Resurrection of all mankind

Chapter 83 Bliss, Longevity, and Immortality
See Norma keeps complaining.

As the initiator of Norma's resurrection, Zhuge Fu said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, this matter is not completely unsolvable."

“If you do get cancer in the future, you might consider going underground.”

Zhuge Fu explained: "There is also a curse in the underground, just like in this flesh and blood world. If people stay there for a long time, they will be infected."

"The effect of the underground curse is that it can transform all the pain people feel into enjoyment."

Turn pain into happiness?

After hearing what Zhuge Fu said, Norma opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

But Li Xiu spoke to himself: "Since we are talking about the underground curse, I need to remind you."

"A person cannot have multiple curses at the same time."

"Regarding this point, the top management of the Tiangong Space Station has already conducted a test."

"Ah?" Zhuge Fu looked at Li Xiu, his face full of confusion: "The top management has tested it? What does that mean?"

Not just Zhuge Fu.

Norma, Xie Shen and others were also curious about what Li Xiugang said.

Facing everyone's gaze, Li Xiu said calmly.
"I believe everyone here has heard that in the Tower Prison, there is a 'VIP room' that is used to detain high-ranking humans."

"That room can create an illusion and allow high-level humans to experience torture that is ten or even a hundred times more severe than that of ordinary people."

"In order to avoid being tortured by illusions, the human leaders have become more and more afraid of death."

"They've tried almost everything to extend their lifespan."

"So far, there are a very small number of high-ranking human beings who have even lived to be nearly 4000 years old and are still alive."

“Then the problem arises.”

Having said that, Li Xiu suddenly glanced at everyone present.

He continued: "May I ask: How did those very few high-level human beings live to be 4000 years old?"

——The existence of Tower Prison, Thorny Jellyfish, Pseudo-Humans and Thalamus Cores always threatens human safety.

Therefore, in the past thousands of years, the speed of development of human science and technology can be said to have never been fast enough.

So if we rely on technology alone
It is quite difficult for the upper echelons of humankind to live to 4000 years old.

In view of this, Xie Shen said uncertainly: "I guess that the human leaders rely on the curse of the mirror world to live to 4000 years old?"

"clever!"

Li Xiu nodded.

He followed Xie Shen's words and said, "So far, we have discovered a total of three different curses."

"They are: the 'underground curse' from deep underground, the 'mirror curse' from the mirror world, and the 'flesh and blood curse' in this flesh and blood world."

"The positive effects of these three curses are: bliss, longevity, and immortality."

Li Xiu continued: "I don't know about the Heaven Space Station."

"But the senior executives of our Tiangong Space Station have relied on the longevity effect of the 'Mirror Curse' to live for nearly 4000 years."

After hearing this, Xie Shen already understood what Li Xiu wanted to express.

He took over the conversation and said, "But a curse is a curse after all. The longevity of the 'Mirror Curse' has side effects, right?"

"That's natural." Li Xiu responded, "Just like the octopus head and the collection of corpses you saw in the mirror world."

"Although they gained immortality due to the curse, they lived for thousands of years at a stretch."

"But the price is that their bodies have all mutated, becoming neither human nor ghost."

"Similarly, the higher-ups of our Tiangong Space Station have also mutated due to the curse of the mirror world."

Mutation? ?

Xie Shen suddenly realized what was going on: "No wonder the top leaders of our space station never show up. After all this time, they have all turned into monsters!"

Li Xiu added: "And the curse of the mirror world is not as simple as just making people mutate."

"After the high-level humans mutated into monsters, they lost the ability to eat, drink, mate, and even sleep."

"So, they are suffering almost all the time - suffering from unsatisfied desires."

"This"

Xie Shen was surprised after hearing this: "The octopus head in the mirror world can't eat or even sleep?"

"What else?" Li Xiu asked Xie Shen, "Why do you think he is so obsessed with the game console?"

"Because of Octopus Head."

"His only joy is that game console."

“That’s what keeps him alive.”

"Without his video game console, he would have probably gone crazy a long time ago."

"Let's get back to the human high-level officials."

Li Xiu continued: "In order to alleviate the pain of unfulfilled desires, the human leaders naturally thought of the underground curse."

"This is indeed a good idea." Zhuge Fu said after hearing this: "After all, the underground curse can transform people's pain into enjoyment, which happens to be a perfect match with the 'Mirror Curse'."

