Something's wrong with my undead

Chapter 72 The Origin of the Shapeshifter
The scene in front of him was exactly the same as what Heine saw in the "fish pond" in the underground secret room of the Lord's Mansion.

Those silvery fragments of light are the Yuanling that is helping Mr. Sa recover.

But Barry obviously couldn't see that.

At the same time, in Heine's mind, the two of them were desperately calling.

However, Mr. Sa seemed to be asleep and showed no reaction.

Barry walked up to Mr. Sa's soul fire, stared at the silver flame without any impurities, and frowned.

"No...it's still soul essence, and there is no soul connection. Could it be said that the reaction just now was completed under control?
"No, no, no, this is obviously impossible. Excluding the possibility of spirits and heroic souls, there is only one result left...

"The consciousness that controls the soul is hidden in the soul? Do the zombies themselves have consciousness? But how is this possible..."

Soul quality.

The last time I heard this word was after giving Naga the soul-losing water.

At that time, the murderous Yuanlings penetrated into the body of the Master, and his soul manifested into soul essence and was expelled from the body.

In this process, Naga's situation was exactly the same as that of the dying shapeshifters outside.

Silver fragments of light were scattered all over his body, but they had not yet condensed into silver spots.

"What exactly are you studying?" Heine couldn't help but ask.

Barry was still immersed in his world and muttered, as if he hadn't heard Heine at all.

He is working backwards, refining, and dismantling this problem step by step.

So the self-talk gradually returned from terms that Heine didn't understand to the most essential and basic content.

Barry is truly a master, and he makes these things as simple as teaching someone how to hold a spoon and eat.

He seemed to be explaining it to another self who didn't understand anything, or rechecking the calculation process.

Now Heine could understand it.

The essence of summoning the dead is to "rent" wandering souls from the underworld to attach themselves to the body of the deceased.

And the zombies were, as he thought, the carriers of the soul.

Barry's research is how to transfer the souls of living people to "zombies".

This is the most critical step in breaking the cycle of life and death.

The reason why the souls of living people cannot exist independently is because the suction of the underworld and the shadow world is everywhere.

This is the rule.

But wandering souls from the underworld can ignore the Shadow Realm.

This is why Pluto is called a false god by the people of the Shadow Temple.

He is a trespasser.

Thanatos diverted the souls of the dead that should have belonged to the Lady Deathspeaker.

Then rent them out at extremely "cheap" prices.

But the greedy necromancer wants to go one step further.

They didn't even want to pay the rent, so they had two options.

Becoming a lich is one of them.

What Barry came up with was the second one.

He also removed the weak consciousness attached to these dead souls, leaving only the remaining soul essence.

This will give you a zombie.

Then living people can parasitize their consciousness on the zombies and exist in this world in the form of souls.

The body has not been abandoned, but the soul has ascended.

The biggest difference between him and the Lich is that he gained eternal life without becoming "dead".

And the carrier can be continuously replaced.

This is undoubtedly the Necromancer's version of "seizing the body."

Of course, there are many problems in putting such a great idea into practice.

The biggest problem is that Barry's deconstruction array has limited accuracy.

This magic circle does not only separate the body and soul, but also splits the soul into consciousness and soul quality.

Unfortunately, it is currently limited to the souls of beasts.

Because the beasts completely follow their instincts, the consciousness attached to the dead souls is even weaker, and there is almost no need to remove it.

So Barry could only make beast zombies.

When the consciousness of a living person is attached to the beast zombie, it can control both bodies at the same time.

That's where those shapeshifters in the hall come from...

So the earliest school of transfiguration was actually necromancy!

As for how their bodies were "compressed," Barry didn't say.

Now, the problem facing Barry is:

When he separated Mr. Sa's soul and body, the soul took on the form of a pure soul.

In other words, Mr. Sa’s soul cannot be divided in the next step...

It is already a Zombie.

Pure and flawless.

Zombies without a shred of self-awareness.

Cleaner than animals.

is it possible?

This is impossible!

As a senior necromancer, Barry knew the significance of the battle just now better than anyone else.

The handling of the combat details of these three skeletons could not have come from the control of the Necromancer.

No one’s “micro management” can be that detailed.

The skeleton in front of him must have self-awareness, at least a fighting consciousness.

But such a complex consciousness has been completely eliminated at this moment...

If he can do this, he can "take over" everyone!

This is nothing short of a miracle!
Moreover, coupled with this feather and their ability to enter here, he guessed that the other party was related to Saberia.

Could it be that Saberia achieved research that even she couldn't do! ?
Heine can answer this question...

Because Mr. Sa’s consciousness was asleep.

He didn't know where their consciousness went when they were sleeping and dreaming, but it wasn't in the soul fire anyway.

In a way, Barry is now infinitely closer to the right answer.

His deconstructed magic circle even possesses some of the characteristics of the Yuanling magic circle...

