Looking at the Pi Walker who suddenly jumped out from the darkness in front of him, Jin Dongxi clenched his fists and looked unhappy.

Chapter 50 The Wandering Person

later.

"Ms. Ruan Mei, are you really not planning to go see the lord with Anna and the others?" asked Enotia.

"It's okay, I trust them." Ruan Mei nodded and opened the door of the hotel.

Looking at Ruan Mei who had already walked into the house, Enotia shrugged. He was not surprised by Ruan Mei's decision.

This very elegant oriental lady was completely uninterested in things that did not interest her. Moreover, after interacting with Ruan Mei for a long time, Enotia felt that Ruan Mei seemed to hate communicating with others.

I clearly hate communicating with others, but my choice of words and tone when speaking are just right. I don’t know how I developed this ability.

Enotia shook his head to get rid of the question, then walked into the house.

This was not the first time that Enotia entered Ruan Mei's room. In these short six days, he had come several times, basically to deliver the remains of the monster, and once for a brief physical examination.

Logically, he should have been familiar with the layout of the room, but in reality, he was still amazed by something he had never seen before.

"What's in there?"

What Enotia was talking about was a glass jar placed by the window, as big as a basketball. In the light green solution, a piece of meat was suspended. If you look closely, you can see that the piece of meat is wriggling slightly.

"That's an experimental product." Ruan Mei looked at what Enotia said and replied.

"Experimental subject..." Enotia chewed on the word, and the dull tone made him recall the creepy look in Ruan Mei's eyes when he first met her.

"Just like before, lie down here."

Enotia walked over as he was told and lay down. Just as he was about to ask what kind of examinations would be done today, his head suddenly tilted and he fainted.

"The mutation process has locked in. It seems we've reached the limit of this body."

"Unlocking the genetic shackles? That's a good idea, but it also requires simultaneous transformation. Otherwise, it won't be compatible and will be destroyed due to genetic collapse."

"Perhaps we should implant another detector. I can't sense the power of abundance. I suspect it's been suppressed deep within the Order. A deeper level of detection is needed."

"The anchor's growth is as expected, huh? There have been some... mutations? Being too close to the Devouring Rahu has increased the rate of erosion. The closer to the source, the greater the impact. It seems further modification is needed."

"Use the pollution separated from the body of the Deranged Terror to achieve a dynamic balance and slowly offset it. It seems that we have to let him generate the pollution information himself."

……

Suturing the modified anchor point to the flesh was the final step of the operation. When the brand new Enotia lay on the operating table, Ruan Mei took a step back and looked at her masterpiece.

After removing the cover of the truth, what was lying on the bed was a monster, a combination of a further mutated human and a confused demon. The head that could still be considered a human was wrapped in abscesses and mouthparts, and the limbs were assimilated into thicker tentacles. Factors carrying contaminated information continuously seeped out from under its skin.

It is terrifying and disgusting, but also very beautiful, because this is not a simple stitching, but a new life born from the fusion and transformation at the genetic level, a life that is almost perfect.

The ultimate life, these four words are not an exaggeration when used to describe Enotia.

Next, it was time to wait for him to wake up. Of course, Ruan Mei did not just sit there and wait. She left a note and took the culture tank into the phase space.

"Buddy, she seems to have woken up." Mimi flew to Ruan Mei and pointed at the repair cabin not far away with her little hand.

"Calculating the time, it's about the same." Ruan Mei walked to the repair cabin. On the screen, the lines representing "life" had begun to recover, but the fluctuations were not irregular.

"Hello, how do you feel now?" There was a hint of tenderness in Ruan Mei's tone, and those slightly rising tones soothed the fear in her heart.

"I..." The bubbles in the repair chamber fluctuated for a moment, and a voice rang out, "Where is this?"

"Don't be afraid, this is my laboratory and you have already left there." Ruan Mei stepped forward and pressed her left hand on the glass outer wall of the repair cabin.

"Leave...there? Where is it? I...I...immortal boat...foreign guests...activated planet!" Bubbles suddenly gushed out in large quantities, and the liquid in the repair cabin seemed to be boiling.

