ability declines, and they eventually become things that can only drool. This is their inevitable outcome.
Unless Amber finds some "obsession" for them.
But this operation makes no sense because Amber wants to solve the problem fundamentally rather than delay time.
The key to everything is the soul. The souls of the dead are essentially different from those of the living.
After entering Hell, Amber Xiu saw countless souls and collected a lot of information from various places in Hell. By reverse studying the technology of the Hell Engine, Amber Xiu had a deeper understanding of the soul, and then he discovered a problem.
His fictitious soul is not really a dead soul in some ways.
It was only because the bodies of the dead were particularly convenient for stuffing souls into them that Amber created the dead out of habit. But in essence, the artificial souls were different from the dead, just like Melina, who did not show any signs of having her will worn away.
On the contrary, Melina has been a undead since birth and lives in the form of a undead. Her soul is perfectly adapted to this body.
The feelings of living people are nothing but "legendary" things to Melina, and she doesn't have any real feelings.
Just like the creatures that have been living underground, most of them are blind, so they will not have any special feelings about losing their sight, and their thinking will not be affected by the loss of this sense.
It can be said that Amber created a special race, and it is not wrong to call it "natural undead".
The dead are born without experience of the state of "having senses". Without having it, there is no so-called loss. Without this process, there will be no continuous eroding influence on the soul.
Amberxiu now wants to try to transform the old version of the undead, making it infinitely close to the state of natural undead. Perhaps this will completely solve the problem of the withered rose.
We definitely cannot use the withered rose for experiments; a large number of high-level undead with their own will are required.
But this thing is hard to find.
Among Amber's subordinates, only the brothers Hasting and Hares barely passed the test, and there is probably no other one like them in the dark area controlled by the Withered Rose.
It’s not that there are no high-level undead, but the previous operation method of the Withered Rose was to erase their personal will and completely control them. The souls of these undead have long lost most of their self, and there is no point in the experiment.
Come to think of it, Ryan has been killing undead for so many years, how come Amber has rarely encountered any? The members of the Mourning Poets Society are all friends, and he can't use them for experiments. The only one who is willing to do it, Herky Stone, is a vampire.
Amber looked at the two brothers. There were only two experimental subjects, so they had to be careful and not waste them.
As for Erha's suggestion to use Dahei for the experiment first, with such deep brotherly love, Amberxiu also satisfied his idea.
Reaching out towards Hastings body, dozens of wizard hands flew out, grabbed the mecha, and began to dismantle it.
Pieces of parts fell to the ground and were soon torn into pieces by Amber, leaving only the head and the core power reactor.
The head is where the soul resides, and the power reactor is the part that is closely connected to the head. It can be pulled out together with the head and then inserted into another mecha.
Amber held Hastings head and directly extracted his soul.
Holding the ball of light in his hand, countless silk threads flew out from Amber's fingers and sank into Hastings' soul.
The next second, this adventurer who had seen many life and death situations let out a pig-slaughtering howl.
This is the scream of the soul, and any living thing with a soul can sense it.
The Husky was so frightened that it shrank into a ball instantly, and the dangling mercury didn't know whether it should find a crack to crawl into.
Amber was also frightened by Hastings scream and stopped immediately.
Amber Xiu asked: "Is it so painful? I haven't officially started the transformation yet!"
Hastings' soul said weakly, "I am going to die. I really can't stand it for even a second. This is not pain at all. It is simply the most cruel torture in the world!"
Although what this guy said was a bit exaggerated, Amber Xiu could feel that there was something wrong with this transformation plan.
His original idea was to operate the "Ship of Theseus" in the same way, which was to first cut off a part of the soul, and then use a simulated soul to complete it. After Hastings had adapted for a period of time and completely integrated this part of the soul, he would repeat the cutting and replacement operations.
When the simulated soul part accounts for the majority, perhaps Hastings can be freed from the shackles of the undead and his will will no longer be worn away.
Who would have thought that this experiment couldn't go on right from the start.
Amber could feel that Hastings soul was on the verge of breaking at that moment. If he exerted a little more force, he might really collapse completely.
There is no point in conducting the experiment for a soul that has completely collapsed, so Amberxiu can only choose to suspend it.
Amber Xiu said with disdain: "You usually brag about being an experienced adventurer, but you can't even stand this little pain."
Hastings explained weakly, "No matter how experienced an adventurer is, he has never experienced a broken soul. Those who have experienced it are probably dead."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber Xiu said disdainfully: "I have experienced it."
Hastings chose to keep his mouth shut, and the lich master began to use "personal experience" to cover up his own unreasonableness.
Amber took out a large pile of soul coins and gave them to Hastings: "If the transformation doesn't work, just let me eat them. Swallow them and digest them as quickly as possible until you can't hold on any longer. Come back to me after you've digested them."
The "Ship of Theseus" mode is no longer playable, so try diluting it with water and see if swallowing more other souls can have some effect.
These soul coins are counterfeit coins made by Amber, which are theoretically the same as the fake souls.
The undead all have the instinct to devour souls, but some are strong and some are weak. When Hastings saw that he didn't have to be tortured, he decisively chose the second method and swallowed all the soul coins in one gulp.
You swallow it, but it takes some time to digest it.
Amberxiu stuffed Hastings back into the mecha, then turned to look at the Husky that had merged into a ball.
Without even waiting for Erha to speak, Amberxiu took out his soul, and then there was another shrill soul scream.
But this time Amberxiu did not stop, because he found that Erha's soul was much stronger than Dahei's. It did not collapse even after Amberxiu cut off a small piece. Amberxiu immediately used a simulated soul to fill this defect, and then stuffed Erha's soul back into the mercury.
Then he saw ripples appearing in the mercury ball, which were tremors caused by the pain of the soul being torn apart.
"If you want to maintain your sanity as an undead, you must pay a price. You two must report to me at any time."
After Amber finished the experiments with the two brothers, he disappeared into the magic mirror.
Hastings chewed the soul coins, walked to his still trembling brother, and comforted him, "It's okay, just bear with it and it will pass."
Hares's weak voice came, and he said ashamedly: "Brother, aren't you angry that I pushed you out?"
Hastings said gently: "What are you talking about? We are brothers. How do you feel now?"
"It hurts so much, but I can still hold on. Brother, I'm sorry." Harris felt extremely ashamed.
However, the next second he heard Hastings say loudly to the magic mirror: "Master, he's fine! You can cut off one more piece!"
Harris: "Huh?"
Are the hearts of the dead so dirty?! Brother, you have lost your humanity! (End of this chapter)
