My Endless Life.

Chapter 126 Ronnie's Dream
The origin of the original relic is no longer traceable.

The reason why "relics" are called "relics" is simply because these objects are found in ruins.

They have strange and bizarre abilities that can enable an ordinary person to master powers beyond the ordinary. They are rare treasures in this world.

The lost treasures sought in ruins can be called relics.

But in fact, long before the humans in the safe zone discovered the relics, the 'ancient civilization' on the third layer had already been using this name.

Most people don't know why they are called that, they just think that they think the same as the people in the safe zone.

But the founder of the Light Chasing Society understood the reason behind all this.

This is why he left the kingdom.

The real name of the relic is not "relic treasure", it is actually "relic of life".

The birth of every relic is related to life.

The ability of each relic is also related to life and soul.

The so-called contract with relics is more of a resonance between life and life.

The inability to use relics other than those in the contract is also due to the rejection between lives.

This is the truth that Jinghua knows.

The things that Li Qi created did have abilities beyond the ordinary. From Jinghua's point of view, the Adam he made by himself was already very close to a first-level relic.

But they still cannot be called relics.

Because they lack the most core key, life.

When Li Qi heard this from Jinghua, he felt cold sweat on his back.

If the birth of every relic is related to life, doesn't that mean that everyone in this world has the potential to become a relic?

A little surprised by the darkness of this world, Li Qi was silent for a while and asked:

"The life you are talking about should not only be human..."

"In general, any life can be made into a relic, but only relics made by humans can become special-grade. This is the special nature of being a 'human'."

Jinghua replied.

Li Qi looked at her fingers, where her relics were.

"Then your relics are also..."

"Yes."

Jinghua did not deny it. She stroked her ring but said nothing more.

Li Qi played with the red walnut in his hand in silence.

He had thought that the making of relics might be related to life, but what he had previously thought of were the fog beasts in the fog area.

For example, the red-winged bird had been turned into materials and sent to the royal capital.

Part of the material of the red walnut in Li Qi's hand comes from the red-winged bird.

But even so, the things in his hands cannot be called relics. Perhaps the reason is that the things in his hands have no "soul".

Then the problem comes again.

Soul...what exactly is it?
Li Qi turned his head and looked at Adam. In a sense, Adam was Li Qi's backup body. As long as he could figure out the problem of the soul, Li Qi would not have to worry about dying due to physical conditions in the future.

The premise is that Li Qi can indeed figure out the essence of the soul.

Perhaps he can find the answer in this world.

Jinghua was somewhat surprised to see that Li Qi was just lost in thought and not as shocked as she had imagined.

She asked doubtfully:
"Aren't you surprised?"

"what?"

"A large part of the materials used to make relics are human life and soul..."

"Oh...right." After hearing what Jinghua said, Li Qi suddenly thought of something. He asked Jinghua curiously:
"Do you know what a 'soul' is?"

Jinghua: “?”

Although Li Qi did express his surprise and confusion, the reasons for his surprise and confusion seemed to be different from what Jinghua thought.

After looking at Li Qi with a strange look for a while, Jinghua no longer cared why he was so calm. When she heard the other party's question, she replied:
"I'm not sure, but... the president should know, so do you want to come with me? To the Light Chasing Society."

She still hadn't given up on getting Li Qi into the Light Chasing Society.

Li Qi still ignored her. He stared straight at Jinghua and said:
"I still have a lot of questions for you. Answer my questions first, and then... let's talk about the Light Chasing Society."

In addition to the issue of the relics, Li Qi had other questions to ask.

For example, the monsters in the fog area, and the fog area that suddenly appeared in the safe zone. These are the questions Li Qi wants to know.

Tonight's night is long and they still have plenty of time to chat.

Li Qi believed that Jinghua could answer all his questions.

……

"Uh-huh..."

Ronnie lay on his bed in the dormitory, uttering meaningless cries.

After returning from the second layer of fog area, his body has been in pain. Although he knows that this is due to the backlash of the fog, the pain after the backlash of the fog lasted too long.

Perhaps it was because he entered the second level directly that there was such a severe backlash?
But Li Qi seemed to be fine... According to what he said, this was only his second time entering the foggy area...

I don’t understand…

Ronnie thought and turned over in bed again.

He couldn't help but think of Li Qi's performance in the foggy area.

She remained calm in the face of danger. Even when facing a group of monsters, she was able to find a way to escape in a short time, and even took him out with them.

