After I became the infinite flow boss
Chapter 139 Chapter 139
How should I respond to this question? Bei Heng thought about it.
For creatures that exist as "bodies", the body is always important, because the body maintains consciousness and is the carrier of consciousness. When the body's life ends, consciousness also ends. Therefore, from the perspective of existence, the body is necessary.
However, this also depends on how it is explained and what object it is aimed at. For example, if the relationship between the body and consciousness is cut off, the body is actually something that has almost nothing to do with consciousness.
As for Bei Heng himself, at least for him now, the body is not such an important thing. In fact, one of the reasons why Bei Heng went directly into this restaurant and participated in this game with great unexpectedness and difficult to win at once is that even if he failed the game and his body died, he could still change his body and come back.
Therefore, for Bei Heng himself, the body is really not a very important thing. When he was a ghost before, he yearned for the body, but now that changing bodies is like changing clothes, in fact, he already feels that it doesn't matter even if the normal state is the soul state.
However, Bei Heng could not tell whether the other party was asking about his subjective opinion of his body or an objective fact. At the same time, Bei Heng also noticed that when Morris asked this question, the creatures present became more nervous, and the fear visible to the naked eye doubled. Some people's cutlery was scraping on the plate, but they were completely unaware, and their teeth were trembling.
Maybe Morris's question and answer is a game mechanism. If he answered it wrong, this body would probably be scrapped, and there was only one chance.
Suddenly, the situation became tense.
Bei Heng had many thoughts flashing through his mind. His thinking slowed down, and from the outside world's point of view, only one or two seconds had passed.
"It's not that important to me." He said frankly.
"Is it...?"
Morris was completely quiet. Although his expression did not change, he was still gentle and calm, and his eyes did not change at all, but his mood must have changed, but He controlled it very well, and even the creatures with the best eyesight could not understand what He was thinking.
For a moment, Bei Heng thought he had stepped on a landmine, but after a few seconds, he was still alive. Was it just a random question, or did he answer it correctly, or was there another reason?
"Is that so," Morris was silent for a moment, as if he was sighing, and he repeated Bei Heng's answer: "You think... the body is not important."
Bei Heng had a feeling that he was not just repeating it, but seemed to be speaking to other beings, and his tone was somewhat weird.
Unconsciously, the atmosphere of the entire restaurant changed and became dark.
Morris whispered: "But I think that the body... is very important. In the restaurant, people often leave with a lot of food. I am very sad, because every meal is carefully prepared and perfectly matched with nutrition. Only by eating it can you keep your body healthy and work and live well."
Leaving with a lot of food, do you mean those who died halfway through eating? There is no way, after all, people are dead, Bei Heng always feels that it sounds weird.
"The body is the foundation. When you are still healthy, you really need to pay more attention to your body. When problems arise, it may be too late." Morris said again.
Bei Heng was confused and didn't quite understand what He wanted to say.
In addition, the meal had already been served. If it was not dealt with, it would probably trigger some kind of fatal mechanism.
After thinking about it, and referring to the behavior of more than a hundred people in the restaurant in a very short time, Bei Heng looked to the left and was about to take the bottle of wine.
But before he could touch it, Morris said, "Wine hurts the stomach."
"..."
Bei Heng felt a little confused and stopped moving. If he was right, half of the Chimera Restaurant's operating income was earned from wine. As a restaurant owner, was it appropriate for Morris to say this? Although he didn't quite understand the economic logic of this world, after Morris said this, Bei Heng withdrew his hand and his eyes fell on the main meal in front of him.
At this time, "Overeating hurts the stomach, and eating less also hurts the stomach." Morris suddenly said another sentence.
"..." Bei Heng was silent again.
If Morris didn't look like it, and his expression was quite sincere, Bei Heng would think he was deliberately looking for trouble.
Moreover, in just a few words, He mentioned the stomach three times. If He was not different from Zuo Tong and the others and could speak, Bei Heng would have first suspected whether He was the "stomach of the Lord God" himself.
Fortunately, Morris also reflected on himself and said shyly: "I'm very sorry, I said this subconsciously, don't mind me."
"... It's okay."
Bei Heng slowly picked up the tableware. He had never eaten food, so he was still a little bit averse to eating.
He felt that he might not like the feeling of foreign objects entering his body because it would be... polluted.
Suddenly thinking of the word pollution for no reason, Bei Heng's face changed slightly and his movements paused again. It was obviously such a simple thing as eating, which almost any living being could do, but Bei Heng found that he was unexpectedly very repulsive. He couldn't say what the specific reason was. It had nothing to do with food, it was simply... repulsive.
How could this be? For the first time, he found that he had such a side, and he actually repulsed eating.
Of course, this hesitation was seen by Morris. After all, Morris was right opposite him. Or rather, Bei Heng's every move could not escape his eyes.
If the analysis is correct, the interval between serving the meal and starting to eat cannot exceed 15 minutes at most. Although I don’t know why, it’s probably because the food will get cold.
Because of Morris’s interference, more than ten minutes have passed since the meal was served. If I don’t eat within four minutes, this body will probably be scrapped.
