Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 73 Spreading the Curse
Normally, people like Xue Guoer who have "committed a crime" are not welcome wherever they go.

But after all, people are used to judging people by their appearance.

Because Xue Guoer was really pretty, Xie Shen and other team members forgot what she had done as soon as they met her.

She integrated into the team easily.

In the laboratory.

After everyone jumped into the glass cube filled with water, Xie Shen immediately used his 'virtualization' ability.

Everyone entered the thalamus core one after another.

After entering the thalamus core, Xie Shen didn't think much about it and directly used the "Turtle Breathing Technique" to put himself into a state of suspended death.

good chance!
At the same time.

Seeing Xie Shen close his eyes and faint, Xue Guoer swam forward and hugged him, with an expression of enjoyment on her face.

A few seconds later, Xue Guoer also closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
...

The boundless darkness.

I don’t know how much time has passed.

In the inner world.

Xie Shen suddenly opened his eyes.

He looked around and found that he was indeed back in the open space surrounded by woods.

Because of the gap in strength.

It was a long time after Xie Shen woke up that the other team members finally woke up.

at the same time.

Li Xiu's voice rang in everyone's ears: "Okay, okay, this game console has finally been brought in."

——After hearing what Li Xiu said, Xie Shen just noticed that Zhuge Fu, who entered the other world this time, actually had a PSmax game console in his hand.

"This is..." Xie Shen opened his mouth and was about to ask.

But Li Xiu rushed to explain: "Didn't Xue Guoer go to the Rome in the Mirror before?"

"Although there are many people living there, at least 90% of them are not mentally normal."

"The only person with a clear mind is still unwilling to reveal any information to us."

"He was clamoring for a game console and said he would only cooperate with us if we gave him one."

"I really have no choice."

Li Xiu was speechless and said, "In the end, let Zhuge Fu sleep with PSmax every day."

"This way, Zhuge Fu will have a certain chance of dreaming about 'PSmax' after entering the other world."

“People from the other world actually also play video games?” Xie Shen was also speechless after hearing this.

“Why not play?”

Li Xiuxiu said as a matter of course: "There is no entertainment in this world. It is normal to have a game console to kill time."

On the open ground.

After chatting for a while, Xie Shen's team slowly moved forward from north to south along the route they had taken last time.

On the way, Xue Guoer's true nature gradually exposed.

——As a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, Xie Shen's every move exudes a sense of transcendence that is different from that of ordinary people.

Plus, he's not bad looking.

So along the way, Xue Guoer kept finding various topics just to chat more with Xie Shen.

This attitude made Xie Shen feel a little amused and helpless.

It’s definitely not that annoying.

After all, Xue Guoer didn't do anything excessive, and the most important thing is that she is really beautiful.

But to say I like it isn’t to that extent.

In this way, the group walked through the woods, and before they knew it, they had walked for a whole day and night.

At about noon the next day, Li Xiu suddenly reminded him, "Xie Shen, pay attention to your surroundings and observe carefully for any changes."

"What's wrong?" Xie Shen instinctively wanted to ask a few questions.

But Li Xiu said again: "Don't talk first, just watch carefully!"

After his repeated emphasis, Xie Shen stopped talking and just concentrated on observing his surroundings.

Lean less.

As the scene twisted and turned, Xie Shen discovered that the scene around him had inexplicably undergone some unknown changes.

When the distortion ended, he and the rest of the team appeared in a foggy village.

Most of the houses in the village are built with thatch and mud, and there are dirt roads for people to pass through.

At first glance, it does seem to be the case.

But if you look closely, you can find many abnormalities.

For example, the many villagers in the village - some of them are like a collection of corpses, made up of countless human parts.

Some of the legs inexplicably disappeared and were replaced by countless tentacles.

In short, no one can be normal.

In the village.

Just as the team members were surprised by what they saw, Li Xiu asked Xie Shen again: "How is it? Did you see it clearly? Can you see how we got into this village just now?"

"I have no idea why." Xie Shen said in bewilderment, "Everything in this world is so weird that it cannot be explained from a scientific perspective."

"No, you are wrong." Li Xiu corrected after hearing this: "Everything in the other world can be classified as mysticism."

"And mysticism can also be considered a category of science."

"We can also discover the various natural laws through observation and summary."

That's so natural, Mr. Li.

——In Li Xiu's eyes, everything in the world can be unified by the word "science".

Xie Shen didn't want to argue with this crazy scientist, so he took the initiative to change the subject and said, "By the way, what about the person you mentioned before who wants a PS game console?"

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

As soon as Xie Shen opened his mouth, he saw a villager with a lower body covered with tentacles and a head like an octopus walking towards him not far away.

Squidward noticed the PS game console in Zhuge Fu's hand at a glance.

With a hint of excitement in his tone, he quickly walked forward and said, "Okay, okay! This is the game console you brought for me, right?"

As he said that, he snatched the game console from Zhuge Fu's hand.

Although somewhat dissatisfied, considering that this PSmax was originally prepared for Squidward, Zhuge Fu did not care about the other party's behavior.

He patiently explained: "This game console is the latest generation in the Tiangong Space Station."

"Originally, this game console needs to be constantly charged."

“But considering that there is no electricity in your village, we added a solar charging module to the game console when we came.”

"Okay, okay, okay!" Squidward, who got the game console, said okay three times in a row.

He said with emotion: "Your game console came at the perfect time. I'm almost sick of playing my FC handheld!"

After saying this, Squidward's eyes never left the game screen.

He asked as he fumbled around: "Why are there so few games on this machine? Only five? How long can I play them for?"

There are only five games, which is naturally what Li Xiu intended.