Li Qi was obviously younger than him, and had never been in the foggy area before, but he was able to remain calm. Could it be that there really was a genius in fog exploration in this world?
Just like the legendary Weiner...

Ronnie was lost in thought and slowly closed his eyes.

Under the backlash of the fog and the accumulation of physical fatigue, he finally fell asleep.

But in the past, Ronnie would sleep soundly until dawn and didn't even know what he dreamed about the night before. He was a typical heartless person.

But today is different.

Today, Ronnie had a rare dream.

And he dreamed of someone he was very familiar with.

Li Qi.

Or rather... Li Qi as a child.

"What are you doing here?"

Li Qi, who had just arrived at the welfare home not long ago and lived in the same room with the director's grandfather because he was shy, stared at Ronnie who was standing in the room with a cold face.

Ronnie met the rare golden eyes and then extended his hand to him:
"Let's be friends!"

"..."

Then Ronnie saw that the other person was looking at him as if he was a fool.

That was the first time Ronnie and Richie met, and it was a long, long time ago.

After that, Ronnie had little contact with Li Qi, and the other party seemed to be deliberately avoiding all social interactions.

Ronnie, who was alone and friendless, originally wanted to make friends with Richie, but gradually gave up the idea after being persuaded by Emma and Rumi.

Until...now we've become 'friends' in another way.

No, it would be more appropriate to say teachers and students.

"Why do I remember the past... I seemed to have seen something familiar in Li Qi's room just now..."

In the dream, the images of the past shattered with Li Qi's rejection, but before they shattered, Ronnie saw something familiar.

It looks like an arm made of...wood?
Ronnie was still reminiscing, when suddenly, Li Qi, who had been shattered along with the surrounding scenes, suddenly appeared in front of Ronnie again.

He still maintained his childish appearance, with confusion in his golden eyes, and asked Ronnie who appeared in front of him:

"…Who are you?"

"what?"

"who am I?"

"????"

Even in a dream, Ronnie felt that Li Qi's question made no sense. He opened his mouth slightly to answer, but suddenly he felt his body shaking.

He seemed to be pulled away by something and flew backwards into the distance.

The 'Li Qi' in his eyes was gradually swallowed up by the darkness. Before the darkness completely engulfed him, Ronnie saw that the other person seemed to have turned into himself.

The memory stayed at this moment, and Ronnie's consciousness completely returned from the dream.

"Hey! You're going to be late for training if you don't get up!"

Hearing Emma's urging voice in his ears, Ronnie slowly opened his eyes.

But before Ronnie had time to sort out the dream he had last night, he heard Emma's tone becoming more and more impatient.

Then a sense of danger came over Ronnie's head.

"Roni! Get up!!!"

Emma, ​​whose strength was amplified by the dragon scales, raised her little hand that could almost kill a cow with one punch and slapped Ronnie on the head.

Even if Ronnie has always been very tough, after being hit like this, he would probably have to lie down for a whole morning before he could wake up.

Seeing this, the bespectacled boy Rumi immediately stopped him and said:
"Wait! Emma! Do you want him to wake up or let him sleep forever!!"

But Rumi was a little slow to stop her, and when he made a sound, Emma's hand was already raised.

Before he could finish his sentence, Emma's hand fell on Ronnie's bed.

boom!
Feeling his life was threatened, Ronnie's body instantly jumped up from the bed.

The 'crystal' on his chest glowed slightly, and an inexplicable power infused into every corner of his body.

Driven by this power, Ronnie disappeared from the bed like a ghost, and then appeared behind Emma.

boom!
Emma's hand waved in vain and landed on the bed.

It can be seen that she actually tried to hold back her strength. At least with such great strength, she was not able to break the bed.

But the problem now is not whether Emma has restrained herself, but Ronnie's performance.

Looking at the empty bed, and then turning around to look at Ronnie who had run behind her at some point, Emma's eyes widened.

"Ronnie, you—!"

"I...what's wrong with me?"

Ronnie looked down at his hands, still in shock as he stared at his two friends who were staring at him.

It was only then that he vaguely remembered that he had just jumped off the bed and ran behind Emma...

No, wait!
He raised his hands and circulated the energy in his body according to the way Li Qi had taught him and let him feel it.

A faint breath emerged from his lower abdomen and gradually flowed into his hands.

Feeling this familiar yet strange airflow, Ronnie's face showed both surprise and confusion:

"I...I think...I have mastered what the teacher called 'qi'..."
