MTL - Unlimited Cycles of Death-Chapter 174 Return and End 29 终结 Understanding of the Self.

Thousands of corpses piled up like a mountain alien, this is just only seen in Mu Chen's sight. There may be more corpses in places that Mu Chen hasn't seen.

Because the alien spaceship has a larger internal space than Mu Chen imagined, it may have functions such as space expansion and space extension.

This allowed the aliens to free up many rooms to house these bodies.

At the same time, the existence of corpses also supports the fact that a large number of aliens have died.

This is a puzzling point. Obviously, these alien visitors have the technology of "eternal life", but they are not used to resurrect their companions, but let the large number of dead bodies lie in the "coffin".

Although these "coffins" seem to be a kind of life support device, the liquid and connected equipment in the "coffin" seem to keep the trunk fresh.

But so many "coffins" are piled here, saying that they don't need to consume Mu Chen and don't believe it ... then suppose that these devices consume electricity. Mu Chen thinks that the power consumption alone is a lot of expense.

Many questions forced Mu Chen to paint various assumptions in her mind.

The first hypothesis is the cause of death of this group of aliens. If they are caused by accidents during space travel, they will cause mass deaths.

If this assumption is true, then Mu Chen feels that the most important thing they should do now is to drive the spacecraft back to her mother star to rest, or directly send a distress signal for the mother star's rescue.

However, no matter whether it is returning to the home star or sending a distress signal, these two options, the alien who experimented on Mu Chen did not do it, but went to Earth to tinker with a marginal world.

At the same time, he ran shamelessly in front of human beings, demanded cooperation and help, and lied to those innocent and kind guys that he was only an interstellar traveler, and casually rested the spacecraft when passing by the earth. The appearance of the marginal world is a mistake he accidentally made, and he is working hard to make up for it!

This situation will inevitably make Mu Chen wonder whether this alien has no place to go back to at all? That's why the body of the companion in the house is left alone, do you have to do well on earth?

This possibility is very high, but Muchen cannot be 100% sure. Perhaps for the aliens, the energy consumption of the corpse life support equipment is not large, and the soul or consciousness of the companion can also be stored in the marginal world. Therefore, these corpses are left in this way, and it is not a thing to be a display for 300 years.

The second assumption is that these bodies are not corpses.

Because the aliens themselves have said that on their planet, if people die, their bodies age or are destroyed, they can save their consciousness first, wait for a new body, and then move their consciousness in.

As a result, the hundreds of thousands of shells placed in the spaceship may not be Mu Chen's "corpse", but a freshly baked "new shell".

But so many "new flooding shells" mean that there are corresponding and numerous souls waiting for these shells, which also confirms the dilemma of the death of a large number of aliens and the soul's nowhere to go.

Immediately after the incident went back and forth and came back to the same question ... why do you leave so many companions in their shells? You have to stay on the earth for more than three hundred years. During this period, you have also exhausted the means to promote the birth and development of the marginal world and promote the abnormal death of many human beings.

Mu Chen thought about it, and finally came up with an idea. What if this alien really has no place to go back?

The home star and civilization are extinct. This spaceship and the small number of aliens carried on it may be their last blood and hope.

In the long and long space voyage, the people on the spacecraft died or hibernated one by one. When the last person was left, the spacecraft reached the earth.

It goes without saying that the next thing is to come to such a "lot of life" and "the environment and resources are more suitable" planet.

For this group of alien visitors who are almost exhausted, it is like an oasis in the desert.

However, the aliens did not immediately occupy the earth and enslave humans with a thunderbolt, which may be because it also encountered a problem.

The bodies of these aliens are not adapted to the environment of the earth, and the earth ’s air is toxic to them. If they do n’t want to wear a “space suit” or wear something like “oxygen mask” to live on the earth, they only have One option.

Transforming the Earth into an environment suitable for them?

No, not to mention how much resources, time and energy it takes to transform the environment. That is to say, after the successful transformation, most of the life on the planet will be extinct because of this, and the ecosystem formed by animals, plants, and microorganisms will collapse in a straight line, which is not much different from directly destroying the planet.

It is naturally impossible for alien visitors to run away to damage the earth. They come here to seek a new home. In order to integrate into this home, they must adapt to the environment here.

For them with "eternal life technology", this should not be difficult. After all, they only need to find a batch of humans, or simply make a batch of human shells, and move the early saved consciousness directly into it. Already.

But somehow they didn't do it, and it was possible ... there was no way to do it.

How does the structure and size of the container affect the inner soul?

This point, Mu Chen and others confined to the small planet of the earth is unimaginable. As long as that alien doesn't give an exact answer, they don't want to know the truth for their whole life.

But then again, there is no difference in knowing the truth or not. At this stage, Mu Chen only needs to figure out that this group of outsiders can't do it.

They can't directly transfer the soul to human beings, so they have experimented on Mu Chen and others to create a test field as large as the fringe world.

This conclusion means that Mu Chen has a chance to make a comeback.

...

At the same time, on the alien spacecraft, Kim was talking to alien creatures disguised as lonely old men.

