Kiyohime quickly cleared out the monsters near Kagoshima.
When the group was going back, Su Ziyu saw the night patrol group in black suits again. The bald man in the lead was walking towards them from the sea. All of them were adult men. Their expressions were very dull at this moment. They were being escorted forward by seven or eight men in black suits.
"Your Highness Bai Ji." The bald man walked over to Qing Ji with a respectful expression and said, "Thank you for your help many times this time."
Qing Ji nodded slightly when she heard this and asked, "How many casualties are there?"
The bald man took out a small black leather-covered notebook and flipped through it, then looked up and said, "Sixteen people died."
"A girl was murdered in Kagoshima City."
"The others were all seafarers on board the ship. There was no survivor."
"We found eight ghosts."
At this point, he pointed to the ghosts floating over from the sea behind him and said, "These people have been contaminated by the Void."
"It must be sent to reincarnation as soon as possible."
Qing Ji nodded slightly to show her understanding and said, "I understand."
"You go and get busy first."
pollute?
Su Ziyu curiously turned on his psychic vision and looked at the ghosts behind the men in black suits. All of them had died recently. With his psychic vision, he could see a faint black spot on the chest of these adult men. Combined with the blank expressions of these ghosts, he could roughly guess that what was lost was humanity.
Ghosts also have humanity in them.
Generally speaking, the soul consciousness of people who have just died is still very clear, and they will not lose their self-thoughts in a short period of time, but the consciousness of these crew members is now very confused.
This is the result of the loss of humanity.
If ghosts linger in the secular world for too long, they will gradually lose their humanity and turn into evil spirits, vengeful spirits, earthbound spirits, etc. Therefore, the underworld will not let ghosts stay in the world of the living for too long. However, the speed of losing humanity is not very fast. Without some special circumstances, it is possible that the soul will still have residual consciousness after it dissipates.
However, these polluted ghosts are a little different. Su Ziyu can feel that their humanity is being lost quite quickly.
It is in their chest that humanity is drained away.
There is definitely no original fire in the Hundred Ghosts Plane.
Therefore, the hollow in Xu's chest is definitely not related to the Initial Fire. Su Ziyu carefully observed these ghosts and thought to himself: "It's not the Ring of Darkness, but why are their humanity disappearing so quickly?"
"Wait." He suddenly said.
Then Su Ziyu walked directly to one of the ghosts with a dull expression and said in a deep voice: "Let me take a look at their situation."
After saying that, he reached out and touched the chest of one of the ghosts.
In a moment!
Su Ziyu's consciousness came into contact with a strange void world, an empty world surrounded by fog, without any life or material existence. There was no earth under his feet, no sky above his head, and no boundaries could be felt. It was a bit like the source sea encountered during the spiritual power promotion, but it was very different, because here there was only spiritual energy gathered together by chaotic consciousness.
"Where is this place?" Su Ziyu looked around in confusion. The gray mist was the manifestation of spiritual energy, not a physical fog.
Suddenly.
An incomparably huge spiritual entity appeared in his spiritual perception. Its spiritual body was as big as a planet. The moment it moved here, the space-time monitor system automatically responded.
"The spiritual fluctuations of the Ancient Abomination have been detected!..."
"Activate the self-protection mechanism."
"Cut off the spiritual connection!..."
Boom boom boom.
Su Ziyu's spirit seemed to be hit, and he stepped back two steps, his heart beating violently. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, patted his cheek, and said to himself: "Fuck!"
"I almost forgot about the side effects of clairvoyance again!"
That is definitely a ghost thing of evil god level!
The side effects were almost the same as when he had touched the statue of the evil god with his hands before.
The hole in front of Xu's chest is not a ring of darkness, but it is a similar existence, and its effect is also to cause the loss of humanity.
In the Dark Soul plane, although the Dark Ring will cause the loss of humanity, the lost humanity will dissipate, and some enemies will also drop humanity.
But Xu is a little different.