Li Xiu said: "If different curses can act on the human body at the same time, it would be perfect indeed."

"But the problem is that a person cannot be infected with two curses at the same time."

"Once the upper echelons of humanity have been infected with the Mirror Curse, they can no longer be infected with the Underground Curse."

"Maybe, this is life!"

Li Xiu sighed.

"The fate of the top leaders" and "even the fate of all mankind."

"The final result is torture."

After these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.

After being silent for a long time, Li Xiu returned to the topic and said, "In short, I have said so much just to make one thing clear: after Norma was infected with the flesh curse, she should not be infected with the underground curse again."

"If you want to avoid being tortured, you have to think of other ways."

Speaking of it.

Li Xiu glanced at Xie Shen who was standing beside him and said, "For example, cultivating immortals. As far as I know, cultivating immortals can not only prolong a person's lifespan, but can even make a person immune to all diseases."

"Cultivating immortals?" Norma was confused as he listened: "Does it mean literally?"

"Correct."

Li Xiu replied: "As for your understanding of cultivation, I will explain the details to you later."

"Let's continue with the previous topic."

Li Xiuyan got back to the point, "Didn't you just say that those of you who can't be killed will also grow old? What about after that?"

"Then of course I thought about escaping." Norma said as a matter of course: "Although it was already a little late when I reacted, anyway, it would not be wrong to find a way to get out of the control of the military first."

"That's true."

Zhuge Fu asked curiously, "But the question is, didn't you rely on suicide before to enter the flesh and blood world through resurrection?"

"So after you become immortal, you can't even die if you want to. How are you going to leave this world of flesh and blood?"

"Remember the teleporter I mentioned before?" Norma replied, "The teleporter can't directly transport living people, otherwise the teleported person will be dismembered."

"But it doesn't matter to us who are cursed."

"We are immortal."

"Even if it is dismembered, it can be restored in a very short time."

Norma continued: "So, I used the teleporter and teleported directly to the warehouse of the military laboratory."

He endured the pain of being dismembered and escaped through the teleporter.

I can only say that he is a ruthless person.

Norma added: "Maybe the military never thought that I could use a teleporter to teleport to the warehouse."

"So, there are hardly any protective measures installed in their warehouses."

"After I got a pistol in the warehouse, I used my immortal body to fight my way out of the underground and onto the surface."

"From underground?" Zhuge Fu asked, "So the military laboratory was built underground? You were able to fight your way out?"

"Don't forget, everyone is afraid of death."

Norma replied: "Even if resurrection techniques were already available at that time, people would not be as afraid of death as before, but they would still be afraid of pain."

"So, when I rushed out desperately, almost no one in the entire laboratory dared to stop me."

"It makes sense." Zhuge Fu nodded in agreement: "You continue."

Norma continued: "If I remember correctly, the military laboratory should be built on an island."

"It would be almost impossible for an ordinary person to escape from an isolated island on their own."

"But I can."

"Because I won't drown."

"Just like that, I relied on my immortal body to swim all the way back to the Australian continent from that isolated island."

Norma finally said: "For a long time afterwards, I lived in fear."

“I don’t dare to travel far.”

"Because I need my ID card to travel, and there are surveillance cameras everywhere, there is a high probability that I will be exposed."

"I am even very careful with bank cards and social media apps."

"In this way, I lived to the age of 120 with great difficulty, and finally died because my cells stopped dividing."

I work diligently and live on thin ice, only to welcome death.

This sounds quite ironic.

Thinking of this, Zhuge Fu couldn't help but sighed: "To be honest, it's really not easy for you."

Compared to Zhuge Fu, Li Xiu was more concerned about other people who were also trapped in the world of flesh and blood.

He asked Norma, "Including you, how many people were working for the military in the Flesh and Blood World at that time?"

"Ten," Norma said without hesitation, "and there were exactly five men and five women. I was deeply impressed by this."

Li Xiu said: "So what about the remaining nine people? Did they escape?"

"I don't know about that." Norma replied: "When I ran away, I also asked my best friend to come with me."

"I wanted to escape with her so that I could have someone to look after me during the process."

“But she was scared.”

"After she saw me being dismembered by the teleporter, she backed off."

“So I was the only one who escaped.”

Norma finally said: "Since then, I have never heard any news about the nine people in the flesh and blood world."

"Maybe they have all escaped."

"Of course, it's also possible that they are trapped in the flesh and blood world forever until they die of old age."