If the Yuanling Array is a plug-in, then he is already on the road to simulating a plug-in.

This is undoubtedly an incredible achievement.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he could never guess that there was such a thing as a time traveler...

Seeing that Barry might burst if he continued to think about it, Heine hurriedly said:
"Is it possible that the consciousness is asleep? So it cannot be detected?"

In front of me is a "human remnant" who can speak of Archduke McCalla.Combined with the fact that the other party is suspected of being "imprisoned" here.

He has reason to believe that the other party is a potential ally.

Maybe he was locked up here by the night elves to mass-produce shapeshifters.

"Consciousness is sleeping?"

Barry was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes suddenly dawned:
"It makes sense...it makes sense, a genius design.

"Even consciousness needs to rest, and soul quality is undoubtedly the best cradle...

"Yuanling, yes, yes, Yuanling can make up for the friction damage caused during the active period of the soul, so that you don't even need to replace the zombies frequently.

"So he is recovering slowly now? Damn it, my Yuanling affinity is so bad that I can't see it at all..."

"I can feel it." Heine said: "The Yuanling is integrating into his soul and making up for his shortcomings. You guessed it right."

Barry was shocked: "You really can?"

Heine nodded: "I summoned them, I strengthened them, and I communicated with them.

"I've done everything you can think of and what you can't do. Just let me go first and let's talk slowly."

Barry said with strong suspicion: "Can you feel the emotions of the Yuanling who participated in the deconstruction of the magic circle?"

Heine moved his senses closer to the base of the magic circle, but was blocked by a wall.

He had also experienced this familiar feeling on the control module of the floating city.

It should be some kind of encryption.

"Your magic circle is locked."

Snapped

Barry slapped his forehead.

"I'll cancel it right now."

He removed the barrier that blocked his perception, and Heine tried again.

It does feel like a Yuanling magic circle.

But if the Yuanling magic circle is a large piece of cooked beef, then the magic circle in front of you is beef soup without meat.

The taste is indeed there, but the meat is really missing.

But Heine could still hear sparse sounds.

“I’m so exhausted~~~I’m so exhausted~~~”

"Yuan Ling is very tired," he replied.

"So that's how it is..."

Barry rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"No wonder the magic circle has been getting slower and slower to start recently, and the response speed is also very slow. So many parts have been replaced to no avail..."

He suddenly paused: "What about those spirits outside - those shapeshifters?"

Heine did not answer, indicating that he should do something.

Barry released the grip of the mage's hand.

"Can you feel it?"

Heine nodded: "They are in pain and asking for help. So in the end those people..."

"Sure enough, there is something wrong here..."

Barry smiled nervously.

But it passed by and quickly became calm.

"Melding. Their bodies are merging.

"Yuanling is a universal particle that can achieve the purpose of all spells. Any spell is initially based on imitating the behavior of Yuanling.

“Sebitiga did the same thing.

"When I stuffed the human soul into the beast zombie, the soul began to 'fuse' as a blueprint, and the body also merged with it.

"But this process is far more complicated than I imagined. I originally hoped that Yuanling could realize my wish and allow me to observe the real method... There is really no shortcut in research."

Barry said all this expressionlessly.

No guilt, no compassion, no regrets.

Nothing.

Heine: "Is this your wish or a goal imposed on you by others?"

Barry shook his head.

"Those are not important anymore. Too many memories will only make me old. I just remember what I want to do."

He suddenly patted Heine on the shoulder.

"You are very kind, honest, and candid, and you are as good a boy as my little son."

Heine was speechless for a while.

But when I think about how many times higher than Dylan I am, it doesn't seem unacceptable.

Barry returned to the stone chair and glanced at the other two skeletons.

Especially Wei Dian Yuan.

"Annihilation...the smell of obsidian, have you ever been in contact with those Yankees?"

"Not just contact."

Heine originally thought of Timeno Gitiller, but then he thought that these two people were hundreds of years apart, so it was impossible for them to know each other.

But he still told it all.

"...That's why I appear here, in this crypt where Saberia used to be."

After a pause, he asked: "So what is your relationship with Jungle Wind?"

"relation?"

Barry rubbed his forehead and thought about it.

"It was probably enemies at first, the relationship between kidnappers and hostages, then the relationship between employers and researchers, and then the relationship between the missing person and the inheritance... As for now, I don't know, I haven't seen him for a long time."

This is not only a long time...nearly a thousand years.

"Can you tell me something?" Heine asked.

Barry shook his head.

"Those things had to do with hatred and anger, and I stripped away all those strong negative emotions and the things were forgotten.

"I will not take the initiative to contact those, as it will accelerate my fall to the underworld and become a lich before the research is realized.

“But I wrote something before I made this decision, and you can look for it on the bookshelf over there.

"I'm going to do some research now, so don't disturb me."

He waved his hand, and Mr. Sa's soul returned to his body.

"Yes."

Heine walked to the bookshelf and rummaged through it.