The humanity that flows out of the hole in its chest directly enters that strange space, instead of dissipating in the plane of a hundred ghosts. At the same time, in the process of losing humanity, some chaotic spiritual energy will also flow into their bodies. The hole in the chest is actually a channel connecting to an unknown space, so as long as the ghost becomes hollow, it will immediately possess strength that is not weaker than that of ordinary monsters.
Those chaotic mental energies poured into the Xu's bodies and began to distort their shapes, transforming them into various strange forms.
But those are actually projections of consciousness.
For example, the great virtual being in clown form, may think in the deepest part of his consciousness that he is a clown, a being who is played and laughed at by everyone.
"Husband?"
"What's wrong with you?" Qingji's face changed slightly, and she quickly came over to support Su Ziyu.
"It's okay." Su Ziyu shook his head gently and said, "My spirit sensed something not so good."
“It’s not a big problem.”
That special spatial form is very strange. It is a kind of consciousness space. The ancient abomination perceived by the spiritual should not be able to escape.
The humanity that flowed out of the void entered that space and directly turned into nutrients for the space itself.
"Is there really a world that feeds on human nature?" Su Ziyu murmured.
The Hundred Ghosts Plane is not the source of Xu's birth.
That strange space of consciousness is the reason for the hole in the chest.
"There were originally so many living people in the Dark Soul Plane?"
"Where did all that humanity flow to in the end? The abyss? Where exactly is the abyss? Did humanity disappear completely just because the original fire dimmed?"
Su Ziyu is unable to figure out the problem for the time being.
But he was sure of one thing.
That is, these special monsters have a hole in their chest. Their existence is related to a strange consciousness space located in the lower level. This space itself is eating away human nature.
Alternatively, human nature can be materialized as the seven emotions and six desires in consciousness.
The Dark Soul plane is a completely drained zombie plane that has become unconscious, and these virtual beings seem to be dominated by some kind of emotional obsession as their consciousness, hunting and devouring souls driven by hunger.
“We need to figure out the problem.”
"Unless I can enter the abyss of the Dark Soul plane and take a look!" Su Ziyu murmured.
The Sun King - Gwyn once sent his strongest knights to suppress the abyss, but until now no one knows what the abyss is. All they know is that the existences polluted by the abyss must be eliminated, and they will all go crazy. The mission of the Faran Undead Squad is to suppress the spread of the abyss.
For this, they would not hesitate to massacre the city and destroy the country!
The characteristics of the abyss are contagion, pollution, the explosion of human nature and madness of consciousness, and being suppressed by the power of fire.
Xu is also similar in this respect.
The souls of these killed crew members have the corruption of Hollows. If they are not sent to the underworld, they will become Hollows sooner or later. The signs of the clown-like big Hollow's humanity erupting are obvious, and the chaotic and crazy consciousness can be felt with eyes closed.
The ring of darkness cannot be seen on a living person.
However, if you use your psychic vision to look directly at the zombie's soul, you can see the dark ring on its chest.
The Sun King - Gwyn once used the power of fire to set a seal in order to suppress the undead revealed by the Dark Ring. Those people were basically imprisoned in the Ringed City, but there would be a circle of fire embers on the hole in their chest.
Taoyuan Secret Realm. After dealing with the monsters that escaped, Su Ziyu and Qing Ji returned to their residence.
Xu has appeared in the Hundred Ghosts Plane for hundreds of years, but only ghosts can be contaminated and turned into Xu, there is no problem for living people.
This is completely different from the Dark Souls plane.
Here you don't need the original fire to keep the world running, just be careful about the possibility of ghost corruption.
There will always be evil in any world. Even if there is no void, ghosts wandering in the world of the living can easily become vengeful spirits. Seeing that Qingji and the others seemed to have rich experience in dealing with things, Su Ziyu didn't need to deliberately care about anything.
As long as it is not a source of pollution that affects the plane, it is not the responsibility of the Space-Time Monitor.
"Husband."
"Tea."
Qingji knelt down in front of Su Ziyu, gently poured him a cup of tea, and asked softly, "Where has my husband been all these years?"
"Uh..." Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "I've been to a lot of places."
"I have been in a very hopeless world for a long time."
At this point, Su Ziyu paused and talked a little about the Dark Soul plane.
