Chapter 456: Alien Angel Burial
Chapter 456 Alien Angel "Burial Body"
Looking at Lao Mo's heart, the convenience store owner-003 couldn't help but sigh, but he didn't say much and started the operation.
He was seen holding Lao Mo's heart in one hand, and with the other hand he began to release some light golden aura. These light golden auras continued to condense and eventually became silk threads as thick as a hair.
After the silk thread condensed, it was woven around Lao Mo's heart under the control of the convenience store owner-003. Soon, a golden network covered the surface of Lao Mo's heart, making it look like a sweater was put on Lao Mo's heart.
Afterwards, the colorful light released from Lao Mo's heart was obscured and almost impossible to see.
Then, the store owner-003 threw the heart lightly, and the heart drew an arc and accurately stopped at the top of the pile of corpses. Then, like a pile for laying the foundation, it fell heavily into the pile of corpses.
The golden aura covering the surface of Lao Mo's heart was like a tunnel boring machine, which opened a huge hole in the pile of corpses and went deeper and deeper into Lao Mo's heart.
The pile of corpses began to spasm violently as if it had life. Almost all of them began to tremble and let out hoarse and low howls of pain. Waves of air surged out again and again, impacting Lin Yi's soul. In a trance, Lin Yi actually felt as if he was facing a weakened version of the "Holy Temple" air wave baptism.
The store owner-003 stood with his hands behind his back, quietly observing the changes in front of him, as if from this moment on, the development of things had nothing to do with him.
Lin Yi silently observed the time on his watch. After about a minute, the pile of corpses stopped releasing air waves, but the trembling did not stop. The sticky, oily substance in the flesh cracks was still being squeezed out...
The shop owner-003 watched silently, then slowly exhaled: "Okay..."
"Okay? Uh... it's okay now?" Lin Yi showed a surprised look. No... you just put on a farming show here and told me it's okay?
"What about Lao Mo? Will he come out from here?"
The shop owner-003 said: "I guess so."
"No, what do you mean by 'believe to be'? It's not that I'm worried, Boss, you've already shown me everything, why don't you explain it a little more?" Lin Yi asked, rubbing his hands.
The shop owner-003's eyes were still on the "funeral body". After hearing Lin Yi's words, he also knew that this was his concern for Lao Mo, so he explained: "This has to start from the beginning..."
"Yesterday evening, Lao Mo sensed Mu Daxian's 'death' and came to the canteen to find me. He told me about his plan to go to the art building."
"I left a secret pattern in his heart. This secret pattern is a group with another secret pattern in the backpack. When combined, they can form a simple 'coordinate system'. Once I sense it, I will penetrate the layer with my perception and directly descend to the art building layer."
"But the prerequisite for doing so is that his heart leaves his body, which means that the situation is in a desperate situation."
"But Lao Mo has already died. His life is no longer restricted by the conventional sense of 'existence', so I have stored his will in my heart... Extraordinary creatures only need a 'carrier' and a 'will' to achieve their 'own existence'. For example, if you only have a skeleton left, as long as your will is still there, you can use extraordinary power to regenerate."
"Lao Mo can't do what you do, so he needs external help."
"So I asked you to bring his heart back so that I can rebuild his body."
"Because he is different from you, he won't be as lively and energetic as you are after being reshaped."
After hearing this, Lin Yi understood a little, but still asked: "So, this "burial body" is to provide... materials for Lao Mo's reconstruction?"
"That's right." Shop owner-003 nodded, "Supernormal needs to be made with supernormal materials. Although some junk materials can also be used to reshape him, some good materials can save him a lot of effort to upgrade again, plus the new materials I got from the Angel yesterday - although they are just scraps, they are the Angel's scraps after all."
"I used those materials to rebuild Lao Mo's body, so that his foundation will be much better than before."
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Lin Yi nodded repeatedly: "I understand...it's an improvement in peripherals! Then Lao Mo can be considered a blessing in disguise."