"I remember the attack by the Harvest Herald. I saw a planet, a very big planet!"

"Everyone was eaten! But they didn't die, they all turned into monsters!" Her voice gradually became higher, filled with anger and boundless fear, and even with tears in her voice.

"Well, but you survived, and this is not that planet. You are safe now." A faint light was transmitted into the repair cabin as Ruan Mei's palm touched the repair cabin, calming the boiling bubbles inside, or rather, calming her mood.

The number of bubbles gradually decreased, and the repair fluid returned to its original calm state. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. I also have my own goals to achieve." Ruan Mei said.

"Can you tell me what's happening to me now? My memory is still fuzzy, and I can't feel my body anymore."

"Of course you can. During the Battle of Cangcheng, someone uploaded your consciousness into a mechanical bird. Now, I have transferred this consciousness here, into the repair cabin. You now survive in the form of consciousness."

"...Does that mean I no longer have a body?" The voice was silent for a moment.

"Well, I can create a body for you, but it depends on you." Ruan Mei nodded.

"What do you mean?"

"Although your consciousness still exists at this moment, it has been continuously damaged over thousands of years. The damage has already reached its source. Obtaining a physical body will directly cause your consciousness to dissipate." Ruan Mei paused for a moment and continued.

"There is another way, which is to repair your consciousness, which can prolong the existence of your consciousness. However, this will cause a problem." Ruan Mei continued.

"What's the problem?" the voice asked.

"In my hometown, there's a story called the Ship of Theseus. It's a huge ship that can sail on the sea. Because it's been sailing for thousands of years, every plank on the ship has been replaced."

"Let me ask you, is this ship still the same ship that set out to sea in the first place?"

In response to the questions raised by Ruan Mei, the silence lasted for an exceptionally long time.

Finally, after a long silence, she spoke: "World Devourer Rahu, is he still there?"

Chapter 51: Rebirth or Death

"Yes, it still exists."

After hearing Ruan Mei's response, her intuition reflected her inner thoughts in Ruan Mei's heart.

Ruan Mei felt a ball of fire, a blazing fire. Its temperature was extremely hot, but it was hidden under the water, quietly, without revealing any breath.

So, Ruan Mei knew her choice.

As the only survivor of the disaster, even though she is not from the Immortal Boat, she has only one thought in mind, which is to take revenge on the World-Devouring Rāhu.

"I respect your choice and I will make a matching body for you." Ruan Mei responded softly.

"Thank you," the voice thanked him sincerely again, and then asked, "May I know your name?"

"Of course, my name is Ruan Mei."

"Ruan Mei...I will always remember this. Thank you for saving my life."

"I told you, you're welcome. This is a deal. We owe each other nothing." Ruan Mei shook her head. "I'll save you, and you tell me what you know."

"Perhaps in the eyes of a great man like you, this is a fair deal, but for me, this life-saving favor cannot be diluted by a transaction."

She obviously didn't want to continue discussing this topic with Ruan Mei, so after firmly expressing her attitude, she changed the subject: "By the way, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, what do you want to ask?" Ruan Mei had already come to the side of the repair cabin, lowered her head, and tapped something on the control panel with her hands.

"You, you should want to save me, right? Then why do you give me the right to choose?" she asked.

There are two choices, one is to die, the other is to become someone else and survive.

Not everyone would plan to continue living after experiencing a tragic experience. After such a long time, relatives and friends who knew each other might have already died, and things that belonged to them have long disappeared. Even oneself is left with only a vague consciousness and a lonely ghost.

Physiological death, social death, as long as it takes one step forward, it will be real death.

I am really alone and have nothing.

Especially after knowing that the way to survive is to become another self that is not yourself, the feeling of self-destruction becomes even stronger.

To be fair, after hearing the second solution proposed by Ruan Mei, she did hesitate. Would the self with completed consciousness still be the real self?

At that moment, she was tempted by the first option. At least, by doing so, she could die as a human being and die with the concept of "I".