Half an hour later.
Qing Ji couldn't help but sigh and said, "Such a hopeless world actually exists!..."
"Yes." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "I still don't have any solution."
"The only thing we can do is let the survivors hide in the world in the painting first."
In the room.
Both of them fell into silence.
Suddenly, Qingji raised her head and looked at Su Ziyu in front of her tenderly, and said slowly: "My husband, are you hiding something from me?"
"I see that you look a little uneasy."
Oops.
Is my acting still not up to par?
Su Ziyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. He had deliberately skipped the matter of the wasteland plane before, so he felt a little uneasy. On the surface, he was very careful to control his expression, but he didn't expect Qing Ji's perception was so sharp that she actually noticed this.
"I..." Su Ziyu suddenly stuttered.
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Qing Ji couldn't help but stretched out her fair palm and gently held his hand, whispering: "Husband, if you feel embarrassed, you don't have to say it."
"My husband is going to do great things, so there must be something difficult to say."
After hearing Qingji's words and looking at her gentle face, Su Ziyu suddenly felt guilty and touched.
never mind.
Just die.
Isn't it just a burn? I think I can handle it now!
"I..." Su Ziyu took a deep breath and began to slowly narrate his experience in the wasteland.
Qingji's expression gradually became serious.
The whole room was filled with a depressing atmosphere. Su Ziyu's back was already covered in cold sweat without him noticing, but he still forced himself to finish telling the story.
Time passes by every second.
Su Ziyu looked at Qingji in front of him, waiting for his final judgment.
But what he never expected was that after hearing what he said, Qing Ji did not immediately run away, but tilted her head and hesitated, "My husband, you mean? You didn't expect that you would have a daughter?"
"Yeah." Su Ziyu nodded and said, "It's unexpected."
Qing Ji was silent for a while, then she said softly: "That child is also very pitiful. If you have the chance, husband can go and spend more time with her."
"That's right."
At this point, Qing Ji changed the subject and said in a serious tone, "My husband said that Miss Pasha has undergone advanced bionic transformation."
"So she's a robot now?"
He actually doesn't look angry.
"Not entirely." Su Ziyu hesitated for a moment and explained the details of the bionic transformation.
The Hundred Ghosts Plane has entered the modern era.
Qingji had also been exposed to many things from the outside world and quickly understood the content of bionic transformation.
“It’s not easy for her either.”
Qing Ji sighed and whispered: "In order to survive, I had to transform myself into a bionic man."
The atmosphere in the room suddenly relaxed.
Qing Ji looked at Su Ziyu in front of her with a slightly amused expression, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth as she said, "My husband, you didn't dare to say it in front of me because you were afraid that I would be jealous?"
"Yeah." Su Ziyu nodded honestly.
Qing Ji couldn't help but smile, and said softly: "My heart is not that small."
"Besides, my husband never expected this to happen."
Bionic man?
Isn't that just like a robot?
The smile on Kiyohime's face became gentler. As a great monster who had lived since the Heian period, she could easily accept some of the dregs of ancient feudal society, and Pasha lived in another world. Kiyohime was most concerned about whether the other party would threaten her position. At first, she was a little concerned, but after learning that Pasha had transformed into a android in order to survive, she didn't care so much in her heart, and even had a little sympathy.
She felt that she was not so narrow-minded as to be jealous of a bionic man.
As for other things, she didn't care even more.
Men in the feudal era did much more excessive things than Su Ziyu. He was just venting himself in the face of life and death pressure.
Although there was a small accident.
Are you really not angry?
That means I don’t have to be burned?
Su Ziyu suddenly felt as if he had survived a disaster, and his favorable impression of Qingji increased significantly.
The reason why he was so afraid of Qingji in the beginning was because she would burn people for no reason.
But now Qingji seems to have really changed a lot.
Can you escape this way?
Qingji's mind is really much broader than before.
"Are you tired, my husband?"
After pouring a cup of tea for Su Ziyu, Qing Ji said softly, "There is a very good hot spring in Taoyuan Township."
"As good as."
"After dinner, let's go and relax together."