Bei Heng didn’t expect that he would encounter a crisis in this matter, so he had to prepare himself mentally and started to use the tableware again.
At this time.
“If the stomach doesn’t send out hunger signals, will the creatures never know that they should eat.” Morris didn’t know what he was expressing, and the timing was a bit too much.
Bei Heng’s movements were a little stiff, and his eyes began to be a little subtle.
When people outside heard Morris say this, they couldn’t help but compare it with other live broadcasts of [Cooking]. So, the players of [Cooking] are so "hungry" just because the stomach sends out "hunger" signals?
In the eyes of this humanoid, are the creatures who come to the restaurant to eat the same as the players who died tragically outside? They just need to eat when they are hungry?
"Hey, hey, are you kidding me? Do you have to be so real? You don't need to act so hungry." The player was terrified.
But Morris continued.
"Why can't you pay more attention to your body? Even if it's not the stomach, other parts of the body need to be paid attention to."
"Aren't the soul and the body the closest? Why are the closer things the less valued? Is it only when there are problems, resistance, and loss that they can be taken seriously?"
He seemed to be discussing a very serious issue, his eyes were very serious, not like talking to himself, but asking Bei Heng's opinion.
Logically, He just asked the stranger at the same table because he had no seat. Now he suddenly talked about these topics with Bei Heng at the opposite table, which was quite subtle in terms of emotion and reason.
"What do you want to say..." Bei Heng put down the tableware.
It was no longer a psychological construction issue. If the other party kept nagging like this, he would find it hard to swallow.
Morris tilted his head and explained, "I'm very sorry, I just have some thoughts, please don't mind."
Before Bei Heng said anything, the players outside couldn't stand it anymore.
"Hey, what do you mean by don't care? You are too suspicious. You have the word suspicious written on your face."
"What's wrong with this game? Isn't it about escape? The NPCs in it are weirder than each other!"
The dead gods also felt timid and looked at each other, but their methods could not affect the inside after all. The information they could know was actually similar to that of the players. Most of them felt that this chef-like creature was not human, had a high status, was extremely terrifying, and could not be easily provoked.
But what is the relationship between the humanoid suspected to be [lazy] and the other party? What are they going to do in the game?
With many doubts, in the screen, after a long silence, Beiheng's eyes fell on the food in front of him again. There were only two minutes left, and he had to start quickly.
However, Beiheng frowned unconsciously.
Morris noticed Beiheng's hesitation and asked again: "Don't you like food?"
"It's not that I don't like it..." Beiheng looked at him subtly, and his eyes showed some displeasure.
Morris smiled faintly and said, "Do you think that food is a foreign body and you don't allow foreign bodies to enter your body, so you don't eat?"
"..." Bei Heng was surprised and couldn't help wondering if He could read minds or something, and he was so accurate.
"The stomach actually understands living beings the best. Compared with other parts, such as the brain, heart, and especially the eyes, the eyes can easily confuse living beings. Sir, maybe you know that what the eyes see is not necessarily true."
Morris slowly said some irrelevant words, and then got to the point: "It's okay, my dishes should suit your taste. Although food is a foreign body, it will provide us with the nutrients and energy we rely on for survival. With these nutrients and energy, our bodies can survive and prolong our lives, but..."
He said a turn.
Although it sounded a bit weird, Bei Heng was still a little curious about what He was going to say next.
"The body works so hard for its master, but it doesn't get the attention of its master. Sir, maybe you know that some bodies will even wake up as consciousness after the death of their master and work hard to revive their master." Morris looked down, and his expression flashed a trace of sadness.
Bei Heng paused, because he immediately thought of what Morris meant by "some bodies". Isn't that the case with the dead gods outside? The original gods have died, and they are the bodies left behind.
However, unlike human corpses that will decay naturally, they, as divine bodies, contain extremely powerful power in their bodies. Even after thousands of years, they may not be completely corrupted. So the body has consciousness in a long time and begins to think.
And the purpose of these consciousnesses is nothing else, but to revive the original consciousness and regain eternity.
In fact, after hearing Morris's words, the dead gods outside also resonated. They can fully understand what the other party is talking about. The instinct of the body is always to continue as much as possible, and the instructions of the complete consciousness. Even now, they are acting for the desire of consciousness to survive.
The heavens were silent. All of a sudden, the hostility, curiosity and fear disappeared. Everyone felt a little closer to the gentle humanoid creature.
"I'm sorry for saying so much unnecessary words. Sir, you don't want to eat. You probably have no appetite. Don't force yourself. Of course, it may also be that my cooking skills are not good enough to make you have an appetite. I'm very sorry."
Yes, he really has no appetite. Bei Heng looked at Morris and suspected that Morris was the "stomach of the Lord God" because he mentioned the stomach too many times. But if that was the case, why could He speak.
Could it be that He talked so much because he could finally speak?
Did he run into the real one as soon as he arrived? Bei Heng's eyes changed, and he didn't know whether he should sigh that he was lucky or unlucky. Of course, these were just his temporary speculations and could not be confirmed at present.