"A blessing in disguise." The shop owner-003 said disdainfully, "It's all because of his good luck. It's because you have so many hidden cards. Otherwise, if someone else had gone with him, they would have died there. Even if I could come, there's no way I could get my heart back."
Lin Yi thought about it, but he couldn't refute what the store owner-003 said.
Because he knew his own strength, no one else could do what he did. He would most likely be killed by the Mage or the guy who looked like the ultimate form of the Alien Angel...
Luck really does matter.
Not only is Lao Mo's luck important, his luck is equally important.
So...it's true.
But so many events that require luck to accomplish, aren’t they also a calculation?
So…if this was a calculation, whose calculation was it?
Lin Yi narrowed his eyes subconsciously.
At this time, the store owner-003 sighed again: "Lao Mo's strengths and weaknesses are very obvious."
"As the 'executive' of the cafeteria, his talent is not the best over the years, but no one can surpass his will."
"With this kind of will, as long as he doesn't die young, he will sooner or later become one of the best guardians on campus."
"But the problem is that he has too much humanity."
"Too much human nature... is a shortcoming, but also an advantage."
"If one's humanity is weak, one won't have the determination to fight to the death to protect others, and one won't take that step to become an Ashbringer."
"But because he is too human, he will take many risks... You should understand that his life is tied to the cafeteria, which not only guarantees his immortality, but also allows him to take risks recklessly. However, once he leaves the cafeteria, his humanity remains, but the life-saving support is gone."
"It would be irresponsible to play with your life in that situation."
"Once he dies completely, the cafeteria will be in crisis."
“Humanity is important, but divinity is also indispensable.”
"Especially in today's environment, only absolute rationality can see through the crux of the problem."
"Besides, it's not easy to have such a good seedling. If it gets damaged, it will be so painful."
Lin Yi seemed to have heard something. At the end of what the store owner-003 said, his tone seemed to be that he wanted Lao Mo to become the new store owner.
But he didn't catch this point and asked, instead he asked: "Boss... you just said that Lao Mo is the "Apostle of Ashes"? What's going on?"
Since this topic was brought up, the shop owner-003 had no intention of hiding anything and said directly: "If you want to understand how Lao Mo could be the "Ashebringer", you must understand what the 'Ashebringer' is." "Let me ask you, Lin Yi, do you know what the 'Ashebringer' is?"
He looked at Lin Yi.
Lin Yi thought about it and then expressed his latest conclusion: "I feel...Apostle of Ashes is actually a 'state'."
The shop owner-003 opened his mouth in surprise, and a hint of surprise flashed in his cold, gem-like eyes: "Not bad."
This is a good sentence, which not only affirms Lin Yi's answer, but also affirms Lin Yi's understanding.
"'Ashebringer'... is both a position and a state. When a unit actively or passively ignites the ashes it carries, it can be called an 'Ashebringer'."
"Old Mo carried the ashes from the store when his body died. Originally, he would have died after the ashes burned him up, but his will remained indestructible under the burning of the ashes, and he even turned those invaders into his fuel."
"When he was dead, he awakened a characteristic that could interrupt the absorption of other units' supernatural powers. Relying on that characteristic, he killed to stop killing, and used his own body as a furnace to absorb supernatural powers and maintain supplies while tempering the ashes absorbed from the canteen, eventually becoming the "Apostle of Ashes."
“But his ‘Ashebishi’ is a very vague concept, because he is already dead, so his extraordinary power comes from the cafeteria, and his ashes come from the canteen.”
"His body is limited in the amount of power it can carry, so even if he is 'fully charged', it will be depleted after leaving the cafeteria. But in the cafeteria area, it is equivalent to being connected to the charging cable at all times."
After hearing this, Lin Yi still had some questions that were not answered: "But... since Lao Mo is the "Apostle of Ashes", why don't I feel the breath of ashes from him?"
