Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 72 It

"Then, what is that?"

In the team.

Looking at the squirming mass of corpses, Zhuge Fu immediately showed a look of horror and instinctively retreated backwards.

And it's not just him.

The rest of the team members also looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

Everyone took out the weapons they carried with them at the same time.

Seeing this scene, one of the corpses that formed the strange creature spoke in English: "Don't get excited, don't get excited, I'm a human too, don't shoot!"

this.
Seeing that the corpse could speak, Xie Shen and others all had strange expressions on their faces.

Out of caution, the team members did not put down their weapons and always kept a certain distance from the collection of corpses.

But the corpse said again: "Trust me, I am a real human. Come here, I will ask you a few questions."

In the woods, Xie Shen, the team leader, responded: "If you have any questions, just ask directly. It's not like we can't hear you."

"That's fine!" The corpse said, "In your real world, what year is it now?"

The question of year, month and day is not really a secret.

Xie Shen replied openly: "It is July 6148, 7 AD."

After saying that, he did not forget to test the corpse: "From your tone, you have been in this world for a long time?"

"Yes." The corpse said, "I came to this mirror world by accident in the 15th century."

"At once"

“You know the Renaissance, right?”

"I know." Xie Shen nodded in response.

The corpse said, "At that time, the study of occultism was very popular in Europe, and I followed suit and studied those things."

"result."

"Ugh!"

At the end of his speech, the corpse couldn't help but let out a long sigh, as if he regretted what he had done in the past.

This aroused Xie Shen's curiosity, so he asked: "So, how did you get to this world? And then, how did you become like this now?"

"It's all because of the mirror!" The corpse said helplessly, "During the Renaissance, didn't the Venetians invent the glass mirror?"

“And I was in France.”

"Many people over there are interested in mirrors, and some even think there might be another world in the mirror."

"Then, the people who studied the mirror found a witch."

"It's the real kind that does witchcraft."

At this point, the corpse once again said with a tone of great regret: "I was also mentally ill at the time. I had to join in the fun."

"After I arrived at the scene, I heard the witch say that she could send people into the mirror, and I said on the spot that I didn't believe it."

"The witch is upset and says she can prove it to me."

"She then tied an umbilical cord around my head and attached the other end to the mirror."

"After that, by the time I realized what was happening, I was already in the mirror."

After listening to the description of the corpse, Xie Shen immediately grasped the key points of his words.

The difference between this and Xie Shen and the others is that the corpse directly traveled to the other world in the flesh with the "help" of the witch.

Rather than the soul.

So after he came in, he could never get out again.

As for how the corpse became what it is now?
Thinking of this, Xie Shen repeated the previous question.

He asked, "Then, how did you become what you are now?"

"It's all to please it." The corpse replied, "In the mirror world, it has the final say on everything."

"If I don't become like this, it will be unhappy."

"It?" Xie Shen asked curiously, "Who exactly do you mean by 'it'?"

"I can't say it, I can't say it!"

The corpse shook its head like a rattle and replied, "In the mirror world, you can't mention 'it' by name directly, otherwise it will sense it. If 'it' notices it, the consequences will be very serious."

"Especially normal people like you who have just come to the mirror world not long ago."

"You will make 'it' very unhappy if you behave like this!"

Good guy.

Play Riddler with me, huh?
Xie Shenqiang suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked patiently, "Okay, if you don't want to tell me the name, then you can tell me where exactly 'it' is, right? At worst, I can go and take a look myself to see what the 'it' you are talking about is."

"hey-hey."

Hearing what Xie Shen said, the corpse suddenly smiled mysteriously.

His answer became even more enigmatic: "The 'it' I'm talking about is everywhere."

"It cannot be seen directly, and it cannot be described in words."

"It can't even be seen or touched."

"but"

The corpse continued: "In short, as long as you stay in the mirror world long enough, you will feel its presence sooner or later."

"Once you can feel it, your body will slowly change."

"Like, becoming like me now."

Ah this
In the woods.

Just when Xie Shen was confused, Li Xiu's voice suddenly rang in everyone's ears.

He explained: "The 'it' mentioned by the corpse should be referring to some kind of evil god-like existence."

"Since the name of 'it' cannot be mentioned directly."

"Then," Li Xiu suggested, "For the sake of convenience, why not call it the Unspeakable Creature?"

After hearing this, Xie Shen lowered his voice and said, "So what the corpse said is very likely true? Is there really an evil god in this world?"

"I don't know." Li Xiu said calmly, "But there's no need to be superstitious."

"To put it bluntly, it's just an existence beyond our cognition. There's no need to really regard it as a god."

"I just said it, it's just an 'unspeakable creature'."

An indescribable creature?
Xie Shen looked thoughtful when he heard this: The thing in the corpse's mouth cannot be looked at directly, cannot be described in words, and cannot be touched by anyone.

So it is indeed appropriate to refer to it as 'unspeakable creature'.

While thinking.

Li Xiu then said, "Xie Shen, ask the corpse if he has heard of the 'Resurrection Technique'? See how he reacts."

Yes.

There is also resurrection magic.

After Li Xiu's reminder, Xie Shen hurriedly asked the corpse about the resurrection technique.

"Resurrection? I've definitely heard of that." The latter replied, "Although I was born in the 15th century, I'm not the only one who has accidentally entered the mirror world over the years, so I know the situation outside."

Xie Shen asked curiously, "Since you know the resurrection technique, why don't you commit suicide and then refresh your status through resurrection?"

"In this way, won't you be able to become a normal person again?"

"Who said I haven't tried?" The corpse said helplessly, "The problem is that no matter how many times I commit suicide, I will still be the same after I resurrect."

“People who come to the mirror world seem to be cursed.”