The old man said to Jin: "I placed too many hopes on Muchen. I gave him Amu's memories, brand new knowledge and strength, strengthened his spirit, made him a 'weapon'. Unfortunately, he is not a machine. ... "

"He has so many emotions, and the complex emotions of human beings are destined that he will not complete the task I gave him, which I had already expected."

Jin stood next to the old man. He could understand every word that the other party said. However, when these words were combined, it was difficult for Jin to understand the meaning of the old man.

Jin also didn't force himself to understand the meaning of the other party's words. His attention was more focused on the surrounding environment. The densely arranged "crystal coffins" shocked him, as well as the strange body inside the coffin ...

Looking around the surrounding situation, it is difficult to control himself. Jin asked the same questions as Mu Chen. Jin asked, "What are these?"

The old man paused and sighed, "Why do you humans like to ask the same questions?"

But the old man still answered Jin, but his answer was slightly different from that when he answered Mu Chen. "These are my dead companions ... They are waiting for a new life, and that day is no longer far away."

"Meaning you are going to resurrect them, using your so-called 'eternal life technology', right?" King felt a little strange, "I always thought you were alone ... because no matter in the past or now, your language and behavior are all Revealed the fact that you are a 'lone wolf', so I thought there should be only one of you on the ship. "

The old man glanced at Jin with a thoughtful glance, and smiled: "I am naturally alone when my companions are dead."

"What would you do then?" Jin clenched his fist unnaturally and tried his best to calm himself down. "Resurrection of the companion and the marginal world you created, is there a relationship between the two?"

"You are more keen than I think. You are very strong in spirit or will. It's a good soul." The old man looked at gold with strange eyes, and seemed to be estimating the value of gold from the look. Makes Kim feel uncomfortable.

"I once told Herqiu that I will help him resurrect Amu and Axin now, a hundred years later, and today, I have fulfilled my promise." The old man looked away from his own eyes and looked at gold. Without going back in any direction, King paused for a moment and followed.

"You said that you fulfilled your promise, but Amu is not really Amu." Jin Gu insisted, "Now Amu's real name Muchen, even if Muchen has Amu's memory, it does not mean that he is Amu. . "

"No, he is already." The old man did not change his face, as if confident in it, "Since I gave him orders to enter the marginal world to kill that marginal will, he has gradually become a real Amu. Especially when he Rejecting my orders and refusing to kill the fringe will have proved that he is the brand new Amu. "

"What do you mean?" Kim didn't quite understand.

"Because the marginal will is Amu's 'brother' and a 'brother' that Amu loves. As long as Mu Chen accepts the existence of this 'brother' and loves this 'brother' as much as Amu, It means that Mu Chen has completely assimilated with Amu and completely accepted Amu's emotional memories and thoughts. "

"Similarly, so is Ashin, as long as he falls in love with this 'brother' and attempts to be with him."

When the old man said here, he smiled: "That's why I said that I succeeded. Both Amu and Axin have been resurrected."

"What's the point of resurrecting the dead three hundred years ago? Is it just to fulfill the promise?" Kim seized this golden opportunity and kept asking questions to the old man. He felt that the old man at this moment would not reject his question.

"I am a person who keeps his promises, and it is naturally necessary to honor the promises." The old man said, "However, I do all this, and I also want to experiment on this pair of brothers."

"experiment?"

"My companions have been dead for too long." The old man glanced at the icy "coffin" piled up around him.

"I should have told you before, in this world ... no, all life in this universe exists as a hazy energy body after death. This is what you humans generally think of as the 'soul'."

"Souls cannot exist forever. Every minute and every second of their existence consumes their own energy. Over time, the soul will slowly dissipate, become primitive particles, and merge into the heavens and the earth."

"In the process of dissipating many souls, they will slowly abandon their memories, emotions, and even self." The old man sighed, "becomes a pure energy body without any self-thinking."

"Even on our planet, we have preserved these souls by creating a spiritual space similar to the" peripheral world ", but still cannot completely prevent the" death "of these souls, at most, to make the process of extinction slower. . "

The old man's words made Jin completely enlighten.

Kim was surprised: "You mean, your companions ... because the death has been so long, so the soul has been ..."

"Yes." The old man nodded. "Besides, our family realizes eternal life by replacing the flesh. In the process of replacing the flesh, the soul will be more or less worn, so the soul of our family is very weak. "

"We have no way to continue to replace the flesh, because the soul is so weak that we cannot afford any bumps. We can only think of other ways to achieve our" eternal life. "

Jin suddenly felt horrified and his back chilled. "What you call the other way is to make a fuss about our human soul? Just like Mu Chen did, let a person who has a good self-will will become another person. '?'

"Not completely changed into another person," the old man took for granted, "Mu Chen still retains his original self, but is integrated into Amu's personality habits and emotional memory."

"What's the difference between this and becoming 'another person'?" Kim couldn't help but raise the volume.

"It depends on your understanding of the self-will." The old man looked at gold with sharp eyes. "What is the so-called" self "? Is it the will formed by the condensed feelings and memories? If there is a person with you With exactly the same feelings and memories, can you say that person is you? "

Jin opened his mouth and he couldn't answer.
