Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 284 Do you also want eternity?
"Very good." Zheng Fan could only agree in the end, "I accept it, then let's start preparing. As the city lord, it's easy for you to gather the conditions for the letter-sending ceremony, and this tower just happens to be useful."

The Undead King nodded to indicate that there was no problem: "I will make arrangements, but I still have some things to deal with, so I will have to wait for some time."

"A dictator doesn't need to make himself so tired." Zheng couldn't help but speak out.

"If you collect their spiritual essence, you will be responsible for them. And recently there are those evil-minded people causing chaos in the city. I don't want to waste time paying attention to them, but since I have to contact Dadu, I naturally have to stabilize the rear first." The Undead King replied.

"You mean the parades?"

"Isn't that Mardi Gras?"

Zheng Fan turned his head to look at Jiang Si, who pouted and looked away.

The Undead King broke the embarrassment and said, "Yes, there are rats who intend to challenge our authority in my world."

"How long will it take you?" Zheng asked back.

“It can be as short as a few months or as long as a year.”

"It takes so long to deal with the rats? Isn't this backyard a bit too messy?" Zheng complained.

"It will take this much time to bring this world into my hands." The tone of the Undead King remained the same, and with his electronically synthesized voice, he felt like a machine.

Jiang Si suddenly realized something when he heard this: "Wait, do you mean to rule the world by stabilizing the rear?"

"This world originally belonged to me, but it is very troublesome to manage it concretely, so I only chose the form of a city. And now there are those who have established their own mountain, and I am too lazy to care about them, but they are getting more and more aggressive and stretching their hands under my nose. I will take them down all at once this time." The Undead King said calmly.

Jiang Si and Zheng Fan looked at each other.

Wow, I originally thought it was a "village chief" with a chuunibyou syndrome who called his own city his own world, but now it turns out that the master of the world is lazing around here and enjoying his retirement?

Whether it is true or false, you will know it by looking at what Mr. Wang does next.

"Do you mind?" Zheng objected to Jiang Si's question.

"It's okay for a while, but if it takes too long, it might not work. There are corpses everywhere here, and even if they move, it can't relieve my desire to kill." Jiang Si shook his head.

"I just need a method. As for her, I can prepare the overlapping ceremony for you first." Mr. Wang was also very thoughtful.

"It's troublesome."

"Then let's discuss it again." Zheng Fan suddenly had an idea and came behind Jiang Si and put his hand on her shoulder: "It just so happens that there is a junior who has just set foot on the road to eternity here."

"Ah?" Jiang Si was dumbfounded. How come she didn't know about this?

“Oh? Are you also chasing eternity?” The Undead King glared at him with his terrifying red eyes.

Jiang Si stood there in a daze, and Zheng Fan pressed his head to make him nod.

"She is quite talented. She voluntarily gave up her life and turned into a corpse. Moreover, she has reached her current level in just one month since she became a zombie. Mr. Wang, you can guide her first and then the next eternity."

Upon hearing this, the Undead King's eyes flashed red, and he looked Jiang Si up and down carefully like a laser scan.

"Indeed, she is very talented. I have tried some experiments on other corpses, but it is difficult to find a foundation as good as hers." Then, the Undead King nodded in approval.

It paused for a moment, then continued, "Since we are both pursuers, let's work together."

Jiang Si: “…”

So when the hell did I want eternity?!
That kind of thing is useless if you want it!
"Then I'll leave it to you. Sometimes when she gets crazy, just ignore her and give her a few sandbags to chew on and she will be quiet." After saying that, Zheng Fan clapped his hands and ran away, leaving Jiang Si with a perfect smile before leaving.

For a moment, Jiang Si and Mr. Wang were the only ones left in the Immortal King's office facing each other.

"I can see that you are still confused. It is indeed difficult to feel down to earth when chasing after illusory things." It was still the Undead King who broke the silence.

Jiang Si really wanted to say that what he was confused about was not what you said, but when he opened his mouth, he didn't know how to refute in a harmonious way without offending the other party.

According to Mr. Devil, he will be her senior and teacher in the future, so her attitude should be better. "You can deepen your understanding in the process of learning. Well... I still have a lot of work to do. You can go to my library to study and comprehend some eternal concepts first."

The Undead King reached out and threw a flat golden key to Jiang Si.

"This is……"

"Elevator card. Use it in the elevator to get to my library."

"...Mr. Wang, you are really honest."

"I don't care what you call me. I just hope that as someone who entrusted me with this, I will not disappoint him."

Jiang Si felt that if he lived a miserable life, it would be exactly what Zheng Fan wanted, and he was extremely satisfied.

Thinking about this, do you suddenly feel a little motivated?
"I will work hard."

The Undead King nodded, quite satisfied with Jiang Si's quick correction of attitude: "I will arrange the overlapping ceremony. Whether it is eternal or not, time is precious, please cherish it."

This makes a lot of sense. Could it be that Mr. Immortal King is still an eternal philosophical freak?

Very likely, after all, it always speaks in a very literary way.

The Undead King buried his head in his work, and Jiang Si also walked into the elevator. Following the instructions, he used the key and the elevator went down to the library. When the elevator door opened, Jiang Si saw someone he had never expected.

"You are that...that, who?" Jiang Si couldn't remember it at once. This is also one aspect of "zombification".

"Dan Zhen. On the corpse ball." The female corpse in front of him was also surprised to see Jiang Si appearing here. Upon hearing this, she calmly introduced herself again.

"Yes, Shan Zhen. Why are you here?"

"That's what I wanted to ask as well. But obviously you've also got the king's permission, so I can't ask any more questions. Before that, it's better not to occupy the elevator," Shan Zhen said.

Jiang Si remembered that he was still in the elevator and hurried out.

"I talked with your king. Should I be considered his student now? Junior? Almost." Although Shan Zhen said he didn't want to ask, Jiang Si still answered casually.

"Is that so? You are indeed extraordinary. Even the king treats you this way."

"I shouldn't be the one who's special. I'm just here to make up the numbers." Jiang Si was speechless when she thought about the way Zheng Fan clapped his hands and threw her here.

Shan Zhen didn't understand, so he explained his own situation: "I am the king's handyman, and I come here regularly to help clean and organize the library."

Jiang Si felt that it might not be that simple. Without a special elevator card, it was impossible to get to the library. It was unusual to be able to come in specially. Moreover, the king's servants had to go out of the city specifically to collect spiritual elements?

And Dan Zhen's degree of decay was very low, which meant that he was one of the more serious corpses, but he was just a servant?
Putting aside some ridiculous speculations, Jiang Si recalled what the Undead King had said before, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Mr. Wang seemed to have said that it had made some attempts similar to hers. In other words, could Dan Zhen be a related experimental subject?
However, although he had a guess, Jiang Si did not say it out loud. Maybe the other person minded this, otherwise he should have said it directly.

"So you are here to study, right? I just finished cleaning up, so I can give you some guidance. The books here are basically Wang's own notes and manuscripts, so it may be a bit confusing for you as a newcomer." Shan Zhen took the initiative to say.

"It's troublesome."

Jiang Si walked through a short passage and opened another door...

Although the previous "Wang's Office" was very disappointing, the endless bookshelves that appeared before my eyes successfully restored that impression.

A library? This is a big library!

"You just said... these are all whose manuscripts?" Jiang Si said hesitantly, pointing at the library in front of him.

And Shan Zhen calmly replied: "Yes."
