Gunfire, Punk & Necromancers

Chapter 79 Chapter 77

"What happened just now? It's not that you restricted me from leaving my seat, but directly controlled my actions!"

After teleporting Hill Lee and Dr. Booker away, Zhuang Xuteng questioned the Lich Master.

A pink skull appeared, staring at Zhuang Xuteng with empty eyes.Master Lich used silence to express his thinking, and then used a calm voice to calm Zhuang Xuteng's emotions.It said softly, "I don't know."

"You don't know? This is your palace and space, and the pillars are full of your spells. How could you not know?"

"I really don't know, because I, like you, are experiencing the current situation for the first time. I am equally unfamiliar, ignorant, and even terrified." The Lich Master said: "It stands to reason that the two of us should be strictly separated. I I can't control you, and you can't interfere with me."

"It was you who got into my body at the beginning, so it's not up to you to decide what effect it will have?"

"The world doesn't depend on my will. I didn't come to you to control you to obtain a body. You are always just a transition, a carrier for my continued existence in this world. In this matter, I don't need to lie to you , and I don’t bother to lie to you.”

Zhuang Xuteng frowned and asked, "You don't mean to stabilize me by saying this, to prevent me from committing suicide or revealing to the company that I have a living shadow?"

"I do want to stabilize you, but this is not the ultimate goal. Well... I understand that you are full of doubts in your heart, and I am the same, but I am more mature than you." Master Lich floated in front of Zhuang Xuteng and said: "You Have you found that you are smarter than before, and your ability to adapt to changes has also become stronger?"

"I have this feeling, maybe I am very suitable to be a mercenary..."

"Listen to your own voice, you are not confident at all." The Lich Master said: "I found that part of my intelligence has been transferred to you, or you have absorbed part of my mind. You believe that you did not do it on purpose, But it did happen, and I don't know what the future holds. Chances are you're going to get really smart and I'll be sucked dry by you and disappear."

Zhuang Xuteng scratched his head, then he clenched his fist and hammered heavily on the armrest of the throne, and said, "You don't mean to make me feel sympathetic by saying this, but just to make me think in another way and calm down! But... with my original intelligence, I It is impossible to understand what you mean so quickly! I have really become smarter, and it is very likely that I have absorbed your intelligence, and this is the most terrible problem! I believe that you will not give me intelligence on purpose."

"Some things are beyond my expectations and control."

"Since it was unexpected, let's talk about the known facts." Zhuang Xuteng calmed down and said, "Tell me about you, what happened before you found me?"

The pink skull quietly suspended in the air, and nodded after a while. "I am a necromancer. The main content of my research is immortality. The main method is to create an acceptable state of suspended animation. Because of my success, I am very respected and sought after. I have my own castle and territory. I have my own family and Students. Of course, my family is at least ten generations away, because my success is difficult to replicate."

"I have completed the stable survival in the skeleton form, and the ghost state survival that completely abandons the physical body is almost the same, but I can completely deceive death and reach the stage of sharing the life with the universe. It is just a disaster that befell my world, no The perfect method of immortality led to the death of all. In the face of disaster, I only had time to protect my castle with magic."

"I overestimated my own strength. My spells only made the death in the protected area slow and painful. In the end, I was alone. Those who died condensed great resentment..." The Lich Master looked Zhuang Xuteng nodded slowly, and said, "Yes, the dead soul becomes a shadow, just like the relationship between plants and coal, fish and shellfish and oil."

Zhuang Xuteng looked at his hands and shuddered: "We have been using corpses..."

"This is the way it is. Every bit of flesh and blood in your body comes from the remnants of some other object, and you will eventually become a part of other objects. Unless you can transcend this universe, you will be spinning in this cycle." Lich The master said, "When I couldn't find any other living beings within the spell's surroundings, I kept expanding the spell wall, pushing, pushing, pushing, forming what you call the Wall of Sighs."

"Through the wall, I saw the people of your world, which made me very happy. So I came through the wall, but underestimated the protective effect of the magic barrier on me, my body was destroyed, and immediately changed from a lich state to Ghost, and constantly transformed into a shadow follower state. So I wrapped myself with the strongest shadow follower in the vicinity to avoid continuing to perish, and at the same time lost the ability to move. Finally, the shadow follower was discovered and collected by your people."

