Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 26 Death Addiction
When you are extremely sleepy, you can literally fall into bed and fall asleep.

When Xie Shen entered the girl's room, he saw her lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.

no way.

In order to return to the surface, Xie Shen had no choice but to wait quietly.

He sat cross-legged and silently circulated the spiritual energy in his body, recovering from his injuries while consolidating his own cultivation.

I don’t know how much time passed like this.

There was a knock on the door suddenly from outside the house.

Judging from the sound, the person knocking on the door should be a man: "Hello, could you open the door, please?"

Xie Shen was extremely alert and opened the door carefully.

But standing outside the door was a middle-aged man wearing a black jacket and without a single wound on his body.

He looked like an ordinary person in the space station and didn't look like he came from underground at all.

The man looked Xie Shen up and down, then smiled and said, "Please introduce yourself. My name is Zhuge Fu, and I'm from this village."

"Uh," Zhuge Fu thought for a moment and said, "I think I'm a researcher, and I used to be a member of the space station."

"A researcher?"

Xie Shen looked at Zhuge Fu with a puzzled expression, his meaning was self-evident.

The latter generously explained: "As you can see, we underground people can regard pain as a kind of enjoyment, and I have been studying this."

As he spoke, Zhuge Fu suddenly looked at Xie Shen mysteriously and said, "How about it? Do you want to see what I'm researching?"

"forget it."

Out of caution, Xie Shen didn't want to cause too much trouble, so he decisively refused: "I just want to get back to the surface as soon as possible. I'm not interested in anything else."

Zhuge Fu glanced at the underground girl lying on the bed.

He said thoughtfully, "You want to go back to the surface, but you don't want to walk, so you don't know the way?"

in the room.

Seeing Xie Shen remained silent, Zhuge Fu continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you want to wait for Jin Ling to wake up and let her bring you to the surface, right? Then I can only say that you may be disappointed."

"What?" Xie Shen looked at Zhuge Fu, waiting for his next words.

The latter explained: "Jin Ling is a desperate girl. In order to make herself feel good, she often stays awake for several days. Then, when she can't hold on any longer, she lies in bed and sleeps for a whole day and night, sometimes even longer."

"What's the big deal?" Xie Shen said indifferently, "At most, I'll just wait a little longer."

"Hey"

Zhuge Fu grinned.

He said meaningfully: "You may not know this: you surface people cannot just spend the night underground."

"What do you mean?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard that.

Zhuge Fu said bluntly: "Because if you stay underground for a long time, you will be cursed."

“It’s just like what we have now: everyone sees pain as a pleasure, and then sees pleasure as a pain.”

"Moreover, this curse is irreversible. Even if you die and are resurrected by a resurrection spell, you still cannot recover."

At this point, Zhuge Fu suddenly asked Xie Shen: "Do you think that this kind of curse is actually quite good? After all, once you are infected, you don't have to worry about being resurrected by the Tower Prison. Have you ever thought about this?"

"Do not."

Xie Shen shook his head and said, "I don't think this is a good thing, unless this curse can be lifted." "You are a wise man!" Hearing his answer, Zhuge Fu said with admiration, "Don't ever think that as long as you are infected with this curse, you can gain endless happiness by constantly torturing yourself."

"Compared to the pleasure, the pain brought by the curse is obviously greater."

Zhuge Fu explained: "Not to mention too much, things like eating, drinking, and sleeping that people would normally enjoy will become a form of torture after being cursed. And the hungrier and thirstier you feel, the more intense the pain you will feel after eating."

“It’s like a knife hanging over our heads.”

"In order to avoid being tortured, we have to eat and drink water in advance every day when we are not hungry or thirsty."

"It's the same with sleeping. We have to go to bed when we are not sleepy, and then force ourselves to sleep when we feel sleepy."

Having said that, Zhuge Fu suddenly took off his black jacket.

He was shirtless, and after turning around in front of Xie Shen, he said, "See? I'm not like other people who intentionally create wounds on their bodies and feel good by torturing themselves. Do you know why?"

"Why?" Xie Shen asked.

Zhuge Fu said: "That's because if you do this, you will die sooner or later."

"There is great terror between life and death."

"I believe you understand this point without me having to say it."

"But for us cursed people, it's just the opposite: when we die, not only do we not feel horror, but we can enjoy indescribable pleasure."

"This kind of pleasure cannot be described in words. It exceeds all the enjoyment in the world."

Zhu Gefu made an analogy: "If the pleasure from eating is set as the number 1, then the pleasure from sex is about the number 10, and the pleasure from drugs is the number 100."

"But these pleasures are nothing compared to life and death."

"To be conservative, I think the pleasure a cursed person experiences at the moment of death is at least 1000!"

Good guy.
Zhuge Fu's words opened a whole new door for Xie Shen.

He asked in confusion: "I don't quite understand this: since it can produce pleasure, shouldn't it be a good thing? After all, we humans can be resurrected infinitely by resurrection magic, so death is actually nothing, right?"

"No, you don't realize how serious this problem is."

Zhuge Fu said with a serious expression: "Think about it: the pleasure produced by drugs is just the number 100, which can already make people addicted and turn them into neither human nor ghost. Then what about the 1000 points of pleasure produced by death? What will people become?"

Xie Shen suddenly realized what was going on and said, "It can make people addicted? And it's ten times, or even a hundred times, more terrifying than drug addiction?"

"Not bad!"

Zhuge Fu nodded and said, "Let me tell you another secret: In fact, there are far more than one village like ours underground, and every village allows people to have children. Do you know why?"

"That's easy to understand." Xie Shen said without hesitation: "Because sex is a form of torture for the underground people, so even if every village allows people to reproduce and everyone can be resurrected infinitely, there will be no population explosion underground."

"correct."

Zhuge Fu then asked, "But even with the resurrection technique, even if all villages allow people to have children, the total population of our underground is still decreasing. Do you know why?"

Xie Shen's eyes showed a thoughtful look.

Lean less.

He said uncertainly: "Is it because of 'death addiction'? After all, the pleasure of death is too strong. This will definitely cause some underground people to gradually become addicted to death. The consequence of addiction is that as soon as this person is resurrected, he will immediately try every possible way to commit suicide."

"Yes." Zhuge Fu continued Xie Shen's words, "So once a person becomes addicted to death, he is effectively ruined."

"Even though he can be resurrected, who would be willing to spend the time and energy to resurrect someone who wants to die?"