"The mutation that happened to us is permanent!"

this.
Hearing the word "curse", Xie Shen subconsciously looked towards Zhuge Fu in the team.

The latter spread his hands and said, "Don't look at me. I don't have an 'Infrasonic Arrester' on me, so I can't tell whether the curse of the other world and the curse of the underground are the same thing."

Okay.

Xie Shen didn't want to dwell on the curse for the time being.

He turned to the corpse and asked, "Since you are not the only one who entered the other world, where are the others? Why can't I see them?" The corpse explained, "You have only entered the mirror world for a short time, so you may not know yet."

"In the mirror world, no matter which direction a person goes, they will end up in the same place."

"Then we called that place 'Looking Rome'."

"You should have heard of this," the corpse added. "After all, all roads lead to Rome."

Magic.

have to say.

Almost everything that happens in the other world cannot be judged by common sense.

For example, the thalamus core that can invade reality.

Another example is the curse of the other world.

and Rome in the Looking Glass.

These cannot be explained by science at all, and can only be temporarily classified as "mysticism".

Li Xiu is very interested in mysticism.

This is uncharted territory.

Driven by his curiosity, he directed Xie Shen and the others, "Ask the corpse, if we keep walking in a certain direction, how long will it take to reach the 'Rome in the Mirror' he mentioned?"

"Row."

Xie Shen followed Li Xiu's instructions and turned to inquire about the corpse.

The corpse immediately said, "It will probably take a little more than a day to walk. As for how long it will take, I don't have any impression."

"Maybe a day and a half?"

After hearing this answer, Li Xiu said, "Ask the corpse again: How long will it take for people who enter the other world to be affected by the curse and mutate?"

Xie Shen relayed Li Xiu's question truthfully.

The corpse continued, "It should be at least a month or more. At least in my memory it's quite a long time."

"That's good."

Hearing what the corpse said, Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Since the curse will take a long time to take effect, we can explore the other world without worry."

"Of course."

He said cautiously: "Since we cannot judge whether what the corpse said is true or false at the moment, I suggest that all of you exit the inner world first."

"Then I will find someone who is not afraid of death and let him enter the other world to test it out."

"Wait until you are sure there is no danger, then you can go up."

Is this another necessary sacrifice?

Xie Shen was already accustomed to Li Xiu's behavior.

He immediately replied, "Then, just pull off the umbilical cord, and we will exit the inner world now."

"Ah."

Li Xiu responded immediately.

next second.

Xie Shen suddenly opened his eyes, and he woke up from the inner world.
...

After this trip to the other world ended, Li Xiuxiu sent another cyborg into it to explore.

The full name of this cyborg is 'Xue Guoer'.

Relying on her superior physical fitness, she forced a man to have sex with her in the space station.

According to relevant regulations: Xue Guoer should have been exiled to Tower Prison and a total of 20 points should have been deducted from her personal terminal.

But just when Xue Guoer was about to be executed, Li Xiu intercepted her.

Li Xiu successfully persuaded Xue Guoer to explore the inner world by offering her the condition of "helping her erase her criminal record".

in this way.

Nearly a week passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Xiu once again gathered together Xie Shen and other team members.

Surface human base.

In the laboratory.

Li Xiu said to Xie Shen and others.

"Didn't Zhao Tianze, who entered the other world with you earlier, die brain dead and then be resurrected to the Tower Prison?"

"We fished him out yesterday."

"It's just that they have some minor problems."

"What's the problem?" Xie Shen was stunned when he heard it.

Li Xiu said: "After Zhao Tianze was resurrected, he remained brain dead."

"It seems that the resurrection spell cannot refresh his status."

"He can only continue like this."

"No way?" Xie Shen was shocked after hearing this: "So, anyone who gets into trouble in the other world will suffer permanent damage in reality? And the kind that even resurrection magic can't recover from?"

"At present, this is the case." Li Xiu nodded and said, "But even so, we still have to send people to explore the inner world."

"The scientific research value of the other world is too high."

"A thorough understanding of the inner world will be of great help to the future of our human race."

"Even if a small number of people may be sacrificed in the process, such as Zhao Tianze."

There was no emotion in Li Xiu's tone.

He said coldly: "But, it is just a necessary sacrifice."

Xie Shen did not refute Li Xiu's point of view.

First of all, he is not a saint.

Secondly, this matter involves the future destiny of all mankind, so he is not qualified to refute it.

"Then let's talk about Xue Guoer's situation." Li Xiuyan got back to the point, "After Xue Guoer entered the inner world, she stayed there for a full seven days, and nothing happened."

"So the conclusion is: you will most likely be safe after entering the other world."

"At least in the first seven days after entering, you will not be affected by the curse."

Xie Shen understood the hidden meaning of Li Xiu's words.

He followed Li Xiu's words and said, "So you mean, we are going to enter the other world again?"

"Ah."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Then Xue Guoer will lead you this time. She has been to Mirror Rome once, so she is more familiar with the situation there than you are."

After saying that, he looked towards a female mutant not far away.

——It goes without saying that the female modified person should be Xue Guoer who made meritorious service after committing a crime.

This woman has a pretty face.

She is not plump and looks delicate, giving people a feeling of incomparable purity.

It is hard to imagine that this person would "force sex with the opposite sex" in the space station.

In the laboratory.

Seeing Xie Shen and others looking at her, Xue Guoer first lowered her head and made a shy face.

But after spotting Xie Shen in the crowd, the shyness on her face immediately disappeared.

Instead, there was an extremely aggressive look.

Xue Guoer walked forward, staring at Xie Shen intently, and said with a smile, "That."

"My name is Xue Guoer, you should all know this."

"Anyway, take better care of me in the future."