"I saw that they were constantly absorbing the energy of the shadows, so I tried to escape from the cage. I was very weak at the time, and although every body nearby could accommodate me, you are undoubtedly the most suitable, just like a pair of particularly comfortable Gloves." The Lich Master finally said: "I just possessed and gave some energy to help your body recover. I don't want to use your gloves to replace my hands! But now I find that the gloves are on my hands , getting tighter and tighter. I don't know if it will replace my hand."

Master Lich immediately fell into a long silence, allowing time for Zhuang Xuteng to digest the information.

After a while, Zhuang Xuteng spoke, and he said: "I am me, you are you, this is my ideal result."

"Yes, I think so too." The Lich Master said: "Considering your serious injuries that night, even if you were occupied by me in the end, you would have lived a long time. But on the other hand, if my intelligence And knowledge is absorbed by you, I will be completely at a loss."

"You can't say that." Zhuang Xuteng shook his head and said, "You have found a good body to hide and can survive, and you have earned it."

"I shouldn't have used such a good body. The flip side of comfort is disaster, and it happens almost every time."

Zhuang Xuteng smiled slightly and said, "Don't be so emotional. Master Lich, if you find a body that is more suitable than mine, you can completely possess it, and you will be out of danger, right? If you need a person with a zombie physique, I should can be found for you."

"It's not that simple. I need to cast a spell to possess me, but the surrounding environment doesn't support me doing that. Before I possessed you, I first had to consume the shadow I used to hide—according to what you said, it was a The top-level living shadow slave—with the help of its energy, I temporarily created a spell-casting environment that is very close to my original world. Therefore, you must not only find the right person, but also have top-level living shadow slaves to assist. And you are too poor."

"In other words, we can only maintain the status quo for the time being?"

"Yes, nothing can be done for now."

"I don't think so." Zhuang Xuteng said: "You gave me your intelligence, and my body became your container. I think this is a process of mutual exchange, and it is very similar to water flowing from a high place to a low place. If I can take the initiative to become smarter, or catch up with you more in terms of knowledge, can it slow down or even stop this flow?"

The Lich Master thought about it carefully, and replied: "Your analogy is very interesting, but I'm not sure that's the reason for the loss of intelligence. Hmm... Although it may be a stupid way, I don't have a better way .If you are willing to learn knowledge that is completely useless in your world, I can teach you. Through learning, your mind can indeed become more and more advanced. My students can do it, and people in the two worlds, Structurally there is almost no difference."

"Two brains are better than one brain. If I learn more things, maybe I can help you figure out a solution, right?" Zhuang Xuteng then said: "I'll also exercise more, so you can have a better mental health." A comfortable house, that’s a good thing, right? Even if it’s useless in the end, at least I can relieve your boredom.”

Master Lich nodded slowly, agreeing.

Unwarranted suspicions can lead to conspiracy theories, and the upper limit of conspiracy theories is related to imagination, and has nothing to do with factual situations and efforts to solve problems.The two people reached an agreement, no longer entangled in the unsolvable problem of who controls who, and avoided internal friction.No matter how much two people disagree on the matter of ultimate destiny, it is wise to cooperate in the field of understanding before knowing it.

"Master Lich, how did that flamboyant person offend you before? I have never seen you get so angry. You are usually quite cold..."

It's almost like which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted. The anger of Master Lich was aroused by Zhuang Xuteng again, but this time Zhuang Xuteng was prepared, and kept telling himself to be calm, and to find out the source of anger through careful analysis, so as to put the witch Master Yao found out and suppressed his emotions, so this time he was not controlled.

"When I left the Wall of Sighs, my Lich's body exploded and turned into countless fragments. After a long period of fusion and training, that body is not only extremely strong, but also very precious, which can be called a work of art. That guy before, his shadow implant carrier is a fragment of my body: a finger bone."

"Are you angry because you used your corpse?" Zhuang Xuteng was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood.The question here is not "what to use", but "what to do with it".That guy implanted one of the Lich Master's fingers in his crotch, and...

"You have every reason to be angry." Zhuang Xuteng nodded, then pointed to the corpse and said, "Do you want me to take out that part of the body?"

"..." Master Lich thought for a while, and finally said: "Okay. Thank you."