"But..." Morris's eyes were fixed on the table, and his pupils seemed to be frozen. He suddenly said, "When the body reaches a certain point, it will indeed take revenge on the owner, so I hope you can pay more attention to the body."
Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the restaurant changed, and the air became heavy. The creatures around him began to tremble. Several lurking players not only triggered the mechanism, but also died on the spot at the same time, making heart-wrenching screams. The waiter appeared immediately and quickly cleaned up the bodies, his movements were very nervous.
Boom! There was really thunder outside, and in just a few seconds, dark clouds pressed down on the city, and heavy rain fell.
Even the group of NPCs who were full of weird words were dumbfounded, as if they had never seen such a scene, and they trembled instinctively, their faces pale.
The players outside were all shocked and stared at the live broadcast intently. However, the next second, the live broadcast was cut off without warning and turned to the scene at the entrance of the Chimera Restaurant.
"Damn! Cut here!"
"What's going on? Can someone go over and take a look?"
"Damn it, I'm so concerned."
A group of players cursed.
The gods and demons looked at each other. Just now, all the games were closed. They could no longer send players in, nor could they give instructions to the players inside. The connection between the inside and the outside world was completely cut off. Even the gods and demons with more means could not interfere.
The God of Knowledge looked at Bai Xing. Bai Xing was distracted, with only a body left. His consciousness might have gone back to find his mother. He could not be counted on.
What exactly is going on? Even though the God of Knowledge is knowledgeable, he dare not make a conclusion.
Bei Heng was silent and grabbed the dinner knife with his right hand.
The situation is really bad. Zuo Tong is right. The "stomach of the Lord God" is indeed very dangerous. In His domain, he has almost no means to subdue Him. [Laziness] is far from His opponent.
Boom! Lightning flashed, illuminating the restaurant. The deafening roar made people's scalps numb.
The remaining two minutes had long passed, and Bei Heng, who deliberately did not eat, did not trigger the death mechanism and was still alive. This was beyond Bei Heng's expectations. It can be imagined that the other party adjusted the game mechanism.
"What's wrong with you?" Morris's hands were placed on the table at some point, with his fingers crossed, and his joints were clearly defined, as delicate as a work of art.
His face was gentle, but his eyes were puzzling. He did not look at the present, but at the past or the future.
The distance between the two-person dining table was not far, only about one meter. At such a close distance, if both parties were human, one party could suddenly subdue the other, but unfortunately, neither party had anything to do with humans.
After three consecutive thunders, the silent Bei Heng finally spoke and said, "What you just said does make sense."
Morris's expression changed slightly, and he asked politely, "What do you mean?"
Bei Heng said, "I take back what I said before. The body should indeed be valued if it is unique and irreplaceable."
Morris paused, as if he was a little happy, but he disappeared after hearing the rest, and his eyes were a little heavy.
Bei Heng unconsciously pressed the knife in his hand, looked directly at the other party, and asked, "Do you want to... return to your compatriots?"
Morris was not surprised at all, and slapped the table twice with his fingers. In silence, the atmosphere became more oppressive, and other creatures in the restaurant couldn't help holding their breath and trembling.
He didn't answer Bei Heng's question, but asked, "Anything else, why do you think the body is important?"
Outside, a huge building collapsed, and the fighting between players has developed to this city. Maybe it will soon become a battlefield.
In order to get rid of the pollution of "hunger", some players abandoned their bodies and maintained their souls in special ways, either with puppets or prostheses as a medium, but "hunger" still chased them, because it was not only the body that was hungry, but also the soul.
They miscalculated the means. After losing their bodies, the hunger in their souls was even more unbearable and crazy. When they were still in their bodies, they could still relieve it by killing people, but after only their souls were left, they had to devour each other to stay awake.
The pain of having their souls devoured was too horrible, and almost no one could bear it. They frantically begged for help. Although they could not make any sound, they sent out many thoughts. They could not get help, and most of them could only seek immediate relief in pain.
There was a chill through the rainstorm outside the window.
Incredibly, Bei Heng seemed to have heard countless cries for help, but they did not ask for him, but for the power that could save them.
However, despite this, there seemed to be a kind of divinity in him that pitied them and mourned their destruction.
But now was not the time to care about them.
Morris controlled the entire space and could modify the rules of the game at will. It can be said that unless the status was above Him, any existence that entered His domain would die.
This is just like a life-and-death quiz game.
If you don't please Him, the consequences are unpredictable. Although Bei Heng didn't know why the "God's stomach" would target him, it had already happened.
However, he didn't deliberately change his mind just now. He just had some insights after listening to His words.
After a moment of silence, Bei Heng answered Morris.
"The body is important because the body has always been with me."
Morris was stunned, as if he was quite surprised, and his dark golden eyes suddenly became brighter.
Is this answer okay? Bei Heng was just thinking of Zuo Tong and the others, and couldn't help but say what was in his heart. After thinking about it carefully, it should be okay to say this, although they are the bodies of the Lord God.
Bei Heng grasped the dinner knife in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
Unexpectedly, Morris asked again the next second: "Anything else?"
Bei Heng paused, and saw Morris opposite him with a face full of expectation.