The shop owner-003 suddenly laughed: "When did you start to be able to sense the ashes? If I remember correctly, when we met last night, you couldn't clearly sense the existence of the ashes, right?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head and said, "Yeah! It was only after I left that I could clearly sense the ashes..."
"So Lao Mo himself has ashes?"
"He has it, but he can't use it." The shop owner-003 said, "Because of his special nature, he can only fully exert the power of the "Ashebringer" in the cafeteria area."
"After he left, the ashes became a high-purity supplement for him. When necessary, he could transform the ashes into extraordinary power and absorb it."
"It can be used in that way?!" Lin Yi asked in surprise, "Doesn't that mean that we can eliminate the ashes at any time?"
He thought of the way the boss helped him eliminate the ashes. Could it be that it was the same principle that the convenience store owner-003 talked about?
The shop owner-003 shook his head and said, "Once you adapt to and carry the ashes, the ashes will continue to fall from the void like snowflakes. If you want to eliminate the ashes, the best time is before you completely adapt to them."
“After you get used to it, the ashes will keep coming. Even if you eliminate them, you will be stained again until the ashes accumulate and burn.”
"As for Lao Mo, no...his ashes all came from the store. Once he left, they would be gone."
Lin Yi couldn't help but sigh: "Is the restriction so big?"
"Let's consider the pros and cons at the same time." said the store owner-003.
Lin Yi nodded silently.
Indeed, Lao Mo is bound to the cafeteria. Anchored to each other, he is almost immortal. If he can continue to use ashes and supernatural powers outside the cafeteria area, then what is the difference between him and a mobile fortress?
So the term Ashbringer has a very broad meaning, just like the "Super Saiyan".
It can refer to a Saiyan who has trained to the point where he can turn into golden hair but has not yet transformed, or it can refer to a Saiyan in golden hair state.
But then again... he thought of the dormitory managers who walked into the imperial dormitory that night...
Since "Lao Mo + canteen = tank", is there a situation where Lao Mo controls the canteen?
Thinking of this, several images involuntarily emerged in his mind...
……
"Even if I have to shoulder the responsibility of the campus and support the cafeteria, I, Lao Mo, am still invincible in the world!"
"Ah—Boss, save me!"
……
"Angel, Lao Mo is here today, using the campus cafeteria to fight you... One cafeteria opens the gate to heaven!"
……
"puff……"
Lin Yi couldn't help but spit out his food. Damn, this is too abstract. If he thinks about it any further, he's going to think of "canteen entanglement"...
Seeing Lin Yi's sudden reaction, the shop owner-003 couldn't help but look at him again: "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Yi quickly wiped his sweat: "No... I was just wondering what the characteristics of ash are."
The shop owner-003 said: "I think you may have also felt that the ashes themselves do not actually have many remarkable characteristics..."
Lin Yi, who was wiping his sweat, twitched the corner of his mouth fiercely.
"No, I didn't say that... I didn't feel anything at all..."
But since the convenience store owner-003 said so, he shamelessly put on an expression that said "Yes, I actually felt it too, please continue", and waited for the convenience store owner's next words with a stern face.
The shop owner-003 continued: "According to the records of the code, ashes are the embers produced when the "sun" goes out. After being filtered through multiple dimensions, they penetrate into the power of this world that you can perceive..."
Lin Yi's expression suddenly became serious: "The embers of the sun?"
[The sun has long gone out, how long can the afterglow illuminate them? ]
[The gray fog has arrived, and you will all die.]
The embers of the sun are probably the afterglow. These ashes... are they evolved from the afterglow?
What about the gray fog?
Lao Mo said that the gray fog was caused by the "root", and Lao Mo heard this information from the Night Watch, so could it be that the "root" was the culprit that caused the sun to go out?
But if the "roots" are hidden deep in the layers of art, then the "sun"...
Could it be the black sun in the black sky above the Art Building? !
