Quenched long order

Chapter 56 The Function of the Soul Body

A simple addition will resolve the slightly awkward atmosphere.

Sauer judged from the words of the inspector before that explaining the level of the quencher is a common thing for the inspector.

"Oh?" The inspector had curiosity in his eyes, "Tell me what you think, Saul."

Sauer smiled and replied: "Every time I think seriously, there will be a voice in my mind that will say what I am thinking. I think this voice is actually similar to 'my own soul'. Although we are all ourselves, we may not understand ourselves or accept ourselves. So whether it is dialogue, deepening connection, or integration, it is a process of gradually accepting ourselves."

After hearing what Sauer said, the inspector nodded slightly, thoughtful, but he did not affirm what Sauer said, nor did he deny and correct it, as if he was in contact with a new idea.

After a long time, the inspector said: "There is nothing wrong with your understanding. Perhaps the process of integration is the process of accepting oneself."

Speaking of such things, he changed the topic and continued: "What do you think 'soul body' is, Saul?"

When Saul heard this question, he froze for a moment, frowned slightly and said, "My own soul?"

"Then what does the 'soul body' look like?" the inspector continued to ask.

"People..." Shaoer shook his head. If the so-called "soul body" refers to his own soul, then his appearance is exactly the same as his own, but the tone of the inspector seems to be vetoing this answer, so the answer must not be his appearance, but something else, "... Isn't it a person? Or is it not his own face? If so, is it his own soul?"

He was very confused.

He didn't know anything about the soul. After all, this was something he had never studied in depth in the original world. In fact, he couldn't imagine that he would study this aspect, unless he was already in his old age, and he could only seek a little psychological comfort in the mystic, so that he would not be swallowed by the fear of death.

Seeing Sauer's puzzled eyes made the inspector feel much more at ease. He suddenly found that the young man in front of him was very much like some smart students he had brought. These students are naturally better at observation than others and have their own ideas. But no matter how smart they are, there will always be some things they don't understand, and they are prone to misjudgments. This is the effect of accumulated experience.

"Remember, Saul, the 'soul body' will definitely not be exactly the same as yourself. It may or may not be in human form, but it must have a specific image, because the so-called 'soul body' is a manifestation of your own ability to exist independently after your own abilities have grown to a certain stage. Having a 'soul body' means that even in the face of false gods that surpass mortals, or disasters that are completely incomprehensible, you can rely on your own abilities to fight against them..."

Speaking of this, the inspector felt that there seemed to be a problem with his narration. He immediately stopped and thought carefully, "...If you really encounter these two situations, I still suggest that you find a way to escape first. This is the most correct choice. The former, that is, the false god, can negotiate most of the time, but you may not understand his thoughts, and he, in most cases, doesn't care about your life."

"Fight with your own ability?" Saul raised his right hand, rubbed his shoulders, glanced not far away, then put his gaze on the inspector, and asked: "...Why do you say that? Could it be that when there is no 'soul body', when encountering these two situations, even the quencher's own ability cannot be used?"

Is it because of the large gap in strength?

he thought.

The inspector nodded solemnly, as if recalling some past events, "You guessed right, if the gap between the two sides is too large, the quencher without the 'soul body' may not be able to use his unique ability." His tone was a little regretful, "Therefore, only the quencher with the 'soul body' is truly qualified to explore this world, and having a soul body itself means reaching the 'Dading' level."

"Then, Master Inspector, do you have a 'soul body'?" Saul asked cautiously.

silence.

It was as if the surroundings had been muted.

The inspector looked at the young man in front of him and thought for a long time, but there was no boredom or anger in his eyes, but confusion. This question made him fall into thinking.

"Duncan!" A shout came. On this island, if there were no very important matters, there were not many people who would dare to disturb the two of them, and Commander Haver was one of them.

The inspector turned his head and looked in the direction of the commander. He saw the commander with white temples pointing his right hand at the setting sun on the sea level, and said loudly, "It's getting late, it's time to clean up the outside."

Outside, of course, refers to the residential area and the trading market. Perhaps, there is a little further away, the miners' living area between the trading market and the mine. Perhaps, it is necessary to investigate the situation of the mine. No one can ignore the ominous black smoke floating over the island.

"I'm not close." The inspector gave his own answer, and then he smiled, and the solemn expression just now disappeared, and then he said in a relaxed tone: "You have been busy all day, and you are also tired. Take a rest first, only those who can rest will work." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand and patted Sauer on the shoulder.

This time, Saul did not avoid, he nodded to express his understanding.

The inspector withdrew his right hand, turned and walked towards the commander.

Saul turned around and walked towards Garland's direction. After being kidnapped by Regis, Garland was slightly injured, and now he was half-sitting on the ground to rest.

On the way, he recalled what the inspector had just said, and organized it in his mind.

The state after the quencher's awakening ability is called "sprout". At this time, the quencher will not be much stronger than ordinary people in the face of disasters, because just having potential does not mean that the soul becomes stronger instantly.

According to the description of the "soul body" later, in fact, it is very likely that most of the quenchers with potential will die because they face too powerful disasters directly before awakening their abilities.

If so, will there be such a situation?Some organizations or individuals deliberately spread some not-so-serious disasters in order to create more quenchers...

Thinking of this, Sauer shook his head. There may be such a situation, but it is obviously not on Stewart Island. Moreover, from the words of the mystic Natalie and the inspector Duncan, it can be inferred that the probability of ordinary people awakening as quenchers is not high. On this basis, the death rate during the growth process is also very high. Moreover, the most important point is that quenchers, as people with special abilities, do not seem to be willing to become slaves of others in various senses.

He retracted the thought and organized it again.

The level after "Sprout" is called "Spin High". It sounds a bit like the growth process of trees, and it seems that it has little to do with the word "quenching". From this point of view, the level of the quencher is more like a common name after the predecessors groping, rather than a name stipulated by a certain institution or organization. Moreover, "Spin High" means that it should rise in a spiral manner. Unlike common trees, it is more like describing the process of the quencher's self-improvement, like a spiral, stable upward.
