Chapter 412 I Really Don’t Have Any Big Conspiracy
Chapter 412 I Really Don’t Have Any Big Conspiracy
The staff of the Chamber of Commerce entered with piles of agreements. There was a commotion in the hall, and the process of signing the agreements began.
The curious Princess Longji waved her hand, used her magical power to take a copy of the agreement, and unfolded it to take a closer look.
The agreement was written very clearly and just as Wen Rui said, it clearly stated that mortals (souls) would be hired for 10 days, with preferential wages, and participation was voluntary.
It is said that the latest technology of freezing the body and separating the soul has been adopted. The soul will work after leaving the body, and the frozen body will be preserved by the Chamber of Commerce.
After the work is completed, the Chamber of Commerce will be responsible for thawing the body, performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and monitoring health conditions. The costs of the recovery period will be borne by the Chamber of Commerce.
The risks were not concealed. The agreement mentioned that the soul-resurrection technology was not perfect and there was a 0.3% chance that the souls could not be revived, which was about 300 people based on the number of people. However, it was promised that once a person died, a pension of 10 credit coins would be paid, 10 extra points would be given to the children in the college entrance examination, and relatives would have priority in taking positions within the chamber of commerce system.
They also promise that after death one will be reincarnated into the human world with the privilege of being reborn, and that the blessings in the next life will be greater than those in this life.
The last item is also marked with a line of small words: "Special thanks to Hongluan Star God and Changgeng Star God for striving for benefits."
……
It really explains the matter of sending people to their deaths clearly and plainly.
In short, it means that you will not die unjustly and will die a worthy death.
The mortals in the hall were very active and enthusiastic. Even those who were illiterate, after listening to the staff's simple explanation, immediately snatched the agreement and pressed their fingerprints, as if they would lose the precious opportunity if they were slow.
"They are all rushing to die. What went wrong?" After putting down the agreement, Princess Longji sighed softly.
"Don't you think the conditions I offer are very generous?"
Wen Rui was surprised when he heard this, "The sentient beings who died in the Conferred God Tribulation can't get a penny of compensation. The people who supported the Shang Dynasty will be reborn with less blessings and downgraded. This is a world of worse and worse. I am already the least bad mortal reaper. In other words, I am the most benevolent and holy ruler in the Three Realms."
"Can you guarantee that your so-called freezing and resuscitation ability really only has a mortality rate of 0.3?"
As if she had discovered a blind spot, Princess Longji pressed on the details and asked, "What if something went terribly wrong and everyone died?"
"The worst that can happen is that all employees will be compensated with pensions."
Wen Rui remained calm, as if he was saying something very ordinary: "They say life is priceless, but in fact there is nothing that cannot be valued. 10 credits can buy a life. If you don't want to die, there are many people who are willing to die."
"Besides, don't underestimate my rigor as a scientist. When I was carrying out the Phoenix Project 0.3 years ago, the cryonics technology had already gone through multiple rounds of clinical testing. It is a relatively mature technology, and the risks have been controlled to the lowest possible level. The % ratio is not something I made up. It is objective data obtained by summarizing thousands of experimental cases."
During the time when the two were talking, the signing event for tens of thousands of people had basically ended. Only a dozen people chose to withdraw after weighing the pros and cons. After the staff took them away, they were immediately replaced by a dozen mortals who were jubilant as if they had picked up a great bargain.
"Once the agreement is signed, you can no longer regret it..."
Wen Rui turned on the loudspeaker again, speaking in a cold tone, much like a black-hearted business owner who tricked people into signing a trap contract.
"Well, of course, that's not accurate. If I can pay the penalty of 10,000 credits, I can still cancel the contract."
"Does anyone want to tear up the contract now? The body freezing experiment is about to begin. After the soul leaves the body, it will be impossible to tear up the contract even if you want to."
The crowd below the stage burst into laughter again.
"Boss, we are not stupid. Who dares to tear up the Chamber of Commerce's contract? We either don't sign it or we have to fulfill it even if we die."
"After signing the contract, I feel more at ease. I am sure to make money."...
Another brave citizen responded by shouting, and the scene of people rushing to their death with laughter and joy made Princess Longji frown.
"Okay!" Wen Rui made the final decision and said loudly, "Then, I declare the Soul Separation Experiment officially started. Everyone, please pay attention and stand according to the markings on the ground!"
The standing positions had been marked on the floor of the hall in advance, and the people seemed to have had relevant experience before, and they obeyed the instructions and stood in their respective positions.
Just as people took their positions, cylindrical crystal jars two meters high and one meter wide rose from the ground.
"Everyone enter the tank. No matter what happens, do not panic or move."
The hatch of the tank was opened, and the people walked in obediently without any suspicion.
"Very good. I have wanted to conduct such a large-scale human experiment for a long time, but I have never found the opportunity."
Wen Rui's tone became excited, and his expression became full of desire for knowledge. He looked a bit like an evil scientist who was about to get what he wanted.
"Now we have the right time, right place, and right people. The Jade Emperor has given us special approval, and Heaven has granted us special permission. If we don't take what Heaven has given us, we will suffer the consequences. Muhahaha..."
Princess Longji, who was standing by, felt more and more that Wen Rui was still hiding some dark thoughts, and he became complacent when it was obvious that his conspiracy was about to succeed.
"You...what are you going to do? You must have some bad intentions, and want to use these people's souls to do something shameful, right?"
Wen Rui reacted immediately and put on a poker face: "I don't understand what you are talking about. If you accuse someone, you need evidence, otherwise I will report you to the Jade Emperor for slander. The last guy who slandered me has been sent to the Heavenly Prison."
What bad intentions could Wen Rui have?
He just wanted to collect data from the human race's large-scale soul-separation experiments to lay the foundation for the next larger-scale soul-separation experiment.
Ten thousand human souls are needed to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The most powerful banner-type magic weapons in the prehistoric world are the Netherworld Bone Banner and the Soul-Killing Banner, which are types of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.
The Ten Thousand Souls Banner is a very powerful acquired treasure. Of course, it can also be called a demonic treasure. It can bypass all golden bodies and directly attack the enemy's soul.
Soul-killing magic weapons and magical powers are impossible to guard against, even gods cannot stop them.
To refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, one does not need top-grade materials, nor the highest level of treasure-refining techniques. The key to the key is to collect enough souls.
The more souls there are, the more powerful the magic weapon will be.
Moreover, among all the souls of living beings, the soul of the human race is the best. When all the souls are combined into a banner, it will produce incredible soul-capturing power, and can even forcibly extract the enemy's soul.
Even when facing an immortal with a powerful spirit, waving the Ten Thousand Souls Banner can produce a miraculous effect of bewitching and shocking the soul.
Of course, Wen Rui did not intend to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner. He just wanted to test its feasibility in case of future need.
If the technology is mature enough, Wen Rui can temporarily mobilize the souls of the millions of human subjects under his rule at any time to create a million-soul banner with a time limit.
Isn't it the same as the Spirit Bomb that gathers the energy of the earth for its own use and kills all powerful enemies with one shot?
Even if a saint were to attack and be hit by a torrent of millions of souls and a soul-killing cannon, and experience the suffering, emotions, and worldly fireworks of millions of living beings at the same time when their souls collided, could the saint's soul, which is high above, still be immortal?