However, her hatred for the World-Devouring Rāhu pulled her back from the path of self-destruction. She wanted revenge, revenge on that high-ranking flesh-and-blood monster.

Ruan Mei stopped working on the body. She looked up at the invisible consciousness in the repair cabin, and a gentle look appeared on her delicate face.

She spoke softly, her voice like the breeze blowing through the willows.

"This is a habit of mine. I think everyone has the right to choose whether to come into this world."

"You... are so gentle." The survivor's consciousness was silent for a long time before she spoke, with a smile in her voice.

"Gentle...ha..." Ruan Mei raised the corner of her mouth slightly and chuckled, "You are the first person to evaluate me like this."

Freak, naughty, lonely, great, genius, cute, beautiful, pretty, inhuman, devil, crazy...

In these eighteen years, Ruan Mei has heard countless comments from the people around her, from the lives she created, and from those who are respectful, wary, and even fearful of her, but she has never heard such comments.

Gentle...what a beautiful word.

"Actually, I don't care. Life and death are both part of my subjects." Ruan Meilian moved lightly and returned to the front of the repair cabin. She looked at the flickering light of consciousness and spoke.

"I believe the desire for life is born from nothing, and you chose death, proving yourself to be an exception. My research can still make progress, which is also a result I am happy to see."

The survivor's consciousness smiled: "Your words make me even more convinced that you are a gentle person."

"Persistence in one's own opinions is also a rare quality."

"Okay, next, I'll block your senses. Don't worry, the process of transferring your consciousness to your body will be accompanied by unbearable pain, but this will make it easier."

"If you feel bored, just take a good nap."

Ruan Mei opened the control panel and saw that the preparation progress had reached 100%.

"Hmm." He fell into a deep sleep.

Ruan Mei pressed the button, the repair fluid began to be discharged, a suction force suddenly appeared, and the light of consciousness continued to tremble under this force.

Then, there was a crisp sound, like the sound of glass breaking. It was the shattering of consciousness, which shattered into piece after piece of crystal clear gems. Some blank consciousness was released into the pile of floating gems.

They gradually approached, devoured, absorbed, and assimilated each other, and finally became a new consciousness, a complete consciousness.

This is the truth of pain, and also the new consciousness. This is why it is the Ship of Theseus. It destroys the original ones one by one, and then builds new ones on the ruins of bricks and tiles.

The new consciousness followed the channel into another life support capsule, where an empty shell was already prepared to receive this consciousness.

The two began to merge, and on the screen of the life support cabin, brain waves finally began to recover.

A moment's wait.

The person sleeping in the life support cabin had his long eyelashes trembled slightly, and then he opened his eyes.

What came into her sight was a completely incomprehensible layout filled with a sci-fi feel, but through the liquid and glass, she saw a person, and her intuition told her that this was the person who saved her life.

"Thank you for saving me. I feel...something strange in my body..." She wanted to thank him and wanted to get closer, but she found that her body was not listening to her.

"Take your time. This is normal. The adjustment between consciousness and body does not happen overnight."

"What do I look like now?" she asked.

"Based on your memories and your former body, I've made some changes," Ruan Mei projected a screen into the life support cabin. "It's still a beautiful Tianhuan girl."

"Is this... me? It does look familiar. Sorry, I don't quite remember what I looked like before." She looked at herself on the screen, feeling both strange and familiar.

Long silver-blue hair, lush green eyes, lake green eyes, and a pair of small wings growing from the back of the head, gently flapping the water.

That's me, but it's not me.

"I think you should choose a name for yourself." Ruan Mei said softly.

"name……"

Yes, I should really choose a name.

When you truly wake up from your body, you will be able to truly realize one thing - your past self is indeed dead, and the one living here is just a new life with memories.

An avenger who seeks only to kill Rahu, the World Devourer.

"Drongo," she said.

Chapter 52 Black Curly Tail

Ruan Mei returned to the hotel at the right time. As soon as she landed, Enotia, who was lying on the bed, opened her eyes.