Seeing that Squidward was attracted by the game, Li Xiu hurriedly said to Xie Shen: "You should ask him where those thalamus cores in the other world came from."

"Okay." Xie Shen responded and then repeated Li Xiu's questions exactly as he had asked them.

Squidward gets the game console.

Xie Shen and others could take the opportunity to gather some information.

This was agreed upon before.

Since it was an agreement, Squidward kept his promise.

He reluctantly turned off the game console and replied: "All the thalamus cores in the mirror world are derived from 'it'."

After saying this, he quickly added: "Don't ask me who 'it' is anymore. Even if I take your game console, I can't tell you, otherwise 'it' will pay attention to it, and then I will be in trouble."

Xie Shen knew that the 'it' that Squidward was referring to was the 'unspeakable creature' that Li Xiu had mentioned earlier.

That is, it cannot be looked at directly and cannot be described in words.

An existence that is neither visible nor tangible.

Out of curiosity, he asked Squidward, "So how bad is it exactly? Will he be killed by 'it'?"

Squidward looked around, then pointed at himself and said, "Isn't our current situation miserable enough?"

"All the curses we have suffered were brought by 'it'."

"If it gets the attention of 'it', this curse will be further deepened."

"By then, not only will our bodies change, but our spirits will also change."

Squidward thought for a moment and said, "How can I describe it? In short, it will become very strange, and the way of thinking will no longer be like that of a human."

“Anyway, I can’t tell you what it is like.”

"There was a man like that in the village before, but he ran away later."

"If you could encounter it, you would know what it is like."

Just being noticed by 'it' will deepen the curse on oneself.

In severe cases, it can even lead to insanity.

This is truly horrifying.

Even in the world of cultivation, Xie Shen had never seen anyone possess such incredible power.

While thinking, I heard Li Xiu remind me again: "Don't think too much, continue to ask him about the main thing, about the thalamus core."

"Ah."

Xie Shen organized his words and asked Squidward again: "You just said that the thalamus core was derived from 'it', then why? What is the purpose of 'it' doing this?"

"To spread the curse." Squidward replied: "The thalamus core can spread the curse into the real world."

"Do you understand?"

Perhaps they feel that the value of this information is too high.

After replying, Squidward shook the game console in his hand and asked, "Actually, even if I didn't ask, I could have guessed that there are only five games on this game console. You must have done that on purpose so that you can better control me later."

"I'm too lazy to argue with you about this."

"I just want to say one thing." Squidward continued, "I've answered your question. Can you fill up my computer's memory with games? Until the memory can't hold it anymore."

"Agree to him first, and then continue asking questions." After hearing this, Li Xiu hurriedly gave instructions.

Xie Shen said, "It doesn't matter how many games you want to install."

"But before that, you have to answer me honestly."

"Just what you said, about spreading the curse."

Xie Shen asked Squidward: "If 'it's' curse spreads in the real world, what will be the consequences?"

"Before I answer you, I have to make a statement first."

Squidward replied: "Everything I know about 'it' may not be accurate."

"I heard a lot of information from other people in the village."

"So whether it is true or not, you have to judge for yourself."

"Okay." Xie Shen encouraged, "Just tell me."

Squidward spoke slowly, "If the curse spreads in the real world, there will be only one consequence."

"That is, 'it' will also come into reality along with the curse."

"The process of advent is not complicated."

Squidward described: "First, 'it' will make the fanatics infected with the curse draw geometric patterns on the ground to cast the resurrection spell."

"Then, the fanatics only need to chant 'it's' name repeatedly."

"After a while of this, 'it' will finally become a reality."

Use resurrection to summon 'it'?
Can the resurrection spell actually bring down an "unspeakable creature"?
What kind of logic is this?

The information that came out of Squidward's mouth made Xie Shen feel indescribably strange.

In the world.

Resurrection.

Humanity.

There are also indescribable creatures.

Even includes the tower prison and the fake people.

After connecting all of this together, Xie Shen immediately had a vague guess in his mind:

Perhaps, it is no coincidence that the art of resurrection was discovered by humans.

There is probably a big secret hidden in this.

But what is the secret?

I have a headache.
In the village.

Seeing Xie Shen's tangled expression, Li Xiu said, "Don't think about those things for now."

"The intelligence we have now is still too little, so it is difficult to deduce the truth behind all this."

"So it's useless to worry about these things now."

"You continue to ask that octopus head." Li Xiu said, "Just ask him how to stop the thalamus core from invading reality? Or, how to prevent the curse from spreading in reality?"

Xie Shen repeated Li Xiu's question as he was told.

Squidward replied: "Don't even think about it. 'It's' power is almost infinite. Whether it's the thalamus core derived from 'It' or the curse spread by 'It', we humans can't stop it. Do you understand?"

The power of the indescribable creature is almost infinite?
After hearing this, Xie Shen questioned, "Didn't you say before that 'it' cannot be looked at or touched by humans? Then how do you know that 'it's' power is almost infinite?"

"Just by feeling." Squidward said without hesitation: "The longer you stay in the mirror world, the more serious the curse you suffer."

"The worse the curse, the easier it is for you to feel its presence."

"At that time, you will understand how strong 'it' is."

"Then I'll tell you a secret."

At this point, Squidward's tone suddenly became gloating.

He said word by word: "If nothing unexpected happens, in the future 'it' will spawn more monsters that will invade the real world from the mirror world."

"'It' does this so that the curse can spread faster in reality."

"When the time is right, 'it' will also be able to descend into reality along with the curse."

"How about it, hopeless?"

The gloating in Squidward's tone was becoming more and more obvious.

He emphasized: "At that time, our human nightmare will truly begin!"
