The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 225
I watched Zhou Xuanye slashing at the Shimen with the ghost sword with an ugly face, feeling the increasingly blurred consciousness, knowing that I couldn't delay any longer, I got up and pressed Zhou Xuanye's hand holding the sword.

Neither of us spoke, our eyes were facing each other, and neither of us was willing to give in. Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After a while, he blinked, and his expression showed a sense of weakness. I knew that he was also seriously poisoned, and he couldn't last too long.So I said: "You said that I am light-headed and die early in my life. In fact, my life should have died a long time ago. I have earned it if I can live until now. Only if you give up, you will gain. If you don't let go , then I will do it myself."

Saying so, I pulled out the dagger.To be honest, when a person who really wants to live is faced with a situation where he has to commit suicide, this feeling is quite painful.How on earth should I kill myself?Do you want to poke yourself in the stomach like the people in the TV series?It is definitely impossible to die, at least it will die very slowly.

poke the heart?
There are ribs blocking the outside, how painful it is to poke in.

Cut your throat then?Thinking about the opening of the throat makes my scalp tingle.

How about... how about cutting your wrists and bleeding?This death shouldn't be very painful.I gesticulated with the dagger on my wrist. Seeing this, Zhou Xuanye finally sighed and said, "Okay, you have this kindness. I will take it for senior brother and Linlin."

It's better to do it yourself than to do it yourself. I handed him the dagger and said, "Hurry up."

Zhou Xuanye revealed a tangled expression, and said, "Actually, there is no need to die, there is a compromise."

A compromise?
Still don't have to die?

I regained my energy immediately, feeling a sense of joy that I had stepped into the gate of hell, and hurriedly said, "What a compromise method."

Zhou Xuanye said in a deep voice, "Alive practice."

He gave me a general introduction to the method of refining alive, that is, using the method of refining corpses to refine living people.The birth of this method was actually to save people.In ancient times, the economy and trade were underdeveloped. If some people who were seriously ill needed any special medicinal materials, they could only find them temporarily.But the patient couldn't wait for that time at all, so a strange corpse refining technique was developed, which turned the living into something like a 'corpse refining'.

In this way, the condition will stay at the time of refining the corpse, and then buy time to wait for the needed medicinal materials.

This method also has side effects, and it consumes human potential.If a person's energy is one thousand, then refining the corpse is equivalent to extracting most of the energy of the living person in advance. In layman's terms, even if it is cured, the physical fitness will be greatly reduced in the future. There is a risk of premature death.

This method is similar to the "human cryonics technology" that is currently under development. Patients who are about to suffer from terminal illnesses are frozen by freezing technology, and when the disease can be treated by medicine, they are thawed and revived by scientific methods.

A considerable number of terminally ill volunteers have participated in the cryonics technology, and most of them are foreigners who dare to take risks.Some of them are elderly rich people. They are not sick, but they don't want to die, so they hope to freeze themselves temporarily, and then thaw themselves out when human beings have anti-aging and life-prolonging methods.

Of course, this 'cryonic experiment' is very expensive, not everyone can participate, so many of the people who can participate in this experiment are rich.They will have a long sleep, and it may be hundreds of years before they wake up again.

Compared with this cutting-edge technology, our ancestors had already invented a similar method thousands of years ago, that is, refining corpses from living people.

However, in the early stage of refining corpses, living people will suffer considerable pain, and when they wake up later, their bodies will gradually weaken, so there is still a gap with the current freezing technology.

I heard this, and said: "This is not bad, at least you don't have to die. So, how long will this process take?"

Zhou Xuanye said: "Strictly speaking, it will take about a day, but we don't have that much time, so we can only use the quick method. With this method, you will suffer more pain, and you will also..." He didn't say anything It's over, but his expression says it all.

I didn't say much, covered my mouth with the cloth, took a deep breath to calm my heart that was beating constantly because of fear, and said, "Come on then."

Zhou Xuanye is a very decisive person. Now that he has made a decision, he will not say more, let alone be hypocritical.Immediately, he took out three things from the equipment bag he carried with him.

The same is a corpse control wedge, the same is a small finger-long porcelain bottle, and the same is a vermilion blade with a strange shape.

Everything that follows is fast.Zhou Xuanye pulled out the cork from the top of the porcelain bottle, handed it to me, and let me drink.I know time is precious, and I didn't bother to ask what he handed me, so I raised my head and drank it into my mouth.

As a result, I couldn't stand the smell at all, it was too smelly and disgusting, my body was one step ahead of my thoughts, and I was about to vomit as soon as I lowered my head.Right here, Zhou Xuanye was extremely fast. He raised his fist and pressed it under my chin, raising my head, and pressed his other hand on my throat. The physiological stimulation made me have to grumble, Swallow that thing.

This vomit, the stench and sticky nausea, almost killed me, and I had to use all my energy to restrain my cramped stomach from vomiting it out.At this moment, Zhou Xuanye held a corpse wedge in his hand, and suddenly pierced towards my shoulder socket.

First there was a sharp pain that numbs the mind, but in the next second, the sharp pain disappeared without a trace.

My body couldn't move at once.

To be precise, I feel like I have no control over my body.

The hands are still my hands, and the feet are still my feet, but I feel that they no longer belong to me, but seem to belong to another person. The only thing left of me is my thoughts.

The brain that was groggy and unconscious due to poisoning before also regained clarity at this moment.

Naturally, the pain is also gone.Then, Zhou Xuanye shot very quickly, and stabbed one on my right shoulder and two thighs, four in total, and I didn't feel anything.In the end, there was only one left in Zhou Xuanye's hand, and he said to me: "This is the last one." As he spoke, he swiped the dagger on his left index finger, and blood burst out from his finger in an instant, and Zhou Xuanye was covered with blood. Put your fingers together, spread out your right palm, and make a talisman with your left hand in the air. Finally, the bloody finger is on the center of your right hand, leaving a blood mark.

He used his bloody right hand to stroke my forehead from top to bottom.Originally, I couldn't even control my eyelids, but with his stroking, my eyelids closed by themselves, and the surrounding instantly fell into darkness.

In less than a moment, there was a sudden silence around.

Originally, this place was quiet enough, but at least I could still hear the sound of breathing, but for a moment, I couldn't even hear the sound of breathing.The surroundings fell into absolute darkness and silence.During this process, I don't know what Zhou Xuanye did, but within a few seconds, a sharp pain suddenly rose from the limbs.

The feeling was beyond words. It was not a muscle pain, but a pain rising from the bones, as if a huge nail was passing through the bones of a person.At this moment, my painful brain froze, but I couldn't move, make a sound, or perceive anything outside.

God, this is not a severe pain, it is clearly painful to death.This painful feeling is very similar to the pain after eating the Nether Corpse Worm, but at that time I could still howl and roll all over the floor, but now I can only bear it alive.

This is how the seconds feel like years. Later, I lost consciousness of the pain at all, and felt as if I had been in pain for a long time. In this pain, my thoughts were like a tight string, and finally broke with a snap.

After this string broke, I was in an unspeakable situation.

There was no thought at all, but I could hear a voice that seemed to come from far away.

It's the ringtone.

The ringing never stopped.

When I woke up, I found myself standing upright in the corner. When I opened my eyes, I saw a camp lantern on the ground not far away. The dim yellow light illuminated everything around me. dark.I just woke up, my brain was very stiff, and I kept a straight posture. I stood in the corner for a long time, and the feeling of my body slowly recovered.

It hurts, it hurts so much, it hurts so much that I want to swear, my whole body feels like I’ve been run over by a big truck, my muscles are so painful that I fall to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, my brain slowly resumed thinking.

Correct.

We were hunted down by the men of Feather Gate.

Entered the tunnel full of organs.

In order to save Zhou Xuanye and the others, I sacrificed myself...

Now this place...

I looked it over, it should be a stone room, not the tunnel it used to be, so after that, Zhou Xuanye should use me to escape.

But... why am I the only one left now?

What is this place?
How long has it been since I became a refining corpse?

There was a dead silence around, and with the lights on, I saw a black equipment bag not far from me.I thought of Xiao An, looked at my wrist immediately, and called out: "Xiao An, Xiao An! Can you come out? Tell me, what's the situation now?"

The beads on the wrist were very quiet and no one answered me.

I tried another name: "Brother, come out."
This call, really called out.A puff of gray smoke drifted out from the altar, gradually turning into a little baby with a vague face.When it was not cut by Zhou Xuanye before, its body and appearance were very solid, but now even its face is blurred, as if it cannot be formed, it actually looks quite scary.

"Hmph, you know how to call me now!" It thrust its waist, turned its head angrily, showing that it didn't want to talk to me.
